Seeing Cao Yingkui's righteous and stern words, Lin Yanchao was not surprised, but laughed loudly.

Cao Yingkui quietly tugged the piece into his sleeve and said, "Lin Sima, why are you laughing?" ”

Lin Yanchao looked at Cao Yingkui, pointed to the music in his sleeve and said, "Jin Wu envoy, if you don't want to move, why do you take Lin Mou's music chapter?" ”

Cao Yingkui was stunned and said: "Lin Sima is also a minister of the imperial court, and it is his duty to hand over the chapter. As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, this official is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and if he does not submit this recital, he will be heavily reprimanded by His Majesty. But if you want to order the official to send this piece to the palace before Lord Duxian, don't think about it. ”

"This official withheld your concert, and he didn't mean not to send it."

Lin Yanchao nodded when he heard this: "Jin Wu envoy, what he said is exactly what he said, whether to pay it is one thing, and when to hand it over is another thing, it can be attacked, and it can be defended when it is retreated, and it is really clever not to offend the constitution of the capital, and not to lose one's duty!" ”

Cao Yingkui was told by Lin Yanchao and acquiesced with a cold face.

Lin Yanchao said again: "But in fact, Jin Wu envoy, my thoughts are the same as yours, when this piece is handed over to the Son of Heaven, this is not Lin's business, but whether to hand it over or not is Lin's responsibility." ”

Cao Yingkui didn't know what Lin Yanchao was referring to, and when he heard it, he said: "Sima Lin, this official doesn't understand what you mean. ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Jin Wu envoy, do you think that even if Duxian's chapter is handed over to the Son of Heaven, these one hundred and twenty-five corrupt officials and corrupt officials can be rectified?" ”

Cao Yingkui pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "It's difficult! ”

Lin Yanchao said: "It's not that it's difficult, but it's not a certainty, Lin also has the heart to bring these corrupt officials to justice, but he won't do anything that is unsuccessful." It's a pity that if Du Xian could have listened to Lin's words at the beginning, and only returned the river yamen to the officials of the German government for questioning, then the lower officials would not say a word, and everything would be based on Du Xian.

"But now, if I attach my name to the Metropolitan Constitution, not only will it be useless, but I will also be in the same situation as the Metropolitan Constitution in the future!"

When Cao Yingkui heard this, his face showed a look of pathos, and then said: "Outsiders say that Lin Sima's merit is actually the study of things and benefits, and his words are not bad at all. Before anything was done, Lin Sima thought it must not be done? Besides, even if it doesn't work out, I can be worthy of the people and conscience with a clear conscience. ”

Syllable!

Lin Yanchao raised his hand and clapped his hands and said, "Well said, Jin Wu is really a cheap minister, no wonder His Majesty has such trust." It's just that Lin took the liberty to ask, is the Jin Wu envoy attached to the name of the Jinwu envoy on the recital of this Duxian? ”

Cao Yingkui said: "I am ordered by the Holy Order, and I have the responsibility of supervision, of course, I will attach my name to the aftermath to truthfully play the case of the murder of Yushi." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Okay, the Jinwu envoy will immediately send Lin Mouzhang to Beijing!" ”

Cao Yingkui was silent when he heard this.

Lin Yanchao said with a straight face: "Jin Wu envoy, the overall situation in Beijing has already been decided, and this letter can't change anything, but it can protect the future of you and me, and it can also keep the trust of the factory governor in you." Now that I've said this, don't I understand it? ”

Cao Yingkui pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked up at Lin Yanchao, as if he understood something. Then Cao Yingkui looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally said: "Okay, Lin Sima, this official will do it." ”

Jingshi, Wenyuan Pavilion.

Shen Shixing was in the cabinet room, looking at the flowers in the royal blue cloisonné enamel vase on the mahogany case.

Then Shen Shixing narrowed his eyes, picked up a pair of gold-plated scissors from the side of the desk, and pruned them a few times on the branches and leaves of the flowers.

Several attendants stood aside, personally carrying towels and water, and from time to time they were beaten.

Shen Shixing's expression was focused, and it was not until Shen Jiu came in that he interrupted his pruning.

Shen Shixing stepped back left and right, took a sip of the tea on Shen Jiu's hand and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Jiu said: "Pavilion Elder, Qiu Huan's subordinates have already secretly delivered them to Beijing with the chapter, and they went to two places, first to his house in the same year......

Shen Shixing put it in the teacup and said suspiciously: "Qiu Huan is a Jinshi in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, and there are few people who are officials in the court in the same year, except for Xu Dazongbo of the Ministry of Rites, who else?" ”

"Lord Naihara Taifu Qing, who has already become a servant and lives in Beijing."

Shen Shixing was relieved when he heard this, and Shen Jiu continued: "After sitting in a pot of tea at Lord Gou's house, this person left Gou's mansion and went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate again, and finally went to the General Administration Department to post it. According to the master's instructions, the villain sent people to monitor and not startle the snake at all times, and now he is asking the master, whether to take him down? ”

Shen Shixing waved his hand and said: "No, this person must contact his colleagues in the DPRK and China for Qiu Hu when he enters Beijing, and he will contact him, and we will just watch it." ”

"Yes, sir."

At this time, the outside world announced: "Qi Yuanfu, the general political envoy Ni Wanguang is outside to ask for a meeting." ”

Shen Jiu immediately retreated, and soon Ni Wanguang, the general political envoy wearing a three-grade scarlet official robe, entered and bowed: "Ni Wanguang, the general political envoy of the General Political Division, knocked to see Yuan Fu." ”

"No courtesy. What is Ni Yintai doing here? ”

Ni Wanguang took a piece of the memoratory from his sleeve and presented it: "This is the recital of the Imperial Prefecture of the People's Republic of China to impeach one hundred and twenty-five officials in Henan. After the lower officials saw the performance, they felt that the matter was so big that they didn't dare to order someone to copy it, so they came here directly with the original and asked Yuanfu to take a look. ”

Shen Shixing changed color when he heard this: "One hundred and twenty-five officials? ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Shixing couldn't help but say after taking the chapter and looking at it: "This is a shocking case!" ”

Ni Wanguang said with a bit of merit: "Yes, the lower officials didn't dare to play Your Majesty when they saw this, for fear that they would leak the news and alarm the government and the opposition, and then like the last time Lin Yanchao gave advice, it would be known to the whole world." Therefore, it was intercepted and given to Yuanfu to see. Please Motosuke decide! ”

Ni Wanguang thought that Shen Shixing would praise him, but he didn't expect Shen Shixing to say: "Lord Ni is wrong, Qiu Duxian is the imperial history of the right capital, and after transcribing it according to the law firm, he will immediately submit it to the Son of Heaven." ”

"If someone obstructs you, you can hold a red card and go straight to the inner court. How can you take the cannon first to give the Honsuke a look. ”

Ni Wanguang was surprised: "But the Son of Heaven must first be transcribed by the General Political Division, and then through the Six Branch Corridors, which is contained in the chapter, but one day the courtiers can know that so many officials are greedy for ink, and the ink river is so huge, this matter has spread out and reached the ears of the people, so how can the national body exist?" With so many ministers involved, will the court handle it or not? ”

Shen Shixing said: "If what is played in the chapter is true, then no one can cover it, and the court will know the canonical punishment, and with the correct discipline, how can there be a law that does not blame the public." As a general political envoy, you are responsible for slacking the internal and external chapters, and the subjects to seal the complaints, if you can't submit the chapter in time, it is a serious crime, and you don't ask about other things. ”

Ni Wanguang kowtowed and said, "The lower officials will obey Yuan Fujun's decree. ”

After speaking, Ni Wanguang took the piece and left.

After seeing the truth about the murder of Yushi, the Son of Heaven was furious.

If it was really just a one-day case, Qiu Huan's case immediately alarmed the government and the opposition.
