Chapter Thirty-Nine: Lord Yue's Means

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Yang Yishan listened to Yue Su's words, and inevitably became suspicious, and asked Yue Su in confusion.

"Chongyue, now you are like this, like this, so ......" Yue Su came up with a brilliant plan at the moment.

"The teacher is really powerful, learn to do it."

In the early morning of the next day, Yue Su went to the court as before. Now that he is in the courtroom, he is not alone, Fang Congzhe, Qi Shijiao and other people from the three parties are all sitting on his side. However, the old father-in-law Ruan Zhenmei still respects him, but today, Ruan Zhenmei's side is vacant, and no one makes do with him. This time, Ruan Zhenmei became a loner.

Ruan Zhenmei was very puzzled, seeing that no one came to sit on his side, he got old and went to other officials, but those officials, seeing him was like seeing a plague god, and hurriedly hid far away, as if they had treated Yue Su at the beginning. It is completely different from the scene when he went to Jizhen when he went to Jizhen one after another.

"Pan Shilang, this is ...... today" Ruan Zhenmei walked towards Pan Song in surprise.

"Lord Ruan...... Nothing, nothing......" Pan Song dodged to the side, just not wanting Ruan Zhenmei to get close.

Now this posture, you are nothing, but who will believe it. Ruan Zhenmei secretly said in her heart: "Who am I provoking and provoking whom, why is everyone respecting me, is it possible that I have inadvertently offended any big man...... Ah, right...... It must have been me who came back from Jizhen and didn't send filial piety to some of the officials, who thought I was eating alone. Well, after the retreat from the dynasty, I will make up for them. ”

It rang so loudly on his side, and soon the Jingyang bell rang, and hundreds of officials entered the pilgrimage to see him. After the two compartments, Zhu Carpenter ascended the hall and sat behind the dragon case. Wenwu Mountain shouted long live, Zhu Carpenter waved his hand and said goodbye, and then heard a eunuch shouting: "There is a morning recital for class, and there is no curtain to retreat." ”

The voice settled, and Pan Song of the Criminal Department was the first to come out and said, "There is a minister." ”

Carpenter Zhu glanced at Pan Song and said, "Pan Qing, I don't know what chapter you want to play today?" ”

"Yesterday, when the ministers and others were on duty in the criminal department, a child came with an anonymous report letter to expose a certain official in the DPRK and China who had taken bribes and deceived the monarch. It's just that this official, behind the background, has a complicated relationship with the powerful people in the DPRK and China, and the minister is afraid that after receiving the letter, Lord Yue will ignore it and give up. I came out in front of His Majesty and the civil and military officials, and by the way, I asked Lord Yue, what did he plan to do? Pan Song said righteously and loudly.

As soon as he finished saying this, the civil and military officials were stunned to Yue Su, although the hundred officials in the court, although they were dissatisfied with Yue Su, they also knew Yue Su's temper, that is, there was no sand in their eyes. Someone exposes corrupt officials, how can he turn a blind eye and let himself go, what is the "yào" sold in the gourd today?

Of course, Carpenter Zhu also knew Yue Su, so he asked Yue Su, "Yue Qing, is there such a thing?" ”

Yue Su came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Pan said is true, there is indeed such a thing. Yesterday, when the duty was down, a child was hired to send a report letter, reporting that a certain official in the DPRK and China had taken bribes and illegally concealed Shengcong. However, anonymous letters are often written, so if the minister has not received a report letter, he will thoroughly investigate the officials concerned? If this is the case, wouldn't the minister have to do anything else? Moreover, if there is an anonymous letter, the authenticity of the content of the letter is difficult to determine, so the minister thinks that it needs to be treated with heart, and it cannot be wronged by loyalty. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is good, this kind of anonymous letter is to be dealt with with carefully so as not to be used." Pan Qing, you also heard Yue Qing's words, and he didn't deal with it, he just had to be cautious. ”

Pan Qing hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, you must not be blinded by Lord Yue, Lord Yue has always enforced the law like a mountain, vigorous and resolute, and there is no sand in his eyes, if the report on the letter is someone else, I am afraid that it will already be investigated with great fanfare." It's just the person who was accused...... Hehe......"

"What about the person being accused?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Who the hell is it, let's ask Lord Yue himself." Pan Songwan, Xiang Yuesu.

Yue Su looked very calm, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the letter of anonymous report has always been unavoidable, if it is nonsense, the minister should be embarrassed, and it will also cause adverse effects." The minister thought that it was better to wait for the investigation to come out before naming him. ”

"What Yue Qing said is reasonable, let's wait for the investigation to understand before announcing the name. I also believe in Yue Qing and will never shield anyone who is guilty. Carpenter Zhu nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Song was about to speak again, but before he could speak, someone else came out. "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Lord Yue said is quite ridiculous. Although it is an anonymous report, if someone dares to expose it, it is half credible. The so-called "rather than indulge", especially for those "jiān" evil people, this is especially true. Lord Yue came out in person, so what's the matter, let the people go up and down, and help take a closer look. The minister thought that the officials who were named would not be too careful, and if they were punished, if they were not, they would be crowned, and how could the upright people of our generation care about the gains and losses of this reputation. After a thorough investigation, if there is nothing to do, it will seem that we are above board. Even if the letter is a micro-minister, the minister is willing to open his home and accept Lord Yue's investigation. ”

This person's voice attracted the attention of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the person who said this in Yue Su almost lost his nose. This is not someone else, it is his father-in-law - Ruan Zhenmei.

How could Ruan Zhenmei think that the person on this letter would be herself, she has only been in the court for a few days, even if she is reported for taking bribes, it should not be her turn, after all, there are several officials in Beijing who do not accept bribes. Ruan Zhenmei was deeply puzzled by the isolation of Pan Song and other officials today, and thought that they had received a place in Jizhen and did not give it to them, which caused dissatisfaction. This time, he took the initiative to help Pan Song, also to ease the relationship between everyone.

Seeing Ruan Zhenmei's words, Pan Song was secretly happy in his heart, and his voice became louder twice, and said: "What Lord Ruan said is extremely true, my generation is above board, even if this anonymous report, no matter who is exposed in this letter, we will open our doors and accept Lord Yue's thorough investigation!" ”

"Not bad!" At this time, Feng Quan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also came out, "The so-called body is not afraid of shadows, who is reported in the anonymous letter, Lord Yue comes out." Even if it is written by me Feng Quan, I will let Lord Yue investigate thoroughly. ”

Guy, as soon as he finished saying this, the officials of the eunuch party came out one after another, and they all expressed the hope that Yue Su would find out the people who were being reported, even if it was themselves, and they would be willing to accept the investigation, and they would not care about the gains and losses of their personal reputation. This time, if the other officials do not take the initiative to come out, they are hypocrites who care about personal fame and fortune.

As a result, the voice above the court was even higher, that is, the people in the three parties did not speak.

When the crowd was surging, Carpenter Zhu seemed to feel that something was wrong, and said to Yue Su: "Yue Qing, if you don't know the person reported in the anonymous letter, do you have any unspeakable troubles?" ”

Yue Su bowed and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has always enforced the law for the country, regardless of personal gains and losses, where there will be unspeakable hardships." It's just that the person who was reported was afraid that the implication would be too great, and the court would move "dàng". ”

Hearing Yue Su's words, Pan Song, Feng Quan, Wei Guangwei, Gu Bingqian and others all sneered in their hearts, you Yue Su will find excuses, as far as an official like your father-in-law has the qualifications to influence the situation of the court. If you want to cover it up and don't check it, it's clear, why bother.

Several people changed their eyes, and Wei Guangwei, the second assistant, came out and said: "Lord Yue, no matter who is on this anonymous letter, my cabinet will be the first to come out to support Lord Yue's thorough investigation, even if it is an official, as Lord Ruan did just now, open his mén account and wait for Lord Yue to enter and search." ”

"Not bad!" "Not bad!" ……

The eunuchs immediately spoke out and once again stated their point of view, and you, whoever is reported, will willingly accept the investigation.

In such a situation, Yue Su also knew that it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, since all officials are like this, the minister will take out an anonymous letter." ”

"Aiqing, even if you take it out, no matter who is written in the letter, I will make the decision for you and allow you to investigate thoroughly." Carpenter Zhu said loudly.

"Obey the order!" Yue Su agreed, stretched out his hand into his arms, and then took out the anonymous letter.

Above the court, the eyes of all the officials were focused on Yue Su's hands, and when they went to Yue Su to take out the anonymous letter and hold it high, many people were stunned.

It turned out that Yue Su took out and held up not a letter, but a stack of letters. At this time, I only heard Yue Sulang say in a loud voice: "Long live the minister, after the minister returned to Beijing, he took over the charge of the Criminal Department and Shuntian Mansion, and within a few days, he received no less than ten anonymous reports. Now that your colleagues are so generous, and all of you have expressed your willingness to accept the investigation at the expense of your personal reputation, the minister reads the names of the people who reported in the letter, and hopes that your colleagues will fulfill their previous promise and accept a thorough investigation! ”

When he finished, he chōu out the papers in the envelope one by one and read them aloud.

"This letter is an accusation against Feng Quan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the letter shows that Lord Feng has embezzled and accepted bribes, and the amount is significant." "This letter is a report against Lord Pan of the Criminal Department, and the letter says that Lord Pan accepted bribes and shielded criminals." "This letter is a report against Master Zhu, a member of the Cabinet University, for taking bribes illegally." "This letter is to report the second assistant of the cabinet, Lord Wei, you have taken bribes illegally and deceived the king." "This ......" ......

Yue Su read more than ten letters in one breath, and the names on the letters were all eunuch backbones, and it was not until the last letter that he read his father-in-law, Ruan Zhenmei.

All the officials who were named by Yue Su collapsed, didn't they shoot themselves in the foot. Just now, the righteousness was awe-inspiring, and now, the anonymous letter in Yue Su's hand actually had his own name, was this prepared in advance, or was someone really anonymously reported?

Of course, this is not an anonymous report, but prepared by Yue Su last night. The last thing Yang Yishan was instructed to do was to write more than a dozen anonymous letters with different pen styles, and if Pan Song dared to propose it in the court, he would climb the pole and take it out at that time. He didn't expect it to be so fast, who thought that the eunuchs were simply impatient, and they stabbed it out in front of the emperor within a day.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged. The minister has always been honest and honest, law-abiding, and will never accept bribes, and hopes that His Majesty will be clear. Pan Song was so frightened that he was the first to fall to his knees.

Other officials were not much slower than him, Feng Quan, Wei Guangwei, Ruan Zhenmei and others fell to their knees one after another, shouting that they were wronged.
