The two old men were invited to the Confucian mansion to read an excerpt, and Guo Zhanshi praised, "It's well written, but the matter of Wang Ji's impeachment is not that important, because he blamed his nephew before, and his reputation in the court was not good. What's the matter, the twenty places in the Imperial Medical Office earn only 2,000 taels of silver, so I'm not afraid of him suing, I just ask the officials of Zhan Shifu to submit a letter of defense, and I don't have to worry about Kong Jijiu."
Kong Jijiu raised his eyelids and looked at him, "Didn't you read the signature later?"
Guo Zhanshi nodded and said: "I saw it, and it was because I saw it that I thought it was unnecessary."
He said: "Although Zhou Man is a member of His Highness, he is also favored in front of His Majesty and Empress. A good knife should be used wisely. There is no need to involve her in such trivial matters."
Kong Jijiu immediately had a feeling of "summer insects can't speak ice". At this moment, he really felt sorry for Zhou Man.
Although Zhou Man didn't say it clearly, but Kong Jijiu went in and out of the Chongwen Hall every day, and heard her whispering with Xiao Yuanzheng. He could tell that Zhou Man was not from the prince, and probably not from the emperor and empress.
That child is still young and has a big heart, so I'm afraid she doesn't care about those people in the palace, you know, she has repeatedly refused to enter the palace to be an imperial physician.
A group of people only see that she gets along well with the prince, and they think she is the prince because they are too close.
Kong Jijiu shook his head slightly, and said: "The zhezi has been sent to Menxia Province, and given to His Majesty, and His Majesty specially asked someone to bring it to me."
Guo Zhan was silent for a moment, and after a long pause, he asked, "What is your majesty's intention?"
After all, Zhao Guogong knew the emperor better, and after pondering for a while, he asked: "Your Majesty, is this trying to clear the way for His Highness?"
Guo Zhanshi was refreshed, staring at the two of them with piercing eyes and asked, "What does this mean? Why does Your Majesty suddenly dote on the prince so much?"
Both Kong Jijiu and Zhao Guogong glanced at Guo Zhanshi, why else
Of course it was because Prince Gong had shown his feet, and now he was detained in the palace, and he had no chance to trouble His Highness the Crown Prince any more.
And the prince is going to be a father;
In the past few months, the prince's temper has been passable, and he has handled things fairly steadily, as if he has returned to the past.
The emperor was not willing to abolish the prince. Before the prince was so absurd, and when he gave up on himself, he was under pressure and was unwilling to abolish the prince. Now that the prince is getting better, he naturally wants to pave the way for the prince.
Obviously Wang Ji was chosen as the chicken, and Zhou Man's book was chosen as the introduction by the emperor. They are naturally knives.
Kill the chicken to warn the monkey, if the monkey is not honest, there will be more disputes in the future.
Kong Jijiu sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on his face. He handed over the paper to Guo Zhan again, "Take a rest for two days, this paper was selected last night, and there must not be many people who know the news now. , so you have two days to prepare."
After Guo Zhan took over the matter, he re-read the notebook and considered where to start.
Kong Jijiu turned back and sat down on the chair, took a cup of tea and said: "Actually, this notebook is very well written. Although the allusions used and the literary talent are not as good, but the scolding is pungent, and the crimes are also listed for you. Come out, the corpse is a vegetarian meal, this is a big taboo for an official."
Guo Zhan still didn't quite understand the matter, "Anyone can write this note, how can Zhou Man write it himself? The princess is about to give birth, so it's not good for her to participate in these things at this time?"
Up to now, I still think that Kong Jijiu and the emperor ordered Zhou Man to do this.
Kong Jijiu glanced at him, and said simply, "Guo Zhan's matter, this book was written by Zhou Man himself, no one instructed her."
Zhao Guogong had a drink secretly with the emperor yesterday afternoon, and he was sure that the emperor had no intention of punishing people like Wang Ji yesterday.
He flipped through the folder in amazement, and said with a smile: "It's not unusual for a woman to have such insight."
After all, it is his subordinate, Kong Jijiu said proudly: "Reading is sensible, she has been familiar with Confucian classics since she was a child, even though she is a woman, she was trained as a scholar, so it is not bad."
Guo Zhanshi glanced at him, although he was not very familiar with Zhou Man, but they both worked in the East Palace, and because the only female official was in their East Palace, those under him often talked about Zhou Man.
He knew that Zhou Man was more religious than Confucianism. He heard that a servant in her East Palace was punished. When she complained about her background, she even taught people to worship the Supreme Lord.
Not to mention, her teacher is also serving as a lecturer in the Eastern Palace. Although she has only met a few times and has not spoken much, Guo Zhan has also learned about it. In terms of the strategy of governing the country, Zhuang Xun admires Taoism and Legalism more.
But this is not the time to fight for merit. Now that I understand the emperor's meaning and I am facing my own position, I naturally have to discuss what to do.
After the discussion, Guo Zhan still couldn't help avoiding Zhao Guogong and quietly asked Kong Jijiu, "Is this really His Majesty's original intention? If his intention is elsewhere, what should I do?"
It implies that if the emperor intends to fish out, and wants to fish out the power of the prince, then the prince will not be able to get away with the crime of forming a party for personal gain.
As Donggong Zhanshi, Guo Zhanshi had to consider the existence of this situation.
Kong Jijiu raised his eyelids and glanced at him when he heard the words, and said: "Master Guo is too worried. His Majesty wants to abolish the crown prince. The first two years or so are opportunities. Why rush to harm the crown prince at this time? What's more, how many people does the crown prince have?" Man, would His Majesty not know?"
Over the past few years, in order to fight against Prince Gong, the prince has played all the cards in his hand. Even because he has no heirs and is moody, he has lost the hearts of many officials and subordinates.
If it is said that Prince Gong and other princes have secret agents Thaksin, but if it is said that the crown prince, he really does not believe it.
"If you are really worried, let the people on the bright side do it, and keep the people in the dark." Kong Jijiu couldn't help asking, "But, is there any people in the East Palace in the dark?"
Guo Zhanshi: ...
Kong Jijiu looked at it and snorted inwardly, it seemed that it was gone.
Guo Zhanshi lowered his eyes, there are still some, but they are not in his hands, but in the prince's hands.
Even he didn't know much about it.
Although Kong Jijiu had a lot of dissatisfaction with the prince, he was still the prince's teacher. If the prince is not good, he may not be able to do anything, but if the prince is well, he will be better.
Moreover, the tallest among the dwarfs, although the prince is not good in various ways, as long as there is a possibility to change, he is still much better than Prince Gong.
So Kong Jijiu also dedicated himself to helping the prince. Therefore, during the two-day holiday, many officials did not have a good time, and everyone was locked in the study to write out the words and sentences.
But Man Bao felt that she had nothing to do with her for the time being, so he went out of the palace excitedly, and after eating a bowl of Zongzi noodles, he was invited by Zhao Guogong's mansion to visit Miss Zhao.
When she left the Zhao Mansion, it happened that Zhao Guogong came back from the outside, he stopped her, looked her up and down for a long time, then smiled and reached out to pat her on the shoulder, saying: "Women don't give in to men."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his youngest son Zhao Liulang coming back from the outside with a whip, and the servant behind him was still carrying a lot of things in his hand.
Zhao Guogong's face fell instantly, and he said to Zhou Man again: "How can a man compare with you."
Man Bao looked at Zhao Guogong in a daze, and Zhao Liulang, who felt that he was stared at inexplicably: ...
