Chapter 437 Loyal minister? Can loyal ministers go on strike at will? !
When Liu Zongmin said this, the powerful bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty were naturally very angry.
The first one who couldn't hold back the anger was Wu Qingbo and Li Chengming, who sweared on the spot: "What's the matter? They tricked our money into setting up a big coal mine, and now they quit the job, and they are still pretending to be sick! It is necessary! Isn’t it just a prince, besides, it doesn’t mean that he can’t be named, the meaning of the Holy Majesty is very clear, let’s talk about it when he comes back! Does he still have a court in his eyes?”
Liu Zongmin grabbed Li Chengming's lapel and pulled Li Chengming up on the spot. He was born as a low-level refugee, and he only recognized Zhang Gui, and he didn't pay much attention to the powerful bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty. Now that Li Chengming spoke so impolitely, he also He said directly and forcefully: "How many times do I have to tell you that our Duke is indeed ill. If you want him to come back so much, you should go ask him to come back!"
Li Chengming became a little flustered because his feet were off the ground: "You put it down first, you put it down first!"
Liu Zongmin put Li Chengming down first.
It was Bi Ziyan who came over at this time and said kindly: "We are willing to believe that Uncle Guo is really sick from overwork."
"Is it still fake? If you are asked to exterminate Jiannu and worry about a lot of trivial things, won't you become sick from overwork?"
Liu Zongmin still asked bluntly.
Bi Ziyan is not easy to argue with Liu Zongmin.
After all, he is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.
Therefore, Bi Ziyan just smiled and said: "It's natural! Everyone knows that Uncle Guo is a loyal minister, otherwise he would not refuse to be abdicated. Not only is he loyal, but he is also upright and prudent. Those who are lucky are not allowed to build a life for themselves However, the imperial decree has been issued, and uncle Guo, as a loyal minister, should not stay outside even if he is ill."
"Why, loyal ministers can't get sick! Can't loyal ministers be forgiven?"
Liu Zongmin still asked with a bad attitude, and said: "Don't think that you have given our father a hat of loyal minister, and he should be at your mercy! Even if you are sick, you are not allowed to raise it! If you really think that we The Duke should not be recovering from his illness, you can continue to find His Majesty to impeach our Duke instead of being stuck here."
"That's not what we mean! It's just that the uncle of another country, as a person who is loyal to the country, shouldn't ignore the government and abandon the court. Now that the slaves have been eliminated, and the first edition of "Apocalypse" is completed, he is needed for all aspects of Wenzhiwugong Host, if he doesn't come back, the government and the people will be in trouble!"
Bi Ziyan said.
"Grandpa Guo said that anyone in the world can do without him, and he is nothing special. What's more, the court is full of people, so there is no need for him."
Liu Zongmin replied.
"So, Uncle Guo really wants to retreat bravely?"
Fan Jingwen replied.
Liu Zongmin hurriedly denied it: "Uncle Guo never said that, and I don't know!"
At this moment, Zhang Guoji and Shang Jinghui, the family members of the Sui State Duke's Mansion, had already come out in a carriage, and at a glance, it was obvious that all the maids and servants came out together, otherwise they would not be able to see the side at a glance.
Seeing this, Liu Zongmin didn’t bother with these bureaucrats any more. He only gave Zhou Neng a wink, signaling him to maintain order, while he himself got on his horse, raised his trigger gun, and shouted to the assembled servants: “Let’s go!”
The bureaucrats immediately realized this.
Bi Ziyan couldn't help shouting first and asked: "Commander Liu, what's going on, the Duke's Mansion really wants to learn from Tao Zhugong and abandon the king and the country?!"
Liu Zongmin said: "Da Si Nong's words are too serious. The humble position is just to take the people in the mansion to Lushun to visit the sick under the order of the Duke!"
Bi Ziyan saw this and ran to the middle of the road to stop Liu Zongmin and others: "You are not allowed to leave! It is really a visit, why send so many people? Tell the truth, what is Uncle Zhang Guo doing?!"
Fan Jingwen also hurried to the middle of the road and said, "That's right! If you don't make it clear today, you won't be able to leave!"
"What's the point of this? Is the government of Suiguo going to have our house ransacked or wiped out for committing a crime! So that we can't even leave the capital now? Is there an imperial decree that can't let us leave the capital?!"
Liu Zongmin asked angrily.
"No! We just want Commander Liu to answer, is Uncle Guo really going to abandon his Taikang ancestors and the court?! Where does he put loyalty and filial piety?!"
Frankly speaking, he was born in Qingliu and he didn't like his relative Zhang Gui, but he also didn't want to see Zhang Gui so contemptuous of the court rules, he wouldn't come back if he didn't come back, and even took his family members away, deliberately acting as if he was reclusive. Ask about the state of the court, after all, he also knows that if there is no Zhang Guojiu in the Ming Dynasty, it is really impossible to play, and the bonuses of a lot of powerful bureaucrats cannot be honored, and many officials are waiting to be rewarded for their merits. accomplish.
So, Qian Xiangkun can only reprimand Zhang Gui with loyalty and filial piety.
He really didn't expect Zhang Gui to be so capricious, he wouldn't come back if he didn't come back, and he didn't even consider their feelings, or the feelings of the people in the world.
"Our father-in-law fell ill from overwork and is recuperating from his illness! How many times do I have to say that!"
Liu Zongmin answered impatiently.
Qian Xiangkun said: "Even if the uncle of another country is old (referring to death), he should return to his roots! Instead of recuperating outside!"
Liu Zongmin said: "The problem is that our Duke is not old yet."
Bi Ziyan said at this time: "Commander Liu, can you tell us exactly what Uncle Guo wants us to do before returning to Beijing?"
Liu Zongmin shook his head: "No comment."
As he spoke, Liu Zongmin gave Zhou Neng a wink.
Zhou Neng understood, so he waved his hand.
So, a number of Jin Yiwei came over and dragged these civil servants and generals outside.
Qian Xiangkun couldn't help shouting loudly: "What are you doing! You Jin Yiwei are court eagle dogs, not his Zhang Jiajia!"
Fan Jingwen also followed suit: "You! You! It's really unreasonable for you to do this!"
Zhou Neng said at this time: "If you want to impeach, even if you want to impeach, but you block the way here without authorization and affect the people in the capital. You can forcefully ask you to leave!"
As he spoke, Zhou Neng cupped his hands: "I'm offended!"
For a while, these bureaucrats were caught aside by Jin Yiwei.
And Liu Zongmin and the servants of Sui Guogong's mansion escorted the people of Suiguo's mansion to continue walking outside the capital.
But at this time, Wu Linzheng, who was in charge of the military department, had already rushed to Xuanwumen, and shouted at He Kegang, who was in charge of the city defense: "He Zongbing, don't let the family members of the Duke of Sui's mansion leave!"
He Kegang was shocked after hearing this: "Why? But His Majesty has a decree to copy the house of the uncle of the country?"
Wu Linzheng panted and waved his hands and said, "No! It's because Uncle Guo's family members are leaving Beijing for Lushun. It is very likely that Uncle Guo is leaving with his family members, abandoning the country and the common people, and going away freely! We can't allow this kind of abandonment of the country. The act of abandoning the king happened."
He Kegang understood after hearing this, and hurriedly shouted: "Seal the city gates and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving!"
While Liu Zongmin was here escorting Zhang Gui's family to Xuanwu Gate, he saw that He Kegang had sent soldiers to stop inside the Xuanwu Gate.
Liu Zongmin saw this and shouted: "Raise the gun!"
Thus, thousands of family members in the Zhang Mansion raised their guns.
He Kegang also had to raise his guns.
However, He Kegang's complexion changed drastically, and he couldn't help but look at Wu Linzheng: "Wu advises, what should I do now, really want to shoot at Duke Sui's people?"
Wu Linzheng remained silent.
Liu Zongmin scolded here first: "My surname is He, you ungrateful bastard, if it weren't for our Duke, what qualifications do you have to guard Xuanwu Gate here and become the commander-in-chief of the Guards? Like Zu Dashou, he drank the urine of thousands of people! Now, he wants to stop the family members of our Duke’s family from leaving, what do you mean! Let them shoot and kill our Duke’s family if they have the ability! Including the current head of state in the sedan chair! Then go to show your merits to His Majesty!"
He Kegang didn't dare, so he asked Wu Linzheng: "Wu admonishes, you have an idea! Are we really going to do this? Is it not good?! After all, there is no reason not to allow the family members of Uncle Guo to leave Beijing!"
