Debating is both a matter of skill and timing.

When Sun Long chose to accuse Lin Haoran of spewing blood, Lin Haoran naturally submitted a request for investigation.

This not only showed his loyalty, but also successfully linked the scissors incident with the intention to murder the emperor, causing the nature of the Chongwenmen conflict to completely change.

As long as Lin Haoran did not falsify the scissors, then the investigation of this matter focused on the behind-the-scenes instructions that intended to transport hundreds of scissors into the city.

When Sun Long heard that Lin Haoran was going to completely make this matter bigger, he couldn't help but panic, and explained honestly: "Your Majesty, this is ...... There is a batch of goods brought into the city for others, which may ...... There may be scissors, but the small one has no intention of murdering the emperor, this matter is a misunderstanding! ”

As he spoke, he slammed his head on the floor to show that what he said was true.

It was already clear that the officials and eunuchs already had a batch of other people's goods among the palace purchases they brought into the city this time, and the hundreds of scissors were one of the other people's goods.

For the court, scissors were naturally a kind of tube. It's just that for the people of Beijing, this is a must-have thing for every family, and it is one of the best-selling goods.

Ay!

When Huang Jin heard this, he looked at Sun Long with hatred.

Since it is designed by Lin Haoran, it is necessary to do things without leakage, rather than giving people such a big handle. Isn't it nonsense that these people are not transporting any good goods, but they are transporting hundreds of scissors?

Chen Hong and Sun Long have always been at odds with each other, but they did not let go of this opportunity, and immediately fell into the well and said: "Sun Long, regardless of whether what you said is true or not!" You dare to use the pretext of purchasing sacrifices from the Huo De Xingjun Dojo for the emperor to carry goods into the city for illegal merchants, but I don't know who is running amok in the name of the emperor? ”

Faced with this accusation, Sun Long seemed to realize something, and his face turned white.

Although Jiajing is old, he has always defended his dignity as emperor, and he also realized that he had deceived Sun Long, but he asked expressionlessly: "Sun Long, who allowed you to bring private goods into the city?" ”

"Your Majesty, the little one knows that he is wrong, please forgive me!" Sun Long knew that this time he was lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot, so he immediately hurriedly begged for mercy.

Huang Jin looked at Sun Long who was kneeling on the ground, but shook his head gently, he was really "stupid and untreatable".

Jiajing's eyes closed slowly, and he had always adhered to a set of principles in dealing with things, but he ordered lightly: "Drag it down,...... Rod! ”

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Spare your life! The slave is really unintentional, he really doesn't want to murder the emperor! Sun Long's tears fell like a kite with a broken string, and his voice changed along with it, and he knocked heavily on the ground and begged for mercy.

It's just that he can't grasp the point anymore. In fact, everyone knew that he would not murder Jiajing, but by taking advantage of the authority of the internal officials and supervisors to smuggle goods for others, he still made such a big move, which already angered Jiajing.

Sun Long was escorted away by the guards who came up, and his crotch was already wet.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Spare your life! ”

Sun Long looked farther and farther away from Jiajing, knowing that his vitality was getting smaller and smaller. At this moment, he was extremely remorseful in his heart, he should not have been involved in the political struggle of the court, let alone played such a flawed cleverness.

Lin Haoran, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but swallow and spit secretly when he saw Sun Long dragged away from him.

Although he saved the day this time, he still felt a burst of hair in his heart when he listened to Jiajing's proficiency in the words "cane death", and watched what happened to Sun Long.

The palm prints of the internal officials and supervisors, who were still alive just now, fell from heaven to hell just because of Jiajing's two words, and they also felt the horror of imperial power more truly. 678

It's just that he really can't have too much sympathy for Sun Long's experience. If he hadn't caught the presence of scissors in the cargo, he didn't know if he could survive this catastrophe smoothly, and it would have been him, the head of the household, who had even been dragged out.

Jiajing was like disposing of a disobedient cat and dog, and said in a gentle tone: "Lin Aiqing, get up!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" Lin Haoran saluted respectfully, and then stood up with his kneeling legs.

The two bead curtains were pulled up, but Jiajing was still leaning on the head of the bed, and said leisurely: "I know that it is not easy for you to be in charge of the household, you can do a good job with peace of mind, and I will not treat you badly!" ”

After so many changes in the household department, he also deeply knows that it is not easy to find a qualified household secretary, and it is even more difficult to find such an excellent household secretary as Lin Haoran.

Since Lin Haoran did not despise the emperor's authority this time, then he did not necessarily pursue Lin Haoran again, but should treat Yang Bo with more grace.

"Thank you for the emperor's compassion, and the minister will do his best to share the emperor's worries!" Lin Haoran knew that he had survived this catastrophe unharmed, and immediately responded loyally.

Jiajing nodded with satisfaction, and said in a meaningful voice: "The clouds are in the blue sky, the water is in the bottle, you go down!" ”

"The minister retires, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Lin Haoran didn't really understand the deep meaning of these words, so he bowed respectfully and left the tunnel.

As he left the dormitory and walked towards the door, a cold sweat was already on his back.

Whether you are in the court or in this palace, you already need to be extra cautious. Especially in this Jiajing Dynasty, the life of this eunuch is not valuable, and the life of their civil servants has not become so noble.

Leaving from Wanshou Palace, he did not go to Wuyi Palace, but walked towards the palace gate, walking alone on the palace road.

Sun Long's screams came from behind the palace walls, and Lin Haoran suddenly thought of the officials who were killed by the rod in Zuo Shunmen, Yan Shifan, who was beheaded in Xishi that day, and Guo Xiyan, an official of the Ministry of Rites, who was executed for Shangshu's request for King Liyu to be the crown prince.

If you talk about the most dangerous period of Ming officials, I am afraid it should be this Jiajing Dynasty with constant struggles.

Sun Long's screams suddenly fell silent, but Lin Haoran stopped and turned to look at the Wanshou Palace built by Xu Jie's father and son, which was bathed in the afternoon sun.

The square in front of the Xiyuan Palace, the sun will dry here.

Lin Fu had been guarding the palace gate against the sun, and when he saw Lin Haoran appear, his face was first ecstatic, and then he confirmed seriously: "Uncle Nineteen, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine!" Lin Haoran met his concerned gaze, but reluctantly responded.

When Lin Fu heard this answer, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said indignantly: "That Hai Rui is the head of the elm, he should really be killed!" ”

"The root is not in him!" Lin Haoran said something meaningless.

Lin Furuo realized: "Uncle Nineteen, you mean ......?"

"We need to speed up our movements, we can't always be so passive!" Lin Haoran knew that he was fortunate to have scissors to make a fuss this time, but he made a decision authentically.

Lin Fu knew what Lin Haoran was referring to, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a bright light, and he nodded solemnly.

June is a stormy season, and it was still a sunny day, but black clouds suddenly appeared in the east, rolling towards the city of Beijing.
