"What else do you want to say, do you want to say it, just because you want to balance Zhang Qing and not let his power become too big. I still have to pinch my nose to forgive him Yang Sichang and continue to give him a chance? ”

Apocalypse asked Liu Hongxun angrily.

Liu Hongxun didn't hide it, and he didn't care about the anger of Yang Sichang at this time, and said: "That's what the minister meant. Your Majesty, Uncle Guo has repeatedly cut first and then played, you can forgive me. Why, Yang Butang was just defeated because of the incompetence of the generals below, so he couldn't be forgiven? ”

As he spoke, Liu Hongxun said again: "According to the emergency report, it was Li Fuming's lack of preparation, and even Yang Butang's improper command. In addition, Yang Butang also repeatedly sent urgent deliveries to the cabinet, saying that the Department of Industry had delayed sending firearms and gunpowder, presumably this was the root cause of the defeat. Instead of accusing Yang Butang here, His Majesty should ask Uncle Guo why the Industrial Department did not delay the firearms and gunpowder! ”

Zhang Gui stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the Department of Industry has not received Li Fuming's purchase order. In addition, the minister also sent a letter to ask Admiral Li Fuming whether he did not need to order firearms and gunpowder from the Industrial Division, or whether the Ministry of War did not allow him to order, but Li Fuming did not reply to the minister. ”

Apocalypse didn't speak.

At this time, Liu Hongxun took the opportunity to continue: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this defeat is due to Li Fuming's lack of preparation and delay in the war, but the root cause is that the imperial court has reformed too much, especially the reform of the imperial examination system, and no longer respects science alone, and loses the hearts of the people in the world. The rebels were able to win because they opened scientific examinations by virtue of their exclusive respect for science, and won the hearts of the people of the world! ”

As he spoke, Liu Hongxun bowed directly to the ground and slammed the elephant wat to the ground: "Your Majesty, please restore the original system of the imperial examination!" To solve the grievances of the hearts of the people in the world! ”

"Your Majesty! The minister still thinks that this has nothing to do with the hearts of the people, the people of the world are composed of Shinong and industrialists, and only scholars are scholars, for the common people, what is tested in the imperial examination is not important to them, and for the scholars, loyalty is very important to them, so this defeat has nothing to do with the hearts of the people. ”

Zhang Gui said: "If the elder really thinks that the people's hearts are on the side of the puppet dynasty, then the elder should also be from the hearts of the people in the world and go to the puppet dynasty to be an official!" ”

"You!"

Liu Hongxun was stunned by Zhang Gui's green muscles, and he had to say for a while: "Okay!" Putting these aside, what has caused the current situation, does Uncle Guo feel that he has no responsibility at all?! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Uncle Guo has no responsibility!"

"Yang Butang was not recommended by his uncle, and when he was appointed, the minister, the minister, did not recognize it in time and dissuaded him. Wang Wenkui and Wang Aoyong, these rebel ministers, can be appointed as feudal ministers, and they are not arranged by the uncle of the country, but are recommended by the courtiers. If you want to say that there is responsibility, in fact, the minister is a great responsibility! ”

Yuan Keli stood up decisively at this time, and then directly prostrate on the ground and took off the black gauze hat: "The ministers are not properly employed, and they are willing to resign and ask for guilt!" Your Majesty's permission! ”

"Your Majesty, if the hearts of the people are lost, they are all towards the puppet dynasty, and even there are scholars who go to the puppet dynasty, then the minister has a great responsibility for the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the minister is not effective in guiding the style of study, and the uncle of the country is not the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, this matter has nothing to do with him, so he must be held accountable, and the minister is guilty!"

Chen Zizhuang also followed and asked for guilt, saying: "The minister is also willing to resign and ask for guilt!" ”

Han Yi also said at this time: "If you count it, the first assistant of the minister will not be able to escape the blame!" ”

Yuan Keli and Chen Zizhuang, the reformist ministers, did this at this time, intending to tell Tianqi that if you really want to believe Liu Hongxun's words, focus on preventing Uncle Zhang Guo from making this kind of internal strife bigger, and no longer focus on external expansion and reform and reform, then take this opportunity to allow your own people to resign.

Because these people are all from Uncle Zhang's family, resigning is just conducive to weakening Uncle Zhang's power.

Apocalypse naturally understood what they meant, and said, "No!" If you want to say that you are responsible, the first is in me, it is I who gave him Yang Sichang, do I have to abdicate too?! ”

Yuan Keli and the others heard what the apocalypse said, so he had to get up, and it was not good to ask for guilt again.

Zhang Gui looked at Liu Hongxun at this time: "May I ask the elder Ge, who is in charge of the Ming Dynasty?" Could it be that the elder of the pavilion also thinks with those traitors that it is me Zhang Gui who is controlling the dynasty, and His Majesty is an unscrupulous and unscrupulous monarch who allows his relatives to become big?! ”

Some words can only be thought in the heart, and naturally cannot be spoken.

Liu Hongxun naturally didn't dare to admit it.

Tianqi glared at Liu Hongxun angrily because of this: "Much ado about nothing!" Do you think you can understand, I don't understand, and I need to be reminded by your self-righteousness? ”

Liu Hongxun heard the apocalypse say this, and was even more stimulated, so he couldn't get out of his breath, and a mouthful of blood spurted out and splashed on the hall, after this, he felt a lot, but he no longer spoke.

At this time, there was a Yushitian Jingyuan who suddenly stood up boldly and played out of place: "Your Majesty! The minister impeached the uncle Zhang Gui for making a move on the firearms and gunpowder given to Admiral Li! deliberately used inferior firearms and gunpowder to pass off as good products, and also colluded with Admiral Li to deliberately conceal it from Yang Butang, causing Yang Butang to always think that the firearms and gunpowder of the Industrial Division had not arrived. In fact, the Department of Industry had already given it, but it was just an inferior product that was pretended to be a good product, and it was just an opportunity to embezzle military silver with Li Fuming. ”

"Your Majesty, Uncle Zhang Guo took revenge for personal gain and delayed the military plane, please deal with it strictly!"

After hearing this, Zhang Gui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to lie, Li Fuming really didn't come to the Industrial Department to order!" It's not as Tian Yushi said! ”

Tian Jingyuan sneered at this time and asked, "Does Uncle Guo have any evidence?" Proof that Li Fuming didn't come to order? ”

Tian Jingyuan said aggressively: "Please ask Uncle Guo to come up with evidence!" ”

"Your Majesty, there is evidence that Uncle Guo framed Yang Butang for personal gain!"

Tian Jingyuan said, and at this moment, he said loudly to the apocalypse.

Liu Hongxun also felt a little better at this time, and secretly thought that this Tian Yushi was a brave and resourceful good official!

Liu Hongxun also ridiculed Zhang Guilai at this time: "If this is true, Uncle Guo's move is too disregarding the overall situation!" It's too much to repay! ”

Tianqi didn't pay attention to Liu Hongxun's ridicule, and only sank his face after hearing it, and asked Tian Jingyuan: "What evidence do you have?" ”

Tian Jingyuan said: "Your Majesty please announce the announcement of the ancestor of the prince of Nanjing to Zhu Zhiyu!" ”

"Zhu Zhiyu?"

After hearing this, Tianqi glanced at Zhang Gui suspiciously.

Yuan Keli, Chen Zizhuang and others all breathed a sigh of relief because of this, and they all looked at Tian Jingyuan like monkeys.

Even Liu Hongxun was quite disappointed, and looked at Tian Jingyuan in disbelief.

That's it?

"Why do you all look at me like that?"

And Tian Jingyuan, who was extremely proud, felt strange at this time.

Zhang Gui nodded tacitly.

At this time, the apocalypse said: "Quasi! Xuanzhu Zhiyu is here! ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, Zhu Zhiyu walked in and made a big salute to the apocalypse first.

At this time, Tian Jingcheng still played according to his original plan: "Your Majesty, Zhu Gong has in his hand the slip that his friend Li Fuming got after handing over the purchase of firearms and gunpowder in the Industrial Division!" This can prove it! ”

Apocalypse therefore asked Zhu Zhiyu cooperatively: "Zhu Zhiyu, do you have such a strip?" ”

"What strip?"

Zhu Zhiyu pretended not to understand and asked.

Then, Zhu Zhiyu said: "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't have any rules, and the minister doesn't have a friend named Li Fuming!" If the minister has a friend, then there is only one friend, and this person is Tian Yushi! ”
