Chapter 160: The Ministers Have a Confession
The thief shouts to catch the thief!
As soon as Shang Yang's voice fell, the entire court was suddenly quiet, and those who could stand here were all ministers of the imperial court, and the various cities were extremely deep, and they always paid attention to euphemism in their speech, and what they said was that there were words in the words, and they bent their intestines and went around again and again, how could there be a stunned young man who spoke so straightforwardly? But if you want to say that Shang Yang is stunned, who will believe it?
The officials in the court have different expressions, such as Lin Guodong, who has a flexible mind, can't help but roll his eyes and think about it more.
As for the parties, Wei Changhong almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he knew that Shang Yang would not say anything good when he stood up, but how could he speak like this?
Wei Changhong's beard was all open, and he pointed at Shang Yang angrily and said: "Shang Yang, this is the court, and you have to be responsible when you speak!"
"Isn't what this official said the truth?" Shang Yang sneered and said, "There is a corruption case in your river yamen, and your river yamen investigates it yourself, what can you find out?"
"The court has its own rules. Wei Changhong said: "Since the establishment of the river yamen, it has been operated like this, this is the rule, it is the tradition, and it is also the court system, Shang Yang, this official reads that you are new to the court politics, and you still don't know a little about the court, if you apologize on the spot today, the matter will be settled, otherwise, I will ask Your Majesty to impeach you Shang Yang to cause trouble in the court, and return me to the river Yamen a justice." β
"Hehe, Your Majesty is here, why bother to invite again?" Shang Yang sneered at Wei Changhong, then turned around, knelt down towards Wang Mang, and said loudly: " Since the minister was appointed as the minister of the imperial court to change the law, he has been worried all night, lest he not be able to change the program of the dynasty, raise the national strength of the Great Qin, and promote the national prestige of the Great Qin, the minister recently, heard that the river yamen self-examined their own corruption, deeply ridiculous, all over the history, all over the country, there has never been such a strange news, and the minister consulted the files of the previous dynasties, and found that such a strange story happened more than once, so self-examination and corruption, how to make the hundred officials satisfied, can make the people of the world satisfied, the minister found that this is because these yamen have a so-called self-authoritarian power, the minister bows his head, please Your Majesty to change this systemοΌβ
After Shang Yang finished speaking, he fell deep on the ground and didn't say a word.
But the officials behind Shang Yang were really going crazy, and they scolded Shang Yang in their hearts that he was simply a mad dog, who was caught and bitten whom.
Wei Changhong was not only angry, but his expression was full of murderous aura, why could he ignore the senior members of the six ministries and nine secretaries in the court? Why was the river yamen able to form a force in the court with the strength of a yamen? Why could the river channel yamen be a first-class good yamen, but the big fat was lacking? It relied on the right of self-authoritarianism given by the Great Qin when he founded the country.
But what is Shang Yang doing now, this is to shake the foundation of his river yamen!
Without waiting for others to speak, Wei Changhong stepped out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Shang Yang is a chaotic minister and thief, and the self-authoritarian power of the River Yamen was rewarded by Emperor Taizu when Great Qin opened the country, and it was rewarded for the contributions made by our ancestors to the founding of Great Qin.
Shang Yang raised his head, sneered at Wei Changhong, and said, "Who is a traitor, who is a traitor to the court, who is causing trouble to the court, the eyes of people in this world are not blind!"
Daring!
Several bold voices came out from the courtiers at the same time, Wang Mang's eyes moved, and he found that some of them had a vague understanding and some of them had a vague impression.
Lin Guodong had been secretly looking at Wang Mang's expression, and when he saw Wang Mang's eyes moving at this moment, he immediately stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with Lord Shang's words, but the minister agrees with Lord Shang's suggestion!"
This guy riding the wall?
Wang Mang smiled softly and shook his head, Lin Guodong has the ability, but he is too slippery, but since he is speculative, he doesn't want to take any risks, Wang Mang glanced at Li Hong.
Li Hong had been waiting for Wang Mang to look at him, and when he saw Wang Mang looking at him, he immediately said loudly: "What do you mean by Lord Lin?"
Lin Guodong glanced at Li Hong in surprise, rolled his eyes, and then looked at Wang Mang, so he smiled and said: "Li Shangshu, Xiaguan is Chang'an Order, Chang'an is the richest place in the country, gathering eighty percent of the country's big shots, Xiaguan's Chang'an Order is really not easy to do!"
Lin Guodong sighed, first reported to the ministers of the court that it was not easy for him to make the Chang'an Order, mainly to complain to the emperor, and then said: " Why is Chang'an not easy to manage, that is, there are too many people with backgrounds and all kinds of rich people, each has a relationship, after some things happen, Chang'an Ling has not thought about what to do, there are Chang'an Ling people who can't afford to offend people to come to say hello, what the minister said seems to have nothing to do with what Shang said, but it is essentially the same, there are too many thieves shouting to catch thieves, it is too normalized, and the disadvantages are deep, and it has reached a very dangerous level, so the minister agrees with the reform that Shang said, but the minister thinks that Shang Daren's attitude is really not very good. β
Lin Guodong went around and around, and he didn't say anything about the actual thing, but as he went around, it calmed down the minds of many officials in the DPRK and China, and they gradually began to think about what Shang Yang's words represented.
Everyone knows that Shang Yang is the emperor's person, Shang Yang's words seem to be unintentional, it seems to be triggered because of the incident in Xinyang County, but there is no emperor's meaning behind it.
No one is stupid to be able to stand here, and as soon as they thought that there might be the shadow of the emperor behind this, many officials who were about to speak stopped and planned to see where the wind was blowing.
But others can wait, Wei Changhong can't wait, Wei Changhong snorted coldly, and said: "Lin Guodong, don't beat your little Jiujiu in the court, the big guys know that Chang'an Ling is hard, but there are countless people in the court who want this hard work and can't get it." β
Wei Changhong's words turned the nonsense that Lin Guodong had just said for a long time into Lin Guodong's selfishness, and one sentence wasted Lin Guodong's hard work for half a day.
Wei Changhong glanced at Shang Yang's back coldly, and said: "Your Majesty, my lords, have we made a mistake about the core of the matter, what we are talking about now is the matter of Xinyang ordering Lu Yuan to put Wang Wengui under house arrest in the Weishui River, do we make this matter clear first, no matter what the reason, what is the situation of the lower official being placed under house arrest? Do you also hope that one day you will be placed under house arrest by your own subordinate for no reason? There is no explanation afterwards. β
Even if it is opposed, Shang Yang has to applaud Wei Changhong's words, Wei Changhong's words not only brought things back to the original point, turned the discussion just now into nonsense, but also mobilized the hatred of the hundreds of officials in the court, it can be said that no matter whether the river yamen is reformed or not, if there is no accident, first of all, Lu Yuan will definitely die.
Lu Bowen originally secretly laughed at Lu Yuan's escape, but at this moment, his face changed greatly, and he wanted to defend himself, but he ...... As Wei Changhong said, the lower official put the official under house arrest for no reason, this is a big crime, aside from his identity as the Lu family, he also has the idea of killing Lu Yuan to be respectful and humble.
At this moment, a note was suddenly stuffed into Lu Bowen's hand, and Lu Bowen looked left and right, but there was no ghost.
But the note in his hand clearly told him that there was someone just now, frowning, Lu Bowen unfolded the note, his eyes widened, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister has a good report!"
