It can be seen that Wu Wanrong came prepared today.
His questions were one after another. Although they did not have a fatal effect, they could still set the trend and make Qi Dalang embarrassed in front of hundreds of officials.
This is what Mr. Liang, the chief minister of the cabinet, told me.
As for its purpose, it should be to bring down Qi Yu, let him retire early and gradually fade out of officialdom.
However, Liang Yingzhong did not expect that Wu Wanrong's question would expose himself.
Qi Yu came to this conclusion after just a little deliberation.
Two days ago, the emperor had just mentioned that Liang Yingzhong had secretly investigated him. Now that he was working in the same court, he couldn't wait to let it out.
It can be said that the before and after are easily connected.
However, Qi Yu was still quite surprised by this, even a little unprepared.
Not only him, but also the emperor was slightly shocked.
How can something of this nature be discussed in public? If things can't be reconciled, things have to be done in a formal manner.
For Qi Yu, since he was openly questioned, he had to respond positively.
Never dare to take it lightly.
So, what should we do?
From a legal perspective, no matter what your motives are, it is illegal to make firearms privately. The lighter case may include a fine and a warning, while the more severe case may result in dismissal and investigation.
Therefore, this matter must not be explained from a legal perspective, otherwise, it is possible to fall into the pit dug by Liang Yingzhong.
If we don’t respond legally, how can we explain it?
Suddenly!
Qi Yu suddenly remembered what the emperor had said to him before. He said that it was precisely because of the consideration of recovering the imperial seal that he had ignored Qiongzhou's military development.
Judging from the context at the time, he really had no objection. Can it be understood that he received instructions from the emperor?
Well, it makes sense logically.
Therefore, Qi Yu cast a 'asking for help' look at the emperor. At the same time, he also replied to Wu Wanrong: "Master Wu, you must have heard that before he went to Qiongzhou to take up his post, Qi got His Majesty gave me the right to act expediently. After I arrived in Qiongzhou, I used this power to assess the situation and make flexible decisions to stabilize the situation in Nanyang. The development of firearms is one of them. In other words, everything that happens in Qiongzhou is Obtained from His Majesty
I am acting in accordance with the authorization, so what’s wrong with that? "
"this……"
Wu Wanrong was stunned when he heard this and froze there.
You must know that among the many rights, the interface of the 'right to act expediently' is the most difficult to define. Its scope can be large or small, and there is no definite number. No one can figure it out.
However, the emperor has the final say.
Therefore, after Qi Yu said it, everyone turned their attention to the holy case.
The emperor made a statement almost without thinking: "Since I have given Qi Yu the right to act expediently, I must recognize his relevant actions. Even if there are any discrepancies in it, we should not get too entangled. As the saying goes, what will happen outside will This is what it means when you accept your orders."
This statement was a bit ambiguous, neither affirming nor denying it. It is not advisable to get too entangled in one sentence, even if it is a vague conclusion.
Ugh, that's weird!
Wu Wanrong had a confused look on his face. In his impression, the emperor had always advocated strong trunks and weak branches, but now that Qi Yu was developing firearms, he actually chose to ignore it.
At the very least, you have to give me a few harsh words in order to save your face, right?
However, since he has said it clearly, he will not allow others to question it.
As everyone knows, the emperor is immersed in some indescribable joy at this time, and this joy is precisely due to the dividends brought by Qi Yu's privately made firearms.
Wu Wanrong saw the emperor squinting his eyes and being intoxicated, so he had no choice but to close his mouth.
Seeing this, Qi Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could be happy, he saw the new chief minister Liang Yingzhong walking out with a playful look on his face.
"Master Qi!"
"Oh? Sir, what advice do you have?"
Liang Yingzhong smiled warmly and said, "I heard that Mr. Qi is the third flower of our dynasty, so I must have heard the saying that peace is the most precious thing."
joke!
Even ordinary people in the market can tell you a lot about this sentence, let alone me becoming a scholar?
Seeing his contempt, Qi Yu replied angrily: "Qi is not very talented and knowledgeable. He doesn't know much about this famous saying. He has barely heard it."
"Well, since you understand that peace is the most important thing, why do you knowingly violate it?" Liang Yingzhong was very unhappy when he saw his arrogant expression, so he stroked his beard and said even more arrogantly.
"Oh? Why did Mr. Liang say this? Please forgive Qi for not understanding." Qi Yu also raised his hand and stroked his beard, saying calmly.
Liang Yingzhong stopped stroking his beard and snorted coldly: "Recently there are rumors that you are waging unjust troops and disrupting the situation in southern Xinjiang. In the vast South China Sea, there will be almost no trace of bloodshed..."
Qi Yu interrupted him and said, "There's this other thing? Why didn't I know?"
"Don't be pretentious! You slaughtered Luzon with blood and intimidated Dawan. What you did is really bad! We, Dafeng, are a dignified and superior country, a country of etiquette. We have always advocated peace as the most important thing and virtue to convince people. Otherwise, Where did the grand occasion of all nations coming to court come from? Look at you again, you are arrogant, rude, disrespectful of etiquette, and ready to use weapons at every turn. Do you still have the slightest bit of Chinese style? Humph! The face of my great emperor has been ruined by your vulgarity. Everyone has been humiliated!"
Oh, so that’s what it meant!
At the moment, the officialdom in the capital only knows that there are some military conflicts between Qiongzhou and Luzon and Dawan, but they do not know the surrender behind it. Therefore, Liang Yingzhong will comment on the surface.
At the beginning, Qi Yu had repeatedly emphasized that the matter of surrender was a high-level secret and must not be reported publicly. The purpose of doing this is to retain some 'political capital' in a short period of time and use it as a back-up to increase one's political chips.
If political opponents had figured it out in advance, it would not have the effect of a 'sudden blow'.
What you need is for the other party to be caught off guard.
Qi Yu was not angry, but just smiled calmly and said: "Master Liang, what evidence do you have for calling me an unjust soldier? Haha, if it weren't for the sake of our colleagues, I would definitely accuse you of slander. "
What?
Dare you sue me?
Just as Liang Yingzhong opened his mouth to retort, he suddenly heard Lu Boxuan sing a counter-argument: "How did I hear that Mr. Qi has an open temper and a moral character like water? He is a rare and humble gentleman in the world. Could it be that Mr. Liang listens to others and is secretive, so he is like this? Is it unfair?"
"How can it be?"
Liang Yingzhong ignored Lu Boxuan's interruption and still insisted on Qi Yu: "You asked me just now what evidence I have, and I can tell you now that the Ministry of War has a lot of official documents from spies, all of them This is ironclad evidence that will make you speechless!"
"You are just unilaterally speaking..."
"One-sided? Then let me ask you, what evidence do you have? Witness evidence, physical evidence, both are acceptable!" Liang Yingzhong sneered and said.
"I can prove it!"
