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

Chapter 62 Kill Wang Qi to thank the world
  The Wenhua Hall occupies a small area, and is adjacent to the Wenyuan Pavilion. It is separated from the Wuying Hall on the east and west sides. The Ming Dynasty emperor held small cabinet meetings, or used it to summon his ministers, or as a place for court discussions.

But today, the atmosphere here is different from usual.

When the small Huangmen or the clerks pass by the entrance of Wenhua Hall, they are very cautious and cautious, not daring to make the slightest violation or mistake!
  Just because today, in addition to Shen, five ministers from the cabinet came. Three of them were originally ill at home, but now they are standing majestically in the courtyard of the Wenhua Palace, waiting for His Majesty to summon him. The remaining one, Shen, was because of being imprisoned. The assistant Liu Yijing was impeached. He resigned three days ago and went to Nanjing to serve as an idle official.

As for the six ministers, except for the grand scholar and cabinet minister, the other three people also arrived.

The Supervisory Office, Dali Temple, General Administration Office, and all the subjects and tasks are all available.

As long as there are high-ranking people in the capital, the three public officials and nine ministers, and the officials of all ministries are all there!
  "His Majesty summoned us with such a grand ceremony, he must have wanted to understand something," Liu Yijing, although he is the second assistant, has senior enough qualifications that he is almost on an equal footing with Ye Xianggao. He stands tall and tall, with an obvious air of being a minister:
  "A small military attache in Liaodong wants to disrupt the official order that has existed for more than a hundred years. It is simply wishful thinking! We, the disciples of Confucius and the great Confucian masters, are the nutrients for the survival of the Ming Dynasty!"

During the Zhao and Song Dynasties, Wen Yanbo's statement that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats would rule the world together was, in Liu Yijing's view, the ultimate goal of his life!

This is also the meaning of Donglin!

"When we just entered the palace, Liu Zongzhou had already notified the students in the Imperial College to evacuate," Han Xu stood a step behind Ye Xianggao and Liu Yijing, with a solemn expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Then Yang Xu lacked some sense of propriety in what he did. Students from the Imperial College should not be allowed to go directly to the Meridian Gate of the Imperial City, this is equivalent to forcing the palace!"

"What, isn't this going to happen? Your Majesty has summoned us! If it's going to be a big thing, being gentle, courteous and thrifty will not be used!" Liu Yijing snorted and said it didn't matter: "Yang Xu did the right thing! If you don't force it, how will you know? Where is your Majesty’s bottom line?”

Ye Xianggao stood there comfortably, listening to Liu Yijing's words without speaking.

But that sentence: Where is His Majesty's bottom line? After coming out, the actual chief minister of the cabinet twitched his ears slightly.

These words are similar to what Gao Gong said anxiously when Emperor Longqing passed away: How can you rule the world, young emperor? There are different approaches but the same effect.

"Are you all ready?" Ye Xianggao turned his head and looked at Liu Yijing expressionlessly.

"Thirty-two people among the court officials jointly signed a letter. As long as they enter the Wenhua Hall and Wang Qi is not accused of colluding with the enemy and colluding with the Mongols, it is not impossible that the scene will be stained with blood!" Liu Yijing nodded lightly! He nodded, confident.

However, Han Xu, who was standing behind the two of them, showed hesitation on his face, obviously worried about his colleague's radical behavior.

It is a good idea to overthrow Wang Qi and stir up the Supervisor of Ceremonies, thereby suppressing the power of the palace. However, the emperor is not a fool. Young people have unstable tempers. If the two parties confront each other and refuse to give in, in the end I can’t even get off stage!
  Because Han Xu knew in his heart that the Ming Dynasty's cabinet was not the prime minister!

Furthermore, if Wang Qi goes to the grassland, if something happens...

When Han Xu thought about this, he immediately shook his head and rejected his idea: to lead more than a hundred people deep into the grassland to prevent the marriage between Horqin and Jianzhou. This matter is too ridiculous and is a big joke in the world!
  "Recruit officials into the palace!" While Han Xu was still thinking, the young eunuch at the door of Wenhua Palace had already spoken.

The doors on both sides of the Wenhua Hall slowly opened, and bluestone slabs, carved dragon pillars, and crane towers came into view.

"When you read the Holy Book, you have to ask for orders for the people. This is because you have no choice but to do it when you know you can't do it!" Han Xu slowly walked into the Wenhua Hall along with the ranks of officials.

For some reason, ever since he entered the Donghua Gate, this cabinet minister and palace bachelor has always felt uneasy, and his eyelids have always jumped for no reason. Now looking at the palace with the middle gate wide open, There are dragons coiled inside, which makes people panic.

"I respectfully wish to greet you, Your Majesty!"

"You Aiqings, calm down!"

The minister's voice was high-pitched and full of excitement. You must know that arguing with the emperor is always the most exciting thing for a minister, especially a minister with the heart of a famous minister. Zhu Youxiao's voice on the throne was muffled, obviously a little deep.

The atmosphere was full of greetings and courtesy between the monarch and his ministers. As soon as they met, their attitudes were so clear.

"I have been a little tired these days, so I have stopped the court meeting and let the cabinet discuss all matters." Zhu Youxiao looked at the ministers standing still and glanced at Ye Xianggao, Liu Yihuan and others who were standing in the front two rows, with a tone of voice. Question: "Today I suddenly heard that hundreds of students gathered at the gate of the palace to write a letter, saying that they would kill the traitorous ministers and that they would honor the ancestors of the country. Ye Shoufu, can you explain to the couplet what is going on?

As soon as he came up, Zhu Youxiao struck preemptively.

"I have also heard about this." Ye Xianggao stood in the center of the hall, first bowed and paid homage, and then said: "I think that the Imperial Academy students are a little radical, but their demands should also attract the attention of the court!"

Ye Xianggao replied calmly.

As the head of the cabinet, Mr. Donglin, what happened today must set an example for his colleagues! It is a final conclusion that the Imperial College is not wrong, and its demands must be faced squarely.

Hearing Ye Xiang's answer of raising his head high and putting it down gently, Zhu Youxiao frowned and said, "I wonder what Ye Aiqing's request is?"

In the main hall, the atmosphere became solemn.

"Master Liu will clarify this matter for Your Majesty!" Ye Xianggao bowed and took a step back.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!" Liu Yijing responded and walked up, almost holding her head high!

"Liu Aiqing, do you have something to say?" Zhu Youxiao suppressed his anger.

"I believe that the students have three major demands!" Liu Yijing held out three fingers.

Everyone in the hall looked sideways.

"Wang Qi was arrogant and proud of his favor. He heard about the marriage of Jianzhou, so he sent hundreds of people into the grassland without waiting for the court's decree. He did not know the situation of the northern barbarians, and did not know the reality of Jianzhou. He ignored the Liaodong and Guangning gates and rushed in greedily. Therefore, One of the demands is that he be removed from the rank of captain of the capital, demoted to the rank of captain of the heroic cavalry school, removed from his position as a casual officer, and retained as a guard officer with a rank of thousand households, to see what the consequences will be!"

Is it just downgraded to the rank of fifth grade, one thousand households?
  A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhu Youxiao's mouth. He didn't believe that Dong Lin would be so kind-hearted.

Sure enough, Liu Yijing barely paused and continued: "Wang Qi led his troops into the grassland, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Haizhou Guard in Jianzhou, allowing him to divide his troops into southern Liaoning and defeat Mao Wenlong's troops in Dongjiang Town, causing the fortifications in southern Liaoning to fall short. ! Therefore, the second demand is that his title of Thousand Households be revoked, and that he be escorted to the capital with guards in royal robes, and be interrogated by the three divisions!"

Looking at Liu Yijing who was chatting in the hall, Zhu Youxiao's face was already red. Liu Yijing was not asking Wang Qi to lose his official position, but he was trying to slap Zhu Youxiao in the face!

Listen to what he said. More than a month ago, Colonel Zhu You awarded Wang Qi a reward, but now Liu Yijing has almost refuted it one by one!
  "Is there more?" Zhu Youxiao's voice trembled as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Liu Yijing lowered his head and raised his hands high above his head: "Article 3: Authorizing decrees without authority and banning military personnel. Didn't Your Majesty hear about the chaos of the Ten Kingdoms in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the late Tang Dynasty?"

With a plop, Liu Yijing knelt down on the ground, and almost thirty officials behind him knelt down together. Like the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, they all said in unison: "I am requesting an order to kill Wang Qi to thank the world!"

Behind the screen, Zhu Huiyan was sitting quietly on a small round stool, listening to the conversation between the emperor and the ministers. She was already restless and worried, but now she heard Liu Yijing: Kill Wang Qi, thank the world. , after six words, I finally couldn't bear it anymore, my face suddenly turned white, I fell to the ground with a plop, and fainted.
