Chapter 507

Looking at the civil and military ministers who spoke all the words, Xiang Zhuang's heart was really indescribable. How long has it been since he tasted the feeling of losing control of the court? I'm afraid it's been more than ten years? It seems that since the national examination was implemented, there have been no uncontrollable events in the court. I don't expect it to happen today.

Xiang Zhuang can tolerate opposition, and even tolerate others scolding him in private, but he must not easily have uncontrollable events in the court...

This principle is not much different from the ideas of the county party secretary and municipal party secretary in later generations. They can tolerate opposition in the Standing Committee, but they will never tolerate other Standing Committee members proposing sudden events beyond their control at the Standing Committee. In this way, the Standing Committee will easily lose control. If it is magnified to a country, the situation in a country will lose control.

Therefore, whether Xiang Zhuang is willing or not, this proposal must be suppressed!

Obviously, some people want to benefit from this matter. If Xiang Zhuang agreed to this matter under pressure from the court officials, it will not only weaken his prestige and increase the arrogance of those people! It will also set an extremely bad precedent. Will these ministers develop habits in the future and put pressure on the king with "one word" at once?

Now it is not the later generations where the world's unification has become a common example, but the late Qin Dynasty when centralization has just emerged. In other words, not only can the power of the king be restricted and restricted, but we must try every means to strengthen the power of the king. Otherwise, even if Xiang Zhuang unified the world, it will soon be divided again.

Therefore, in order to ensure the long-term stability of the country, Xiangzhuang must prepare for the future.

"I will discuss this matter later." Xiang Zhuang said and stood up and left the seat. However, this proposal was put on hold.

However, once the matter of ceasing was put on hold, the matter of moving the capital would be put on hold, because these two things were connected. If Xiangzhuang could not properly resolve the problem of leaving Jiangdong after the capital was moved, those who were hidden behind the scenes would probably not give up. They would definitely incite the ministers to launch wave after wave of offensives.

With Xiang Zhuang's current prestige, it is not a bad idea to overwhelm the ministers with an iron fist, but he doesn't want to do so.

Xiang Zhuang was not afraid of leaving a "tyrant" in history books, but did not want to leave a bad example for his descendants. No matter what, it is bad to kill court officials indiscriminately.

Seeing Xiang Zhuang get up and leave the seat, many ministers were confused. No, if the king really wants to make the crown prince Xiang Zhi the king, how could he put this matter aside? Could it be that he had misunderstood?

In fact, they really had a wrong idea, and Xiangzhuang was not willing to divide the ban.

As a time traveler, Xiang Zhuang also went to middle school before joining the army. He learned allusions such as the Seventh Kings of the Han Dynasty and the Eighth Kings of the Jin Dynasty.

The Seven Kings Rebellion in the early Han Dynasty was due to the strong central government and the super awesome man Zhou Yafu, which caused too much damage to the rule of the Han Dynasty. However, the Eight Kings Rebellion in the early Jin Dynasty broke out directly from the inner court, which eventually led to the rapid demise of the Western Jin Dynasty and caused great damage to the vitality of the Chinese people. From then on, it entered the darkest period of the Five Barbarians invasion of China in history.

Therefore, Xiang Zhuang will never restore the feudal system. Once the feudal system is divided, the prince will be released from the vassal state. In the future, they will inevitably rebel. If they do not release from the outside, they will remain in the capital to gain power. The rapid demise of the Western Jin Dynasty is a lesson for the past!

The grand and lively dynasty ended like this, and the ministers whispered to each other.

Sun Ping, the uncle of the inner-shistor, returned to the mansion and headed straight to the study room in the backyard.

When he entered the door, he greeted his father's uncle Sun Guan. Uncle Sun Ping said excitedly: "Father, you really got it right, but why did you dare to assert that Xiang Zhuang was unwilling to enthrone Xiang Zhi?"

"This is not simple." Shusun Guan said calmly, "If Xiang Zhuang conferred Xiang Zhi next year, Xiang Quan and Xiang Shu will definitely be granted the title of Xiang Wang in the future. In the future, all the countries will be destroyed and rewarded with the ministers, with the contributions of Bishu, Gao Chu, Pang Yu, Meng Feng and others, it is probably impossible to say that it will not be a king. However, does Xiang Zhuang dare to confer Bishu as king?"

"That's true." Uncle Sun Ping said sincerely, "Bi Shu is so capable of fighting, he is simply invincible in the world!"

"Bi Shu is more than just a war?" Shusun Guan said, "He also has a great political vision, but he has no ambition!" After saying this, Shusun Guan said sinisterly, "If Bi Shu can have half of Xiang Zhuang's ambition, the world will be unified in the future, it is really hard to say whether the surname Xiang or Bi is surnamed Xiang."

Shu Sun Ping said: "Even if Bi Shu has no ambition now, I'm afraid it's hard to say in the future?"

Shusun Guan said: "So, Xiang Zhuang must be on guard against him. It is because of this if he doesn't give up his ceremonies."

Uncle Sun Ping said: "It's ridiculous that the man in the palace wants to move the capital to threaten Xiangzhuang to submit, and he is afraid he will be disappointed."

Shusun Guan smiled sinisterly and said, "A woman is a woman after all, how can she understand a man's mind? She thought Xiangzhuang would tolerate the ban on the purpose of moving the capital, but she didn't know that in Xiangzhuang's heart, the ban on the capital was more intolerable than not moving the capital. Hehe, she wanted to use me as a knife, but she was still a little tender."

In the Xiyan Pavilion of Shiman Palace, the prince Xiang Wang held the hem with his left hand and was wiping ink with his right hand. There were lines of beautiful official script left on the public delivery paper spread in front of him.

Although Xiang Wang was only sixteen years old, he was tall and upright. He was more talented than his four brothers, and he was especially good at calligraphy. If he was born in the late Ming Dynasty, he would definitely be a young master of the turbid world who was very popular among prostitutes.

However, in this era, Xiang Wang is not so popular, and his mother especially dislikes it!

As soon as the calligraphy was written, Ying Zhen rushed in angrily, then pulled the public transport paper on the table, tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash basket in a few seconds.

"Mother?!" Xiang Wang was very angry and did not dare to get angry.

"I have known all day long that I can practice calligraphy. What's the use of practicing calligraphy any better?" Ying Zhen ignored Xiang Wang's feelings at all and scolded him, "How many times have you told you that you have to read more books, especially military books, and also learn riding and shooting so that you can go to the battlefield to gain military achievements in the future. If you don't have military achievements, why should you be the king?"

Xiang Wang said angrily: "I don't want to be the king, I just want to practice calligraphy!"

"Random!" Ying Zhen was furious when she heard this, and slapped Xiang Wang with a slap.

This slap immediately stunned Xiang Wang. It was the first time Ying Zhen slapped him in the face. Looking at Ying Zhen, Xiang Wang was stunned when he looked down, and Xiang Wang left without saying a word. Looking at Xiang Wang who was leaving with his head down, Ying Zhen felt uncomfortable. He wanted to call him back and comfort him, but he didn't shout.

Ying Zhen just knew what was discussed in the court today. You are the one who said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Ying Zhen was in this mood at this time. He thought that Xiang Zhuang would make compromises in order to move and enthrone Xiang Zhi as king. In this way, the other princes would have the opportunity to assign the throne as usual, and Xiang Wang was qualified to be king.

However, Xiang Zhuang would rather shelve the proposal to move the capital than divide the ban, which was somewhat beyond Ying Zhen's expectations.

Shusun and other ministers who secretly opposed the movement of the capital did not fight for the palace, which made Ying Zhen even more angry. She originally wanted to achieve her goals through these ministers, but in the end these ministers used her influence and Miaoyi Palace to achieve their goals. This feeling of being played with made her feel extremely annoyed.

And things have been done like this, I still don’t know how to explain it to Miaoyigong afterwards.

Thinking of the anger, Ying Zhen grabbed the paperweight on the desk and threw it hard on the ground.

Xiang Zhuang's face was as deep as water, and he asked Qu Bu, "Old Qu, have you found out?"

After the court dispersed, Xiang Zhuang, who was furious, asked Qu Bucai to thoroughly investigate the ban. Suddenly, the secret whistle and spy at the headquarters of Eumu Ya Ling came out and inquire about it. The efficiency of Eumu Ya's service was indeed not a joke. It took only a few hours to find out all the ins and outs of the matter.

"It's all clear." Qu Bucai said, "The matter started because of Miaoyi Palace, and Shiman Palace participated in it, but the one who actually came forward to contact the officials in the court was Sun Ping, the inner-shistor. "After pausing, Qu Bucai said, "Thirty-six of the officials attached to the enfeoffment have been confirmed to participate, and the rest are to be investigated."

Xiang Zhuang said: "Where are you sure the list of officials involved?"

Qu Bucai immediately took out a list of officials from his arms.

Xiang Zhuang finished reading it, and said with a grim voice: "Okay, they are all officials from Jingjin and Wu County."

At this moment, Xiang Zhuang figured out all the joints. With Yu Ji's nature, it was difficult to do such a thing. Most of the things started because of Ying Zhen, the woman, and Shu Sun Guan, the old owl, took the opportunity to act and take advantage of Ying Zhen and Yu Ji's opportunity to fight for the throne for Xiang Zhi to achieve the goal of stopping him from moving the capital.

After understanding this, Xiang Zhuang felt relieved. As long as the people from the Duke's Mansion and the Lingyin Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion did not participate in it, the situation would be much simpler. Before that, Xiang Zhuang was really worried that the Duke's Mansion, the Lingyin Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion had already participated in this matter deeply. If this were the case, the situation would be complicated.

But then again, although the background of this matter is simple, it is quite troublesome to deal with.

According to the national laws, the officials were of course allowed to be tried by the Tingwei Office, but this matter was obviously not appropriate. If it was a crime to fight for the throne for the crown prince, it would be a crime, which would really be a crime. Moreover, this matter also involved more than 30 Beijing officials. If one of them was not handled well, it would cause turmoil and seriously affect the stability of the government.

But if the Tingwei Mansion is not allowed to be tried, who will be asked to be tried?

Is Ebony Cliff? If the Ebony Cliff is given the authority to interrogate officials, wouldn’t it be a prison for imperial edict?

The so-called imperial prison is a prison that bypasses the Tingwei Mansion or Dali Temple and is directly responsible to the emperor. For example, the notorious Ming Jinyiwei in history is the most classic imperial prison!
