Chapter 13: Differentiation

At present, hundreds of officials are targeting Yue Su, and the emperor is trying to protect Yue Su, but it is difficult to judge what the result will be. However, Li Yuanchen adheres to a principle, unless Yue Su is really going to be finished, he must help him. After all, now, Yue Su still has the support of the emperor, as long as he rebounds, the future is bright. If you miss it, I'm afraid you will regret it.

Besides, he can't give up easily for his sister.

He first inquired about the emperor's attitude, and after listening to Yue Su's story, he also had some bottom in his heart. Even so, whether Yue Su can pass this difficult hurdle, Li Yuanchen does not dare to guarantee. Because, the news he got was not good for Yue Su to get home.

"Brother Xian, listen to your tone, this news seems to be very unfavorable to me, I don't know what news you have got?" Yue Su immediately asked.

"I heard that today, the big and small officials in the capital have reached an agreement, and they want to kneel down to the emperor and ask for a result on your brother's matter. If the emperor is biased, they will not rise. But this is not worse, the Shilin students from the four provinces of Beizhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan have also entered Beijing, and the scholars of the United Nations Zijian plan to hold the tablet of Confucius, the sage of benevolence, to beat the Dengwen drum outside the Forbidden City, and kneel to ask the emperor to give a result. If the emperor doesn't give them an explanation, not only will they not be able to kneel down, but they will also say that in these four provinces, no one will participate in the hospital examination, the township examination, or the general examination in the future. Li Yuanchen said solemnly.

Hearing these words, Yue Su wrinkled, and all the ministers united and knelt down to beg the emperor, the pressure was already great enough. The scholars of these four provinces are making such a fuss, and they are going to turn the sky upside down, can the emperor still be able to keep himself, Yue Su is a little unsure.

The system of the Ming Dynasty is a little different from that of various eras, in other eras, as long as the student disturbance is suppressed, it will pass, but in the Ming Dynasty, the emphasis is on the emperor and the scholars to govern the world together. What is a scholar, it is these people in the forest, they twist into a rope, it will be a great force. This force has been fighting against the imperial power and fighting with the emperor, how powerful it is, you can imagine.

Yue Su was silent, he didn't know what to do.

Li Yuanchen saw the sad look on Yue Su's face and said, "Brother, I have a method here, although I don't know if it will work, but at least it can relieve some pressure on the emperor." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Yue Su immediately asked, "What method?" ”

Li Yuanchen showed a mysterious smile on his face, he walked up to Yue Su's side and muttered in a low voice: "So so, so and so ......."

Early the next morning, Yue Su took a sedan chair to the court, got off the sedan chair at the noon gate, and walked inward. Along the way, he met many officials, but no matter who it was, none of them greeted him.

After entering the court room, it was still the same, and even the Chu Party personnel who would be polite to him before, none of them approached. In the not very large courtroom, Yue Su stood alone for a third of the place, and the other people, crowded into the two-thirds, obviously respected Lord Yue, and did not intend to be involved with him.

After waiting for a while, the Jingyang bell rang, and hundreds of officials went to the Huangji Hall one after another. When he arrived at the palace, he stood according to his grade, and then the emperor arrived, and Baiguanshan shouted long live.

When Carpenter Zhu said that the Qing family was exempt, it was the turn of the eunuch on duty to shout, "There is a book to go out of class and play early, and there is no book to retreat from the court."

Today, all the officials are ready, just wait for the eunuch to finish this sentence, and then go out together to impeach Yue Su. However, something unexpected happened.

Without waiting for the eunuch on duty to finish shouting this sentence, that is, when he just shouted "No Book Roller Blind", Yue Su suddenly rushed to stand up, "Chen Yue Su has a book!" ”

"What is Yue Aiqing's chapter?" Carpenter Zhu said with a smile.

The last dynasty has the rules of the upper dynasty, whoever starts first, who finishes first, and it is not allowed to interrupt others before they finish speaking. Especially if the emperor has already asked, he is not allowed to come out and interrupt, otherwise he is waiting for the emperor to scold. Everyone is an intellectual, and of course it is not easy to do such things.

All the officials in the palace focused their eyes on Yue Su's body, and they didn't know what he was going to do. However, it doesn't matter what you play, when you finish playing, everyone will join you.

"The minister intends to protect two people." Yue Su said loudly.

"Who are the Qing family going to protect?" Carpenter Zhu was also a little puzzled, I don't know why Yue Su had a whim today, and he planned to protect people, what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd.

Then I heard Yue Su say loudly: "The minister plans to protect the former first assistant Fang Congzhe and the original capital Taichang Shaoqing Qi Shijiao. During Fang Shoufu's tenure, he had many political achievements, and often shared worries for the first emperor, and made great contributions. Helplessly killed by the annihilation, was forced to Zhishi, and now that the annihilation has been removed, it is reasonable to ask the old cabinet to return to the court, re-enter the cabinet, and serve the country. Taichang Shaoqing Qi, during his tenure, he made many achievements, was an upright official, and was famous, but also because he was excluded by the annihilation, so he had no choice but to become a leader. Now that the court is employing people, I hope that the emperor will recruit the emperor to re-enter the court. ”

As soon as I heard that Yue Su suggested that the emperor invite Fang Congzhe to re-enter the cabinet, the eunuch party immediately quit, the Donglin party was defeated by us, why let Fang Congzhe come back and enjoy the success. At that moment, Zhu Yanxi, the cabinet minister, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers oppose Lord Yue's proposal. During the reign of Fang Ge Lao, he did have quite a lot of merits, but he was old and embarrassed to be reused, so it was better to live at home. ”

At the beginning, Fang Congzhe was implicated in the Red Pill case and was forced to become a minister. But among them, it has nothing to do with him, it is simply the Donglin Party that detains the basin for him, and there is no excuse for the crime he wants to add. But now, when Gonggong Wei overthrew the Donglin Party, he once mentioned this matter, saying that the Donglin Annihilation Party was stingy, deceived Shengcong, and framed the virtuous ministers. Invisibly, that is, he rehabilitated Zhaoxue for Fang Congzhe.

So, the eunuch slapped himself, saying that Fang Congzhe was guilty, and he could only say that he was old and could not be used again.

As soon as this statement was settled, it was immediately opposed by other officials. The officials who opposed him were, of course, members of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang. After Fang Congzhe left, the officials of the three parties were persecuted by the Donglin Party, some of them defected to Gonggong Wei in desperation, and some of them regarded themselves as high, but did not defect to the eunuch party, but only Mingzhe to protect his life. Now that he saw Yue Su Bao Fang coming back from Zhe, his attitude towards Yue Su changed instantly, cheating was no longer important, and it would be said later, inviting his backstage back was the first priority.

Wang Xianzhong, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Yue's words are reasonable. During the reign of the elder Fang Ge, he had many meritorious achievements in the country's society, and now he is far away from the rivers and lakes, and he is still worried about the country and the people, and misses the emperor, which is really my example for hundreds of officials. The elder of the pavilion is slightly taller, but he is in good health, and he can still share the worries of the emperor and serve the community. ”

Good guy, in the court, it was immediately chaotic, and Yue Su's matter was completely left behind, and they all explained whether to recruit Fang from Zhe to the court again. The people in the eunuch party are naturally opposed, but in terms of momentum, it is obviously not as strong as when they confronted Donglin before. Why, because many of the eunuch parties are the original three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang. There is no problem with letting these people join the Donglin Party and go to Yuesu together, but it is impossible for them to speak ill of Fang Congzhe. At best, not saying a word.

Those of the three parties who did not follow Wei's father-in-law vied with each other to express their stance and support Yue Su. Even some non-party officials, because they couldn't get used to Wei's father-in-law, also coaxed and expressed their support for Fang Congzhe's re-entry into the court.

The two are-for-tat, you say a word to me, at first it was difficult to distinguish between the two, but gradually later, the eunuch party could not talk about others. What's going on, there is really no reason to scold Fang Congzhe, it is the same to say that Fang Congzhe is old, and it is better to care for the elderly at home. But on the other hand, Fang Congzhe became the first capable minister of the Ming Dynasty and the first loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he kept saying good things. It is true that such intellectuals have a strong ability to scold and praise people.

Wei Zhongxian came to the court with Wang Tiqian today, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but secretly begging: "Yue Su is so powerful, he must have expected that the officials of the Manchu Dynasty would join him today, so he moved out of Fang Congzhe to divide the ministers." Fang Congzhe's status in the minds of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang is still very high, as long as he comes back and shouts, many people will stand up. It's just that I don't know, what does Yue Su have to do with Old Man Fang, if he moved him out because of an urgent need, then it's okay to say, but if he is in the same party as Old Man Fang, and waits for this opportunity to ask Fang Congzhe to come out of the mountain again, then he is too tall. ”

Thinking of this, Grandpa Wei couldn't help but gasp.

Facts have proved that there are masters, but not Yue Su, but Li Yuanchen. Li Yuanchen gave Yue Su the idea last night, hoping that he could take the first step to ensure that Fang Congzhe and Qi Shijiao re-entered the court before the ministers joined him. In this way, he can not only divert the contradictions, but also divide the ministers and win over the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang to stand on his side. When it comes time to join him, even if these people don't stand up and speak for him, they can at least do it without falling into the ground. As long as it is not for the whole court to kneel on the ground and force the emperor together, the pressure on the emperor will not be so great, and everything will be easy to say.

Everything was as Li Yuanchen expected, after Yue Su moved out of Fang Congzhe, the court was in a mess.

Carpenter Zhu was originally waiting for the ministers to come to Yuesu, but when the situation became like this, he was inevitably a little happy in his heart. I secretly thought in my heart, Yue Qing really has a lot of eyes, it is good to come up with this idea at a critical moment, let them quarrel.

There are still people in the hall who understand, and they can see Yue Su's thoughts, so noisy, and after a while, the emperor will roll up the curtain and retreat, and there will be no chance to participate in Yue Su. Gu Bingqian glanced at Wei Zhongxian, then at Wei Guangwei beside him, tugged at Wei Guangwei's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Xian, you can't go on in such a mess." ”

Wei Guangwei's words are obvious. He also reacted immediately, the big guy didn't obviously fall for Yue Su, if he continued like this, Yue Su didn't fall, and his family fell apart first. After hesitating for a moment, he went out of the class and said: "Long live Qiyu, the minister has this music." ”

"Wei Qingjia, do you have any chapters to play, is it to protect Fang Congzhe or to oppose it?" Carpenter Zhu asked deliberately.

"The matter that the minister wants to play has nothing to do with Fang Ge Lao, but has something to do with Yue Shaobao. Some time ago, it was said that Yue Shaobao cheated in the Chen Imperial Examination, and his fame was not right. Hundreds of officials were impeached one after another, but all of them were left in the middle by His Majesty, and only said that after Yue Shaobao returned to Beijing, he would make plans. Now that Yue Shaobao has returned to Beijing, I don't know what the emperor is going to do? Wei Guangwei said with a righteous face.
