Daxianguan

Chapter 672

The person who spoke was called Lin Jian, and he and Jiang Boji were of the same breed. When speaking at this moment, it was obvious that they had colluded with each other long ago. The best policy was to amend the law code. Establish rules, in short, to achieve their goals.

This Lin Jian is also a capable person, and the rules and regulations he wrote are also flawless, which can be regarded as comprehensive.When it was introduced this time, it was hard for others to refute it. Although they still felt it was inappropriate, it was right to respect the imperial power and respect the emperor. Although the special legislation was a bit exaggerated, it was passed in the end.

At least, it is better than directly revising the Hajj code.

But who knows, this is the origin of the disaster.

That night, Chu Xian heard the news that Mr. Tong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, had been arrested.

Mr. Tong is familiar with Chu Xian, and also admires him quite a bit. He is upright and upright. Most importantly, he is very talented and has written many articles. In Chu Xian's view, his talent and learning are as high as that of a literary sage.

Chu Xian has a lot of eyes and ears now, and he will soon know what happened. The specific reason is unknown, but it is certain that it was the inner guard of the imperial court who took Mr. Tong away.

Emperor Li Qianlong established the Imperial Imperial Division, the Minister of the Imperial Imperial Division, and the Imperial Internal Guard. They are all masters, and there are even Daoxians in charge.

In other words, Master Tong's sudden arrest must have been instigated by the emperor secretly.

It's not a trivial matter for a third-rank servant to be arrested. After Chu Xian got the news, he immediately sent someone to inform the others, and then left the house overnight.

Xiao Yu is now the Grand Master's Venerable, the head of the Shoufu Pavilion, Chu Xian left the mansion, and rushed directly towards the Grand Master's Mansion.

Obviously, with Xiao Yu's current status, he already knew about Mr. Tong's arrest. After all, Grand Master Xiao Yu couldn't hide the big and small things here in Jingzhou.

Taishifu study.

Several officials who came after hearing the news were sitting here, from the Ministry of Punishment, the Procuratorate, and even the Dongzhu Division. Relatively speaking, Chu Xian's current official position is a bit abrupt here.

But no one objected.

Everyone knows that with Chu Xian's current status, as one of the most trusted people of Grand Master Xiao Yu, it is not unusual for him to appear here.

Obviously, everyone knows nothing about Mr. Tong except that Mr. Tong was taken away by the inner guards of the imperial censor. , directly arresting people without going through the Shoufu Pavilion, is this a direct declaration of war?

Grand Master Xiao Yu listened to the report but didn't speak, neither did Chu Xian.

Chu Xian was thinking about something.

Many things have exceeded Chu Xian's prediction. After all, he has experienced those 30 years in the dream, and Chu Xian can be said to know the future direction of the Holy Dynasty best.

But in fact, since a long time ago, many things have gone differently from what Chu Xian is familiar with, some trivial things will not be mentioned, but the biggest variable lies in the emergence of the will and Li Qianlong's proclaiming emperor.

This did not happen in the dream.

Of course, in the dream, the Picture of Hundred Immortals has never been restored, so Chu Xian has been thinking about this for the past few days. The current situation has changed, and it is different from the dream. Is it because of himself?
If it wasn't for him, it would be impossible for the four painters to restore the picture of the hundred immortals. Even if they had this kind of skill, they wouldn't do it. Chu Xian can be sure of this.

Then if there is no restoration of the Hundred Immortals Map, there will be no edict of the ancestor, and without the edict of the ancestor, no matter how high-minded Li Qianlong is, it is useless, and it is impossible to become emperor.

Therefore, it is not others who caused all this, but oneself.

I should take the blame.

If the holy pilgrimage is in turmoil, I must take this responsibility.

Mr. Tong is the servant of the Ministry of Rites. He once refuted the emperor Li Qianlong at the court meeting before. It is normal to be hated by others. Moreover, Mr. Tong has a righteous temper and is not right about things. Sometimes he will get into trouble. It is not surprising that the other party takes him up.As for today's incident, Chu Xian can be sure that it was planned by Li Qianlong and others for a long time. Of course, with Li Qianlong's ingenuity, the other party wants to fight for power and profit and establish imperial power as respect, so he will not arrest people for no reason. There must be a reason to ask.

There is no need to ask this question.

The problem now is that it is impossible for Li Qianlong to stop here. His purpose is to get rid of the Shoufu Pavilion, sweep away all dissidents, and then truly take over the Holy Dynasty.

Some people may say that since Li Qianlong is quite the emperor and has this ability, let him do it, but the problem is not this, the problem is the imperial system.

Just like Grand Master Lu Yan said, imperial power and monarchy are absolutely unfeasible.

One, two, or even three generations are fine, but as long as one generation fails, it will inevitably cause disaster to the common people. By then, the Holy Dynasty will have formed an imperial system from top to bottom. If you want to innovate, the price will be too high.

That's why Grand Master Lu Yan secretly entrusted Chu Xian to kill the imperial power and monarchy in the cradle no matter what. I believe Grand Master Xiao Yu is also aware of this at present.

After waiting for a while, Yang Zhenqing also came.

Grand Master Yang and Grand Master Xiao Yu did not fight again. After all, the most important thing now is that Li Qianlong, so the two are united together with a tacit understanding. Now, there is no distinction between the Xiao family and the Yang family.

"There is news. Tong Shilang once wrote an article in his early years, which criticized Li Qianlong, and even mentioned the drawbacks and problems of imperial autocracy. They used this excuse to arrest people, saying that Tong Shilang was disrespectful to the emperor. Disrespect to the holy ancestor." Yang Zhenqing said as soon as he came.

It can be seen that Yang Zhenqing's news is also quite well-informed.

"Ridiculous!" Minister of the Ministry of Rites was furious here, he didn't expect that the other party would arrest his subordinates in this name, he was a dignified servant and a respected Taoist.

"In my opinion, the matter is not that simple. I guess they have other so-called criminal evidence in their hands, but everyone knows that this is just to show us." Grand Master Xiao Yu also frowned, thinking about countermeasures as he said. .

Obviously, since the new emperor Li Qianlong dared to let Huang Yusi do this, he must have something to rely on.

Xiao Yu is also worried about one thing, whether this is to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, or to start a full-scale war.

If it's the latter, then it's probably just the beginning, the beginning of the prelude.

Xiao Yu's worries came true.

Not long after Mr. Tong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was captured by the imperial guards, more shocking news came back. In Jingzhou, more than a dozen officials were arrested one after another by the imperial guards. The situation happened almost at the same time in various prefectures. Before the court meeting began, the most accurate news was that hundreds of officials were arrested overnight in various prefectures and prefectures, including Jingzhou.

It was all the internal guards of the imperial censor who were acting. The Ministry of Punishment, the Procuratorate, and even the censors of the states knew nothing about it. Even among the officials who were arrested, there were officials from these three departments.

Some official positions are not low.

Just overnight, people panic.

Huang Yusi not only arrests people, but also controls the family members of officials, in the name of censorship, and if there are no problems, he will not be embarrassed.

But whoever it was, would not feel safe if their home was occupied by a group of murderous internal guards in leather armor with knives. Therefore, the imperial court's move made the officials very dissatisfied.

But Huang Yusi has no intention of reasoning with you at all in doing things. Simply saying that you offend the royal family and blaspheme your ancestors is a crime that is enough to make people go to jail and be convicted.Moreover, the other party always lists the evidence of the crime first, most of which are similar remarks in the articles written by some of these officials, or they have said in public that Huang Yusi can still find witnesses.

Not only that, but the Emperor Yusi even issued an imperial edict, that is, officials at all levels have the right to supervise their superiors and subordinates.

In this way, many people who were originally of bad character and who were very ordinary in officialdom began to have ideas.

After all, this is a way to get ahead. They had no chance before, but now that the new emperor took office, the opportunity has come. After all, the emperor's backer is the emperor.

The edict of the Holy Ancestor, this is not just for fun. If it is an immortal official above, the officials of the Shoufu Pavilion can object, and they have already opposed it, but no one can violate the order of the Holy Ancestor.

So hugging Huang Yusi tightly is like hugging the emperor's thigh tightly, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Naturally, many people began to recall whether their superiors had ever said something disrespectful to the royal family and the emperor. Some people read the books all night, looking for the works of the enemy, to see if there was anything they could make a big fuss about.

Of course, this is all just a later story.

At this court meeting, before the Shoufu Pavilion took the lead in launching the attack, the imperial censor over there had already seized the opportunity to inquire about the crime, and naturally presented the evidence of disrespect and blasphemy of the ancestors in the words and deeds of these arrested officials.

It's hard to be an emperor, and there is no one who does not fall, but sometimes this kind of thing can't be understood literally, but if you force it to rely on the disrespectful royal family, you can rely on it. Of course, most of them are Distorting the facts and distorting black and white, it is as if some officials just wrote a poem with a sentence on it: "The imperial city is cloudy and rainy in April, and it is only when you wake up that you become clear." 'It was originally a very common sentence, but it was interpreted by the imperial court staff as a hope that there would be a funeral in the imperial city, which was disrespectful to the emperor.

And so on, too much.

Rather than punishing the crime, it is better to say that it is making use of the problem and deliberately making things difficult.

Some people thought it was nonsense, but Chu Xian knew very well that Emperor Li Qianlong was extremely smart. What he did was definitely not nonsense, nor was it wantonly showing his power. He did this with a deeper purpose. Of course, there is deterrence, and there is also a display of imperial authority, and more importantly, it is a gesture.

There is also temptation.

Of course, this matter cannot be left to Huang Yusi to mess around. Once this wind blows, the entire Holy Dynasty will inevitably be in chaos. Come out and say that you disrespect your ancestors and the emperor.
