Chen Zixuan looked bleak and looked up at the emperor Wang Lin, who was as powerful as the emperor of Yuan and Yue Zhi, and his heart was filled with despair.
The emperor did not pity his life, but used his attitude to warn everyone after him.
Just like Chen Zixuan, you can commit suicide when you go home, but if you want to rush to the palace gate in front of Chaotian Gate as your last struggle, you must consider the life of the Manchu tribe.
Chen Zixuan stuttered, he knelt on the ground, bowed heavily, and said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, I'm leaving now... But before I leave, I have a few words to say, please ask Your Majesty..."
Before Chen Zixuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor's blunt and indifferent: "That's the end. Chen Zixuan, I can be decent for you six... You should understand what I mean!"
Chen Zixuan sighed to the sky, "I will leave!"
After Chen Zixuan said that, he turned around and left.
The other five people also looked bleak and stumbled behind Chen Zixuan.
The other court officials present looked at each other, and some sensitive people had already guessed the fate of Chen Zixuan and the other six.
But most people are secretly happy.
Because the Yu Zhongchao case ended here, the sacrifices of Chen Zixuan and the six people to protect the future and lives of most people, in the eyes of most people, they are naturally a dead fellow Taoist who will not die.
Li Gang and Zong Ze looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
But they knew that the ending of Chen Zixuan and the other six was destined, and the emperor had already made up his mind. Even if it was their group of old cabinet ministers, it would be difficult for them to change the emperor's wishes.
Moreover, standing in front of the overall situation of Dayan, Li Gang also knew that only the sacrifice of Chen Zixuan and the other six could truly bring stability to the court.
After this incident, the so-called concept of scholars and officials governing the world together will never return.
The imperial power is supreme and no one can easily shake it.
Guo Zhishun knelt there and felt mixed feelings, feeling scared and sweated coldly.
If he had not made a quick decision, even though he was the father of the emperor's concubine, the emperor would have waved his butcher knife at him for the sake of the stability of the power of the Great Yan.
Huang Qishan sighed in his heart.
Strictly speaking, he is also considered an endorseer of the Shilin class.
But compared with the so-called class interests, Huang Qishan knew that national interests were above everything else.
In the current situation, only if the emperor takes over the power and establishes the precepts of the court, can he lead the ship Dayan to sail through the wind and waves to the other side of the glorious.
And everything the emperor has done so far is beneficial to the country, country, and the common people.
This is a key factor for Huang Qishan to unswervingly follow the emperor.
Besides, if the Great Yan had no Emperor Wang Lin, how could he resist the invasion of the Jin Kingdom?
What’s more, how to open up boundaries and create immortal achievements?
As a politician, Huang Qi is good at studying history and knowing that at any time, a great emperor can only create a great era. Now, if he wants to do big things, he must concentrate and not be constrained.
The ministers standing beside the military affairs office, such as Zhang Jun, Ma Kuo, Han Ting, Liu Qi, Yue Fei, Gu Qingchuan and others, were eager to try it out.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Zixuan and six others gave up their posts, and the positions of the six ministers of the Military Affairs Department will be replaced by six ministers of the Military Affairs Department. These six people have truly become prime ministers.
However, the uprising of six members from the Military Affairs Office does not represent the victory of the New Party.
The old party led by Li Gang did not decline because of the resignation of Chen Zixuan and the other six. The two parties were still in a delicate balance state, and it would be difficult for anyone to kill anyone. This is what the emperor really wanted to see.
result.
It is impossible to completely break the party struggles in the affairs of the government.
If you destroy this party, other parties will emerge.
In Wang Lin's view, the old and new parties represent the two trends of innovation and conservatism, conservatism and radicalism in the court, which is actually very normal.
As long as the emperor is in the center and balanced, there will be no hidden dangers in the court.
The emperor stood under the tall archway of Chaotianmen, looked up at the archway built in the Khitan period. Since the Dayan moved the capital to this point, it has become a symbol of the Dayan royal family.
On both sides of the archway, two stone lions stand.
The three gilded characters "Chaotianque" are shining in the sun at this moment.
After Chaotianmen, less than a hundred meters away is Zhengyangmen in the imperial city.
Obviously, Chaotianmen is the dividing line between the imperial city and the inner city.
Recently, Chaotianmen has repeatedly become an important place for court officials to make a political gesture of forcing the palace.
After crossing Chaotianmen, the real fact of forcing the palace is formed.
Even Chen Zixuan and others dare not do it easily.
But outside Chaotianmen, this large square often becomes a place for courtiers and scholars to gather.
In the heart of Emperor Wang Lin, Chaotianmen had long become an important manifestation that threatened the stability of imperial power.
Wang Lin was silent for a long time.
He suddenly bent down, rolled up his sleeves, and shouted in front of everyone, and overthrew the two stone lions weighing four or five hundred pounds to the ground.
The stone lions hit the ground one after another, smashing a large pit, filled with smoke and dust.
The court officials and scholars looked pale.
Wang Lin turned slowly, looked around the court officials and the scholars present, and said indifferently: "I sent an order to demolish the Chaotian Gate Archway, and build the Chaotian Hall here. I will receive envoys from all over the country here in the future."
Li Gang and others bowed to accept the order.
Wang Lin took a deep breath, then slowly walked towards Guo Zhishun, who had been kneeling for two or three hours, and said calmly: "Guo Zhishun, get up. I remember that you have made contributions to the state's finances, and I have forgiven you for your merits and demerits.
No longer pursue your poor education. But the Guo family does many illegal things, I..."
Guo Zhishun's body trembled violently.
He knew that the emperor would determine the life and death of his second son Guo Liang.
According to common sense, Guo Liang's life should not be saved.
Although Guo Zhishun had been mentally prepared for a long time, his heart was still heartbroken when he reached this moment.
"I passed the imperial edict, Guo Liang, the son of the Guo family, was illegal, but he was not as guilty as possible. He could not forgive his death. He was punished with a stick and was sentenced to thirty years of imprisonment. He was exiled to the southwest barbarians for three thousand miles, and could not return to the Central Plains forever, and was forgiven.
Guo Zhishun was not strict in teaching his son, so he went to the three departments of the Mansion to open the official Yitong Department, and was fined one year. He was demoted to the first level and kept his post to check, and he was punished for his crimes."
The emperor's punishment seems to be no different from the conviction of Guo Liang in death in many people.
But Guo Zhishun knew it well that the emperor had already opened his mouth.
He was exiled to the southwest of the Vientiane Kingdom. King of Vientiane was the emperor's concubine. Although Guo Liang was exiled to this point, he would not have lost his life.
Guo Zhishun cried bitterly, shouting long live to thank him, but because he had been kneeling for too long and was nervous, he shouted for a long time and suddenly turned black in front of him and fainted on the ground.
Wang Lin waved his hand, and Yan Qing quickly ordered the Jinyiwei to take Guo Zhishun down.
Wang Lin looked around everyone again and said loudly: "Yu Zhongchao has been in great sins, has deceived the world and robbed the world and has been rampant for decades, and has been one of the few traitors in our Dayan Dynasty.
However, Yu Zhongchao's case is very involved. I thought about it over and over again and decided to only punish the main evil, not to blame the rest, and not to blame the past.
The imperial edict was issued to punish Yu Zhongchao Ming's official orders, and all the family resources in various places were filled into the national treasury and returned the women he seized. All the sons of Yu Zhongchao were beheaded and displayed in public.
Chen Zixuan and other six ministers received a large amount of bribes from Zhongchao and were already the leader of his illegal party members. He asked his six people to commit suicide at home, his family was confiscated, and his family members were expelled from Beijing."
Wang Lin said this and said indifferently: "My decision is appropriate for all the ministers in the cabinet?"
Li Gang took the lead in bowing to the ground: "Your Majesty is wise! I obey the order!"
Zongze, Huang Qishan, Wu Min and others all bowed to the ground, shouting long live the mountain.
Wang Lin looked at Zhang Jun and six other ministers of the Military Affairs Department with a deep gaze.
Zhang Jun and others were excited and their faces turned red.
As ministers of the Military Affairs Department, they are equivalent to a private staff team independent of the imperial court, which belongs to the emperor. If they are in charge of the six ministries as they wish, they will be undoubtedly the prime minister.
From then on, he was the most powerful minister.
Especially Han Ting, he was extremely excited.
At this point, his distance from the ancestors of the Han family was the prime minister of the current dynasty was greatly shortened.
From now on, he is destined to be the helm of the Han family's lintel in the next few decades.
His status will also be in the family of ancestors.
Wang Lin said slowly: "I passed the order, Zhang Jun was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, Ma Kuo was appointed as the Minister of Rites, Han Ting was appointed as the Minister of Revenue, Liu Qi was appointed as the Minister of Works, Gu Qingchuan was appointed as the Minister of Justice, and Yue Fei was appointed as the Minister of War.
Zong Ze was appointed as the Privy Council Privy Council Privy Council, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were appointed as the Deputy Privy Council Privy Council.
He was invited to Yan Qing, Han Shizhong, Yang Yizhong, Zhang Jun, Guan Sheng, and Liu Guangshi as Ministers of the Military Affairs Department and Counselors of Military Affairs."
Everyone knelt on the ground to receive the order.
Such an appointment was expected by everyone.
Li Gang and the five were prime ministers, Zhang Jun and others were in charge of six departments as deputy prime ministers of the cabinet, and Yan Qing and six were new ministers of military affairs. The Military Affairs Office truly became the military counselor of military affairs, rather than the second cabinet office of the court.
This is actually a good thing and a major benefit for the cabinet formed by Li Gang and others.
Yan Qing and Yang Yizhong were slightly surprised.
Han Shizhong was a famous general in the army. Not to mention being the minister of the Military Affairs Department, he was also the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. In terms of military merits, talents and status in the army, he deserved his reputation.
But Yan Qing didn't expect that he could enter too.
As the helmsman of the emperor's largest spy agency, Yan Qing positioned himself as a lonely minister.
But obviously the emperor was not prepared to let him be an orphan minister.
As for Yang Yizhong, although he has a great responsibility to control the Imperial Guard, he has little qualifications after all. This time, he directly took the title of Minister of the Military Affairs Department, which is undoubtedly an extraordinary promotion beyond the level.
...
Before the emperor returned to the palace, the news had already been sent back to the girls in the harem.
For the queen Han Yan, of course, she felt very happy that her brother Han Ting officially entered the front office of the court and also controlled the most important Ministry of Revenue of the court. This means that the Han family will or has already released a new cabinet.
Minister, Prime Minister.
For Guo Yuan, who was most nervous at this moment, his father Guo Zhishun saved his position as a cabinet minister, and the Guo family did not really encounter the Yu Zhongchao case. The key is that his second brother Guo Liang saved his life.
This is already considered the emperor's endless favor for the Guo family.
Guo Yuan was so excited that she burst into tears, and snuggled in Zhu Lian's arms and sobbed.
Zhu Lian sighed and said with a sigh: "Girl, you want to tell Xiang Guo that everything is impossible. Your Majesty has protected the Guo family under the tremendous pressure from the court officials. Please be clear about it in your heart. It is better to act carefully in the future.
