In just one day, explosive news came one after another, and the courtiers were speechless for a while. First, the thieves dug the embankment of the Yellow River, and then Li Xinke recovered Taiyuan, and even confirmed that the king of Jin, who had been martyred before, was not dead, and the undead king of Jin also sued Li Xin, the hero of the restoration of Taiyuan.

A complaint was sent directly to the cabinet hall, and it was a eunuch next to King Jin who came to deliver the complaint. If someone had complained to Li Xin in the past, the ministers and imperial historians would have rushed up and trampled this guy to death. Today, they are all staring at each other, as if it is difficult to make a decision for a while, and they don't know what to do.

Several ministers of the cabinet originally wanted to block the news first and discuss it on a small scale, but who knew that in just half a day's effort, the news of Li Xin's defendant actually spread far and wide, making it all over the court and becoming the talk of the people after dinner. Even Zhu Youzhen, the son of the great tomorrow, couldn't cry or laugh, and he had the feeling of hating iron but not steel.

What did the King of Jin sue Li Xin, it turned out that Li Xin tarnished the reputation of the county lord of the King of Jin when he was in Ningwu! This was tantamount to a super-heavy bomb in the Ming Dynasty, which strictly adhered to etiquette and religion, and the ministers did not dare to amplify their voices when they discussed in private, but pretended to turn their heads and ears. The speculation and discussion are full of curiosity about the secret things of men and women, and the words are also full of unspeakable but clear tacit understanding.

It is not the first time that Li Xin has been placed on the cusp of the limelight, but this time the center of people's discussion is not on him himself, but they are all trying their best to speculate how Li Xin ruined the reputation of the county lord of Jin.

This kind of case involves the secret matter of men and women, but the scandal that escaped, whether it was Li Xin's overlord who made a bow, or whether the two people had feelings for each other and had a reluctance, this has been turned in the mouths of the courtiers I don't know how many times.

Most people's opinion is that Li Xin is only a horse thief, and he is vulgar and uneducated, and the county lord will only look at this kind of rough goods if he is blind. Nine times out of ten, Li Xin took advantage of the difficulties of others, and the overlord made a bow, who would have thought that the old guy of King Jin would not suffer this dumb loss, and he would make this matter public at the expense of his own suffering.

It is said that Li Xin was not only born as a horse thief, but also in the prime of life, only in his early twenties this year, and he is a good age with unlimited energy, and it is not a problem to be a good woman, but even the royal people dare to move if he is hungry, which is a bit confusing.

In short, some people regret it, some people gloat, and a rising star may fall because of this. In the end, it was the emperor's attitude that made everyone unable to see the direction of the wind, and it is said that this kind of thing King Jin can take into his own face to sue, and it will definitely not be fake, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xin will properly sentence a decisive sentence. But the emperor just didn't say anything, and the cabinet held the king of Jin in his hand and turned it to a hot potato.

If Li Xin collaborated with the enemy and treasoned and killed innocents, the ministers would never be soft-hearted, and they should be impeached and impeached, and they should be dealt with, but now when it comes to the royal family, things can be big or small, and it is difficult to grasp how to do it and how to do it. If one is not good, it has to be exceptionally unflattering.

In one day, this kind of public case involving a royal scandal became the focus of public opinion in the capital, and it actually diluted the shadow brought by the Henan war situation a lot.

The reason why Zhu Youzhen, the son of the great tomorrow, has not expressed his position for a long time is because he is waiting for Gao Shiming's reply. He will definitely not listen to this matter anymore, he wants to get the truth, and before the truth comes, he has already made up his mind that no matter whether Li Xin is guilty or not, he will protect this person.

To be honest, he was very dissatisfied with King Jin's almost tearing face, such a scandal, he went directly to the cabinet without saying hello, is the situation not chaotic enough?

Two days later, Gao Shiming's 800-mile courier arrived in Beijing, and Zhu Youzhen learned first-hand information about the scandal, and the scandal began when Li Xin rescued a woman who fell into the water and died. And this woman is the beloved daughter of King Jin.

Gao Shiming naturally replied to Li Xin in every possible way, but in the letter to the emperor, he was realistic, and even had many micro-remarks in many details. For example, Li Xinmeng Lang, for example, even touched the body of the county lord after saving people. Even the details of the rescue such as pressing the chest and mouth-to-mouth are recounted one by one. Just after these extremely rude actions, the county lord, who had no voice, actually came back to life.

Zhu Youzhen was a little calmer, and he had already set the tone for Li Xin's indecent county lord. Li Xinqing rescued people, some indecent behaviors are understandable, although his later indecent rescue methods are a little too unbelievable, but after all, he is not the shameless person of such an overlord who is hard to bow down. This made him very happy, and he didn't want the Xiao Jiang he valued to be a lustful cup demon.

That's not all, Zhu Youzhen summoned the head of the Jin King's guard into the palace, and this person was the man who supported the Jin King and the county lord all the way that day.

However, in this person's mouth, Gao Shiming's words about Li Xin's methods of saving people have become an excuse to take advantage of the opportunity to be offensive and rude. This man in the Jin Dynasty started from the thieves besieging Taiyuan, the king of Jin tried his best to support the situation, and then Taiyuan was finally defeated by the city, the son of the world was lost and his life and death were uncertain, only a daughter was with him, they were exiled to the people, were chased and killed by the thieves, suffered all the hardships, and now they were insulted by the generals......

The more he spoke, the more indignant he became, his anger was difficult to contain, and his excitement was overflowing, and he scolded Li Xin with blood, and finally burst into tears, asking the emperor to be the king of Jin and uphold justice for the county lord.

Zhu Youzhen highly affirmed the spirit of the King of Jin's courage to fight, and soothed the man who was loyal to the lord, and then sent the person out of the palace. After being confirmed by both sides, he can already be sure that Li Xin's indecent incident was caused by saving people, and it seems that if he wants to protect this kid, he has to start from here.

Although as an emperor, he can't do whatever he wants, and he has to be subject to many constraints, and he must also take into account the rules of etiquette and religion. Moreover, it is not appropriate to confront and discuss this matter in public, and it is necessary to start with public opinion first.

Sure enough, news came out from the palace on the same day, and the little eunuchs gathered in groups in the palace to discuss the insider information about the matter.

The so-called Li Xin's indecency is a complete misunderstanding, at that time, the county lord fell into the water, and the big river coincided with the peach blossom flood, and the water was turbulent. And after rescuing the person in the case, it is said that the person is no longer good, so Li Xin doesn't know what kind of first aid he did, and the county lord actually came back from the dead, you say, is it strange? ”

"Such a secret, how can you know it with a sprinkler, tell nonsense!"

"You don't know this, my godfather is the apprentice of the prince, he heard it from the prince's mouth with his own ears, how can it be fake!"

If this is said by Wang Chengen, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, everyone will instinctively be half detailed. This news soon spread to the outside of the palace through the brocade guards guarding the palace gate, and it became a well-known secret for a while.

Even several ministers in the court recognized this rumor, and specially summoned the attendants of the king of Jin to verify the matter. The attendants of the King of Jin naturally refused to admit it, although there were discrepancies in the rumors, but it was generally not bad. After he summoned the attendants of the King of Jin, he came to the conclusion that it was very likely that after Li Xin rescued people, he had some indecent behavior in contact with the county lord, but whether it was subjective intention, or whether it was a subordinate authority, except for himself, I am afraid that outsiders will not know.

But this kind of qualitative, how can the king of Jin be capable, he tore his face, and made it clear that he was to kill Li Xin. And the emperor's attitude, he is confident that he has already smelled a hint of it, the emperor wants to protect Li Xin, and it is bound to win.

It was difficult to make a decision for a while, for fear that the two ends would not be pleasing if it was not handled properly, thinking about it, Liu Juesi felt that he still had to find someone to discuss, and there were not many people in the cabinet who could discuss with him with his fingers.

Xue Guoguan and Li Shiwen were born as opposites of Li Xin, and if they made an idea, it would definitely be unfavorable to Li Xin. Fan Fucui is a good candidate, but unfortunately he is too rigid, and it is not what he wants to handle impartially, in case he violates the holy will, it is inevitable that he will not be settled in the future. In the end, after thinking about it, I felt that only Zhang Sizhi was the most suitable, this person was the emperor's teacher, and he understood the emperor's preferences the most, and he was not deeply entangled in the interests of all parties, and this person once owed his family a favor in a property dispute, and this was a good time to pay it back.

So, Liu Juesi went to Zhang's house overnight to visit. Zhang Sizhi seemed to know his intentions, and even took the initiative to talk about this peachy case in the court, and Liu Juesi immediately solemnly asked for advice.

"Please also ask Zhang Xiang to teach me!"

Zhang Sizhi stroked the gray goatee under his chin and told him not to worry.

"The old man wants to hear Lord Liu's thoughts!"

Liu Juesi repeated his previous judgment, of course, speculating on such things as the Holy Will cannot be said, Zhang Sizhi nodded again and again, neither opposing nor agreeing.

After a while, Zhang Sizhi suddenly asked, "What does Lord Liu think of the Holy Lord's desire to do this?" ”

Liu Juesi was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Juesi is blunt!" Please let me know! ”

Zhang Sizhi said, "Lord Liu has obviously made a judgment, and the old man has nothing to say. This matter is determined by the will of God, and it cannot be wrong. ”

Hearing Zhang Sizhi say this, Liu Juesi said in his heart Zhang Sizhi is an old fox, what is the difference between saying and not saying such a panacea? I didn't know that the emperor meant to protect Li Xin, but how to protect it, didn't I come to ask him for an idea!

The hall suddenly became cold, and Liu Juesi had to be cheeky and said: "Juesi really doesn't know how to decide, Zhang Xiangde is highly respected, please give Juesi some guidance!" ”

Zhang Sizhi actually stopped selling Guanzi, and said bluntly: "After all, it is a matter of men and women, and it is not beneficial to the court to make a big fuss, not only to keep the heroes, but also not to damage the King of Jin, Lord Liu think about it, is there a way to compromise?" ”

Liu Juesi suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "Connection, marriage? ”

Zhang Sizhi stroked his goatee under his chin and smiled without saying a word.
