Chapter 40: The Storm in the Court (2)
These words obviously aroused the emperor's interest, and he squinted his eyes and said, "It turned out to be a counselor." The three people you are talking about are all pillars of the state, how can they be guilty? If you can't say it clearly, you will be suspected of false accusation, and your teacher will take care of you with his own hands. ”
Dai Wenzhong said: "The minister doesn't dare to say anything. The white tiger is on the side, and there will be changes in the court. The military department Shangshu Wang Ling doesn't know what is going on, and he is guilty!
100,000 troops attacked Yinping, this is a place where soldiers must fight, but there is not a single post or sentry, and the military department is guilty!
The armament of Mianzhu Pass was discarded, and the guards were not in the pass on the day of the battle. His capital crime is inevitable, and he is also guilty of not being able to understand discipline and make good use of candidates!
Jinguancheng Taishou saw the enemy army from afar, that is, Kaesong surrendered, and the left servant shot and used people inappropriately is still guilty!
The people and other people used by it have all been seen by Shangshutai, and the central order has not been investigated in detail, which is dereliction of duty!
These three people deceived their superiors and subordinates, betrayed their official positions, deceived Shengcong, and led to the loss of Shu, which is really an unforgivable crime!"
These words were heard by everyone, and they were really like knives.
Zeng Ziyu nodded secretly, he deserves to be his most capable student, this cannon is a good shot!
Dai Wenzhong is a three-year jinshi of Mingde and calls him a teacher. It is only fitting that this person will fire the first shot.
In Dai Wenzhong, Zeng Ziyu can often see the shadow of his youth. This kid is tough, admitted, and even a little unkind. But he was indeed upright, and everything was fair. Even if it is his classmates, he should participate and never be soft.
After a long time, he got the nickname of "wearing a cannon".
As soon as the news of the capture of Shu came out, Dai Wenzhong immediately ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion and talked a lot to himself.
As for what he said, Zeng Ziyu didn't listen to it, and he didn't have to listen to it. It's nothing more than severely punishing so-and-so, and then how to save the situation. He bet it was not much different from what he had written on the excerpt thirty-one years ago.
After Dai Wenzhong finished speaking, Zeng Ziyu said with a smile: "Wenzhong, I know that you are dedicated to the country. But the teacher is old and useless, and others refuse to listen to what he says. You don't see that they have been suppressed by the royal tombs everywhere in the past six months.
If you have the guts, do you dare to consecrate this fold tomorrow morning and impeach the three of them directly in front of the hundred officials?"
Dai Wenzhong said angrily: "Why don't you dare? I am participating in this gang of traitors!"
Today, as soon as he made a move, it was a killer move. Hit this first shot hard and accurately.
Zeng Ziyu smiled, silently laughing in his heart. They thought this was the end? They were wrong, this was just the beginning, and the next blow would be more violent and deadly.
I only heard the emperor mutter: "These three are all loyal ministers, and there may be dereliction of duty, but if you want to say that the crime of unforgiveness is serious, right?"
"Your Majesty, it's not serious, the lower officials have evidence!" So he analyzed it in detail and detailed the charges of the three people, and there were really a lot of dry goods, and the bureaucrats were in a cold sweat when they heard it.
After listening to this, the emperor thought thoughtfully: "Whether you are guilty or not cannot be based on your words, I also have to listen to the opinions of others." ”
Zeng Ziyu was overjoyed in his heart, the next person is still his, and he has won this game.
But he didn't expect Dai Wenzhong to suddenly say: "No, Your Majesty, the minister hasn't finished talking yet." ”
No one expected him to say this. This is tantamount to confronting the emperor.
Both the Zeng party and the opposition were stunned. Which one is this singing?
Zeng Ziyu's heart sank, and he immediately said: "Dai Wenzhong, you are presumptuous! Didn't you hear the emperor say that he wanted to listen to the opinions of others?"
Without waiting for Wen Zhong to speak, the emperor said: "Elder Zeng, let Dai Yilang talk about it." Young people have to be given some chances. ”
Zeng Ziyu immediately shut up. Because he knows the second rule of the iron law: the emperor likes to watch the ministers fight. This one is the same who touches who dies, and dies faster.
I only heard Dai Wenzhong say proudly: "The White Tiger has entered Shu, and our army has no resistance, this is just an appearance." The three hidden dangers behind our major beam are: the official system, the military system, and the tax system!
Zeng Ziyu was frightened just now, but now he is a little heartbroken. This kid is too much like himself when he was young, and he can throw himself into the fire without hesitation for his ideals. Stupid and heroic.
Dai Wenzhong is dead.
The three systems he proposed were tacitly implemented by the emperor. Many of these unclear pieces of silver crept into the emperor's inner chamber. If you check it, won't it slap the emperor in the face?
In the end, Dai Wenzhong said: "Please ask Your Majesty to repair the political affairs internally, rectify the military affairs externally, and send another general to Shu." Now while the White Tiger is not firmly established, it can be achieved in one fell swoop!"
Silence, frightening silence.
In the main hall, there was only the sound of burning incense in the belly of the bronze beast, and there was no sound other than that.
The emperor's meaning was still unclear, and no one dared to take the lead in expressing his position. They couldn't see it, and the emperor's face had already turned its back to it.
At this time, suddenly in the corner of the hall, a jerky voice came: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book!"
Everyone's eyes brushed over, only to see a short figure. This man was six feet tall and mediocre in appearance, the kind that you can't find if you throw it into a pile. But there is a stubbornness and ruthlessness in his eyes.
Most people don't recognize him, because this person is wearing an eight-rank official uniform, just a small official who has been picked up in front of the palace and has a big fart.
Of course, the emperor didn't recognize it, turned around, scratched his head and said, "You are ......"
"Your Majesty, the minister is a native of Fuso, Ryosuke Sato. His Majesty bestowed the name Zuo Liang. ”
"Oh!" the Emperor remembered. About seven or eight years ago, Dongying came to send a group of Han envoys, and in line with the principle of Huairou Yuanren, he made one of them an official and gave him a name. I thought that after all these years, he should return to China, but I didn't expect this person to still be there.
In recent years, the party has been fiercely contested, but Zuo Liang has not been involved. The reason is that his official is too small, so small that no faction has time to win him over.
The emperor found it amusing, so he said, "Come on!"
Zuo Liang said loudly: "The minister thinks: Dai Wenzhong, misleading the country!"
This time, it was the turn of the opposition party to steal the joy, and for no reason to have such an extra gun, and to see how much trouble he could make.
Of course, the most shocking person was Dai Wenzhong. Not because of opposition—opposition was expected for him. It's because this Ryosuke Sato is almost his only friend.
He couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "Brother Ryosuke, you ......"
Ryosuke stopped him with a sharp look and continued: "Dai Wenzhong is pedantic and ridiculous, Your Majesty uses people appropriately, and the subordinate officials are so impressed that they fall to the ground!"
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Zuo Aiqing, isn't your Chinese language bad?
Ryosuke said, "Your Majesty, I'm not wrong, allow me to explain. Although Dai Wenzhong is pedantic, he is a great loyal minister. He only knows the court, but he doesn't know himself, otherwise he wouldn't risk his death to join these big men today.
But he was blind and knew nothing about reform. It's simply not worth refuting. Therefore, the Holy Lord asked him to serve as a counselor to participate in the disadvantages, but he did not entrust him with real power, which is a great saint!"
