Chapter 641 Liu Qiyuan's Decision

The emperor is so abnormal, why?

Liu Qiyuan couldn't figure it out, this was completely complicating a simple matter.

The Son of Heaven does not have a clear attitude, even if there are hints to Duke Yasukuni, if there is no explicit statement on the major events of the world, then the courtiers must speculate on their own, just like a group of dragons without a leader, fighting each other.

This is by no means a good thing.

In the former Ming Dynasty, Jiajing ruled the world with power and tactics, and all civil and military officials focused on trying to figure out the best. So, what is the world doing?

Although this case involves his sons and daughters, if possible, he naturally hopes that big things can be made into small things.

But it's so weird...

But if it's really a big thing, it's a small thing, a small thing...

Thinking up to this point, Liu Qiyuan seemed to have thought of something, Tong Kong suddenly shrank, and an unspeakable fear instantly enveloped his whole body!

This is a sinkhole!

The will of the Son of Heaven is Daheng's heaven, but Daheng also has courts, civil and military officials, and yamen level after level.

The emperor didn't express his attitude. Didn't officials at all levels, civil and military, not perform their functions?

A big thing that shocked the world, and it was obviously abnormal, and it couldn't stand the investigation at all.

The emperor didn't formally express his attitude, so the big case ended hastily, and the criminals were allowed to get away with it.

Even if there is a hint from the emperor, but... this hint is too vague, and it can even be said that it is just one-sided words of Lord Yasukuni!

In this way, if the love affair ends hastily, even if this is what the emperor wants to see, everyone will be happy.

but……

What is the most taboo thing for the emperor?

Civil and military affairs are about balance and checks and balances.

But once this matter is done, isn't it the most taboo of civil and military collusion in the imperial power?

And it was the first minister of the cabinet who colluded with the first prince of the Daheng military service leader!

Reversing black and white... calling a deer a horse?

As a courtier, he has room for maneuver when he commits any crime, even in the matter that involved him this time, there is room for maneuver.

But once the emperor became suspicious, it added a thorn in the emperor's heart...

Even if he passed it easily, even if the emperor didn't think of it for a while, but once he thought of it...

Violating the taboo of imperial power and making an arbitrary emperor suspicious, Liu Qiyuan dared not think about it.

Thinking of this, Liu Qiyuan's face turned pale, and his back was completely soaked in cold sweat.

"Master Liu?"

Looking at Liu Qiyuan's ever-changing expression, Duke Yasukuni was surprised.

Liu Qiyuan had more intentions to come out, just a little bit, just a little bit, he really stepped into the abyss of eternal doom!

No matter how involved he was in this case, even in the worst case, he would be dismissed from office.

But once Rang violated the taboo of imperial power and made the emperor suspicious of him, it would not be a solution to be dismissed from office.

Moreover, this is not something that he violated the taboo alone.

He and Lord Yasukuni suppressed this matter, and no one in the civil and military courts and the civil and military world spoke out against the inversion of black and white. This is a huge taboo!

"Grandfather..."

Liu Qiyuan made a sound, and the words came to his lips. He looked at Duke Jing in front of him, but he didn't know what to say.

He is a courtier, but the Lord Jingguo in front of him is not just a courtier.

Including him, those who violated the taboo of the imperial power would be doomed forever, but... Duke Yasukuni, not necessarily.

No... Maybe Duke Yasukuni didn't notice it at all?

His identity, it seems, is not sensitive to this, and it is normal...

But no matter what, this is definitely not something he can get involved in.

In just a moment, Liu Qiyuan suppressed the emotion in his heart: "The imperial court has its own laws, no matter what the inside story is about this matter, it should be handled according to the laws!"

Lord Jingguo was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't seem to be able to react, and then his voice became a little lower: "Master Liu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Liu has been an official for dozens of years, and has lived an innocent life. Now he is very old, and he will not have a good life for a few years..."

Liu Qiyuan's voice was a little hoarse, but the rejection in his words was clearly revealed.

Yasukuni said: "If this case is investigated, Mr. Liu, you will have a clear name for the rest of your life, and it may be difficult to preserve it."

"Justice rests in the heart."

Liu Qiyuan shook his head: "This pavilion believes that since the imperial court has set the law, no matter what, it must act according to the law."

"If it is not the case, today because of scruples you ignore the law, and in the future because of scruples you ignore the law, then if this continues, if the law does not exist, the country will not govern the country, and there will be a catastrophe!"

After saying this, Lord Yasukuni stood up abruptly, and there seemed to be a bit of anger in his eyes, but soon, the anger dissipated, and turned into a bit of surprise.

"All ministries of the court, civil and military officials, each have their own responsibilities. Liu has Liu's authority, and you, my lord, also have your own authority..."

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, with great talent and great strategy, and the world's major events are decided by His Majesty. We are all courtiers, and we have the duty of a courtier..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qiyuan didn't say any more, what he said was very straightforward.

Lord Jingguo took a deep look at Liu Qiyuan, said nothing more, cupped his hands, and left.

After Jing Guogong left, Liu Qiyuan got up and paced around. After about a quarter of an hour, Liu Qiyuan seemed to have figured something out, rubbed his forehead, and let out a long breath.

He probably understood the emperor's thoughts a little bit, and he probably figured out how to do it was the best choice for him.

The root of this problem does not lie in the situation, but in the imperial power and the world situation under the imperial power.

The art of the emperor lies in the balance under control.

Whether it is out of control or out of balance, it is not a good thing for a country.

The 200 years of party disputes in the pre-Ming Dynasty clearly demonstrated the terrifying consequences of loss of control and balance.

Now that the country is stable, the country's major policies are all in the court.

And he is the chief assistant of the cabinet and presides over the affairs of the court.

His mission in this Daheng world is not over yet.

However, a thorough investigation of this case shows that there is a precedent for Wang Wu, so he must be implicated.

And if he is implicated, the balance between civil and military will inevitably collapse, and it will inevitably affect the great strategy of Zhaowu's new policy that the emperor has painstakingly begun.

The fiscal and taxation system, the city ship system, the supervisory education system, the restructuring of Lijia...

All of these are carried out in the various ministries of the court, and he, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is still very important.

It would not be a difficult task if he was just picked out. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, he directly supervised the case and killed relatives righteously. This storm could never get involved in him.

But if this is the case, Wen Wuyang will suffer, Wu will suffer, and anyone will do such things as beating a dog in the water, and the political balance of the court will definitely be broken.

This is obviously not something the emperor can tolerate.

If it is not checked, it will inevitably destroy the harsh law that the emperor has painstakingly created over the years.

The law focuses on deterrence. If this deterrence is gone, the disaster will not be replaced by mere taxes or mere smuggling.

I am afraid that the emperor would rather thoroughly investigate the world, disturb the world, and add another shock to the law, rather than continue the disaster for the sake of stability for a while.

How to have the best of both worlds?

Thinking of this, Liu Qiyuan couldn't help frowning.

It seems that only by standing up can he achieve the best of both worlds!

How to pick him Liu Qiyuan out of this case, and how to thoroughly investigate Wu Xun when he is picked out, and keep the political balance of the court from being destroyed?

There's only one way to do it...

That is, after Liu Qiyuan stood up and took the initiative to poke the cancer, he wanted to show his butt and show the emperor his handle. This handle was related to his life and death.

He was picked out, and a thorough investigation of this matter will not affect the great policy of the court, and he has given the emperor a big handle, and the emperor can rest assured that he will thoroughly investigate Wu Xun without having to deal with him. I have scruples, and I have scruples about them, former ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the best of both worlds.

Only in this way can he guarantee that Liu Qiyuan will stand safely in this storm, and it can also guarantee that the emperor can rest assured to him to a certain extent.

If not, it is obviously not a good thing for him, Liu Qiyuan, if this case continues to evolve.

If, as Lord Jingguo said, suppress this matter, not to mention the taboo of imperial power in the pit that day, just say that after suppressing this matter, then there will be shit on Liu Qiyuan's ass.

This is tantamount to him handing over his handle to officials and military generals all over the world. Whoever wants to play tricks in the future will only need to turn it over, or even don't need to turn it over.

After all, those martial artists who act recklessly will definitely not stop their crimes easily, and there will definitely be problems in the future.

As long as there is a problem, once the investigation continues, his rebellious son will be inseparable, and he, not to mention being implicated, will be charged with abuse of power to suppress the matter, which must be indispensable.

Or let some fool in the local area, like Zhang Huangyan, this kind of young and energetic official who was deliberately trained by the emperor, must be a lonely and upright person, and he will not look back when he hits the south wall!

If he was made to persevere in finding out any clues, and to reveal them without hesitation, to the bright side, then he would not be in charge of the case.

At this point, no matter how worried the emperor is about political balance, he will definitely deal with it seriously for the sake of the dignity of the law.

Or if some political opponent wants to play tricks on him, after finding out the clues, he directly exposes the matter to the public, then the next step must be a series of killing moves against him!

Splashing dirty water on him and breaking him down will be of great benefit to many people in the court!

After all, with his position as chief assistant, there are quite a few people staring at him!

Moreover, the position of Chief Assistant is not just the position of Chief Assistant.

Or in the end, the matter could not be ended, and the emperor was forced to end in person. Then, with the emperor's behavior style, if the butcher's knife was drawn, there would be no possibility of taking it back.

If you don't kill a person's head, don't turn over the table and just serve it in a pot, the emperor will never stop.

At that time, even if the emperor is scruples, he will have to spend the rest of his life in Liao Province.

Everything is very clear, Liu Qiyuan, if he wants to protect himself, he can only do this.

Either way, it is the most favorable choice.

It's just... this reason, or what reason to use, to make the emperor feel at ease with him? Be at ease with them, former ministers of the Ming Dynasty?

Chapter 642 Class Struggle 3000

The next day, the DPRK meeting.

Like every court meeting in the past, hundreds of officials lined up outside the palace gate and entered the palace with the sound of bells.

However, ever since the tax news arrived in the capital, Liu Hongtao, an unknown name in the past, has also been on the cusp.

What attracted the most attention was naturally not the so-called tax merits, but the identity of the youngest son of the chief minister of the cabinet.

The so-called merits of taxation, what exactly is the situation, for the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, this is undoubtedly a well-known thing.

It is precisely because I know it well that I naturally have a lot of peeping eyes on these cabinet ministers...

All this, Liu Qiyuan is naturally well aware of it. Although it has only been five or six years since the death of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the situation in the court has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past, the Duke of Qin assisted the government, but the foundation of the Duke of Qin was limited to the army, and the court and the world were all under the influence of civil servants and gentry.

With the continuous civil unrest, under the influence of internal or external wars, Qin Gong relied on his invincible military power, and his influence spread rapidly.

But even when Daheng established the country, Qin Gong's influence was far from enough to change the dynasty.

After Daheng established the country, the situation that fell that day clearly proved everything.

However, the Son of Heaven, forcibly used his invincible military power to suppress all dissatisfaction and fought this vast country.

The so-called winners and losers, these former officials of the Ming Dynasty, are also being eliminated bit by bit under the changing current situation.

Until now...

Those civil servants who used to wrestle with the emperor...

The influence has also been weakened to the extreme bit by bit.
