At the court meeting, there was a huge buzz of people.
Ye Yongjia straightened his gauze hat, stepped into the hall, glanced at the ministers on the east and west sides with his peripheral vision, then looked at the empty dragon chair and bowed his head.
"Master Ye, have you seen this memorial? It was given by Lu Ting." The prince took a memorial from the eunuch and placed it in front of Ye Yongjia.
"Your Highness," Ye Yongjia did not raise his head when he replied, "I have learned about this memorial from Minister Cai, and I think it is very appropriate."
The prince showed displeasure: "Let me tell you, many ministers of your Ministry of War are opposed to this memorial."
"Has your Majesty ever read it?" Ye Yongjia asked.
"The emperor has already read it, so he sent it here for everyone to discuss..." At this point, the prince suddenly changed the subject, "Does Ye Bingbu still plan to persist?"
Ye Yongjia kowtowed and said: "Now that I have accepted this memorial, I have nothing to regret. All I have to do is listen to the emperor's decree."
"You are deliberately threatening the Emperor," Guo Xiangren sneered. "You have soldiers in your hands, the power of the Second Punishment Department, and some unidentified party members. You are powerful and powerful. If you insist, what will happen to the Emperor?"
Will there be a word 'no'?"
"Don't talk about participating in politics." The prince folded the memorial paper. "We can't sway his heart with our earnest persuasion here. Mr. Ye, I will return the memorial to you now. You go back to the Ministry of War and think about it carefully."
If you repent in time, you will
Burn this memorial; if you still have this thought, you can submit it to others and ask for it. But I am by no means a soft-hearted person. Once I see that you are obsessed with it and make mistakes again and again, I will organize the officials to impeach you.
, on the great crime of 'forming parties for personal gain'!"
After saying this, he handed the memorial to the eunuch beside him, who walked slowly to Ye Yongjia, waiting for him to reach out and take it.
Ye Yongjia broke out in a cold sweat and thought to himself: "It seems that the prince has also conspired with Cunzhao to kill me. But if they really follow their ideas and burn this memorial, I'm afraid Lu Tingci will have another 'speculative camp'"
With such a good reputation, there is no chance of promotion...'
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. He was invited by Cai Xianqing with high hopes, but it still failed like this. The Ye Party's hard work seemed to be in vain.
"Mr. Ye, if you don't want to take it back, we will keep it." People from Hunan did not forget to urge him.
"Oh, yes..."
Ye Yongjia opened his tired and empty eyes wide, and then he came back to his senses. He gradually stood up, and the memorial was already dangling in his eyes, blurry, as if it had become a blur. He stopped going.
Pay attention to its position, and just stretch out a pair of trembling hands, waiting for the other party to hand it here.
'No...no!'
Suddenly an idea flashed in his head. He raised his head slightly and his eyes were as sharp as usual. 'That Cunzhao didn't want to block Lu Tingci's promotion, but he wanted to use this to impeach me! In this case, can you...'
Ye Yongjia's thoughts cleared up in an instant. He stopped reading the memorial. Instead, he turned around, lifted his robe, and knelt down towards the prince again: "Your Highness, I have something else to say!"
The prince was surprised and a little dazed: "You, what do you want to say?"
"I deeply regret submitting this document. This not only harms me, but also harms Censor Lu Shi, giving him a bad name." Ye Yongjia said sadly.
When the princes and ministers of the court saw each other, they all turned to look at each other. They felt confused and started shouting.
"Everyone, be quiet and don't disturb me!" The prince shouted quickly, "Wait until I finish asking Mr. Ye. Ye Bingbu, have you changed your mind and are you willing not to submit this omission?"
Ye Yongjia replied: "I have indeed changed my mind. However, Ye still believes that Lu Tingci has great talents and needs to be recommended. Don't let the sage's heart be cold. It is indeed inappropriate to go directly to the imperial censor, but it is better to ask another official.
It's still possible. Why not postpone it for a few days until Ye Mou writes a new memorial, and then we can all discuss it together. Wouldn't that be the best strategy?"
"This..." After hearing this, the prince couldn't make up his mind. He glanced at the two groups of ministers and asked, "What do you think?"
Seeing that Ye Yongjia had lowered his head and compromised a little with them, and his arrogance had been almost beaten, everyone agreed to his trivial request in accordance with the principle of showing mercy to others.
I have no intention of letting go, I can't persist.
Seeing that the number of people supporting him suddenly increased, the prince felt unsure, so he complied with people's hearts and nodded, saying: "It is a blessing that Mr. Ye can repent so quickly. Regardless of the past grievances, I am willing to follow Mr. Ye's instructions.
I will write a memorial and leave it behind the main hall, seal it in the pavilion, and retreat from the court!"
"How many days did you really let him rest?"
As soon as the prince entered the hall of the Imperial Guard, he saw Tai Su and Cun Zhao coming over to ask.
"Uncle, brother Cun, I have tried my best to help you," the prince sighed helplessly and walked past them holding on to the table. "However, all the ministers believed Ye Yongjia's words and agreed with them more. I
I don’t dare to go against the will of the people.”
Cun Zhao followed closely: "The emperor has the power to supervise the country, so he should make his own decision. Don't be so weak! If the discussion is delayed and allowed to drag on like this, then when the emperor agrees,
After the restoration of Xuanhua, once the New Deal is launched, if this guy is given military and political power, the affairs of the government and the opposition will be beyond your control!"
After hearing this, the prince did not feel any guilt at all. He just replied lightly: "Oh, it's too late, it's too late..."
"In fact, it's not too late," Tai Su suddenly patted Cun Zhao on the shoulder, "I can personally take action and lead the officials to impeach."
The prince looked at Tai Su and smiled immediately: "Yes, my uncle has kept his promise. You handed over the impeachment memorial. Who in the government and the public would dare not to agree?"
"I'm just afraid that the dog will jump over the wall and cause Ye Yongjia to have no way out, and maybe he will bite you two in turn." The prince added.
"My uncle and I have already considered this issue. There is no need to be afraid of him!" Cun Zhao waved his hand, "If you want to eradicate the Ye Party, you must not be kind-hearted. You must eradicate the roots! Not only must we impeach Lu Tingci today, but we must also
Compute everything he has done in the past. Things like 'colluding with the Liu Party' and 'New Deal harming the country' are all pinned on his head, so that he will never be able to turn around!"
"Brother Wan, you know very well what the old uncle did, right?" Ye Yongjia spread a piece of paper on the sandalwood table in the study and turned to ask Wan Yuzhi.
"I..." Wan Yuzhi's face turned a little pale, and he became a little timid, "I know it. But those dirty things... can you tell me?"
"Of course I can," Ye Yongjia leaned on the chair and smiled softly, "Today, I will let you have a good time and tell me from beginning to end!"
