But Liu Haojia still asked: "Master Li, when are you talking about the military discipline?"
The courtiers burst into low laughter after hearing this. It seemed that some people were willing to see Li Xiupeng defeated! When Li Xiupeng heard the laughter, he became even more angry. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Why do you have to pretend to be crazy here? Of course it is the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty Navy!"
Liu Haojia laughed and said: "Master Li, it seems that you are still literate and know the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty Navy! I want to ask you, when His Majesty decreed the establishment of the navy, he made it clear that all navies will be based on the original navy. The division that was separated from the navy and established a separate army has different strategies and responsibilities from the original navy. It is basically a new service! But now you are applying the military laws of the navy to the navy. I really I can’t figure out whether you are illiterate or you are literate and you just don’t know what these words mean when they are put together?”
When the courtiers heard this, many people immediately laughed out loud, and even among the civil servants, many people lowered their heads and laughed! Especially the nobles not only laughed, but also kept making sarcastic comments, mocking these censors as useless people who only know how to eat and not work!
However, most civil servants still know one thing very well, that is, Liu Haojia escaped this time again! Because what he said is theoretically impeccable! From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, the navy is indeed a new army that has never been seen before!
Moreover, in the original report on the establishment of the navy, Liu Haojia described in detail how the navy was established, what responsibilities it would assume, and the direction of future development. It was completely different from the original messy navy! Therefore, if he sets a new salary standard for a brand new military branch, it is completely justified from a legal perspective!
At this time, Liu Haojia simply chased after him and said to Li Xiupeng, whose face was red: "Master Li, it seems that you don't understand the imperial court's will at all, or you just pretend to be confused! If you don't understand, you can only Let me explain one thing, you are a useless person who can only point fingers at others and find fault with others! If not, you will label me as having ulterior motives here. I am afraid that the person with real ulterior motives is you, right? "
Li Xiupeng said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! I only serve the court, so there is no ulterior motive!"
Liu Haojia raised his finger and pointed at the indignant Li Xiupeng and said: "I think you have ulterior motives! The reason is really simple. You can actually find out how the navy is issuing subordinates hundreds of thousands of miles away, but you actually have no control over the navy in seven or eight months." I didn’t receive any salary during the period and ignored me, and then you came here to impeach me with shameless words! Tell me, Mr. Li, did you join forces with those greedy people to frame me? "
Liu Haojia's words immediately silenced the hall, and then someone inside the nobles said loudly: "That's right! These censors usually eat people's food and don't do human affairs. They must have joined forces with those greedy people to frame Wu Ningbo. ! Otherwise he can’t leave one thing alone and focus on another!”
As soon as these words came out, the nobles immediately made a loud noise, demanding that Emperor Wanli investigate the responsibility of Li Xiupeng and the responsibility of the Supervisory Council! Naturally, the Inspectorate and the civil servants were not to be outdone, and stepped forward to refute, leaving the pale-faced Li Xiupeng aside, as if he had become a passerby!
But their rebuttal became so weak for the first time! Because the nobles have identified one thing, which is more important: giving more money to the soldiers, or letting the soldiers mutiny and corrupt Jiangnan? Moreover, Li Xiupeng didn't care that the soldiers would mutiny due to starvation, but instead poured dirty water on Commander Wang. Did he just want to use this to force the navy soldiers to rebel?
After they had been arguing for a long time, Emperor Wanli signaled the censor on duty to calm down. After everyone returned to work, Emperor Wanli leaned forward, half-crouched on the imperial desk, stared at Li Xiupeng, and said, "Li Yushi, I'm also very curious as to why you left tens of thousands of soldiers without pay. You don't care about the matter, but you keep an eye on the commander-in-chief of the first army? Do you really want to force Wu Ningbo to raise an army to rebel?"
The faces of the courtiers changed greatly when they heard this, because Emperor Wanli's words could be said to be heart-breaking! At this time, Li Xiufeng's face turned pale with fright. He knelt on the ground with a bang and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I really don't know that the Navy has not paid wages for several months!"
Li Xiupeng finished speaking
, and looked around as if asking for help. But everyone who saw his gaze lowered their heads! Because everyone knows that Li Xiupeng is hopeless! ap.
At the same time, Emperor Wanli raised his head and glanced at Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting still. Seeing that he had no objection, he knew that he had probably given up on Li Xiupeng. So he said slowly: "Let me ask you, you know that the Navy is doubling the pay thousands of miles away, but you don't know that right under your nose, the Ministry of War does not allocate the money. How can I believe what you said?"
At this time, Li Xiupeng could not say anything and could only kowtow! Emperor Wanli felt disgust in his heart when he saw his pitiful appearance! Why are there so few officials like Liu Haojia among the court officials? They are all trash who only finds faults and has high ambitions but low ambitions!
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said, "Zhang Jia, put him in prison and wait until Dali Temple comes up with the investigation results of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War before dealing with him."
Hearing this, Zhang Jia flicked his fly whisk, and two men immediately came up to pick up Li Xiupeng and dragged him out of the hall. Liu Shouyou, who was standing in the class, opened his mouth to say something but did not dare to make a sound. He could only stand there dejectedly. The other censors of the Inspectorate were all like defeated roosters. They were so dejected that they did not dare to say another word, for fear that Emperor Wanli would take out his anger on them!
Seeing that they were honest, Emperor Wanli felt relieved, so he ignored their thoughts and said directly to Liu Haojia: "Liu Aiqing, this time Li Xiupeng impeached you, you have passed the test, but do you have anything else to say?"
Liu Haojia said seriously: "I do have something to say."
Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "Say it, I'll listen to you!"
Hearing this, Liu Haojia stood up straight and said loudly: "When the navy was established, I had already written the importance of the navy quite clearly! But many adults here may not believe it! But this is not difficult to understand, after all, it cannot be seen truly What you hear is always unbelievable, so people like Li Xiupeng take the opportunity to attack and affect the development of the navy! However, for the sake of the normal development of the navy in the future, I kindly ask your majesty to change the name of the navy to the Royal Navy. In the future, it will only be under the jurisdiction of the Royal Navy. Command, not controlled by others! The status is the same as that of a royal guard!"
