Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 836
After the news of Jingzhou was transmitted back to Jiankang, the atmosphere in the whole city of Taicheng became unprecedentedly oppressive. There was no lack of roads for the ministers to go in and out of. There were not many people who dared to speak loudly at this time, and even private gatherings became more and more depressing. Few, worrying about being misunderstood by others and colluding with each other and causing disaster.

A similar atmosphere hadn't appeared for a long time, and the last time it should have been when Fang Zhen mobilized and besieged Jiangzhou Wang Shu the year before last.But even then, the atmosphere was not as tense as it is now.After all, although there was military chaos at that time, it was still within the controllable range.

But this time, although there was no sign of a military disaster, the news of Jingzhou's change of ownership seemed to weigh heavily on the hearts of the people at that time, fearing that the situation would collapse in an instant.

The reason why there is such a panic situation is that Yu Yi's suddenness is one aspect, and more importantly, the Jingyang or Jingxu Xiangheng that has been working hard to maintain since Nandu has been completely broken!

You must know that Yu Yi, who succeeded Tao Kan, and Xi Jian, who sits in Xuzhou, are relatives by marriage. Although the relationship by marriage does not mean that they can share the same fate and be intimate, but as long as there is a possibility of union with each other, it is a potential threat to the world. .Because in today's Jiangdong, there is no force that can counter the combination of these two towns.As long as a similar situation occurs, the rest will have no room to move around.

Of course, it is not that no one is happy to see such a situation. After all, the Yu family also has many fans. Yu Yi's being able to take charge of Jingzhou not only means that his family has completely come out of the decadence in the early years, but also has a better family status.And after the people of Wu have a sense of unity and self-protection and struggle, they are quite happy with such a result. After all, the Yu family is also a friendly side and will not bring too much pressure to the Wu people.

But once people's identities and statuses are different, their ideas and concepts will also change.After Yu Yi took charge of Jingzhou, whether he can maintain the same attitude as in previous years makes people doubtful.

Generally speaking, everyone in the current situation is still more pessimistic than optimistic.Naturally, this is also because Yu Yi himself is less popular, and people don't think that his ability can control Jingzhou, which is an important town in Shaanxi.The future direction of Jiangdong is still full of variables.

Of course, the most important thing right now is the reaction and attitude of Taiwan to this incident.Is it to strongly oppose and criticize Yu Yi and Tao Kan's behavior of giving and receiving in private, or to admit this situation meekly?
Therefore, everyone is anxiously waiting for the grand court meeting on the first day of June, and wants to see what the attitudes of the auxiliary ministers are.

In this anxious anticipation, Shuori finally arrived.

Before dawn on this day, all the provincial governors in Taiwan with more than [-] shi gathered in the side room outside the front hall of Tai Chi early, waiting for the empress dowager and the emperor to come to court.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely embarrassing, the assistants were all seated separately, even those who had a good relationship didn't get together as in the past, they seldom communicated with each other, and there was no relaxed and casual atmosphere in the past at all.Even the servants who offer meals and so on, are cautious when going in and out, lest they make noise to attract attention.

Zhongshu ordered Chu Chong to sit in the banquet, his face was so gloomy that he almost seeped water, his eyelids were drooped and he didn't look at anyone in the room, his fists were secretly clenched on his knees, his arms trembled frequently.This can be regarded as the one with more exposed emotions. As for the others like Wen Qiao, Shen Chong, Zhuge Hui, etc., their expressions are all dull and tasteless.

Nearly a quarter of an hour had passed since the start of the court meeting, and there was still no news from the court, and the ministers were unavoidably more anxious, especially when Chu Chong heard a few words of reprimand from the servant in a low voice, and sent him to the inner court to inquire.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, the servant hurried in to pass the imperial edict, saying that the Empress Dowager was slightly ill and would not attend the court meeting today, and invited the Taifu to go to the East Hall to discuss affairs and politics.

After hearing these words, there was a rustling and rubbing of robes in the whole hall, and many ministers could no longer stand the oppressive atmosphere, and took advantage of the opportunity of their reverie to adjust their sitting postures a little.Looking at the stage assistants again, Chu Chong's face became more gloomy, while the expressions of others became more lively, especially Shen Chong, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Now that the young monarch is in charge of the country, his own will can be completely ignored, and the attitude of the empress dowager is equivalent to that of the emperor.Although injuries and illnesses are unpredictable, but such a big event happened in the middle school, the empress dowager came to the court to rule, but she didn't see her ministers. This attitude really has a long meaning.

You must know that Yu Yi's trip to Jingzhou this time was a private action, and he did not get the approval of Taicheng's edict at all.This is the most worthy of criticism, even if the person is a direct brother of the empress dowager's mother's family, once the empress dowager comes to court, she has to express her position and reprimand, otherwise the majesty of the court's law will be wiped out.

However, the empress dowager chose to avoid seeing people at such a moment, which shows that she secretly agreed with Yu Yi's actions, so she refused to express her position.As a result, even if the audience wanted to discuss Yu Yi's crimes, they had to take into account the Empress Dowager's attitude.If the empress dowager had completely different voices from those in Taiwan, Yu Yi could even turn around and accuse Taifu of controlling the government and forcing Gong Lingjun!

Of course, Yu Yi is so bold and reckless this time, and it is definitely not that the empress dowager can cover up and indulge her with a tacit attitude.The empress dowager herself did not have the ability to suppress the officials inside and outside, otherwise she would not have adopted such an attitude, and she could have jumped out to support Yu Yi, claiming that she was personally in charge of the court order.

Therefore, she also has reservations about Yu Yi's support. If the next development of the situation is not satisfactory, then the disease will be cured even if it is not good.Yu Liang did harm to the country first, so she didn't dare to risk the disapproval of the world and support her mother's sect to hold power. At most, she was partial in her position.

But even with this partiality, the help that can be provided to Yu Yi is already great.He already has some advantages on the issue of morality and legality that he lacks the most, but in other respects, unless the Taifu all oppose Yu Yi with one word, or Fangzhen, the real power, stands up to express his dissatisfaction with Yu Yi, it will be very difficult. It is difficult to drive him out of Jingzhou.

The ministers had their own thoughts and turned to the East Hall again.This time, Chu Chong no longer remained silent, and directly sat on the seat chairing the meeting, and at the same time directly raised several major issues.

First of all, the first one did not point directly at the current Jingzhou, but Jiangzhou.Such a proposal has fully revealed the resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart.You must know that Jiangzhou and Jingzhou can be regarded as a problem. Tao Kan was in charge of both earlier, and now Tao Kan has arranged Yu Yi as his successor privately. If you don't know what is going on in Jingzhou, Jiangzhou is not easy to discuss.

But if you want to directly discuss Jingzhou, you have to face the issue of Tao Kan's resignation.Tao Kan's resignation has been included in the Zhongshu, and there is also a suggestion to recommend Yu Yi as the governor of Jingzhou. As for Jiangzhou, Taiwan should ask for self-determination.

If you want to respond positively, you have to consider the issue of Tao Kan's honor as an official. Tao Kan is currently serving as a servant, a Taiwei, and the governor of the Qizhou military besides the governor of Jingjiang.Once you become an official, naturally you cannot deprive yourself of all official positions and return home in vain.For example, Lu Ye of Wu County, who returned to his hometown before, is still serving as a servant and General Wei, and Wang Dao, who was kicked out of Taicheng in a panic, still holds the title of Taifu.According to the usual practice, Tao Kan should be a servant and a Taiwei.

Now Chu Hong only takes Jiangzhou one point, but doesn't mention the rest. It seems that he intends to deprive Tao Kan of his honor of becoming an official, in other words, it is a complete negation of Tao Kan!
Of course, this is not to blame for Chu Chong. Although everyone here is happy to see Yu Yi taking charge of Jingzhou, they are also very dissatisfied with Tao Kan's practice of giving and receiving in private.In their view, even if Yu Yi entered the town to seize power, it would be more acceptable than Tao Kan's private abdication.

So when Chu Chong brought up this issue, there were already many people in the meeting who were ready to speak. Since some people broke the rules first, why should they stick to the etiquette process? Jiangzhou is also a big town, and it will naturally be a practical benefit if it can be won over. .

"cough!"

Before everyone opened their mouths, Shen Chong coughed lightly from the table, and then looked around the field for a week. Others were not doing well, but many of the three ministers raised their hands and turned the tablet boards on the table in front of them, expressing their refusal to discuss this problem.

Although Wu people are still at a disadvantage in today's court, there are as many as seven or eight people who are above two thousand stones, plus a few other people who are not Wu people but are close to the Yu family, these people express their views like this , instantly makes people look sideways and vigilant.

Seeing this scene, Chu Chong's eyes were almost shattered. If it weren't for the fact that he would have to be a little scruples about his demeanor under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn't help but smash the tablet at Shen Chong.But even though he had some scruples, the fists on his knees were clenched suddenly, and those who were nearby could even hear the knuckles snapping.

Chu Chong took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and then turned his head to look at Lu Wan, and said: "Pu She Jiang Biao is a high-ranking candidate for human relations, and every time there are many praises and suggestions in Sheji, Jiangzhou is heavy, and it is indispensable for a moment. Do you have any recommendations for Jiangzhou's choice?"

Lu Wan lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about some serious question. It took a while for Chu Chong to wake up after asking the question, with a serious expression on his face: "As Zhongshu said, Jiangzhou has a heavy land, so whether it is safe or not It is related to the peace of the country, so we must be cautious. It is advisable to widely adopt internal and external current discussions, and not to listen to arbitrariness. Fortunately, nowadays, there are many sages standing side by side in the government and the opposition, each with virtue and hope, and discussing the opinions of the public, so naturally the mediocre ones will not steal Use it."

Chu Chong was still listening seriously, but after Lu Wan said this, he closed his mouth, and turned to look at the people in the banquet, with a confident and gratified expression.Seeing this scene, Chu Chong couldn't help cursing inwardly, the old guy was afraid to be the first, and he didn't dare to argue when he was given such an opportunity. No wonder he was overwhelmed by a local tyrant like the Shen family, Wuzong, who had a good reputation in the village On the one hand, it is really their own fault!

　There are two more tonight. . .
