"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will definitely bring Shen Guang and Sun Simiao back." Niu Jinda bowed loudly and said.
"If something cannot be done and your own safety is the top priority, you can give up on Sun Simiao." Wang Junlin thought for a moment and then added further.
"I understand the humble position." After Niu Jinda finished speaking, he quickly clasped fists with Wang Sichun, then turned and left together.
After the two left, Wang Junlin came to the door, looked up at the sky, and found that there was no sign of a solar eclipse in the sky.
"Are the historical records wrong? No, maybe it's because my appearance has changed history and the time of Queen Dugu's death. Will there still be a solar eclipse?"
"The solar eclipse will definitely appear, but I don't know when it will appear?"
"Without the solar eclipse as a trigger, if Yang Yong wanted to cause trouble, he would have to wait at least until after the queen's funeral. I can't wait until then by pretending to be sick."
Wang Junlin murmured to himself, with a strange and emotional look on his face.
…
…
Yang Suzheng was worried that he had been framed to assassinate Wang Junlin. He was thinking about what price he would have to pay this time to be able to calm his cheeks in front of Yang Jian. Then he heard Xu Jingzong shouting outside the door: "My lord, my lord, your queen." Holy shit."
The queen is dead? Yang Su was stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on. She has been surviving until today, and Queen Dugu is finally gone?
This was not good news for him and the prince, but it was a great opportunity to get rid of the difficulties he was facing.
Yang Su didn't have much emotion, only an assessment of the pros and cons.
However, Yang Su soon felt that another huge stone was weighing on his heart. From now on, the most noble person in the palace was Emperor Yang Jian, who was suspicious of all civil and military ministers. He also supported Yang Guang as the crown prince. Yang Jian's idea is not very firm.
…
…
The bells of the Taoist temples in the capital rang together, announcing to all the people in the world that the queen was dead and living in the palace.
The sound of the bells pierced the clouds and cracked the rocks. More than 500,000 soldiers and civilians in Daxing City came out of their houses one after another, counting the number of bells.
For more than a year before, because the queen was seriously ill, the ministers often went to pray to heaven and earth, ancestral temples, communities and shrines in the capital. Temples and temples also set up dojos at regular intervals. The prefectures, prefectures, counties, local governors, prefects, and county magistrates all went to burn incense and pray according to the order. Those in the capital had no money to buy certificates, so they worked as a novice, novice, or novice for more than ten years. Men and women who were tonsured were also given ultimatums by special decree.
As for all the slightly famous doctors, Buddhist and Taoist monks, famous outsiders in the world, and people who have lived for more than eighty years, etc., Yang Jian ordered all the states and counties to find them. Young Master was sent to the capital. Even Sun Simiao, a miracle doctor and known as the King of Medicine, also came to the capital.
But all this failed to save Queen Dugu's life. There were four to five hundred days of turmoil, including the battle with Tuyuhun and the Turks in Yongzhou last year. During this period, the palace was always busy, until Queen Dugu came to visit today. sky.
One of the two founding saints of the Sui Dynasty, Dugu Jiabintian, a virtuous empress of the generation, naturally had to hold a funeral in accordance with the standards of a national funeral, and also banned music when leaving the court.
As soon as the funeral begins, it will last for nine consecutive days. This is because of the hot weather. If it is in winter, it will last for eighty-one days. Moreover, this is the Queen's mausoleum. Yang Jian has already ordered it to be prepared. If,
If the Queen's mausoleum has not yet been placed, the burial period will be even longer.
Since it was a national funeral, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in Kyoto were required to attend. Wang Junlin was spared from attending because he was seriously ill and dying.
…
…
On the ninth day, which was also the last day, the civil and military officials of the entire court and the royal family and clans collectively paid homage to the Empress Dowager. The emperor and the courtiers visited the Shenju Palace as usual, and the censor was in charge of impeachment. Su Wei, the censor, was watching in the palace.
, to see which official violated the rules of etiquette.
The Shangshu Ling has been empty since Gao Ying was deposed. The most senior servant, Yang Su, was dressed in mourning clothes and led the ministers to worship. The clan and royal relatives also performed rituals in the train. Although Yun left the court, he was still in the divine residence.
The court ceremony in the palace is the same as the regular court ceremony.
The minister's right servant, Shaobao, the prince, and Su Wei, the imperial censor, were sitting behind the palace door, closely watching every move of the courtiers in the palace, while the eyes of his subordinates were also like hawks, looking through their robes.
When it comes to attire, no detail has been spared. Clothing is part of the etiquette, and any mistake means disrespect to the Empress Dowager. Everyone knows that the emperor must be in a bad mood at this time. Anyone who dares to be in such a situation and
Showing disrespect to the dead Queen Dugu will definitely lead to bad luck.
However, at this time, the Emperor Yang Jian was not in the main hall, and except for Su Wei, the chief officials of the three provinces and six departments were not there either. They were all discussing matters with Yang Jian in the side hall. Although they were said to have quit the court, they were just not attending the court.
That's all. After all, such a huge empire has too many political affairs to deal with every day. Some things can be postponed for a while, but some things cannot be delayed.
The rebellion of the Nanping barbarians in the Minshu region was put down by General Zuotunwei Mai Tiezhang, and these Nanping barbarian territories were completely included in the rule of the Sui Dynasty. Although the population was not large, with a total of more than 100,000 people, the area was huge
Not a little, the imperial court has decided to establish a new county named Nanping County.
In addition, the newly restored land needs governance, immigration, reclamation, and appeasing the barbarian natives, which urgently requires a large amount of financial, material, and manpower. This requires the court to raise money, materials, and manpower for this purpose. The establishment of Nanping County also represents a greater
More official positions, more merits, and more opportunities for promotion have attracted many officials who are interested in side affairs. Many people are trying their best to get there. Even Wang Junlin, who claims to be recuperating at home, is also looking for someone.
Come to your door and ask him to speak kindly to His Majesty for this purpose.
The establishment of a series of civil and military officials in Nanping County and the defense of the garrison are all matters that need to be done as soon as possible. However, the appointment of the three main officials of Nanping County, the governor, the chief historian, and Ying Yanglang, was debated in the court one morning.
But it's very powerful, and there is still no conclusion yet.
However, today's topic will not be limited to this matter. Su Wei glanced towards the side hall of Shenju Palace with a complicated expression. As early as five days ago, he had noticed an unusual force secretly preparing to impeach Yang.
Su, including nearly one-third of his censors.
Su Wei was naturally extremely angry that his officials impeached Yang Su, a figure he could not offend, without his consent, but he believed that he was a mysterious figure who could quietly connect so many officials from the DPRK and China.
He couldn't afford to offend him, not to mention that he had already quietly checked the censors who tried to impeach Yang Su this time. These people all had a common characteristic - they were all promoted and placed by Gao Ying from various states and counties.
At the Yushitai.
It's just because time has passed so long that no one except Su Wei, an old minister who is in charge of the Yushitai and is known for his cunning, has noticed this. And with Su Wei's character, unless forced,
He will never tell anyone about his discovery.
Therefore, today, he deliberately avoided the storm in the side hall next to him by checking whether the officials in the temple had violated etiquette.
However, Yang Su actually dared to send people to use eight oxen crossbows and powerful crossbows in the army to openly assassinate an important border general and founding lord on the streets of the capital. This mistake was a bit serious.
It doesn't matter if you find someone to kill Wang Junlin. For example, you can send dead soldiers or hire green forest heroes. As long as you don't leave any evidence, it won't be a big deal for an important minister like Yang Su. But privately using the Eight Bull Crossbows and Strong Crossbows in the army
, and the Hou Guanfu obtained conclusive evidence and evidence, the nature is completely different. What's more, this was a deliberate plan, and naturally they would not miss this opportunity to bring down Yang Su.
There were only more than twenty censors in the Yushitai, and one-third of them impeached Yang Su because of this incident. One of the sharp words said that Yang Su used the eight-niu crossbow and the powerful crossbow without authorization to kill those who were loyal to the court.
The hero of the Geng Geng has the intention of treason. If the wording is slightly more euphemistic, it is said that Yang Su used his power for personal gain, deceived the emperor, ignored his superiors, and was domineering.
Several censors joined hands to impeach one person. This was the first time such a situation occurred in the censorship platform since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, after three provinces and six ministries were used to formulate the imperial outline. Once it appeared, it immediately caused a violent shock in the court situation. Because since Gao Ying was impeached
After being demoted to a commoner, Yang Su was already regarded as the number one person in the current dynasty. If Yang Su fell, the group of officials who relied on Yang Su would inevitably begin to suffer misfortune.
In principle, the purpose of joining the Censorship Station is to supervise all officials for the emperor, and you should not be afraid of offending others. Therefore, to supervise the Censorship, young officials who are slightly prestigious but have little qualifications are selected to take advantage of their youthful and vigorous energy to serve as the emperor.
The emperor suppressed the powerful prime minister. But no matter how young he was, there was a limit. Basically, they were in their thirties and forties, and they had to have at least five or six years of official career to qualify.
In a few days, Yang Su seems to have become the target of public criticism. Tomorrow, there will be even more people impeaching Yang Su.
The imperial censors can influence the impeachment direction of the censors to a certain extent, but they have no power to interfere or prevent their impeachment. Su Wei does not want to offend Yang Su, but he cannot prevent the censors below from being impeached under the instructions of others.
Yang Su, not to mention his poor reputation in the Sui Dynasty officialdom and the Qing Dynasty, could not control the censors below.
Su Wei sighed deeply with a look of emotion on his face.
However, Su Wei was wrong. No one in the side hall was impeaching Yang Su at this time, or it was not his turn to do so.
How could Yang Su not make arrangements? So under the guidance and arrangements of Yang Su and his minions, after the discussions on Nanping County in the Minshu region were completed, they began to discuss and finalize matters related to the funeral of the queen who died of illness. These matters were relatively complicated.
One thing after another, for a while it was no longer the turn to talk about Yang Su.
However, when Yang Jian listened to the ministers reporting on the Queen's funeral preparations, he was distracted.
