Chapter 7 Hysteria
Yu Tianxi was sixteen years younger than Shi Miyuan. His grandfather Yu Di was close to Shi Miyuan's father Shi Hao. After Shi Hao became prime minister, he hired Yu Di as a private tutor, which was the teacher of the Shi family's private school. Shi Miyuan, who had been in charge of power in the Song Dynasty for decades, was the disciple of Yu Tianxi's grandfather Yu Di.
After Yu Di's death, Yu Tianxi failed many tests and was hired by Shi Miyuan as the tutor of the Shi family. In the past twenty years of Shi Miyuan's rule, Yu Tianxi has always been the right-hand man under Shi Miyuan.
When Prince Zhao Xun of Jingxian passed away, Emperor Ningzong of Song made Zhao Xun the prince. Because Zhao Xun was extremely dissatisfied with Shi Miyuan's behavior of dominating the government, he gave it to him more than once. In front of the beauty who was responsible for monitoring him, he said that after ascending the throne, he would exile Shi Miyuan to the frontier, and made Shi Miyuan finally decide to give up Zhao Xun.
Today, Emperor Lizong Zhao Yun was still in the countryside of Shaoxing at that time. He was not a prince, nor was he called Zhao Yun. At that time, Zhao Yun lived as a commoner. After his father died early, he lived with his biological mother Quan and lived in the home of his uncle who was the security chief in the countryside of Shaoxing.
Although Zhao Yun's father Zhao Xiyuan was also a royal family, he was extremely distant from the royal family's blood relationship. Zhao Xiyuan had only been a minor official, and his life since childhood was almost no different from that of ordinary people.
Shi Miyuan didn't want Zhao Rong to be the emperor, so he asked Yu Tianxi to find the right person to replace Zhao Rong.
By chance, while Yu Tianxi was sheltering from the rain while she was on the way to Shaoxing, she happened to meet Zhao Yun and his son who lived in the countryside of Shaoxing. After discussing with Shi Miyuan, Shi Miyuan ordered Yu Tianxi's mother Zhu to go to Shaoxing to teach Zhao Yun's royal etiquette, and on the other hand, Zheng Qing, a great scholar who was an aide in Shi's mansion, went to Shaoxing to be a professor of Zhao Yun, and began to train and inspect Zhao Yun in all aspects.
After some investigation, weighing the pros and cons, after Ningzong's death, Shi Miyuan chose to forge an edict to abolish the prince Zhao Rong, who was dissatisfied with his control of the government, and instead pushed Zhao Yun to the throne.
It can be said that in addition to Shi Miyuan, Yu Tianxi, Yu Tianxi's mother Zhu and Zheng Qingzhi, all of whom were able to finally take up the throne.
Zhao Jun ascended the throne and delegated power to Shi Miyuan for more than ten years. It was not until Shi Miyuan died that he took over the government. Zheng Qingzhi had already made great contributions to the left prime minister as the emperor. Yu Tianxi's mother Zhu was named the wife of Zhou Chu State. Yu Tianxi became the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Lin'an Prefecture. He was already the de facto Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Finance of the Song Dynasty.
Yu Tianxi's younger brother Yu Tianren has now earned great achievements to the position of Minister of War. This shows how kindness Zhao Yun of Lizong was to these former nobles and his current ministers.
It is precisely because he knows that Zhao Yun is a nostalgic person and because he has a relationship with Emperor Lizong, that Yu Tianxi can dare to bite the bullet and excuse his son or even punish Concubine Jia under such circumstances.
After all, Concubine Jia is just a concubine. Although Zhao Yun favors her very much, he will never play tricks on state affairs after all. Especially in front of all the civil and military ministers in the court.
But no matter what, from the bottom of his heart, if Yu Tianxi didn't want to get along with Concubine Jia or even completely break up. He knew that he was old and once he retired or died, the Yu family would probably be unable to move in the court when facing the revenge of Concubine Jia and Sidao.
However, there were also cliques and official conflicts in the Song Dynasty, but there was never a case of forming a clique in the Ming Dynasty. After losing power in the officialdom, he was dismissed from office and was killed and killed.
For example, when Wang Anshi was reforming, although Sima Guang firmly opposed it, it was just a disagreement in politics. Even after the reform failed, Wang Anshi was dismissed from prime minister, the two had a very good personal relationship.
Therefore, Yu Tianxi was not worried that his family would be killed by Concubine Jia or Jia Sidao, who was in power in the future.
Of course, then again, for the literati who has its own golden house in the book, it is not much better than raiding a family and extermination of a family.
After all, it was his son. Although he was angry that he would not fight to embarrass himself in such an occasion, he could not do anything to watch his son being charged with.
If he does not stand up at this time, Yu Ci will be exempted from death, but the Jinshi body will definitely be trampled, and there will not even be a chance of rehabilitation in the future.
Yu Ci is already in his thirties, and he is not as old as Jia Sidao and has a lot of age to squander. He can't afford to wait or consume it.
What's more, Yu Ci had cheated Jia Sidao in front of all the civil and military officials of the court and even shot Concubine Jia hidden in it. Even if he didn't show up, it would be impossible for both sides to think that nothing had happened.
Concubine Jia helped her brother cheat?
If it is really as my son said, there is real evidence to prove that Concubine Jia invited the gunman to write a poem for Jia Sidao and win the title of poetry, maybe she could also pull Concubine Jia off the horse together.
After all, the imperial concubine is just a concubine. Even if she is favored, she can only be a concubine, not a queen. Besides, the Jia family is not as powerful as the Xie family, like Empress Xie.
Concubine Jia specializes in favor of the harem. If Empress Yang hadn’t felt that the title of “Empress Jia” was a bit unlucky, Concubine Jia should have been called Empress Jia. Regarding these things, wouldn’t Empress Xie have any quarrels in her heart?
Yu Tianxi didn't think Queen Xie would be so generous.
Everything just needs an opportunity, and the matter in front of him might be a good opportunity. He believed that he could see it, and the men of Queen Xie and his team could also see it.
Thinking about this, Yu Tianxi instantly decided to charge himself and swore to pull Jia Sidao off the horse.
The emperor cherishes his feathers. No matter how dissatisfied with him, he will at least leave some room for his former incense.
However, the key to success is actually the paper that his son said had seen the paper that he wrote cheating poems with his own eyes. When things got to this point, Yu Tianxi could only choose to believe that his son had indeed seen the paper.
When the civil and military officials of the palace saw Yu Tianxi coming up, they put pressure on Yang Yizhi's guilt of deceiving the king and widowing the emperor. Although they felt that Lao Yu was a little anxious, they were not concerned about his own affairs, but they all chose to watch coldly or wait for a better opportunity... to take action.
As for whoever takes action, it depends on who can really gain the upper hand.
"When you go back to Your Majesty, everything the students said is true. There is no one half of the poem on the paper."
Although Yang Yizhi complained secretly, he also understood that at this time, he could not say that he could not lie at all. He just wanted to lie that the paper was still under the inkstone and that what was written on it was clearly written on it. What could he use to lie?
At this time, more than ten eunuchs, under the command of Dong Songchen, directly demolished the seat in front of Jia Sidao for a long time and carried it to the center of the hall.
The ingredients on the table, wine, pen, ink, paper and ink, remain the same as before they move.
Zhao Yun didn't expect that Dong Songchen would just dismantle the table, and did not secretly put the paper up as he thought. He felt unhappy and glared at Dong Songchen fiercely.
If Dong Songchen took down the paper, if there were really cheating poems on the paper, then you could replace them with just delaying it for a while. In this way, Jia Sidao's embarrassing situation will naturally be solved.
This is also the reason why Zhao Yun asked Dong Songchen to take the paper. In addition, he seemed to the understanding Dong Songchen naturally knew what the best solution was at this time, but he did not expect that Dong Songchen directly carried the entire table to the center of the hall.
With so many eyes staring at the civil and military officials in the court and countless scholars, it is impossible to do anything.
Dong Songchen felt the cold eyes of Zhao Yun, and he felt quite helpless in his heart.
Zhao Yun was thinking clearly, but how could Yu Tianxi not have thought of doing this?
"Hmph, Qiao Qing, Zheng Qing."
"I'm here!"
"You two dear friends, go and see if there is any paper under the inkstone... with cheating poems." Zhao Yun glanced at His Highness, but clicked the left prime minister Qiao Xingjian and the special prime minister Zheng Qingzhi to check the inkstone.
Things are no longer possible, so just do it more fairly.
"I obey the order!"
Wu Qian and Zheng Qingzhi looked at each other and bowed to respond.
"Please, Mr. Qiao!"
"Please, Mr. Zheng!"
Two old ministers with the most powerful power in the Song Dynasty pushed him forward, but they walked forward with their hands and worked together to move the inkstone away.
The small inkstone that was moved away instantly gathered the eyes of everyone in the hall.
As they were moved away, everyone saw a piece of white paper appearing on the wooden table.
There is indeed paper!
There was a sudden commotion in the hall.
Yu Tianxi's expression was slightly relaxed.
Yu Ci was also a little nervous, but when he saw the paper still under the inkstone, he felt relieved and looked at Jia Sidao proudly, but he happened to meet Jia Sidao with a little ridiculous and pity.
For some reason, when he saw Jia Sidao's expression, especially his eyes, the anger in Yu Ci's heart surged uncontrollably. Is he mercy on himself? What qualifications does he have to mock and pity himself when death is coming?
No one noticed that Qiao Xingjian and Zheng Qingzhi, who actually saw the paper, were stunned at first, and then looked at Jia Sidao at the same time.
"Silence!" Dong Songchen shouted loudly with a smile on his face.
"Two beloved ministers, are the poems written by Shi Xian?" Zhao Yun was also a little curious.
"The banquet plans are nine tours, and the first tour is to write poems for the banquet. The other eight undefined poems are all possible, and there are two teas in between. Shi Xian was careful. When you go back to Your Majesty, this is what is written on the paper."
Qiao Xingjian and Zheng Qingzhi looked at each other, and finally Qiao Xingjian replied.
Hearing Qiao Xingjian's words, the entire hall was at first strangely quiet, and then before the ministers in the hall were upset, a hysterical voice suddenly roared!
