Body 320 double-edged sword
Lin Shiling felt that there was no place in his body that was not trembling or afraid, what he just said, he just followed the original words of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he already felt cold sweat, liver and gallbladder cracking, and his legs trembling and he couldn't help himself.
If it weren't for the fear that he would not be able to complete His Royal Highness the Prince's order, and forced himself to only narrate and not imagine, I am afraid that when he faced Suo Yuanli, he would have collapsed on the ground before he could finish speaking.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart at the same time, Suo Yuanli was calm, he was able to face such a torture narrative, and he was able to remain calm and calm, although he knew that he was also afraid, but that mental endurance was a hundred times stronger than himself.
Above the court, as Suo Yuanli walked in, it became even more silent, Zhongshu Ling Pei Yan, Menxia Province Cen Changqian, Shangshu Province Zhang Wenjun, Cui Yuanzong, Criminal Department Cui Zhiwen, Dali Temple Di Renjie, Yushitai Li Qiao, divided into two rows and stood in the center of the court, the person in charge was naturally Di Renjie who personally investigated the case.
The other officials and nobles looked at each other, watched Suo Yuanli walk into the Xuanzheng Palace, and couldn't help but think: "If this person really killed the students of Guozijian and Hongwenguan, then the Jinyang Wang clan is really gone." ’
And some of them are also beginning to think about whether they should consider how to get rid of Wang's involvement if they are truly convicted?
Those other officials recommended by the Jinyang Wang clan looked at each other, but also saw deep worries in each other's eyes, the general trend of the Wang clan has gone, will the imperial court affect them in addition to punishment?
Yan Zhaofu's face was pale, he was kept in the dark from the beginning, and Kong Zhiyue privately changed the examination papers of the imperial examination scholars, impostors and firsters. persuaded himself to go to Di Renjie's mansion with him, hoping that for the prestige of Guozijian and Hongwenguan, the impact of the Shizi's murder case could be reduced, or even the case was hastily closed.
originally thought that these were all for the sake of Kong Zhiyue's sake of Guozijian and Hongwenguan, but now it seems that he was used by Kong Zhiyue as a tool to force Di Renjie to close the case this morning.
Li Zhi and Wu Mei, who were behind the screen, saw Suo Yuanli walking in, and they also glanced at each other, isn't this the Hu man who came with Princess Qianjin a few days ago and brought a few warlocks? The princess's family will be Suo Yuanli.
Wu Mei had some melancholy on her face, the collapse of the Wang family was naturally an excellent thing for her, but Li Hong chose to be convicted above the court, how many people in the world would believe that the Wang family deserved it? Does Li Hong seem a little anxious and urgent?
At least after the four families and six surnames in the next dynasty, for the sake of their respective reputations, they will definitely help the Wang family exonerate themselves in front of the world's scholars. They are not doing this for the sake of the Wang family, or how good and close they are with the Wang family, but they obviously understand the truth of both prosperity and loss.
If the murder of the scholars of the Jinyang Wang clan is recognized by the scholars of the world, then the scholars will definitely think that the other four surnames and six families will also have the same thing, and in this way, the four surnames and six families will also suffer from their reputation, so they obviously will not choose to watch after the next dynasty.
And in this way, with the mediation and exculpation of the four surnames and six families in front of the world's scholars, Li Hong will become weak and weak in such a powerful trial above the court today, and it will just be a change of the head of the Jinyang Wang family at that time.
Li Zhi listened to Wu Mei's whispered recounting of the worries in his heart, and nodded in agreement, indeed, it is too difficult to put the Jinyang Wang family and the place of death at once, the other four surnames plus the meritorious and wealthy families, etc., and the officials above the court are also recommended by the Wang family, after the next dynasty, after their explicit and secret exculpation, the Wang family is still a century-old family, and it is still a gate valve that enjoys great prestige among the scholars of the world.
Since Li Zhi and Wu Mei behind the screen can think of these drawbacks, there are naturally people in the front hall who can think of these, and one of them is Wang Yuan!
The originally gloomy and dignified face became a little panicked after Suo Yuanli came in, but after a while, he obviously figured out some of the pros and cons, just like he said just now, for the sake of the Wang family's hundred years of continuity, even if it is to take his old life, why not?
If he can exchange his life for the Wang family to continue to enjoy supreme prestige among the scholars of the world, then even if he is imprisoned, why not? Although he can't leave a name of honesty in His Majesty, at least in the genealogy of the Wang family, his personality will become greater in the eyes of the descendants of the Wang family.
"No, Li Hong will not let the Wang family succeed, this is not in line with Li Hong's style, he must have a backhand, and there must be a means to put the Wang family to death completely, but we don't know it yet." Wu Mei muttered to herself, although she said so, she really couldn't think of any other means to be able to give the Wang family a fatal blow above the court and among the scholars of the world.
Li Zhi was a little curious, the queen was nervous, although he knew why the queen wanted the Wang family to decline, but he still couldn't help but be a little curious: "Then what else does the queen think Li Hong can do?" Even if Wang Yuan admits it now, it may not be a heavy blow to the century-old foundation ......of the Wang family. ”
"What are we missing?" Wu Mei suddenly interrupted Li Zhi's words and asked.
"What's missing?" Li Zhi was even more confused.
"In the front hall, the royal family lives here, the wealthy nobles live here, the hundred officials are lined up on both sides, the lower right corner is where the five surnames and seven families are located, the Hongxue Confucianism lives in the lower left corner, and there are people standing in the four corners of the Xuanzheng Palace. What is the use of the empty space between Hongxue Confucianism and the five surnames and seven families? These places are definitely useful! Wu Mei smiled, smiling very calmly, she admired the little rabbit cub more and more.
What could be more useful than by borrowing the word of a soldier from all over the world? What the Wang family is most afraid of is that the scholars of the world know that they have murdered the scholars of the Guozijian and Hongwenguan, so Li Hong is bound to use the eyes and mouths of the scholars of the Guozijian and Hongwenguan to make the evil deeds of the Wang family public in the world.
As soon as Wu Mei's words fell, Hua Meng's voice sounded in the Xuanzheng Palace: "Your Highness, the students of Guozijian and Hongwenguan, I don't know where I heard that my classmates were murdered by the Jinyang Wang family, and now there are many people gathered, and I want to ask you to allow them to question the Wang family's ...... above the court." ”
"Nonsense, what kind of system, never allowed, this is the court, not a place where their students can come, the only places they can go are Guozijian and Hongwenguan, not to mention that there is not enough evidence to prove ...... now." Li Hong was very angry, and he took the case and loudly reprimanded Hua Meng.
But someone has already stood up to speak for the students, and Qinghe Cui took the lead in standing up and said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that the scholars of the world are the pillars of my Tang Kingdom, and His Royal Highness should treat each other with courtesy, not to mention that this case concerns the hearts of thousands of scholars in the world, and the minister thinks that in order to show the importance of the court to the students, they should be allowed to come and listen." ”
"Yes, Your Highness, the minister also thinks that students should be allowed to listen, although this is my Tang Xuanzheng Palace, but today it is this case as a reason to go to the court."
"Your Highness, the minister seconded the proposal, this case is related to the murder of the students of Guozijian and Hongwen Hall, and His Royal Highness should be considerate of the students' concern for their classmates."
"Your Royal Highness, the ministers think that the students should be allowed to enter the Xuanzheng Hall to listen to the case, as a Datang student, he was murdered, and his students care about the grievances of their classmates, which is really a blessing for my Datang, and it should be seen that the students are not afraid of power and the courage of the wicked."
The five surnames and seven families can stand for two hundred years without declining, Li Hong felt that he had really found the reason, so he rushed at their rapid reaction speed, and after knowing the joint request of the students of Guozijian and Hongwenguan, the means of immediately changing the direction of the wind were enough to make them stand tall.
The first to speak out were the four surnames and six families, they weighed the pros and cons almost at the same time, and they would rather go against the royal family than against the people in the world, and they instantly knew which side they should stand on.
At this moment, if they still dare to protect the Wang family, then they believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will use the mouths of many students of Guozijian and Hongwenguan to spread the affairs of today's court, then the prestige of the five surnames and seven families will plummet, and then it will be the time for the real rise of the imperial examination system.
So now, in order to protect the prestige of his clan, sacrificing the Wang clan who has stepped out of the cliff with one foot is naturally the most reasonable choice.
Wu Mei and Li Zhi laughed at the same time, and both of them suddenly realized that they couldn't help but remember what Li Hong said at the beginning: "Public opinion orientation, if the imperial court controls public opinion guidance well, the five surnames and seven families will be a fart!" ”
Wu Mei also took a feather duster to relive her beating skills because of Li Hong's indecent words.
The two of them did not understand the abstract term of public opinion guidance at the beginning, but now Li Hong personally gave them a demonstration, and let the emperor and the empress see how powerful public opinion guidance is.
And they also understand the importance of Guozijian and Hongwenguan, which is really no less than the five surnames and seven families above the court or the noble and wealthy families, no matter which side of the force, there is no sharp mouth of the son of the world, and it makes people feel a lot of pressure.
"It's a double-edged sword." In the end, Wu Mei seemed to summarize, and gave a summary comment on the power of today's Guozijian and Hongwenguan students in the Xuanzheng Palace.
Wang Yuan has aged a lot all of a sudden, his gray beard and hair have withered a lot, his originally bright eyes have become dimmed, and even the crutches that were originally very calm are shaking involuntarily in his hand at this moment, as if to show how excited and shocked he is in his heart!
He never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would plan to let the students of Guozijian and Hongwenguan come to listen, so that after the crowd of these scholars, it would be difficult for the Wang family to rise again!
