617: First come, first served

By the time they came to this, these remaining ministers who had signed a joint letter had already crumbled, and most of them had reached the end of the crossbow, but they knelt at the gate of the palace for a day and a night and did not fall, and they did not fall down on the road from the palace to the Jinluan Palace, and there was no reason to fall at this moment.

"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty." After entering the hall, the ministers saluted first, and many ministers did not want to get up this kneeling, kneeling was much less laborious than standing.

"Flat." It's one thing they don't want to get up, but the emperor wants them to get up.

And the emperor's voice, they did not get up.

"Your Majesty asked the ministers of Gong Chang to come and deal with the matter of resigning Gu Qin as prime minister, and asked Your Majesty to deal with this matter first, and the ministers will kneel and listen to Your Majesty's disposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

One person spoke, and everyone seconded it, this excuse is just enough to not stand up, but also to force the emperor.

The emperor didn't shake his face, but secretly felt that he still let these people kneel less, and he still had the strength to fight him.

"Everything pays attention to the first come, first come, since the adults are slow, then wait for a while, and let You Aiqing, who was interrupted by you first, finish speaking, as for you want to kneel, then continue to kneel."

The last sentence of the emperor really made the kneeling ministers vomit blood, but if they didn't get up themselves, who could blame them.

Although I want to kneel comfortably, I can't be scolded like this.

The emperor didn't care what they did, and after finishing speaking, he looked at You Xingxian, "You Aiqing, you continue." ”

And You Xingxian did it on purpose, deliberately when he saw the wave of courtiers who signed the joint letter enter the Jinluan Palace, he opened his mouth to play, and he only said that there was a book to play, and he was just interrupted, and the time can be said to be quite wonderful.

"The minister wants to impeach Tang Lin, a scholar of the Inner Hongwen Academy, and Du Ruofeng, a scholar of the Inner Hongwen Academy, and impeach the two of them for acting in an embarrassed manner, forming a party for personal gain, and bribing officials."

Du Ruofeng felt that he had acted more appropriately in recent days, and he had no handle at all, but he was impeached at the moment, and the whole person was a little confused, or this You Xingxian, who had no sense of existence in the Hongwen Academy.

"No, Your Majesty's ministers have been wronged, You Xingxian, you don't want to spew blood." Tang Lin didn't have Du Ruofeng's calmness, and almost after You Xingxian's impeachment on the front foot, he jumped out on the back foot to refute it.

You Xingxian's impeachment made the big group of courtiers kneeling on the ground chuckle, but then they didn't take it seriously, who is You Xingxian, they don't know each other, what kind of waves can an inconspicuous little character make?

"The minister has Tang Lin's whereabouts and economic accounts in recent days." You Xingxian doesn't talk nonsense, and directly goes to the evidence.

"You investigate me?"

On weekdays in the cabinet, Tang Lin has always been arrogant in front of You Xingxian, pointing fingers at You Xingxian, but You Xingxian has always been silent, over time, Tang Lin has become accustomed to pointing fingers at You Xingxian, and he will directly scold him if he is not satisfied, even if he is now in the Jinluan Palace.

This is called habitual subtlety, Tang Lin realized that it was too late when the occasion was wrong, and he had already finished yelling.

He didn't have time to explain more, and bowed directly to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the minister is not, You Xingxian is bloody, he privately investigates the minister's whereabouts, this is a violation of the minister's privacy, and he has no right to investigate the minister's request to ask His Majesty to be the minister's master." ”

Tang Lin is not stupid, and he still knows how to beat a rake.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the officials should supervise each other, this is the minister's supervision of Tang Lin, not the investigation, as for the minister to say this, it is entirely because the minister found that Tang Lin's behavior was against the official standard, and the minister recorded it one by one, and at this moment I came to ask Your Majesty to decide, if Tang Bachelor thinks that the minister is not good, you can also supervise the minister, and the minister has no opinion."

It's just quibbles, not just him.

After speaking, You Xingxian took out two books from his arms and held them high above his head, "Your Majesty, this is the minister's record of the whereabouts and economic contacts of the Tang Bachelor today, and the other one is Bachelor Du's, but the minister of Bachelor Du is completely dictated by Bachelor Tang, and the ministers who had dinner together two days ago heard it, and the minister just helped Bachelor Tang ghostwrite, and the specific report needs to be reported by Bachelor Tang in person." ”

Du Ruofeng, who had not spoken, looked at Tang Lin with a swoop, his eyes were cold, and Tang Lin was so frightened that he reflexively said, "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything." ”

Tang Lin's sentence is a proper desire to cover up and not admit himself, no matter whether Du Ruofeng has done anything unsightly at this moment, just by virtue of his sentence, he has done it.

The emperor above hooked his lips slightly, waved his hand at Chang De, and Chang De quickly went down the steps to get the fold in You Xingxian's hand.

Du Zhen has been rampant for so many years, but he has not been able to teach a son who is as capable as him, which is really a pity, a pity.

After such a while, Chang De had already handed the fold he had taken from You Xingxian's hand to Emperor Ji Chengye.

Ji Chengye was not in a hurry, he took the fold and opened it to read it slowly word by word.

He already knew what was in the excerpt, but now that he looked, one was to put on a show, and the other was to give some time to think about the people below who were kneeling to impeach Gu Qin.

"Changde, show the courtiers below what is written in this fold." As usual, Ji Chengye finished reading it, and asked Changde to hand it to the hundred officials to see, and they saw it themselves, which was better than him saying there that it would save trouble and effort and be detailed.

Seeing that Changde scattered the folds, Ji Chengye looked at the kneeling group of courtiers, "Everyone has official business, and now it's just time to hand over the folds to read, why don't you tell me what you want to do?" ”

At this point, Du Ruofeng was impeached, and they haven't seen the excerpt yet, and now they are impeached......

This is the concern of the former prime minister's party, but those who are truly loyal to the emperor do not have so many concerns.

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Gu Qin, the minister felt that Gu Qin was completely unsuitable for the position of prime minister, he neglected his duties and left his post without authorization, because of selfishness, and has been mediocre and unsuccessful, the minister felt that he was not suitable for the position of prime minister, and the minister admonished, imploring His Majesty to remove his duties."

"In the past few days, because Gu Qin has caused chaos in the court, but Gu Qin has made any response, the minister feels that this is not the responsibility of the prime minister, and the minister advises and implores His Majesty to remove Gu Qin from the post of prime minister."

"Gu Qin's existence has affected His Majesty's judgment on political affairs, making His Majesty blindly protect him, and Gu Qin has never had any words about this, allowing His Majesty to oppose him and his ministers, this is not the prime minister's doing, the ministers admonished, and implore Your Majesty to remove Gu Qin from the post of prime minister."

"Minister......

One by one, they impeached Gu Qin for their own reasons.

The former prime minister's party hasn't seen the twists and turns, and they want to delay the time to wait until they see the twists and turns, but some people have already advised them that they can't miss the opportunity, and they can't go along with the trend, after all, they are all impeaching Gu Qin, and there is no reason not to be silent at this time, as for pushing Du Ruofeng to the top, those are two different things, not contradictory.
