A court meeting, especially a large court meeting in which hundreds of officials participate at the same time, naturally has strict etiquette regulations, and there are even special etiquette officers and patrol censors responsible for checking the etiquette.
After Tingti promoted the six ministers, he promoted the admiral of the capital camp. This was a predetermined rule.
Logically speaking, Li Xian's appearance at this time actually broke the rules.
So as soon as he finished speaking, a censor came out and said: "Your Highness, King Xian, I impeach Fengcheng Marquis Li Xian for disrespecting the court, overstepping etiquette, and disturbing the court. Please punish him for his crime!"
Li Xian glanced at the two or three censors who stood up one after another, and said calmly: "Since I am a court official, and as the governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, why can't I say something?"
The censors ignored him and said: "Your Highness, the ceremonial procedures for the court meeting have been formulated by the Ministry of Rites. If Marquis Fengcheng has any objections, he should discuss it with the Ministry of Rites before the court meeting. If he rashly disturbs the court by saying something like this before the court meeting,
To push back is actually a breach of etiquette and should be punished."
Li Xian was not angry at all, he also cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the things I have reported are related to the upcoming court proceedings, so I need to report them in advance."
After the words fell, the eyes of the nine ministers on the side darkened.
After all, are the relatives still dissatisfied with the Ministry of War nominating the admiral of the capital camp?
When he was about to speak, he saw Zhu Qiyu, who was standing above him, stretched out his hand and pressed down, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. Although there are regulations for court meetings, since Marquis Fengcheng has said that what he is going to report is related to the court hearing, you might as well wait for a while and listen to it before talking! Yu Shangshu, you should be in charge of the following court hearing.
What do you think?"
After hearing Zhu Qiyu's words, the officials wanted to object, but then they heard Zhu Qiyu mention Yu Qian's name, so they swallowed their words.
They believed that as one of the newly promoted Nine Ministers, Yu Qian would stand firm on their behalf.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Yu Qian cupped his hands and said, "I will follow your Majesty's order."
Now others can't object even if they want to. They won't have to refute the minister of the Ministry of War over a trivial act of indecency.
Especially in this great court meeting, where all the civil and military officials, nobles and military ministers are watching, you must not be laughed at for the civil servants fighting among themselves...
As a result, all the officials below looked at Yu Qian with a bit more dissatisfaction.
Yu Qian naturally felt it, but he didn't care. That day in the Jiyi Palace, King Tan left him alone and said that he would hand over the capital camp to the Ministry of War. He didn't believe it at first.
Even now, Yu Qian is still skeptical about whether King Tan can accomplish this, but if there is such an opportunity, Yu Qian will definitely try his best to seize it.
There is no other reason than that in this situation, the defense of the capital must rely on the capital camp. In this case, it is best to control the capital camp in one's own hands.
Yu Qian's original plan was to support a relative with no basic connections and then indirectly control the Beijing camp, but this was not as convenient as directly controlling the Ministry of War.
So in this situation, Yu Qian doesn't mind going with the flow and waiting to see what happens.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Li Xian handed over the memorial and said, "I have three things to say."
"First, to impeach the marquis of Zhenyuan, Gu Xingzu, Jianping Bo Gaoyuan, Zhongyong Bo Jiang Xin, Dali Temple Prime Minister Xiao Weizhen and other accompanying ministers. They have no plans and courage, and have restrained treacherous ministers, causing disaster to the army. I sincerely request Your Highness to arrest and imprison all of them.
."
After the words fell, the officials below...
???
What kind of rhythm is this? The sun is coming out in the west?
This group of honorable relatives would actually impeach one of their own. Are you blind and wrong?
The Kedao censors who followed behind were even more filled with indignation.
Old thing, you've gone too far, you know?
This is our Kedao job, okay?
You know, today they were recuperating and gearing up, preparing to hold a grand speech after the court election, but now someone stole the limelight?
This old guy, at his age, comes out to steal people's jobs. It's really unreasonable!
At that moment, a censor stood up and beat him down.
"His Royal Highness, the King of Yin, I impeached Li Xian, Marquis of Fengcheng, for deliberately covering up, avoiding the important and taking the easy, in order to exonerate the guilty minister. Gu Xingzu and others were unjust and unfaithful, causing concern for the Holy Lord. As a result, rivers of blood flowed, corpses were scattered everywhere, and they were dismissed from office and seized titles, and their property was confiscated.
, clarifying the canonical punishments to serve as a warning to all the people in the court.”
Don’t think that you can get away with it if you take the initiative to stand up!
Although the plan was disrupted, seven or eight censors immediately came out and agreed.
Do you really think they didn't see it?
Is this Marquis of Fengcheng just trying to reduce the guilt of Gu Xingzu and others by taking advantage of the honorable nobles to plead guilty?
There are no doors!
All of a sudden, the ministers below were talking a lot, and more and more censors were eager to give it a try, which made the nine ministers present frown.
Even if you want to remonstrate, it is not at this time...
What if your purpose is not to save people at all, but to disturb Ting Tui?
They each looked at each other, and they were about to speak, when they saw Cheng'an Marquis Guo Sheng standing up from among the military ministers at the other end and said.
"It's great that the thief is out and the thief has been shouted out. Just now you impeached Marquis Fengcheng for disrupting the court and violating the court's etiquette. Now it's your turn. Are you all so presumptuous?"
"The Marquis of Fengcheng has just spoken and announced three things. Now that none of them have been announced yet, you are impatient. Isn't it disrespectful to the court? If you don't stand upright, how can you be ranked as a minister with good ethics and integrity?"
???
Damn it!
In the court of the Ming Dynasty, only the censors of the imperial court had always been able to criticize others. How could anyone dare to turn the tables on others?
Guo Sheng's two words immediately made all the censors furious, and someone immediately retorted.
"You military ministers do not want to serve the country, but they are very capable of rhetoric. When Marquis Fengcheng played the report earlier, the things he said were related to Ting Tui. His Majesty the King of Yin allowed him to speak, but what he said was not
It has nothing to do with Ting Tui, but we want to take the opportunity to protect the guilty minister. We speak uprightly and clear the source, so what is wrong?"
When it comes to the skill of trolling, who are they afraid of?
Guo Sheng stopped talking, but Li Xian said: "Have I ever said that the three things I wrote are all related to Ting Tui? Naturally, some are related to Ting Tui, and some have nothing to do with Ting Tui. Could it be that it is a memorial?
, can’t you ask me to perform the performance twice?”
As he spoke, Li Xian shook his sleeves and snorted coldly.
"What a majesty!"
Seeing another commotion among the ministers below, Zhu Qiyu raised his hand and acted as peacemaker again: "Marquis Fengcheng, what the ministers said is not unreasonable. I allow you to speak for the sake of the court.
, I will not discuss the matter of Gu Xingzu and others for the time being. If you have nothing to do with Tingtui, please leave quickly."
With Zhu Qiyu stepping in to "pull the balance", the situation gradually calmed down.
However, after hearing these words, Jiu Qing present, especially Chen Yi, could not help but twitch his eyelids.
Why don't we discuss the matter of Gu Xingzu and others for now?
They just didn't want their relatives to pick the peach, and they just wanted to help Gu Xingzu get out of the crime. Why did they just put it aside for the time being?
I wanted to speak, but then I remembered that Guo Sheng had just said that they interrupted Li Xian's performance, which was a breach of etiquette at the meeting, so I had to swallow the words temporarily and wait for Li Xian to finish speaking before refuting.
Li Xian paid no attention to them. He cupped his hands and continued: "Your Highness, the second thing I want to tell you is about the court affairs."
"In the civil war, all the military officials of the Honorable Qi were killed and wounded. Now we are pressing forward with the army. I am admonishing His Highness in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Nanjing Central Army Governor's Mansion. I ask His Majesty to recruit a few of my veterans and take charge of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion on the left and right."
The Military Governor's Mansion and the Rear Army Governor's Mansion."
After saying this, the eyes of the officials present were like pinpricks, and they immediately focused on Li Xian, including many big shots at the level of Jiuqing.
Zhu Qiyu frowned, looked at Li Xian, and said, "What do you mean by Marquis Fengcheng, to recommend three Governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion together?"
Facing everyone's gaze, Li Xian nodded slowly...
