Chapter 240: The Decisive Winning of the Golden Palace (Part 2)

Zhu Yunwen's angry shout echoed in the Golden Palace.

Liang Hui, Chen Shu and Chen Kan, who were impeached by Xiao Fan, were sweating coldly. When the murderous warriors outside the hall walked up to them and took off their official hats, the three of them came to their senses. They were trembling all over, their legs became weak, and they could not stop falling to the ground.

The warrior raised his hand when he saw the opportunity, held them from left to right, and then twisted their hands behind him.

The three of them were shocked and immediately struggled and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I am wronged, I am wronged! This is Xiao Fan's frame-up, Your Majesty cannot trust him..."

Xiao Fan turned around, stared coldly at the three people who were crying, slowly unfolded the thick memorial in his hand, and recited: "In August of the 29th year of Hongwu, the inspector Liang Hui received 5,000 taels of silver from King Bing of Hunan, two hu of pearls in the South China Sea, and four beautiful maids. In the twelfth month of the 29th year of Hongwu, the inspector Chen Shu received 6,000 taels of silver from King of Zhou, and countless gold, jade and jewelry. In February of the 30th year of Hongwu, the kings entered the capital to congratulate him. Chen Kan was bribed by the King of Yan and promised to exonerate the crime of rudeness in front of the grandson..."

Xiao Fan's words were like ice beads, reciting the crimes of the three people word by word. In the quiet golden hall, the ministers looked complicated and kept silent. Only Xiao Fan's voice echoed in the hall.

The three of them gradually turned into ashes, their bodies were covered in cold sweat, and they were weak and allowed to be held by the warriors in the temple to carry them left and right.

Zhu Yunwen's face turned ashen, and his body wrapped in a big red dragon robe could not help but tremble slightly. His cheeks were bitten tightly, but a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes very rarely.

Xiao Fan recited more than ten crimes, then paused his voice, put away the memorial, raised it to the three of them, and said coldly: "Do you still need to continue reading? The crimes of the three of you are all evidenced, and the evidence is as strong as a mountain. Now, in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court, you can say to yourself, which one of the officials is wronged you? I will give you a chance to defend yourself!"

The three of them collapsed completely at this time, and they broke free from the warriors who were holding them. They knelt on the golden hall and kowtowed to Zhu Yunwen like pounding garlic. They begged in tears and said, "I am guilty, and I should be punished! Please forgive me, I will not dare to do it in the future..."

Xiao Fan handed over the thick evidence of guilt in his hand to the eunuchs in the palace, and then slowly retreated back to the court, closing his eyes and speaking without saying a word.

The rest of the matter was not his control, so Zhu Yunwen naturally understood how to do it.

The civil and military officials in the court looked at the three of them begging for mercy. The hall of hundreds of people was silent. Everyone looked at the three of them with complicated expressions, and unconsciously turned their heads to look at Zhu Yunwen, whose facial features were a little distorted on the dragon throne.

Zhu Yunwen only felt a blood-retreating surging in his chest, and his anger rushed to his head, and his handsome face turned red.

"Liang Hui, Chen Shu, Chen Kan, are you three guilty?" Zhu Yunwen's tone was cold.

The three of them trembled and bowed to the ground, crying in unison: "I... know the crime! Please forgive me..."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were filled with tears and sighed: "When the emperor's grandfather was alive, officials were skinned and made public. You eat the salary of the court, but secretly accept bribes from the vassal kings. The amount is so huge. How can I forgive you?"

Slapping the armrest of the dragon chair hard, Zhu Yunwen stood up and said angrily: "If I spare you, wouldn't the integrity of the court become an empty talk? How do I control the officials in the world? How do I face the people who are interested in the court? How can I be worthy of the spirit of the late emperor in heaven? The vassal kings are much richer than me. Why don't you just worship the vassal kings? And why do you kneel down to the emperor!"

This was a bit serious. Everyone in the court was shocked. They hurriedly knelt down at Zhu Yunwen and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please calm down..."

Zhu Yunwen ignored it and shouted furiously: "The warriors on both sides, these three people do not need to be imprisoned, do not review them, take them directly to the vegetable market and behead them!"

The warriors in the hall responded and rushed out of the hall with the desperate three men.

The three of them begged for mercy sorrow gradually drifted away, and the silence in Fengtian Palace was still as dead as silence.

The civil and military officials in the court looked different, Qingliu looked as if dead, staring at the front numb and empty, their minds were both shocked, and for no reason they felt a sense of sadness and sadness. At the same time, they were more afraid and afraid of Xiao Fan's unpredictable methods of slandering people.

As we all know, these three people are one of the Qingliu members. The discussion on the reform of the military system of the dynasty has not yet begun. Eight stalwarts of the Qingliu disappeared inexplicably and absent from the dynasty meeting. Xiao Fan used thunder to remove the other three Qingliu ministers. Qingliu's voice in the dynasty meeting became increasingly weak...

Before he could fight against the treacherous party, his own camp was missing in a total of eleven people. How can we continue the next battle against the court?

——Xiao Fan is determined to win this time, and is determined to clear obstacles and implement military reforms!

The Qingliu ministers were full of panic and couldn't help but look at Xiao Fan in the meritorious class, but saw Xiao Fan opening his black eyes and looking at them. Both sides looked at each other. Xiao Fan grinned at them, but a gloomy and fierce light shot out in his eyes, like a wolf that had been hungry for several days, staring at the plump and stupid rabbit.

The Qingliu ministers all trembled, and goose bumps all over their bodies stood up. Then everyone saw Xiao Fan taking out another thick blue cover memorial from his arms as if nothing had happened, and grinned at the Qingliu ministers.

The Qingliu people cursed secretly, "Despicable! Childish!"

They cursed despicable and childish, but everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.

What does the other memorial say? Who else does this shameless guy want to mess with? How many people in Qingliu are on his blacklist?

This answer made everyone very curious, but no one dared to test it. Even the officials who are now claiming to be honest, even the Qingliu ministers who claim to be honest, as capital officials, receive so many filial gifts from foreign officials every year. How many are clean and honest? Everyone has a few shameful things. The memorial is like a big sword hanging high above his head. Although it has not yet fallen, it has put a huge psychological pressure on everyone.

The Qingliu ministers who had originally been united in their hearts gradually declined under several blows from Xiao Fan without any trace, and changed from a confident fight against the traitor to a passive and decadent seeking self-protection.

Offense and defense were quietly changing positions invisibly, and the court was in a strange way, and everything was under Xiao Fan's control.

Zhu Yunwen sat on the dragon chaise, took a few deep breaths, suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "I advise some ministers to eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king. You are all well-read sages. You don't have to teach you the principles of sages anymore, right? If you accept bribes from the vassal kings, why not join the vassal kings and recognize the master again?"

These words were said very seriously, and the civil and military officials in the court knelt down in a stern manner and said in unison: "I don't dare."

Zhu Yunwen was relieved and looked depressed and said, "Forget it, don't mention this matter. I will be promoted to the Grand Court today to discuss the military reform. What do the ministers think? Just report it in person."

His highness and ministers were silent, and the storm just now cast a shadow on everyone's hearts. The Qingliu ministers who were eager to try again did not dare to show up. They were scared by Xiao Fan's methods.

Xiao Fan, who was standing in the court squad, looked around and saw that no one came forward to answer, so Xiao Fan adjusted his clothes, coughed twice, walked out of the court squad, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think the proposal of military reform proposed by Secretary Ru of the Ministry of War is... feasible!"

The ministers were silent, this was the expected answer. The military reform was originally proposed by Xiao Fan urging Ru Wei. This was simply Xiao Fan's own opinion. What did he disagree with?

A smile flashed in Zhu Yunwen's eyes and said, "Xiao Aiqing tells the reason."

"The military system in our country began after the 26th year of Hongwu. At that time, Lan Yu plotted against rebellion, and many generals were involved in the army. The former emperor used thunder to kill suspected rebellion one by one. This move wiped out the rebellious generals and eliminated evil for the country. However, it also caused the lack of generals in our Ming army with experience in leading troops, and the army without good and bad generals would be in chaos. In recent years, due to the uneven quality of generals in the Ming army, and the country had no war, the commanders and commanders in various places in the Ming army were all secretly angry, and the military households were slackened.

It has been passed down from generation to generation, but one generation is worse than the other. The old and weak are filled with the army, and the combat power is much lower than the brave soldiers of the former Emperor Hongwu period. In the long run, what brave men in our Ming Dynasty can fight in addition to the border troops? Let me ask all my colleagues in the court, if one day the Tartars broke through the Great Wall, broke through the border troops, and rode the horse south, who could fight against the Tartars at that time? The fall of the Southern Song Dynasty was due to the weak soldiers and the few generals, and the imperial court was the last one hundred years. Will the Ming Dynasty also follow the footsteps of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Xiao Fan paused and slowly looked around the ministers and said, "Therefore, I think that the reform of the Ming military system is imminent. The military system must change. Only change can one be connected! My emperor wants to create the prosperous era of Ming Dynasty and culture. If there is no strong military power as a backing, the prosperous era is just a tower in the air and collapses in an instant. The foundation of a strong country lies in strengthening the army first. Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu. The reason why they created a grand and prosperous era was because they first built an invincible army! The barbarian and foreign countries in all directions surrendered sincerely, so that our Chinese virtues were all over the world and were powerful. My Ming Dynasty wanted to make contributions over the Tang and Song dynasties. If we were not strong, we would not compete for me. If we wanted to strengthen the army, we would first change the military system! Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to reconcile the reforms. The Ming Dynasty will make great contributions, please start today!"

The words were so loud and exciting, echoing in the hall, like a spring thunder, exploding a bright world for this chaotic world.

The ministers were shocked again. Zhu Yunwen sat on the dragon chaise but was excited when he heard it. He smiled and said hurriedly: "Haha, okay, Xiao Aiqing has the country in his heart, I am very comforted. In this way, I will be grateful..."

"Slow down!" A angrily shout interrupted Zhu Yunwen's words.

Everyone looked in shock, but saw Yang Jing, the Minister of Justice, standing out of the court. He glared at Xiao Fan first, and then said to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, the reform of the military system has shaken the foundation of the country, which is extraordinary. How can we make such a rash decision? This matter concerns the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty. We must be careful. I hope Your Majesty thinks twice..."

Xiao Fan couldn't help but sighed heavily, and another one came out to make trouble. If he had known Cao Yi would tie him up...

Xiao Fan was helpless and had to say depressedly: "Shangshu Yang..."

Yang Jing suddenly turned around and pointed at Xiao Fan and said angrily: "Xiao Fan! I am a righteous official and stand upright. I am innocent and innocent throughout my life. I have never had any stains. I am not afraid of you being framed! Your statement of reforming the military system is purely a disaster for the country and the king. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I will never let you succeed!"

"You are innocent? Hum!"

Xiao Fan was so angry that his eyebrows were raised. He immediately took out the blue memorial that heavy blue-skinned record of the official's evidence from his arms, and began to read in front of the civil and military officials, rummaging so carefully.

All the civil and military officials of the court, including Zhu Yunwen, opened their eyes wide and quietly watched Xiao Fan flipping the memorial. The hall was silent, and everyone's eyes moved with Xiao Fan flipping the memorial's hands.

Yang Jing stared at Xiao Fan with anger, without any guilt, and his face was filled with awesomeness.

Such a strange and inexplicable scene appeared on the solemn and solemn Golden Palace. A group of ministers stared at Xiao Fan and read the memorials, like a group of little ghosts watching the judge turn over the life and death book, with an extremely entangled expression.

a long time……

Xiao Fan turned to the end and suddenly slammed the memorial, then stared at Yang Jing strangely, and said leisurely: "Yang Shangshu is indeed innocent and innocent, he is simply perverted... Forget it, you can continue to object."

After saying that, Xiao Fan shook his sleeves in disappointment and retreated to the court.

There was a burst of choking and coughing among the ministers...

Xiao Fan, this beast...

…………

…………

Yang Jing smiled proudly, glared at Xiao Fan like a provocative look, and then said to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, the military system is the law established by the late emperor. The late emperor once made the "Instructions on the Emperor's Ming Ancestors" and said that the law cannot be changed. Therefore, I think that reforming the military system is contrary to the ancestor system of the late emperor, and it must not be..."

"Slow down!" Xiao Fan stood out from the squad again.

Yang Jing was so angry that he widened his eyes and stamped his feet and said angrily: "You evil thief! What do you want?"

Xiao Fan glanced at him and replied to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, the theory of reforming the military system has its own reasons in this court, and it is difficult to make a resolution for the time being. I suggest that it is better to raise my hands to vote?"

Everyone was stunned. What strange tricks did this guy do?

Zhu Yunwen widened his eyes and stuttered: "Why...what is raising hands to vote?"

"It is the minority that obeys the majority. The hundreds of ministers who attended the court meeting today are all knowledgeable and well-educated. If most agree with the reform of the military system, it means that this proposal is accepted by the majority. The proposal accepted by the majority must be an effective truth. If most people oppose it, then there is no need to mention the proposal of reform of the military system again. What does Your Majesty think of my advice?"

Zhu Yunwen pondered and said, "The minority obeys the majority? This is exquisite. Maybe... you can give it a try."

Yang Jing, who was standing in the hall, felt nervous when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Fan, you are so despicable..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Fan turned his head and shouted to hundreds of ministers in the hall: "Today, my emperor has changed the military system and wants to implement a new law to strengthen the army and the country. This move is related to the country in the past century of Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be decided by one person and one word. If you agree, please raise your right hand above your head..."

Swish!

Except for a few Qingliu ministers and the impartial neutral sects of the court, everyone else raised their right hands. Duke Cao Li Jinglong raised his hand while squeezing Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Jinglong made the right move and won him the support of a large number of meritorious descendants. Otherwise, the court would inevitably fall into a melee again today.

Seeing the arms raised in the court, Zhu Yunwen felt new and admired Xiao Fan. How did this guy's brain grow?

Looking around everyone slowly, Zhu Yunwen suddenly burst out laughing, then quickly put on a majestic look and said in a deep voice: "Since most of my dear friends agree to reform the military system, according to my opinion, there is no need to continue the meeting today. I will issue an order. The Transportation Government Envoy Department will promulgate the world and start the reform of the military system today. The specific matters will be handed over to Xiao Aiqing and the Ministry of War Ru Shangshu Office. The specific articles and regulations will be submitted to me for the Emperor's Lance. All my dear friends should cooperate with each other and do not neglect them. Violators will be severely punished! The decree will be announced to the world, and all the envoys will hear it! Just like that, retreat to the court!"

After saying that, Zhu Yunwen quickly got up, flashed his body and hurried back to Huagai Palace.

The ministers looked at each other with confused expressions. The vigorous dynasty meeting, the treacherous duel against loyalty and treacherous, and the fierce military reform, just like this... is over?

The thunder is loud and the raindrops are small. Didn’t the Qingliu people shouting to fight the traitors desperately? What’s the result? They all look like turtles, and they don’t even put a single fart!

Many of the Gongs and Marquis who were deliberately watching the fun were still unsatisfied with their lips, then they looked at the Qingliu people with contempt, shook their sleeves, and strode away from Fengtian Palace.

What a shitty clean stream, bah!

In the middle of the Golden Palace, a group of Qingliu ministers stood there in a daze with their eyes closed, still looking dumbfounded.

In contrast to their reaction, the traitors were stunned for a moment, and then a shocking cheer broke out at the same time, and everyone slapped their high-highs and celebrated each other.

Xiao Fan smiled and strode forward, holding Yang Jing's hand, who was still speechless with gratitude, shook it hard a few times: "I'm giving up, I'm giving up... Xiaguan is very grateful. If you have any disputes next time, I will definitely give up to you..."

Yang Jing's eyes were filled with tears: "...I haven't finished speaking yet."
To be continued...
