Cabinet duty.

Cheng Minzheng took two days off in a row, in fact, he didn't know how to face Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, but he couldn't hide the news, so he could only inform Li Dongyang, and then Li Dongyang would tell Liu Jian.

"The Shangting Office intends to make Qiao a capital crime, but if there is any yamen in the court who is so determined, I am afraid that Yu Qiao will be more auspicious." When Li Dongyang conveyed the news, his face was also worried.

Liu Jian was still calm, but when he heard this, his arms couldn't help relaxing, as if he couldn't grasp anything steadily.

For him, this argument of "on death" is somewhat unacceptable.

Li Dongyang said: "The official is actually going to discuss the capital crime, and I don't know what the people in the hearing department are going to do?" Do you have to make the court uneasy? ”

Liu Jian remained silent.

"Do you think you should, do something more?" Li Dongyang was obviously worried, and asked, "If you don't say hello again, if someone has to cater to your wishes, I'm afraid it's not fair to Qiao." ”

Liu Jian said: "It's all going to be, is it still useful for me to wait for what to say?" If His Majesty has no intention of doing so, will there be no purpose in the listening office? ”

"That's what I mean...... Your Majesty also intends to ......"

Li Dongyang became nervous.

Xie Qian is the actual teacher of the Son of Heaven in the end, if the emperor doesn't even talk about this bit of affection, and directly wants to kill Mr., it is really unsympathetic.

"You can't go." Liu Jian said, "Go to Lin Hengda, he may be useful at this time." But don't let anyone know that this is about you. You don't have to tell the negative chart side...... This matter all depends on whether the people's hearts can be stabilized. Hold on! ”

Li Dongyang thought that Liu Jian was already lying flat, but when he heard this, he knew that Liu Jian would not give up Xie Qian.

He wanted to say that it didn't make much sense to find anyone now, and the only person who might be able to help Xie Qian was Zhang Zhou, but he couldn't help but when the words came to his lips.

Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven.

……

……

Lin Han originally thought that Xie Qian's matter had nothing to do with him, so he ignored it from the beginning.

It wasn't until the emperor asked the people of the various yamen to discuss and convict Xie Qian on their own that Lin Han knew that this matter still had something to do with him, but just as Cheng Minzheng thought before, most of the people in the six departments were inextricably linked with Xie Qian, and they would not be wiped out, so Lin Han only felt that letting Xie Qian return to his hometown was the best result from the beginning.

Even if it is an additional crime, it is just a penalty to spend money to ransom the prison sentence, which is also a very common situation in the crimes of Ming officials.

It wasn't until Li Dongyang found someone to come to the door that he knew that there might be a bigger involvement behind this matter, and it was not even solved by ordinary exile or imprisonment, Lin Han was also a scheming, he had the same choice as Cheng Minzheng...... directly said that he couldn't get sick.

No matter what your monstrous waves have to do with me? Why did you let me come out to give Xie Yuqiao an event?

Besides, who am I going to?

Looking for Zhang Bingkuan?

The other person is not in the capital at all, and he wrote to him to discuss Xie Qian's plea? Isn't this a real thing?

If you look for someone else, it won't work at all, but it will make people think that I am good at forming a party for personal gain, and the emperor will let the people of each yamen discuss on their own, and I will jump out of a book of etiquette, not like a clown who jumps off the beam?

Lin Han was sick, and the people in the court didn't know the details behind it, and thought that he was really old and sick.

There were many people who came to visit, but none of them were allowed to enter his house.

However, there are people who come to visit him and he can't refuse, that is, his daughter Lin Yi...... After Lin Yi learned that her father was sick, she hurriedly returned home with gifts, but she was told by Ruan Shi after returning home that her father was walking birds in the yard, and when she went to visit in the backyard, she saw that the old guy was teasing his younger son with a very energetic look, and he didn't look sick at all.

"Father?"

Lin Yi was also surprised.

I've heard of pretending to be sick, but she has always felt that her father is a righteous man and a gentleman, how can she do that kind of pickled thing as an official in the court?

When Lin Han saw his daughter, he was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly asked the nurse on the side to take the child away, and then lifted the birdcage, wanting to go back to the house to hide quietly.

"How did you get back? Bingkuan is not in Beijing, you are still running around, and those who don't know still think that there is no way for the father and daughter. Lin Han wanted to teach his daughter a lesson with a straight face.

Lin Yi stepped forward to help him, but was stopped by Lin Han raising his hand.

Lin Yi said: "Father, why is this difficult? ”

Lin Han waved his hand and said, "If you don't understand, don't ask." Do you think that being an official in the court is that simple? Bingkuan himself often says that he is sick, but in fact, he is hiding quietly? Even His Majesty has approved the old man's leave, why does the old man still have to explain to you? ”

"That's not what my daughter meant." Lin Yi stepped forward, cleaned up the teapot and teacups on the table, and said, "I heard that my father was sick and my daughter was worried, so I quickly mentioned it to my wife, and my wife specially allowed my daughter to come back to visit." The lord also said before leaving, it is not taboo for me to go back to my parents' house to take a look, and he also said that I must fulfill my filial piety during the New Year's holidays. ”

Hearing this, Lin Han was also surprised.

Lin Han smiled and said, "Bingkuan is quite reasonable. ”

Lin Yi didn't hear whether her father's words were good or bad, so she walked over and helped her old father sit down.

This made Lin Han's face much better, and he was a little more friendly and kind than when he saw his daughter before.

Someone immediately came to serve tea, Lin Yi personally poured tea for Lin Han, and Lin Han was also happy to have his daughter come back to honor him, so he took two sips of tea.

"What's wrong with my father?" Lin Yi said, "My brother is not here, if my father has anything, I can tell my daughter." ”

Lin Han wanted to refuse directly, but he thought that this matter also had a lot to do with Zhang Zhou, and he couldn't tell Zhang Zhou, maybe he could talk about it through his daughter?

Just as he was hesitating, Lin Yi said again: "Before the master left, he also told the concubine that after he left, someone might embarrass his father, and he didn't understand what he meant at that time. Now it seems that my father may have been in trouble. ”

Lin Han said: "Bingkuan really said that? ”

"Hmm." Lin Yi nodded firmly.

"This is a ...... He can pinch and calculate, but it's right to think about it, he also knows what kind of turmoil will happen in the capital after leaving, Yu Qiao has gone through two dynasties, how to say that he has made great contributions to the court, if Bingkuan completely ignores it, it can't be said. Lin Han naturally thought that it was Zhang Zhou who calculated that there would be today, and wanted to use Lin Yi as an intermediary to let him convey some opinions, which could be regarded as saving Xie Qian.

Lin Yi said: "Is my father talking about Xie Ge Lao?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Han nodded and said, "What else did Bingkuan tell you?" ”

Lin Yi thought about it, shook his head and said, "There is nothing to do next." ”

Lin Han pondered for a moment and said, "He didn't mention any solution?" ”

Lin Yi also looked inexplicable and said: "The daughter is not ordered by the lord to come, the lord only said that the daughter is allowed to do her filial piety during the New Year's holidays, is there any misunderstanding between the father?" ”

This will not fix Lin Han.

Zhang Zhou could guess that Xie Qian would be in big trouble, and even guessed that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang came to him to save Xie Qian, why didn't they use Lin Yi to give him advice?

Lin Yi asked, "Then what did the father have to say, let his daughter take it back to her father-in-law?" ”

"In front of people, you must respect Bingkuan." Lin Han doesn't seem to like his daughter calling Zhang Zhou "Xianggong", he pays great attention to etiquette, no matter how partial Lin Han is to his daughter, he will not mess up the rules.

"Yes." Lin Yi lowered her head.

Lin Han said: "I want to ask Bingkuan, he can guess everything, won't he say hello to the old man in advance?" Now that Xie Ge Lao will lose his life at any time, he just ignores it, if he really dies, I am afraid that it will be Bingkuan's popularity in the court in the future...... But it's going to be bad. ”

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "When the daughter went back and wrote a letter to her master, she mentioned it by the way. ”

"Don't." Lin Han said, "He didn't let you say it, and you can't make a mistake, remember, although you are now the wife of the Zhang family, in the end, you are also from my Lin Mansion, and you can't do unruly things." The father will figure it out for himself. ”

As he was talking, there was a report outside: "Master, Shen Yintai is asking to see you outside." ”

"Why is he here?"

Lin Han has met with a lot of guests in the past few days, but even if he comes, he can turn them away.

But Shen Lu came, and he couldn't refuse.

"You go in first, for the father has a guest to see." Lin Han got up and said, "I'll go back early after lunch, and my father won't send you." ”

"My daughter also brought some good tea ......," Lin Yi said.

Lin Han became interested when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You have filial piety, if you move Bingkuan's good things to us, he won't have an opinion, right?" ”

Lin Yi said: "The master never cares, or the lady asks me to bring more." ”

"It's good, it's good." Lin Han said with a satisfied expression, "There is a tribute from the emperor in Bingkuan's mansion, and I have also followed it, and I have nothing to do recently, and I can make a few pots of good tea to kill the boredom." You don't have to worry about things at home, and you should know that everything is fine when you come back to see it. It's okay for my father to be here, bring a few bags of tea over, and my father is just going to greet the guests. ”

Lin Yi thought to herself, you are very good.

It's okay at home, I guess I want to make my younger brothers and sisters, it's really old.

……

……

Lin Han changed the main hall to greet Shen Lu.

He also directly served good tea, but Shen Lu didn't care about it at all, or he didn't care about it.

"Lin Butang, can you tell me, Your Majesty asked the public servants to discuss the charges of Xie Ge Lao, how should this be discussed? There's really nothing to do here. It's everyone who asks, what to say, I just say that I want to listen to the opinions of all parties, who can make up their minds? ”

Shen Lu really came for Xie Qian's crime.

Lin Han said: "You can talk about it as you want, don't you even have a person over there who understands prison?" ”

Shen Lu leaned over and said in a low voice: "This matter can be big or small, it's not nice to say, if someone really holds on to it, it's not an exaggeration to talk about capital punishment." But you can also blame the past, after all, it is just a matter of discussion, after this Hongzhi year, the middle of the court has said the wrong thing every year, but I haven't seen His Majesty really punish anyone, this time it's still the elder, Your Majesty will also protect the friendship of the monarch and the minister, right? ”

Lin Han took the teacup and took a sip of tea, as if he was savoring the difference between this tribute tea.

He said quietly: "What if Your Majesty is determined to die? ”

"No, it won't." Shen Lu said, "Your Majesty rules the country with etiquette and music, and it should not be like this. ”

"Now that you know, what else is there to ask?" Lin Han seemed to want to send off the guests.

Shen Lu leaned over and said, "But I heard a news here, Lin Butang, don't ask questions first, I just said that someone wants Xie Ge to die." ”

"Who?" Lin Han asked.

Shen Lu said: "I can't say if I ask, someone deliberately revealed the wind to me, saying that this time Xie Ge Lao was going to be sentenced to death, and asked me to communicate with the political envoy to understand the situation, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have come to see you in person." ”

Lin Han thought for a while, and then seemed to have an answer, and asked, "It can't be someone from the listening office, right?" ”

"No, no, Lin Butang don't say it again." Shen Lu wiped a cold sweat.

Obviously, Lin Han said it.

Lin Han was also a little incomprehensible, and said to himself: "Bingkuan is also a member of the Shangting Office, but the others are not in Beijing, could it be that he wants to break the net with the cabinet ministers?" With his temperament, he will indeed mess around, but he won't be so disregardful of the way back, right? ”

Shen Lu said: "It's all said that Lin Butang is too careful, and this matter may not have anything to do with that Cai Guogong." ”

"That's Lu Wan." Lin Han said, "Now the one who can listen to the opinions of the department is Bingkuan first, followed by Lu Wan." I don't have much friendship with this person, I only know about Yu Qiao, and I have something to do with him, I'm afraid he wants to ...... Add insult to injury? ”

Shen Lu smiled bitterly, not saying it, it was equivalent to acquiescing.

Lin Han said: "Alas! It is also clear that before this, there were people who came to find the old man, but what they asked for was exactly the opposite of what you learned. ”

Shen Lu asked, "Isn't Mo a member of the cabinet?" ”

Obviously, Lin Han will not answer this question positively.

"That's fine." Shen Lu said, "I never thought that Xie Ge Lao, who can speak well, has now become a chess piece in the game of all parties, in my opinion, Xie Ge Lao is probably also entrusted by others in this matter, and it is impossible for Your Majesty not to know, if you have to investigate to the end, then it can only be ...... Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger. ”

Lin Han stared at Shen Lu and said, "Then what kind of argument are you going to make?" ”

Shen Lu lowered his head, facing Lin Han, he didn't seem to want to hide his inner thoughts, and said: "Actually, the opinion of the Upper Listening Office is Your Majesty's most preferred choice, and Your Majesty has either given priority to the opinion of the Upper Listening Office, or has long expected the tone of the Upper Listening Office. If I rebel against ...... 'M afraid...... Uh......"

Lin Han nodded and said, "If you hadn't made this choice, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come to see me." ”

"Huh."

Shen Lu smiled bitterly.

Just say, you Lin Hengda, who knows me, is also.

If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to cling to the listening office and kill Xie Yuqiao, what would I be doing today to ask you to see you? Anyway, everyone knows that the main argument of the various yamen is to make Xie Qian's case a big deal.

Or it is precisely because of this that Lu Wan knows that there are no allies in the DPRK and China, so he wants to open a corner of the ice from the General Political Envoy.

"Even so, I don't advise anything." Lin Han said, "In the end, the Ministry of Rites wants to take care of the friendship of the ministers. ”

"Don't." Shen Lu hurriedly said, "If in the end, only the general envoy and the upper hearing office are in the same tone, wouldn't that mean ......?"

"Respect yourself." Lin Han glanced at Shen Lu with sympathy, but he no longer gave an opinion. (End of chapter)
