Chapter 565: You Live or Die
"Your Majesty, Song Nan's move is very absurd, and he indiscriminately accused others of rebellion in the palace without evidence, is this the work of important ministers in the court? If everyone is like this, then won't the court be a mess? Ridiculous, ridiculous. Jiao Fang finally grabbed the handle, and if he didn't come out to fight back at this time, it would be when.
"What Lord Jiao said is that Lord Song acted improperly, and besides, the Xishan Courtyard is the private property of the emperor to Gonggong Liu, and in the absence of substantiated evidence, he will go to search the outer residence of the eunuch in charge of the inner court, which is too arrogant, and the emperor must think twice." Gu Zuo echoed.
Xu Guangzuo, the prince of Dingguo, who has been watching the development of the situation, also spoke out in time: "Your Majesty, although Jinyiwei has the right to play rumors, how can this right be abused, if the emperor allows Song Nan to act misbehaps, then what privacy does the minister of the DPRK and China have, isn't everyone in danger?" If you live in your own house, you have to worry about the unreasonable search of Jinyiwei, and what is the use of the law? ”
"Yes, yes, what Grandpa Guo and a few adults said is very true, how can it be said that you can search it, it's ridiculous."
"Song Nan has always been domineering, this time he must not rely on his nonsense, and he will make nonsense without real evidence, which is simply ridiculous."
There were all kinds of discussions among the courtiers, accusing Song Nan of being arrogant and unreasonable. Zhengde pinched his chin and hesitated, on the one hand, he felt that Song Nan seemed to have caught something, so he dared to do this in the palace, if there was indeed evidence that Liu Jin colluded with King Anhua to rebel, it was a terrible thing, and the closest people around him actually had ill intentions, it was absolutely not to be taken lightly; But Zhengde suspected that Song Nan had another purpose, and for more than ten days, Song Nan had not found any valuable evidence, so why did he suddenly conclude that there was so-called important evidence in Liu Jin's Xiangshan Courtyard? What the hell is this guy playing?
Facing the accusations of dozens of courtiers, Song Nan was fearless and sneered: "With so many people speaking for Liu Jin, don't you want to think about it, if Liu Jin's collusion against the king is confirmed, you will all be regarded as Liu Jin's accomplices?" ”
"I'm just saying fair things, and Lord Song is threatening people again in the palace, it's really tight." Xu Guangzuo sneered.
Song Nan walked up to Xu Guangzuo and stared at him and said, "Old Man Xu originally came to administer justice, and Old Man Xu couldn't take care of his own affairs, but now he has to take care of other people's affairs." ”
Xu Guangzuo said angrily: "How can the old man not manage his own affairs? You can make it clear. ”
Song Nan sneered: "That is the case, I didn't plan to involve so many people today, Old Man Xu made up by himself, then don't blame me for not giving you face." ”
Xu Guangzuo smiled and said: "Don't give face to the old man, the old man doesn't want the face you give." ”
Song Nan sneered and didn't answer, turned around and said to Zhengde: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and today the minister has simply let go, in addition to impeaching Liu Jin for rebellion, the minister also wants to impeach the Duke of Dingguo Xu Guangzuo for the crime of dereliction of duty, and ask for his removal from office and a thorough investigation of this person." ”
"Song Nan, are you crazy?" Zhang Mao exclaimed again, Song Nan died like this, the widow is decided, maybe she will be implicated, this guy bites like a mad dog, and the bite is a person who can't bite, Liu Jin has a lot of power in the court, no one dares to provoke him, just now he was still thinking hard about what way he could use to make Song Nan escape this time, after all, he couldn't watch Song Nan finish. But now that he bit Xu Guangzuo again, and dragged the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies into the water, the old nobles of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies hugged together, and Song Nan was really difficult to save this time.
The Fengtian Palace also seemed to have exploded, and the ministers were all surprised and inexplicable, and today the palace climaxed one after another, and Song Nan successively impeached the two powerful figures in the court, which was simply crazy; Someone secretly sighed, Song Nan has also been prosperous in the past few years, and has done a lot of earth-shattering things, living in the temple in his early twenties, with high officials and unlimited scenery; After all, he is still too young, and he will his tail when he has a little credit, and he is still tender after all, and he is still tender after all, this is good, it is estimated that he will run faster, and he will fall down faster.
However, Song Nan was not finished yet, and continued: "The third thing that the minister wants to impeach is Lu Wan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who knows nothing about the behavior of his subordinates, and is not suitable to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War, so he should be removed immediately." ”
Crazy, crazy! All the people have no expectations for Song Nan, this person is hopeless, and in the blink of an eye, all the three parties of the inner court and the outer court have been offended, and they have directly turned themselves into a loner; Originally, there were still many people in the outer court who planned to support Song Nan when it was advantageous, after all, if there was a chance to bring down Liu Jin, it was also what they wanted to see the most, and now that Song Nan took a bite, these people had no idea of helping except sneering.
"Your Majesty, look, all the officials are bad people, and he Song Nan is a good person, the emperor simply issued a holy decree to let us all go home and return to old age, hahaha." Liu Jin is not happy, this Song Nan is a pig, no, pigs are not as good.
Zhengde's face did not have half a smile, compared with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, Zhengde understood what Song Nan was referring to better than them for the first time, because he personally read the letter of allegiance and account book presented by Zhang Yong, but Song Nan made a little fuss, and he couldn't get to Xu Guangzuo and Lu Wan at all.
"Your Majesty, you are going to be the master of the old minister today, the old minister has been loyal all his life, and he has never been so humiliated in the court, Song Nan, where is the old minister? Where is the malfeasance? You have to come up with evidence, otherwise the old man will not be done with you. Xu Guangzuo jumped to his feet and scolded angrily, and his first-class acting skills squeezed out a few tears, as if he had been greatly wronged, and a group of counts from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies hurriedly supported his body, and at the same time glared at Song Nan angrily.
Song Nan took out a stack of papers from his arms and said: "Zhang Yuan, treasurer of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Ma Heng, director of the Military Armament Department of the Ministry of War, wrote a letter of allegiance to the traitor Zhu Ningyao, who took advantage of their positions to secretly supply the traitor Zhu Ningyao's blade armor with 13,000 sets, 300 firearms, the details of the current accounts, and the details of the silver taels collected here, and the emperor has already seen it; The eunuch Zhang Yongzhang, the head of the Imperial Horse Prison in the inner court, seized this thing with his own hands, and I just didn't want to make the matter public, and I have been secretly tracking down whether these people were instructed by others. ”
The earth-shattering thunder rumbled over everyone's heads, and the ministers were stunned, scorched on the outside and tender on the inside; Yang Tinghe was stunned for a while and said, "Your Majesty, do you already know all these things?" ”
Zhengde sighed and nodded: "Zhang Yong came back from Ningxia Town first, and showed me these evidences that night, and I handed these evidence to Song Nan to let Song Nan verify the authenticity, and at the same time track down whether there is a master messenger behind the scenes." I don't want to believe it, but it's true, and I don't believe it. ”
Yang Tinghe took a stack of papers from Song Nan's hand, looked through it carefully, sighed and handed it to Xu Guangzuo and said, "Old Master Xu, I'm afraid it's true." ”
Xu Guangzuo Muran took it, and after reading it, he was silent, and the old ministers of the cabinet and the military in the hall were all stunned, and they all understood why Song Nan was so arrogant, this time there was really evidence.
"Song Nan, you impeached Xu Guangzuo and Lu Wan, but did you find any evidence related to this matter? You might as well take it out as well. "Li Dongyang is old, and the rapidly changing situation in the hall today makes him a little unable to react, but his thinking is still quite clear, these are the crimes of the subordinate personnel of the Governor's Office and the Military Department of the Five Armies, if there is no further evidence, it is difficult to impeach Xu Guangzuo and Lu Wan.
Song Nan shook his head and said: "There is no indication that they were instructed by others, these two people were arrested and detained by my Beizhen Fusi last night, and their confession was coerced and lured by Zhu Ningjiao, which was a personal act."
"I see, then it can't be said that Xu Guangzuo and Lu Wan are at fault."
"Li Shoufu, as a Shangguan, shouldn't he be impeached if there is a thief in a key department under him?"
"Far-fetched, far-fetched." Li Dongyang shook his head and said.
"Li Shoufu is afraid that he forgot how Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the original ministry, resigned, wasn't it also a Cui Xiu in the ministry, at that time, everyone said that he was old and faint and had the crime of dereliction of duty, didn't Ma Wensheng resign because of this? There is a precedent to follow, but how is it far-fetched at this point? It's also ridiculous. ”
Li Dongyang couldn't argue for a while, only shook his head and said nothing.
Yang Tinghe didn't want Song Nan to bite this matter to death, Xu Guangzuo didn't care if he was impeached, but if Lu Wan was impeached, it would greatly hurt the vitality of the foreign court, and if he took advantage of the situation to seize the post of the military department, it would be an unexpected loss, so he played: "Your Majesty, in response to the impeachment of Xu Guangzuo and Lu Wan, the minister feels that it is not the top priority of the day, after all, Old Master Xu and Lu Shangshu are not the masterminds behind the scenes, but the pickets are not strict." This matter can be postponed to the court for a decision, but Lord Song's impeachment of Liu Jin for rebellion has to be brought to light, if this matter is not resolved, there will be turmoil inside and outside the government and the opposition, please ask the emperor to make a decision. ”
Zhengde nodded and said: "What you said is, Song Nan, you keep saying that there is evidence hidden in the Xiangshan Courtyard, why didn't you report it to me in advance?" Based on speculation and rumors, how can I allow you to search Liu Jin's private house? ”
Song Nan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister originally planned to pay tribute to the emperor in advance, but first, I only got the exact news last night, so the time was a little rushed, and secondly, if Liu Jin has a different heart, this matter must not be taught to him to perceive, and the report will be known by his ears and eyes when he enters the palace late at night, I am worried that Liu Jin will take risks that will be detrimental to the emperor, or transfer and destroy the evidence, so I can only choose to impeach in the court, and ask the emperor to understand the painstaking efforts of the ministers." ”
Zhengde frowned and said, "So are you sure that there is evidence of Liu Jin's conspiracy in the Xiangshan Courtyard?" ”
Song Nan said: "The minister is convinced. ”
Liu Jin said coldly: "Song Nan, you are biting me to death, let's ask you, if you can't find any so-called evidence, what should you do?" ”
Song Nan said: "If I can't find evidence, I have my own law to deal with me, is Gonggong Liu worried that I will repay my debts?" ”
Liu Jin said coldly: "You defile my name so much, our family is not with you, today in front of the emperor, let's set up a life and death situation, if you can't find evidence of my Liu Jin's rebellion, how about self-apologisation?" ”
Song Nan laughed and said: "Gonggong Liu seems to hate me to the core, if it is just a failure of impeachment, it is just a crime of slander, it is a big deal to lose his official position and return to the field, but he does not have to lose his life; Father-in-law Liu is afraid that I will not die. ”
"That's what you forced you to do, do you dare?" Liu Jin gritted his teeth and said.
"Why not? If I find out your evidence, I only hope that you will not try to quibble, everyone knows that you are good at quibbling, and this time I hope you will not play those tricks, this time it is not the last time the cabinet came to impeach you, and no one will help you to save your life. ”
Of course Liu Jin knew what Song Nan's words meant, that time the cabinet led more than 100 civil officials in the foreign court to collectively impeach the Eight Tigers headed by himself, if it wasn't for Song Nan to turn things around, I am afraid that he would have been overthrown that time; Song Nan's words were sarcastic to himself, there would be no more good things like that.
