Chapter 59 Rectification of the Dynasty
In the history of the Wu Dynasty, the most taboo thing was to reform without authorization, especially on major matters related to the national Zuo Society.
The Wu Dynasty is now a mess, the dynasty is chaotic, and the people are miserable.
Not all of the hundred officials were loyal to Liu Zhongqing, but because of the huge influence and authority of the Liu family, they had to succumb to Liu Zhongqing.
This time, Li Yunxing presided over the early dynasty, in order to rectify the dynasty!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister thinks that Lang Zhongling is not to deny General Lian's achievements, but just a matter of collaborating with the enemy, not a child's play. If the crown prince wants to rehabilitate General Lian, he can wait until His Majesty Emperor Wu is sober, and then issue another holy decree to announce it to the world. ”
Liu Zhongqing still did not give up and advised the prince not to be too hasty.
Li Yunxing frowned, and his eyes were deep.
"Emperor Wu is unconscious now, if the matters of the Wu Dynasty have to wait for His Majesty the Emperor Wu to decide, then what's the use of raising you waste?"
"This palace is the prince of the prison country, and he should obey the mandate of heaven, inherit the holy virtue of Emperor Wu, and decide the affairs of the Wu Dynasty."
"Today, this palace will personally issue an order to rehabilitate General Lian."
"If you don't accept anyone, just stand up!"
The prince's domineering words immediately shocked most people.
Even if a small number of people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to disobey the prince's will.
Liu Zhongqing glanced at the prince deeply, and suddenly said, "His Royal Highness the prince has to think about it carefully." Emperor Wu was unconscious, and now it is the autumn harvest season, and the granaries of the counties and counties are short of grain, and they need to allocate grain to help the victims. If the prince was at this time, he rashly issued an order to overturn the case for General Lian. Those hungry people who are screaming and screaming are bound to make trouble. ”
"At that time, if it is because of the wrong decree of the prince that the people riot, it will not become an infamy through the ages. Has the crown prince ever thought about how to explain to Emperor Wu when His Majesty is getting better? ”
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disregards the society for his own selfish interests, it will be a great rebellion!"
Liu Zhongqing was meticulous in every word, and his remarks nailed Li Yunxing to the pillar of shame of the great rebellion.
Li Yunxing snorted coldly, "General Lian Zhan is loyal and patriotic, and has made great achievements for our Wu Dynasty, but he was framed by traitors, even if he suffered such unfair treatment, he has never betrayed the country and collaborated with the enemy. He sacrificed everything for the country and His Majesty, but in exchange for the slander and slander of you and others! ”
The more Li Yunxing spoke, the higher his tone became.
"The Wu Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma since ancient times. General Lian Zhan is loyal and patriotic, but he was framed and framed by traitors, what is wrong with him! Do heroes who sacrifice their lives for the country deserve to be wronged and splashed with dirty water?! ”
"Without General Lian, can you weak scholars who are powerless still be able to make a big splash in this hall?!"
After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Everyone was silent, and even the sound of breathing became very clear.
Li Yunxing's body was straight, his eyes were bright, and he exuded a scorching light.
The aura of the king in all directions made the civil officials present bow their heads in shame.
"Besides, Lord Liu, this palace dares to ask what is selfish interests?"
"Naturally, it refers to the personal selfishness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince's face was solemn, and he said in a stern tone: "Then dare to ask what is the relationship between Su Tianyang and Liu Zaifu?" ”
This is a topic that the ministers never dare to mention, and everyone acquiesces that Su Tianyang's presumptuousness has a great relationship with Liu Zhongqing.
Liu Zhongqing's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Although this person is my nephew, he also went through many assessments before he became an official. As the old saying goes, the virtuous do not avoid relatives, if you can't treat every virtuous minister fairly, wouldn't it chill people's hearts? ”
The prince snorted coldly and said, "Liu Jaefu will really excuse himself. ”
"Su Tianyang and you are also blood relatives, he is making a lot of money in Jingzhou, but you don't know that this is negligent discipline!"
"Furthermore, regardless of the blood relationship between Su Tianyang and you. As the chief assistant of the court, Lord Liu has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials and upholding the law. And Su Tianyang looted such a huge amount of people's fat and ointment in Jingzhou, but Liu Zaifu never reported it to the imperial court, this is your dereliction of duty! ”
"They all stood above the court, and under torture to extract confessions, Su Tianyang still refused to say anything. Isn't it because you have a good uncle behind you? ”
"Yoo Jae-fu wants to clear up the relationship at this time, but it's a little late."
This is said very harshly.
Liu Zhongqing's face became more and more ugly, and he glared at the prince angrily, and said, "The prince should not be untrustworthy!" ”
When everyone heard what the prince said, they were all shocked.
Liu Zhongqing's power and status in the Wu Dynasty are absolutely not daring to be evaluated.
Even the emperor used to avoid his edge repeatedly, and never easily confronted Liu Zhongqing.
But the scene in front of him made everyone realize that the prince had grown up.
At least the current crown prince is not afraid of Liu Zhongqing's threat.
With a smile on his face, the prince slowly walked up to the imperial platform.
In front of everyone's eyes, overlooking the civil and military officials under the steps, he said indifferently: "Since this palace sits in this position, it is natural to be a Ming Jun." Like what...... For the Wu Dynasty to purge the dynasty. ”
Liu Zhongqing's face was pale, and he said with pity: "Purging the Dynasty? I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to clean up the dynasty? ”
The crown prince glanced at him, "Liu Zaifu doesn't have to be angry with this palace, this palace has no intention of being your enemy." The purge is not aimed at you alone, but at everyone here. ”
"If you can't be used by the Wu Dynasty, it's useless to keep you."
This sentence fell into the ears of everyone, causing countless ministers to change their faces.
No one expected that in just a few days, the prince would make such a change.
The prince's methods were resolute, decisive and crisp, without dragging the mud and water at all, and directly put the contradiction on the surface.
"If you want to continue to be an official in the court and keep your black hat, you must reflect your value."
Li Yunxing's expression was still the same, but every word was like a thousand pounds, pressing on everyone's chests.
The ministers looked at Li Yunxing's eyes and dodged, for fear that they would be the next to die.
Immediately, Li Yunxing waved his robe, turned around and climbed onto the royal platform, and said loudly: "Jinxi, give an edict!" ”
Jin Xi sighed, and took a bright yellow scroll from the wooden plate beside him.
The materials of the holy decree are very exquisite, all of them are silk brocade fabrics made of fine silk, and the patterns are mostly auspicious clouds and cranes, which are magnificent. At both ends of the decree are silver dragons flying as security symbols.
The crown prince actually wanted to issue a holy decree, which was a precedent that had never been seen in the opening of the dynasty.
Qi Ming wanted to say something, but Liu Zhongqing stopped him.
"Lord Liu, do you want the prince to be so nonsense?" Qi Ming asked in a low voice.
