Chapter 397: Alien Race
Of course, there are not 10,000 people in the Book of the People, but looking at the dense signatures on it, there are at least a few hundred. At the top is a line of words.
"All ethnic groups in Miao Jiang, crying blood and suing, Hu Zongxian brutalized Miao Jiang, corrupted the law, and hoped that the court would be punished!"
Ke Zifan looked at Xiao Feng lightly, don't you want evidence, now that I have taken out the evidence, what else do you have to say?
Jiajing's face also became a little unsightly, he knew that Miao Jiang was rude, and he didn't take the matter of suing Hu Zongxian to heart, but at this time, as soon as the evidence came out, the entire Ming court was embarrassed.
Xiao Feng's heart spun extremely quickly, thinking back to the time he spent with Hu Zongxian, as well as the comments of Hu Zongxian in history, and quickly came to a conclusion.
Receiving gifts may be true, Hu Zongxian has never been an honest person, and he has never lived a hard life. But he's not so stupid, he would give people a handle like this, I think it's because the painting girl doesn't know the depth, and someone designed it.
But since it has been calculated, it has to be recognized that this kind of thing itself is inexplicable, and the damage can only be minimized.
The cruelty of the various ethnic groups in Miao Jiang must be fake, he is not that kind of person, and there is no need to do so.
Hu Zongxian is a smart person and a normal person, he will not be a needless villain, it is estimated that he is too strict, which arouses disgust.
"The receipt that your envoy is holding cannot prove to be true or false. Even if it is true, it is clearly written that the painting girl helped people transfer the silver taels, why do you think that Hu Zongxian asked for bribes? ”
Ke Zifan sneered in his heart: "Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts, if it wasn't forcible to ask for it, who would be so generous, and it would be five hundred taels to give away?"
As for the transfer of silver tickets, it is just a trick to solicit bribes and give gifts. The second lady of Zheen Toast is a Yangzhou skinny horse raised since childhood, and she has never been in the Qinglou at all!
It's impossible for her to know any scholars! I sent someone to check the name and address of this scholar, but it is completely false! ”
Xiao Feng asked puzzledly: "People say that strong dragons don't suppress the head snake, what ability does Hu Zongxian have to forcibly ask for money from the local toast?" ”
Ke Zifan said: "Naturally, he can mobilize the local garrison." Although the grade of the patrol is low, it is a patrol hunting on behalf of the sky, and the local officials dare not listen. ”
Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Although the patrol has the right to transfer soldiers and horses, it is under the premise that the general army allows.
Could it be that the general soldiers where Miao Jiang is located are also afraid of Hu Zongxian? Or did they collude with Hu Zongxian and jointly persecute the toasts? ”
Ke Zifan glanced at Xiao Feng and knew that he was trying to muddy the water. If Hu Zongxian is sued alone, then Hu Zongxian's backstage is Xiao Feng, and he can catch all of them against the two.
If even the general soldiers of Miao Jiang were included in one go, not to mention that those general soldiers had their own backstage behind them, and the attack surface was too big, Jiajing would also be suspicious.
What's the matter, there are no good people in Hongdong County? I am a bad person according to the imperial history, and my general soldiers are also bad people, so you Miao Jiang are all good people?
"The general soldiers are all military generals, and it is inevitable that they will be afraid of civilian officials, and Hu Zongxian is extremely cunning, so it is inevitable that the general soldiers will be deceived.
Why should Lord Xiao bother to talk about him left and right, this receipt is a fact, although Hu Zongxian does not accept gifts in person, but he connives, his family members receive gifts, and the nature is just as bad.
If the imperial court doesn't believe it, you can check Hu Zongxian's property! ”
Xiao Feng thought to himself, your brother used this trick leftover. Rest assured, the Imperial Court will never inspect anyone's property because of your report.
Xiao Feng smiled: "Since the noble envoy said that Hu Zongxian is treacherous and cunning, and he is strict in his work, it is very difficult for the noble envoy to get such a receipt." Do you have a second one? ”
Ke Zifan frowned: "What, isn't a receipt enough to prove Hu Zongxian's crime of corruption?" Is it difficult for an adult to defend Hu Zongxian like this? ”
Xiao Feng shook his head: "This receipt, corruption of five hundred taels of silver, the court will definitely verify and verify it, and give Miao Jiang an explanation."
Even if it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false in the end, it is still reasonable for Miao Jiang! Your envoy is right, you can't be too difficult to sue, otherwise who would dare to sue? ”
Ke Zifan was overjoyed, he thought that Xiao Feng would drag it around, if Hu Zongxian lost his car to protect the handsome and retired the fourth lady, there would be some trouble in this matter.
He didn't expect Xiao Feng to surrender so quickly, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue.
"What about the Book of the Peoples? Don't you recognize it? ”
Xiao Feng shook his head again and again: "The Book of the People is really unrecognizable." If you are an official, you will offend people, and if you are an official who leads troops to war, you will offend people even more. m.
What's more, the crimes written by you, the people, are too vague, but you should say something specific, such as how Hu Zongxian brutalized Miao Jiang?
Did you rob someone's eldest daughter, or did you kill someone's little daughter-in-law? As far as I know, Hu Zongxian led troops to suppress two rebellions and built a few sections of the wall. ”
Ke Zifan's face sank: "Lord Xiao, as an important minister of the imperial court, do you despise public opinion so much?" Is public opinion so insignificant in your eyes? ”
Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "Yes, in the eyes of this official, not all public opinion is worthy of attention. ”
The crowd was shocked, can this be said? Jiajing also opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Feng blankly.
Senior brother, that's right, but this kind of fucking thing, just think about it in your heart, how can it be made public?
Ke Zifan was shocked at first, and then overjoyed, this guy in front of him is really Xiao Feng who Xiao Qin has praised repeatedly?
Could it be that he was poisoned by the Bliss Erysir and left sequelae, and his brain was filled with small tadpoles that rushed up from the counterattack?
"Lord Xiao! As a real person of the Ming Dynasty and an important minister of the court, it is really chilling that you would say such a thing!
Could it be that the Ming Dynasty is all officials who disregard public opinion? No wonder ......"
Xiao Feng smiled: "No wonder what? Is it any wonder that the Mongols invaded? Is it any wonder that Miao Jiang is not calm? Is it any wonder that there are so many pirates? ”
Ke Zifan hurriedly said: "These are all adults you said yourself, I haven't said a word!" ”
Xiao Feng said lightly: "There are many kinds of public opinion, some need to be paid attention to, and some do not need to be paid attention to, don't you understand this?" ”
Ke Zifan thought to himself that you were wrong, now it is too late to quibble, he raised his voice and did not let Xiao Feng fish in troubled waters.
"This is a new thing, but adults are talking about it, what kind of public opinion is not worth paying attention to?"
Xiao Feng smiled and said: "If the Tatars make up a book of the people, the first thing must be to return to the capital, rebuild the capital, and reproduce the glory of the Yuan Dynasty."
Do you say that this public opinion is worthy of the attention of the Ming court? ”
Well? Ke Zifan was stunned for a moment, unable to speak with his mouth open. Jiajing was also stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes closed again.
After a long time, Ke Zifan gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, this is a clever word, the Tatars are not the people of the Ming Dynasty, and their public opinion, the Ming court will naturally not pay attention to it." But how can Miao Jiang be the same? ”
Xiao Feng was surprised: "I don't like to hear this, what's wrong with the Tatars?" I, the Ming court, have always been gentle with the world and nurtured all the people.
During the Yongle period, after becoming an ancestor, he canonized the three kings of the Mongolian Warat tribe, including Mahamu, Taiping, and Guanpolo, as the three kings of Shunning, Xianyi, and Anle, and canonized the leader of the Tatar tribe, Arutai, as the king of Hening.
The Jurchens outside the Guanwai were even beaten like black-eyed chickens in order to obtain the canonization of the imperial court, which shows that they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty.
It is until now that Altan Khan has been on the table several times, asking for Banzai to be canonized, and Banzai has already drawn up the name 'King of Shunyi', but Altan Khan has offended Tianwei before, so it has been dragged out without sealing.
They all think that they are the people of the Ming Dynasty and are proud of the canonization of the imperial court, why do you insist that they are not the people of the Ming Dynasty? ”
Xiao Feng's words, the evidence is all right, and the rest is nonsense.
These things are all true, but it is estimated that they don't really want to be the people of the Ming Dynasty, but they just want to take advantage of the canonization and the Ming Dynasty.
But these words also can't be broken publicly, so no one can refute Xiao Feng's words, and Jiajing is even more satisfied and feels very face-saving.
Ke Zifan was in a hurry, Xiao Feng was obviously a strong word, but he said it reasonably, which made him feel very aggrieved, and he said angrily at the moment.
"My lord, Miao Jiang has always been the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of Miao Jiang have always been the people of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar, Ke Zifan was a ruthless move, and it was also a desperate move.
Under normal circumstances, the word rebellion is a big crime, but in this context, Xiao Feng is at fault first, and if he wants to be investigated, Xiao Feng will be hurt even more!
Xiao Feng was not in a hurry or annoyed, and said loudly in the uproar of the ministers: "Hasn't Miao Jiang rebelled yet?" Does Miao Jiang still think he is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty? ”
Ke Zifan responded louder: "Of course! Why should adults be alarmist, when did Miao Jiang not be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty? ”
Xiao Feng put away his smile and said coldly: "Your envoy, apart from foreign races, which prefecture and province of the Ming Dynasty dare to form an embassy to see Long live?" ”
In a word, all the uproar was gone. The ministers looked at Xiao Feng dumbfounded, and then turned their gazes to Ke Zifan in unison.
Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Miao Jiang has often sent envoys to Beijing, whether it is a close relationship or a bad relationship.
Uszang would also send envoys to the court, and the Jurchens would also send envoys to the court. Since there are envoys, there are naturally missions. Because this thing has always existed, people don't think there's anything wrong with it.
But speaking of which, these places are indeed theoretically the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the so-called envoys are really a bit reluctant.
Because when it comes to the details, only between two countries will envoys be used, how can there be an envoy within one country?
Ke Zifan said too much before, saying that Miao Jiang is different from other foreign races, but now the ironclad facts show that Miao Jiang has always felt that he is different from other provincial capitals, but similar to Wusizang, Jurchen and other places!
Ke Zifan gritted his teeth: "This, this is a long-standing tradition, if the court thinks it is inappropriate, it is natural not to be commensurate with the envoy." ”
Xiao Feng said coldly: "But I am a noble envoy, but you are very pleasant to hear, obviously you are from the bottom of your heart to the court."
In such a situation, I don't pay attention to the so-called public opinion of your Miao Jiang, is there any problem? ”
Ke Zifan knew that he had been forced into a corner, and he had to fight to the death to turn the situation around. Otherwise, even if the imperial court is concerned about the situation in Miaojiang and does not dare to surrender easily, it will be difficult for this envoy to make an inch.
Therefore, Ke Zifan turned from defense to offense: "Lord Xiao, why bother biting the words and using strong words."
Tusi is also an official set up by the imperial court, and I, as the son of the Great Tusi, went to Beijing as an official to report on my work, no problem, right? ”
Xiao Feng nodded: "Of course you can." ”
"Well, from now on, Miao Jiang will no longer be called the envoy mission, I, Ke Zifan, as the son of the official Da Tusi set up by the imperial court, ask the imperial court to pay attention to the public opinion of Miao Jiang, what else does Lord Xiao have to say?"
Xiao Feng looked at the four court clerks who were waving their pens like the wind, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, Ke Zifan, your Wanmin Book Imperial Court has accepted it, and it will be investigated together, you wait for the news, go down."
Go down? Where do I go? Ke Zifan gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, about Hu Zongxian, don't you give me a charter?" ”
Xiao Feng said coldly: "Hu Zongxian's matter, the imperial court will naturally investigate. As an official of the imperial court, you have already handed over the evidence to the imperial court, when and how the imperial court will investigate, is it up to you? ”
"You!" Ke Zifan was almost about to scold, what kind of person is this, he was polite and talked on an equal footing just now, and he had this attitude in a blink of an eye!
Seeing that Ke Zifan was trembling with anger, Xiao Feng softened his breath: "Ke Zifan, no matter whether what is written in the Book of All People is true or not, I believe you in the corruption of the five hundred taels of silver."
In this way, if you want a result, I will give you a result, and this official will suggest that the imperial court remove Hu Zongxian from the post of Hu Guangxun according to the imperial history, and send him to serve in front of the army.
It's only five hundred taels of silver, this punishment is already very heavy, if Hu Zongxian is ruthless and puts all the faults on the concubine, the punishment will only be lighter, what do you think? ”
Ke Zifan fell into deep thought, he really wanted to put Hu Zongxian to death. Because Xiao Qin said that Hu Zongxian was scheming and ruthless, it was a big help for Xiao Feng.
The iron-blooded suppression of the rebellion, the division and purchase of the honest Tusi, in the long run, Miao Jiang will definitely be gradually subdued by the imperial court, and the big Tusi will no longer have a transcendent status.
They designed for a long time, but they couldn't grasp Hu Zongxian's handle. So he arranged for Zheen Toast to pretend to be oppressed by the big toast and get close to Hu Zongxian.
Finally, when Hu Zongxian went out to inspect, the second lady of Tusi, who was the most proficient in handling affairs, deceived the fourth lady accompanying Hu Zongxian with compassion, and deceived the evidence of bribery.
Originally, I wanted the larger the amount, the better, but if the amount is too large, it will lead to doubts, why can a little toast's concubine save so much money?
So what Xiao Feng said was right, the evidence he could really come up with was just this receipt.
As for things like the Book of the People, the court believes in it, and if you don't believe it, it's a piece of waste paper, and it's too hard to wipe your buttocks.
Being able to kick Hu Zongxian out of Miao Xinjiang and demote him to the army is also an acceptable result.
After arguing for a long time, even his identity as a messenger has been lost, and this victory must be saved!
So Ke Zifan nodded, agreed to the disposal plan for Hu Zongxian, and then immediately tried to expand the results.
"Lord Xiao, regarding the second article, in the commodities of the tea and horse market, the addition of Miaojiang's specialties is reasonable, and I think the imperial court will definitely approve it."
Xiao Feng said with a smile: "There are many specialties in Miaojiang, and the tea and horse market passes through Miaojiang, adding a few commodities to make the people of Miaojiang a little richer, of course, it is a good thing." ”
Ke Zifan was overjoyed: "My lord is wise, so we can pass the second article?" ”
Xiao Feng shook his head: "But the commodities in the mutual market should not be too complicated, so let's do it, in addition to the Baihua Immortal Wine, Bliss Pill and other Jinmantuo-related medicines, other specialties can be listed." ”
Ke Zifan was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Are adults playing with me?" Among the specialties of Miaojiang, Baihua Xianjiu and Bliss Pill are the most important, and if these two things are removed, what else can be traded? ”
Xiao Feng looked at Ke Zifan: "Since you admit that you are an official of the imperial court, and the imperial court decreed that the Paradise Pill be listed as a forbidden drug, don't you know?" ”
Ke Zifan puffed up his chest: "The Pill of Bliss is a specialty of my Miao Jiang, it is an elixir for pain relief and aphrodisiac, and it is a three-point poison, is it because the Han people don't know how to use it, do they regard the elixir as a poison?"
May I ask my lord, I am afraid that the number of people who die under arsenic every year is more than 100 times more than the number of people who die under the pill of bliss, so why do pharmacies still sell arsenic?
Even in terms of other good medicines, if the doctor uses it wrong, it will also become poison, so why can't it be banned in pharmacies? ”
Xiao Feng was speechless, and only after a while did he slowly say, "Hearing you say this, it seems to make some sense!" ”
Ke Zifan sneered: "Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, the imperial court listed the Bliss Pill as a banned drug for no reason, I heard that it was Lord Xiao's idea."
If Lord Xiao can't make sense, please ask Lord Xiao to apply to the court in person to allow the Bliss Pill to return to the market! ”
Xiao Feng said slowly: "It is a medicine that is three parts poisonous, and in this regard, Baihua Immortal Wine is the same, and the imperial court should allow it to return to the market." ”
Ke Zifan nodded: "That's right!" These two are my Miao Jiang specialties, they are very valuable, and please allow the market to buy and sell! ”
Xiao Feng shook his head: "Still not." ”
Ke Zifan took a deep breath: "My lord, are you going to be unreasonable?" ”
Xiao Feng looked at him and said lightly: "Medicine can be sold, but production must be organized by the imperial court." If you want to sell, sell the ingredients and recipes to the imperial court. ”
Ke Zifan was furious: "My lord is doing this, it is clear that he is jealous of my Miaojiang specialty, and he wants to profit from it, what is the reason?" ”
Xiao Feng looked at him calmly and said slowly: "Because I can't believe in what Miao Jiang made, I'm afraid that there is Gu poison in it." ”
Some people died, but not completely......
