Unparalleled Concubine

  Chapter 902 The power of civil servants

  The Dajin Dynasty was an orthodox dynasty in the Central Plains, and there was no precedent for the son to win the mother, but the Northern Zhou Dynasty did. The Northern Zhou Dynasty established the country for more than 100 years, and many emperors occupied it as a father, concubine, concubine, and even one was established as an empress!

  Because the Northern Zhou Dynasty was too powerful, these stories were once circulated in Dajin as a romantic affair.

   Therefore, the eighteen-year-old nobleman of Chu listened to the words of others and secretly entered the Weiyang Palace.

She was a fourteen-year-old draft girl who entered the palace. After she entered the palace, she only served the emperor once, and was named a sixth-rank nobleman. She was randomly thrown into the inconspicuous Yuxiu Palace in the harem, and has been waiting for the emperor Taikang. The second chance of luck.

   Who knew that instead of waiting for the arrival of Emperor Taikang, he waited for the death of Emperor Taikang, making her a widow at the age of seventeen.

A woman of this age is naturally restless, but her future has come to an end with the death of Emperor Taikang. If there is no accident, she can only stay in Yuxiu Palace for the rest of her life, and be a nobody who cares about her. The former nobles of the past will never see the slightest light in their whole life.

   But a few days ago, someone went to Yuxiu Palace, told her about the new emperor today, and fell in love with her at first sight.

The story of    the woman who served two generations of emperors in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was later named an empress is still circulating in the Great Jin Dynasty. No girl could refuse this kind of temptation.

   Even if she can't be a queen, being an ordinary concubine is better than being a widow in Yuxiu Palace. She is only eighteen years old, and her life is still very long.

   Therefore, she came bravely.

   But now, the big **** standing in front of her has a strangely ugly expression on his face.

  Chu Guiren was also stunned. She didn't have any city government, so she was stunned in the same place, at a loss.

At this time, Emperor Yuan Zhao was still in a daze. Xiao Zheng, the **** who was the eunuch, had already reacted. He stepped forward and picked up a candlestick and walked directly to Chu Guiren. He made a decisive move and smashed the back of the nobleman's head go down!

   Immediately blood flowed.

   The girl didn't even hum, and fell to the ground, bleeding all over the place.

   The expressions of several Zaifu suddenly changed, and they stood up one after another, shouting angrily, "Eunuch Xiao, what are you doing!"

Xiao Zheng's face was gloomy, he slowly turned his head to look at a few Zaifu, and lowered his head slightly: "Everyone, it was our family who admitted the mistake, this person should be a palace maid in Yuxiu Palace, I don't know why he ran to Weiyang Palace, Our family is in charge of the forbidden palace, and it was just exercising the rules of the palace, which made several ministers laugh."

Shen Kuan's face darkened, he stepped forward, and shouted angrily: "If something like this happened in the palace, Eunuch Xiao, as the emperor's valet, not only did not give any advice, but in front of me, he violently murdered and did not punish me at all. Wait and see!"

   He stood upright and shouted: "Since Eunuch Xiao wants to destroy the evidence, why not kill us all together. Today's affairs will be clean and no outsiders will know about it!"

It is naturally impossible to kill the prime minister. These people are not just the prime ministers who are officials in the dynasty. Behind them are the core figures of interest groups, some of them are great masters in the literary world, and they are dismissed from office with legitimate reasons. There is no problem with even raiding the house and destroying the family, but it is unclear that they cannot die.

   Today in the palace, not only the chief minister of Shangshutai, but also two ministers, Shen Kuan and Yan Shouzhuo, if something happens to them, the officialdom of Dajin will be in chaos immediately, and the situation will only get worse.

  Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and bowed his head respectfully to the several Zaisukes.

   "Masters, our family's handling of matters in the palace does not seem to have violated the national law, but it has violated the law. At most, our family's life is worth her life."

This big **** who is very disciplined in front of everyone, this time is surprisingly tough, he took a deep breath and said: "You are all ministers who govern the country, and a mere life is left to the three judicial divisions to investigate and deal with it, There is no need for a few ministers to personally intervene."

Yan Shouzhuo took a step forward, looked at Chu Guiren who was lying on the ground, and then looked at Xiao Zheng who was standing in front of the Son of Heaven, and said solemnly, "Eunuch Xiao, no matter if this person is Chu Guiren or not, you always kill people by violence. We have seen with our own eyes that several of us, including me, have been officials in the dynasty for decades, and Shen Xiang and I are even assistant ministers appointed by the emperor. where?"

   "If there is no explanation for this matter today, the officials I wait for will not do it!"

  He is in charge of the censor's desk, and he usually manages nostalgia, not to mention that this matter is no longer a nostalgia, he shouted: "I don't believe it anymore, you are a eunuch, and you can reverse black and white, and call a deer a horse?"

   At this time, Emperor Yuan Zhao, who was standing behind Xiao Zheng, finally reacted. The young Emperor's face was flushed with anger. He pushed Xiao Zheng away and looked at these auxiliary ministers viciously.

   "I never knew that there was such a noble person in my palace. Today, a few Saisukes came together, and this noble person came out inexplicably. What a coincidence!"

   Hearing this, Xiao Zheng frowned.

In terms of politics, even if you know something, you can’t say it directly. You have to leave some room for compromise. For example, in the current situation, you can completely compromise with a few Saisukes and pay some price to suppress this matter. go down.

   But as soon as the emperor said these words, there was no room for compromise.

  Shen Kuan held the chao wat in his hand and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, we are all foreign ministers. It can be said that we don't know anything about the affairs in the palace. It's not someone else delivering the letter today, so I don't know anything about it at all."

He looked left and right at the other people, and continued to lower his head: "Today, I am waiting to come together, and my original intention is not to find some noble people of Chu, but to persuade Your Majesty to cultivate one's self and morality. When things have reached this point, His Majesty has turned the matter over. It's really chilling to shirk on my head."

   "It is the duty of the minister to advise the monarch. This is the hadith of Emperor Wu. If your majesty has not yet been in power, will you rebel against Emperor Wu?"

This era pays attention to respect and order, that is to say, there is no way for you to directly speak of someone with a higher status than you. The emperor will never be wrong. Therefore, when civil servants are in line with the emperor, they will take the gods and Ancestors speak.

  God, that is, when the Son of Heaven loses his virtue, the sky is angry.

As for the ancestors, it is even simpler. They will memorize the "quotations" of the previous emperors, and then either cut the beginning and the end, or discard the background and use it separately, so that the right to interpret these "quotations" is in the hands of their civil servants. hand.

   One word of "filial piety" and one word of "virtue", and the emperor who can be suppressed cannot move.

   What's more, the current emperor Yuan Zhao has not been in power, and he can't even use force against these prime ministers.

   The little emperor's face flushed with anger.

   He angrily pointed at several prime ministers and shouted angrily, "You are here today to force the palace!"

   Several prime ministers knelt down together and said in unison, "I don't dare to wait."

  Yan Shouzhuo bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, there must be an explanation for today's affairs, otherwise where is the justice of the Great Jin?"

   After he said that, he glanced at the Chu Guiren who was lying on the ground still bleeding, and said solemnly: "That woman, the minister is going to take her out of the palace, I, the three justices, will investigate this matter clearly."

   Xiao Zheng took a step forward silently, his face expressionless.

   "Yan Sikong, this is impossible."
