Chapter 460: Chapter 460: New Pattern 1

The time is quiet, just over two months, and I don't realize that summer is about to enter.

For more than two months, the "coastal war" that took place in the south of the Fertile Continent and the Emerald Sea has spread to the east of the Kunlun Continent.

This coastal war is not only a collision of steel warships, but also a collision between two holy places—and this collision has not ended yet.

In Zhang Hao's words, the two sides are now in a state of cold war.

Between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, the face is almost torn apart. But because of various scruples, there is still a little restraint between everyone.

The collision and confrontation between the two holy places naturally spread slowly; and when it comes to this confrontation, one has to talk about the most influential coastal war, especially the scene of the confrontation between steel warships.

The news spread along with the masters of trade and mobility, and of course there were some intelligence systems and even specialized intelligence agencies.

No, the news spread to the "Liang Dynasty" in the east of Kunlun Continent.

In the evening of this day, the new emperor of the Liang Dynasty once again found Zeng Shiming, the political adviser. After seeing Zeng Shiming, the emperor first asked about the news of the coastal war from the west, and finally said: "What I am most concerned about is not the coastal war, nor the battle for the Holy Land. What I am most concerned about is the steel battleship!

According to the video jade slips sent back from the West, I think we should also have this kind of steel warship. In this way, we can attack the "tiger side" in the north from the sea. At least block their coastline so they can't get into the sea! "

The new emperor still has some brains. Although Zhu Kang commented on him as 'frivolous', he was still a dragon.

Zeng Shiming immediately said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a person named Tang Chenying in Fengming Villa. He just returned from the West recently, and it is said that he has taken in a disciple from the West. Maybe we can ask them."

"Fengming Mountain Villa...is the family home of Lao Jiuxin's concubine?" The emperor frowned slightly, he didn't like that kind of mountain villa, hidden family sects and so on.

Zeng Shiming should be.

The emperor thought for a while, and finally said: "This matter is entrusted to you, you can go to Tang Chenying to understand the situation."

After a short pause, the emperor's tone became a little serious, "I asked you to come today, and there is one more important thing. It's been three months, why is this old fellow Zhu Kang still in court! Still pointing fingers at me!"

The Emperor's hatred for Zhu Kang cannot be washed away by all the water in the world. This bastard actually said in front of his mother that he was 'King Jian is frivolous and cannot be king'! It's fine if I don't sit on the throne, but since I'm on the throne, hehe...

But it's been three months, why hasn't there been any movement? Moreover, Zhu Kang's gesticulation in the court recently made the emperor even more dissatisfied and even murderous.

Having said that, Zhu Kang's influence is too great, which has seriously affected the majesty of the emperor. Such an old guy must be taken down. However, because of Zhu Kang's great influence, the emperor didn't know how to do it, so he had to hand it over to Zeng Shiming.

Zeng Shiming is a clever man, once he heard the emperor's tone, he knew that the emperor had reached the limit of his patience. That said, the opportunity is ripe!

Zeng Shiming smiled complacently, what he wanted was His Majesty's attitude - in this way, he could beat Zhu Kang to death with one stroke, and at the same time make himself 'simple in the emperor's heart'!

Thinking a lot, but without the slightest hesitation, Zeng Shiming immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have been dealing with this matter for the past three months, and the results will be available tomorrow morning.

Zhu Kang's forces are intertwined. If you want to pull Zhu Kang out, you must pull out the roots and others in one fell swoop. Although I have done a lot of work, I am afraid that there will still be some small changes in the morning court tomorrow. At that time, please rest assured, Your Majesty, everything is under control. "

The emperor's expression turned from anger to joy: "Understood. You go, tomorrow morning, I want to see Zhu Kang leave the imperial capital in disgrace!"

Zeng Shiming also said: "Your Majesty, in view of Zhu Kang's great influence, if Zhu Kang is directly dismissed, no matter how we deal with it, there will still be some voices of dissatisfaction. After all, Zhu Kang's influence is too great, we can pull out his party members, But it is impossible for us to clean up the scholastics in the country.

Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue an edict tomorrow morning to seek the virtuous. "

When the emperor heard it, he immediately said excitedly: "It's easy, I will issue an edict right away."

Zeng Shiming's eyes flickered slightly, Your Majesty, you are too impatient and a little jumpy, this matter will be settled tomorrow morning. Sure enough, Zhu Kang's vision is still there, but it's a pity...too blunt.

Zeng Shiming persuaded the emperor for a while, and the emperor finally accepted it slowly - the effect will be better tomorrow morning; as soon as the morning court starts, he will issue an edict to seek talents. Then, we unplug Zhu Kang again!

The time came to the next morning in a blink of an eye. In the court hall, before the emperor arrived, Zeng Shiming stood with Zhu Kang, and suddenly turned to ask Zhu Kang: "Old Zhu, I see that you have been taking Gao Dashang with you recently. ?”

A smile appeared on Zhu Kang's face immediately: "Don't look at him as young, but he does things in an orderly and calm manner. He has the talent of a general!"

Zeng Shiming showed envy on his face: "Speaking of which, he is actually your closed disciple, right?"

"Almost!" The smile on Zhu Kang's face became brighter. There are successors!

But Zeng Shiming slowly took out a memorial from his pocket: "Old Zhu, look, this is Gao Shang's memorial. It was three months ago.

For the past three months, I have been investigating what was said in the memorial. After three months of investigation, I have basically confirmed it. "

Zhu Kang's complexion changed, and he took a look at the memorial. Looking at the twenty major crimes, his face paled instantly, his heart was struck by lightning, his body was shaking, and he suddenly roared: "How dare you do this, beast!"

After all, he turned around and slapped Gao Shang.

Gao Gaoshang was already prepared, he ducked as soon as he lowered his head, and then silently stood behind Zeng Shiming.

Zhu Kang wanted to chase him again, but Zeng Shiming stopped him with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Old Zhu, bring me the memorial. Let me show you, it's a little unreasonable."

The veins in Zhu Kang's arm bulged, but in the end he still had to throw the memorial back to Zeng Shiming's chest; then, the old man glared at Gao Shang, "Why?!"

Gao Dashang sighed leisurely: "Teacher, you taught me that as an official, you should act like an emperor and serve the common people, and you should not cherish feathers and care about personal gains and losses.

He also said: Where righteousness lies, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go there!

Teacher, no one can slander your conduct, your moral character, your contribution, etc. However, just because you are not at fault does not mean that those around you are not at fault.

Teacher, you are so great that gentlemen and villains gather around you. And because of your influence, neither the Supervision Department nor the Officials Department dare to confront you head-on. As a result, the current court hall is already full of haze.

Teacher, look at him. Shangshu Zuo Pushe, who had been jealous with others in the brothel a few years ago and killed the diva, but the matter was left alone. Why, because everyone knows that he is your best friend.

Teacher, look at him again, Doctor You Jianyi, a fourth-rank official, dared to snatch a third-rank official, Dr. Zuo Guanglu's concubine just last month, just because of her beauty!

Teacher, how can a fourth-rank official have the guts to snatch the concubine of a third-rank official?

Also, last year's imperial examination, as long as the candidates were from your side, they were all put into the examination room separately. I know this is not what you meant, teacher, but... this subordinate did just that!

Teacher... for the sake of this country, disciple... can only ask the teacher to withdraw from the court.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, teacher..."

As Gao Dashang said, he was about to kneel down to Zhu Kang. But Zeng Shiming grabbed him, "You did the right thing, why did you kneel! A man is ashamed of the country at the top and all the people at the bottom, so there is nothing wrong with it!"

Then, Zeng Shiming shouted: "As officials, we should put the country first, the people first, and your Majesty first. As for personal grievances, personal honor and disgrace, and even self-interest, we should disregard them!

What Gao Dashang did is the real loyalty and filial piety! "

In the hall, it was quiet for a while.

But soon the officials on Zeng Shiming's side applauded.

"Okay! Well said!" At the back of the main hall, the door curtain was lifted, and the emperor walked slowly - he had actually been listening to the corner of the wall for a long time.

A strange light flashed from the corner of Zeng Shiming's eyes—an emperor actually listened to the corner of the wall? ! But forget it, such an emperor should get along better (fool)!

In the following process, there was no twists and turns. The emperor first issued an edict to seek talents, and the words were very good: Advice is welcome, good ones are accepted and rewarded, and bad ones are not punished; also, talents are welcome to be recommended, and talents pass the inspection. , The recommender will be rewarded heavily, and there will be no punishment for failure.

Then came Zhu Kang, who was powerless to refute the 20 major crimes with solid evidence. Forming a party for private interests, blocking the way of speech, promoting cronies... A series of crimes directly killed Zhu Kang, and many officials were impeached by the way!

For this day, Zeng Shiming prepared for three months, so that Zhu Kang had no power to fight back. There are countless people who have been demoted, dismissed from office, and even questioned.

Zhu Kang was deprived of all titles and honors and sent back to his hometown. When the old man left the hall, he met Gao Gaoshang's eyes - tearful!

In the end, Zhu Kang laughed and left: "Gao Gaoshang, at this moment, I have to admit that you are my most proud student!"

Then, he gritted his teeth and said: "The blue is better than the blue!"

In the afternoon, after the situation in the court had completely spread in the imperial capital, the entire imperial capital was in an uproar. The news spread around at an unimaginable speed.

Youdao is the emperor and the courtiers. After more than three months after he ascended the throne, the new emperor finally attacked the court, and wiped out the backbone of the previous court, Zhu Kang and other subordinates from top to bottom in one breath.

In addition to the wall falling and everyone pushing, I don't know how many people fell into the sky prison, and what awaited them would be a tragic fate.

In the evening, Gao Dashang came to the south of the city wearing a new simple uniform of "Shenzhi Zhengshi", and politely (arrogantly) visited Tang Chenying, but Tang Nuxia didn't open the door.
