Chapter 1333 Impeachment
It was a sunny day in the capital of the gods.
Because it was still early, the sunlight was still a little soft at this moment, and it was reflected on the towering palace city, giving people a feeling that it seemed to condense the precipitation and vicissitudes of the ages.
However, in such a beautiful morning, at this moment, the center of the palace, the "highest" place in the whole world, was immersed in waves.
At this moment, Liu Guangzheng's face was as gloomy as water, looking at the ministers who lowered their heads and did not speak one by one. For a moment, Liu Guangzheng wanted to drag them all out and kill them all.
At this time, the war in Tianjueguan was urgent, and the traitors and traitors, a million troops came out of the southern wilderness, and they were about to trample the world. When this group of people in the court faced this problem, the first thing they thought of was not to solve the problem, but to solve the person who caused the problem.
Of course, the person they want to deal with is not Zhao Cheng. If it is Zhao Cheng, Liu Guangzheng will not be so angry. The person the ministers want to deal with is Sun Yuantai...
If this kind of thing happened in the world before Liu Guangzheng traveled through time, if it was made into a TV series, I am afraid that most of the audience would say it is fake. This kind of thing is just like the ancient puppet show before he traveled through time. The enemy is almost at the doorstep, and the male and female protagonists are still in love...
Although the two things are not the same thing, they are indeed similar.
Now the thieves are rampant and no one can control them, but the officials in the court are thinking of impeaching Sun Yuantai and impeaching him for his incompetence, so that the situation has fallen to this point. Impeaching the other party, one incompetent general is exhausted by the three armies.
This kind of thing, no matter how you look at it, seems to be a plot that only appears in a brain-dead drama.
The screenwriter cannot think of such a script without a decade of cerebral thrombosis.
But this kind of thing really happened.
This is also what Liu Guangzheng is angry about. He is not angry at the people on his side, who seem to have been given a halo of intelligence reduction, but at the people on his side, who are too smart. They are so smart that they are still playing tricks on him at this time.
The so-called impeachment of Sun Yuantai is just an excuse. There can't be any fools among these people. Even if they look stupid, they are the kind of wise but foolish. They can't be stupid and weak. They are all smart and masters of pretending to be confused.
They can't be unaware of the situation in the Southern Wilderness. It's already Sun Yuantai's strength to have such a situation now. If he changes the coach, I'm afraid that today's Jueguan will be lost.
And changing the coach on the battlefield is a taboo for military strategists.
Even if you have the upper hand, if you suddenly change the coach, it is possible that the situation will be reversed directly.
And in the situation where you are at a disadvantage, if you still make trouble at this time, it is pure courting death.
But these people still did it. Of course, they didn't want to punish Sun Yuantai with this, nor did they really want to change the general in the middle of the battle. Their real purpose was to impeach him as the emperor.
After all, Sun Yuantai was promoted by him, and he was the one who decided and entrusted him with important tasks.
As for the benefits of impeaching the emperor, it is naturally to limit the emperor's authority.
Since ancient times, although the emperor wants the minister to die, the minister must die, but this refers to individual ministers, not a group of ministers. If it rises to the group, it is an emperor and a group of ministers, relying on each other and restricting each other.
For every point of the emperor's power, the power of the ministers is weakened. Generally, the founding generation is also the peak of the emperor's power. When the throne is inherited, the emperors of the future will do it all their lives to compete with the emperor for power.
If the emperor has too much power and the ministers have no power, the world will be difficult to govern. A small matter can be sent to the emperor's desk for the emperor to decide. In this case, not only is the administration incompetent, but many times, by the time the emperor decides, the matter is over and everything is too late.
But if the ministers are too strong and the emperor is too weak, powerful ministers will be born, and even the nine gifts will be added, and then the emperor will directly usurp the throne.
Liu Guangzheng is very familiar with this kind of thing. He was usurped in the first week.
Therefore, a wise monarch can be incompetent, but he must be able to grasp the balance.
Which side is strong, find a way to weaken it.
As for what Liu Guangzheng is facing now, he has carried out reforms in the past few years and trained a powerful army. In terms of monarchy, it can be said to be temporary, reaching the peak of the recent generations of emperors.
Even in this situation, Liu Guangzheng is still further centralizing power.
Such things make the parties in the court smell the breath of danger.
Now, the ministers are using this incident to make trouble, but they don't really want to mess it up. For example, the place of Tianjueguan is a big whirlpool. Whoever goes there will either die in battle or be defeated, and there will be no good end.
If they really want to make Sun Yuantai fall into this pit, they have to find a way to fill it.
And what they are doing now, from their perspective, is not wrong.
A strong monarch and weak ministers is a very dangerous thing for ministers, which means that they may be easily abandoned.
In the past dynasties, it is not that there was no emperor who killed all the ministers of a dynasty in anger.
As for the chaos in the world after the killing, it does not exist at all. As long as the basic officials are not moved, and new people are promoted in one or two years, the world will still operate normally.
Of course, Liu Guangzheng is not an emperor who conquers the world, and it is impossible for him to have such authority, but it is also an instinct for ministers to steal power and protect themselves.
Unlike the silence at this moment, just a moment ago, the entire court seemed to have turned into a big market. Except for some people with clean backgrounds and no party marks promoted by Liu Guangzheng himself in the past few years, the rest of the people, although noisy, seemed to be divided into several factions, each with their own ideas, and seemed to be tit-for-tat with each other.
But that kind of tit-for-tat could only fool the confused emperor, but not Liu Guangzheng.
Therefore, Liu Guangzheng was furious, and even had a few people dragged out on the spot to chop off the few who were the least loyal in his supernatural sense.
Before, Liu Guangzheng thought that although these people were not very loyal, they were capable and could be used as tools.
But now, even with his mentality, he couldn't help his anger, so he simply dragged them out and chopped them off to vent his anger and kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
I told you to test me. If you dare to test my bottom line, I will let you see whether my knife is sharp or not...
"My Lords, since you say that Sun Yuantai is useless, I wonder which great sage has the confidence to kill the Zhao thieves and pacify the southern wilderness?!"
After a long silence, Liu Guangzheng finally spoke to break the silence in the field. Although his tone was very calm, everyone could feel the anger hidden in the seemingly calm words.
