My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 595 Chaotianmen, Blood Splattered! (2)

Chen Zixuan's face was gloomy, and he looked up at Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi's imposing emperor Wang Lin, feeling hopeless for a moment.

The emperor didn't feel pity for his life, but used his attitude to warn the people who followed him.

Like Chen Zixuan, it is okay to seek death, and you can go home and kill yourself, but if you want to fight blood in front of Chaotianmen as a final struggle, then you must consider the lives of the Manchus.

The corners of Chen Zixuan's mouth twitched, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and mournfully said: "Your Majesty, I'm leaving now... But before I leave, I still have a few words to say, please Your Majesty..."

Before Chen Zixuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor's blunt indifference: "That's it. Chen Zixuan, I can make the six of you respectable... You should understand what I mean!"

Chen Zixuan looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, "Resign!"

After Chen Zixuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The other five people also looked gloomy, and stumbled behind Chen Zixuan.

The rest of the courtiers present looked at each other in blank dismay, and some sensitive people had already guessed the fate of the six Chen Zixuan.

But most people are secretly happy.

Because the case of Yu Zhongchao ended here, and the sacrifice of Chen Zixuan and six people to save the future and lives of most people, in the eyes of most people, it is natural that dead friends do not die poor people.

Li Gang and Zong Ze looked at each other and smiled wryly.

But they knew that the fate of the six Chen Zixuan was doomed, the emperor had already made up his mind, even if they were veteran cabinet ministers, it would be difficult to change the emperor's mind.

Moreover, standing in front of the big situation of Dayan as a whole, Li Gang also knew that only the sacrifice of Chen Zixuan and the six could truly bring about the stability of the court.

After this incident, the so-called concept of scholar-bureaucrats ruling the world together is gone forever.

The imperial power is supreme, and no one can easily shake it.

Guo Zhishun knelt there with mixed feelings in his heart, feeling scared and sweating profusely.

If he hadn't made a quick decision, even though he was the father of the emperor's concubine, for the sake of the stability of the imperial power of Dayan, the emperor would have swung the butcher's knife at him.

Huang Qishan sighed inwardly.

Strictly speaking, he can also be regarded as a spokesperson for the scholarly class.

But compared with the so-called class interests, Huang Qishan knows that national interests are above all else.

In the current situation, only the emperor monopolizes the power and sets the framework for the tripod to lead the ship Dayan to ride the wind and waves to the other side of glory.

And everything the emperor has done so far is beneficial to the family, the country, the country and the common people.

This is a key factor in Huang Qishan's steadfast pursuit of the emperor.

Besides, if Dayan didn't have the emperor Wang Lin, why would it resist Jin's invasion?

Let alone how to open up territories and create immortal great achievements?

As a politician, Huang Qi is good at studying history. He knows that in any era, a great emperor is born to create a great era. But now, for such a person, if he wants to do great things, he must concentrate and not be restrained.

The officials of the Military Aircraft Department standing aside, such as Zhang Jun, Ma Kuo, Han Ting, Liu Qi, Yuefei, Gu Qingchuan, etc., were eager to try in their hearts.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Zixuan and other six people have given up their positions, and the positions of the six ministers will be replaced by the six ministers of the Military Aircraft Department.And these six people are considered to have truly become prime ministers.

However, the uprising of the six members of the Military Aircraft Department does not represent the victory of the new party.

The old party headed by Li Gang did not decline because of the resignation of the six members of Chen Zixuan. The two parties are still in a delicate balance, and it is difficult for anyone to kill the other. This is what the emperor really wants to see result.

In matters of government affairs, it is impossible to completely eliminate party disputes.

If you kill this party, other parties will emerge.

In Wang Lin's view, the old and new parties represent the two ideological trends of the imperial court: innovative and conservative, conservative and radical. This is actually a very normal thing.

As long as the emperor is in the center and balanced, there will be no hidden dangers in the court.

The emperor stood under the tall archway of Chaotianmen, looking up at the archway that was built in the Khitan period. Since Dayan moved the capital here, it has become a symbol of the Dayan royal family.

On both sides of the archway, there are two stone lions.

The three gilt characters of "Chaotianque" are shining in the sun at this moment.

After Chaotian Gate, less than a hundred meters away, is the Zhengyang Gate of the imperial city.

Obviously, Chaotianmen is the dividing line between the imperial city and the inner city.

Recently, Chaotianmen has repeatedly become an important place for courtiers to make political gestures to force the palace.

After crossing Chaotianmen, the real fact of forcing the palace has been formed.

Even Chen Zixuan and others did not dare to do it lightly.

But outside Chaotianmen, this large-scale square often becomes a gathering place for courtiers and scholars.

In Emperor Wang Lin's mind, Chaotianmen has long been an important symbol that threatens the stability of the imperial power.

Wang Lin was silent for a long time.

He suddenly bent down, rolled up his cuffs, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, with a loud shout, he overturned two stone lions weighing four to five hundred catties to the ground one after another.

The stone lions crashed to the ground one after another, making a big hole, and the smoke and dust filled the air.

A group of courtiers and scholars looked pale.

Wang Lin turned around slowly, looked around at the courtiers and scholars present, and said indifferently: "Decree to demolish the archway of Chaotian Gate and build Chaotian Temple here. I will receive envoys from various countries here in the future."

Li Gang and others bowed to accept the order.

Wang Lin took a deep breath, walked slowly towards Guo Zhishun, who had been kneeling for two or three hours, and his figure was crumbling, and said calmly, "Guo Zhishun, get up. I think you have done a good job in running the country's finances. I will no longer pursue the fault of your teacher for being lax. But the son of the Ru Guo family has done many illegal things, and I..."

Guo Zhishun's body trembled violently.

He knew that what the emperor said would determine the life and death of his second son Guo Liang.

According to common sense, Guo Liang's life should be lost.

Although Guo Zhishun had been mentally prepared for a long time, his heart was still so cold when it came to such a critical moment.

"Decree, Guo Liang, the son of the Guo family, has always committed crimes, but his crime is not as good as death. Capital crimes can be forgiven, but living crimes cannot be forgiven. He will be punished for thirty years with a stick. He will be exiled to the barbarians in the southwest for three thousand miles. He will never return to the Central Plains forever.

Guo Zhishun was not strict in teaching his son, so he went to Kaifu Yitong Sansi and fined him one year's salary.Demotion by one class, staying in the post for inspection, will be a crime. "

The emperor's punishment this time seemed to many people to be no different from the sentence of Guo Liang's death penalty.

But Guo Zhishun knew very well that the emperor had already lenient the net.

Exiled to the Vientiane Kingdom in the southwest, the Vientiane King is the emperor's concubine. Although Guo Liang was exiled here, he would not lose his life.

Guo Zhishun cried bitterly and shouted long live to thank him, but because he knelt for too long and was nervous, he shouted for a long time and suddenly his eyes turned black, and he fainted on the ground.

Wang Lin waved his hand, Yan Qing hurriedly ordered Jin Yiwei to take Guo Zhishun down.

Wang Lin looked around the crowd again, and said loudly: "Yu Zhongchao committed a lot of crimes, deceived the world and stole his name, and practiced lawlessness for decades, he is one of the most treacherous and evil people in our Dayan Dynasty.

But Yu Zhongchao's case is very involved.After thinking about it again and again, I decided to punish only the chief culprit, not the rest, and let the past go.

According to the decree, the Zhong Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty will be punished, all family assets from all over the country will be filled into the treasury, and the civilian daughters he seized will be returned.All the sons of the Zhong Dynasty beheaded for public display.

Chen Zixuan and other six ministers have accepted heavy bribes from the Zhong Dynasty, and they have become the leaders of their lawless gangsters.Six of them committed suicide at home, their family assets were confiscated, and their family members were expelled from Beijing. "

When Wang Lin said this, he said calmly: "The ministers of the cabinet, can I make a decision?"

Li Gang took the lead in prostrating to the ground: "Your Majesty is wise! I obey the order!"

Zong Ze, Huang Qishan, Wu Min and others all bowed to the ground and shouted long live.

Wang Lin's deep eyes looked at Zhang Jun and the other six ministers of the Military Aircraft Department.

Zhang Jun and the others were agitated and their faces turned red.

As ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, they are equivalent to the emperor's private staff team independent of the imperial court, and now if they are in charge of the six departments as they wish, they will be the prime ministers without a doubt.

Since then, he has been an extremely human minister.

Especially Han Ting, he was extremely excited.

So far, the distance between him and the ancestor of the Han family as the prime minister of the dynasty has been greatly shortened.

From now on, he is destined to be the helm of the Han family's glorious lintel in the next few decades.

He has been a relative for many generations, and he will also have his name.

Wang Lin said slowly: "Pass down the decree, Zhang Jun will be changed to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Ma Kuo will be Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Han Ting will be minister of the Ministry of Households, Liu Qi will be minister of the Ministry of Industry, Gu Qingchuan will be minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and Yue Fei will be minister of the Ministry of War.

Zong Ze is the Privy Council envoy, and Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are the Privy Council deputy envoys.

Yan Qing, Han Shizhong, Yang Yizhong, Zhang Jun, Guan Sheng, and Liu Guangshi were ministers of the military aircraft department and counselors of the military aircraft. "

Everyone knelt down to accept the decree.

Such an appointment was already expected by everyone.

Li Gang had five cabinet ministers, Zhang Jun and others were in charge of six cabinet ministers, and Yan Qing and six others were the new ministers of military affairs.

For the cabinet formed by Li Gang and others, this is actually a good thing and a major benefit.

Yan Qing and Yang Yizhong were slightly surprised.

Han Shizhong is a famous general in the army, not to mention he is also the minister of the military aircraft department, even if he is also the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, he deserves his name in terms of military merit, talent and military status.

But Yan Qing didn't expect that she could also enter.

As the helm of the emperor's largest spy agency, Yan Qing positions herself as a lonely minister.

But obviously the emperor was not going to let him be a lone minister.

As for Yang Yizhong, although he has a great responsibility to control the Imperial Forest Army, his qualifications are shallow after all. He directly received the title of Minister of the Military Aircraft Department this time, which is undoubtedly a leapfrog promotion.

……

Before the emperor returned to the palace, the news had already been sent back to the ladies in the harem.

As far as Empress Han Yan is concerned, she is of course very happy that her elder brother Han Ting has officially stepped into the front of the court and has also taken control of the most important household department of the court.This means that the Han family will or has already produced a new cabinet minister, the prime minister.

As for Guo Yuan, who was most nervous at the moment, his father Guo Zhishun kept his position as a cabinet minister, and the Guo family was not really implicated in the Zhongchao case.

For the Guo family, this is already the endless grace of the emperor's extrajudicial grace.

Guo Yuan burst into tears with excitement, snuggling into Zhu Lian's arms and sobbing.

Zhu Lian sighed quietly: "Sister, you have to tell Guo Xiang that everything must be the same. Your Majesty has saved the Guo family under the tremendous pressure of the courtiers this time. Please also ask Guo Xiang to know what to do in the future. .”
