Chapter 141: Rules of the Game
In front of everyone's eyes, he cut off the head of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he should be immediately put in prison to wait for the Ming canonical punishment, how could he just be ordered by the emperor to be grounded at home and reflect?
But no matter how unbelieving they may belief, this is the truth after all. They couldn't help but have a question in their hearts, what kind of secret is there in this?
The truth is definitely not as simple as everyone sees, otherwise, even if the emperor favors Tang Ning again, he will not just confine him to his home.
After many inquiries, they finally understood the reason, it turned out that Tang Ning suspected that Pang Yu was related to the assassination outside the city, and he was angry for a while, so he led his own soldiers to kill Pang Yu on the long street.
And the emperor also found out that Pang Yu did collude with the assassin who assassinated Tang Ning, so he just grounded Tang Ning at home for reflection.
After finding out the truth, everyone was a little indignant, the court has its own law, no matter what crime Pang Yu committed, the court should deal with it, instead of letting Tang Ning hack Pang Yu to death with a knife.
Audacious and uncontrollable, this kind of thing must not be tolerated! For a time, hundreds of officials in Beijing wrote to impeach Tang Ning, demanding that Tang Ning be sent to prison and tried in public to correct the law!
Not only are hundreds of officials talking, but the streets and alleys are talking about this matter, but they are always whispering when they talk about it, and they don't dare to talk about it, because Jinyiwei is everywhere!
Jin Yiwei is famous in Beijing, and he has the potential to stop children crying at night, and now it is Jin Yiwei's commander who has been killed, so although everyone's gossip heart is like a raging fire, they don't dare to talk about it.
Jinyiwei's reputation is not good, so most of the people on the streets and alleys are on Tangning's side. Their reasoning is very simple, if the commander of the Jinyi Guard and Tang Ning have no grievances, then how could Tang Ning risk his life to kill Pang Yu?
Therefore, they simply felt that it was true that Pang Yu had colluded with the assassins, so it was no wonder that Tang Ning would wield Pang Yu with a knife.
That's dozens of lives, and Pang Yu's death is definitely not a pity. The people on the streets of the market originally had a bad impression of Jinyiwei, and this Jinyiwei commander was definitely not a good person.
As for why you said that Pang Yu would collude with the assassins, it is not simple, I heard that Donghai City is very rich, of course, for the silver!
No wonder the people of Donghai City can set up an ambush on the outskirts of Beijing, it turns out that it is all because of the Jinyi Guard! It was heard that Tang Ning had been assassinated again after entering Beijing, and the assassin had escaped and has not been heard from since.
At this time, everyone suddenly realized, no wonder they couldn't catch the assassin all along, the commander of the Jinyi guard had collusion with the assassin, and it was strange that the assassin could be caught!
Although the people on the streets and alleys felt that Pang Yu's death was deserved, they also felt sorry for Tang Ning. Because they felt that Downing would not escape prison after all.
After all, it was the powerful commander of the Jinyi Guard, although Tang Ning was the commander of the capital, but the authority was not as good as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Even if the commander of the Jinyi Guard is guilty, then the emperor has to convict and punish him, and you Tang Ning cut people down without authorization, so you can't pay for your life?
In the Rong Mansion, Lin Lan was circling around Rong Xuan, and Rong Xuan said helplessly: "Lan'er, can you sit down first, I am dizzy when I turn around!" ”
Lin Lan hurriedly said, "Oh, aren't I in a hurry?" You said that Tang Ning had a tendon twitch, why did he hack Pang Yu to death? He's not killing himself! ”
Rong Xuan and the others are just juniors after all, and it will be late to know the news. Rong Xuan smiled: "Don't worry, things are not as bad as you think." ”
Lin Lan said hurriedly: "How can you not be in a hurry? Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are going to write books and cut off Tang Ning's head! ”
Xiaoxiao was also worried: "You said that Tang Ning is too, if Pang Yu really colluded with the assassins, then Tang Ning directly reported to the emperor, Pang Yu must be guilty, why did he go and cut Pang Yu." Now it's a big deal! ”
Lin Lan stomped her feet and said, "No, I'm going to find my father!" ”
Rong Xuan grabbed Lin Lan and said, "Oh, don't make a mess!" What's wrong with Downing? Will you be imprisoned, or will you be beheaded? What are you going to say to Uncle Lin? Downing is just being confined to his home! ”
Lin Lan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then pouted: "But now the crowd is raging, and Tang Ning is bound to be convicted in prison!" ”
Rong Xuan said with a smile: "Tang Ning killed Pang Yu, the emperor did not put him in prison, but grounded him for him to reflect on, in fact, he has already made his attitude clear, the emperor does not want to pursue this matter!" ”
"The emperor grounded Tangning, on the one hand, to polish Tangning, let him reflect on it, and on the other hand, it was also to protect him."
Lin Lan was pleasantly surprised when she heard this: "The emperor doesn't want to pursue it? So Downing must be fine? That's great! ”
Rong Xuan shook her head and said, "Not necessarily!" ”
Lin Lan said unhappily: "Sister Xuan, didn't you just say that the emperor would not pursue it?" ”
Rong Xuan sighed: "But the hundred officials are being investigated, so in the end, it depends on the game between the emperor and the hundred officials." ”
Xiaoxiao complained: "You said that the hundred officials are too, what does this have to do with them?" Why are you writing books one by one? Aren't they usually on the right path with the commander of the Jinyi Guard? ”
Lin Lan gritted her teeth and said, "That's it, what's the matter with them?" It's not digging their ancestral graves! What are they doing so actively? Sister Xuan, do you say? ”
Rong Xuan shook his head and said: "The reason why they are so angry is because Tang Ning broke the rules and broke the rules of the game in officialdom!" ”
Lin Lan was stunned: "How can you say this?" ”
Rong Xuan said helplessly: "In the officialdom, everyone is using their mouths and pens, but Tang Ning directly uses the knife, who is not afraid?" ”
"To put it mildly, everyone is mixed in the officialdom, maybe there will be a conflict of interest at any time, and when the time comes, Tang Ning will not play his cards according to common sense, and directly pull out a knife and cut people, how can this be played? Who would dare to play? ”
Lin Lan and Xiaoxiao finally understood, their faces were very ugly, and they both felt that the situation was very serious, Tang Ning was angry!
Lin Lan bit her lip and said, "Sister Xuan, what should I do?" ”
Rong Xuan pondered: "You can only wait and see what happens, in the end, it depends on how much the emperor wants to protect Tang Ning!" ”
Lin Lan said with concern: "Sister Xuan, how much does the emperor want to protect Tang Ning?" ”
Rong Xuan smiled bitterly: "I don't know about this, I have to ask Tang Ning." Lan'er, don't worry too much. Since the emperor chose to ban Tangning, he would not have expected the turmoil behind. ”
"And, although I've only met a few times, I don't think Downing is an impulsive person! You see that after he cut off Pang Yu's head, he immediately went to the palace gate to ask for guilt, and did not give Jinyiwei the slightest chance, which shows that he was deliberate, not impulsive! ”
