0414 Self-defense

Emperor Wanli was upset when he heard this! This right to hear is really a good thing, as long as you hold this sign, you can say anything! So after looking at Li Xiupeng fixedly, he leaned back on the dragon chair and said, "In this case, I don't know if Wu Ning Bo is here, are you willing to defend yourself?"

The courtiers all looked at Xungui, but they didn't see Liu Haojia there. At this time, the imperial historian on duty came out and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Ningbo left for the Tianjin fiefdom two days ago, and he is not in Beijing at present! However, his father Gu Ningbo is here, so he can let Gu Ningbo defend himself!"

The courtiers had different expressions when they heard this, and the nobles were especially angry! Because at this time, they also saw that these imperial histories were specially waiting for Liu Haojia to leave before they started! And they know that Father Liu is not good at playing right in the court, and they want to open a breakthrough in him! I can't say that I still want to pull them into the water together!

Liu's father, Liu Runlin, has been standing in the middle of the class, and when he heard the impeachment just now, his head kept "buzzing", and even cold sweat came out! But he also understands that he needs to play now!

The Liu family has been going around at the bottom for so many years, and the opportunity to go to court was after Liu Haojia and Emperor Wanli hooked up online, so Father Liu didn't know anything about government politics at all!

In the past few years, although he has worked hard to make friends with nobles and learn experience, what can be taught at the wine table is really related to the court is trivial things, and the core things need to be understood by himself, and no one will really tell him!

So when Father Liu was pointed on the head, he was simply stunned! But fortunately, he remembered what Liu Haojia taught him: "No matter what, except to drag is to push!" Then contact me right away, and I'll take care of it!"

So after he got out of class, he slowly saluted Emperor Wanli, still thinking of countermeasures. And Emperor Wanli seemed to understand his thoughts, not only let him get up with a pleasant face, but also talked to him bits and pieces about physical topics.

However, when the gossip was always finished, Li Xiupeng and the other two of them finished communicating and directly said, "Please also ask Gu Ningbo to answer some questions from the lower officials!"

Father Liu shook his head and said, "Some time ago, Ben Bo asked for leave from the imperial court, why did you charge my family with such a big crime just after going to court?"

Li Xiupeng said with a steady expression: "Gu Ningbo, this is not the official buttoning the hat! As an imperial historian, this official naturally has the right to correct the words and deeds of hundreds of officials! What the official wants to know now is that now that Gu Ningbo has been on vacation for more than ten days, why is he still stranded in the capital?"

Father Liu laughed and said, "Benbo is the commander-in-chief of the navy, where does he need to report to your Metropolitan Procuratorate? Moreover, when the navy was first established, the location of the office had not yet been determined, so Benbo could only work in the mansion! How's that for you to accept?"

Originally, Father Liu was thinking of coming up with other reasons, but what he didn't expect was that Li Xiupeng said indifferently, "This makes sense."

After speaking, he turned to Emperor Wanli and said, "Your Majesty, the office of the navy should be set up as soon as possible!"

Emperor Wanli subconsciously nodded and said, "Okay, I know!"

When the courtiers heard this, they all knew that the opening scene had passed, and what was going to be said below was his top priority! Therefore, the courtiers who were old in the court and politics all reacted, and they all looked at the two people in the center of the hall with meaningful eyes!

Sure enough, I only heard Li Xiupeng smile and said, "What do you think of your second son crossing the local government mansion and entering the city to arrest people? What do you think of his spoils on the battlefield? There is also self-respect, which is also what he does! The most important thing is that he privately distributes the property of the gentry and officials who have not been convicted, and gives the soldiers double their salaries, which is no small matter!"

Father Liu was a little flustered when he heard this series of questions! Because he knows very well that he is not good at debating. And one of these questions was not well answered, but he was afraid that his son would be in a big disaster, so he couldn't answer it for a while!

At this time, Li Xiupeng said proudly: "Wu Ningbo himself is very smart, and he is very good at exploiting the loopholes of the law! But this time, he changed the military discipline without authorization and issued double the salary to buy people's hearts, which is clearly forbidden by military law! And this military discipline was also set by Emperor Taizu, I don't know what Gu Ningbo has to say?"

Everyone heard the words for a while

I can't think of anything, because since the Ming Dynasty began to recruit troops, the salaries of generals at all levels have been clearly written! Therefore, it is no problem to pay double salaries and buy people's hearts! And the most frightening thing about a martial arts gym is the crime of buying people's hearts! Because this crime is convicted, the next crime is rebellion!

However, Father Liu is also a smart person, otherwise he would not have come up with the idea of renting out Gu Ningbo's Mansion at the beginning. So he bowed his hand to Emperor Wanli and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Ningbo is not in Beijing now, and is now busy with naval affairs in Tianjin. Therefore, it is better for the imperial court to issue an order to recall Wu Ningbo!"

Emperor Wanli, who was originally blue-faced, immediately nodded when he heard this and said, "That makes sense! When I turned around, I ordered him to return to the capital as soon as possible."

At this moment, a person in the crowd suddenly rushed out of the class, grabbed in front of Li Xiupeng and said loudly, "Your Majesty's recall of Liu Haojia is naturally the right intention! But now it is a discussion of whether he is guilty or not, which does not prevent the court from issuing an order. On the contrary, if it is found that he is indeed guilty, the court can directly issue an order to arrest him."

Everyone looked up and found that this young imperial history whose face was hesitant and excited and became a little distorted was the young man who often followed behind Ning Baiqiang! It seems that he has not forgotten the fate of Ning Baiqiang being cut to the people, and now he has finally waited for the time to take revenge on Liu Haojia, so he can't help but jump out!

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Father Liu and said loudly, "Gu Ningbo, you can't shield Wu Ningbo with all kinds of excuses just because he is your second son! You can't cover up this kind of thing, because you are the chief of the navy, and what happens in the navy is naturally inseparable from you!"

When everyone heard this, they all felt that this little guy's heart was not low, and he was ready to paint the father and son in a spoonful! But at this moment, a person from the noble class walked out and said, "Your Majesty, the so-called generals will not be subject to the orders of the foreign army! Moreover, although Gu Ningbo is the chief of the navy, he is recuperating at home due to illness and does not know what is happening in the navy. And the two imperial historians are far-fetched to pull things together, which is really too much! Also, everyone knows that they have always been close to Ning Baiqiang, so the minister feels that their impeachment is simply a deliberate revenge and should be dismissed!"
