519: Born at the wrong time
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out why the Holy Lord asked him to say, could it be that he wanted to use Mingle Hou to beat them?
Of course, Nalan Jinxiu didn't bother to care what they thought, she continued to say in a questioning tone: "The king of Zhenbei is upright and has no second thoughts about Daning. You keep saying that he harbors evil intentions, but there is evidence? If there is no evidence, you are slandering!"
"The cavalry cultivated by the Xuanjia Army is so strong in combat. If he hadn't been selfish, this army wouldn't have returned to Zhenbei Wangfu, a wild land in northern Xinjiang, and at most it could only be used as a horse training farm for our Daning. ”
Nalan Jinxiu sneered: "Because the Xuanjia Army is strong, you say that the Zhenbei Wangfu has a heart of disobedience." Then do you want the soldiers of Daning to be like your government soldiers, pampered and have no combat effectiveness? You are not self-motivated, and you have to ask others to be the same as you, what kind of reasoning is it?"
"Barbarian, I don't care about you in general!" The person who spoke was a doctor who was important in the court, and he was also made quite cramped by Nalan Jinxiu's merciless words.
"You said that Northern Xinjiang can only be a horse training farm in Daning, do you want everyone in Northern Xinjiang to become slaves?"
Nalan Jinxiu knew that she would say one sentence less, so she had to say everything in her heart. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, after all, some of them were sober and wanted to be born in Daning.
She hoped that her words would make a difference to these people. Even if they leave a seed of doubt in their hearts, they suspect that they are wrong to attack northern Xinjiang, and suspect that what those in power are doing is wrong.
"Isn't it natural that people are born with three, six, nine, and so on, and all the adults also have slaves in their mansions?"
"Then I want to ask your lordship, is Northern Xinjiang part of Daning?"
"Of course. ”
"Have you forgotten that the people who live in the barbarian land are also the people of Daning, and they should be treated fairly. It's not that you can't be a slave, but the rule of being a slave can't only be up to you. ”
The man's face became very ugly, and his tone was sarcastic: "Of course I said it doesn't count, it must be said by the saint." ”
This person has also been in the officialdom for many years, and now it is almost the time to return to his hometown, so he naturally hopes that his wife will return to old age peacefully.
He usually doesn't offend people, and he is also the best at reading people's faces. I thought that Nalan Jinxiu was young and would definitely be deterred by their momentum, so he came out and said a few words.
I didn't expect this young man to be so sharp-tongued, and after he said a few words, he felt that he was going to fall behind. So he had an idea and turned the tone of conversation to Emperor Yonglong.
The sky is mighty, and he doesn't believe that this young man can still turn over flowers.
"The whole world is not the king's land, and all the people in Daning are servants of the saints, which is of course understandable. But what I want to say is that the people of Northern Xinjiang don't want to be the lowest slaves, and there should be nothing wrong with that!"
The words have already reached the head of Emperor Yonglong, and he is still as immobile as a mountain. The counselor naturally couldn't admit defeat, otherwise his old face would have no place to go: "Xiao thinks about things that don't belong to him, this is a sin." ”
"How do I remember that there is still a saying in our Daning that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. ”
"You ......"
Nalan Jinxiu looked at him with a blue face, pointed at her hand and kept trembling, and smiled: "Why, there is nothing to say, isn't it, then it is better to let the Holy Lord listen to me!"
Nalan Jinxiu knelt straight on the ground, leaned forward with his hands and bowed, and said in a dumb voice: "The villain has a few words to say, and I hope that the saint will be fulfilled." ”
"Speak. ”
"The king of Zhenbei died in the battle of Beijiang but did not get any title, and the Zhenbei Wangfu did not receive any compensation so far, and I hope that the saint will have mercy. ”
Emperor Yonglong's expression did not move, and his eyes turned to the Yan official standing below. Smart people know that if the Zhenbei Wangfu is rewarded at this time, it will be difficult to do it to them again. Otherwise, the saint will definitely have a reputation for treating meritorious heroes harshly.
The person who came into contact with Emperor Yonglong's eyes naturally couldn't pretend not to see it at this time, so he stubbornly came out: "As a subordinate, you should do your best, so it is unheard of to ask for a reward." ”
Nalan Jinxiu still knelt up straight: "Daning is a vast country, if it weren't for the border soldiers from all over the country who guarded it with their lives and blood, how could the adults of Jinling City have the opportunity to enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world here?
It has been a long time since there has been such a situation in the court, not because there is no dispute, but because they have ghosts, they are all fighting in secret, but they are all at peace on the surface.
Emperor Yonglong is also a wise person, otherwise he would not have stood out from the princes back then. It's just that he is suspicious by nature and doesn't trust anyone enough, so he always practices the art of balancing, trying to let the various forces in the court contain each other.
But the older he gets, the less energetic he becomes. In addition, Zong Xuanyi was powerful, so he had to cultivate the cabinet and support Ji Hongye to contain him.
Although the effect is obvious, he also found that the two parties are powerful and contain each other, but he is gradually being hollowed out. Now this situation in the court is a proper circle of ministers, and he can gradually feel that he is powerless.
Nalan Jinxiu's words just now have already pointed the finger at the courtiers who are pointing at Daning's retirement. They usually can turn a blind eye, but now it involves the old face, and if they don't make a sound, there will be no place for this face.
So the foaming war began again, and one by one the old ministers quoted scriptures and classics, and what they said was called a group of passionate feelings. Nalan Jinxiu is not afraid at all, she has read so many books, and she has heard and seen by the third brother's side, so she naturally has more words to deal with these people.
Just after an old minister said another tirade, Emperor Yonglong spoke. He got up from the dragon chair and walked down the high steps.
Footsteps stopped in front of Nalan Jinxiu, he leaned over to look at her, turned his gaze to the group of old ministers, and asked, "Is what he said wrong?"
Those old ministers looked at each other, their faces became more and more ugly one by one, of course they couldn't admit that what Nalan Jinxiu said was right. But the Holy One has already spoken, is it possible that they should continue to refute?
This is the Ninety-Five Supreme, and now standing in front of them, even if he lends them ten more guts, they really don't dare!
Emperor Yonglong seemed to be satisfied with the silence of the crowd, and he walked up the steps step by step, and sat on the dragon chair, which symbolized the king's power. Looking at the people below with a bird's-eye attitude, he said calmly: "Mingle Hou, are you guilty?"
"I wonder which sin the Holy One is talking about?"
"Oh?"
"If the saint had broken the face of the ministers because I had said too much in front of the emperor, I would have confessed to the crime. But if I stole the things of the Thirteen Princes, I would never recognize them. ”
"You said that Tang Guiren wronged you?"
"The villain doesn't dare, since Tang Guiren said that something was lost, it must have been lost, but the thief must be someone else. ”
"Do you have the evidence to identify someone else?"
Nalan Jinxiu shook his head: "Naturally, no, but the gentleman has something to do and something not to do." The villain vouches for his personality and has absolutely no stealing anything from the Thirteen Princes. ”
"Personality can still be a vouch?" someone said in a sarcastic tone.
Nalan Jinxiu was not annoyed at all, she was just waiting for this sentence. So she leaned down again and made a sincere fear: "The villain's personality may not be enough to make everyone believe, so it's better to let Tang Guiren come up with evidence to see how she identified me as a thief." ”
As soon as she said this, Zong Xuanyi, who had been lively for a long time, couldn't help but chuckle. He stood out from among the ministers and whispered, "Speaking of which, it is an accusation without evidence, isn't this equivalent to a farce?"
"Just because there is no evidence for the time being doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. According to Weichen, it is better to put Mingle Hou in the prison of the Criminal Department first, and file a case for investigation and punishment. ”
This time, Nalan Jinxiu did not fight. It's not that she doesn't want to fight, it's not that she can't fight, it's that she doesn't want to have a pointless dispute anymore.
Emperor Yonglong wanted to find an excuse to imprison her because she was outside the palace and was not under his control. As for what will happen if you are locked up, it seems that it is not difficult to guess. It was probably tortured to extract a confession and make her tell the secret of the Shocking Cloud Order.
Even so, it is useless for her to say more. She knew that her future was worrying, and she only hoped that what she had just said could awaken people who still had a conscience and give Northern Xinjiang one more chance to survive.
Emperor Yonglong was still high above, and he cherished the young man kneeling below. Not because of the side, but because of his character and talent. However, he can only be blamed for being born at the wrong time.
"Put you in the prison of the Criminal Department first, do you have any complaints?"
"Nope. Nalan Jinxiu's attitude this time was neither humble nor arrogant: "But it is up to the saint to deal with it." ”
After the early dynasty dispersed, Sun Wenjie caught up with Ji Hongye and got into the carriage with a dead face. He looked anxious: "Do you really want to ignore it? Don't forget that it's your wife!"
"I wrote a letter of resignation a long time ago, and now I have nothing to do with her. ”
"You, how can you be so ruthless? You also saw it today in the morning court, and they obviously deliberately wronged people. ”
"The general trend is the same, and you and I are not the only ones who see the situation. ”
"Then we really don't care?"
"She's just in the prison of the Criminal Department, what do you have to worry about?"
Ji Hongye's words are on point. With Nalan Jinxiu's current identity, there is danger all the time. The dozen or so people she brought from the northern Xinjiang, although all of them were extraordinary, could not withstand the wheel war of everyone.
When the contradiction is not sharp, each way also takes into account the other party, and it is always necessary to be more restrained. What happened this morning is adding fuel to the fire, so that what was hidden in the shadows has completely floated to the surface.
Therefore, no one will be polite next, and even faster than anyone else, so that they can get the Shocking Cloud Order first. Thinking about it like this, the prison of the Criminal Department is indeed the safest place for her......
