Chapter 43: Debate in the Temple

First of all, Liu Ru played several political affairs in recent days, and Taizu was accurate one by one.

The officials of the six departments played their respective ministry affairs again, and Taizu listened to it and did not refuse.

About an hour passed, and no more officials played.

An Gonggong wanted to shout routinely, "If there is something to do to play early, there is nothing to roll up the curtain and retreat", I saw that the Qintian supervisor who was at the end of the class was standing out of the queue, and said loudly, "Chen Qintianjian Tang Yu, there is something to play." ”

Everyone knows that the highlight of the day is finally coming.

"Quasi-play."

There was no joy or sorrow on Taizu's indifferent face.

"The Qintian supervisor is supervising the changes in the way of heaven, and a few days ago, Weichen deduced that there will be a vision of the heavenly dog eating the sun in Kyoto at noon today, which is a great omen. The minister does not dare to conceal it, and today it will be played, please ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment. ”

Tang Yu played.

In fact, he had already entered the palace to play Ming Taizu, and he said it again in the palace today, but he was acting according to the rules.

"In your opinion, what should be done about this matter?"

"Your Majesty, this is a major matter related to the fortunes of the country, and the minister does not dare to ignore it. The ministers repeatedly calculated that some of the courtiers in the court were guilty of a crime, which was a sign of great evil, and only by sacrificing these people to Heaven could this matter have a turnaround. ”

Tang Yu replied in a deep voice.

After saying that, he took out a piece of ink paper from his sleeve and read the name on it aloud.

Most of the people on the list are young and talented, and at present, they are only five or six rank in the office, and they are not qualified to enter the government of the DPRK. Only Huang Xuan of Kyoto Prefecture, who is a member of the three grades, is in the Taiji Hall at this time.

Hearing Tang Yu read his name, Huang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then his face was like earth, without saying a word, he gently took off the black yarn on the top of his head, held it in his hand, and knelt in the hall to wear the sin.

In the routine of the Taizheng Dynasty, if a courtier is involved, regardless of whether the crime is true or not, he must first wear the crime in vain and wait for the emperor's decision.

Huang Xuan didn't expect that he would be included in the list of offenders. After thinking about it, I immediately understood that over the years, I had only been loyal to the emperor and grandson, and Prime Minister Liu Ruchang had secretly wooed him many times, but he was just a false and wronged snake, and he did not make a clear statement. I'm afraid that this time, I will be excluded as a dissident.

If Liu Ruchang fabricated other charges, Huang Xuan would be able to defend himself. It's just that this heavenly thing is illusory, and he just wants to argue, but he can't argue, whether he is alive or killed, but between the emperor's thoughts. He didn't expect that he had been cautious in Kyoto Prefecture, but he still fell victim to political struggle, and his heart couldn't help but feel sorrowful.

In a moment, countless thoughts turned in Huang Xuan's heart.

Taizu glanced at him lightly, ignored it for the time being, and said, "Let's discuss it with the secretaries." ”

He did not make his position clear, but handed over the problem to the ministers.

There was silence in the hall, this matter was related to the fortunes of the Taizheng country on the one hand, and the lives of more than ten officials in the DPRK and China on the other, and no one seemed to be willing to take this head first.

After about a cup of tea, Chen Buda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, finally couldn't hold it back and stood up from the class, "Your Majesty, the change in the way of heaven is related to the fortune of the country, so you can't be cautious." Qin Tianjian Tang Yu was loyal to his duties and thoughtful, and the minister thought that it seemed more appropriate to dispose of it according to his performance. ”

Chen Buda took the lead in expressing his position, and the officials of Liu Ruchang's faction were no longer silent, and came out one after another, expressing their agreement with Qin Tianjian's statement.

There are also a small number of ministers who refuse to attach themselves to Liu Ruchang, so this matter is related to the fortunes of the country, and they do not dare to speak out indiscriminately to refute it.

Therefore, for a while, the main hall became a one-sided situation.

"Prime Minister Liu, you are the first assistant, what do you think?"

Taizu did not make a decision immediately, but asked Liu Ruchang, who had been standing silently.

Liu Ruchang pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Back to Your Majesty." The stakes are very high, and it is difficult for the minister to make a decision for a while. The people played by Qin Tianjian and the ministers have taken a closer look, and they are all the pillars of the court. If they were sacrificed to heaven, the court would suffer a great loss. And it seems a bit far-fetched to talk about the crime of committing a crime, which is inevitably the heart of a scholar in the world. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ru paused for a long time, and then continued, "However, the matter of Heavenly Dao is related to the fortune of the country, so we must be extra cautious. We are ministers, and all we think about day and night is how to serve the court and share the emperor's worries. If it is played by Qin Tianjian, in this way, they can turn evil into good fortune, and they can be regarded as contributing to the court, but it is our duty as ministers. ”

"It's a minister who thinks left and right, and it's really difficult to have a way to do both. The minister was stupid, and asked the emperor to make his own decisions. ”

Liu Ruchang is worthy of being an old fox, and this matter was originally written by him. Today on the top of the main hall, he picked himself cleanly, and his words bought many people's hearts.

And Liu Ruchang knows very well that this matter is related to the fortune of the country, and what the fortune of the country is, is the luck of the emperor's family. Since it is the luck of his own family, the emperor naturally knows what to do in his heart.

Therefore, he can not only achieve his own goals, but also win a good reputation, which is the so-called bloodless blade.

Although Liu Ruchang did not make a clear statement, everyone in the palace knew that this matter was probably a foregone conclusion, and as long as the emperor decreed, the Jianxing Division would go out of the palace to get people.

"Grandpa Huang, Sun Chen has something to play."

At this moment, Zhu Shouwen, who had been sitting beside Taizu, stood up.

Seeing this, Liu Ruchang's eyes were slight. The officials he wants to get rid of are all people supported by Taisun, and the situation is critical at this time, so Taisun naturally will not sit still.

So Taisun came out at this time, which was also expected by him. He also just wanted to see what other means Taisun could have to save the situation when the overall situation was decided.

Taizu glanced at Zhu Shouwen, and his eyes were a little meaningful.

"Grandpa Huang, the sun, moon and stars have their own common sense, how can they determine the blessings and disasters of the world? The saying of the Heavenly Dao, Sun Chen thought, was really a little too illusory. What's more, I have the emperor's grandfather in Taizheng now, the country is strong, and the people live in peace, how can the fortunes of the country be affected by this small change in the sky? ”

Zhu Shouwen said in a deep voice.

"The people played by Qin Tianjian are, as Prime Minister Liu Cheng said, the pillars of the imperial court. If I go to prison on this trumped-up charge, wouldn't it be self-destruction of the Great Wall and the foundation of our Taizheng? ”

Zhu Shouwen continued, and after speaking, he glanced at Liu Ruchang, "Prime Minister Liu, did you say what the palace said?" ”

Liu Ruchang didn't expect that at a young age, Taisun's mind was also extremely agile, and with a few words from before, he pulled himself in again.

He thought for a while, and was thinking about how to answer, but Tang Yu preemptively spoke, "Your Royal Highness, this heavenly way is impermanent, and the power of heaven is unpredictable. The same has been true since the founding of Taisho. As His Royal Highness said, then there seems to be no need for this Qin Heavenly Prison to exist, and the ministers don't know how to deal with themselves. Therefore, His Highness's words are really ......"

Tang Yu has been in charge of the Heavenly Prison for many years, and the concept that the Heavenly Way is related to the fortune of the country has long been deep-rooted.

After all, he is a subordinate, Zhu Shouwen is the master, and he doesn't dare to say the words "too unreasonable" in the back.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone also felt that Taisun's statement was a bit far-fetched. The way of heaven is related to the fortune of the country, and it has been so since ancient times. Even those ministers with a neutral attitude did not agree with Taisun's statement.

Suddenly, the situation went in the same direction as before.

The situation in the main hall, Zhu Ping'an has always looked at it coldly. With his identity, it's not easy to speak out without permission. It's not good, those who can't get used to his father and son take the opportunity to play him a big disrespectful crime.

At this time, seeing that Zhu Shouwen finally stood up, it was time for him to make a move, so he stabbed his father with his hand from behind.

An Le Gong really didn't know what else Zhu Ping'an could do to turn things around in this situation. But since he agreed to him, he had no choice but to stand up, "Minister Zhu Zhong, I have something to play." ”

Everyone in the hall immediately looked at him.
