Chapter 367: On quarrels, Tianguan has never been afraid of anyone

 The Fengtian Hall suddenly became quiet, and the elders did not speak. They all looked at Pei Lun who spoke.

In the final analysis, the mutual trading issue is fundamentally a political event.

It is related to the diplomatic relations between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, especially when the emperor is still trapped in Yibei, no one can predict what the consequences of opening up mutual markets will be.

However, most courtiers did not dare to say these words openly.

Of course, there are always "stupid young people" in the court, either voluntarily or forced, such as the Pei Xiuzan in front of me.

On the high throne, Zhu Qiyu's eyes also fell on this not-so-young Hanlin editor.

Pei Lun, the third flower in Yongle's 19th year, was outstanding in talent and learning, good at poetry and prose, and was still a tough guy.

It's a pity that it is not suitable for officialdom.

To a certain extent, he is similar to Xue Xuan, but the difference is that Xue Xuan can create a school of thought and has his own way.

But Pei Lun is a real rotten Confucian. From the time he was a Jinshi, he was awarded the title of Hanlin editor. Up to now, it has taken more than 20 years, but from the seventh grade editor to the sixth grade editor.

In his previous life, Zhu Qiyu often saw his memorials, and his literary talent was quite good. Unfortunately, he could only talk rhetorically, and he only talked about the righteousness of a saint. He neither understood practical matters nor knew how to make friends.

Let him be the leader, Gao Gu really makes the best use of his talents.

However, Zhu Qiyu did not answer Pei Lun's question.

Pei Lun's mere compilation by a Hanlin scholar was not enough for him to explain it himself.

However, what surprised him was that the first one to stand up was Xiao Tan, a Hanlin scholar who had always had no sense of presence.

"Pei Lun, the basis of court discussions is for each person to express his or her own opinion. Now that the issue of mutual trading has not yet been decided, you have presumed your superiors' intentions and threatened the emperor with words. You are really bold and want to retreat!"

Zhu Qiyu's expression was a little complicated.

He also had some contradictions in his heart about Xiao Fan. This man had outstanding talents and a stable and mature character. He was also one of the ministers he relied on in his previous life.

The reason for the contradiction is that this person's position is somewhat strange.

When Zhu Qiyu deposed the crown prince in his previous life, he strongly opposed it.

Later, Zhu Qiyu became seriously ill, and the court officials wanted to help Zhu Jianshen back to the East Palace, but he strongly opposed it on the grounds that the crown prince had been deposed and re-establishing him would be against the will of his superiors.

All in all, this is a loyal minister. Like Yu Qian, he also has the shackles of etiquette in his heart, but relatively speaking, the kindness of knowing and meeting him is more important to him.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qiyu asked him to be a Hanlin bachelor in this life.

However, during this period of turmoil in the court, Xiao Tan's character was a bit soft, so Zhu Qiyu did not let him participate too much in court affairs.

But I never thought that he would stand up at this moment.

In any case, Xiao Tan is the current bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and Pei Lun's immediate boss. When he spoke, Pei Lun had no choice but to retreat even if he was unwilling to do so.

But just as Pei Lun stood back to his original position, another person appeared in the Hanlin Academy, and it was Peng Shi, the imperial minister.

However, his spearhead was not aimed at the emperor, but at Wang Wen.

"In the battle at Wala, I was sent to Liaodong as an envoy, and it was Master Tianguan who reached the so-called agreement with Tuotuo Buhua. Why didn't you say a word? Is it possible that you have a guilty conscience?"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes turned around on Pei Lun and Peng Shi, and he finally came back to his senses.

It turned out that Pei Lun's aggressive behavior just now was because he was not interested in drinking. His purpose was not Zhu Qiyu at all, but to provoke Wang Wen to speak.

As we all know, Wang Wen was a staunch warrior. He always advocated no compromise in his attitude towards Wala, and he was also a close confidant of the emperor.

When Pei Lun questioned the emperor on the grounds that he was the emperor, Wang Wen must have been unable to hold back and wanted to refute.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Tan intervened, so Peng Shi had to take over from Pei Lun and directly target Wang Wen.

Mr. Wang is not a vegetarian either. He gets angry when people call him names. If he doesn't retaliate, he will be sorry for his reputation.

Wang Wen snorted coldly as he strode up to Peng Shi.

"What does Peng Shidu want me to say?"

"Let me tell you, you were eyeing our capital first, but when our Ming Dynasty was in desperate need of troops, how did I brave the wind and snow, go deep into the enemy camp alone, urge Tuotuo Buhua to retreat, and determine the outcome of the Liaodong war?"

"Let's talk about it, how did Peng Shidu and Pei Xiuzan sit in the Hanlin Academy, compile books, compile history, recite poems and compose poems, and watch the storm when the Wala army was approaching?"

This attack was a bit broad, and the remaining officials of the Hanlin Academy could not help but blush slightly, feeling a little offended.

Fortunately, the old man's temper was well known to everyone in the court, and they themselves were just a disaster, so they could only smile bitterly.

However, Wang Wen's fighting power was obviously more than that. He took a step forward, looked at Peng Shi condescendingly, and continued.

"Peng Shidu wants me to tell you. I just want to ask Peng Shidu, when the capital was in turmoil and the borders were lost one after another, why didn't Peng Shidu ask you to go out to fight, use your beautiful articles, iron teeth and bronze teeth to fight against the bandits?

?”

"Now that the weather is calm and the fighting has ceased, you are jumping out to be weird and angry with me. What's your intention?"

The minister below looked at Peng Shi with a little pity in his eyes. Everyone in the government and the public didn't know that Wang Wen, an old man like Wang Wen, could make people angry to death when they quarreled.

You, Peng Shi, are a scholar who is accustomed to staying in the Hanlin Academy. You name people by name when you come up. It would be strange if you don't get slapped to death by Mr. Wang.

As expected, Peng Shi was a little confused by Wang Wen's series of rhetorical questions, and it took him a while to react.

Feeling the various looks directed at him from all directions, Peng Shi's face turned red, his whole body trembled, and he pointed at Wang Wendao.

"You are sophistry. You are arrogant and arrogant. You humiliate your colleagues in front of everyone. You are so polite that I am ashamed to stand in the same court with you!"

Seeing that Peng Shi was so angry that his beard was trembling, Wang Wen's face turned calm and he spoke.

"To be proud of one's merits, one must also have merits to rely on. A rotten scholar like Peng Shidu who can only hide in old papers to look for chapters and excerpts will have no merit to rely on even if he is determined to rely on merits."

"What's more, I am the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a second-rank official. You are just a fifth-rank attendant. If it were not for the permission of the Imperial Attendant to come to court early, you would not even be qualified to go to the palace today. How could you speak so brazenly here?

I am ashamed to share the same court with you."

As he spoke, Wang Wen rolled up his sleeves, glanced at Peng Shi, and looked like he had just remembered, and continued to do more damage in an understatement.

"By the way, I almost forgot, Peng Shidu is a fifth-grade official, and Peng Shidu is also included in the assessment for this Beijing inspection."

"It seems that you, an incompetent person like you who has been in office for more than 20 years and has made no achievements and can only talk and talk on paper, may not be able to stand in the court for a few days!"

Seeing Peng Shi speechless and looking shaky, Gao Gu beside him couldn't help but curse in his heart.

I knew this old guy was venomous, but I didn't expect him to be so venomous.

Feeling that if the scolding continued, Peng Shi might become autistic, Gao Gu quickly stepped out of the queue and said.

"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Wang Wen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, for abusing his power, uttering arrogant words in public, and threatening the imperial officials. This is really unworthy of his morality. Please convict him."
