Chapter 1736: Dong Fen's Tribulation
In the Wanshou Palace, sandalwood rises and fills every corner of this hall.
A copy of the case was placed in front of Jiajing, but the handwriting on it was clearly written: "The Weichen Criminal Department gave Ouyang Yijing in the matter, last year Nanjing Yushi Lin Run exposed Yan Shifan's lawlessness, and the emperor ordered Yan Shifan to be arrested in Beijing, and the Yan family was deeply afraid of defeat, so they ordered the slaves to transport a large sum of gold and silver to the Dong Mansion in Wucheng County, Zhejiang Province in several carriages, and the Dong Mansion family received all of them. Dong Fen learned about this and exposed the evil deeds of the Yan family, but tried to rescue the ...... Yan Shifan, a thief who is a thief who is a thief, how can he solve it because of wealth? Today's Ministry of Officials Zuo Lang Dong Fen's move violates the law of the country, and also loses the duty of the courtier, ignoring the safety of the country. ”
Hundreds of words were sprinkled, and the spearhead was directly pointed at the left servant of the Ministry of Works, Dong Fen, which showed a monstrous killing intent.
Xu Jie, Dong Fen and Ouyang Yijing were standing respectfully in the hall, facing Emperor Jiajing who did not snort, Dong Fen and Ouyang Yijing seemed to be angry and did not dare to breathe.
Huang Jin stood in front of the red lacquer pillar, posing as if he had nothing to do with himself, but he was secretly observing everyone's reactions from the side.
Jiajing, who was wearing a blue robe, has been unwell recently, and it is inevitable that he will neglect government affairs, so he directly ignored this part of Ouyang Yijing's impeachment of Dong Fen.
It wasn't until Xu Jie stabbed the matter here that he asked people to find this note.
After Jiajing read the contents of the song, his eyes looked awe-inspiring at Ouyang Yijing in the criminal department of the initiator and said, "Ouyang Yijing, where did you learn about the Yan Mansion sending silver to the Dong family?" ”
Xu Jie also looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and turned his head to look at Ouyang Yijing next to him.
"The minister is from Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi, and after hearing about this at home, he immediately wrote to tell him! After many inquiries by the ministers, it has been determined that this matter is true, and the emperor is asked to investigate! Ouyang Yijing seemed to have been prepared, and immediately explained calmly.
Dong Fen also had a plan in his heart, and immediately knelt down to muddy the pool of water and cried: "The minister is wronged! This time, there must be someone who doesn't want the minister to enter the cabinet, so he instructed this person to frame the minister, and asked the emperor to be the master of the minister! ”
Xu Jie saw that Dong Fen threw a conspiracy theory at the emperor at this time, and even faintly pointed the finger at his side, and his eyes couldn't help flashing a touch of murderous intent.
According to his original plan and deployment, he wanted to find a more suitable time to eradicate Dong Fen, but Lin Haoran chose to vigorously support Dong Fen.
In order to prevent Dong Fen from winning the throne of the second assistant, and even more to prevent the Zhejiang Party and the Wu faction from continuing to maintain a stable alliance, he decided to use this card at this time to directly put Dong Fen to death.
Ouyang Yijing knew that there would be no way out if he stood up, so he immediately knelt down loyally and said, "Your Majesty, Dong Fen is clearly confusing the Holy Hearing here!" The minister is a science and Taoist official, and he has the responsibility of correcting the hundred officials, and his acceptance of Yan Shifan's bribes to solve the problem is true, and he should be severely punished according to law! ”
Jiajing naturally preferred Dong Fen, who accompanied him to Zhaijiao and wrote green words for himself, but asked with a calm face: "You said that Dong Aiqing accepted Yan Shifan's bribes to solve it, but what is the evidence?" ”
When Dong Fen heard this, he also turned his head to look at Ouyang Yijin, and a snickering joy swelled up in his heart.
He is different from Yan Shifan after all, Yan Shifan can be framed, but he is deeply favored by the emperor, how can he be punished because of your empty words of a small official?
Huang Jin, who was standing next to the red lacquer pillar, cast a concerned gaze at Ouyang Yijin, also curious if Ouyang Yijing had any evidence, although Dong Fen was not as good as Yuan Wei and Yan Ne, but he was also deeply favored by the emperor.
Xu Jie, like everyone, also turned his head and glanced at Ouyang Yijing.
Ouyang Yijing turned his heart sideways, took out a letter from his arms, held it high at the top and said: "Your Majesty, this is a letter written by Dong Fen's family to Dong Fen, please take a look at it!" ”
Dong Fen's face changed slightly, and he looked gloomy and uncertain at Ouyang Yijing next to him.
Hey?
Huang Jin was quite surprised to hear that Ouyang Yijing had such a private letter in his hand. He first glanced at Jiajing, then walked to Ouyang Yijing to take the letter, and then respectfully presented it to the emperor.
Xu Jie still looked like he didn't care about himself, quietly watching Jiajing's reaction.
Jiajing read the content of the letter, but there was no too much expression on his face, but looked at Dong Fen, who was kneeling on the ground, and ordered: "Give this letter to Dong Aiqing to take a look!" ”
Huang Jin sent the letter to Dong Fen, Dong Fen looked at the content of the letter, and the trace of luck in his heart was gone, this was indeed the letter written to him by his family in Wucheng's hometown.
At this moment, his mind raced rapidly, thinking of a way to break the game.
He could choose to insist that this was forged evidence by someone else to muddy the water even more. It's just that if he fights like this, not to mention what other tricks Xu Jie's side has, I'm afraid he will completely lose the affection of the monarch and minister.
The most important thing is that once this matter becomes a big problem, he may be pushed to the guillotine, thus following in the footsteps of Yan Shifan.
Dong Fen had a certain idea, and immediately defended: "Your Majesty, the minister just remembered the kindness of Yan Ge Lao back then, so he wanted to relieve Yan Shifan, and he didn't want to accept bribes!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, it was already confirmed that Dong Fen "accepted bribes to relieve Yan Shifan".
Ouyang Yijing's big stone hanging in his heart fell, and a surge of excitement surged in his heart, but his face was trying his best to endure it.
"Lord Dong, do you only remember that Elder Yan Ge brought you up, but you don't know who gave you your current official position and salary? Yan Shifan is a traitor, how can you ignore the safety of the Ming Dynasty because of your own selfish thoughts? Do you really want to learn from Yan Shifan, and you want to be beheaded in the West Market to correct the country? Xu Jie saw that Dong Fen's defeat was decided, but asked in a deep voice.
Dong Fen really had no intention of accepting bribes at that time, mainly because he owed Yan Song a favor in the past, and Yan Shifan was indeed wronged, so he decided to rescue Yan Shifan.
It's just that this is the Ming officialdom with open guns and hidden arrows, although he did not act out of unintentional misconduct, but he was used by Xu Dang, and there was already a chopping knife hanging on his neck.
Dong Fen thought of Yan Shifan, Xia Yan and others who were beheaded, and knew that the most important thing at the moment was to keep his head, so he cried with tears pouring out: "Your Majesty, Weichen lost his words, and asked the emperor for forgiveness!" For the sake of Wechen's loyalty, spare Wechen this time! ”
Huang Jin looked at Dong Fen, who had always been arrogant, and sighed secretly in his heart.
