Chen Ziang, the Prime Minister of Chen, as a veteran who has followed Emperor Shun for so many years and has always been in a high position, naturally has his reasons.
Not only because of his outstanding abilities, but more importantly, he is very good at understanding the holy will.
In the past two years, Emperor Shun had worked hard to govern and indeed made many political achievements.
After so many years, this was the first time that Chen Ziang saw such a diligent Emperor Shun, which also gave him hope.
Especially since what happened last time at Guozixue, Emperor Shun seems to have paid more attention to officials from poor families.
The officials standing up in front of me are typical representatives of officials from poor families.
On that day, it was these people who overcame all opinions and wrote a letter to remonstrate, allowing Emperor Shun to re-enable Qin Feng, regain control of Guozixue, and change the name of Guoxue.
Chen Ziang believed that when all these people suddenly stood up and spoke today, they were certainly not just talking out of thin air, but rather well-aimed.
Moreover, maybe it was under the instruction of Emperor Shun.
Chen Zi'ang is a wonderful person.
Although he didn't say it, he knew some things.
The reason why Peng Dabeard was able to rise rapidly in the first place was because of the support of certain people in the DPRK.
It is no secret that Grand Master Wen Tianda and Peng Dabeard are inextricably linked.
However, no one has conclusive evidence, so they dare not say anything.
After all, Grand Master Wen Tianda was not only powerful, but he was also the disciple of the former Grand Master Pang Taishi.
There are many party members.
Naturally, no one dares to offend him.
However, Chen Ziang knew in his heart that Emperor Shun must know about these things.
However, if he wanted to sit comfortably on this dragon throne, he had to rely on Wen Tianda's support.
Therefore, he has turned a blind eye to many things over the years.
At this moment, these young people are making trouble. Although they have not named them, everyone knows what they want to express.
When he thought of this, Chen Ziang couldn't help but squint his eyes and glanced in Wen Tianda's direction.
At this moment, Wen Tianda had already read the memorial.
There is no signature on the memorial.
To be precise, the place where the signature was signed was obliterated by ink.
His brows suddenly knitted together.
Generally, local memorials, if they are not urgent matters from eight hundred miles away, will go through him and Chen Zi'ang.
After a preliminary review led by them and a group of officials, only those cases that are necessary will be sent to Emperor Shun's case.
If it is a memorial in the court, or if it is delivered to Emperor Shun in the early morning, or if someone is summoned by Emperor Shun alone and sent to the imperial study to present it directly to Emperor Shun, it will not go through the first reading of them. .
However, the memorial in front of me is all about things in Lingxiao County and Peng Dabeard's misdeeds.
Obviously, it could not have been transmitted from the court, but should have been played by local officials.
If it was played by local officials, this person could actually go directly to Emperor Shun...
Thinking of this, Wen Tianda couldn't help but feel scared.
In Lingxiao County and Wangjiang County, will there always be someone who can reach heaven to listen?
If it wasn't someone from Prince Rui's Mansion, who would it be?
Could it be that Emperor Shun has been paying attention there?
Could it be that those rumors about Wangjiang are true?
He originally wanted to say something, but at this moment he narrowed his eyes slightly and remained motionless, pretending that it was nothing to do with him.
He knew that no matter what decision Emperor Shun made about Peng Dabeard, he could not express any opinion.
Otherwise, based on the rumors outside, he would most likely get into trouble.
He has clearly felt that Emperor Shun has been different in the past two years.
Therefore, he has been planning his own way out.
Just as everyone in the court was expressing their opinions, Emperor Shun, who was sitting above, spoke again, "Xiang Chen, what do you think?"
When Emperor Shun asked Chen Ziang, Wen Tianda's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened.
"Your Majesty, I feel that it is not appropriate to delve into this matter for the time being, and Peng Bearded cannot be surrounded for the time being!" Chen Zi'ang slowly stepped forward and said.
Emperor Shun was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that Chen Ziang would also advocate the suppression of bandits, but he did not expect such an answer.
A look of anger instantly appeared on his face, "What do you mean? Does Chen Xiang think that it's okay to let Peng Bearded be so arrogant?"
Wen Tianda was also stunned when he heard this.
Just counting the breaths, he had already thought of several answers to Chen Ziang in his mind.
However, no one expected that Chen Ziang would say this.
Chen Ziang has always been dissatisfied with himself and hates the bandits in the world.
Now that I have seized such an opportunity, how could I turn a blind eye and suggest not to delve into it further?
When Chen Ziang saw Emperor Shun being angry, he did not panic. Instead, he continued in an orderly manner, "Your Majesty, calm down! I think there are three reasons why it is not appropriate to go into details at this moment. Please allow me to explain."
"Okay, tell me!" Emperor Shun snorted coldly, "If you can't tell me how ugly you are, see how I deal with you!"
Chen Ziang nodded, and then continued, "Now the Mo Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom have been in a confrontation, and the war situation in the north is not clear. Peng's beard is caused by ringworm, and preparations for the northern border are a big deal."
Emperor Shun frowned when he heard this, "Go on!"
"Peng Dabeard has been entrenched near Tiandang Mountain. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack." Chen Ziang continued, "If we don't send elite troops there, it will definitely not be able to achieve the effect of encirclement and suppression; if we send elite troops to encircle and suppress, it will definitely leave the border empty. .”
"So, this is the first reason why we can't send troops to encircle and suppress Peng Dabeard for the time being."
Chen Ziang's words immediately silenced the ministers who were already whispering among each other in the court.
It has to be said that what Chen Ziang said only hit the point, which is the crux of the problem.
Chen Ziang looked at Emperor Shun, who was frowning, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he lowered his head and started talking again.
"The second reason is that this time Duan Wenjun was able to severely injure Peng Dabeard, kill four of his twelve guardians, and also severely injure his right-hand man Feng Zhongyu. This explains two things."
"What two things?" Emperor Shun was stunned.
"The first thing is that after leaving the Tiandang Mountain area, Peng Dabeard is not as powerful as he said." A faint smile appeared on Chen Ziang's face. "And this time he was hit hard. I believe he will at least restrain himself. He will not He came out so easily. If we send troops to encircle and suppress him, and he huddles in the deep mountains and old forests, we will definitely return without success."
"And the second thing is why Peng Dabeard attacked Duan Wenjun." Chen Ziang paused and then spoke.
"Just think, there are only two reasons."
"First, the carrot and stick policy proposed by Duan Wenjun has already worked. Bandits all over the world are waiting and watching, which makes Peng Dabeard himself a little worried."
"I heard that people on Xia Ke Island have spread some rumors, and they seem to be trying to compromise with the court."
"The second thing is that what Duan Wenjun did harmed the interests of some people in the court or in the local area. Especially this time with Shan Fengshan, it cut off some people's financial resources. They and Peng Dabeard colluded and used Peng Dabeard to eliminate Duan Wenjun for revenge."
"You mean, the people standing here also have Peng Bearded Party members?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Shun became furious and stood up from the dragon chair.
When the emperor was angry, blood flowed like a river.
The people below were suddenly silent.
He couldn't help but feel scared in his heart, and secretly looked in Chen Ziang's direction.
