Chapter 1348 Gats, Duke of Wei (Big Update)

Behind the curtains of the Funing Palace Warm Pavilion.

Sandalwood is like silk, slowly cruising among the claustrophoto curtains, and the candlelight is deliberately suppressed very low.

Half of Empress Dowager Gao's face was hidden in the darkness, and only the string of Ganan wood beads at her fingertips reflected a little cold light.

The new king has been supported, and Cai Que and other prime ministers are still discussing the affairs of the official family, but Zhang Yue and Empress Dowager Gao are already strangling each other for the power in their hands.

Empress Dowager Gao did not take on Zhang Yue’s topic, but said: “The Emperor Daxing relied on you as a minister and had the responsibility to entrust your orphans to take care of your life. Now you say that the prince takes power at the age of fourteen, is it a good idea?”

Facing the majesty of Empress Dowager Gao, Zhang Yue looked down and avoided his sharp edge, and said with a respectful tone but with a clever tone: "I dare not make arbitrary decisions. However, the Emperor Daxing hoped the prince with "Yao and Shun" at his death, which shows his talent and wisdom."

"If the Empress Dowager was given the training and the two governments were assisted, they would be able to inherit the great throne in time."

"As for me, I'm just trying to encourage me to be exhausted, if the master is right."

Empress Dowager Gao clenched the rosary slightly in her hand, wiped her tears from the corner of her eyes and said, "A woman who is an old woman knows how to govern the country and ensure national security? However, the elders of the Qing family have to be entrusted by the late emperor to entrust her orphans. The court still needs to rely on the Qing family."

"The Empress Dowager's clarification." Zhang Yue whispered: "The Emperor Daxing entrusted not only to the minister, but to Cai, Lv, Sima, and colleagues from the Shufu."

"During the Renzong Dynasty, the eight kings wanted to claim to be 'Duke Zhou assisted King', but they were finally checked and balanced. I am willing to follow this example - all state affairs are requested to be issued by the Empress Dowager, and the two governments will conduct their conspiracy."

Empress Dowager Gao thought to himself that Zhang Yue's words were both self-destructive and brought Cai Que, Lu Gongzhu, Sima Guang and others out to check and balance themselves.

The eight kings Zhang Yue said were Zhao Yuanyan, the younger brother of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, and the eighth son of Emperor Taizong. When Emperor Zhenzong was seriously ill, Zhao Yuanyan stayed in the palace on the pretext of being absent from the prime minister Li Di.

Later, Renzong ascended the throne and gave Zhao Yuanyan the treatment of not being named, the edict was not named, the swords and shoes were brought to the palace, and the court was not advancing.

Zhao Yuanyan knew that because of his high reputation, he was taboo by Queen Zhang Xian, so he stayed in the door and pretended to be crazy.

However, after Empress Zhang Xian died of illness, it was the other party who personally told Emperor Renzong that your biological mother had the truth about someone else.

Emperor Renzong's favor for Empress Dowager Zhang Xian almost collapsed.

The Eight Great Kings Zhao Yuanyan was so powerful that he was finally suppressed by Empress Dowager Zhang Xian until he acted madly behind closed doors. Now that she insisted on taking power, Zhang Yue might not have become the next Zhao Yuanyan, or even... even more dangerous.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly calmed down and said sarcastically: "Emperor Renzong served the King of Yan back then, and he performed the courtesy of his sons and nephews. The King of Yan was quite self-respecting and called Emperor Renzong in his family. Although he was only in the forbidden area, the King of Yan still took it like this, and Emperor Renzong did not dare to say it."

Empress Dowager Gao remembered the majestic and serious Zhao Yuanyan who was raised in the palace by Emperor Renzong. At that time, the palace people said that even the Khitans were afraid.

Speaking of this, she looked directly at Zhang Yue: "The Qing family thinks... King Yan is a smart person?"

Zhang Yue said calmly: "The King of Yan respects himself before he can have a good end. However, I think..."

Zhang Yue raised his head and said, "Smart people should know that there are some ways... they can't walk."

Empress Dowager Gao said: "I also agree with it. The prince was too early to take power at the age of fourteen, so how about it than at the age of fifteen?"

Zhang Yue smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to himself: "I don't dare. The Empress Dowager can know about this matter, and there is no need to write it into the will."

Empress Dowager Gao praised Zhang Yuedasheng after hearing this.

After a pause, Empress Dowager Gao nodded and said, "I wonder why you think someone has come out to be the envoy of the mountain tomb?"

The system of mountain tomb envoy originated in the Tang Dynasty. It turned out that when Li Yuan died of illness, Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian were appointed as mountain tomb envoys. This was grace.

When Emperor Daizong of Tang ascended the throne, he used the command of the Shanling Envoy to relieve the errands of the right servant Pei Mian and Guo Ziyi without any blood.

In the Song Dynasty, the system of prime minister being appointed as a mountain tomb envoy was not seriously implemented. It was restored by the time of Emperor Zhenzong and Ding Wei was appointed as a mountain tomb envoy. By the time of Emperor Yingzong of Renzong, Han Qi was appointed as a mountain tomb envoy twice.

After Han Qi was appointed as the Shanling Envoy for the second time, he was impeached by Wang Tao.

The meaning of Empress Dowager Gao was to kill Cai Que while Cai Que was appointed as the Shanling Envoy.

This is a trick to kill people by lending a knife.

If you want to get ahead, your hands must be stained with blood. Otherwise, why should I believe you?

However, what Zhang Yue admired was not Empress Dowager Gao, but Cai Que... From the time the official family had entrusted the orphan at the end of his life, to only half an hour, he predicted Empress Dowager Gao's actions and showed goodwill to him.

Senior brother is worthy of being a senior brother, and he is always one step ahead of others.

The bronze bird's lampstand was filled with half-melted wax tears.

Zhang Yue said calmly: "Follow the story, the left prime minister Cai Chizheng should take over. According to the ancestors' stories, the matter will be told to leave the emperor."

Empress Dowager Gao gently twisted the rosary beads at her fingertips and said slowly: "After the Yongzhao Mausoleum was covered with soil, Duke Wei of Han had never given up on his face because he had been sick in Ying Temple. After the Yonghong Mausoleum was covered with soil, he achieved a good story of saying glory. You should understand the profound meaning."

In fact, the prime minister was appointed as the commander of the mountain tomb, and it depends on the emperor's wishes. Han Qi did not resign during the reign of Emperor Yingzong because the throne of Yingzong was unstable. When he was in the reign of Emperor Shenzong, he felt that Han Qi had hidden dangers, so he took Han Qi away through the imperial teacher Wang Tao.

Of course, Wang Tao thought he could replace Han Qi, and he was so awesome that he didn't take anyone seriously. As a result... when he came to Beijing last time, he had to look at Zhang Yue's expression.

However, when the other party died of illness in the third year of Yuanfeng, Zhang Yue did not give the other party a bad impression and gave him a decent treatment.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yue solemnly said: "The Empress Dowager is aware of it. If there are ministers who do not understand the current affairs, the court will have ministers who follow Wang Tao."

Upon hearing this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in the phoenix's eyes.

"Your family is thoroughly thoughtful." Empress Dowager Gao nodded slightly, "Since that's the case, I will follow what you have reported."

During the reign of Cai Que as the Shanling Envoy, Zhang Yue ordered Cai Que to abdicate and replaced the left prime minister whenever he ordered him to abdicate.

After the treatment was negotiated, Zhang Yue was not relaxed.

A gentleman only plans for his actions but not his position.

Zhang Yue cleansed his clothes and bowed his hands solemnly: "Empress Dowager, although I dare not compare with Sima Gong's politeness, I have a slight view of the classics and history. Sima Gong Ning resigned from his post as deputy, and was willing to live in Luoyang for fifteen years to write a book. I really admire this kind of character. However, I think that the key to governing a country lies in adapting changes."

Empress Dowager Gao gently twisted the rosary with her fingertips, and raised her phoenix eyes slightly: "Zhang Qing just said it's okay."

"I look at the rise and fall of history," Zhang Yue's voice was as quiet as a deep pool. "The system evolved like a river flowing, mostly downstream, and few went backwards. Although Jiayou's governance was called peace, the times changed, and the world was changed, and the method was difficult to continue. It was like walking, only by breaking through thorns and building bridges and rivers can we open up new ways. If we encounter a wrong road, we will think about returning, and it will eventually be difficult to achieve far."

The rosary in Empress Dowager Gao's hand suddenly stopped. As soon as Zhang Yue said this, she was moved. Zhang Maoze on the side also knew that Zhang Yue could speak at this critical moment, and only Zhang Yue could impress Empress Dowager Gao.

Empress Dowager Gao asked, "Is this what you said in your family to remember the will of the Emperor Daxing?"

Zhang Yue bowed his head and bowed again: "I beg the Empress Dowager to think of the will of the official family. One is to pacify the Western Xia and recover Yanyun, and the other is to continue the new law. These two are actually long-term plans for the country."

"The saying of the old and new roads" "The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, and the rosary turned lightly in her palm. "You said that you should move forward bravely in the new road, but the old man thought that if you saw something wrong, it would be wisdom to turn back in time. The law of exemption from service can be temporarily suspended, and the rest of the new laws will be discussed by the master."

Zhang Yue's eyes swept over the tight and loose rosary in the empress dowager's hand, and knew that this was the biggest concession, so he responded solemnly: "I am obeying my decree."

...

After Zhang Yue stepped out, he met Cai Que, who was guarding the palace entrance.

Cai Que glanced at Zhang Yue and turned away. Zhang Yue understood that the other party had guessed the conversation he had just had with Empress Dowager Gao.

Cai Que walked to Zhang Yue and said as if nothing had happened: "Following Emperor Daxing, he would like to express his grief to the people of Liao according to the rules."

"If Liao Kingdom knew about this... this matter would probably take advantage of the unstable situation in our court and take the opportunity to blackmail it."

Zhang Yue said: "Just is just a worry. Liao Kingdom is taking advantage of our country's mourning to raise troops?"

Cai Que nodded: "The Liao people have been holding back before and have not sent troops to the Fourth Hebei Routes. This time, if we threaten us to not be able to wait for Hedong in the name of asking for annual tribute, but out of Hebei, we may be drinking horses and Yellow River."

The two talked slowly. Zhang Yue remembered that in another time and space history, the official family died of illness in March. Wang Gui was appointed as the Shanmaster Envoy. As a result, Wang Gui died of illness in May, and Cai Que succeeded as the Shanmaster Envoy. However, after Cai Que was appointed as the Shanmaster Envoy, he had no intention of resigning from the prime minister.

Therefore, the censors impeached Cai Que using the excuse of the Shanling Mausoleum and ordered him to step down. They also pointed out that the prime minister must resign after the Shanling Mausoleum was overthrown. Cai Que was nostalgic for the power position and ignored the old system. In the end, Cai Que was dismissed from the prime minister in the first year of Yuanyou.

Will Cai Dee follow the story in this time and space, and take the initiative to resign after serving in Shanling?

Zhang Yue said: "Sending troops during the country's mourning is a traitor, and the Liao people would not be so unwise. The court was elected an eloquent and intelligent man to express his grief to the Liao Kingdom. He first politely and then the army, and if he could not reach an agreement, he would fight."

Cai Que nodded and asked, "Why should this be the case, who do you think the envoy is?"

Zhang Yue said, "This is the affairs of the prime minister."

Cai Que understood it.

Cai Que looked at King Yong and King Cao not far away and said to Zhang Yue: "The Empress Dowager and Emperor Daxing are mother and son. They have acted like this in the past six months, and they have a grudge against each other."

Zhang Yue glanced at King Yong and King Cao, and withdrew his eyes and said, "I'm justified and worried."

...

At the beginning, the prime ministers gathered together to discuss the will to modify it, and King Yong and King Cao retreated.

Zhang Yue also said that he was not a working prime minister and was inconvenient to hear it and retreated aside. However, as the spokesperson of Empress Dowager Gao, Zhang Maoze completely participated in the prime minister's discussion.

The will was read out in a hurry, but only allowed the prince to ascend the throne to the new emperor. At that time, he was very hasty and rushed to let the second king and the third yamen generals lead the way to recognize the new king.

But there is another version that is to be told to the world, and it must be a complete version, which will be read in front of all officials tomorrow, and many of the details have not been studied yet.

The Hanlin scholar once launched the Huang Ling edict and said in a deep voice: "My dear masters, there are still several places to be agreed upon by the edicts of the world tomorrow."

The candle shadow shook red, and the ministers sat in separate seats. Zhang Maoze stood on the side of the screen with his whisk in his hand, his eyes wandering between Cai Que and Sima Guang.

First of all, Empress Dowager Gao was the Empress Dowager, and no one had any objections to the Empress Dowager.

But Cai Que said, "Now Concubine De Zhu gave birth to a sacred heir, but there is no respect for him in the system. Concubine Zhu should be added!"

Everyone knows that Empress Dowager Gao hates Concubine Zhu very much, and the ministers all agree not to write it in.

Han Zhen said: "But this dynasty talks about the difference between legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegiti

Zhang Dun said: "When Emperor Xianzong of Tang ascended the throne, his mother, Empress Dowager Guo and his biological mother, Zheng, were both respected as the Empress Dowager."

Sima Guangdao: "King Pu Anyi was still called the Emperor's Catalogue, so how can I talk about the Empress Dowager?"

Sima Guang's statement also makes sense. During the Puyi period, Yingzong's biological father was still called Huangkao, and later he was called "Emperor" instead of emperor. The Tang and Song dynasties each had their own systems, and the difference between legitimate and illegitimate Song dynasties was even stricter.

Of course, the purpose of fighting for the emperor's biological mother, Concubine Zhu, is the same as the purpose of Yingzong's victory for his father.
