Chapter 427: The Imperial Court

Lu Bing didn't think much of Shao Jing's martial arts: "Left and right are nothing more than a brave man, what kind of climate can they become?" Let's talk about the two old demons of the White Lotus Sect first, they were powerful in the past, but now there are not seventy but also sixty, the old man does not use his muscles and bones as his ability, what is the surprise of being killed by a young and strong descendant? So whether Shao Jing really killed the two thieves alone, how can he determine it based on Zhang Qingyan's words alone? Besides, what is the use of Shao Jing's martial arts no matter how high he is, you also said that he assassinated the Mongolian commander in the gap of the city, and he still missed. And from what you described, this Shao Jing is a vain and good name, and it is difficult to become a big thing. However, his uncle Shao Fang is a person who cannot be despised . I heard that Shao Fang has a lot of wealth, and he is dedicated to making friends with the world's heroes and important ministers in the court, which seems to be a trend that cannot be ignored, so we should pay more attention to him in the future. ”

Yan Hong didn't expect Lu Bing to be so clear about this Shao Daxia's family, and he couldn't help but admire it a little more. He asked tentatively: "In this way, this Shao Fang's strength is not small, but which faction is helping the DPRK and China?" ”

Lu Bingdao: "I said that he should not be taken lightly, and that's it. He did not help any faction, and even did not contribute to the major affairs of the DPRK and China. But the potential he has secretly accumulated is not small. Because of this, this person does not provoke, but makes people jealous. ”

Yan Hong hated that his history was not good, and he didn't know anything about the future deeds of this Danyang Shao Fang, otherwise wouldn't he be able to play the role of a god stick in front of Lu Bing?

He went on to talk about his experience in handling cases in Jinan. Lu Bing sighed again: "You cub, that old general Gao Yanzong is my old friend, and I still ask him to take care of you." I don't want you to take such care of him. That's fine. Lao Gao did this big disaster. That's something that no one else can save. Virtuous nephew, I don't blame you for this. On the contrary, you are doing it quite well. Since he has become a brocade guard, at a critical moment, he can't mess with the country's laws with personal feelings. ”

Yan Hong was quite moved when he saw Lu Bing's statement like this. He also talked about Ma Tengyun's rebellion with Wang Xuan and was captured in a street battle. Lu Bingdao: "I didn't think about it, hereditary brocade clothes." For thousands of generations, there was a traitor who rebelled against the country, and he was really innocent. This thief has entered the edict prison, and he wants to climb around and frame the innocent, but Shibo has already sent him on the road, and all the future affairs are also taken care of, so there is no need to worry about it in the future. ”

Hearing this, Yan Hong suddenly realized that he had arranged the time to extinguish his mouth. But he ignored Ma Tengyun. Although he has no evidence to say that he is directly involved in all kinds of illegal activities, he is the head of Jinyi Wei in Shandong. Informed. Liu Cai's hookup with his own family, will he not be clear? Most of the time he was in prison and confessed these things. Lu Bing was an ally of the Yan family, so he suppressed this matter and helped the Yan family complete the work of killing people and destroying people.

Yan Hong naturally thanked him without words, but Lu Bing didn't eat it, but said: "What's the use of saying such things? The old man really wants to teach you a hard lesson, but it's just ...... Alas, in the past few days, you have come to my house and have something to say to you. This evening, come to my house to find me, let's go to see the heavenly family together, he has something to ask you face-to-face. ”

Yan Hong said: "The heavenly family wants to see the little nephew again?" This is really the grace of God, and death cannot be repaid. ”

Lu Bing scolded with a smile: "There is still the face to say this." Virtuous nephew, if you make these moves in Shandong, the court will be turned upside down. ”

It turned out that after the siege of Jinan was lifted, during the period of Yan Hong's return to Beijing, the impeachment of Yan Hong reached the Tongzheng Department like snowflakes. If it is stacked, it is more than enough to bury Yan Hong alive. The impeachment of Yan Hong by the officials is generally as follows:

1. Killing good and risking merit, there are many untruths in what is played. Behead innocent people and pretend to be White Lotus cultists and Mongol Tatar soldiers.

2. Accepting bribes along the way, arrogantly and domineeringly, and coercing the court officials.

3. Be good at recruiting horses, in order to fill the official army and ask for awards for the war exploits of the horse thieves, and regard the imperial court discipline as nothing.

Fourth, greedy for ink and reverse production, filling his own pockets, and the property of the rebel Wang Xuan's family fell into his pocket.

Fifth, there is no solid evidence for framing Zhongliang, Liu Cai and others for disobedience. I am afraid that Yan Hong made something out of nothing, slandered him as a thief, and even killed people without authorization.

Sixth, forcing Chang, the daughter of the imperial court official, and causing her death, it is outrageous.

Seventh, he did not cultivate his personal morality, not only fornicated with the female bandit Sun, but also had an affair with many Qinglou women, and even slept with the Jianghu woman Zhang, which was filthy.

This group of royal historians and things are like chicken blood, bravely stepped forward and charged into battle, and Lin Yangqian's former year and the same list took the lead, avenging their own same year and the same list.

The Yan family naturally couldn't sit idly by and watch this situation, so they mobilized their pawns and actively counterattacked. It's just that Yan Song found that since Liu Cai was cremated, the attitude of his own group of pawns has also become a little strange, and they are weak when they fight back, most of them are waving their flags and shouting, but few people are willing to die.

And the most outrageous of them all is Hai Jui. It is said that he is the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, and in this matter, he and Yan Hong belong to a relationship of both glory and loss. In this case, he could either defend Yan Hong with all his might, or simply remain silent.

Unexpectedly, he was also a member of the impeachment army. However, his impeachment is not the same as the mainstream public opinion, and the calculation is as follows:

First, Yan Hong spent all the way drinking and drinking, and in the first half of the trip to the south of the Yangtze River, he violated the old Taizu system of four dishes and one soup everywhere, and was extremely poor and extravagant, which greatly harmed the imperial court's disaster relief law. After entering Jinan, he even more brazenly lived in Wang Xuan's mansion.

Second, Yan Hong had an affair with the folk woman Tian in Jinan, which was not clear and innocent, and it was not decent for the court. He also mixed with many silver women of the White Lotus Sect, and he didn't think about the majesty and obedience of the rebellion.

Third, after Yan Hong seized a large amount of reverse property, he obstructed the inventory of the amount, and his heart was suspicious, and Yan Hong should be ordered to carefully report the reverse property figure and not to commit fraud.

Fourth, on the eve of the destruction of Jinan City, Yan Hong actually connived at his staff Ye Zhengfei to sleep with three Qinglou women, which made people outrageous. According to the investigation, Ye Zhengfei still has a reputation as a student, and he once entered the national prison, which is really insulting.

As for the seven articles in which other officials impeached Yan Hong, Hai Rui defended Yan Hong one by one.

He said that the bloody battle under the city of Jinan for half a month, all the killings were the chief of the first evil, the rebels, and the good people all fought against the enemy with the officers and soldiers.

It is said that officials along the way have indeed paid bribes, but Yan Hong and Deputy Envoy Zhang Cheng have already used all the bribes to buy rice and grain to help the victims.

It is said that the surrender of the horse is approved by the edict of the Son of Heaven, although it is the central decree and does not conform to the imperial court system, but this is the fault of the Son of Heaven, but Yan Hong should not be harshly criticized, not to mention that after the Flying Tiger Mountain group of thieves recruited An, the bloody battle in Jinan, the military exploits are obvious to all, and it is not a false report.

As for Jinan's reverse production, Yan Hong obstructed the investigation, which was indeed suspicious, but he was full of private pockets, but he also made something out of nothing, and it was recommended that the imperial court review it.

He also said that Liu Cai and others committed a lot of crimes, and if they were revealed, the people of Shandong were resentful, and they would have been boiling against Yingtian, and if they had used the old system of Taizu, they would have been stripped of their skins and stuffed grass, and they would have been framed, and they would not have been wronged if they were killed.

He also said that it was true that Chang's family hooked up with Yan Hong in order to exonerate his father and brother, but Yan Hong did not bend the law with favoritism, only some romantic sins, let alone force the relationship.

As for private morality, Yan Hong is filthy, but the female bandit Sun is the concubine he wants, the women of the Qinglou are alone in the line, and the Jianghu woman Zhang is clean and self-conscious, but there is nothing wrong with these places.

This sea pen holder has a stubborn temper that shocks the world, and the emperor is actually scolded in the excerpt of Yan Hong's justification, who dares to continue to entangle with him? He was in the middle of the accusation, but he knocked down a lot of the arrogance of impeaching Yan Hong. And the Son of Heaven made Yan Song feel at ease, first recruiting Yan Song with kind words and comfort, saying that I am in charge of everything. Then the twists and turns of impeachment were all left unattended. On the contrary, a strange decree was later made, so that the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate and the people in the matter should sympathize with the emptiness of Taicang and the lack of national use, and should save pen, ink and paper.

When Yan Hong heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This Haibi frame Hai brother, I made my little nephew stab me in the back along the way, I didn't expect to come back to the court this time, but I was willing to help my little nephew speak." ”

Lu Bing sneered: "Virtuous nephew, don't look at the seven articles he helped you defend and impeached you in the other four, which seems to be relatively light, but the one of them is really more serious, but it is not easy for you to get rid of it." And this guy is not as good as an ordinary official, it's not just a scolding, he really wants to investigate to the end, one play is fruitless, and then another one, I think you are in some trouble. ”

Yan Hong was reminded by Lu Bingyi, thinking to himself, Hai Rui's temper, that is really a blind man catching catfish, and he will not let go. But anyway, half of Wang Xuan's treasure has already entered Taicang, and thirty percent has been given to the emperor's inner treasury, and the rest of the points have also been divided, and the dots have also been dotted, and Hai Rui has no original data, who is he afraid of? It's a big deal, let him worry about the emperor one after another. It's just that I thought that I had lived and died with him, and I had to be impeached by him when I returned to Beijing, and I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Seeing Yan Hong's appearance, Lu Bing smiled again: "Don't worry, this sea pen holder is left in the position of the official, and it is inconvenient for everyone." Therefore, the emperor has been ordered to transfer him to Wanping County. In the future, he can't control the stolen money in Jinan. ”

Only then did Yan Hong put his mind at ease, and said continuously: "This must be your help, Shibo." Thank you here. Lu Bing said: "Why should your own family be polite. ”

In fact, there is another mystery in this, but Yan Hong also doesn't know the way. It turned out that the reason why Lu Bing moved Emperor Jiajing to transfer Hai Rui away was far more than just for Yan Hong, but also related to Lu Bing's own efforts to frame rich people and extort huge sums of money.

Hai Rui was ordered to be transferred back to Beijing this time to try the case of the eunuch Li Bin's embezzlement, which was originally sold by Xu Jie to Emperor Jiajing, so as not to keep Hai Rui's tendon in Jinan and prevent Yan Hong from giving part of the treasure to the emperor's treasurer. Na Hai Rui didn't think much about it, returned to Beijing, and immediately began to investigate Li Bin's embezzlement of public funds.

In fact, there is nothing to investigate in this case, because it was originally an existing crime, and the evidence was almost ready-made, and there was no need for Hai Rui to investigate anything, and he was just a dispensable soy sauce character in the investigation team. (To be continued......)
