Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 861 Complaining Essence

  Li Xin wanted to make this matter bigger, to the point where even the assistant ministers couldn't stop it, and at this time, several assistant ministers naturally wanted to make this matter a big deal.

  Because if the trouble continues, not only will they lose their official positions, but their lives and wealth may all be hung on the filaments.

   It is obviously not in their political interests to continue fighting with Li Xin, so they simply bowed their heads to Li Xin.

   What politicians are best at has never been to help the world and the people, but to compromise.

   As long as their vital interests are involved, they can compromise without limit.

With his sleeves fluttering, the Duke of Jing'an quietly looked at these Zaifu, and asked with narrowed eyes: "This matter, it was the princes who started first, the princes didn't have any warning, bypassed this official and transferred me away. How arrogant was it when the Youying Zhe rushed to the captain?"

"The right battalion of the forbidden army was handed over to this official by the late emperor. The purpose is to maintain the stability of the capital. The princes, including the great governor, did not take the late emperor and me, the general of the forbidden army, in the eyes of the emperor. I want to ask the gentlemen, what do you want?"

   The smile on Li Xin's face subsided.

   "Can the publics bully Li Xin to be weak?"

  Shen Kuan sighed deeply, lowered his head and said, "Master, it's not right to go to my Shangshu Desk for this matter, and it's because we wanted to make a mistake. I can guarantee with Master Fu that this matter will not be an example, and there will never be a second time."

   "The right battalion of the Forbidden Army is still in charge of the Taifu, and the Ministry of War is also under the control of the Taifu. Before the emperor takes the lead, the official position of the Taifu will not be changed in the slightest."

   This is soft with bowed clothes.

   The left minister of the Shangshutai bowed his head and smiled bitterly.

   "Your Majesty is only fourteen years old this year, and he never participated in the administration of the government when he was sitting in the East Palace. It is really too difficult for Your Majesty to let His Majesty take charge of the government at the court meeting today."

   "I'm not greedy for power, but I really can't bear to slack off in state affairs. At this point, whether it's big or small is between Taifu's thoughts."

   Said, Shen Kuan and several auxiliary ministers looked at each other, and then said solemnly: "Taifu, state affairs must not be abandoned for a day."

   "Invite Taifu Rongqing. After the incident, I will go to Taifu's mansion together and come to the door to apologize."

   Lord Jingan looked at Shen Kuan with a smile.

"Shen Xiang, there doesn't seem to be a big difference between the age of fourteen and the age of sixteen. Besides, you are not at the Shangshu Desk. I don't know how many people in the courtroom have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze in. There is no one in the courtroom. State affairs will not be abandoned.”

Entering the Shangshutai to worship the prime minister is the dream of almost all civil servants, even all scholars. If there is no Shen Kuan, there will be some leniency. Come Yan Kuan, many of the dozen or so servants of the six departments can enter the Shangshutai to do things. , the imperial court operates in the same way.

   Shen Kuan's face was ugly.

   "Master, there is no such thing as you!"

   What politicians are best at is compromise. Therefore, politicians always compromise with each other. If you take a step back, I will take a step back, and things will be negotiated. Unless they are one-sided, they will rarely fight to the end.

   Now several Saisukes have been forced by Li Xin to back ten steps, but Li Xin is still standing in the same place, not willing to take a step back, so Shen Kuan will say that he is not following the rules.

   Lord Jingan smiled disdainfully, turned his head and left.

   "The princes crossed the Ministry of War to intervene in the prohibition of military affairs, just to obey the rules?"

   "Since we can't reach an agreement, then don't talk about it any more, and wait for the emperor to decide tomorrow. If the emperor stands on the side of the princes, the official will leave the office. Otherwise, he will trouble the princes to also go to the dukes."

   After saying that, the Marquis of Jingan left with his hands behind.

   Several Zaifu stood at the gate of Yonganmen, their faces were not very good-looking, Shen Kuan looked at Li Xin's back, and snorted: "This person has been a favorite for ten years, and he is so arrogant!"

   Grand Governor Ji Lin frowned and said, "Shen Xiangshen said, Mrs. Li worked hard in Taikang for a long time, and no one can surpass him in terms of merits, but he can't be said to be a favorite minister."

   Shen Kuan gritted his teeth: "Of course he has meritorious deeds, but he is proud of his merits, his nostrils are turned to the sky, and he has already threatened the emperor when he is in power!"

  In the Chengde Dynasty, it was Zaifu's middle book, Ling Gongyangshu, who stroked his snow-white beard and coughed slightly: "Masters, no matter how much you shout here, it won't help."

   He sighed: "At the beginning of the ninth year of Taikang, all the princes were in court. We should know a little bit about what happened at that time. Even the late emperor didn't do anything to him. We were too rash."

Gongyangshu is the oldest among these people. As soon as he spoke, everyone else became quiet. Ji Lin bowed his hands to the old Zaifu and smiled bitterly: "Gongyang Xianggong, please advise the old man. stop."

   Gong Yang said slowly: "This old man is already in his seventies, and he will be eighty in a few years. It doesn't matter if he is an official or not, but I'm afraid you can't let go of fame and fortune."

  Doctor Yan Shouzhuo bowed his head slightly: "Please enlighten me, brother."

   Gongyang Xianggong blinked and sighed: "It's useless to stand here. In my opinion, we should go to Kunde Palace and see the Empress Dowager."

   He said earnestly: "After all, our four assistant ministers are more reassuring than one assistant minister."

The "one assistant minister" in his words refers to Li Xin. It is foreseeable that if the emperor succeeds in pro-government and several assistant ministers are dismissed from office, then the grand master will definitely become a court official after this incident. There is no one who has the most power to speak.

   At that time, he will become the only assistant minister.

   When the time comes, the power of the subject will threaten the power of the monarch. This must be something that the monarch does not want to see, and the emperor is young, and the decisive role at this time is the empress dowager.

   After hearing Gongyangshu's words, the eyes of several Saisukes and assistant ministers all lit up.

   Shen Kuan is even more happy.

   "Brother Gongyang is right, four auxiliary ministers are better than one auxiliary minister."

   "I'm equivalent to going to Kunde Palace to ask to see the Empress Dowager."

After finishing speaking, several Zaifu turned around at Yong'anmen and walked towards the harem. Their identities were extraordinary. They were all people who could see the emperor at any time on weekdays. A few people walked together, and the eunuchs in the palace immediately informed them. The inner guard was quickly alerted, and Xiao Huai, the young supervisor of the inner guard, sent someone to the Kunde Palace to report, and personally led a few Zaifu towards the Kunde Palace.

   They met the Empress Dowager smoothly.

   Originally, Emperor Yuanzhao was also in Kunde Palace, telling his mother about court affairs, but after hearing that several Zaifu came over, the emperor did not want people to know that he was in Kunde Palace, so he avoided it in advance.

   Several Zaifu met Empress Dowager Xie in the main hall of Kunde Palace. The white-haired old men all knelt down slowly, calling them Empress Dowager.

   Empress Dowager Xie was only in her thirties, and she had never seen so many Saisukes at the same time, so she immediately stretched out her arms in a panic.

   "All gentlemen, please get up."

   During the Taikang Dynasty, when the Taisukes met the emperor in private, they usually did not kneel.

   Empress Dowager Xie smiled reluctantly.

   "You Zaifu, you don't handle government affairs in the official office, why did you come to the Ai family together?"

  Shen Kuan is the Prime Minister and is also standing at the front. He cupped his hands to the Empress Dowager Xie: "Return to the Empress Dowager, the ministers and other important matters, please ask the Empress Dowager to make the decision."

   Empress Dowager Xie said with a smile: "You are all the humerus of the imperial court, the pillars of the state, and the important affairs of the imperial court cannot come from the princes. How can a woman in Aijia be the master of the princes?"

   "Return to the Empress Dowager."

   Shen Kuan gritted his teeth.

   "Li Changan, the marquis of Jing'an, framed me and other four ministers with trivial matters, intending to control the government!"
