My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 585 The dust has settled, the beginning of the court reshuffle

Wang Lin's gaze was like a knife, and he looked at Chen Zixuan coldly.

His deep and indifferent gaze also looked around at Zheng Lan, Minister of Rites.

Gongchao, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

Dong Haoda, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Peng Zhengning, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Jiang Wanhai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments.

Chen Zixuan blushed, kowtowed on the ground and said in mourning, "Your Majesty, how dare I question Your Majesty! I just questioned that Jin Yiwei used His Majesty's banner to fabricate crimes and frame the great Confucian scholars of the dynasty. This is to shake the foundation of my Great Yan Shilin Ah! Your Majesty!"

Gong Chao and the others also knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting for you! After Cheng Gong became the master of Luo Xue, Cheng Hao, he has been a great Confucianist for many generations, and his reputation has moved the world. No matter his knowledge, talent or virtue, he is the world's leader. The Crown of Scholars!
How can such a nearly semi-holy existence do such an evil deed that destroys human relations?Your Majesty, please think again, and hand over the case from Jinyiwei to the Third Judicial Department to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and restore Cheng Gong's innocence! "

Peng Zhengning, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, acted the most violently, as a disciple of the Cheng family, he had close contacts with the Cheng family in Luoyang, and was also an in-law, so he grabbed the land with his head, his forehead was covered with blood, and he said with emotion: "Your Majesty, this is an unnecessary crime! The minister and other six people are willing to lead more than a hundred officials from the six ministries, as well as scholars from all over the world, to protect Chenggong!"

Wang Lin sneered, then looked at Dong Haoda and Jiang Wanhai and said calmly: "Dong Haoda, Jiang Wanhai, what do you two think?"

Dong Haoda and Jiang Wanhai kowtowed to the ground: "My ministers wait for second!"

Wang Lin looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

For a long time, he fell silent.

Wang Lin thought that moving Cheng Yuanjing would cause turmoil in the court, but he didn't expect that more than 100 people from the six imperial courts from independent officials to ordinary middle and lower officials appeared, and in the form of intimidating the Zhengshitang to make concessions, Zhang Yuanjing head.

At this time, Wang Lin not only felt extremely angry, but also felt deep fear.

If he hadn't been prepared, if he hadn't had countermeasures, otherwise he didn't know how big a huge wave would be.

Wang Lin looked coldly at Chen Zixuan and the other six, his anger couldn't be contained.

This is the chief official of the six major yamen of the imperial court, a second-rank official, second only to the prime minister of the cabinet, but these people are actually ignoring the emperor's face and the court's dignity for a Cheng Yuanjing.

This made Wang Lin realize that his control over Dayan Chaotang might be just an appearance.

These officials in the DPRK and China, regardless of the old and new parties, are inextricably linked with Cheng Yuanjing, a great foreigner. If Cheng Yuanjing turns his back on him, then... the consequences will be disastrous!
In an instant, endless murderous intent rose in Wang Lin's heart!
Standing in the hall, Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi pierced into the sky, and the murderous intent emanating from him had spread throughout the hall. Li Gang and the others were taken aback, and quickly prostrated themselves to the ground together with everyone. !"

Wang Lin's murderous aura was beyond words, if he hadn't been the bullshit emperor of Lao Shizi now, and wanted to take care of the so-called overall situation, he really wanted to kill the six Chen Zixuan and the more than a hundred courtiers in the roaring Zhengshitang outside with his sword!

Dayan is full of talents, and the most important thing is people. People who want to be officials, are they afraid that no one will be officials?

Zongze, who had the most fiery temper, also realized the seriousness of the problem. He kowtowed heavily on the ground, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Chen Zixuan and other six ministers have made noises to force the court to remonstrate with the court. This crime cannot be lightly pardoned! I think that this matter should be released immediately." The six people were expelled from the palace and fined for one year, as a warning to everyone else!"

Although what Zong Ze said was to punish Chen Zixuan and the other six, he was actually protecting them.

Compared with the danger of beheading, what is a one-year penalty salary?
Wang Lin sneered and remained silent.

However, after people like Li Gang Zongze got in the way, the anger in his heart subsided a little, but his sanity still recovered.

It is impossible for him to really kill all the chief officials of these six ministries and the hundreds of courtiers outside.

After all, if this is the case, the court of Dayan will definitely be in turmoil, and he will definitely be reviled as a tyrant by scholars all over the world.

Wang Lin took a deep breath to soothe his emotions.

He said indifferently: "Chen Zixuan, you keep saying that Cheng Yuanjing is a great scholar in the world, with unparalleled virtue, and cannot violate the laws and criminal laws of the country. You also accuse Jinyiwei of investigating the courtiers' private affairs, and even slander Jinyiwei Luo Zhi to frame someone Cheng. What do you say? , I listen to every word and every sentence in my heart!
It doesn't matter, I can talk to you one by one.

Why did I order Jin Yiwei to detect the courtiers?You really don't know?Or are you pretending to be confused?
Since the founding of my country, Great Yan, I and the imperial court have treated courtiers generously, far surpassing the former Song Dynasty and all previous dynasties.

More than half of the revenue in the treasury was spent on courtiers and officials.

The salaries that Dayan gave you are more than twice that of the former Song Dynasty, and I also gave you high salaries to support Liantian.All of you are eating fat, your face is full of oil, and you are living a wealthy life like a master. Who gave all of this?
It's the imperial court!It's me!

For this reason, I cut down on clothes and food, streamlined the harem, and I publicly promised that throughout my life, I would never spend my harem through private drafts.I even donated the money saved by my nephew to Yenching Academy to expand its enrollment.

You people, ask yourself, which one of you doesn’t have a lot of wives and concubines, and a vast area of ​​fertile land?

I just hope that you can know how to be grateful, grateful to the court, grateful to the community, and grateful to the people who support you.

Therefore, not to mention dedicating yourself to death, at least you must serve the public wholeheartedly, fulfill your duties, take the salary of the imperial court, and do some serious things that are beneficial to your family, country, and the world, right?

But what have you all done?
I didn't expect that I haven't done anything to Cheng Yuanjing yet, the case has not been completely closed, and I said that all the evidence will be released later, but you are so impatient to break into the palace and threaten me, you But do you think my sword will never see blood again? "

Canglanglang!
Wang Lin drew his sword out, the sword was shining brightly, and he held the Tianzi sword, pointing at Chen Zixuan and the other six kneeling at his feet: "You think that the law does not punish the people, and that I dare not touch you?"

Chen Zixuan and the others were terrified, their hairs stood on end.

They suddenly remembered that the founding emperor of Dayan in front of him was the world's most powerful general who killed countless people.

Li Gang knew that the emperor was really angry, but based on his understanding of the emperor, the more the emperor was like this, the more likely he would not really kill someone.

The emperor wants to kill Chen Zixuan and the six people, so why draw his sword to bluff and frighten them?
Back then in Tokyo, at the Golden Luan Hall, in front of the former Song Emperor Zhao Ji and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Wang Lin drew his sword and defeated the new champion Qin Hui.

Li Gang felt relieved instead.

Li Gang quickly exchanged glances with Zong Ze and the others, and decided to wait and see what happened.

Wang Lin took the sword back to its sheath, at this time Chen Zixuan and the six of them were already sweating profusely, and [-]% of their three souls and seven souls were frightened away.

"Although I did not shout the slogan of governing the world with the literati and bureaucrats like the former Song emperors, I have extremely delegated power to the cabinet and to the various ministries of the court. The power to govern the world, except for military matters and the appointment and dismissal of officials above the third rank I seldom get involved in government affairs, is this true?

Therefore, the power of the courtiers of Dayan is actually far greater than that of the former Song Dynasty.

But who will supervise the courtiers, not to take bribes and pervert the law, and everyone to act impartially?Is it the cabinet?or me?
Things in this world can’t be done without rules, and without the power of supervision, they will expand infinitely. It’s not long since we established our country, and the disadvantages have not yet appeared, but in time, if the courtiers lose supervision and supervision, corruption will become commonplace, and the country will not survive. country!

That's why I set up Jinyiwei to police the world and supervise Dayan's bureaucratic system!But Jin Yiwei is only responsible to me for the investigation.There is no way I can do this.The so-called public life is clean and honest, if you are sincere and selfless for the country, as long as you are not corrupt and depraved, endangering the family, the country and the community, why are you afraid of Jin Yiwei's investigation?
The power in your hands is the most important weapon of the country, and Jin Yiwei is no different.Supervising each other, restraining each other, and defending the world, this is my idea, no matter whether you openly oppose it or express it secretly, I will unswervingly do so.

Anyone who doesn't want to be supervised by Jin Yiwei can say it bluntly here, I will allow you to beg for bones. "

Wang Lin looked around everyone with indifferent eyes.

Chen Zixuan and others remained silent.

Just as the emperor said, the imperial court treated all the officials generously, and it was impossible for them not to be under a little supervision.

Jiang Wanhai suddenly said: "Your Majesty, what if Jin Yiwei is corrupt and perverts the law and acts recklessly?"

"National law is at the forefront, and the hearts of all civil and military officials are like mirrors. If Jinyiwei does illegal things, are these officials and admonishers in the court a bunch of fools? I hereby promise that Jinyiwei, as a law enforcer, will If you break the law, you will be punished!"

Wang Lin smiled coldly: "If you have no doubts, this matter is over, and I don't care about myself. However, the evidence of Cheng Yuanjing's crime is solid, and he himself has signed a confession, which is already a firm case. You guys If he wanted to reverse the case for someone Cheng, he would have to humiliate himself!

Xiaoyi, order someone to bring Cheng Yuanjing and related witnesses and evidence! "

……

Fengtian Temple.

Cheng Yuanjing, Xue Qiang, Zhang Shiru and other criminals and Zhang Kui, Zhou Ziyan and other witnesses were all taken to the palace, all the evidence was complete, and Jin Yiwei had turned the case into an iron case that could stand the inspection of the third division.

The officials of the three judicial divisions have repeatedly checked and confirmed that they are correct.

The key issue is that Cheng Yuanjing has been convicted of the crime, and he confessed his guilt in front of Chen Zixuan and other six chief officials and more than a hundred officials of the six departments, and is willing to accept the court's punishment.

Chen Zixuan and the others had earthy faces.

More than a hundred courtiers who looked at Cheng Yuanjing were even more dumbfounded.

They never dreamed that Cheng Yuanjing turned out to be a hypocrite hiding under the surface of the water, and Xue Qiang, the main envoy, nailed his biological mother to death with iron nails. Once the truth of such an inhuman tragedy is exposed, not to mention that Cheng Yuanjing will be ruined , Even the Cheng family in Luoyang should be ashamed of it!
Wang Lin sneered and remained silent.

The truth has been revealed to the world, and the most embarrassing thing now is Chen Zixuan and other six books.

Their original intention was to use this case to reverse the case for Cheng Yuanjing, and by the way, suppress the emperor's minions, Jin Yiwei.

However...the premise for them to do all this is that Cheng Yuanjing was really wronged.

It's a pity that the evil Cheng Yuanjing did was far beyond what Chen Zixuan and others could have imagined.

Wang Lin's eyes were like knives, and he looked at Deng Pinzhong, the censor who presided over the Yushitai, and said: "Deng Pinzhong, from the perspective of the three courts, how should this case be closed? How should the criminals be punished?"

Deng Pinzhong smiled wryly and bowed: "It all depends on the Holy Order!"

Wang Lin sneered and said, "Holy judgment? How dare I make another judgment, otherwise I don't know how many people will jump out to accuse me and threaten me... This case will be handed over to the three judges. I hope you will be fair and follow the law And sentence!"

As soon as Wang Lin said this, all the courtiers in the Fengtian Palace fell to the ground and said: "I dare not wait, please ask the Holy Judge!"

Wang Lin looked at Chen Zixuan and the others indifferently, "Chen Zixuan, do I dare to judge?"

The emperor's words of cruelty almost made Chen Zixuan and the others despair. Now that the matter has come to this point, they can only bite the bullet.

Chen Zixuan kowtowed heavily on the ground, and raised his head again, his forehead was covered with bloodstains. This high-ranking Minister of the Great Yan Shangshu wailed: "Your Majesty, I know that the crime is inevitable, but I will listen to your majesty's punishment!"

boom!
Wang Lin slapped the table suddenly, and angrily reprimanded: "As important ministers of the Great Yan, you have disregarded the dignity of the court, connected with more than a hundred officials from six ministries, trespassed in the palace, threatened the cabinet and me, and even falsely accused Jin Yiwei and Luo Zhi of committing crimes. The great Confucianism almost caused a shock in the ruling and opposition parties.

From now till now, let me punish you for your understatement—how exactly do you want me to punish you? "

Wang Lin said loudly: "When you are forced into the palace, you should think about the consequences..."

The more Wang Lin talked, the angrier he became, and he pushed out everything, cutting off his almost impulsive exit.

But he knew he couldn't do it.

Wang Lin suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "Push Chen Zixuan and other six people out of the court with thirty sticks and fine them one year's salary. The other six officials who participated in gathering crowds to cause trouble all received twenty court sticks and fined half a year's salary.

I'm going to be lenient this time, but please keep in mind that it's only this time, and the next one will not be an example.In the future, if there are such people who roar at the palace gate again, I will kill them without mercy. "

Wang Lin snatched the Son of Heaven Sword from Shangguanqing, a female official standing by the side, and the Sword of Heaven came out of its sheath instantly, and the sword light flashed like a pool of autumn water, and there was only a click, and the dragon book table made of red sandalwood in front of Wang Lin was shattered. He cut it in two with one sword!
The two halves of the book table were turned upside down and fell to Dan Chi.

In the Fengtian Palace, the faces of civil and military courtiers were shocked, and Chen Zixuan and others were even more pale. Only then did they realize that they had passed the gate of hell.

The emperor was really angry and murderous.

Wang Lin held his sword and said solemnly: "Do you understand?"

Li Gang took a deep breath, and together with Wu Min, Zongze, Huang Qishan, Guo Zhishun and the other five, they bowed down and shouted long live: "Long live my emperor, long live!"

It's not that Wang Lin is playing cool, but it's really that this hole can't be opened again.

If he hadn't considered the stability of the court, Wang Lin would never have bypassed people like Chen Zixuan.

But he had to teach these courtiers a profound lesson.

In the future, whoever dares to do such a thing that is close to forcing the palace, first weigh whether his head is enough to cut off.

Chen Zixuan and the six were dragged out by the Imperial Forest Army to execute the imperial staff.

The Imperial Forest Army, who enforced the imperial staff, couldn't get used to these officials who were usually superior and enjoyed high officials and generous salaries, but they were ungrateful, so they attacked very hard.

Not long after, there was the sound of Chen Zixuan and others crying and howling.

Li Gang and the others looked at each other and smiled wryly, but they didn't dare to ask for mercy.

The emperor didn't kill people, nor was he dismissed from office, but just beat a few sticks to vent his anger.
After dealing with Chen Zixuan and the others, Wang Lin said slowly, "I declare that the so-called murder of Zhang Shiru's mother is now closed.

Zhang Shiru's birth mother was murdered by the Xue family, and Zhang Shiru hated the Xue family because of this, which is normal. Although Zhang Shiru ordered the servant girl in his family to poison the Xue family, the Xue family did not die of poisoning, but He was crucified by his son Xue Qiang.

Therefore, considering Zhang Shiru's sympathetic feelings, being a famous minister in the world, and being an honest and honest official, at the moment when the court employs people, I decided to exonerate him from the crime according to the circumstances.

Descend Zhang Shiru to be the county magistrate of the seventh grade, and go to the Mongolian province to contribute to the country and make meritorious deeds.

Zhang Shiru's wife, Wu Shi, was acquitted.

Xinglan, the maidservant of the Zhang family, and others committed crimes against her superiors and falsely accused her. She was exiled to Naiman's hometown and never returned to the Central Plains.

Xue Qiang killed his mother with his son, exterminated human relations, and made a decisive decision.

Cheng Yuanjing, as a great Confucian in the world, has committed countless crimes and deliberately provoked disputes in the court with ulterior motives. It is an unforgivable crime.Nian has contributed to the country's education for decades, and gave him a piece of white silk, allowing him to commit suicide.

Cheng Yuanjing's family was exiled to the Vientiane Kingdom in the south of Yunnan Province, and will never be forgiven.

As soon as this case is settled, the case should be announced to the world, thinking that latecomers should be warned. "

Wang Lin cast a contemptuous look at all the officials in the hall: "I made such a judgment, what do you love ladies think?"

"My emperor is holy!" Li Gang led the officials to shout long live again.

The emperor's treatment, especially the treatment of Cheng Yuanjing, should be said to be benevolent and righteous.

Letting Cheng Yuanjing commit suicide will save enough face for the Cheng family and scholars all over the world.

According to common sense, Cheng Yuanjing at least wants to declare the canonical punishment and wipe out the nine clans.

Wang Lin looked around at the mass of civil and military courtiers kneeling on the ground, but he felt more vigilant in his heart.

Although the case was settled, Wang Lin knew that the faction between the court and China had planted a lot of hidden dangers, and it was uncertain when it would start to break out.

Therefore, he had to choose an appropriate time to launch the Yu Zhongchao case, and then use this as a breakthrough point to carry out moderate and necessary cleaning and rectification of the existing court structure.

Chen Zixuan didn't want to use these six books anymore.

But he couldn't convict Chen Zixuan and others because they interceded for Cheng Yuanjing, because it didn't convince the public.

Wang Lin's deep eyes turned around the leading ministers and veteran ministers. He was already thinking about how to advance this matter, how far this political rectification movement led by him will go, and who will be responsible for it in the future? to replace six.

Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat suddenly.

It is better to let the ministers of the military aircraft department concurrently serve as ministers of various ministries.

People like Zhang Jun from the Military Aircraft Department are the hardcore emperor's party, and they are in charge of the six departments, which can also form an effective check and balance on the cabinet.

But this should not be rushed.

It cannot cause dissension between him and the cabinet ministers.

Wang Lin thought about it again and again, and his eyes fell on Deng Pinzhong, Yushi Zhongcheng.

If the six ministries are controlled by the new party, then the system of officials and admonition officials must be controlled by members of the old party, otherwise, the power of the court will be out of balance.

Since Yu Zhongchao committed the crime, Deng Pinzhong, as Li Gang's protégé, could take over the power of Yushitai and Jianyuan, and supervise the new party through the official system.

Wang Lin was determined and made up his mind immediately.
