"Huang Menqing, the shopkeeper of Renyi Hall, held his ancestral prescription for tetanus, and asked the Liu family for fifty taels plus his innocence, which was learned by the patient Mrs. Zhang, and decided to burn charcoal to die in order to protect her daughter-in-law's chastity. Although Huang Menqing did not murder Mrs. Zhang with his own hands, he caused Mrs. Zhang to find a short-sightedness, and he was the culprit of Mrs. Zhang's death...... Huang Menqing was sentenced to exile of 3,000 miles and to Leizhou. ”

Jiajing was talking to Yan Ne, his eyes were not idle, but he carefully read the file sent by the Criminal Department in the interval, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

He found that this case was not as absurd as the officials led by Gao Yao pointed out, and Lin Haoran's judgment did not disregard human life, but seemed very reasonable.

Although Huang Langzhong did not kill Mrs. Zhang with his own hands, if you trace the source, it was indeed because of Huang Langzhong, and it is not too much to sentence Huang Langzhong to exile.

Although Jiajing is autocratic, he has experienced the spirit and deeds of his first ascension to the throne, and he has slowly become mature. He knows that if you want to govern a country well, it is never a simple matter of right or wrong, but to follow a rule, such as maintaining the ancestral system is a good example.

At the moment, facing Yan Ne, who was very dependent, he asked directly: "Yan Aiqing, do you know about the recent uproar in the case of Lin Fuyin's trial of Huang Langzhong?" ”

"Wechen has heard a little!" Yan Ne collected the excitement caused by the promotion, and replied honestly.

Jiajing nodded lightly, and asked seriously: "Yan Aiqing, in your opinion, is it appropriate for this case to be judged like this?" ”

Huang Jin and others were also curious, and they had already heard about the controversy of this case, so they all looked at Yan Ne, wondering what the opinion of this court minister was.

Yan Ne's heart was secretly happy, he had just prepared a recital to impeach Lin Haoran in the Wuyi Palace, and now he found that even the procedure of sparseness had been saved, so he replied with a straight face: "This move is not appropriate!" ”

It's not right!

Although these four words are not very good, the tone is very firm, echoing in the palace of Nuoda.

Huang Jin didn't react when he heard this answer, but Feng Bao, who was helping to polish the ink on the side, suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and looked at Yan Ne with a hint of distress in his eyes.

Jiajing was slightly surprised in his heart, but asked with a calm look on his face: "Yan Aiqing, what's wrong!" ”

"There are three reasons!" Yan Ne had already studied this case very deeply before, and at this time he raised three fingers and said categorically.

Jiajing suddenly became a little interested and made a listening gesture. Although he has always been self-serving, he is also a good listener, and he is never sloppy with some professional opinions, and his eyes fall directly on Yan Ne.

Yan Ne looked at the emperor and was already interested, and said aloud with great encouragement: "First, there are no rules, and officials should be aware of the law, rather than arbitrarily judging cases; Second, the theory of cause and effect is not credible, Mrs. Zhang's suicide and Huang Langzhong's forcing the Liu family should not be confused; Third, the Ming Dynasty pays attention to filial piety, and the Liu family helps Mrs. Zhang to find death, which is not filial piety. ”

These three points are very clear, but they look at this case from another angle, which undoubtedly gives people a new way of thinking.

This......

Feng Bao's brows were furrowed, but he looked at Yan Ne dumbfounded, and found that this Yan Mazi was really not a fuel-efficient lamp. just heard a cough next to him, looked up and saw Huang Jin staring at him, and immediately lowered his head and continued to grind ink.

Jiajing stroked his beard lightly, and found that Yan Ne's three points were not untargeted, and there was indeed something wrong with this case, so he asked again: "Then according to your opinion, how should it be sentenced!" ”

Yan Ne originally made an impassioned statement, but he was slightly stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted quickly: "If the law is judged by etiquette, the Liu family should be punished for unfilial piety!" ”

This was a clever strategy to avoid the controversial Huang Langzhong and instead point the finger at Liu.

Jiajing nodded lightly and said, "I know!" Yan Aiqing, go down! ”

"Wechen retires!" Yan Ne saw that the goal had been achieved, and that the emperor had asked him about this matter, and knew that the result must be good or bad, so he immediately respectfully bowed.

As for Lin Haoran's whereabouts, he couldn't make an accurate guess. But he is very sure of one thing, after he has "fallen into the well" like this, a rising political star has been destroyed by his own hands.

Walking out of the Wanshou Palace, he was exposed to the sun, but he felt that the weather was unprecedentedly good. Against the scorching sun above his head, a rich smile appeared on his face.

He was a Jinshi in Jiajing for 20 years, and he was despised by his colleagues because of his pockmarked face. But who would have thought that not only was he not eliminated from the Hanlin Academy, but he walked step by step from the Hanlin Shuji to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was even only one step away from the elder of the pavilion.

At this moment, he finally took a crucial step, from the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Rites, becoming the six Shangshu of the Ming Dynasty, in charge of the Ming Dynasty's rituals.

Yan Ne wanted to raise his head and smile, but he knew that he couldn't be happy now, and this was not the place to be happy, so he suppressed the surging excitement and walked outside the palace.

"Min Qing (Yan Ne's character), you are now in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and you can still find time to write green words for the saint, which is really admirable?" Yuan Wei was pretentious, and when he met Yan Ne, he said in a weird manner.

There has never been a shortage of fighting in the court, the Yan Party and the Xu Party are mortal enemies, and there is also discord within the small group known as the "Four Phases of Green Words" by later generations.

"Elder Yuan Ge, you have misunderstood! It was not that the lower officials came to please the saint, but that the saint specially summoned him, so he had to come! There are many affairs in the Ministry of Rites, but you are not as idle as you are, and the next official resigned first! Yan Ne replied neither softly nor hard, and then gave up his hand and left.

Hey?

Yuan Wei looked at Yan Ne's figure striding away, and faintly felt that this Yan Mazi had lost the good temper that he had in the past, and he already had a lot of hard energy on his body.

After a little speculation, he guessed that this person was probably ascending to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and had already become a big figure in this dynasty. Just thinking about Yan Mazi's attitude just now, he couldn't help but feel a ball of anger in his heart.

Among the four masters of Qingzi, he is the one who writes the best Qingci, and he is also the only minister, and he is the most favored person of the saint, but he knows his own warmth and coldness.

Although he is a cabinet elder, the power to vote is firmly held in the hands of Yan Song and Xu Jie. The essence of his situation has not changed much from before, and his main job is to help the saint write green words, and his power is not as good as Guo Pu, who served as the secretary of the ministry.

Now Yan Mazi, who has just ascended to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, can be so disrespectful to him, and it may not be easy for him to suppress the always strong Guo Pu to ascend to the position of first assistant.
