The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Chapter 703: Who can't lie down and let others laugh at them?

The East Court Room was silent for a long time, and no one spoke. This situation is rare in the court discussion with many people, which often leads to a lot of chatter.

If I want to make an analogy, it is that the reaction of Ye Mengxiong, the Grand Marshal, killed the conversation.

The purpose of the Qingliu forces is just to gain bargaining chips in the struggle, so they desperately put a big hat on Lin Tailai, such as five major crimes and three major atrocities, and say it as serious as possible.

In the eyes of everyone, this is a very normal operation and a common tactic in party struggles.

According to normal routines, the people on the Lin Party side should desperately defend and excuse Lin Jiuyuan.

Then it is likely that the Lin Party made certain concessions, the two sides reached a compromise, and Lin Jiuyuan's fault was lightly let go.

Who knew that Ye Da Sima, the most senior official in the Lin Party present, did not play according to common sense at all, and directly "lay down and let people laugh at him".

Could it be that Ye Da Sima had been working in the court for too short a time and was not familiar with some fixed routines in the court, so this embarrassing situation occurred?

Although Qian Yiben, the representative of the Qingliu faction, shouted so fiercely and his accomplices made such a commotion, it was absolutely impossible for the Qingliu faction to propose a severe punishment for Lin Jiuyuan.

Now Lin Jiuyuan's nine victories and three first-ascendances are like Yue Wumu who had just fought Zhuxian Town. If they dared to propose the dismissal of Lin Jiuyuan today, the public opinion situation would be "clear as day" tomorrow.

Don't forget that Lin Jiuyuan is still the quasi-leader of the literary world, he also has public opinion tools in his hands, and he is also closely related to the printing industry.

But if he only proposed "three glasses of wine" for the "five major crimes and three major atrocities", wouldn't that be a slap in his own face?

Sima Ye Mengxiong looked at the constipated faces of his opponents and thought to himself, could it be that he had accidentally mastered the trick of debate?

No wonder the organization didn't give him a plan. It turned out that there was no need to play at all, just flip the table directly.

So Ye Da Sima turned around and said aggressively: "Why are you silent?

Since you think Lin Jiuyuan is guilty, please come up with a disciplinary charter!

If no one proposes to convict Lin Jiuyuan, we can only assume that Lin Jiuyuan is not at fault!"

The Qingliu Party members could only look at each other for the time being, and several think tanks were quickly thinking about how to resolve the dilemma.

At this time, Zhou Yingqiu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, suddenly squeezed out of the crowd. His position was relatively backward.

For this young man who had only been in the court for three and a half years and was less than 30 years old, the court officials either had never seen him and were very unfamiliar with him, or had seen him and were extremely impressed.

How to say it, if Lin Tailai was pushed to the vegetable market and beheaded one day, Zhou Yingqiu would definitely be beheaded with him.

Others said that Jiuyuan Zhenxian Xingxiu had descended to the earth, which was more or less a joke, but Zhou Yingqiu seemed to really believe it.

In the previous three years, Zhou Yingqiu was just a scholar studying in the Hanlin Academy, and he was not qualified to speak in the court. This year, he was promoted to an editor and began to show his face.

Ye Da Sima, who was forced to confront Zhou Yingqiu, took the initiative to make way when he saw Zhou Yingqiu coming.

Zhou Yingqiu stared at Qian Yiben and said lightly: "If no one convicts Lin Jiuyuan, it means that Lin Jiuyuan is not at fault. Then impeaching and attacking Lin Jiuyuan is equivalent to framing.

In my opinion, framing the minister who led the troops to the expedition is equivalent to treason.

The court cannot tolerate such behavior and must crack down on it!

Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, it will be irresponsible to the thousands of soldiers on the expedition!"

The ministers were shocked when they heard this. This newcomer in the court surnamed Zhou was really cruel and ruthless!

Ye Da Sima was just squeezing his opponent, but this Zhou directly accused his opponent of treason!

Damn it! Qian Yiben was immediately shocked. Others didn't know his identity, but Zhou Yingqiu didn't know it?

Before Lin Tailai went to war, he specifically told him to contact Zhou Yingqiu alone. Do you still have political credibility?

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the window: "Will you allow me to say a few words?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that Yin Zhuoran, the envoy of the Kingdom of Korea, had been outside leaning on the window frame without knowing when, looking inside.

Zhou Yingqiu scolded him unceremoniously: "Get out! You have no right to speak in the court of the Ming Dynasty!

Allowing you to cry outside the Meridian Gate is already a great grace, how dare you go further!"

Envoy Yin Zheng refused to retreat, and said: "After all, it involves the affairs of my country, I will only say a few words!

Although Lord Lin Jiuyuan used thunderbolt means to save my country, he was kind-hearted.

Although there are some unsatisfactory aspects, I beg the court of the upper state not to impose heavy penalties, so as not to chill people's hearts!"

Hearing the speech of Envoy Yin Zheng, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. These words were equivalent to smoothing over the deadlock.

It must be said that this envoy of the Kingdom of Korea seems to be quite sensible.

After all, the envoys as the victim took the initiative to forgive, so naturally everyone was happy and had a way out.

It doesn't matter whether Lin Jiuyuan has committed a serious crime or not, anyway, the victims have forgiven him.

Especially Qian Yiben, who had been so high-profile, was finally able to temporarily escape unscrupulously after his reckless attack on Lin Tailai.

Qian Yiben turned his head and looked at Yin Zhengshi for a long time, his expression seemed very complicated, and his acting was mixed with anger, pity for his misfortune, and anger at his lack of struggle.

Finally, Qian Yiben turned around and snorted helplessly: "Since the Kingdom of Korea is magnanimous, there is no need to pursue the crime. Please ask the court to give Lin Tailai a written admonition!"

Zhou Yingqiu sneered disdainfully, looking at Qian Yiben with contempt in his eyes. This was the contempt of technical players for krypton gold players.

But Zhou Yingqiu did not say anything. In certain specific occasions, technical players also have to serve krypton gold players to ensure the gaming experience of krypton gold players.

The Qingliu Party members were helpless. The offensive against Lin Tailai's fault was easily resolved.

They did not get any benefits, and did not complete the strategic expectation of using this as a bargaining chip.

Yu Shangshu, who presided over the court discussion, opened another topic, or this topic was the main course of today.

"Someone has submitted a petition to make an exception and transfer Sun Piyang, the Left Censor-in-Chief, to the position of Minister of Personnel. The Emperor has sent this petition to the court for discussion."

Yang Junmin, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was the first to say, "Why not? If there is no suitable candidate in the court in all aspects, then we can only make an exception. We can't keep the position vacant for a long time, right?"

As a turn-based game, the Qingliu forces and the Shanxi-Shaanxi alliance have made clear statements, and now it's the opponent's turn to make a move.

Many court officials still follow the old convention and look at the official with the most influence in the Lin Party.

But the Grand Marshal Ye Mengxiong has no consciousness and looks at Zhou Yingqiu.

Da Sima Ye is very sober. Everyone has different talents, and some people may be more suitable for such a scene.

Not every young person dares to talk freely in front of a group of bigwigs in the court, and even has to confront and refute.

Thick skin, big heart, strong backstage, quick reaction, and sharp tongue are all indispensable.

Zhou Yingqiu sighed inwardly, took a step forward, stood in front of Ye Da Sima, and said in confusion: "Sun Piyang? I always hear this name."

The court officials were a little speechless. What do you mean by this, Zhou? Is it to express your ignorance or your unfamiliarity with the court figures?

Then Zhou Yingqiu said: "Why is there no suitable candidate? Why do we need to make an exception? I recommend Wang Honghui, the Nanjing Minister of Personnel!"

Everyone just felt that this young man was really thick-skinned.

Although theoretically everyone who participated in the court discussion could speak and recommend, don't you think it's rash for a newcomer like you to do this?

Zhao Yongxian, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, immediately stood up and refuted, "First, Mr. Sun passed the imperial examination in the 35th year of Jiajing, while Wang Honghui only passed the imperial examination in the 44th year of Jiajing. He is far inferior to Mr. Sun in terms of qualifications, reputation and achievements.

Second, Wang Honghui has been an official in Nanjing and has not been to the capital for many years. He is not familiar with the situation of the court at all. How can he suddenly become an official?

Looking at the whole court, it is indeed only Mr. Sun who is most suitable to be an official, so there is an exception."

Zhou Yingqiu shouted, "Sun Pi Yang, Sun Pi Yang, Sun Pi Yang again! It seems that if there is a Sun Pi Yang, everything can be taken care of!"

Yang Junmin, who spoke first, scolded dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Sun is an old senior in the imperial examination. People should know how to respect the elderly and show more respect to the old seniors!"

Zhou Yingqiu raised his eyelids, "Are you the uncle of the new champion Han Yu? He owes eight taels of silver to the music households of the Jiaofang Division. Do you want to make up for it? Have you found the victim?"

Yang Junmin: ""

Fuck! If you have the guts to talk like this in Shanxi, you will lose if you live for three days!

Zhao Yongxian rebuked Zhou Yingqiu sternly, saying, "The court is not a place for you to throw a tantrum! If you have reason, speak up, if you don't, get out!"

Zhou Yingqiu then said, "Then don't interrupt, just talk about this Sun Pi Yang!

I studied in the Hanlin Academy for the past three years and could not participate in government affairs, but as the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly, and I can see some situations while watching from the sidelines!"

The host, Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, asked curiously, "What's the situation?"

Zhou Yingqiu then replied, "Two years ago, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was vacant, and some people pushed Sun Pi Yang to take the position;

Two or three months ago, the Left Censor-in-Chief was vacant, and some people pushed Sun Pi Yang to take the position!

Now, only two or three months have passed, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is seriously ill, and some people would rather make an exception and push Sun Pi Yang is in power!

Although I, a newcomer, don't know the rules, I am still puzzled. Is there no one else in the court except Sun Pi Yang?

Isn't he just a senior who passed the imperial examination in the 35th year of Jiajing? Why must Sun Pi Yang be recommended every time there is a vacancy?

Can it be considered that all official positions in the court can be chosen by Sun Pi Yang?

If there is no more cabinet ministers, such as the second, third, and fourth assistants, is it necessary to recommend Sun Pi Yang to take the position? "

Someone in the crowd shouted: "If only the second, third, and fourth assistants are gone, it's hard to say, but if it is the first assistant, then Sun Pi Yang must take the position!"

Everyone: ""

This newcomer surnamed Zhou is really tricky, and what he says is very difficult to respond.

If the previous attack on Lin Tailai was successful, the opponent could use this as a bargaining chip to suppress Zhou Yingqiu's outrageous remarks.

What's more terrifying is that the Lin party did not show tricky at the beginning, but they often held the slips of paper and read them while talking.

And this Zhou Yingqiu did not have any reference answers, and it seemed that he was completely tricky on his own.

Is it natural, or is it something he learned consciously? Or is it a subtle influence?

While others haven't figured out how to respond, Zhou Yingqiu found Sun Piyang himself and asked directly:

"You have only been the chief justice for a short time, but today you completely disregard the usual practice and covet the official position. Is this the story of getting more and more?"

Sun Piyang, who was labeled as "getting more and more", was embarrassed and sighed "forget it", turned around and was about to leave.

But Yang Junmin grabbed Sun Piyang's sleeve and advised: "Sun Gong, don't be provoked, don't act on impulse!"

Don't be too selfish. When the organization needs you to step up, don't let your personal emotions influence your behavior!

Then Yang Junmin said to Zhou Yingqiu: "Even if you are greedy for more, so what?

Sun Gong's qualifications, reputation and achievements are here, and it is worth the court to make an exception. Are you afraid of being ridiculed for being greedy for more and giving up the right candidate?

If you think it's not possible, please come up with a candidate whose qualifications and reputation surpass Sun Gong!

As for Wang Honghui, who you, Zhou Yingqiu, just recommended, it's simply a joke!"

Then immediately, the Qingliu censors came out to cooperate and listed seven or eight problems of Wang Honghui in succession.

Obviously, Wang Honghui, who was recommended by the Lin Party, was also well prepared.

In fact, Yang Junmin's words are a bit like the style of the Grand Marshal Ye Mengxiong just now. Who wouldn't lie down and let others ridicule him?

What's wrong with being greedy for more? No matter how you ridicule, it doesn't matter as long as you don't care about your face and reputation!

Zhou Yingqiu looked in a certain direction of the crowd and gave a look.

Then Wang Yusheng, the backbone of the Lin Party, rushed out and questioned Sun Piyang:

"Sun Zongxian! How important is the post of Zuodu Yushi? Are you going to give it up and want to become an official even if it means breaking the rules?"

Sun Piyang replied helplessly, "I am just a minister of the Ming Dynasty. I will do whatever the court asks me to do."

This answer is acceptable and there is no flaw.

Wang Yusheng looked around angrily and said, "Then I want to impeach Zuodu Yushi Sun Piyang for being dissatisfied with his position, hoping to get promoted, and being keen on scheming!"

Sun Piyang, the person involved, was not able to express his opinion, but Yang Junmin said disdainfully, "You can impeach me as you like!"

As long as Sun Piyang can be sent to the throne of the Minister of Personnel, everything is worth it! What does it matter if he is impeached? What does it matter if his reputation is damaged?

After becoming the Minister of Personnel, his career is basically over, and it doesn't matter whether he is famous or not!

I wanted to protect Sun Piyang's reputation at the same time, but I didn't get any bargaining chips, so I could only temporarily protect the benefits between reputation and benefits!

Yang Junmin emphasized again: "If there is no candidate more suitable than Sun Gong, then we should ask the emperor to make an exception!"

At this moment, many people noticed from the corner of their eyes that there was a figure shaking at the window.

Originally, everyone thought that it was Yin Zhengshi from Korea who was prying through the window.

Some officials with hot tempers wanted to scold him for not knowing the rules, but when they turned around, they were stunned.

Wang Shizhen, the Minister of Personnel, Wang Tianguan, who had not resigned yet, stood outside the window like a lonely ghost, looking at the house with a smile!

Damn! Even officials who did not believe in ghosts and gods seemed to be greatly frightened at this time!

Could it be that Wang Tianguan had died, and his ghost floated to his favorite Dongchao room with obsession?

The repeater, the censor Wang Yusheng, came online again, pointed at Sun Piyang and said, "I want to impeach you for being dissatisfied with your position, seeking to get promoted, and being keen on scheming!"

Sun Piyang's eyes were wide open, and he seemed to have lost his soul.
