At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 87
"The Emperor is here!"

All the officials looked terrified, bowed together, and shouted long live.

The emperor actually came to court again, which is rare!
That's just right, you sent him out, and today in front of all the officials, you must ask for an explanation.

Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair, waved his hands and said, "Everyone is flat!"

All the officials thanked him and got up.

"Sounds to the emperor, Tang Xinggu impeached Beilin, the imperial supervisor of the capital of the court. This person harmed the people in Yulin Mansion, causing thousands of people to leave their homes and homes. I implore the emperor to severely punish and eliminate harm for the people!"

The other censors were also prepared, but unfortunately they were robbed of the limelight by Tang Xinggu, so they had to come out later.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

Seven or eight people stood up in a row, all for the purpose of impeaching Belin.

Tang Xinggu is full of confidence, and it's time to show his face.

As a censor, as a Qingliu, the first priority is impeachment.

To see who is not pleasing to the eye, impeachment first.

At the beginning, the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang once set up the ancestral precepts. When the emperor came to the court, the officials should take turns to be on duty. If they found something unreasonable, they should directly remonstrate without any scruples. Regardless of the army or the people, regardless of the system or officials In other words.

If the emperor is deceived and does not reflect on himself, he will ask the officials to give up their lives for arguing, and they will not hesitate to criticize the scales and stroke the tiger's beard!

In this way, these scholar-bureaucrats have developed the habit of hating the emperor.

Zhu Qizhen knew very well that behind the seemingly simple impeachment was a direct confrontation between himself, the emperor, and the scholar-bureaucrats.

"Tang Qing's play, is there any evidence that Bei Lin killed the people in Yulin Mansion?"

Tang Xinggu's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "There are memorials from the Yulin Mansion as proof!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and continued: "The Qing family has seen the memorabilia of Yulin Mansion, have you checked it yourself?"

"Going back to the emperor, it will take a few days to go to the Yulin mansion, and I don't have time to check it."

"Since there is no inspection, the Qing family is not afraid that the impeachment is wrong and a good person has been wronged?"

But Tang Xinggu talked eloquently: "The minister is the censor, and the censor's duty is to catch rumors and play on rumors. As for the facts, there are six yamen and Jinyiwei to deal with them, and the minister is only responsible for reporting."

As for the evidence, I'm sorry, I don't care about it!

Zhu Qizhen looked at the indignation of these speech officials, and he knew very well in his heart that impeachment and killing harm for the people were nothing more than gaining a reputation for himself.

The emperor Taizu did leave a legacy, and the officials can hear about it, that is to say, as long as they hear the wind and grass, there is no need to check it at all, and they can play it directly.

Moreover, these Qingliu boasted about Wei Zheng all day long and put on an appearance of being loyal to the country every day. Even if they knew that Belin was sent by the emperor himself, they still dared to impeach him.

Hit me if you don't agree!

Zhu Qizhen glanced around and asked again: "Cao Qing's family, what do you think?"

Cao Nai was the chief assistant of the cabinet, so he knew that he was inseparable from the relationship, so he said: "I think that since the Yulin Mansion has already filed a report, the imperial court should immediately order Bei Lin to be recalled and handed over to Jin Yiwei for a thorough investigation."

Hearing what Cao Nai said, Tang Xinggu felt more confident.

He didn't care what Belin did, nor did he care how the common people were harmed. Today he wanted to gain a reputation, even if he contradicted the emperor, he would not hesitate to do so.

Of course Zhu Qizhen knew it well, but in the face of these people's blatant challenges, he, the emperor, couldn't use force, he had to fight wits and courage.

If it is said that these censor officials received court sticks for offending the emperor, they would be spanked, even if they were beaten to pieces, they would not be afraid at all, and some even took pride in receiving sticks!

In fact, this is the mentality of scholar-bureaucrats "seeking fame".

According to the traditional Confucian concept, a minister who dares to speak out must be a loyal minister of the country, which has been passed down through the ages.

People like Tang Xinggu, to put it bluntly, his job is to find fault.

And because of his status as a censor, to a certain extent, everyone has to pay attention to the faults he picks.

If you hit him today, tomorrow there will be more censors queuing up to fight, the kind that the more you beat him, the more excited you will be.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen also felt dizzy, mainly because Belin didn't know whether the earthquake predicted was accurate, and he didn't know for sure!

The current situation is that I have knowledge and wisdom beyond this era, but in front of this group of scholar-bureaucrats, there is still nothing I can do.

Difficult!

At this time, another voice came from below.

"Qi Zou the emperor, the old minister is getting old, and has become more and more powerless recently, and is in constant panic. The old minister... please ask for the bones!"

I saw Li Shimian prostrate on the ground, already in tears.

A man in his seventies, who had assisted four generations of emperors, was beaten by an unknown junior on his body. The emperor didn't care when it was over, no matter who could bear this grievance!

Seeing Li Shimian resigning in public, there were bursts of sighs from above the hall.

Even Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Belin's actions in Mizhi have aroused public resentment. In my opinion, I should call her back first, and then make plans."

Zhu Qizhen glanced around again, and asked, "Do all the ministers mean this?"

Tang Xinggu hurriedly said: "This person harms the common people in the name of the emperor, and he deserves to be punished!"

This move undoubtedly pushed Zhu Qizhen into a desperate situation. If you don't kill him, you will be ordered to abandon the pawn to save the car, or abandon the car to save the pawn. You have to choose one, right?

Zhu Qizhen suddenly looked at one person and asked, "Yu Qian, what do you think?"

Yu Qian was taken aback for a moment, thinking what does it have to do with me?

I'm from the Ministry of War. For this matter, you can either go to the Qin Tianjian, or the Ministry of Officials, or the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment. What do you ask me for?
Under everyone's gaze, Yu Qian said indifferently: "Return to the emperor, this matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of War, I don't want to make rash comments."

Everyone couldn't help showing disdainful expressions, cowardly, without character, how dare you say that you are a disciple of a saint?
Zhu Qizhen didn't want to let him go, and said: "Why has nothing to do with the Qing family? The Qing family is now a member of the cabinet. How can you stay out of such a big event?"

Yu Qian had no choice but to say: "I think that Belin's speculation has no conclusive evidence, and it is really inappropriate to go to war for a false guess."

"You say Belin is just guessing?"

Zhu Qizhen seemed to have found a breakthrough, and continued to ask: "I would like to ask, who can prove his guess is wrong? And who dares to promise me that there will be no earthquakes in the northwest region?"

Yu Qian had no choice but to say: "I don't understand astronomical phenomena, so I don't dare to make rash comments. I just think it's inappropriate, that's all."

At this time, Li Shimian, who was kneeling on the ground, rubbed his numb knees, raised his head with difficulty, and said, "Your Majesty, the earthquake is a warning from the heavens. Now your majesty has done nothing wrong. How could it be..."

Boom!

In the middle of Li Shimian's speech, suddenly, there was a muffled sound from the ground, the entire Fengtian Hall was shaking, and the doors and windows slammed.

Everyone's face suddenly changed.

What happened?

The sky is falling?
