Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, it is not particularly rare for mobs to break down cities and kill officials and rob officials, especially in southern Jiangxi and Guangxi, where this kind of thing happened, and the courtiers did not blink.

But this time is different, one is that it happened near the ancestral tomb of Huaisi, the land of Longxing Zhaoji in the Ming Dynasty. The second is that whether it is friend or foe, you have to admit that Li You has just made meritorious contributions to Jiangshan Sheji (although the level is to be determined), and it is also to save the ancestral tomb that he was hated by the people of Sizhou, and he was robbed and disappeared in a blink of an eye, whose face is this?

Immediately a person flashed out of the train, it was Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he had to move, and said angrily to the Queen Mother: "Great achievements are not recounted, meritorious heroes are not rewarded, the people's hearts are uncertain, right and wrong are not clear, and the delay has finally caused a big change!" If it weren't for the hesitation of the imperial court, why would it mislead the people of Sizhou into thinking that Li You was a guilty person! If everything in the world is like this, it is enough to chill the hearts of hundreds of officials, just ask who is still available! Who else is available! I think that Yang Cheng let Li You be besieged by the mob, and his heart can be punished! ”

This old Shangshu has always been blunt in what he wants to say, his strong qualifications are here, who can have his forty-five years of officialdom qualifications?

Don't look at Lao Shangshu is only in his early sixties, he is not the oldest, but when it comes to officialdom, he started to be an official at the age of sixteen, and he is actually the same era as the deceased old Shoufu Zhang Ruoyu. In addition, the sixty-eight-year-old Peng Ge Lao can be regarded as his contemporary, but he still entered the officialdom a few years later than Lu Shangshu.

And Lu Shangshu has no scruples about speaking for Li You, Li You is from his disciple, which can be compared to the existence of relatives and descendants. Therefore, it is normal for Lao Shangshu to openly protect his shortcomings in the eyes of others, just like when Lao Shangshu repeatedly scolded Li You in the court to shut up and get down.

But Lao Shangshu's words were full of anger, not like a fake, and others would know that he was really angry, rather than pretending to be a gesture. This first cannon ignited the atmosphere in the temple.

"The minister is careful, the governor of Fengyang brazenly drove Li You out of the gate and suddenly caused an incident, whether there are any shortcomings must be carefully investigated, otherwise how can he convince people! In addition, this year is eventful in the Yellow River, and Yang is responsible for managing the river! ”

"The heroes were robbed, and the public opinion was difficult to settle, so I implore the court to investigate clearly, to show the public, and to make people happy!"

There are not many people who speak, only a few, but it has almost formed a one-sided situation, because it is difficult to speak at this time if there is a desire to excuse Yang Futai.

Xuyi Zhixian would never dare to deceive the court with this matter, so it must have happened. But what is the inside story, they are far away in Beijing, almost two thousand miles away from Huaisi, and everyone is looking at flowers in the fog. In this case, who dares to guarantee that Governor Yang is 100% innocent?

In such a major matter, if you defend Governor Yang, if you find out that Governor Yang made a mistake afterwards, wouldn't you be troubled?

Therefore, unless it is a hardcore relative and friend who has a good relationship with Governor Yang, there is really no need to throw himself into troubled waters, at most he will help a few words, "Lord Yang is not like such a person, there is no real evidence, so don't judge it presumptuously." In terms of momentum, it is inferior to helping Li You speak.

Scholar Xu Daxue, the second assistant, has not spoken today, and as a rational bureaucrat who is already extremely close to the pole of the people, there are more issues to consider. Besides, there are others in the front line, and when it comes to his position, there is no need to express his position easily.

In his own faction, a descendant of the Zhengliupin faction had a conflict with a very heavy feudal official outside the faction, and he had to carefully weigh the pros and cons carefully, rather than blindly being brainless. Sometimes excessive favoritism is not helping others, but harming others, and in politics, it is necessary to compromise when it is time to compromise after considering the whole picture.

In fact, Xu Cifu's way of thinking is something that Li You can understand and imagine, after all, he has been cultivated and trained in the most intense way in the cabinet temple for more than half a year. But it was also what he was worried about, let others compromise, Lord Li was happy to see it happen, but when the compromise reached his own merit book, Lord Li couldn't accept it and didn't want to accept it, otherwise he wouldn't have made trouble with these books.

Yes, Xu Cifu's thinking is very right, but the atmosphere in the DPRK and China seems to have become like this... Originally, the atmosphere was evenly matched or slightly biased towards the second-grade Yang Futai, but after Li You rendered the pathos, it was very different.

If the situation is like this, if he doesn't support Li You's words at this time, he will inevitably arouse suspicion. On the other hand, it is not good to be regarded as unsympathetic, everyone knows that Li You has helped him make great contributions.

So Xu Cifu stood up and said in a decisive tone: "Whether it is merit or virtue, there is a word for virtue." When the ancestral gods shine candles in the upper cave, how can they only talk about merit and morality? Even if the merits of the ancestral tomb, Li You and Yang Futai each have their own half, but if they are judged by virtue, how can they be confused? ”

"Li You had the foresight to decide Sizhou, carried the infamy for the imperial court and has not complained or spoken so far, took the lead in the embankment flood control, and died and martyred at the critical moment, which is a conclusive and verifiable thing. It is still doubtful whether Yang Futai decided to discharge the flood from Gaojiayan, and he did not do anything when the ancestral tomb was in danger frequently, but when he finally heard that the ancestral tomb was out of danger, he hurriedly went to the court, and sat back and watched Li You fall into the hands of the mob outside the gate. Can you pay homage to your ancestors? ”

In the end, Xu Cifu brought out another big killer: "I read and smelled, the solidity of mountains and rivers is not in danger in Germany..."

The ministers in the palace said in unison, I damn it! It's worthy of the second assistant.,As soon as he spoke, the question of the two competing for credit was elevated to the highest degree of "ideology".,Although the hypocrisy makes people want to vomit.,But no one can openly deny it.。

The Queen Mother was helpless, and ordered: "You have to find Li You's whereabouts, and the person who kidnapped Li You will correct the law on the spot!" The Ministry of Industry played for Li You's meritorious work. ”

added another sentence, "The Huanghuai River is not proper this year because the water is too large, Li You's distress is Yang Cheng's unintentional mistake, and there is nothing to do for others, so there is no need to be harsh on the Fengyang Governor Yamen." Yang was fined a salary reduction of one level, and the original position was retained. ”

It's a balance again, but the ministers are used to it, and there are no objections.

Just as they were about to disperse, suddenly a new piece of music was sent into the main hall, and the eunuch in the clerical room announced: "This is Li You's performance." ”

It is said that this is not in accordance with the rules, but the clerical room has already been instructed by the Queen Mother that when Li You's recital arrives, it will be delivered to her as soon as possible.

Master Lee's first book was eye-catching, but unfortunately it was disappointing after circulation, and there was no surprise.

“… When the ancestral tomb was in danger, the minister did not think about his family name, and tried his best to protect the ancestral tomb.

The hometown of the people of Sizhou was completely destroyed, full of floods, and it was normal for people to be angry for a while. The imperial court should try its best to soothe, choose a place to settle, give more favors, and slowly dissipate, and never add fuel to the fire.

As for the grievances suffered by the ministers, the people of Sizhou are excusable, and I hope that the imperial court will not take this as a thought, and should focus on the overall situation of the people after the disaster. The people who kidnapped the ministers have been influenced by the court to admit their mistakes, and the women in the clan have been compensated to the ministers as concubines, and since they have reconciled with the ministers as relatives, they hope that the court will no longer pursue them. ”

Scholar Xu was still half-convinced and worried about Li You's safety, but when he saw this recital, he was convinced that he couldn't help but cry and laugh for Li You again. The reason is very simple, is Li You a person who is magnanimous enough to repay grievances with virtue? This Yang Futai is really rotten wood that cannot be carved, and that Li You is still in style, he has been suppressed to the place and fought alone, but the spirit and combat effectiveness of the dead dog on the wall have not been weakened at all.
