Chapter 312: False Accusations
"Wow......"
As soon as this holy decree was recited, almost everyone was in an uproar, and almost everyone looked at Zhu Youxiao who was sitting on the dragon chair with disbelief.
Bonched...... Is this a bonus?
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the titles were divided into five grades, respectively, the prince and the prince, and the old Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang estimated that there were too many titles to be divided, so the two titles of viscount and baron were removed, and only the three titles of the duke, the marquis, and the uncle were retained, and the provisions of "all lords who are not for social and military merits shall not be sealed, and the title shall not be given for special purposes".
And there are two kinds of these titles, one is only granted to a certain person, and the court will take the title back after death. The other is that it can be hereditary, and Lao Tzu can be passed on to his son when he dies, and his children and grandchildren can pass it on. The difference between the two is that the former only has a holy decree, and the latter has a special Danshu iron coupon from the emperor in addition to the holy decree.
But I don't know what's going on, the descendants of the old Zhu family have strange personalities. There are mediocre and shrewd, and there are chaotic, but the people of the old Zhu family have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely stingy about such things as knighthood, basically after the Yongle period, the people of the old Zhu family rarely give people knights, and in the late Ming Dynasty, there was not even a knight. But this convention was broken today, and a guy who had just fought in the Fengtian Hall was knighted, and for a time the hall was full of broken glasses.
"Your Majesty...... This is absolutely unacceptable! ”
Immediately after the shock, more than a dozen officials stood up and spoke out in unison.
One of the officials in a scarlet robe said loudly: "Your Majesty, the knighthood is a major event, and the title should not be rewarded indiscriminately, please think twice about it!" ”
All the officials said in unison: "Please think twice, the emperor!" ”
Even Gu Bingqian, the head assistant of the cabinet who was standing in the first place, also showed a look of surprise, Zhu Youxiao's actions today were really beyond his expectations, in his opinion, Zhu Youxiao rewarded Yang Feng for his meritorious deeds today, and a general who had just made such a great contribution naturally wanted to reward him after returning to the court.
Although the Ming Dynasty pursued a policy of emphasizing literature over military force, it was the most important military merit. These days, Gu Bingqian has also read Yang Feng's contributions in recent years, it can be said that each item is clear and clear, and people can't ignore it, but in Gu Bingqian's opinion, Zhu Youxiao is at most named Yang Feng as the left governor or the right governor or a dragon and tiger general, but he didn't expect to be crowned an earl at once, which is a big trouble, you must know that the current Ming Dynasty has not given people a knighthood for more than a hundred years.
Looking at these officials who spoke in unison, Yang Feng was tired for a while, everything has not gone well since he came to participate in the early dynasty today, these civil officials are targeting him one by one, it was just impeaching him before, and now he has to oppose even a knighthood, how much do these people hate him?
At this moment, Yang Feng suddenly understood why Zhu Youxiao's grandfather, Emperor Wanli, could not go to court for decades, feeling that the behavior of these civil officials was really disgusting, they were like a swarm of flies, as long as they stared at a person, they would rush over as if they didn't care about it, as long as it was this person's business, no matter what it was, their first subconscious reaction was to oppose it first. It is strange that the Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of such a group of people and did not perish.
I wanted to defend it, but Yang Feng didn't know where to start, and after sighing lightly, Yang Feng couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it seems that today's title is a little hanging, but a scene that surprised Yang Feng appeared, Zhu Youxiao, who seems to be easy-going on weekdays, has an unusually resolute attitude today, and I saw him say categorically.
"I've made up my mind...... Zhu Qing doesn't need to say much, Yang Aiqing has made great contributions to the country, except for being knighted, I really can't think of any way to commend Yang Feng's merits. Taizu once said, "All lords cannot be sealed if they are not for social and military merits, and they cannot be given for special purposes", Yang Feng broke the Jiannu several times when he first entered Liaodong, and killed Baylor before the battle and severely injured the old thief Nurhachi. A few days ago, he even offered potatoes as a divine object that can be said to save countless Li people, if such a merit cannot be knighted, Gao Panlong, you, the Zuodu Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, will tell me, what kind of merit can be knighted? ”
Hearing this, Yang Feng knew that the old guy standing at the front turned out to be the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was a rather awesome position, a proper second-grade officer. In the future, it will be a high-ranking official in the middle of the discipline and a vice-state-level boss.
Rao is Gao Panlong opposed Yang Feng the most fiercely, but he couldn't help but be a little speechless for a while, only to see him groan for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, the minister admits that Lord Yang has really contributed to Da Ming. But His Majesty has also seen it these days, so many officials are impeaching Lord Yang, and the minister thinks that he should be thoroughly investigated, and it is not too late to reward Lord Yang after returning his innocence, so that Lord Yang will not have to bear those infamy, what do you say? ”
"yes......"
"Your Majesty, what Lord Gao said is extremely true, there are so many excerpts to impeach Yang Feng at the moment, Your Majesty should investigate it thoroughly first, and then reward him after the thorough investigation is completed."
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
As Gao Panlong's words fell, another group of officials echoed on the side.
"Huh...... That's why you're here? Zhu Youxiao was all happy.
Yang Feng was also disgusted by Gao Panlong's strange reason, where did this old guy named Gao Panlong come from, Yang Feng can only use the word "carrot spicy" to describe it. Don't look at what this old guy said seems to be quite reasonable, it seems that it is really for his own good, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand that Yang Feng, who really wants to listen to him, will not be knighted in his life.
The excerpts of the impeachment of Yang Feng can now be piled up into a basket, and if you really have to wait until it is clear, I am afraid that he will not be able to find out if his grandson is born, let alone reassure him of his innocence, Gao Panlong said this for only one purpose, that is, not to let him be knighted.
But don't say it, Gao Panlong's strange reason was approved by many officials, and for a while, dozens of officials and imperial historians bowed down and shouted: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”
"You ...... You ......"
Zhu Youxiao didn't know what to say for a while, and for a while, the atmosphere in the entire hall became silent, and many civil officials sneered and looked at Yang Feng who was standing on the spot. Even if you have a lot of achievements, what if you are just a martial artist, we can mix up your good things with a little trickery, and you want to be knighted? Let's go in the next life!
Just when Zhu Youxiao's face was getting more and more blue, a voice rang out violently: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book!" ”
Zhu Youxiao saw that the voice came from the column on the right, this is where the military attaches are, and it is Yang Feng, this guy actually has a plan to start?
Everyone in the hall was stunned for a while, Yang Feng actually had a plan to play? The reason why everyone was surprised was not that Yang Feng was not qualified to play, but that Yang Feng was a military attaché, and on this occasion, military attachés rarely knew how to go to the book, and they rarely intervened in this kind of national affairs, so over time, the military generals on the right were reduced to decorations in the court, and the reason why they were allowed to go to the court was only because the ancestral system was so, otherwise if the court was full of civil officials, I am afraid that the emperor would not be able to sleep at night.
Lu Jianshen, who had broken a finger, although he was in a cold sweat at this time, still insisted on going down, and at this time, his eyes when he looked at Yang Feng were already full of resentment, and after hearing this, he sneered: "Oh...... General Yang also has a book, so it is better to read it out and let everyone listen to it, maybe you can also learn a thing or two. ”
"Hahaha......"
There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and the sarcasm of Lu Jianshen's words was too obvious, he was clearly ridiculing Yang Feng, a martial artist, I am afraid that he will not even be able to write a fold.
Yang Feng took a deep look at Lu Jianshen, this guy is like a poisonous snake, last time in Nanjing because of Cui Chengxiu, Yang Feng had already let him go, I never thought that he would intensify several times to put him to death, it seems that it is necessary to attack this guy.
After seeing Yang Feng's substantial killing intent, Lu Jianshen only felt a chill all over his body, and the sneer on his face froze, and he turned his head a little unnaturally when he stopped laughing, not daring to look at Yang Feng.
"Yang Feng, do you have any chapters to present?" Zhu Youxiao also asked curiously.
After retracting his gaze, Yang Feng pointed at Gao Panlong and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach this Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and fornicated with his own niece, how can such an obscene person who does not know etiquette, righteousness and shame be in a high position in the temple, please ask the emperor to expel this person from the court to correct the court!" ”
"Boom ......"
Yang Feng's words were like a bomb dropped into the main hall, the entire hall was like a pot, almost exploding, and everyone stood on the spot as if they had been struck by lightning. Who is Gao Panlong? He is the founder of the Donglin Party, and has always been known for his honesty and integrity, and his reputation is also well-known in the Donglin Party.
"Yang Feng, you are spewing blood!"
Gao Panlong, who has always been known for paying attention to appearance, trembled all over, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, pointing at Yang Feng's right hand and shaking uncontrollably, his body was also shaky and about to fall, and the two officials next to him hurriedly supported him.
Zhu Youxiao's expression also became serious, and he said with a calm face: "Yang Aiqing, you must have solid evidence for what you say, otherwise falsely accusing a minister is the same crime as what you are telling." ”
"Same sin? Not necessarily, right? Yang Feng sneered: "Your Majesty, Weichen remembers that not long ago, Gao Panlong complained to Weichen in front of the Manchu Dynasty that he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy. He also sued Weichen for building armaments without permission, and was suspected of intending to rebel. So dare to ask Your Majesty, if falsely accusing a minister is the same crime as the things he was accused, if Weichen did not rebel, then will Master Gao also be taken down for the crime of rebellion? ”
"This ......" Zhu Youxiao stopped for a moment before he said: "This is different, Gao Panlong is the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he has the right to hear about it, so naturally he doesn't have to be convicted." ”
