Chapter 606 Move the stone and hit the foot, is it sour or not?
When Xiao Tang arrived at Xuande Tower to verify his true identity and entered the court room to prepare for the pilgrimage, his appearance immediately attracted the attention of other courtiers. It was Wang Huan, Han Cunbao and others who held the false title of Jiedu envoy from Bianjing.
In the officialdom, there was no need to go to the inner city to attend court. Most of the other court officials, no matter how far away they were from Xiao Tang, came forward to bow to him.
After all, it is very rare that Xiao Tang, who has always been well-known in Bianjing, survived in Liaodong. The last time it was involved in Xiao Tang, the controversy in the Chui Gong Hall was quite fierce. It was because of how to pursue the posthumous title of Xiao Tang.
However, this time all the parties concerned had to come to the court meeting to see how they would be rewarded. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, such bizarre things had never happened in the court.
While Xiao Tang was returning the salute to everyone, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Gao Qiu, who was not far away, with a face as heavy as water, and a pair of moves full of resentment, and he was staring at him hard. When Gao Qiu saw him
When Xiao Tang also noticed him, he still did not hide his hatred and snorted heavily, brushed his long sleeves hard and left.
Seeing that Gao Qiu now did not hide his hostility towards him in public, it was exactly like when he met Xiao Tang, he boasted that he was a head above the other person and was calm and composed, just like a tabby cat playing with a mouse.
On his face, Xiao Tang gradually showed a smile. It seemed that the old thief Gao Qiu was indeed anxious and had realized the threat he would bring to him. And Gao Qiu's uncontrollable reaction today was also
It means that he has started to get into trouble.
It seems that although Gao Qiu, who was born as a rogue, is cunning, his scheming in the city is far inferior to that of the civil servants of various factions who have long been trained to discuss power struggles in the court.
When it was time to go to court, the civil and military classes at all levels lined up in the Chui Gong Hall. Zhao Ji also walked to the dragon chair and sat down amidst the shouts of the ministers, and the official in the Chui Gong Hall also said loudly: "Something's wrong
Play early after leaving work, and if nothing happens, roll up the curtain and leave the court!"
As soon as the official finished speaking, another official from the squad came to ask for an order and sent out a report to Dr. Wude. Xiao Tang, the chief minister in front of the palace who was in charge of the official affairs of the pacification envoy company on Jingnan Road, came to the cabinet in the west.
The envoy sent him to the Liao Kingdom, but the Liao Dynasty misreported that he died in Liaodong. Now that Xiaodu Yuhou has returned safely, the posthumous title and the official title of the living ministers are really inconsistent with the system, so they must
The merits of Xiao and Tang were renegotiated and canonized separately.
And Zhao Ji had already made a plan in his heart, saying that Xiao Aiqing had worked hard and was in danger this time for the country, and was in danger of death. How could I let down the loyal Qing family? What he meant was
Except for Wu Jing's posthumous title in memory of his deceased ministers, all other official positions should be retained.
Zhao Ji made such a plan to save trouble, and it also showed the magnanimity of his emperor's grace. Gao Ji, who was ranked first among the military ministers, snorted in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to jump out and plead.
Zhao Ji revoked the title and reward for Xiao Tang's leapfrog.
Because before going to court, Sun Jing, an aide in the palace commander's office, once told Gao Qiu that there were many mature and prudent officials in the court who strictly followed the ancestral rules, and there were ministers from other factions in the court with their own agendas. Xiao Tang's qualifications were shallow.
He was favored by the officials, but it was enough that Xiao Tang received an exceptional promotion when he first came to court. The previous time he was promoted to a higher level because he was already a "dead man", but he was promoted one after another, making this person just a mere person a few years ago.
In the eyes of the Bianjing courtiers, the soldiers and horses who served as guards in the Daming Mansion were just military attaches the size of mustard seeds, and when they were promoted from a second-rank official position to a real court official, how could the other courtiers be convinced?
Therefore, Gao Qiu Xin said that instead of taking the lead in opposing him at this time, it would be better to arouse the excitement of other courtiers and ask the officials not to promote their favorites at will. But after a while, Gao Qiu
And unexpectedly, it was discovered that except for Chen Chaolao and others who formed secret factions in the court, a few Taixue scribes who always followed the rules came out and bluntly stated that the reward given to Xiao Tang was greatly inappropriate. Almost all ministers of the various factions in the court maintained their
Silence seemed to have acquiesced in the official reward for Xiao Tang.
The Cai Party, whose power in the DPRK is obviously growing day by day, has already received hints from Cai Jing that it intends to enable Xiao Tang to gain higher authority among the military factions;
What surprised Gao Qiu even more was that Zheng Juzhong, the most capable person in the court to compete with Cai Jing, and his close ministers also unanimously remained silent at this time;
Most of the officials who were under the control of the two divisions and three yamen in the palace were not qualified to go to court, while other military officials who were subordinate to the Privy Council and most of them secretly followed the advice of children looked at each other and said to themselves that although they seemed to be addicted to fighting.
The Tongjieshuai now rushes to the northwest side court to plan the war against Xixia and is not in the capital. However, he seemed to have intended to win over Xiao Tang, who was close to the official family, so they all chose to be a saw at this time.
You are a mouthful, and you have no objection to Xiao Tang being promoted again...
The remaining courtiers either had a very good relationship with Xiao Tang, or they were officials who were accustomed to being mere wallflowers. Even though there was still a weak voice of opposition in the court, those civil servants who were accustomed to learning had little foundation in the court. Zhao Ji
He only showed a hint of irritation and said, "You are not joking. My words are just like spilled water. How can I easily take back such a trivial matter?" With one sentence, I pushed back the weak minister.
Seeing such a scene, Gao Qiu could no longer stand.
However, when Gao Qiu secretly winked, he and several other generals who were in front of the palace commanding the envoys, guards, and horsemen, and commanding the envoys of the second army to serve him, and who were qualified to go to court, came out to tell the emperor that he was considerate of his ministers.
It was good, but when the official rank awarded to Xiao Tang was too high, even the few stupid young people in the court immediately became vigilant.
The first time Gao Qiu resorted to an evasive strategy, he went to persuade the officials to punish Xiao Tang, who dared to publicly slap his adopted son. The second time, he hypocritically asked the Zhao family to reward Xiao Tang with a posthumous title. The good Pope knew that he would cater to the Holy Will.
.So why did he go out of his way this time and bluntly say that although Xiao Tang was in danger when he went to Liao as an envoy, he had no great achievements and would never receive such a generous reward? Now, even those with low political intelligence in the court only need to think about it briefly.
They already guessed the reason:
In his second year of high school, he finally got anxious.
Those who can now be ranked above the court are either scholars, scholars, or ministers who have been through generations of generals, or ministers who can use all their means to manage things up and down, and who have tried their best to gain a place in the Chui Gong Palace. And Gao Qiu was a minister in his early years.
He was a notorious scoundrel in the city of Bianjing. Now he dominates the Palace Commander's family and has become more and more powerful. His reputation among the people of the capital is getting worse and worse. The most important point is that Gao Qiu completely relies on the officialdom.
His family's favor made him prosperous, but his relationship with the ministers of various factions in the court could not be said to be very close.
Therefore, regardless of whether they were honest officials or treacherous ministers, they all looked down upon Gao Qiuben. If you, the second year of Yuanshe High School, had not had such bad luck and ended up in the mansion of an official who had not yet ascended the throne, you would have been worthy of being a minister with us.
And he yelled at the officials and generals in Bianjing?
We are not afraid of not knowing people, but we are afraid of comparing ourselves to others. Even those high-ranking civil servants who started to promote Xiao Tang over the top level, most of them couldn't help but take a few steps back. It seemed that they couldn't afford to lose that person because they were in line with Gao Qiu's ideas.
Gao Qiu, who rashly objected for a moment, realized that most of the courtiers in the Chui Gong Palace looked at him with amusement, as if they wanted to see Xiao Tang becoming bigger and bigger among the generals faction, which would make him disgraced.
In panic, Gao Qiu raised his head and looked at Zhao Ji who was sitting on the dragon chair, but his heart skipped a beat because he saw the officials who had treated him with compassion and kindness in the past, and now his face became more and more displeased.
