There is no doubt that Emperor Kaiping's few words are full of ridicule.

Most civil servants have some character, but this degree is difficult to master. If it is too strong, they will become idiots who blindly ask for reputation. The fall of the former Wei Dynasty is also related to this. In the middle and late period, the civil servant group completely squeezed the generals out of the core of power.

Then they began to fight for power with the emperor. Of course, they would not talk about their true intentions and would only achieve their goals in the name of loyal ministers and direct remonstrances.

Specifically, loyal ministers must oppose anything the emperor wants to do, regardless of whether the emperor's idea is beneficial to the country or not.

Once the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty fell into the quagmire of this kind of struggle, crony warfare would ensue, and the government would gradually fall into paralysis. All ministers would fight for power and gain, and all they could see were gold, silver and official positions. What did the common people count?

The former Wei Dynasty fell because of this, and Daliang naturally had to learn a lesson.

The government system envisioned by Lin Qingyuan, a brilliant counselor, was partly based on the lessons learned from the past, but in the end, only the two-government system remained, with a clear distinction between civil and military affairs and a barely balanced balance.

Although the emperor of Daliang did not have to face a group of elm-headed people who were always ready to remonstrate, this did not mean that the civil servants in the court had no character.

As soon as Emperor Kaiping's words came to light, a minister immediately stood up from the civil service train and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

No one needed to turn around to look, they knew who it was just by hearing this powerful and old voice.

Liu Daxia, Minister of the Ministry of War, is the same.

Emperor Kaiping suppressed his smile and said calmly: "Tell me."

Liu Daxia looked at Pei Yue's arrogant back not far ahead, took a deep breath and said, "I would like to ask Zhongshanzi Pei Yue why he wanted to kill Wuwei Hou Ningzhong?"

Emperor Kaiping's eyes moved towards Pei Yue.

Most of the courtiers looked at this young man in unison.

Pei Yue seemed to have heard a joke and said unhurriedly: "Because he deserves to die."

Liu Daxia frowned and said: "Whether he deserves to die or not should be decided by the imperial court. Even if he really deserves to die, it is not your turn to take action. Do you still have the imperial court's laws in your eyes?"

"Liu Shangshu!"

Pei Yue suddenly shouted and blocked Liu Daxia's last words.

All the ministers looked at him sideways. For so many years, no minister has dared to roar on the spot in the court meeting, especially Pei Yue, who is so young. At this moment, some people couldn't help but secretly rejoice. It seems that this young powerful man got carried away after making great achievements and even did other things.

The ministers are not clear about their duties, which can be said to be their own destruction.

When even the supervisory censor stood up and angrily shouted: "Pei Yue, do you know where you are standing now! I think you are not only lawless, you are also arrogant! You don't even know how to abide by the most basic rules.

No matter how great your achievements are, you will only bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"What a crazy and rebellious person!"

"This person will definitely become a disaster for Daliang!"

"National traitor!"

"Your Majesty, please kill this beast!"

"Your Majesty, never let these traitors go!"

…

The young imperial censors stood up and opened fire on Pei Yue one after another, just like they had eaten firecrackers. In their fierce condemnation, Pei Yue had been portrayed as a powerful official with a traitorous bone on the back of his head, as if he could kill him today.

Wuweihou Ningzhong will dare to regicide tomorrow and rebel. If he doesn't kill him, the people will not be angry.

However, amidst such a violent attack, Pei Yue's face was very calm, as if the roar just now was not coming from him.

Seeing that the middle-level civil servants, especially the young censors, were making more and more exaggerated noises. Censor Jiuyi could not control himself even after shouting and shouting several times. The face of Emperor Kaiping on the dragon throne became increasingly ugly, so Luo Ting, the right-hand ruler, had no choice but to stand up.

He scolded: "Are you trying to force me to have a baby?"

As soon as the word "forced into the palace" came out, the noisy noise suddenly stopped. The young officials who had just been carried away by the enthusiasm looked cautiously towards the steps. After seeing Emperor Kaiping's expression, they felt a little regretful, but they couldn't help but retreat for a moment.

Luo Ting frowned and said: "Your Majesty has never stated that Pei Yue is guilty. Even if he is really guilty, are you going to give him a chance to defend himself by shouting and killing like this? This is a court, not a busy city, so hurry up and get out!"

"

Although Emperor Kaiping was a little dissatisfied with these young censors, it was impossible to capture them all directly, so Luo Ting's handling satisfied him. He seemed not to have heard the shout just now, and looked at Pei Yue and asked calmly

: "What do you want to say about Ning Zhong's death?"

Pei Yue lowered his head slightly and said calmly: "I am very disappointed."

"disappointment?"

Emperor Kaiping repeated this word, his eyes became strange, and asked again: "Are you disappointed in me?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "That's not what I meant. The disappointment I mentioned is because some adults in the court are too selfish."

Emperor Kaiping asked with great interest: "Tell me and listen."

Pei Yue ignored the people behind him from beginning to end and kept talking to the emperor. He continued: "Your Majesty, I want to know the fate of Cheng'an Hou Lu Min."

Luo Ting's eyes lit up and he looked at Pei Yue with approval.

Wang Pingzhang, the Duke of Wei at the head of the class on the right, said slowly: "Pei Yue, what we are talking about now is the death of Ning Zhong. Let's not discuss other irrelevant matters for the time being."

However, no one expected that Pei Yue would sneer and say: "Wei Guogong, do you think Ning Zhong and Lu Min have nothing to do with each other?"

Wang Pingzhang frowned. Of course he could hear the trap hidden in Pei Yue's words, but it was difficult to answer this question. After a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Lu Min has promoted Ning Zhong, that's all."

Naturally, Pei Yue would not let him go so easily and asked: "Master Junji, I want to know whether Lu Min is guilty or not?"

Emperor Kaiping looked at Wang Pingzhang expressionlessly, and the latter replied solemnly: "Lu Min is guilty, but he has committed suicide. Your Majesty has taken away his title and does not allow Yin to be granted a title as a descendant of the country. The matter has been settled."

.”

Pei Yue was not stupid and arrogant enough to reveal all the inside stories about the Battle of the Western Territory. In that case, those who wanted to kill him would not be the courtiers who could only jump around, but the emperor sitting on the dragon throne. But those inside stories were enough for him to solve the problem at hand.

problem, because others don't know that he understands it so well.

Listening to Wang Pingzhang's nonsense, Pei Yue crossed his hands in front of him and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Lu Min is guilty and Ning Zhong is equally guilty. I killed him to save the war situation in the Western Region. I had no choice but to do it. The reason why I feel

I am disappointed because Marshal Tang, the Marquis of Jining, has already stated this in his memorial, but the princes of the Manchu Dynasty still want to shout and kill their ministers. How can I not be disappointed?"

Wang Pingzhang said sternly: "Pei Yue, no one denies your contribution, don't judge him right or wrong!"

Pei Yue said sternly: "Master Junji, if I didn't kill Ning Zhong at that time, the Guping camp would fall into the hands of Xiwu, the gate of Lingzhou would be opened, and millions of lives would be destroyed. Do you want to watch countless dead people in Daliang turn into corpses?"

Fierce ghost, I will cry in your dreams every night!"

There was dead silence in the main hall.
