An old fox is an old fox. What he said is so accurate. He seems to be extremely magnanimous and self-reproaching. The image of a person who thinks about the court wholeheartedly and has the courage to take on responsibilities is about to emerge. Those who don’t know will probably praise him greatly.
Guo Chong nodded and said: "That's right. Well, Lu Aiqing, I'll give you half a year's salary as punishment for this matter. From now on, Aiqing should be more cautious and considerate of Zhou Xiang. Lin Jue, what do you think?
how?"
Lin Jue sneered and said in a deep voice: "Since the emperor can forgive me, what can I say? I hope Prime Minister Lu can learn a lesson. For such serious consequences, the emperor only gave such a light punishment. Prime Minister Lu, if I were you
, I will definitely shed tears of gratitude and appreciate the emperor’s great kindness. If I don’t serve the imperial court with all my strength after this, will I still be a human being?”
The expression on Lu Zhongtian's face changed, and he kept cursing in his heart. This guy's words were rude, and he was totally humiliated today. But fortunately, this guy didn't go into details, otherwise, he might have another purpose to attract the emperor's attention, which would be terrible.
It's not a good thing. The reason why I provoked the rebellion among the bandits was because I wanted Guo Xu to take credit for suppressing the rebellion and add decisive weight to the position of the prince. If the emperor knew about this, I would be afraid of my head.
It can't be saved.
Guo Chong breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Lin Jue would insist on insisting. Now it seems that Lin Jue still has a sense of proportion. But when he thought that Lin Jue had impeached two other people, Guo Chong's scalp began to feel numb again.
"Your Majesty, the second person I want to impeach is Privy Councilor Yang Jun. I am impeaching Yang Jun for improper appointment of the prime minister, and also made major mistakes in countering the rebellion." Lin Jue did not give everyone a chance to breathe, and pointed the finger.
Targeting Yang Jun again.
Yang Jun was different from Lu Zhongtian. He had a nonchalant smile on his face and said loudly to Lin Jue: "Master Lin, what you mean is that the prime ministers and privy councilors of my Zhou Dynasty are incompetent? Then let's replace it with you, Master Lin.
Just be the Privy Councilor. Don't think that you are arrogant just because you have made a small contribution. At your age, I am not inferior to you. I have already led the army to fight with the Xixia people for several battles. I have more scars on my body than your age, but you
Are you here to accuse me of banishing me? The rules of our Zhou Dynasty are now messed up, and anyone can point fingers in the court. Your Majesty, I suggest that this person be kicked out. He has no qualifications to point fingers here."
Before Guo Chong smacked his lips, Lin Jue sneered and said: "Privy Yang has such great official power. Our Zhou Dynasty has always attached great importance to the smooth flow of speech. Officials, no matter how big or small, have the right to make petitions. Just say a word from Privy Yang."
If you say this, it will cut off my career in Dazhou? If the official is impeached improperly, he will be dealt with according to the court's laws, and it will not be Privy Yang's turn to convict the official. If Mr. Yang wants to discuss qualifications, it is nothing more than using you in
Let’s talk about the Xixia incident. But in my opinion, what’s the glory in that? Is Privy Yang proud of the ‘Extermination Order’?”
He doesn't hit people in the face, he doesn't expose his faults when he scolds them. Lin Jue doesn't care. He stabs at the opponent's weakness as soon as he opens his mouth, and directly uses the extermination order to make the case. You know, this is what Yang Jun has been criticized for so many years. There have been
For many years, no one dared to speak out about the extermination order in person, fearing that Yang Jun would retaliate. Today, Lin Jue pointed his gun at the vital point, and many people felt happy and secretly worried about Lin Jue.
"You! Okay, okay, okay!" Yang Jun's face turned red with anger, and he kept saying a few good words.
Lin Jue said reluctantly: "There is nothing I can do if Mr. Yang is unhappy. I am not afraid of offending Mr. Yang. This subordinate is not Yang Xiu. After saying a few words, he was locked up in the storyteller's room in Chongzheng Palace for more than ten years.
A dignified first-class Jinshi has been made even more miserable than a petty official. If anyone treats me like this, I will not shut up and say nothing."
Yang Jun was so angry that he almost burst into rage. He understood that Lin Jue was angry with him because of the death of Yan Fang and his two men. Although he and Lin Jue were not harmonious, he could be considered a supporter of him.
This guy suddenly bit back like a mad dog, seemingly ignoring everything.
"Your Majesty, look at it. Mr. Yang is the Privy Councilor of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and he also has the favor of supporting and recommending Mr. Lin. But Mr. Lin is so sarcastic and ridiculing, which is really unbecoming. Jumping up and down like this, he has no regard for his superiors and is ungrateful.
It’s really hard to watch.” Wu Chunlai said angrily from the side.
Lin Jue smiled at Wu Chunlai and said: "Vice Minister Wu, you are so flattering to me. Speaking of ingratitude, as far as I know, there is a person in this dynasty who is much more powerful than me. I dare not accept such a compliment.
As long as that person is here, it is not my turn to be ungrateful. Vice Minister Wu should know who this person is, so there is no need for me to name him."
"Pfft!" Someone in the hall couldn't help laughing.
Wu Chunlai was extremely angry. He followed the sound and saw a group of serious faces. The man reacted quickly and his face was solemn. He didn't know who was mocking him.
"Lin Jue, if you have something to say, why should you get involved with anything else? Don't be rude!" Guo Chong shouted with a frown. Lin Jue's performance today was extremely aggressive. He seemed to ignore everything. In addition to impeaching the two important ministers and Guo Xu, he
The sarcasm in his words was undisguised, which made Guo Chong feel very unhappy. He was already a little angry.
Lin Jue bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the reason why I impeach Mr. Yang is because Mr. Yang made a serious mistake in suppressing the rebellion. I would like to ask your Majesty and your lords, what are the responsibilities of the Privy Council?
?”
Guo Chong frowned and said, "What's the point of asking? The Privy Council is in charge of military affairs, so the Privy Council envoy is naturally in charge of matters related to the military affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Yes, even if it is said that the Privy Council has military power, if there is a rebellion and war, the Privy Council must make countermeasures, mobilize troops, appoint generals, allocate grain and supplies, and fight the enemy. Is that true?"
"That's right." Guo Chong frowned.
Lin Jue said: "The military is a major event for the country, and the important ministers who are in charge of the army. Once chaos breaks out, the country will rely on the privy envoys to mobilize troops and generals to calm the situation, so the responsibility is extremely heavy. If the privy envoys are incompetent and have no way of dispatching, they will
It will have extremely bad consequences, right?"
Guo Chong finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, what are you trying to do with me? What on earth are you going to say?"
Lin Jue bowed and said: "What I want to say is that when quelling the Qingjiao rebellion this time, Privy Councilor Yang made a major mistake in deploying troops and generals. The Qingjiao chaos broke out, and overnight the east and west roads of Beijing
All fell into the hands of the religious bandits, and all five counties in the north of Beijing fell. This is enough to show that the religious bandits are powerful. As the Privy Envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when you assess the situation and know this situation, you should understand that quelling the rebellion of the religious bandits is not a trivial matter. In this case
, we should dispatch heavy troops to go there. But what did Privy Yang do? He actually dispatched two princes to lead the army. He simply regarded countering the rebellion as a piece of cake. It is known to everyone that His Highness the King of Jin does not understand military affairs. Although His Highness the King of Huai is here
Bian Zhen has led troops and fought in battles, but as far as I know, that is just the title of captain, and he has participated in a few small conflicts. It cannot be regarded as leading troops in battles at all. In this case, it is necessary to ask two princes
Leading the army to fight, this has to be said to be ill-informed and hasty. The serious consequences that followed, and the several major setbacks encountered in countering the rebellion were all related to this matter. We cannot know how to make good use of people, and put such a major relationship to the stability of the country.
Treating things like child's play, isn't this Privy Yang's dereliction of duty?"
Lin Jue's words were loud and clear, leaving no room for refutation. All his words were based on reason, at least on the surface they were reasonable.
Yang Jun stood there with a frown, not knowing how to respond for a moment. This matter was said to be his responsibility, and he indeed had an unshirkable responsibility. But under the circumstances, it was Lu Zhongtian who suggested that King Huai lead the army to quell the rebellion, and the emperor
He nodded in agreement. He just suggested to let the eldest prince lead the army to quell the rebellion in Beijing just to balance the situation. And he actually made preparations and assigned several good generals to the two princes as deputies. In Yang Jun's opinion, even if the eldest prince
The prince Guo Mian does not understand military affairs, and the second prince Guo Xu is not the best candidate to command the troops. But with strong help and strength, suppressing the rebellion is not a big problem. But who would have thought that teaching
The resistance of the bandits was unexpected, and there were indeed twists and turns in the process, resulting in the death and injury of many Forbidden Army soldiers.
Because of the great victory in counterinsurgency, no one mentioned this matter. Yang Jun himself was even less likely to take the initiative to summarize the matter and admit his mistake. But he did not expect that Lin Jue would shake it out today. The key to the problem is that,
Yang Jun still had no words to retort, it was the emperor's decision, he just followed the emperor's wishes.
Lu Zhongtian did not dare to express anything. This matter was originally related to his provoking the Qingjiao rebellion. He provoked the Qingjiao rebellion just so that Guo Xu could lead the army to quell the chaos and earn a vital contribution.
If he stood up and spoke at this moment, it would be like igniting the fire that had just been extinguished on him. Lin Jue didn't know what to say yet, and Lu Zhongtian didn't want to get involved again, so he lowered his head.
Staying silent on the sidelines.
Guo Chong sat on the throne and frowned. He naturally understood that this matter had little to do with Yang Jun. It was something he had agreed to at the time, and the root cause was himself. The problem was that Lin Jue's impeachment was well-founded. If he didn't come forward,
Speaking of which, Yang Jun must bear this responsibility. Could he still punish Yang Jun?
"Lin Jue, what you said...well...I know it. Logically speaking, what you said is right. But...there is a reason for this...that's all...I
Let's be honest, I agreed to this matter. My purpose is also to let Guo Mian and Guo Xu lead the army to have some experience. Didn't the Qingjiao rebellion also subside? Let me see, you should not be entangled in this matter.
Okay?" Guo Chong said softly, with a hint of humble pleading in his words.
Lin Jue sneered and said: "I see, it turned out to be the permission of the emperor. The emperor's nod has cost the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. If something goes wrong, how many people will die. Has the emperor admitted that he made a mistake?
