Chapter 142: Kneeling at the Noon Gate

The news continued to circulate, and finally starting from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, dozens of imperial historians set off together to kneel at the noon gate. After the beginning, more and more civil officials began to join, since the emperor does not watch the folds, then let the emperor see our voice!

When the news reached Wenyuan Pavilion, the three scholars heard it, Liu Jian had a hot temper, and he thought that this was also a way at that time, but Li Dongyang's face changed and he frowned.

Xie Qian saw that Li Dongyang's face changed, and knew that Li Dongyang was the best at scheming, but because he entered the cabinet late, he didn't weigh much, and asked, "Binzhi, what's wrong?" ”

Li Dongyang frowned and said, "Things seem to be out of control!" The noon gate kneeling admonition is too radical! This is completely opposite to the emperor! The emperor is still young, what we should advise is to be advised, but such a radical exhortation, I am afraid it will backfire! Even if he succeeds, the emperor will be left with mustard in his heart! ”

Liu Jian frowned and said: "Bin Zhi is a little serious, it is the emperor's young age that he needs to let the emperor correctly understand the way of being a king!" Although the noon kneeling admonition is more radical, the effect will be much better! ”

Li Dongyang groaned: "I always feel that there seems to be another push behind it!" Xie Qian also groaned when he heard this.

The news kept coming, and more and more officials gathered at the noon gate, and there were already more than a hundred people! Xie Qian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's too late to talk about this now, let's go, let's go too!" ”

Li Dongyang listened to Xie Qian's words and let out a long breath, indeed, it's too late to say anything now, they are already riding a tiger! If they don't come forward, then how can they be the head of the hundred officials again! What kind of eyes should the hundred officials use to look at the cabinet!

When the three scholars came to the noon gate, they saw a group of officials kneeling in front of the noon gate, and there was no shortage of important ministers such as Shangshu!

When the kneeling officials saw the three scholars coming together, their hearts rejoiced! Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and several important ministers nodded, walked to the front of the hundred officials and knelt down in silence!

When dozens of officials began to come to the noon gate to kneel and admonish, some little eunuchs came to report quickly. Emperor Zhengde's face turned pale when he heard this, and dozens of officials knelt in front of the noon gate, so that they could not save face!

Emperor Zhengde was thinking about whether to invite scholars to persuade the kneeling officials to leave, but he thought that Liu Jin had served him for so many years, and they had no merit and hard work, so how could he bear to expel them from the palace miserably!

At this time, Liu Jin and the others also knew that something had happened, and they stood there with a pitiful expression, panicking in their hearts!

The little eunuch came over in horror to report that there were more than 100 officials kneeling at the noon gate, and even the three scholars had already knelt at the noon gate!

Zhang Zhijie's face turned pale from iron blue, and he muttered: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, isn't there anyone who stands on my side?" ”

Emperor Zhengde was scared, more than a hundred officials, together with six important ministers, and three cabinet scholars, such a momentum, Emperor Zhengde, who had never experienced a major event, did not know what to do!

At this time, Wang Yue came in from outside the palace and said to Emperor Zhengde: "Your Majesty, the hundred officials are so aggressive, I am afraid that I will not give up if I do not achieve my goal!" Your Majesty might as well temporarily suspend the army! ”

Emperor Zhengde hurriedly said: "What kind of delaying strategy? Wang Yue said sincerely: "Your Majesty might as well promise the ministers and let Liu Jin and them go to Nanjing!" Nanjing is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and Liu Jin and they will not be wronged! The ministers just held their breath, and when things were light, let Liu Jin and them return to Beijing, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds! ”

Emperor Zhengde heard this and said urgently: "Okay, good, this idea is good!" Liu Jin and the others also thought that this idea was good, as long as they escaped this catastrophe, and when things calmed down, they could go back to the capital after appealing to the emperor!

Emperor Zhengde instructed Wang Yue: "Wang Yue, you go to the noon gate and tell the hundred officials that I have decided to expel Liu Jin and them from the capital and exile them to Nanjing!" ”

Wang Yue led the order out of the Qianqing Palace, and couldn't help but show a smile, everything was under control!

In front of the noon gate, hundreds of officials are still kneeling there persistently, and there are still officials joining, after all, this can be regarded as a major event that will leave a name in history!

Wang Yue Shi Ran came to the noon gate, and the kneeling officials noticed Wang Yue's arrival, and one of the officials kneeling among the hundred officials raised his head and glanced at Wang Yue!

Wang Yue nodded slightly, then coughed, and said: "Our family came to convey the holy will, the emperor has already known the invitation of the hundred officials, and the emperor has decided to expel Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others from the capital and exile them to Nanjing!" Everyone, disperse! ”

I didn't expect the emperor to be approved so soon, and all the officials kneeling here felt a heartfelt sense of achievement, and Li Dongyang, who had been hanging his heart, finally breathed a sigh of relief, since the emperor gave in, this matter will end here, and I will slowly advise if there is anything in the future!

Li Dongyang was about to say a few words to persuade the hundred officials to disperse, when a high voice sounded.

"Don't be fooled! This is just a delaying tactic by those eunuchs! Let's ask if the emperor will transfer them back to the capital in a few months, won't it be too late to regret it at that time! Kneeling at the noon gate, how can it become a joke! ”

"Please Your Majesty kill Liu Jin, Zhang Yonggu, Dayong and other eight eunuchs, so as to set the record straight!" The hundred officials were proud of the emperor's concession, and when they heard this, they were immediately provoked again, and they all agitated: "Please Your Majesty kill Liu Jin and others!" ”

Li Dongyang knew that something was wrong when he heard that shout, and sure enough, there was a behind-the-scenes promoter who was fueling the trouble! It's just that I heard that the hundred officials behind him were agitated, and it was useless to say anything at this time!

Wang Yue saw that things were developing step by step in the direction he designed, and he couldn't help but glance at Fan Ting, who was leading Dongchang Fanzi to maintain order nearby, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Li Dongyang's eyes swept over Wang Yue, and when he saw the corners of Wang Yue's slightly upturned mouth, he suddenly realized in an instant, and deeply regretted how he had forgotten these old foxes in the palace! It's really that after the emperor ascended the throne, they were all very low-key, and they were planning this!

However, the corners of Wang Yue's mouth did not curl for long, because another voice erupted in the crowd.

"It's not just Liu Jin and other eunuchs! And Zhang Zhijie! Treacherous and flattering should also be killed! This remark also immediately received a lot of responses, these are the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they have been disgraced by Zhang Zhijie!

Wang Yue heard that the first Buddha was out of his body, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and he really wanted to slap the person to the ground and scold a fool!

Don't say anything else, can you pass the queen mother's level by killing Zhang Zhijie? Wang Yue really wanted to drag the placket of that person's clothes and ask carefully, if he wanted to kill Zhang Zhijie, can you come up with any real charges? Are you stupid? Did you copy your jinshi?

Li Dongyang looked at Wang Yueqi's face, the corners of his mouth twitched, things are getting more and more interesting!
