Chapter 294 Abandoned
Seeing Zhao Xuanji enter the door, Xu Minglang put down the tea bowl and let out a contemptuous cold snort from his nostrils.
In Xu Minglang, who is scheming and has good kung fu, this kind of almost naked arrogant and provocative posture is basically not seen on weekdays.
It can be seen that Zhao Xuanji's layout for him this time made him feel huge pressure, so when he knew that he was winning, he couldn't wait to release his emotions when he saw Zhao Xuanji.
Zhao Xuanji came to his seat and sat down, picked up the tea bowl and tasted the tea by himself, with no intention of fighting with Xu Minglang.
"Now the government soldiers are unsustainable, resulting in a decline in the combat strength of the border army, as the war progresses, the original number of troops continues to decrease, and the new army is subordinate to the regimental training envoy and the defense envoy, I think it has been very idle to come to the Dadu Governor's Mansion recently, right?" Xu Minglang glanced at Zhao Xuanji, and had the intention to find the other party's bad luck.
As the head of the court's civil ministers and military generals, the status between the two was determined by the civil and military disputes, and now although the civil and military disputes are still there, they are no longer the main contradictions.
As the military divided a piece of the new army and the weight of the Jiangmen family declined at a rate that was visible to the naked eye, Zhao Xuanji's authority was greatly reduced.
After the collapse of the Pang Clan, the Zheng family and the Lu family were backward, and Xu Minglang, who was forced to bow his head and pretend to be his grandson in front of Zhao Xuanji, how could he not seize the opportunity to raise his eyebrows now? Especially at the moment when he knew that the other party was secretly gathering forces against him and wanted to bring him down, but he was doomed to fail.
"The affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, don't worry about Xu Xiang, Xu Xiang still has to worry more about his own affairs. Zhao Xuan responded lightly.
Xu Minglang secretly sneered, and did not intend to let Zhao Xuanji go, and continued:
"As the head of the imperial army, the Metropolitan Governor is derelict in his duty to fail to assist His Majesty and properly handle the affairs of the army. Now that the new army has been built one after another, and its scale is growing day by day, the DPRK and China cannot but be under the command of the government, and His Majesty has recently agreed to the Prime Minister's request to put the new army under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Minglang looked at Zhao Xuanji's eyes full of banter, "I look at the fact that the Metropolitan Governor is also old, it won't take long for the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to be fine." In the future, the governor will be able to live with peace of mind, walk dogs and tease birds, which is really envious. ”
This means that Zhao Xuanji will become an idler without power. Zhao Xuanji glanced at the smug Xu Minglang, and when he saw the other party's victorious face, he was bored in his heart, and he had the heart to ridicule him, but at this moment, the sound of the bell chime outside, and the time for the dynasty had arrived.
Zhao Xuanji then got up and went out, and stopped talking to Xu Minglang.
Soon, the courtiers were divided into two shifts, stepping on the first ray of the morning sun into the Hanyuan Palace, with Jing Xinmo's thick and high-pitched voice sounding, the emperor Song Zhi wearing a crown of beads appeared behind the imperial case.
At first, it was a normal pair, nothing particularly important.
After a few courtiers finished talking about their affairs, no one made a sound for a while, and the hall was suddenly quiet for a while, and many officials of the family looked at each other and gestured to each other, and the atmosphere immediately became strange.
Jing Xinmo was about to come to the last sentence as usual, "There is something to start and retreat from the dynasty", Yu Shi Zhongcheng suddenly held the wat board out of the ranks, as soon as he moved, the officials of the family were in good spirits, and those ministers who did not know that there would be turmoil today were also full of expressions, because the face of Yu Shi Zhongcheng was sad, and he looked bitter and bitter and wanted to cry.
"Your Majesty, the ministers impeached the dean Shi Tangxing and Zhou Junchen, lawless, wantonly framed the officials of the dynasty, and in the past two years, hundreds of unjust, false and wrongful cases have been created, resulting in the destruction of thousands of families, causing the people's resentment to boil, and the world is uneasy, please Your Majesty to investigate ......"
After speaking, Yu Shi Zhongcheng presented his own recital, and immediately fell to the ground, crying silently, as if he had died of his own son. It is true that those who see it cry, and those who hear it are heartbroken.
Song Zhi looked like he was listening to the Book of Heaven, and he was extremely surprised: "There is such a thing?
The squire of the military department then came out of the ranks, also full of sorrow, and said miserably: "Your Majesty, this matter is true, in July of the eighth year of Qianfu, a ruffian and scoundrel falsely accused Cui Cheng, a member of the military department, of corruption and bribery......
"When he entered the magistrate's house, he fell into a coma because he could not bear the torture, and Tang Xing actually grabbed his hand and put his handprint on the confession he had made! Poor Cui Cheng was incorruptible, and he was dismissed because of this, and he died of depression and illness only a few days after he returned to his home!
"In the past two years, the crimes of the Magistrate's Court are too numerous to mention...... The matter of that day involved the subordinates of the minister, and the minister could not stay out of the matter, and after inquiring for a long time, he finally collected some evidence, please take a look at it!"
said, offered the fold, and then bowed to the ground like the royal history.
With these two people at the head, one after another family officials came out one after another, counting all kinds of crimes and evil deeds of the Magistrate's Court, and in an instant, more than a dozen people bowed to the ground. There are people in the middle who weep incessantly from beginning to end, and their feelings are sincere, obviously some relatives and friends have been brutalized by the magistrate's court.
Song Zhi quickly glanced at the folds handed over by the ministers, his complexion changed several times in the middle, and at the end, the resentment was overflowing, and when he looked at the ministers in the palace, his face was full of anger, so he walked out of the imperial case, personally helped up the imperial history and the military department, and said with tears in his eyes:
"I never thought that there would be so many perverse acts in the Magistrate's Court, and I trusted Tang Xing and the others so much, but I was so deceived by them!
Saying that, Song Zhi returned to the throne with a straight face, "Tang Xing is undisciplined, reckless, and cruel to Zhongliang, which is not tolerated by the imperial dynasty, and he is ordered to be immediately imprisoned and temporarily sealed as a magistrate." This case will be handed over to the three divisions for strict trial, and within five days, there must be a result!"
Hearing this, Yu Shi Zhongcheng, the soldier and others were all overjoyed and grateful.
Xu Minglang looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring Song Zhi, and after listening to the other party's disposition decision, his heart couldn't help but burst. The magistrate's house is led by him, Tang Xing and others are guilty, and he can't escape the blame, and now the emperor is so harsh that Xu Minglang is uneasy.
However, he was just a little uneasy, and he didn't feel the real crisis, he was just a nominal member of the Magistrate's Court, and even if he was responsible, he wouldn't be punished at the worst, and he didn't have to worry about the position of prime minister.
At this time, Yu Shi Zhongcheng, the soldier and others retreated, the hall had just quieted down, and the Yu Shi Dafu came out of class with a solemn face, and he said amazingly as soon as he opened his mouth:
"Your Majesty, the ministers impeached Prime Minister Xu Minglang, connived at the Magistrate's House to do evil and turned a blind eye, sat back and watched the land annexation intensify without restraint, and watched the courtiers fight each other and did nothing, causing thousands of officials to be wronged and aggrieved, which is a great disaster for the imperial dynasty, please stop it!"
This time, Song Zhi did not show any surprise, and his complexion did not change, he sat firmly on the throne and did not move, but just groaned.
Zhao Xuanji immediately came out of class, he said that two years ago, Xu Minglang instructed the Pang family, the Zheng family and other sects to frame the Zhao family.
Immediately afterwards, more than 20 officials from the generals and the family came out to impeach Xu Minglang, and the responsibility was varied, the core of which was Xu Minglang's dereliction of duty, not only did he not deserve to be the prime minister again, but he should also be imprisoned for punishment.
No one said that Xu Minglang had endangered the overall interests of the family, and everyone's reasons were above board.
Xu Minglang had expected this scene for a long time, so he was not flustered, and after Zhao Xuanji's side came forward, nearly half of the officials in the court bowed to the ground, and he signaled to his own people, asking them to come forward to refute the impeachment of Zhao Xuanji and others, and to express their dissenting positions.
Although there are not many such officials, they are enough to get started, and then naturally there are poor officials instructed by the emperor to speak one after another with great momentum to resist and even overwhelm the impeachment of Zhao Xuanji and others.
Xu Minglang's manpower did take a stand, but after these few voices fell, the hall fell silent again.
No cold-door officials moved, and no cold-door officials complained about Xu Minglang and refuted the impeachment of Zhao Xuanji and others.
Xu Minglang waited for a while, and after finding that there was no one to support, his heart jumped suddenly, and he didn't care about his manners, and turned back to look at those poor officials.
But I saw that these people were looking at their noses and noses one by one, and they all looked like they were out of the way, as if their ears were deaf, and they didn't notice the changes in front of them at all.
At this moment, Xu Minglang was shocked and hurriedly looked at Song Zhi on the throne.
The other party didn't look at him, but looked like he was moved by many family officials, and his eyes were flashing and thinking about something.
In the face of the impeachment of such a person, Xu Minglang could not defend his innocence, he could only let others speak for him, and then wait for the emperor's disposal.
But now, the emperor doesn't seem to have any intention of helping him!
What's going on?
Didn't he say that the emperor would let the officials of the poor family protect him?
Zhao Yujie is obviously very sure!
The longer the time was quiet, the more ugly Xu Minglang's face became, and he gradually panicked later.
"That being the case, the prime minister will go home to recuperate, and wait for the three divisions to find out whether the impeachment of Zhu Qing is true, and then decide how to deal with it. Finally, Song Zhi glanced at Xu Minglang and gave a decision.
From the emperor's eyes, Xu Minglang didn't see half of the affection. Yes, it's just the indifference of the emperor.
From the emperor's words, he didn't feel the slightest hesitation. Yes, it is just a decisive judgment.
Xu Minglang was like being struck by lightning, his body shook, he couldn't help but take two steps back, and his face was suddenly dead, like a mourning exam.
He finally realized that Zhao Yujie had lied to him!
But how could Zhao Yujie lie to him?
Why did Zhao Yujie lie to him?
Who can let Zhao Yujie lie to him?
Who made Zhao Yujie abandon the alliance with his interests?
The answer is obvious.
In the whole world, there is only one person who can make Zhao Yujie, who is already a first-class concubine and participates in the review and review in Chongwen Palace, make this choice.
Song Zhi.
This means that Song Zhi deliberately asked Zhao Yujie to tell him that the emperor would protect him. The purpose is to make him let his guard down and ensure that today's impeachment can go smoothly and achieve its goal!
At this moment, Xu Minglang realized very clearly that he was abandoned by the emperor.
And it was a premeditated abandonment!
is different from two years ago, this time, the emperor is in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and he really has no day to turn over!
Xu Minglang was unexpected, shocked and surprised, only to feel that his eyes were black, as if the sky had fallen.
He didn't understand why the emperor had abandoned him.
Wasn't he obedient enough and loyal enough to the emperor?
For this reason, he has even become the enemy of most of the big families!
At this time, Zhao Xuanji, who had already gotten up, paused slightly before returning to his position, when he passed in front of Xu Minglang, and teased in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xu Xiang, you say, who should be idle at home and take care of the rest of the world?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Xuanji suddenly realized, "This person must not be Xu Xiang." Because Xu Xiang, your crime of dereliction of duty is very serious, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to live for a long time. ”
Hearing Zhao Xuanji's words, Xu Minglang only felt his heart churning, and he couldn't get out of his chest with a breath, and finally got his breath down, and didn't suffocate himself to death, but a mouthful of blood came to his mouth.
