"The emperor wants me to reprimand Yang Lian?"

As soon as he returned to the cabinet signing room, someone came to the palace, and as soon as the holy decree was announced, Gu Bingqian was suddenly a little worried, because until now, he had not figured out what the twenty-four sins on Yang Lian had written. Fortunately, the supervisor who came to announce the decree first got Li Yongzhen's order and brought the paper scroll with the content of Yang Lian's recital presented by Yuan Dahai.

After Gu Bingqian took it, he read it carefully from beginning to end, and found that there were words in the article, such as "protégé prime minister", "a man who seeks to be rich and noble", "relying on the door wall", etc., without thinking deeply, he knew that this was Yang Lian ridiculing himself, and he was immediately annoyed and angry. After thinking about it again and again, he decided to make a big fuss about Shuzhong's accusation that Wei Zhongxian had killed the concubine, and thought that the courtiers should not talk about it casually. As a crime, the palace affairs reprimanded Yang Lian. So he wrote:

"Since I became the heir, all political affairs have been decided by me personally, so where will the power fall? As for the affairs of the Middle Palace, the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Yu, the palace is strictly prohibited, and how can the outer court know about it? What's more, there is no truth? Shu Zhong's talk about poisoning the Middle Palace and the noble concubine and prince is pure fabrication, and its purpose is to screen out the people around me, so that I am isolated, where is the heart of loyalty? Then accused Yang Lian of maliciously causing trouble in the name of loyalty, and finally emphasized that he planned to investigate Yang Lian's charges one by one, considering that there are many events at present, the court should not disturb it, "Leave it alone!" ”。 At the end of the holy decree, Gu Bingqian did not forget to warn those Donglin Party members who supported Yang Lian in the name of the emperor, "All officials, big and small, must not be echoed casually, and if there is any non-compliance, the national law is there, and it will not be tolerated." ”

After drafting, Gu Bingqian looked at his masterpiece again with satisfaction, and after carefully drying it, he handed the holy decree to the eunuch, and then the eunuch sent it to the celebrant to use the seal, so that it could be officially issued.

After the matter was completed, Gu Bingqian's mood was greatly relaxed, he knew that once this holy decree was issued, Yang Lian's matter would be revealed, and it would be impossible for anyone to make any more use of this decree in the future.

Looking back at the empty seats of the first and second assistants, Gu Bingqian snorted coldly, seeing that after Wei Guanghui came back from the noon gate, he had been sitting there with his head hanging down and not saying a word, as if his soul had fallen, and he couldn't help but step forward and persuade: "The matter has come to this, why should you have trouble with yourself?" You don't want to think about it, when did the Donglin Party look at you, you can have today, it is not for Gonggong Wei to take care of it, this is a person who should think about retribution, such a simple truth, don't you understand? ”

Hearing this, Wei Guanghui slowly raised his head to look at Gu Bingqian, and smiled bitterly: "Zhao Nanxing said that my father "saw the spring and had no children", I am afraid that if it continues like this, his words may be true. ”

"Nonsense!"

For Wei Guanghui, a junior, Gu Bingqian still wanted to pull him along, seeing that he was becoming more and more untrustworthy in front of Wei Zhongxian, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would soon be swept out of the house by Wei, so he couldn't help but persuade this little junior. Hearing him say this about himself, he said at the moment:

"Since Gu Xiancheng and others formed Donglin during the Wanli period, which of the actions they have done is for national affairs? The so-called party struggle is that they initiated it, and the evolution of current events is different from the end of the Tang Dynasty? You should have an understanding that since ancient times, it is advisable to do it, but it is difficult for ministers to do it, and they are not in their positions and do not seek their own politics. How can you and I be willing to fall? At present, the state affairs are difficult, the eastern side of Liaodong is not going well, and there are repeated disasters in the country. I know that if you want to do practical things, if you want to do practical things, you can't tolerate Donglin's clamor in the court, if they don't do things, don't you tell others to do things? ... Recently, you have been on Father-in-law Wei's side, and you have really not done well, besides, is he Yang Dahong really worthy of you doing this for him? ”

Gu Bingqian was reasonable, Wei Guanghui knew it, but he really couldn't bear to see Donglin fall, and sighed: "I know that Yang Lian will not receive my affection, and I also know that Donglin is useless in the court, but this heart is finally uneasy, and I can't bear to see Yang Lian die." Perhaps, this is just my own passion. ”

"I know what you think!" Seeing Wei Guanghui like this, Gu Bingqian shook his head and couldn't help but say: "Alas, you are so self-conscious, the emperor asked me to draft a decree to reprimand Yang Lian, and as soon as this decree was made, Yang Lian couldn't turn over." After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "You also know about Wang Ji, do you know where he is now?" ”

"Isn't he in the prison of the Criminal Department?" Wei Guanghui was stunned, and he didn't understand how Gu Bingqian said that Wang Ji was coming.

"The prison of the criminal department?" Gu Bingqian snorted slightly: "He has been executed by Dongchang!" ”

"What?!" Wei Guanghui was taken aback, wasn't Wang Ji imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, why was he executed? The Cabinet has not received any relevant orders, huh?

Gu Bingqian didn't make as much fuss as him, and said calmly: "You don't have to make a fuss, don't forget, who is in charge of Dongchang." In short, if Yang Lian continues like this, he will end up like Wang Ji, and the gods will not be able to save him. "Some words can be said to the end, and it is taboo to go deeper.

Gu Bingqian believes that Wei Guanghui is an understanding person, and he is confused at the moment, but as long as he is enlightened, he will always wake up and will not drill into the tip of the bull's horn again. I didn't want Wei Guanghui to hear this, but he suddenly stood up nervously and walked out quickly.

Gu Bingqian was taken aback: "Where are you going?" ”

Wei Guanghui didn't reply: "I'll go find Yang Lian!" ”

Gu Bingqian stomped his feet: "It's useless, he Yang Lian is arrogant, how can he believe you, I'm afraid that he will ridicule you, you don't have to forget, in the eyes of their Donglin, we are eunuch lackeys!" ”

"Whether he listens to me or not, he must do his best again, even if he scolds me bloody, I still have to persuade him again. If God really wants him to die, there is no way to do it. But do your best, succeed or fail, and you will never regret it afterwards. ”

As he spoke, Wei Guanghui's figure disappeared in front of Gu Bingqian's eyes, Gu Bingqian smiled bitterly, and secretly sighed that Wei Guanghui really had good intentions for Donglin, but it was a pity that the falling flowers were intentional and the flowing water was ruthless.

Wei Guanghui is gone, and Gu Bingqian is left in the cabinet, and today Yang Lian is sparse, and the court is causing a sensation, thinking that in addition to this, the big and small officials will not say anything else. Ye Xianggao and Han Yi, the two old foxes, took leave at home, and if they didn't come to mix the water, they would be fine. Let me be the sole minister of the cabinet for a day, Gu Bingqian thought.
