Chapter 935: Borrowing the Situation and Punishing the Heart

On the lower left half of the position, the fourteenth prince was sitting precariously, but his eyes fell obliquely on the body of the left capital Yushitian Kangbang.

Tian Kangbang only felt a layer of cold sweat on his back.

Although the fourteenth prince didn't speak from beginning to end after he came in, he already understood what the other party meant.

If you Tian Kangbang want to punish this person in the hall, you can, come up with further evidence, otherwise, you can't move this person for the time being.

His Majesty Emperor Shotoku inherited the diligence of his father's hard work, and opened a prosperous era that is rare in a century. The emperor himself is self-controlled, and he is not so easy to deceive.

Especially in the past few years, hundreds of officials have been in the court, only Prime Minister Li Yunma is the first to look forward, and every time he goes to the court, he always responds to every call, and he is happy, as if there is no other voice at all. This is absolutely intolerable for an emperor who needs to maintain a balance between hundreds of officials.

Especially in recent years, he has been convicted for his words, or the local officials of all sizes have embezzled and accepted bribes, and even those pickled family affairs have been excavated, and finally those who have been assigned have been distributed, and those who have been exiled have been exiled. When this happened one by one, the emperor was really angry, and he was ruthless in dealing with it, but now, looking back, he realized that there were fewer and fewer different voices in the court, and there were voices of opposition, and it was just a show of those inconsequential things, and the emperor knew it very well in his heart.

This court, this world, should not be and cannot be Li Yun's Yiyan Hall.

But Li Yunqi is indeed a person with the ability and right wrist, and there are many places that depend on him in the affairs of the court at present, if there is no such person, the operation of the dynasty's institutions will probably have problems in a short period of time.

How to maintain the balance between these is an urgent issue.

Li Yun must not move, but his henchmen can't be too many, and above the court, he still needs some different voices, otherwise if he listens to and believes partially, he can't see the real situation of the entire dynasty. Moreover, too many wings and a big tail are also a threat to the imperial power itself.

The Inspectorate controls the words of the entire imperial court, supervises hundreds of officials, and should have a common voice above the imperial court, but in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer imperial histories that dare to tell the truth and dare to offend people.

In the words of Emperor Shengde himself, it is that everyone has now learned to "be with the light and dust, and with the times", which seems to be a scene of harmony between the monarchs and the ministers, but in fact, the officials protect each other, the friends gather, exclude dissidents, and cut off the way of speech. Every time the people have suffering, they can't go up to the heavens to hear, all day long, what they see and hear is a glorious scene of prosperity, don't you know that there are starving ghosts under the prosperity, and there are also tears of the people in the year of peace, to be honest, he doesn't really mind those officials who use their official status for personal gain, and there is no fish when the water is clear.

The premise is that those officials can get things done, settle them down and plow the peasants, and prevent the annexation of the state from going forward.

However, in recent years, there have been frequent famines, although judging from the relief reports from local officials, large and small floods, locust plagues, and droughts have been dealt with appropriately and very well. But the emperor knew that it was debatable whether what he saw on the excerpts was the same as the scenes seen by the magistrates and disaster relief officials in the localities.

Each of these piles needs to have a pair of bright eyes to stare at for yourself, rather than playing some irrelevant content all day long to deal with yourself.

The quiet Inspectorate, the imperial history that doesn't speak, no emperor will like it.

Emperor Shengde had long intended to plant a pair of his own eyes in the Inspectorate and truthfully report the truth he saw and heard.

And these things, the left capital Yu Shitian Kangbang, who is in charge of the Inspectorate, obviously can't do it. If the number one leader is a person who dares to speak, is not afraid of offending people, and has a right mind, the following imperial historians will not dare to be so silent.

A large part of the reason why the emperor sent the fourteenth prince to observe the trial of Jiang Ning's case by the Inspectorate this time was to take this opportunity to find one or two imperial histories who were sincere and unwilling to be attached to the party, so that Natian Kangbang could move his position.

Of course, if the fourteenth prince can't find the flaw of Tian Kang's tie this time, then the position of the imperial history of Zuodu is not something that can be moved casually. First, the people from Li Yun's family asked about the reason, and secondly, although Tian Kangbang didn't do much work, and he had some meaning of a corpse vegetarian meal, but after all, he was a person who could calm the field, and before he could find a suitable replacement, if he was forcibly dismissed, it would only make the Inspectorate a mess.

And the reason why he chose such a sensitive time is because Jiang Ning, as the imperial historian, since something happened, if he was wronged, then nine times out of ten it was because he was not very obedient and refused to shut up obediently.

Recall that in recent years, many officials who have been suppressed and even punished have been disposed of because of similar problems. If Jiang Ning is really wronged, then it is most suitable for him to be his eyes!

There are always some talented people around the emperor, in other words, if it is not a capable person, it is impossible to appear by the emperor's side.

The case that happened to Jiang Ning, if he hadn't been so sure, he wouldn't have let the Fourteenth Prince come over to supervise the trial in person.

Of course, if there is a definite certainty that Jiang Ning is really innocent, then the fourteenth prince will not come, and the one who will come to the inspectorate will be the chief eunuch Liu Sheng and an edict.

It's just that Jiang Ning doesn't understand these officialdom things at all, and he hasn't figured out who he is until now, what position he is in this turmoil, and what the mysterious power on the broken bridge wants to bring him to this fantasy world.

But he is not completely unreliable.

The energy in the body can't be used, the primordial spirit can't be used, it seems that all the power can't be used, but there is one ability, but it has never been deprived, that is, the power of nothingness!

Thinking about it, Jiang Ning was relieved.

The illusion world was originally composed of the power of nothingness, and naturally there was no way to deprive Jiang Ning of the power of nothingness together.

On the contrary, Jiang Ning knew that if he wanted to leave this illusion world, this time he would not have to complete the task in the underworld, and now he only needed to mobilize the power of nothingness to break through this false world, and the Yuan Shen could easily return to the main body.

Therefore, although this fantasy world seemed to be much more meticulous than the ones he had experienced before, Jiang Ning was not afraid that he would not be able to complete the task and be trapped in this world forever.

The reason why he didn't leave directly was because Jiang Ning knew that if he left like this, he wouldn't die, but the secret hidden in the Broken Bridge Forbidden Land would have nothing to do with him.

Moreover, Dong Xun is still in this world, even if he doesn't find the secret secret, he needs to confirm where Dong Xun is, at least find her, and take her out with him when he leaves.

Of course, that's all for later.

The immediate priority is to save the life of his current body.

"Li Yanxi, you are worthy of being a speech official, and you are indeed clever and eloquent," Tian Kangbang saw that his previous remarks were blocked by him, and turned to say: "So, do you think you are innocent?"

"This is nature!" Jiang Ning said.

Tian Kangbang smiled coldly and said, "Since you are innocent, then please prove your innocence in front of everyone!"

Jiang Ning's heart was suffocated.

The problem arises here, although he knows that Tian Kangbang has no way to prove that Li Yanxi killed his wife with his own hands, but no one can prove that Li Yanxi did not kill him, so this case is not clear at all until there is new evidence, and Jiang Ning can't do it if he wants to prove his innocence.

In fact, even if it was judged that Li Yanxi was likely to be wronged based on the condition of this body, Jiang Ning was not completely sure that Li Yanxi's wife was indeed not killed by himself, plus he had never been to the scene at all, so for a while, this confused account could not be sorted out at all.

Tian Kangbang saw this, so he threw the problem back to Jiang Ning.

That's right, I don't have absolute evidence to prove that you are a murderer, but I still have some evidence after all, but you have no evidence to prove your innocence. On the contrary, you, Li Yanxi, are already the biggest suspect, and the relationship between you and Nanyuan's actor is indeed unclear. In this world, killing the chaff in one's own house for the sake of an outside woman is both gimmicky and interesting, and it is not unusual, and everyone is willing to believe it when you say it.

Seeing the change in Jiang Ning's face, Tian Kangbang knew that his strategy was very effective, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart.

"Boy, since I can achieve the position of this Zuodu Yushi, I don't just rely on qualifications and connections, if I don't have two brushes, how dare I take over this porcelain job?"

At this time, Jiang Ning really didn't have much to do in his heart. He had so little information at hand that he couldn't even make up a plausible argument based on the current situation.

After being silent for a long time, even the fourteen princes who were watching frowned slightly, and then the left capital Yushitian Kangbang sneered: "What, didn't you say that you are innocent?

Jiang Ning smiled casually: "My lord is really joking, innocent people, they didn't know in advance that they would be wrongly convicted, how could they think of preparing evidence for themselves in advance, take 10,000 steps back and say, if everyone who has been wronged has evidence to prove their innocence, how can they be wronged?"

After these remarks, the audience exchanged their heads and ears, obviously agreeing with Jiang Ning's words.

Yes, if everyone has a way to prove their innocence, what else do you want your inspectorate to do?

It seemed that he had been prepared for the reaction of those spectators, Jiang Ning said with a smile: "If you can't prove your innocence, you are guilty, then in this bright world, who else dares to come to the Inspectorate of Lord Zuodu Yushi to ask you to hang the mirror high and judge fairly?"

As he spoke, Jiang Ning raised his head and pointed to the plaque hanging above the mirror, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the mirror here is dyed with a different color?"

"Nonsense!" Tian Kangbang's old face turned red, and even though he was deep in thought, after hearing Jiang Ning's heart-wrenching remarks, he only felt his heart pounding, and his malice rose sharply.

Shocked Tang Mu slapped extremely loudly, he raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Ning's nose, and said angrily: "The fourteenth prince is here, how can you allow you to punish your heart so without evidence?"

When he said this, Tian Kangbang peeked at the Fourteenth Prince and found that his face was as usual, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

How could Jiang Ning let go of this great opportunity and immediately fanned the flames: "Lord Zuodu Yushi is so annoyed and angry, isn't it in the next misfortune?"

In fact, Jiang Ning didn't know if he had a holiday with Natian Kangbang, and he didn't know if this person deliberately harmed him, but he just said some heart-wrenching words in a hurry, so as to muddy this pool of spring water and find a glimmer of life for himself, but he didn't want to just throw the bait, and the Lord Zuodu Yushi directly bit the hook. If it was an ordinary time, the first seat of the dignified Inspectorate, if there was not even this bit of the city, Jiang Ning only said that this was the so-called thief's heart, and he was even more convinced in his heart that the original owner of his body was wronged.

"Bold Li Yanxi, you are suspicious, and you don't want to clarify for yourself, but you are still slandering Shangguan here and wantonly slandering, I don't think there is any need to try this case, just with your lawless appearance, Miss Jian Zihao of the Jian family must have killed you! Come on, drag me down and hit the fifteenth board, escort me back to the prison for two days to reflect on it, and then talk back when he thinks clearly!"

"What's the matter? The dignified Lord Zuodu Yushi, isn't the trial of the case entirely based on speculation?" Jiang Ning glanced at the fourteenth prince sitting in the upper position on the left with the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "Is it a suspect who was escorted over, as long as the adult looks unpleasant, he can be directly convicted?"

Those officials in the hall are not fools, don't look at the left capital Yushi Tian Kangbang sitting in the hall, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is now the fourteenth prince who is in charge here, so although Tian Kangbang is a little angry and wants to let Jiang Ning retreat, lest he say anything unfavorable to himself in front of the fourteen princes, but the fourteenth prince sat there and did not speak, they really didn't dare to directly drag this Li Yanxi, who was possessed by Jiang Ning, down.

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

And the fourteenth prince seemed to be distracted, and after a long time, he turned his head in ignorance, got up and waved his hand at Tian Kangbang, and said with a smile: "Forget about the court staff or something, just his small body, he will be beaten to death if he is afraid of you twice, how can he be tried? ”

After Malier finished saying this long list of words, the fourteenth prince stepped down like the wind, and quickly walked out of the inspectorate, and only when he left, he glanced at Jiang Ning deeply.

Li Yanxi, the imperial history of the Inspectorate, this person has always been low-key and forbearing, only doing practical things, rarely speaking, and it is said that he is also extremely humble and polite in dealing with people, and he is judged under this hall today, but he doesn't want to be so sharp and sharp!

The fourteenth prince just sighed in his heart, this person has been forced to a certain point, and his true talents will be vividly displayed, and today's performance of Li Yanxi really makes him a little amazed!

Moreover, Jiang Ning's words even cut and beaten, but he said what he wanted to say to Natian Kangbang, but it was not easy to say clearly, just by looking at the face of the Lord of the Zuodu Imperial History, he knew that his father, Emperor Shengde, was not wrong at all.

The fourteenth prince sneered in his heart, Tian Kangbang, Tian Kangbang, this world is the world of the people of the world, the world of His Majesty the Emperor, but not the world of his Li Yun, as the first seat of the Inspectorate, you don't even understand this reason, you deserve to lose this position!

didn't hit a board, Jiang Ning returned to his own cold and damp cell so peacefully.

The old man saw that Jiang Ning had come back safely, and there was a hint of brightness in his dark yellow eyes.

"That Tian Kangbang of the Inspectorate is so kind to let you come back?" The old man breathed a sigh of relief for Jiang Ning when he spoke, but he turned to curiosity.

Jiang Ning said: "He is not so kind, it's just that when the trial started, the fourteenth prince was also there." ”

"The Fourteenth Prince?" the old man's voice raised slightly, and he confirmed again, "Are you talking about the Fourteenth Prince?"

Jiang Ning keenly noticed a hint of strangeness: "What's the matter, you always know?"

"How do you know?" The old man looked up at Jiang Ning, his cloudy eyes became extremely clear for a moment, he looked at Jiang Ning fixedly, and said, "Fourteenth Prince, the son of Concubine Hui, he, did he survive?"

Jiang Ning also heard the meaning of these words, and said with a little curiosity: "What, should he be dead?"

"No, no!" said the old man, waving his hand, and jumping up and down in the thatched cell.

Jiang Ning said, "Who are you?"

At this time, he had already realized that this old man must have some unusual identity before, and maybe he could help himself in the matter between the fourteen princes.

The old man turned around, glanced at Jiang Ning deeply, hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "There are some things that you still don't know." ”

Everyone has their own secrets, and forcibly asking when others don't want to talk will only cause disgust and vigilance, Jiang Ning knows that although this old man has a sense of sympathy for himself, he has no basis for trust, and if he wants to open his mouth, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

So, he just smiled and didn't continue to ask.

"Words can only confuse the public and delay some time, but I still have to find a way to figure out the ins and outs of the matter!" Jiang Ning thought.
