Chapter 15 The 14th round of rumors that the emperor tried to govern and chased away the good ministers and princesses to gain power

In order not to be the prince, Li Chengqi begged his father every day, and went on a hunger strike for several days.In this way, Li Dan was helpless, so on June 27, he ordered Li Longji, the third son of the emperor, to be the crown prince. Of course, Li Longji had to resign, and asked his eldest brother Li Chengqi to be crown prince one after another.After so many times, Li Chengqi sent someone to call Li Longji into the mansion, and then propped up his weak body and said, "Third brother, are you worthy of my hunger strike for several days because of your resignation?" Li Longji wept and said: "The elder brother should take the reserve position, but if the elder brother doesn't do it, there is still the second brother. What virtue and ability do I have? I really dare not follow orders."

At that time, Li Chengyi and other three brothers were standing by. Li Chengyi was naturally angry when he saw Li Longji pretending to be here.However, the four of them have already negotiated, and today they will jointly persuade Li Longji to agree, so according to the anger in his heart, he persuaded: "Third brother, this is the intention of our brothers. You can't push it any longer, and you must ascend the throne as soon as possible. In the future, our brothers Definitely dear, I will assist you in doing good things." Li Chengqi said: "Among our brothers, only the third brother can do great things. The killing of Webster this time enabled the father to become a great treasure. Except for the third brother, who else has this ability? The reserve needs a sage to live in, father The Empress, I also hope that the third brother can make Tang Zuoye great, and we brothers can be blessed. Third brother, don't push it any further, do you want the eldest brother to die to show his ambition, so you can take the position just now?"

Li Longye also said: "Third brother, this is the common intention of our brothers, so don't refuse any more." When Li Longji reached this situation, he couldn't push it any further. Seeing the brothers showing true feelings, he was moved, so he fell in front of Li Chengqi, bursting into tears and said: "I will remember the kindness of my brother and brothers for the rest of my life. No matter what, I will usurp the throne. I swear in front of my elder brother today that this reserve is shared by our brothers, and Longji has no choice but to come forward to take it. All in all, Longji will not dare to lose money to his brothers in the future."

Li Chengqi showed a smile on his face and said: "That's very good. We have been taught by our father that no matter when and where, brotherly love is always the same. Since ancient times, brotherly killing each other has happened repeatedly. If we can do this, we can spread the word Later generations will regard it as a good name." All the brothers spoke sincerely and praised Li Chengqi as a role model. The most difficult thing to grasp in a person's life is himself. If one can recognize one's talents and match one's desires with them, then one is a sober person and can live a happy life.Li Chengqi's reluctance to be the crown prince was certainly due to his fear of Li Longji's aggression, but he was able to judge the situation and recognize his own position. This kind of open-minded state of mind is often difficult for ordinary people.In fact, during the time of Empress Zetian, Li Dan succeeded Li Xian as emperor, and Li Chengqi was named prince.Li Chengqi had already had the experience of the crown prince, and he was still able to restrain his unlimited desires, and resolutely gave up the reserve position to Li Longji. This kind of perseverance is even more rare.

On July 20, Li Dan held a grand appointment ceremony at Chengtianmen.In the previous seven days, ceremonies such as divination of the date, announcement of Yuanqiu, announcement of Fangze, and announcement of the Taimiao had already been held. On that day, the ritual officer read aloud the book of orders from Linxuan beside Li Dan. Li Longji was dressed in a gown crown, with red shoes on his feet, and a deer and jade sword hanging on his waist. He took the crown prince's golden seal and Zuochunfang seal from Li Dan, and then accepted the congratulations of all officials. At that time, a few auspicious clouds suddenly floated over the palace city in the clear sky.When Si Tianjian saw it, he hurriedly showed it to Li Dan to watch, and he saw a few auspicious clouds covering the palace city, and they would not leave for a long time.Li Dan was overjoyed and ordered that the yuan be changed from this day onwards. Because of Jingyun's auspiciousness, the year name was "Jingyun", and he ordered an amnesty for the world.

Li Chengqi was also compensated for his meritorious deeds. Li Dan granted him the titles of governor of Yongzhou, governor of Yangzhou, and prince and grand teacher, ranking him among the three divisions at once. Li Dan accepted the suggestion of Princess Taiping and Li Longji, recalled the people they recommended to Beijing, and conferred official positions one by one. Among the six ministers of the three provinces, Wei Anshi was the secretary of the Zhongshu province at that time, Xiao Zhizhong was the minister of the province, and Yao Chong was the left servant of the minister.Among the six ministries of Shangshu Province, Guo Yuanzhen served as Minister of the Ministry of War, and also knew the third grade of Tongzhongshu; Cen Xi was the minister of the Ministry of Punishment; Regarding the matter of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang said that he was the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

Dou Huaizhen and Lu Zangyong were not well-known. Although Li Dan recalled them to Beijing, he only granted Dou Huaizhen the title of eunuch Shaoqing and Lu Zangyong the title of Shangshu Youcheng, both of whom were insignificant officials.From this point of view, the person recommended by Princess Taiping is at a disadvantage. The governors of the three provinces are all prime ministers, and the three ranks of Tongzhong Shumen and those who are in charge of the maintenance are all prime ministers. They are all qualified to enter the political affairs hall for discussion.Liu Youqiu and Cui Riyong were able to participate in the maintenance of the aircraft, so they were listed as prime ministers.Judging from the composition of the Zhengshitang, the old subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion such as Yao Chong, Guo Yuanzhen and others really had the upper hand, and the direct descendant of Princess Taiping was nothing but Xiao Zhizhong.

On this day, the whip was fired three times, and Li Dan ascended the throne to preside over the court meeting.Li Dan took the lead and said: "My dear friends, now that Sanlang is the crown prince and all the officials take office in order, it's time to do some things. I told Wei Gong the day before yesterday and asked him to preside over the political affairs hall to discuss this matter." Discuss. Duke Wei, how did your discussion go?" Wei Anshi played to the crowd: "Your Majesty, the Political Affairs Hall has discussed several times, and there are a few things that need to be decided by Your Majesty."

"Well, tell me." "The first thing is that many years ago, the government was in chaos, and it was necessary to honor the righteous and deprive the guilty. The Queen of Heaven has contributed to the country, and she can be honored as the Queen of Heaven. As for Wu, Webster and others, they should For example, Wu Sansi, Wu Chongxun, etc. should exhume their graves and expose their corpses, and exile others. As for the old prince Zhongjun, his title should be restored, and the ministers and others plan to make him a savage prince. I don’t know if it is possible. In addition, Xue Jinghui, Yan Yanfan, Cui Xuanwei, Zhang Jianzhi, Yuan Shuji, Li Duozuo and other crimes, restore their official titles and attack their descendants."

Li Dan replied: "That's very good, Zhunzhao. Have you discussed how to deal with Wei Shuren and rebellious common people?" "It's been discussed. The ministers think that although Wei Shuren is the late emperor, she is guilty and cannot be buried with the late emperor." Li Dan nodded in agreement, and said: "Okay, such a rebellious person is really not suitable to be in the same mausoleum with the late emperor. You can choose another cemetery and bury him with ceremonies. You can give Wei Shuren the gift of empress and concubine. Although it is not good to wrap children, after all It’s a princess, so let’s bury her with the rites of a princess, and Shangguan Wan’er will be buried with the rites of a concubine.”

Wei Anshi said: "This is His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness, and the ministers respectfully abide by it." Li Dan said again: "That Cui Wan who was thrown to death by Zong Chuke should be commended." "After the discussion, I would like to ask His Majesty to posthumously present him as an admonishing doctor to show his virtue." "Zu Zou. Wei Shuren and Zong Chuke controlled the government at that time. Cui Wan was not afraid of power, and he insisted on admonishing despite difficulties. He was quite like Wei Zheng. Such a person should be a role model for our dynasty. Dear friends, I hope you all It is my good fortune to learn from Cui Wan and act faithfully." The officials bowed and agreed. Li Longji, as the prince at this time, is the closest to his father.Looking at this scene, it seemed that he didn't know the father a little bit.For many years, my father was taciturn and seemed to have no worries about everything. Now that he has just become the emperor, he immediately has the energy to work hard. In this way, is it possible that his previous words and deeds were a hidden strategy? Wei Anshi reported again: "The second thing is to practice Qingming politics according to the story of Zhenguan. Your Majesty, the political style has been corrupted before, and I feel that it is hard to get back. If you want to do things, you have to sort out thousands of things and make them come true one by one. For example, during the Zhenguan period, there were only more than 600 officials in the court, but now there are only a thousand "Xiefeng officials"? When the ministers and others discussed the matter, they believed that the Ministry of Finance had the greatest responsibility, so Yao Pushe was pushed to preside over the matter." Li Dan said: "I will play it. Yao Qing, this matter is very important, and you must do it with all your strength." Yao Chong came out of the class and said: "I would like to abide by your majesty's holy words, and I will definitely handle this matter well." "How do you want to do this?" "Your Majesty, at the beginning of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong affirmed four things, one is to eliminate extravagance and save money; Use these four things to revitalize the affairs of the court, so that you can grasp the general outline. The minister has ordered the six departments to follow the meaning of these four things, and then according to the duties of the department, through comparison, list the detailed rules, and make further efforts to rectify." "Okay, when will you list the details?" "I think it will be more than a month." "Yueyu? It's a bit slow. You have to urge the six departments to get them out quickly. Nowadays, people in the world are eager to cure things. If you do things slowly, you will miss important things." "I understand that I will urge them to fight at night and finish it quickly." Li Longji looked at his father's anxious expression, and felt even more unfamiliar with his father.Father has always been slow-tempered, and now he will become anxious. In fact, Li Dan's current behavior is really normal. When he is alive, if he encounters a time when he can make a contribution, he is willing to try to prove his ability.Although Li Dan has a calm temperament, he is also a wise person after all. He has seen the chaos of Webster's previous power from the politics of cruel officials. He has long hated these chaos and wanted to rectify them. After that, the monarch and his ministers discussed there for a long time, and the topics were mostly about how to rectify the government affairs.Xiao Zhizhong just echoed the voice that day, and did not take the initiative to speak.He didn't take the matter of rectifying the government seriously, thinking that just one "official official" would be a huge problem.Even though this was done in Li Xian's era, you, Li Dan, are Li Xian's younger brother and are still the king of the Tang Dynasty. How can you say that you don't accept your account?If the salaries of "Xianfeng officials" are abolished, then who will compensate for the money for buying officials at that time? Xiao Zhizhong thought that if the emperor blatantly abolished the "Xianfeng officials", then the capital would be shaken like a major earthquake. After Li Longji became the crown prince, he immediately moved from Xingqingfang to the East Palace.In the afternoon of this day, Liu Youqiu and Ma Sizong went to the East Palace to meet the prince together, and they told Li Longji about the recent rumors in the market. These rumors are all aimed at Li Longji, some of which are very unbearable. Ma Sizong said: "Before His Highness was appointed, there were rumors in the capital. I sent someone to inquire, and found that this rumor was mainly in the family of officials, mainly saying that His Highness is not the eldest son, nor is he a descendant, so he should not be crowned prince. After hearing this, I thought to myself, what these people are talking about is the truth, maybe they don’t know the process of King Song’s resignation, so let them talk about it first. I thought that after the emperor appointed His Highness as the crown prince, these rumors would disappear without attack.” Liu Youqiu said: "Sizong and I met to discuss this matter, and feel that the matter is urgent and cannot be left alone." Li Longji said: "Well, Sizong, you go first." Ma Sizong said: "Who knows that after Linxuan's appointment, these rumors have not stopped, and they have become more and more unbearable. Grandma, I am completely dazzled this time. Your Highness, I repeat these words, you must not be angry." "Go ahead." "Some people say that the reason why the king of Song resigned from the throne was because His Royal Highness used force to force him. They said it vividly, saying that Ge Fushun and I followed His Highness, with millions of cavalry behind us, surrounded the Palace of King Song, and then Your Highness threatened King Song with a knife." Liu Youqiu said: "I heard it is even more interesting, saying that we took King Song into the Ten Thousand Cavalry Battalion, and then persecuted him with a knife." Ma Sizong continued: "There are also people who said that His Highness cried to His Majesty for several days, threatening His Majesty to insist on becoming the crown prince. They also fabricated His Highness's original words, which are definitely scoundrels." "How did they make up my words?" "They said that His Highness met the Holy Majesty and threatened him: 'If I am the crown prince, everything will be fine. If not, I will immediately make another palace change and become the emperor myself.'" Li Longji was not angry when he heard this, and said with a slight smile: "In this way, wouldn't I become a heinous person?" Liu Youqiu said: "Your Highness, these nonsense stories are certainly absurd, but the rumors are spreading, the common people don't know what's going on, and even good people add fuel and jealousy. I'm afraid that the wind will get stronger and worse, and it may not be good for Your Highness." Ma Sizong said: "That's right, I saw those guys talking all over the place, so I wanted to arrest them and beat them up. However, there are too many people who talk, and they can't be caught no matter what." Li Longji said: "I see. Tell me, who doesn't want me to be the prince?" Of course Liu Youqiu knew the answer in his heart, but Ma Sizong didn't quite understand it. He said bluntly: "Hmph, those exiles probably did it. They used to be domineering by virtue of the Empress Dowager Wei, and His Highness led us to drive them out. These people are resentful and have nothing to do, so they can only ask for some lip service." Li Longji didn't want to continue this topic, and said: "Forget it, we don't care about it, these rumors will eventually reach the ears of the father, and he will definitely have a way to deal with it. Sizong, after I entered the East Palace, I have not had much contact with you It's convenient, do you often meet up?" Ma Sizong said: "There were two small gatherings, and the atmosphere was much duller without His Highness and Brother Liu present." Li Longji said: "Brother Liu, take a chance and invite them to have a drink together. I have something to say." Ma Sizong said: "What do you want to say, Your Highness? It's okay to tell my younger brother first." Li Longji said: "You have made great achievements, and you must not rely on it to be arrogant. Many people told me that the soldiers of Wanqi have been really domineering recently, and they are rushing on the street, and even looting. Sizong, You have made great achievements, if you are proud of it, these achievements will be wiped out. You can tell Ge Fushun and the others to restrain their subordinates and stick to their duties." Liu Youqiu nodded and said: "Your Highness is right, people tend to lose their minds when they are proud. I have been reviewing my words and deeds in recent days, and I am indeed a little irritable. Sizong, it seems that no matter what time it is, people cannot take credit for themselves. We should be cautious .” Ma Sizong didn't think so, and said: "Why are we so complacent? But drinking some wine to have a good time will not be successful, and life will not be as smooth as before? Well, since His Highness said it, I will pay attention to it, and I will also pass on the truth Talk to them." Li Longji said: "We were all unknown before, but after this incident, we became famous all over the world, and we have stood on top of the waves since then. Sizong, you must know that there are countless pairs of eyes watching us behind us, so we are more serious than before. Have fear." Ma Sizong nodded in agreement. Li Longji said again: "You and them are both serving in the army now. You can't rely on your merits, and don't leave the army at will. You must stick to your duties. Brother Shao Jing's experience is right in front of you. He has done it for you." Isn’t being a prime minister the same as being a local governor?” This is the order of the prince, Ma Sizong put away his laughing face, and bowed to accept the order. Princess Taiping is very annoying these days because of two things that annoy her: Saburo Longji really became the prince, which makes her very upset; As a servant, she knows that other than the Ministry of Works, other official positions are insignificant, and those old officials in the former prime minister's mansion occupy important positions one after another. She feels that the emperor's brother did not give her enough face. Li Longji has become the crown prince, and seeing Dalang Li Chengqi's resolute reluctance to be the reserve, it seems that such a situation will be difficult to shake in the short term.Princess Taiping felt dissatisfied, so she ordered people to go out to spread rumors. There have been many rumors in the inner capital recently, all due to Princess Taiping.She thought in her heart, with the emperor's temperament that always retreats and avoids disasters, if he can't withstand the pressure of rumors and has an idea of ​​Yi Chu in his heart, it is not impossible. As for how to change the pattern of important ministers in the court, this matter is much more complicated and needs to be carefully planned.Just as Liu Youqiu and Ma Sizong were entering the East Palace, Princess Taiping sent someone to call Xiao Zhizhong into the palace. As soon as Xiao Zhizhong sat down, Princess Taiping hurriedly asked: "How are those two things going?" Xiao Zhizhong shook his head and sighed: "One thing is going well, but the other thing, alas, is still the same as the beginning of the year." "Please tell me the detailed process." "After hearing the princess's words, the subordinate officials summoned Cen Xi into the mansion, and told him the compliments the princess had said to the Holy Majesty, so that he was awarded the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. When Cen Xi heard the words, he was immediately grateful, and said that he would pay a special visit to the princess to express his gratitude. " Princess Taiping had a smile on her face and said, "Okay, I just want to meet him." "The lower official said to him that the princess is dear to the sage, and whenever the sage encounters a major event, he will first ask 'whether the princess knows', which shows the position of the princess in the heart of the sage. Cen Xi is quite interesting, saying that he will follow the princess in this life Always be loyal." In fact, Xiao Zhizhong only spoke half of what he said. Since Li Longji became the crown prince, when the ministers addressed Li Dan alone, Li Dan would definitely ask first: "Does the princess know about this?" He answered in the affirmative After that, ask again, "Does Saburo know?" If you get an affirmative answer, Li Dan will definitely agree to this matter. Xiao Zhizhong also said: "Cen Xi said that day that if the princess agrees, he can impeach Cui Riyong again and drive him out of the capital with confidence." Princess Taiping smiled and said: "Okay, this person is very knowledgeable. Cui Riyong used to follow Zong Chuke, and there must be many faults. If Cen Xi can pull him down, he is probably sure. Xiao Gong, this person has even pulled Saburo's followers, It is suspected of asking for credit for coming to me, does he know that I don't like Saburo?" "He impeached Zhong Shaojing, and the princess praised and recommended her. Of course he can understand the princess's mind. Princess, people's brains are very bright now, and they can often guess the general idea from a small matter. By the way, the current market The rumors became more and more fierce, and some people even said that this was ordered by the princess." In fact, these rumors are spreading, and Xiao Zhizhong is also responsible for them.Instigated by Princess Taiping, he used to use some indistinct words to fuel the flames.Xiao Zhizhong and Li Longji have no enmity or grudge, but if he is determined to follow Princess Taiping, then the master's will is his own thoughts, and he will naturally hit wherever he points. Princess Taiping dismissed it, and said: "Let them talk. The so-called rumors are groundless words. Why should they be true? Well, you can tell Cen Xi to let him choose the time to drive Cui Riyong away. " "Princess, can we recruit Cui Riyong?" Princess Taiping shook her head and refused: "How can you know the sincerity of such a capricious person? If he belongs to me, will he fight back at a critical moment? Forget it, let's not cause this trouble." She paused After a while, he said again, "You can take some money here and give it to Cen Xi on my behalf. This person has been a petty official for many years, and he probably has little money in his pocket. Now that he is a minister, the house should also be changed." Xiao Zhizhong said: "The princess cares about us, and I would like to thank the princess on his behalf. I feel really uneasy when the princess rewards people with money and things." He said this, and he probably got a lot of money and things from Princess Taiping every day. "What's the point. You've also seen that Brother Huang has rewarded me with a lot of food recently. You say, what's the use of me asking for so much money? Why don't you all spend it together. By the way, what do you say to Wei Anshi?" "This old thief is still reticent, especially in the past. This time, he didn't take money from the princess, and he even got sexual. He said a lot of nasty things, and the officials couldn't bear to repeat them." "Don't reveal a word, tell me in detail." "He first refused to accept money and things, and said: 'I have a salary, why should I accept other people's money and things? You said this is a reward from the princess. This is against the regulations of the court. I am a minister of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how honorable Princess Taiping is, she is a princess after all, so she is not eligible for rewards." Look, princess, these words made me choke. Princess Taiping turned pale and asked, "What else did he say?" "After that, he earnestly warned me, saying that I should serve the Holy Majesty as a servant, and I should not use other thoughts. He didn't let me run more into the princess' mansion. One sentence was the most annoying." "How did he say?" "He said that His Majesty recently appointed a new crown prince, so besides being loyal to His Majesty, the ministers must also be loyal to the Crown Prince. If you deviate from this track, you have the heart of disobedience." "Hmph, this old thief, he thinks that now that he has climbed a high branch like the emperor's brother, he can have nothing to worry about. Duke Xiao, what else is he talking about?" "After that, he persuaded me a lot, saying that now that the troubled times are over, we should follow the Holy Majesty to govern the country well, and we should not have other thoughts. He also said the most outrageous thing, saying that women should be the worst in politics, which is really breaking the rules. He said so Didn’t Queen Zetian also be mentioned in it?” "Don't you understand the true meaning of this old thief? He is actually talking about me, telling you not to follow me anymore. This old thief seems to be impatient." "Actually, the princess doesn't need to care too much about this person, as long as the princess can speak up in front of the saint, don't bother with him." Princess Taiping shook her head and said, "Duke Xiao, how can you say such immature words after you have been in office for many years? Now the political affairs hall is controlled by Wei Anshi, and there are Yao Chong, Song Jing and the prince's relatives waving the flag and shouting. What's the use? Does it matter whether it is a big or small matter, do you need me to drum up my tongue in front of the emperor? I am afraid that after a long time, the emperor will get bored." After hearing Princess Taiping's reprimand, Xiao Zhizhong didn't dare to say anything.He knew that although this princess was a woman, her insight and plan were much stronger than that of her imperial brother, and this was the fundamental reason why Xiao Zhizhong relentlessly followed Princess Taiping.Xiao Zhizhong was in troubled times, and he knew the benefits of following the strong ones. After the death of Empress Zetian, he had his sights on the two powerful women, Empress Wei and Princess Taiping, but he didn't pay attention to the two emperors, Li Xian and Li Dan. , Now that Empress Wei is dead, he is determined to follow Princess Taiping and never fall behind. Princess Taiping was silent for a while, and said: "Xiao Gong, if this person can't be used by me, he is a disaster. We must try to get rid of him." Xiao Zhizhong felt embarrassed, and said: "Princess, this Wei Anshi official has a good reputation, and now he is trusted by the Holy One, with Yao Chong and others around him, it seems difficult to get rid of him." "What's the problem? As long as a person is born in this world, he has to eat, wear, and socialize. Isn't there anything wrong with him? You and I have to pay attention, and we can always find his faults. If Wei Anshi is brought down, Zhong Shuling will If there is a vacancy, you can try to fill it." The Zhongshu Province is mainly responsible for drafting the emperor's orders, and the Menxia Province is responsible for reviewing the emperor's orders drafted by the Zhongshu Province.The governor of the two provinces, Zhong Shuling, and the attendant are both prime ministers, but Zhong Shuling is now in charge of the political affairs hall, and he has the feeling of being the head of the prime minister, so he is respected by people. Xiao Zhizhong frowned, and said: "Princess, today in the court, Yao Chong said that the officials should be rectified. At that time, the lower officials thought that if they did this, the 'Xianfeng officials' would bear the brunt of it. The 'Xianfeng officials' personnel involved The scope is wide, and the inside is tangled and complicated, can we make some articles based on it?" Among the "Xianfeng officials" with thousands of people, hundreds of them were made through Princess Taiping.For this reason, Princess Taiping was absolutely unwilling to abolish the "Xianfengguan". She heard the words and asked: "Are they really determined to abolish it? These damned people will find trouble for nothing." "Yao Chong is in charge of this matter, and Song Jing is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. This matter is a certainty, so there is no escape." Princess Taiping resolutely said: "No way! You can't let them do this. But you can't tell the emperor about it. You should think of a way to make them quit. How about it, Xiao Gong, this matter is up to you Do it. Let me tell you the names of a few people, you can go to them secretly, let them contact secretly, gather all the "Xianfeng officials" and make a big fuss with Song Jing. As long as things get serious, I can go to them in front of the emperor say." Xiao Zhizhong agreed, and said, "This is a great plan. As long as they can't remove the 'slanting officials', many rectification measures will be empty words. If they break their trust in the world, they will lose face in front of the Holy One. Bird's plan." While they were talking, a servant came into the hall and said: "Princess, someone from the palace has passed on the emperor's decree, and Princess Xuan enters the palace to have an audience." Princess Taiping nodded and said: "They came just in time, I was about to enter the palace to meet the emperor brother. Xiaogong, let's go. By the way, you are looking for a caring speaker these days, it may be useful recently." Xiao Zhizhong nodded in agreement. After Princess Taiping entered the palace, she went straight to the Taiji Hall, where Li Dan was waiting.After Princess Taiping entered the palace, she said angrily: "Brother Huang hurriedly summoned my sister, what's the hurry? Even though it's autumn, it's still hot outside, look at the sweat on my body, it's already profuse." Li Dan said with a smile: "Every time I encounter a major event, I want to consult with you. If you find it troublesome, I will ask them to clear out a palace. How about you move in?" Princess Taiping waved her hands again and again, and said: "This matter is absolutely impossible. If I move in, there will be fierce rumors, saying that I have violated the regulations of the court. Aren't we asking for trouble?" Li Dan nodded and said: "You are right, so you will be tired from running more." "It's okay, I'm afraid that if there are too many people, the emperor will bother me. What is the matter that the emperor called me into the palace?" "There is nothing particularly important. There have been a lot of rumors in the market recently, saying that Saburo should not be the crown prince. Has my sister heard about it?" Princess Taiping carefully observed the expression on her brother's face. She may have a guilty conscience and wanted to find out the true meaning of what her brother said.However, Li Dan's face was calm, without any pretense, she slowly replied: "Yes, my sister has heard a lot." "You've heard a lot, why didn't you relay some to me sooner?" "Fourth brother, you know that I support Dalang as the crown prince, and now Sanlang is indeed appointed. If I tell the rumors to the fourth brother, the fourth brother will definitely think that the sister is dissatisfied. If I do this, I will save a lot suspect." "My sister is worrying too much. These rumors are not my sister's words. If you tell me as soon as possible, you can have confidence in your heart earlier, so that you can come up with countermeasures as soon as possible." "How does the fourth brother want to deal with this matter?" "It's very simple, it is to rectify Saburo's name as soon as possible, so as to calm the debate." Princess Taiping nodded and said: "Yes, it should be like this. Fourth brother, is there no other good way?" "Is there any good way? Dalang forced me to die, which made me burnt out. If I was forced to abolish Saburo's position due to rumors, Dalang would probably seek death. Wouldn't I be beaten like a chicken?" Li Dan made his attitude clear, leaving Princess Taiping helpless.Princess Taiping sighed in her heart: people are not as good as heaven, who would have expected Li Chengqi to die and not be the prince?In this way, Li Longji picked a big deal out of thin air.From this point of view, Li Longji's status as the prince is really irreversible, so he has no choice but to let it go.Thinking of this, Princess Taiping sighed softly: "Yeah, I don't know what sin Dalang has committed this time? The matter has come to this point, the only thing we can do is to rectify Sanlang's name. How does fourth brother want to rectify Sanlang's name?" "I would like to invent a book to explain the process of Dalang's resignation and Saburo's credit. If there are any rumors in the future, the spreader must be blamed." "Okay, in this way, there will be no such rumors in the world anymore." After Princess Taiping replied, she suddenly thought of such a simple matter. The emperor's brother can make a book by himself, so why call him into the palace? How about discussing it?Could it be that Brother Huang has any thoughts about himself? Li Dan does have thoughts about his sister, and there are also rumors that her sister is the leader, so the two of them discussed recently, which is to affirm their sincerity to the younger sister. Q.From this point of view, Li Dan is not confused at all, and is quite wise. The matter has been settled, and they will not talk about this topic any more. Princess Taiping made a quick turn in her mind, and said: "Fourth brother, Sanlang is the crown prince, his planning and knowledge are higher than Dalang's, and he is worthy of his responsibility. However, in the section of honesty and respect, Dalang compares Sanlang. For example, in this incident, Sanlang did a good job, but Sanlang didn't reveal a word to us beforehand. His heart is really bold. The fourth brother knows that I liked Sanlang very much before, but with this situation It made me worry a lot.” Li Dan pondered and said: "My sister is right. This son usually does not show his traces, but suddenly he does something daring and reckless. It is really worrying. Knowing a son is like a father. I have taught him many times before, and I always feel that he is not as good as Dalang and the others." It’s safe. As far as this thing is concerned, he instigated some low-level people to act rashly, luckily it succeeded. I have thought about it many times since then, the process is really a fluke, if it fails, we will all be unlucky!” "That's right. Now that he is the prince, he should be more cautious. My sister thought that the fourth brother should choose some prudent people as the prince's tutors to teach him the principles of sages and honesty." "My sister is right. I've thought about it. People like Wei Anshi and Yao Chong behaved prudently and served as important ministers in three dynasties. It might be beneficial for them to know the prince's teacher." Princess Taiping didn't say a word, Li Dan asked after seeing this, "What do you think, sister?" Princess Taiping sighed and said, "Fourth Brother, I'm a little worried. I'm afraid that if I say it, I'll make you angry again." "It's okay for you to speak up, I'm not angry." "Fourth Brother, do you think that the officials of your former Prime Minister's Mansion are really loyal to you?" "They are all upright people, don't they have other people in their hearts?" "Hmph, let's just talk about this Wei Anshi. Outsiders say that this man is upright and has a good official voice, but I don't think so. Since Sanlang became the crown prince, this man has fallen in love with Sanlang and often runs to the East Palace. He looks honest and sincere Treacherous, he is thinking about his own future by doing this! Fourth brother, think about it, you have just ascended the throne, and you are in your prime, Wei Anshi, as your old subordinate, should assist fourth brother wholeheartedly. Being so warm to a new crown prince, doesn't he have any ideas in his mind?" "How does my sister know that Wei Anshi often goes to see Saburo?" "Wang Shiqian, who was signed by my mansion, often went to Sanlang's mansion before, and had a close relationship with a member of Sanlang's mansion. The name of this mansion is very real. Sorry, my sister is unclear. Wei Anshi often associates with Sanlang. This is what Wang Shiqian told my sister. .” Li Dan was thoughtful, but did not say a word. Princess Taiping saw that the emperor was thinking about it, and added fuel to the fire, saying: "Sanlang is indeed quite capable in winning over people. How loyal was Cui Riyong to follow Zong Chuke in the past? , but suddenly switched to Saburo. Fourth brother, among your sons, this son is the most outstanding talent." "Well, I got it. I'll call Wei Anshi now and ask him to draw up the book to stop the rumors, and it will be revealed tomorrow." The next day, book-making really became an invention of the world.Once this system is released, the effect is indeed obvious.In a short time, those rumors suddenly became silent and disappeared without a trace. The hot summer has passed, and after a rain, there is a little more coolness in the air.People bid farewell to the heat, and their mood has become more relaxed.Because the people in the capital are close to the imperial palace, news from the court flows into the public through various channels, and people often feel very good after talking about it.This is due to the fact that Wei Anshi, Yao Chong and others have achieved results in the administration of officials based on the Zhenguan story. People say that the atmosphere of greed for ink has suddenly changed. It has the style of Zhenguan and Yonghui period again. The abolition of "Xianfeng officials" is the highlight of this reform. Song Jing is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Of course, according to the wishes of Wei Anshi and Yao Chong, he will vigorously promote this matter.Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Officials has not yet issued the document to abolish the "Xianfeng officials", so thousands of "Xiefeng officials" came to the front of the official office after hearing the news, and surrounded the gate tightly. . Song Jing had no choice but to come to the gate, and was immediately drowned in the sound of insults. "Xianfeng officials" are awarded officials as long as they are entrusted to the door to get money, and their personnel composition is extremely complicated.Among them are those who had low official positions and searched for the people's fat and anointment, and then tried to get promoted;All in all, these people have to spend money to support the door, and the money varies according to the size of the official position. Song Jing waved his hands and shouted loudly: "How can you hear your yelling clearly? You choose a few people to speak in order." These thousands of people probably had contacted beforehand, and a few leaders sent orders secretly after hearing the words. After a while, the originally turbulent voices gradually subsided.At this time, the three of them took a few steps up the steps of the gate, and Song Jing said, "Okay, it's you guys, tell me your name." "The next official, Zhang Jian, was awarded Shizhong." "The next official, Jia Changfu, was appointed as a member of the same leadership." "Young official Qiu Lide, was awarded the title of inspector." "Okay, let's talk about the reasons why you came to encircle the Ministry of Officials." Zhang Jian said: "We heard that the Ministry of Officials deliberately abolished the official positions of our group of people. Song Shangshu, although many of us have no real positions now, we are also official officials of the country signed by the Emperor himself and appointed by the Ministry of Officials. How can it be easily abolished?" This Jia Changfu was probably a person in the market before, and he spoke rudely, cursing: "Yes, in order to get this official position, how many people did I entrust and how much money did I spend? How can I say that if I don't have it, I will be gone? Song Shangshu, the first emperor is today Brother of the Holy Majesty, the Majesty should admit to what the previous emperor did. If you don’t admit it, I will show you to death. Let me tell you, if you take my money, you should do things for me. If you don’t let me be an official , you have to return the money to me." When Song Jing met such an unreasonable master, it was like a scholar meeting a soldier. He was a little bit dumbfounded, and asked: "At that time, whoever took your money, you went to him. What's the reason for messing around here?" ?” 贾长福瞪起大眼,骂道:“你这个狗官,想赖账啊?朝廷花了我们的钱,那时候明码标价,其他的花费不算,仅官位就花了三十万钱,若不让当官,就该还钱。”下面的人很有同感,又在那里嚷嚷起来。 丘立德看起来还是一位有智识之人,他止住贾长福,然后向下面一挥手,向宋璟说道:“宋尚书,这位贾兄说的话虽糙了一些,毕竟是理儿。下官以为,新君刚刚即位,正是用人的时候,吏部选择这个时机,不分青红皂白一刀砍下,确实很不妥当。宋尚书,请问这是圣上的意思吗?” 宋璟当着大庭广众,无法说废除“斜封官”是皇帝的意思,他在那里踌躇未答,底下人皆认为这是吏部的意思,那么宋璟作为吏部尚书,绝对是罪魁祸首,于是,辱骂声浪再起。 局面为此又僵持了起来。 崔日用是时兼知雍州长史,李成器虽为雍州刺史,只是挂了个名儿,雍州的具体细务皆由崔日用主之。崔日用得知数千名“斜封官”围了吏部衙门,心里十分着急。是时京城治安由雍州府负责,这数千人万一闹腾起来,或者顺势砸了吏部衙门,雍州府若处置不当,即为崔日用之罪。 京城禁兵虽多,然不归雍州府调遣,崔日用的手头上仅有数十名衙役,面对数千人,那是无济于事的。崔日用得闻此讯息后,心中明白要想今日不出事儿,非出兵弹压不可。他三步并成二步,疾步来到兵部衙门前,要求面见兵部尚书郭元振。 郭元振威名播于海内,俨然一代名帅,其相貌生得甚是俊朗,正坐在案前拈笔批阅文书,长髯飘飘,宛如一位饱学名儒在那里升座授徒。闻听崔日用来访,他连身子都没动,低头问道:“崔大人此来,有何要事?” 崔日用毕竟身兼同中书门下三品,即为宰相职,郭元振按理应该出门迎接。他如此大模大样,崔日用心里有气,就自顾自到一侧的长椅上坐定。不过他毕竟忌惮郭元振的威名和皇帝的渊源,就语调平和地将吏部的事儿说了一遍,并提出调三千兵士去弹压。 郭元振听罢,侧头说道:“你就在兵部,当知朝廷规制。你调兵不是小数,应当由皇上下敕才对。” 崔日用道:“是呀,所以想请郭尚书转呈圣上才是。” 郭元振嘿嘿一笑,说道:“你这样一来一去,弄不好那帮人早把吏部衙门拆了。你再去弹压,又有什么用?” “依郭尚书的意思,此事应该怎么办?” “哼,这帮该死的'斜封官',竟然如此猖狂,实在是自己找打。这样吧,我先调给你四千人,你先把他们弹压下去再说。我这就进宫,向圣上讨要调兵敕书。” 崔日用没想到郭元振竟然如此干脆利落,他不待皇帝敕书下来就发兵,真是有天大的胆子。他喜出望外,起身拱手道:“郭尚书果断明快,真是救难于危急关头,我谢谢郭尚书了。” “罢了,别废话了。我就近为你调兵,这样就可来得快一些。” 郭元振就近从各军中调来四千人,他们从四方向吏部衙门汇集,很快将那帮人团团围住。是时,宋璟除了遭受辱骂之外,身上还挨了不少拳头,已然被围在圈内脱身不开。葛福顺带领一千余名万骑兵士从北面卷地而来,最先来到吏部门前。他看到宋璟在那里受辱,心中的怒火“腾”地燃起,当即大骂道:“奶奶的,愈发蹬鼻子上脸了。都是一帮什么玩意儿,竟然敢围殴朝廷大员!左右,只要不弄出人命,给我使劲打!” 这帮万骑兵士皆手执大棒,一个个如狼似虎地闯入人群,抡起大棒驱散人群。其他各军的兵士看到万骑兵士在这里示范,他们也不用招呼,从各个方向杀入人群,就听人群中皮开肉绽的闷响此起彼伏。 葛福顺带领一帮人解救出宋璟,崔日用这时也来到门前,他着急地说道:“葛将军,将人群驱散即可,如此大棒击打,岂不是要酿出大事吗?” 葛福顺一摊双手,说道:“如此局面,如何呼唤他们?只盼这帮家伙赶快逃跑,就可少些皮肉之苦。二位大人,不妨事的,我事先嘱他们不可弄出人命。” 宋璟叹道:“就是不出人命,此事也不小啊。葛将军,你还是要诫约手下不要再打了。” 葛福顺还算听话,急忙把身边人全部派出去,让他们逐个传令,不许再打。 吏部门前于是血流满地,哀号响彻,甚为凄惨。 如此大事儿很快传遍全城。 李隆基入主东宫,举家迁入宫内,身边就多了许多太监和宫女服侍。这样,李隆基除了拥有一套东宫幕僚以外,内侍省在东宫也安排了一系列内侍官职,宫闱丞高力士成为东宫太监之首。 高力士是年三十五岁,生得宽额方脸,肤色白皙,身长六尺五寸,是一个模样俊逸的美男子。他为岭南人,年少时被阉送入宫中,因其性格谨密,且记忆甚好,语出清晰高朗,实为宫中口传诏敕的第一人,由此引起了则天皇后的注意,如今积功被授此职位。 高力士匆匆从内宫赶往东宫,他刚刚得知了吏部门前发生的事儿,所以想最快时间说知给李隆基。 李隆基默默听完了事件的详细过程,然后问道:“此事确实吗?崔日用怎可如此莽撞,这不是替圣上添乱吗?” “此事确实无疑。小人当时正在太极殿,正好看到郭尚书匆匆来去,后来吏部门前大乱,又有人找圣上。此事儿太极殿值日典引知之甚详,也正是他悄悄说与小人的。” “嗯,崔日用这会儿正在忙乱,无法脱身,你去把刘幽求传来。” 高力士躬身退下,急忙去找刘幽求。 李隆基独自在殿内踱步,他觉得此事来得太突然,事先绝无先兆,数千人倏忽之间就一下子集于吏部门前,绝对不是这些人自发地前往。 那么其中肯定会有人暗中策划,若果然如此,这些暗中策划者的道行不浅,其事先保密甚好,事情发动迅速,让宋璟他们措手不及。 明面上来看,这些“斜封官”到吏部闹事是为保住自己的官位,然如此大的举动在朝廷欲整饬吏治的当头发动,那么其背后的意思就不同一般了。李隆基隐约想到,若此事件背后果然有主使人,其目的应该是指向姚崇他们革除积弊的措施。 刘幽求很快来到,李隆基问道:“吏部的事儿,你都知道了?” 刘幽求比高力士所知更多,对此后吏部门前的流血过程知之甚详,他扼要向李隆基说了一遍,然后说道:“崔日用平时也是一个谨细的人儿,此次处置手段甚是粗糙。唉,如此把事情闹大,恐怕于事无补。” “这一次又是葛福顺带领的万骑充当了打手?哼,京城之人肯定对万骑的厌恶又加深了一层。” “是呀,万骑之人自恃立了大功,这一段时间在市肆中常常横暴无法,京城之人怨气很大。” “我刚才在想,这些'斜封官'公然聚众闹事,其背后应该有主使之人。这些'斜封官'想保住官位不假,然主使之人的目的应该不会如此简单。刘兄,你想过此事吗?” 刘幽求冷笑一声,说道:“我想过了。这些'斜封官'当初的受托之人大多被诛,他们惧怕祸连自己,谁敢有如此大的胆子公然闹事?然其中一些人认为至今还有倚靠之人,我说白了,此人正是太平公主。我难定太平公主是否为主使之人,然闹事之人倚其势,可以断定。” 刘幽求想了一下,又说道:“若太平公主为主使之人,也是有迹可寻的。前一段,京城流言纷纷,说殿下不当立为太子,我们知道,她心中不愿意立殿下为太子,因以流言妄图改立;这一次成为主使,那么就是不愿意韦公和姚仆射他们改革弊政。当然,'斜封官'因此不废,她也就保住了那批自己人。” “刘兄,此事已出,估计父皇肯定会大伤脑筋。唉,废掉'斜封官'为迟早之事,姚宋他们有点操之过急了。” “殿下说得不错,这帮人虽受了些皮肉之苦,然万骑加入之后流血满地,京城之人肯定会对他们多了同情,转责万骑棒杀横蛮。唉,如此看来,这个流血场面对'斜封官'而言成了好事。” 李隆基沉默不语。 刘幽求说道:“殿下,我以为你在这些事儿面前须保持沉默。我这段时间一直在想,殿下现在虽为太子,毕竟势单力薄,不可妄动。譬如太平公主现在既有圣上亲爱,又在朝中有许多人脉及耳目,殿下不宜与之正面冲突,须静默蓄势。” 李隆基微笑了一下,说道:“我知道。我现在手中什么都没有,怎敢妄自说话呢?就说我这太子之位,若非大哥以死相拒,倾心相让,我怎能痴心妄想呢?” 刘幽求忧心说道:“下一步,就看圣上如何定性此事了,万一为平京城之人怨愤,我有一个忧心,弄不好崔日用要成替罪之人。” 李隆基道:“不错,此事十有八九。” 高力士这时走进门来,躬身禀道:“殿下,圣上有旨,着殿下速入太极殿议事。” 李旦得知“斜封官”大闹吏部,又准了郭元振之请同意调兵,不想后来酿成流血事件,心里就有些焦虑,遂派人传韦安石入宫议事。 细究李旦的一生,此人在夹缝里生存,练就了谨小慎微的性子,外人常说他生性恬淡,其实为恭维之言。他之所以如此,实在是迫于局势,不得不为。一个人长期如此,心里确实非常安静,也就不想为事所累。今日吏部门前演变成流血事件,他心里马上有预感,觉得麻烦事儿要来了。 韦安石入殿后,李旦让他坐在一侧,然后说道:“韦公,瞧这事儿闹的。废除'斜封官'的诏敕尚未发出,这帮人从何处得来讯息?他们又何从倏忽聚在一起闹事?” 韦安石道:“他们今日聚会,事前毫无先兆,微臣实在不知他们从何处得来讯息。不过此事曾在朝堂上议论过数回,朝臣出外肯定说过此事,因此外泄。” “唉,这些事儿实在无法追究。韦公,如今事儿闹大了,你说说,此事如何收场?” 韦安石道:“陛下,眼前没有其他路可走,只有一条路走到底。他们闹事,无非想保住官位。然这帮人花钱当官,个人又无理政能力,这数千人虚占官位,白拿俸米,若不废之,那么诸多厘改弊政的措施就无法推行。” “我刚才在想,这些'斜封官'人员驳杂,多数人又与朝中官吏有错综复杂的关系。他们这一次被打流血,肯定博得了不少同情。若断然废之,会不会闹出更大的事儿呢?” 韦安石观察到李旦有些退缩之意,心里有些着急,急声道:“陛下,此事万万不可。厘改弊政现在正是紧要关头,若一事退缩则全盘皆输。多年弊政,百姓深受荼毒,正在翘首以盼厘改之,若顾了这数千人的事儿,就失去民心,今后再说厘改弊政,也就无从说起了。” 李旦到了这个时候,绝对开始迟疑起来,他期期艾艾说道:“如此,就把太平公主与太子叫过来,我们一同再议议吧。” 黄门官去叫人的时候,韦安石对李旦过于信任太平公主感到不满,因谏道:“陛下,微臣以为太平公主不宜过问朝政太多。太宗皇帝当时,向来不许外戚与阉宦插手朝政,更不许女儿涉权。经历了这么多年的朝中风云,我朝实应该接受此前教训。陛下,太子已然即位,他断然诛逆拥立陛下,实有相当的智识与谋断,愿陛下亲之信之,可以与其商议大政。” 李旦听到此话,想起了此前太平公主告诫自己的事项,顿心生警觉,说道:“公主能识大体,又善谋断,母后当日曾经多次赞许她。我这次能登御座,多赖公主拥立之功。我向她讨些主意,那是无妨的。” “陛下可能不知,太平公主近来极力安插朝臣,其公主府宛如一个小朝廷。她若单纯向陛下进些忠良之言,那是无妨的;然她如此做,显有外心,陛下不可不防。” 李旦有些恼火,斥道:“韦公,知道'疏不间亲'这句话吗?我敬你重你,然你也不可太过。” “微臣以为,君主应以国家大政为总纲,亲戚之义则为小节,所谓的'疏不间亲',若亲戚之情妨碍国家大政,应该疏之。” 李旦看到韦安石在这里强项不已,心中更恼,说道:“韦公,想不到你果然替三郎说话。看来公主说得对,你们这班昔日相王府属是不是现在倾心三郎,开始疏离我了?” 这句话说得韦安石如五雷轰顶,急忙起身拜道:“微臣不敢。其实陛下这样说,已然坠入太平公主的计策之中。陛下为国君,太子为储君,实为一体,又如何有区别呢?且太子有大功于社稷,其仁明孝友,天下所称。愿陛下勿信谗言,不敢有惑。”言讫,伏倒在地向李旦叩首不已。 李旦心中恼火更甚,本想再斥几句,但听到黄门官喊声,知道公主已到殿前,遂愤愤地说道:“罢了,你起来吧,我知道你的意思。” 韦安石再叩首,然后起身,太平公主恰在此时踏入殿内。她看到这对君臣神情有异,笑问道:“皇兄、韦公,你们在说什么郑重事儿?缘何一脸严肃?” 李旦不愿多说,答道:“我们正说吏部门前的那档子事儿。叫你和三郎过来,正是就此事再商议一回。” 太平公主施施然坐下,悠悠说道:“臣妹也听说此事了。然这帮人中也有我办的事儿,所谓瓜田李下,我还是选择回避吧。”其说话的当儿,李隆基也踏入殿内。 李旦道:“妹子怎能说出这等话来?我若以为你有私心,还用叫你来吗?三郎,你也坐下吧。我们一同商议一下,如何处置这次事件。” 太平公主道:“皇兄,我以为朝廷废除'斜封官'没错。这么一大帮子人无才无德,仅花点钱就成了官人,如何取信于天下呢?我当初也帮他们办了些事儿,然当时大家都在办,我若不办,他们再托别人一样能成。呵呵,我无非想多得些钱而已。现在要厘革旧弊,我绝对赞成,我就是把钱再退还给他们,也不容许他们成为朝廷的绊脚石。” 李隆基和韦安石明白,太平公主现在是撇清自己,李旦却大喜道:“对呀,就该这样。韦公你瞧,我的妹子非不明事理之人。” 太平公主侧头笑道:“三郎新任太子,又素有急智,你以为应该如何处理眼前这件突发事件呢?” 李隆基入殿后一直没有吭声,他现在谨守太子本分,不敢动辄表达自己的意见。现在姑姑来问,他又不能不答。他稍微迟疑了一下,然后小心说道:“如何处置这件事儿,当由父皇和姑姑定之,那是不会错的。” 太平公主笑道:“你又耍聪明了不是?你绕来绕去,又把事儿推到皇兄和我的身上了。哈哈,你昔日为小儿郎时,可以如此油嘴,现在当了太子,再如复往是,那是不成的。” 李旦说道:“对呀,三郎,说说你的想法。” 李隆基衡量眼前三人的心中想法,姑姑口中说支持,心中肯定反对;韦安石由于主持厘革,当日极力废除'斜封官'现在定然坚持;唯父皇心中所想,他实难把握。看到姑姑如此咄咄逼人,又看到韦安石那热切的眼神,遂斟酌道:“姑姑说得对,这些'斜封官'危害太大,须断然废之。然乱象太久,姚仆射他们想用猛药攻之,如此就稍嫌急促一些,应该有些稳妥之法。”此言一出,韦安石眼神里顿现失望之色。 太平公主心中暗道,这个小子什么时候又学会了推搪之法?他说的话左右兼顾,实在圆滑无比,让人抓不住毛病,就暗里狠骂了一句,接口道:“三郎说得对,此事儿应该办,然失于急促就变了样儿。譬如那个崔日用,你调兵维持秩序即可,或者将他们驱散了事,何至于大棒横飞,酿成流血事件,这不是给皇兄添乱吗?” 韦安石听到此话,心道狐狸最终还是露出尾巴,太平公主的实在心思由此彰显无余。她心思如此,那么她在事件过程中,是否也起了推波助澜的作用呢? 李旦说道:“对呀,这个崔日用平时还算稳妥,这一次怎么如此毛糙?也罢,就从大家议,废'斜封官'之事先放一放再说吧。” 韦安石脸现失望之色,他知道,自己这一帮人近来热血沸腾,渴求厘革旧弊再现新气象的努力算是打了水漂,朝政也许很快会恢复旧状。 后一日,针对该事件的奏章如雪片儿似的上奏过来,其中多叙说姚宋等人处政不
