The Mei family's charges are very clear, colluding with illegal framing of important ministers of the court, insulting relatives with reckless words and deeds, and secretly forming a party to accept bribes.

The first two are at most dismissed from office, degraded and returned to their hometowns, but the last one is more interesting.

The crime of forming a party is like Liu Ke specially looking for the bottom, and he has to pull the Mei family father and son to the guillotine.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in all dynasties, and under normal circumstances, when the party is the same and the party fights against each other, it is relatively rare to use the crime of forming a party to drive the opponent out of the court and kill him.

However, there is no exact punishment mechanism for this crime in the law, and to put it mildly, it is a party for personal gain, which is not very harmful, and the dismissal of officials is.

But if you put it more seriously and add two words to the end, such as disloyalty and disobedience, then it will be a big deal. At the lightest, the family was exiled, and the family went to the vegetable market neatly.

No, the thirteenth master who wants to be the master of the blue sky will already have a red face with excitement, and shout to ask someone to lift out three flickering guillotine knives.

lifted the red cloth covered by the tiger's head, pointed at Mei Xinyi, who was pale, and shouted.

"Come on, open the ~~~~~ ~~~~~~"

Lose your marbles! Lose your marbles!

Cai Quan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, couldn't care about eating melons and watching the show, so he instantly got up from the Taishi's chair and rushed over, stopping the royal soldiers who were dragging Mei Xinyi.

"Stop it all! Without a conviction from the Division, who would dare to kill an official of the imperial court? Don't quit yet! ”

The prestige of Lord Qiuguan is still very strong, at least the personal soldiers of the palace dare not offend.

Liu Ke was not happy, the play was sung to this part, and he finally convicted the people of the Mei family, but he didn't want to kill "Chen Shimei", he couldn't understand his thoughts.

"I said, Lord Cai, isn't this charge clear enough?"

Liu Ke pointed at the Mei family's father and son dissatisfied, jumped to his feet and scolded: "The unthankful, untrustworthy and disloyal dog things are cheaper for them, you old man is so uninteresting, do you want to learn from the queen mother in that play, and you have to stop Ben Qingtian from eliminating harm for the people" Chen Shimei'......"

"Loyal to the king, this official is the secretary of the criminal department, even if you want to kill it, it is also the official's business, and it is not your turn to take care of it!"

Cai Quan was not lightly angered by Liu Ke's unstingy appearance, and went back directly, flicked his sleeves, and shouted at several officials of the Criminal Department: "Still hiding aside to watch the play? Go and call someone to send the Mei family's father and son to the prison of the Criminal Department. A little later, and someone else will finish your job! ”

"Ahhh

Liu Ke was also so angry that the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and smashed the cup as a number: "This king is going crazy!" Come on, stop an official from the Criminal Department for me, drag the Mei family father and son over, and open the ~~~~~"

The surrounding soldiers rubbed and rubbed, Cai Quan frowned, glanced around and shouted angrily: "Dare to go to the former, all of them will be escorted to the criminal department to await trial!" ”

Liu Ke was provoked by Cai Quan, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to him, but he was hugged by a person.

"Father, don't make trouble. Cai Gong is right, that is, if you really want to convict the Mei family, that is also the business of the Three Law Divisions, what are you making a fuss about......"

Liu Chong, the son of the world, dragged his father's waist back with great effort, and gave a few cousins a look by the way.

is tired, his father is unreliable, he is not like a son as a son, but he has to be ready to clean up the mess for his father all the time.

"Loyal to the king, learn more from the son of Chongshi, at such an old age, he is still muddy, no wonder he will be hung on a tree by a saint and whipped every few days!"

Cai Quan is also a person who takes revenge overnight, and Liu Ke, who is clamoring to smash the criminal department, is a loss.

Liu Ke, who was poked in the lung tube, was really angry this time, and gestured at Cai Quan, and scolded even more rudely: "Damn, Cai Quan, you deceive people too much, this king is doing something for the people, hindering you." You *****, come and come, you have the ability to come forward, see if the master doesn't beat you out...... Woowoowoo......"

Liu Chong freed up a hand to cover his father's chattering and scolding mouth, and apologized with a wry smile: "Duke Cai forgives the sin, my father has made a mistake again, don't take it to heart, the next day the junior will come to the door and ask Gong Cai for the guilt." ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

Although Liu Ke was covered by his son, this whining sound was obviously full of motherhood.

Cai Quanhui glared at Liu Ke, who was glaring angrily, and waved his hand indifferently: "The old man knows very well what kind of character the king is loyal to, Chong Shizi should quickly take him back and hand him over to the princess, I don't know what kind of turmoil will be caused if the trouble continues." ”

The play is almost done, and he has seen it almost enough, so he quickly dragged this bastard away, and if he continues to act, he will have to go through the gangs.

It's already very good for him to be able to act with the bastard, so he can't really let this mess up the law and discipline of the country.

"The younger generation will take his father away, and the matter here will trouble Cai Gong. Cui Changshi, entertain the princes. ”

The whining sound gradually weakened, Liu Chongzhen directly dragged the gagged father who couldn't speak, and the group of royal soldiers did not step forward to stop and help their own prince, except for the four people who were guarding the Mei family's father and son, the rest skillfully hid their bodies and retreated.

Evil, the prince is not in tune, His Royal Highness the Prince is really difficult!

It's good to have a princess......

"Hey, where is the Thirteenth Master?"

Xia Shouzhong, who came to deliver the message, came down from the high pavilion and did not see Liu Ke in the front yard.

He bowed to the central bosses, and asked Zhou Jiong, the highest-ranking cabinet chief assistant in the audience: "Pavilion Elder, there is a will, what about the prince?" ”

The courtyard was really lively, Zhou Jiong always sat firmly on the Taishi chair and watched the play with a smile, even if the old thirteen wanted to be a person, he didn't make a sound.

Hearing this at this moment, Zhou Ge Lao was still calm, and said in the direction of the inner courtyard: "Fang Cai Zhongshun Wang was going to be mad, he quarreled with Cai Ge Lao, and was dragged to the inner courtyard by Chong Shizi. ”

This......

Xia Shouzhong could imagine Fang Cai's situation, and he sighed and was about to retire.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, you are here, then Your Majesty must be here."

Cai Quan grabbed Xia Shouzhong's sleeve: "If the Son of Heaven doesn't sit in the hall, why did Your Majesty run out of the palace again?" Why don't you hurry up and bring the official over......"

What kind of will is this, it is important to run away quickly!

Xia Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, he subconsciously looked at the high pavilion in the distance, Cai Quan and the others also looked over, and the emperor who was watching the play with a clairvoyant mirror suddenly felt a chill on his spine.

Well? Is this to set yourself on fire?

He picked up Liu Shuo, who was still eating melons, and beckoned the prince and Jia Cong to run away.

He knows his own affairs, since the assassination of Tiewangshan three years ago, the most unseen thing about this group of courtiers under his rule is that the emperor took a few people to sneak outside the palace to hang out.

"It's over, this group of old men is going to come and scold me again. Hurry up and go, you'll be stuck here when it's late! ”

……

The emperor ran away successfully, but the courtiers still did not let him go.

The next day, Liu Heng was blocked in Fengtian Palace. Fortunately, he had already taken precautions, and when the palace brought out the Mei family's father and son, everyone's firepower immediately turned their guns and turned the foaming star to Mei Xinyi, the editor of the Hanlin Academy.

Mei Xinyi will still catch lice in the prison of the Criminal Department, the Mei family is imprisoned, and he will be sentenced to death by waiting for the Sanfa Temple to go through the process.

Of course, there are also those officials who secretly meet with Mei Xinyi and form parties for personal gain.

Liu Ke, who sang a big play, was prepared, and as soon as a list that had been written long ago was released, the dragon guards began to arrest people all over the city.

Including He Baoshan, the general of Fengguo, Xu Xiuqun, the left senator of the General Political Division, Guo Shifeng, the Cheng of the Taifu Temple, and Lu Zhixun, a member of the Qing Officials of the Ministry of Rites, 28 officials of the sixth grade or above, as well as 17 wealthy businessmen and tycoons in Beijing, were all arrested by the Long Guards and thrown into the imperial prison.

The situation changed overnight, and the Jiangnan Xilin Party and those wealthy businessmen in the southeast, their spokesmen in the court were less than 20% of the original, and the losses were not small.

After the next dynasty, the secret letters intercepted by the secret agents of the dragon guard were several times more than in the past, and the secret guards outside the city even ate the flying pigeons.

According to Cao Dudu's instructions, the dragon guard copied the letter and sent it to the palace, and then sealed the original letter and sent it back to its original place to prevent it from startling the snake.

"I didn't expect that catching a Mei Xinyi would alarm so many mice."

The emperor flipped through a few copies of the transcribed letters, and sneered after reading them.

The courage of the Xilin Party was inevitably too great, and they tried in vain to control the city and control the sea trade.

He even put his hand into his harem, wanting to stuff people into the palace in next year's draft......

Thinking that his harem was being targeted, Liu Heng felt uncomfortable. He picked up the list sent by the Dragon Guard, glanced at it, and snorted.

"Jia Cong, you go and discuss with Jiang Chengye, pick ten fools with high status but little ability, and let him use them to gain the trust of those people."

Jia Cong, who was discussing acting skills with Liu Ke, was suddenly named, and hurriedly stepped forward to take over the list: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do it properly." By the way, Your Majesty, when is the right time to send Jiang Chengye's appointment? ”

"Chengyang Bojiang Chengye? The fourth brother wants to appoint him a substantive position? ”

Liu Ke thought of Jiang Chengye's son Jiang Huan, who had colluded with Mei Xinyi, and muttered: "Fourth brother, Jiang Chengye's son Jiang Huan is not a good thing~"

Jia Cong explained: "Thirteenth Master, Jiang Chengye is now our internal response in the south, and when you go to Jinling, you still have to work with him!" ”

What's that? When did this king say that he was going to Jinling?

"Thirteenth brother, I didn't have time to tell you yesterday that I plan to let you go to the southeast to patrol the southeast, and keep an eye on those beggars in the south for me......"

Before the emperor's words were finished, Liu Ke looked terrified: "If you don't go, you won't go, you won't go if you kill me." Fourth brother, I'm staying well in the capital, why are you always tossing me? I don't go, I don't go, you find someone again...... I think Jia Lian is very good, if it doesn't work, throw Jia Xiaosan over! ”

Ha? Old Thirteen, don't go too far, don't take the big orange cat instead of a tiger, be careful that I scratch your paws with my teeth!

"Jia Yu went to conquer for Zhennan, and there are only one or two big cats and kittens left in Rongguo Mansion, can you leave two people for the Jia family who can stand up to the door?"

The emperor glared angrily at the old thirteen who was about to roll around, and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, so Xia Shouzhong took a holy decree and stuffed it into his arms.

"Don't you want to be the Blue Sky Lord of Great Xia? It just so happened that Xu Qingteng was advancing the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu in the south, and he would definitely have to conflict with those big clans. You take those three guillotines and inspect the southeastern provinces, and the guillotines will open a way for Xu Qingteng to come out. ”

As soon as these words came out, the old gentleman, who was about to lie down and roll, immediately stood up, hugged the holy decree tightly and grinned.

"The fourth brother said this earlier, look at my brother, I almost lay on the ground!"

This scoundrel......

The emperor's lord will be annoyed when he sees the old thirteen with a dead face, and waved his hand irritably: "Get out, don't be in the way here." Father asked you to go to Longshou Palace, you go now! ”

The old thirteen, who had fulfilled his dream of Qingtian, bowed with a hippie smile: "That's okay, the younger brother won't bother the fourth brother, so I'll go and ask my father for peace." ”

Liu Ke squeezed his eyes at Jia Cong, raised the holy decree in his hand and left the Qinzheng Palace.

After leaving the temple gate, he took the holy decree into his arms and walked straight to the outside of the palace.

Go to Longshou Palace to meet the old man? The fool will pass this time, it must be the old man Cai who went to sue, this will pass, his destination is to be hung on a tree, and he is not stupid.

"Emperor, the Thirteenth Master ran away and didn't go to Longshou Palace."

The emperor was not surprised at all when he heard Xia Shouzhong's report, and the corner of his mouth twitched and cursed: "This bastard thing...... Forget it, you go to the cabinet with you, let the cabinet draw up the decree, and be loyal to the king Liu Ke to set up a private court, disrupt the judiciary, insult the important ministers of the country, and be fined for one year. Send some medicinal herbs and cloth to Cai Quan's mansion, and it will be regarded as me, the elder brother, who will make amends for his younger brother. ”

After arranging these, the emperor re-discussed Jiang Chengye's matter with Jia Cong.

I saw that the emperor thought for a while, and then he spoke: "I have to find a reasonable excuse to appoint again, the Jiang family has been idle for a long time, and if it is suddenly appointed, those people will definitely be suspicious." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks so too. It's just that this excuse is not easy to find, Chengyang Bofu has been silent for many years, and Jiang Chengye has no credit......"

Jia Cong suddenly patted his head: "Your Majesty, why don't we just plan and let those people in the south come to find this excuse by themselves, and then push the boat down the river and send Jiang Chengye to Jinling." ”

……

The old man is going to be the master of the blue sky, and our royal cat can't be idle, and it's time to show his paws.

Although he was thousands of miles away, Jia Cong was also ready to start slashing at the moths in the southern group.

Jiang Ling, who was dressed in disguise, was invited into the private room of Miaoyin Fang, and Jia Cong was already waiting for him here.

"The lower official visits the uncle......"

Jia Cong followed the babbling music on the stage and beat it, and casually pointed to the empty chair next to him: "You're welcome, sit." ”

Jiang Ling respectfully thanked Jia Cong, sat down and asked, "Uncle asked people to call the officials over, I don't know what happened?" ”

Jia Cong did not respond directly to Jiang Ling's question, but pointed to the "Quanmei Case" that was being performed on the stage, and asked pointedly: "Jiang Qianhu, tell me, how can this Bao Longtu withstand the pressure of the Queen Mother and the princess and give Chen Shimei away?" ”

Jiang Ling was stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "The lower officials think that Bao Longtu can successfully avenge Chen Shimei for the people, first, Bao Longtu is selfless and not afraid of power, and second, he has Gongsun Ce, Zhanzhao, Wang Dynasty Ma Han and other capable generals under his command. ”

Jia Cong turned his head and looked at Jiang Ling carefully.

This son guessed the answer he wanted, and he was really a smart person.

He stared at Jiang Ling for a long time, until Jiang Ling was stared at and was about to break out in a cold sweat, and then he slowly spoke: "Jiang Qianhu, there is something you need to do, which is related to your grandfather's future and the future of your Jiang family. ”

Jiang Ling didn't hesitate at all, got up and bowed down and replied, "Uncle, please say, Jiang Ling swears to complete the task." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "It's not so exaggerated, sit, sit ......"

After Jiang Ling sat down again, Jia Cong took out a copy of the emperor's draft decree of appointment, unfolded it and placed it on the table.

"Nan Zhili is the right political envoy, this is the Jiang family's only chance. To seize this opportunity, your grandfather needs to have a reasonable excuse to get the offer. In order to prevent the gang of people in the south from becoming suspicious, you can find a way to use this excuse, and it is best to let the people in the south take the initiative. ”

Jiang Ling's mood was agitated after seeing the holy decree, but he frowned as Jia Cong said the words behind him.

The Jiang family has been silent for too long, and it is known to the government and the opposition that they are not treated by the two saints. In order to get such an appointment, you have to find a reasonable reason to make the people in the south not suspicious.

After a long time, Jiang Ling got up and clenched his fists and said to Jia Cong: "Xiaguan understands, please rest assured, Xiaguan will go back to discuss with grandfather, and he will definitely let the people in the south take the initiative to help grandfather win this appointment smoothly." ”
