Chapter 918: Revealed
"This thing. You can't just leave it at that. ”
"Not bad. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. He is the king of a country. Now the king of a country has been assassinated. Even if the other party fails to succeed. But this incident really damaged the face of the court. It's also a big threat. If it can't be traced clearly. Find out the murderer's words. What will be the face of His Majesty and the court? ”
“……”
The Emperor's Palace. People keep saying that. Although none of these people know who they are attacking. It's not in front of them at all. But they were so excited. It was as if the culprit was right in front of him. As if you can't do it. Under the verbal criticism. It was as if he were to put the man to death. In a word. It's all a look of excitement.
And above the main hall. So many people are talking. But there are also people who don't say a word. Zhang Fan is one of them. And the rest. It is the cabinet and the book of the six ministries. As a matter of fact. Yesterday I went to those in the Cining Palace. I didn't speak at all today. It's not that they don't want to talk. It's just what they knew yesterday. It's so surprising to these people. Let them be these people. It is also indigestible for a while. Not to mention what to say.
I was also in Cining Palace yesterday. There was only one Feng Bao who was not present at this time. But as it stands. I'm afraid even Feng Bao is here. He won't say anything.
"I heard. This thing. implicated a certain prince. "All of a sudden. I don't know who said that. "If that's the case. What should I do about this? ”
In such a noisy environment. I don't know who said that. But obviously. This man said it in a loud voice. Even on top of such a noisy hall. Almost everyone heard it. And with his words. Almost. Almost all of them stopped talking. All of a sudden. On top of this huge imperial hall. There was silence. Beyond the sound of breathing. There was no sound.
And wait until this time. Just pressed the person who spoke. I don't speak anymore. When everyone wants to find out who it is. But I couldn't find it.
In the face of such words. Almost everyone present was amazed. Those were not in the Cining Palace yesterday. People who don't know about it. Faced with such a news. Naturally, I was very surprised. After all, there is a prince of this dynasty who wants to assassinate the emperor of this dynasty. This kind of thing. Although if you really want to find a reason. It also makes sense. But anyone heard it. All will be surprised.
And among these people who are present. The most surprising. Those who already knew about it yesterday were the ones who knew about it. Yesterday. They were among the first to know about it. And yesterday after they left Cining Palace. Although they did not consult with each other. But none of them are stupid. Know what the impact will be if this matter is revealed. So. They have a very tacit understanding. All of them are tight-lipped about this matter. I didn't even think about saying it. So. Now when I hear this, someone actually said such a thing. How could these people not be surprised?
But. These people. Even including Zhang Juzheng. All of them had expressions of surprise on their faces. However, Zhang Fan is not. As a matter of fact. Zhang Fan just heard that someone actually said such a situation. I was also a little surprised. But immediately. He calmed down. And once again, it has returned to its previous silent appearance. Stood there without saying a word. It's as if something is going on there. It's all about him.
Zhang Fan would be like this. Nature for a reason. It's not that others can't think of what Zhang Fan thinks. Zhang Fan, who really understands what is going on in this matter. Something he thinks about. It's not the same.
Those people who were in the Cining Palace yesterday. Zhang Fan was sure that they would not tell the story. It's not that Zhang Fan knows much about those people. Or how confident they won't say. It's because of that. It's too big. The big one is not that people of their status can go out and talk nonsense. If they say power. It's really one of the best in this court. It is definitely the top priority of the imperial court today. But the identities of these people are there. They are not royalty. For the royal thing. If Empress Dowager Li let them know. That's already good. As for them. In any way. should not be discussed in vain.
And Feng Bao. Zhang Fan believed that Feng Bao would not say it. After all. Feng Baodu had already stated that he would never get involved in this matter. About that. Zhang Fan actually had some doubts. But even Feng Bao will investigate something in private. But it is absolutely impossible to talk about it. If that's the case. No matter how secretive he is. After all, it will be revealed. Today's Feng Bao. I definitely don't want to get mixed up in anything.
And Zhang Fan himself. He didn't say it. Zhang Fan himself knows best.
Other words. There is only one possibility. That's it. It was Empress Dowager Li who made people reveal it. As a matter of fact. Zhang Fan looks like it now. If it weren't for yesterday, it was really in Cining Palace. If you can't get all the courtiers to go. I'm afraid that Empress Dowager Li would have told this matter a long time ago.
But now it looks like it. It's not bad for Empress Dowager Li to do this. This kind of seeming to leak the wind from somewhere and let some people say it "unintentionally". Let everyone know about it. It's really seamless.
Zhang Fan even understands very well. Empress Dowager Li's intention to do this. It's definitely the same as yesterday. She just wants all the ministers to put a mark on their hearts. Feel this thing. It was made by Zhu Xuanqi, the king of Shuduan. When the time comes. As long as Zhang Fan can produce evidence. Even if it's not very reliable evidence. You don't need anything real. As long as the direction shown by the evidence is pointed to Zhu Xuanqi. That's enough.
And the one who spoke just now. Apparently not mediocre either. It is definitely a person carefully arranged by the Empress Dowager Li. That voice was absolutely loud. It can be heard by everyone in the entire Imperial Palace. And it's not just that. This man said this not a short sentence in such a loud voice. Now all the halls were silent. Among those present was Zhang Fan. But I don't know who the person I just spoke was. Even. Everyone remembered the voice just now. But I didn't remember it at all. I don't know who said that.
But. Now is no longer the time to think about it. Now. These words. It was already a shock to everyone.
And Zhang Fan is relatively calm. Merely. Zhang Fan calmed down. But he smiled bitterly in his heart. He understood. I'll be busy later.
"Master Taifu." Really. It didn't take long for someone to come forward and ask questions. And without beating around the bush. Ask Zhang Fan directly. "I heard that the Queen Mother handed over this matter to Lord Taifu's Jinyi Wei for investigation. Isn't that so. ”
Although Zhang Fan has long understood. Someone was going to ask him about it. But when he saw the person questioning. But I was still taken aback. There is no other reason. The man who questioned him. is a character that Zhang Fan really didn't expect. Now he is the oldest in the imperial court. The Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Procuratorate. Ge Shouli.
For this matter. It doesn't matter what kind of thoughts the people in the court have. But Zhang Fan can be sure. Ge Shouli really wouldn't have any other thoughts. Everything he did. It's all for the good of this court. And now Ge Shouli was the first to stand up and question. Explain how much of an impact this incident has.
And for Zhang Fan. Ge Shouli stood up and asked. And to ask him by name. He couldn't fool him. Besides. Before, Zhang Fan thought of Empress Dowager Li's intention to deliberately reveal the news. Zhang Fan also thinks so. At this time, he also needs to say something.
"Mishi-sama. This thing. The Queen Mother was indeed handed over to this official to investigate. Zhang Fan looked at Ge Shouli and said.
And Zhang Fan said so. Many of the people present looked like they had something to say. It's just that Ge Shouli spoke first. They didn't ask.
"Good. Since Master Taifu said it. I don't know which colleague said that. Whether it's true or not. Ge Shouli still asked so bluntly.
Ge Shouli's question came up. Those who were staring at Zhang Fan were present. His eyes tightened. Obviously. They are also very eager to know the answer to this question.
And the cabinet and several heads of the six ministries who already knew about this matter on the side. All looked at each other. In the end, they all looked at Zhang Fan together. I don't know how Zhang Fan will answer.
But Zhang Fan was very calm. He spoke calmly, "Lord Ge." I don't know who the Lord was talking about. I don't want to know anymore. The official didn't want to ask him where he heard the news...... "Speaking of which." Zhang Fan paused.
Heard Zhang Fan's prelude. Those in the cabinet and the six ministries who knew about it in advance. All breathed a sigh of relief. And others who are waiting for Zhang Fan's answer. But he showed a disappointed look.
"Still. I am sure. "But Zhang Fan naturally won't let the scene go cold." And so it is. Although nowadays. The official has not yet investigated anything substantial. There is no evidence of this. But something. But it does point to a vassal king today. ”
No one thought about it. Zhang Fan actually came to such a ***. And heard Zhang Fan say this. The people present fell silent for a while. Wait until the reaction comes. This imperial palace. than before. That's a little more lively.
