Normally, Chen Guang would listen to what the peacemaker Zheng Yang said.
But this time is different.
It was imminent. If he became a rebel, his life would be lost. Chen Guang was not willing to give any face to anyone.
He stood up, used the topic, and said angrily: "The overall situation is the most important thing. Of course I also want the overall situation to be the most important thing. But listen to how unpleasant the governor's words are. Who among you doesn't know that I am not greedy for money and not lustful? A nickname for someone who loves calligraphy and painting. This Yang thief has been in contact with me a few years ago and frequently invites me to his mansion to appreciate paintings and discuss calligraphy. This seems to be his conspiracy, and he wants to drag me into trouble, but this The governor spoke like this, and it was clear that he was going to kill me..."
"Your Majesty the Governor, you are confusing the public and deliberately trying to excuse the real traitors who are in the same party. You have sinister intentions and can be punished..."
Although he loves calligraphy and painting, he loves his own life even more. He clearly understands one thing. If this matter involves him, he will have to shed a layer of skin even if he does not die. His old arms and legs are usually lacking. Sports and weak willpower, if it falls into the hands of Jin Yiwei, he may be beaten into a trap.
It is of course harmless to kill me alone, but letting the real murderer and his accomplices go free is a challenge to Ming Dynasty law.
Chen Guang was so excited, which cast a layer of gloom in the hearts of the officials sitting together. Yes, now is a situation where everyone is in danger, and no one can treat it calmly.
Facing Chen Guang's accusation, Lu Yu slapped the table: "Hmph, Chen Guang, everyone knows what kind of thing you are. If it hadn't been for Xu Youzhen's recommendation, you would probably still be writing and painting in the Hanlin Academy now. There is no such thing as today."
"Mr. Governor, there is something wrong with what you said. It is the responsibility of the Xudu Censor to recommend talents for Your Majesty. However, the words of the Governor seem to be a conspiracy of secret power. I don't know the Governor." Are you dissatisfied with the Censor of Xudu, or are you dissatisfied with His Majesty?"
Maritime Envoy, Waihai Navy Manager Yang also spoke at this time.
Yang Zheng looked upright, his skin was slightly rough, and his hands were covered with calluses and cracks.
This doesn't look like a civil servant at all.
Yang Zheng is the only official from Shandong among so many officials. He is a third-grade maritime patrol officer, but he also holds the position of offshore naval manager. He has hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of naval soldiers in his hands. , staying in Dengzhou or Geoje Island in North Korea all year round.
In Shandong, the conservatives represented by Lu Yu and Zheng Yang were the most powerful. They had always had a wait-and-see attitude toward the imperial court's establishment of a sea navy, and were unwilling to work wholeheartedly. Therefore, after Yang Zheng met the emperor, When he started to separate the Shandong Navy, he was blocked by Lu Yu, Zheng Yang and others.
The emperor decreed that the Shandong government should use part of the money and food to establish a new naval office, so as to avoid many inconveniences.
Lu Yu and others just found reasons to push back and forth. At that time, Zhu Jianshen was very angry at the local rejection, but the people below were all convinced and had sufficient reasons. He could only ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to directly allocate funds, but this was a move that was far away at the expense of the near.
Then, on the recommendation of Xu Youzhen, Chen Guang, who was the deputy envoy of Shandong at that time, jumped two ranks and became the chief envoy, in charge of the money and food affairs of the province. After Chen Guang became the chief envoy, he used It took half a year to break the situation successfully.
Yang Zheng also tried his best to meet Yang Zheng's needs. Yang Zheng understood that if Chen Guang fell, the Waihai Navy Division's Yamen would once again become a wild mess that his father did not care for and his mother did not love.
Yang Zheng is an anomaly among civil servants. He grew up by the sea. After becoming an official, he has been dealing with the sea. Because matters related to maritime affairs are not taken seriously by the court, many officials are also very reluctant to enter this system, so Yang Zheng has been all the way. He made great progress and faced almost no opponents.
He is not willing to form gangs and form small local groups, but if it involves military and national affairs, he must make a choice.
Yang Zheng's words were serious.
Cao Jixiang, who had been sitting silently at the top, also frowned.
Lu Yu was also on the verge of breaking out.
Chen Guang was also very surprised. Although he had interacted with Yang Zheng a lot, he was not a close friend.
Cao Jixiang put down the tea cup in his hand, and then said: "My lords, at this time, let's not attack each other. It's up to others to decide what is right and wrong. If it's not you, you can talk about me, and I can talk about you. Whatever can be determined, what is black will always be black, it cannot be white, what is white will always be white, it cannot be black..."
Cao Jixiang is an old man in the palace. Logically speaking, he has a lot of face in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and these foreign officials will give him more or less face.
He is also very confident that he can stop this unnecessary war of words as soon as he opens his mouth.
But he miscalculated.
After he finished speaking, he fell directly to the ground.
"Eunuch Cao, what you said is wrong. With people like Xu Youzhen, black will turn to white, and white will turn to black. This is normal. According to the rules of handling cases, Chen Guang has a close relationship with Thief Yang. Why now? Instead of being held in solitary confinement, he is being held together with us innocent ministers.”
Cao Jixiang did not expect that Lu Yu, the governor of Shandong, would not save face for himself. He glanced at Lu Yu, and Lu Yu looked at Cao Jixiang without giving in.
When Cao Jixiang was about to speak, he saw an official boot heading straight towards Lu Yu's face.
By the time Lu Yu reacted, Chen Guang had already kicked Lu Yu in the face.
When everyone saw this, they hurried forward to pull the excited Chen Guang.
And Lu Yu was also confused. He dared to kick himself in the face. In his excitement, he forgot about the pain and stood up suddenly: "Chen Guang, how dare you be so rude? I, I will give it to you." Fight……"
With that said, Lu Yu rolled up his sleeves, rushed forward, and struggled with Chen Guang.
They are all 60 years younger, but at this time, they are still full of energy.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and wherever there are rivers and lakes, there are fights. This is true for hawkers in the market, and it is also true for officials in the court. There is no difference...
Cao Jixiang just watched the chaos in the lobby. From the initial practice of Chen Guang and Lu Yu alone, it later turned into a group fight. He did not dare to say a word, fearing that if he spoke, these officials would be attacked. Pull yourself in and beat him up.
Whether they are the governor or the chief envoy, they are all the chief officials of a province, and each has his trusted subordinates. I didn't mention it on the front, but when they start to act, you can tell who is whose. .
While these officials were performing a martial arts show, the carriages Han Yong and Xu Youzhen were riding in stopped at the door of the other courtyard...
