Chapter 679: The Poor Dagger (Part II)
There are always two souls of justice and evil hidden in everyone's body, there are no outright good people in the world, and there are no outright bad people, the sun shines on everyone's body is fair, there are shining and shadows.
For example, Yang Tinghe.
At this moment, if Yang Tinghe's image is expressed in comics, the little angel in his heart may have been stabbed to death by a little devil with sharp horns, so the darkness prevailed and threw a stone into the well very immorally.
"If you have accepted bribes from King Ning, you will know that there is no paper in the world that can hold the fire, and there is no evil that can defeat the good, and the things that Jinyiwei searched out from the secret room of King Ning's mansion must not be fake." Yang Tinghe's face is righteous, his jaw is clear and windless, and the whole person is shining and dazzling like a bitter sea lamp, a typical decent person.
Cabinet scholars opened their mouths, the weight is very different, Yang Ting and Chenghua have been in the office for 14 years, after the three dynasties of Xianzong, Xiaozong, and Zhengde, from a Hanlin Xiu all the way to the cabinet scholars, the protΓ©gΓ©s of the court do not know how many, even today's son Zhu Houzhao is his student, Yang Tinghe said it, who dares not to do the same thing?
Zhu Houzhao's face became even colder, staring at Feng Yuan's colorless face, and nodded: "Mr. Yang is right, whether Feng Yuan is loyal or treacherous, whether there is fornication or rebellion, there is no need to argue, you will know after a check, the warrior in front of the palace passed on my will, and ordered Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the criminal department and Dali Temple to search Feng Yuan's mansion now......"
The warrior outside the hall replied heavily, turned and left.
When Feng Yuan heard this, his face quickly turned a layer of blue-gray, like a dead man lying in a coffin. The body was shaking uncontrollably, and it was difficult to protect itself at the moment, how could he care about participating in the impeachment of Qin Kan, and after a while, he finally couldn't bear the huge pressure, and his body was weak, and he collapsed on the ground like mud.
Seeing Feng Yuan's reaction like this, the ministers in the palace suddenly knew that the list sent by Qin Kan was true, this Feng Yuan was definitely not clean, and his fate was also doomed, and the punishment of the whole family escorting them to the vegetable market to behead the public was inevitable.
Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, is the most absurd and mediocre emperor among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. But no matter how mediocre the emperor is, there are times when he is more serious. That is his own imperial power, which is not only an emperor's desire for power, but also about the country that the ancestors worked hard to build, and the world that has spent countless efforts to govern properly from generation to generation. It's about imperial power. Zhu Houzhao couldn't rub the sand in his eyes. There is no suspense about the affair of conspiring against the vassal king, and there is no suspense about copying and beheading all over the house.
Zhu Houzhao stared at Feng Yuan coldly and said, "Feng Yuan." If the factory guard and the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department do not find out the evidence of the crime from your house, it means that I have wronged you, and I will make amends to you in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. On the contrary, you should know what the sin of fornicating against the vassal king is. β
Feng Yuan's face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister is not guilty, and the minister is framed ......."
Before he finished speaking, he could no longer bear the huge psychological fear, rolled his eyes, and fainted in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.
Zhu Houzhao sneered: "Sure enough, he is a great loyal minister, but it's a pity that this loyal minister is too fragile, someone came, carried Feng Yuan out of the palace, and the warriors in front of the palace strictly guarded him." β
Feng Yuan, whose face was colorless, was dragged out of the hall by the warriors, and silence in the hall was restored again.
The results of the factory guard's search are no longer important, looking at Feng Yuan's performance, nine times out of ten it is inseparable.
He died before he could leave the school, and before the long-brewing offensive began, he was easily wiped out by Qin Kan's roster.
The civil officials who were about to move were shocked, even though there were many people who were worthy of asking themselves that they had nothing to do with King Ning, but they were standing in the hall at the moment, but they didn't say a word, their expressions were suspicious, they didn't know how many killer weapons Qin Kan still had in his hands, so he had to throw a rat bogey.
Obviously, it should have used all the power of the court to launch a sharp and fatal blow to the traitors, but from the beginning of the court meeting to the present, the momentum of the civil officials has unconsciously weakened a lot, and the offensive has involuntarily turned into a defensive position......
The ministers in the palace had their own thoughts, Zhu Houzhao looked around coldly, and said: "After the dispersal of the dynasty, the Jinyi Wei and the East Factory will take people according to the roster, and they will be verified and ......."
After a pause, Zhu Houzhao continued: "I rule the world with loyalty and filial piety, and you are all scholars and doctors who rule the world with me. β
The words made the ministers in the palace sweat coldly, although they did not scold and reprimand, but everyone felt ashamed on their faces, which was more uncomfortable than pointing at their noses and scolding their mothers.
A roster severely suppressed the momentum of the ministers, Zhu Houzhao was also a lot more relaxed at this time, sat back on the dragon chair and said lightly: "This matter will be handled as such, if you don't mention it, do you still have something to do?" β
As soon as the words fell, the familiar voice that made the ministers' fragile hearts twitch came out.
"Minister, there's still something to do."
The ministers' faces became more and more ugly, but they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Qin Kan who was standing quietly in the hall.
A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Houzhao's mouth: "Ning Guogong is really worried about state affairs today, even if there is something to do." β
Facing the worried or fearful gazes of the civil officials, Qin Kan once again put his hand into his sleeve and pulled it left and right, and took out a blue book of music, holding it high above the top with both hands.
"The Jinyi Wei secret agents under the command of the minister have been running for several months to track down, and now it has been found that Zhejiang, Fujian, and the three provinces of Nanzhili have privately built ships and gone to sea with as many as 100 traders from the vassal states, and they have colluded with the local government yamen and local guards to protect the coastal defense, and they have divided the dirty profits with each other, and these merchants have often gone to sea with more than a dozen merchant ships, carrying silk, tea, fine porcelain, and returning to carry Korean ginseng, jade porcelain, Japanese tortoiseshell, armor, Japanese sword, silver mines, etc., back and forth once, and its benefits are millions, such as Yu Shengen, a businessman in Taizhou, Zhejiang, and Wei Yinglong, a businessman in Xinghuafu, Fujian. Zhou Chuanhei, a businessman from Huai'an Mansion in Nanzhili, etc., all bribed the local prefect and the commander of the guard with huge profits, so that the government became the wings of the businessman and escorted it, and now Jinyiwei has found out the case, and the people involved in the case have been arrested and brought into Beijing, and the businessman confessed to his crimes, and even more ......"
Qin Kan paused for a moment, inadvertently glanced at the ministers in the palace lightly, and then said: "What's more, he was confessed by Nashang Jia that there were also ministers in Jingshi who were involved in the case and were his backers. Here are the minutes of the investigation of the Jinyi Guard and the confession of the merchant who was taken, which are dedicated to the front of His Majesty's lower steps, please make a decision. β
Many people in the palace became more and more ugly, this surname Qin's offensive was really wave after wave, first used King Ning's bribery to win the momentum, blocked everyone's mouths, and then took down the coastal merchants to make everyone mess up, this move is particularly vicious, although those merchants along the coast have a low status, but they are the main foundation for many ministers to accumulate money, Qin Kan didn't even make a sound and sent Jinyi Wei to serve it in a pot, this move not only broke everyone's foundation, but also put many ministers in danger, you must know that they have a lot of unsightly things, The merchants who were taken were clear.
Cao Yuanru in the court class was killed by thunder, a fat old face suddenly turned pale, and his white and oily hand was raised, pointing at Qin Kan and blurting out: "You are talking nonsense!" It's just the wicked who ...... first."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Yuan stopped his mouth very rationally, and his face became more and more remorseful.
It is undeniable that Qin Kan is indeed a wicked person who sued first, Tianjin Donggang built dozens of sea ships to sail out at any time, and he actually had the face to impeach others for going to sea for profit, although the civil officials are well-informed, and they and others have been accustomed to having no lower limit of discipline, but at this moment, everyone has obviously refreshed their understanding of the lower limit of discipline again.
There is no lower limit, but the case found by Jinyiwei is real, and the two do not conflict.
As soon as Cao Yuan's words burst out, he didn't dare to say any more, he sensed that this sentence couldn't be said, Qin Kan, this evil beast, didn't know how many means were still hiding and waiting for him, if he clashed with him in this golden palace, his Cao Yuan's fate would probably not be much better than Feng Yuan's.
Cao Yuan, who had been through the storm for a long time, quickly controlled his anger, took a deep breath, closed his mouth with an old face, but a pair of small eyes stared at Qin Kan, fear flashed in his eyes from time to time, and even a faint trace of despair, he had a hunch that Qin Kan would probably not let him go at today's court meeting.
The minutes of the arrest and the confession of the merchant were quickly sent to Zhu Houzhao by the eunuch on duty, and Zhu Houzhao hastily flipped a few pages, but his expression became more and more angry.
"Ha Luha, yes, very good! I didn't expect that there are so many loyal ministers and good generals in my country, and I am really honored to be a good citizen! β
The laughter without any smile made the ministers' hearts freak, but their expressions became more and more frightened.
A few years ago, a group of ministers made a big splash of impeachment because of Qin Kan's private shipbuilding, and the cabinet received as many as 1,000 copies. However, less than half a month later, it was dug up by Jinyiwei that such a shady curtain turned out to be a farce of thieves shouting to catch thieves.
The hall was as quiet as a ghost domain, whether or not they participated in the collusion with maritime merchants for profit, all the civil officials only felt a hot pain on their faces, and this slap hurt everyone.
"What do you say in front of my eyes every day that you can't violate the ancestral system, I want to see who is violating the ancestral system, how thick the skin is supporting your mouth and behind the back, and the factory guards immediately went out of Beijing to strictly investigate and investigate to the end! The people involved in the case, regardless of their high or powerful positions, will be locked up and brought into Beijing for strict trial! β
The ministers bowed down in fear: "Your Majesty is angry......"
In the panicked atmosphere, it was still the familiar voice that pushed the hearts of many people into the abyss.
"Chen Qin Kan, there is still something to do!"
Zhu Houzhao shook his sleeves fiercely: "Play it!" β
"In the winter of last year, there were thieves in the city in the line of assassins, the factory guards for many days to track and find, and finally captured two assassins alive, these two are the people of Wen'an County, Beizhili, and they were horse thieves under the command of the Liu brothers of the Beidi Xiangma, the two confessed, the assassin was instigated by someone, and the person who instructed him was a colleague in the DPRK and China, and the two assassins confessed here, please make a decision under Your Majesty."
Thump!
In the class, Cao Yuan, whose face was pale, fell to the ground softly, like a puddle of mud. (To be continued......)
