Chapter 138 I definitely did not rape the widow [Please vote! 】
Shanhe Hall, the Great Court Meeting.
With the eunuch's voice shouting, the door of the main hall opened, and the ministers of the court walked into the huge palace one after another.
The sky is filled with gold and green, and there are groups of nobles.
Behind the dragon chair is the Mountain and River Soaring Dragon Wall. It is said that if he is assassinated, nine dragons will fly out from the wall to protect the emperor.
Although the main hall is vast, it cannot accommodate so many court officials. Only those of fifth rank and above can enter the hall, and the rest have to wait in line outside the hall.
Of course, every court meeting is mainly a stage for the first few rows of big shots. If the officials behind them do not have tasks arranged in advance, they will not dare to face the emperor and hand over memorials.
If you have something to do at ordinary times, just submit the memorial to the prime minister's gate.
However, the atmosphere in the court today is different from the past. Many people in the palace are either preoccupied or eager to try, as if they want to perform something today.
Many people are looking at the back figure in front of them.
Mr. Zuo Xiang has been staying at home for three consecutive days. Today he caught up with the imperial meeting and he came as expected.
The ministers in the hall did not dare to say hello loudly, they only dared to whisper and whisper to each other.
There is an inexplicable sense of depression that a storm is about to come.
After all the ministers arrived, the eunuch in front of the palace shouted again: "Your Majesty has arrived -"
"Long live Tianan, Your Majesty!" The ministers immediately bowed and saluted, neatly .
The Yin Dynasty did not perform so many kneeling rituals. Only on rare occasions did the ministers kneel down to worship the king.
Maybe it’s because there are too many practitioners in the world, and the power of the king is difficult to control because of their cultivation.
That is to say, this generation of Emperor Mubei relied on his achievements in his early years to intimidate all nations and make all ministers bow. Among the emperors in the past, the methods were weaker, and they could not intimidate the civil servants and generals in the court.
These big guys in the first row of Mubei Dynasty, in any previous generation, were enough to become powerful officials in the dynasty, which is what Liang Fuguo said to Chen Su.
Everyone above the court is a minister of dragon and tiger.
Only under the throne of Emperor Mubei could they coexist in such harmony.
On the upper level, Emperor Mu Bei, wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown, walked up to the dragon chair step by step. Behind him, Cao Wujiu followed suit, not daring to go any further.
After sitting down on the dragon chair, Emperor Mubei waved his hand: "All the ministers are at peace."
Hulala and all the ministers moved together.
Cao Wujiu said loudly: "At the beginning of the court meeting, the ministers have their own rules to start -"
There are also rules for delivering memorials. After the eunuch shouts, the big guy in the first row must shout first, and then it is the turn of the second row and the third row...
The little ones behind The minions have to wait and see if the big boss in front doesn't say anything before they come up with their own memorials. If the eunuch has just finished shouting and you jump out to grab him first, then you may not be included in the next court meeting.
Sure enough, after Cao Wujiu shouted, the first voice came from the first row: "Your Majesty!"
The person who walked out of the queue was the current emperor and the Ministry of Works. Shangshu, Lu Yuanwang.
"I have something to report," he said tremblingly, lowering his head.
"What do you want to report to the emperor?" Mu Beidi asked.
"I am over seventy years old. I am old and frail, and my hearing and vision are dim. Today I have resigned and returned to my hometown. I hope your majesty will allow it." Lu Yuanwang said slowly.
"Huh?" His Highness said in surprise.
I didn’t expect that there would be such a big one today.
Although Lu Guozhang is in his seventies, he has always been old-hearted. He previously controlled the Ministry of Industry as firmly as Mount Tai. I suddenly have to resign today, I'm afraid there is another article.
After all, everyone knows that if he really wants to leave, he can submit a letter privately, and there is no need to publicly announce it at the court meeting.
Real leaving does not involve shouting.
There are many officials in the court, and no matter how powerful the Lu family and the Liang family are, they only occupy a part of each. At this moment, people who don’t know what is going to happen and are just watching the excitement still account for the majority of the people on the field.
Their eyes wandered back and forth between the two big guys, as if they were expecting a good show, and they were probably shouting silently in their hearts.
Fight, fight!
The emperor's eyes were deep in thought, but he had not expressed his approval yet.
His Royal Highness, an official stood out from the crowd and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the abbot has managed the Ministry of Industry for many years. He is mature and prudent and rarely makes any oversights. If he leaves office suddenly, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the country."
Another person said: "Your Majesty, I have the guts to say something. I am afraid that the Head of State is disheartened because of the unfair treatment he has received from the Ministry of Industry recently. The Head of State is loyal and has worked hard for the imperial court for many years. Don't let him lose his heart." Ah."
"Everyone, step back." Mu Beidi waved his hand.
The two officials who were out of the queue immediately rushed back to their own team with lightning speed and remained silent.
Nothing was left but a gust of wind.
“When did I say that I would agree to the resignation of the abbot?” Emperor Mubei turned to look at Lu Yuanwang, “The more troubled the Ministry of Works is at the moment, the more the abbot must stick to it, otherwise wouldn’t it be possible? "Why are you retreating out of fear of difficulties?"
"Your Majesty," Lu Yuanwang bowed again, "Nearly half of the officials in the Ministry of Industry where I work have been imprisoned and government affairs have been suspended for many days. This is because I know people well. The responsibility for unclear and lax governance will surely be better if Your Majesty chooses a talented person to lead the Ministry of Industry."
"Your Majesty!" Another official from the back row came out and shouted: "Recently. In my opinion, the chaos in the Ministry of Industry is not the fault of the state leader. It is all caused by the leftist Prime Minister's party's suppression of dissidents and the indiscriminate suppression of the officials of the Ministry of Industry! "
" Lu Yuanwang. He shouted, "It is true that officials under the Ministry of Industry are corrupt. How dare you slander the Left Prime Minister?"
With a pop, the official knelt down.
"Your Majesty has a clear warning!" He put his head on the ground and said loudly: "The Ministry of Industry is responsible for distributing wealth and creating things. Corruption of officials, big and small, is due to the lax supervision of the Three Law Departments. How can we blame the state leader entirely? Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment is all about torture. How can anyone resist being punished? If your Majesty allows it, you can find out the confessions of the officials from the Ministry of Works and check their authenticity. "
All eyes are focused on Liang Fuguo's back. He has not said a word yet, but he has been pushed to the center of the storm. However, since he launched his attack on the Ministry of Works, he has been attacking step by step and aggressively. The Ministry of Works has only fought back so far, so it has been very tolerable.
Such a scene is not surprising.
Song Zhili, who was beside Liang Fuguo, glanced at him secretly, looking slightly worried.
They are all people who stand at the top of the court. With a little thought, they can roughly guess what method Lu Yuanwang used.
It should be that some prisoners from the Ministry of Industry had obtained an explanation from Lu Yuanwang before they were sent to prison, and mixed some false things in their confessions.
In this way, the records obtained by the Ministry of Punishment will be mixed with true and false. With such a large number of officials imprisoned, it is impossible for the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate everything. It must record as many officials as they confess. After all, it is normal. No one would deliberately say too much about guilt.
Now, if the people arranged by Lu Yuanwang pick out fake places for questioning, they will come to the conclusion that the Ministry of Punishment tortured them to extract confessions and forced them to surrender.
Lu Yuanwang had planned to reach this point not knowing how long ago, and he couldn't be described as unsophisticated.
Facing the official’s question, Liang Fuguo looked up at the emperor.
Mu Beidi was silent for a moment, and then shouted, "Back off!"
The kneeling official trembled, and immediately crawled back to the queue, and then stood up. .
Liang Fuguo then stepped out of the queue, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, it is the duty of the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate murders, corruption and other cases. If this displeases the abbot, I feel very guilty. If the monarch really resigns, I will recommend Jiang Weitian, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, to be promoted to minister."
puff.
After hearing what he said, 90% of the ministers who were watching the excitement did not hold back.
As expected of the Left Prime Minister.
Crazy enough.
The Lu family used the resignation to make a fuss and cry. Not only did Liang Fuguo completely ignore the other party's attacks, he also took advantage of the opportunity to recommend a new minister.
The translation is just one sentence, it’s easy to leave without sending it off.
Suddenly it seemed that the Lu family had just acted openly and secretly like clowns on a stage.
This shows Liang Fuguo's strong self-confidence, just like a three-year-old child wielding a knife and a gun in front of him, Liang Fuguo just rolled his eyes.
Do you think I’m reasonable?
Complete contempt.
But there is a problem with doing this. This is in the court, in front of the emperor.
If the emperor protects you as before, then of course there is no problem with you being so crazy. However, since Liang Fuguo attacked Lu Guozhang himself, the emperor no longer defended the left prime minister so much, obviously because he wanted to defeat him.
If you continue to be so crazy, will you really not displease His Majesty?
"Ha..." Mu Beidi didn't expect his answer. He seemed a little angry and smiled, pointing at him, "My good left prime minister."
Lu Yuanwang took a peek, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Liang Fuguo seems to have been crazy from the first day he was born. Let's see if you can still be so crazy on the day you die?
After sensing the emperor's emotions, Lu Yuanwang also took a step forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty! Since the Left Prime Minister also agrees, please let the old minister return to his hometown!"
As he knelt down, dozens of people behind him rushed out as if they had received some signal.
"Your Majesty is wise! I have learned from my death that it is not the ruler of the country who deserves to leave, but the powerful minister Liang Fuguo!"
"Your Majesty! I want to join the left prime minister Liang Fuguo to form a clique for personal gain and tyranny. , Insulting courtiers, completely unbecoming a courtier!”
"Your Majesty, I want to take part in Liang Fugu's execution of officials, forge evidence of crimes, beat them into submission, and deceive superiors and subordinates!"
"I want to take part in Liang Fugu's corruption of public funds and acceptance of bribes, which is really a traitor to the country!"
"Your Majesty, I want to take part in Liang Fugu's rape of the widow and the defilement of the martyr's widow!"
"..."
For a time, more than ten officials, big and small, stood out. He raised the memorial he had written long ago and violently attacked Left Prime Minister Liang Fuguo.
This is only the first batch. Once Liang Fuguo shows a slight decline, I believe that subsequent impeachment memorials will fall like snowflakes in front of the emperor's case.
After all, the Lu family is not the only enemy he has offended over the years.
Emperor Mu Bei frowned on the dragon chair, his mood and anger unpredictable, and asked solemnly: "Prime Minister Zuo, what do you have to say?"
Liang Fuguo's answer was only one sentence, Just listen to him reply slowly: "Your Majesty, I definitely did not rape the widow."
At this time, ten out of ten officials could not hold back.
Why is the scene so tense and funny at the same time?
The Prime Minister of the Left is so numb after being impeached. Why does he not seem to care about this?
After being involved in so many crimes against you, you just listened to one about raping a widow?
You do care about reputation.
The feeling of the ministers in the DPRK and China now is that the most uncomfortable time is when they want to laugh but cannot.
But at this moment, Liang Fuguo said again: "Your Majesty can let others investigate the impeachment of your ministers. But before that, if the emperor wants to resign and return to his hometown, he still needs to clear up the case. In the case of the Ministry of Industry, I have a witness to pass on.”
In front of the steps, Cao Wujiu asked: “Who does Mr. Zuo Xiang want to pass on to the palace?”
Liang Fuguo replied loudly: “The leader of the Longya Gang in the south of the city. , Hong Yinsheng”
