Chapter 351: Justifying Gu Yanqi's Name
The news of Blanche's murder quickly spread to Kyoto, and the court, all the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty knew the news, and there was an uproar. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Some people rejoice and some people worry.
Rejoicing, of course, were the short-sighted, who knew that if Blanche died, the trade would be almost a foregone conclusion.
And the worry is naturally to see the impact behind it.
Let's not talk about trade, will Nanyang stop there?
Especially the emperor, at this time, he was already angry and drank waste!
He was so prosperous that he couldn't protect an embassy, not to mention being kidnapped, and now he even lost his life!
It's really a shame for Da Zhou!
"Your Majesty, Gu Yanjiu, as Lord Qincha, not only failed to solve the case, but also let Lord Blanche die in vain, and he should be punished!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
“……”
In the past, the court was divided into three parties, the first auxiliary party, the second auxiliary party, and the neutral party.
But since the trade incident, the two princes and the party have not been extinct, but have risen rapidly from the ashes, occupying a place in the court, although it is the weakest of the four parties, but because of the two princes as the leader, it also looks more promising, and there are even some wavering people who may join the two princes at any time.
Especially the second auxiliary party, because the second auxiliary Feng Jincheng was imprisoned, everyone was in danger, and there were more people who wavered than other parties.
The emperor did not express his position on this situation, and held an attitude of waiting and seeing.
And this time, the one who came out to ask for Gu Yanjiu's punishment was Fu Tairan, a scholar of Dongge University, who temporarily served as the second assistant.
Since he was appointed by the emperor to temporarily replace the second assistant, Fu Tairan's ambition has been burning, which is a great opportunity for him.
As long as he does a good job, even if he can't always be in charge of the secondary assistant, it can also make him go to the next level in the position of the group assistant and increase his right to speak.
Therefore, he is eager to make meritorious contributions and is eager to make some political achievements.
However, after the emperor purged the court, the court was calm.
The only tricky case of the disappearance of the mission was that the emperor immediately made a decision to appoint a commoner as the minister of the Imperial Mission, not that he didn't want to oppose it, but he didn't think about it, but he didn't dare to make any action when he saw that Du Jingming, the first assistant, didn't dare to make a move for a while.
Now's your chance!
He said that Gu Yanjiu couldn't do it! Sure enough, the people of the mission were not rescued, but were killed!
This is a major dereliction of duty!
He's going to take that opportunity anyway.1
As for the fact that Gu Yanjiu is the brother of the new favorite Jiaoyang County Lord by the Queen Mother's side, Fu Tairan, a scholar of Dongge University, didn't care, the current Jiaoyang County Lord is also a party involved in this case, and now that Master Blanche has an accident, these two brothers and sisters are likely to become the ones who take the blame.
So he resolutely played.
Most of the people from the sub-auxiliary party seconded the proposal.
Now above the court, I hope that the second auxiliary party is having a very hard time, not to mention being suppressed by the first auxiliary party, and being suspicious of the new temporary deputy auxiliary Fu Tairan. Especially the henchmen of the second assistant Feng Jincheng, who are even more depressed.
However, not all the people in the sub-auxiliary party followed the decision of Fu Tairan, most of them were still waiting, and those who seconded the proposal were the officials who were bribed by Fu Tairan after taking office.
"Presumptuous!" The emperor was furious, and threw Gu Yanjiu's recital on Fu Tairan, who still had a trace of smugness on his face, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Sure enough, the best secondary assistant is still Feng Jincheng's guy!
Fu Tairan opened the recital with a flustered face, and when he saw Gu Yanjiu's narration, his eyes darkened, and he couldn't wait to faint.
However, he also knows that if he faints, he will be the second assistant for the time being, let alone become a regular member, and it is still a question whether he can keep it!
Du Jingming, the first assistant on the side, saw Fu Tairan's appearance, and came over to watch the folds together, and couldn't help but gasp when he saw it, now things are complicated.
I thought it was the kidnapper who tore up the ticket, but now it seems that it is obviously not, it was someone who deliberately assassinated it! Especially the nine words that Master Blanche knows the murderer simply makes people tremble!
Shousuke's small movements, the emperor naturally saw it clearly, he snorted coldly, it would be better if he was really torn up by the kidnappers.
He glanced at the ministers in the hall, and did not let go of everyone's faces, and did not find anything unusual, except for one minister whose face was more strange, with a trace of excitement.
Shouldn't it be frightened?
The emperor glanced at the minister again with deep meaning, as if it had some effect, and the minister suddenly raised his head, just opposite the emperor's gaze, a trace of nervousness flashed on his face, and then quickly lowered his head.
This person is none other than the king of Zanji, Songlin.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and remembered Gu Yanjiu's words in the chapter, "Mi Lixin, the county magistrate, intends to collude with Zanzhi Wang Songlin to forge the handwritten letter of the county lord of Jiaoyang County to frame the county lord of Jiaoyang. ”
Combined with Wang Songlin's abnormality, the nameless fire in the emperor's heart surged, this group of waste, who didn't know how to do business, knew to cause trouble for him all day long!
"Wang Songlin, you are guilty!"
Hearing this, King Songlin of Zanzhi almost stumbled, he quickly knelt down and said loudly, "Forgive the minister for being stupid." ”
The emperor snorted coldly, "Wang Songlin, I really love it! colluding with the county magistrate of Pingyang County to frame the county lord of Jiaoyang County, what crime should you be guilty of?"
Wang Songlin said loudly and sadly, "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!"
The courtiers were stunned for a while, not talking about the murder of Blanche, why did they become the county lord of Jiaoyang in an instant?
This is naturally the credit of Li Yue.
At the moment of Blanche's death, Li Yue wrote a secret letter and sent it to the palace quickly.
There is only one theme in the secret letter, that is, Gu Yanqi is not guilty! If Gu Yanqi must be saved!
Originally, the emperor could have ignored it at all, but Li Yue wrote a sentence on it, "If Xiao Qi is sick, the more you should wander the world with Xiao Qi." ”
Chi Guoguo's threat is not at all conscious of being a courtier.
However, seeing this sentence, the emperor's mood was more cheerful, on the surface, Li Yue was a threat, but thinking about it a little deeper, why wasn't it the eldest prince's expression of his father's affection?
This also means that the emperor deliberately got angry in the court, but didn't let people know what happened, so he took his anger out on Wang Songlin, and put the big hat of framing the county lord of Jiaoyang to Wang Songlin first!
Therefore, in the face of Wang Songlin's defense, the emperor didn't care at all, because there was evidence pointing to Wang Songlin in Gu Yanjiu's book, although these evidences were a bit far-fetched to convict Wang Songlin, but ...... He's the emperor!
"Get rid of Wang Songlin's post of praise and governance, go to prison, and wait for the fate!" The emperor directly pronounced the verdict to Wang Songlin expressionlessly, thinking about how to use this matter to curry favor with Li Yue.
Wang Songlin is a neutral faction on the surface, but in fact he is a member of the second prince's faction, and when his life is at stake, he urgently shouted out a sentence that made him never turn over, "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged! His Royal Highness the second prince begs you to help the minister say something! The minister is wronged!"
The emperor's eyes swept to the second prince vaguely, and then said, "Drag it down!"
