After listening to this long and sincere cry of remonstrance, no one could accuse Yang Tinghe of having other thoughts.
Everyone has said that you are indeed a talented and heroic king, and I support you sincerely. Now this advice is also for your consideration.
It's just that Liang Chu and Wang Qiong have been found out and the real evidence is difficult to recover, so they should naturally be dealt with.
As for others, you can think that there are not many clean things in the court, and you can replace them all in the future and choose more talented people, but never at this moment.
Including me!
I can go. I admit that my words and deeds are inconsistent with each other, and I don't have to be "shameless to stay on stage".
The heartfelt words of a veteran of four dynasties were expressed in such a long and elegant sentence, coupled with the "acting skills" that he had honed throughout his life, Zhu Houcong applauded from the bottom of his heart and wanted to give him an award.
But no, now the pressure is on him.
If there is solid evidence, it is just a flaw.
Wang Qiong and the others cannot be protected this time. Otherwise, they will be impunity and their prestige will be lost. At the very least, their positions will be temporarily transferred away from the center.
But if the will to continue the investigation cannot be carried out, then Yang Tinghe has completely dominated the rhythm this time.
Let’s not talk about anything else. If word spreads about Yang Tinghe’s performance, I don’t know how many people will be “moved to tears”.
As for the truth or falsehood of your words, who cares about you? The butt determines the head.
How did the fire start? Didn't the cases of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin start before the emperor ascended the throne? Don't you care if the evidence is found? Isn’t this asking the Emperor to make a decision?
In this case, insisting on continuing the trial turned into a situation where Yang Tinghe tried his best to put out the fire, and the emperor insisted on adding fuel to the fire.
This sense of proportion actually changes subtly due to a performance.
Does Zhu Houcong really not care whether there is chaos in the court?
The central government is unstable, the capital is in chaos, local areas are confused, and internal and external troubles are coming. This is not alarmist talk.
He Yang Ting and Zhu Houcong were just playing cards and making an exchange.
This time, he did not exchange, just to achieve his goal, even at the cost of leaving the court.
If the Holy Will still decides to get to the bottom of it, then he has exhausted his benevolence and justice.
When the emperor was silent, Yuan Zonggao stepped forward again and knelt down with the same solemn salute: "I did not think that Mr. Yang Ge's inconsistent words and deeds made it inappropriate for him to be shameless in Taige anymore. Mr. Yang Ge is a minister of the Zhuguo, and he is prudent in pursuing the country. I also respect you! Today's affairs in the country are complicated and there are many accumulated shortcomings. The court cannot be separated from the important ministers of the country, nor can it be without capable ministers! The old man said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, but even if people look at it, there will be no fish. There is no solid evidence for this. This is true for my ministers, and so is it for the Great Heavenly Official, the Great Sinong, the Great General Constitution, etc.!"
"Baopuzi" says: Small defects are not enough to damage a great weapon, and shortcomings are not enough to hinder a talent. "Zuo Zhuan" also says: A small defect cannot cover up a great virtue. Who has no faults? But mistakes can be corrected. , There is nothing better than a good thing! In the past, the power of traitors and sycophants was overwhelming. The ministers had no choice but to do so, and the elders of the cabinet also thought so. The court's reward and punishment laws must not be unfair. The veteran's immeasurable merits were favored by the Holy Spirit and invited him to join the Taiwan Pavilion. He was ashamed. Wang Qiong Isn't it true that after many years of service without any special merit, he should be deposed because of a momentary and unavoidable mistake in the past?"
"The old minister is ignorant. He was born in the same class as the Jinshi in the third year of Hongzhi. He has been trembling with fear since he was appointed as the great uncle, lest people in the world say that your majesty is using him as an inhumane. If he is appointed to the pavilion again, he is afraid that he will not have the talent and virtue! However, the old minister has been the chief of the palace for many years. I also inspected one side and knew how difficult everything was. I would like to use my life as a guarantee and ask your majesty to order Wang Qiong and others to remain in their original posts, to make meritorious service and to change their past mistakes. After today, if Wang Qiong and others have any wrongdoing again, it will be my fault. Exactly! The Ming Dynasty has not reached the prosperous age of eight million taels per year, and the old minister has no face to join the cabinet! The old minister is brave and begs for grace! I hope that your majesty will remember the old minister’s hard work for many years and settle the case!"
Wang Qiong knelt aside and burst into tears.
Another person who gambled his future.
Liang Chu wanted to leave the cabinet and shoulder everything by himself, but it was useless.
He himself has been found out, so what qualifications does he have to influence the situation? It was nothing more than using Yang Tinghe to force out a cabinet minister as soon as he took action, creating invisible pressure on Yang Tinghe.
But this time Yang Tinghe was so determined that this method was useless.
It's different now.
Yuan Zonggao changed his view and agreed with Yang Tinghe's suggestion not to continue the investigation, but he used his reasons to apply to Wang Qiong and others.
Naturally, it is not enough for one person to have no faults. Impunity will cause big problems.
However, he gave up joining the cabinet in full public view!
He used his status as a former minister and quasi-cabinet minister to vouch for Wang Qiong and others!
Likewise, he once again supported the emperor in finding ways to double his annual income in the future.
To achieve this goal, other than reform, what else can be done?
When Zhu Houcong expressed his stance and had not yet decided whether to reform or not, Yuan Zonggao was selling his identity, blocking everyone's mouths, and delaying the decisive game at the same time.
After all, the new law hasn’t started yet. Yang Tinghe could only use the phrase "the road is dangerous, drive slowly" to express dissuasion for a long section of his performance.
Zhu Houcong looked at Yang Tinghe.
His move this time forced Liang Chu away, and now as long as Zhu Houcong nods, he has blocked Yuan Zonggao's possibility of joining the cabinet.
When the annual income reached eight million taels, when did it happen? Will Yuan Zonggao live until that time?
Yang Tinghe looked at the ground, his arms shaking slightly.
He doesn't want to win like this. What does Liang Chu calculate? Wang Qiong is the top priority.
Besides, is this considered a win now? In the eyes of some people, the emperor's defeat was so heroic that even the capital of his former ministers had to sacrifice his future.
Or it will be a complete success. In this case, it will work even if there is a deep rift between the king and his ministers. Time will prove everything.
If it’s neither up nor down at this moment, what does it count?
But Yuan Zonggao's identity is too special. After he has already supported him in not continuing the investigation, will he continue to oppose him using his political future to guarantee Wang Qiong and others?
Yang Tinghe closed his eyes and sighed deeply in his heart.
Liang Chu confessed, Wang Qiong confessed, Yan Song stabbed him in the back, and Yuan Zonggao cut his own future. The emperor seemed to have already won the hearts of his ministers, and they all used their words and deeds to put pressure on themselves.
Today, Yang Ting and Wei Ling are all in power.
Even the sincere petition was immediately given part of the "credit" by Yuan Zonggao.
If the emperor nods now, wouldn't it be the result of the joint efforts of the old and new ministers?
Zhu Houcong looked at Yuan Zonggao again, feeling that he was too excited this time.
But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t change the outcome.
Aren’t the eighteen top chairs in the royal study just to guard against this possibility?
Yang Tinghe probably thought this was a "decisive battle," but in Zhu Houcong's mind, this wasn't even the opening scene, it could only be regarded as a warm-up.
The drama of seeking wealth under the new law directed by him will not kick off until Wang Shouren arrives in Beijing.
"Since the eldest uncle has made such a request, let's handle the matter like this." Zhu Houcong stood up straight again and looked down at the ministers. "According to the opinion of Grand Scholar Jiang, Wang Qiong and others will each pay the stolen silver and stolen goods and a fine of three yuan." year, to serve as a warning to others. At the request of the great uncle, I still ordered him to temporarily take up his original position and serve his crime. Based on Yang Qing's advice, I ordered all the officials in Beijing to confess their past mistakes and report them before the end of the month."
Yuan Zonggao was mentioned, Jiang Mian was mentioned, and finally Yang Tinghe was mentioned.
The names are respectively Jiang University Scholar, Dazong Bo and Yang Qing.
Yang Tinghe's eyes were filled with sadness.
In just one month, the momentum has begun to build, and this time the emperor does not have to go out personally.
Although those who rushed out for him basically "ended tragically".
But since the emperor is still on the throne, these are just temporary hardships after all.
The emperor began to walk out. Some behind him were unwilling and some were moved, but they still had to shout "Your Majesty's Holy Might" in unison.
"Yan Song and Liu Long, follow me back to the palace. What we didn't finish yesterday will be continued today."
"I obey the decree..."
Yang Tinghe looked at the emperor's back with complicated eyes: Should he continue to study the successes and failures of Xining's reform?
The emperor did not resolutely drive Yang Tinghe away. The emperor continued to save Wang Qiong and others in this matter, but also lost the political futures of Liang Chu and Yuan Zonggao.
Who wins and who loses?
In the rustling sound of getting up, Xie Changjie saw Yuan Zonggao's cold eyes.
He knew that he was probably really finished.
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is still Wang Qiong, and the Yushi of Zuodu of the Duchayuan is still Chen Jin.
Xie Changjie is no longer a human being everywhere.
Who is the biggest beneficiary of this crisis?
After they dispersed, all the ministers thought about it in their hearts. After much thought, it turned out to be Jiang Mian.
Yang Tinghe's actions today personally tore into pieces what the emperor said that day, "the emperor and his ministers are of one mind."
Although he is temporarily left behind, he should have entered the countdown before taking office.
Fei Hong is caught in the whirlpool of public opinion over his nephew's high school champion. Yang Yiqing is going to join the three sides of the total system again, and Yuan Zonggao can no longer join the cabinet.
The cabinet in the first year of Jiajing will most likely be headed by Jiang Mian.
In the capital, when the new scholars who were waiting to be conferred heard the news, several fellow students with whom they had a good relationship looked at Huang Zuo in unison.
Mao Cheng made a special case for him to participate in the imperial examination. He had just welcomed the new emperor to the throne, and Mao Cheng disappeared after the first imperial examination.
Liang Chu ranked him second in the first-class examination. He had just initiated the posthumous title of Yu Qian, and within a few days of being honored by scholars, Liang Chu disappeared again.
Why is it so evil?
Should you stay away from him? Being a fellow eccentric, I feel embarrassed...
"...I'm going to pay a visit to Mr. Liang's house."
Regardless of whether Liang Chu had other sins, he was kind to Huang Zuo.
What's more, the looks in his classmates' eyes now made Huang Zuo feel depressed, and he really felt like giving up on himself.
Is there really something wrong with me?
