Li Yan's face was dark, if the soldier just now was still there, he would definitely strangle the other side.

But in the face of Emperor Qian's question, he couldn't avoid it, so he could only quickly refute it.

"Your Majesty, by no means! The minister still said that, if this criminal department Shangshu was executed, wouldn't it mean that His Majesty was coerced by public opinion? ”

"The minister thinks that His Majesty should have his own opinions, and this matter must not be so hasty!"

No matter what, Huo Yongzhi can't just die!

After hearing this, Emperor Qiandi seemed to be entangled again.

After a while, he spoke: "Since this is the case, then summon all the ministers into the palace to discuss." ”

"This matter is extremely urgent, don't slack off!"

With a wave of his hand, he commanded.

Soon, the maidservants and eunuchs outside the dormitory hurriedly left the palace to inform them.

At this time, Li Yan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

As long as the other ministers are there, then Huo Yongzhi will not be able to die.

The so-called glory and loss, Huo Yongzhi's overweight root system is not shallow, and the ministers will not let him die easily!

About a quarter of an hour later, a group of ministers had entered the palace with their feet raised.

Emperor Qian also walked towards the front hall, his face extremely solemn.

When he saw that everyone had come in, he first sighed, then held his head and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you must know about the affairs in the capital, right?" ”

The words fell, and the audience was dead silent at first.

It was a long time before sporadic sounds rang out.

"It seems that the literati gathered in the city to execute Lord Huo?"

"That's right, Jinyiwei arrested Master Huo, and now the literati are going to petition to execute him, it's really troublesome!"

Countless ministers had very embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Emperor Qian glanced at them, and said, "In that case, what do you Aiqing think?" ”

"The exam is coming soon, but the literati are going to boycott the exam because of fraud! How exactly can this be solved? ”

"Should I execute Huo Yongzhi immediately? To comfort the hearts of students all over the world? ”

He gets straight to the point!

Hearing this, the ministers immediately looked at each other.

Execute Huo Yongzhi? Of course not!

Let's not talk about what evidence this brocade guard has, he can directly win the second-grade master.

Even according to Huo Yongzhi's status, he can't just die.

Many people in the DPRK and China are very close to him, and they have a lot of interests involved.

If Huo Yong died, wouldn't everything be gone?

Soon, the ministers hurried to speak one after another.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no evidence whether Lord Huo is guilty or not now, and if he is directly executed, it is not in line with the law!"

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, how can you execute the top officials of the court because of these rabble?"

Voices continued to sound.

As Li Yan thought, the ministers basically disagreed with this matter.

Emperor Qian naturally expected it, and a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth.

Then he continued to speak in a low voice: "According to this meaning, do you mean that Aiqing means that I should pay attention to the evidence and not be coerced by public opinion?" ”

"That's right, Your Majesty! You are the king of a nation! You are the will of the people! ”

Some ministers also took the opportunity to pat themselves on the back.

After listening to this, Emperor Qiandi showed a strange expression.

"But no, that's not what you said before!"

"When the Chongsheng Shrine just collapsed a few days ago, all of you, including those students, let me execute Lin Yiqiu!"

"Why now, you can't let me be coerced by public opinion? It's the exact opposite of what you've done before! ”

When the words fell, there was a dead silence again.

The ministers bowed their heads, not knowing how to answer.

Li Yan didn't speak, but felt that Emperor Qian seemed to say this on purpose.

But he couldn't be sure, he couldn't see through Emperor Qian's true thoughts now.

At this time, He Weixin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, spoke: "Your Majesty, this matter is different from the previous matter!" ”

He Weixin's setting is a little messy.

He entered the palace all the way from the mansion, and it would hardly take long before he would be blocked by those literati!

Then there are rotten eggs, rotten cabbage leaves, all beckoning.

There was no way, He Weixin could only secretly change to a sedan chair halfway, so as to avoid the siege of those literati.

It's just that even so, his appearance has completely lost the majesty of the Ministry of Rites.

When Emperor Qian looked at him like this, he only felt that he couldn't hold back and wanted to laugh.

"Lord He, why is it different? Why do I feel exactly the same? ”

"Your Majesty, Lin Yiqiu defiled the Temple of Literature because of his identity as a eunuch, so he caused the sages to be angry!"

"This incident is the reason for the anger of the previous students!"

Speaking of this, He Weixin stepped forward and continued to start talking nonsense.

"And this time, the reason why Lord Huo caused public resentment is completely illusory evidence! No one can prove that he is really guilty! ”

"Even if it's Jinyiwei, the minister heard that he just regarded him as an important suspect!"

"One is Lin Yiqiu, who is sure to be the murderer of the collapse of the Chongsheng Temple, and the other is Lord Huo, who is currently running to different places and is not sure whether he is really guilty! Of course it's different! ”

What he said was reasonable, and the ministers below began to nod their heads after hearing it.

"That's right, Lord Huo can't be sure that he did it at this time, how can he be directly executed?"

"Lin Yiqiu's incident before, there is no doubt that it was the spirit of the sages who condemned him! That's for sure! ”

"Well, so Lin Yiqiu should die, Lord Huo must not die so hastily!"

Soon, the opinions of the ministers below have been united, and they all feel that what He Weixin said has no flaws at all!

It's just that after listening to Emperor Qian, the corners of his mouth suddenly sneered.

"Lord He, you don't think that if I can't leave the palace, I don't know what's going on outside, right?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

After a while, I saw Emperor Qiandi waving his hand.

"Come on, let Ting'er come in!"

The words fell, and not long after, I saw a servant girl walk in from outside the hall.

And she is the maidservant girl who chatted with those literati for a long time in Xiangyue Building before!

"Slave and maid, see Your Majesty!"

"Ting'er, I remember that you went out of the palace to inquire about the situation for me before, and you know the situation of the students outside very well."

"In that case, then you should talk to these ministers."

Emperor Qiandi said in a deep voice.

Ting'er arched her hand and smiled at the corner of her mouth.

Previously, Canghong relied on her to directly reverse the public opinion of the literati, and speaking of which, she naturally knew best.

In the next second, I only heard her voice come out slowly.

"The literati gathered to protest this time because the Shangshu of the Criminal Department participated in the fraud."

"Your Majesty, that's what they've been trying to do from the beginning!"

"What about the Shrine before? What did the literati think? ”

Emperor Qian asked.

Ting'er smiled and spoke.

"Your Majesty, those literati are not stupid, how could the sages get angry because the eunuchs entered the Temple of Literature?"

"There is only one reason for anger, and that is Lord Huo's fraud!"
