Chapter 1257 The thunder of an honest man

Qiao Mingtang couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Wei Zheng, the Holy Lord is here, why are you crazy?" ”

"You have to make people talk." Lin Yuanfang had already said in a strange manner: "Lord Qiao, the saint is also going on a tour of the north, and he is also to be aware of the people's feelings, now that there are local officials playing, the saint has not yet spoken, which turn is your turn to speak first?" ”

Although the Qi Wang Party has only begun to form in recent years, it seems to be later than the new party, but the Qi Wang Party has actually inherited the team of the Han Wang Party, and compared with the Qi Wang Party converted from the Han Wang Party, the new party based on the officials of the surrounding state capitals of Gyeonggi is the weakest.

The reason why the new party can occupy a place in today's court is, in the final analysis, because the emperor favors the new party officials headed by Lin Yuanfang and Ma Hong and others, as the leader of the new party, Lin Yuanfang has always wanted to strengthen the new party by relying on the emperor's favor, so whether it is the princeling party or the Qi Wang party, as long as there is an opportunity, Lin Yuanfang does not mind falling into the well.

He naturally knew that Qiao Mingtang was one of the important members of the princelings, and today Wei Zheng suddenly made a move to impeach Qiao Mingtang in front of the emperor, which was certainly something that Qiao Mingtang did not expect, and Lin Yuanfang did not expect either.

Lin Yuanfang was very surprised in his heart, generally speaking, the relationship between the local six divisions and the governors is good, and the governors of each province will try their best to let the head of the six divisions and yamen be their own people.

After all, the empire has implemented the strategy of separating the local military and government from the beginning, the governor is in charge of political affairs, and the local commander is to deal with the military, and in the arrangement of the commander, the court will never arrange people who have a close relationship with the governor. The imperial court will transfer and separate them as quickly as possible.

Therefore, the Qin State has always maintained a tradition that the more the relationship between the commander and the governor is, the safer it is for the official positions of both sides.

It was difficult for the governor to meddle in military affairs, so even if the Yamen of the Six Divisions used people close to the governor, the court would not care too much.

Qiao Mingtang has been the governor of Xishan Road for many years, according to common sense, the heads of the six divisions and yamen should be regarded as his people, even if the relationship is not too close, at least it will not be-for-tat, after all, no governor will allow a subordinate who is not on the same road as himself to work with him.

However, Wei Zheng, who was the head of the Yamen of the Department of Rites of the Xishan Dao, had just entered Longran, and immediately participated in the impeachment of Qiao Mingtang, looking at his unhurried appearance, it seemed that he had already prepared for the thunder of the honest man in Chapter 1257

The same.

This surprised everyone, and they all felt that something was wrong, Lin Yuanfang was surprised first and then delighted, if he could take this opportunity to bring down Qiao Mingtang, it could be regarded as an unexpected joy.

Qiao Mingtang was so shrewd, after hearing Lin Yuanfang's reprimand, he knew what this person was thinking, knelt on the ground, and asked for sin: "The ministers lost their words, and please ask the saint to surrender!" ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "You don't have to rush to ask for guilt, I want to hear what Wei Zheng is going to impeach you." He looked at Wei Zheng and asked, "Wei Zheng, you said that Qiao Mingtang deceived the monarch, he really had the crime of bullying the monarch?" ”

Wei Zheng knelt on the ground, but he raised his head, although he was a little hungry, he still said as loudly as possible: "Back to the saint, Qiao Mingtang is indeed guilty of bullying the king!" ”

"How did he deceive me?"

Wei Zhengdao: "Back to the Holy Lord, Qiao Mingtang claims that the empire is of the same heart, and the Tianmen Dao can be pacified in the near future, this is all a deception, and the sin is unforgivable!" ”

"Huh?" Qiao Mingtang was stunned, opened his mouth, and looked puzzled.

The ministers looked at each other with different expressions, and the emperor's face did not change, and asked calmly: "You said that Qiao Mingtang bullied the monarch, then you want to say that my empire is centrifugal up and down, and the Heavenly Gate Road cannot be pacified in the future?" ”

Wei Zheng said without hesitation: "Qi Song Sheng, not only is the whole empire not concentric, but also separated from morality, otherwise there will be no bandits and troubles, and the people will not be able to make a living...... In such a situation, if you want to calm the Heavenly Gate, even if it is Lei Guheng, it will be even more difficult......! ”

"Shut up!" Lin Yuanfang took a step forward, pointed at Wei Zheng, and scolded angrily: "Wei Zheng, you are so bold, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

Wei Zheng glanced at Lin Yuanfang and said lightly: "Lin Butang, you also said just now that you want people to speak, and the lower official only said two words, can't you go on?" ”

"You're ......!" Lin Yuanfang was annoyed and angry, "You are talking nonsense and blaspheming ...... in front of the Holy Master!" Before he finished speaking, the emperor had already interrupted: "Wei Zheng, you said that the people of the world are not happy? ”

Seeing the emperor ask, Lin Yuanfang's voice stopped abruptly, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "Exactly, there are many displaced people, bandits, natural disasters, and wars...... The subordinates really don't know that in this case, how can the common people go to live in peace, and how can they be of one heart and one mind with the court? ”

The emperor's expression turned cold, and he sneered: "I said before that there are some people with other intentions, cholera people's hearts, saying that the world is chaotic, but I don't believe it, I have left Beijing to come here, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment along the way, and there is a peaceful atmosphere. "Chapter 1257 The Thunder of the Honest Man

Wei Zhengdao: "What the saint sees is only what the saint wants to see, and what the saint doesn't want to see, that is what he can't see." ”

"What did you say?" The Emperor frowned.

Wei Zheng said without hesitation: "Back to the Holy Lord, since the day the Holy Lord left Beijing, the places he passed along the way were arranged in advance...... As far as the subordinates know, the news of the Shengshang's northern tour has already spread all over the place, although the Shengshang has not issued a decree, but the routes of the Shengshang's northern tour have been roughly clear to the prefectures and counties along the way. ”

Qiao Mingtang's back was already in a cold sweat at this moment, and the officials of Xishan Dao who came with him were even more frightened, and their hearts were horrified.

Everyone thought that this was just to come to meet the saint, according to the normal routine, the emperor toured north, passing through Xishan, and the officials of Xishan naturally wanted to come to meet and listen to the training.

During this period, it is natural to be cautious, resolutely do not say what should not be said, and what should not be done, that is not even to move a finger, the purpose of all is to send away His Majesty the Emperor without any turmoil.

Everyone felt that this was a matter that did not need words, and they all thought that their colleagues could maintain a full tacit understanding, and even Qiao Mingtang also felt that the officials under him would definitely not leak.

However, the officials of Xishan never thought that Wei Zheng, who was more than half a hundred years old, would give everyone such a surprise on such an occasion.

Everyone knows that Wei Zheng is a scholar, born in Fuhaidao, diligent and hard-working, he is a late bloomer, fortunately, he later entered the Guozijian, at that time Qiao Mingtang also happened to be in the Guozijian, and he was a colleague, after which Wei Zheng was transferred to the Ministry of Rites, but he was low-key, taciturn, could not say right and wrong, but he was not good at officialdom communication, and he had worked hard in the Ministry of Rites for many years, only mixed into the position of a foreigner, according to his background and personality, it was difficult to go to the next level.

It's just that after Qiao Mingtang gained a firm foothold in Xishan Road, he actually thought of this colleague who worked together in Guozijian in the past, maybe he took a fancy to this Rite Department member Wailang Solid Officer, but he would not provoke right and wrong, so after a little operation, the imperial court sent Wei Zheng to Xishan Road to serve as the director of the Department of Rites of Xishan Road, for such an inconspicuous person, not too many people paid attention, he was in the Ministry of Rites for many years, and when he left the capital, he didn't even have half a ripple, even if he came to Xishan Road, he has been obscure, and rarely walks around with his colleagues, After a long time, everyone also knew the temper of the head of the Ministry of Rites, and they didn't provoke or provoke.

If anyone makes trouble today, everyone will not be surprised than now, Wei Zheng, who has always looked taciturn and even a little honest, has been low-key for half his life, who would have thought that Lin Lao would do such an earth-shattering thing Chapter 1257 The thunder of an honest man

Come.

Qiao Mingtang saw the cold expression on the emperor's wrinkled face, and knew that things were not good today, and smiled bitterly in his heart: "Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, back then, I just saw that you were honest and obedient, and didn't cause trouble, so it took effort to transfer you to Xishan, over the years, you really haven't caused trouble for me, and I thought I was very accurate, who would have thought that in this last moment, you would use up the trouble of vacancy for many years at once......!" "I regret it in my heart.

The emperor's eyes flashed, just staring at Wei Zheng, but he didn't speak.

The courtiers on the side were all silent, the relaxed atmosphere when Qiao Mingtang and the others had just entered the dragon chariot had already dissipated at this time, the air was indescribably depressing, the atmosphere was indescribably gloomy for a while, and some officials even felt that they couldn't breathe.

Wei Zheng saw that the emperor did not speak, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Because all the places know the road where the holy car is going, so while the capital is preparing for the northern tour of the saint, the local government is also making great efforts for the arrival of the saint. ”

The emperor's face was expressionless, and Wei Zheng continued: "It is precisely because of this that everything the Holy Lord saw along the way was arranged in advance, and they knew what the Holy Lord wanted to see, so the Holy Lord saw something. ”

The emperor slowly sat down on the golden dragon chair, and finally spat out his words: "Do you think what they made is what I want to see?" ”

"Yes!" Wei Zhengdao: "The saint thinks that the world is peaceful, so what he sees is the peace of the world, and if the people are not happy, there are groups of bandits, and natural disasters**, these saints don't want to see it, or even want to hear it, so the saint can't see it, and he can't hear it." ”

The Emperor said, "You mean they are all deceiving me?" ”

"They are afraid of the Holy One." Wei Zheng still behaved very respectfully, "For the sake of high-ranking officials, glory, wealth, and even for the sake of their lives, they will do what the saint wills." ”

The Emperor let out an old, strange laugh, "What do you mean, they deceived me, did they follow my will?" One hand was on the dragon head handle of the golden dragon chair, and he said coldly: "Wei Zheng, you are really bold!" ”
