Chapter 674 Kyoto situation, three surname melee

Before Yu Yu went to the vassal, he arranged a dark chess. Chen Xiang took the lead in detecting the truth of the supervision of the imperial empress dowager. Even on the misguided road of competing with Qin Xiang for power, he pulled his horse from the cliff, thought twice, and finally made a decision to determine the truth to the emperor, which surprised the emperor. He even hid this matter, even his right. He didn't tell him, but he was worried that once it was spread, it would attract people's minds, which was not conducive to his arbitrariness. Unexpectedly, he was penetrated by his grandfather.

Under the question, Chen Xiang was actually persuaded by Gu Yuwen.

The emperor immediately asked Gu Yu, "How did Gu Qing know that Ci'an Palace has the power to supervise the government?"

Gu Yuwen kowtowed to the ground: "Weichen can't be sure, but the emperor once discussed with Weichen that he wanted the Qin and Chen people to control the ceremonial department. Weichen was deeply convinced, but later, Wei Shangshu and Wei Shilang were still in charge. Weichen had doubts and secretly paid attention to the people who traveled with the king of Chu, and finally gave Weichen a chance. The king of Chu's cronies In the middle, there was an old friend of Weichen in Mingshan Academy. Although he had not had contact with him for many years, he could not stand the initiative of Weichen. After getting drunk, he inadvertently revealed that the king of Chu had said that with the empress dowager as a guarantee, the officials of the ceremonial department would not change. When Weichen thought about it, he suspected that the empress dowager had obtained the secret edict of the previous emperor's supervision. For saying bluntly, the former emperor When he was ill for a long time, it was really strange that he did not leave an edict to pass on the throne. It should be taboo for the emperor to reuse foreign relatives and leave them as a constraint. However, the king of Chu and the Duke of Wei obviously acted on the intention of the empress dowager. The previous emperor must have known it for a long time, so it is not difficult to infer the supervision of the government.

This analysis not only did not make the emperor dissatisfied, but regarded Gu Yuwen as a capable minister. In fact, the emperor was also worried during that period of time. He secretly moved to make the matter of the supervision of the Empress Dowager on a small scale to get brainstorm, but he was still hesitant. Gu Yuwen knew the truth with clues, which actually relieved the emperor's left. The dilemma of the right.

But Gu Yuwen gave advice again. In his opinion, Chen Xiangxiang is more loyal than Qin Xiang, and Qin Xiang is ambitious. Whether this matter should be known to him should be thought twice.

The emperor is suspicious. In fact, he is also quite vigilant against Qin Xiang. He has never taken it seriously. After all, the Chen family is his mother's family - his wife can be replaced, but his mother can't be replaced. His wife and mother's relatives have never been different from those who care about power.

So Qin Xiang, who was hiding in the drum, used all his strength on the road of "reforming the imperial examination" - he proposed that although the imperial examination was the politics of the previous emperor, it was indeed beneficial to select good talents, but there were still imperfections. For example, poor students can only enter the imperial examination, while the children of the family can still enjoy the shade of grace, so the imperial examination should be limited. It is better to completely provide it to poor students and limit the participation of the children of the family.

On the surface, it seems to strive for more opportunities for poor students. In fact, once implemented, the children of the family can enjoy the shade of grace in a just right way, and there are few opportunities for poor families to become officials. In the long run, the imperial examination system will survive in name only.

Qin Xiang wants to take advantage of this offer to strive for the pursuit of a large number of families and enhance his power.

But Gu Yuwen hit the nail on the head and broke his sinister heart and secretly.

The reason why the emperor did not abolish the imperial examination system finally issued by the previous emperor is that the imperial examination officials can cultivate a batch of fresh blood and are completely used by the emperors. How can Qin Xiang's selfishness be allowed to disturb? Gu Yuwen's opinion once again made the emperor deeply agree.

For Chen Xiang, the influence of the family on the family is far less than that of Qin Xiang. Although he pulls off the cliff in time and looks at the Yan family behind the Empress Dowager, he can't watch the Qin family's power, so he also echoes Gu Yuwen's homage.

In this way, Qin Xiang's sad was put on the shelf by the emperor.

Qin Xiang is not a person with closed ears and eyes. Although Gu Yuwen was careful, Chen Xiang's words and deeds were not very taboo. Soon he was noticed by Qin Xiang. In his opinion, Chen Xiang and Gu Yuwen were originally one party - if it hadn't been for this "Gu Bite Jin", Zhuo Shangshu would have long been the left prime minister. With him and Qin Xiang's eyebrows, Zhongshu Seeing unity is enough to affect the holy decision.

Qin Xiang suddenly hated Gu Yuwen even more.

However, Chen Xiang has shifted his attention to the Yan family - although the Yan family was a hope clan and had many queens in the Eastern Ming Dynasty, but they did not take charge of the army and were not very powerful. That is to say, at the time of the time of the former emperor, the elder brother of Empress Dowager Yan was just a Yongchang, and most of the children of the clan also experienced in the local area, and they had never entered six, more Don't talk about Chinese books.

However, after the death of the emperor, Yongchang's eldest son, the nephew of the Empress Dowager, was awarded the title of Hanlin Bachelor. Although it is only five grades, most of the scholars who entered the imperial examination in the future will experience in Hanlin Academy. With the emperor's attention to the selection of officials in the imperial examination, this institution is bound to become the highest group. There is no doubt that the Hanlin Academy is born. It will become synonymous with the believer of the emperor for a long time, so as the highest officer of the Hanlin Academy, the special status of the position of bachelor is obvious to all, how can the strict family be held?

The emperor should not only rely on the excellent talents selected by the imperial examination to replace the old noble meritorious deeds, but also cannot let the empress dowager, who has the power to supervise the government, win over the "rookie".

With the empress dowager, the Duke's palace of Wei is as stable as a rock, but the empress dowager alone is not worried. Of course, she has to charge her family.

Chen Xiang saw that Qin Xiang's plan failed, so he shifted the direction.

I have fought several hard battles with Yan, and it is difficult to win or lose.

Qin Xiang did not understand why Chen Xiang competed with the Yan family and just stood by. The emperor was angry and gritted his teeth at Qin Xiang's dullness.

However, Qin Xiang soon got Qin Ziruo's biography, and immediately showed his sincerity to the emperor.

So the emperor knew that Qin Zi had made great progress, and his opinion of the girl was raised to another level.

However, Qin Xiang's brain was treachery and slippery. Although he understood that the emperor had not been in power at this time, his family was one step away from the power and the opposition. Although he turned the spearhead in time, he still did not relax his target on Chen Xiang.

After all, the emperor is already in the dragon chair. If Qin and Chen can still make friends on the surface when they are in the hidden mansion, then at this time, the two families have become strong and weak, and they are not far from you and me.

When Qin Xiang did it, he secretly plotted and pushed the Chen family to the front and opened fire directly with the Yan family.

The Empress Dowager was suddenly plotted. Her two nephews who had practiced in the local area were trapped at the same time. One was bullied by the people, and the other was caught by corruption. Therefore, the strict university scholar was also involved in the strict governance of the family and indulgence of her son and nephew, which destroyed his reputation for a moment and became the object of the imperial historian.

However, the Empress Dowager did not panic and began to save herself in an orderly manner, so that the charges of the two nephews were not implemented.

But it is not completely cleaned up, and the situation is very sticky.

Although the Duke of Wei is in charge of military power, he can't threaten civilian officials unless he is determined to make a coup. Although Su Xing is a civil servant, he is still young. He has changed his position since he fought the throne and even has been deprived of his qualification to serve the imperial ink. Similar to leisure, it will naturally have no impact on literary ministers. Although Su Ke is a literary minister, the second master is a typical noble scholar who never participates in the court party struggle and has a limited role. Su Qi was both civil and martial arts. At one time, he became a cabinet bachelor who was as famous as Yu Yu, but at this time, he was also neglected by the emperor. The third master was not as loyal as the Duke of Wei, and he got Yu's understanding. He was at a loss for the problems of the empress dowager, so he could only strategize the connections in his hands and prevent the Yan family's crimes from being implemented.

The Empress Dowager also knows that Su Ming, the fourth master, is a "rookie" and a concubine who has only recently recognized his ancestors. His ability is even more limited. In addition, on the surface, this person is still at odds with the eldest princess. At present, he has become the emperor's backup cronies. If it cannot be exposed, it can be used later.

But the Empress Dowager is not a weak female stream, otherwise the late emperor would not be assured to let her supervise the government. At this time, Yu Yu handed over the secret of the Chen family secretly explored by Tianchawei, so that the Empress Dowager saw the hope of "making a breakout"——

Chen Xiang's eldest daughter, Chen, the current empress dowager of the former emperor and noble concubine, is actually a concubine!

After Chen Xiangwang became a famous family, he was actually a scum who spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife.

Seven years after giving birth to her eldest son, Chen Xiang's wife became pregnant again. At the same time, Chen Xiang's favorite concubine was also pregnant. The two gave birth to a daughter within ten days. In fact, the statement of "each gave birth to a daughter" was not accurate, because the wife gave birth to a "demon fetus", and the fetus was actually "two-headed". Four hands and four feet", and he was still a living baby when he gave birth, which made Chen Xiang panic. He immediately drowned his eldest daughter and claimed to have died - if it's just that, it's okay. After all, this is too scary. If it were another family, it may be the only way.

However, Chen Xiang was confused by his concubine. He not only drowned his eldest daughter, but also let his wife die of "postpartum blood collapse". He also used this as a threat and forced his wife's family to give permission to support the noble concubine - according to the etiquette law, except for the royal family, if the concubine of an ordinary family wants to help, they must strive for the approval of the mother's family.

If the wife's mother's family opposes it, Chen Xiang will announce that the wife gave birth to a "demon fetus", which will make it difficult for the daughter of the in-laws.

However, Chen Xiangzheng's wife's family is not easy to pinch. They bite back and claim that if Chen Xiang breaks his face, they will definitely say that Chen Xiang spoils his wife and slanders his wife.

In the end, Chen Xiang's father came forward to calm people and put your concubine to death, but the daughter of your concubine became the direct daughter of Chen Xiangzheng's wife, and the one who died became a concubine. There is a reason for this - I don't know where a wandering monk came out, claiming that he was not vulgar behind the swaying Chen Tai.

Then Chen Xiang married another girl, who is also a wife and sister. The two families are still in-laws, and the two sides are reunited. This old case is no longer mentioned.

However, the eldest son of his wife was known to hate the noble concubine who forced his biological mother to death, and he has always been worried about the "sister" Empress Dowager Chen.

This eldest son has now served as a mid-term counselor.

In those years, Chen was a young man. When the empress dowager was in her early ten years old, she thought of a way, so that the empress dowager was infected with a bad disease, and the elders of the family had to send the empress dowager to her ancestral home for recuperation.

After reading Yu's secret remonishment, the Empress Dowager sneered: "No wonder."

This made Aunt Ru remember it, secretly knew Wei Zhao, and let her know the prince through Wei Shangshu.

Of course, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager to turn over the old case. Even if it is proved that the Empress Dowager is a commoner, she cannot deprive her of the honor of the biological mother of Heaven. There is a lack of evidence to attack Chen Xiang with the old case. Even the father of the wife who died unjustly cannot stand up to prove it.

However, the empress dowager understood that Chen Shen and the empress dowager were actually separated from each other.

That's very good.

Although Chen Xiang married two legitimate sons later, there are many shortcomings compared with Chen Xiang, that is Chen Xiang. His connections are not as broad as the eldest son. Chen Shen is actually the pillar of the Chen family. However, because the Empress Dowager gave birth to the royal opportunity to give birth to the prince, Chen Sanju had to the family and his own power. Assist Jin Shang.

The empress dowager's plan is to win Chen's discussion and divide the Chen family.

I have to say that the empress dowager's eyes are indeed unique. In fact, Chen Sangui is really angry with his biological father and the empress dowager. Although his biological mother gave birth to a "demon fetus", he was normal. Obviously, this is not the responsibility of the mother alone. If it hadn't been for the noble concubine and Chen Xiang spoiled his wife, the biological mother would not have After losing his life and holding the hatred of killing his mother, how can Chen Sanyi be filial to Chen Xiang and the empress dowager? Helplessly, although he secretly harmed the empress dowager, maybe the empress dowager really had a shelter, but she still let her escape from her ancestral home and was elected as the crown princess, and later became a noble concubine.

Because of family pressure, Chen Shen had to do his best for King Qing.

But at this time, the Empress Dowager stretched out a friendly palm to him, giving him another choice.

In fact, Chen Counselor does not believe that the emperor has the ability to eradicate the Duke of Wei and take over power.

He has actually been watching.

This is also the main reason why the Chen family did not compete with each other when the emperor was still fighting for storage.

Not to mention that at this time, Qin Xiang had completely torn off the mask of loyal ministers and showed his powerful face. Even if the Chen family could defeat the Empress Dowager and Duke Wei, they would live with the Qin family in a blink of an eye.

Once Chen had a better choice, he immediately glowed with old grievances and new worries. Why did he have to die for his mother-slain son?

If it can be supported by the empress dowager, it may be another look, and it will not be so aggrieved.

After Chen's brief swing, the trend towards the Empress Dowager became more and more obvious, and the Yan family had more chance to breathe.

This made the emperor very dissatisfied with the Chen family, so Qin Xiang couldn't help falling into the well.

At present, the situation in Jinyang is like the struggle between Chen, Qin and Yan, which is really like a mess. The Duke of Wei, which was originally at the forefront of the storm, has become idlers.

But another emperor did not ignore the Duke of Wei for this reason.

This is Huang Tao, who has now entered Beijing.
