Four hundred and ninetieth chapters make meritorious deeds
As soon as these words came out, the officials in the Jinluan Palace were in an uproar, looking at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.
They did not expect that Li Chengyou, who had always been stable, would boldly recommend a guilty person today.
This is really too weird and makes people puzzled.
Speaking of which, even if the ministers and officials in the Jinluan Palace were eager to solve the Nanyi State issue, it did not mean that they would compromise and agree to let Emperor Qianxi release Ling Yun from the Heavenly Prison.
Going to Nanyi Prefecture, even if it was a smoky place, there would most likely be an accident on the way, but no matter what, they just couldn't see Ling Yun being released.
All the officials in the palace had different expressions, but Gao Anxiang was the first to sit still and jumped out impatiently. He glared at Li Chengyou fiercely and objected, "This is just nonsense. Mr. Li, do you know what you are talking about?"
Gao Anxiang first questioned him and put Li Chengyou at a disadvantage, thereby arousing the indignation of others in the palace and ensuring that after him, others would come forward to express their dissatisfaction.
Then he looked back at the crowd to observe the changes in their expressions, and then looked at Li Chengyou and snorted coldly, "Master Li, I am not the one causing trouble. I think all the adults sitting here also have many doubts in their hearts. Today I don't care whether Ling Yun is guilty or not, how can he be qualified for such a big task just because he is a fifth-grade bachelor?"
After a heated argument, he did not forget to sarcastically say, "Master Li, is it because you have been too tired recently and have lost your memory? According to my understanding, although this Nanyi Prefecture is a little remote, no matter what, this Nanyi Zhizhou is a real deal." He is of the fourth rank. I think when Mr. Wang went to take office, he was already of the fourth rank, but Lingyun was only of the fifth rank, which is obviously not qualified."
After Gao Anxiang finished speaking, he immediately gave Li Chengyou a disdainful expression to show his dissatisfaction.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qiwen, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, couldn't bear the loneliness and stood up to agree, "What Master Gao said is absolutely true. Although Nanyi Prefecture is far to the south, no matter what, it is still a fourth-grade official position. Ling Yun is the only one." We still don’t know how your majesty will punish this guilty person, but Mr. Li wants to send him to Nanyi Prefecture to serve as the governor."
While speaking, Lin Qiwen's eyes suddenly stared straight at Li Chengyou, his eyes full of provocation, and the expression on his face was slightly sarcastic, as if he was very disdainful of Li Chengyou's words.
I only heard him continue, "I dare to ask Mr. Li, this Ling Yun is a guilty person. Now, Mr. Li not only refuses to report to your majesty to punish him severely, but also wants to recommend him as the magistrate of Nanyi Prefecture and entrust him with important tasks. Haha... If this spreads out, won't it arouse criticism from the scholars? Such a fanciful recommendation, in my opinion, is really ridiculous!"
After Lin Qiwen finished speaking, more people came forward one after another to second their opinions. At that time, the originally silent Jinluan Hall was turned upside down because of Li Chengyou's earth-shattering words.
The quietest person in Jinluan Hall is none other than Wang Zhengyang.
Because since he returned to Beijing, he has never seen the Ling Yun they talked about, but during this period of time, the rumors about him have never stopped in his ears.
This couldn't help but attract his attention. He wanted to know who this so-called Ling Yun was, and why so many people in the civil and military dynasties were trying to inflict insults on him. It was really strange!
Emperor Qianxi above, quietly watching every move in the Jinluan Palace, originally did not want to yell out loud, but if the ministers below were allowed to act freely, something might happen, so he shouted, " How can it be appropriate to be silent and noisy during court discussions?"
When Li Chengyou stood up to speak, Emperor Qianxi thought he was recommending himself. Of course he was unwilling to let him go, so he repeatedly stopped him from speaking.
Emperor Qianxi did this not because of Ling Yun, but because Li Chengyou himself had already broken the trust of Emperor Qianxi, so how could Emperor Qianxi be willing to send himself, one of the few trusted ministers, to a remote area as a last resort.
If he really wants to be sent abroad, he must send those ministers who always oppose him.
But what Emperor Qianxi never expected was that Li Chengyou's answer caught him off guard. What he said in the imperial study room yesterday was clearly that he requested to be sent abroad just to rescue his apprentice.
Now, he has done a big turn and recommended himself to Ling Yun.
Emperor Qianxi never paid attention to this issue, that is, the issue of the governor of Nanyi Prefecture. Even if Princess Yucheng happened in the palace, he never wanted to exile Ling Yun to that kind of place.
But now when I heard Li Chengyou mention it, I felt that I could use this matter on Ling Yun. Of course, Emperor Qianxi didn't mean to send Ling Yun to that kind of place, but he could use this matter as a threat to prevent him from doing so. Don't give in to yourself.
Emperor Qianxi thought, maybe when Lingyun heard the three words Nanyizhou, he would pee and bow his head in submission. That kind of scene is interesting just thinking about it.
Under Emperor Qianxi's scolding, all the officials fell silent for an instant in the Jinluan Palace, anxiously waiting for the reprimand from above. But just when they were frightened, they quietly discovered that the corners of Emperor Qianxi's mouth above him were slightly raised.
This was just the inner thought of Emperor Qianxi, how could it be reflected in the Jinluan Palace.
But what a coincidence, this scene happened to fall in Ke Baiguan's eyes. He thought he was hallucinating, so he rubbed his eyes hard, but surprisingly found that there was no change.
Looking at the people next to them, they looked at each other with shock and dumbfounded expressions on their faces. Only then did they convince themselves that they were right, Emperor Qianxi was really smiling.
Perhaps noticing the abnormality below, Emperor Qianxi instantly stopped smiling, glanced coldly below, and snorted coldly.
After the officials below asked, they were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads. Only then did Emperor Qianxi's expression soften.
After a long pause, Emperor Qianxi turned his attention to Wang Yangyu and asked, "Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think of Li Aiqing's words?"
Wang Yangyu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Could it be that Emperor Qianxi discovered their affair, otherwise why would he suddenly click on him?
Does this mean anything?
Wang Zhengyang thought wildly for a while, then recovered his thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that all these ideas require your Majesty's consent. But in the final analysis, Ling Yun is the number one scholar selected by your Majesty, and he should be punished if he commits a crime. Punishment can be punished, and at the same time, it can also make him guilty and meritorious. In the case of Nanyi Prefecture, it is indeed a good choice."
