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

Chapter 296 What’s the matter with your love?

On April 5, the third year of the Ming Dynasty, the sky is clear and cloudless.

In the palace, Wenhua Hall.

Nearly half a year has passed since the last time the ministers discussed matters.

Many ministers have not seen Emperor Tianqi for a long time.

"I heard that someone impeached Ye Xianggao for ten crimes, including disrespecting the emperor and forming gangs."

"Hey, can you believe Wei Guangwei's words?"

"Wei Zhongxian is just a bitch."

"But this time, I heard that the eunuchs are fully prepared and want to kill all the cabinet ministers in one fell swoop."

Listening to the discussion of his colleagues, Shi Kefa stood in the middle of the team, his hands folded and his sleeves silent.

Jiang Yueguang, who was standing behind him, raised his head and looked at the empty throne. He slowly took a step and walked to Shi Kefa's side, the two of them side by side.

"Xianzhi, you're coming here with bad intentions!" Jiang Yueguang has always been tactful and quite popular among the courtiers, but today he was also frowning and a little restless.

"Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou have just led their troops and set off. People in the capital are uncertain. Something like this happened again. It's such a troubled time!" Shi Kefa also shook his head. He didn't like Ye Xianggao and had no feelings for Sun Chengzong, but as Zongfang said that day It is said that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Sometimes, the same scholars always have a common hostility towards the eunuch party.

cough cough cough.

Someone in front coughed.

"Mr. Miao Shan," Shi Kefa and Jiang Yueguang bowed to the former.

As a veteran of three dynasties, Zhang Shenyan was quite prestigious in Donglin. He lost the power struggle with Ye Xianggao and left Beijing to serve as the censor of Henan Province. He had just returned to the court for less than a month.

Now that Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian are gone, they can be regarded as the only remaining Donglin bosses in the court.

"We need to be prepared for today's matter. Even if Ye Jinqing is in love with power and stabs Donglin in the back, we can't let the eunuchs completely destroy the already crumbling court!"

"Don't worry, sir, students understand!" Shi Kefa and Jiang Yueguang bowed together.

On this matter, everyone in Donglin has actually reached a consensus - put aside their prejudices and fight against the eunuchs together!

Jiannu was extinct, and the battlefield had been transferred from Liaodong to the imperial court!

"The Emperor is here!"

While everyone was discussing in low voices, singing suddenly came from the side door.

For a moment, everyone remained silent and bowed their heads.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!!"

blah blah blah.

The emperor's footsteps sounded from far to near in the hall.

Shi Kefa knelt on the ground, listening to the footsteps, and felt some inexplicable emotions surge in his heart - the emperor was so far away from him, and now it was time for him to show off his talents. This may be the only opportunity in his life!

Shi Kefa's fists were clenched tightly, and you could even hear the sound of slight bone friction.

However, if Wang Qi were here and saw such a scene, he would probably just sneer and say: He died heroically, which can be praised, but it is far from being called a capable minister.

"Everyone loves you," Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, was in a good mood. He glanced around and said before the ministers could stand up, "Why don't you see Ye Gebu, Mr. Sun and others?" "Back to Your Majesty," like a double act, As if he had practiced it many times, Wei Zhongxian who was standing aside heard the sound and immediately bowed and replied: "Mr. Ye Ge, Mr. Sun, and Mr. Wang have all been impeached and are thinking about their mistakes behind closed doors."

When Wang Huazhen smashed Xiao Guizi to death in Wenyuan Pavilion with an inkstone, the next day, Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong tacitly wrote a letter to think about their mistakes behind closed doors.

Don’t argue, but don’t resign either.

One word, wait.

"Hey," Zhu Youxiao chuckled and said, not knowing what he was thinking of, "You do have some self-awareness!"

Upon hearing the emperor's words, among the ministers in the palace, some frowned and were dissatisfied, some were secretly happy, and some had nothing to do with themselves.

"Is there anything you can report today?"

Wei Zhongxian stepped forward and asked everyone in the hall.

At the same time, the eunuch governor had already set his sights on Gu Bingqian - according to the plan, Gu Bingqian was the first to impeach Ye Xianggao and others.

cough!
  With a clear cough, Gu Bingqian held his head high and prepared to fight the first battle of his rise beautifully!
  But before he left, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs suddenly had a blur in his eyes.

"Your Majesty! I have something to report."

Tian Zichang from the Ministry of War was the first to speak. At the same time, he took a step sideways and bowed to the emperor on the throne.

"Mr. Tian, ​​you" Gu Bingqian saw that his performance was being ruined and he immediately wanted to stop him.

"Three days ago, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting left the capital, but the troops and supplies of the Ministry of War were not yet ready. Today, Mr. Sun, the Minister of War, is waiting behind closed doors. I believe that military and state affairs should be given top priority and should not be neglected for other matters. Please The emperor has decreed that Master Xuan Sun will come to court to discuss matters!"

Tian Zichang was born in Liaodong. He practiced martial arts for quite some time before passing the Jinshi examination. When he spoke, he was so energetic that he completely drowned out Gu Bingqian's voice behind him, which made everyone in the hall ring in the ears.

"This matter." When Zhu Youxiao came today, he was ready to oust everyone in the cabinet. Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin jumped out halfway. He was caught off guard and knocked on the armrest. He didn't say anything for a long time.

"Master Tian!" Wei Guangwei was obviously thinking fast. Seeing that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, he took advantage of his plan and immediately opened his mouth and said:
  "Wouldn't Sun Chengzong be able to handle the matter of soldiers, horses, money and food without him? Without him, wouldn't Ye Xianggao be able to mobilize food and grass? At this time, the imperial court has its own rules and regulations. You, the Ministry of War, are in charge of the matter. If you stand up at this juncture, you must Who are you supporting? Who is behind you? Did Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong instigate you?"

After being slapped with a hat, Tian Zichang did not panic at all. He first apologized to the emperor on the throne, and then turned to Wei Guangwei and said: "So that Mr. Wei will know that Pingyang Mansion has been occupied by thieves for more than twenty days. Pu The prefecture and county have been occupied for more than a month. The longer the time goes by, the more serious the casualties will be among the people in southern Shanxi. At the beginning of spring, the world will be desolate and the population will not survive. By then, can the people of Shanxi Road come to you, Mr. Wei, for help?"

"People, what are you doing with me?" Wei Guangwei was choked and his voice stuttered.

"Okay," Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and finally stopped the quarrel: "This matter is urgent, so we will hand it over to Zhang Aiqing of the Ministry of Rites and Cui Chengxiu, the imperial censor, to handle it as soon as possible!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Wei minister leads the order!"

When Zhang Shenyan's name was suddenly called, he could only step forward to receive the order.

Shi Kefa and Jiang Yueguang, who were standing behind, looked at each other: Not good!

"So now, is there anyone left to play?" Wei Zhongxian looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

"I have something to report!"

Gu Bingqian almost followed Wei Zhongxian's words and stood up.

Plop, knock one first!
  "What's wrong with you, dear?" Zhu Youxiao leaned forward and looked at Gu Bingqian.

Today is the beginning of expelling the Wang Qi Group from monopolizing power in the imperial court!
