Chapter 1878: Dissension
This crying voice made the dormitory silent.
Jiajing saw Yan Song's last words: "Serving the country in his life is only loyal to Chi, and his death is right and wrong!" At this moment, my heart was attacked, and I felt a deep sense of guilt, and tears welled up in my eyes.
Not to mention that he knew in his heart that Yan Shifan had not committed the crime of being a thief, even if Yan Shifan was greedy for silver, it was Yan Shifan who was in charge of all this after all. This old minister can be said to be loyal to himself, and he responds to all kinds of requirements for himself, which can definitely match the sentence "Serving the country in his life is only loyalty".
It's just that now, this most loyal courtier died in a ruined temple and died quietly in such a desolate manner.
Xu Jie secretly swallowed and spit, and said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, most of the people are spreading falsehoods, and this matter should not be believed!" β
Huang Jin listened to Xu Jie's words, and nodded lightly in approval.
"Serving the country in his life is only loyal to Chi, and his death is right and wrong! Who do you say can write such a poem, and who can confide in such a heart, who else in this world but Weizhong? Jiajing first snorted coldly, and then raised the paper in his hand and asked angrily.
If he had doubts about this rumor before, but when he learned that Yan Song lived in the cemetery of Jieqiao Village, coupled with this desperate poem that was directly criticized, he knew that this rumor was 100% true.
Thinking about it further, things have already been pointed to, and someone is deliberately hiding Yan Song's death from him. If it weren't for Lin Haoran's impeachment and observance, he would probably still be in the dark, and he wouldn't know that the old minister who had been waiting for him for more than 20 years died in the broken temple.
"This ......" Xu Jie was also speechless for a while, and found that the matter could no longer be pushed to rumors.
Although there are many rumors among the people, and it is even rumored that Yan Song moved a bridge outside the city gate of Suzhou back to Jieqiao Village, it is usually full of flaws, and this kind of rumor with profound talent cannot really be a rumor.
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that this must be Yan Ge Lao's fateful poem. Since Yan Ge Lao was cut down to the people, he especially reported that he was greedy for 2 million taels, which made the people slander him a lot! Lin Haoran was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he immediately stood up and said.
Just now, he did propose that Jiajing issue an order to inquire about Jiangxi, but when he heard this fateful verse, he had already changed his attitude logically.
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that someone deliberately released fake news to confuse the public this time, and Yan Ge Lao should indeed die in the broken temple!" Zhu Xiaoxi also stood up and said.
"It's all a conspiracy, it's clearly calculating the old man!"
Xu Jie watched Lin Haoran and Zhu Xiaoxi jump out one after another, especially Zhu Xiaoxi stabbed him again, and finally smelled the smell of conspiracy.
He thought he had cleverly thrown out the rumor that "Yan Song took refuge in his protΓ©gΓ©", thinking that as long as he bit the rumor and kept spreading, then things could drag on for some time.
It's just that including this rumor, everything falls into the calculation of these three steps and one calculation.
What impeachment is observant, what is ordered to ask Jiangxi, and what is not about oneself are all smoke bombs.
This kid had already laid everything out, so Zhu Xiaoxi quickly smashed the first rumor, and was not in a hurry to throw out Yan Song's desperate verses, but just let him drill deeper into it.
With his previous remarks, I am afraid that in the emperor's heart, he already suspects that he is the one who spreads rumors, and he intends to hide the news of Yan Song's death.
Xu Jie knew that his power came from the emperor's favor, and once he lost the emperor's heart, then he was no better than Yan Song, so he couldn't help but look up at Jiajing with a weak heart.
Jiajing had already sat down in front of the bed, and his face was still sad: "Weizhong, he ...... He is a loyal servant, and he should not bear such infamy! β
This......
Huang Jin knew that Yan Song's death touched the emperor a lot, and he knew that the emperor had forgiven Yan Song, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Jie.
Xu Jie's mouth moved, but in the end, he didn't dare to speak.
Although he really wanted Yan Song to bear the infamy, he understood Jiajing's feelings for Yan Song, and he would only be blamed for standing up at this time.
The most important thing is that the close relatives with the emperor earlier have been diluted a lot, and they also feel that he has distanced himself from the emperor.
"The minister thinks that the culpability of Yan Ge Lao can be redefined, or he can be buried in Yan Ge Lao!" Lin Haoran originally sympathized with Yan Song, but now he was able to block Xu Jie, so he immediately stood up and proposed.
Xu Jie's heart sank, but he immediately accused: "Lin Shangshu, how can the law of the country be changed overnight!" β
If there is a mistake, why not correct it? Not to mention that Yan Ge should not cut his nationality, as far as this official knows, Yan Shifan did not sign and draw a pledge on the Tongwei Tongyu! Lin Haoran responded fearlessly.
Xu Jie's heart was cold, but he immediately asked sharply: "Lin Shangshu, Shifan's greed for two million taels of ink is an ironclad fact, don't you still want to overturn the case for him?" β
"Naturally, Xia Guan will not overturn the case for Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan should be ambushed, but this crime is up for debate!" Lin Haoran just liked to watch Xu Jie's thunderstorm, but he responded lightly.
It was Xu Jie's insistence on charging Yan Shifan with rebellion that involved Yan Song. In fact, Yan Shifan did not rebel, and this crime came from the hands of this kind-hearted Shoufu.
Xu Jie knew that this matter could not be taken seriously, but he gritted his teeth and said: "No matter how clever your tongue is, it can't erase the fact that the Yan family has seized two million taels!" β
They are not simple people, Xu Jie did not argue with Lin Haoran about Yan Shifan's crimes, but bit the stolen silver that was a full two hundred taels.
"Cheng Shoujie did claim to have seized two million taels of stolen silver, but he has not been escorted to Beijing so far, and the official now has reason to doubt the authenticity of this dirty silver, which is one of the reasons why the official insists on replacing him!" Lin Haoran once again pointed the finger at Cheng Shoujiedao.
Xu Jie found that this kid was really difficult, and emphasized in a deep voice: "The old man has already made it clear that this matter is the general ledger!" β
"Huh...... Since it is an account book, it may not be able to count, and this matter is suspected of slandering Yan Ge Lao! Lin Haoran responded with a smile.
Xu Jie clenched his fists tightly and accused angrily: "You are clearly picking a bone in an egg!" β
"It's just that there is a bone in this egg, and Cheng Shoujie is definitely not the person responsible for raiding the Yan family!" Lin Haoran seemed to stand and speak, and responded without a backache.
"Enough!"
Just as Xu Jie was about to argue, Jiajing's voice came from the dragon bed.
Xu Jie and Lin Haoran closed their mouths one after another, already waiting for Jiajing's instructions.
Jiajing's gaze swept over the two important ministers who were arguing, and then ordered Zhu Xiaoxi: "Commander Zhu, you quickly check the information of Yan Ge Lao and report it to Yu I as soon as possible!" β
"Obedience!" Zhu Xiaoxi immediately responded.
Jiajing's gaze re-examined the two disputed ministers, and his gaze kept wandering on the two.
Lin Haoran secretly swallowed and spit, although he planned everything, but after all, the emperor's heart was like the sea, and he didn't dare to be sure whether this time to sow discord would work.
Xijing's gaze left Lin Haoran, and finally fell on Xu Jie's body and said, "Elder Xu Ge! β
"The minister is here!" Xu Jie's mind was excited, and he immediately responded respectfully.
Jiajing stared at Xu Jie for a moment, and then said slowly: "I ...... Not old fools yet! β
As soon as these words came out, the cool bedroom suddenly dropped by several degrees, and frost appeared on the ground.
