"Seeing that it's already noon, and the court meeting can't go on endlessly, according to the official's opinion, it's better for the emperor and the two scholars to take a step back and compromise. "In this case, only Xie Hong dares to speak.

When everyone heard this, they all slandered in their hearts, this is the court meeting, and the one appointed is also one of the nine secretaries, how can there be such a casual mess? Compromise? Are you supposed to be grocery shopping? Seeing Xie Hongyitai's relaxed appearance, the courtiers were even more angry.

"Okay, since the left capital is not good, then the right capital is good." Practice makes perfect, this kind of trick of singing and harmonizing, Zhengde and Xie Hong are not the first time to play, Xie Hong's voice just fell, and without waiting for others to turn around the second thought, Zhengde agreed.

"However, Your Majesty ...... "Although it is not Jiuqing, and the grade is also one place worse, but the right capital Yushi is not a petty official, not to mention that Liu Jian didn't want to continue to suffer this piecemeal crime, and wanted to simply go out and fight, how could he agree at this time?"

"Aside from the two scholars, do you have any opinions?" Zhengde didn't pay attention to him, turned to the others and asked in a loud voice.

"......" everyone understands that it is necessary to be cautious in convicting scholars, but it is not so troublesome to convict ordinary officials, Your Majesty, you are planning to pick soft persimmons first! This question completely exposed Zhengde's strategy, and no one dared to respond.

"In this case, Master Liu, your opinion should be reserved for now, this matter ......" Zhengde waved his hand and motioned for Liu and Xie to retreat, he was going to forcibly pass this will.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not in line with the ancestral system of national law, the old minister categorically does not dare to obey the edict, please retract your order!" Of course, Liu Jian refused to flinch at this time, he took a step forward with his sideburns open, his momentum was awe-inspiring, and he had the momentum to do whatever it takes.

He really can't retreat, it is his consistent idea to get rid of Xie Hong, how the previous fiasco will end is still undecided, if he lets the other party enter the court, and he is also an important position like the right capital imperial history, he will no longer have the face to stand on the court and be this first assistant.

"The old minister seconded the proposal...... "Xie Qian's situation is similar to Liu Jian, and even more severe than Liu Jian.

Min Gui, Gu Zuo, Shi Lin, etc., most of these people who have been convicted or nominated by Zhengde are Jiangnan scholars, and he is a scholar who is not effective in helping, I am afraid that he has already seen it in the eyes of others, if he retreats at this time, he will certainly lose his prestige in the court, and his prestige among Jiangnan scholars will be dangerous, so he has to echo Liu Jian and persevere to the end.

"Both ministers are like this, Scholar Li, what is your opinion?" Zhengde still ignored the two, but this time he turned to Li Dongyang.

"Old minister......" Li Dongyang wanted to say goodbye, he found for the first time that Zhengde's gaze could bring him so much pressure. With the status and prestige of the ministers, they were originally unanimously heard in the court, but in the future, not to mention that the three of them opposed it together, as long as two people stood up, it would be impossible for this resolution to pass.

However, the current situation is really difficult to say, Xie Hong's plan began to feel scattered, but in the end, it was found that it was interlocking. Now that everyone is in danger and has lost their spirit, even if Liu and Xie take the lead, no one will follow, and they will be able to reverse the situation by themselves? Li Dongyang felt very bottomless in his heart.

But if Xie Hong wants to sweep away the ministers, and even Jiuqing has to take it down, it is not very convincing. Li Dongyang knows very well that Xie Hong does not have enough talents in his hands, if he really sweeps away the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government, where will he find someone to fill the position?

"In this case, I have decided to remove Liu Jianhua from the post of scholar of the Imperial Palace, remove Xie Qianwu from the position of the scholar of the Imperial Palace, and remove all the fame of the two of them!" Zhengde's tone didn't change much, it was almost the same as when he informed everyone that Wang Yue and the others had died, but in the ears of the ministers, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and their brains were numb.

Over the years, if you have reached the level of a university scholar, everything will be guaranteed, even if you commit a big sin, as long as you put forward it, it will be over. In fact, since the Xuande period, except for Ding Wei and Zhishi, there has been no other reason for the resignation of the scholar.

As a matter of fact, the dismissal of scholars is a more appalling event than the transmission of the first nine sides of the military department, and for the scholars, this kind of behavior already belongs to the category of opening the world, or it is better to destroy the world.

However, this impossible thing happened, and the initiator still looked indifferent, and the person who actually carried it out was equally indifferent, as if what the two of them were doing was just a trivial matter.

"Anyway......" Zhengde explained lightly: "If I want to force the order, the two scholars also have to ask for Zhishi, I have always disliked my mother-in-law and mother-in-law, let's just hurry up, save some trouble, and end the surname once." ”

Xie Qian was already trembling, and he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid, or other emotions, but he was very excited anyway. After listening to Zhengde's explanation, his body began to shake, and he looked a little shaky, Li Dongyang stepped forward and helped him, so he didn't fall.

Liu Jian was also full of sorrow, the furrows and ravines on his face were deeper, and his brows were twisted like a chrysanthemum.

Asking for a job is just a means. If the cabinet ministers collectively apply for resignation, it will be a major blow to the court situation and the prestige of the emperor, and the emperor must and can only offer to keep him, and he must also introspect himself and promise that he will change his past mistakes, and the cabinet ministers will change their minds.

Liu Jian was actually brewing this big move, if he didn't want to see Li Dongyang's reaction, he should have used this trick. Who would have thought that today he was robbed of the lead by Zhengde everywhere, and even his self-invitation became deposed, how can he be embarrassed!

Now it makes no sense to use this trick, haven't you heard what the emperor said? He's going to end his last name once! Thinking about it carefully, Liu Jian also understood that the emperor and Xie Hong had this idea at the beginning.

The reason why it was not brought up at the beginning was mainly because of strategic issues. Xie Hong's strategy must have been to weaken morale by delaying first; then use Liu and Gu as a deterrent; followed by piecemeal, killing chickens and monkeys, and putting hundreds of officials in danger; In the end, the true purpose was thrown to lure the scholar forward, and Zhengde took advantage of the situation to make the final blow.

This strategy is not very clever, if it is under normal circumstances, Liu Jian should be able to see through it quickly, but in the case of his worries, most of his mind is occupied by worries about rebellion and purge, where do you want to get Zhengde's nonsense, and there are so many tricks?

Liu Jian also knew very well that unless he didn't say a word regardless of his prestige, he and Xie Qian would definitely be on their heels today, who would have thought in advance that Xie Hong had set the goal of attacking all in one battle at the very beginning? This goal is actually directed at the ministers, how bold is this?

The expected massacre will not be there, but how much worse can it be? Even the ministers and ministers will be dismissed, and the Shangshu will be passed on to the first nine sides, and being an official is no longer the kind of safe and secure thing, not to mention, the basis for conviction is still the word 'rumor'! It's so ironic!

Corresponding to Liu Jian's death-like face was Xie Hong's sneer.

It is rumored that impeachment is a good trick of civil servants, and they are even more comfortable with such things as convicting others indiscriminately. Whether it is Yue Wumu's 'unwarranted' or some twelve killable and thirteen deadly sins, throughout the ages, there have been countless loyal ministers and good generals who have died under this move, and Xie Hong feels that he is just taking a little revenge for these people.

What's more, those charges were not fabricated by Xie Hong, many of them were true. Of course, this information comes from the midnight intelligence system, and although the discussion in the Qinglou is a reserved program for scholars, it is impossible to find out about important matters that are too secret, and scholars are not stupid, and of course they will not talk about confidential matters in public places.

The most collected by Lichun Courtyard is this kind of private rumors or gossip. There are also many contradictions between the courtiers, and these private matters cannot be used to bring down the opponent, but talking about it in private can also relieve anger, as long as the relevant people wait for a few cups of yellow soup to be poured down, even if it is gossip from many years ago, it will also be said as a talking point.

Scholars don't attack each other with this kind of thing, that's because they are all about the same as each other, and they have more or less done some unreasonable things, and attacking each other will only hurt both sides, not to mention that there is no real evidence, everyone is a smart person, so naturally they will not do this.

But these things are different in Xie Hong's hands, anyway, he just wants to find a reason, where does it matter if he is wronged or not, and tell the enemy fairness? Isn't that suicidal? Xie Hong is not a saint, even if he is a saint, isn't it important to repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue? Whoever provokes us, we will fight back directly, and the saint is also very bloody.

What Xie Hong needs is not the convincing of the scholars, he just needs to make the other party afraid and give him less trouble, and in his opinion, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the most appropriate institution.

"I appointed Xie Hong as the imperial history of the right capital, Scholar Li, you come to draw up the edict ......" Zhengde didn't look at the two frustrated old men, and loudly issued the edict of the appointment, and then put a major choice in front of Li Dongyang.

“…… Obey the order. Li Dongyang hesitated for a while, but finally bowed down to answer.

If he hadn't hesitated just now, looking at Zhengde's posture, he would have directly deposed all the ministers, and he wouldn't have been soft. Since I have hesitated before, if I resist hard at this time, it will not please me inside and out, so it is better to come down first.

Anyway, the imperial history of the right capital is not the official of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Xie Hong's subordinates have no cronies available to do the imperial history, so they should not be able to make any big waves.

Zhengde nodded with satisfaction, and said: "In the future, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be reorganized into the upper and lower courts, the duties of the upper court will remain the same, and the lower court will be in charge of the right capital imperial history Xie Hong. ”

"Wechen obeys!" There was silence in the Taihe Palace, and only the voices of Xie Hong and Zhengde were echoing.

Although the will of this reorganization of the Metropolitan Procuratorate should be the ultimate goal of Xie Hong and Zhengde, the courtiers did not dare to oppose Zhengde's sudden will, and they did not know how to oppose it, and they didn't even understand what Zhengde was talking about.
