The leader of Qingliu Zhengcheng, Chen Zheng, the minister of Taipu Temple, stepped forward.
He neither looked at the Taolin Party officials nor paid attention to the Imperial Party ministers. He just held his head high and was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Nowadays, the party struggle in the court is getting more and more intense."
"The Taolin Party, headed by Mr. Qin, and the Imperial Party, headed by Mr. Tian, account for more than 90% of the civil and military ministers in the court."
"Both parties have important responsibilities, but they only care about competing for fame and fortune. Where will they put our country and the country?"
"I would like to ask Mr. Qin and Mr. Tian, is the position of Taiwei and Taibao so good?"
"Even your two important ministers in the court are in disarray?"
Chen Zheng showed no mercy and loudly refuted the most important minister in the court in front of Emperor Liang and the civil and military ministers.
Ordinarily, Chen Zheng alone would not be able to turn things around.
Even if all the Qingliu Zhengcheng and ministers behind him were included, they would not be enough to see in this court hall, and they would not be able to make too big a splash.
but……
Everyone knows very well that any official who is associated with the four words "Qingliu Zhengchen" is a piece of meat.
They don't take soft and hard advice and only accept death. Not to mention the ministers in the court, if they get anxious, these noble ministers even dare to contradict Emperor Liang directly.
The whole hall was silent.
Tian Yuanshou is not willing to confront Qingliu Zhengchen. When the time comes, he will inevitably make a mess.
Qin Tianhu also remained silent. Although he led the Taolin Party to compete for the position of Taiwei and Taibao, the prerequisite was to consolidate the status of the Qin family, end internal strife, and revitalize Daliang.
The original intention of the Taolin Party is never to dominate the government, so naturally it cannot stand opposite to the Qingliu Zhengchen.
In this court, a good official may not necessarily be a high-ranking official, but as long as he is a high-ranking official, he must be a good official, there is no doubt about it.
Seeing that both Qin Tianhu and Tian Yuanshou remained silent, Emperor Liang breathed a long sigh of relief, but he was not happy.
Because this Chen Zheng stood up not to help Emperor Liang. He simply felt that the competition between the Taolin Party and the Imperial Party for the position of Taiwei and Taibao would endanger the country.
As Emperor Liang expected, Chen Zheng was straightforward: "I believe that the position of Taiwei and Taibao cannot remain vacant forever."
"It is necessary to select talented people to serve as soon as possible."
"As for who will be in charge, it will naturally be based on merit."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Liang's heart suddenly thumped.
Li Xu quickly caught the conversation: "Since people are appointed on their merits, heroes are naturally judged based on their merits. Let me ask you, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, whose achievements are greater than Lord Qin?"
"Other than Mr. Qin, who else can take on this important task?"
Facing Li Xu's rhetorical question, Chen Zheng was unceremonious: "Master Qin's achievements are indeed unparalleled."
"But the Qin family is too powerful, and the position of Taiwei and Taibao must not be handed over to the Qin family!"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Mian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, shouted sharply on the spot: "Chen Zheng, I think you are clearly at odds with Lord Qin!"
"I just said that people should be appointed on their merits, but they changed their minds as soon as they turned around. What do you mean, the Qin family is too powerful to serve as the Taiwei and Taibao? Do you, a noble official like you, have to play the art of balancing?"
"Master Qin took the initiative to give in because he thought you were a noble minister. Don't take your politeness as a blessing."
Chen Zheng had long expected that his remarks would cause backlash, so he didn't care.
Just standing proudly among the ministers, not squinting, not affected at all.
"Wu Mian, why are you excited?"
"In terms of official status, I am the minister of the Taifu Temple, and I am not much lower than you, the official of the main department of the Ministry of Personnel."
"In terms of seniority, you and I are candidates of the same year."
"In terms of ability, I am the number one scholar and you are the Jinshi."
"After all, I'm one point higher than you. Isn't it inappropriate for you to talk to me like this?"
It is true that Wu Mian and Chen Zheng were candidates in the same session, and since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, there have been a total of thirteen top candidates, and Chen Zheng in front of him is one of them.
It was precisely for this reason that Wu Miancai tried to avoid him at all times, but faced with Chen Zheng's aggressiveness, Wu Mian was naturally furious.
Just as he was about to say something, Qin Tianhu held him back.
Qin Tianhu looked at Chen Zheng and cupped his hands: "Mr. Chen, the last number one scholar was decades ago. As for the number one scholar alive, you are the only one in the world."
"Even I admire Master Chen's talent very much."
"It's just that, as Mr. Chen said, the matter of the Taiwei and Taibao should be based on merit and merit. Mr. Chen's accusation that the Qin family is powerful is not because he is involved in a personal affair, rather than doing official business."
Chen Zheng has no hostility towards Qin Tianhu and even admires Qin Tianhu from the bottom of his heart.
If the Qin family father and son hadn't turned the tide and repelled Beidi, Daliang's current situation would have been even more difficult.
However, Chen Zheng did not let go at all.
"Master Qin, please don't blame me. I am not targeting the Qin family, but the Qin family is indeed not suitable to serve as the Taiwei and Taibao anymore."
"This is for the sake of the country and the country."
"If Mr. Qin feels that I am bending the law for personal gain and deliberately suppressing the Qin family, I would rather be the sinner."
Having said this, Chen Zheng took a deep breath, and his sonorous and powerful voice spread throughout the hall.
"I will never agree to it. The Qin family will take over as Taiwei and Taibao!"
"If someone, relying on the power of his party members, wants to take advantage of others, I will definitely lead all the noble ministers and literati in the world to denounce such evil deeds!"
"in addition……"
"I and all the Qingliu Zhengcheng ministers will resign and return to their hometowns!"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Qin Tianhu and Tian Yuanshou, even Emperor Liang was shocked.
Now that the war is over, external worries have temporarily come to an end, while domestic affairs have become the top priority.
All the Qingliu Zhengchens are capable people who are willing to put in their efforts. Once the Qingliu Zhengchens resign collectively, the court will almost come to a standstill.
This is not the first time that Chen Zheng has threatened everyone with "resignation". Even Emperor Liang was threatened by him.
Facts have proved that Chen Zheng has the courage and courage. After all...if Chen Zheng hadn't resigned and returned to his hometown, Chen Zheng would have had a place among these three princes.
The entire hall fell into silence again.
As long as Chen Zheng is in front of them, it is impossible for the Qin family to obtain the position of Taiwei and Taibao.
Qin Tianhu sighed secretly. He expected that Emperor Liang would try every means to stop it, but he did not expect that at the last moment, Chen Zheng would suddenly come out.
The position of Taiwei and Taibao will probably remain vacant for some time.
Just when Qin Tianhu and a group of Taolin Party officials were about to give up, the young eunuch suddenly came in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Anle Bo Qin Feng is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Hearing this, Emperor Liang's heart skipped a beat.
broken!
The person who least expected to come came anyway.
All Taolin Party officials were also greatly surprised, and then secretly delighted.
After all, they had seen with their own eyes how Qin Feng dealt with the Beidi mission, and now only Qin Feng could deal with Chen Zheng.
