12. Change the soup but not the medicine
Now Shengpingfang Cui Mansion is mixed with joy and sorrow.
What was happy was that Gao Yue was appreciated by all the deacons of the court and suddenly became the eighth-rank supervisor; what was worried was that the new emperor wanted to summon Cui Ning to the court to govern the funeral and tomb of Emperor Daxing. If he could not go back to Xichuan, the foundation of the entire Weizhou Cui family would be lost.
After nightfall, Cui Kuan, Gao Yue and his children sat in the middle hall to discuss the matter urgently.
"My elder brother has lived in Xichuan for more than ten years and has never slacked off in defending the vassal screen for the country. Now His Majesty asks me to stay in Taiwan in Dongdu, and then asks me to return to the court to be a mountain mausoleum envoy. This is to seize the position of the elder brother's commander!" Cui Kuan was worried.
At this time, Gao Yue bowed to the queen and offered advice: "My father-in-law also came to the palace to meet him ten years ago. At that time, you were the Yin of Shu and the Queen of Jiedu. Although Yang Zilin in Luzhou was in chaos, Xichuan was as safe as a mountain. At this moment, you can ask my father-in-law to ask my uncle to be the Yin of Shu again and then enter the court again."
Of course, Gao Yue knew that if his father-in-law really abandoned Xichuan and entered the court, he would really not be able to go back. His basic position is now with his father-in-law, so for the common prosperity of the Cui family in Weizhou, we must advance and retreat together.
Cui Kuan also agreed with this.
Soon, the request from the Xichuan Jinzouyuan was presented to the emperor, saying that Xiban had invaded for many years, and that Xichuan must be guarded by Cui Ning. If Cui Ning entered the court to hold the funeral of the Daxing Emperor, Xiban came to invade, which was a situation where there were no generals in Shu. If Cui Ning was determined to enter the court, he could change Cui Kuan to the imperial capital of Shu and serve as the queen of the reign.
Li Shi was very annoyed: "Cui Ning entered the court as the envoy of the mountain tombs, and he also wanted Cui Kuan to be the governor of Shu. Is this Xichuan owned by the state?"
The emperor had reason to be angry. Hedong Jieduan Bao Fang was dismissed and returned to Beijing after his defeat. Heyang Sancheng Jieduan Ma Sui was ordered to go to Taiyuan to replace Bao Fang in a mess. Why didn’t he make any trouble?
At this time, Prime Minister Cui Youfu advised: "What Cui Ning said is reasonable. The Jiannan army has been following Cui Ning for more than ten years, with a dangerous place and a strong army, and it is difficult to control it. He only has the commander of the Jie and no court in his eyes. Your Majesty might as well be Xu Kuan as the governor of Shu to exchange for Ning to enter the court. If Xifan comes to invade, it is not too late to let Ning return to the town; if Xifan does not invade, he can change to a civil servant to seize power slowly. Since then, Xichuan has taxes to enter the court. The military funds rely on the country instead of the general Jie and general Jie and the army will not be difficult to submit. In addition, Your Majesty should first pay attention to the matter of the Shence Army."
In desperation, Li Shi could only reluctantly agree to Cui Youfu's plan, but he still felt a little unfair: Cui Youfu is still too few prime ministers, and I urgently need more powerful talents as a helping hand to solve the situation of separatist rule in the town one by one.
So I sincerely asked Cui Youfu, I immediately wanted to promote you from the Minister of the Secretariat to the Minister of the Secretariat, and then choose a talented person to pick up the Minister of the Secretariat. In your opinion, who is the most suitable?
Cui Youfu first asked, "Who does Your Majesty want to choose as the Censor?"
"This person has been recommended by the Yousanqi Changshi." The Right Saint of the Yousanqi Changshi mentioned was Zhang She who was recently promoted like a rocket (Xiao Xin was the Zuosanqi Changshi, and returned to the village).
So Cui Youfu stopped asking questions, but directly proposed to the emperor as the candidate of the minister.
This candidate has accumulated a lot in his heart, "Your Majesty, Daozhou Sima Xiaoyangshan is capable in humans and can bear great responsibilities."
This candidate happened to be exactly the same as Li Shi's intentions. The author of "The Story of the Shinto of General Yunhui Li Fujun" hanging on the wall was from Xiao Yangshan, Yang Yan and Yang Gongnan.
Because Li Shi had heard it before, Yuan Zai had instructed Yang Yan to "he must keep the position of crown prince", so in Li Shi's heart, Yang Yan was also his own person.
Soon, the emperor issued a document, and while agreeing to Xichuan's request, Cui Kuan changed his way to the imperial capital of Shu and urged Cui Ning to enter the court; Cui Youfu was also changed to the Secretariat of the Secretariat, and sent an imperial envoy to Xuandaozhou Sima Yang Yan to return to Beijing and became the Secretariat of the Sect.
A few days later, in the imperial censorate, when he was having lunch at noon, the Central Chief Dou Shen, who was sitting on the couch, looked as if he was blue. Gao Yue clearly saw that his chopsticks were trembling slightly, and his lips were swaying uneasy when eating. This was simply incredible on Dou Shen. Gao Yue had always suspected that Dou Shen could hold moths and flies when he held up chopsticks.
Apart from the subtle chewing sounds and sip soup, there was no other sound in the entire cafeteria, but Gao Yue and other censors understood in their hearts:
The incident of Dou Shen's attempt to be promoted to censor is ruined.
After listening to the advice of Zhang She, the general servant of the Right Sanqi, he actually transferred Qiao Lin, the governor of Huaizhou, and placed him as the chief censor. Pingzhangshi was also equivalent to the prime minister.
"What is Qiao Lin?" Dou Shen was full of shock and anger. He only knew that this person had also served as the censor, and later he was demoted to the point of impeachment with his colleagues. He had been circulating around the local area over the years. Why did he let him take charge of the censorship? The emperor was really a joke.
What's even more bizarre is that at the same time, the emperor transferred Lu Qi, the governor of Guozhou, and placed him as the chief censor. He said to Dou Shen: "There is now a doctor in Xiantai, and two members of the Central Chief Censor, who are in charge of the Imperial City and the Central Chief Court of the East Nei (Da Ming Palace). Cui Kuan immediately went to serve as the chief minister of Shu. The Dongdu was still short of the famous Censor. Dou Qing told me before that he hoped to stay in Taiwan to serve in his post. I will satisfy Dou Qing's wish."
Thinking of this, Dou Shen's hand, holding the spoon, was so angry that he shook his anger. The soup that was sent to his mouth dripped down, so that the official uniform was wet.
When the censors of the Third Court, who were sitting in two rows, saw this scene, they stared at each other with big eyes and didn't dare to say anything, so they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Zhongcheng again.
After the meal was finished, Dou Shen asked the chief clerk on the opposite bed as usual, "Will the censor be rude to eat just now?"
"Only the Zhongcheng poured the soup when he drank the soup." The chief clerk held the yellow paper book and replied with his pen...
Gao Yue and Lu Zhi almost couldn't hold back their laughter.
After the Censorate was finished, when Gao Yue returned to the Cui Mansion in Pingfang, he found that the servants and maids in the entire courtyard were busy. His uncle and father-in-law were going to go to Shudu, while his father-in-law was coming here from Shudu.
"Brother-in-law." Gao Yue walked in the hand-paper porch leading to the wing where he lived. Yunhe walked out in a light green gauze shirt and called him softly.
"Yunhe?"
"I just talked to my sister in the room. I went to Shudu for thousands of miles. I don't know when I will reunite. The post station is long. I heard that my sister said that my brother-in-law's second editing has been completed. Can I give it to Yunhe to relieve the boredom along the way?"
"How do you know that I am Shaoling Xiaoxiaosheng?"
"I have read many books of my brother-in-law, so I am naturally familiar with it. When I see the words of Ayang Hou Enqiu, it is like a reunion of old friends. Others may not be able to see it, but my mother can."
Gao Yue thought that the manuscript he compiled this time had been copied and sent to Wu Cailuan and Zhihui for printing. Since my sister-in-law wanted the manuscript, I'll give it to her.
"This is of course, it's rare to find Yun and Qingyan."
