As the Huangmen Minister, Cui Riyong has been a Beijing official in Chang'an for many years and has many colleagues and friends. He didn't go to the duty for two consecutive days, which naturally attracted the attention of his colleagues.
Someone went to their house and asked, saying that he had gone out two days ago and had never returned.
Two or three days later, a colleague came to their house to check and found that his bedroom was messy and valuable things were packed in a large box. He also interrogated the butler and said that Cui Riyong and his wife made it like that.
As a result, everyone naturally guessed that Cui Riyong was going back to his hometown in Henan to rebel.
The unlucky one is Jia Yingfu, a scholar of the Zhaowenguan at Yousanqi, because he is a close relative of Cui Riyong's wife's family.
Jia Yingfu had chosen the right camp before, and fought fiercely with ministers of the Taiping Party such as Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong.
Now that this matter is involved, I immediately cannot trust it. Although I was not immediately dismissed from office and was surrounded by secret spies from the Censorate.
Is my whereabouts being stared at me? Is it a depressed life like this?
Since Wu Zetian, various factions have been formed in the central government of the Tang Dynasty, and the regimes have changed too quickly, and the party principles are not clear.
However, once the victory or defeat is doomed, a short-term stable situation can be formed. If Princess Taiping is there, it can suppress and harmonize the contradictions.
Now that Princess Taiping is not awake, the internal conflicts are soon highlighted. First of all, there is a disagreement between Zhang Shuo and Cheng Qianli.
Both of them are prime ministers, Zhang Shuo is in charge of the Ministry of War, and although Cheng Qianli is in charge of the Ministry of Works, he is a leader in leading troops to fight.
How to destroy Luoyang's power struggle, the two have arguing...
Fortunately, no one in the central government would say that they would support Li Longji, because Luoyang declared the Chang'an regime a pseudo-dynasty, and Li Longji became the common enemy of Chang'an bureaucrats, otherwise the power in everyone's hands would be invalidated.
Cheng Qianli wanted to obtain the authorization of the Political Affairs Hall and led 36,000 Long March athletes around the capital to go out of Tongguan to extinguish the rebellion.
At that time, in order to launch a war against Tubo, the Tang Dynasty central government recruited 100,000 Guanjian, which was broken into pieces after the war. Some of them were stationed in Jishishan defense line in Longyou, and some were transferred to Hexi. The remaining more than 30,000 were stationed in the capital, Weinan, Wugong and other areas to strengthen their military preparations.
Cheng Qianli believed that only this force could accomplish anything, and he wanted to gain military power and make another contribution.
But Zhang Shuo, the Minister of War, was very dissatisfied because when he was the prime minister, Cheng Qianli was still a local official. He didn't want Cheng Qianli to gradually gain power, otherwise he would have to be humble when he saw his former subordinates in the future?
What a depressing thing that is!
So Zhang said that he wanted to mobilize the Guards in Guannei in the name of the Ministry of War to fight against the rebellion.
The two of them had their own strengths and weaknesses in secret.
Zhang Shuo has been in the temple for a long time and has a greater reputation. He clearly said: What are you, the Minister of Works, and you are still in charge of the Ministry of War?
But Zhang said that he also had shortcomings. When Li Longji was the prince, he was involved with Li Longji, and later he joined Princess Taiping.
In contrast, Cheng Qianli's background is much cleaner. Although he just became the prime minister, he was promoted by Princess Taiping. He is a direct bureaucrat. Now he has formed an alliance with Xue Chongxun and is supported by the ministers and elders of the Political Affairs Hall.
Although Zhang Shuo also has a close relationship with Xue Chongxun. In order to promote the reform of the military system, the two worked closely together, but Zhang Shuo's relationship with Xue Chongxun was not as good as that of the Cheng family. Even if Cheng Ting was not a wife, she was the Ming media who married her and sealed her concubine.
The two fought fiercely, and no one in the Political Affairs Hall could make the decision. Although the left prime minister Lu Xiangxian was very famous, he was a peacemaker, indifferent and easy to get along with, but lacked courage. Dou Huaizhen, the elder of the Taiping Party, should not count on him. He was busy trying every means to establish a relationship with Empress Gao. Under his eyes, Princess Taiping was no longer the case. Empress Gao might take over the power of the palace and have to seek a way out as soon as possible...
The word Zhen in his name is a complete joke.
At that time, Wang Changling advised Xue Chongxun: The lord must quell the disputes in the court as soon as possible and dispatch troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.
As Wang Changling said, the longer the time delays, the more beneficial it is to Li Longji. First of all, Chang'an loses the canal transportation supplies, and I am afraid that the economy of the inner road of the Guannei can not support the army in the capital area; secondly, after Li Longji occupied Luoyang, he could defeat the controls in time.
But Xue Chongxun also had a small plan, and he also wanted to lead his army to quell the rebellion. This incident would have a crucial impact on his future status in Chang'an.
However, the direct troops of Longyou, the Shield Army (Shence Army), had not arrived yet, and Zhang Wulang, Yin Ci (General of the Shield Army), etc. had not arrived. Xue Chongxun had never commanded a war. Even if he was given military power, he might be defeated. Wouldn't this be a bad thing?
Because Wang Changling was not an outsider, Xue Chongxun expressed his thoughts and said: At this time, if you don’t seek to make progress, you may end up like Wu Sansi.
Wang Changling pondered: What the lord said is very true, but it will take more than half a month to arrive in the Shen Ce Army. I am afraid that the main business will be delayed after wasting time.
Xue Chongxun thought to himself, if my own safety is not guaranteed, it will be unrelated to me who wins and loses in Chang'an or Luoyang. It has nothing to do with me if the power group of the court goes to death!
Seeing that he was silent, Wang Changling seemed to have guessed his thoughts, so he said: Li Sanlang could not pass Tongguan in a short day, and he had no worries in the pass for the time being, and he would sit still and watch, but it would make the place near the left of the East Capital fall into his hands.
Xue Chongxun asked: Xianggong Zhang and Xianggong Cheng had a dispute, but the ministers of the court knew that they could not delay, so they must try to coordinate and come up with a charter.Shao Bo thinks that I can wait until the Shence Army enters Beijing and can I get military power?
Wang Changling said: It’s hard to say when he can go out, but if the lord wants to fight for military power to suppress the rebellion, the first is the lord is the general of the Left Guard; the second is the dispute between Zhang and Cheng, and Cheng is indeed troublesome. Cheng Xianggong is in charge of the Ministry of Works and should not have been in charge of military power. However, Zhang Xianggong cannot get the support of all his grandfathers... After all, Zhang Xianggong and Sanlang have a deep relationship, and they are worried that Zhang Xianggong will rebel before the battle.
Xue Chongxun smiled and said: Actually, I think Zhang said it is still reliable. He has already joined my mother's disciple. He has not yet turned around and he is slaughtered well. Besides, Li Sanlang has not much chance of winning, so why should he follow Li Sanlang?
Wang Changling nodded: Zhang Xianggong was in charge of the Ministry of War, and he was indeed the most appropriate person, but the public disagrees and would not take the risk of letting him lead the army to attack Li Sanlang; Cheng Xianggong had no status and was suppressed by Zhang Xianggong.So in the end, if the lord comes forward, it will be a way to settle the dispute in a compromise and will definitely receive unanimous support from the court officials.
Xue Chongxun thought he was kind, and suddenly realized that the two old boys restrained each other and restrained each other, it turned out to be a good thing.
……
At this time, the left prime minister Lu Xiang had no choice but to let everyone vote in the Political Affairs Hall, and there were seven prime ministers. This situation is very useful when the imperial power is low, because the number of people is odd and can produce a result.
If it were a powerful monarch in power, a prime minister would be abolished and they would be turned into six people. After checks and balances, the emperor would have to make a decision. The emperor could use this method to strengthen the imperial power.
Now the seven people have expressed their opinions, and they all come one by one, and everyone is undecided.
I am worried about arousing dissatisfaction from the Chang'an Power Group because they do not trust Zhang Shuo very much on the issue of Li Longji; Isn't this intentional embarrassing Zhang Shuo on the subject of Li Longji?
Zhang said that in the past two years, he has managed to repair his relationship with the Taiping Party bureaucrats, and has broadened his connections, so everyone has no intention of getting along with him.
So when the voting is held, if the person in front supports Zhang Shuo and the person in back supports Cheng Qianli, everyone tacitly said: It’s not that I am willing to support anyone, but I just don’t want the situation to be one-sided.
The result of the first six people was undoubtedly three to three, and finally arrived at Dou Huaizhen because this guy went to Penglai Palace and came the latest.
When Dou Huaizhen saw this situation, the expression on his face became very innocent, and he wondered why the fuck he was pushing the matter on me alone?
The spacious and quaint house of the Zhengshi Hall became silent. Everyone pretended to be very busy. After expressing their opinions, they would do their own things. They either picked up their pens and wrote quickly or looked at the file in a pretty good manner.
Dou Huaizhen felt that his handsome face became very ugly when he was old, and his eyebrows were falling to both sides, forming an ugly shape like a mustache.
He raised his arm and made a meaningless move, and opened his mouth but still couldn't speak.
Such a strange quiet lasted for a long time, and Dou Huaizhen finally spoke: I... I didn't think about it for a while, so it would be better to abstain.
Lu Xiang, who has always been indifferent, was a little angry at first, slapped the table gently, and tried to control his emotions and said: You can't abstain, you have to express your opinion even if you draw lots.
Draw lots?Dou Huaizhen frowned and thought, as long as it was his attitude, he would not blame him in the end?He said: I think it is better to write a letter to the present and let it be approved.
On the top...
Brother Fen, when did you read the memorial?
A very magical thing. He has been the emperor for two years. Now even the prime minister in the court has no idea about his handwriting. If he wants to pass on a handwritten order, maybe everyone will not tell the authenticity.
But Dou Huaizhen has his own ideas, and this proposal can not only shirk responsibility, but also take the opportunity to curry favor with Empress Gao.
Since Li Shouli did not consider the government and Princess Taiping was unconscious, but there was not a single person in the palace. Can the emperor let his queen make a decision?
Dou Huaizhen will say in front of Empress Gao and ask her to take the opportunity to participate in the government affairs, so how can Empress Gao be appreciated?
At this time, the Political Affairs Hall was undecided. If Empress Gao participated in politics, most of the ministers would acquiesce, but she had a great opportunity.
When Lu Xiang saw Dou Huaizhen gritting his teeth and not expressing his opinion, he had no choice but to say: Since that is the case, I can only let the emperor make a decision. I will draft a memorial and report it to the emperor when I go to court tomorrow morning.
Someone went to their house and asked, saying that he had gone out two days ago and had never returned.
Two or three days later, a colleague came to their house to check and found that his bedroom was messy and valuable things were packed in a large box. He also interrogated the butler and said that Cui Riyong and his wife made it like that.
