Chen Kuan spoke calmly, although he was inclined to the side of the civil officials in his heart, he had to keep the same pace with the emperor on major issues of right and wrong.

In addition, what he said, how to deal with Xie Qian, in the ears of Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others, there was some condescending and impersonal meaning.

"Isn't it too hasty to convict the cabinet scholars of the above listening places alone, and the two recitals related to Tingju in the Yanwutang?" Li Dongyang argued on the basis of reason, "Shouldn't we wait for the next year to discuss again, and then argue with the upper court, and give Xie Qian some chance to defend himself?" ”

Chen Kuan smiled and waved his hand: "Elder Li Ge, what you mean, our family understands, and I believe Your Majesty also understands." Even if you are unwilling, don't you think that the best ending is already in front of you? If you have to make trouble again, I'm afraid it's ...... Alas! ”

I'm embarrassed to say that making such a fuss like you today seems to be fighting for Xie Qian, but it's closer to roasting Xie Qian on the fire.

In the end, the result was that Zhang Zhou was not pulled down, and then you were trapped in it, and by the way, Xie Qian was directly killed.

"That's it." Chen Kuan saw that Li Dongyang and Liu Jian didn't want to answer him, so he saluted very politely, "Today is a day when everything is peaceful, and I hope that a few people will not make some bad things, after all, the government and the opposition are in harmony, and sometimes ...... We really hope that if it's all the same as before, it will be good. But at this time, the situation will change, people's hearts will change, and His Majesty's expectations for the future of the Ming Dynasty will also change. ”

Li Dongyang's eyes also fell on Liu Jianjian, probably asking Liu Jian, is today's matter over?

Zhang Zhou can't be expected to take the initiative to make mistakes, this time can be regarded as their initiative in adversity, although they failed, they can learn lessons.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang left the palace gate on foot, and there was an official sedan chair there, so they didn't want to take it.

Probably...... I'm not in your eyes, so you don't believe me.

Chen Kuan would not worry too much about Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others, and before he left, he politely went over to greet a few people, and the officials of the DPRK and China also went to salute him.

Liu Jian continued to have a gloomy face.

After Liu Jian also hesitated, he looked at the direction of the palace gate, and instantly felt a great sense of frustration, and finally shook his head and said, "Just think it's for Yu Qiao's ......."

That's what it means.

Li Dongyang said: "This incident will make people feel disheartened, and something must be done." But I don't know if Zhang Bingkuan will come back immediately after the year, otherwise, some things can still be done. ”

Yang Jiefu, that is, Yang Tinghe.

It's more about the emperor's trust in Zhang Zhou, Zhang Zhou is just doing things again and again, but he doesn't say that he does so many things to control the court situation and not give others a way to live, which is still different from ordinary ministers.

Li Dongyang said: "If you want to withdraw, will they give me face, or will they give me face for my official position?" ”

Li Dongyang said: "I hope so." ”

This is to remind Li Dongyang to avoid his edge for the time being, cultivate his own people first, and then use some external forces to "kill" Zhang Zhou.

No matter what mistakes people make, it is also the Confucian family.

Li Zhaoxian's face was somewhat embarrassed.

Some yamen, such as Honglu Temple, were not even present.

And Shen Lu, the general political envoy who was best at engaging in diplomatic friendship on such festivals, did not appear today.

Li Dongyang sighed: "Today's incident is meant to make the final struggle, and this time it has damaged the morale of the people in the DPRK, and it should not be so laissez-faire." ”

Liu Jian said: "In the meaning of Gonggong Chen, the Ming Dynasty was defective in the past? ”

Do you want to hold on to my last words and question me for being against you?

Whose purpose is it to come to the palace to eat a feast today? If this is really the goal, so many ministers of the DPRK and China will not come to us if they can come or not.

Cheng Minzheng walked over and said, "Lin Butang, don't you really think that this palace banquet is so easy to eat?" With the number of courtesies, the next step is probably that there is no way back, and sometimes you should accept it when you see it. How do you think? ”

Originally, the civil officials advanced and retreated together to fight the emperor to the death, but now no one listens to him.

Ma Wensheng said: "In this case, then I should go back earlier today." Recently, the yamen should have left the people on duty, and if there is anything to do, they can deal with it earlier. Scattered, scattered! ”

It is said that there is a banquet today, but in fact, it is no different from the eviction order.

"Besides, even if it were until he made a mistake, how long would it be? Since ancient times, the powerful ministers have never stood still, or there are those who have treacherous and misled the country, will they be resolved and eradicated with a little suspicion? There is no external force, and I am afraid that this matter is waiting in the air. ”

I gently remind you that you must act at the opportunistic point and have a good relationship with the emperor, why can't you listen to it?

"Hmm." Li Dongyang nodded and said, "I have seen it, and when asked about the affairs in the court and the opposition, he still has a very unique opinion, among so many people in Hanyuan, he and Wang Jizhi are the strongest in ability, and Wang Jizhi will enter the cabinet sooner or later, if Yang Jiefu enters the cabinet, I am afraid that some people will not be convinced." After all, there are still a few people, and their qualifications are above their husbands. ”

"Have you been to see Jie Fu lately?" Liu Jian asked suddenly.

divorced his daughter from Kong Wenshao, the son of the Kong family, and it seemed that his family took advantage of it, after all, it was canceled by the emperor.

Liu Jian still didn't answer.

……

"So to speak...... I'm not right. Li Dongyang actually wanted to correct Liu Jian.

His hand was still clenched in his arms for the unbeaten joint recital, and he sighed helplessly.

Li Dongyang seemed to ask knowingly.

But judging from the sight of the world's scholars, Li Dongyang still failed the Kong family in this matter...... People originally wanted to gain the status of the DPRK and China by marrying you Li Dongyang, but you disliked others at the beginning, and finally canceled the marriage, isn't this a clear disdain that you don't take the Kong family seriously?

Kong Jia...... That's the Kong family...... A model for scholars in all dynasties.

This annoyed Li Dongyang.

"Didn't you say there was a feast?" Lin Han walked over with a smile and said, "It's rare to come here today, so you shouldn't be in a hurry." ”

But Liu Jian saw this posture and knew that he couldn't continue today.

"If this is still the case in the coming year, I'm afraid that it won't be long before there will be people close to Zhang Bingkuan from the officials to the yamen in the court, and then Zhang Bingkuan alone can do the right and left courts, and now he still has some concerns, but at that time, who will match him in the court?" Li Dongyang continued to express his opinions.

Liu Jian said: "Binzhi, don't you think that what you and I can't do, maybe others can do it?" ”

Ma Wensheng sighed: "Speaking of which, it's just that there are few people in the six departments, why are there so many people in the six departments who haven't arrived today?" ”

Liu Jian seems to have a long-term vision, at least to Li Dongyang's ears.

"Once a year ago." Li Zhao thought for a while and replied, "But my father has said it first, and he has to draw a line with the Kong family recently, after all, the little sister no longer has anything to do with them, and this matter still has to be avoided." But father, my little sister's marriage has been delayed, don't you pay attention? ”

In history, the reason why Yang Tinghe was able to rise and become a generation of powerful ministers was also from the perspective of inheritance, and he was selected as the successor by people from Li Dongyang's faction.

In the eyes of the emperor, the people who stayed for the banquet were not good people, but those who were disbanded on the spot were really good courtiers.

"It's over." Although Liu Jian was very reluctant, he still reluctantly said, "Since before today's palace gate, so many people should know that this will be the result." Your Majesty did not close your eyes and listen, but was very clear about our intentions, which is also a good thing, which at least shows that if Zhang Bingkuan is doing something that harms the country and the people, His Majesty will immediately realize it and respond to it. ”

When it comes to traditional civil servants, the emperor knows it as soon as possible, and he can also respond in time.

After Chen Kuan left, the people on the scene also began to leave piecemeal, and some people came to make a final greeting to Liu Jian before leaving, probably waiting for Liu Jian to keep them, if Liu Jian said that he would stick to it today, probably the people who came were also ready to advance and retreat with Liu Jian.

"Yu Qiao was sent out as an official, where do you guess he will go?"

Liu Jian said: "The people in the DPRK and China are scattered, which is related to our inaction, from the beginning of Zhang Bingkuan's entry into the court, all we can think about is that he and Li Guang and others check and balance, and when he really becomes another Li Guang, we can only count on the next person who can check and balance him, and if this continues, I am afraid that there will always be powerful ministers in the government and the opposition." ”

This time made Liu Jiancang a lot older, his mentality also changed, he was a little staggered when he walked, and even his steps seemed so weak.

……

……

You are the one who prepared it, and you are the one who let you leave, and now you blame me?

They're not here to visit me, so what am I doing here to give you heat?

Just when Li Zhaoxian was silent and was about to bow and leave, Li Dongyang said, "Have you been here recently?" ”

"We don't mean that." Chen Kuan was also a little embarrassed.

"Let's go back." Liu Jian said, "In the past few days, don't go anywhere, don't see anyone." It's time to sort out your thoughts, and in the next year or two, our road will become more and more rugged and difficult. ”

Li Dongyang said: "Most of them didn't arrive. ”

Liu Jian said: "Do you think when Zhang Bingkuan will have this kind of mistake?" ”

Li Dongyang frowned and said, "This is ...... Why? ”

Although it is debatable to say that Zhang Zhou is a traitor, from our standpoint, we should classify him as such.

Li Dongyang asked, "What about Yu Qiao......

In the eyes of these old ministers, the mainstay of the court and the hope of the future must be those who dare to give direct advice, that is, the people in the six departments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but today it seems that they are all agreed, and they don't even have a reason to come.

But about Zhang Zhou, does anyone dare to tell the emperor that he doesn't know, even if he does, the emperor will guard against Zhang Zhou like he should deal with Wenchen?

He was embarrassed to say that the emperor's observation of court affairs was partial.

"Alas!" Liu Jian sighed, "From today's events, I suddenly understood that if we people are alone, I am afraid that in the future, we will only be led by the nose by some people in the court, and Your Majesty will not listen to persuasion." ”

Originally, Ma Wensheng was not as stubborn as Liu Jian in this matter, and it was only appropriate for him to launch it as a secretary of the ministry, and then for him to dismiss people as a secretary of the ministry.

"Withdrawn!" Li Dongyang said unceremoniously to Li Zhaoxian.

Li Dongyang said: "Didn't you say that as long as Zhang Bingkuan makes a mistake, as long as there is a dislike between him and His Majesty, everything will fall into place?" ”

……

Just say that the emperor is saluting first and then soldiering.

Li Zhaoxian said: "Recently, my son has been thinking of going out to Beijing to practice, and my father does not agree. ”

When he heard Liu Jian's ears, he felt a little harsh.

……

But if you want to classify Zhang Zhou as a powerful minister, where is his power?

But I saw that my son and daughter were arranging a celebration for the family, and there was a festival banquet at home that day, and many of Li Dongyang's protégés and former officials would come to visit.

"Huh." Ma Wensheng smiled bitterly.

But on the contrary, I am close to or even the same as you.

Do the inheritance well.

Liu Jian said: "The previous Jiefu returned to his hometown for three years, and there was no direct conflict with Zhang Bingkuan, among so many people in the court, I think that he can best show the integrity of Wenchen, since it is impossible to shake His Majesty's blind faith in Zhang Bingkuan from the front, we should do something that should be done." ”

"This ......"

But the problem is that he doesn't have a good plan of his own.

Li Dongyang was also emotionally affected by Liu Jian, and returned home with a little depression.

Liu Jian didn't answer, as if this was not his concern at all.

Li Zhaoxian was a little surprised: "Father, many people have already submitted the post, saying that they will come today, and you are ......."

It's not that he doesn't want to evaluate, but he's tired, and today's events hit him too hard.

Li Dongyang couldn't answer.

"It's none of your business." Li Dongyang just asked the Kong family, but he didn't expect his son to talk about Li Yu's marriage.

If the ministers are so easy to deal with, it will not be a situation where every time there is a traitorous minister who covers the sky with one hand, the government and the opposition have no way to deal with it.

……

"The child is still ......young," Li Dongyang said.

Of course, Liu Jian knew that this person's heart was disheartened, and the team was even more difficult to lead.

"What do you think you need to do?"

Li Dongyang said: "If today's people come neatly, even if it is the intention of His Majesty, and Chen Kuan personally comes forward, we will not be afraid, but under the circumstances at that time, we have to choose to avoid it." This is not only for the future, but also for the immediate protection of those who should be protected, from Yu Qiao, to the official who spoke in the court, His Majesty sent these people to prison, in fact, he was knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. ”

Liu Jian is also very optimistic about Yang Tinghe.

Speaking of this, Li Dongyang's mood eased a little, after all, Li Zhaoxian has a son, he has only been born for a few months, and he is still a son, and he Li Dongyang can be regarded as a queen.

But because of this, he felt that his son should give him more grandchildren, so he was relieved to let his son go out.

"Don't go anywhere, wait for the father to arrange your future." Li Dongyang said, "Only when you start a family can you look like a man!" (End of chapter)
