Chapter 168 The Story of Clear Wear (77)
Qingchuan Story 77
Wholly?
If this is the case, it would be really heartbreaking to remember it seriously.
And this statement comes from the emperor's mouth, which makes it even more intriguing.
"Then call everyone here, let's talk about this." The emperor threw the joint letter into the box marked "Eight" and turned around and went out.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor summoned all the princes and princes, relatives and nobles, officials of the fourth rank or above in the capital to discuss politics.
Before the Fourth Master could think about how to write the memorial to recommend the crown prince, he received the order from the palace.
Lin Yutong hung up the purse with dried meat to the Fourth Master, "I don't know how long it will take, so I'll take a cushion first when I'm hungry."
The jerky meat has five-spice flavor, and it is covered with sesame seeds after it is released.
The Fourth Master let Lin Yutong organize it for him, and stood there and squeezed and ate half a dish. Now he has developed a lot of Lin Yutong's bad habits. As long as he is idle, he likes to stuff his snacks into his mouth.
"It's okay!" The Fourth Master wiped his hands, "This matter has nothing to do with us today. Wait for me to come back for dinner."
"What do you want to eat?" Lin Yutong knew that the Fourth Master was afraid that he would worry and tried to divert his attention. So he cooperated and said, "I cook myself. How about noodles? If you don't eat soup, you will come out and use hot water to eat it together."
"Okay!" The Fourth Master pointed Lin Yutong's nose, and the sesame seeds left on his hands stuck to her nose.
The Fourth Master raised his lips and turned around and went out. Su Peisheng lowered his head and followed the Fourth Master with a mercy.
Lin Yutong watched the Fourth Master go out. When she turned around, she saw that the girls were all bowing their heads. It was still Madam Yuan who came in. She didn't know what happened just now and suggested that Lin Yutong clean her face. She knew something was wrong.
I took the mirror and looked at it, and I couldn't help but laugh again.
He is still in the mood to do such a prank.
The Fourth Master was in a good mood all the way to the palace. The dried pork made by Fujin was even more fragrant than the dried pork. Along the way, he touched a bag of dried pork. He ate half a pound of dried pork into his stomach and immediately became full. Now it was almost time to order lunch, so he didn't have to eat lunch, so he had no problem until the evening.
When he arrived in the hall, he stood in his own position, waiting for the emperor to arrive. He could still hear the gushing of the third and fifth masters beside him.
The emperor does his business so casually, and he remembers whenever he wants. He doesn't even consider the feelings of the people below.
The emperor did not come quickly. Everyone stood in the hall for half an hour. After lunch, the emperor came late.
The Fourth Master knelt down below with everyone, listened to the emperor's screams, and stood up again.
"Before, I said that I asked everyone to submit a memorial to the establishment of the prince." Kangxi's voice could not tell the joy or anger. "Now, what is the situation? I did not ask in detail. The memorial was in the study room..." As he said that, he said, "Ma Qi, you are the minister of the study room, please tell me."
Ma Qi's cold sweat was falling, this was wrong.
But if you don’t tell the truth, what else can you say?
"Your Majesty, the memorials have been classified and asked people to carry them up." Ma Qi didn't dare to say it, so he could only put it out and asked everyone to see it.
Kangxi nodded, it was accurate.
Ma Qi stood up, wiped the sweat from his head, and waved to him. Soon, several eunuchs walked in with boxes and boxes.
The sound of breathing suddenly came to mind in the hall.
The one marked No. 8 is a huge box, and the other pieces have several small boxes. It is marked with the words "three", "four", "five", and "four".
Eighth Master's face turned pale all of a sudden.
This is definitely not what he meant.
But he is indeed the prince who has made the most foreign ministers.
Now I can't even explain clearly with my mouth.
The emperor pointed to a few boxes and boxes, "This is the result of the recommendation. If you only look at these results, the candidate for the prince seems to have come out." Then he pointed to the person below, "Not counting in other provinces, but in the capital, you are all here now. I would like to ask, how many of the memorials you have written are your own meanings? The person you recommend is someone you like. And this person can indeed inherit the throne and take on the responsibility of the world? How many of them are following the crowd, unable to expose their affection, or are they pretending to be the ones who follow the dragon and wear flower feathers on their heads?"
As soon as these words came out, no one in the hall dared to speak.
The Fourth Master stood with his eyes looking at his nose and nose, thinking to himself: It's true.
Who fell into this big pit?
His head lowered slightly, and he did not dare to let the emperor see his expression.
The emperor's eyes were as faint as his tone, but it also hit people's hearts.
"Tong Guowei, tell me, how did this memorial to elect the eighth prince Yinsi come? If there is no one in the middle of contact, how did they speak in unison? "
Tong Guowei stood up blankly, "The study room is for contacting the upper and lower levels. The emperor said... I'm sorry that I don't understand..."
"Okay! What a good contact." Kangxi walked down and stood beside Tong Guowei, "So you are still full of public opinion."
"The Eighth Prince is elegant and generous. If the servant has selfishness, would the ministers in the court have selfishness?" Tong Guowei raised his head, "The electoral of the Eighth Lord is the result of the discussion between the ministers in the court and the Shangshufang. As the Minister of the Shangshufang, I dare to say that everything is for the Qing Dynasty's country and the country, and there is no blame."
As soon as these words were said, the Fourth Master was stunned. Tong Guowei was really confused. At this time, he still didn't understand the depth of it. It seemed that the emperor had indeed spoiled the Tong family's name over the years.
The sweat on the Eighth Master's head was gone. Could it be that Tong Guowei did it? No.
If he really thought that when he got to this point, the emperor would succumb to public opinion. That would be a big mistake. The Eighth Master closed his eyes and just wanted to tell Tong Guowei to shut up immediately. Otherwise, he would have to put him in today.
Then the emperor asked, "What does going to study mean? Can Tong Guowei alone represent going to study?" As he said that, the emperor looked at Zhang Tingyu, "Zhang Tingyu, you are also the minister of going to study. I have read it, you did not sign the public note of going to study. So if you say that Tong Guowei elected the eighth prince Yinsi out of public intention?"
Zhang Tingyu's heart skipped a beat, and he never answered this.
It's selfish? It's definitely not possible. The emperor can say that Tong Guowei, but he can't. After all, he is the emperor's uncle. Moreover, he doesn't want to take the blame for his colleagues. Besides, there is still the matter of the Eighth Master in it. He is not afraid of offending others, but he can't do it.
Is it a public heart? Isn’t this clearly arguing with the emperor? I want to wear the top of my head for a few more days.
So, everyone envies themselves for being in a high position, so why don’t you understand the principle of being with the king as if you are with a tiger?
If you don’t have some urgency, you will be killed sooner or later.
So he took a deep breath and said, "Tong Guowei and Ma Qi recommended the Eighth Prince because the Eighth Prince is indeed outstanding. It is understandable to be recommended by the ministers. It is just that Lord Tong Guowei was careless for a moment and forgot the lesson of the gentleman's disagreement. It is difficult for me and the two adults to deal with major issues such as opposing the prince in the study room. It is really difficult to satisfy the emperor, to satisfy all officials, and to satisfy the people of the world. If there is a controversy in this result, then it is a good idea to ask the emperor to correct and re-refer to it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Fourth Master nodded in his heart. Zhang Tingyu really has something unique.
Before the emperor could speak, he heard Tong Guowei suddenly say, "Liar! Treacherous minister!" As he said that, he stood up and said to the emperor: "From ancient times to the present, no one has ever been loyal and treacherous, but Zhang Tingyu is right by Zhang Tingyu. The emperor ordered the electoral prince. Now the ministers are just following the orders. Where did they come from "inadvertent" and "forming cliques"? On the contrary, Zhang Tingyu is flattering to the emperor everywhere, what is it? He also asked the emperor to punish Zhang Tingyu for his crimes. He also appointed the prince as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people and to give full play to the emperor's virtue."
This guy must be crazy. Jiu Ye looked at Tong Guowei with a brand new look. If the prince is not appointed, the people cannot be at ease. Isn’t this a hint that the emperor is old and has no heirs to make people feel uneasy? If the prince is not appointed and the people are not given an explanation, the emperor will lose his virtue?
Is this what it means? Master Jiu’s heart and soul are starting to tremble.
This guy is really helping Lao Ba? Lao Ba is almost cheated to death.
As soon as Zhang Tingyu said that just now, he would just expose the matter gently. It doesn’t matter if he gets angry, but he has ruined Lao Ba.
Then the emperor said, "Listen, you all listen. Zhang Tingyu said good things to Tong Guowei, but Tong Guowei said that Zhang Tingyu was a treacherous minister. There is a word in the saint's words, "repaying kindness with grievances". I finally saw another one today. If Zhang Tingyu was a treacherous minister, then what is Tong Guowei who repays kindness with grievances? Shameless villain! Completely shameless villain!"
As soon as these words came to an end, the hall was filled with breathing sounds.
Tong Guowei is the emperor's uncle, and Tong Banchao, who has been with him for twenty years. He was scolded by the emperor as a shameless villain! The emperor's ruthless rebellion made everyone's hearts rise again.
"The emperor said that, "I have nothing to say." Tong Guowei knelt down, "But the servant just doesn't understand why all the civil and military officials in the court can't elect the Eighth Prince as the new crown prince? Please make it clear."
Kangxi walked up to the imperial seat, looked at Tong Guowei, and narrowed his eyes, "You are trying to force me to reveal your old truth."
Tong Guowei was stunned. What does this mean?
Eighth Master took a deep breath. As long as the emperor wanted to find a crime, where can your Tong family be clean? Why don’t you understand?
He stood up and knelt down, "Emperor Ahma, my son voluntarily withdrew from the new crown prince's recommendation. Please don't make things difficult for Lord Tong."
"Haha..." Kangxi looked at the Eighth Master and smiled, "It's no shame that everyone calls you the Eight Wise Kings. Tong Guowei charges for you, so you say good things about Tong Guowei. Sure enough, what is 'virtuous' is the place, and what is 'virtuous' is the time."
