Chapter 47: The Target

Yang Tinghe thinks it's too difficult, what's the problem with the answer just now?

Can you Zhu Houxi not be so nervous!

The first time I went to the court, I said that I didn't want to go to the court in the future, what the hell is this going to do?

Also: Why do you always take me Yang Tinghe under the knife, I didn't mention anything today!

Is it just for me to refute you and create the impression that I don't deal with you?

The people outside the station actually didn't hear what the emperor said clearly, and when they saw the front of them kneeling down in unison, and everyone in front of them suddenly spoke, they all knelt down in a daze.

When I roughly understood Yang Ting and their impassioned advice, I realized that the emperor had just said that "the court meeting will not be held".

The tears are about to come out, is it only the eunuch and a few important ministers again?

On the throne, Zhu Houxi raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know why I think so?" Then listen up. ”

The bottom finally quieted down, and Zhu Houxi raised his voice a little: "When I first ascended to the throne, what I saw was that the crowd was raging and angry. His words were exaggerated, and no one in the court was recognized as virtuous. There are three winds in the court, attacking the wind, exaggerating the wind, and retreating into the wind! ”

"Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Yang Tan, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Wang Xian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Li Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Jin, the imperial history of Zuodu, Liang Chu, Jiang Mian, ...... of the university scholars" Zhu Houxi read the names of many important ministers in one breath, "How big of a problem is it, and now you have to be completely impeached, including the first assistant?" ”

"Is this a test of my employment preferences, or is it a declaration to me that there is a raging force in the court, so that I have to weigh the importance of first getting rid of a group of people and trusting a group of people?" Zhu Houxi paused sympathetically, "Most of the impeachments were given by the six departments and the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. You can hear about it, but you are so unjust and loyal to the country, so boastful? Impeached all the important ministers of the court, do you want me to do it all? ”

The spearhead was pointed at the official, and many people suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

Would it be a mistake to say this time? His Majesty was not prepared to make a big move against the court, but accused the ministers of attacking each other at this time of the old and the new being not an act of loyalty to the country.

"Especially you, Qi Zhiluan."

Although he didn't turn his head to look at it all of a sudden, the Son of Heaven suddenly named him, and the eyes of the others who turned their eyes still made Qi Zhiluan next to Xia Yan suddenly feel like a man.

Zhu Houxi chuckled: "Let the ministers of civil and military affairs at home and abroad and those who have not been honored by military merits write from Chen, and let Kedao investigate the impeachment of traitors and villains." Why, now that there are so many things going on in the country, in your Qi Zhiluan's opinion, the first priority is to have a big purge? ”

Qi Zhiluan was named, and after kneeling down and kowtowing, he said stubbornly: "If the incumbents of the hundred officials are villains rather than virtuous people, the harm is even worse!" During the reign of the Holy Monarch, the first essence of his reign is to select the virtuous and use them. There are many things to do in the country, and if you want to clarify, the first priority is to employ people! The ministers asked His Majesty to summon Fei Hong to return to the court, which is to recommend talents for the country, how can he say that he is purging? His Majesty's words, the ministers do not agree with it! ”

"And you Zhang Jiuxu." Zhu Houxi named the name of the official department again, "You impeached Liang Chu for attaching power to the traitor, Wang Qiongyi A Quanxing, the secretary of the household department, the secretary of the military department, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the imperial history of Zuodu and many other people are mediocre and unemployed." According to what you said, a cabinet elder, Jiuqing goes to the fifth, isn't this a great purge? ”

Zhang Jiuxu also stood up and knelt next to Qi Zhiluan: "What the minister said is true, please ask Your Majesty to investigate it strictly." ”

"According to the rules, you have to defend yourself at this time, right?" Zhu Houxi first looked at Liang Chu, and then asked Wang Qiong, "Wang Dehua, do you have anything to say?" ”

He called Wang Qiong's cousin, and Wang Qiong had been listening to it before.

Now that he saw that Liang Chu was really impeached together, and he was impeached by the same person, he said that it was true that he was sympathetic to the same disease.

Wang Qiong listened to Zhu Houxi's questioning, and after kneeling down, he said in a sonorous tone: "The minister Wang Qiong did have dealings with the ministers in the past, with Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, and also had correspondence with King Ning. But Zhang Jiuxu's words, the minister did not dare to agree! ”

"Your Majesty, Wang Qiong has confessed to the crime of rebellion, please ask Your Majesty to ask someone to ask him immediately, and he will be punished!"

Zhu Houxi felt that the smell of the last dynasty was really coming, is this a court dispute? The second half of the sentence is not asked, and it is guilty to admit that there is a relationship.

Listening to Zhang Jiuxu's impassioned suggestion, Zhu Houxi only smiled and waited for Wang Qiong to finish.

glanced at Yang Tinghe on the side, and saw a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

So what are you worried about?

"Stand up and say."

Zhu Houxi said to Wang Qiong: "As a great heavenly official of the ministry, Wang Qing must have a different opinion. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Qiong was a little excited in her heart.

He finally understood why Liang Chu called him to talk with him before, it turned out to be a hint of self-protection.

Compared with Wang Qiong, Liang Chu obviously knows the Son of Heaven better.

Therefore, when he mentioned his rich resume, he should be implying that his son of heaven values a person's ability to do things, right? Linked to the previous Son of Heaven's respectful title for him, Wang Qiong had a bottom in his heart.

He stood up and glanced at Zhang Jiuxu and said: "If it is said that it is rebellious, it is also Wang Shouren who burned the fire badly, and burned all the letters between the rebel palace and the civil and military officials, otherwise Zhang gave the rebellious ministers in the mouth, and there would be countless of them." Besides, when Liu Jin, Qian Ning, and Jiang Bin were there, how many people in the court and China only had official dealings with them and never had personal relations? ”

"The minister governed the Cao River for three years, and there were eight volumes of "Cao River Atlas"; The minister was reappointed as the household department Langzhong, and transferred to the right political envoy of Henan, when the Hongzhi period, the minister worked carefully, how could he have the name of diligence and ability? In the early years of Zhengde, the minister was promoted step by step because he had dealings with Liu Jin, but in the face of Liu Jin's fierce flames at that time, what did the cabinet minister do? ”

"When the minister was appointed as the secretary of the household department, there was no leakage in the country's financial plan, and some people at that time also praised the minister for his talent. However, after the minister and Peng Ze fought for the military department, their reputation deteriorated. The minister recommended Wang Shouren, set up a general army in the river, Tang Majiu rebelled, good news was spread frequently, the first emperor did not hesitate to reward the merits, and the minister was awarded the young master, the prince and the prince. The first emperor was seriously ill, and he ordered his ministers to move to the ministry of Shangshu. ”

"Now that the first emperor is in power, the ministers have become traitors to the power of Yia. The minister has been a book since the eighth year of Zhengde, and the appointment of the minister since then is all from the first emperor! Zhang Jiuxu, why don't you say that the first emperor is a traitor? ”

Being thrown away by such a big hat, Zhang Jiuxu was furious, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Wang Qiong is very disrespectful!" The first emperor was just deceived by others, and Wang Qiong talked about the first emperor so vainly! ”

Wang Qiong turned to face Zhu Houxi, and saluted and shouted extremely loudly: "The minister Wang Qiong impeached the university scholars Yang Tinghe, Mao Jiluo, and Peng Bi as traitors, making the cabinet transcendent above the six ministries, and treating Jiuqing as nothing; Zhang Jiuxu, Qi Zhiluan and other officials flattered and sought glory, and were willing to be lackeys, not knowing the public loyalty to the country, and using the power of rumors to frame loyal ministers and act in the same way as the party! ”

Liang Chu and Jiang Mian have been impeached, and Wang Qiong's current spearhead is directly aimed at Yang Tinghe and Mao Ji.

But who in the court doesn't understand the intention?

The term "the party is the same and the same", when the emperor said it before, it was probably just an exaggeration, and he wanted to use "mutual attack" to gently put down this wave of infighting.

But what Wang Qiong is talking about now is "weaving party henchmen and friends as traitors", and Zhang Jiuxu and Qi Zhiluan's behavior was characterized by Wang Qiong as framing loyal ministers, and it was Yang Ting and Luo Zhi's henchmen who were fighting against political enemies in the party.

What will the emperor think when he hears this? Is the emperor afraid that he can have so many henchmen and lackeys?

"You...... You ......" Zhang Jiuxu's face was flushed with anger, and then he had to say, "Your Majesty Mingjian, Wang Qiong's bad deeds are all bad, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Houxi asked Liang Chu with a smile again: "Old Liangge, what do you think?" ”

Prince Liang also simply took off his hat and knelt down: "The ministers are ministers and have nothing to do." Now it is not allowed in the court, and the ministers are old and unbearable, so please let your majesty allow the ministers to retreat to the countryside and save the bones. ”

He didn't say whether he had any crimes, but directly confirmed the accusation of being attacked by the party: he said that he was not allowed to be in the court and could not bear his humiliation.

Wang Qiong has already said that Liu Jin, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin, and even Gu Dayong, Wei Bin, Zhang Yong and others who still exist now, their existence is not unreasonable. At that time, the ministers couldn't help it, what kind of crime was he Wang Qiong befriending others? If you want to check the friendship with the ministers, the fortunate ministers, check the reversal, and check whether there is any money exchange, then dare to investigate to the end?

As for Prince Liang, he is already a dignified minister, if he really wants to talk about it, he is the first assistant, why should he be attached to the power traitor? Hasn't he been a good man for many years, the kind that doesn't seek merit but no fault.

Yan Guan really doesn't understand how difficult it is to do things in a situation where Liu Jin, Qian Ning, Gu Dayong and others are in power? Of course not, it's just that now it's just a matter of using the topic to play. Whoever this dirty water is poured on depends on who is weak.

Zhu Houxi asked Yang Tinghe again: "Elder Yang Ge, what do you want to say about the impeachment of Wang Dehua?" ”

An unbiased posture.

Yang Tinghe has already been accused of forming a party, he can no longer retreat, and said firmly: "Wang Qiong bribed the power and treachery in order to get lucky, a villain's move!" It is the duty of the cabinet to assist the Son of Heaven and participate in the preparation of the aircraft, so how can it be said that the six ministries are transcendent? The six ministries and nine secretaries have clear powers and powers, and the cabinet has never interfered in its affairs! However, Wang Qiong's bad deeds are full of bad deeds, Your Majesty may not know, and the power of the ministers will be listed one or two! ”
