Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 166 Who is the most popular person in the world?

Emperor Tianqi suddenly issued an edict at this time and summoned the cabinet and Donglin people to the palace to meet the saint.

The reason is beyond speculation for the moment.

What on earth is the emperor thinking?
  "Sir, would you like to come with us?" Wang Tiqian turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Pei Jie, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, pressed the sword with his right hand and waved his left hand lightly. In an instant, the entire Imperial Guard Guards took a step back in order and gave way to the doorway of Chengtian Gate.

Against the backdrop of the extremely gloomy sky, the Chengtianmen entrance looked extremely eerie, like the mouth of a man-eating beast.

In front of Chengtian Gate, the heavy rain was still pouring down, and the atmosphere had become subtle.

Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong nodded to each other and walked forward together. They also wanted to know what the emperor wanted to do this time.
  "The three of us are entering the palace." Liu Yijing had calmed down at this moment. She pushed away her colleagues who were supporting her on both sides and turned to look at the Donglin Party members who were following her. Her tone was decisive: "But don't leave. Go and wait at the gate of the palace until I leave the palace. We will discuss the next step!"

"Don't worry, sir!" Wu Xiuwen, a student at the Imperial College, ignored the rain all over his body and bowed deeply to Liu Yijing: "We are right here, waiting for you to leave the palace!"

"We are waiting for you to leave the palace!"

Outside Chengtian Gate, everyone worshiped and expressed support for Mr. Donglin.

It was raining heavily, the sky was low, and the water curtain had been hung in front of the corridor of the East Pavilion. The sound of splashing made people upset.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, his eyebrows knitted together on his forehead, his face full of sadness.

"Your Majesty, several members of the cabinet and Nanjing ministers have arrived," Wei Zhongxian spoke softly and reported to Zhu Youxiao.

call.
  A deep voice came from his throat, and Zhu Youxiao said after a long while: "Ask them to come in."

"Xuan, grand scholar Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong come to the palace!"

"It is announced that Liu Yijing, the Minister of Nanjing, Gao Panlong, the Minister of Rites of Nanjing, and Zhao Nanxing who stayed in Nanjing will go to the palace!"

In the east pavilion of the Palace of Qianqing, all ministers were present.

"I have no choice but to disturb the palace gate. I hope your majesty will atone for your sins!" Zhao Nanxing stood beside Liu Yijing and bowed down together.

"Your Majesty, Liu Yijing, pays homage to our emperor!" Liu Yijing knelt on the ground with a sad expression, almost choked with sobs. It was as if he had walked all the way from Nanjing, and the grief, anger and anger accumulated in his heart were all seen when he saw Zhu Youxiao. At this moment, he burst out: "Long live my emperor, long live! I am still alive to see your majesty in the Qianqing Palace. It is really the protection of the late emperor! The blessing of the ancestors!"

The words "the emperor's blessing and the ancestor's blessing" directly made Zhu Youxiao's face darken.

This is obviously a reminder to Zhu Youxiao that the fourteen emperors of the Huangming Dynasty and Ming Dynasty are all in the Ancestral Temple. You, Zhu Youxiao, cannot risk the disapproval of the world and let the military ministers become the masters of the court!

Ye Xianggao and others on the side also looked at Liu Yijing with some worry, fearing that the young emperor would be impulsive and ask Tingwei to drag him down and kill him with a cane.

There was no expected questioning, nor did he hear the angry voice calling Ting Wei. On the throne, Zhu Youxiao just stared at the sad and angry Liu Yijing, without saying a word, just listening silently.

This scene is like the old Wanli Emperor when he was questioned by hundreds of officials.
  "Your Majesty, please speak frankly!" Seeing that Emperor Tianqi did not speak, Liu Yijing stopped being polite and began to ask questions directly: "Wang Qi has made contributions to Liaodong and to the imperial court. This is not wrong, and I also admit it. However, he is arrogant and arrogant, maintains favors, maintains private soldiers, and kills ministers. He will never be tolerated by the court! Especially when the country is in unrest, we must beware of military ministers causing rebellion! Didn't your Majesty see that in the late Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns held military orders and respected themselves? What happened? Don’t you see people like An Lushan wreaking havoc on the country?”     “What’s more,” Liu Yijing stood in the palace, exuding confidence and light, and the pouring rain outside the palace seemed to be a foil, making Liu Yijing’s His momentum grew higher and his voice became louder: "Wang Qi has not yet been blamed for the death of He Tianyou of the Bing Bei Dao. Now, Han Xu, the dignified minister of the cabinet and a great scholar, died in Jizhou Prefecture. How did he die? Haha, The memorial of Duke Lang said that he died at the hands of the rebels? Where is the body? It was burned, and where are the witnesses? They were all soldiers under his command!!"

"I dare to ask, can the court recognize such so-called evidence? Can the people recognize it? Our ministers can recognize it!??" Liu Yijing's voice suddenly rose: "He Tianyou died yesterday, Han Xu died today, what about tomorrow? I Are the civil servants going to be killed by Wang Qi one by one on unfounded charges, and become the ones who deserve to die for what Wang Qi did?"

"At that time, Your Majesty will be surrounded by those eunuchs, those military ministers, and those actors and actresses!" Liu Yijing almost faced Emperor Tianqi in a questioning tone, and finally said eight words: "No If Wang Qi is killed, how will the country be safe? How will the world be safe?"

Boom.
  Bursts of rolling thunder came from the distance, causing the dragon candles in the entire hall to shake violently. In the interplay of light and shadow, Liu Yijing stood there, her figure seemed to be extremely tall.

Finally, on the throne, Zhu Youxiao, who had been silent, finally spoke: "I only have one question."

"Your Majesty, it's okay to say so!" Liu Yijing's eyes were bright and clear.

"Without Wang Qi, the army of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty is raging, the rebels in Jizhou Prefecture are attacking the city and setting fire to it, and the Horqin Mongolia are watching with eager eyes. When the time comes, who will lead the army on the expedition, you Liu Yijing? Or Gao Panlong, or Zhao Nanxing?"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Sun Chengzong and Ye Xianggao: "Or, you two?"

Facing Zhu Youxiao's question, Liu Yijing opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

Come on, the rain curtain hangs outside the hall, making the inside and outside of the hall seem like two worlds.

Stillness and movement, coldness and warmth, making the atmosphere even more eerie.

"When it comes to military and political matters, I am far inferior to Duke Lang," Ye Xianggao spoke first and saluted the emperor.

"When it comes to war planning, no one in the imperial court can match Duke Lang!" Sun Chengzong also replied.

"Huh?" Zhu Youxiao turned his head and looked at Liu Yijing: "Master Liu, I would like to talk about it."

"The main force of the Hou Jin Dynasty has been wiped out, so it's not worth mentioning! The rebels in Jizhou Prefecture are mainly pacified by the Beijing camp, and it has nothing to do with Wang Qi; as for Horqin, although Wang Qi went deep into the grassland and formulated the alliance," Liu Yijing raised his head, as if The unyielding fighter: "However, it is still debatable whether it is worthwhile for him to be good at formulating decrees and launching trade!"

Zhu Youxiao almost fainted from Liu Yijing's words. He picked up the memorial on the table and threw it towards His Highness: "He is hopeless! He is terminally ill!"

"Using the party to fight against state affairs!!"

At the last sentence, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his trembling fingers and almost pointed at Liu Yijing's nose and cursed.

"Your Majesty said that I was using the party to quarrel with the state affairs." Liu Yijing shook his head and pointed in the direction outside the palace: "Your Majesty, open your eyes and go take a look. The people kneeling outside Chengtian Gate are the people of the world. !”

"The people's hearts in the world?" Zhu Youxiao smiled. He remembered what Wang Qi and Han Xu said when they were arguing: Those who share the same path are the people's hearts, and those who have different paths are the ambitions of wolves.

How ridiculous?
