The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 90
Few ancient palaces, the palace flowers are lonely and red.

The white-headed maid is here, sitting idle and talking about Xuanzong.

——"The Palace" Yuan Zhen

Arriving at Yang's Mansion, the carriage stopped.Awaken Yang Guozhong from his memory.He didn't know why he was so sad tonight, maybe it was snowing all over the sky, which gave him the illusion that he was on a journey.

"Life is like traveling against the road, and I am also a pedestrian", yes, life is impermanent, who is not passing by in a hurry?

"My family is from a poor family. Once I come here from the Jiaojiao House, I don't know where the tax driver is. However, I can't make my name in the end. If I don't, I am very happy."Once the imperial concubine falls out of favor or becomes holy for a hundred years, who knows whether she will be able to maintain her glory and wealth forever in the future?I never expected to be famous in history, so why not live in the present and enjoy the moment?

It's still Li Bai who can take it easy: "You must be happy to be happy in life, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon." It's useless to think too much, let's get drunk today when you have wine.Yang Guozhong shook his head and smiled, as if he wanted to shake this inexplicable sadness out of his mind.

As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, he saw a carriage parked at the gate of the mansion, and a person standing in front of the carriage was Xianyu Zhongtong.Yang Guozhong hurried forward, holding Xian Yuzhong's arm: "My lord, it's so late, but I have something important to discuss? Come in quickly, drink a glass of wine, and warm yourself up." Although Yang Guozhong's power is growing day by day, facing Yang Guozhong, the benefactor of the year, is still very respectful and doesn't put on airs.

The two came to Yang Guozhong's study, and the maid stepped back after warming the wine.Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Xianyu Zhongtong recounted in detail how Li Xiangfan's son led troops to besiege the Bashu guild hall tonight, saying: "Li Xiangfan only hopes that his merits will go beyond his own right, and he will do everything possible to get rid of those who are powerful and powerful. It is especially taboo for scholars of literature, or if Yang is good to him, he will fall into Yin with sweet words.

Li Xiang has been in power for almost 20 years. Although he is the chief assistant, he controls the government.But after all, he is seventy years old, and his body and vigor are far from what they used to be.As the saying goes, at the end of the crossbow, it is impossible to penetrate Lu Jin.More importantly, the Holy Majesty is tired of his life, and in my opinion, he will not be here soon.My lord has become more and more powerful these years, if he goes down the field, with the favor of today's sacred heart, it must be you, my lord, who will enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister. "

Yang Guozhong said with hatred: "This old man is so cunning and tight, now he is more and more cautious and careful. In the past two years, Wang Chi has been in the limelight. He was promoted to the Minister of the Household Department and Doctor Yushi, and he was also named the Duke of Taiyuan County and Jing Zhaoyin. How much official title and limelight has been stolen from Li Linfu. In the face of Wang Hao's strong rise, Li Shilang was extremely jealous, but uncharacteristically, he remained silent. Why, he just sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, trying to get Wang Hao and me to fight each other. When you are done, you can catch others and reap the benefits of being a fisherman. Everyone says that this old fox has honey in his mouth and a sword in his belly. As expected, he is playing dirty."

Xian Yuzhong said: "Although Li Xiang is deeply blocked in the city, his love and hatred are not visible on his face, and he does everything without leaking, it doesn't mean that everyone around him is flawless. Is this an opportunity tonight?
Li Musheng's group of yamen, this time they played a trick called fishing in the sea of ​​lights.In downtown Chang'an, a woman from a good family was publicly abducted.The evidence is conclusive. If the censors were asked to read his book, the discipline Li Xiang would not be able to walk around. "

Yang Guozhong shook his head and said: "Li Shilang himself has been a censor, and he is very clear about the lethality of the impeachment of the admonisher. When he first took office as the Zhongshu Ling, he gave all the admonitors and speech officials a blow: "Now the Lord of Ming Dynasty Above all, the ministers will have no time to obey, and Wuyong will talk too much! Don't you see the horses standing upright? Eat three grades of food, and reprimand them as soon as they shout, what a regret!'

These censors have been feared by him all these years, but anyone who disobeys his wishes will be dismissed from office at the slightest and imprisoned at the worst.Never dare to join him.Besides, even if this matter is true, it is his son who committed crimes. At most, the Holy Majesty scolded him a few words and told him to go home and discipline the child severely, which could not cure the serious crime. "

Xian Yuzhong said, "Then what if Li Musheng is sued for mobilizing the Jinwu Guard army without permission?"

Yang Guozhong said: "The Jinwu Guard itself has the responsibility of patrolling the law and order and defending the capital. It is not considered exceeding the authority to receive a report from Li Xiang's son and lead troops to arrest suspects."

Xianyu Zhongtong frowned, and said, "Won't that be a waste of tonight's event?"

Yang Guozhong said: "Since the fish is biting the hook, it cannot be easily unhooked."

……

After Xianyu Zhongtong left, Yang Guozhong said to the maid, "Quickly call Third Madam to meet me in the study."

After a while, a middle-aged woman with her hair full of jewels and emeralds walked quickly into the study.She is tall and slender, and she should have been pretty when she was young, but she has snake eyes, a mouth like fire, high-profile eyebrows and prominent cheekbones.When the eyes moved, the eyes showed whiteness, and it seemed that he was a selfish, cold, mean and unkind person.

After listening to Yang Guozhong's retelling, the third lady pondered for a moment, then suddenly sneered and said, "My lord, have you forgotten how Li Xiangguo planned Wei Jian's treason case back then?"

……

Wei Jian was the elder brother of the Crown Princess at that time, and was very favored by the Holy Majesty, so he was given the titles of Silver Qing Guanglu Doctor and Zuo Sanqi Chang Attendant.

The great general Huangfu Weiming had a good relationship with Prince Li Heng and Wei Jian since he was a child. He was the governor of Hexi and Longyou at that time.General Huangfu was dissatisfied with Li Linfu's formation of cliques for personal gain, causing disasters to the government and the public.Taking the opportunity of returning to Beijing to face the saint, he denounced Li Xiang's crimes of arbitrarily taking power, admonishing the saint, and deposing Li Linfu.

These two people were the ones Li Linfu wanted to deal with quickly.

When Huangfu Weiming returned to Beijing, it happened to be the Lantern Festival.Li Linfu judged that it was rare for Huangfu Weiming to return to Beijing. As the prince and Wei Jian's children, he would definitely take advantage of the festival to travel with the prince and Wei Jian, so he sent Yushi Zhongcheng Yang Shenjin to watch secretly.

As expected, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the fifth year of Tianbao, on the night of the Yuan Dynasty, the crown prince invited Wei Jian to enjoy the lantern together.Afterwards, Wei Jian left the prince, and had a long secret talk with Huangfu Weiming in a secluded place.

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Shenjin and Li Linfu impeached Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming in an attempt to support the crown prince, launch a coup, depose the emperor, and usurp the throne!

Of these three people, one is a Jiedu envoy with tens of thousands of soldiers, one is the eldest brother-in-law of the prince, and the other is the middle-aged prince who is waiting to ascend the throne!The relationship is subtle and intriguing.Once trapped by someone using a mechanism, there is no way to argue.

When it comes to supreme power, those in power always prefer to believe in what they have, rather than believe in what they don't have.Even if you are a relative of the emperor, a prince, or a general, to the emperor, even if you have been wronged, who can afford to be wronged? !
Xuanzong Longyan was furious.Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming were ordered to be imprisoned, and the three divisions will interrogate them.In the end, the prince Li Heng was forced to divorce the princess, and the prime ministers Li Shizhi, Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming and others were exiled.A year later, Li Shizhi, Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming and dozens of people were sent to death in exile, almost uprooting the power of the prince from the government and the public.

……

This bloody case shocked the government and the public, and it was Li Linfu's proud work.How could Yang Guozhong not remember.He couldn't help shivering.

There was a cruel light in the eyes of the third lady, and she sneered: "My lord, although the son of Prime Minister Li is hurting the heavens and justice, he is only against the emperor, and he cannot shake the foundation of the country. At most, he can be scolded for absurd nonsense. The only way to do it is to do it to him. , to offend the dragon scale." After finishing speaking, he leaned closer to Yang Guozhong and whispered for a while.

After hearing this, Yang Guozhong grinned grimly.Shout out: "Come on!"

　Notes:
　　The following text is excerpted from "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"

　　I am from a cold family, once the fate of the pepper house is here, I don’t know where the tax driver is, but I can’t get my name in the end.

　　Li Xiangfan only hoped that his achievements would come from his own right, and those who were favored by his superiors and who would be forced by his position would do everything possible to get rid of them.You should especially avoid scholars of literature, who may be kind to you if you are positive, but you will be trapped by yin if you talk sweetly.

　　Now that the lord of the Ming Dynasty is above, the ministers will have no time to follow suit, so there is no need to talk too much!Don't you guys see the horses standing upright?If you eat three grades of ingredients, you will be reprimanded at once, what a regret!
