Chapter 271: Imperial Petition
He Xiao sat on the throne with a very complicated mood.
Because this is the first time that someone beat the drum, it was a courtier who led a group of people to beat the drum and voice their grievances.
He used to think that with the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there should be no one to admonish, the Dengwen drum is just a symbol of the law, but I didn't expect that there were really people drumming!
When he saw Tan Huaiyu limping in, he frowned even more.
He remembered that Tan Huaiyu's legs and feet were beaten in the edict prison when he pleaded for Gan Cao. This person not only pleaded with Gan Cao, but also set up a group of landlords in Luoyang Mansion first, and this time he led a group of people to beat the drum and sue the emperor!
In the end, how stubborn people are to keep doing such things, even Tian Xin knows how to converge.
The people of the capital have a local saying, called: "Pull a share." "It's about people who love to be in the limelight, and they always want to be superior to others and make an effect that stands out from the crowd. But Tan Huaijue's behavior is no longer explained by the simple word "pulling out the part".
He Xiao was thinking about it, Tan Huaiyu saluted him and the Empress Dowager Lin behind him, raised his head and said loudly: "Now the people are angry and crying bitterly, but I am afraid that it is not clear, so the ministers will do the work on their behalf and listen to the people's grievances to the heavens." β
He Xiao frowned and waved his hand to signal Tan Huaiyu to speak.
"The minister and the prince of Pingshuo went to Jinan Mansion to reward Bian Lingyu, who has managed the epidemic well." Tan Huaiyu is a Sven person, even if he wants to denounce Bian Zhang at this time, he still saves some face, and he does not call him by his name, but still calls him by words, "After the ministers came to Jinan Mansion, Bian Lingyu took the ministers to drink and have fun day and night, without mentioning the epidemic at all. The ministers were puzzled, so they secretly investigated, wasted their minds, and finally found out the truth. β
Tan Huaiyu fell to his knees with a bang, and He Xiao looked at his lameness, and his knees hurt.
I only heard Tan Huaiyu's voice almost crying: "That Bian Lingyu, who originally had no talent, got the position of the governor of Shandong, the feudal official, by building a shrine. In order to conceal that the epidemic would end as soon as possible, so as not to affect his own evaluation, he buried all the infected people alive, and Jinan Mansion was already in a panic and hell on earth. β
He took a long breath and continued: "But he was even bold, saying that the epidemic in Jinan Mansion 'occasionally has a small epidemic, which can be prevented and controlled, and it is not a big view', and it is really an unforgivable crime to ask the court for merit and reward!" Such a heinous person does not have to go through the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, and the minister asked the emperor to personally issue an order, and the Jinyi Wei will arrest him and send him to prison! β
The eunuch officials trembled when they heard the sentence "The Xiusheng Temple has an official position", but they didn't expect that there was still a pole here.
Yu Jian, the head of the cabinet, personally copied his sleeves and went into the water, and rebuked Tan Huaijue and said: "Huangkou Xiaoer, I only listen to you alone, how can I prove it?!" Now you children have read a few Western books, and you are arbitrarily covering the sky above the court, and you have made trouble to such a point, you don't see the emperor's worries, but you are in the dark. β
Tan Huaiyu looked at Yu Jian, with no fear on his face, and said: "The people behind the lower official are all witnesses, if the first assistant still doesn't believe it, then the lower official is speechless, after all, all the gods and demons can be seen; The mountains, rivers, lakes and seas can be viewed, and the lower officials believe that justice is in the hearts of the people! β
Yu Jian was about to say something, but Wan Chengping, who had always loved and muddy, stood up and waved at He Xiao: "Your Majesty, this matter is about the people, it is a major matter of human life, and it is inevitable to investigate." It's just that the ministers privately think that Jinyiwei acts too harshly, and there are often cases of torture into tricks, and they still have to go through the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department and check them one by one in accordance with the regulations......"
As soon as Wan Chengping's words fell, he heard a voice say: "If you are directly arrested by Jinyiwei, you can go directly to prison for interrogation, but if you go through the process of Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, I don't know what year and month I want to find out." At that time, Bian Lingyu will destroy all the evidence, what should he do? Could it be that those people who were buried alive would have to bear the injustice under Jiuquan?! β
Wan Chengping glanced back at the young man, as if to avoid his edge, he shook at He Xiao, took a step back, and stopped talking.
The young man was about to say anything more, but he heard Chen Hui suddenly speak: "Li Zhi! You are now just a student of the Guozijian, who gave you the audacity to talk about the government and politics, don't step back quickly! β
When the people entered the palace gate, there was chaos, and several prisoners came in, Tan Huaiyu was all focused on the court, and he didn't notice that he came in with a tail behind him, and when he heard that Chen Hui suddenly reprimanded, he found Li Zhi behind him.
He frowned and didn't speak.
Li Zhi opened his mouth, not knowing what else to say, glanced at his teacher, and saw that Chen Hui's face was pale, so he hurriedly led a few students to withdraw.
After Li Zhi left, Tan Huaiyu spoke, and followed Li Zhi's words and said: "Although this person is just a student of Guozijian, but the minister privately thinks that what he said just now is not unreasonable, and the minister asked Jinyiwei to personally arrest Bian Lingyu and take him to the edict for interrogation, so that the people are angry!" β
This is true, but it can't be Li Zhi, he is a student of Guozijian, and it is not a good thing that his edge is too exposed.
He is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Chen family and a disciple of Chen Hui, and if Chen Hui reprimands him and then continues to say it, I am afraid that it is not appropriate, so this kind of thing that continues to offend people can only be done by Tan Huaiyu to the end.
Tan Huaiyu is a person who has been imprisoned, and these names before and after his death pose no threat to him at all, but the successors of the new faction must be protected.
As soon as Tan Huaiju's words came out, the ministers who supported the new faction, or the ministers of the old faction who had long been dissatisfied with the eunuchs' actions, all knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister seconded the proposal!" Please ask the emperor and Niangniang to make plans as soon as possible, and Jinyiwei will personally arrest Bian Zhang, the governor of Shandong. β
For Xia Weicai's business, Qiu Anren has been avoiding suspicion for the past two days, not in the court, the eunuch standing next to the throne is Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye is smart, knowing that he must not open his mouth at this time, so he closed his mouth like a mussel. Empress Dowager Lin subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to protect Qiu Anren's minions, but before she could speak, He Xiao, who was sitting in front of her, spoke first: "I am approved, I will immediately issue an arrest document, and Jinyiwei will personally arrest Bian Zhang, the governor of Shandong." β
Empress Dowager Lin was shocked at this time that the young man sitting in front of her could already block the light in front of her. He's a teenager, not a kid anymore.
He Xiao knew the drawbacks of changing the order of the day, and he had expressed his stance on Xia Weicai's matter before and protected the group of prisoners. Protecting that group of prisoners is equivalent to protecting the new faction.
Now that the emperor insists on protecting the new faction, it is useless for the ministers of the court and the central government to shout happily, so they have to kneel on the ground and shout long live.
