Chapter 1044: Impeachment (3)
(Xie: Violet Eternal Flower Q, the reward of pressing the galaxy, Xie Jianwu's 3,000-foot ticket.) )
The old fox is the old fox, and this is not leaky. seems to be extremely generous and self-reproachful, an image of thinking about the court and having the courage to take responsibility is about to come out. If you don't know it, you're afraid that you will be greatly appreciated.
Guo Chong nodded and said, "That's right." In this way, Lu Aiqing, I will punish you for half a year, which can be regarded as a punishment for this matter. In the future, Aiqing should be more cautious and thoughtful. Lin Jue, what do you think of this? ”
Lin Jue sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Since the emperor can forgive, what else can the lower officials say?" I hope Lu Xiang can learn a lesson. caused such serious consequences, and the emperor only gave such a light punishment, Prime Minister Lu, if I were you, I would definitely be grateful and grateful for the emperor's grace. After that, if you don't serve the court with all your might, is it still a human being? ”
Lu Zhongtian's face changed, and he scolded angrily in his heart. This guy spoke rudely, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and he lost face today. But fortunately, this guy didn't dig deeper, otherwise, his other purpose was to attract the emperor's attention, which would not be a good thing. The reason why he provoked the rebellion of the bandits was that he hoped that after the rebellion, Guo Xu would go to quell the rebellion and gain credit, so as to increase the decisive weight for the position of the prince. If this matter is known to the emperor, I am afraid that my head will not be saved.
Guo Chong breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Lin Jue would bite to the death, but now it seems that Lin Jue is still measured. However, at the thought that Lin Jue had impeached the other two people, Guo Chong's scalp began to tingle again.
"Your Majesty, the second person to be impeached by the minister is the privy envoy Yang Jun. The minister impeached Yang Jun for improper use of the corpse, and also made a major mistake in counterinsurgency. Lin Jue didn't give everyone a chance to breathe, and pointed the finger at Yang Jun again.
Yang Jun was different from Lu Zhongtian, with a nonchalant smile on his face, he said loudly to Lin Jue: "What does Lord Lin mean is that my prime minister and privy envoy of the Great Zhou are incompetent?" Then replace you, Lord Lin, as the privy envoy. Don't think that if you make a small contribution, you can't live forever. I am not inferior to you at your age, and I have already led the army to fight against the Tangut people several times. I have more scars on my body than you do, and you're pointing fingers at me, aren't you? The rules of my Da Zhou are messed up now, and anyone can point fingers at the court. Your Majesty, the minister suggested that this person be blasted out, and he is not qualified to point fingers here. ”
Guo Chong smacked his lips and before he could speak, Lin Jue sneered: "Yang Shumi is such a big official." Our Great Zhou Dynasty has always attached great importance to the smooth flow of speech, and no matter how big or small the officials are, they have the right to make speeches. With your Yang Shumi's words, you will cut off my Da Zhou's words? If the impeachment of the lower officials is improper, it will be dealt with by the laws of the imperial court, and it will not be the turn of Yang Shumi to convict the lower officials. If Lord Yang wants to talk about qualifications, it is nothing more than to take your affairs in Western Xia. But in my opinion, what's the brilliance of that? Could it be that Yang Shumi was proud of the 'extermination order'? ”
Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose their shortcomings when scolding. Lin Jue didn't care, as soon as he opened his mouth, he stabbed the other party's weakness, and directly took the extermination order out to talk about it. You know, this is where Yang Jun has been criticized for so many years. It has been many years since anyone dared to say anything about the extinction order in person, and they were all afraid of Yang Jun's retribution. Today, Lin Jue stabbed straight at the point, and many people felt happy in their hearts, and secretly sweated for Lin Jue.
"You! Good, good, good! Yang Junqi's face was flushed, and he said a few good words.
Lin Jue said unrelentingly: "If Lord Yang is unhappy, there is no way, I am not afraid of offending Lord Yang." The lower official is not Yang Xiu, and after saying a few words, he was pressed in the storytelling office of the Chongzheng Hall for more than ten years, and the dignified first-class jinshi made him even more depressed than the small officials. If anyone does this to me, I won't shut up. ”
Yang Junqi was almost like thunder, he understood that Lin Jue was angry with him because of the death of Yan Fang and the others. Originally, although he and Lin Jue were not harmonious, he was also a person who supported him. The guy suddenly bit back like a mad dog, and it looked like he had already put everything on the sidelines.
"Your Majesty, take a look. Lord Yang is my privy envoy of the Great Zhou Hall, and he also has the grace of recommending Lord Lin. Lord Lin is so sarcastic and ridiculous, it is really unseemly. Jumping up and down like this, without a superior officer, ungrateful, really can't stand it. Wu Chunlai said angrily on the side.
Lin Jue smiled at Wu Chunlai and said, "Vice Minister Wu, you can lift me." Speaking of ingratitude, as far as I know, there is one man in this dynasty who is much more powerful than me. I don't dare to accept such a test, with that person, it is not my turn to be ungrateful. Vice Minister Wu should know who this person is, so I don't need to name him. ”
"Poof!" Someone in the hall couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Wu Chunlai was extremely annoyed, followed the sound and looked at it, and saw a group of serious faces. The man reacted quickly, his face was already solemn, and he didn't know which one knew the details of the ridicule.
"Lin Jue, if you have something to say, why do you have anything else? Don't be rude! Guo Chong frowned and shouted. Lin Jue's performance today was extremely aggressive, and he seemed to put everything aside, except for impeaching the two important ministers and Guo Xu, the ridicule and ridicule in his words were undisguised, which made Guo Chong very unhappy in his heart. He was already a little angry.
Lin Jue bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the reason why the minister impeached Lord Yang is because Lord Yang committed a major mistake in this counterinsurgency. Minister, may I ask the Emperor and my lords, what is the duty of the privy envoy? ”
Guo Chong frowned and said, "Do you still need to ask?" The Privy Council is in charge of military affairs, and the Privy Envoy is naturally the chief officer of my Great Zhou and the affairs related to military affairs. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Yes, even if it is said, the privy envoy is in charge of the army, and in the event of a rebellion and war, the privy envoy must make countermeasures, mobilize troops and horses, appoint generals, allocate grain and grass materials, and engage the enemy." Yes and no? ”
"It should be so." Guo Chong frowned.
Lin Juedao: "The major affairs of the country of soldiers, the important ministers of the country in charge of soldiers, once the chaos arises, the Jiangshan Sheji will rely on the strategic planning of the privy envoy to dispatch troops to calm the situation, so the responsibility is extremely heavy. If the privy counsellor is incompetent and inadequate, it will have very bad consequences, yes or no? ”
Guo Chong finally couldn't help it, and shouted in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, what circle are you going to do with me?" What exactly are you going to say? ”
Lin Jue bowed down and said, "What the minister wants to say is that when the Qingjiao rebellion was quelled this time, the privy envoy Lord Yang made a major mistake in the deployment of troops and generals. The Qingjiao rebellion broke out, and overnight Jingxi Road fell into the hands of the bandits, and the five counties in the north of Beijing also fell, which is enough to show that the bandits are powerful. As the privy envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when he judged the situation and knew about the situation, he should understand that it was not trivial to quell the rebellion of the bandits. In this case, it is reasonable to send heavy troops to go. But what did Yang Shumi do, he actually dispatched two princes to lead the army, and simply regarded the counterinsurgency as child's play. His Royal Highness the King of Jin does not know military affairs, and everyone knows it. Although His Royal Highness King Huai has led soldiers and horses to fight in border towns, as far as the ministers know, it is only the rank of captain and has participated in several small conflicts. It can't be regarded as a leader who has fought at all. In this case, it is necessary to ask the two princes to lead the army to fight, which has to be said to be a child's play with unclear vision. The serious consequences that followed, and several major setbacks in the counterinsurgency, were related to this incident. Can't know how to make good use of people, and treat such a major matter related to the stability of the society as child's play, isn't this a dereliction of duty on the part of Yang Shumi? ”
Lin Jue's words were bright and clear, and there was no room for refutation. All the words are reasonable, at least on the surface.
Yang Jun stood there frowning, not knowing how to respond for a moment. This matter is said to be his responsibility, and he does have an unshirkable responsibility. But under the circumstances at that time, it was Lu Zhongtian who proposed to let King Huai lead the army to quell the rebellion, and the emperor nodded and agreed. I just wanted to balance it out, and suggested that the eldest prince also lead the army to the Pingjing Northern Rebellion. And he actually made preparations, and equipped the two princes with several good generals as deputies. In Yang Jun's opinion, even if the eldest prince Guo Mian does not understand military affairs, the second prince Guo Xu cannot be regarded as the best candidate to command the soldiers and horses, but with the help of the strong and the crushing of the strength, the counterinsurgency is not a big problem. But who would have thought that the resistance of the bandits was unexpected, and there were indeed twists and turns in the middle, resulting in the death and injury of many soldiers of the forbidden army.
No one mentioned this matter because of the complete victory of the counterinsurgency, and it was impossible for Yang Jun to take the initiative to summarize the matter and admit his mistake. Unexpectedly, he was shaken out by Lin Jue today. The crux of the matter is that Yang Jun is still speechless to refute, it was the emperor's board, and he just followed the emperor's wishes.
Lu Zhongtian didn't dare to say anything, this matter was originally related to his provoking the Qingjiao rebellion. He provoked the rebellion of the Youth Sect in order to let Guo Xu lead the army to quell the chaos and earn a vital contribution. If he stood up and spoke at this moment, it would be tantamount to igniting the fire that had just been extinguished in him. Lin Jue didn't know what to say in his mouth, and Lu Zhongtian didn't want to stir it up again, so he lowered his head and was silent.
Guo Chong sat on the throne and frowned, he naturally understood that this matter had little to do with Yang Jun, it was something that he agreed to at that time, and the root of it was himself. The problem is that Lin Jue's impeachment is justified, and if he doesn't come out to speak, Yang Jun will have to bear this responsibility. Can he still punish Yang Jun?
"Lin Jue, what are you talking about...... Kindness...... I know that. Logically speaking, your words are correct. But...... This thing...... There's a reason for that. That's it...... Let's put it bluntly, I agreed to this matter, and my purpose is also to let Guo Mian and Guo Xu lead the army to have a good experience. Didn't the rebellion of the Youth Sect also subside? I see, you don't have to dwell on this matter, okay? Guo Chong said in a soft tone, and there was a hint of pleading in his words.
Lin Jue sneered: "I see, it turned out to be the emperor's permission." The emperor did this, but he gave the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. If something goes wrong, I don't know how many people will die. Did the emperor admit that he had made a mistake? ”
