Chapter 396: Downfall
"Your Majesty, someone must be trying to harm me." Lin Nanfeng was already so frightened that his face was completely pale.
He understands that this matter is only afraid that it will not be good, even if he can get out, he is afraid that his son Lin Yun will not be able to keep it, and for a while, he is already extremely resentful of the five princes in his heart.
The emperor snorted coldly, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, you should tell me who can have such a ability to frame you." ”
"Your Majesty, I ......" Lin Nanfeng almost cried, "The three generations of ministers have been passed down, just such a son, and the ministers are indeed spoiled by some ......"
"Just a little spoiled?" The emperor said angrily, "Forcibly robbing the people's daughters and causing people to die, so that you regard the law as nothing, then I don't know what is wrong in your opinion." ”
"Your Majesty forgives you." Lin Nanfeng's heart sank to the bottom, he couldn't care about his image anymore, and pleaded with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, the minister is such a son, please also ask Your Majesty to save his life for the sake of the three generations of Weichen, and the minister will definitely discipline him strictly." ”
"Lord Lin, is it true that your son is a son, and the daughters of other people's families are not people? Your Majesty spared your son's life, who would spare the unjust girl who died unjustly? ”
"Exactly, as a court official, he didn't abide by his own body, he committed murder, and he dared to cover up so brazenly afterwards, Lord Lin, where have you read your sage books."
The ministers on Yin Jinghan's side immediately condemned Lin Nanfeng's behavior, and they were righteous and awe-inspiring, as if they were doing the right thing for heaven.
"Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong, please give Xiao'er another chance."
"Father, although it was Lin Gongzi who did something wrong this time, Lord Lin has done his best for the court all his life, and I ask my father to see this little bit of affection, so let's take it lightly."
Yin Jingyao pleaded.
Lord Lin is a person from his side, if he doesn't stand up and speak for others, I'm afraid that it will chill the hearts of those ministers who follow him.
However, he was angry in his heart, and he was also dissatisfied with his uncle He Lianfeng.
Look at who his subordinates are, this little thing can actually make people hold the handle, and now they have to come forward by themselves, it's just troublesome.
"Your Royal Highness's words are wrong, merit is merit and demerit, how can you easily forgive him for his fault of committing murder because Lord Lin has merit to the court, if this case is opened, everyone in the court will follow suit in the future, then do we want this law?" One of the courtiers immediately retorted.
Yin Jingyao was speechless.
After a while, he said, "But beyond the law, it is nothing more than human feelings, and Lord Lin's merits are also obvious to all." ”
"Your Highness, there should be no woman's kindness in governing the country, so that you can be clear up and down." The man was righteous again.
Yin Jingyao was completely speechless.
This matter was originally their fault, but now they are saying that there are many mistakes, so after Yin Jingyao made a show, he simply didn't speak.
"Father, the son suggests that this Lin Gongzi should be beheaded immediately, otherwise it will be difficult for the people to be angry." Yin Jinghan lost no time in the way.
"Yes, now this matter has caused huge public opinion among the people, if we don't plan early, I'm afraid that the prestige of the imperial court will be greatly reduced."
"Okay, since that's the case, then immediately put Lin Gongzi in prison, and after Dali Temple finds out, he will be beheaded immediately." The emperor said, he thought for a while, "As for Lin Nanfeng...... If the son committed murder, he was relieved of the death penalty and punished for three years. ”
"Your Majesty." Except for Lord Lin, who was already dead, the rest of the ministers all said in unison.
This matter was decided, and the prince's party suffered a defeat at the beginning of the year, and they suddenly became disgraced, but Yin Jinghan and his gang were very happy.
However, that Lin Gongzi was just a small shrimp, and the five princes were not trying to get rid of a useless Lin Yun, so they had already prepared a follow-up move.
Within two days, there was another major incident in the DPRK and China.
It turned out that Mr. Lin was in prison and did not withstand the criminal law, not only admitting his bastard behavior of bullying men and women over the years, but also shaking out the bribery that Lord Lin had accepted over the years.
Among them, including Lin Nanfeng a few years ago, he deducted the military salary for making winter clothes for the soldiers, and filled his own pockets.
Lin Gongzi's confession was immediately brought to the emperor, and after the emperor saw it, Long Yan was furious.
Before, Lin Feng had to investigate all this matter, but Lin Nanfeng was his person, and he had known about it for a long time, so in order to eliminate Lin Nanfeng's guilt, they had already found another substitute for the dead ghost to go out, but now things have taken such a reversal, and there was naturally another turmoil in the court.
Even He Lianfeng was punished by the emperor for his disadvantage.
As for the Lin family, the emperor immediately issued an order to raid the Lin family, and Lord Lin and Lin Gongzi were beheaded after the autumn, and all their families were confiscated as slaves, and the Lin family's property was confiscated.
The Lin family, who used to follow the general, fell like this, although it was only a small role, but the queen and her party were sensitively aware of something.
Lord Lin is a squire of the military department, and he doesn't seem to have much official position, but he is an indispensable position.
After all, the squire is in charge of the affairs of the military department, large and small, and knows everything about the military department.
So while letting their people lie dormant temporarily, they began to quickly choose a suitable successor, a position that must be someone they can trust.
But they understand, how can the five princes and the party not understand? They spent so much effort, not to bring down a squire, but to get the position of this squire in the military department.
Although they are first-class scholars, there is no shortage of people who are literate and martial, and no one competed for the military department before, it was because they had no chance, but now that Lin Nanfeng has fallen, Helian Feng has finally made a flaw in the iron wall of the military department.
Therefore, on the morning of the second day, the two parties quarreled fiercely again over who would succeed to the post of squire of the Ministry of War.
Both factions knew that this was a very important thing, so they didn't want to let the courtiers, who usually looked at each other unpleasantly, almost rolled up their sleeves and fought.
In fact, in the court, the partisan dispute has become increasingly serious, but the emperor can't find it, so this also makes everyone even more unscrupulous.
At this moment, the emperor looked at them with a look of not knowing who to listen to.
It was Prime Minister Wang Cheng who spoke out and broke the chaos.
"Your Majesty, after this incident, it can be seen that the importance of this position, the minister feels that Your Majesty still needs to send a trustworthy person to do it."
"Wang Qing, in your opinion, who do you think is the most suitable?" The Emperor said happily.
"The minister thinks that there are still a few squires in the military department, and they are enough to arrange the troops, so the current squire candidates don't have to be very capable, but they must be loyal to Your Majesty, preferably Your Majesty's bloodline, so that you can supervise these people for Your Majesty, so as not to happen like Lin Nanfeng again."
His proposal surprised everyone.
The blood of the emperor, isn't that the prince? Looking at several princes, except for Yin Jingrui, the rest of them have their own positions, this Prime Minister Wang, even if he wants to help Yin Jingrui, he doesn't need to be so obvious, right?
Yin Jingyao was startled, and was about to refute, but who knew that He Lianfeng, who had not spoken out all along, stood up.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the prime minister's proposal is good."
