Chapter 354 Who's Justice?

Xie Yue didn't leave until after lunch at Zhen Dexiu's place, he drank some wine at lunch, and teased Zhen Dexiu's maid, but when Zhen Dexiu revealed that he wanted to send the maid to him, he refused proudly, and said to himself, "Flowers are not broken, and romance is not obscene", if it weren't for Zhen Dexiu's familiarity with his temperament, he was afraid that he would turn his face with him on the spot.

After the wine was slightly smoked, he staggered back to his home. He didn't have a hard time, but he didn't have much money to spare, so he didn't have so many servants except for three servants. The old servant guarding the door looked a little strange when he saw him, but Xie Yue was slightly drunk and didn't notice it.

"Xie Anren has done a great job!"

This sudden sound made Xie Yue startled, his eyes flashed, he turned around, and only relieved when he saw the speaker.

"Okay, you Li Zhizheng, suddenly played this hand for me, when did you arrive?"

The person who spoke was none other than Li Shimin.

"How's it going to be when I arrived and came to you right away?" The relationship between Li Shimin and him has long been unnecessary, and the two sat down while talking.

"The big thing has been done." Xie Yue said proudly.

Hearing him say that nearly half of the provincial road chiefs had already jointly telegraphed the imperial court, Li Shimin laughed, and then lowered his voice: "This time it is regarded as avenging Zhao Manqing, those people have harmed Manqing's future, and An Ren has ruined their plans, and he is really stronger than me, a useless person!" ”

"When you went to Beijing to die with Manqing, I couldn't walk with me from afar, so I could only do some aftermath. Fortunately, His Majesty's wisdom is as deep as the sea, and it is dissolved invisibly, although Manqing is far from Xinzhou, there will be a day when we will meet again. Xie Yue said.

From the time Zhao Jingyun was arrested, to the present half a year of hard work, Xie Yue has been planning to deal a heavy blow to the scholars to show the anger of the new generation of scholars who have been studying in Liu. Unlike the traditional scholars, they were young, mostly in their thirties, in the prime of life and vigorous, and at the same time they had received systematic training in the study of intellect, or at least spent a great deal of time and energy on the study of it. For a long time, they were followers of the previous generation of scholars, guests, or admirers, but now they have to make their voices heard.

From the beginning of the pro-government, Zhao Heju continued to send outstanding young scholars in Taixue to seek further education for a long time, and now his advanced vision has borne fruit.

"Anren's great talent is beyond my reach." Li Shimin listened to Xie Yue explain how he talked about Zhendexiu, how he connected with Yelu Chucai and others, how to contact like-minded old friends in a very short time, and how he set a day to make trouble, only to feel that although there was no sword and sword shadow in it, it was also thrilling. After sighing repeatedly, he sighed and said: "It's useless to be a scholar, my vision is not as good as Zhao Manqing's, my work is not as good as Xie Anren, and I am far behind the two of you." ”

"Everyone has their own strengths." Xie Yue took this seriously, and after a pause, he said: "Although it has become a momentum now, I don't know what the result will be, so I can only wait for the news in the capital." ”

"It's not your and my style, that's the case, without further ado, let's immediately prepare a few more articles, think about it well, just wait for the capital to react, and send it out in one go, this time to move, you have to move a thunderbolt!" Li Shimin said.

The two planned in Bianliang and didn't say anything, in the capital Lin'an, after a short silence, the princes in the court finally reacted and understood what the Son of Heaven was waiting for. The joint performance of the provincial governors was a rare support for the Son of Heaven, who had always relied on his own strength to promote reform, and it also meant that there had been a serious and irreparable split among the traditional bureaucrats and doctors.

Partisanship seems inevitable.

Wei Liaoweng's home has never been so lively, almost half of the officials in the middle and middle of the court gathered in his house, plus some professors of Lin'an Taixue, the number is nearly 100. After he was promoted to prime minister, he still lived in the mansion of the head of the household, and the scale was cramped, and most of them could only stand in the courtyard when they were crowded into these many people.

In the past, they would have some scruples, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, but in the current situation, there is no point in scruples, so the officials came one after another.

Zhao Kui came late, and happened to see a small official of the household standing in the courtyard wiping tears, the little official is older, and he has always been timid and afraid of things on weekdays, but now he dares to act like this in front of everyone. Zhao Kui was in a bad mood, and couldn't help but scold: "The country has been raising soldiers for three hundred years, but it is the change of Jingkang, and the scholar doctor can only die in the country, if it is peaceful today, why cry!" ”

The household official was drunk by him, and hurriedly wiped away his tears, and after listening to his training, he was not as timid as usual, but arched his hand and said: "Lord Shangshu, Jingkang's change is the king, but now what is lost is the Taoism, Confucius said, the Tao is not good, I will float overseas, although the current situation is peaceful in the world, but there is no Taoism at all." Xia Guan originally came to resign, grateful for his body, six years old, nineteen years old, by the sage classics for more than 40 years, but when the rites and music collapsed, but unable to return to the sky, so I cried, Lord Shangshu scolded me how harsh! ”

Since he is ready to resign, although the rank and rank are far from Zhao Kui, he is not afraid. When the ministers in the courtyard heard his words, they all nodded yes, and immediately there was a humane: "What Lord Fang said is very true, my way is not lonely, my way is not lonely!" ”

Zhao Kui felt a disturbance in his heart, and secretly regretted in his heart, he was intimidated by the momentum of these people at the beginning, he had to stand at the forefront of the arrest of Zhao Jingyun, and said in his heart that he would rather be able to retreat. But at this critical time, the weakness in the bones of these people is manifested, saying that they will float overseas if they say that they can't do it, it is nothing more than an attempt to escape when they see the opportunity.

He didn't like it in his heart, and his words were even more polite: "Nonsense, now that the politics are clear, where has the etiquette collapsed?" As for the Taoism, it is even more ridiculous, Zhongni Taoism, in benevolence and courtesy, now governs ......"

He had only said half a sentence when the door suddenly opened, Wei Liaoweng stood at the door with a green face, looked at him and said, "Why should Zhao Shangshu be as knowledgeable as a small official, come in quickly!" ”

Zhao Kui swept a circle of these officials gathered in the courtyard, if these people really had the heart to resign, they should have gone to the Ministry of Officials to report a long time ago, but they also stayed here, obviously advancing and retreating, forcing Wei Liaoweng to come out to put pressure on the Son of Heaven, just like the tricks used against him Zhao Kui before. But this is to roast Wei Liaoweng on the fire, whether it is successful or not, Wei Liaoweng will be upside down.

Thinking of this, his gaze was a little sharp, he had been in charge of the army for many years, and he had a kind of martial artist's sharpness, and he was forced by his gaze, and these scholars and doctors avoided it one after another. When he entered Wei Liaoweng's house, the courtiers in the courtyard began to whisper.

"After all, he was born as a martial artist, not a serious scholar, so he will be unreasonable, and this kind of person can also occupy the position of Shangshu, Your Majesty is too ignorant." There is humanity.

"It is precisely the meanness and peace that is the avenue. At the beginning, we pinned our hopes on this person, which is really a big mistake, a big mistake! ”

Of course, such a discussion came into Zhao Kui's ears, but at this time he had no time to care, he entered the door, and saw that the six Shangshu were already here except for the military department, and his heart moved, and he heard the door behind him creak, and was locked up by Wei Liaoweng himself.

Zhao Kui's face couldn't help but change.

"A bunch of rotting worms, the official system is reformed, they will bear the brunt, I am afraid that they will be removed from their current position, Zhao Shangshu will ignore them." Yu Tianci said with a smile.

"I'm waiting for a gathering here, if the Son of Heaven knows......" Zhao Kui didn't expect that almost all the chief officials of the six departments had arrived, so his voice trembled a little.

"Will the Son of Heaven still not know? Including the people jumping up and down in the yard, what does the Son of Heaven not know? ”

Chen Guiyi's words were sarcastic, of course, not sarcastic about the Son of Heaven, Zhao Kui saw that Xiao Bolang would not move, and he understood in his heart that if Yu Tianci was still a scholar, this Xiao Bolang is an authentic Son of Heaven Xinchen, in the words of the Son of Heaven, he is a technocratic bureaucrat, and his appearance here obviously represents the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

This made Zhao Kui's heart feel a little calm, what he was most worried about was being misunderstood, and a group of ministers were secretly conspiring against each other.

"Your Majesty once said that if there is no accident among us, we will not change within four years." Xiao Bolang coughed, although he was already a high-ranking official of Shangshu's level, he still preferred his own research, his research on the new airship was entering a critical period, with the aim of creating a huge practical airship that could be used for passenger and cargo transportation like a train, rather than only for military purposes now, so it was a bit boring to delay his precious research time to participate in such a meeting. He didn't want to waste time in beating around the bush, so he went straight to the point, or Wei Liaoweng and Zhao Kui didn't care about the emperor's promise, but at least Chen Guiyi and the others were a little anxious and calmed down immediately.

"Exactly, now is not the early years of Yanhuang, at that time, Xuanzhen and others intended to force the Son of Heaven to make concessions, because the law does not blame the public, and there is no one to replace the Son of Heaven, so in the end, only Xuanzhen resigned. Now it is not the case, the position of the Son of Heaven is far better than at the beginning, and the statement of the governor of the local road province has made it possible to replace the official positions of the DPRK and China at any time. ”

"We ...... I'm afraid I'm going to be infamous by Shilin. Wei Liaoweng said with some concern, he was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that his reputation would be infected, which was the biggest gap between him and Cui, which was also the reason why Zhao and Ju missed Cui and Ju all their lives.

"Shilin? Can these people outside represent Shilin? Yu Tianci said sharply: "These are all brainless and eyeless, as soon as Zhen Jingxi and the provincial governor of Tianxia Road jointly came out, it was obvious where Shilin Qingyi was convenient...... They? The mantis arm is just a car! ”

Everyone was stunned, Yu Tianci gave everyone the impression that he had always been gentle and introverted, playing the role of reconciling the relationship between the Son of Heaven and the ministers, and it was rare for something like this to be sharp-tongued.

However, Yu Tianci was silent after a seizure, and began to watch more and listen less to talk, Wei Liaoweng, as the prime minister, naturally wanted to take on the big things, he pondered for a long time, and then said: "Your Majesty is generous, so our ministers, although they are immoral and incompetent, can still steal a high position." We can't share your Majesty's worries, which has caused the country to have what it is doing now, and we really have a guilty conscience. I intend to resign from the post of Prime Minister, and before that, in my capacity as Prime Minister, I ordered these officials to return to their posts and devote themselves to serving the country. ”

"Why did the minister come up with such a decision!" Hong Shikui was shocked, although Wei Liaoweng stepped down, then the possibility of him succeeding the prime minister would be great, but now that the country is getting stronger and stronger, it is really a harbinger of chaos to make the prime minister fall for this matter. The most important thing is that he figured out what Zhao and Ju meant, and he didn't seem to blame Wei Liaoweng, after all, until now, Wei Liaoweng only fulfilled the responsibility of a courtier, and did not lead a large number of ministers to force the palace like Xuanxuan. But as long as he said a word, he couldn't persuade him, so he could only frown and remain silent.

Chen Guiyi said: "This matter has nothing to do with the prime minister, the prime minister came forward with good intentions, one is to avoid the Son of Heaven from making a big fuss, and the other is to protect Shilin's face." But in this world, face is not given by others, but fought for by themselves, those people are now showing face, they dare not force the official family, so they come to force the prime minister, isn't it to trap the prime minister in a disloyal and unrighteous place? ”

Indeed, as Chen Guiyi said, after Zhao and Ju turned their hands into clouds and hands for rain, Shilin has undergone a major split, first the gold and silver in Dongshengzhou made some nimble scholars shift their attention to the plan to make a fortune, and then the construction of Confucian temples and subsidies to Confucian scholars caused Confucianism to dispute, and the introduction of the rank evaluation system pushed the most unmoved Confucian masters into the vortex. Now they can still unite to exert pressure, only the most conservative and stubborn people in Shilin remain, they are afraid of Zhao and Ju's prestige and power, and dare not directly confront the imperial power, so they will push Wei Liaoweng Zhao Kui and others to the forefront, if this is done, it will be profitable to defeat them, and the negative is that Wei Liaoweng and Zhao Kui and others in power bear the greatest responsibility, and their intentions can only be said to be despicable. Chen Guiyi is an understanding person, and he can see the tricks of scheming more thoroughly than Wei Liaoweng, so he can tell them directly.

Wei Liaoweng was still a little hesitant in his heart, he always regarded himself as a gentleman, so he was a little unbearable.

"The matter has come to this, what are you still hesitating to do?" After everyone talked for a while, Yu Tianci finally came out to speak, it was he who single-handedly recruited the Son of Heaven from the people to recommend Shi Miyuan, which made him rich today, so his position is very firm and unwavering, that is, tightly tied to Zhao and Ju's chariot. He said awe-inspiringly: "The Son of Heaven has been in charge for fourteen years, and what he has done is obvious to all, if the Son of Heaven is also considered to be unreasonable, then what is the way of Yao Shunyu?" Those who say that the Son of Heaven has broken the Confucian Taoist system is just because the Son of Heaven presided over the reform of the official system, which may cut off their path to wealth - if they are mediocre officials, if they are not cut off from their official careers, how can talented and virtuous sages ascend to the throne? ”

"The prime minister is the prime minister, the prime minister of the world rather than the prime minister of Confucianism, a few Confucians scolding the prime minister, it is better than the people of the world scolding the prime minister, a few Confucians crying in the courtyard of the prime minister, it is better than the people of the world crying in their own homes. Where to go, a word can be decided, why hesitate to be a minister! ”

Wei Liaoweng's heart froze, stared at Yu Tianci for a while, and then bowed: "No!" ”
