Chapter Seventy-Six: The Masses Eat Melons
Zhu Houxi looked at him quietly, and for a while, the hall fell silent again, and everyone's hearts were going up and down, waiting for Shizong to follow.
Zhu Houxi nodded, smiled, and said, "Yan Song is not proper, it is filial piety for you to go back and take care of your father." He raised his hand and beckoned Tao Zhongwen, who was standing behind him, and said slowly: "Tao Zhenren has made meritorious contributions to the illness of my prayers, entered the Ministry of Rites, specially awarded Shaobao, ate a good food, and named his wife a Mrs. Yipin." ”
He said it lightly, as if deciding today's meal... Uh, no, it's a red pill today, or a white pill, or a pill that isn't red or white.
Tao Zhongwen subconsciously wanted to push back, and even noticed that the eye knives flying towards him in all directions were intertwined with all kinds of eyes, making him feel like a man's back.
Unexpectedly, these ministers fought over the party and cheapened themselves?
No, no, where is this cheap! None of the words that came out of Sejong's mouth were cheap!
His hands trembled slightly, and he understood what Sejong meant.
He said to Yan Shifan, your father is not in good health and has become ill from hard work, so go home and raise it, and you will also serve your father. If you have done something wrong but do not know how to sincerely repent, pierce the old hearts of your father and son, and see if you want to understand it.
Take a broken word to fool things, is it really that Sejong is a foolish little sheep?
But he Tao Zhongwen is a lot old, but he is a person who has nothing to do. Thinking of Yan Song's retributive temperament, even Xia Yan's people who have great kindness to him have been framed by him repeatedly, let alone a humble person like himself?
Is... He thought to himself, Your Majesty is more fortunate to be more fortunate to Lan Daoxing, won't this push himself out to block the sword?
He trembled and knelt on the ground, bowed his head with a crying voice, his face seemed to be moved, but his heart shed thousands of old tears of scolding his mother, and he stretched out his voice in fear, and replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, minister, minister..."
He was so careless and flattering, hoping that Sejong would take more care of himself for the sake of being by his side at a young age.
Seeing that the old man who was in good spirits in the past was moved into a puddle of soft mud, Zhu Houxi didn't feel good in his heart, and helped him weakly and said, "Tao Shangshu, get up." ”
Tao Zhongwen wiped his tears, obediently stepped aside, and sighed in his heart.
At this time, no one explored Yan Shifan's remorse and low sobbing actions.
Xia Yan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the chief soldier of Datong Mansion Qiu Luan is a prisoner of soldiers and persecuts the people, and his heart is not right!" The city was not strictly defended, resulting in thousands of people being slaughtered by the northern captives, and the damage was as high as more than 3 million taels of silver. South..."
He wanted to talk about Nanyang Yu, but when he remembered the angry words, he gave up.
continued: "That Yan Song, as the righteous father of Qiu Luan, colluded with civil and military, which is the third of the ten evils of the Great Ming Law, and the judgment is to plot against the country. The minister's collusion with the party and internal and external collusion is really a crime of treachery, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has verified the facts, and I sincerely ask Your Majesty to show it. ”
This successive blows made Yan Shifan untenable.
He subconsciously looked at Xia Yan, but bumped into Shen Liangcai and Zou Zhenglong, the official of the Xia Party, with smiling expressions, as if to say, are you shocked? Surprised?
Didn't expect that, right?
They simply gave up making a fuss about the matter of Nanyang Jade, that matter, His Majesty had already known in his heart, and they didn't know what the mentality was without delving into it, but it was always right with His Majesty's intentions.
On the other hand, from the word soldier to bring down Qiu Luan, from the word "faction" to make His Majesty fortify, see how many nails Your Majesty can withstand for your family!
His Majesty is suspicious by nature, so one by one nails are inserted into his heart, and he is slowly trying to figure it out. Just like that day, Shen Kang was in front of Liubo Chess, smiling and asking, "How about we slowly figure it out?" ”
If you concentrate all your firepower on one piece, although you are most likely to capture the "fish" in the center of the board, you are more likely to be eaten by the enemy. Only when the six sons advance and retreat together can all the scattered sons be saved.
This time, there was no official who pretended to be clear and knelt down to admonish, they were just fully prepared to cut off the king's hands and feet with a soft knife.
Yan Shifan's back was cold for a while and hot for a while, his face turned white, red and blue, trembling and wanting to kneel, while thinking about how to beg for mercy.
Fang just ran back and forth, and the fragrant leaf crown on his head was not stable, and as his body swayed, the fragrant leaf crown "snapped" in front of everyone's eyes and fell to the ground.
Before he could squat down to pick it up, Zou Yinglong knelt down with a "bang": "Your Majesty!" Yan Shifan does not respect the holy gifts, and I beg Your Majesty to surrender his sin! ”
Zhu Houxi thought about it, in the past, Yan Song came to Beijing to reinstate, but Xia Yan supported him all the way, what happened today?
Thinking about Xia Yan's bullish temper instead, he understands.
Xia Yan is really a righteous person who does not avoid his relatives, and those close to him do not cover up when they make mistakes, which further illustrates this point. Thinking about more than three million taels of silver, I really hated Qiu Luan to the root of my teeth.
Thinking of the news that Jin Yiwei came back, it proved that all this was true, Lu Bing was not ambiguous in his affairs, but it was also good.
Xia Yan looked at the officials around him, and at some point, these people had already knelt on the ground. Qingliu, eunuchs, scholars, traitors.
These people seem to form a huge whirlpool, sucking all the dignity and humanity of those who are scholars into the abyss.
His knees trembled and trembled, framed, didn't it be natural for him to do it himself? He knelt down slowly, slowly, and at this moment, he finally abandoned some of the bottom line of being an official.
Zhu Houxi paused for three breaths, and said with a smile: "Qiu Luan clings to the upstarts, delays the fighter plane, and waits for the cabinet to draft a concerto, so that the celebrant will approve it." ”
He paused again, squinted, and said indifferently: "Abandon the market." ”
When he learned that Qiu Luan was involved in the smuggling of Nanyang jade, he was already a dead man, and the dead man was obedient and could still live, and the dead man dared to add trouble to him, so he could only be dead.
He said that he let the cabinet decide, but it was not he who made the decision? It's just a formality.
Zhu Houxi looked at Yan Shifan, and was about to speak, Yan Shifan hurriedly knelt down a few steps and said: "Your Majesty, father, before Yan Shangshu fainted, let the minister tell Your Majesty that there is indeed something wrong with the salt administration, and I implore Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly." ”
"That's all?"
Yan Shifan nodded: "Yes, that's all." ”
Zhu Houxi sighed, whether he was reluctant to protect Yan Song, and said: "Your father is close to foreign ministers, or a military general, and he will be fined for one year, and he must not commit it again." Then he pointed to his trembling hand and said, "Leave Qingzi behind and go home to take care of your father." ”
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty! Yan Shifan kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead was red, but he didn't feel pain at all.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Zhu Houxi regretted a little that he had just let Tao Zhongwen be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in a fit of anger, where would Yan Song be placed? Since ancient times, where have there been two dynasties of the Ministry of Rites?
After thinking about it, I felt that Yan Song was hateful, so I took it as a small punishment and a big commandment.
Listening to Yan Shifan talk about the salt administration, Xia Yan's sensitive political sense was smart, Yan Song was a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how could His Majesty let him check what salt politics?
