Urban Invincibility 9 Years

Lu Guangyao and Xu Youming jointly sang this double reed at the enlarged cabinet meeting.

On the surface, they used Kong Xiu's case as an excuse, but in fact they wanted to take this opportunity to clean up those disobedient officials in the six departments of the three provinces in Kyoto.

Of course, such a tactic is obviously giving Ouyang Changfeng a chance to test the reaction of Ouyang's lineage.

Regarding this, Ouyang Changfeng's face was ashen all the time during the banquet. If Chen Guozhong hadn't stopped him from the side, he might have already made a complaint at this time.

At least as far as the current situation is concerned, Liu Minglang, Minister of the Household Department, still has a great effect on his Ouyang family line.

If because of this incident, Ouyang's family lost the money pocket of the household department, then Ouyang's lineage would be even more sad in the days to come.

But then again, although Ouyang Changfeng knew the deep meaning of Lu Guangyao and Xu Youming's actions, under the current situation, even if he wanted to protect Liu Minglang, it would be very difficult for him.

After all, this is an enlarged meeting of the cabinet, representing the power and authority of the entire Eastern Empire.

In this meeting room, in front of the military and political leaders of all parties, to forcibly protect the next Minister of the Household Department who has indeed committed a crime, such a ridiculous thing in the world, let alone Xu Youming and Lu Guangyao would not Agreed, even the military boss at the other table would not agree.

This is why Chen Guozhong kept blocking Ouyang Changfeng.

In this way, the entire conference room passed through a terrifying silence.

Although everyone present had different attitudes towards Liu Minglang, the Minister of the Household Department, but at this moment of turmoil, no one dared to stand up and speak for Liu Minglang, and no one was willing to bear Lu Guangyao's words at this time. The anger of the chief minister of the cabinet.

At the same time, Lin Fan and Tian Qi, who were watching the "live broadcast" from Tianhai Longquan Villa, the atmosphere was not as tense as they were.

Even in front of Lin Fan, the girl Tian Qi would run to the rectangular mirror of mysterious light from time to time, then lightly raised her jade hand, and kept waving it on the dark yellow light.

"Strange, why is there no movement?"

"My lord, is your remote live broadcast monitoring device broken?"

As soon as Tian Qi's words of "children's words are boundless" came out, Lin Fan on the sofa almost spit out a mouthful of watermelon.

He gave Tianqi a look of disgust, and Lin Fan said speechlessly: "It's not that it's broken, but the guys in the cabinet are all lost in thought, now it depends on who among them can hold their breath and who can speak first Have you protected this poor Hubu Shangshu?"

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Tian Qi hopped back to his position again.

Immediately afterwards, she looked at Lin Fan with a puzzled face, and said strangely: "Bao? Why does this kind of scum want to protect?"

"You must know that he committed a felony enough to be shot ten times."

"If it is said that such criminals can get away with it, wouldn't the law of kingship become a joke?"

Although Tianqi's words are a little naive, the truth is actually there.

It's a pity that this little girl is still too young after all, and she doesn't know anything about the worldly affairs and the rules of the world in the cabinet.

In fact, to be honest, the reason why Lu Guangyao, who was in a rage, pushed this Liu Minglang to the forefront, but suddenly stopped talking, was waiting for someone to protect him.

This is also a common play hard to get trick.

However, Lu Guangyao still underestimated these participants in the cabinet.

Although they can't be called "experienced in hundreds of battles", they have rich experience.

After all, at this moment, even Ouyang Changfeng, the righteous master, could suppress the anger in his heart and keep silent, so it was even more impossible for them to speak out.

As for the eight major army leaders in the military, they even looked like they were just sitting back and watching the show.

After waiting for about three to five minutes, seeing that no one in the meeting could not help but speak, Lu Guangyao finally let out an inexplicable long sigh, and then his gaze swept across everyone present like a sharp arrow.

"Everyone, this Liu Minglang is one of my six ministers in Kyoto. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Overwatch Council have now verified the facts of his crime."

"Next, please tell me your opinion and how to deal with the former household secretary Liu Minglang?"

As soon as Lu Guangyao said this, he basically set the tone.

A sentence from the former Minister of the Household Department was to clearly tell everyone present that Liu Minglang could no longer sit in the position of the Minister of Household Department.

As for his other judgments, it depends on the decisions of the people present.

All of a sudden, everyone in the cabinet meeting room began to whisper.

"Old Lu, from my point of view, although Liu Minglang's crimes are not small, most of the crimes he committed were co-opted and corrupted by Kong Xiu's gang of villains. Moreover, he has served as Minister of the Ministry of Households for more than ten years, and he has worked hard without credit. , or give him a downgrade punishment."

In the conference room, a panicked voice sounded at this moment despite the pressure from all parties.

Obviously, this kind of discordant, even absurd suggestion is simply a big joke in the eyes of the rest of the people.

Downgrade?

Corruption, huge amounts of bribes, and even serious crimes such as extortion, can such a minister be demoted?This is obviously not in compliance with the regulations, and at the same time it is also not in line with the code of kingship.

"I don't agree with Lao Li's suggestion. Downgrade? Are you kidding about the king's law?"

"Furthermore, the code of kingship is above. How to punish Liu Minglang's crimes is naturally stipulated in the code. How can such a matter be discussed?"

"Yes, Liu Minglang's crimes should be dealt with in accordance with the law of kingship, and must not be tolerated. Otherwise, if this hole is opened, wouldn't the code of kingly law set up at the beginning of the establishment of the East become a joke. At that time, the people will How to say about us, how should we deal with ourselves?"

In this way, a wave of opposition rose up.

Apparently, those who held objections were from Lu Guangyao and Xu Youming.

And the so-called adherence to the law of kingship in their mouths was also indicated by Lu and Xu in advance.

Facing the situation where the wall was overturned and pushed by everyone, Ouyang Changfeng, who was sitting in his seat, never said a word, but now he held his old hands tightly.

After all, just letting him suffer this dark loss like this, he still feels somewhat disgusted by eating flies.

Hearing the bursts of righteous and indignant voices, in the end Lu Guangyao could only push the boat along in an extremely "helpless" way: "Well, since everyone thinks that this matter should be resolved in accordance with the provisions of the Law of Kings, then we should do it this way." Bar."

"Nie Guangrong, this case has been sent to your Ministry of Criminal Justice, and your Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Overwatch Council are ordered to jointly try it and convict you together."

"Also, the rest of the people involved in the case will also be judged by your Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Remember, old man, I don't want any ambiguity and deceit, I don't want any hypocrisy, I just want the truth."

"You are given a month to finish this case, can you do it?"

Faced with such a great opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious service, how could Nie Guangrong, who was scared to death just now, let it go.

Just patting his chest like this, Nie Guangrong assured with a firm voice: "Yes, we promise to complete the task."

With Nie Guangrong's reply, Lu Guangyao nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, since this matter has been handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial, the cabinet will not intervene anymore. Next, let's move on to the second topic."

"It's time for Lei Bei, the former commander-in-chief of the Tianhai Camp, to be promoted no matter his age, qualifications or meritorious service. Therefore, the cabinet approved the appeal of the Privy Council a few days ago, and ordered Lei Bei to go to the Privy Council of Kyoto to serve as a commander. He has the rank of general on the left."

"It's just that once Lei Bei left, the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Tianhai Camp became vacant."

"Originally, old man, I planned to promote Lei Hu, the former deputy commander of the three armies of Tianhai Camp, to the position of commander in chief."

"However, in view of Lei Hu's bravery and lack of strategy, it may be inappropriate for him to lead the three camps of Tianhai, Donghai, and Tongzhou alone."

"So today, old man, I also summoned the chiefs of the eight major armies and the judges of the Beijing-China Golden Military Law Council, hoping to hear your military's opinion on the new post of commander-in-chief of the Tianhai Camp?"

When Lu Guangyao made this statement, he directly skipped Ouyang Changfeng and Chen Guozhong who were eager to try, and handed over the right to discuss this issue to the military and the Privy Council.

In this regard, Ouyang Changfeng immediately frowned.

Apparently, after this old guy suffered a dark loss on the issue of Liu Minglang, the former household department, he always wanted to find a chance to make up for the grievance and anger in his heart.

It just so happened that he had longed for the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Tianhai Camp, and he had even drawn up a candidate.

However, just when he was going to talk about this matter and express his unique opinions, Lu Guangyao handed over the right to speak to others in front of him. Furious.

Of course, this is not the only thing that makes Ouyang Changfeng and Chen Guozhong feel resentful.

Because when Lu Guangyao was asking the military for his opinion on the position of the commander of the Tianhai Camp, several military leaders on the other table turned their eyes to Cai Changgong who was sitting in the middle.

Immediately afterwards, everyone nodded in unison.

In the end, they gave a candidate who left everyone present speechless and incomprehensible.

"Lu Guolao, in fact, the eight of us have discussed this issue before."

"Although the land of Tianhai seems to be an inconspicuous bronze-level city, its geographical location is very special."

"Further to the east is the big sky-blue sea, westward is the hinterland of our eastern plain, and northward to Xuzhou and Taiyuan counties, there is no danger to defend. Therefore, Tianhai Daying can almost be regarded as the first place on the southeast coast of my country except Jiaozhou Bay. barrier."

"Moreover, the position of the commander of the Tianhai camp is even higher than that of the commander of the bronze camp of the same level. He has the right to coordinate the deployment of the Donghai and Tongzhou camps."

"So the generals sitting here must have high moral prestige and rich experience in military struggle."

"To sum up all the above conditions, overall planning and judgment, I think there is only one person who is qualified for this task."

"Who?" Hearing the eloquent talk of the military leader, even Lu Guangyao suddenly narrowed his eyes, and blurted out the word who?

"The former commander of the Tianhai Camp was also the deputy commander of the Eastern Border Army, Lei Ting."

As soon as the military leader said this, the entire conference room was in an uproar.
