Taking advantage of this gap, various censors suddenly became active.
Censor Xiong Yuan stepped forward and said: "I impeach Mei Yousong, the Governor of the Three Borders of Shaanxi Province! As an important minister of the country, he spends millions in military pay every year. If he cannot control the captives, he is guilty of harming the country!"
Zhou Kongjiao, the imperial censor, also reported desperately: "I impeach the former governor of Shaanxi Province, Gao Guangxian! There was the Xining Incident the year before last. He could not suppress the thieves. He only knew how to flatter the captives and tolerate them, which continued today and led to disaster!"
Five or six more censors came out one after another. According to the order, it was estimated that the governor of Gansu and various officials were going to be impeached.
Although Emperor Wanli was irritable, he did not stop the censor from impeaching him.
Probably in the emperor's mind, all the officials in the Shaanxi-Gansu border area should be abolished, and there is no excuse to deal with them without impeachment.
Just as a large group of censors were preparing to line up to speak, suddenly the imperial guard who had previously been ordered to find Lin Tailai entered the palace again.
Then he ran to the throne and said, "Lin Tailai has been brought here and is waiting outside the palace!"
Everyone in the hall was puzzled. In just a few breaths, you brought Lin Tai back. Did you fly there and back?
Emperor Wanli also asked in surprise: "Why so fast?"
The royal guard replied: "I left the palace and walked to the Huiji Gate. I saw Lin Tailai squatting under the eaves of the porch doing nothing."
Everyone: "."
Where is your pride and ambition when Lin Tailai angrily criticized Lu Da Sikou just now?
You pretend to be angry and run away, but you dare to walk a hundred steps? Is this because you are afraid that the court will not be able to find you in time?
No matter how much everyone complained in their hearts, Emperor Wanli still summoned Lin Tailai.
Then he asked directly: "Just now Zheng Luo said that the first priority in pacifying the Western Fans is to drive the Taolu to return to the north and return to the east, so it is necessary to persuade Zhongshun. Do you have anything to say about this?"
Lin Tailai replied: "Why not send Wang Jiaping or Lu Guangzu? With these two ministers, there will be no disadvantages."
When everyone heard this, they were really worried for Lin Tailai. The emperor was in a very bad mood today, how dare you, Lin Tailai, to play with fire here.
Sure enough, Emperor Wanli was furious and said: "Lin Tailai! How dare you neglect state affairs with personal grudges!"
Lin Tailai said: "I am only worried that I will die without a burial place!"
Emperor Wanli scolded: "You bastard! Who told you to die without a burial place?"
Are you cursing who is the foolish king?
Lin Tailai replied loudly: "Wang Jiaping, Lu Guangzu, Song Qizhi and their colleagues are keeping an eye on what I do!
If I make the slightest move, I am afraid that I will be impeached in the blink of an eye. I have collaborated with the enemy, colluded with the captives to be loyal and obedient, hijacked the captives' self-respect, created troubles, and falsely reported merits!
They even spread rumors and slanders, saying that it was agreed upon by me and Zhongshun to send a hundred thousand captives to the Buddha to go west! They were just waiting to provoke the pirates into trouble, and then make false achievements!"
Everyone in the hall was in a daze for a moment, who was slandering whom?
It seems that the crime Lin Tailai invented for himself is indeed easy to pin.
Any censor can say this if he hears about it.
Emperor Wanli took a deep breath and asked like an ultimatum: "No need to talk nonsense! I just ask you, can you persuade the Taolu to leave the West Sea?"
Lin Tailai replied: "I will do my best, and I am 70 to 80% sure."
Emperor Wanli was tired and struggled for a long time before settling on such a practical matter.
Lin Tailai then said: "Your Majesty, don't worry! The Hailu are located in the bitter cold of the plateau and have no solid foundation. Even if they gain power for a while, they will only be like thousands of rogues. They are just scabies!"
Controlling the problem of pirates in the sea is not a problem in my mind. There are several strategies, seven are political strategies and three are military strategies. If you follow them, you can calm down the Western Sea!"
"Say!" Emperor Wanli, who was irritated, suddenly looked forward to it. Even if he was bragging, doing it well could relieve his mental stress.
Lin Tailai answered clearly and confidently: "First, I have already said that we should persuade the captives who rushed to the West Sea this year to return north and return east. But to what extent we can persuade them depends on the specific situation.
Second, the road to Hexi in Gansu is under martial law. From now on, only captives are allowed to ride north and return to the east, and they are not allowed to use the road to move south and west to the West Sea.
Those who return from the north to the east will be allowed to go; those who move from the south to the west will be treated as invaders and will be attacked directly!
Third, order the Xining Guards to send troops to destroy the Yanghua Temple, the Yellow Sect’s holy land on the south bank of the West Sea, to prevent the captives from traveling back and forth under the pretext of pilgrimage!
Fourth, recruit the Ban clan aggressively. No matter what kind of Ban people they are, whether they are fresh or familiar, they will not reject anyone who comes!
Eli drove the Fan people to deal with the Hailu, strengthen the walls and clear the country for the Hailu, and completely isolate the Hailu!
Fifth, as a cliché, choose available ministers and generals to guard the city, repair city weapons, increase elite officers and soldiers, etc.!
If we follow the five principles, we can pacify the Western Frontier in two or three years!"
After hearing this, Emperor Wanli's face finally relaxed slightly.
I couldn't help but think, if I had known better, I wouldn't have gone to court so tiredly, and I would have just summoned Lin Tailai to ask questions alone.
Suddenly, Lin Tailai said in a strange voice: "I think Wang Jiaping and Lu Guangzu have a better strategy. I would like to hear their opinions!"
Emperor Wanli said casually: "These two should not talk about border affairs and Lin Tailai from now on!"
Wang Jiaping and Lu Guangzu had no choice but to kowtow and thank them.
But Lin Tailai said: "I want to impeach you, and the Ministry of War will miss the opportunity!"
People who are familiar with Lin Tailai are shocked! Is this the real purpose of Lin Tailai?
Positions such as Ge Lao, Shangshu, and Governor were too high and had nothing to do with Lin Tailai himself. Lin Tailai could not reach them even if he broke the sky.
But the Staff Department is only a fifth-grade department, and it is a target that Lin Tailai can invade!
