Chapter 071: Dig a pit and set up a stalk, and fight back
"His Royal Highness the Prince, my lords, my Guo family, since the founding of the final Jin Dynasty, full of loyalty, every drop of blood in the bones of the Guo clan is flowing for the final Jin Empire, starting from the first father, fighting for the country for more than 30 years, hundreds of large and small wars, the Guo clan sacrificed their lives for the country, up to more than a dozen people, the six brothers of the first father, all died on the battlefield, this heart is clear, the sun and the moon can be learned."
Guo Wei spoke generously and tragically, with passionate emotions and burning eyes.
"General Guo, you misunderstood, Xia Guan didn't mean that." Chen Qinlian was a little flustered.
He was a jinshi of the Hanlin Academy, and was admitted to the Beijing Division from the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and he knew the art of war, and had a little martial arts, and was later entered by the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War and became a military attaché.
Over the years, he defected to Cao Qichang's party, like a fish in water, and rose to the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, under the jurisdiction of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War, the major ordnance manufacturing bureaus, the national arsenal, and the Military Training Department.
is high and powerful, and a lot of oil and water are also fished.
Unlike other military attachés, his position as the left attendant of the military department did not rely on military merits, but nepotism, and he was promoted by his opportunistic and meritorious work for the Cao Mansion.
It can be seen that the prestige in the army, compared with Guo's imperial military god, is like an ant and an elephant.
"Chen Qinlian, don't you want to deny it, the words you just said are still in your ears, everyone can hear them clearly, Your Majesty closed the military hall because he was afraid that the military power would be too concentrated in the Guo family, and he still didn't understand the meaning?"
Of course, Guo Wei held on and pursued the victory.
I saw him take a step forward, knelt down on one knee, and a military kneeling salute to the crown prince, and said solemnly:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Chen Qinlian opened his mouth and slandered the Guo family for being loyal and martyred, deliberately insulting the honor of the military god, please ask His Royal Highness to be the master of the ministers and correct the name of the Guo family and the military god."
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please correct the name of the Su family!"
“……”
In the court, more than 20 military attaches in Guo Wei's camp all knelt down to request.
This posture has become a climate.
The lofty Yuan Zhi, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a subtle smile.
His eyes swept sharply towards Cao Qichang, Yang Du and others, and what came into his eyes were old faces as black as the bottom of a pot.
The so-called court game, an important means, is to constantly dig pits and set up stalks, attracting opponents to expose flaws.
Chen Qinlian, a stupid donkey, was the first to fall into the pit.
He tried to find a breakthrough from the position of the secretary of the military department and embarrassed the prince.
Unexpectedly, it also attracted the assistance of Yang Du, a high-level pig teammate.
Yuan Zhi had an idea, counterattacked, and threw out the trump card of the military hall, Da Sima, and beat the traitorous party group unexpectedly.
Next, Chen Qinlian made a mistake in a panic, and told the truth about the closure of the military hall by the imperial court that year.
This kind of thing, people with a little bit of brains understand, they can only imagine it, tacit it, and never say it, let alone make noise in the court.
"Everyone, I have heard my father say that the Guo family is full of loyalty and martyrs, and it has never lived up to the trust of the society, and it is the soul of the military god."
Yuan Zhi said this paragraph slowly, intending to emphasize that the current emperor has a very high evaluation of the Guo family, and has never been afraid of the concentration of military power in the Guo family.
In fact, it is to correct the name of the Guo family.
Then, Yuan Zhi's expression froze, his eyes looked at Chen Qinlian sharply, and he said sharply:
"Chen Qinlian, I came to ask you, which eye did you have seen His Majesty's edict to close the military hall?"
"I haven't seen it." Chen Qinlian whispered.
"Which ear are you, have you heard the emperor say that the power of the military hall is too centralized?"
"No... I haven't heard of it. ”
Chen Qinlian already felt that a catastrophe was coming, he was covered in cold sweat, his knees were weak, and he fell to his knees.
"Chen Qinlian, you have vainly speculated about the holy will, wantonly provoked the relationship between the monarch and the minister, slandered the imperial military god in court, and his Guo family, misconduct and ill intentions, it is really heinous! Someone came, pushed this scum out of the noon gate and beheaded him, confiscated his family, and all the clansmen were reduced to commoners, expelled from Kyoto, and never returned. ”
Before the prince finished speaking, Chen Qinlian's face was already pale and trembling.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please forgive the ministers, be gracious... Lord Cao, Lord Yang, help..."
When he got to the back, Chen Qinlian knelt down and kowtowed, begging people to spare his life, full of ugliness, where is there still the style of a scholar and the integrity of a scholar.
Yang Du frowned slightly, glanced at Cao Qichang, hesitated and said:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Chen Qinlian is open-mouthed, and he is indeed guilty, but even if he commits a crime, he should be handed over to the three divisions for trial and sentenced according to the law, which is in line with the laws of the court, please think twice."
"It is really disrespectful to speculate on the holy will and talk nonsense, and it is not enough to be righteous if you don't kill, and the lonely son of heaven is in charge of the country, how can you be extrajudicial and gracious? If Yang is dissatisfied with Lonely's order, he can sue the Emperor, but it does not prevent Lone from cutting first and then playing. ”
When the prince went to sue the royal court, this was self-defeating, and he didn't dare to borrow Yang Du's ten guts.
I saw Yang Du's face tightened, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Minister... Can't. ”
Yuan Zhi grinned and sneered, and waved his big hand, "Come on, take the criminal Chen Qinlian down and execute it!" ”
"Yes."
Ding Jiu gave his hand to take the order, and two Qianniuwei had already stepped forward, set up Chen Qinlian, who was paralyzed into mud, and dragged him out of the Xuanzheng Palace.
The sky above the Xuanzheng Hall was filled with a tense atmosphere, extremely depressing, and the entire hall was silent, only the screams that gradually faded away, and the gasps of hundreds of people.
Yuan Zhi suddenly stretched his stiff limbs, his face was like a spring breeze, and he said:
"The ministers listened to the order, from now on, the imperial court will restore the military hall organization, and Gu appointed Guo Wei as the great Sima of the empire, and govern all the armies in my final Jin empire, including the twelve guards such as the palace guards, military training, ordnance arsenal, etc., and the imperial court edict will be promulgated after the emperor asks his father to be played, and the edict will be promulgated to the world."
Guo Wei took the lead and knelt down to thank him:
"Minister's decree, His Royal Highness Prince Xie."
"The ministers obey."
“……”
The military attaches of Guo Wei's camp all happily knelt down in support.
Thinking about it, I was also excited, I thought that Guo Wei was just taking over as the secretary of the military department, but I didn't expect that after a war of words, General Guo inexplicably became the commander of the army, the big Sima, and also restored the military hall.
Among these generals, many of them originally served in the military hall.
In the years since the military hall was closed, they were at home with false titles.
Now it's different, the son of the god of war is back, and their chance to make a big difference is here.
"The old minister obeys."
Cao Qichang's long beard shook, and he knelt down and bowed expressionlessly.
For the first time in more than ten years, he was frustrated in front of all the ministers at the court gathering, and he lost at the hands of the young prince.
This made him lose face and his mentality was a little unbalanced.
Cao Qichang, the prime minister of the cabinet, knelt on the ground, Yang Du followed, and knelt down like dominoes.
Above the hall, including the eunuchs and guards, all knelt down.
Do you think, the crown prince supervises the country on behalf of the emperor, and everything inherits the holy will, so the decree is like a holy decree, who dares not kneel?
