Chapter 1218 - Nothing Can Be Done

Master of Ceremonies.

"They actually beat the brocade guards? Haha......" Wang Zhen laughed out loud after listening to Ma Shun's report, where are those Hanlin people fighting Jinyiwei, they are obviously provoking the orthodox emperor.

"Father-in-law, as far as this official knows, Xu Anyuan, a scholar from Hanlin, has gone to find Hu Shangshu, it seems that they want to save Liu Qiu." Wang Zhen reported to Wang Zhenyu with a smile on his face, and he was proud in his heart, as long as this errand was done well, then the throne of the Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu envoy would be his.

Just this morning, the edict of the orthodox emperor has been transmitted to the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, and Li Manshan, the envoy of Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, was transferred to serve as the garrison of Nanjing, and took charge of the Fusi of Jinyi Weinan Town, which means that the throne of the Fusi of Beizhen Fusi is vacant.

In this edict of the orthodox emperor, Li Manshan was allowed to take some officials of the Beizhen Fusi to Nanjing to take up their posts, so that Li Manshan could take away the henchmen of the Beizhen Fusi, so as not to be involved in the conflict between the cabinet and the civilian clique.

"This is Jinyiwei's case, even Hu Ying doesn't want to get involved." Wang Zhen sneered when he heard this, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Jinyiwei was originally set up by Emperor Hongwu to deal with hundreds of civil and military officials, how could the orthodox emperor, who had just held his breath in the court, let Hu Ying intervene in Liu Qiu's case?

"Father-in-law, what should I do with that Liu Qiu?" Ma Shun nodded when he heard this, thinking that what Wang Zhen said was extremely true, and asked after a deep sigh.

Liu Qiu is different from Dong Phosphorus, Dong Phosphorus can be described as an ownerless duckweed in the officialdom who can be pinched and flattened by Ma Shun, but behind Liu Qiu is Hu Ying, which makes things a little tricky.

"Let's wait and see what happens." Wang Zhen thought for a while and said, because Liu Qiu's identity is special, so before that, he has to carefully observe the situation in the capital, and then make the most choice, among which the attitude of the orthodox emperor is very important.

Metropolitan Procuratorate, Council Chamber.

Li Yuntian convened the right capital of the Imperial Palace, the left and right deputy capital imperial history, and the left and right imperial history of the Imperial Court to discuss the affairs of the Imperial Procuratorate, due to his busy official business, Li Yuntian did not often come to the Imperial Procuratorate, but every time he came, he would definitely solve the problems faced by the Imperial Procuratorate.

"Lord Wang, just now there was news from the Hanlin Academy, the people of Jinyi Wei arrested Liu Qiu, and the people of Hanlin Academy beat the people of Jinyi Wei in order to prevent Liu Qiu from being taken away."

It was already noon after the discussion, Li Yuntian led Chen Zhi and others to lunch, and Lin Xin, who had just walked out of the meeting hall, had already been waiting outside the door and told him the news of Liu Qiu.

"Liu Qiu was arrested?" Chen Zhi and the others, who were following behind Li Yuntian, were taken aback when they heard this, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces, no one would have imagined that Liu Qiu, who had a clean breeze on his sleeves, would have an accident.

"Hurry up and investigate, and reply as soon as there is news." Li Yuntian had already guessed that something would happen to Liu Qiu, so he was not surprised at all, but he couldn't show it in front of everyone, so he frowned and ordered Lin Xin in a deep voice.

"Subordinates obey." Lin Xin bowed when she heard this, turned around and left in a hurry.

"Lord Wang, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, it seems that there will be some entanglement in the court again." After Lin Xin left, Chen Zhi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, everyone is clear about the situation in the court recently, so the reason why Liu Qiu was arrested by Jinyiwei is self-evident.

Li Yuntian shook his head a little helplessly, and walked up to lead Chen Zhi and the others to eat, he has a special status now, so the best choice is not to say a word, so as not to speculate about his intentions from the outside world.

Liu Qiu's arrest by Jinyiwei spread all over the capital like a whirlwind, his weight was not comparable to Dong Fu, and immediately attracted the attention of the officialdom in the capital, everyone knew that this was the inner court's move, and its purpose was naturally to teach Liu Qiu, a guy who didn't know what to do, and at the same time, it was also a counterattack and demonstration to the civilian official group.

Hu Ying was the first person in the capital to know about Liu Qiu's accident, and he was taken aback when he learned the news, but he didn't expect Wang Zhen to be so bold and dare to use Liu Qiu as a knife.

Since Jinyiwei was a yamen directly under the direct control of the orthodox emperor, Hu Ying had no good way to do this, so he had to enter the palace to meet the orthodox emperor and want to know what Liu Qiu had done.

"There is such a thing, and Ma Shun, the deputy town envoy of the North Town Fu Division, will be sent to me." After Hu Ying entered the palace and saw the orthodox emperor, the orthodox emperor was also quite surprised by Liu Qiu's arrest, and after a long silence, he ordered Song Dashan beside him.

"Minions, let's do it." Song Dashan didn't dare to slack off, bowed down in response and left quickly, and went to arrange for someone to pass Ma Shun into the palace.

Hu Ying was slightly stunned when he heard this, and was quite surprised that the orthodox emperor did not pass on Li Manshan, you must know that Li Manshan is the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfusi, but then he remembered that Li Manshan had been transferred to Nanjing by the orthodox emperor not long ago, and the new Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu envoy has not yet been determined, and now Ma Shun is in charge of the Beizhen Fusi in the name of the deputy Zhenfu envoy.

This made the corners of Hu Ying's mouth can't help but flash a trace of imperceptible wry smile, although Li Manshan also investigated many cases and imprisoned many court officials when Li Manshan was in office, but those people are all corrupt and perverted the law, and they deserve it, Li Manshan has never let his Jinyi guards do those dirty things.

In addition, because the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family was in charge, the inner court did not dare to blatantly attack the civil and military officials in the court through the Jinyi Guard.

Therefore, Li Manshan has a good reputation for being in charge of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi for so many years, and he is very harmonious with civil and military officials.

In Hu Ying's opinion, if Li Manshan was here, he would definitely not be so reckless to arrest Liu Qiu, a Hanlin servant, no matter how Liu Qiu is also Li Yuntian's fellow student, the so-called Buddha face without looking at the face of the monk, Li Manshan is the descendant of Li Yuntian's lineage, and he will definitely not act rashly.

Originally, Hu Ying just thought that Li Manshan's transfer to Nanjing this time was just a promotion in the officialdom, after all, Li Manshan had been in Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi for so many years as an earl, and he should go up, but now it seems that things are not so simple, and Li Manshan's transfer seems to involve more complicated things.

Since Liu Qiu has been arrested and imprisoned, Hu Ying can't count on Li Manshan, after all, Li Manshan has left Beizhen Fusi, and the so-called not in his position is not in his position, Li Manshan is definitely inconvenient to intervene in Liu Qiu's affairs, and he will not be involved, otherwise he will not be transferred to Nanjing.

"Chen Jinyi, Weibei Town, Fu Division, Deputy Zhen Fu Envoy Ma Shun knocked to see the emperor." Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si was in the imperial city, so Ma Shun quickly rushed over and knelt in front of the orthodox emperor to salute.

"Deputy Envoy Ma, I ask you, was Liu Shi of the Hanlin Academy arrested by your Jinyi guards?" The orthodox emperor looked at Ma Shun, who was kneeling there, and asked quietly.

"Your Majesty, Liu Qiu was detained by someone sent by his ministers." Since the orthodox emperor didn't let Ma Shun get up, Ma Shun naturally didn't dare to get up, knelt there and said respectfully.

"Liu Shi said that he is the most knowledgeable person in the Hanlin Academy, he is honest and honest, why do you want to detain him?" The Orthodox Emperor's face turned displeased, and he opened his mouth to question.

"Back to the emperor, Liu Qiu formed a party for personal gain, and colluded with Dong Fu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, to try to get involved in Taichang Siqing and disturb Gangchang, which is really a great crime." Ma Shun didn't expect the orthodox emperor to look displeased, and his heart suddenly chuckled, and sweat oozed from his forehead involuntarily, so he pretended to answer calmly.

Hearing this, Hu Ying couldn't help frowning, thinking that what Ma Shun said was nonsense, Dong Phosphorus was completely a nerd, and Liu Qiu's personality was incompatible, so the two had no intersection in private, how could they form a party for personal gain.

Besides, Liu Qiu's appointment as a civil official was agreed by the orthodox emperor before Liu Qiu, and some officials also recommended themselves, including Dong Li, so this has nothing to do with forming a party for personal gain.

If he were to be another minister, he would definitely have to open his mouth to refute Ma Shun, but Hu Ying was different, he was calm by nature, and he couldn't be happy or angry, otherwise he wouldn't have become a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so he stood there quietly, wanting to see the reaction of the orthodox emperor.

"Oh?" Hearing this, the Orthodox Emperor had a look of surprise on his face, "Do you have any evidence?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is Dong Phosphorus's personal confession, and he agreed with Liu Qiu that Liu Qiu will use his status as a Hanlin attendant to impeach Dong Phosphorus in the main hall for the post of Taichang Temple, so that he will not dare to fight with Dong Phosphorus." Ma Shun had already prepared, took out a confession from his sleeve and presented it to the orthodox emperor with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is Dong Li's confession, please take a look." ”

"Is this really Dong Phosphorus's confession?" The orthodox emperor glanced at the contents of the confession, and asked Ma Shun with a serious expression, looking a little incredulous.

"Your Majesty, this matter is true, it is Dong Phosphorus's personal confession, and there is his signature on it." Ma Shun nodded again and again, and swore that for the sake of insurance, Wang Zhen instructed him to let Dong Phosphorus copy the confession, so that Dong Phosphorus would be difficult to argue at that time.

"Master Hu, what do you think of this?" The orthodox emperor frowned slightly when he heard this, and handed the confession in his hand to Hu Ying.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that this matter is very important and should be dealt with carefully, and I don't know if it can be handed over to the three law divisions for trial to set the record straight." Hu Ying checked the confession, frowned, and then tentatively bowed to the orthodox emperor and said.

He could confirm that the confession was in Dong Phosphorus's font, so he wanted to take the case from Jinyiwei, if he didn't guess wrong, Dong Phosphorus must have been forced to write this confession, so if Dong Phosphorus was left in Jinyiwei, the case would not be investigated.

"Lord Shangshu, this move is inappropriate, the Fu Division of Jinyi Weibei Town was ordered by the emperor to try the case, and the third law department has no right to intervene." Without waiting for the orthodox emperor to speak, Ma Shun opened his mouth and retorted, you must know that Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division and the Three Law Divisions are two different systems, how can the Three Law Divisions interfere in the case of Beizhen Fusi?

"The emperor forgives the sin, and the minister is anxious for a while." Hu Ying suddenly sighed in his heart when he heard this, he didn't have any hope, but now he was naturally no longer insisted on by Ma Shun, bowed down to the orthodox emperor, and interfered with the case of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si It is a big crime.

"Lord Hu is also concerned about the government, what is the crime?" Seeing this, the orthodox emperor smiled slightly, stepped forward and helped Hu Ying up, looking disapproving.

"Deputy Envoy Ma, the case of Dong Fu and Liu Qiu is very important, you have to interrogate carefully, don't make mistakes, otherwise I will try to ask you!" Then, the Orthodox Emperor's face sank, and he shouted coldly to Ma Shun.

"I will abide by the holy decree and live up to the emperor's trust." Ma Shun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to the orthodox emperor, it seems that he has passed this level.

Hu Ying's eyes flashed a gloomy look, this time Liu Qiu and Dong Phosphorus are going to be more auspicious, what kind of person Jin Yiwei is, he knows it clearly, as long as he enters the Beizhen Fusi Yamen, he will be fine, and he will be judged.
