No one expected Xu Ying to react like this. Not only did she angrily reprimand Chen Rui, but she also did so in front of so many officials, and even the emperor tore off his clothes to reveal his chest full of scars.
However, when everyone saw the dozens of scars left on Xu Ying's chest, they couldn't help but sigh.
What kind of brutal fight did Xu Ying go through to leave so many scars on her body? You must know that many of these scars look very scary, and some even appear near the heart. If this is
If you are not lucky enough, your destiny may be lost.
I have to say that the scars on Xu Ying's chest made everyone stunned. For a general, the scars all over his body are the representative of his illustrious military achievements.
Just as Xu Ying scolded Chen Rui, he had made great military exploits, so how could Chen Rui, a small member of the military, be able to question him.
Unexpectedly, the emperor who was sitting there couldn't help but reveal some sparkle in his eyes when he looked at the wound on Xu Ying's exposed chest.
On the other hand, Chen Rui was embarrassed and annoyed by Xu Ying's words. She originally wanted to step on Xu Ying and become famous, but she never expected that she would be scolded by the other party in front of so many people.
At this moment, Chen Rui felt that all the colleagues around him were looking at him with a strange look. After this, he didn't want to make a name for himself in the court in order to go further.
Because of Xu Ying, he will be disliked by all the important officials in the court. Let alone going further in the future, I am afraid that even this official position may not be secure at the moment.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui couldn't help but be filled with hatred for Li Huan and Xu Ying. If it weren't for them, how could he be like this.
Chen Rui didn't think about it. He was just a Yuanwailang. If he hadn't taken the initiative to stir up trouble, Li Huan probably didn't even know who he was, and Xu Ying wouldn't have scolded him.
to him.
Now I feel that I have lost face and blame everything on other people. With such a character alone, it is no wonder that he has been a member of the Communist Party of China for many years.
Thinking that he might be cut off from his official career, Chen Rui couldn't help but get angry and shouted at Xu Ying: "Bold Xu Ying, this is the place where the great dynasty will meet, and your majesty is in front of you, how dare you expose your chest and belly here,
Such an inappropriate behavior in front of you is really a common man who doesn’t know the rules of etiquette.”
As soon as Chen Rui said this, the expressions of Li Hu, Li Guo and Meng Wei who were following Li Huan changed.
Although Chen Rui's words were only directed at Xu Ying, they couldn't understand the hidden meaning in his words. It was simply that Xu Ying and other generals were just ordinary men who didn't know etiquette.
For a moment, Li Hu, Li Guo, Meng Wei and others all stared at Chen Rui with wide eyes and evil aura.
Li Hu, Li Guo, Meng Wei and others were all ferocious men who had spent their entire lives in battles on the battlefield, their hands stained with blood. The evil aura rushed towards their faces like real substance.
Being stared at deathly by several people, not to mention a helpless person like Chen Rui, even an ordinary soldier would not be able to withstand the death stares of these people.
Li Huan frowned, glanced at Chen Rui lightly and sneered: "What a great Mr. Chen, Li, let me ask you, if there were no lieutenants like Xu Ying who risked their lives to fight the Tatars,
"The reason why our Ming Dynasty is so stable is that countless common people in the mouth of Mr. Chen sacrificed their lives in exchange for the peaceful and peaceful life of a coward like you, Mr. Chen."
As he spoke, Li Huan shouted: "In Li's opinion, people like Xu Ying and others are the pillars of the country, and you, huh, are just the cysts of the country."
"The cysticercus of the country!"
As soon as Li Huan said this, Chen Rui felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His face became extremely pale, and he was so jealous that he turned to Li Huan with a ferocious face and said: "You are a common man, Li Huan. Chen studied hard for decades in a cold window. Once he was in high school, he became a master."
He is the pillar of the country appointed by the late emperor. How dare you insult Chen like this? Is it possible that in your eyes, Li Huan, only you common men who are obsessed with killing are the pillars of the country, while we are busy for the country and for the king?
Are all the ministers who share worries and regulate the universe all cystic worms?"
After the words fell, many officials with imperial examination background showed some approval on their faces. It was obvious that Chen Rui's words had touched their hearts. It could even be said that Chen Rui spoke out their thoughts.
In the eyes of these people, the right path is to be born in the imperial examination, while nobles and warriors are just ordinary people who are illiterate, vulgar and greedy.
Although they didn't call them noble or noble, that's what they thought in their hearts.
Chen Rui is indeed a man who is good at maneuvering. He is quite quick-witted and knows how to drag the entire civil service group into trouble.
Even though he knew that Chen Rui was raising a banner, as a scholar, he naturally stood in one place, not to mention what Li Huan just said made many officials unhappy.
Although Li Huan did not address any of them by name, the words he rebuked Chen Rui sounded to their ears as if he were talking about them, which was so harsh.
Li Huan just sneered, glanced at Chen Rui with disdain and said: "Li pays respect to the scholars who are well-educated and upright. If you are like Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, and Wang Yangming, the governor-general, he has served as general and minister, civil and military officials."
If it means both, Li will retract what he said before, but I don’t know how Mr. Chen compares with Mr. Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming."
After hearing this, some officials couldn't help but look at Li Huan with deep meaning, and there was a bit of approval in their eyes.
The large civil service group can be said to have brought together the elites of the Ming Empire. After all, those who can pass through layers of scientific examinations and selections and finally ascend to the court must be the elites of an era who are only one in ten thousand.
Among so many elites, there are always some figures like Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing.
I have to say that Li Huan's words were very convincing. They not only refuted Chen Rui's intention of trying to make him offend the entire civil servant group, but also made his own attitude clear either intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Rui was speechless for a moment. How should he respond to Li Huan's words? What kind of people are Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, and Wang Yangming, the chief governor.
It may not be possible to produce such a person with both civil and military skills in decades. He, Chen Rui, would not dare to compare with these people even if he had no conscience.
Unable to refute Li Huan, Chen Rui couldn't help but feel angry and anxious. She pointed at Li Huan and said tremblingly: "You...you..."
Chen Rui's body swayed, and the next moment Chen Rui's body softened and fell directly to the ground. From the looks of it, it seemed that he had fainted because of Li Huan's anger.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Li Huan with a strange expression.
Could it be that Li Huan had a grudge against them? First he was so angry that Chen Wenliang almost vomited blood, and now he was so angry that Chen Rui fainted.
Several officials standing next to Chen Rui quickly stepped forward to check. They sat on the throne and watched the tit-for-tat confrontation between Li Huan and Chen Rui as if they were watching a play. They watched with relish.
However, when he saw that Chen Rui had fainted, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but frowned and said: "Come here, Chen Ruijun made an mistake and ordered someone to take him down, and ordered the imperial doctor to diagnose him. I also told him that Chen Rui has no virtue and incompetence."
This generation has stolen the imperial government's official assets and become a scourge of the country. It is hereby specially ordered to remove him from his position as a member of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, deprive him of his status as a Jinshi, and demote him to a commoner...
Originally, Chen Rui just pretended to be unconscious to cover up his embarrassment. Now he suddenly heard the emperor's words, and he didn't even bother pretending to be unconscious. He suddenly stood up, and only a few of the officials were thrown into the air.
The colleagues who hurriedly pinched him were shocked.
Chen Rui stood up, bowed to the emperor with a thud and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Your Majesty, forgive me. You removed my official position and deprived me of my status as a Jinshi. How can I live..."
If he was just deprived of his official position, then he was still a Jinshi and entered the court step by step through the orthodox imperial examination. His status as a Jinshi can be said to be the basis for his official career.
As long as his status as a Jinshi is maintained, he can enter the court and become an official, and when he retires, he can live in the countryside and become a famous scholar. But now the emperor wants to deprive him of his status as a Jinshi. This is equivalent to suddenly breaking his foundation.
.
There are hundreds of members of the Chen family, all of whom are blessed by him as a Jinshi master. If he loses this status, all kinds of exorbitant taxes and corvee will completely destroy the Chen family.
Therefore, he is not afraid of being demoted or even resigned, but what he fears most is losing his status as a Jinshi.
Chen Rui, who was talking loudly, tried to crawl towards Zhu Houzhao and wanted to plead with the emperor. However, before he could get close to the emperor, he saw Qiu Ju taking a step forward to stop Chen Rui.
At the same time, Li Huan glanced at the emperor. The emperor and his ministers looked at each other, as if they had a tacit understanding. He heard Li Huan say: "Here, why don't you drive this person out of the palace."
Just by looking at the look of disgust on Li Huan's face, you can tell how much Li Huan disdains people like Chen Rui who sell direct invitations.
If the other party was clear-cut and showed that he could not deal with the chariot and horse, then he would have looked down upon the other party. However, for someone like Chen Rui who deliberately betrayed his reputation, Li Huan could only feel disgusted.
Immediately, several burly imperial guards stepped forward to lift Chen Rui up, and then dragged Chen Rui away like a little chicken.
Chen Rui kept struggling and begging for mercy in the hands of the imperial guards, begging the emperor, but unfortunately Zhu Houzhao didn't pay attention to the other party's intention.
As Chen Rui's voice gradually faded away, all the officials present looked at each other, and Chen Rui's begging for mercy seemed to still be echoing in their ears.
Why does this scene look so familiar? It seems that not long ago, when Chen Wenliang, the censor of Zuodu, and others were taken down, it was the same situation.
The experiences of Chen Wenliang and Chen Rui couldn't help but make many officials feel sad about the death of a rabbit or a fox, and they secretly thought in their hearts that they really stole the chicken but lost the rice in today's court meeting.
Instead of being able to impeach Li Huan and Wang Yangming, they instead got involved with Chen Wenliang, Chen Rui and other officials.
Several officials looked at each other and felt a little disappointed in their hearts. There was no hope of impeaching Li Huan again today.
The only thing they can do is to find ways to collect evidence against Li Huan after they go back, and then discuss how to deal with Li Huan.
Obviously these people also understood it, so when they saw Li Huan turning his hands to make clouds and rain, and easily disrupting their impeachment situation, they already had the idea of halting up and waiting for the future, just waiting for today's big event
The meeting can end as soon as possible.
Since there is nothing they can do about Li Huan this time, they will look for a good opportunity. What they lack most is time. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at Li Huan. They don't believe that Li Huan has not made any mistakes. Don't let them catch Li Huan.
Huan's handle, otherwise, they would definitely force Li Huan to go around in vain.
While comforting themselves in their hearts, many officials stood with lowered eyebrows and lowered their heads, losing their previous menacing aura.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at all the officials, and finally his eyes fell on the cabinet elders and said slowly: "My dear ministers, let's discuss this with the cabinet. This time the army has won, the cabinet should take measures to deal with the meritorious officers and soldiers in the army.
What do the ministers think when a reward regulation comes out?"
Li Dongyang, as the chief minister of the cabinet, took a deep breath after hearing this and said: "Your Majesty, I will convene officials from various ministries to discuss this matter after I go to court."
Zhu Houzhao took a deep look at Li Dongyang and said, "I hope Li Qing will not disappoint me."
Li Dongyang's originally stooped figure seemed to be a little more stooped in an instant, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I will not disappoint Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.
Many officials breathed a sigh of relief at this time, only looking forward to the next moment when the emperor was ready to retreat. However, at this moment, Li Huan suddenly spoke, and as soon as he spoke, it directly shocked the hearts of all the civil and military officials present.
He suddenly hung up, and all eyes looked at Li Huan.
Under the gazes of everyone, Li Huan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I still have this piece!"
Zhu Houzhao was about to signal Qiu Ju to order the retreat, but after hearing Li Huan's words, he couldn't help but look at Li Huan.
Obviously, Zhu Houzhao did not expect that Li Huan, who had just defeated the criticism of the civil servant group, would still have something to do.
However, Zhu Hou looked after Li Huan's solemn look and felt a little curious in his heart.
What happened to Li Huan?
With such curiosity, Zhu Houzhao sat upright, looked at Li Huan and said, "I wonder what else Li Qing has to do?"
Li Huan said slowly: "I am impeaching Shen Yu, the grain ambassador of the army, and Ma Qing, the commander of the firearms camp and warehouse, and more than a dozen logistics officials, who have colluded with each other to pass off inferior goods as good ones and inferior goods as superior ones, and embezzled all kinds of ordnance, grain and supplies.
..."
When the names came out of Li Huan's mouth one by one, all the officials present seemed to have thunder in their ears, and they looked at Li Huan in shock.
Is Li Huan going to handle a big case and build a big prison? He actually impeached more than a dozen named officials at once. Careful people can even find that the dozen officials Li Huan impeached accounted for almost all the people in charge of army logistics.
Almost 70% to 80% are officials in charge.
Of course, the most important thing is that almost most of these officials were transferred from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and went to the front line with Wang Yangming more than half a year ago to be responsible for logistics dispatch.
Li Huan mercilessly impeached these officials at the great court meeting. These officials were the backbone of the civil service group. Now he is impeaching these people in front of all civil and military officials. Could this be Li Huan's counterattack?
Some officials with dark minds looked at the stern-faced Li Huan and had such thoughts inexplicably.
[Brothers, please give me a monthly pass. I don’t have a monthly pass.]
