On the second day, hundreds of officials went to court in the government hall.
Lin Jue stayed up all night, thinking about what to say, repeatedly studying Chu Qing's actions at the border, looking for loopholes, thinking about the response of Chu Qing's party members, etc.
Until the sky was slightly bright, Lin Jue, who kept hinting to himself, felt that he would succeed. He successfully took the lead in overthrowing Chu Qing and Qiu Wanshan, and became the next Minister of War of the Dachang Dynasty.
Moreover, Lin Jue was very curious about the expressions of Tan Zhongping and other generals after he stood up to impeach Chu Qing.
In fact, Liu Shang found Lin Jue, who was a good match. If he found someone else, any official other than the Ministry of War to impeach Chu Qing, it would not make much sense.
But Lin Jue was different. Lin Jue was the right minister of the Ministry of War. From a professional point of view, he was a professional counterpart when it came to impeaching Chu Qing on border matters.
After all, it is still a matter of choosing one's side, side with Chu Qing or side with the Aristocratic Family.
Lin Jue chose the Aristocratic Family.
It can't be said that Lin Jue and Chu Qing had any deep hatred. It can only be said that Chu Qing never ignored him and just played well with Tan Zhongping. Therefore, Tan Zhongping, who was originally very arrogant in the Ministry of War, became even more arrogant. The most important thing is,
Tan Zhongping made him lose face in the Ministry of War.
Although he has good friends with many aristocratic families, he is not particularly close to them. Now that Liu Shang has extended an olive branch to him on behalf of other aristocratic families and used the Minister of War as bait, how can he not be tempted.
If it were normal, it would be completely nonsense for the aristocratic families to say that they could make him the Minister of the Ministry of War, because even if the aristocratic families unite, they may not be able to become the Minister of the Ministry of War.
But the right time, the right location, the right people, and everything are all taken care of. Once he gets Chu Qing and has a reputation among the "people" and scholars, plus the support of the aristocratic family, and the strong support of civil servants, becoming a minister is not a wishful thinking, and he can be considered a
As for the successor, all the family has to do is to let Minister of the Ministry of War become the commander-in-chief of Nanguan, and he can take over the throne smoothly.
The Sixth Department was in charge, and when it was the turn of the War Department, Lin Jue came out.
"Your Majesty, General, I have something to report. It's about the border. It's about the three border gates. It's about the border army. It's about... Zheng Chuqing, the military supervisor of the three border gates."
After finishing the sentence, the faces of the officials varied.
Among the group of supervisors, Liu Shang had a smile on his lips. He was ready. Today, he would definitely deliver a fatal blow!
Huang Laosi, who was sitting on the throne, didn't know why.
"What is being played?"
"The last general impeached Chu Qing. He had no regard for the laws of the country, disturbed the morale of the army, acted recklessly, and oppressed the people at the border."
There was a "buzz" sound, and there was an explosion in the government hall, and the officials began to whisper among themselves.
"Fuck your mother!"
Tan Zhongping cursed loudly: "You surnamed Lin, you are so fucking full..."
"Shut up!"
Huang Laosi snorted coldly, and Tan Zhongping stopped talking angrily.
Looking at Lin Jue with his head lowered, Huang Laosi frowned sharply.
He has seen people who want to play Chu Qing, and there are always people who want to play, but most of these people are civil servants from aristocratic families. You, a military general, can't play?
"Chu Qing is the supervisor of military weapons and does not have the responsibility of recruiting troops. He is one of them."
Lin Jue said "one", and sure enough, Qiu Wanshan, who was more energetic today and had not dozed off, walked out.
"I'm afraid General Lin has forgotten that the Chu Supervisor is not only the supervisor of the three military weapons, but also the commander of the Qianqi Battalion. Now the grassland Liangrong is ready to move and recruit young soldiers. What's wrong? If you are worried about the country and the people and take precautions,
Even if it is wrong, then Commander Chu is indeed wrong."
Lin Jue subconsciously glanced at Liu Shang among the civil servants, secretly admiring him.
As expected, he is an old fox with rich experience in political struggles. Every word Qiu Wanshan said was expected by Liu Shang yesterday, and it was word for word.
It has to be said that not all civil servants are useless, many big bosses are just unwilling to take action. Just like Liu Shang, he usually keeps quiet, but it does not mean that he is a sixth-grade man.
Since Liu Shang had anticipated Qiu Wanshan's reaction, Lin Jue would naturally continue to act according to what Liu Shang taught him.
"What Mr. Qiu said is absolutely true. Recruiting troops is naturally important."
According to what Liu Shang taught him, Lin Tuo turned around and sneered: "Why do you want to recruit soldiers in Xiao County? I heard that Mr. Qiu is obviously the Minister of Hubu, but he is very concerned about recruiting soldiers and even personally recruits soldiers."
I went to Xiao County and asked the Xiao County government to recruit young people. Is there anything wrong with that?"
The crime was not mentioned, but the meaning was clear: Qiu Wanshan was meddling in other people's business.
"I have indeed gone to Xiao County. As I just said, the grassland Liangrong are ready to make a move. They recruited young men earlier and established themselves in border defense earlier. What's the mistake?"
"Okay, Mr. Qiu is indeed dedicated to serving the country, but I, general, why did you still hear that, as your right servant, you met many gentry families in the lower counties and villages and forced them to send their descendants to the border to join the army!"
Qiu Wanshan frowned and did not immediately respond, but hesitated.
Lin Jue pressed forward step by step: "Master Qiu is dedicated to serving the country, but those sons of rural gentlemen and clans are not related to Master Qiu and are sent to the border to join the army. Master Qiu has the reputation of working hard for the country, but he does not want his wife and children to be separated."
How miserable people are, what is your fame if it’s not an invitation!"
Qiu Wanshan's brows knitted into the Chinese character "Chuan" and he stared at Lin Jui, as if thinking about why Lin Jui was targeting him.
"Your Majesty." Lin Jue turned around and said to Huang Laosi, who had a normal expression: "Qiu Wanshan, the right minister of the Ministry of Finance, is actually a hypocrite. He forced the sons of the rural gentry to join the army, but he enjoys this reputation. More than that, he said
It is to recruit soldiers for the country, but it is because of Chu Qing..."
"General Lin."
Qiu Wanshan finally spoke, showing his usual half-smile but not a smile: "How did you know that I didn't send my relatives to the border?"
"What?"
Lin Jue turned around, with small eyes and big confusion.
"Since I learned that the grassland Liang army was about to close the door, I had trouble sleeping and eating. I also learned about the recruitment of troops at the border. A few days ago, I ordered my son Qiu Zhongjun to rush to the border and abandon his writing to join the army."
The officials were dumbfounded. This was the first time they heard that Qiu Wanshan had a son.
Of course, the most dumbfounded person must be Lin Jue, who shouted: "When did you have a son?"
"I have a son, so I have to report it to you."
"impossible!"
Qiu Wanshan chuckled: "If you don't believe it, go to Jingzhao Mansion and check it out. It's Qiongzhou's Qiu Zhongjun."
"This...how is this possible?"
It is true that Qiu Wanshan does not have a son. He did not have a son before, but he got one last year.
This son is very good. Although Qiu Wanshan has only met him three times, his godson has a full range of functions. He can "make money" as a pretty boy, "act", "throw away banknotes", and "change his name" to film the fourth child's horse.
fart.
Therefore, Qiu Wanshan was very satisfied with his son. He guessed that someone would criticize Chu Qing and his recruitment of soldiers, so he immediately sent his son to the border to join the army.
I have sent them to my son, so I want you to send them to your sons too. There is nothing wrong with that.
Ma Rui, who rarely goes to court, came out and said calmly: "Yes, Mr. Qiu's son did go to the border. Ten days ago, he came to Jingzhao Mansion to report. He is a young man with both civil and military skills and a heart of loyalty and patriotism.
, don’t mention anything else, just say this name, Qiu Zhongjun, loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and a righteous man.”
After finishing speaking, Ma Ru saluted Qiu Wanshan: "Master Qiu has 'raised' a good son. He is the envy of others."
Qiu Wanshan returned the gift, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other tacitly.
