Chapter 106: The resignation of the ministers
Taihe Temple.
It was another morning morning, and Ling Husu yawned and was listless.
"Your Majesty, there is a big flood in the east of the river, flooding 100 acres of fertile land......"
Linghu Su interrupted him and said: "It is time to allocate money and money, it is time to provide disaster relief, the next time there is such a thing to ask Wen Xiang and Fei Xiang, just make up your mind and go to the road to fold." ”
"Obey."
Next, there are some big sesame problems, so that Husu is all pushed to the prime minister.
Finally, Ning Zijing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, played a big question: "Your Majesty, in all states and counties, there are students who are in rebellion and write all kinds of anti-imperialist poems, and their behavior is unsightly, please order their arrest." ”
Ling Husu raised his eyebrows and didn't speak for the time being, to see what they said.
"Your Majesty, these students have gathered to make trouble, fearing that they will cause riots, and they must be arrested."
"Your Majesty, no, if they are arrested, they will definitely be confirmed for their anti-imperialist behavior, and I am afraid that it will cause even greater riots."
Soon they were divided into two factions, one of which firmly upheld the authority of the emperor and wanted to arrest and severely punish the students. The other faction is concerned about the security of the country and is afraid of shaking the foundation of the country.
Ling Husu listened for a while and asked Wen Zhong and Fei Qing.
Wen Zhong replied: "Your Majesty has made a decision. ”
Fei Qing also said: "Please call the shots of Your Majesty." ”
Hehe, sure enough, it's an old fox.
Ling Husu said: "I trouble Ning Aiqing to collect all the so-called anti-imperialist poems, and who wrote them must also be indicated, I am going to publish a book, which is called the anti-imperialist book, which is quite interesting to think about." ”
Saying this, the ministers understood that Ling Husu didn't take it seriously at all.
In fact, Ling Husu had already sent secret guards to deal with it, and there must be people among the students who deliberately provoked trouble, as long as these people were caught, the remaining students would soon retreat if they lacked the people who fanned the flames. After all, whether the emperor is male or female, it will not affect their fame.
"The minister has his own music." This is Li Fang, the waiter of the Criminal Department.
Linghu Su said in his heart, today's dinner is finally here.
"Say it!"
"Today's champion, Tanhua, Bangyan, with a Jinshi, please write to Your Majesty, and want to resign and return to your hometown."
As soon as these words came out, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, and even Wen Zhong and Fei Qing were in a hurry, knowing that there was a big problem.
Linghu Su asked: "Why did you resign?" ”
"The minister doesn't know, but the guess is that he must be dissatisfied, please ask Your Majesty, approve or not."
Ling Husu did not answer immediately, and asked the opinions of the ministers. He has learned this trick now, no matter what the question is, ask them first, as the so-called three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, so many people will definitely be able to come up with a lot of ideas.
As a result, they were divided into two factions, one agreeing and the other disagreeing.
"It is not easy to study hard for ten years, they are still young, and they may be bewitched by others to do this unusual thing, and they should not be criticized."
"This move is clearly a provocation to Your Majesty, it cannot be connived at, if they want to leave, they will leave, there is no shortage of officials in the imperial court, and there are a lot of alternates."
"Otherwise, if they are really allowed to resign, after this matter spreads all over the world, they will think that Your Majesty has lost his virtue, the monarch and the ministers are not in harmony, and the world will be in turmoil."
"If they are forcibly stayed, it will damage the majesty of Your Majesty, and it will make people all over the world doubt Your Majesty's sanctity and the fairness of the court."
It all made sense, and the arguments were endless, so Ling Husu didn't ask Wen Zhong and Fei Qing this time, but asked Li Shilang instead.
"Li Shilang, you played this matter, what do you think?"
Li Fang has no opinion, he is just a pawn who obeys orders, but now he can't help but say it, so he thought about it and replied: "The minister thinks that it should not be approved, otherwise, almost all the Jinshi of a subject will be abandoned, which will make the world laugh at it, and it will also make the follow-up students chill." ”
Linghu Su nodded yes, glanced at it, and said, "Xiuyun, pass on the willow drunkenness." ”
Xiuyun shouted outside the hall: "Spread the willow drunkenness." ”
Liu Zuihua was already waiting, not only him, but others were also there, and they were all in high spirits. The crown prince said that the emperor will inevitably not be able to step down, and when the time comes, they will definitely be summoned, as long as the emperor is given a step, they will be reused, and then enter the key departments and secretly do things for the prince.
"Hey, Brother Liu, why did you summon you alone?"
Liu Zuihua smiled without saying a word, and followed the leading eunuch into the Taihe Palace.
There was a passage in the Taihe Palace, and Liu Zuihua didn't dare to look up after entering the door, and when he reached the front position, he knelt down on his knees and shouted: "Minister Liu Zuihua, I have seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe." ”
"Flat, Liu Zuihua, you can tell what you see and hear, don't be afraid."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Yesterday, the Jinshi led by Zhou Xian gathered in the Zuixiang Building and talked about His Majesty's disloyalty, and said that His Majesty was a female thief and stole the orthodox ...... of the world."
"Presumptuous!"
"Bold!"
The ministers shouted angrily, so frightened that Liu Zuihua's body trembled, and he didn't dare to say any more. Although he is bold, he is a scholar after all, and he can't help but feel unstable at this time.
Linghu Su scolded: "You guys be quiet, you scare others." I think the adjective female thief is very good, in the past, when she was roaming the rivers and lakes, the female thief was sometimes also a heroine, walking the world with a sword, robbing the rich and helping the poor, how fast. ”
The ministers lowered their heads and did not speak, and Ling Husu asked Liu Zuihua to continue.
"They received a large sum of money from the king's house, and under the guidance of some princes, they threatened to resign from the court today. Whether His Majesty agrees or not, he will fall into their trap and tarnish His Majesty's reputation. ”
"What evidence is there?" Some ministers couldn't help but asked.
"They did not avoid me when they received the money, so I kept a book of accounts, which I have shown to your majesty."
"How can you prove the truth with just one account you keep by yourself."
Linghu Su said at this time: "Ning Zijing, come on!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. After receiving His Majesty's notice yesterday, he immediately arrested Zhao Er of the former Prince's Mansion, Li You of the Han Palace, and He Zhong of the Anwang Mansion. ”
Li Shilang hurriedly said: "Lord Ning, the word bribery can't be said nonsense, it may be that the princes feel that the students study hard, so they reward some money and property to help the students, which is a good thing." ”
Ning Zijing retorted: "Zhou Xian and the others, they are already officials, and they will leave for office on the same day, and they are not students for a long time, but an official official of my Chen State." There is no doubt that this silver is bribed, and whether other ministers have any doubts. ”
No one has any doubt that Ning Zijing is old and upright, and he will never join forces with the emperor to deceive his courtiers. What Ning Zijing said came true.
Ling Husu felt relaxed and asked the two prime ministers: "Minister Wen, Minister Fei, what do you say now, what should Zhou Xian and the others do?" ”
"Strip off the official position, punish the amount of corruption according to the law, and not be allowed to re-enter the court as an official in the future."
"Okay, so be it!"
At this time, a minister shouted: "Your Majesty, since Liu Zuihua knows this matter so well, is he also involved, if he doesn't take bribes, how dare others be exposed to his eyes." ”
As soon as these words came out, a group of ministers echoed them, most of these people were biased towards the four princes, even if they didn't dare to resist at this time, they wanted to give Ling Husu eye medicine when they had the opportunity.
Ling Husu was not in a hurry, and said: "I asked Liu Zuihua to be an undercover agent, is there a problem?" Is there a problem? ”
Ling Husu asked two questions in succession, but no one answered.
"Li Fang, you are already old, resign and return home! Take care of your days, Liu Zuihua, I think you are not pedantic, you have the ability, you take over Li Fang's position. ”
Li Fang was paralyzed on the ground, in fact, he was only forty years old.
Liu was overjoyed and immediately thanked him.
