But Liu Haojia still asked, "Master Li, what are you talking about when the military discipline was?"
The courtiers let out a low laugh when they heard this, and it seemed that some people seemed to be very willing to see Li Xiupeng deflated! And Li Xiupeng was even more annoyed when he heard the laughter, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Why do you have to pretend to be crazy and stupid here, of course it is the military discipline of the Ming Water Division!"
Liu Haojia laughed and said, "Master Li, it seems that you are still literate and know that it is the military discipline of the Daming Sailor! The official asked you, when His Majesty ordered the establishment of the navy, he made it clear that all the navy was separated from the original naval division and established a separate army, which was different from the original naval division in terms of strategy and responsibility, and it was simply a new branch of the army! But now that you're applying the military discipline of the sailors to the navy, I really can't figure out if you're illiterate, or if you're literate, and you don't know what these words mean when they are combined?"
When the courtiers heard this, many people immediately burst out laughing, and even many people in the civil service lowered their heads and laughed! Especially the nobles not only laughed, but also people kept making ridicule, sarcastically saying that these imperial histories are all wastes who can only eat dry food and can't work!
However, most civil officials still know one thing very well, that is, Liu Haojia escaped again this time! Because what he said was theoretically impeccable! From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, the navy is indeed a new army that has never been seen before!
Moreover, in the excerpt of the establishment of the navy, Liu Haojia explained in detail how the navy was established, what responsibilities it undertook, and the direction of future development, which is completely different from the original muddy sailors! Therefore, if he sets a new standard of salary for a brand-new branch of the military, it is completely justified from a legal point of view!
At this time, Liu Haojia simply chased after him, and said to Li Xiupeng, whose face was flushed, "Lord Li, it seems that you don't understand the will of the imperial court at all, or you just pretend to be confused! If you don't understand, it can only mean one thing, you are a corpse vegetarian, and you will only point fingers at others, and pick bones in eggs! If not, you put a big hat on this official here, I'm afraid this real person with evil intentions is you, right?"
Li Xiupeng said angrily, "You are talking nonsense! This official is dedicated to the court, where is there any ill-intentioned intentions!"
Liu Haojia raised his hand and pointed at the indignant Li Xiupeng and said, "This official sees that you are ill-intentioned! The reason for this is so simple, you can find out hundreds of thousands of miles away from the navy's subordinates, but you actually ignore the navy's failure to receive any money for seven or eight months, and then you are here to impeach me unashamedly! Let's talk about it, Master Li, are you joining forces with those ink-greedy people to frame your own officials?"
Liu Haojia's words immediately made the hall quiet, and then someone inside Xungui said loudly, "That's right! These Yushi eat people on weekdays and don't do anything, so they must have joined forces with those ink-greedy people to frame Wu Ningbo! Otherwise, he can't just leave one thing alone and focus on another!"
As soon as these words came out, the nobles immediately clamored loudly, and asked Emperor Wanli to investigate Li Xiupeng's responsibility and the responsibility of the Inspectorate! And the inspectorate and civil officials were naturally not to be outdone, and stepped forward to refute one after another, but left the colorless Li Xiupeng aside, as if he had become a passerby!
But for the first time, their rebuttal became so weak! Because the nobles recognized one thing, is it important to give the soldiers more money, or is it important to let the soldiers mutiny and erose Jiangnan? And Li Xiupeng doesn't care about the fact that the soldiers will mutiny when they starve, but Commander Wang splashes dirty water on him, does he want to use this to force the navy soldiers?
After they quarreled for a long time, Emperor Wanli signaled to the imperial historian on duty to let everyone quiet down. After everyone returned to work, Emperor Wanli leaned forward, stared at Li Xiupeng on the imperial case and said, "Li Yushi, I am also very curious, what is the reason why you let tens of thousands of soldiers not pay salaries, but stare at the commander of the first army? Do you really want to force Wu Ningbo to rebel?"
The courtiers' faces changed greatly when they heard this, because Emperor Wanli's words can be said to be heart-wrenching! And Li Xiufeng was even more frightened at this time, and fell to his knees with a puff and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged! The minister really doesn't know that the navy hasn't paid the money for months!"
Li Xiupeng finished speaking
, and looked around for help. But all who saw his gaze bowed their heads! Because everyone knows that Li Xiupeng is not saved! ap.
At the same time, Emperor Wanli glanced up at Zhang Juzheng, who was not moving, and saw that he had no objection, and knew that he had probably given up Li Xiupeng. So he said slowly, "Then I came to ask you, you can know about the double salary of the navy thousands of miles away, but right under your nose, you don't know about the fact that the military department has not allocated the silver, how can I believe what you say?"
At this time, Li Xiupeng couldn't say anything, only kowtowed! Emperor Wanli saw his pitiful appearance, and a feeling of disgust rose in his heart! Why are there so few officials like Liu Haojia among the courtiers? It's all waste that only finds faults and has low eyes!
Thinking of this, he waved his hand directly and said, "Zhang Jia, put him in prison, and wait for Dali Temple to take out the results of the investigation of the household department and the military department."
When Zhang Jia heard this, he shook off the dust, and immediately two people came up to pick up Li Xiupeng and dragged him out of the main hall. Liu Shouyou, who was standing in the class, opened his mouth to say something but didn't dare to say anything, so he could only stand there dejectedly. And the imperial historians of the other inspectors were like defeated roosters, and they didn't dare to say a word in frustration, for fear that Emperor Wanli would take his anger out on them!
Seeing that they were honest, Emperor Wanli felt relieved, so he didn't care about their thoughts, and said directly to Liu Haojia: "Liu Aiqing, this time Li Xiupeng has passed the matter of impeaching you, but is there anything else to say?"
Liu Haojia said with a serious expression, "The minister does have something to say."
Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "Say, I listen to that!"
Hearing this, Liu Haojia stood up straight and said loudly, "When the navy was established, the minister had already written the importance of the navy more clearly! But many of the adults here may not believe it! But this is not difficult to understand, after all, things that cannot be seen are always hard to believe, so there are people like Li Xiupeng who take the opportunity to make trouble and affect the development of the navy! However, for the sake of the normal development of the navy in the future, I implore Your Majesty to change the name of the navy to the Royal Navy, and in the future, it will only be under the command of the royal family, and will not be controlled by others! The status is equivalent to that of the Jinyi Guard!"
