Chapter 687: Interference in Politics

"Huh?" Liu Jin was surprised this time, since the last time Emperor Zhengde was poisoned by Japan, Emperor Zhengde has become a puppet, and was manipulated by Liu Jin with secret methods. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Usually when the secret method is not used, Emperor Zhengde will be stunned, motionless, like a clay statue of the Bodhisattva. As long as the secret method is moved, Liu Jin secretly ordered in his heart, and Emperor Zhengde will act like a marionette and follow Liu Jin's instructions.

Just now, Liu Jin secretly used a secret method to instruct Emperor Zhengde to remove Li Dongyang from all official positions, and then put him in prison to wait for the three law divisions to collect evidence and interrogate.

But unexpectedly, the first half of Emperor Zhengde still followed his intentions, which made him secretly relax his vigilance, but in the second half of the sentence, the words of going to prison and waiting for the three law divisions to collect evidence and interrogate became degraded to a grass people, and then let him leave the Jingshi.

Isn't this the return of the tiger to the mountain? How can Liu Jin be willing to do this? Letting go of a Liu Jian has already given him an extreme headache, and whatever Li Dongyang says, he will try to kill him as much as possible.

It's just that compared to this, what shocked Liu Jin even more was that the controlled Emperor Zhengde suddenly changed his mind at the last moment, and he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart, could it be that this poison will slowly become ineffective after a long time?

Li Dongyang and the ministers in the palace were also shocked, they never thought that Liu Jin set such a big trap, and in the end he just dismissed Li Dongyang and let him leave Beijing.

At that moment, Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment, and then he was extremely grateful, bent down sincerely and saluted, and said to Zhengde above the collapse: "The grass people thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Liu Jin couldn't care about taking the opportunity to put Li Dongyang to death at this moment, but at this moment, he cared more about why Emperor Zhengde was unexpectedly out of control, and for a while, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

And Empress Dowager Zhang didn't want to punish Li Dongyang too much, and she also knew who she really relied on for the stability of the government over the years.

What's more, in her cognition, it was Liu Jin who manipulated Emperor Zhengde and said this, so why should she be more evildoers, so she didn't stop it.

For a while, neither of them said anything, and Li Dongyang took off his crown generously, and looked at Yang Yiqing with a calm face, with the meaning of "I will see you in the future" in his eyes.

Yang Yiqing didn't expect that this pillar of the court of the current dynasty was inexplicably removed from his post on top of his celebration banquet, although he had already understood the reason why Li Dongyang was dismissed, but he still felt strange, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

As for Yang Tinghe on the side, he also blushed and wanted to stand up against it several times, but in the end, he didn't come forward in order to take care of the overall situation.

Seeing that this old colleague who was also a teacher and friend was about to leave the officialdom, Yang Tinghe also had mixed feelings in his heart, and at this moment, he realized that compared to himself, this is the real pillar of the country.

The other important ministers in the main hall are also full of tastes in their hearts. There is a family of Qingliu civil officials, and they can't help but be angry in their hearts, but seeing Li Dongyang's calmness, they also understand the truth.

There are also meritorious military attachés headed by the Duke of Chengguo and the Duke of Britain, but they are all sad for a while. Although the civil and military forces have been light since ancient times, Li Dongyang is a high-spirited person, and has rescued many people from Liu Jin's hands over the years, many of whom are upright generals.

These military generals, who have an upright personality and do not know how to change, have long been grateful to Li Dongyang in their hearts. Seeing that Li Dongyang was leaving the political arena at this time, he was extremely lonely, and many of them gritted their teeth with hatred, eager to pull out their swords now and fight to the death with Liu Jin.

It's just that the military attaché is more respectful and more self-disciplined. Now there are Chengguo Gong and British Gong in the palace, but they can't be presumptuous, they can only use angry eyes to keep patrolling Liu Jin's body, as if they are planning how to kill Liu Jin.

As for those officials who took refuge in Liu Jin, they all secretly cheered. Although a few days ago, when Liu Jin seemed to have lost power, they had camped everywhere and were eager to break off relations with Liu Jin.

But now Liu Jin counterattacked and defeated Li Dongyang, who had not fallen for many years, in one fell swoop. These officials were also very happy, all of them were smiling, and they were all thinking in their hearts, after the imperial banquet was dispersed for a while, how should they find Liu Jin to show their loyalty and return to Liu Jin's command.

For a time, more than 40 people in the main hall had different thoughts. Li Dongyang put away the crown, raised his hands with his colleagues, made a bow, and prepared to leave the hall.

Halfway through, there was a sudden exclamation in the hall: "Xiya Gong go slowly!"

This sound was tantamount to a thunderclap on the ground, and all the people in the hall, including Liu Jin, who was contemplating, and Zhengde, who was a little sluggish, all looked over.

Even Li Dongyang turned his head with some doubts, looked intently, but found that the person who spoke out was Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo.

At that moment, Li Dongyang and the important ministers in the palace were all surprised, and the British Duke and the Cheng Guogong changed their faces, and they looked at each other in some astonishment, I don't know what this Duke of Guo is going to do.

"Xu Guogong, your name is Caomin, but what do you command?" Now Li Dongyang has just been dismissed from all positions by Zhengde Jinkou Yuyan and ordered to leave Beijing within a time limit, so he can only talk to Xu Guangzuo as a civilian.

After Xu Guangzuo said that Xiya Gong had left, he had suddenly stood up from behind those cases, and saw that everyone's eyes were looking, even Li Dongyang was puzzled.

He just smiled lightly, crossed a few cases, came to Li Dongyang's side, grabbed Li Dongyang's hand, and said: "Before the first emperor died, he ordered Liu Jianxi Xiangong, Xie Qianyu Qiaogong, and Li Dongyang Xiyagong to assist the government, which is no different from Tuogu. Now the third duke has gone to the second, and only the Xiya duke is still in the court!

But today, the Queen Mother listened to Liu Jin's words of the eunuch party, and she wanted to directly dismiss the auxiliary ministers left by the first emperor, but it was inevitably a little inappropriate!

What's more, when I founded the country of the Taizu, there was a saying that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and what the Queen Mother did today was only afraid that she would exceed her duties and violate the ancestral teachings!

The minister is brave and asks the Queen Mother and Her Majesty to retract their orders. Even if you want to convict Xiya Gong, please ask the Queen Mother to clarify the crime, instead of being unclear and unclear like now, so that the auxiliary ministers who were left behind by the first emperor will be humiliated, and the first emperor will be humiliated!"

Xu Guangzuo's words not only defended Li Dongyang, but also did not hesitate to accuse Liu Jin of being a eunuch, and even more boldly said the issue of Empress Dowager Zhang's interference in court politics.

And his words are reasonable and well-founded, and he even raised the name of the first emperor to protect Li Dongyang. It can be said that his words are really bold, and in the years that Liu Jin has been in power, no one has ever dared to do so, even Yang Tinghe, who is known for his violence.

It was precisely because of Xu Guangzuo's amazing words that not only Empress Dowager Zhang and Liu Jin were dumbfounded for a while, but the public ministers in the hall, including Li Dongyang, who did not change his face even if he was facing the resignation of his official position and being pushed to the end, were also stunned.

Everyone didn't understand, but where did this Xu Guangzuo get the courage to dare to reprimand Empress Dowager Zhang and Liu Jin in public. For a while, the entire hall could be heard of falling needles, and it was quiet to the limit.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Zhang reacted leisurely, although there was no anger on her face at this time, her voice made everyone feel the idea in her heart that she wanted to order Xu Guangzuo to be forked out.

I only heard her voice say coldly: "Oh? Xu Guogong is talking about mourning the family's politics?"

Hearing Empress Dowager Zhang's question, the important ministers in the hall all held their breath one by one, but Li Dongyang, who was beside Xu Guangzuo, didn't want Xu Guangzuo to take risks for himself, so he immediately pulled the corner of his clothes, shook his head at him, and signaled him not to contradict Empress Dowager Zhang again, and cause trouble in vain.

But Xu Guangzuo just smiled, gave Li Dongyang a reassuring look, and then saluted in the direction of the collapse and said, "Yes, that's what the minister meant!"

"What a gut!" Liu Jin also smiled coldly, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat, and said, "Xu Guangzuo, do you know who is in front of you?"

"I know! Be the queen mother!" Xu Guangzuo smiled and said nonchalantly, "The minister just said that Emperor Taizu once set a rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, even if he is as wise as Queen Ma, he has never had the slightest direct interference in political affairs!"

However, the current queen mother not only interfered in the government affairs, but also wanted to directly remove the auxiliary minister who was the first assistant of the dynasty and the last order of the emperor in front of the Manchu ministers on trumped-up charges.

Although the minister is just an idle lord, he should not be able to intervene in too many political affairs, but the road is uneven, so he has to come out hard! I also asked the secretary of the Manchu Dynasty to comment on my reasoning, saying that what I Xu Guangzuo said was right or wrong!

Liu Jin's trick is just to say that the Empress Dowager Zhang is the respect of the Empress Dowager, and then use the excuse that Xu Guangzuo is disrespectful and disrespectful, and he will be forked out of the mess, not wanting him to continue to make trouble.

But Xu Guangzuo was quite shrewd, saw through Liu Jin's tricks, and took the lead in defining the identity of Empress Dowager Zhang and himself, and then called on the ministers present to come forward and cheer for him.

Those generals were already holding back their anger, they had more or less received Li Dongyang's favor, and they also admired Li Dongyang's personality very much, if it weren't for the British Duke and the Chengguo Duke who didn't speak, I am afraid that they would have drawn their knives and ran out.

Now Xu Guangzuo has come forward, although he is only the Duke of Dingguo, he is not a generation of generals like the Duke of Britain and the Duke of Chengguo, and he is the head of the military.

But after all, not long ago, he commanded the border armies in Ningxia and other places, and together with the Hetao army, he cooperated to defeat the invasion of the Ordos Department and the Hetao rebel army.

This is a rare victory in the imperial court against the Mongolian tribes in recent years, and the military generals are also honored, and they also have some admiration for Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo.
