Chapter two hundred and seventy sixth: turn defeat into victory
Chen Zhengtai's voice was like a loud bell, which made the people in the tent look speechless.
If Chen Zhengtai had made such a high argument in the past, someone would definitely have to refute it.
But... they saw all this with their own eyes.
Even if they can have no conscience and deny what happened here, don’t forget that they were all indignant just now. They all said that the common people could not survive, and they all said that Yangzhou was simply hell on earth.
It is impossible that Yangzhou has become Xia Pi. This is a commoner who cannot survive and has suddenly become a peaceful and prosperous person.
This impeachment memorial is still in the hands of Li Shimin.
What's more, everyone has compassion. It is precisely because many people have carefully investigated and visited and really talked with the common people. To be honest... If they don't have feelings, it makes no sense.
Perhaps... from their own standpoint, they really don't want to touch anything, but, from a conscience, the things they witnessed with their own eyes really shocked them.
This is human nature. There are both despicable and noble in human nature. These two may not be completely opposite, and may even be in the same person.
Wang Jin is such a person. On the one hand, he hates Chen Zhengtai to target the aristocratic races in Yangzhou, but on the other hand, he also has sympathy and always feels that the world should not be like this.
After Chen Zhengtai said that, he continued, "What kind of life are people living here? I think everyone has seen it. I dare to ask everyone, how can the princes bear it when they see these hungry people? Who dares to deny that those stolen officials who harm the people, those aristocratic families who collude with them, are they really not guilty? This is all our responsibility. Where does our food and clothing come from? Doesn't it come from the cultivation and textiles of these ordinary people? And
Now, today I have seen these villains with my own eyes, but I am still indifferent and do not make any changes. So, what is the difference between our Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties that are thousands of miles away? Could it be that one day, refugees are everywhere, forcing these villains to an unparalleled level, and the villains have become bandits. There are more and more bandits, and the momentum is huge, gathering tens of thousands of people. By then, these ragged hungry men were killed.
Did you regret it at that time? The rise and fall of the dynasty, and how many living precedents are right in front of you. Can you still close your eyes, cover your ears, and disdain? Mentor, if students don’t talk about things like loving the people like their children, what are students talking about is personal feelings, what are the personal feelings? It is the world of the Li Tang Dynasty, and the rise and fall of my Chen family. If it really reaches that point, will it be any benefit to the Tang Dynasty royal family? Then, once the Sima family is destroyed, what is the situation today? What is the situation of the Yang family in the Great Sui Dynasty? Family, the world is the family. Since the world is in the hands of one family, then the honor and disgrace of the world are closely related to the honor and disgrace of the teacher and the family. Everyone here, even including students, can you still invite Zhang, King, Zhao, Li, any family to do the world, and still have a position to lose. Can the Li family in the Zong family bow down to the surrender?"
"Chen Zhengtai, don't talk nonsense." Someone took the opportunity to scold Chen Zhengtai, who was a little overwhelmed by what Chen Zhengtai said.
Chen Zhengtai held his head up and looked at the minister in front of him. The man was stared at by Chen Zhengtai's eyes and was suddenly discouraged. He heard Chen Zhengtai's voice increase a little, and he asked sternly: "Is this nonsense? Is it an alarmist? You are wrong. This is the real righteousness. The so-called honest advice is not to correct a few words of such a small country that the king and father did in the harem, but should make suggestions from the country to perish. Do you think what I, Chen Zhengtai, said is wrong, but are you blind? If you are not blind, then leave this big tent to see. If you are not deaf, can you listen to the impeachment of the masters and what they said? They can't see the suffering of these people, and they want to eat my Chen meat raw, and they want to kill my Chen family, so that... can calm the anger of the people."
"Very good." Chen Zhengtai nodded and continued, "The Lords are so righteous for the sake of the country. It can be seen that all the Lords in the court are people who know right and wrong. Why don't you know right and wrong? Now, everyone has discovered that this is not Yangzhou, but Xia Pi. So, should you eat the meat of the local governor and county magistrate raw and kill their whole family? There is also the Lu family who colluded with him. Is this Yangzhou so I have to hold my Chen family accountable? If this is Xia Pi, shouldn't we hold what happened here?"
"Mr.," Chen Zhengtai said sternly: "I beg my teacher to investigate the matter in Xia Pi. How do you ask the Chen family to be investigated during the impeachment? How do you pursue the officials of Xia Pi and the Lu family? What's more... there is only one aristocratic clan like Lu in the states in the world? It's terrible that each family has reached such a state that many people have been killed for the sake of small profits."
Chen Zhengtai paused, and then took out a memorial from his sleeve: "In fact, there is also an impeachment here for the students. This impeachment is precisely how the officials from Xia Pi colluded with aristocratic families when they are idle. Regarding impeachment, in fact, the masters who have just arrived first and understand the situation in Shanyang County are only superficial. Many evidence of crimes have not been dug out yet, but here... it is different. These are all real evidence of crimes that students secretly collect. There are as many as 57 crimes listed in it, from the governor, to the county magistrate, to several aristocratic families in Xia Pi. People have witnessed physical evidence, and the students have cleared it clearly. After their mentors have seen it, they ordered the Department to sever the severance."
After hearing this, Wen Ji, the magistrate of Shanyang County, almost fainted.
You said I offended you. You asked someone to get off the boat in Shanyang County first, so that my county magistrate could not come to Taiwan. You, the dignified Yangzhou governor, are you full and full, so why are you doing to me? Did you eat your rice?
At this time, Wen Ji was so scared that he was out of his mind and said, "I'm wronged!"
"Stop!" Li Shimin was furious.
And the others looked at each other.
This Yangzhou governor is really full and has nothing to do, and he is too idle.
But many people are also alert.
Chen Zhengtai came to Yangzhou to investigate Xia Pi. It was obviously planned for a long time. So from another perspective, would this guy have secretly investigated other people?
Is this person... maybe me?
Thinking about it carefully is extremely scary.
There are many people here who are censors, and they are even more frightened because they are the ones who capture the situation, report on the news, and impeach people when they see them. But the Yangzhou governor in front of him seems to be teaching everyone how to impeach people.
Li Shimin had a gloomy face: "Cook it."
Zhang Qian took Chen Zhengtai's memorial, and Li Shimin took the memorial and looked at it, and was furious again.
Yes, what are the evidences of the crimes in front of you? At least judging from what is said in this memorial, it is really a waste of money. The more you look at it, Li Shimin became more and more shocked. The administration was so bad that he sneered: "Okay, it's very good. Come on, take down the magistrate of Shanyang first, ask what else from him, and let them be punished. Oh, it's time to prevent them from being anxious, but..."
Li Shimin frowned and then smiled relievedly: "If they want to be anxious, they will be anxious. If they are punished, only one person will be investigated. If they want to learn from Wu Ming's rebellion, then it's okay to kill hundreds more people. Although Zhengtai is the governor of Yangzhou, if he sees things that harm the people, how can he not repay them? The evidence of the crimes listed are all very detailed, good, good, come... Then Lu's mansion was surrounded first, and many things here are related to the collusion between the Lu family and the government. The government is a public instrument, how can the Lu family be manipulated?"
Chen Zhengtai just said something to Li Shimin's thoughts.
All the aristocratic clans in the world have a way out, but Li Shimin does not.
Today, Chen Zhengtai directly expressed his interests and reported the people from Xia Pi. Looking at the extent to which these officials impeached Chen Zhengtai, in a sense, Chen's family had no way out.
This is the real person who is intimate.
Hadn't seen him for several months, this guy... was more decisive than when he was in Chang'an. If he had known that this guy could stand alone, he would have let him go.
Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai with relief, then glanced at the ministers: "What else do you have to say? Or, does anyone want to ask for love?"
Everyone was silent. His Majesty said everything he should say. What else can he say?
Just now, everyone was rushing to impeach the governor of Yangzhou because of the Luhua Village incident. Now, this is Xia Pi, so they deserve the bad luck of Xia Pi.
This Chen Zhengtai really has no favors at all.
So everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.
"I have a word." Wang Jin couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, I have seen everything that happened in Luhua Village, but... I often arrest the county magistrate and even surrounded the Lu family. This... is not reasonable in terms of the matter."
Wude Rule is a law compiled during the Wude period. This law was revised based on the "Kaihuang Rule" of the Sui Dynasty. The basic content is similar to the "Kaihuang Rule". It was ordered by Emperor Wen of Sui to cultivate Gao Bing and others. Gao Bing came from the Gao clan of Bohai. This Gao clan originated from the Gao clan of Bohai County, which started from the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is known as "the world is higher than the Bohai Sea" and is also a famous clan among famous families. Therefore, there are many laws and regulations that favor aristocratic clans in the code.
Of course, it is not that Gao Yang is biased, but that this is the case in the world. Gao Yang is just to formulate a code according to the wishes of Emperor Wen of Sui. In order to win the support of the aristocratic race, there are naturally too many biases.
Li Shimin smiled: "Don't worry, I just surrounded the mansion first, afraid that people would run away. This case should be investigated to the end. If it is indeed innocent, I will not make things difficult for you."
Wang Jin was speechless for a moment, and he couldn't help but say, "Yangzhou Governor Chen Zhengtai wants to suppress the high sect everywhere. Doing this is really beneficial to the world. Chen Zhengtai is originally from the high sect and is a famous sect. Is it really good for Chen Zhengtai's character? It's just that he does this? In my opinion, it's just that Chen Zhengtai has put all the blame on the high sect. Most of the aristocratic families in the world are inherited from poetry and books, and are well-educated. Although he is sometimes unworthy, he cannot be beaten to death."
Li Shimin was speechless for a long time.
Chen Zhengtai said: "I am from the High School. How could I have any discrimination against the High School? I just violate the law and I should just punish it. Isn't this supposed to be? As for whether suppressing illegal aristocratic clans is good for the world, Yangzhou is right in front of you, you can just go and see it yourself."
Wang Jin was speechless for a moment, and then sneered: "Oh, I actually forgot that in Governor Chen's heart, Governor Chen's governance of Yangzhou is very effective. So, I want to see it..."
He sneered, looking disdainful.
Many people whispered and cheered up again.
Yes, if you pick the faults of Xia Pi, we pick the faults of you. The people of Xia Pi are in such trouble. You have just suffered a disaster in Yangzhou and have encountered war disasters again. If you want to find some faults, you are not easy to catch.
"I will listen to you." Chen Zhengtai responded to Wang Jin.
Wang Jin was annoyed for a moment: "It's just... who knows whether you, Chen Zhengtai, deliberately cheated in order to deal with Your Majesty's priest's deity. If you want to see the actual situation, I need to choose it."
Chen Zhengtai then said, "Then please go to Yangzhou Map. Wherever Brother Wang pointed, we will go."
Chen Zhengtai made such a bold statement.
It really made everyone full of fighting spirit.
At this time, it would be unreasonable to say that the world does not change anything.
However, no one was willing to change in the direction of Chen Zhengtai.
After all, you can't cut everyone's meat to achieve your new system, right? Can't you use other solutions?
Yangzhou has implemented a new system. Although it is not long before, as long as the fault is found, the new policy of Yangzhou will naturally become a joke.
Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai and thought to himself that Zhengtai still couldn't stand being provocative. These people are all human spirits. As expected, once you provoke you, you will be fooled.
Wang Jin had already started to yell at the map to get the map, and the rest of the people also started to make a fuss. So the eunuchs took the map to Yangzhou. Wang Jin sneered at Chen Zhengtai, then lowered his head, and his eyes fell on Gaoyou County. Gaoyou County was the most severely affected by the disaster before, and the military disaster mainly affected here. Logically speaking, it is afraid that it would not be so easy to recover here.
He didn't believe it. This is a place in Gaoyou, which is flooded and military disasters, and it would be worse than this Luhua Village.
Taking a deep breath, he casually pointed to a place called Shangtouzhuang: "It's here, I should go there day and night, and no one is allowed to send a message. How about rushing here at noon tomorrow?"
Li Shimin frowned, as if he had guessed Wang Jin's thoughts.
Before Chen Zhengtai could speak, the others suddenly realized and couldn't help but praise Wang Jincong, and they all shouted: "It's so good, the most fair, is Governor Chen dared?"
"Why don't you dare!" Chen Zhengtai answered neatly.
