Chapter 137
Chen Ying is a warrior in the court, and he is not the only warrior.
After he stood up, two more imperial historians one after another, one to the ministry, Langzhong of the Ministry of Household and Ministry of Works, and Shaoqing of Honglu Temple stood up to support Chen Ying.
"The ministers are guarding Daning, and the military governor's mansion is the governor of the military capital after Beijing stays behind, and the first-class Bo Meng is guilty!"
Just looking at Chen Ying's appearance, it is really difficult to correspond to his character, words and deeds.
The face of the national character, the silkworm eyebrows, the nose and the wide mouth, not handsome, but righteous and awe-inspiring.
Such a look should be a loyal minister of the country in the script, upright, upright, and upright, and incompatible with treacherous and evil. Whenever he dared to speak out in the palace, the emperor didn't listen, hugged his head and hit the pillar, and it was not uncommon for blood to be splashed with gold bricks.
Meng glanced at Chen Ying and the others, who were talking eloquently, and couldn't help but pout. If they are on the righteous side, what have they become? The traitorous ministers who have brought disaster to the country and the people are first-class, and the ministers are a faction, should they be put on the pillar of shame in history?
Listen, privately intercept tribute, disrespectful; for the sake of impropriety, personal morality, oppression of the good; did not promote education, violated the law of Emperor Tai-Zugao, lured the people with profits, privately set the amount of salt to attract grain, and filled his private pockets. With the Marquis of Dingyuan, he gave money privately, made friends with the prince, and had all kinds of bad intentions.
One by one, the fierce words and the viciousness of the intentions are really visible.
If you sit down, you will be killed in three words.
Meng glanced at the emperor on the dragon chair, and wanted to remind Chen Ying and the others, if he wanted to join him, the first few charges alone were enough, and it was really unwise to involve Shen Xuan and Zhu Gaoxu brothers.
Didn't see the emperor's luck? Do these people want to accompany him to the court? Or is it that Chen Duxian is jealous and hateful to a certain point, and he desperately wants to go to the palace of Hades to join himself again?
Obviously unlikely.
When Chen Ying talked about all kinds of ambiguities between Xingningbo and Dingyuanhou, Meng hurriedly lowered his head and covered his mouth. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he was prepared to deal with it in advance, and he was afraid that he would rush out of the gang to punch Chen Ying.
What does it mean to use the goodness of Longyang as a cover and do bad things?
It's a slander! Lao Tzu is the real dragon yang...... Scratching your chin, such a reason for rebuttal doesn't seem quite right?
Shen Xuan was also frowning, his expression became more and more cold, looking at Chen Ying's gaze was not much different from looking at a dead person.
Chen Ying was still unconscious, and was still attacking vigorously, "If Xingningbo's generation, he is disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, mercenary, deceitful, and has bad intentions towards the court. ”
"Marquis Dingyuan didn't report it, he was suspected of being an accomplice, and he should be imprisoned!"
"King Zhao of Han does not admire the emperor's grace, does not respect his eldest brother, and privately befriends a party to guard, there is a suspicion of not being a minister, he should be pressed into the Zongren Mansion and train the ether - the order of the ancestors!"
Seeing the poor dagger, Chen Ying finally threw out his ultimate goal.
Crushing Meng to death and pulling Shen Xuan off the horse is just a means, just to pour a bucket of dirty water on Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui to clear the way for Zhu Gaochi to ascend to the crown prince.
This time, Chen Ying is out of the way, and she will never give up until she achieves her goal. Even at the risk of being exiled to the army, he has to gamble this time.
At this moment, Chen Ying is playing with fire.
The imperial court did not kill the imperial history with words, but Zhu Di was not Zhu Yunwen, he was really anxious, even if he had the umbrella of Tai-Zu Chengfa, he could still make the life of fighting him worse than death.
The direct execution organ, the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, the Ming brocade guard.
Don't look at the top handsome and chic, greet the guests who were invited to the edict, and turn into a fierce god in seconds. In this regard, Geng Xuan, who entered the second-palace, can definitely show up and say.
can be used as a knife by Zhu Di, proving that Chen Ying is not stupid. Before doing this, he had guessed that something would happen and that he might end up. But he had no way back.
Chen Ying knew what kind of person he was, since he was recalled by Guangxi, he has become a sharp blade in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and the number of people who died in his hands is unknown, and the enemy is no less than Meng Shao, who offended the civilian official group.
If the Son of Heaven wants to use him, he is the tool of the Son of Heaven to clean the court, once the Son of Heaven does not use him, in order to calm the anger of the ministers, there is only a dead end waiting for him. In all dynasties, cool officials and ministers have all ended up the same.
As long as the Son of Heaven has murderous intentions, no matter who it is, he will not be able to escape the last knife.
Even if the Son of Heaven doesn't kill him, no matter which King of Han or King Zhao ascends to the throne, he still won't be better.
When he was in the palace, Zhu Gaoxu looked at him unpleasantly in various ways, and after entering the court, he repeatedly expressed his undisguised disgust.
Chen Ying didn't want to die, she took 10,000 steps back, even if she couldn't save herself, she wanted to save her family.
Impeaching other courtiers, he had no pressure. How easy it is to say the word Yi people, in exchange for herself and her family, Chen Ying will have trouble sleeping.
After thinking hard, Chen Ying came to the conclusion that only when the prince who was close to the scholar and had a benevolent personality ascended the throne and had the skill of being a dragon, it was possible to protect himself and his family.
Chen Ying and Xie Jin and others support Zhu Gaochi for different reasons, but the ultimate goal is the same.
Xie Jin had disdained to associate with Chen Ying and his ilk, and given the current situation and the increasingly sacred heart of the Han king, King Zhao, he had to form a brief alliance with Chen Ying.
Again, there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests.
The Son of Heaven is the king of a country, and the crown prince is the prince of the country.
As long as the prince is promoted to the position of crown prince, they are not far from success.
In order to achieve the goal, Meng, who was very close to Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, unfortunately became the stepping board of Xie Jin and Chen Ying.
The reason why they found Meng was the same as Zhao Wei in the former Like who was exiled to Guizhou Dashan to teach, he had no background, no strong family strength, no in-laws to help, and offended most of the civil officials in the court, so there was no better candidate than him.
As for Meng's personal ability, Xie Jin reminded Chen Ying, but Chen Ying smiled contemptuously.
Even if Meng can knock down a few of them, he won't be his opponent!
If Meng dared to argue in front of the palace, it would be more in line with him. By the way, a few more big hats, even if the Son of Heaven wants to pardon him, it is impossible.
It would be even better if the Marquis of Dingyuan and the King of Han and King Zhao could be brought in! The stigma on them has been confirmed, and then people have made a lot of hype among the people, and there is no need for Xie Jin's backhand, and the position of the crown prince of the prince is firmly in hand.
The emperor has only three sons, and both of them are stigmatized, if he doesn't appoint the prince as the crown prince, who else can he appoint?
At that time, the work of the dragon will be headed by him!
Chen Ying thought well, if he changed his opponent, he would almost succeed. But he still underestimated Meng, and he also misestimated today's Zhu Gaoxu, and even missed Shen Xuan's reaction.
Therefore, Chen Duxian's tragedy can be fully expected.
After some impassionedness, Chen Ying and several people who came out to support him surrendered their hands together, "Your Majesty, please make a holy judgment!" ”
The emperor was silent, Chen Ying simply took off the black veil on his head, knelt on the ground, and paused.
"Your Majesty, please make a holy judgment and condemn the crime of Ningbo!"
Xie Jin and the others naturally looked forward to Chen Ying's success, and they all looked at Zhu Di with anticipation. Most of the generals and some Wenchen frowned at Chen Ying and the others who were kneeling on the ground, and they didn't think so.
What is this? Coercion of the Divine Will?
The historian who was responsible for recording the daily life of the Son of Heaven also had a momentary hesitation, who Chen Ying was, and the court knew it well. If it is recorded truthfully, with his identity as the imperial history, he will definitely get the name of the minister, which is too ridiculous! Who should those who died because of him go to justice?
Chen Ying kept kneeling on the ground for a long time.
Zhu Di's face was gloomy, and the jade gui in his hand was almost crushed.
None of the Chinese martial arts in the DPRK dared to speak out, and the Zhu Gaoji brothers, who stood under His Majesty Dan, also did not speak.
At this time, the most difficult thing is Zhu Gaochi.
Speak for Chen Ying? Dad will definitely shoot him to death, and he will be completely separated from his brother.
Intercede for Meng? It is tantamount to opposing the ministers who support him.
Zhu Gaochi was in a dilemma. He had anticipated such a situation and had conceived a solution, but now neither solution would be of any use, and no amount of words would pale in comparison.
If he had known in advance, he would definitely find a way to stop Chen Ying from reconciling Jin. But when he learned the details, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di, and most of the courage that had just risen disappeared. He didn't look back, and he could fully expect what kind of eyes the two younger brothers were looking at him now.
For Meng, Zhu Gaochi had a little unbearability and guilt. Of the whole thing, the most innocent is Hinningbo. But in the court, caught in a power struggle, no one has a choice.
Take a step back, and you will be on a cliff.
Zhu Di didn't retreat, so he forced Zhu Yunwen to jump off the cliff.
Zhu Gaochi didn't want to be the same as Zhu Yunwen, so he couldn't retreat.
Zhu Gaoxu's face was ugly, and Zhu Gaosui's face was even more ugly, glaring at Chen Ying and the others, as if he was going to cut them with a thousand knives and crush their bones.
If it weren't for the pressure from the father, the brothers would be afraid that they would rush over as soon as possible and punch Chen Ying with an old fist.
If you don't die, you have to be disabled!
This old puppet is really damned!
Finally, Zhu Di spoke.
"Hinningbo."
Hearing the call of the Son of Heaven, Meng immediately stepped out and said respectfully: "The minister is here." ”
"Chen Yushi's words, do you have any justification?"
"Back to His Majesty, the minister still has a few things unclear, I want to ask Chen Yushi face to face, after asking, the minister will not quibble about the responsibility of the minister. Please give your grace. ”
"I'm right."
"Your Majesty!"
Zhu Di nodded, Meng turned to Chen Ying, but before he could speak, Chen Ying opened his mouth first and scolded, "Shaft!" Above the Golden Palace, what do you have to say? ”
"Chen Duxian is not in a hurry, what will happen to this official, he should obey the holy judgment. Since the Son of Heaven has given permission, he also asked Chen Duxian to solve his official's questions. Meng Qi was calm and relaxed, and was not affected by Chen Ying at all, "There are three things that the official wants to ask Chen Duxian, one of which is that Chen Duxian lives in Nanjing, how do you know about the affairs of the north?" ”
Chen Ying sneered, as if mocking Meng's knowingly questioned, "It is the responsibility of the imperial history to supervise hundreds of officials, and Xing Ningbo's words are ridiculous." ”
"Oh." Meng nodded, "The second thing, how did Chen Duxian know about the border army's departure?" How to insist that the army is transferred without an order? ”
"Joke!" Chen Ying said contemptuously, "The imperial court has no will, and the chief military officer has not been sent to hang the seal, and the ministers know it!" This official is in Nanjing, but there is a report from the Beijing patrol according to the imperial history, Xingningbo still saves some effort, and does not want to try to quibble! ”
"Yes, I understand." Meng nodded again, without the slightest nervousness, and paused deliberately before he said, "Although the imperial court has no clear will, it has the will of the Son of Heaven." Military operations are a matter of secrecy, during the Hongwu period, the king of Kaiping and the king of Zhongshan were sent troops by order, but Chen Duxian forgot? ”
Chen Ying raised her head violently, looking at Meng with eyes that were almost devouring.
"Why, Chen Duxian thinks that the Son of Heaven can't transfer the army?" Meng sneered, "Who is the big disrespectful?" ”
"Minister...... Can't! ”
Since Meng Dare raised the middle decree in the palace, it naturally would not be a false divine will, and the more Chen Ying said, the more wrong he was.
Seeing that Chen Ying had nothing to say for a while, Meng made persistent efforts, and finally let this guy step into the trap, how could he be allowed to jump out!
"This third thing, the official wants to ask, how did Chen Duxian insist that the official and the Marquis of Dingyuan privately give money, and secretly befriend the two highnesses? Is there any evidence? ”
"This official has his own evidence!"
"Really?" Meng looked at Chen Ying sideways, swept Xie Jin intentionally or unintentionally, and sneered, "Human evidence or physical evidence?" ”
"Natural ......"
As soon as she said two words, Chen Ying suddenly paused, and a cold sweat broke out on her head.
"Why didn't Chen Duxian continue? There is physical evidence that can be presented in court, and the official will never deny it. If you are a witness, the official wants to ask, the imperial history is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, but even the prince supervises together? Even if the imperial historian can impeach the prince for lawlessness, but without conclusive evidence and imperial decree, he can monitor the prince's every move? What is the rationale for this? Chen Duxian is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but it is not the Zongren Mansion, let alone the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department! ”
The words landed, and the fall in the hall could be heard.
Meng didn't argue too much about Chen Ying's impeachment of his crimes, and if he really defended Chen Ying one by one, he would be stupid enough to smoke.
After all, he did keep the military horses, and Shen Xuan's recent rewards were all received by him, and it is an indisputable fact that he corresponded with Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui. As for the small scale transaction, there is no need to argue about the amount of salt and grain to be privately determined.
The crops grown in the Frontier Military Tun and Shangtun are different, and the value is naturally different. If they are all exchanged according to the amount of one lead of namai, only a fool can do it. Emperor Yongle knew this. This is not a corruption and perversion of the law, but only to encourage merchants and merchants within a reasonable range to enrich more military rations. The entire border army system operates in this way, and if you dare to lift this cover, the town guards and commanders in various parts of the border area will be able to stand out from Chen Ying.
Standing upright and oppressing the clansmen is even more nonsense. When the name of his filial friend is fake? As long as you send someone to Mengjiatun, the truth will be revealed immediately. Even if Meng Guangxiao and Meng Qinghai want to be moths, with Meng Chongjiu and Meng Qingjiang and others, they will be pressed.
The rest is a good Longyang...... Touching his chin, this can also become a crime of impeachment, Meng Qinghai really didn't expect it. Rummaging through the Tai-Zu Chengfa and the Daming Law, they only stipulate that the same surname is not married, but they do not say that the same sex is not married.
These charges seem to be fatal, but it is not so easy to convict him and cut off his head.
According to Emperor Gao's principle of acting, we must always act according to the law.
Moreover, Chen Ying is too confident, and can even be said to be arrogant.
If you only fire at Meng, let Meng have hundreds of mouths, the lightest result will be demotion and loss of office. But he involved the emperor's righteous son and his parents, and tried in vain to catch them all, not to shoot others to death, but to jump into the deep well himself.
Don't say anything about it, in front of the emperor, saying that his godson has a bad character, his own son's words and deeds are inappropriate, and he lacks education, isn't this looking for a draw?
When he did not ascend the throne, Zhu Di was not only the vassal king of Northern Xinjiang, but also the right Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, and the third in command of the Zongren Mansion after King Zhu of the Jin Dynasty.
Saying that his son is not standing upright, but his virtue is not cultivated, isn't it a snap-snap-slap - slap Lao Tzu's face?
Meng glanced at Chen Ying again and shook his head secretly, this person's career is really a struggle with his life!
"Chen Ying."
Zhu Di's voice didn't fluctuate much, but it carried an invisible pressure, which made Chen Ying unable to raise her head.
"The minister is here."
"What did you say about what Xingningbo asked before?"
"Minister......
Chen Ying fell to the ground, his heart trembled, he didn't expect that Meng would be so difficult to deal with!
Xie Jin and others also had a number of expressions.
Do you really think that the official is invincible?
There is a central decree issued, which proves that the army's exit from the fortress is out of the will of the top, and if it is not reported to the imperial court, it must be a secret operation, and I am afraid that it is not even known about the imperial history of the Beijing patrol. Chen Ying spread out this matter, undoubtedly telling the emperor that he had someone in the north who was responsible for secret intelligence.
This is a taboo for Zhu Di.
Who does Chen Ying think she is? Jin Yiwei? Even if it is a Jinyi guard, he does not dare to install - insert - people at will without the edict of the Son of Heaven, and he is 100% looking for death.
What's more, it is the responsibility of the imperial history to picket hundreds of officials, but it is a felony to dare to monitor the prince!
Meng's correspondence with Zhu Gaoxu's brother was a personal relationship, and Chen Ying dared to give evidence, which confirmed his charge of contemplating the prince. took out the physical evidence, the content of the three people's letters was nothing ulterior, and there was a Jinyiwei report, Zhu Di already knew that Chen Ying really dared to take out one or two letters, that is, to privately intercept the letters of the prince and the second-class members of the imperial court, who gave him the power and courage?
Or did he want to rebel?
Chen Ying dug a pit and wanted Meng to fall in, but he didn't want Meng to be more proficient in this skill than him, so he finally fell into the pit and became Chen Ying himself.
People respect me, I respect people.
If someone offends me by an inch, I will cut off someone by two feet!
How to repay virtue with virtue? Repay grievances with straightforwardness, repay virtue with virtue!
The sage taught, Meng Shishilang never dared to forget. Chen Ying intended to put him to death, so he naturally wouldn't be polite to him.
If Chen Ying doesn't die, he will be the one who dies!
"Chen Ying, what else do you have to say?"
Zhu Di asked again, and Chen Ying had nothing to say except to kneel and pause.
"The minister is guilty!" Chen Ying lowered her head, and a touch of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, "But the ministers are really guilty of Xing Ningbo!" In particular, Xingningbo and Dingyuan Marquis privately gave money, plotting misdeeds, and the ministers have empirical evidence, please check your majesty! ”
Chen Ying knew that he was planted today, but he didn't forget to pull Meng when he was dying.
"Bold!"
Zhu Gaosui finally couldn't help it, and was about to step forward and kick Chen Ying hard, but was stopped by Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan stood up, and the court was quiet again.
Seven beams crown, sable scarf, wide-sleeved court clothes, cloud and phoenix four-color flower brocade ribbon, waist belt jade belt, standing tall, such as pine and cypress, jade face trimming, like a gentleman and fairy.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have a play."
