Chapter 594: Concession

On the morning of the third day of the seventh lunar month, the tax-paying faction and the non-tax-paying faction fought to the death, and the non-tax-paying faction pointed directly at Liu Tingyuan, the core figure of the imperial party, and ousted Liu Tingyuan from power.

In the process of fighting, Cao Yubian completely overwhelmed Liu Tingyuan in terms of momentum.

Yang Reform is also unwilling to talk nonsense, and if he can't intercede, then he can only take the second way. Strive for Liu Tingyuan to make a plea agreement.

"Liu Bingbu? Liu Qingjia ......" Yang Gai shouted a few times. Liu Tingyuan shrunk his neck and stayed there, obviously wanting to resign.

"The minister is here." Liu Tingyuan immediately agreed.

"What about you? Cao Qing's family impeached you for these things, you said it yourself, is there any? Yang Gengai asked, looking impartial.

Liu Tingyuan was in a hurry.

Cao Yubian is like a victorious man, with his head held high, and he looks like Liu Tingyuan is dead.

"Lord Liu, Mo Fei, do you want the old man to remind you a few things, do you remember?" Cao Yubian saw Liu Tingyuan's declining image, and immediately said to Liu Tingyuan.

Liu Tingyuan also began to get annoyed, even if he did have a handle in the hands of someone, but it was not a piece of mud, let others cuōróu.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't remember, it's been so long, who still remembers it so clearly, if Lord Cao can give an example of a recent birth, the minister may still remember, there are people who asked about a few years ago, if I ask Lord Cao a few years ago, Lord Cao doesn't remember, does it also mean that Lord Cao is corrupt?" Liu Tingyuan is on fire, he originally looked like a decaying image, but now he is tǐng up, and he will not admit it to death, this is an impeachment, the most recent things are more than a year ago, all before he became the imperial party, and after he became the imperial party, there is nothing, Liu Tingyuan is a guy who likes to use his brain, xìng is a little bit of a villain, but he is not an upright gentleman, at least not Xu and Sun Zhi.

When the courtiers saw Liu Tingyuan fighting like this, they immediately looked sideways at the show, and it seemed that today's impeachment still had to be fought, and they all opened their eyes to watch the show.

Cao Yubian was so angry that his beard was blowing, Liu Tingyuan also had a lot of handles before becoming the emperor's party, and after becoming the emperor's party, what kind of handle did he have! Following the emperor, he still embezzled silver? Without this most important one, like what kind of connivance and inappropriate life, it is purely a matter of making up the numbers, it is not a big deal at all, not to mention that after Liu Tingyuan became the emperor party, people have also restrained a lot, even if there is any interference in the division and other things, after this guy becomes the emperor party, it is not a matter, people say that the emperor ordered, you go to the emperor and choke you to death.

Yang Gengai was amused, he originally wanted to give Liu Tingyuan a plea agreement, but he didn't expect that this guy was still a little anxious, but he would mess around, which is good, let's talk about the competition.

"Cao Qing's family, Liu Qing's family said that he didn't remember the past, and asked if the Qing family had it in the past year or two, if so, it could be said to Liu Qing's family." Yang Gengai laughed so hard in his stomach that he still looked fair on the surface.

Cao Yubian blew his beard for a long time and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has not been in the past one or two years, but it does not mean that the previous crimes can not be investigated, Your Majesty, the minister has evidence and witnesses!" Cao Yubian immediately said, emphasizing that he had evidence.

The ministers also saw that even Cao Yubian, who was known for his integrity, did not have the handle of Liu Tingyuan in the past one or two years, and it seemed that today's battle still had to be fought, and the winner would not be determined so quickly.

"That's it! Cao Qing's house, this is the early dynasty, not the Metropolitan Procuratorate, nor the lobby of the Criminal Department, even if there is evidence, could it be that they were called to corroborate it? Yang Gai said. The disadvantage of impeaching a person in the early court is obviously that it is impossible for the witness to go to the early court.

The situation on the field has brought Liu Tingyuan back a bit, although he is still at a disadvantage, but he has not fallen.

Although the situation has become unfavorable to Cao Yubian, Cao Yubian is not so anxious, he was blowing his beard before, but now, he is calmer.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a bit unorthodox, I think this is too harmonious, it is an important place to discuss state affairs, if anyone can come here, it is really funny, this is too and mén is not the same as the vegetable market? What is the face of the imperial court? Shi Feng came to see that the emperor had the upper hand, and immediately came out to stand for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that even if there is a witness, it should not be taken to say it in the early court, and it should also be asked by Yousi, and then the case will be reported, and then His Majesty will ......decide according to the case." ,

The ministers present also saw that today's non-tax payers impeached Liu Tingyuan in the early dynasty, and they were afraid that they would give the imperial party and the tax-paying faction a disgrace and kill the prestige of the imperial party's tax-paying faction, so they would impeach him on the spot, and they were so tough that they didn't give the emperor any face. Then, obviously, the non-tax faction obviously wants to knock down Liu Tingyuan with a stick, and it is impossible to let the matter drag on, and the more it drags on, the more likely it is to have accidents. However, it also found a gap for Liu Tingyuan, and he didn't deny or affirm it because he didn't remember, and the imperial party dragged the matter down successfully on the grounds that the witnesses could not go to the court. If Liu Tingyuan is not brought down today, if the judicial process is followed, obviously, I don't know when the case will be clarified, and even if it is clarified, how many procedures will have to be taken to get to the emperor, and if the emperor delays for a few more days, the matter may not be delayed until then, and at that time, there will be no sudden xìng in this matter, whether it is the back road, whether it is to bring down Liu Tingyuan, or the vacated interests, there will be changes. The people present watched the show one after another, and saw what other means the non-tax payers had.

Yang Reform is funny, this Liu Tingyuan, there are also some impatience, but he dragged things down and didn't fall on the spot, this ability is not bad, seeing that the emperor party echoed it again, he pressed his hand immediately.

The ministers quieted down and watched what the emperor had to say.

"Cao Qing's family, this Taihe Mén Palace, it is true that not everyone can come, and the imperial court also has a system, this point, the Qing family should know." Yang Gengai said with a smile.

Cao Yubian looked like he was a confident person, snorted, and said: "Your Majesty, the court law, the minister naturally knows, and he will not make it easily, just let people go to the palace, it is indeed not a system, this point, the minister agrees with it, the court is decent, and it does have to be maintained, however, the witnesses of the minister this time are not ordinary people, they are qualified to go to the palace." ”

Cao Yubian's remark shocked the people present, and there were many discussions, the witness is still qualified to go to the temple? This, I have to say, is quite surprising, and it is a bombshell.

Yang Reform was also surprised, those who are qualified to go to the palace, except for officials who are meritorious and famous, could it be that this guy can still make up a few officials to come out and testify? Then this is ......, Yang Reform has to admit that if Cao Yubian can do this, then they impeached Liu Tingyuan today, and they themselves admit it, which can be regarded as a defeat.

"I don't know who the Cao Qing family said is the witness who can go to the temple?" Yang Reform had to ask, things have come to this point, Yang Reform knows that Liu Tingyuan is really dead, it is not a little smart and means can be settled, it seems that he still has to prepare a second way.

"Back to Your Majesty, the former head of the Ministry of Ministers Zhang, the former head of the Ministry of Works." Cao Yubian immediately said the names of these two people aloud.

"Hmph, how can a criminal official be qualified to go to the temple? Lord Cao, could it be that this is too much and mén has become a prison in the Criminal Department? Liu Tingyuan still said strongly.

Everyone was still surprised that Cao Yubian had such a lot of energy, and used the officials who had committed crimes before as guns, and they didn't know how many benefits they had promised those two guys, and they were surprised by Liu Tingyuan's toughness.

"Okay, Lord Liu thinks that these two people are not qualified to go to the palace, so Master Li of the Criminal Department, can Lord Liu feel qualified?" Cao Yubian continued to hit Liu Tingyuan with a cold voice.

As soon as these words came out, everyone exclaimed, in addition to the criminal official, this witness actually has an incumbent official, which is really powerful! This is not a passer-by who buys vegetables in the vegetable market, although it is a little difficult to go to the temple with their official goods, but it is reasonable to go to the temple just by using their identity as witnesses, and it is obviously too much to worry about the identity of the witnesses. This drama has become more and more jīng color.

When Liu Tingyuan heard this, some of the jīng gods that had just gathered were gone, and now he realized why the emperor said that he couldn't keep him, it seems that if anyone doesn't knock him to the ground today, they won't let go.

“…… Your Majesty! The minister implored His Majesty to summon this person to the temple, and His Majesty would know as soon as he asked. Cao Yubian said immediately.

"Liu Qingjia, do you have anything to say?" Seeing that things had reached this point, Yang Gengai was ready to make Liu Tingyuan confess his guilt and make a plea agreement.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister does know this person, but he thinks that he has nothing to do with it." Liu Tingyuan said.

"Cao Qingjia, what do you say?" Yang Gai asked Cao Yubian again, and it could be seen that Liu Tingyuan didn't want to admit his guilt like this, and it is estimated that he also had his own ideas.

"Back to Your Majesty, since Lord Liu refuses to admit his guilt, the minister suggests that Your Majesty summon Director Li of the Criminal Department to the palace, Your Majesty can ask clearly, and it would be better to confront him face to face." Cao Yubian looked like he was winning. ,

Bi Ziyan can't stand it anymore, and if it goes on like this, it may delay the emperor's affairs.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word to show your Majesty." Bi Ziyan said.

"Oh, what's the matter with Bi Qing's family?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is related to the face of the court, can you postpone it? Now the imperial court has finally won a victory in the Sancha River, which has greatly boosted the morale of my Ming Dynasty, and in two days it is a prisoner sacrifice ceremony that I have not had in the Ming Dynasty for many years, so important at the moment, if the imperial court reports that something happened to the military department, this is a big blow to the morale of my dynasty! This victory in the Sancha River, this ceremony of sacrificing prisoners, is just a basin of cold water! Your Majesty, even if Lord Liu really committed a crime, the minister thought that it should be postponed, and at this time, it was definitely not the time to deal with this matter. Bi Ziyan voiced his concerns.

"Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with Lord Bi's words, now this is a critical head, it is really not appropriate to let the DPRK move, not to mention the Ministry of War, now I have several great victories in the Ming Dynasty, all of which were won during the tenure of Lord Liu, Lord Liu, there is no merit and hard work, if you impeach Lord Liu so at this time, what do outsiders think? What do the soldiers think? What do people in the world think? If Dongyu knew about this, I was afraid that he would laugh off his big teeth and laugh at me Daming for helping them get rid of Lord Liu, who they had always dreamed of, wouldn't this be in the hands of the Tartars? The people of the imperial party came out and began to intercede, and began to take credit for Liu Tingyuan and tell the truth.

In this way, there are also many ministers who think it is good, at this juncture, it stands to reason that the military department should not be moved, otherwise, it is a great victory for the Sancha River and a basin of cold water for the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, in addition to making the people feel that the internal struggle in the court is fierce, but also makes the Tartars laugh off their big teeth.

However, everyone knows that today's incident is a partisan and a conflict of interests, even if it is a great victory in the Sancha River, and such a major event as the sacrifice of prisoners is ahead, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the incident, and many people are shaking their heads one after another.

"Humph! Your Majesty, it's really hard for the ministers to agree with Lord Bi's words, could it be that I, as the imperial historian, have to be appeased and raised? The responsibility of our imperial history is to impeach Baisi, for the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, why can't Liu Tingyuan be impeached? The minister also thinks that it is not good to pour cold water on the victory of the Sancha River, but the minister also has to impeach, which is the responsibility of the department, even if it is hindered, it is impossible. Cao Yubian immediately said, showing his responsibilities.

"Your Majesty, if you agree with Lord Cao, we are waiting for the imperial history to be set up to impeach the hundred divisions, how can there be any reason not to impeach? If this is the case, Your Majesty might as well eliminate the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Immediately someone came up with the oxen.

This time, on the main hall, it is beginning to luàn. The imperialist tax-paying faction and the non-tax-paying faction pinched each other.

“…… Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Master Bi is right, no matter what, he must wait until the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners has passed, otherwise, everyone in the world will look sideways......"

“…… Your Majesty, Lord Liu is guilty of a heinous crime, if he is not impeached as soon as possible, he will endanger the imperial court, and sooner or later he will harm my Ming Dynasty......"

“…… Your Majesty, this is not the time to talk about this matter, if Lord Liu is impeached, how will the people of the world think of me? How to look at the imperial court? Your Majesty, everyone in the world will look sideways? ”

……

Those who support and those who oppose come to the court one after another, express their opinions, and what they say makes sense.

One party bites Liu Tingyuan to death There is a problem, and he must be impeached immediately, and Liu Tingyuan must be asked to get out immediately; On the other hand, the prisoners were about to be sacrificed with a great victory, and it was not appropriate to move the military department that had contributed to the Sancha River.

Yang Reform originally planned to ask Liu Tingyuan to make a plea agreement, but he admitted his mistake. Looking at the situation now, I also know that I think something is wrong. In fact, today's party struggle has become a "party struggle" between the tax-paying faction and the non-tax-paying faction, because of the relationship between interests, the originally relatively relaxed fighting situation has reached a white-hot level, to the point where water and fire are incompatible. No wonder Liu Tingyuan is very stubborn and refuses to admit defeat. Easily admit defeat, afraid that the problem will be more serious, is not as simple as I arranged earlier.

Yang reformed once again realized the terrible aspects of "party struggle." But fortunately, the current situation has been muddyed to this point, but you can do something to facilitate your own holy judgment.

Yang Reform has comprehended some things, it seems that the means must be tougher, and it is not possible to always think about compromise and forbearance. Both hands pressed.

The crowd that was still arguing immediately quieted down and looked at the emperor to see what the emperor said. ,

"Okay, everyone, everyone has a point, the impeachment of the imperial history is their duty, this is right, but the sacrifice of prisoners is imminent, and we must not take the face of the court seriously, the victory of the Sancha River is a rare victory of my Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be discredited casually, even if the Liu Qing family is really guilty, I will wait for the prisoner sacrifice ceremony to pass...... "Yang Reform is ready for a holy judgment." Yang Reform also felt that the relatively relaxed methods in the past were becoming more and more inadequate.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is acting unfairly......" Cao Yubian jī shouted movingly, and the person seemed to tremble a little because of the jī movement of his voice.

"It's not that I'm unfair, it's just that things have priorities, the Qing family impeached Liu Tingyuan, I never blamed the Qing family, I always thought it was right, but if it is compared with the sacrifice of prisoners, this is light, I don't want to sacrifice prisoners, there are any unpleasant words, I also have to maintain the face of the court, and I also have to consider the blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers." Yang Reform took advantage of the trend and took the opportunity to drag things down.

Cao Yubian didn't know if it was angry or jī moving, and he trembled.

"Your Majesty, you are unjust! Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to summon witnesses to the Temple. Cao Yubian shouted.

"Okay, Cao Qing's family, I know, this matter, let's wait until after the prisoner is sacrificed, after the prisoner sacrifice, what is the crime of Liu Qing's family, the Qing family can only impeach, I will definitely listen to the Qing family." Yang Gai said.

"Your Majesty! Please make your judgment clear. Han Yi shouted sharply, and fell to his knees, this trembling figure seemed to be a sick patient.

"Your Majesty, please make a clear decision!" Those oppositionists, when they saw Cao Yubian kneeling, immediately knelt down and shouted for a clear decision, with the intention of not making a fool of himself today and not giving up.

Yang Reform looks, I rely on it, it's "e" again, is there no other way?

The other ministers, seeing that someone had put on an "e", were no longer able to come out and say anything, using the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners as an excuse to say that it was okay, but if they wanted to fight for this, it was a little too much, so they could only stand and watch the group of people make "e".

The form on the field, and then this reversal.

Yang reform's anger also came up, he worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, this group of guys, eat the Ming Dynasty, wear the Ming Dynasty, use the Ming Dynasty, enjoy the Ming Dynasty, but they are doing things that harm the Ming Dynasty, and if they don't push the Ming Dynasty into the abyss, they will not stop.

Yang Reform's temper suddenly exploded.

"Enough!" Yang Gengai let out a loud shout and stood up from the throne abruptly.

This shout was really a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the hall that shook was actually buzzing. The people who made "e" and those who didn't make "e" were all surprised and quieted down, looking at the emperor who was angry.

The "e" led by Cao Yubian was interrupted by the emperor's loud shout, and looked at the emperor in surprise, the emperor who had always had a good temper, why did this voice sound so loud this time?

The emperor, who has always been gentle and kind, suddenly became popular, so that many ministers couldn't adapt to it, and there was a quiet scene in the court.

"Some people just can't see me win the battle, they just can't tolerate any achievements from me, and I finally won a big victory in the Sancha River, so I stumbled and nailed and sand on me. The world's major events, only Rong and ritual, now that I have won the battle, what is more important than the sacrifice of prisoners? Can't afford to wait for a few days? How urgent is it? Liu Tingyuan, is he going to run away or rebel? Yang Gai said loudly, shouting out the unhappiness in his heart.

Everyone scolded the emperor for being stupid, but Cao Yubian didn't. Although he was also a little surprised, the more the emperor scolded angrily, the more he was also a master who would not give up until he reached his goal, and immediately stood up and slammed into the pillars of the main hall, and was about to die.

This collision frightened the ministers, and everyone hurried to stop it.

I don't know if Cao Yubian is old and frail, or if he has been kneeling for a long time and his body is weak, he only ran a few steps before he fell to the ground and didn't hit the pillar. The surrounding ministers immediately pulled Cao Yubian away, pinched the people in the middle, and shouted.

Yang Reform was very angry, he had such a good temper and made them máo, and he gave himself a death play, if he had the ability, he really bumped into it, and he respected you as a gentleman, but what is it to faint to death after running two steps? Yang Gai scolded despicable in his heart.

However, Yang Reform also knew that if someone really died, it would also have a great impact on himself, and he would ruin his reputation, spread it outside, and be processed by others, and an emperor who was mediocre and a dead minister would be himself.

The ministers were busy for a while, and finally woke up Cao Yubian, a guy in his seventies and eighties.

Cao Yubian woke up and stared at Yang Reform without saying a word. The ministers also followed Cao Yubian and stared at Yang Reform without saying a word, ready to see what the emperor would do. ,

Yang Reform was full of fire and nowhere to go, and he was stared at by Cao Yubian's dead fish eyes, and his heart was even more unhappy.

"Decree, suspend Liu Tingyuan's post as the secretary of the military department, and wait for the division to verify it." Yang Reform was stared at and couldn't do anything, he scolded in his heart that it was not a thing, and now "e" is not counted, and he has to play self-harm with himself and hit the wall. Such a jīlie is to bring the Ming Dynasty into the abyss, it is really not a thing, seeing such an old person hitting the wall, Yang Reform still can't bear it, so he can only make concessions.

In the main hall, it was quiet, and everyone knew that in this competition, the non-tax faction was temporarily ahead, and the drama sang to this point, and "the knife saw blood" almost became true.

The emperors were a little dejected and silent.

The opposition was triumphant and victorious.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The opposition began to enjoy the fruits of victory.

Liu Tingyuan looked at the emperor, and then at that Cao Yubian, looking very bad at Cao Yubian.

"Retreat!" Yang Gai turned around and walked out of Taihe Mén. Leave behind a place to chant the Holy Wisdom.

……

Yang reformed Taihe mén, and people calmed down, and the anger came and went quickly. This time it can be regarded as a loss, but you can't always stay in this matter, Liu Tingyuan has fallen, and the position of the secretary of the military department is vacant, who is the secretary of the military department, I am afraid that there will be a fight, and the people on both sides are afraid that they will have to fight.

Yang Reform also has his own candidates, and he has also circled several people to be elected by the opposition, and he has also thought of some countermeasures. However, after today's incident, Yang Reform sighed again, there are few people around him who are staff officers for themselves! Otherwise, there will be such a quarrel with the ministers? Let those people pour a basin of cold water on the head of the Sancha River Dajie, which is really enough.

Yang Gai remembered Sun Chengzong again and hoped that Sun Chengzong would come back as soon as possible.

……

Shandong Confucius House.

A man in his thirties was sitting in the study, staring at the desk in a daze.

This study, in the Kong family, is also the very core of the place, and usually, few people dare to disturb it.

Kong Yinzhi is the master of this study, and he is also the owner of the Confucian Mansion, and he is currently the Holy Duke of Yan.

The words on this desk are very strange, not the famous words and sentences excerpted from the book, nor are they words with profound meaning and long-term meaning, but the words "Yang reform, Baidu".

Kong Yinzhi looked at these words intently, these words were sent from the capital, and it is said that they were the names used by the son of today outside the palace.

"Reform ......"

"Reform ......"

Kong Yinzhi read and read these words, read and read, looked and looked, his brows tightened again, and he fell into deep contemplation.

Their Confucian family has enjoyed wealth and wealth for generations, and that generation will provide for their families. But in today's Chongzhen Dynasty, the word "reform" makes Kong Yinzhi feel a little frightened.

Opened the letter from the capital again, the letter was about the dispute over Confucian characters thrown out by the emperor, Kong Yinzhi looked at it again, and his brows couldn't help frowning higher.

"Need?"

"What do people need? ……”

In the study, it was unusually quiet, only Kong Yinzhi muttered softly.

After reading it for a while, Kong Yinzhi seemed puzzled, and put back the letter that he had read countless times, and picked up another letter instead.

This letter has been read countless times, judging from the texture of the paper, it is quite good, but if you look at the degree of wear, it is quite amazing, and it is by no means an ordinary letter that is put away after reading it once or twice.

Kong Yinzhi opened the letter, and between the lines of the letter, he was even more shocked, and his forehead wrinkled even higher.

“…… A 100-year plan, education-oriented......"

“…… Now it is rumored in the capital that the teachings of the ancestors are contrary to the reality, the ideas of the ancestors and the teaching and educating people, spreading the truth ......, everyone has a book to read, it must be a rare event, if the ancestors have knowledge, they must be gratified......"

“…… As the people say, if everyone has books to read, can everyone be an official? ……”

“…… Is it a great event for everyone to have a book to read, or is it a great event for my Confucians? If you can't be an official, how many people are willing to study? ……”

“…… If everyone in the world reads, how many officials should be......"

“…… If everyone has a book to read, can my Confucianism still enjoy the same respect as it does today? ……”

“…… Why Read? ……”

Looking at these words sent from the capital, Kong Yinzhi only felt an indescribable horror all over his body, and he never doubted that there would be a problem with his ancestor's remarks.

But when the current Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he had to think about these issues, one thing after another came, which made Kong Yinzhi feel more and more uneasy, other people's families may not be as sensitive as theirs, maybe they don't care too much, but his family is Yan Shenggong, these problems, he has to think about them?

Go? Roa。
