Chapter 12: Fighting Back

Xin Ziyan suddenly realized in an instant, as if ice water was flowing in his heart, and he shivered from the cold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out to be him!

He looked at the two people who looked at each other in a daze, one looked cold and warning, and the other looked sad and happy, equally complex and indescribable, electric and fire, wrestling.

But in an instant, the lawsuit has said everything.

Yes, in addition to Wei Zhi, who also compiled the "Tiansheng Zhi", also controlled the Qingming Academy, and was also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, who else could be more convenient than him to attack himself?

Except for Wei Zhi, who has been out of the battlefield and has covered countless princes and generals under the hands of the court, who else can easily knock a quasi-literati to the ground so easily?

Xin Ziyan was awake for a moment, and then he was infinitely confused-if it wasn't for his love to give Wei Zhi a token, how could he use the Qingming Fish to jump into the dragon gate? Over the years, Wei Zhi has been on the rise, but he has always called him a lifelong teacher, he thinks that he has never had a holiday with him, only kindness and righteousness, good and decent, why should he make such a killer to himself?

With such a question, he looked at Ning Yi, but what shocked him was that Ning Yi actually avoided his gaze.

He pursed his lips, his eyes drooping, and his face sank into the dim light and shadow of the hall, so that no one could see his expression.

"I have regarded you as a national shareholder for many years, and your grace is endless, but you are so mad and gracious-" Emperor Tiansheng in His Palace had lost his strength with a roar, and looked at Xin Ziyan in disappointment for a long time, and waved his hand resolutely.

Everyone's hearts tightened.

"Your Majesty!" Ning Yi suddenly took a step forward and knocked his head down, "There is still something strange about this matter, Scholar Xin is loyal to the country, how could he do such a reckless thing?" Did the "Tiansheng Zhi" obtained by Hanoi scholars really flow out of the hands of Xin scholars? The volume of "The Death of Dacheng" was said to be invalidated by Scholar Xin, but who found it and compiled it into the book? Hanoi is thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, is the ancestral hall really true? Are there any other secrets? "The History of Dacheng Rongxing" and "The Book of Rebellious Ministers and Thieves" are collected and destroyed by the Compilation Office as a rule, which is not something that Scholar Xin should handle as the president. ”

His words were clear and clear, and every word was critical, and everyone, whether it was his camp or not, their eyes flashed - Your Majesty's thunder and anger came suddenly, and the courtiers were hit by this thunderbolt and didn't react, and they didn't want King Chu to be so sharp and sober-minded!

"Do you mean that I have listened to and believed and sinned indiscriminately?" Emperor Tiansheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Ning Yi coldly.

"Erchen doesn't dare!" Ning Yi was not afraid, he put his hands on the ground, and said clearly, "Erchen just thinks that this matter is still strange, and it is advisable to investigate and deal with it slowly. ”

The ministers' eyes flashed again - slowly investigating and dealing with the four words, it was really exquisite.

When a major case breaks out, I am most afraid that the emperor will be angry in court and resolutely deal with it, but once it is slowly investigated, there will be more room for maneuver.

"Your Majesty, there are scholars and scholars who are negligent, and there are also disrespectful behaviors that are absurd and unintentional, but the minister dares to guarantee with his life, and the scholar Xin will never conspire to rebel and commit disobedience!" Hu Shengshan reacted extremely quickly and immediately knelt down to Xin Ziyan's side.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

A small number of people knelt down in the hall, and some of them were ready to kneel, but Ning Yi was ordered not to kneel with his eyes - once more than half of the people seconded the proposal, it was another situation, and it was easy for the emperor to see that it was a threat of opposition in groups, and it would also arouse vigilance against Ning Yi's strong forces, so the gains outweighed the losses.

Emperor Tiansheng's anger has passed, at this time, looking at the silent and sad Xin Ziyan, looking at the kneeling half of the courtiers, thinking of Ning Yi's sentence "for the stability of the people of the world", and then remembered Xin Ziyan's position as the leader in Shilin, and finally showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Suddenly, everyone straightened up and looked over - it was Feng Zhiwei who seconded the proposal.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Feng Zhi kowtowed slightly, his face did not change in the scorching gaze of Hu Shengshan Xin Ziyan, and said loudly, "As His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, this matter is extremely strange, "Tiansheng Zhi" has not yet been published in the imperial capital, how can it flow thousands of miles into Hanoi?" "The Death of Dacheng" took three months to compile, and the minister saw with his own eyes that Scholar Xin would invalidate it, how could it appear again? Although there is no ancestral hall in my dynasty, but Dacheng has been famous and general, benefiting the elders of the hometown, there are all over the place to build a shrine for it, the township party loves the outstanding people in the township, and is proud of it, this is also common sense, and those who have a bad heart to sell their reputation to win the reputation of the people are different, please Your Majesty to be screened, "Dacheng Rongxing History" and "Book of Troubled Ministers and Thieves" His Majesty has ordered the unified destruction, but there are still preserved, this is not the fault of Xin University Scholar alone, Weichen as a vice president is also to blame, please Your Majesty to punish together. ”

The ministers in the palace heard these words, and they echoed the words of the king of Chu everywhere, majestic and beautiful, sincere and sincere, and they all nodded frequently.

Xin Ziyan, Hu Shengshan and Ning Yi, but their faces changed miserably.

This is really a "plea" that seems to be maintained but actually adds fuel to the fire!

The words are fierce!

A sentence of "the imperial capital has not yet been published" confirms Xin Ziyan's "private circulation", and a sentence of "compiled in three months", which implies that Emperor Tiansheng, Xin Ziyan "did not hesitate to spend three months compiling history for Dacheng", and a sentence "I have not had a shrine, and Dacheng is endless", and faintly put Xin Ziyan's mind closer to the "Dacheng residual style", and clearly said that "it is different from those who have ill intentions to win the reputation of the people", in fact, it is to say "same", and the last sentence "Your Majesty has ordered it to be destroyed, and it is still preserved", which is really the last pot of fierce oil, poured on the open flame of Emperor Tiansheng, who had already picked her up step by step!

The depth of thought, the ingenuity of words, grasp the accuracy of the emperor's joy and anger, and reach the peak.

Xin Ziyan's body trembled slightly, his face was pale, but he only stared at Feng Zhiwei without saying a word, he was also a courtier who had served Emperor Tiansheng for many years, he knew the emperor's character, and the more he defended himself in anger, the more angry Emperor Tiansheng would be, but as long as the King of Chu and others tactfully suppressed the emperor's anger, there was still a lot of room for maneuver after that period of anger.

Now I see that little room for maneuver has been buried by this person.

What kind of hatred should be so undying?

The face of Emperor Tiansheng in the palace turned cold inch by inch.

"Your Majesty." Ning Yi actually opened his mouth again when he was about to change his face again and everyone was silent.

He has been kneeling beside Feng Zhiwei, but he didn't look at her, seeing that he opened his mouth Emperor Tiansheng's face was a little colder, but his expression remained unchanged, and he only said calmly, "As Scholar Wei said, this matter is very strange, the vice president of "Tiansheng Zhi" and there are no less than dozens of people in various books, among which there are no less than dozens of people in the collection, compilation, sorting and destruction of books, and if it is not for Xin Scholar alone, he can take full responsibility, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the heart of the world, and it is not in line with the purpose of clear rewards and punishments since the founding of our dynastyIf there is an accident in the compilation, compilation, destruction and even the final publication of the book, then all the people involved in the compilation of the "Tiansheng Zhi" should be thoroughly investigated as a whole, who is the first offender, who has coercion, and deal with it separately, so as to show the meaning of our emperor and the duke. After saying that, he kowtowed.

When his words came out, the ministers were stunned again - just now they were trying their best to reduce the situation and try to calm His Majesty's anger, but in the blink of an eye, his tone changed completely, and he even wanted to make a big move, What's wrong with Your Highness?

The corners of Hu Shengshan's mouth showed a hint of a smile - His Royal Highness is really wise, seeing that His Majesty seems to be calm at the moment, in fact, his anger is no longer allowed to be provoked, and it will only be self-defeating to intercede again, so he simply stopped pleading for mercy, and followed Wei Zhi's tone, and spread the pile of crimes that were heavily planted on Xin Ziyan's head to the entire compilation office, and everyone dragged them into the water together.

It seems to be a desperate pursuit and a place of death, but in fact, it scatters the target and confuses the incident.

He rolled his eyes, and immediately lifted his robe and knelt down, "Definitely!" His Royal Highness's words, the old minister was the first to dare to second! ”

The ministers in the hall all showed demented expressions.

What's going on today?

Everyone knows that Lao Hu and Lao Xin are all in the line of the King of Chu, and they have always been obedient to each other, but today on the Golden Palace, why did they sing the opposite tune one by one?

"Oh?" Ning Yi squinted at Hu Shengshan.

"The compilation lineup of "Tiansheng Zhi" is already huge, although Lord Xin presided over the ceremony with the leader of the article, but during this period, all the departments of Qingming, the Hanlin Academy, and the bachelors of the Chinese Academy all participated, and the old minister also had a name at that time, that is, Wei University Scholar," Hu Shengshan paused, and the corner of his eyes swept over Feng Zhiwei, "In the early days of collecting books from all over the world and the initial compilation affairs, Wei University Scholar, as the vice president, also contributed a lot, according to His Royal Highness's remarks, the five major scholars of the cabinet, there are two people who are guilty, and the old minister, as the president of the first auxiliary, dare not shirk the responsibility, But Wei scholar Wan Wan has nothing to do with this matter, please Your Highness not generalize. As he spoke, he knelt down and excused himself.

Ning Yi was silent for a moment.

Hu Shengshan's radiant old eyes stared at him closely.

Feng Zhiwei, who was kneeling between the three of them, remained motionless, and a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

In order to overthrow Xin Ziyan as soon as possible, the old lady messed up a bunch of fatal charges like a fist, in order to quickly perform the work, although this is the most powerful, but it is also easy to be distracted by the target, originally the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have been shocked by this stormy accusation, as long as they can't react, Emperor Tiansheng suddenly decreed, everything is a foregone conclusion, I don't want Ning Yi to be more sober than she imagined, and in a blink of an eye, she grasped this only weakness and counterattacked herself.

And Lao Hu is worthy of the old oilman of the officialdom who has experienced the storms of the court, and immediately seized the opportunity to squeeze her, using the same method as hers - it seems to be maintained, but in fact it is provocative, and the sentence "early collection of books from all over the world and early compilation affairs" implies that "The Death of Dacheng" was compiled in March, and she also had a share.

After a while, she heard Ning Yi say lightly: "How can Scholar Wei generalize? He only participated in the compilation in the early days, and later sent an envoy to the South China Sea to fight in the grasslands, and he was only a nominal in the compilation office, but he was ......"

He paused again.

Hu Shengshan Xin Ziyan looked at him with burning eyes.

Ning Yi lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covered the surging eyes of the dark tide, and his eyes were overturned with all kinds of past, reflecting the flowers all the way, and the flowers fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, and when he took a light step, he fell into mud from then on.

How many things are hidden deeply, but they don't want to open one day, once that inch of sky is lifted by the fingers of fate, there will be irretrievable love and hate thunder.

Her shadow on the brick floor is close at hand and far away at the end of the world.

However, he didn't stop in the end, and slowly took out a document from his sleeve, which was covered with the fire paint seal of the Criminal Department, he took out one of them, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, before Erchen came to the court, he was ordering the heads of the Criminal Department to sort out all kinds of case files accumulated over the years, including the thirteenth year of Changxi, and the Criminal Department was ordered to search a record of Qingming Academy in order to recover the murder fugitive Jiang Xiao, and Erchen brought it here, please take a look." ”

Emperor Tiansheng stared at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was going to do with this document at this time, he ordered the chamberlain to hand it over, took it in his hand and quickly turned a few pages, and casually raised his hand to throw it on the imperial case, suddenly remembered something, took it back again, turned one of the pages, looked at it carefully, and gradually frowned and was silent.

Hu Shengshan had been staring at Emperor Tiansheng nervously, he didn't know what the King of Chu had taken out, but it was definitely beneficial to Xin Ziyan, and his face couldn't help but show a little relief.

Feng Zhiwei's eyes flashed.

She knew what Ning Yi had taken out.

That year, Ning Yi in the name of arresting the prisoner, ordered the head of the criminal department to come to Qingming Academy to search, intending to shake her foundation in Qingming, when she designed to frame the head of the criminal department to search Xin Ziyan and the princess's room by mistake, which put "Dacheng Rongxing History" and "Book of Troubled Ministers and Thieves" in Xin Ziyan's room, the practice of the criminal department, all search affairs are detailed and detailed, presumably recorded in black and white, according to the time calculation, Xin Ziyan was not in Qingming at that time, all affairs were presided over by her, and she knew that Xin Ziyan had a private collection of Dacheng Rongxing History" and "The Book of Rebelling Ministers and Thieves", but they were not destroyed immediately, nor did they remind Xin Ziyan to deal with it, let alone report to the emperor, but today five years later, they pulled out this matter, and this thought fell in the eyes of the suspicious Emperor Tiansheng, and it was inevitable to think about it a few more times.

Although Ning Yi didn't say a word, it was really better to be silent at this time, Xin Ziyan was guilty of hiding privately, but as a vice president, she was the first to discover the banned books in her private collection, but she kept quiet, that is also a crime.

Feng Zhiwei's eyes stared at the ground, the gold bricks were bright and bright, reflecting the shadows of people, everyone was like a shadow floating on the ground, which could not be seen and touched, illusory and cold...... For so long, for so long, he kept his mind carefully, keeping all the evidence against her, she didn't move, he didn't move, when she moved, he didn't lose his mind, how thunderous she shot, how powerful he fought back.

If she has been hiding and preparing for a long time, has he been longer than her?

Ning Yi never looked at her, as if he was afraid that if he looked at her more, his actions would hesitate, and slowly took out a few more letters from his sleeve, but he didn't say anything, so that the waiter handed it over silently.

The people below probed their brains, but they couldn't see what they were, Feng Zhi's eyes were sharp, and he felt that those seemed to be some window textbooks when he was working in Qingming Academy, and some of them were like letters.

She pursed her lips - she pays attention to the correspondence with people on weekdays, and easily refuses to write, and some people cling to the relationship and ask for Mobao poems or anything and ignore it, but Changxi thirteen years ago, when he was a student in Qingming Academy and later a secretary, he had nothing to do at that time, but he had an ambition to get ahead.

Words have always had a variety of meanings, just look at how to interpret them.

The thing was handed over, Emperor Tiansheng flipped through it randomly, frowning his eyebrows, Ning Yi's action disrupted his original unswerving mind and pace of Xin Ziyan, and he was a little hesitant for a while,

There were many discussions below, but Hu Shengshan Xin Ziyan had already understood what Ning Yi meant, and his eyes burst with joy.

If Wei Zhi stays out of the matter, then Xin Ziyan will always be the fish and meat on his sword, no one knows when this important minister, who has great influence on the Son of Heaven, will give another stab, and now His Royal Highness will draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle and directly roll Wei Zhi into the same crime, once he is imprisoned, no one will secretly do something, and His Royal Highness will always have the opportunity to make His Majesty come back to his heart.

Or His Royal Highness is far-sighted and far-reaching!

There was silence in the hall, Emperor Tiansheng was stunned and silent, his old brain was also a little confused at this time, these arguments in the court today sounded reasonable, but they were all plausible, and it was obviously a very simple thing, how could Wei Zhi be involved in it in the end?

Looking at the things in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Zhi, you-"

Feng Zhiwei looked at the ground, the corners of his lips gradually showed a treacherous and cold smile, and slowly bowed down after a long time.

"Minister, guilty."
