Chapter 278: Impeachment (Part II)

But today, it seems that the result is much better than I imagined, there are so many courtiers who oppose Yang Chendong, in this way, once the time is right, the eradication of this person should not attract too much opposition and instability in the court.

Under Zhu Qiyu's gaze, with a hint of encouragement, the imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory performed as best they could. Especially Dong Chunhua, the left deputy capital, is performing extremely hard. From his mouth, the loyal and courageous man seems to have become a cancer, the embodiment of evil. If this person is not punished, I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty will not see the light and hope.

In the recital, Yang Chendong was not only degraded as useless, but also emphasized the friendly relations between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, and any courtier who played a bad role in the diplomatic relations between the two countries should be punished for serious crimes. And in order to express the Ming Dynasty as a sign of friendship, the former Japanese envoy Aoki Yuki who was imprisoned should be released, and so on.

Dong Chunhua's proposal was quickly supported by more officials. To say that Kimura Yoshida has really spent a lot of money for a while, and most of these people who stand up and speak have received their benefits before, so this meeting is naturally to do their best.

The situation in the court meeting was one-sided, and Yang Chendong, the loyal and courageous man, was said to be a grain of rat, as if it was because of his appearance that Daming was ashamed. At this moment, most people seem to have selectively forgotten who stood up to retreat from the enemy when the Warat army forced the city.

Hu Hu didn't speak, Wang Zhi didn't speak, but in such a stormy situation, the silence of the same Shangshu didn't play much of a role. On the contrary, some people thought that they were scared and wanted to protect themselves, and then they intensified their accusations, and some even proposed that the loyal and courageous public apologize publicly and bombard the fiefdom.

A public apology is Yang Chendong's admission that he has done something wrong, and in this way, the prestige and popularity accumulated over the days will be dealt a major blow, and even the reputation of Yangjia Bank will be greatly affected.

If this is indeed done, the efforts of more than a year will be almost completely buried at this moment. In this way, it can be seen that the people who made this suggestion have a vicious heart.

Bombarding back the fiefdom of Jianning Mansion in Fujian is tantamount to kicking Yang Chendong out of the center of power, if this is the case, it will be difficult to turn over, maybe he can only be an idle grandfather in the future, and it will be difficult to get involved in the specific things and future direction of the Ming Dynasty.

The two suggestions, like two sharp swords, pointed directly at Yang Chendong's two ribs. If all of them are passed, the consequences are conceivable.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. After all, the loyal and courageous prince saved Yingzong, if he is allowed to leave now, it will be pushed outward, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Hearing that his grandson-in-law had left Jingshi, Hu Hu, who had been silent, was surprised, and finally couldn't hold back anymore and stood up.

For the sake of his grandson-in-law, he even proposed the name of Yingzong Zhu Qizhen in court, which in itself is a bit disrespectful. It's just that after all, he is an old minister of several dynasties, and he is an important minister who was activated when Yingzong was in power, so it is reasonable to say this.

"Yes, please think twice, Your Majesty." The king of the Ministry of Ministers was surprised, but also stood up and seconded the proposal. If you admit your mistakes today, you can get your face back tomorrow through other things, but once you leave here, it will be difficult to turn over, and you may really be depressed.

Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was indeed a little moved when he heard the advice of the ministers below, thinking that if Yang Chendong could really leave the Jingshi, then he would have the opportunity to slowly turn these industries into his own use, and even achieve the goal of trade with the mercenaries. I especially remember that when Jin Ying went to discuss business cooperation with Leng Feng, the leader of the mercenary corps, on behalf of him, the other party said that as long as the loyal and courageous prince was in Beijing for one day, this right would not be transferred.

But what if he was let go? Isn't your chance coming? Thinking that if he can replace Yang Chendong, it is likely that he will go to the next level both commercially and militarily, how can he not be excited.

But this heartbeat, as Hu Hu and Wang Zhi stood up, it was declared in ashes.

Not for anything else, just because today's Ming is no longer the Ming Dynasty that centralizes power on the emperor alone, but there is one more Nanming, and the emperor's brother Zhu Qizhen is located in Nanjing. If he drove Yang Chendong away, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to driving him into the arms of the imperial brother. Once this person is obtained, who knows what earth-shattering things this imperial brother will do?

At the same time as a shock in his heart, Zhu Qiyu did not dare to let Yang Chendong leave without enough certainty. made a decisive decision at the moment, "Okay, although the loyal and courageous prince is wrong, he will not be wrong." In this way, Dong Aiqing went to Yangjiazhuang and asked him to apologize publicly in order to appease the anger of the Japanese envoy. Also, in order to show the sincerity of my Ming Dynasty's friendship with neighbors, the Japanese envoy Aoki Yuki, who had made a serious mistake before, can also be released, just to remind him to check his behavior in the future, this is the Ming Dynasty, and he must not kill indiscriminately. ”

The emperor still didn't mean to blow Yang Chendong away, and chose to take a step back. It is inevitable that some courtiers will be disappointed in their hearts, but in any case, this time Yang Chendong can be forced to apologize publicly, with this beginning, he can slowly figure it out in the future, and it will not be easy to break through his fortress.

"Your Majesty." All the ministers seemed to have thought of this, and immediately praised Zhu Qiyu's wisdom. When he retreated from the court, Dong Chunhua, the left deputy capital of the Criminal Department, went straight to Yangjiazhuang with great fanfare.

With a red light on his face, Dong Chunhua was excited and excited at this time.

There are so many courtiers, and there is still Shangguan Chen Yi on the imperial history platform. But in the end, the matter was still in his own hands, doesn't this already show the emperor's trust in himself and the imminent reuse? Thinking that when he finally saw the ladder of the second-grade official, Guangzong Yaozu was right in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile and laugh.

"Master Dong stays." That is, when Dong Chunhua had just left the palace and was about to walk to the street, there was a shout behind him. As soon as he turned around, a flattered expression appeared on his face, "It turned out to be Lord Yi, Lord Yu, Lord Jin, and Lord Shi." ”

I can't help Dong Chunhua not show such an expression, suddenly the four Shangshu are all here, and it is still for him, how can such a scene not make people excited?

On the official field, the hierarchy system has always been very strict. What kind of officials can come together, what kind of official positions can talk and laugh together, that is very particular. For example, a second-rank official would never disdain to openly talk and laugh with a person who is not as good as him, that will only lead to a loss of identity.

But now, the status of the four senior members of the second grade, especially under the premise that the cabinet has disappeared, will only be higher than before. They came forward in unison, how could they not excite Dong Chunhua, who only had a third-grade official rank.

The four Shangshu walked in front of Dong Chunhua together, and first looked at this person with appreciation, and the fact that it would not take long for everyone to do it equally. It is because they see the strength of this person in this matter, and the possible reward, that they deign to come here.

Among the four scholars, the first to speak was the military department Shangshu Yiming. Maybe it's because of Yang Chendong's appearance that he has stolen too much of the limelight from the military department, and he is also the person who hates the loyal and courageous man the most. "Master Dong, are you going to Yangjiazhuang to announce the decree?"

Dong Chunhua bowed and said, "Hui Yi Shangshu's words are exactly like this. ”

"Oh, but I don't know what Lord Dong is going to do?" Yi Ming asked with an expression he had guessed a long time ago.

"Of course, the emperor's will has been read." Dong Chunhua has an expression that you know that this is a consultant. But after saying this, I found that the four of Yiming all had serious faces, and suddenly thought of something, "What?" The four Shangshu adults think that the loyalty and courage dare to resist the will will not succeed? ”

As soon as the words came out, thinking of Yang Chendong's young and promising behavior, as well as his past behaviors, his expression suddenly became flustered. Others dare not resist the decree, but this loyal and courageous man who has made great contributions is really not good.

"Not necessarily." Yi Ming shook his head slightly. Although Yang Chendong is bold and reckless, in the final analysis, he is still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and he may not really dare to do something as big as resisting the decree. Of course, if he really dares to do this, it is to take the initiative to give people a handle, so that there are thousands of tricks to clean him up.

Seeing that Yiming vetoed it, Dong Chunhua's heart was relieved, and at the same time, he couldn't help asking, "Even if you don't dare to resist the order, what else is there to worry about?" Is it worth the four Shangshu lords to remind the lower officials? ”

"Hehe, we're here to warn. I don't know if Master Dong has thought about it, that is, he wants to let Zhonggong admit his mistake, of course, the bigger the movement, the better, but the court meeting has just ended, presumably the rumor has not yet spread, so let him admit his mistake so early, wouldn't it be cheaper for some people? Hubu Shangshu Jin Lian had a smile on his face, and he looked very familiar with Dong Chunhua.

"Expand your reach!" The person who can become the deputy imperial history of Zuodu himself is naturally extremely smart, and after this reminder, he quickly thought of something, and then his eyes showed surprise. I just thought of embarrassing Yang Chendong, and I just happened to show off my might. But it is to forget, even if you let the other party admit your mistake, you can also make a fuss, how to admit this mistake? To what extent and what kind of impact it will have can be artificially manipulated.

Thinking of this, Dong Chunhua couldn't help but sigh at the sophistication of the four scholars, and his face also showed a look of humbly asking for advice: "The lower officials are dull, and I also ask the four scholars to teach me." ”

Seeing that Dong Chunhua understood what everyone meant, Yi Ming and the four of them laughed, and then said: "Lord Dong said it like this, if we don't give a little advice, wouldn't it be impossible to say it?" In this way, the trouble is big, why don't we find a place to arrange it and plan it well? ”

The proposal was quickly well received. Soon, the five of them left the imperial city with the people in the palace talking and laughing, and went straight to a nearby restaurant.
