Chapter 196: Heavy Minister's Attack
On the throne of the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Youzhen, the great emperor, had a blue face, and the ten fingers of his right hand were clenched. As if he didn't notice the emperor's expression, Liu Yuliang continued to be impassioned, and a series of evil deeds against the three guards were all revealed.
Just out of the first month, the various ministries of the imperial court have not yet fully operated, this court meeting was originally just a routine, but not to mention that Liu Yuliang, a cabinet scholar, had just been reinstated by the emperor, and he had forgotten the pain of the scars, and slapped the face of the current saint fiercely.
What kind of person is Li Xin, who was single-handedly promoted by the emperor from the commoners, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the emperor's private person. Now Liu Yuliang is making a fuss about Li Xin and putting on a business-like attitude, and the emperor is not expressing his position, nor is he not expressing his position.
Surprisingly, Yang Sichang, who had always opposed Li Xin before, did not wade into this troubled water this time, and his eyelids drooped as if he was deaf to the gradually tense air in the Wenhua Palace.
"Your Majesty, this son was born as a horse thief, unruly, all of the above, the crimes are obvious, if you don't punish them severely to set an example, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate......"
Liu Yuliang wanted to say a little more ruthlessly, but when he peeked at it, the emperor's face was dripping, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly calmed down his words, after all, no one can cover up all kinds of bad deeds on the surface, not even the emperor. Although he has selfish intentions, in the eyes of the ministers, he is quite loyal.
Could it be that Liu Yuliang changed his sex after entering the edict prison? Learn Wei Xuancheng to speak out and dare to admonish?
Only a very few people know about Liu Yuliang's great skill in killing Yue Tuo, Zhang Guan and Li Dai, and Yang Sichang is one of them, and he knows in his heart that the reason why Liu Yuliang is so hard to prepare to eradicate Li Xin is nothing more than to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
For Liu Yuliang's thoughts, Zhu Youzhen, the son of the great tomorrow, is also insightful. However, if the facts were to be taken as the basis, he categorically could not forgive Li Xin's behavior, which was almost treacherous. He can tolerate this vulgar martial artist's greed for ink and domineering, but he can't tolerate his failure and ulterior motives.
In fact, as early as the first month, all kinds of rumors about Li Xin's misdeeds came from the west one after another, but there was no real evidence, and they were all rumors, so Zhu Youzhen naturally didn't believe it. However, after Li Xin took office, he didn't say a word about the piece of paper that was handed over to Jingshi, which still made him a little unhappy.
Until today, Liu Yuliang suddenly shook out these impeachment chapters one by one on the Wenhua Palace, and Zhu Youzhen's heart sank little by little.
Xiong Kaiyuan, the prefect of Datong, led the commander of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division...... Gao Shanwei commanded Yao Zhenglong, and Yang Hewei commanded Qiu Gong's son, Yang Hewei, and Qiu Liangcun seconded the proposal.
These people are all over the Datong Civil and Military Mansion, even if there is fifty percent of the water, the remaining fifty percent is a big crime of killing the head. Not to mention the truth or falsity of these charges, just because Li Xin offended the civil and military forces at all levels of Datong Mansion just after he took office, you can also see how arrogant he is. Coupled with guarding the borderlands, having no size merit, and even colluding with the Mongolian Tatars, it is really a reckless courtier with favors.
However, Zhu Youzhen will not take his stance lightly, after all, these words are from Liu Yuliang's mouth, and he is also clear about the festival between Liu Yuliang and Li Xin, and it is difficult to say that there is no suspicion of personal revenge. However, it seems a bit unreasonable to kill Li Xin by relying on his merits, after all, the victim is Li Xin, and Liu Yuliang is the beneficiary.
With all kinds of displeasure and doubts, Zhu Youzhen was waiting for the different voices among the ministers. He knows these ministers under Danqi too well, he opposes for the sake of opposition, approves for the sake of approval, and the party is the same as the other, which has always been a stubborn disease that has plagued him, and he is always with him.
It seems that the ministers work together to serve the public, which is only something that is only recorded in historical records, and Zhu Youzhen is even doubting whether those beautiful talks that have been passed down through the ages are just beautified by later generations.
Once again, surprisingly, the opposition did not come out, and the echoes sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
First, the head of the household department asked Li Shi. "The minister also thinks that Li Xin, the chief soldier of the three guards, does not have the grace of the saint, this son does not want to be loyal to the country and repay the grace of His Majesty's knowledge, but is pampered and arrogant, and makes friends with his colleagues, so he disregards the overall situation, and is greedy and domineering, and he is not suitable for the high position of the general soldier of the three ranks."
As soon as Li Shiwen jumped out, someone immediately mocked him.
"Who doesn't know that Li Xin offended Lord Li to death, and now Lord Li can't wait to fall into the well, the amount of gas is really not small!"
"The eyes will be repaid, and the villain village woman is just like this......"
"You, you, you ......"
Li Shiwen's angry beard trembled, and he pointed and pointed, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Of course, those who said cool things were not excusing Li Xin, but purely Li Shi asked his opponent on weekdays to make fun of him.
"Lord Li's words were seconded by the minister."
The ministers turned their eyes to Xue Guoguan standing behind Yang Sichang in surprise, this person has always been Yang Sichang's mouthpiece, echo worm, although Yang Sichang's status was delicate when he wavered, but he has always been recognized as a cadre of Yang Sichang's line.
Does Xue Guoguan's speech represent Yang Sichang's attitude? All the ministers were privately speculating about the attitude of several ministers, so that when they had to do so, they would choose the team with the most advantages and the most favorable to themselves.
But looking at the change in Yang Sichang's expression, it seemed that he was also quite surprised, could it be that this was just Xue Guoguan's own words?
This change did not escape Liu Yuliang's eyes, it seems that Yang Sichang really does not plan to participate, but he will not stop Xue Guoguan's advice. This Xue Guoguan is simply a send-off, he put the facts and evidence in a clear position, after all, a person's speech is lonely, although Li Shiwen seconded the proposal, but he and Li Xin have a deep grudge, the credibility of his words has been greatly reduced, but the Xue Guoguan in Yang Sichang's camp is different, as soon as he speaks, the credibility of Li Xin's accusations has been raised to a new level.
In fact, Liu Yuliang doesn't care whether Li Xin is guilty or not, as long as he succeeds in arousing the emperor's suspicion, suspicion and dissatisfaction with him, his task will be completed, as long as the emperor's favor is not there, a northwest frontier general who has no soldiers, no power, no size, and has a reputation for serving and petting, a fool can guess what is waiting for him.
Clearly, his first steps were extremely successful. Now that even Xue Guoguan has expressed his position, who else in the imperial court can dare to move against the shape? Li Xin's only backstage in the cabinet, Sun Chengzong, was still supervising Shanhaiguan at this time, and this time, he waited for the wall to fall and everyone pushed it.
The courtiers once again disappointed Zhu Youzhen, the great son of the emperor, and no one was willing to stand up for him to say a few words for Li Xin, after all, Li Xin was his one-handed pull, and if he set the tone now, it would be too ugly for him. Besides, there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, and the image of that straightforward man jumps in front of him, even if this person is domineering, he should still be loyal.
As a result, Zhu Youzhen dragged on and remained silent, allowing Liu Yuliang's party members to expose and accuse Li Xin's evil deeds in the court. It is enough for the important ministers to be responsible for lighting the fire, and as for the raging fire, the vast number of officials still need these dry firewood to make it.
In the blink of an eye, the time passed noon, and the emperor did not take the initiative to announce his withdrawal from the court, but was silent, and the cabinet ministers were also staring at each other, only those six or seven grade officials were saliva flying, and their mouths were dry and they were not willing to rest.
There is no other purpose, but to condemn Li Xin's sin.
Zhu Youzhen's face was already difficult to see the incomprehensible Cheng DΓΉ, and Yang Sichang finally couldn't help coughing twice when he was in the Cabinet University, and he was no longer silent.
"All of you have extinguished the fire, after all, the law of the court is still there, and the sinners will not escape the punishment, it is already past noon, it is better to stop it today, and it is not too late to discuss the rest tomorrow."
This sentence is not to excuse Li Xin, but to really relieve Zhu Youzhen. The ministers were already hungry, so they all echoed it, and the Li Xin family headed by Liu Yuliang had no choice but to accept it when it was good, and leave it for tomorrow's court discussion.
That night, a mysterious person came to the mansion of Zhang Sizhi, a cabinet scholar and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites. Originally, the rule of Zhangfu was that they would not accept customers at night, but tonight they made an exception. After the servants passed it on several times, the sleeves and bags began to heavily, and finally they happily told the mysterious person that Zhang Ge would personally receive them.
It was a housekeeper from Zhang's Mansion who came out to greet him, which shows that Zhang Ge Lao attaches great importance to guests. Immediately, the mysterious man beckoned, and saw a team of dozens of people carrying chests hidden in the darkness, and followed the butler to the side door on the other side of the courtyard wall.
The mysterious man hurried into the courtyard of Zhang's mansion with the family.
β¦β¦
Outside the Acropolis, the smoke of the daytime had already cleared, and Li Xin and the spear battalion re-advanced to the checkpoint on the south bank of the Yan River, where a small part of the grain in the warehouse had been robbed, and the losses were not large due to vulnerability to haste. But this act of not robbing and destroying is a big worry for everyone.
This group of Mongol Tatars was obviously very cunning, it may be that the death of the Tuntu had made them vigilant, and they would no longer resist lightly, and when Heisenberg's four-pounder and six-pounder guns were bombarded in turn, they hurriedly withdrew after shooting arrows for a while, and the withdrawal was quite simple, without any love, and went directly back to the north of the Yan River.
In the past, the Mongol Tatars could not take everything they could take away from the invaders were all burned by fire, but this time it was different from the past, obviously they were not too late for time, they should have done it on purpose, it seemed that they were bound to get these grains, and they had to rob them again.
The horses finally returned to the checkpoint camp on the south bank of the Yan River.
"Report! As expected, the Mongol Tatars did not retreat, but still lingered on the side of the mountain col. β
"But have you found out which Tartar it is?"
"The villain scratched his tongue, it's the ...... of the Tumut Ministry"
