(ps: It has been repaired. Sorry, there was a small problem.)
The capital of gods, Hanyuan Hall.
This is the seventh day of daily dynasty. It is the first time since Emperor Linde ascended the throne that the dynasty has been held for seven consecutive days.
The ministers headed by Zhao Pengcheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, were increasingly persecuting, and the momentum in the court was getting stronger and stronger. Even the supervisors of the Imperial College, the candidates in the capital, and some editors of the Hanlin Academy began to get involved in the matter.
The great righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, respecting Heaven and Dharma Ancestor.
The epidemic in Jinling was regarded as a sign of the emperor's lack of morality, and all the scholars asked the emperor to issue an edict to sin against themselves and to offer sacrifices to heaven to relieve the trouble in Jiangnan.
On July 19th of the third year of Linde, a large number of students, instigated by thoughtful people, gathered outside the palace and asked the emperor to issue an edict to punish themselves. This was known as the "Linder Academic Revolution" in history.
But the ending of this "academic revolution" was something no one expected.
On the 19th day of July in the third year of Linde, at the beginning of Chen Shi, the news of the great epidemic in Jiangnan had spread throughout the Imperial Academy.
Especially Yang Qingyuan's behavior caused an uproar in the Imperial College.
For these loyal and patriotic students, Yang Qingyuan's reputation was not a good one.
Although Emperor Xizongli made some mistakes, he was still the father of the emperor. You, Yang Qingyuan, committed regicide with your ministers. This is treason and rebellion.
Therefore, although Yang Qingyuan has high prestige in the court, his reputation among these students is not that good.
Especially the former Imperial College Scholar Kong Qinli was Dongge University Scholar. This old man has always demonized Yang Qingyuan's image.
In the minds of these students, Yang Qingyuan is regarded as a figure like Dong Zhuo and Er Zhurong.
Swordsmen and shoes go to the palace, they enter the court without following, praise and worship without recognition, monopolize power, and ignore the emperor.
Finally, with the efforts of a group of loyal ministers, Yang Qingyuan, a rebellious minister, was driven out of the capital.
So when someone brought Yang Qingyuan's rhythm today, the crowd was excited.
Although there are a small number of sober students who are trying their best to dissuade everyone and ask them to be rational and restrained, few people pay attention to it.
"You are just here to flatter Yang Qingyuan, a traitor. Does he know that?!"
"We scholars should have some backbone, look at how flattering you are!?"
…
In the Imperial College, an angry young man who had been radical all year round suddenly stood on the stone platform, raised his arms and shouted, "It has been fifty years since the imperial dynasty has supported the country's scholars, and today it is the day of sacrifice for righteousness!"
With just these words, a large number of students admired him, raised their arms and shouted, followed behind him, and headed towards the imperial city in a mighty manner.
The last time students gathered on such a large scale was the last time...that is, when Yu Yanyi was imprisoned.
"Your Majesty! Please kill Yang Qingyuan to comfort the world, and issue an edict to bring peace to the people."
Under the leadership of Zhao Pengcheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, nearly fifty ministers came out one after another.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Most of the people who came out were officials of the sixth or seventh rank of the imperial court.
Today's emperor is not as cruel and domineering as Taizu, nor is he as kind and powerful as Taizong. His apparent control over the affairs of the court is even less than that of Emperor Xizong Li.
Yang Qingyuan's plan to weaken the imperial power will naturally make the imperial power no longer unscrupulous and be restricted to a certain extent by the power of the prime minister led by civil servants and the military power led by military generals.
But it also made Emperor Linde less authoritative than the previous emperors.
This also gave those ministers the courage to challenge the emperor's bottom line.
"What if I don't agree?!"
Emperor Linde looked ugly as he looked at the kneeling courtiers below.
This is a game between the emperor and the ministers. Now the strength of both sides is still on the same level, and even the ministers headed by Zhao Pengcheng have the upper hand.
The reason is that the administrative power of the emperor was weakened by the cabinet, and Qian Muqian, the bachelor of Wenyuange who was in charge of the cabinet and the chief minister of the cabinet, had nothing to do with himself.
Wang Hua, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace who is in charge of cabinet affairs, has remained silent, uncharacteristically.
This resulted in Emperor Linde being somewhat weak and weak.
"Your Majesty, please know that students have gathered outside the Daming Palace at this moment. All the students are demanding severe punishment for the traitor Yang Qingyuan. I ask your Majesty to listen to the voices of the people and make a difference for the livelihood of the people of the world!"
Emperor Linde narrowed his eyes slightly, "What if I don't allow it?!"
"My lord, beg for bones!"
Zhao Pengcheng lay on the ground of Hanyuan Hall.
Of course he didn't really resign. He finally climbed up to the position of Minister of Household Affairs. How could he be willing to give up?!
Begging for bones was just a way to express one's attitude and force the emperor to make concessions.
Da Jiuqing, who is not a towering tree? A single move can affect the whole body!
Of course, this principle also applies to Yang Qingyuan, who although he does not have the name of Da Jiu Qing, he has the actual status of Da Jiu Qing.
But now Zhao Pengcheng took advantage of the epidemic to overwhelm Yang Qingyuan and gained a considerable advantage in the situation.
Yang Qingyuan is the foundation of the new party and the biggest supporting force behind the emperor.
If Yang Qingyuan's political power can be defeated, then Emperor Linde will not be far away from becoming a puppet!
The general trend is with me, I can hit it with one blow!
"I beg for the bones!"
"I beg for the bones!"
Zhao Pengcheng's words made the ministers who were kneeling on the ground respond one after another.
If Emperor Linde really dares to dismiss so many officials today without any evidence, even if they are only middle- and lower-level officials of the sixth or seventh grade, it will cause an uproar.
It's a pity that this is the moment for the thirteenth class. The young emperor sneered, "I am both happy and worried today. What I am happy about is that there is a capable minister like Yang Qing who serves the country and turns the tide. What I am worried about is seeing people like you.
.Looking at you, I feel that I have used the blood and sweat of the people to raise a group of ignorant and incompetent worms and trash!"
Zhao Pengcheng was suddenly shocked. He heard a huge danger from Emperor Linde's words.
Before these people could open their mouths to argue, Thirteen said, "Wang Qing, read it!"
Wang Hua, who had been silent all this time, followed the order and stood next to Zhao Pengcheng, who was kneeling on the ground.
Although Wang Hua had not spoken yet, Zhao Pengcheng's heart had already sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Wang Hua took out a memorial from his sleeve, unfolded it and read aloud,
"Your Majesty Yang Qingyuan bowed his head immediately. With the grace of God, he was promoted to be the deposed envoy of Yangzhou and the envoy of Yangzhou town. He was in charge of the sudden epidemic in Yangzhou. Now the epidemic has subsided, the truth has been revealed, and the major case has been closed. The epidemic in Jinling,
It started on April 3rd and ended on July 18th, which lasted more than three months.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Blood River Sect Niququ Zhou Ren, Hu Yongcheng, Wu Feng, Ma Liukui and a group of Blood River Sect rebels, a total of sixty-five people, have been captured and executed
, he was escorted to the capital city in a few days, tried and convicted by Dali Temple, and the punishments were clarified and the national laws were rectified. The bandit leader Zhou Ren developed the poisonous seeds and sown them on the banks of the Shuijing River, causing hundreds of thousands of people in Jinling to be infected with the virus within ten days.
Withered Xi, Qunli suffered from sores, and he was actually the leader of evildoers. He was escorted to Jinling. Hu Yongcheng, Wu Feng and others assisted Zhou in his evil deeds. The situation was extremely abominable and they needed to be punished on the spot.
By July 18, the epidemic situation in Jinling had subsided, and there were no more patients with the virus. In this epidemic, a total of 942,307 people in Jinling were infected, and a total of 6,670 people died from the disease.
Fifteen people. The rest have recovered.
…
Sun Shichang is enshrined in the Taiyuan Hospital, Li Binhu, the Prime Minister of the Taiyuan Hospital, and Tang Shenwei, a Sichuan Chinese medicine doctor... worked hard to prepare the antidote... The second daughter of Linhai Marquis, Chen Danlin, the six-door chaser, took the lead in capturing the rebels and tried the medicine with her own body.
Chia…
Today, Jinling has begun to decide, and the major case has been concluded. This is the virtue of His Majesty's holy robes and enlightenment, and the virtue of educating the people... The previous description has been established, and I will not go into details now. I am in Yangzhou, looking up at the palace, hoping to be able to face the Holy Spirit. I am very lucky.
When the time comes, I will present all the matters here, please ask the Holy Spirit to read them, and I, Yang Qingyuan, will pay my respects again."
As Wang Hua spoke clearly and read the memorial, almost everyone in the civil and military court was shocked, and some were dumbfounded and at a loss.
Even veterans like Zhao Menke, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who had already guessed something, were shocked.
He believed that Yang Qingyuan's ability could control the epidemic in Jinling, but he did not expect that the results would be so impressive.
The new members of the Yong'an First and Third Departments, led by Wang Hua, no longer concealed their expressions.
The joy is beyond words!
As for other people, they were not in such a good mood, especially those ministers who said that natural disasters were irresistible. Some had earth-colored faces, some were at a loss, and some were fighting.
"I wonder if Zhao Qing and Jia Qing are ashamed when you hear this news. At least I feel ashamed for you and your incompetence and ignorance."
Emperor Linde did not care about the face of Zhao Pengcheng and others at this moment, and directly cursed in their faces.
During the great epidemic in Jinling, these people not only did not think about how to control the epidemic, but instead regarded it as a good opportunity for political attack. They used Jinling's intention to criticize Yang Qingyuan and persecute the emperor. They did not consider the lives of Jinling's two million people at all.
In eyes.
No matter how much he pretended to be calm, Thirteen was still a young emperor. He was able to vent his anger happily at this moment, which really made him feel comfortable. The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He pointed at Zhao Pengcheng and others and cursed,
"Yang Hou is only twenty-nine this year. He has not yet reached the age of thirty-three and has no heirs. He was originally a lord of the imperial court. He had made great contributions to the country and could be raised in the imperial court. But when the great epidemic broke out in Jinling, he took the initiative
He went to Jinling and bought Jinling's anti-epidemic medicine. When he led the officials and people of Jinling to fight against the epidemic, you, the scheming and scheming people, are still here urging me to sacrifice myself to heaven, and you also want to punish Yang Hou. This
How can you say such things?! If I listen to you and punish Yang Qing severely, how many people will die in Jinling?!"
The ministers were silent, especially Zhao Pengcheng and others, who could not find anything to say to refute Emperor Linde.
They were defeated in this round. They were completely defeated and there was no room for them to make a comeback.
The bottom line is that what Yang Qingyuan did was really beautiful! The harm of the epidemic is no less than that of a large-scale war. Which epidemic in ancient and modern times has not killed countless people and made people shiver?! But within three months, Yang Qingyuan
, the epidemic virus in Jinling was eradicated, and more than 6,000 people died. This is an achievement that has never been dreamed of.
Yang Qingyuan's achievements in controlling the epidemic are like a slap in the face of these people. After thirty years of hard work, they simply can't handle this slap.
Zhao Pengcheng was leaning in the Hanyuan Hall at this time without saying a word.
Zhao Pengcheng knew that this was a conspiracy set up by Emperor Linde, Wang Hua and other traitors when he had already figured it out and heard it in Yang Qingyuan's memorial that Wang Hua read.
Please enter the trap. I didn’t expect that I would jump in stupidly.
After all, the power was blinded and unable to see the situation clearly.
Zhao Pengcheng, Jia Ping and others all bowed their heads and said nothing.
Emperor Linde snorted coldly and said: "The epidemic broke out and the national crisis was at the forefront. You did not want to serve the country or save the people. You intrigued and eliminated dissidents. You regarded the people's life and death as nothing. What are you doing? Do you have to have heavy casualties among the people of Jinling?"
Isn’t it possible to rescue us again?”
Zhao Pengcheng bowed his head and said nothing, and Jia Ping was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Their careers have come to an end!
Emperor Linde said coldly: "I, the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, receive salaries from the common people, and I will not support such worms in the court as you who ignore the common people! Don't you want to beg for bones?! I will grant you my favor! Pass the decree and banish Zhao Pengcheng.
Jia Ping... and others' positions will be handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for verification!"
Shisan and Wang Hua had not originally thought that they could eliminate all these backbone opposition forces at once, but they just wanted to regain a few important positions.
But because Yang Qingyuan did such a good job, this was not just a slap in the face for those ministers who clamored for sacrifices to heaven and sinners, but a stab in their chests:
Therefore, Emperor Linde suddenly changed his decision and decided to cut the knot with a sharp knife!
Thirteen put on a high hat, directly pointing out that Zhao Pengcheng, Jia Ping and others were superstitious and chaotic in government, and ignored the life and death of the two million people in Jinling.
As soon as these words came out, the reputation of these people among the civil society was already ruined.
Being an official is not just about ability and qualifications, official reputation, achievements, and prestige are also important.
After this matter spreads, these leaders will be criticized by thousands of people.
Therefore, although today they are simply handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there is only one final result - to be expelled from the imperial court and never to be used again.
Just after Cui Xu, Lu Jun, and Zheng Hong were expelled from the court, the Suzhou epidemic officially spread in Chang'an and throughout the Tang Dynasty.
Confucianism attaches great importance to benevolent government, benevolent government, caring for the people, and putting the people first are the core keys of Confucius and Mencius.
Although the Confucian school was not the only one in the Zhou Dynasty, Confucianism was still one of the two major schools of thought in the world and occupied the most important position in the imperial court.
If Yang Qingyuan fails to cure the epidemic, the world will subconsciously think that Zhao Pengcheng, Jia Ping and others are right. The idea of respecting heaven and ancestors has never lacked market, but for Emperor Linde who competes with heaven and is not far away from offering sacrifices to heaven and sinners, Yang Qingyuan
Everyone will be secretly dissatisfied.
At that time, nothing will happen to Emperor Linde as the emperor, but Yang Qingyuan will definitely be criticized by thousands of pens.
But now that Yang Qingyuan has succeeded, his success has refuted the absurdity of Zhao Pengcheng and Jia Ping.
When this incident spread, not only did the people of the world hate Zhao Pengcheng, Jia Ping and others, but even the scholars despised their behavior and wrote letters one after another to denounce Zhao Pengcheng, Jia Ping and others for being ignorant, expressing their gratitude to Emperor Linde for their wisdom and wisdom.
admire.
Most of the students in the Imperial College also calmed down at this time.
People who can study in the Imperial College cannot be said to be extremely smart, but they are definitely thoughtful.
When they learned about the results of Jinling's epidemic prevention, they realized that their enthusiasm for serving the country had been taken advantage of, and they cursed one after another.
Only a few people still spoke harshly, saying: Yang Qingyuan, the traitor, was just lucky; Yang Qingyuan's inability to do things actually caused more than 6,000 people to suffer. If he went there, it would definitely not end there...
The king of strong mouths has never been a product of the information age after Blue Star, but a species that has existed since ancient times.
In any case, the turmoil between the divine capital and Jinling gradually subsided.
