Chapter 262: The Theory of Balance
"The old minister is guilty!"
Xue Guoguan lowered his head, was silent, and greeted Liu Lishun and the women of the whole family in his heart, he has been with the old man for so many years, this way of scheming, he has learned the inside of the dog's belly, Li Xingzhi is a military general, he mourned for Zuo Liangyu, and he can also shirk it because he has not read a book and does not know the number of etiquette, you play the impeachment of Yang Sichang, doesn't this directly say that the old man is jealous of his meritorious service?
Xue Guoguan is still responsible, and he directly carried it for Liu Lishun, if he doesn't carry it, he can't do it! If he can't even take good care of his protégé, then who is willing to work for him.
"Your Majesty, Peng Laibo mourned for Zuo Liangyu, but also for the country, and his colleagues were saddened by the death of his colleagues, and the proposal to ask for the general of the thief for Zuo Yuan is also out of the heart of the soldiers in the world, he was born as a thief, and it is normal not to be polite, as for Liu Lishun, I am afraid it is also out of righteous indignation, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate."
Cai Yishen, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead, he was Xue Guoguan's hardcore cronies, so he naturally wanted to stand for Xue Guoguan.
Chongzhen's face was gloomy, what Cai Yishen said was actually good, adding Zuo Yuan is to make the soldiers of the world think that the country can treat the military ministers fairly, so that they can do their best to contribute to the court.
But you know that Yang Sichang asked He Renlong to be crowned and wanted to use the seal of the thief to let He Renlong do his best to suppress the thief, but you actually complained about Zuo Liangyu, and even openly set up sacrifices in Suizhou, this is not to provoke the military attache's dissatisfaction with the imperial court, or is it unfair to me?
"Your Majesty, Liu Lishun and Penglaibo are from the same expedition to Huguang, Penglaibo was born in the countryside, but Liu Lishun is a Jinshi and the first, he should know what Yang Ge Lao means, although the thieves are now peaceful, but the two of the rebels and Luo thieves are still at large, and they are not crowned He Renlong, why do they make the front-line soldiers do their best? The headquarters thought that Liu Li, the governor of Shandong, was harboring evil intentions, and his crime should be punished! ”
Chen Xinjia, the left attendant of the military department, Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, and he almost didn't explicitly say that Xue Guoguan threatened the imperial court with his troops.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter may be a conspiracy between Liu Lishun and Penglaibo, Penglaibo was originally born as a thief, and he has no reverence for the imperial court, and Penglaibo fought in the north and was a thief in Nanping, and the soldiers were strong and strong, and Liu Lishun's self-respecting heart was clearly revealed."
Recently, there were rumors that Xue Guoguan thought that the imperial court had no money, but the ministers and nobles had money in their hands, so he asked Chongzhen for an order, intending to make the nobles and officials donate property to the imperial court for the purpose of expropriation.
Now the emperor obviously doesn't like Liu Lishun's impeachment of Yang Sichang, and he and others just take advantage of the topic to play, although they can't pull Xue Guoguan off the horse, but at least they can plant a seed in the emperor's heart, as long as they find a good opportunity, maybe they can win the stumbling block of Xue Guoguan for Yang Sichang in one fell swoop.
Chen Qixin played in the matter of the household department: "Your Majesty, Peng Laibo is a national minister, and Weichen thinks that Liu Lishun and Xungui are too close, which is really against the way of the ministers, and Your Majesty will apply for it now!" ”
"Your Majesty, the governor of Shandong, Liu Lishun, the three major crimes and twelve minor crimes, should be tried by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so as to clarify the law of the country!"
"Your Majesty......!"
"Your Majesty......!"
Wang Yingyuan and Chen Qixin took the lead, and a group of officials came out one after another, and the warm pavilion of Wuying Hall was full of emotion for a while.
The eyes of all officials and internal supervisors are focused on the first assistant of the cabinet, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the secretary of the household department, Shangzhuguo, the young master, and the Ronglu doctor Xue Guoguan, after all, everyone knows that Liu Lishun is Xue Guoguan's protégé, if Liu Lishun falls, Xue Guoguan is afraid that he will not have the face to stay in the court!
"Your Majesty is gracious, and listen to the old minister!"
Xue Guoguan's face was pale, and he bowed heavily in front of Zhu Youzhen's throne, he was born in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, and the sea was up and down for 20 years, and he was like a fish in water in the Chongzhen Dynasty, Chongzhen entered the cabinet in nine years, and was promoted to the position of the first assistant in only three years, which is naturally not comparable to leisure.
"The first one, please hurry up, I don't blame you, it's just that the governor and Penglaibo have different opinions, and the court has a clear will, and now Penglaibo is willing to sacrifice Zuo Liangyu and I am afraid that if I don't seal Zuo Yuan, it will hurt the hearts of the world's martial artists, and please teach me first."
Xue Guoguan is loyal or treacherous, Chongzhen is clear, although this person is greedy, but there is absolutely no disobedience, since he came to power, he has tried every means to get silver for the court.
The 500,000 taels of silver that Zhang Xianzhong was levied by Xue Guoguan this time, and the courtiers bit him and did not let go, which was really caused by Xue Guoguan's "donation of salaries" from courtiers and nobles.
"Your Majesty, since the Yang Pavilion Department has awarded the seal of the thief to He Renlong, the court has a clear decree on this matter, and there is no reason to change it, otherwise where is the dignity of the court? Where is the majesty of Your Majesty? Peng Laibo and Liu Lishun played the matter of asking Zuo Yuan, the grandson of Zuo Town, and the old minister thought that a seal could be reset to raise the credit of Zuo Town. ”
"Liu Lishun and Peng Laibo are not careful, so that His Majesty makes it difficult, this is the crime of the ministers, but Peng Laibo was born as a martial artist, it is a hero and a hero, Zuo Zhen father and son are wearing several wounds and fight to the death, with only 20,000 military horses to block the main force of the thieves, for the Shandong army to arrive at the battlefield to win precious time, Peng Laibo thanked Zuo Zhen for his loyalty, for his funeral sacrifice, how unreasonable? Liu Lishun, a student of this pavilion, is also a person who understands the righteousness, please seal Zuo Yuan, it is to show that His Majesty does not forget the heart of loyal ministers, as for the impeachment of Yang Sichang, I am afraid that it is out of righteous indignation, after all, the matter of making Zuo Yuan inherit the post of Zuo Zhen, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the front-line soldiers, however, the old minister estimates that Yang Ge Lao is also focusing on how to exterminate the rebels and thieves, ignoring this point. ”
Xue Guoguan is reasonable, not only did he think of a way to save his reputation for Chongzhen, but he also took the opportunity to slander Yang Sichang, of course, as an old fox who has been immersed in officialdom for 20 years, he will naturally not go into battle shirtless like Liu Lishun, Yang Sichang has a great merit in eliminating Zhang Xianzhong, which will not be able to knock him down at all.
"The elder of the pavilion is worthy of being the minister of the pillar country, you listen to this is the way to seek the country, you and so on all day long to attack each other, at every turn on the platform, who has many crimes, do not think about solving problems for me, I really don't know what to say, this matter will be done according to the first proposal, you can not discuss it again."
"Your Ministers obey!"
The emperor spoke, and the ministers dared to say anything more, so they all stopped and retreated.
Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch who was with him, was dusty and was just about to speak.
Ye Tinggui, the right attendant of the household department, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have important things to do, since the siege of Jinzhou in October last year, the Jiliao Governor Hong Chengchou has asked the court several times for salary, ready to gather troops to rescue Jinzhou, but the treasury is empty, and finally received some money and grain, and it was spent on the Huguang battlefield. ”
