Pang Ban's words were murderous. He was more direct than the civil servants who wanted to set up additional supervisors in the Xuanqing Guards. He wanted to ask for an order based on the corruption and collusion exposed in various places during the "Jingxi" operation. A series of clearings were carried out on the backbone of a series of civil servant groups in the country, from local yamen to government-run workshops and shops.
It is conceivable that with Xuan Qingwei's style of doing things, as long as the emperor agrees, the civil servants in the old Jing Dynasty will definitely be killed to pieces, and it is very likely that even big bosses like Bai Changqing will be dragged into the water.
From the perspective of Pang Ban, the procrastination habit of the civil service group was full of loopholes. If the Wen family case had been exposed before, and the self-examination had been faster, they would not have been so passive. Now he is deliberately instructing Jiang Cheng to cut the knot with a sharp knife only in the area under the jurisdiction of Fengri City, and to "wait and see what happens" in other places. The purpose is to expose each other within these civil servant groups.
Charge up, charge up, charge up... Pang Ban has been charging up, waiting for the opportunity.
The Great Court Meeting is not only a counterattack moment that the civil servants are looking forward to, but also an opportunity to defeat the enemy that Pang Ban has been preparing for a long time.
Several pieces of irrefutable evidence were thrown out one after another, and no one could ignore the rotten smell in them. The things revealed in these cases alone were enough to support Pang Ban's words: it was rotten and had to be cut off.
This is more convincing than a thousand words.
A group of people who are so rotten themselves have the nerve to accuse others of meddling in their own business and stop them from continuing to rot? That doesn't make sense.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that what Pang Daren said is absolutely true. The local ministries have not been pruned for a long time, and rot is inevitable. They just need drastic rectification. If Xuan Qingwei is responsible for making these scissors, Wei Chen I thought it was a good fit.”
The person who suddenly came out of duty to echo was none other than Yang Yansi, the general of Zhuguo who stood at the front of the military queue.
As the number one person in the military position, Yang Yansi had his own confidence. He had no good impression of those civil servants who were talking nonsense in the temple. However, the situation was stronger than the others, and many times he had no choice but to bow his head. Life was miserable.
Even before witnessing these scholars once again targeting the Xuanqing Guard with sharp tongues, he still felt a bit desolate in his heart, foreseeing that the Xuanqing Guard would follow in the footsteps of the army.
But the changes were rapid. Instead of falling into a disadvantage, Pang Ban resorted to countermeasures arrogantly. Compared with the power of words of civil servants, Xuan Qingwei's side has irrefutable evidence. Speaking based on facts and evidence is always more accurate than talking nonsense. strong.
Is there anything more satisfying than adding insult to injury to your enemy?
What's more, the emperor's attitude on the stage was silent, and he even acquiesced to Pang Ban's practice of using his cultivation to suppress the civil servants and not allow them to make jokes. What does this mean?
So Yang Yansi immediately stood up and echoed Pang Ban's impassioned words. He didn't like Pang Ban or Xuan Qingwei, but neither of them combined made him as disgusted as the civil servants opposite him.
After Yang Yansi stood up, the entire queue of military officers seemed to have a chain reaction. All the remaining military officers came out one after another and knelt on the ground to express their opinions to the emperor on the stage. Without exception, they all supported Xuanqing Wei. Take action to rectify the staffing of local officials.
Pang Ban kept smiling, taking everything into account, and nodded slightly towards Yang Yansi to express his gratitude. And all this was actually expected by Pang Ban in advance.
It is true that Xuanqingwei is a loner. This is what Pang Ban has done deliberately for many years. Since he is His Majesty's personal soldier, he cannot get too close to anyone else, and he cannot even flirt with anyone. But this does not mean that you will work alone when dealing with certain things. You just need to find the right entry point like this. Once the result is beneficial to a certain party, they will jump out and help you regardless of previous grudges.
Right Prime Minister Ye Lansheng, who had held back his breath, was filled with anger. He did not expect that Pang Ban would dare to use his cultivation aura to suppress people in the main hall. Not only did he suppress their words, but it also aroused the military officials to take advantage of the situation. Now The situation immediately fell out of control.
After Pang Ban finally regained his breath suppression, Ye Lansheng was about to argue but was interrupted again, and this time the person who interrupted him was not Pang Ban but also the emperor on the stage.
"Before, you said that the army was arrogant, so I set up a supervisory army according to your words. Then you said that Xuanqing Guards did not control it properly, so I questioned Pang Ban, and Pang Ban set up a black flag camp to inspect the internal affairs. You again It is said that all civil servants respect character and have the ability to self-examine and encourage themselves, so I have always been trustworthy and indulgent to you.
But now it seems that you are also duplicity and pretending to be wrong? He catches others' mistakes and omissions, but when it's his turn, he is merciful and makes excuses.
What's the point? "
The emperor spoke, his tone was obviously much colder, and his gaze was like a knife. He glanced over and made Ye Lansheng tremble in fright. He quickly knelt down on his knees, and the queue on the left, which was full of indignation just now, all dwarfed.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. If I know I have made a mistake, I will investigate and deal with it strictly. I will not let the black sheep go unpunished!" Ye Lansheng has not seen the emperor look at people like this for a long time. This is a habitual action of the emperor when he is angry. This Don't argue at all times. The only way to protect yourself is to admit your mistakes directly, otherwise you will end up worrying.
As for the matter of Xuan Qingwei, we can only discuss it in the long term.
Bai Changqing and Ma Xuanlin behind Ye Lansheng also knew that today's matter could only protect themselves first before doing anything else. Although they were unwilling to do so, what could they do now that the emperor's words had come to this?
Pang Ban's voice came up again and he interjected: "The Prime Minister Zuo is very busy with official duties, so I'm afraid he doesn't have time to keep an eye on the bad bugs below. Xuan Qingwei is quite knowledgeable about catching bugs, and the bad guys should have been used to it for a long time. The Prime Minister Zuo There is no need to be burdened, Xuan Qingwei can help the left prime minister to share his worries."
"Hmph! Don't bother me, Sir."
Next to him, Ma Xuanlin also once again requested the Ministry of Punishment to take the lead in the internal rectification of the yamen system, and was willing to issue a military order.
Generally, civil servants will use a big killer weapon to express this kind of love, and that is "crying".
This is no joke. It is nothing new for civil servants to cry bitterly in temples. They are just an advanced version of adults who pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic. They just want to use their own embarrassment in exchange for the emperor's favor.
In fact, some people in the military profession have done this, but neither the fluency nor the natural emotions are as vivid and touching as those of civil servants, so crying has become a professional skill for civil servants over time.
Of course, there is no need for Ye Lansheng or Bai Changqing to cry. They have passed that stage. Unless it is really a matter of life and death, they no longer need to use this professional skill.
At this time, many people in the civil service were already crying with runny noses and tears.
However, this time the emperor didn't seem to express his position as quickly as usual. He just watched the people below him crying as if he was watching a show.
