The breath of winter has arrived in Chang'an City. It is normal for the reincarnation of dynasties every year to be like a dynasty; but there are rules of heaven that dominate all this, just like the sun that is not northward, there is no winter.
Guanzhong is not as cold as the north, but it is also snowy and windy. Except for the two cities, the east and west, the streets are not as noisy and lively as before.
On the upturned roofs of the luxurious buildings of the palace and hou houses, some beautiful decorations are also covered with snow and are faintly visible. I don’t know how many times the walls of the people’s houses have been piled with white snow like this. This ancient city has many old houses that have been around for a long time, and this is the solid feature.
In recent years, political situations have been turbulent, and even mutinies and armed struggles have occurred in the palace, but none of them have caused a devastating blow to Chang'an City. It still stands on the Guanzhong Plain, which also means that the vitality of this era has not been damaged.
Except for Xue Chongxun's army in the north, the Chang'an Central Committee still had control over the local area, so what happened in Heisha City was soon known to the country.
What is the reaction in Chang'an City?
On the surface, it is as quiet as the current snow scene.
It is normal to be quiet among the people in the city, because before rumors spread widely, ordinary subjects had nowhere to know about this kind of thing, and many people had never heard of it.
The nobles and some backgrounds were the first to hear the news. They had more ways to get news, but everyone was silent. Few people talked about this in public. The quiet atmosphere scared people.
However, under the cover of peace, it is inevitable that someone will talk about it behind closed doors.
There was a family in Changshoufang quietly discussing in the inner room. There was a slave outside the door of the house, and the scene seemed mysterious.
This family's surname is Cui, and its ancestral home is Huazhou. The head of the family is just a small official from the capital and has no real power.
The most glorious family named Cui in Huazhou in recent years was actually Cui Riyong's family official to the Huangmen Minister. Unfortunately, Cui Riyong accidentally made a grudge with Xue Chongxun and gradually deepened, and he was completely defeated to the point of raiding the family and vanishing from the officialdom.
The Changshoufang family's surname is Cui, which may be considered as Cui Riyong's relatives. After all, they are all from the same place. However, after all, the family genealogy is not a family member for three generations, so they cannot be involved when Cui Riyong's crimes are discussed.
So they are still doing well now, but their career is relatively bleak.
The head of the family is an older old man. He is talking to several men from the Cui family: The evildoer is going to be the emperor orphan. The injustice that Mr. Cui’s family suffered at the beginning is now unreasonable. Don’t think about overturning the case.Generally speaking, such things can only be judged by future generations, and black and white will be determined.
The person in the next head sighed: Power overpowers others, power is greater than justice.
Another said: We people from Huazhou will have to bow our heads to be human in the future. Who dares to take advantage of the situation?How many years will it take to overturn the verdict in the future...
Could it be that the meat eaters in Chang'an have to wait for the rebel ministers to usurp the throne?These people who are in high positions in the temple cannot make a difference. Are they worthy of the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty?
The old man said: In this situation, as long as the Chang'an court is determined to protect the Tang Dynasty and summon people from all sides to prohibit Xue Chongxun from passing, the victory or defeat is still unknown.Although Xue's family has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, the road from the northern grassland to Chang'an City is long and the mountains and rivers are many obstacles. If each state and town resist it layer by layer, it will be difficult for his troops to advance to the capital in a short period of time.Furthermore, Xue Chongxun has no wealthy foundation in the north and has no treasury to allocate money and food to support the local government. It won’t take long for the army to be in chaos without fighting and can be settled.
Others nodded and agreed: So what if Xue Chongxun has soldiers and horses in hand? How could our Tang Dynasty destroy the country with just a few hundred thousand soldiers?If this were the case, the Tang Dynasty would have perished countless times!
The old man sighed with a gloomy face: But can the court reach an agreement to resist the enemy outside the pass?This time, Xue Chongxun was completely different from the situation where Li Sanlang was in the East Capital. Li Sanlang's people were almost eliminated after the palace transformation. The position of the ministers in the court was obvious that he must not be allowed to enter Chang'an, otherwise he would be unable to protect himself. Now Xue Chongxun has many party members in the capital, not to mention that Liu An and other prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall were venting their anger with him, even Zhang said that Dou Huaizhen and others of Taiping Party also had close contact with Xue Chongxun, and Cheng Qianli was even more nepotist.The person in power in the center was not the emperor, but Princess Taiping, who was Xue Chongxun's biological mother.In such a situation, how can you tell me that we can break up with Xue Chongxun and decide the outcome?The court was in chaos, so I think the situation was difficult, and the 100-year foundation of the Tang Dynasty would inevitably encounter another disaster here.
The younger generation sitting down said: The worries of the country are because of the palace chaos in recent years, and scholars in the world are still interested in the Tang Dynasty. Xue Chongxun did not succeed so easily!
The old man said coldly: That's right, I don't say that the aristocratic families who came after Wu Zetian went there are only ones who dare to stand up and uphold justice now?Our Cui family was suppressed by Xue Chongxun like this. Do you think we should stand up and write a letter to the public in response to the storm?
The younger generations immediately lowered their hands and were ashamed and could not answer.
Even if everyone feels that their career is bleak, they are a little depressed, at least they are not short of food and clothing and live a good life. Only when they are tired of living will they fight for justice and justice.
Sacrifice your life for righteousness...
How many people who read the books of sages can truly do this?
Someone made an excuse: Those who enjoy national grace cannot uphold justice, so why do poor people sacrifice their lives? Our ability is limited, and sacrificing themselves may not be useful.
Since ancient times, evil has not overcome justice. Xue’s name is not justified and unsatisfied. How can he be the lord of the world?
A middle-aged man said: The Xue family’s usurpation of the throne was inherently inadequate, but Xue Chongxun’s reputation is unmatched today, so during his dynasty, I am afraid that the world will not have the possibility of restoring the country, but it is hard to say the next dynasty, how can the power be justified?
The old man said: It is hard to say that Xue Chongxun’s location is, we still have to wait and see.
……
Those who discuss privately at home speak much more happily.
It is no simpler for those in power to discuss matters in the north.
Everyone has their own opinions, but they are very particular about their words and conversations.
Liu An, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said: What happened to the military man impulsively, must have nothing to do with the King of Jin.You can think about it. If this incident was the intention of King Jin, how could it happen so far away from the Shanyu Protectorate?
At first glance, this is very reasonable. If Xue Chongxun really wants to usurp the throne with the opportunity of military power, then the best time will be after entering the Guanzhong Plain.
Liu An is worthy of being the prime minister. He defended Xue Chongxun quietly, but he could speak in a good way; however, his original intention was to divert his attention and his position was very clear.
In fact, the ministers and ministers don’t need to listen to what Liu An said. Just by knowing Liu An’s background, they know who this guy is going to speak for.
At this time, the court congress was in Zichen Hall, and there were not only the prime minister of the Zhengshi Hall, the important minister of the court and Princess Taiping, but also the current emperor Li Chengning and his biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhao (the concubine Zhao Shu who was named during the reign of Brother Yan).
It is really not common for the emperor to participate in state affairs. Li Chengning is a simple boy who has no experience in fighting for power, so his biological mother also sat next to him and listened to help him.
The factional context of the court today and the discerning people in the power field are very clear about it, but everyone speaks with a straight face. It is really hard to understand the meaning of it if they don’t think deeply.
After Liu An finished speaking, the other ministers stood silently, and the atmosphere in the hall was quite dull.Princess Taiping turned her eyes to Zhang Shuo and said: Zhongshu Ling also said something, how does the Zhengshitang view this matter?
Zhang Shuo looked serious and thought in his mind that the six prime ministers each had their own thoughts. What could I say?
There are other ministers who don’t know what to think.
He held the etiquette and said: I just saw the official article with my own eyes yesterday. I have not discussed it in detail with the ministers, nor have I examined the exact incident clearly, so I dared not speak lightly for a while.
Unexpectedly, Li Shouyi said angrily: The matter is unclear, what else is there to be unclear?Regardless of whether the subordinates of King Jin were unintentional or premeditated, the dragon robe was a foregone conclusion, there were no two suns in the sky, and there were no two monarchs in a country, and everything was known to the world. Can the King of Jin do nothing but a word of unintentional?There is an emperor here and another in the north. This matter is very clear, there can only be one emperor!
Everyone looked at each other, but they all admired Li Shouyi's blunt attitude. This old boy is so handsome that no one can compare to others.
Princess Taiping asked Li Shouyi: Who should Gong Xianggong think be the only emperor?
Empress Dowager Zhao and Emperor Li Chengning suddenly changed color and held their breath and listened. Only Princess Taiping had the concentration and still asked questions without changing her face.
Li Shouyi bowed a few times, stood up straight and said calmly: No one dares to tell the truth, let me tell you!The world is peaceful and the four regions are in charge of the people. The Tang Dynasty has not lost its virtues to the people, so how can there be a reason to give way?Now, whether it is in the past, present, or in the future, it is the same assertion.But with such a clear truth, the Lords talked about him around the temple. Isn’t it because the King of Jin has made great contributions and power and cannot afford to offend him?
Li Shouyi is a brave person, but he is not a fool who can use this straightforward nature to get through the current state of mind. Then he said: I am not afraid of offending the King of Jin, I have something to say!Tell you, those who really want to wait for an opportunity to harm him will never dare to stand here and say the axiom!And no one says justice, nor can we let the matter of King Jin become legitimate!
Princess Taiping said: Prince Li dares to say frankly that he is a good minister of the country like Wei Zheng in the past.Just now, Xiang Gong Li said the righteousness, and now you can tell me about the solutions.
Li Shouyidao: When planning his position, the Secretary of the Central Committee should present a response plan!
Zhang Shuo looked at Li Shouyi angrily and said: It's important, you can't be too hasty.My advice: handle it carefully.What's the benefit of civil war caused by improper use of the court, and the people are displaced but talk about justice in vain?
Guanzhong is not as cold as the north, but it is also snowy and windy. Except for the two cities, the east and west, the streets are not as noisy and lively as before.
