The next day, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting.

On the Imperial Palace, the monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and in the center of the Ming Dynasty's power, the atmosphere was cold as if the frontier was snowy, which made people shudder.

Zhu Youxiao looked around the stairs coldly, and saw that half of the ministers came wearing tattered patches from many years ago, and did not say a word.

Everyone below seemed to have a thousand thoughts in their hearts, and after meeting the emperor's cold gaze, almost all chose to hang their heads and dodge.

Only the left capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court climbed the dragon highly, holding his head high, facing Zhu Youxiao's eyes.

His face was full of abnormal flushing, and he seemed to be infinitely dissatisfied with the emperor in front of him.

"Aren't you always yelling at me on weekdays?" Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, "What's the matter, you're dumb today?" ”

"What did I tell you on the day of the Prisoner Sacrifice Ceremony?" Zhu Youxiao rebuked in a fierce voice:

"I said that each of you only takes out some, which is enough for the soldiers and civilians of Phi Island to eat for half a year, or even longer."

"How did you promise me at the time? How much grain have you taken out now? Zhu Youxiao suddenly got up, pointed to a person in front of him, and said:

"-Gao Panlong!"

"On weekdays, you don't talk much about your Qingliu name, right? Then I ask you, what is your explanation for the rice noodles that Jinyiwei unintentionally searched from your house! ”

After that, a secret performance presented by Luo Yang, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, was thrown at Gao Panlong's feet by Zhu Youxiao.

Everyone knows that the emperor threw this out after speaking, so that his courtiers could take a good look.

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!" Gao Panlong held his neck up, still with a stiff mouth.

Immediately, he glanced at the secret music with contempt, and sneered a few times, without the slightest intention of wanting to take it.

The emperor's little tricks, he had already seen them clearly.

"Good, good!" Zhu Youxiao laughed angrily, "You don't bother to look at it, then I will pick it up and read it to you!" ”

“…”

Not long after, after Zhu Youxiao finished reading the last word, he slapped Gao Panlong's face with the secret music splitting his head and face, and sneered:

"Gao Aiqing, how many more times do I have to ask you before you can give me and the soldiers of the frontier a satisfactory reply?"

Hearing the words of the frontier soldiers, Gao Panlong's mouth moved.

Next, his voice was completely out of balance, and he argued strongly: "The country has been peaceful for a long time, and all affairs are accumulated, and the ministers dare not slack off for a day, so as to worry about the night today..."

"All this food at home is ready for the people in the disaster area. Minister, have a clear conscience! ”

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he sneered a few times: "According to what Aiqing said, next, shouldn't it be said that I don't come to the court and ignore the government, so that disasters have been going on for many years, and millions of dollars have been paid?" ”

Gao Panlong did not panic in the slightest, and said calmly: "The minister does not dare!" ”

"Don't you dare ——?" Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao seemed to have heard a big joke, and sneered:

"Each of you keeps saying that you don't dare, what you think in your heart, what you actually do, which one is not bold!"

At this time, Liu Zongzhou, the director of the Criminal Department, suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty wants to punish the ministers for not giving food to the border army, but the minister wants to ask Your Majesty, the people in the disaster area are displaced, where do they need these grains more than the border army with millions of salaries?"

Before Zhu Youxiao could speak, another person stood up to defend Gao Panlong.

"At the beginning, His Majesty did not ask us and other ministers for their opinions, and sent the Hakka out of the palace without permission, and bought a restaurant for this evil daughter. In this matter, does Your Majesty also have to give an explanation to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty! ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's heart was cold, and he gave the Hakka family money to let her run a restaurant, isn't that his own business?

These sons of bitches raised can even complain about this on the emperor's head.

"Last year, Your Majesty tried to protect Xiong Tingbi through Liaodong, and now a few months have passed, the city has not been restored, and Shenyang has been lost once!"

"If you lose the first time, you will have a second time!"

"The minister dares to ask Your Majesty, if Shenyang is lost again, what should Xiong Tingbi do!?"

The ministers of Donglin, who were silent and speechless, jumped out one after another at this time, and impassionedly asked for old things, and the Ke family and Xiong Tingbi became their self-protection brands.

When the ministers' voices were a little weaker, Yu Shi Jiang Bingqian cleared his throat and shouted:

"The Liaozuo army has been defeated, and the city is restored, which is useless, and Xiong Tingbi is humiliated by the Liaodong Jinglu, and he should be punished according to the law! I implore Your Majesty to preside over the overall situation and make the canonical punishment clear! ”

When the words landed, half of the Wenchen knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The ministers implore Your Majesty to preside over the overall situation and punish the canon!" ”

"Xiong Tingbi, according to the law, you should be punished!"

Wei Zhongxian, who had been watching the play next to him, realized that something was wrong, and his expression changed.

This Donglin party member is afraid that he already knows that the emperor is going to take Gao Panlong this time, and they formed a rope, and in an instant, in front of the angry emperor, they once again mastered the situation.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the ministers under the steps, and after a while, he smiled dismally.

The biggest sinner in the world seems to have been struggling to maintain himself in the Ming Dynasty, and these in front of him are all unborn heroes.

"Xiong Tingbi lost Shenyang's crime, I will personally ask for it, but you, the lord of the king and the lord of the country, have done nothing except to impeach the feudal officials!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao sneered a few more times: "Jiang Bingqian, you blindly betray the public and private parties, do you really think you don't know?!" ”

Wei Zhongxian was anxious, in his opinion, today's matter, the emperor obviously fell behind.

Those Donglin party members cover each other, and the emperor does not blame the public when he sees the law, which is to pick up the soft pinch of the persimmon first.

Can the Donglin Party agree?

With Wei Zhongxian's understanding of them, the emperor let Gao Panlong go and wanted to take Jiang Bingqian down the steps, but they would not only not agree, but would also intensify it.

At that time, if the emperor still insisted on going his own way, I am afraid that it would be a big mistake!

So the question is, do you carry this pot or not?

Almost for a moment, he made up his mind and glanced at Gu Bingqian, a scholar.

The emperor once said to himself that "there is me", so today, it is time for him to say to the emperor, "there are slaves and maids"!

Just when the Donglin Party thought it was proud, Gu Bingqian strode out of the ranks, shook his body and said: "The minister impeached Yu Shi Jiang Bingqian!" ”

At this time, the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty turned from the emperor's body to this side.

And listen to Gu Bingqian said quietly: "Your Majesty, Jiang Bingqian, the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, is a protégé of Gao Panlong!" ”

Only this sentence was revealed, which set off an uproar.

The protégé saved the master, and even caused half of the court to scramble for it, not to mention whether the emperor really wanted to ask for the guilt, just this one, Donglin formed a party, and it was already solid!

Everyone in the Donglin Party knows it in private, but it is really brought to the surface as a "party", or it starts from Gu Bingqian's revelation.

It can be expected that Gu Bingqian's sitting, Donglin scholars, and officials forming a party will cause an uproar in the Daming civil and political circles.

And he himself will be hacked by the so-called "clear streams" all over the world.

It is true that Gu Bingqian has his own selfish intentions this time, but in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, this is the courtier he needs at this moment.

Wei Zhongxian just stood quietly from beginning to end, and when he saw the Donglin Party people admonishing him, a big stone in his heart had already landed.

Today, the emperor won.

There was silence in the Imperial Palace for a long time, Zhu Youxiao sneered a few times, then picked up a copy of the Donglin Party's recital, glanced at it twice, and threw it down the stairs in disgust.

"Qiangang is arbitrary, I don't want to be arbitrary, but whenever I have a holy oracle, which time did you not push back?"

Zhu Youxiao slapped the imperial case, stood up suddenly, glanced at the ministers, and said loudly: "You are really my good Hanlin, good bachelor!" ”

After a few words, the Donglin Party had nothing to say.

At this time, Gu Bingqian, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward again and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the law is not merciful, Jiang Bingqian and Gao Panlong should be punished for their crimes!" ”

When the words landed, Cui Chengxiu, the squire of the military department, and other ministers who had been said to be "eunuchs" came out one after another, and said in unison:

"The ministers ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to kill Jiang Bingqian and Gao Panlong, and punish them properly!"
