All Hail Cousin Brother - Chapter 976

Since ancient times, “Writing and admonishing, fighting to the death”, but there are still a few people with such courage.

The old official, surnamed Gu, was not well-known in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He wasted half his life. He was almost old and at the age of [must] retire and return to his hometown.

The imperial court has expressly stipulated that once officials reach their seventies, they must report to their old age and return to their posts.

Therefore, most officials are less than seventy, or even sixty, and they are going to serve.

The court also needs to inject fresh blood in order to continue to operate.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was an official named Ju Kejiu. He still did not take the initiative to serve in the office after he was seventy years old, so that Song Taizu could not see it. It is too ugly for an official to serve, so it is stipulated that the people from the Censor should be impeached, and those old officials should take the initiative to serve.

That ancient censor, who had no achievements in the Supreme Court, nor had an extraordinary background, why could he stay in the Supreme Court until his seventies? !

You must know that the officials of the imperial court are all radishes and a pit, and walking one means vacating a position. Many aristocratic families focus on these old people and describe the impeachment of aging officials, so as to free up their positions and pave the way for their own families.

It can be seen that this ancient censor is not simple.

It is not difficult to infer that behind his actions, someone must be instructing him.

So why is the imperial censor willing to sacrifice his own life to be this early bird?

This has to start with the situation after the official went to work.

Once ordinary officials leave the officialdom, they will face the situation of people taking tea and cold, and the past fame, fortune, and wealth have become a thing of the past.

In addition to receiving half of their official positions every month, they still enjoy tax-free treatment, and life is still very good.

But compared to when he was an official in the dynasty, it was completely incomparable.

Most people still can’t accept such a gap. If there are still some contacts in the court, they can still cherish their children and grandchildren and pave the way for their future.

However, the prefectural court is doing things that offend people. For example, Yu Zongzheng is from an aristocratic family, and he is escorted by an aristocratic family. If there is any trouble in the court, it will not be his turn to be the first bird. The wind is in the wrong direction. Even if the imperial court raises teachers and asks for guilt, it is not his turn. Those who bear the brunt of the brunt are those officials who have no foundation and who have become outstanding officials.

As an official with no foundation and no backstage, once he loses power, the consequences can be imagined. He is a promising descendant of the family’s younger generation. If he enters the court in the future, he will also face the end of being excluded, and his future is worrying. .

The ancient imperial censor is getting older and rarer. Before he started his career, he made a pathfinder stone for some people. Although he lost his life, he found a refuge for future generations.

It is also the last time in my life to shine.

The current court situation is responding to the calculation of “disputing the storage and chaos of the government”, Yu Youyao suddenly asked: “Who is this old minister?”

Concubine Lan, Concubine Xu, King of the Domain, or Yin Huaixi?

Yin Huaixi smiled: “It’s Prince Liang’s person.” Then, he changed the subject and said meaningfully: “But this matter was ordered by Concubine Lan.”

As expected, and unexpectedly, Yu Youyao was a little shy: “King Liang’s hand has been stretched so long.”

Yin Huaixi smiled: “For King Liang, everything is ready now, and I only owe Dongfeng. If there is no dispute over the reserve and government, where will the teacher be famous?”

Yu Youyao deeply agreed and frowned: “Gu Yushi is from King Liang, does Concubine Lan know that? Concubine Lan is not like the kind of person who seeks skin from tigers.”

In the past, the Marquis of Weining was a powerful mansion, and the imperial concubine Lu had a distinguished status. The second prince was not only the most valuable, but also highly trusted by the emperor. Prince Liang was a help to the second prince, and of course there were threats, but it was not impossible. suppress.

Today is different from the past, Ning Yuanbo’s mansion was put into prison, Lan Fei lost the support of her parents’ family, and then involved with King Liang, that is, seeking skin with the tiger and seeking her own death.

Concubine Lan wanted to support the second prince and climb high.

King Liang also wanted that position.

Lan Fei couldn’t suppress Liang Wang’s ambition, and it was impossible to continue to cooperate.

Yu Youyao thought about it. When the emperor made her the county head, when she entered the palace to thank her, Lan Fei, whom she saw in Shouyan Palace, thought about it.

Yin Huaixi asked back, “Why do you see it?”

Yu Youyao said: “Concubine Lan is a very wise person, she knows how to judge the situation, and she is also good at making calculations.

Her words were not groundless.

At that time, the eldest son of the emperor died, and the queen’s wife was hit hard, and she has been locked out of the palace.

It was Concubine Lan who took charge of Fengyin and held the harem for many years.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is very important. The Gou Emperor definitely loves his eldest son who has just been born, and the Gou Emperor may not. He really wants to kill the emperor’s eldest son, but it is inevitable that he has complicated feelings for the emperor’s eldest son because of the matter of Ningguo Gongfu. some.

Tiger poison does not eat children, and is still an innocent child who has just been born and has no threat.

No matter which way you look at it, it doesn’t constitute the emperor’s murderous intention to the eldest son of the emperor.

The death of the emperor’s eldest son was not necessarily the result of the emperor’s attack, but someone who was trying to figure out the Sacred Heart, took advantage of this loophole, and took advantage of the situation to attack the emperor’s eldest son.

As an imperial teacher, Mrs. Yang, who “married” her daughter, poured out water, and if her daughter made a mistake, even in terms of the kindness and righteousness of preaching and teaching, Mrs. Yang was not guilty of death.

But the dog emperor didn’t even let his teacher go, so he carried the name “killer” on his back. It can be seen that he really regretted the death of the emperor’s eldest son.

Next, the second prince took the “long”, and the emperor naturally deplored and valued the eldest son of the emperor and turned to the second prince.

The person who planned all this was to dig out the emperor’s mind exactly and make full use of it.

Looking at the harem, Yu Youyao only thought of one person who could figure out the Sacred Heart so accurately.

The former imperial concubine Lu, the current Concubine Lan!

During this time, Xu Guifei jumped up and down, manipulated the northern gentry, and made waves in the northern region;

As a result, he lost his wife and lost his army.

The case of the Han family in Xi’an is still under trial. The Han family’s children, led by the elder Han Ge, are still imprisoned in the mansion. Judging from the progress of the case, the Han family’s pavilion cannot escape the guilt.

It seems that all of this has nothing to do with Concubine Lan, but the second prince logically suppressed the third prince, and gained a lot of virtuous reputation in the court.

Empress Ning and the fourth prince didn’t stop, their eyes were fixed on the Yu clan’s calculations, and they did not achieve their goals.

But as a result, Queen Ning’s painstakingly planned “opportunity for the northern tour” was also shelved.

On the surface, Concubine Lan did not get anything, but the matter of competition for the crown is always decided by the emperor. Concubine Lan’s “low-key” and “safety” these days has formed a sharp contrast with Concubine Xu and Empress Ning. .
