Chapter 1895: Long Yan
At the gate of Xiyuan Palace, dozens of officials in wet clothes came to the palace gate, all with grief and indignation on their faces, and made a request to the eunuchs at the palace gate to face the saint.
In the face of this large group of officials, even those who are powerless, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army personally led a well-equipped Royal Forest Army to strictly guard here.
The little eunuch immediately ran on the palace road, and after a while, he ran back, but he conveyed the holy will and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor ordered you to go back to take care of the funeral of Wu Ge Lao as soon as possible, and the emperor will not see anyone today!" ”
"Please see the emperor, the minister is unwilling!"
Lin Haoran immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly in the direction of Wanshou Palace.
His father-in-law obviously died of poisoning, and the biggest suspect was undoubtedly someone from Xu Jie's side, but he turned out to be deceitful nonsense such as a sudden illness.
Whether it was to seek justice for his father-in-law or to bring his father-in-law's murderer to justice, he could not accept this unclear death.
"Please see the emperor, the ministers are unwilling!"
Yang Futian and the others were also very sad in their hearts, and they also knelt on the ground together to express their demands loudly.
Their mentor's body has always been healthy, but this time he obviously died of poisoning, but it turned out that Wu Shan was infected with a serious disease, which made them extremely unwilling.
With the fermentation of Wu Shan's death, not only Wu Shan's protégés knelt here at this time, but also many officials who respected Wu Shan, and there were many Lin Haoran's protégés.
The voices of nearly a hundred people shouted in unison, although they were separated by the heavy palace walls, they were full of anger at the moment, but they tried their best to spread their grief and anger to the Wanshou Palace.
In the hall of Wanshou Palace, sandalwood curls up from the copper furnace, filling every corner of the place.
Jiajing, who was half-lying on the soft collapse, was about to rest, as if he heard a voice outside, but suddenly sat up and said, "Did you hear that?" ”
Hey?
When Xu Jie and the others heard this, they first shrugged their ears, and then their faces showed confusion. Although they seemed to hear some voices, they were indistinct and could not hear what they were saying at all.
Jiajing's eyes seemed to be able to pass through the palace walls, and he looked in a certain direction and said, "They think I'm old, they mistakenly think I'm old!" ”
When he said this, the emperor of hundreds of millions of people was like a lion that could erupt at any moment, staring at a certain place with a solemn gaze.
"Master, you ...... You okay? Huang Jin looked at Jiajing, who was suddenly stunned, but asked cautiously.
Xu Jie saw Jiajing's reaction in his eyes, and looked thoughtfully in the direction of Jiajing's gaze. It's just that this direction is not the palace gate, but the Zuoshun Gate of the Forbidden City, which is a place where the Zuo Shunmen bloody case was staged.
"Your Majesty, Lin Shangshu and the others refused to leave, knelt in front of the palace gate and begged to be summoned, and officials came one after another!" A little eunuch rushed in and reported to Jiajing.
"It's the opposite, he's really the opposite, they're really the opposite! What I could have done forty years ago, I can do today! Jiajing heard that the officials didn't dare to leave, but he laughed miserably.
Xu Jie's heart moved slightly, and he immediately stood up and persuaded: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, Lin Shangshu and Wu Shan are sons-in-law, I'm afraid I want to ask for justice for Wu Ge Lao!" ”
Jiajing seemed to be on fire with a gasoline can, but he said cruelly: "Justice? What justice? Did he just want the whole world to come to see my jokes, and let people accuse Wu Shan of dying for my trial, and I was almost plotted by White Lotus last night? ”
In anger, he no longer had the slightest scruples, and he also spoke his heart.
This......
Huang Jin looked at Jiajing's reaction, and finally understood why Xu Jie proposed that Wu Shan died of a sudden evil disease, and why the emperor would silently agree, daring to love the big problem involving the emperor's son.
"The ministers can enjoy today's wealth, thanks to the emperor's gift, how can they do something unjust to trap the emperor! If someone wants to bear the infamy of killing Wu Ge Lao, the old minister is willing to take this responsibility, and he will not give people the opportunity to slander the monarch's father behind his back! Xu Jie's eyes were full of tears again, and he immediately knelt down to express his loyalty.
has been with Jiajing for more than 20 years, and he has already pinched Jiajing's character. This emperor is stubborn, but he is extremely good-looking, and many times he doesn't need to be reasonable, but he wants to show him his "loyalty".
Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie approvingly, this was the courtier he needed, not those Qingliu who only thought about the world, but commanded with a gloomy face: "Where is Lu Yi?" ”
"Wechen is here!" As the deputy commander of the Ouchi and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lu Yi had already waited outside the hall, and when he heard the call, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said.
Jiajing looked at Lu Yi in the hall, and faintly saw the shadow of Lu Bing in the past, but asked in a deep voice: "How is your loyalty better than your father?" ”
"The minister, like his father, is loyal to the emperor!" Lu Yi was no longer a stunned young man who had just entered the officialdom, and immediately responded.
Jiajing nodded with satisfaction, but asked with the intention of assessment: "Today, there are a group of courtiers who have brushed off my intentions, and even want to persecute me, what do you say?" ”
"Minister...... Foolishness! Lu Yi originally wanted to return a "kill", but he thought it was not appropriate, so he had to respond with the words of panacea.
Jiajing's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he said with a hint of blame and nostalgia: "If it is your father, then he doesn't need to open his mouth!" ”
"Please ask the emperor to make it clear!" Lu Yi knew that he really didn't have his father's decisive courage, so he had to continue to show loyalty and say loudly.
Jiajing knew that Lu Yi was not Lu Bing after all, so he asked lightly: "Have you ever heard of Zuo Shunmen's incident back then!" ”
"Minister...... I've heard of it! Lu Yi secretly swallowed and spit, but still responded stubbornly.
How did he not know about this, that time, because the current emperor wanted to respect his grandfather's father as the first emperor, it caused the former first assistant Yang Tinghe to oppose the emperor's excessive respect for his biological father, and then ran to Zuoshunmen to cry.
Among them, a huge team of more than 200 people, including 23 people from Jiuqing, 20 people from Hanlin, 21 people from the matter, and 30 people from the imperial envoy, collectively knelt outside the Zuoshun Gate.
Jiajing, who was only 18 years old, ordered Jinyiwei to arrest these ministers, and more than 180 people were roded, of whom 17 were wounded to death, and the other 8 were formed into the army.
Jiajing seems to have returned to the willful and reckless young son of heaven, or he has not changed for many years, but he gave an order: "Pass on my oracle, order all the officials outside the palace to disperse quickly, I am not to blame for the past!" If you are obsessed with it, you will not be spared, and everyone will give the court staff! ”
"Your Majesty, does it include Lin Shangshu?" Lu Yi felt the murderous intent of the old emperor, but he still couldn't help but ask.
Jiajing said with a gloomy face: "If your father wouldn't ask such a question!" ”
"Obey the order!" Lu Yi was a spirit, knowing that he had asked the wrong thing, and immediately gave up.
He had already felt Jiajing's strong attitude, and he also knew that there was no room for negotiation in this matter. Even if Wu Shan was poisoned by Xu Jie's side, the emperor was unwilling to bear the responsibility of a loyal minister who took medicine and died, and he needed to save his face.
