[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Haiban is a rule set by the Tai/Zu. Tai/Zu was the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty. Because of the status of "Tai/Zu's descendants", the later emperors are always shorter than him no matter what, which is contrary to Tai/Zu Statutory decrees are difficult to implement, and often the first fierce and aggressive stumbling block is the group of officials.

This time, there is no exception.

Su Xie's remonstrance was like a stone that stirred up thousands of waves. There were many discussions in the government and the opposition. Most people did not understand. This statement states the possible consequences of lifting the sea ban.Whether the method is direct or euphemistic, in short, they do not agree to cancel the sea ban, let alone introduce things from the West.

But like every major political change in the past dynasties, there are opponents and supporters.

To Tang Yu's surprise, although the number of supporters was not as large as that of opponents, there were quite a few of them.Among them, there are naturally people who are related to Su Xie, but there are many people like Zhong Gu and Wei Rong who seconded the cancellation of the sea ban and who speak from the bottom of their hearts and have no selfish intentions.Tang Yu naturally favored Su Xie, and Haizhou craftsmen couldn't make revolvers, and war with Frankie was imminent. She had to advertise to recruit people, and even set up workshops. The old diehards are no longer realistic.

But the current opposition is like a surging tide, and if one is not careful, it may be drowned by public opinion.

The only way to be anxious is to boil the frog in warm water. At that time, as long as the water is quietly poured out, it will be too late for the conservative ministers to take it back.

Deposing officials has always been easy to reveal the emperor's attitude towards people and current events.About half a month later, the courtiers under Su Xie's sect were relegated one after another, and the mainstay of the reformist group was punished to varying degrees. Everyone thought that Tang Xi had no intention of listening to Su Xie's advice, and public opinion gradually subsided.Unexpectedly, half a month later, the courtiers who had been relegated to a remote place returned to Beijing one after another in their original posts. At the same time, several ministers who strongly opposed Su Xie at the beginning were relegated.

All this changed too fast, no matter which faction, everyone still couldn't hold Tang Yu's mind, so they had to wait for the development of the matter before making a decision.After waiting for half a month, there was no further progress. Everyone only thought that Tang Yu's actions were to check and balance the two factions, lest one family dominate.As everyone knows, during this period, Tang Yu has quietly arranged various places in the court, and has repeatedly employed people who support Su Xie. The difference in rank is only two or three ranks. .

As a result, people who were already vacillating between the two factions, and who had no hope of being promoted, defected one after another and joined the reformist camp.

Although these people were soft-spoken, they somehow alerted the conservatives, realizing that the recent development of things might not be as they thought.However, before they could take measures, another major event suddenly occurred in the DPRK.Xiao Shen, the elder of the three dynasties and the left minister, asked Tang Yu to resign, and wanted to return to his hometown.

Regarding the cancellation of the sea ban, Xiao Shen actually has no obvious opinion of praise or criticism. It stands to reason that he is already old, and he has revealed earlier that he wants to abdicate in favor of a virtuous person.But the conservatives don't think so. They think that the left minister Xiao Shen can restrain the right minister Su Xie. If Xiao Shen resigns, there will be no one in the court to compete with Su Xie. If there is Tang Zhi's instruction, the sea ban will definitely be cancelled. !

The development trend of things is not much different from what they thought.

The sea ban has not yet been abolished, but the successive edicts have obvious political tendencies.

First of all, post a list to recruit craftsmen, regardless of overseas, and the Ministry of Households and Honglu Temple will assist in the management.Secondly, widely set up workshops to develop revolver guns and improve armaments, which are supervised by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War.Thirdly, it is planned to add a subject of studying abroad in the imperial examination. All the top three Jinshi have the opportunity to run for election according to their own wishes and abilities. The specific procedures and regulations are handled by the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial Academy.

As for the position of left prime minister, Tang Yu did not promote Su Xie to fill the position, but promoted a person from the middle school.Moreover, he is only a proxy, if the number is not good, he will be demoted immediately.In this way, the possibility of Su Xie covering the sky with one hand is avoided, and the promotion of conservatives will not be lifted to shoot himself in the foot.

After several edicts were promulgated, the conservatives really couldn't sit still.First it was sarcasm, then it was blunt advice, and later, the bad-tempered person was full of ridicule and abuse in his words, and he almost pointed at Tang Yu's nose and scolded her for forgetting her ancestors.When the emperor came to this position, Tang Yu didn't feel aggrieved, because that's how the first emperor came here at that time, not to mention that he was young and his political achievements were scarce.

She had a good temper, but the queen mother brought her up, and she more or less followed suit. She was a little calm and calm, watching the ministers below the imperial steps blushing and spitting, she just sighed, and gave him a seat, let He took a sip of tea and said slowly, don't be out of breath.

She had good intentions, but she didn't know that the minister lost his mind for a moment, and felt that the emperor didn't take his harsh words to heart at all, and was greatly humiliated.With a wave of his sleeves, he knocked over the teacup handed over by the servant, which was disrespectful. No matter how good-tempered he was, Tang Yu's face immediately sank a bit, but when he stared again, he saw him tremblingly taking off his official hat , knelt down on the ground, covered his face with his sleeves, weeping constantly.Seeing him standing up and slamming straight into the pillars in the hall without hesitation, Tang Yu was in a turmoil and hurriedly slapped the desk and shouted: "Stop him!"

What responded to her was a clear and loud collision sound and the exclamation of the servants in the palace.

On the vermilion pillars, the bright red bloodstains are dotted, and the ministers bumped their heads. How can a flesh and blood stand against this solid hardwood?The blood flowed down and dripped on his blood-stained forehead. His eyes were wide open, bloody inside, and his death was tragic.

Chi Zai was ordered to go to check his breathing, and only then did he reach out his hand to his nose, and then he sat down on the ground in shock. He turned around stiffly, and saw Tang Yu stepping down the imperial steps to a place a few steps away from the corpse. She hurriedly got up again, knelt down in front of her, and kowtowed to persuade: "The appearance is very frightening. I'm afraid I will disturb your majesty. Please avoid it first."

As he said, Qingdai was winking at the palace people, then someone stepped forward and carried the body out of the palace.

Tang Yu looked down at the blood stains on the ground, the scarlet color was particularly glaring, but she kept staring at it.He didn't say a word, just watched in silence, his lips were pursed into a line, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his brows were deeply furrowed.

Although there are only cold-blooded people in this nine-fold palace, people are more or less ruthless than grass and trees, and there will be more or less a square inch of softness.Furthermore, Tang Yu's throne was actually very easy to come by. She had never fought for the heir apparent, so she was naturally inferior to the previous cold-hearted monarchs.In other words, she is soft-hearted after all.

Chi Zai and Qing Dai have served her for many years, their hearts are like a mirror, they want to persuade, but dare not persuade, so they have to look at each other and accompany her in a daze.

After a long time, Tang Yu turned his back, no longer facing the pool of blood, and said in a low voice: "Bury him generously. If there is an eldest son or eldest daughter in the family, he will take over his official position."

Tang Yu had no intention of letting the Queen Mother know about this matter, but it was a matter of human life, and it was caused by political changes, so how could it be kept secret.

When the two shared dinner, the table was full of delicacies, but it seemed like a cold and terrifying corpse appeared in front of them.After barely eating a mouthful of fish, the slippery taste is like sticky blood, and the smell of blood like rust fills the nose, making people sick.Tang Yu really had no appetite, and worried that the queen mother would know, so he picked up half a bowl of white rice and stopped chopsticks.

It was rare for Tang Yu to be so restless, when the Queen Mother suddenly surprised her by saying, "Is Li Chun's funeral arranged properly?"

The queen mother knew that Tang Yu was not surprised, but hearing Li Chun's name at the first glance, her heart was in vain.Then her voice sank: "According to his rank, it has been arranged."

The Empress Dowager nodded, took the hand stove from Lonicera after stopping the chopsticks, warmed her hands and said slowly: "Since that's the case, this matter is over. You should pay attention to whether there are people taking advantage of the gap to cause trouble in the past few days and alienate the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. "Not comforting, but teaching.

She has always been so indifferent, she seems to be treated coldly, but she is not sure how to care.

For those who know each other, no matter how difficult it is to say, you can say it.Tang Yu pondered for a while, and then said: "Aniang, I will definitely carry out this new policy. But if everyone is so pressing and admonishing so hard, I really have a conscience." After all, conservatives including Li Chun are just It's just that the political views are at odds with the monarch, or they have their own selfish intentions, but they must be for Guozuo. In order to remove obstacles, whether they are relegated or deposed, why let them lose their lives?

"It's not enough if you want to innovate. If you want to innovate, you have to abolish the old. If you benefit one side, you will inevitably hurt one side. This matter has always been difficult to balance. Once you make up your mind, you let it go. There is never a struggle without bloodshed or sacrifice. You can exchange a few lives for the peace of the world, why should you blame yourself and feel guilty."

The Empress Dowager speaks softly and is persuasive.The eyebrows are not stained with fine dust, the strength of character is not stained with frost and snow, and I am calm and indifferent even if I am facing the collapse of Mount Tai.She has always had the ability to make people feel at ease, no matter in the past or now, as long as she is in front of her eyes and says a few words, no matter how flustered her heart is, she can gradually calm down.

After receiving a few words of comfort from her, Tang Xi was really relieved a lot. Looking at her slender face under the lamp, he couldn't help asking: "Then do you think I can bring peace in all directions?"

The Queen Mother slightly raised the corners of her lips, and that faint smile, together with her answer, seemed like a few bright stars in the sky falling into Tang Yu's heart, bursting out with a beautiful warmth.she says--

"I believe you."

Li Chun's death remonstrance caused quite a storm in the government and the opposition, and many officials began to be dissatisfied with the New Deal.Due to the implementation of the New Deal, Tang Yu's pro-government ceremony has been postponed again and again, and it seems to be postponed to the end of the year. Although these officials do not know why they have delayed the pro-government ceremony, they feel that they have seized the opportunity and intend to sue the Queen Mother.

Unexpectedly, this winter, the weather was suddenly cold, and the queen mother was so weak that she fell into bed with ailments.

The officials had no choice but to give up, resentful in their hearts, and muttered silently—in any case, when Li Chun crashed to death, the living and living people were present, and recorded a few words truthfully. The emperor will surely have a rare good reputation in history!

How did they know that shortly after the incident happened that day, Sheren, who was in charge of the living note, was summoned by the Queen Mother to the Hall of Changle.

Why did the Empress Dowager summon her so well? The Sheren knew very well, and after saluting, he said calmly: "Your Highness, it is not a minister who is unwilling. In fact, there are rules for things, and the daily notes should be detailed. Even the emperor can't read and delete it in person."

The queen mother smiled lightly and said, "I won't read it, and I won't delete it. I just ask you to add a few words at the beginning of the compilation."

Sheren hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, daily life notes cannot be faked."

"Naturally not to be false." The Empress Dowager said calmly, "'Jingning eight years, the emperor is young, can't get married, and extend his personal administration. And in October, the empress will continue to govern as before'."

These words are indeed true, but once they are added, and later generations understand, it may become that the emperor was young and had no real power, and he listened to the queen mother when he acted. It can be proved that Li Chun was actually forced to death by the queen mother, not emperor.

The bad thing is the Queen Mother's reputation.

Sheren had no choice but to agree, and wrote it down in the daily notes on the spot.

The author has something to say: I have been waiting for a long time... because it is not far away from the end of the text, so I have to write the plot first. I don’t know if this chapter is sugar. (T_T)
