Chapter 402 Tongue Sword
Han Sheng failed to change Liu Yu's determination to enter the palace.
Seeing that Liu Yu could not stop the way to enter the palace, Su Yan had to change the blockage to the diversion. In order not to cause chaos in the court, he only discussed this matter with a few officials of the young and strong sects. After all, the young and strong sects were young and energetic. In their opinion, even if Liu Wenyan wanted to enter the palace to participate in the court discussion, it would not be a big deal.
When discussing the court, we should naturally focus on discussing matters. The big thing we should do depends on how big the matters we discuss. If we discuss the repair of the South City Gate tomorrow and then discuss the two-day annual leave for officials in the court, would Liu Wenyan still be able to break the sky from such a trivial matter?
Su Yan was very satisfied with the efforts of the young and strong sects, so he hurriedly wrote a few articles of content to discuss the court tomorrow, and sent it to the officials of the Six-Taiwan yamen overnight, so that the old ministers knew that since the Marquis of Wuyi, Liu Wenyan, was going to the palace to discuss matters, they could not discuss too much, otherwise Liu Wenyan would have to come and cause irreconcilable conflicts between the two sides. It would not be too sarcastic about the matters discussed, otherwise Liu Wenyan would feel that the court was set up for him, and it would not be good for the court to play a play to fool him.
Everything needs to be of a certain degree.
In order to make things go smoothly, Su Yan also gave a rehearsal with several young and strong officials. Represented by each young and strong sect, he turned into Liu Wenyan to raise questions for the new emperor and all officials in the court discussion. He had to grasp Liu Wenyan's arrogance and domineering attitude, and he wanted to make a difference in the court. Su Yan really regarded a rehearsal as the whole of the overall situation of the court. It was not until late at night that the rehearsal was over. The young and strong sect officials seemed to be performing a drama, exhausted, but fortunately the new emperor was very satisfied. He also rewarded them with some small gifts. After that, the new emperor returned to the inner court. Now the queen Sun Xiaoyu is pregnant. However, the emperor was also very busy at this time.
The three palaces and six courtyards have seventy-two concubines, and now Su Yan also has his own "big family".
The palace was ready, and officials from the Six-Taiwan yamen also had to do their homework overnight. This was the first court discussion that Liu Wenyan participated in after returning to Chang'an City. If the matter was not handled well, Liu Wenyan's power would emerge again in Chang'an City. The civil servants obviously did not want to be cowardly from military generals like Liu Wenyan. It was also a consensus that the civil servants could not be the country. Now Yuan Bolang lost power. They were headed by Lan He to fight with Liu Wenyan in the court and suppress Liu Wenyan's ambitions.
Su Bi was also preparing. Although she didn't know what Liu Wenyan would do the next day, she just wanted to use military and political affairs as a fuse, and it was likely to extend to the Turkic envoys coming to the court. If the Turkic envoys also came to Chang'an City, but because of the heavy snow in the past two days, the court had no time to meet them. Will Liu Wenyan force the court to form an alliance with the Turks? Or may there be any ill-gotten conspiracy in this matter?
All parties prepared for a night, and on the next day, they could clearly feel their spirits were depressed. The poor rest did not affect their preparations. They were ready to fight against Liu Wenyan in the court. When they saw Liu Wenyan wearing a Confucian uniform without official or rank appeared in Fengcui Palace, everyone was excited and thought about the principles of fierce debate with Liu Wenyan in his heart, so as not to have logical errors in their words.
The orator must also have preparation time.
But Liu Wenyan obviously did not give them such a chance.
Liu Yu came to the court for discussion, not to listen to repair ponds and city walls or raise salaries or pay wages. He had only one purpose, and to submit a memorial on the court for discussion. He held the memorial on his hand and entered Fengcui Palace. All the officials present felt that it was not good. Liu Wenyan was winning the initiative. As long as he submitted the memorial, he would discuss whatever he wanted to discuss today. Then the previous preparations would be in vain.
However, Su Bi and some interested officials, such as Lan He and some old officials, have also made preparations in this regard. As long as Liu Wenyan takes a move, they will have a way to deal with it.
But after learning what Liu Yu said, even Su Bi felt that Liu Yu was a little "unwilling".
It was said that Liu Wenyan was not here to find trouble, he must have come to find trouble, because what he reported was actually very simple, which was to apply for the emperor to revoke the decree issued yesterday and rediscuss whether to move Concubine Lin to the vanguard General's Mansion. Apart from this, Liu Wenyan did not mention any other matters.
The officials prepared for a long time, and when they learned that it was this matter, they were all worried. They had already discussed it in the court yesterday, and they still had to discuss it today? It seems a bit of a big deal to move such an inconsistency to the Sixth-Taiwan Yamen to discuss it. The court discussions are to solve major issues that cannot be solved by the Sixth-Taiwan Yamen.
"Marquis Wuyi." Lan He, as the representative of the civil servant, could only be the first to be the first to be a fucking bird. "There was a public opinion in the court yesterday, and the emperor also issued an imperial edict. What you reported today... is it a matter of questioning the emperor's imperial edict?"
Liu Yu looked very arrogant today, stood there and glanced at Lan He with a squint, and asked, "Who are you?"
A word of excitement was in an uproar. Liu Wenyan spoke so rudely to the Zuo Prime Minister! If you want to talk about Lan He's position as Zuo Prime Minister, it was promoted by Liu Wenyan. How could Liu Wenyan not even recognize Lan He?
This was clearly because Liu Wenyan made a powerful move against Lan He and punished Lan He as the left prime minister, and then joined the civil servants' power and made a clear relationship with Liu Wenyan.
Lan He said with a bad expression: "As the left minister, Lan He is also."
"Oh, Prime Minister Lan. I admire him for a long time, I admire him for a long time." Liu Wenyan smiled, as if he had just met Lan He for the first time. "According to Prime Minister Lan, as long as the emperor made a decision, he can't discuss it anymore, right?"
Lan He's face sank, but in fact he had no confidence: "Of course that's the case."
"Oh? Could it be that the emperor's decision was wrong, and the ministers could not overcorrect it?"
Liu Yuyu was not shocking and never stopped. When he went to court, he dared to openly say that "the emperor's decision was wrong" and that he had to "overcorrect it". Isn't that embarrassing the new emperor?
All the ministers looked at the emperor. Although the emperor's face was a little embarrassed at this time, he also seemed very respectful and said: "What the Marquis of Wuyi said is very true. If the decision I made is wrong, the ministers should also propose it. This should be the duty of all your beloved ministers."
The emperor said, meaning that this question can be raised again today.
However, the civil servants were still very unwilling to accept it. One of the voices came from the crowd: "Why don't you take such a small matter to Liutaiya to discuss it? You have to discuss it in the court?"
Liu Yu glanced at him and didn't know who said it. This is a typical turtle that wants to come forward but doesn't have the courage to do so.
Liu Yu sighed helplessly: "If you can handle this matter, why do you need me to go to the court to report to the emperor in person? Just look at your six yamen, and see how capable you have, what can't be solved... 167 people used to build the city wall, three of them asked for leave, and five of them absent from work, and asked the emperor to dial the wages of these eight people from the budget. The ability of your six yamen is really getting higher and higher, and you can't accept it!"
Any ministers from the Six-Taiwan Yamen and the Six-Ministry felt that they were blind.
In fact, the example Liu Yu mentioned was just the example that the new emperor selected from many cases to discuss the court today to fool Liu Wenyan. Unexpectedly, Liu Wenyan would use this matter to mock the court for its ineffective work.
