Chapter 877: The Great Chaos in the Western Regions Fourteen
He Zhongkai said coldly: "Lu Zhongxun, you must speak with reason and evidence. This is the court, and all civil and military officials and the emperor are here. You must be responsible for what you say."
The potential meaning of He Zhongkai's words is to warn Lu Zhongxun that this is the court. If you do something bad and make a big deal, you can't stop it at that time, even if you ruin me, you will not be able to take it.
Lu Zhongxun said indifferently: "The prime minister is a major weapon for the country. It can not only prosper and also lose the country. When the minister finds a problem, he raises it in person. What's wrong with it?"
Chen Hu also spoke out: "Lord Lu just asked for an inquiry. If the two prime ministers can explain it clearly, then there will naturally be nothing."
Zhao Xun glanced at Chen Hu, reacted a little, and then opened Lu Zhongxun's memorial and read it. Sure enough, although the content was written in very detailed, there was no evidence. Since there was no evidence, the two sides said it.
He Zhongkai suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu said that I and Prime Minister Zheng are cliques, forming cliques for personal gain, cracking down on court officials, and eliminating dissidents. I don't know where this crime comes from?"
"As we all know, the two of He Prime Minister and Zheng Prime Minister have excellent personal relationships. The allocation and promotion of officials from the Ministry of Revenue can be easily approved by the Ministry of Personnel. Conversely, the annual yamen calculation of the Ministry of Personnel is much more than that of other departments. It is also reported that you two have become sworn brothers in their early years. Taizu has the system and the same clan has the same clan and is the only prime minister. Since you are brothers, how can you be prime ministers at the same time?"
Lu Zhongxun continued to say: "In the previous major corruption case of Ministry of Revenue, the main culprit He Ming-tung, he is the nephew of your Prime Minister He and his family are the same. He is so close that after the incident, he is not aware of it, and I am afraid that it is a bit unreasonable. Therefore, He Ming-tung's incident is to blame for He Ming-tung."
"As far as I know, after the corruption case of the Ministry of Revenue, Prime Minister He tried every means to stop him and blamed Minister Sheng. Now Minister Sheng is struggling in the Ministry of Revenue and is unable to take charge of the daily affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. Most of the power he deserves has been deprived. Moreover, today, the Ministry of Personnel gave Sheng Shilang the worst. This is not a blow to court officials and exclude dissidents. What is it?"
Xiao Hui stood up and spoke at this time.
Zheng Renjie snatched in front of He Zhongkai and said, "The swornship is definitely a false thing. It is something that martial artists like to do. We literati are intimate and disdainful of those exaggerated things. As for the official evaluation this year, the worst was given to Mr. Sheng. He was the corruption case of the Ministry of Revenue. Mr. Sheng used excessive punishment, resulting in the five officials who died one after another before the case was finalized. Merit is merit and fault is a fault. In this matter, Mr. Sheng is unforgivable, so the Ministry of Personnel gave the worst in evaluation. Both public and private are all right, and there is absolutely no problem."
Lu Zhongxun smiled and didn't speak when Zheng Renjie's explanation.
He Zhongkai looked at Lu Zhongxun and asked coldly: "What else does Mr. Lu have to ask?"
Lu Zhongxun said indifferently: "I heard that if an official wants to enter He Xiangguo's house, he doesn't even think about it without 300 taels of silver. I wonder if this matter is true?"
He Zhongkai browed and said in a deep voice: "This matter is simply nonsense. As the prime minister of the current dynasty, how could I do such a dirty thing? Besides, my He family is also a family of officials and has good family wealth. There is no such reason for losing one's reputation for just 300 taels of silver."
Zhao Xun said at this time: "Mr. Lu, what else do you have?"
"No more, I just received some information, so I came out to inquire, but I had no other intention."
Lu Zhongxun smiled, bowed, and then stepped down.
Xiao Hui and Chen Hu also retreated one after another without saying anything.
Zhao Xun frowned and looked at them. What do these people want to do after doing this?
Seeing Lu Zhongxun and others downplaying it, He Zhongkai poured dirty water on himself, so he let it go, and didn't take it seriously at all. He didn't take it seriously. He suddenly became furious in his heart. Just as he was about to have an attack, Zheng Renjie, who was standing beside him, shook his head, and whispered: "Brother He, this is not a place for argument. If we fight, we can only suffer losses. Forget it, we will make a decision after the court is dispersed."
He Zhongkai gritted his teeth and had to sit down.
Things come quickly and go quickly. The officials present originally thought that they would encounter a wonderful political battle today, but who would have thought that Lu Zhongxun stood up like a fool and sent a nerve, and then there was no following text, just like writing a couplet, only the first couplet, but no second couplet.
Today's incident came very suddenly, and there was no sign of any sign. None of the officials who could enter here were simple. Before we figured out the reason, the best way was to stand aside and watch quietly. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, most of the officials seemed very quiet, but from their expressions, it can be seen that deep in their hearts at this moment, they were probably quite lively and exciting.
The Prime Minister of the Court, the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall does not necessarily have to be present. The specific content of the Court meeting must have been discussed in the Political Affairs Hall in advance. Therefore, before the Court meeting, the Prime Minister actually knew what the entire Court meeting was going to discuss. If it had nothing to do with them, or if the emperor notified in advance or major state affairs, in addition, the Prime Minister of the Court meeting, the Prime Minister may choose not to come and do his own thing in the department's office.
There were only three of the nine prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall today. Apart from Zheng Renjie and He Zhongkai, only Li Xun came. Because today's court meeting was mainly about discussing disaster relief in Henan, and Shi Hu's issue. However, this court meeting, Shi Hu's issue did not involve military aspects. It was mainly about discussing the supply of materials to the Jiangnan region, Kou Xiong, Zhao Bai'an and others, as well as the allocation of disaster relief food in Henan.
Regarding Shi Hu's final decision, whether to focus on military, appeasement as the supplement, or appeasement as the supplement, military as the supplement, there was a lot of controversy among the ministers and the opinions were not unified. This was mainly because the Fengjing Imperial Army had a rebellion, and the number of troops dropped sharply to less than 100,000. The financial problems of the court, although it improved after a large amount of material dispatch in the Western Regions, it was immediately launched, which was not as good as it was. Once it fought with Shi Hu, the war could not be ended in a short time. The fundamental financial support of the court was the court's financial support.
It will not last long, and if the situation of the war is unfavorable and the local governors are unwilling to help, the court can only transfer troops from Hedong, Huaibei and other places. However, the large-scale riots on Henan Road have just been quelled, and the situation is not stable. The local army in Huaibei area is not strong in combat and not many people. Therefore, there are many things and too many considerations. Not only Zhao Xun is concerned, but many ministers are the same. Moreover, what are their thoughts in ministers who agree and oppose them? Who can know?
