I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 173 Dilemma (please subscribe)

The entire lobby was immediately tense and full of gunpowder.

"The words of the First Assistant are wrong. In the past 30 years since Wanli, the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party have repeatedly suppressed us in their plans to seize the capital. As a result, most of the princes here have been dismissed by them.

Besides, when they were in court, could Chao Gang cheer up?It is said that Fang Congzhe, the former chief assistant, caused the defeat of Saerhu during his reign. He also recommended Li Kezhuo to Fenghongwan, which caused Guangzong's sudden death in the first month after he took the throne. "

Feng Congwu, the deputy censor of the capital, had a strong temper and hated evil. How could he endure Liu Yishen's suggestion?

He immediately stood up and refuted Liu Yishen, and became more and more excited as he spoke. Especially when he talked about Guangzong's sudden death, he couldn't help himself, and he was a little choked in his words.

"The late emperor was a kind-hearted man, and everyone knew that he was a wise choice. Within a month after he took the throne, he spent a lot of money, allocating 400 million taels of silver to support the government, and promoted ministers to help the government. He was a villain and a good minister. He never expected that he would be killed by Fang Congzhe, a traitorous minister.

Every time I think about this, I can't sleep at night. I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood. But I didn't expect that this traitor Xu had resigned and returned home early because he knew that he had sinned deeply. "

"Your Majesty also believed the slander and didn't care about it. However, all the gentlemen here were acquaintances of the late emperor when he was hiding in his residence. They were all promoted by Emperor Guangzong. How can we forget this grudge."

At the mention of this, everyone present choked up.

Shenzong was angry with the courtiers. The more the courtiers wanted to do something, Shenzong just refused to do it. So in order to get Shenzong to make Guangzong the crown prince, the courtiers and Shenzong fought countless times.

After finally ascending to the throne, Guangzong was also very happy to receive advice. Unexpectedly, he was killed by a "treacherous minister", which made them sad.

Feng Congwu's words resonated with everyone, and at this time Liu Yishui actually proposed not to impeach the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party. Wouldn't such an operation give others prestige? It was instantly unbearable for them. They didn't know what Liu Yishuo had hidden in his heart.

"Of course such a big revenge must be avenged, but I think Liu Shoufu asked to resolve the dispute. I don't know what his intentions are.

In my opinion, when Fang Congzhe became an official, he recommended Mr. Liu Ge as his first assistant. I am afraid it was not because of this kind of kindness that he would say this. "

Sometimes doubts and gaps will grow in an instant. The seeds of doubt were planted as early as when Fang Congzhe recommended Liu Yishen as the chief minister of the cabinet.

It's just that the Donglin Party was weak at that time, so he didn't care about it. Unexpectedly, when Liu Yishen was the chief assistant, he allowed His Majesty to train troops and went to dangerous situations in person. He was almost attacked by rebel soldiers, causing a catastrophe, and he was still in the Donglin Party. While trying to impeach Xiong Tingbi, he also tried to protect Xiong Tingbi.

There were so many things like this that after repeated incidents, Feng Congwu and others could not help but suspect that Liu Yishui was indulging in the eunuchs and colluding with the Zhejiang Party, and had already turned sour and separated from them.

Liu Yishen is still suffering and can't express his pain.Fang Congzhe had indeed helped him, but that could not mean that he was shielding Fang Congzhe. The emperor had already concluded the Hongwan case, so what was the use of bringing it up now.

It is also true that the emperor's military training is inappropriate, but the emperor's temperament is firm and cannot be explained in a few words. If he insists on having his own way, they will not be able to stop him.

Feng Congwu didn't have much contact with the emperor, so he didn't know the emperor's character. Ye Xianggao and the others didn't know either. The emperor's desire to re-appoint Xiong Tingbi had nothing to do with him. It was because the emperor valued him very much. It couldn't be easily refuted by the impeachment of a few officials. Besides, Xiong Tingbi has now won another battle, which is even more difficult to shake.

Therefore, when Feng Congwu opened his mouth to refute him, he was really speechless, but not all of them blamed Liu Yishen.

"Zhong Hao (Feng Congwu's word), you are too excited. His Majesty has already made a conclusion on the red pill case, and His Majesty insisted on using it for Xiong Tingbi. What's the use of this, Lord Chief Assistant?

Besides, I also think this suggestion is feasible.His Majesty's temperament is to focus on practical results, so if we use this to impeach the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party, it will not be good. It is better to do things in a down-to-earth manner, which is the basis for gaining His Majesty's trust. "

When Zou Yuanbiao saw Liu Yishen being attacked, the atmosphere became tense little by little, and he began to explain to Liu Yishen that now was indeed not the time to exclude dissidents. This was not recruiting enemies for Donglin.

"Indeed, Ji Hui (Liu Yishui's nickname) is prudent in his work, and his seniority in the cabinet is second only to Fang Congzhe, so Fang Congzhe is just doing a favor, don't misunderstand him.

Now we need to implement the law of farming and equalizing farmland and labor in Gyeonggi Province. We should really focus on implementing the new law. Too many impeachments are really not good. "

Even Ye Xianggao began to speak for Liu Yishui. Although he secretly made some small moves against Liu Yishui, he also knew the importance of equalizing the land and equalizing service, and knew that we should work together on this matter and avoid internal divisions.

There are those who agree and those who are opposed. Even with the support of Zou Yuanbiao and Ye Xianggao, there are still people who are not convinced. Even if Liu Yishen is classified as the chief minister of the cabinet, he will not be given face. Therefore, there are constant noises and arguments in the whole hall. So lively.

Liu Yishen was helpless. Even though he said that he had thought of the possibility of this outcome before, he still did not expect that the differences were so huge and the prejudice against him was so deep.

Sun Chengzong, who was supposed to be the protagonist of today's discussion, watched the quarrel between these people and sighed secretly in his heart.

Now we have to do such a big thing, but before we even take action, there is a quarrel inside.

He vaguely felt that if he did not impeach less and do more things as Liu Yishuo said, he would be afraid that the Zhejiang Party would catch him and His Majesty would be angry, and it would be too late.Seeing that the quarrel was getting more and more intense, Zou Yuanbiao, as the organizer, had no choice but to stop the argument and let Liu Yishen, Ye Xianggao and others go first. Seeing that the real owner had left, the others felt that this was not interesting. The farce ended happily.

"falling sedan chair"

With a long shout, eight sedan bearers wearing uniforms of the Ye Mansion skillfully parked the large blue cloth sedan in the sedan parking lot of the Ye University Scholar's Mansion.

An old chief attendant had been waiting aside for a long time. When the sedan stopped, he immediately stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the sedan and shouted respectfully:
"master."

Ye Xianggao slowly got off the sedan. His mansion was located in Shajia Hutong, not far from the imperial city. He bought it when he was the chief minister during the Wanli period.

After entering the mansion, he did not rest. He went directly into the study, asked someone to light a lamp and make tea, and told the housekeeper to bring him directly to the study if anyone came to see him.

Ye Xianggao sat on the Taishi chair, with one hand on the armrest and the other hand tapping the document with his fingers. He closed his eyes and began to think intently.

He felt more and more that things were starting to get out of control. He had been the sole prime minister in the Wanli Dynasty for seven years, had deep authority, and had a high reputation within the Donglin Party.Therefore, when he was recruited to the capital again to join the cabinet, his ambition was not limited to being a cabinet minister, and he did not think highly of Liu Yishui.

After making adequate preparations and arriving in the capital, he first took the initiative to close the relationship with the emperor and gained the emperor's trust by playing chess with the emperor frequently. At the same time, he also knew that the emperor's biggest concern was the battle in Liaodong.

He had already prepared for this move. Didn't the emperor want to defeat Jianlu? Based on his understanding of his student Wang Huazhen, he knew that this person was as talented as Xiong Tingbi.

So I thought of encouraging Yanguan to get Xiong Tingbi down, but I never expected that the emperor trusted Xiong Tingbi so much. Xiong Tingbi lived up to expectations and won a great victory, and his status was now solid.

Ye Xianggao could only say it was a pity when he saw this, but this small setback could not stop him.This plan didn't work, so he had to think of another way.

Therefore, there was the scene where officials were encouraged to kneel at the Meridian Gate, and if they continued to throw dirty water on Liu Yishen and Xiong Tingbi, the emperor would definitely be furious. At that time, he would pass the responsibility to Shen Guan, causing a drama of party unity and opposition.

But before the matter was completed, Zou Yuanbiao wanted to use the farming to implement the method of equalizing land and labor.Ye Xianggao, who was a staunch supporter of Xu Minshi, naturally agreed readily.

Now is the right time, place and people to implement the new law, and there are reasons for the powerful officials to hinder the farming. The teachers are famous, the emperor is forge ahead, and the cabinet also wants to do it. The biggest obstacle in the capital is that the noble power suffered a big blow last year. , the obstacles will be much less, and now with the great victory in Liaodong, the authority of the imperial court will be greatly increased.

Therefore, he felt that this matter was very likely to succeed, which also gave him other thoughts. He thought of putting aside dealing with Liu Yishui for the time being and implementing the new law first, and then making plans.

But he had already shot the arrow, so he couldn't just stop. Although he didn't want to deal with Liu Yishen, the officials and censors he encouraged were all jealous of evil, so how could they give up.

So now he is in an extremely embarrassing situation. He can no longer stop the game he has made, and he feels a little trapped in a cocoon.

Even if he is now moved with emotion and reason, how can these officials who only accept death and logic agree to it? They are probably on their way here now.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

After a while, under the leadership of the housekeeper, Feng Congwu, the deputy censor of the capital, Zhong Yuzheng, the minister of Taisi, and Wei Dazhong, the official of the Ministry of Industry, walked in.

Before Ye Xianggao could raise his voice, Feng Congwu's questioning voice had already arrived.

"Mr. Ye Ge, you are also aware of Liu Yishuo's fault. Aren't you very sad when he told us about it that day? Why did you speak out in support of Liu Yishen during the debate in the academy today? What kind of situation do you want to put us in? Or what kind of drama is Mr. Ge doing? Humph~"

Hearing the questioning, Ye Xianggao was speechless. After all, what Feng Congwu said was reasonable.He inspired others to take action, and some were even arrested by Dongchang.

At the critical moment, he suddenly said that he wanted to do something big and asked Feng Congwu and the others to be patient. This was unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally.

"Zhong Hao, please don't get angry. It's just that the situation has changed now. Compared with the implementation of the law of equalizing land and equalizing labor, it is not impossible to postpone the matter against Liu Yishen. We still put the overall situation first."

When Ye Xianggao said this, Wei Dazhong, who was in the Ministry of Industry under the seat, was furious when he heard this.

"Why would Mr. Ye Ge say that? Hui Shiyang and others are still in prison. If they stop, what will they do? Wouldn't their sacrifices have been in vain?"
