Chapter 31 The first proposal to establish a crown prince, Wang Gui lost points (please read, monthly vote(2/3)
Wang Gui originally thought that since the official family wanted to establish a heir apparent, he would naturally have to entrust him with an orphan.
Minister Tuogu, besides him, the left prime minister, who else could there be?
But Wang Gui was waiting at home, but he did not wait until the officials recruited him to the palace and gave him the important task of entrusting Gu Gu to his fate!
Not only that, Wang Gui soon heard a piece of news that deeply disturbed him.
A piece of news I heard from Zhang Hong, the Vice Minister of Zhongshu.
It turns out that as early as the autumn of the sixth year of Yuanfeng, when Cai Que and Zhang Hong entered the Chongzheng Hall to perform affairs, the officials had already entrusted Cai Que with their orders.
The officials bypassed the left prime minister and went to the right prime minister to take care of his fate.
What kind of distrust is this?
It is also an insult to Wang Gui!
When Wang Gui heard Zhang Hong narrating the incident in front of him with high spirits and excitement, his heart felt like a bolt from the blue, but he did not dare to show it at all.
For fear of it, Zhang Hong knew that he, the leftist prime minister, had never received the emperor's order from the beginning to the end, and was entrusted with three feet of loneliness.
I could only smile and nod while enduring the humiliation and resentment in my heart.
This is Wang Gui's motive and the reason why he is even more frightened now.
Right Prime Minister Cai Que has been entrusted with the task of entrusting an orphan, which means that once the new emperor takes the throne, he, the left prime minister, will have to pack up and get out - although this has always been true in the system: when the emperor dies, the prime minister must be the envoy to the mountain.
When the Shanling envoy returns to the court, he must invite the county!
This was to prevent the powerful ministers from arrogating the emperor and avoid the recurrence of Yang Jian's story in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, Han Qi, the Prime Minister of Zhiping, became the envoy of Shanling after the death of Yingmiao, and then invited himself to go out.
However, the status of a prime minister who has Tuogu Gu Gu's fate and a prime minister who does not have Tuo Gu Gu's fate are two different things in history books and in reality.
Moreover, once people know about it, outsiders will ask: Why didn't Wang Yuyu get entrusted by the late emperor to take care of his life?
As long as others think about it, Wang Gui knows that he will face endless troubles.
Everything he has ever done will be dug out, put under the sun, carefully scrutinized, and screened bit by bit.
Even if you do something wrong, you will be found out and criticized!
Wang Gui was thinking about these things in his heart, pretending to be nonchalant, walked to the left side of the hall, sat down, and said to Cai Que: "Your assistant is here early!"
Cai Que smiled and said nothing.
An Tao, who knew the Privy Council at the same time, saw the two prime ministers seeming to be fighting in secret. He laughed in his heart and came out to calm the atmosphere and said: "Two ministers, have you heard that the Yushitai is impeaching the internal minister Li Xian?
"
Suddenly, smiles appeared in the entire capital hall.
Although, Li Xian was a meritorious commander of Xining and Yuanfeng.
But he is a minister, a member of the eunuch!
Every civil servant naturally welcomes and is willing to see a minister suffer misfortune.
This point does not matter whether it is a new party or an old party.
Besides, how many years has Li Xian occupied the carrot pit in Xining?
Counting from Wang Shao's time, it has been at least ten years.
He served as the commander-in-chief of a single minister and commanded an army of nearly one hundred thousand, and he was a brave and capable army.
What makes people's scalp tingling even more is that there are many foreign troops and generals in these armies!
Internal ministers, generals, soldiers, brave and good at fighting...
Anyone who has read history books will immediately and subconsciously think of the soldiers of Beiya in the Tang Dynasty!
Those commanders of the Shence Army, those eunuchs and generals who killed civil servants like chickens during the Ganlu Temple Incident, those rebellious ministers who deposed the emperor and ignored the laws of the country!
Therefore, even if Li Xianyuan is in Xihe, he cannot be tolerated in this court!
In the past, Li Xian had official support, but the officials could do nothing.
Now, when you get the opportunity, why don't you just take it with your hands?
Wang Gui saw that all the governors in the capital hall were overjoyed that Li Xian was impeached.
He also let go of his heavy heart!
"Sure enough, it is best to deal with the internal ministers!" Wang Gui said in his heart.
That Li Xian was already a dead man in Wang Gui's eyes.
The prime minister cannot tolerate him!
I’m afraid the Queen Mother won’t be able to tolerate him either!
The world's scholar-bureaucrats cannot tolerate him!
If Li Xian is removed, Xihe Road can be put in charge of a civil servant and senior official.
Wang Gui looked at the Prime Minister present.
He calculated in his mind that he knew that some of the people present must be tempted to want to pick peaches on Xihe Road.
A peach that has been cultivated by Li Xian for more than ten years and is already ripe and full of juice and honey!
I think back then, Han Jiang and Han Zihua, for the sake of border service, used the dignity of prime minister to visit the border in person to smooth things over with Zhongshu's disciples. The bachelor of Zhaowenguan also served as the Shaanxi economic strategy appeasement envoy, hoping to seize Hengshan, and then bring the monstrous power with him.
Returned to the DPRK and became Prime Minister!
However, due to the Gyeongju mutiny and the domineering military officials who did not obey restraint, the success fell short.
However, becoming a general and becoming a prime minister is always the highest pursuit of a scholar-bureaucrat!
Wang Gui believed that among the officials sitting here, there must be someone who is interested, and someone must be planning the location of Xihelanhui Road.
And this is an opportunity for him, Wang Gui, to trade.
Therefore, Wang Gui sat quietly and listened to the various discussions and verbal criticisms about Li Xian's affairs by his colleagues present, with a smile on his face from time to time.
The more fiercely the courtiers attack Li Xian, the safer Wang Gui will naturally be.
Wang Gui was feeling proud when suddenly, a cold voice broke his inner peace and plunged him into panic.
"My lords, now that I am seriously ill and it seems that I am getting worse every day... shouldn't we make some preparations?"
Wang Gui looked at the person who spoke in astonishment.
Shangshu Youcheng, Zhongshu Minister Li Qingchen and Li Bangzhi!
Li Qingchen didn't seem to feel Wang Gui's eyes at all. He stood up and bowed to everyone: "For example, the story of Yi Zhiping?"
The story of Zhiping is what Han Qi Wenyanbo did.
The ministers stayed in the palace and were on duty to guard the emperor.
Then he petitioned for the appointment of a crown prince, and summoned Hanlin scholars to go to the imperial court to establish the crown prince and compose lyrics.
Then the ministers of the three provinces and two prefectures signed and stamped their signatures in turn, presented them to the emperor, gave the emperor's approval, and invited the queen mother and empress to come out to witness. Finally, the ministers went to invite the prince of Yan'an County to accept the worship and congratulations of the ministers.
This...how is this possible?
Wang Gui panicked for a moment and accidentally dropped the tea cup in his hand to the ground.
Snapped!
A crisp sound spread in the hall.
Everyone looked at Wang Gui.
Wang Gui could only hide it with a fake smile: "I am old...I am old!"
Li Qingchen seemed to have discovered something. He looked at Wang Gui, bowed his hands and asked, "What do you think Zuo Kui said?"
For Li Qingchen, now that he has said that.
Naturally, he will not change his words, and he will defend to the death his identity as the person who "initiated the establishment of a prince."
Wang Gui was also a little panicked. Although he concealed it well, when faced with Li Qingchen's questioning, his mind did not turn around immediately. In panic, he panicked and blurted out: "This is a matter for the heavenly family, why should the foreign court interfere?"
?”
Suddenly, pairs of eyes looked at Wang Gui like wolves and tigers, as if they wanted to eat Wang Gui alive!
Especially Cai Que, who stood up immediately.
Then everyone stood up.
The ministers in the court may have different political views or different positions.
But at this moment, everyone knows that there cannot be any flaws in this matter.
At the back of the imperial hall, there is Cai Bian, the master of the living room, who is from Zhongshushe!
They recorded every word spoken by everyone here word for word, and then sent it to the National History Museum for archiving.
When Wang Gui saw this, he was also frightened. He stood up quickly and said to everyone: "You guys have misunderstood me!"
To be continued...
