Chapter 180
How did Emperor Guo die? There is no answer.? Everyone doubted Yan Wenying, but they were just suspicious and could not find any evidence. The most intriguing thing was Zhao Zhen's attitude. It was obvious that he sent someone to visit Empress Guo first to lead to the subsequent incident. However, when Empress Guo died, he only expressed his grief and was buried with the ritual of the queen, but he did not intend to pursue Yan Wenying.
During this period, it happened to be a sacrifice to the sky in the southern suburbs. Zhao Zhen only received the news of Empress Guo's death afterwards.
Zhao Zhen’s grief was really sad. It was inevitable that he and Empress Guo’s young couple would be bumpy. Empress Guo’s temperament was too strong, especially by using Empress Liu to suppress Zhao Zhen and make him feel resentful. But things changed, and the youth’s spirit also passed with time. Zhao Zhen turned around and thought about it again. Empress Guo actually had no sin, and the conflict with him was nothing more than a quarrel between the young couple. Now Empress Cao is gentle and virtuous, but she has more etiquette and less warmth between the husband and wife. At this time, she naturally remembered the good things about Empress Guo. But if it was because of Empress Guo’s death, it would be inappropriate to deal with Yan Wenying, the most powerful in the palace without clear evidence, and the matter would be delayed.
The biggest reason for the Emperor Renzong in history was praised by later generations, especially after the Southern Song Dynasty, was his wisdom in handling the government. Although he had no great achievements, the most important thing was that he had no major mistakes, especially compared with the Emperor Taoist Emperor who made the country a mess, this kind of harmony was rare. However, in history, the harem of Emperor Renzong has always been one of the opposite examples of the emperors of the Song Dynasty. I won’t talk about the deposed queen. When there were queens, I would always let other women be buried with the ritual of the queen, and almost made two queens join together. I was too doting on my children and constantly making trouble.
Because of his special identity, Xu Ping knew more about the matters of the palace than ordinary officials and felt more deeply. To a large extent, Zhao Zhen tried to tolerate officials in the outer court and tried to be a legendary good emperor. He would not listen to the opinions of ministers in the inner court and let his own temperament. If it were an ordinary family, it would not be a big deal, but in the imperial family, it would be strange if there was no trouble.
Seeing Yan Shu leaving in a hurry, Yang Gao asked Xu Ping in a low voice: "Du Cao, how should we respond to this matter? It is inappropriate for our Xijing officials not to speak out if they have such a big incident in the court."
Xu Ping said: "What response? The newspaper has not said anything, why do we interrupt! I honestly express my gratitude first, and I will spend some time and wait until there is further news."
Later, the Nanjiao recommended all officials to be enthroned. Xu Ping's marquis's marquis' increased number of households with actual titles, but the official titles did not move. However, Xu Zheng, who had been unemployed, was promoted to another official position and now he became the chief minister of the hall. After the founding marquis' marquis met with the titles but did not advance to the titles and entered the town. When the number of households with actual titles increased to a certain level, the marquis could be promoted to the founding county duke, and then the founding county duke, and continued to be promoted.
However, once he is the magistrate, he will usually be promoted to the Duke, and Xu Ping doesn't know why he will be granted the Duke.
After hearing Xu Ping's words, Yang Gao, Wang Gongchen and others looked at each other and returned to the official hall obediently.
Yan Wen should be the eyewitness of Lu Yijian in the palace, and everyone knows that, except for hiding it from an emperor Zhao Zhen. This is because Zhao Zhen believes in Lu Yijian, and others report to him, but he can't get any evidence. Of course, he doesn't believe it. With this opportunity, the people in the court who are not in dealing with Lu Yijian, even some people who are dependent on Lu Yijian but are upright but do not rub sand in their eyes. They will inevitably chase Yan Wen and will not let him go easily. Although the queen who poisoned the death of the queen has been deposed, even if there is Lu Yijian in the outside court, it is a miracle that Yan Wen should be able to escape.
Xu Ping was not in the capital and was not clear about the specific situation. At this time, he could not get involved. When the officials in the court found clues, it would not be too late to beat the dog in the water.
Be cautious when taking action, and you will be beaten to death if you hit the dog. As long as you expel Yan Wenying from the palace, one of Lu Yijian's arms will be cut off. With this opportunity, Xu Ping at least drove Yan Wenying out of the capital.
The officials of Jingxi Road remained silent about the sudden death of the deposed Empress Guo. Only Wang Yaochen, the Zhijixian Academy, submitted a memorial in the name of the Left-behind Office, requesting that the doctor who gave Empress Guo be treated, but the memorial was suppressed by the Political Affairs Hall and was not sent to the palace.
Five days later, the court newspaper was sent to Luoyang again, and the Censorate opened a breakthrough.
At this time, the person who knew the Censorate was Gao Ruonai and Yao Zhongsun. Yao Zhongsun was the son of Yao Ye, the top scholar in the Dazhong Xiangfu period. He was the one who won the top scholar last time. The poem "After you are a Jinshi, you will be in the Phoenix Pool in one fell swoop." He added two sentences, "You see Yao Ye and Liang Gu, you will not be able to be a court official." Yao Ye said. After Yao Ye became the top scholar, he died soon after he became the top scholar. He finally wrote a book called Zulang, but he did not have the court official. Fortunately, his son was successful, and Yao Zhongsun was promoted to the Jinshi again and became a Jinshi in the living room.
Gao Ruone and Yao Zhongsun submitted a memorial to impeach Yan Wenying, which contained a detail. One night before the southern suburbs, Zhao Zhen ordered to stay in Taimiao the next day. Yan Wenying scolded the medical officer, and many people heard it. As a result, Empress Guo died the next day. Everyone present suspected that Yan Wenying ordered the medical officer to poison and poison Empress Guo to death.
It is difficult for others to impeach officials with such details, so the Censorate is suitable. They are reported and they can not reveal the source of the news. Yan Wen should have a motive for murder. If this detail matches the facts, it needs to be said more.
When the memorial of the Censorate went up, officials in the capital reported one after another, demanding severe punishment of Yan Wenying.
Xu Ping took the court newspaper, looked at it for a long time, shook his head and sighed. After looking at it, he did not see the memorials of the medical officers and Yan Wenying who asked for strict review of the time. The officials who wrote the letter were all just to deal with Yan Wenying. The death of Empress Guo had become a political incident.
Of course, it is difficult to investigate the queen's poisoning. It would be fine if she was abolished. When she was buried, Zhao Zhen ordered the queen to be polite and could not open the coffin again. Without this most critical evidence, the case could not be found out.
He gathered Yang Gao, Wang Gongchen and others, and Xu Ping showed them the court report and said in a deep voice: "Yan Wen should rely on his favor and behave illegally. When I was in the capital, I heard that he often forged edicts to do things for himself without any scruples. This time, he was involved in the death of Empress Guo, which was simply horrifying! Our Transport Office will report a joint report to severely punish this evil thief!"
Wang Gongchen said: "Gao Ruonai is a man of a rich and simple person, and Xiang Wu said nothing. In his memorial, Yan Wenying had some behaviors, and he must be wrong! Such evil thieves are not enough to redeem their sins unless they die!"
