Chapter 333: A White Wolf Fell into a Dream
Lin Fengxuan's words are unreasonable, but it makes Nan Jinyan more and more big, although his brother-in-law is really not a good man, but murdering the emperor's relatives, even if it is unintentional, is a big crime, the third brother is eyeing him, wishing he would break his arm so that he can swallow his power. Lin Zhicheng is a practical person, quite a bit of ability, if he is gone, I am afraid that he will not have face in the future, and he will shout again in private.
He lit the lamp overnight and sat down to drink with 18 of the more trusted advisers. There are also two or three people who reported to him, saying that the three princes have recently introduced a new tax law in the Jiangnan area, although the action is small and secretive, in the end it is not unknown to anyone, and the emperor's people are also watching, just waiting to see the effect. At this juncture, there really can't be any more accidents. Nan Jinyan hesitated for a long time, but still made up his mind to protect Lin's sincerity.
Even if it is temporarily demoted, it doesn't hurt, and the father still has a few years to live? When the time comes, when he sits in that position, he can still transfer the Lin family back. It's just that if he moves farther away, he is still sure that he can reach for the border. Xu Jinfei's military power will definitely be withdrawn, and who doesn't want to get a piece of the pie when the time comes. Nan Jinyan's mind turned sharply, thinking almost with a splitting headache, the boy next to him poured the fifth bowl of tea, and the prince waved his hand, signaling him not to add more.
The strategists came to a conclusion, and retired one by one, and Nan Jinyan said tiredly: "Sleep for an hour, and then I will ask Lone to go to the Hajj to see him." ”
Today, the wind and rain are coming, and the whole palace is shrouded in a heavy dark cloud, and there is a heavy rain on the way. The heavens are not beautiful, and it is impossible for the ministers to enter the palace by car, and the little eunuchs rushed to hold umbrellas for the ministers, and some old courtiers had to bend over and thank the emperor for his compassion for the courtiers.
The emperor's face was not very good, but his spirit was still quite uplifted, and everyone told them some nonsense that was not salty or light, such as the annual floods, the problem of salt tax laws, the trade of the southeast coast, and the recent border entanglement between the two states, etc., etc., big and small, all of which irritated the emperor's ears. How else to say that it is difficult to be an emperor? Two problems were solved, and three problems immediately popped up. The most terrifying thing is that the first two problems have planted a little bane, and I don't know when it will pop up.
The assassination of the Nine Kings, of course, should actually be classified as a case of negligence, and it has long been handed over to His Majesty the Emperor's desk. The emperor's face sank like water, and he couldn't see a single wave. There is a minister in the princelings, who is the Zhongshu Shilang of the fourth grade, who cautiously came out to explore the way and said: "Qi Qi Sheng, the case of the assassination of the nine kings has been transferred to the Criminal Department for processing, and the facts of this case are not complicated, but the minister has a word, which is not an excuse, but he wants to talk about it for the son of the Patriotic Mansion." ”
The emperor nodded, his face was not angry, and the Zhongshu waiter cautiously continued: "The son of Lin Yuheng, although he is young, but there is nothing wrong with him on weekdays, listening to those little two who testified, it was the ninth prince who provoked first, and both of them drank too much, if it is really discussed, it should be regarded as negligence and injury." The sincerity of the patriotic public forest has always been a practical person, and he has also made a lot of achievements. has only one son, so it is inevitable to spoil some. I also hope that the Holy Lord will investigate the truth and be lenient. ”
A few people standing near the prince also responded twice, but there was a minister on the right, Nan Jinyan used his afterglow to see that it was a doctor of the imperial history who had some dealings with Xu Jinfei, who had always been upright and upright, and it was extremely difficult to deal with. The man bowed and spoke sarcastically.
"Could it be that a sentence of innocence and a sentence of drunkenness can be lightly revealed? The Nine Kings also had real feats before, if Lin Yuheng was not severely punished, how could he be in power? If everyone excuses themselves with a drunken mistake and is not responsible, then if I drink today, can I go to this adult's mansion to mess around? Wei Guogong is talented, but he has no way to teach his son, so he should sort out and reflect on his own talents. Not only can it not be fair and just, but it is still trying to shirk responsibility, how can it be so reasonable? ”
Lin Zhicheng couldn't sit still, Ge Laozi, this matter had made him gloomy, but there were many princelings, he thought about it, how could he make a living, this imperial doctor was sharp, and he really wanted to cut off his lone seedling. He came out of the ranks, bowed to the ground, and sturdily sturdied three times, and said: "My emperor is above, Lin is loyal, the sky can be seen, and the godson has no way, so he asks for blame and resigns, and only asks for the saint to see a piece of the parents' hearts and be fulfilled." People can't be resurrected after death, so why take an extra life? ”
Nan Jinyan strode out, pretending to help Lin Zhicheng up, and sighed again: "Wei Guogong, please get up quickly, my father is a benevolent king, how can there be a reason for heavy punishment." Father and son-in-law also have a word, although this Lin Yuheng, although he is stubborn, he also helped his son to do some things, such as the time when the southwest horse merchant was also saved by him. Nan Jinyan said, he was also feeling a cold sweat in his heart, and secretly said in his heart, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, in order to save your life, Lone is also out of the way this time.
The ministers began to discuss, a small wave belonged to eating melons and watching the play, the princelings were not interested in wooing, and other parties were not interested in going. The third prince, Nan Jinwei's expression moved slightly, but he didn't rush out of the column to speak, obviously still thinking about something.
The official department Shangshu said: "Enlighten the saint, as the ancient saying goes, the saint has a benevolent heart, and he also acts like wind and thunder. Since Wei Guogong is so nervous and loves his son, he should also be given a chance. If the title is stripped and demoted to a commoner, the minister thinks that it is also a good way. After listening to the first half, Nan Jinyan thought it was from his side, but when he heard the second half, he didn't stand up and kicked the official Shangshu out.
Nan Jinyan was not in a good mood, and was about to step forward to fight for a demotion for the Lin family, but the new military department Shangshu Langqing stretched out his hand, stopped him, shook his head, and came out of the ranks by himself. This newcomer is also very good, and at a critical moment, he still knows that he is in front of the master. Nan Jinyan was very satisfied, and was about to listen to some words, but Lang Qing bowed to the ground, held up a stack of folds, and said in a clear voice: "The minister has this music, the prince of Nanyang, Nan Jinyan has several charges, and I hope that Your Majesty will open it in person." ”
Nan Jinyan's eyes widened, and he finally knew what he felt when something was wrong today. The chief eunuch presented the fold and handed it to the emperor, Lang Qing continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has encroached on thousands of acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River at a price dozens of times cheaper, hoarded countless weapons, and has very close contacts with the horse dealer in the north of Nasai. Not only that, he was corrupt and took bribes, and during the autumn examination last year, many of the scholars he promoted and the bribed money went into the pockets of His Royal Highness the Prince. The rest of the charges will not be repeated by the minister, and His Majesty can watch it himself. If there is any doubt, most of them have sufficient evidence and are very complete. ”
For a while, everyone was in an uproar. Unexpectedly, he pulled out a small one and a big one, and the emperor was also furious. Although he was angry about the death of the nine kings, after this son was biased towards the prince's party, he was accustomed to seeking pleasure and being willing to degenerate, and his friendship for his son was much less. Unexpectedly, as he spoke, the fire burned to Nan Jinyan's head. This idiot, who doesn't know how to restrain himself on weekdays, pokes it out in one breath at this time, how can he stop it, and block the mouths of the people?
Moreover, many things in this are also deeply tabooed by the emperor, good fields and horses can still be endured, hoarding weapons is a big taboo in the country, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to endure the torture of the years, and finally take the risk to force the palace. When the time comes, not only will it lose a qualified heir, but the country will also be broken. If there is no suitable one in the future, it will be another effort to cultivate it.
At this moment, all the ministers were there, and it was impossible for the emperor to make any partiality, so he had to harden his heart, throw down a jade paperweight on the desk, and shouted: "Above the court, what kind of system is the noisy shouting." I am really sad, and I will definitely deal with it impartially. The prince will also be sent to the criminal department, and the three divisions will be interrogated, and make it clear, and you will come to write a clear excerpt with me again, and you must leave nothing out. As for Wei Guogong's family, cut off the title and demoted to a petty official, do you have any opinions? ”
Where did everyone still have opinions, if they wanted to argue again, they couldn't tell when, the fire would burn on their heads, and they all retreated, leaving the emperor alone, and pondered for a long time in the empty hall.
The matter of the prince has dragged on for a long time, after all, the forces involved behind it are complex, and the nobles and nobles who support or oppose it are arguing with each other, some still want to protect the prince, and some have already taken advantage of this east wind to slip away for respect. When Zhao Yingying heard the news, she really gritted her silver teeth. Originally, as a concubine, she couldn't get out of the relationship no matter what, and she was not allowed to be demoted to a commoner with the prince and exiled to the frontier.
But she was born in the Anguo Mansion and had the face of the Queen Mother, so she finally saved a little opportunity. If you want to give it a go from now on, to wait for the illusory border opportunity, or let the Queen Mother come forward, go first and leave, even if you can't find such a good wishful husband in the future, it is not a problem to marry a small family. It's just that Zhao Yingying can be willing to spend her life like this. In order to compare with Lin Fengxuan, she used to eat all the best tonic pills in order to compare with Lin Fengxuan, but now she has just been tested and is pregnant.
If you give up all of them, not only will your previous efforts be wasted, but even the child will be conceived in vain. Zhao Yingying immediately made a decision, fought for half her life, and simply followed the prince to the frontier, saying that he was degraded as a civilian, as long as he got up with his military exploits, he might not have a chance to make a comeback. If this trick wins, the prince will definitely be wholeheartedly devoted to her, at least in the future, it is very stable.
Here, Zhao Yingying said goodbye to her father with tears, but Lin Fengxuan had other plans.
