Chapter 38: Please praise Lin Tianlong
Lin Tianlong couldn't touch the north, and in the Qinzheng Pavilion, Emperor Yuan also felt that he couldn't touch the north, "Yang Hongwen, what did you just say?" ”
"Holy Lord, please ask Holy Lord to praise Lin Tianlong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"I asked you to find out if Lin Tianlong was greedy for ink and whether he was guilty, and you didn't tell me what the result of the investigation was, so I asked him to praise him? Why did I praise him? Emperor Chu Yuan patted the imperial case angrily and said, "What credit has he made to praise him?" How did you find out this Qincha, will the light be rewarded? ”
In the Qinzheng Pavilion, the people standing are all important ministers of the court, Zhou Xuancheng on the left, Ye Fuguo on the right, Yan Mingde, Lin Wenyu and Zhao Shilang are all there, as well as the head of the household department, the head of the Ministry of Rites and others. Zhao Shilang was originally not qualified to stand here, but Emperor Yuan said that he should listen too.
In addition to a few ministers, the crown prince Chu Zhaoheng, the second prince Chu Zhaohui, the third prince Chu Zhaoye and the fourth prince Chu Zhaoyu are also here, and the fifth prince Chu Zhaonan is still a minor and is not standing here.
Emperor Yuan's attention to this matter can be seen.
After listening to Yang Hongwen's words, everyone else didn't know what he meant.
Chu Zhaoye and Lin Wenyu glanced at each other, both secretly puzzled.
Lin Tianlong sent people to hurry up, and before Yang Hongwen, he had already sent the letter to Beijing. The two naturally knew what Yang Hongwen did in Beidaying, but they didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
However, neither of them could ask in detail, so they were called to Qinzheng Pavilion by Emperor Yuan.
Chu Zhaoye waited in Qinzheng Pavilion for a long time in the morning, and it was almost lunch when Emperor Yuan went down to the court, he pleaded guilty and said that he drank with Chu Mo last night and couldn't go back to the palace, Emperor Yuan thought about Lin Tianlong's matter, and didn't pursue it too much, only asked him what he thought of Zhao Shilang's accusation.
"Father, although the sons and sons don't have much contact with Lin Tianlong, they don't believe that he will know the law and commit such a serious crime. But since Zhao Shilang's words are conclusive, it is better to investigate them thoroughly. Emperor Kanyuan nodded, and said, "However, recently, the matter of the Lin and Zhao families has been spreading in the capital. Zhao Shilang didn't report it early or late, but when his father wanted to investigate the cause of Lin Tianbao's death, he should also let him defend his innocence. And the matter of the household department, the household department Shangshu does not know, but he, the squire, knows, which is also unreasonable. ”
"Are you saying this out of public or selfish motives?" Emperor Yuan asked with a smile.
"Father, sons, ministers have public intentions and selfish intentions. After all, the Lin family is Erchen's uncle, and although Lin Tianbao is not a weapon, he and Erchen often play together when they are young. ”
"Well, then when Yang Hongwen comes to report, you can also listen to it." Emperor Yuan was very satisfied with the answer of the third son, legal principles, human feelings, if he said that there were only legal principles, it was obviously not close to human feelings. If you only talk about human feelings, that is not the attitude that Mingjun should have. Now he is speaking frankly, but it is reasonable.
Now, standing in the Qinzheng Pavilion, Chu Zhaoye looked at the other princes around him, judging why his father wanted them to be here, especially the crown prince Chu Zhaoheng.
"Holy Lord, there is naturally a basis for the minister to say this." Yang Hongwen faced the anger of Emperor Yuan, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant.
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened to him.
"Holy Lord, when the minister arrived at the Beida camp, he encountered two accidents, one is that the Beida camp happened to move the camp today, and half of the people arrived at the summer camp, so the minister only saw half of the camp. The second thing is that the camp tent where the account books of the past years are stacked in the Beida camp caught fire, and the ministers were not able to see the account books. Yang Hongwen said unhurriedly, "The minister asked a lieutenant in the camp and two soldiers around General Lin to question. ”
He took out a few pieces of paper and presented them, "This is the confession of the three people." The Holy Lord, please see, the minister asked the three of them how the food was in the camp, and all three of them said that the food was abundant, and there was meat and rice for a meal. ”
Emperor Yuan picked up the confession and looked at it, nodded, and motioned for Yang Hongwen to continue.
"As far as the minister knows, the food expenses allocated by the household department for soldiers are 300 wen per person a day, and the school captain is 500 wen a day per person, and today's meat costs 450 wen per catty. There are more than 30,000 horses registered in the Beida Battalion, and there are no more than 100 people with positions above the rank of captain, and the rest are all soldiers. If you eat meat every day, even if you eat one or two meat per day, you have to pay a lot of silver. General Lin actually paid the soldiers to eat meat, shouldn't such a good general who loves the people like a son be praised? ”
After saying this, the Qinzheng Pavilion was silent at first, and after a while, there was a snort, but it was Chu Zhaohui who laughed, "General Lin has put all of his money in it for a year, isn't it enough?" No wonder they are greedy for ink. ”
After hearing this, Lin Wenyu's face turned blue with anger, and he secretly hated the stupid things that his son was looking for, "Holy Lord, it is estimated that these three people are trying to meet the horse, and what they said is not the truth." ”
"Lin Shangshu should not be humble for General Lin, these confessions have been shown to General Lin, and he has also asked whether the food that General Lin and the three of them said is true, but General Lin said that it is so." Yang Hongwen replied directly, and then turned to Emperor Yuan and said, "Shengshang, as for General Lin's greed for military salaries, there is no account book and the minister cannot check and verify, but the camp tents in the Beida camp, the minister carefully looked at the number, and those camps could not live more than 30,000 people, so please send someone to verify the number of troops stationed in the Beida camp." ”
Empty salary?
If it is verified, the crime of embezzlement of ink will be established!
Emperor Yuan's face sank again, and when he heard Yang Hongwen say that he had encountered two coincidences, he knew that Lin Tianlong's greed for ink was true. He looked at Lin Wenyu and Chu Zhaoye who were standing below, did these two know about this? How much is informed?
In addition, the minister also brought the account books, paper ashes and scorched earth left behind by the fire. Please take a look. ”
"Pick it up!" Kang Bao, the great eunuch beside Emperor Wen, took the two bags of things in Yang Hongwen's hands and presented them to Emperor Yuan.
Yang Hongwen didn't sell Guan Zi either, "Holy Lord, this pile on the left is the ash of the account book." All books and papers are burned when they meet the fire, but the books are thick, and after the fire, the outside burns, but there will be unburned pieces of paper in the heart of the book, and it is impossible to leave even a piece of paper. ”
He pointed to another pile and said, "This pile of scorched earth, the minister has looked carefully, and unlike the soil of other tents, there are obvious traces of oil in it. ”
"Lin Tianlong, bold!" After listening to Emperor Chu Yuan, how could there be anything he didn't understand, it was clearly the evidence of Lin Tianlong's destruction!
Lin Wenyu knelt down, "Although what Yang Zhongcheng said is reasonable, it is all inference!" I don't believe that Lin Tianlong dares to commit such a serious crime, please be aware of it! ”
As long as there is no evidence, there can be no confession!
"Lin Shangshu is saying that the lower officials have made a mistake in the verification? The things presented by the lower officials were all in front of General Lin and with his consent. Sheng, the minister and General Lin have no grievances, but they are just playing according to the facts. ”
Yang Hongwen said this, but he was much more confident than what Zhao Shilang said during the day.
Chu Zhaoye was puzzled, he let Lin Tianlong do his tricks, why did he do this, what went wrong? But he felt again: Lin Tianlong can't be saved, can the Lin family still be saved?
