Chapter Twelve Why?
Pei Min really couldn't, so he could only agree to He Zhizhang and retreated to advance.
He knew his old brother so well. If he really wanted to persevere with him, he would be afraid that there would be a possibility of forcing him to death.
He Zhizhang thought about the matter so thoroughly that it was impossible to get a little out of him.
This was the first time Pei Min walked out of the He Mansion in a lost state.
For him, Chang'an He Mansion is like his own family, where there is a brother who is open-minded, funny, straightforward and knowledgeable.
Drinking with him here and talking about everything is a happy life.
Today...
After leaving He's Mansion, Pei Min returned to Pei's Mansion without stopping and called Sun Zhou.
"Immediately investigate all the situations of the Ministry of Rites, especially about He Zhizhang. I want to know what happened to Brother He recently and what he is doing?"
Compared to Li Linfu, Sun Zhou is obviously Pei Min can trust.
Pei Min would keep a hand in Li Linfu, but there was no need to do this to Sun Zhou. He told him what happened today truthfully.
Sun Zhou was obviously a little at a loss and shouted in a low voice: "Is He Shangshu going to make a desperate advice?"
He Zhizhang is now the Minister of Rites, and because of Pei Min, no one is enemies of him.
Although He Zhizhang himself has no ability to govern the country, he is a great sage in the world. He is a peerless figure who is known as "the romantic storytelling" and is a unique classic and historical article in the world. He pioneered the majestic and passionate style of frontier poetry, established the bright and upward mood of describing scenery and farewell poems, opened the precedent for palace resentment poems, cultivated a natural beauty style of elegant and refined style, and broke through the inherent paradigm of poetry chanting objects.
Not only in the temple, but also in the Shilin City.
If He Zhizhang's advice was a death sentence, he would be afraid that he would have a hole in the sky.
"No, the matter has not yet taken that step!"
Pei Min shook his head and said, "If you don't understand my old brother, he is not the kind of civil servant who is dedicated to the career of the government, nor is he a sage who is compassionate to the world. For him, everything goes with the flow. It is a very real and real person. Even if he is demoted at this moment, he will not be angry. He is drinking and writing poems and enjoying life. In my understanding, the most casual and happy person is my brother Zhang Xu, and the second is brother He. If his status is the prime minister at this moment, there is a possibility of death. After all, Your Majesty's recent behavior is indeed not worth talking about."
"But he is just the Minister of Rites, and he is not in his position or in his own affairs. Only when something special happens to the Ministry of Rites and within his power can he be so persistent."
If a person wants to be free and happy, he can only be truly happy after fulfilling his responsibilities.
Escape from reality, wasting your years, and wasting your time is not a casual and deceiving yourself.
He Zhizhang called himself Siming Kuangke, Siming is ahead, and Kuangke is behind, which is not without reason.
When Sun Zhou heard this, he was relieved and went down to do it immediately.
Pei Min looked at the night outside the window and thought about this emergency.
He Zhizhang was so cautious that he revealed some situations.
This matter is nothing unexpected. It is related to Li Longji, Yang Fei, Wang Hui, and Li Yuanhong, the most important people in the Tang Dynasty. Only when it comes to them can He Zhizhang be the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Rites to show his ambitions...
No, Li Yuanhong still needs to be removed.
Li Yuanhong was the prime minister of the current dynasty and had a high status, but Li Yuanhong was not Li Longji's close minister.
If there is really a mistake, Li Longji will not shelter Li Yuanhong.
Moreover, Li Yuanhong is not a ruthless official, and Pei Min dislikes him just because of his political views and differences.
Even if Li Yuanhong has done so, it will be a loss for his personal morality. He Zhizhang should not be needed to show his ambitions by dying, which is so serious.
In the final analysis, the problem should be Li Longji, Yang Jieyu and Wang Hui.
Li Longji's rationality is still there, and it should not be the source of the problem. Yang Jieyu and Wang Ying are the key.
"Concubine Yang Jie, Wang Hui!"
As Pei Min recited these two names, he felt that his murderous aura was getting heavier and heavier.
He patted his cheek hard, thinking about what would happen between He Zhizhang and Yang Jieyu and Wang Hui.
Wang Hui is currently the popular hot chicken in the court. He holds twelve important positions alone, is in charge of the economy of the Tang Dynasty, and has no less power than the prime minister.
However, the Ministry of Rites is a very special department in the temple.
The Ministry of Rites is in charge of etiquette, sacrifices, and tributes. Its main task is to manage school affairs across the country, imperial examinations, exchanges between vassals and foreign countries, as well as all etiquette issues. As for important decisions on state affairs, they will not participate in them.
Therefore, the people in power in the Ministry of Rites do not need to have much ability to govern the country, as long as they have enough fame, understand etiquette and law, and understand all the rules of the constitution.
Most of the people who have always been in charge of the Ministry of Rites are old scholars, and He Zhizhang is one of them.
There is no conflict between the administrative powers controlled by Wang Hui and the etiquette and law controlled by He Zhizhang.
Pei Min thought about it for a long time but couldn't imagine what conflict could have between Wang Hui and He Zhizhang.
As for Concubine Yang?
Pei Min suddenly realized that Yang Jieyu's existence had a deep connection with the Ministry of Rites.
As the woman who appears most by Li Longji, all the actions of Yang Jieyu are inseparable from the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites.
First of all, the relationship between Emperor Li Longji and Empress Wang was almost at the point of never interacting with each other with the death of Wu Jieyu.
In addition to major things, such as worshiping heaven and ancestors, Queen Wang needs to be by his side, so Queen Wang does not exist.
As a descendant of the country, he was originally a mother who was in charge of the world, but he was like being sent to the cold palace, which was inconsistent with etiquette and law.
If it were the Zhenguan Dynasty, if Li Shimin dared to do this, Wei Zheng's saliva would have drowned Li Shimin.
However, so many years have passed, and He Zhizhang has not cared about it, so he will not be able to use it at this time.
However, Yang Jieyu followed Li Longji to many occasions. Not to mention the four concubines, the two queens were far inferior to each other. This is also inconsistent.
Moreover, it has only been less than a year since Concubine Yang entered the palace and has been promoted to Concubine Jie.
The mechanism of the Tang Dynasty's harem: the queen is the best, and the mother is in the world. The second is the four concubines, the noble concubine is the supreme, the three concubines Shufei, Defei, and Xian concubine are the descendants, and they are regarded as the four concubines, the first rank. The second is the nine concubines, Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongyuan, Chongyuan, and the second rank. Next is the turn of Jieyu, the third rank.
Concubine Yang remarried and was promoted to Concubine in a short time, which was a great favor.
But this is not enough to let He Zhizhang show his ambitions by his death, right?
Brother He in his memory is really not such a pedantic character.
unless……
Pei Min suddenly thought of a possibility that Concubine Yang was dissatisfied with his Concubine Jie and wanted to climb up.
Ranked among the Nine Concubines, or the Four Concubines...
If this is true, the Ministry of Rites should not agree.
But even if he objected, he would not have caused such a serious confrontation with He Zhizhang.
“What’s the reason?”
Pei Min felt that he was a little close to the promise, and Concubine Yang was probably the key, but he just couldn't tell He Zhizhang what he knew and needed to defend it with his life.
