The decision to waive the trial was not as easy as it sounded, as it meant that the original accusations had turned into defamation. It is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Liu Party, not only will there be some criticism in the court, but it is also enough to make the dissidents have the idea of making a move, and the invincible position of the Liu Party is very likely to collapse in an instant.

It is impossible for Liu Zhennian not to realize this, but the more this matter drags on, the more trouble it will incur, so it is better to let go early, at least to leave a decent ending.

Niu Yuan's situation is even worse, the ensuing difficult problems make it impossible for him to have the former's free and easy mentality, he asked people to go to the criminal department to close the case, and on the other hand, he was busy covering up his mistakes, and he was so anxious in the official office that he hated Yan Wen more and more, and secretly scolded him.

But no matter how to remedy it, Rong Qing and Taisu's exoneration was like slapping Fengxiang in the face, and this upstart who would rise to prominence was disgraced for a while, his reputation plummeted, and he became the object of ridicule of the minister's officials.

The so-called disaster is not a one-way street, just when the Liu Party has not yet resolved the crisis, there is another urgent report from the border pass: Xuanhua is lost. The Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, accusing the governors of being ineffective, and the piles of recitals were handed to the court, so that the legs of the eunuchs were sore.

But Niu Yuan, who had been depressed for a long time, did not feel sad, but saw the opportunity to make a comeback, so he went to find Liu Zhennian excitedly.

"This, and this ......"

A book of books was messily pressed together, and Gui Fu held the basket and carefully picked the remaining books inside.

Liu Zhennian flipped through it irritably, and threw it on the desk after a cursory two pages.

"Oh, it's ...... of Goshidai. Katsura looked at it from the front and was surprised.

"Alas...... Liu Zhennian reached out to take it, "Sure enough, he is indispensable." ”

"Look, it's better to ......"

Gui Fu was about to admonish, when he suddenly heard a sound at the door, and Niu Yuan walked in.

"It's more appropriate for me to say your words." He said with a smile.

"You can still laugh ......," Liu Zhennian glanced at him.

"If this matter needs to be handled by a subordinate official, it must be turned into a blessing." Niu Yuan sat across from him and said.

"Straight to the point."

"Does the prime minister still remember Niu's former border army reform? The previous time has taken advantage of this to make a big reputation, although it died without a problem, but presumably Yu Wei is still there. Why don't we take advantage of the impeachment of the people and turn it into the funds for our rectification of the army, so that we can consolidate the military power in other places, and second, we can make meritorious contributions to the court, and use the reform of politics to divert the loss of our internal affairs, wouldn't we kill two birds with one stone? ”

After hearing this, Liu Zhennian began to smile a little on his face: "It's a little interesting...... I wonder who will be sent on patrol this time? ”

"Ye Tinglong is very clever and well versed in government politics, so it is best to send him out." Niu Yuan replied without thinking.

"How many dangers Tinglong has experienced with me, and let him go to the tiger's wolf's den lightly, it seems that I don't have the heart to love talent."

Niu Yuan laughed and said, "You're wrong. This Ye Shilang has always wanted to make contributions for you, and these things are the first to stand up. I didn't call him happy last time, and when I came back, my face was a little ugly. This time, we will allow him to go further, set up a new army and everything, and keep him happy, you don't have to worry about this. ”

"That's good......" Liu Zhennian had no objection.

Niu Yuan was followed by two eunuchs, each holding a stack of books, ignoring the ministers standing on either side, only looking straight ahead, striding into the main hall, and putting the things in their hands on the mahogany table in the middle.

"I summoned you to the palace to dispose of everyone's opinions," Niu Yuan paced and said, "The prime minister has read your words and decided to follow the will of the people, and remove Shi Yiyi from the position of governor of Xuanhua for the crime of ineffective supervision!" ”

All the ministers looked at each other, bowed their heads one after another, and all shouted: "The prime minister is wise! A few even applauded excitedly.

Niu Yuan waited for them to be happy, and then spoke again: "But once the country has been defeated to this point, and Kejie has not been seen for many years, how can such a border defense protect Yizhou County, and how can it be called a barrier for the Beijing Division?" If we don't rejuvenate governance and reform the army, when will our dynasty be bullied by the northern captives! I'm going to show your majesty and send the men of the military department out on patrol again! ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

"Fengxiang," Jie Wenwu coughed twice, and shook out of the crowd with his stomach up, "You said so before, you have to get a patrol, and it took a while to rectify it, but as a result, Xuanhua was lost, and more than 3,000 people were broken, and it didn't work!" ”

"yes, yes!" There were echoes from all directions.

Niu Yuan snorted lightly in his nose, and looked at him with a cold gaze: "Master Jie, doesn't this mean that the intensity of the change is too light!" ”

"Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and it is normal to lose land and seize cities. Now it is obviously the day of the peace of the four seas, and the good news sent by the provinces and governments to the capital is placed in the secret pavilion, and we can see it; Why is it in the mouth of the prime minister, the east is not good, the west is not good, and the good Langlang Qiankun seems to have become a hell on earth! ”

"These are all imaginary assumptions of adults, and I have never said such things!" Niu Yuan waved his sleeves angrily, "The border army has no fighting power, how can we talk about taking the city?" It's all because your military department doesn't notice the use of people, fuels the thief's situation, and dares to speak out here? ”

Both of them blushed and their voices became louder and louder, and Jie Wenwu rolled up his sleeves and slapped the table vigorously, as if he wanted to do something.

Seeing this, Comrade Chen hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the Jiebing Department: "What Feng Xiang meant at the beginning was just to patrol the borderlands, and there was nothing else to think about, why should Jiegong stir up his resentment." Since Shi Yiyi's official was dismissed, he should send an envoy to announce and choose another general, which is normal. In other words, it scares you. ”

"This ......" Jiewen Wuzhen was choked by his words, so he had to say hesitantly, "Then let the minister do what he should do." ”

As soon as Niu Yuan raised his eyes, he saw that he had returned to the train, his anger disappeared a lot, and he continued to say the original words: "Biansai's life is evil, and he must be elected as a brave minister to be competent." ”

His gaze began to look into the crowd, and the circle to the east almost skimmed; When he turned to look west, he suddenly blinked and stopped.

"Ye Shilang, you already have experience, this time you will be able to tour the north again, it will definitely be better." Niu Yuan dusted off his clothes and beckoned him over.

Ye Yongjia glanced at Cai Xianqing indifferently, and the latter only shrugged his eyebrows and turned his face to the sky.

He silently walked up to Niu Yuan, leaned down expressionlessly, and saluted.

"Tinglong, when I am young, I will go to the palace to see the saint first, you go to Zhongshu Province for the time being, I want to explain a few words to you. Wait there and come in a moment! Niu Yuan pretended to pat his shoulder blade enthusiastically, but Ye Yongjia did not move.
