Chapter 592

On the morning of the third day of July, the tax-paying faction and the non-tax-paying faction were fighting for life and death. The non-tax-paying faction pointed at Liu Tingyuan, the core figure of the imperial party, and wanted to drive Liu Tingyuan from power.

During the battle, Cao Yubian completely overwhelmed Liu Tingyuan in terms of momentum.

Yang Reform is also unwilling to talk nonsense, if intercession fails, then he can only take the second path.Try to get Liu Tingyuan to come up with a plea agreement.

"Liu Bingbu? Liu Qing's family..." Yang Huaihe called out several times.Liu Tingyuan shrunk his neck in a daze, obviously wanting to talk.

"The minister is here." Liu Tingyuan immediately agreed.

"What did I ask you? Cao Qing's family impeached you, tell yourself, is there any?" Yang Reform asked, as if handling it impartially.

Liu Tingyuan became anxious.

Cao Yubian looked like a victorious rooster, holding his head high, as if Liu Tingyuan was dead.

"Master Liu, could it be that I need the old man to remind you a few things before you remember?" Cao Yubian said to Liu Tingyuan immediately when he saw Liu Tingyuan's decayed image.

Liu Tingyuan also began to get annoyed, even if he did have a handle on someone, it wasn't a lump of mud, let others rub it.

"Return to Your Majesty, I don't remember, it's been so long, who can still remember so clearly, if Master Cao can give an example of what happened recently, I may still remember, there are people who asked about things several years ago, if I ask Cao Mr. Cao doesn’t remember what happened a few years ago, Mr. Cao, does it also mean that Mr. Cao has been corrupted?” Liu Tingyuan was furious, and he looked bad at first, but now he stands up and refuses to admit it. It's impeachment. The most recent incidents all happened more than a year ago. They were all before he became the imperial party, and after he became the imperial party, there was none. He is not an upright and upright gentleman, at least not the likes of Xu and Sun.

Seeing Liu Tingyuan's fight, the courtiers immediately looked sideways at the good show. It seems that there is still a fight to be done in today's impeachment, and they all opened their eyes wide to watch the good show.

Cao Yubian was so angry that his beard was blowing out. Liu Tingyuan had a lot of excuses before he became an imperial party. After becoming an imperial party, what excuses does he have!Following the emperor, he still embezzles money?Without this most important point, like conniving servants and disorderly life, it is purely a matter of making up numbers, and it is not a big deal at all. What's more, after Liu Tingyuan became an imperial party, he has restrained himself a lot, even if there is any intervention After this guy became an imperial party, things like Yousi are nothing to worry about. The emperor ordered you to go to the emperor and choke you to death.

Yang Reform became amused. He originally wanted to give Liu Tingyuan a plea agreement, but he didn't expect that this guy was a little impatient, but he would mess around. That's good, let's talk about it.

"Cao Qing's family, Liu Qing's family said that he didn't remember the past, and asked if the Qing family had anything from the past one or two years. If so, he could tell Liu Qing's family." Still looking fair.

Cao Yubian blew on his beard for a long time, and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, I haven't been in the past one or two years, but it doesn't mean that the previous crimes can not be pursued. Your Majesty, I have evidence and witnesses!" Cao Yubian said immediately, Emphasize that you have evidence.

The ministers have also noticed that even Cao Yubian, who is known for his integrity, did not get Liu Tingyuan's handle for nearly a year or two. It seems that today's battle still has to be fought, and the winner will not be determined so quickly. .

"Okay! Cao Qing's family, this is the early court, not the Metropolitan Procuratorate, nor the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment. Even if there is evidence, why not call them here to testify?" Yang Reform said.The disadvantage of impeaching people in the early court is obviously that it is impossible for witnesses to go to the early court.

The situation on the court has brought Liu Tingyuan back a bit. Although he is still at a disadvantage, he is not down.

Although the situation has become unfavorable to Cao Yubian, Cao Yubian is not so anxious. He was blowing his beard before, but now he has calmed down more and more.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a bit out of place. Thinking about this Gate of Supreme Harmony, it is an important place to discuss state affairs. If anyone can come here, it would be really funny. Isn't this Gate of Supreme Harmony a vegetable market?" No two? Where is the face of the court?" Seeing that the emperor had the upper hand, Shi Fenglai immediately came out to stand up for the emperor.

"I report to Your Majesty, I also think that even if there is a witness, it should not be brought to the court and said. It should also be questioned by a minister, and then the case will be reported, and then His Majesty will make a decision according to the case..." The other imperial parties continued connect.

The ministers present also saw that the impeachment of Liu Tingyuan by the tax-paying faction today was to give the imperial party and the tax-paying faction a blow and kill the prestige of the tax-paying faction of the imperial party. The Tang Dynasty impeached him, and he was so tough that he didn't give the emperor any face.Well, obviously, the non-payment faction is obviously going to knock down Liu Tingyuan with a stick, and it is impossible to let the matter go on. The more it is delayed, the more accidents will happen.However, Liu Tingyuan also found a gap, saying that he didn't remember, and he didn't deny or affirm it. The imperial party then used the witness's inability to go to the court as an excuse, but it successfully delayed the matter.If Liu Tingyuan is not brought down today, if the judicial procedures are followed, obviously, he does not know when the case will be clarified. When is the delay? At that time, this matter will no longer be sudden. Whether it is the back road, Liu Tingyuan is brought down, or the benefits are vacated, there will be changes.The people present watched the show one after another, seeing what the tax-paying faction could do.

Yang Reform is funny, this Liu Tingyuan also has some quick talents, but he delayed the matter and didn't fall down on the spot. This ability is not bad.

All the ministers calmed down to see what the emperor had to say.

"Cao Qing's family, it is true that not everyone can come to this Great Hall of Supreme Harmony. The imperial court is also respectable. The Qing family should know this." Yang Reform said with a smile.

Cao Yubian looked confident, he snorted, and said: "Your Majesty, I will naturally know the court's laws and regulations, and I will not commit them easily. It is indeed inappropriate to let people go to the palace casually. This point, I am quite serious about it." I agree, the court is decent, and it really needs to be maintained, but the witnesses this time, are not ordinary people, they are qualified to go to the palace."

What Cao Yubian said shocked the people present, and there was a lot of discussion, is the witness still qualified to go to the palace?This, it has to be said, was quite a surprise, a blockbuster.

Yang Reform was also surprised. Those who are qualified to go to the palace are not only officials, but also people with fame. Could it be that this guy can still get a few officials to come out to testify?Then this is just... Yang Reform has to admit that if Cao Yubian can do this, then they impeached Liu Tingyuan today, and they themselves admit it, and they are convinced that they lost.

"I don't know who is the witness that Cao Qing's family said can go to the palace?" Yang Reform had to ask. When the matter developed to this point, Yang Reform knew that Liu Tingyuan was really doomed. , still have to prepare a second way for him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhang XX, the former head of the Ministry of Officials, and XX, the former head of the Ministry of Industry." Cao Yubian immediately mentioned the names of these two people in a loud voice.

"Hmph, how can a prisoner be qualified to go to the palace? Mr. Cao, could it be that the Supreme Harmony Sect has become a prison of the Ministry of Punishment?" Liu Tingyuan said still forcefully.

Everyone was still amazed that Cao Yubian had such great energy, and used the officials who committed crimes before as guns. They didn't know how much benefit he had promised those two guys, and they were surprised by Liu Tingyuan's toughness.

"Okay, Mr. Liu thinks that these two people are not qualified to go to the palace. Does Mr. Liu think that Mr. Li is qualified?" Cao Yubian continued to hit Liu Tingyuan with a cold voice.

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone exclaimed, besides the criminal officer, this witness also has an official in office, it is really amazing!These are not passers-by who buy vegetables in the vegetable market. Although it is difficult to use their official status to go to the hall, it is still reasonable to go to the hall as witnesses only with their identities. If you are entangled in the identity of the witnesses, it is obviously over. .This show is getting better and better.

When Liu Tingyuan heard this sentence, some of the energy he had gathered just now was gone. Now he realized why the emperor said he couldn't keep him. It seems that those who don't bring him to the ground today will not let go.

"... Your Majesty! I beg your Majesty to call this person to the palace. Your Majesty will know when you ask." Cao Yubian said immediately.

"Liu Qing's family, do you have anything else to say?" Seeing the situation at this point, Yang Reform was going to let Liu Tingyuan plead guilty by himself, so let's make a plea agreement.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I do know this person, but I don't think I have done anything shady." Liu Tingyuan said.

"Cao Qing's family, what do you think?" Yang Reform asked Cao Yubian again. It could be seen that Liu Tingyuan didn't want to just plead guilty like this, and he probably had his own ideas.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since Mr. Liu refuses to plead guilty, I suggest that Your Majesty call Master Li of the Ministry of Punishment to go to the palace. Your Majesty can ask clearly. It would be best to confront him face to face." Cao Yubian looked like he was sure of winning.

Bi Ziyan couldn't stand it any longer. If this continues, the emperor's affairs may be delayed.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to tell Your Majesty." Bi Ziyan interjected.

"Oh, what's the matter with Bi Qing's family?" Yang Reform asked.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is about the face of the imperial court. Can we postpone it? Now that the imperial court finally won a victory in Sanchahe, it greatly boosted my Ming's morale. In two days, it will be another contribution that my Ming has not had for many years." The Prisoner Ceremony is so important, if the imperial court reports that something happened to the Minister of War, it will be a big blow to the morale of our court! The Sancha River victory, this Prisoner Presentation Ceremony, will be a bucket of cold water! Your Majesty, even if Mr. Liu really committed a crime, I think it should be postponed, and this is definitely not the time to deal with it." Bi Ziyan expressed his worries.

"Your Majesty, I also agree with Lord Bi's words. It is really inappropriate to let the court be in turmoil at this critical moment, not to mention the Ministry of War. Today, the several great victories of my Ming Dynasty were all achieved during the tenure of Lord Liu. Lord Liu, no There are credits and hard work. If Master Liu is impeached like this at this time, what do outsiders think? What do the soldiers think? Master Liu, whom everyone wanted to get rid of, got rid of him, isn’t this playing into the hands of the Tartars?” People from the imperial party came out and began to plead for mercy, and began to show credit for Liu Tingyuan and show favor.

In this way, many ministers think it is good. At this juncture, it is reasonable to say that the Minister of the Ministry of War should not be mobilized. In addition to the fierce internal strife, it made the Tartars laugh out loud.

However, everyone knows that today's matter is regarded as a dispute between parties and interests. Even if the victory of the Sancha River and the sacrifice of prisoners are ahead of the important event, I am afraid that it will not be able to prevent it from happening. Many people shook their heads one after another.

"Hmph! Your Majesty, it is really hard for me to agree with Master Bi's words. Could it be that, as a censor, we must tolerate and raise traitors? Our responsibility as a censor is to correct and impeach all officials, so as to be the emperor's eyes and ears, why can't we impeach Liu Tingyuan? I also think it is not good to pour cold water on the great victory of Sancha River, but I have to impeach, this is the responsibility of the department, even if it is in the way, it is impossible." Cao Yubian said immediately, revealing his responsibility .

"Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Cao's words. We waited for the imperial censor to correct and impeach a hundred ministers. Is there any reason not to impeach? If so, your majesty might as well eliminate the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Immediately, someone came forward.

This time, the hall began to become chaotic.The tax-paying faction and the non-tax-paying faction of the imperial party pinched each other.

"...Your Majesty, I think Master Bi is right. No matter what, we have to wait until the prisoner offering ceremony is over. Otherwise, everyone in the world will look sideways..."

"...Your Majesty, Mr. Liu has committed a heinous crime. If he is not impeached as soon as possible, he will even endanger the court. Sooner or later, he will harm my Daming..."

"...Your Majesty, this is not the time to talk about this matter. If Master Liu is impeached, how will the people of the world think of me, Daming?

……

Those who supported it and those who opposed it came to the stage one after another to express their opinions, and what they said made sense.

One side has a problem with killing Liu Tingyuan, and must be impeached immediately, and Liu Tingyuan must go away immediately; the other side is about to present prisoners with a great victory, and it is not appropriate to move the Minister of the Ministry of War who has contributed to Sanchahe.

Yang Reform originally planned to let Liu Tingyuan make a plea agreement, but he made a mistake.Looking at the situation now, I also know that I have misunderstood some things.Looking at the situation, both parties are fighting to the death. I did not pay enough attention to this matter. I thought that I had divided and suppressed the party dispute. "Party struggle", because of the relationship between interests, the originally moderate fighting situation has reached a feverish level, to the point where fire and water cannot be tolerated.No wonder Liu Tingyuan was so stubborn and refused to admit defeat.Conceding defeat easily, fearing that the problem will be more serious, is not as simple as what I arranged earlier.

Yang Reform once again realized the horror of "Party Struggle".Fortunately, the current situation has been messed up to this point, but he can do some tricks to make it easier for him to be judged.

Yang Reform has realized some things. It seems that the method must be tougher, and it is not enough to always think about compromise and tolerance.Pressed with both hands.

The people who were still arguing immediately quieted down, looked at the emperor, and watched what the emperor said.

"Okay, gentlemen, everyone is right. Impeaching the censor is his job. This is true. But the captives are imminent, so we have to take the court's face seriously. The Sanchahe victory is my responsibility." The great victory of Ming Dynasty should not be smeared casually, even if Liu Qing's family is really guilty, it will be discussed after the prisoner offering ceremony..." Yang Reform is preparing for the holy order.Yang Reform also felt that the more moderate methods in the past may become more and more powerless.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is unfair..." Cao Yubian shouted excitedly, and because of the excitement of his voice, he also seemed a little trembling.

"It's not that I'm unfair, it's just that things have priorities. The Qing family impeached Liu Tingyuan. I never blamed the Qing family. I always thought it was right. However, compared with offering prisoners, this is considered trivial. I don't want to offer prisoners. During the process, if something unpleasant happens, I have to protect the face of the court, and I must also consider the blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers." Yang Reform took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to delay the matter.

Cao Yubian didn't know whether he was angry or excited, he was trembling all over.

"Your Majesty, you are unfair! Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to call witnesses to the palace." Cao Yubian shouted.

"Okay, Cao Qing's family, I know. Let's talk about this matter after the prisoner offering. After the prisoner offering, Liu Qing's family has committed any crimes. The Qing family only cares about impeachment. I will definitely listen to the Qing family." Yang Reform Said.

"Your Majesty! Please be clear, Your Majesty." Han Yu yelled and fell to his knees. This trembling figure seemed to be a sick patient.

"Please make a clear decision, Your Majesty!" Seeing Cao Yubian knelt down, those opponents immediately knelt down and shouted for a clear decision.

Yang Reform took a look, damn it, it's "AE" again, is there no other way?
The other ministers saw that someone put "AE", so it was difficult to say anything. They used the prisoner offering ceremony as an excuse to talk about it, but if they wanted to use this force to fight, it was too much, so they could only stand and see. Group of people make "AE".

The form on the court was reversed again.

Yang Reform's anger also came up. He worked desperately for the Ming Dynasty. These guys eat Ming Dynasty clothes, wear Ming Dynasty clothes, use Ming Dynasty clothes, and enjoy Ming Dynasty clothes, but they do things that harm Ming Dynasty. They will not stop until they push the Ming Dynasty into the abyss.

Yang Reform's temper suddenly exploded.

"Enough!" Yang Reform shouted, and stood up abruptly from the throne.

This loud shout was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and the hall was actually buzzing.Whether the person who made "AE" or the person who didn't make "AE" all quieted down in surprise, looking at the furious emperor.

The "AE" led by Cao Yubian was interrupted by the emperor's loud shout, and looked at the emperor in surprise. The emperor who had always had a good temper, why was the voice so loud this time?
The emperor who had always been gentle and kind suddenly lost his temper, which made many ministers unable to adapt, and there was a quiet scene in the court.

"Some people just can't see me winning battles, they just can't tolerate me having some achievements. I finally won a big victory in Sanchahe, so they stumble me, nails, and rub the sand. The world's major events, only soldiers and priests, Now that I have won the battle, what is more important than offering prisoners now? Can’t wait a few days? How urgent is the matter? Is Liu Tingyuan going to run or rebel?” Yang Reform shouted and said, The unhappiness in my heart yelled out loudly.

Everyone scolded the emperor for being stupid, but Cao Yubian didn't.Although he was a little surprised, the more the emperor scolded, the more he was a master who would not give up until he reached his goal. He immediately stood up and slammed into the pillars of the main hall, and he was about to die.

This collision frightened all the ministers, and everyone hurriedly stopped them.

I don't know if Cao Yubian was old and weak, or he was weak after kneeling for a long time, and he fell to the ground after only a few steps, without hitting the pillar.The surrounding ministers immediately pulled Cao Yubian back, pinching the people among them, shouting.

Yang Reform was furious. They made him mad with such a good temper, and even played a show of remonstrance to himself. If he had the ability, he would really bump into him. What is it to faint?Yang Reform cursed despicable in his heart.

However, Yang Reform also knows that if someone is really killed, it will have a great impact on himself. It can be regarded as ruining his reputation. If it is spread outside, he will be processed by others. A fatuous and unreasonable emperor who forced his ministers to death is himself. up.

The ministers were busy for a while, and finally rescued Cao Yubian, a guy in his seventies and eighties.

Cao Yubian woke up and stared at Yang Reform without saying a word.All the ministers also followed Cao Yubian and stared at Yang Reform without saying a word, ready to see what the emperor would do.

Yang Reform was so full of anger that he had no place to vent, and being stared at by Cao Yubian's dead fish eyes made him even more unhappy.

"Pass the decree, suspend Liu Tingyuan's position as Minister of the Ministry of War, and issue it after the investigation by the Secretary." Yang Reform was so stared at that he couldn't help but cursed in his heart. Now that he is "AE", it doesn't count. .Such fierce actions were aimed at dragging the Ming Dynasty into the abyss. It was really nothing. Seeing such an old man hitting a wall, Yang Reform still couldn't bear it, so he could only back down.

In the main hall, it was quiet. Everyone knew that in this competition, the faction that did not pay taxes took the lead temporarily. When the opera sang to this point, "seeing blood with swords and swords" almost became real.

The emperors were a little downcast and kept silent.

The opposition were all triumphant, looking victorious.

"Your Majesty is holy!" The opposition began to enjoy the fruits of victory.

Liu Tingyuan looked at the emperor, and then at Cao Yubian, who looked like he had eaten Cao Yubian very badly.

"Retire!" Yang Reform turned and walked out of the Supreme Harmony Gate.Leave a place shouting holy people.

……

After Yang reformed the Taihe sect, he calmed down, and the anger came and went quickly.This time I lost, but I can't always focus on this matter. Liu Tingyuan fell, and the position of Minister of the Ministry of War is vacant. Whoever becomes the Minister of the Ministry of War may have a fight. Hit the hand.

Yang Reform also had his own candidates, and he also delineated a few people to be elected by the opposition, and he also thought of some countermeasures.However, after today's incident, Yang Reform sighed again, there are few people around him who can be his advisers!Otherwise, where would there be such a quarrel with the ministers?It's really useless to ask those people to pour a basin of cold water on Sanchahe Dajie's head abruptly.

Yang Reform missed Sun Chengzong again, and hoped that Sun Chengzong would come back soon.

……

Shandong Confucian Mansion.

A man in his thirties was sitting in the study, staring at the desk in a daze.

This study is also a very core place in the Kong family. Usually, few people dare to disturb it.

Kong Yinzhi is the owner of this study and the owner of the Confucian Mansion. He is currently Yan Shenggong.

The words on the desk are very strange. The famous quotes and sentences that were not excerpted from that book are not words with profound meaning and long-term meaning, but the words "Yang Reform, Baidu".

Kong Yinzhi looked at these words intently. These words were sent from the capital. It is said that they were the names used by the emperor outside the palace.

"reform……"

"reform……"

Kong Yinzhi read and recited these words, looked and looked again, his brows tightened again, and he fell into deep thought.

The Confucian family has enjoyed wealth and honor for generations, and every dynasty and generation must offer up their family.But in today's Chongzhen Dynasty, the word "reform" made Kong Yinzhi feel a little frightened.

Opening the letter from the capital again, the letter was about the Confucian character dispute thrown by the emperor. Kong Yinzhi read it again and again, and his brows could not help but wrinkle even higher.

"People need?"

"People need?..."

In the study room, it was very quiet, only Kong Yinzhi whispered softly.

After reading it for a while, Kong Yinzhi seemed puzzled, so he put the letter back which he had read countless times, and picked up another letter instead.

This letter has already been read countless times. Judging from the texture of the paper, it is quite good, but if you look at the degree of wear and tear, it is quite amazing. letter.

Kong Yinzhi opened the letter, and the words in the letter shocked him even more, and his forehead wrinkled even more.

"...a century-old plan, education is the foundation..."

"...Now there are rumors in the capital that the teachings of the ancestors are contrary to the reality. The ideas of the ancestors are teaching and educating people, spreading the truth... Everyone has books to read. It must be a rare event. If the ancestors have knowledge, I must be pleased..."

"...As people ask, if everyone has books to read, can everyone be an official?..."

"...Does everyone have books to read? Is it a great event to carry forward my sage's ambition, or is it a problem that my Confucianism has to face? How many people are willing to study if they can't be officials?..."

"...If everyone in the world reads, how many officials should be..."

"...If everyone has a book to read, can my Confucianism still enjoy the respect it does today?..."

"...Why study?..."

Looking at these words sent from the capital, Kong Yinzhi only felt unspeakable horror all over his body. He never doubted that there would be problems with his ancestor's words.

But when the current Emperor Chongzhen came to the throne, he had to think about these issues. One after another, Kong Yinzhi felt more and more uneasy. Other families may not be as sensitive as theirs, or they may not care too much. , but his family is Yan Shenggong, he has to consider these issues?

Where to go?
