After listening to Yan Qi's explanation, Yang Ke finally gained the upper hand. He pointed arrogantly at Zhang Yongwu and said, "I obviously had good intentions, but you beat me down and turned me into a donkey. How embarrassing is this for me."
"Zhang Yongwu, do you think that because you have made great achievements, you can do whatever you want? You can sit on my head and shit? Let me tell you, I am not someone to be bullied."
Plop!
Yang Ke knelt in front of the old emperor, his face full of grievance and his voice trembling: "Your Majesty, I have been slandered by Zhang Yongwu, and I feel extremely unfair. I cannot bear such humiliation. I ask the Emperor to seek justice."
When the old emperor saw this, his face was serious.
In my heart, I was extremely happy.
Hehe, Yan Qi is still awesome.
A set of combination punches successfully created a harmonious relationship between Zhang Yongwu and Yang Ke.
Yan Qi also came out with a distressed expression: "Prime Minister Yang is the head of hundreds of officials and has an extraordinary status, but he is criticized by General Zhang. Who can bear it?"
"Our civil service system is already weak, but now, even Prime Minister Yang is being harshly criticized by the military. If things go on like this, will our civil service system still have dignity? We might as well abdicate and let General Zhang shoulder the responsibility of the civil and military service."
This can be regarded as 'fanning the flames'.
Every little thing is magnified.
Even, take it under a microscope and magnify it ten thousand times.
With Yan Qi's encouragement, Wan Liang, Zhao Qing, Qi Ying and others all jumped out to speak out.
"What Deputy Prime Minister Yan said is absolutely right. It expresses our feelings. The laws of our Ministry of Rites are only the lowest level of morality, but etiquette is above morality and has a higher level! General Zhang's approach is inconsistent with etiquette and law. No. How can we condone such a behavior?"
"Especially me, Tobe Wanliang, am even more worried about the military. When the military asked me for military expenses, I was very confident. If I gave too much, I would be accused of corruption. If I gave too little, I would be accused of corruption. Fang scolded my mother. I am not a human being inside or outside, please your Majesty to seek justice."
Qi Ying's excited voice trembled: "I ask the emperor to investigate and deal with it strictly. Although I am just the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, I am willing to take on the task of trying the case. Even if I risk my life, I must change this unhealthy trend in the court."
…
When these three ministers came out to speak, they were not only full of momentum, but also had the tendency of everyone adding firewood to the flames. They also made Tang Hanxiao, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and Liao Zhan, the minister of the Ministry of war, at a loss. They didn't know what to do.
Yan Qi looked at Tang Hanxiao and Liao Zhan: "Two ministers, what is your attitude? Do you support General Zhang or Prime Minister Yang?"
"Hey, this..."
Tang Hanxiao had a fake smile on his face, feeling embarrassed in his heart.
He is known as the smiling tiger.
Never offend anyone.
Very popular.
Although he belongs to Yang Ke, he has a very harmonious relationship with Zhang Yongwu.
In private, there are frequent contacts.
But now, he was in a dilemma.
Originally, he wanted to protect himself wisely and not say a word so that neither party would be offended.
However, Yan Qi's wink made Zhao Qing, Qi Ying, and Wan Liang express their attitude.
Now, Tang Hanxiao wanted to avoid it, but it was impossible.
In principle, he belongs to Yang Ke, so of course he must favor Yang Ke.
However, in private, being friendly with Zhang Yongwu and offending him would be detrimental to his network.
Furthermore, Zhang Yongwu's power is indeed too powerful, and his subordinates account for 77% or 88% of the military commander system.
After so many years of entanglement, who can afford to offend him?
Tang Hanxiao was hesitant and very passive.
In fact, the most embarrassing one was Liao Zhan.
Liao Zhan was a minister, from Shangshu Province, and was under the jurisdiction of Yang Ke.
But the strange thing is that he is the Minister of the Ministry of War and has close contacts with the military. In fact, the number of times he has dealt with Zhang Yongwu is much higher than the number of times he has dealt with Yang Ke.
This is not an order of magnitude at all.
In Liao Zhan's heart, he subconsciously felt that Zhang Yongwu was his boss and Yang Ke was his second child.
On weekdays, when brothers Zhang Yongwu and Yang Ke are on good terms, Liao Zhan can be said to be majestic.
Whether it is the military or the civil service, he can handle it all.
But the most embarrassing thing is that the two old brothers Zhang Yongwu and Yang Ke are dog-eat-dog.
They are dog bite dogs, so Liao Zhan is not a human being inside and outside.
A few months ago, there was a dog-eat-dog incident.
That incident was caused by Yan Qi, which gave Liao Zhan a headache.
Unexpectedly, after a few months, the two dogs started biting again.
Liao Zhan was in so much pain.
Yan Qi saw that Tang Hanxiao and Liao Zhan were still not expressing their opinions, and looked at Yang Ke with some disdain: "Prime Minister, the team has dispersed, it is difficult to lead them."
When Yang Ke heard this, he was furious, and the anger rushed from his tail bone to Tianling Gai.
He glared at Tang Hanxiao and Liao Zhan.
When Tang Hanxiao saw that Yang Ke was really angry, he didn't dare to hesitate anymore and immediately made a statement: "Your Majesty, I would like to express my grievance to Prime Minister Yang."
This sentence is enough.
As soon as Tang Hanxiao finished saying this, he saw Zhang Yongwu's sharp eyes coming towards him angrily.
Tang Hanxiao did not look at him and hurriedly avoided.
Yang Ke stared at Liao Zhan again.
Liao Zhan was in a dilemma and gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is just a minor matter, so it is better to delegate it to the cabinet for handling."
Zhang Yongwu was very satisfied: "Liao Shangshu still has the foresight."
Yang Ke looked at Liao Zhan and felt very angry.
He is very shameless.
Liao Zhan was obviously from Shangshu Province, but he openly spoke for Zhang Yongwu.
It's a slap in the face.
Yang Ke now understood that Liao Zhan regarded Zhang Yongwu as the boss.
In Liao Zhan's eyes, he, the prime minister, can only be regarded as the second child.
Yan Qi added fuel to the fire: "Liao Shangshu, this is your fault. You are from Shangshu Province, but your position is so unstable. How can you make Prime Minister Yang feel embarrassed?"
"Everyone in the civil and military dynasties knows that Prime Minister Yang values you and trains you. However, at this critical moment, you give Prime Minister Yang a slap in the face. Hehe, this is a bit like a white-eyed wolf."
This statement can be called the final conclusion.
Liao Zhan's scalp went numb for a while: "Yan Qi, don't talk nonsense. I am expressing my position from a fair and just position."
"Oh, fair? Just?"
Yan Qi smiled: "What you call fairness and impartiality is that you prefer to speak in favor of Zhang Yongwu? So, in your heart, you always thought that Prime Minister Yang was being unreasonable and unreasonable?"
"Huh? No, really not!"
Liao Zhan was so shocked that his hair stood up: "That's not what I meant, Yan Qi, don't blame me."
"Does this still need to be a hat-trick?"
Yang Ke's eyes were full of fierceness, and he stared at Liao Zhan coldly: "Liao Shangshu, today, I finally saw a person clearly, hahaha."
Liao Zhan was sweating profusely.
He didn't expect that in the end, he would be the most miserable unlucky guy.
This is called two tigers fighting, and the wild boar suffers.
Everything is Yan Qi's fault.
How could he have fallen into such a passive situation if Yan Qi hadn't added fuel to the flames and fanned the flames?
Liao Zhan looked at Yan Qi angrily: "You are cruel!"
