Chapter 8 surgery

That night, several ministers discussed the abolition of the establishment in Wuji's mansion, including Wuji's close friends.Late that afternoon, I heard that Zhongshu ordered Liu Shi to be dismissed.Liu Shi is the uncle of Queen Wang.From this, it can be seen that Wu Shi is serious about doing it. Wuji said, "Liu Shi was dismissed!" Then he asked Chu Suiliang, "What shall we do tomorrow?" "What should we do? Of course, insist and not give in. My responsibilities are clearly in front of me, without compromise." Chang'an Ling Pei Xingjian was as angry.He is proficient in the principles of mathematics, yin and yang, and knows the way of fortune and misfortune."If this kind of thing is allowed to happen, it will be the beginning of destruction," he said.

The next morning, the situation seemed tense.When everyone was waiting to go in, they heard that Pei Xingjian (later a famous general) had been dismissed again.Because Yuan Gongyu was also present at the party in Wuji Mansion last night, after the meeting, he quickly told Mrs. Yang, Wu's mother, what Pei Xingjian had said. Chu Suiliang was very sad."That's another one," said he, and calmly he told the rest that he must put a stop to such measures, or he would resign and go into seclusion, or be exiled--which he didn't mind .What he did, I knew clearly in my heart. The ministers filed into the court again, with tense and serious faces.Gaozong quoted Mencius's words: "There are three unfilial acts, and having no offspring is the greatest. Queen Wang and Empress did not give birth to a boy for me. Concubine Wu Chen gave birth to a boy. My will has been decided."

Chu Suiliang stepped forward and kowtowed under the throne.Holding an ivory wat in his hand. "It is my duty to remind Your Majesty of the late emperor's last words. The words I promised to the late Emperor cannot be forgotten. If the sacred will has been decided, I have nothing to say. Now I will return the imperial wat to Your Majesty. Please forgive me. Sin, that's all I can do." He put the court wat in front of the throne and kowtowed on the ground to show his strong resistance to the decree. Gaozong was quite surprised.Suiliang had an arrogant attitude and a rough tone.

Suddenly, a sharp and ear-piercing voice came from behind the curtain: "Slay this old thief!" Although it was a woman's voice, it was not feminine, and could be heard even above the court. Wuji said: "Because of his duty, Suiliang has to speak, and no crime can be added." Emperor Gaozong ordered: "Pull it out!" Suddenly, they dispersed like yesterday.Chu Suiliang was demoted to be the governor of Tanzhou, which is a small county in the mountains far away in Hunan.Suiliang took office and left with a clean conscience, no shame in the middle, and no complaints.As for the future, it is still unknown.
