The edict in winter and October, although it is not dripping into ice, but it is also biting cold. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In prison, Lin Qianqian was sobbing there, and Lin Yanchao wanted to hug Lin Qianqian, but she pushed her away.

Lin Yanchao said helplessly: "I thought you understood my hardships, didn't you support me before?" ”

Lin Qianqian said lightly: "But you told me before that at most, it was just a demotion to an official, but you didn't say that you would be imprisoned." If you take on this responsibility, why won't I let you go to the book, what if Your Majesty kills you in anger? ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, he renews his name and demerits, and wants to be famous for future generations, but he acts repeatedly and indecisively. Such an emperor, although he can't become a heroic lord like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, but in terms of hundreds of officials and people, he is really a benevolent and virtuous king, so he will not kill his ministers. ”

Lin Qianqian wants to be famous and happy, indecisive, and looking forward is not a derogatory word? How did he become the king of benevolence again?

Lin Qianqian heard Lin Yanchao say that his life was fine, but he was worried: "But there are so many ministers in the court, why don't they go and you have to go." I don't know what it is to ask for the people's lives and the righteousness of the world. I just want our family of three to be fine! ”

Lin Yanchao saw that Lin Qianqian was worried about herself, and clasped her hand and said, "It's a family of three, and we're not doing well right now." ”

Lin Qianqian shook his head and said, "But you're not good, what kind of place is this edict?" The common people say that even if the copper skin and iron bones go in, they will also pick up a layer of skin for you.

In the Forbidden City, the cold wind blows.

Seeing Gu Xiancheng jumping out as if to Zhang Juzheng, Lin Yanchao was wronged, and Zeng Xiangzong was about to buckle his big hat on his head.

Zeng Xiangzong tried his best to tie Gu Xiancheng with Zhang Juzheng and Lin Yanchao's case.

At this time, another minister rose up and said: "I once slandered the minister to Xiangzong, if Gu is the same year as Zuo Zhongyunzhi, he is the same party, then it is also the same year as Zuo Zhongyunzhi, then this official is not the same party?" Please convict the officer as well. ”

Everyone looked and saw that the person who spoke out was Wei Yunzhong, the chief of the Ministry of Officials. Wei Yunzhong is the younger brother of Wei Yunzhen. Wei Yunzhen was the imperial history who accused Sang and scolded Huai, satirized Zhang Siwei, and forced Zhang Siwei to resign, but now he has been demoted.

As for Wei Yunzhong, not only with Gu Xiancheng, Lin Yanchao was the same year, when Wei Yunzhong was a student, he worshiped Wang Shizhen, the deputy envoy of Henan Province, and Lin Yanchao was also half a brother. Because of this relationship, Wei Yunzhong and Lin Yanchao were also very close in the same year.

Seeing that the head of the household department and the head of the ministry all stood up to express their grievances, Zeng Xiangzong was a little lacking in confidence.

And Zeng Xiangzong speculated that Gu Xiancheng, Lin Yanchao, and Wei Yunzhong were all Shen Shixing's protégés, and Shen Shixing was Zhang Juzheng's confidant, could it be that it was Shen Shixing's plan to overturn the case for Zhang Juzheng this time?

The Son of Heaven glanced at Shen Shixing and saw that he was still standing respectfully on the jade steps.

Shen Shixing was not such a bold person, the Son of Heaven immediately ruled out suspicion, and did not believe that Shen Shixing dared to instigate Gu Xiancheng, and Wei Yunzhong admonished at this time.

Zeng Xiangzong didn't dare to speak, and at this time, Yang Sizhi of the imperial history came out and said: "Boldly rebel against the ministers, Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao's rebellion case is the Son of Heaven, are you overturning the case for them?" This is an attempt to slander the Son of Heaven. ”

Gu Xiancheng said: "In the past, when the Duke of Jiangling was seriously ill, all the officials went to pray, but Brother Wei and I didn't go, and the officials of this household department all knew. The official just said that the Yellow River and the Susong flood, the top priority at the moment is to comfort the sky and reassure the people, instead of being busy chasing down any traitorous party and making the people panic. ”

Wei Yunzhong also said: "Er Yang Sizhi and Zeng Xiang Zongdong accused me of being the remnants of the Chu Party, do you have to be traitors above the Manchu Dynasty, so that your Majesty is sacred?" ”

Gu Xiancheng and Wei Yunzhong sneered at each other, but Yang Sizhi sneered: "But I clearly heard what Director Gu said just now, Zhang Juzheng, and Lin Yanchao is a loyal minister." It's too late to change your tune now. ”

After speaking, Yang Sizhi hugged his fists to the Son of Heaven and said: "Your Majesty, Gu Xiancheng is undoubtedly the remnant of the Chu Party, and Wei Yunzhong speaks for him, they all have to overturn the case for Zhang Juzheng, please Your Majesty take them down and hand them over to the Criminal Department for interrogation." ”

After Yang Sizhi finished speaking, Zeng Xiangzong also went out and echoed: "Your Majesty, the remnants of the Chu Party in the court, endangering the community, and overthrowing the heart of the Holy Unity can be punished!" The minister asked His Majesty to investigate thoroughly, merge Lin Yanchao, Gu Xiancheng, and Wei Yunzhong into the case, and interrogate them strictly, to see how many people in the court are Zhang Juzheng's traitors, and how many people are the backstage of Lin Yanchao who dares to slander the court. ”

Wuqinghou Li Wei couldn't help pinching his beard, thinking to himself, this time he caught so many big fish at once. Lin Yanchao has been an official for many years, and it seems that he has traveled extensively, even Gu Xiancheng, Wei Yunzhong, and the real power of the Ministry of Officials speak for him, but this is also easy to catch all of them.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are trying to protect Zhang Juzheng, Lin Yanchao is not a traitor!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Wei frowned, thinking to himself, which one is not afraid of death to jump out? But when he saw the comer, he was shocked.

The courtiers were also shocked.

But when I saw an elderly official wearing a three-grade peacock, he trembled and went out of work.

Although this person is old, no one dares to peep, and even the Son of Heaven sitting on the throne is moved to leave his seat slightly: "Haiqing's family, who are you?" ”

It turned out that the person who played was Hai Rui, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

But seeing Hai Rui standing under the class, his eyes swept over Yang Sizhi and Zeng Xiangzong. For some reason, when these two people saw Hai Rui's gaze, they were both weak in their hearts.

Yang Sizhi couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly pointed at Hai Rui and said, "Your Majesty, Hai Shilang recommended Lin Yanchao, of course he spoke for the criminal minister Lin Yanchao!" ”

That's right, Hai Rui became the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, which was recommended by Lin Yanchao to the Son of Heaven, and all the officials knew it.

Could it be that Hai Rui is also selfish?

Hai Rui glared back at Yang Sizhi and said, "Is Lin Yanchao an official of the Ministry of Officials, or a scholar of the cabinet?" What is the right to recommend? You rashly put your majesty like this? ”

Listening to Hai Rui's words, Yang Sizhi was speechless. Wuqinghou Li Wei is also scolding Yang Sizhi for being stupid at the bottom of his heart at this moment.

The Son of Heaven also glanced at Yang Sizhi unhappily, waved his hand and said, "Yang Qing retreats." ”

Yang Sizhi returned to the class in a gloomy manner.

Hai Rui's sleeve robe knelt down to the Son of Heaven and said: "Chen Hai Rui protects Zhang Juzheng, Lin Yanchao is not a traitor. ”

Hai Rui said a word, and the whole court was quiet. Li Wei's sleeves trembled, and as for Zeng Xiangzong, Yang Sizhi was pale.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Juzheng has been an auxiliary minister for ten years, and his merit is in the society and his wealth, but his merits and demerits are compensated, and his loyalty to the country cannot be erased. As for Lin Yanchao...... Lin Yanchao admonished two things to be sparse, and the ministers read the sparse expression, and his heart to serve the country with his fists can be expressed every day. ”

"I don't know what is the crime of being fair and outspoken? What is the sin of asking for the people's life? What is the crime of loyalty and adultery for Your Majesty? ”

Hai Rui's three righteous and awe-inspiring questions were deafening, like a golden stone roaring, the Son of Heaven on the throne, his eyes were slightly filled with tears, he didn't know in his heart that Zhang Juzheng and Lin Yanchao were wronged.

"Therefore, the ministers are trying to protect Zhang Juzheng, Lin Yanchao is not a traitor, please Your Majesty!"

After speaking, Hai Rui knocked long.

Seeing Hai Rui like this, the man was moved.

Gu Xiancheng and Wei Yunzhong can be said to have come to Baolin Yanchao because of the same year.

But Hai Rui and Zhang Juzheng have never been on good terms when they were officials, but they are willing to speak up for Zhang Juzheng, which is really a high-spirited festival.

The Son of Heaven on the throne was also caught off guard, and he glanced at Zhang Whale. Zhang Whale hurriedly lowered his head, unaware of this.

Hai Rui does not form a party, it is well known to the world, and Zhang Whale did not expect him to come forward. But both the Son of Heaven and Zhang Whale understood that Hai Rui's words were selfless.

The Son of Heaven on the throne couldn't sit still, and now the situation was out of his control.

The officials below couldn't help but ignore the supervising imperial history on the side, and said one after another: "Although I always don't like this sea pen holder on weekdays, this time he is really right. ”

"This is iron-clad, if it weren't for him Gu Xiancheng, Wei Yunzhong would be in prison."

"This is the eternal green pine and cypress, which can be the pillar and proud of the frost and snow!"

At this moment, Yu Shenxing, who was in the court, was secretly ashamed, although he had already made a decision, but when it came to the scene, he hesitated.

Decades of studying to cultivate ambition, but the moment it is really useful, not everyone is so calm.

At present, Yu Shenxing sees that Hai Rui is still upright at the age of seventy, thinking that he is Lin Yanchao and Zhang Juzheng is the guarantor, and now he has nothing to hesitate about.

Yu Shenxing gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said loudly: "Yu Shenxing is negligent in three things." ”

The officials looked at today, Gu Xiancheng, Wei Yunzhong, Hai Rui, Yu Shenxing, what happened to them one by one, do they all have to redress their grievances for Zhang Juzheng and Lin Yanchao?

But seeing that Yu Shenxing presented the recital and said loudly: "The subordinate is cautious and neglects three things." ”

"One incident in the Yellow River, the flood in Susong, millions of Li people are homeless, the nine sides are in arrears, the army's heart is shaken, and the minister asks His Majesty to cut the wedding fee of King Lu by four million taels."

"Second, Zhang Jiangling, the first assistant in advance, was loyal to the country, although he made mistakes, but he did not hide his merits. Now that Zhang Jiangling's family wealth has been registered, and the eldest son committed suicide by torture, I implore His Majesty to be cautious and respect the punishment, and all Zhang Jiangling's deaths in order to save the national body. ”

"In the past, the Qin Dynasty slandered those who admonished and used torture and killing as a threat, so the ministers were afraid of crime and held on to their grievances, and they did not dare to be loyal. Zuo Zhong Yun Lin Yanchao, speaking uprightly, guilty of admonishment, this is not guilty, and I implore His Majesty to release his responsibility. If Your Majesty can grant the three invitations of the ministers, then all the officials will praise Your Majesty's holy wisdom! ”

Yu Shenxing finally tried to see the dagger.

Lin Yanchao's advice on two things is the one or two things that Yu Shenxing said, and the third thing is to rescue Lin Yanchao.

Yang Sizhi had seen the anger of the people in Xiangzong, but he didn't dare to speak at the moment.

And their colleagues, Li Zhi, who originally advocated the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng, Jiangdong Zhi and other imperial histories, are strange today, and they didn't say a word.

These people are all Zhang Siwei's protégés, could it be that Zhang Siwei instructed them?

Wuqinghou Li Wei couldn't help it at the moment, and personally stood up and pointed at Yu Shenxing: "What does it mean that all the officials praise His Majesty's Shengming?" Can you speak to Your Majesty on behalf of the officials? A little day speaker, he is not ashamed to speak, what do you rely on......

"Minister Wang Jiaping seconded!" Wang Jiaping strode out and stood with Yu Shenxing.

Li Wei seemed to have been slapped heavily on his face, pointed at Wang Jiaping and scolded: "You and I have the friendship of fellow villagers, the old man treats you well on weekdays, and you are ......."

Wang Jiaping glanced at Li Wei and said, "Marquis Wu Qing, don't be surprised, justice is greater than personal feelings." Lin Zhongyun admonished His Majesty for the people of the world, I heard his injustice, and today I would rather die here with him than live in the court! ”

Li Wei was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and at this time, the lecturer Huang Fengxiang came out of class.

"Minister Huang Fengxiang seconded!"

Shen has always been out of class.

"Chen Shen has always seconded it!"

When the officials saw this scene, they couldn't help but say, is this finally here?

"Minister Zhao Nanxing seconded!"

"Minister Lu Yicheng seconded the proposal!"

Dozens of officials came out one after another to make speeches.

"Your Majesty, the ancients tried all the world's treasures to serve them, and they still thought they were insufficient. Your Majesty does not love the people, but uses the world to offer the people of Lu, the Yellow River, and Susong to cry blood! ”

"Your Majesty, the former king used an elephant chopstick. Ji Zijian said, he is an elephant chopstick, must be a jade cup, for a cup, then must think of the strange things in the distance and the royal it, the horse palace room gradually from this beginning, can not be vibrated also. Today, King Lu used more than 6 million taels for his wedding, and more than 100 taels for the transfer of the domain. Since ancient times, the desire is insatiable and endless, and the minister begs His Majesty to have mercy on the people of the world! ”

"Your Majesty, Zhang Juzheng has not been corrupt or bribed, this is a strange injustice! Zuo Zhongyun admonished impartially and begged His Majesty to release him. ”

When the Son of Heaven saw so many ministers, he knelt down and persuaded him one by one, although he had expected it in his heart, he was still a little overwhelmed when he saw this scene.

The Son of Heaven said: "I already know the request of your ministers. You don't have to say any more, stand down! ”

After the Son of Heaven finished speaking, none of them left.

I saw the ministers knocking on the ground, hitting the ground with their foreheads, and one by one, they seemed to crash into the heart of the Son of Heaven. The rest of the officials who did not say anything were also full of tears in their eyes, and their hearts were extremely sad and indignant.

Marquis Wu Qing also stepped up to the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, please quickly persuade the ministers to retreat." ”

The Son of Heaven immediately said to the three auxiliary ministers standing on the jade steps: "Three ministers, you persuade me for me!" ”

Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing, and Yu Youding did not move when they heard the holy decree, standing in place like a clay sculpture.

Zhang Jing immediately said: "Three auxiliary ministers, what did Your Majesty ask you?" ”

Shen Shixing slowly went out of work and kowtowed three heads to the Son of Heaven, and a few tears oozed from his eyes: "Your Majesty, the minister was known to Zhang Juzheng in the past, and he recommended him to His Majesty as a Japanese speaker, and the guilty minister ...... The criminal minister Lin Yanchao is a disciple of the minister. All these things are the responsibility of the minister. The minister asks His Majesty to remove the minister from his office. ”

"Mr. Shen, you?" The Son of Heaven was shocked, he did not expect that Shen Shixing, who had always been cautious and submissive, would dare to disobey his will today.

Li Wei, Marquis of Wuqing, said to Zhang Siwei urgently: "Yuan Fu, as the leader of a hundred officials, how can you not restrain officials, you see that they are trying to force the palace!" ”

Zhang Siwei glanced at Li Wei with disdain, and then went out of class and said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, it is not good for the minister to restrain the minister, so that there is today's matter, I implore Your Majesty to allow the minister to resign from the position of first assistant, and the minister to return to his hometown." ”

After Zhang Siwei finished speaking, Marquis Wu Qinghou didn't dare to say confidently that Zhang Siwei actually betrayed himself and the Queen Mother.

Yu Youding also went out and said: "The minister is also guilty of dereliction of duty, and I implore Your Majesty to allow the minister to return to his hometown." ”

The Son of Heaven was disgraced and said, "You are a member of the Cabinet University...... You, too, have come to force me! How dare you? Where are the Imperial Guards? ”

The royal guards of His Royal Highness moved.
