Chapter 13: Unsatisfactory

When Wen Bin returned to the vertical arch hall, he found that Zhang Qi, the right minister, and Zhao Suiqian, the governor of the political affairs, had arrived with all the chief officials of the large and small yamen in Lin'an, and he immediately handed over the book of ten thousand words to Li Eun.

watched Li Eun present the book of ten thousand words to Zhu Chongli. Tang Hao suddenly had a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart. He wholeheartedly maintained the peace between the rejuvenation of the country and the creation of his mentor Li Linzhong.

However, the situation seems to be developing towards the situation that he least wants to see, and tens of thousands of people gather outside the imperial city to remove themselves.

In Tang Hao's view, Li Yue's case is just an excuse. And the emperor did not decisively disperse the troublemaker, so he was even more disappointed.

Zhu Chongli hastily read the book of ten thousand words, and said with a calm face: "Zhuqing, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Although he was very disgusted with the extreme behavior of the students and the common people, which was a blatant challenge to the authority of the imperial court, Zhu Chongli could also understand that this kind of thing was not handled properly, and the history was ruthless.

If it is recorded in the history books of later generations that he bloodily suppressed the petitioning students and the masses, wouldn't it be infamous behind him, it would be really terrifying.

Tang Hao kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, causing this change, although they ask themselves to be worthy of the gods of heaven and earth, but they can not be tolerated in the world. Because of the incompetence of the minister, His Majesty has fallen into such a predicament today, the minister really has the high hopes of His Majesty, and the minister has no ability to be above the phase anymore, so please allow Your Majesty to return to his hometown for the minister, and this is the remnant of his life. In the end, I couldn't help but cry.

Zhao Suiqian, who was shaped like a bamboo pole, said: "Tang Xiang is derelict in his duties, but the top priority is to drive away the troublesome crowd, which is really unseemly. ”

Right Prime Minister Zhang Qi and Tang Hao had disagreed political views, one main battle and the other main peace, but at this time, seeing Tang Hao's situation, he didn't want to fall into the ground, and said lightly: "Lord Zhao is right. ”

Everyone discussed for a while, and everyone was noncommittal about Tang Hao's resignation, showing a subtle attitude. I don't want to fall into the ground, but I don't want to keep it.

Zhu Chongli was very angry, he was also very dissatisfied with Tang Hao's peace, but he didn't want Tang Hao to resign now. The emperor understood very well that by approving Tang Hao's resignation at this time, he was undoubtedly burdened with the notoriety of purging the elders of the previous dynasty.

What's more, although the Emperor Taishang has already settled in him, he also pays attention to the dynamics of the court situation at any time. He hoped that a courtier would come out to keep Tang Hao, so he pushed the boat along the river to allow it, so that it would look better up and down.

Wen Bin seemed to see through the emperor's thoughts, and suddenly said: "This matter must not be done!" ”

At this moment, Tang Hao, Zhang Qi, and Zhao Suiqian all looked at Wen Bin in surprise, they didn't expect Wen Bin to oppose Tang Hao's resignation so clearly.

Zhu Chongli finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't think this matter is okay. ”

Wen Bin said in his heart: "Tang Hao is resigning now, who will be in charge?" Although Zhang Qi was the main battle, he was a great meritor, and the imperial court gathered 400,000 troops in Guanzhong under his command, but was defeated by 100,000 people in Youguo. Zhao Suiqian is an eight-sided and exquisite guy, this kind of person is okay to do peace, but he is embarrassed. What's more, since the eleventh year of rejuvenating the country and the conclusion of peace, Daliang has been withered by the talents tossed by Li Linzhong and his henchmen, and his vitality has been greatly damaged. Although the saint has the ambition to recover, at the moment, he still focuses on training troops in Jigu and enhancing the national strength, in order to paralyze the ghost, Tang Hao had better continue to stay in that position. ”

Naturally, these words can't be said, but what Wen Bin said in his mouth was: "The ministers and the students and the people knocked on the main gate of Li, and the right and wrong were not decided, and the court dismissed the prime minister, this matter will be laughed at by the world." Moreover, they are not here for Tang Xianggong. Although the minister could not fully agree with Tang Xianggong's political views, he did not dare to harm the state affairs with selfish motives, and the prime minister was guilty and should be removed by the imperial court. Today's events, the cause of chaos is Dali Temple Cheng He Shou, what does it have to do with Tang Xianggong? ”

Zhu Chongli nodded yes when he said this.

But things have developed to this point, no matter which aspect is considered, Tang Hao must also show his attitude of resignation, if he is still at peace in the phase at this time, then his political prestige will really be lost.

Tang Hao let out a long sigh and said, "The minister has no face to face the emperor, he has made up his mind, and he hopes that the saint will be fulfilled." ”

Wen Bin Zhengse said: "Xianggong, the most important thing now is not your resignation. This matter can be discussed later, and the emperor has his own opinions. The old minister thought that the most important thing now was to persuade the students and the people to disperse. ”

All the ministers in the palace echoed the proposal in unison.

Zhu Chongli should ask: "According to the will of the king of Wu'an, what should I do?" ”

Wen Bin groaned and said: "The minister thought it was just one word, drag." ”

Zhang Qi asked, "How to delay?" Tens of thousands of people gathered in the royal street, how to drag the law? ”

Wen Bin said: "The student's petition was originally for Li Yue's case. His Majesty can issue an edict to tell them that He Shou will be temporarily exempted, and another virtuous official will be selected to preside over the case, and Li Yue will be given justice. If it violates the law of the land, it cannot be pardoned even if ten thousand people knock on it; If it is really unjust, the emperor will not wronged the loyalty. Since they have come to this prison, the emperor has already dismissed the chief judge and re-selected someone to try the case, and he should have nothing to say. ”

Zhao Suiqian nodded in agreement: "This method is very good, first, to preserve the dignity of the country, second, to show His Majesty's fairness, and third, to make the people have nothing to say." ”

Tang Hao seemed to forget that he had resolutely resigned just now, and also said: "If it is because of the gathering of people to knock, they will obey their opinions, and the ministers will never dare to agree, if they all learn like this in the future, the court will have no prestige at all." This method is good, and the minister agrees with it. But the mastermind who incited the people to knock on the Que should also be punished after the incident, otherwise it would be too unseemly. Chen felt that Ouyang Dong was most likely the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Zhang Qi said with a smile: "Why should Tang Xiang have trouble with a little student? How much wind and waves can he stir up? Aren't you afraid of another knock of 10,000 people? "Zhang Qi almost said that Li Yue's case was what you said would be strictly investigated, which caused such a big mess.

Wen Bin stood aside and smiled without saying a word.

Zhu Chongli also had his own considerations, thought about it and said: "Zhu Qing is right, it's just a mastermind behind the scenes, that's a fictitious matter, there is no need to investigate this matter, otherwise people's hearts will be unstable, and I don't know how many people are implicated." ”

Zhu Chongli loves to read history books, and knows that the word "framing" is the easiest to write, how can the mastermind of this kind of thing be investigated? There is no way to find out. What's more, if there really is, it must be the important ministers of the court who are implicated, and it is even more terrible. It is better to show the world to be lenient.

The edict to the petitioners was written in a seamless manner, and on the one hand, they were severely rebuked for acting impulsively and indecently; On the one hand, he also comforted everyone, saying that their hearts were commendable and the emperor could understand; For the requirements of the people, it is pointed out that the imperial court has its own laws, and the emperor should act in accordance with the laws and decrees of etiquette, and the matter should be shown to the world for justice, so Li Yue's case can only be disposed of after it is cleared.

But please rest assured, the court will have a fair result, He Shou mishandled, and the court should appoint another official to try it; As for the students' questioning of Tang Hao's dismissal, Wan Gu Ai and He Shou believed that this matter should be decided by the imperial court.

“…… If he is guilty, although ten thousand people knock on him, I cannot forgive his sins; If he is not guilty, I cannot cure him. I am the Son of Heaven, and I should show the world to ...... justice" Zhao Suiqian read the edict aloud while watching the reactions of these people.

Sure enough, some people began to waver, although a few people seemed to want to fight for a clear promise, but after reading the edict, most of the people were moved by such a sympathetic emperor, and basically began to shout "Long live my emperor".

Ouyang Dong and Xiao Ning'er glanced at each other, only to find that the other Guozijian and Taixue students were all satisfied with this achievement and shouted "Long live". In desperation, the two of them could only accept it, and Ouyang Dong also wrote a thank you form and a seal of plea and handed it to Zhao Suiqian.

The result can only be said to be unsatisfactory, the students and the common people put forward a bunch of demands, and the actual concession given by the imperial court is only the removal of He Shou.

Although Yang Dong and Xiao Ning'er were not satisfied with this result, they could only give in in the face of the imperial court holding high the banner of righteousness. After all, the petition of the people at the bottom will never succeed if it lacks strong justice.
