Chapter 1813: Count, you cannot be ungrateful
Cui Qingping insisted that he was just unlucky and was caught by the Emperor as a typical example.
He was not wrong to think so.
The Emperor's starting point, anyone with a brain could see, was not to seek benefits for the people at all, but to point the sword at Xie Changling's party.
Chen Guanfu's mourning period, the vacated position, was taken by Xie Changling; this matter was the fuse.
The Emperor could no longer tolerate it and had to take a position in the Political Affairs Hall. Xie Changling, however, did not give an inch; other things could be compromised, and convenience could be given to the Emperor, but only the Political Affairs Hall was non-negotiable.
Both sides were at daggers drawn, just short of tearing their faces off directly.
Emperor Yuanding had thought countless times about directly summoning the Three Great Camps to the capital and having a ruthless wave. He was suppressed by reason again.
This beginning could not be opened.
Emperor Taixing used force to coerce, forcing the court officials to agree to depose the Crown Prince, a move that left endless trouble. As a result, the late Emperor refused to establish a Crown Prince, and the final result had to be borne by him.
Failing to receive imperial education, after ascending the throne, he wasted two or three years in vain. It gave Xie Changling the opportunity to lay out the court.
Without his own team, imperial power was unable to contend with prime ministerial power. The current Pro-Emperor Faction was just louder in voice. The people in key positions were still Xie's party.
An Emperor without power or influence, even the inner palace, was controlled by others and infiltrated by others.
Whenever he thought of these, Emperor Yuanding hated it so much.
He hated the late Emperor, hated Emperor Taixing, and hated Xie Changling even more.
Why hasn't Xie's old lady died yet!
Therefore, taking advantage of the small morning court, Emperor Yuanding cared about Xie's mother's health condition and immediately ordered Liu Shun to arrange for reliable people to go to the Xie family's ancestral home to visit Xie's mother, accompanied by various rewards.
Xie Changling could not refuse and could only thank the Emperor.
Privately, Emperor Yuanding instructed Liu Shun, "Arrange for a few clever people to follow, and be sure to watch the Xie family closely. If anything unbearable happens to Xie's old lady's condition, I want to know the first time."
Liu Shun bowed to accept the order.
He knew the Emperor's thoughts clearly.
The Emperor wanted Xie's old lady to die! In this way, Minister Xie must observe mourning and absolutely not be allowed to stay in office.
The Xie family's guards were like walls of copper and iron, but they couldn't withstand the Xie family's many people and complicated affairs.
A huge family, living together, was uneven. If you carefully deliberate and distinguish, there will always be times when you can find loopholes.
Huge monsters often perish from infighting.
Emperor Yuanding wanted to start from within the Xie family; this was a good idea.
Although despicable, he couldn't care about much. If he could make Xie Changling roll away, he was willing to bear this little loss of reputation.
Xie Changling was very steady, dealing with all changes with no change. As long as he could hold steady, those below would not clamor and would hold steady with him.
Sun Daoning privately nagged with Chen Guanlou, "It still has to be Minister Xie; the Emperor made successive moves, so despicable, yet Minister Xie didn't get angry at all. If it were me, I would at least curse a few times."
"You are a loyal subject, you wouldn't dare to curse the Emperor." Chen Guanlou teased the other party.
Sun Daoning waved his hands repeatedly. "The Emperor is truly unbearable. In court struggles, how can you hurt parents and elders? If it weren't for the lack of evidence, I would have submitted a memorial."
"You have already determined that the matter was done by the Emperor, what evidence do you still need? You can't impeach the Emperor, can't you impeach Zhao Jichong? I don't believe that the bottom of that person surnamed Zhao is clean, without a pile of black material."
"The Emperor will protect Zhao Jichong."
"The Emperor protects his, you impeach yours, without interfering with each other. During the time of Emperor Taixing, he protected Jiang Tu, but it didn't delay everyone from impeaching Jiang Tu every day."
Sun Daoning was left speechless.
After a while, he simply changed the subject. "Speaking of Jiang Tu, how much money did you collect from him back then?"
Chen Guanlou was shocked and very disdainful. "Old Sun, you aren't, are you? The accounts from more than ten years ago, why are you digging them up? Are you afraid you aren't busy enough?"
"I'm just asking casually, look at how anxious you are. You clearly made a big profit from Jiang Tu."
Chen Guanlou neither admitted nor denied it. "If you have time to dig up old accounts, it's better to spend some energy investigating Zhao Jichong. The old thing came from the Jixia Academy, and there must be a pile of black material."
He had a grudge against the Jixia Academy, and he didn't like any official who came out of the Jixia Academy.
Sun Daoning only said: "This matter still needs deliberation." Then he scolded again, "You are meddling in court affairs. Also, Count of Fanyang, Lü Pu's body is not very good, you pay more attention. Don't let him die in the Heavenly Prison."
"I know. Medical Official Mu has already checked his body, he has a whole body of problems, the most serious is diabetes, and there is also the situation of heart paralysis. There are special people supervising the medication every day."
Old thing, he has all three highs. He can be called an ancestor and needs special people to serve him.
Most of the problems are eaten out.
Chen Guanlou had already ordered to strictly control the diet of Count of Fanyang, Lü Pu, two meals a day, every meal clear soup and light water, meat dishes only eat eggs and beef to supplement protein.
Looking after prisoners is not easy either.
Encountering these powerful people, you have to worry every day.
After chatting with Old Sun, he returned to the Heavenly Prison.
Chen Quan reported that Count of Fanyang, Lü Pu, was scolding his mother every day and made a request to see him.
Chen Guanlou asked, "Why does he want to see me?"
Chen Quan hesitated for a moment. "It might be because of the diet. Count of Fanyang dislikes the food being light and not to his taste."
"A lot of shit all day long."
Chen Guanlou pondered for a while and decided to take a look.
Three-high old man, must not get angry. Don't burst a blood vessel later, with the current medical technology, even if it is Medical Official Mu, it is powerless to return to heaven.
He went down to the Grade A prison and came to the cell where Count of Fanyang, Lü Pu, was held. Across the cell door, he smiled. "Count, have you been living comfortably these few days?"
"Brat, what do you mean? I can't buy food even if I give money, you are engaging in differential treatment. I ask you, is my money not money? Why are you deducting my wine and dishes?"
Chen Guanlou laughed lightly. "Count, please forgive me, I really don't know about this. Or should I go and ask first?"
"Fart! Stop pretending to be crazy and stupid, hoping that I don't understand your routine. I tell you, when I played this set of means, you brat hadn't been born yet. I just ask you, can wine and dishes be provided?"
Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows and smiled, then his face sank. "Sorry, wine and dishes cannot be provided."
"You, you, you, bullying people too much!" Count of Fanyang, Lü Pu, was furious. "Nobles are of the same branch, Chen Guanlou, don't forget your identity."
"It's not that I deliberately want to make things difficult for you, Count. It's that the medical official explained that your body is unwell and your illness is quite serious. You must avoid food, and your diet should be light and gentle. You cannot eat big fish and meat, and you cannot drink alcohol. In order to make your body better, in order for you to live a long life, I have broken my heart and repeatedly exhorted you. I am more filial than your own filial son. Count, you cannot be ungrateful!"
The more Chen Guanlou said, the more severe his tone became, even carrying a bit of disdain and impatience.
Dead old man, no ability, but his temper is quite big.
Opening his mouth and closing his mouth, nobles are of the same branch, acting as an elder in front of him every day. He has to see if he recognizes this elder! ===== CHAPTER 1814 =====
