Chapter 207: Verbal War
The imperial examination system was once implemented in the court, which seriously damaged the interests of the family gatekeepers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fortunately, with the mediocrity of the emperors of the past dynasties, the ministers joined forces to abolish the imperial examination system and keep the glory and wealth of the major families.
Now that Yang Yue is proposing to revive the imperial examination system, he can't help but dig into the corners of the wall, and he wants to cut off the long-term interests of the military family.
These officials of military families will never allow this kind of thing to happen.
At this moment, many officials of the military family are focused on Yang Mingkun, waiting for him to make a choice.
Returning to their hometown is one of the important means for them to persecute the emperor and refuse to change.
On the dragon chair, Yang Mingkun heard the sound, and his heart was angry, but his face did not change, and he commanded loudly: "Li Minhao, go down to the future, for Lord Xue, Lord Wang, handle the handover."
Hearing this, Xue Mingkun, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and Wang Xun were taken aback, they only threatened the emperor, and they never really left the court at all.
Although the change will harm their interests, staying in the court will also bring many benefits.
"Your Majesty, We're a Minister, We're a Minister....." A gentleman's word, a quick horse, Xue Mingkun, Wang Xun wanted to go back on their word, but there was no excuse.
With a gloomy expression, he was invited out of the court by the eunuch!
However, Yang Mingkun's attitude became strong, and he stood up directly from your dragon chair and supported his hands on the dragon case. The tiger looked directly at the hundred officials, and asked: "Who else, who else is going to return to the hometown, Yu Wenshi, He Hengrui, are you also going to say goodbye to the old and return to the hometown?" ”
"The emperor is Mingjian, Weichen has no such intention!" Yu Wenshi hurriedly stepped out of the queue and hugged Chao Wat to explain.
"Yes, Weichen doesn't mean that!" He Hengrui also defended.
Although the companion is like a tiger, but in the court, they hold great power, call the wind and rain, leave the court, at most the old man who is dying, the difference between cloud and mud, Yuwenshi, He Hengrui, how can it be unclear.
"Yes, if you return to your hometown, report in advance!" Yang Mingkun's anger did not subside, and he warned Yu Wenshi and He Hengrui.
For a moment, they were as quiet as cicadas, and they defended again and again.
Resignation and coercion, there is a precedent for the Huangmen Shilang and Zuo Shizhi, among the ministers, no one dares to coerce the old man to return to his hometown.
However, this does not mean that the ministers have compromised on the matter of reviving the imperial examination system.
When there was little silence, Liu Zuoyang, the head of the household department, stepped out of the ranks, hugged Chao Wat and said: "Your Majesty, it has been proved that the implementation of the imperial examination is unreasonable.
Among the untouchables, most of them are people who steal chickens and touch dogs, even if there are a few scholars, carp jumping into the dragon gate and entering the court, they still can't wash away their gangsterism.
Introducing them into the court will not only fail to solve problems for the emperor, but will also cause chaos in the court! ”
If it is said that the fertile land will be confiscated, and there will be commercial interests to make up for it later, Liu Zuoyang can accept it for the time being.
However, he categorically cannot accept this three-middle system, otherwise, the family inheritance will be seriously jeopardized.
"Lord Liu, what do you mean, what do you mean among the untouchables, there are many people who steal chickens and dogs, and there are no scum in the military family, if you dare to deny it, if you thoroughly investigate Wei Changkong's corruption and fraud, believe it or not, a large number of scum will still be involved in the family.
What's more, General Wei Qingwei was also born in a humble background, and he still established military merits, making the Han Dynasty prosperous. A waiter of the Ministry of Rites stood up and sharply retorted to Liu Zuoyang.
According to his status, he can be regarded as a representative of low-level officials.
"What His Royal Highness King Yan said is true, Lord Liu's words are biased!"
"Your Majesty, the old man impeached Lord Liu and insulted the low bureaucrats!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
………..
Suddenly, many low-level officials came out one after another to express their dissatisfaction with Liu Zuoyang's words!
Almost Yang Yue retorted, and Liu Zuoyang's words had no place to stand.
For a while, Liu Zuoyang's face was red, but he was still unconvinced, and said: "Could it be that what the official said is wrong, even if there are outstanding people among the untouchables, however, the sudden opening of the imperial examination and the martial arts examination will cause a large number of officials to pour into the court, which will inevitably form a redundant official phenomenon, resulting in a slowdown in the speed of government decrees, how will this harm be dealt with?" ”
The phenomenon of redundant officials, many low-level officials could not respond, and they retreated silently.
It's time for Yang Yue to stand up and say, "Lord Liu, not to mention the change of officials, there will be no redundant officials. Even if the phenomenon of redundant officials is formed, the court will refer to the law of survival of the fittest and eliminate all those who occupy the pit and do not, how can it be redundant? ”
Hearing this, Liu Zuoyang's face became more and more ugly, and I have to say that among the officials of the family, there are indeed many black sheep, who have obtained ordinary official positions by virtue of the family's residual shadow, but if they are all eliminated, it will inevitably cause the interests of each family to be weakened.
Liu Zuoyang stood up again, ignored Yang Yue, turned to Yang Mingkun and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen does not support the reform of His Royal Highness King Yan, if it continues like this, it will inevitably cause chaos in the court and turmoil in the hearts of the people. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
…………
At the critical moment, if we don't join forces, Yang Yue has elaborated on the fourth strategy, and the emperor has decided to change, and the wood is already in the boat, and the overall situation will not be changed.
Therefore, after Liu Zuoyang expressed his attitude, there were more than 20 officials in the court, Zhongshu Ling, Zuo Servant Shot, Liubu Shangshu, and in Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province, who served as various kinds of waiters.
hugged Chao Wat and resolutely refused to change.
On the dragon chair, Yang Mingkun looked at it, his expression was very ugly, he glanced at Yuwenshi, He Hengrui and others, turned to the prince and the princes, and said, "Prince, King Qin, what do you think!" ”
"Father, what Liu Shangshu said is true, rash change, and it is unfavorable, the son dares to ask his father to be cautious, don't make a rash choice." In the prince's words, he leaned towards Liu Zuoyang, but he never directly refused to change, and he was also preparing a way out for himself.
For a while, among the hundred officials, some officials were dissatisfied with the prince's words, if the prince showed his attitude and bluntly refused to change, it would inevitably affect the emperor's attitude, but unfortunately the prince's words were ambiguous.
At the same time, King Qin also stood up, his words were concise, and said: "The sons and daughters are martial artists, they don't understand the affairs of the court, and they don't dare to speak rashly. ”
King Qin's attitude, the hundred officials are not surprised, among the princes, King Qin is the most supportive of the emperor, and it is expected that he supports the emperor in the matter of change.
For a while, all the officials focused their eyes on the king of Chu.
A large number of low-level officials gathered around the king of Chu, although they did not break into the core decision-making circle, they still formed a lot of strength in the court.
Previously, the king of Chu expressed his dissatisfaction with the change.
In today's court, if the king of Chu refuses to change, then there will be a situation in which officials of all sizes in the court and the central government resist change.
Even though the people outside the officialdom are calling for change, inside the officialdom, Yang Yue has a strategy for change, and the emperor has the heart of change, so he still can't implement change.
Forced change will create a situation where no one is available to us. (To be continued.) )
