Chapter 207: The Wrath of the Son of Heaven

On May 26 of the first year of Hongxi, it was the day of the great court in the capital, and hundreds of civil and military officials entered the palace to participate in the court meeting. The fastest update, the most stable, dìng, chasing novels, where to go quickly, to read quickly, to read the web

Because Emperor Hongxi has decided to move the capital to Nanjing, the things played by the ministers in the court are all related to the relocation of the capital, and the atmosphere is a little boring.

Li Yuntian stood in the queue of the imperial history with a stern expression, but his eyes were a little confused, and he had already wandered out of the world, secretly thinking about his own thoughts there.

"Your Majesty, Chen Hanlin Bachelor Li Qingzheng has a book to play." Just as Li Yuntian was bored waiting to retreat, a voice came from in front of him.

"Li Qingzheng?" Li Yuntian couldn't help blinking his eyes when he heard this, and then came back to his senses.

Li Qing is the Jinshi of the second year of Yongle, and was later elected as a Shuji Shi, entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, speaking of which is still Li Yuntian's senior brother, successively served as the director of the Criminal Department, the Hanlin attendant, and is now a bachelor of Hanlin, and once taught Li Yuntian in the Wenyuan Pavilion.

The reason why Li Yuntian has a deep impression of this family is because this person has a rigid temperament and dares to make a direct admonition, and once wrote to the Yongle Emperor in the 19th year of Yongle, proposing 15 articles such as "stopping construction, abolishing the tributes of Siyi, eliminating redundant officials, giving mercy to famine, prudent elections, strict assessments, cleaning up prisoners, deposing corrupt officials, dismissing monks, and giving preferential treatment to sergeants".

At that time, the Yongle Emperor was planning to move the capital from Nanjing to Beijing, and Li Qingzheng's "stop construction" in the first article undoubtedly violated the Yongle Emperor's Tianyan, as if the Yongle Emperor moved to the people for pleasure and led the people to live a poor life, ignoring the Yongle Emperor's long-term national policy of "the Son of Heaven guarding the country", which made the Yongle Emperor furious and put him in prison.

It was not until a year later that Li Qingzheng was released from prison under the sponsorship of Yang Rong, the first assistant of the cabinet at the time.

In Li Yuntian's view, the fifteen articles proposed by Li Qingzheng to Emperor Yongle were all empty words and useless except for "stop construction", because the truth in them would Emperor Yongle not know that what Emperor Yongle needed was a solution to those problems, not throwing problems at him.

Now Li Qingzheng is speaking again at the critical moment when Emperor Hongxi moved the capital, is it to prevent Emperor Hongxi from moving the capital on the grounds of labor and money?

Thinking of this, Li Yuntian couldn't help but look up, only to see a middle-aged man of medium stature walking out of the queue and walking quickly to the front of the hall.

Seeing Li Qingzheng coming out, the Wenchen on the left cast curious glances, not knowing what he said today.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the inner palace was far away from Jianning to choose a maid, which made the people suspicious, and everyone was confused. The palace of the Son of Heaven, there was a permanent system in ancient times, then the great filial piety has not yet ended, I am afraid that it will become the original of weathering, and there is a hope of hindering the restoration. I also heard that the palace was building a lot, and the so-called people were also doing this; His Majesty has not been in court for a few days, and the so-called diligent politicians are also here. ”

Under the gaze of the ministers, Li Qingzheng bowed to Emperor Hongxi, and said sternly, "Your Majesty, the so-called scholar of Wuzheng, but the above three points are also. The fastest and most stable update dìng"

As soon as the words fell, the hall was silent, and everyone looked at Li Qingzheng in surprise, looking quite shocked.

Li Yuntian secretly shook his head helplessly, Li Qingzheng actually publicly criticized Emperor Hong Xi, it was simply looking for death, if it wasn't for his IQ, it was an ulterior motive, and he was a clear name who risked his life to admonish.

To be honest, Li Qingjin's words are really biased, and his accusation against Emperor Hong Xi is indeed far-fetched.

After Emperor Hongxi sent the coffin of Emperor Yongle into the imperial mausoleum, he replaced the maids around him, which was an extremely common thing, did he want the new emperor to use the old people of the previous dynasty?

But in Li Qingzheng's eyes, this has become "the so-called lustful person", in his opinion, Emperor Hongxi should give Emperor Yongle three years of filial piety.

In addition, after Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne, it was reasonable to repair the palace, which became what Li Qingzheng said, "the so-called people who save the power of the people".

Not long ago, Emperor Hong Xi did not have a small court for a few days because he felt unwell, which became "the so-called diligent politician." ”

If Li Qingzheng's words are translated, it is to accuse Emperor Hong Xi of being a poor and extravagant ** person, content with pleasure and not doing business.

Emperor Hong Xi never expected that Li Qingzheng would suddenly attack him, and he had no psychological preparation at all, so he was stunned for a while, his face was blue and white for a while, and his hands on his lap couldn't help but clench their fists.

After noticing the change in the expression on Emperor Hong Xi's face, Li Yuntian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although Emperor Hong Xi had a gentle personality, Li Qingzheng was on the top of the main hall and accused him in public of being extravagant, making him promiscuous, and teaching the four dimensions, just like Emperor Yang of Sui in the previous dynasty, where did Hong Xi's face be?

Moreover, the clay figure still has three points of fire, not to mention Emperor Hongxi, who is the son of heaven, and his kindness to others does not mean that his dignity can be offended.

Not only Li Yuntian, but also Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji and others also realized that something was wrong, Li Qingzheng embarrassed Emperor Hong Xi in public, so how did Emperor Hong Xi get off the stage?

"Come on, drag this nonsense-filled scoundrel out of the temple and beat him to death!" Under the concerned gaze of the ministers, Emperor Hong Xi stretched out his hand with a pale face and pointed at Li Zhengqing, who was standing there proudly, and roared angrily.

Since Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne, or since he became the crown prince, he has never been so angry as he is today.

After finishing speaking, Emperor Hong Xi, who was excited, couldn't help coughing, he had been in poor health recently, otherwise he wouldn't have been without Xiao Chao for a few days, and now his anger is naturally surging.

Standing on both sides of the main hall, several brocade-clothed guard generals who were wearing phoenix-winged armor, wearing long armor, holding a golden gourd hammer, and brightly dressed in bright clothes, heard this, and immediately rushed towards Li Qingzheng with expressionless faces.

The so-called Han generals refer to the palace guards of the Ming Dynasty.

There are 1,500 Han generals under Jinyiwei, tall, magnificent, magnificent, where the emperor and the emperor go out on patrol, the attendants are on duty, and the guards are on duty, so Jinyiwei is called the first guard of the pro-army.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the admonisher is not guilty, please think twice." Seeing that those Han generals were about to come to Li Qingzheng, who was standing there with his head held high, Yang Rong hurriedly went out to play to Emperor Hongxi, and then shouted at Li Qingzheng, "Master Li, you are biased in your words, and you still don't ask Your Majesty for guilt." ”

Yang Rong has always admired the upright and upright Li Qingzheng, otherwise he would not have said good things to him in front of Emperor Yongle back then, so that Li Qingzheng could escape from prison.

However, this time, Yang Rong felt that Li Qingzheng's words were too extreme, so that he angered the gentle Emperor Hong Xi, once an emperor like Emperor Hong Xi was angry, it would usually be the power of thunder, and Li Qingzheng would suffer if he didn't do it well.

"Your Majesty, the minister......" Xia Yuanji immediately left the class when he heard this, and also wanted to plead with Emperor Hongxi.

"I have made up my mind, and it is really a great rebellion for this villain to insult me." As soon as Xia Yuanji spoke, Emperor Hong Xi interrupted him angrily, glared at Li Qingzheng, who was standing proudly, angrily, and gritted his teeth and said, "Someone, hammer this villain to death in front of the palace, in order to set an example, his family sits together, flows with the frontier, and if he is pardoned, he will not be pardoned, and those who intercede for it will be guilty of the same crime!" ”

As he spoke, Emperor Hong Xi, who was excited, coughed again, and the attendant on the side hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, and Emperor Hong Xi covered it to his mouth.

The ministers couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and they finally saw the fierce side of Emperor Hongxi, especially "if you are pardoned", it really shows their hatred for Li Qingzheng, which means that Li Qingzheng's family will stay on the frontier forever, even if they encounter an amnesty from the imperial court, it is not within the scope of pardon.

"Minister Li Qingzheng bows to the emperor!" Facing the furious Emperor Hong Xi, Li Qingzheng was not timid at all, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Hong Xi.

As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all emperors' favors, not only the emperor's rewards should be grateful, but also after being punished.

"Your Majesty, your loyalty is contrary to your ears, if the minister's death can make His Majesty wake up, the minister will die without regrets!" Just when people thought that President Li Qingzheng couldn't kneel, he didn't think that he then raised his head, looked at Emperor Hong Xi with great righteousness, and said loudly.

"Come on, drag it down, drag it down, hammer it to death, hammer it to death!" Emperor Hong Xi saw that Li Qingzheng was unrepentant, and even regarded himself as a loyal and upright minister, wouldn't that mean that he was a faint monarch, his face turned purple in an instant, and he stood up from the dragon chair with a pout, and pointed at Li Qingzheng while coughing and roared.

Facing the scene in front of him, the civil and military officials in the hall looked at each other, silent, everyone knew that Emperor Hong Xi was angry now, if he opened his mouth to plead with Li Qingzheng, it would undoubtedly be a suicide.

So, under the gaze of the ministers, the two Han generals took Li Qingzheng's arm and dragged him away backwards.

According to the rules of the court, when the Son of Heaven is in the court, all civil and military officials face the Son of Heaven, and when they go back, they can only retreat.

Li Qingzheng has no fear, and the name of the civil official is renamed, and he believes that his actions today are loyal and righteous advice, and even if he dies, he will definitely leave his name in history and become a model for the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Li Yuntian, the Imperial Governor of the Huguang Provincial Supervision of the Imperial Palace, impeached Li Qingzheng, a scholar of Hanlin, for being disloyal and unjust, and the corpse was a vegetarian meal, and he was really a person who sold his reputation and reputation." Seeing that Li Qingzheng was about to be dragged out of the hall by the Han general, a loud voice suddenly came from the silent hall.

"I implore Your Majesty to wait for the impeachment of the ministers before bringing Master Li to justice, and I have fulfilled the duties of the imperial history of the ministers!" Then, under the stunned gaze of the ministers in the store, Li Yuntian walked out of the queue, strode to the front of the hall, and said to Emperor Hong Xi.

Emperor Hong Xi, who was standing in front of the dragon chair and coughing loudly, glanced at Li Yuntian, saw Li Yuntian's expression was stern, and thought of the impeachment of Li Qingzheng just now for "disloyalty, injustice, corpse and reputation", and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and his anger immediately subsided a little.

"I'm going to play what you're doing." After a deep groan, Emperor Hong Xi sat down, removed the handkerchief from the corner of his mouth, and said to Li Yuntian in a deep voice, he wanted to see how Li Yuntian dealt with an official like Li Qingzheng who forced the palace in the name of loyalty.

Li Yuntian kept looking at Emperor Hong Xi, and he keenly noticed a detail, Emperor Hong Xi did not hand over the handkerchief in his hand to the attendant on the side, but held it in his hand.

With Emperor Hongxi's words, Li Qingzheng, who was pushed down in front of the palace by the Han generals, was also spared for the time being, otherwise the surrounding Han generals would have hammered him to death with a golden gourd hammer in front of thousands of officials above the fifth grade of the imperial court in the square of the Taihe Palace, so as to set an example.

However, Li Qingzheng did not feel the slightest sense of happiness and relief, but sat on the ground, frowned, and looked at Li Yuntian in the hall with an expressionless face.

If Li Yuntian has half a lie, he will enter the hall to refute it even if he is desperate to protect his reputation.

For Li Yuntian's sudden impeachment, the civil officials, nobles and royal families in the Taihe Palace were surprised, since Li Yuntian served as the imperial history, this is the first time he has played impeachment, and it is also the impeachment of Li Qingzheng, a bachelor of Hanlin.

The Bachelor of Hallym is the highest position of the Hallym Academy, the leader of the scholar class, the official rank of the fifth grade, and then the various university scholars.

For the scholars, it is a great honor to die of loyalty, and it is also a kind of clear name that has been passed down for centuries, and Li Yuntian actually questioned this kind of loyalty, which is really unwise in the eyes of people, and the slightest carelessness will trigger a siege by the Chinese courtiers of the DPRK, and it is also an enemy in the Hanlin Academy.
