As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

"If you have something to play early, if you have nothing to do, retreat!"

Xu Dacheng, who was on duty in the hall, glanced gloomyly across the officials, and finally stopped on a group of censors in the back row of the officials.

It is easy to say that the master is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the master is humiliating his ministers to death, but the most practical way to do it is actually the eunuchs, after all, they are the servants of the heavenly family.The servants of this family, if the master is in a good mood, they will live better. If the master is in a bad mood, can they have a good life?

"After today, I have to try to kill one or two of them to relieve His Majesty..." Xu Dacheng felt ruthless in his heart.

He didn't care whether these people were Shilin leaders or world-renowned Confucian scholars, anyway, he dared to kill the emperor if they dared to provoke the emperor--there are so many people in Dongchang, wouldn't it be easy to just find a substitute for the dead?

According to the unspoken rules, the censors did not jump out to impeach at the beginning of the early dynasty. After all, the big bosses of the six departments hadn't said anything serious yet.

The court meeting was going on normally, because the morning court was stopped for a day, and there were more things accumulated, so it was almost noon when the six plays were finished.

When the last thing came to a conclusion, the hall was silent for a moment, and a needle could be heard.

Seeing this, Xu Dacheng couldn't help cheering up: Here we come!

253. Perhaps fear, presumably, perhaps yes

After being emperor for so many years, Emperor Guangxing felt for the first time today that these censors were really hypocritical.

Obviously everyone knew that they were going to impeach Huamanlou, but they just had to make a gesture, as if they had to make up their minds to impeach, and suddenly jumped out when they were about to announce the dissolution of the court...

Hypocrisy!

Emperor Guangxing, who was already in a bad mood, didn't want to get used to this problem. After he glanced at the censors at the end of the line, he simply closed his eyes and meditated.

This reflection made everyone dumbfounded.

No, why did His Majesty suddenly not follow the routine?How about you squeak!

After being embarrassed for a while, someone looked around hesitantly and walked out of work slowly.But just as he was about to speak, Emperor Guangxing on the throne suddenly said, "Mr. Wen, is there any difficulty in expanding Tianjin Weiyi?"

"Your Majesty Chen Qi, yes." Old Wen said unhurriedly after leaving work: "The biggest difficulty a few days ago is that it is difficult to mobilize civilian husbands..."

After being an official for so many years, doesn't Lao Wen know how these people in the court play?

It can be said that, as a practical man, he is also really upset by the pretentiousness of this group of people. Therefore, if there is any difficulty in Tianjin Wei today, it must be said, and if there is no difficulty, it must also be said. Thoughts, but it would be nice to suppress their momentum a bit.

So Lao Wen instantly turned into a chattering old man, slowed down his speech, and went over Tianjin Wei's affairs no matter how big or small, and Leng Sheng dragged the Chaohui for another two sticks of incense before he stopped talking— — If there is too much, it will be over.

After reporting on Tianjin Wei's affairs, the hall became quiet again, and Emperor Guangxing closed his eyes again to meditate. After someone got out of work, he spoke again: "Mr. Fan..."

A group of censors are going crazy, but no matter how arrogant they are, they can't interrupt the emperor's conversation, right?

The most disturbing thing is that Fan Liangbi, the always low-key cabinet third assistant named by Emperor Guangxing, has become a bitch today.

The heads of the censors began to ache.

They have made a lot of preparations in the past few days, and they are not discouraged at all after knowing that their impeachment memorandum will not be published. How challenging is it to kill someone who can be killed with one impeachment?If there is no challenge, how can the fighting power of the imperial censor be demonstrated?

Therefore, they piled up gorgeous rhetoric on the memorial, which can be described as citing scriptures and classics, quoting from all over the world, just to be able to read the righteous words at the court meeting, and it would be a blockbuster.

But after Emperor Guangxing and the two elders made such a fuss, the group of people were a little bit dispirited, but even so, they could only hold the memorial and stare at Fan Ge Lao Li, hoping that he would stop talking as soon as possible. ...

After Mr. Fan Ge finished speaking about joining the class, before Emperor Guangxing could continue to doze off, an old man with white beard and hair stood up, and he spoke righteously and loudly: "Your Majesty, Sun Hongyun, the censor of the minister and deputy right, told Xuanwu Wei Xishanqian It is a crime of forming a party for self-interest!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was in an uproar...or pretended to be in an uproar.

In all cases of impeachment, a serious crime has always been thrown out first to attract everyone's attention. The heavier the better, it is best to be the kind of crime that is enough for the three tribes of the barbarians-this group of censors always seems to feel that the heavier the crime, the more they can treat the emperor. The feeling of being enlightened by a blow to the head is produced, so the exaggeration is getting more and more serious.

But Emperor Guangxing has been on the throne for more than ten years, how can he not know the routine of this group of people?So he threw out three words without even raising his eyelids: "Where are the credentials?"

Sun Hongyun was not moved by the emperor's attitude at all, he said decisively: "Your Majesty, the former Fanhua Manlou was taken away by the Bailian rebels, and after he escaped, he wiped out Tianjin Bailian in one fell swoop. This should have been his credit, but he took it away. Pushed it to the command of the Tianjin Three Guards, recruited the three and bewitched them, in order to change the Tianjin Three Guards into a navy..."

Emperor Guangxing waved his hand impatiently and said, "The three guards of Tianjin ask themselves to abolish themselves, what have they got to do with Huamanlou?"

"Your Majesty!" Another person stood up, and everyone regarded him as Han Tiancheng, who was assigned by the Ministry of War. He held his head high and said, "Liu Yi, the magistrate of Tianjin, investigated this matter very clearly. He also wrote a letter to expose it before. Moreover, more than a dozen officials, big and small, from Tianjin testified to this matter..."

Emperor Guangxing opened his eyes, looked at this guy with a half-smile and said, "You mean, Huamanlou wooed the Tianjin Sanwei Commander, and the Tianjin magistrate and other officials knew it well? So when Huamanlou secretly discussed, this A group of people are watching from the sidelines?"

"This..." Han Tiancheng hesitated: "This matter may be leaked by the members of the Three Guards, and it will be known by the magistrate of Tianjin..."

"Or fear?" Emperor Guangxing interrupted him: "Just based on the word or fear, you can infer that Huamanlou is forming a party for personal gain?"

It has to be said that Emperor Guangxing's whole night of preparation was not in vain, and Han Tiancheng was speechless in just two sentences.

Sun Hongyun, the vice capital censor, saw that his accomplice had been bypassed, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with it. The magistrate of Tianjin has no grievances or enmity with Huamanlou, so he probably won't use such rumors to slander him... ..."

This is purely playing a rogue, and the translation is: Anyway, I just think he is guilty, believe it or not.

Emperor Guangxing knew that this group of people would play like this, so he snorted coldly and said, "Then what are you talking about, what is Huamanlou's intention in changing Tianjin Sanwei into a naval division? There is a reason for the incident, if there is no purpose, what are you talking about forming a party for personal gain? "

Sun Hongyun didn't waver at all: "Your Majesty, I don't know Huamanlou's intentions, but Tianjin has a navy, why add a navy? The navy is also an army. Who is he going to use against when he wants to build such an army? If it is Japanese pirates, it is well known that there have never been Japanese pirates in Tianjin Wei, and there are no other enemies at sea, maybe he wants to destroy the ancestral system? So your majesty might as well invite Hua Manlou and ask him personally?"

This is blind labeling, and it is also a trick that Yushi always uses: to sow discord.

No guilt, no evidence, anyway, I doubted you for no reason, and then dragged you to the court for questioning. Those with a bad mentality will be tricked in a few words, and those with a good mentality will be tossed with resentment—this trick It is specially used to provoke the relationship between the monarch and his favorite ministers, and it has been tried and tested.

This red mouth and white teeth is just a basin of dirty water pouring down your head, even if you are pure and clean, you will inevitably be tossed into a mess, and there is no psychological pressure of slander - anyway, the official is innocent, what can you do to me?

Emperor Guangxing laughed angrily: "Maybe, probably, maybe...well, my ministers, this is the only thing my speech officer can say?"

Sun Hongyun said bluntly: "Your Majesty, it is the official who heard the rumor..."

Halfway through the conversation, suddenly a small yellow door hurried into the hall, ran two steps forward and then threw his head on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, Tianjin Wei is in a hurry! The report said: Yesterday there were white lotus sects and Japanese pirates Came from the sea, sneaked into the city in the middle of the night and kidnapped Liu Yi, the magistrate of Tianjin, and offered to exchange the magistrate for thirty Bailian's children..."

boom!

Before the urgent report was finished, the hall was already fried.

254. This is a conspiracy!

This time, there was really an uproar in the hall.

No one expected that at this juncture of the impeachment of Huamanlou, such a thing would happen in Tianjin Wei, and everyone's scalps were numb.

Just now, Sun Hongyun also accused Huamanlou convincingly, saying that he encouraged Tianjin Sanwei to change into a navy for the purpose of conspiracy, because there are no Japanese pirates in Tianjin, but there are Japanese pirates before finishing a few words...

The slap in the face came so fast that Sun Hongyun didn't even react: "Japanese pirates? Where did the Japanese pirates come from in Tianjin?"

For hundreds of years, Tianjin Wei was just a small earthen city, and there were very few bandits. The discovery of Bailian's den was a rare event that shocked the capital. How could there be Japanese pirates running around to commit crimes?

However, the facts are in front of us. Not only did the Japanese pirates come, but they also kidnapped the local chief official in front of many people.

"Conspiracy! It's a conspiracy!" Sun Hongyun yelled suddenly, looking like a madman: "This must be Huamanlou's conspiracy! He colluded with the White Lotus Sect to collude with Japanese bandits..."

"Enough!" Emperor Guangxing jumped up against the table, and at the same time the two elders also shouted: "Speak carefully!"

"Your Majesty!" Sun Hongyun knelt down and kept kowtowing: "My minister's feeling is definitely not wrong, this must be Huamanlou's conspiracy!"

Ordinarily, a right deputy capital envoy would definitely not lose his composure like this, but firstly, the slap in the face this time was too harsh, and secondly, most of what he said to impeach Hua Manlou just now were speculations, so these words after the slap in the face It suddenly turned into a false accusation——the false accuser just sits back, that is, accuses Hua Manlou of forming a party for personal gain, then he must be charged with forming a party for personal gain, so...

Sun Hongyun vividly performed a dog jumping over the wall.

At least most of the people present thought that he was in a hurry, except for Xu Dacheng who knew everything well and was still a little guilty at this time.

That's right, all of this is indeed Huamanlou's conspiracy, but Sun Hongyun said the wrong target: the group of Japanese pirates came here as a guest guest from a group of people from the rivers and lakes raised by Dongchang. There are also those who can speak some Japanese dialect, so it is effortless to act.

That is to say, the "White Lotus Cultist" who held the Japanese pirates was really talking in Japanese, and these people used all the Japanese swords in stock in the East Factory. Except for the Tianjin Sanwei Commander, who knew the news and secretly sent people to cooperate, everyone else thought that the White Lotus Sect had colluded with the Japanese pirates and kidnapped the county magistrate in order to ask the court to release their [-] disciples...

Hua Manlou knows what kind of bird Tianjin Wei is, and also knows that the water village has long been in vain. As long as someone responds a little, it is easy to kidnap the county magistrate, so...

You want to impeach me, saying that I have ulterior motives in reforming the three guards, because there are no Japanese pirates in Tianjin Guard, right?

Then a group of pirates suddenly appeared!

What?There have never been Japanese pirates in Tianjin Wei?

That's okay, there is the White Lotus Sect!

You ask what is the relationship between Bailian and Japanese pirates?

Of course the two are in collusion. The group of people from the White Lotus Sect can even collude with the Tartars, colluding with Japanese pirates, right?

After tidying up his enemy Liu Yi, gagging the official censor, and taking advantage of the opportunity, he poured a pot of dirty water on the White Lotus Sect, while he hid in Xishan and watched the fun with an innocent face—this is the flower in Xu Dacheng's eyes Manlou can be described as sinister and immoral.

Why is it splashing dirty water again?

In fact, people have already talked about Bailian's discoloration now. Xu Dacheng is conscientious in implementing the plan. He was acting everywhere—yes, he was playing the role of the filial son whose father was beaten to death by the Bailian Sect that Zhao Ren wanted to play...

It is precisely because of the dirty water from the previous episode that it is not abrupt to say that the White Lotus Sect colluded with the Japanese pirates this time, and it is precisely because the former Fanhuamanlou took the White Lotus Sect in Tianjin that they came to arrest the magistrate of Tianjin In order to seek revenge-is there anything wrong with this logic?

People in the court more or less knew Dongchang's strategy against the White Lotus Sect, and they also knew that the Battle of Datong had the shadow of the White Lotus Sect, so they heard that the White Lotus Sect brought Japanese pirates to kidnap people, so they subconsciously I think it's revenge, no matter how much I want to hate Huamanlou, the censor doesn't think that Huamanlou will collude with Bailian-the group of people seized in Tianjin are still in prison. .

Therefore, Sun Hongyun naturally became a clown who jumps over the wall in a hurry, and even...

Someone is already planning to impeach him for communicating with Bailian and Huamanlou.

In officialdom, who doesn't have any enemies?The so-called wall is pushed down by everyone, it has been like this since ancient times, and Sun Hongyun's move today can be regarded as trapping himself.

It's just that Emperor Guangxing didn't make everyone bother, he calmed down after hearing Sun Hongyun's howl, and slowly sat down behind him and said: "The officials are the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and it is your duty to hear the news. In the past years, the ancestors established a rule: "The official is not guilty."

"I deeply believe it. When I ascended the throne, I issued a decree. The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Divisions gave memorandums directly to the imperial court, so as to open up the way of speech and respect the beginning carefully. But..." Emperor Guangxing changed his tone: "From the beginning to the end. Since when did you use the duty of hearing rumors as a sharp weapon against your colleagues?"

"Your servant is guilty!" A group of censor officials knelt down in unison, not daring to lift their heads.

Emperor Guangxing acted as if he had never heard of it, and said to himself: "The rumors and rumors are not to catch rumors, and the power I give you is not a tool for court struggle! What I want is to speak out widely, and I hope to hear whether the officials are good or not, and the people's livelihood is good. Bad, not to speculate, sow discord, frame false accusations!"

These words can be described as extremely punishing, pointing directly at the disadvantages of Dazhao's characteristic scientific and Taoist officials, so when Emperor Guangxing said a word, the head of the following censors and officials lowered a little, and after he finished speaking, someone was already scared I was shivering.

The words are too heavy, and it can be said that it almost determines the nature of Sun Hongyun's matter: it is framed and false accusations.

Yan Guan innocent said that he was not guilty of the rumors, but he did not say that he was not guilty of false accusations when he was exposed on the spot, so Sun Hongyun sat on the ground paralyzed after Emperor Guangxing finished speaking.

After a pause, Emperor Guangxing said again: "From now on, the memorandums of the scientific and Taoist officials must be targeted and have something to say, and groundless speculation is prohibited! I don't want to hear any presumptions, promises, or fears!"

Everyone was stunned.

Just this one sentence almost strictly limited the scope of the rumors of the Taoist officials. The grand occasion of impeaching one person by dozens of people on trumped-up charges in the past few days is probably coming to an end.

Before everyone could come back to their senses, Emperor Guangxing said again: "Decree, Tianjin Sanwei and Tianjin Shuizhai will abolish and reorganize Tianjin Navy from now on. Xishan Qianhu Huamanlou is fully responsible for this matter. As for you..."

Looking at Sun Hongyun, who was slumped on the ground, Emperor Guangxing said expressionlessly: "Go to the navy and make a small flag, and see for yourself whether Huamanlou is as you think. Retire!"

255. Hard work pays off

On the surface, Emperor Guangxing's operation was like shrimp and pig's heart, but in fact, this disposal was still giving Sun Hongyun a chance.

The reason is very simple, just because a certain prince who doesn't know music so is not reliable and sometimes in tune, after playing with Huamanlou for a period of time, he has obviously changed, and even said with tears in his eyes, "What the people want is true." Not much' If that's the case, scholars who have read sage books must have learned more from Hua Manlou's side, right?

This is why Emperor Guangxing sent a group of scholars who "beaten" the people to Xishan last time. He just hoped that after a period of experience in Xishan, these people would truly have some empathy for the people and enter the court in the future. This experience and tempering will become their capital.

although……

The group of scholars did not understand his deep meaning at all.

As for Sun Hongyun, this kind of person who has entered the court and served as a high-ranking official does not understand Emperor Guangxing's decision even more.

After all, you see, a civil official of the third rank is the same rank as the minister of the sixth department, and belongs to the real high-ranking official in the court.However, such a high-ranking official was suddenly transferred to a Xuanwu Wei Xiaoqi. This kind of demotion was more uncomfortable than killing Sun Hongyun.

You can think about the legs, Lao Sun is over 60 this year, what the hell can he be a military officer?

Therefore, Emperor Guangxing really didn't want to punish him, but just wanted him to go to Huamanlou to feel the light of the righteous way, hoping that he would know how to turn back when he lost his way, and at most let him spend a year in Tianjin Wei. The recall——The name of benevolent king is not blown out.

But once a person thinks something wrong, he will definitely do some outrageous things. For example, Lao Sun thinks that the emperor is insulting him.

Again, civil and military are different, in the eyes of civil officials and military officials are all vulgar and incorrigible, so...

When I went back that day, the old man hung himself on the beam of the house with a three-foot white silk, and he was already out of breath when he was discovered.

The sad death of a high-ranking third-rank boss can be said to have dealt a blow to the group of people who monopolize shipping.

It is worth mentioning that no one sympathized with Lao Sun at all, and even the censors who stood on the same front as him before did not give him a ride. Everyone just felt lucky, because if it hadn't been for Emperor Guangxing's sudden attack in the early court If the rhythm is interrupted, it must not be Sun Hongyun who jumps out first, but themselves.

But fortunately, after that, there are more worries about the future and the future, because Emperor Guangxing stipulated that the censors must have "something to say", which made some censors completely panic.

Most of the current science and Taoist officials are exaggerated, and they can play the big things to the effect of the sky falling. This kind of atmosphere has long made Emperor Guangxing very dissatisfied, but he has not been able to find a suitable one for a long time. Here is an opportunity to deal with this group of people, after all, the moment this kind of thing is said, it is a hat that blocks the way of speech.

Even though Emperor Guangxing wasn't afraid of being labeled, at least he himself ordered to speak out when he came to the throne, so he couldn't beat himself up, right?

So today was finally his chance. Sun Hongyun was arrested for framing on the spot, and Emperor Guangxing took advantage of the situation to make use of the situation. Some people couldn't persuade them even if they wanted to.

Who has the face to persuade?

When the third-rank civil servant of the court framed an innocent military officer who had made great contributions to the country, even Fan Ge, who couldn't bear it, stood there silent, let alone others?
