After Emperor Ning recovered from his illness, he put more emphasis on generals than ministers, and the people in the court knew it well.
This is also as it should be.
Back then when Yin Yan was here, he couldn't stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Huaijiang, and wanted to be inferior, let alone Yin Shuo, a junior
Even though many people in the court praised him for his prudence, modest temperament, and even better than his father, what is his seniority
What's more, Gu Huaijiang knelt down to save Emperor Ning—
Although he didn't kneel down, his intentions were genuine.
However, the court is not a battlefield, it should be the home court of civil servants, and many civil servants dare not speak out.
It depends on whether the prime minister dares to make such a move.
Probably not, he was young and his foundation in the court was not stable, and a person who immediately went to Guhou's mansion to plead guilty as soon as he took office, how could he dare to set his mind on Guhou's mansion
I didn't expect that not only did he move, but he was also very generous.
"The minister impeached the general Hou Gu Huaijiang, and privately mobilized the border guards during non-wartimes. His intentions were wrong. Moreover, Xikun concluded an agreement with Donglingluan, and the princess was on the way. This move is suspected of destroying the diplomatic relations between our two countries. His heart can be punished!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Standing out were two censors from Yushitai, one surnamed Xia and the other surnamed Dong, both old faces.
It is impossible for Emperor Ning to blatantly impeach Gu Huaijiang's family at the time when he is the most respected, without two important people standing up.
Du Yushi Ji Daogong stood in his original position, watching his nose, nose, nose and heart, as if he was not doing his own business and didn't open his mouth.
This matter has nothing to do with him, he is the chief official of Yushitai, but the two censors who impeached Gu Huaijiang never reported this matter to him.
If not themselves, then who gave them the courage
Ji Daogong took a quick glance at the top position of the civil servants, but didn't speak.
When Emperor Ning heard about the impeachment of Gu Huaijiang, he immediately became furious, thinking that someone in the court was jealous of his holy grace to Guhou's mansion, but when he heard about it, he became angry and frowned.
Secretly mobilizing the border guards is not a small crime. The two censors spoke clearly and clearly, and they didn't seem to frame them at will.
Emperor Ning's eyes fell on Gu Huaijiang, "What did Marquis Gu say?"
Gu Huaijiang was not surprised, he walked out steadily, cupped his hands and saluted, "Return to Your Majesty, this statement is nonsense, I don't know when I mobilized the border guards?"
Based on Emperor Ning's understanding of Gu Huaijiang, if he said no, he didn't have it.
"What courage!"
Emperor Ning said angrily: "As censors, although you two have the right to hear rumors and discuss matters, you can't impeach me in front of me for hearing any nonsense! Gu Hou is a dignified first-rank military marquis, and you dare to go to the court without verification. presumptuous?!"
The two censors immediately lowered their heads and cupped their hands, and after Emperor Ning finished speaking, they said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the two of us are not just hearsay, but have real evidence!"
Evidence
Gu Huaijiang's impeachment is already a shocking strange event, but they still say that there is evidence
If the evidence is solid, the crime of privately mobilizing the border guards is enough to kill everyone...
The second prince lowered his head, turned slightly and looked at Yin Shuo from the corner of his eyes.
Is this his so-called return gift
Bah, it's Yin Shuo who took advantage of Gu Huaijiang, what kind of courtesy is this to him
Xia Yushi took out a booklet from his sleeve, bowed and presented it, and Eunuch Gao took it from him and sent it to Emperor Ning's case.
Emperor Ning had long believed that it was the fault of these two censors, and impatiently opened the booklet for a look, his face immediately seemed to have knocked over a seasoning bottle, with both sweet and bitter.
He gave Gu Huaijiang a complicated look.
Inside the booklet was a scrapped military newspaper, Emperor Ning recognized that it was Gu Huaijiang's handwriting.
"Deploy 30,000 Gu family troops to garrison Zhuguan, and quickly arrive at Weizhou."
Gu Huaijiang saw Emperor Ning's eyes, the monarch and his ministers looked at each other for a long time, and the minister next to him nervously waited for the result.
After a while, Emperor Ning handed the booklet to Eunuch Gao, "Show it to Gu Hou."
Gu Huaijiang took the brochure and only glanced at it, with a smile on his lips.
Emperor Ning said: "Gu Hou, take a closer look, is this written by someone imitating your handwriting?"
Gu Huaijiang's answer was irrelevant, "Does your majesty remember that when the envoys from Xikun entered the capital last year, the military report in the minister's mansion was almost stolen? At that time, I discussed with your majesty a way to mix the truth and false information every time the military report was delivered. Order the soldiers to pass on separately?"
Emperor Ning thought for a while, and there was indeed such a thing, "I was worried that the real and fake military newspapers would be messed up, so you can say it's okay, there are marks on the real military newspapers that only people from the Gu family's army can recognize, and they can never be wrong."
Gu Huaijiang nodded, smiled and raised Zhang Tuo's military report, "This military report on the mobilization of border guards is indeed written by the minister himself. However, there is no unique mark on it. It is a piece of paper. It is a fake military report used by the minister to confuse the enemy."
He turned around and looked at the two censors calmly, "I don't want to confuse the enemy, but the two censors. I don't know where the two censors got the fake military report from my Gu family army?"
Fake
The expressions of the two censors changed drastically.
Yin Shuo frowned inaudibly, and secretly made a look at the two of them.
After all, the two censors had been immersed in the court for many years, and they soon calmed down again with someone to back them up.
"Gu Houye, you said that only the Gu family army can recognize your mark, so we naturally don't recognize it. So whether this military report is true or not, isn't it up to you, Gu Houye?"
