Yan Qing's appearance at this time is like darkness outside, and there will really be many young scholars and officials who will be enthusiastic, and they can't wait to die for the righteous path of the society at this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, in this side hall, this kind of behavior is that Emperor Wanli will be confused, whether it is a eunuch or a minister, everyone looks at it indifferently.
Emperor Wanli was only stunned, and then looked at Wang Tong, his attitude and intentions Wang Tong naturally understood, Wang Tong turned his head and asked:
"Lord Yan, the Forbidden Army, the Jizhen Army, and the Datong Army are going to the northern frontier, and they may die in battle at any time.
Yan Qing snorted coldly and said:
"You are a treacherous villain who does not hesitate to fall into a critical situation for the sake of his own merits, if those soldiers die in battle, it is also a sacrifice of your personal ambition, and you are afraid that those soldiers will be bought by you, and become an eagle dog for you to drive, and become your accomplice."
Such words made Wang Tong's blood rise instantly, if it wasn't for the palace, Wang Tong had the mind to step forward and do it, he took a deep breath, and said solemnly:
"Wang led the army out of the fortress three times, outside the Zhangjiakou Fort of Xuanfu, outside the Gubei mouth, plus the Datong kill outside the tiger's mouth, the first two times were cut over two thousand, a dignified victory, the court issued a decree to praise, this time the northern Xinjiang attacked the naturalization city to destroy the answer department, killed nearly 50,000 enemies, our army was killed and wounded only 3,000, several battles have a big victory, the cost is so small but there are such results, even if Wang does not say, the soldier can also see that what Wang is doing is in the chest, very sure, how can it be said that it is a risk, how can it be said that it is in danger. ā¦ā¦
Several big victories show that Wang Tong has the ability to win, and the very few casualties in exchange for such brilliant results show that this battle is not a risk and a fluke, but a plan.
Yan Qing glanced at Wang Tong coldly, and just said:
"Clever words, treacherous villain!"
Wang Tong shook his head and said:
"Lord Yan, you said that it is harmful to Sheji, Wang and the Northern Expedition Army broke the Naturalization City and destroyed the great disaster in the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, the border town of the Ming Dynasty, nearly half of them will be peaceful, and how to count the anointed fields around the Naturalization City, how to count the gold and silver seized, and how much territory has been opened up for Your Majesty in this battle, is this also a disaster for Sheji?"
Wang Tong's voice gradually rose higher, and he raised his voice and asked:
"Your Majesty's loyal and brave soldiers threw their heads and spilled their blood, fighting with the captives, for what, not for the peace of this Ming border town, not for the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, Yan Shangshu You live in a peaceful place, above the temple, you don't see the sword soldiers, you don't see the iron blood, you say a few words lightly, do you want to wipe out the merits of these soldiers!?"
"The old man doesn't need to explain anything to a child like you, what the old man does, the world will judge justice!"
"You are fair!! The army is strictly disciplined, and after returning victorious, your disciples and grandchildren in Beijing are spreading rumors, saying that military discipline is corrupt and killing people, if this army is angered by your nonsense, if it really causes a big disaster, how can this responsibility be calculated, is it possible that Yan Shangshu will say that this is their wolf ambition? ā
Wang Tong questioned sharply again, Emperor Wanli listened very carefully, and without waiting for Yan Qing to speak, Wang Tong opened his mouth and said:
"Spread rumors and slander meritorious officers and soldiers, and instigated scholars and scholars to besiege the Jinyi Wei Yamen, Your Majesty, Yan Qing's actions are unpredictable, harboring evil intentions, he keeps saying that it is for the Daming Jiangshan Sheji, but look at his actions, but it is a scourge everywhere This Daming Jiangshan Sheji, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Shangshu is in charge of the promotion and selection of officials, such a critical position in such a person's manpower will be a disaster, please Your Majesty to be punished!!"
"Ridiculous!! What the old man does is for the country and the people, and he has no puppet in his heart! You kid turns black and white upside down, and your mouth is spewing blood!! Don't you know that there is still a fair king law in this world? ā
"The soldiers fought bloodily to open up the territory for His Majesty, how is it not in line with the law of the unjust king!?"
"You are a villain with horns on your head, the Ming system, at that time, you ruled the world with scholars, a martial artist like you, with strange skills and lewd tricks to please the saint, and with military merits to gain the rank of advancement, corrupt this ancestral system......"
What Wang Tong said was based on real evidence, but what Yan Qing said was an empty truth, and the reason was that even Emperor Wanli knew it in his heart, fighting for power in civil and military affairs, and Wang Tong was suspicious of his great achievements.
According to the habits of officialdom, after Wang Tong has made great achievements, he will be cautious and more low-key, in the face of such slanderous rumors, he should complain in private, but on the surface he smiled, but he didn't expect Wang Tong's counterattack to be so sharp and direct, or so simple and rude.
If I don't tell you any officialdom or rules, if you let people spread rumors, I will arrest the people who spread rumors, and if you let people besiege the yamen, I will arrest the people who besiege them, and then the court will make this matter clear.
Yan Qing was also talking, but it didn't sound convincing, he said a few words, and was coldly interrupted by Emperor Wanli:
"Yan Qing, Lian's territory has expanded, and Lian has such a feat, aren't you happy?"
Emperor Wanli's words, the side hall immediately quieted down, Yan Qing was the leader of Zhang Siwei's party, just now only someone wanted to come forward to help Yan Qing speak, but Emperor Wanli's cold words made the entire hall immediately know the direction of the wind.
Emperor Wanli tapped the case file presented by Wang Tong with his fingers, and said again:
"Spread rumors and make trouble, incite the people to besiege the official office, Yan Qing, as a minister of the court, are you like this for the country and the people? ā¦ā¦
Yan Qing was stunned there, then shook his head, took off his Jinxian crown with both hands, solemnly put it on the ground, and said solemnly:
"The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty! ā¦ā¦
The argument was so fierce, and after Emperor Wanli came to a conclusion, Yan Qingming could argue, but quickly admitted defeat, which made people a little surprised, Emperor Wanli looked at it a few times, and said:
"In that case......
"Your Majesty, please see that Yan Qing is an honest official, he has worked tirelessly, dealt with leniently, and what Yan Qing has done has also come out of Geng Geng's loyalty."
At this time, the cabinet assistant Shen Shixing slowly came out of the ranks, and said in a deep voice, the cabinet auxiliary Shen Shixing and Zhang Siwei and the party have always been on the same footing, and there is quite a * Shao in the court, at this time Shen Shixing came out to speak for Yan Qing, and everyone was stunned, and then Wang Xun, Yang Wei, Chen Jingbang and others reacted, and they all walked out of the column and knelt down, all of them pleaded for Yan Qing.
Emperor Wanli glanced down, and saw that Wang Tong was kneeling there with no change in his expression, he looked back again, Zhang Cheng nodded slightly, and Emperor Wanli said coldly:
"Go home, think about it for a few days behind closed doors, and think about whether what you are doing is right or wrong!"
What Yan Qing did was really studied from the law, there was really no sin to deal with strictly, and from Shen Shixing to all the bigwigs in the court came out of the column to plead, these faces were also to be given, and Emperor Wanli finally made this decision.
According to the quarrel in the court, Wang Tong took out the case file confession, this punishment that he had thought about behind closed doors was actually quite magnanimous, and everyone in the court could even know the next exhibition, which was nothing more than Yan Qing's resignation document to tell the old man and sick, and the palace asked him to return to his hometown, and the matter was over.
Yan Qing didn't have any joy on his face, but he thanked the emperor in a decent manner, knelt there and glanced at everyone in the hall, and then looked sideways at Wang Tong.
At this time, Wang Tong's face was indignant, in Yan Qing's eyes, Wang Tong was still very young, and it was easy to see whether such indignation was fake, it was indeed anger in his heart, and then looked at the other people in the court, the various cities and mansions were deep and subtle, Yan Qing sighed, but kowtowed on the ground again, got up and said:
"Your Majesty, my lords, Yan has done his duty and has no puppets."
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the hall tremblingly, the atmosphere in the hall was very strange, even Wang Tong was a little awkward, this Yan Qing was strong and reasonable, spreading rumors and making trouble, but it was so righteous and awe-inspiring, these actions Wang Tong also understood, Yan Qing had to make a gesture, and he couldn't let Wang Tong be an internal guard general, and the close ministers of the Son of Heaven climbed to a high position, and Wang Tong couldn't affect the pattern of the Ming Dynasty.
Yan Qingming clearly did the wrong thing, but he didn't think that he had done wrong, and he felt that he had taken the name of righteousness, which was really sad.
Wang Tong took a few deep breaths, it doesn't matter what Yan Qing thinks, what he did was wrong, for the sake of himself and his own group, he wanted to harm Wang Tong and the Ming Dynasty, this Wang Tong would not agree, he would resolutely fight back, and what he did to Yan Qing was only the first step.
Wang Tong went to the court on the first day, less than half an hour, Yan Qing, the top three ministers of the court, was ordered to think about it behind closed doors, although Yan Qing was going to return to his hometown in the morning, but it still made people feel sad to avoid death, everyone looked at Wang Tong who was kneeling there, and their hearts were awe-inspiring, and the corners of Wang Xijue's mouth were even more sneering.
Things have come to such a point, but the court meeting is a little unable to go on, everyone looks left and right, and they don't want to continue to discuss politics, so they wait for the Wanli Emperor to disperse the dynasty, and everyone goes to the cabinet to go to the cabinet, and go to the six ministries.
In such an atmosphere, Emperor Wanli didn't want to continue, so he cleared his throat and said:
"The army entered the city two days later, how is the preparation of the Beijing Division?"
"Back to Your Majesty, all the yamen in Beijing have carefully prepared, and the minister also went to inspect everywhere yesterday afternoon, everything is complete, please rest assured!"
Shen Shixing bowed down and said, Emperor Wanli nodded, patted the case file on the table, and was just about to speak, when he heard Wang Tong raise his voice again:
"Your Majesty, the minister still has one more matter!!"
There were not many people in the hall, but there was still some commotion, everyone was looking at Wang Tong, Emperor Wanli was stunned, and said in a deep voice:
"What?"
"Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to severely punish those officials who have neglected to say that the Northern Expedition army was defeated, that the Great Army colluded with the captives, and that the Great Army had ill intentions!!"
