Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 495 Impeachment
As a force, you gather together because of interests, or because your ideas are accepted, you have like-minded people with you, or you have both ideas and interests.

Wang Yan is fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. With the addition of some interests, he has gathered a large number of talents around him. However, if he has a bad relationship with the emperor and some people believe in the anti-Qing Dynasty, the restoration of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be greatly discounted, and it is very likely that he will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The literati in the dynasty belonged to the category of rebellious officials and thieves.

This will make Wang Yan's faction loyal to the emperor alienated from him, and he was a loyal minister before, when the emperor opposed him, what identity should he show others?How to call on the people around him to continue to follow him has become a big problem.

After hearing Wang Yan's words, Gu Yanwu didn't answer and asked instead, "Master, I have something to ask, what is your ambition?"

Wang Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, his brows were slightly frowned, he pondered for a while, and finally said: "Naturally, it is to drive out the Tartars, preserve the morality of our Han family, and revive the Ming Dynasty."

"Does the Duke think that the Han family's orthodoxy is more important than that of the Great Ming Dynasty?" Gu Yanwu immediately asked again.

When Wang Yan heard this, his mind suddenly trembled, his pupils dilated, "What do you mean, sir?"

Seeing this, Gu Yanwu smiled with Chaopin and the others, "Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States, Qin, Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, and Song Dynasties, the change of dynasties, the historical normality, the country is destroyed but the world does not perish. In China, the Mongols and the Yuan Dynasty perished in the Song Dynasty. My culture was destroyed, my laws and regulations were destroyed, the rites and music were destroyed, and the country and the world perished. In today's affairs, the northern captives invaded the south, shaved their hair and changed clothes, and destroyed my clothes. China has been in China for thousands of years. The etiquette and human relations, the rules of poetry and books, are wiped out, and the world will perish. The dynasty changes, but the surname is changed, and the powerful are also damaged. However, the death of the world is to break my orthodoxy, so the world is more important than the country! Those who are protected by Xianggong will be for the world first, and then for Ming Dynasty!"

The country and the world are two different concepts. The scholar-bureaucrats all have the feelings of the world, but in order to maintain their rule, the rulers of all dynasties have weakened the world and tried to confuse the concepts of the country and the world.

Wang Chaopin nodded. As the patriarch of the Wang Shi clan, he already knew that the Wang clan had no way of turning back. He had obviously discussed this issue with Gu Yanwu, so he brought him in front of Wang Yan, "Brother Ning's words, When I heard it for the first time, it was like enlightenment. Just then Shiheng said, I don’t know how to deal with myself, it’s because you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty and equate the world with the Ming Dynasty, and I, a scholar-bureaucrat, should know the world before knowing the country. "

Wang Fuzhi also said: "I think that in the current situation, externally, Shiheng can raise the banner of protecting the world and occupy the righteousness, so as to call on the gentry and the common people; .With such dedication to management, within ten years, we will surely defeat the Manchus, return the two capitals, and achieve great things.”

After listening to the words of several people, Wang Yan's heart seemed to become clear, and several people had a long talk in the study until late at night.

On the other side, Pang Tianshou in the restaurant had already returned to the palace. He soon realized that Wang Yan not only disturbed the emperor, but also had trouble with Su Guansheng and others. He immediately decided to disturb the situation in the early morning tomorrow.

Not long after Yuan Pengnian and Jin Bao rested, Pang Tianshou heard the news from the palace, and they had to get together again.

Fortunately, there is no curfew in Guangjing, and no one suspects them of their nocturnal activities. The two met on a painting boat this time, but a problem was posed in front of them.

After all, Wang Yan has power in the government and the public, and his prestige is high. If he doesn't lose it all at once, those in his early years will definitely die in an ugly way.

Yuan Pengnian is a member of King Gui, so he can't make it to the base. Jin Bao has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he has become a good man.

The time was urgent and they only had one night to prepare. In the end, the two selected Yushi Liu Xiangke from among the bribers, and entrusted him with the heavy task of impeaching Wang Yan to fire the first shot.

Liu Xiangke is from Shaanxi. When Li Zicheng ran across the north, he fled south alone. After Nanjing fell, he ran to Fujian.

Because he was just a student, and he didn't have any outstanding talents, he was not reused by the Guangjing court, and he was very angry, so he was soon bought by Yuan Pengnian, and his important task of impeaching Wang Yan was also I gladly accept it, and I am very willing to accept a weighty vote from His Highness the future emperor, King Gui.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yan barely slept, so he put on his court uniform, and under the protection of two hundred personal guards, he went to the court. He and the ministers filed in, stood at the head of the general, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

After a while, the emperor entered the palace, sat on the great treasure, and all the ministers paid homage to the mountain and shouted long live.

After the ceremony, Pang Tianshou shouted loudly: "There is a book to play, and I will leave the court without incident!"

Because of his words, Liu Xiangke, who was eager to show off, came out and knelt down, holding the memorial book high above his head, impeaching the great scholar and the Duke of Chu Wang Yan's party with righteous indignation, eliminating dissidents, controlling the government, and mercenary self-respect, Spreading prophecy, intending to rebel.

Liu Xiangke is upright and confident, with high fighting spirit. He puts on an appearance of being unyielding and defying power.

Pang Tianshou listened to his words, but secretly thought it was not good, this little Liu, after all, is a scholar, not rich enough experience, eager to make contributions, even impeached Dai Zhifan, Wang Shixiu, Li Guo, Wu Jinxi and more than 20 people as Wang Yan The ministers of one faction overturned a whole boat of people with one blow, and offended the entire Wang Yan and one faction. They made too many enemies, which was equivalent to offending the entire Xun Town and most of the imperial court.

As soon as his impeachment came out, there was no sound in the hall, and Emperor Longwu, who was sitting on the big treasure, suddenly panicked, his face burst into astonishment.Isn't this nonsense?
He quickly looked at Su Guansheng, his most trusted confidant, clearly complaining, why didn't he discuss it with me, and wanted to get rid of Wang Yan.

Su Guansheng was even more frightened by the bomb. He felt the eyes of the emperor, Zuo Maodi and other cabinet ministers. He felt extremely wronged. He didn't discuss with Wang Yan yesterday and offended Wang Yan. How could he not today? Discuss with the cabinet, send a shit stick to remove Wang Yan?

According to the rules, it is legal for the censor to impeach officials of any level, and if it involves treason and cabinet ministers, then he has to deal with it. Su Guansheng glanced at the ministers of Wang Yan's faction, seeing their faces were clear,

He said badly repeatedly in his heart, obviously someone wanted to dirty him, maybe even Wang Yan himself dirty himself, and then used it to fight back.

His complexion changed, and just as he was about to come out to scold him, a person jumped in front of him, "Bold thief, to slander the cabinet ministers, he deserves death! Your Majesty, please kill this thief immediately!"
