Cai Xianqing followed him down the corridor, and said as he walked: "Tinglong is really optimistic. Although the emperor has not publicly refuted us and others, he has issued a clear decree to stop the reform of Tian Zheng, and Zhu Yangrui will also escape justice. Moreover, the ministers were instigated by Zeng Liang and must draw a line with the New Deal and fall to the side of the Chen Party...... If that's the case, we're even more isolated. ”

Ye Yongjia sighed: "There's no way, I hesitate and lose the opportunity myself, I can't complain about others, and now I can only break my front teeth and swallow it in my stomach, it's useless to entangle these." As for the ministers, most of them see the wind and steer, but they don't have to pay attention to their movements all the time. ”

"But there are many people, and you should know that. It's better to take Dong Sheng from ......"

"Stop." Ye Yongjia looked at the empty surroundings, waved his hand and said, "These things can't be explained clearly in a few words, it's better to go to my mansion first and summon others to discuss together." ”

"Everyone?" Cai Xianqing asked.

"That's right," Ye Yongjia nodded, "Including Lu Tingci, he must come too." ”

This is a big meeting that has not been seen in a long time. Except for Dong and Wanduo, almost all the 'Ye Dang' gathered in Ye Yongjia's mansion, whether it was an official in an important position or a confidant in some ministries, a total of more than 20 people, all sat down in the hall, chatting and laughing happily.

Cui's served the wine and food, Ye Yongjia greeted them for a while, and only when the wine was half-drunk did he put down his double chopsticks and said: "I invite you to come here, not specifically for drinking, but for important matters to discuss. Now that the Chen Party has co-opted Zeng Liang and forced the emperor to ban the new policy, the situation is critical, I don't know if I have any suggestions? ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and they put away their cheerful looks, but they were silent.

"Is there no one to share my worries with?" Ye Yongjia suddenly showed a little disappointment.

"Ye Bingbu, I think this matter is easy to solve." I saw Cui Yi shaking the wine glass in his hand, exhaling the smell of wine, and said softly.

"Oh?" Ye Yongjia smiled a little, "Now that the Chen Party is so powerful, how can Chief Cui say it so easily?" Can't do it...... You've got a plan? ”

"Exactly." Cui Yi stood up and waved at him slightly, "Lord Ye doesn't know the truth of 'Sai Weng loses his horse, and it is also a blessing and a curse'?" With a large number of people, they can take the initiative, but they also expose a lot of weaknesses, which is like holding a double-edged sword. ”

He then walked out of the banquet and paced in the middle of the hall: "The problem lies with these newly attached ministers. They just fell with the wind, and their relationship with the Chen Party was not very close, and they were naturally not controlled by the Chen thief; However, they will not give up the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and they will certainly make desperate demands on us. If a trap can be set up to induce them to attack, the danger will be turned into safety in one fell swoop, and the great thing can be decided. ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Aren't we just afraid of that treacherous and cunning comrade Chen? Without his command, this rabble would be nothing to worry about! One person muttered loudly, and the crowd around him echoed.

However, Cai Xianqing's expression was still heavy, and he said in disbelief: "But that ban is a clear decree issued by the emperor himself, even if he can deal with the ministers and give them a charge of 'calling the masses to form a party', this edict cannot be taken back." Unless you have a way to implicate the emperor in this matter. ”

Cui Yi smiled and said: "I don't know if Cai Laoji remembers, before the emperor wanted King Yi to live in the palace, and the Ministry of Special Works built the West Garden; Later, due to the busy official business, the work was ordered to be stopped. ”

Cai Xianqing's eyes widened and nodded frequently: "I remembered!" ”

"Wouldn't that be easy? For example, we can ask Lü Yushi to impeach a very popular official, saying that he had bad intentions in curbing the construction of Xiyuan; Then Yu Shuzhong Li Chen asked the emperor to decree the start of construction. Such two moves will inevitably provoke the crowd to make trouble, and what will happen next is to be predicted. ”

Ye Yongjia thought so, and his eyes were full of relief: "Director Cui has been able to offer miraculous plans many times to save me from urgent needs, and he is really a shrewd and capable person, enough to appoint big things." You should ask him for advice, if you can learn such skills, the new policy will be unstoppable. ”

Everyone didn't know that Cui Yi was Lord Ye's brother-in-law, and when they heard what he said, they competed with each other to flatter, but they only said yes; Minghui looked at it coldly, although he was not happy, but he was also worried about Ye Yongjia's face, so he had to echo and say a few words against his will.

After the meeting was dismissed, Lu Tingci hurriedly changed into court clothes, returned to the imperial history platform, and began to draft the impeachment chapter. As for who to impeach, he couldn't help but have some entanglements in his heart: 'Although most of the Manchu ministers are attached to the Chen Party, in the end, they have different political views, and they are not some crimes that hurt nature and reason; If one is chosen at will to be impeached, will not the loyal and good ministers be wronged? ’

Therefore, after thinking about it, I came up with a name: 'It is not difficult to find a villain with bad deeds in the court, but if you want to cause a shock, I am afraid that the only one who can do it is Prime Minister Su Zongshan. He used to form a party for personal gain, and now he is a vegetarian meal, which is really hateful, and taking the opportunity to impeach him can be regarded as a righteous statement. With his mind in mind, he took up the pen and deliberated it several times, and finally presented it the next morning.

As soon as the emperor woke up and was washing, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a stack of recitals to him. He didn't care about it at first, but he happened to catch a glimpse of the document placed on the top, which was written in neat big characters such as 'impeachment of the prime minister and ineffective supervision'. He was not shocked, but suddenly sobered up and called the eunuch on the side to uncover it. The eunuch had never seen the emperor have such an expression, and he was also frightened, and he trembled and untied the rope and took out the notebook given by Lu Tingci.

The emperor took it and read it a few times, and suddenly turned from shock to anger, slammed the book hard, opened his eyes and scolded: "Su Zongshan dares to do this!" ”

The eunuch timidly raised his eyelids and said, "If Your Majesty wants to give a will, the slave will do it." ”

"I ......" The emperor was halfway through speaking, but he suddenly regretted it in his heart, so he smacked his lips and said: "After all, this is a matter between their courtiers, and I don't plan to intervene." And thou shalt proclaim this to thy ministers, and let them consult for themselves. ”

The eunuch immediately received the order, and went to the main hall with this recital in his arms.

Just as the morning dynasty was about to begin, all the officials were gathered in the courtroom, and when they heard someone shouting a few times, "Hundred officials listen to the order", they all walked out, and saw the eunuch jump off the horse and hurriedly bow down.

The eunuch dusted off his trouser legs, held up the recital and said: "The emperor received a recital today, which was impeached by a certain imperial historian Su Zongshan, the current prime minister. In order to prevent this person from framing the minister, I specially asked my father-in-law to announce to you and others to discuss right and wrong! Master Su, do you have anything to say at this time? ”

Su Zongshan's face was expressionless, he only took a step forward, kowtowed, and said, "Su is speechless, I just want to know which imperial history played it." I kindly ask my father-in-law to identify this person's name and surname. ”
