Chapter 489: Tongue War
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Zhu Di's brows were tightly locked, feeling that his emotions were about to explode in the next second, and most of the officials were also ugly, as if they didn't expect that the Metropolitan Procuratorate would actually take the Crown Prince today.
But if you want to say that the most surprising people are the imperial histories of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
What is the situation, if you want to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, why don't you ventilate with them?
Especially the new Zuodu Yushi Liu Guan, he was even more confused.
His subordinates want to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why don't they ventilate him?
Yes, as the trusted chief official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he did not know that his subordinates wanted to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Didn't you say that you fired at Jinghai Hou, how did you fire it on His Royal Highness the Prince?
In the entire hall, if there are still calm people, there are only Zhu Gaochi, the main owner who was impeached, and Li Jinglong, who was already leaning on the pillar and falling asleep.
Even Chen Kan had an incomprehensible expression.
He really wanted to ask the imperial history, how much money did Zhu Gaoxu give him?
"Whew~"
The sound of heavy breathing sounded in the hall, and Zhu Di looked at Liu Guan like a hungry wolf.
Liu Guan was excited, hurriedly stepped forward, and first scolded the imperial history: "Su Yun, don't retreat yet." ”
Su Yun is the name of the imperial history.
However, Liu Guan's words didn't seem to work for him, Su Yun still knelt on the ground, and he didn't want to get up if Zhu Di didn't punish His Royal Highness the Prince.
Liu Guan was secretly annoyed in his heart, but it was not good for outsiders to see the jokes of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
I had to salute Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty, it is the duty of the imperial history to hear about it, and it may be biased for Lord Su to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rashly, but it is also the heart of the country, and please don't be angry." ”
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said: "I remember that when Chen Ying died, I told the Imperial Procuratorate that the imperial history has the duty of rumors, but this is to ask you to take on the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, not to let you catch and bite who like a mad dog, has the prince done those things, I am his father, do I not know?" ”
Zhu Di's words were very ugly, and he scolded officials in the court like this, it seemed that it was the first time since Yuji, which showed how angry he was in his heart.
Liu Guan was also frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to ask for guilt: "Your Majesty is not strict, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
Sensing his gaffe, Zhu Di also seemed to feel that this sentence was a bit too much, and hurriedly changed the topic.
looked at Zhu Gaochi and asked, "Prince, what do you have to say about this matter?" ”
Zhu Gao, who was cued by his father, stood up tremblingly, and arched his hand towards Zhu Di: "Back to my father's words, Erchen thinks that the Qing is self-purifying, and there is no need to defend anything, if he needs to confess, Erchen thinks that Jinghaihou's words may be more convincing." ”
Inexplicably cued by Zhu Gaochi, Chen Kan couldn't help but be stunned.
Wait a minute!
Not quite right.
What might my words be more convincing?
This......
A bold idea came to mind, and Chen Kan subconsciously gasped.
Damn, this shouldn't be a big drama directed and acted by Zhu Gaochi, right?
The more Chen Kan thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility became.
is still the same sentence, the Hua family's business road fell into the hands of the East Palace, and such a thing is not something that a small imperial history can find out at all.
Unless there is some big figure standing behind this imperial history.
But the name Su Yun, Chen Kan had never heard of it before, and the probability of being a nobody was greater.
Thinking of the words Zhu Gaochi said during the banquet in the East Palace yesterday, it is obvious that Zhu Gaochi has already had the intention of coming from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
So, this is actually Zhu Gaochi's bitter meat trick?
The purpose is to bring the business that is hidden in the shadows to the surface in a straightforward manner, in case the thunderstorm is caught in the future?
The more Chen Kan thought about it, the more certain he became, and he felt that this should be the truth.
Otherwise, in the extremely sensitive season when the King of Han led his troops to the expedition, it was too late for a group of civil officials to carefully maintain Zhu Gaochi's reputation, how could they do something to destroy Zhu Gaochi.
Just kidding, Zhu Gaochi is notoriously good to civil officials, on the other hand, Zhu Gaochu is a reckless man, if he is on the throne, he will be the second Zhu Di, so it may be all a promotion, although Zhu Di is violent, but Zhu Di's political wisdom is not covered, what political wisdom does Zhu Gaochu have?
If he is on the throne, he may be the second Yang Guang.
Therefore, the civilian officials have no reason to support Zhu Gaoxu at all.
Since there is no reason, then this must be Zhu Gaochi's bitter trick.
Or to put it another way, put it to death and come back to life, and take advantage of the situation to transfer the dark hand that is prone to thunder to the bright side, which can not only dispel Zhu Di's suspicions, but also allow more secret hands to hide.
Fiction and reality, truth and falsehood, it is simply a double win.
After understanding all the truth, Chen Kan couldn't help but feel excited.
This eldest brother is really a vicious wolf disguised as a fat pig, no wonder he hinted that he was making trouble in the court yesterday, and his feelings were arranged by him a long time ago.
After a burst of brainstorming, Chen Kan hurriedly trotted to the main hall and said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, the minister really has something to say about this matter. ”
Zhu Di's eyes were already full of anger, but he was still maintaining his dignity as an emperor.
Seeing that Chen Kan took the initiative to stand up, he couldn't help but suppress his voice and asked, "Come on." ”
Chen Kan glanced at Zhu Di cautiously, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, before distinguishing the impeachment of Su Yushi, can you allow the minister to ask the Imperial Historians of the Imperial Procuratorate about something?" ”
"What's the matter?"
Zhu Di's tone was marked with obvious impatience.
Chen Kan arched his hand and said: "Just a small matter, the minister heard that the imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate have many doubts about the effect of the minister's policy of changing the land and returning to the river in Yunnan, and just took advantage of this opportunity, the minister also solved this doubt for them by the way." ”
As soon as Chen Kan's voice fell, almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew what Chen Kan was going to say, and of course Zhu Di knew it.
So he asked directly: "Is this matter related to the prince's clique and secretly accumulating wealth?" ”
Chen Kan nodded and said, "It's related, it's related." ”
"Since it's related, you can ask yourself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After receiving Zhu Di's answer, Chen Kan gave him a salute, and then turned his head to Liu Guan.
Looking at Chen Kan's eyes with murderous intent, Liu Guan secretly said in his heart that the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not been clearly explained, and the matter of Yunnan's land reform and return to the river was brought to the table again.
Liu Guan suddenly felt so tired.
His ass hasn't been hot yet, so he won't be stroked again today, right?
Chen Kan didn't care what his mood was, and asked bluntly: "Lord Liu, Ben Hou heard that regarding the matter of Liu Guan and Li Tong in Tonghai County forcing the two major Tusi under his rule not to listen to the decree, the adults of the Metropolitan Procuratorate think that the root cause is in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Shang Shufang of the Ministry of Officials?" ”
Listening to Chen Kan's questioning, Liu Guan wanted to cry without tears, but Chen Kan's doubts were originally the proposition of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he couldn't deny it.
He could only bow his head and say: "Yes, this official thinks that the policy proposed by Hou Ye to change the land and return to the river is a policy for the benefit of the country and the people, but no matter how good the national policy is, if it is used in the wrong way, it will also become a policy that harms the country and the people, and about Tonghai County, this official does think that it is Lord Fang's mistake in employing people that has caused the current situation." ”
Chen Kan nodded and asked again: "Dare to ask Lord Liu, do you have the experience of the ruling party?" ”
Liu Guan frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "This official has never had the experience of being in charge of the government, but when Yongle was four years old, this official went to Zhejiang to buy wood and transport it to Beijing to build a palace, and there was no mistake during this period. ”
"Oh!"
Chen Kan sighed, then turned his head to Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has finished asking." ”
Zhu Di looked at Chen Kan suspiciously, and asked, "You asked these two questions, why didn't I hear that it was related to the prince's clique and secretly accumulating wealth?" ”
Chen Kan showed an inexplicable smile on his face, bowed slightly towards Zhu Di, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, and listen to Weichen slowly." ”
After speaking, Chen Kan straightened up, looked at Su Yun and said: "Su Yushi impeached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forming a party for personal gain and secretly collecting money, and said that these two things are well documented, so let's talk about the evidence in Su Yushi's mouth, where does this evidence come from." ”
Su Yun nodded: "I would like to hear about it." ”
Chen Kan smiled, and no longer sold Guanzi, and said bluntly: "First of all, this matter of forming a party for personal gain, yesterday His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did have a banquet in the East Palace, this is not a secret, yesterday the Zhan Mansion and the palace attendants of the East Palace can testify, but the real purpose of His Royal Highness the Prince's banquet is to ask about politics." ”
"Ask politics?"
As soon as Chen Kan said this, the hundred officials suddenly whispered, asking about politics, you are a Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, just manage the students of the University Hall, and ask about politics, that is the matter of the prince and His Majesty, what are you mixing with a Zhan matter, isn't this a disguised admission of the prince's party and personal gain?
"Silence~"
The little chamberlain beside Zhu Di shouted, and the hundred officials were suddenly silent.
Zhu Di looked at Chen Kan and said, "You go on." ”
Chen Kan nodded and continued: "Yes, it is the politics that is being asked, and the question is about the obstruction of Yunnan's policy of changing the land and returning it to the stream. ”
Chen Kan threw out the things he talked about with Zhu Gaochi yesterday very shamefully, but in a different way.
And when his words fell, Zhu Gaochi also spoke: "Erchen can also testify, this matter is just as Jinghai Hou said, if you don't believe it, you can call the people of the East Palace who served yesterday to confront the palace." ”
Listening to Zhu Gaochi's words, the hundred officials couldn't help but be stunned, isn't this still a party for personal gain, what's the difference?
Looking at the expressions of the hundred officials, Chen Kan turned his head and asked Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, the policy of changing the land and returning to the river has been blocked in Yunnan, and the officials of Tonghai County were recommended by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
As soon as Chen Kan asked this question, he immediately asked Zhu Di, and the hundred officials who were originally whispering also changed their faces in an instant, making a contemplative look.
According to Chen Kan's statement, since the Yunnan Liuguan was recommended by His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince naturally had to bear the gains and losses of the recommendation.
Now that the policy of changing the land and returning to the river is blocked in the hands of the people recommended by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned Chen Kan, the initiator, to ask questions, which seems to have nothing to do with forming a party for personal gain.
Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and his face was also abrupt.
No wonder Chen Kan wanted to ask about Yunnan just now, only when the Metropolitan Procuratorate admitted the Yunnan matter and admitted that Zhu Gaochi was not properly employed, Chen Kan could get rid of the blame.
At this time, Chen Kan and Zhu Gaochi have changed from forming a party for personal gain to asking about national policies, and they can even give themselves a reputation for caring about national affairs.
Not bad!
Zhu Di secretly praised Chen Kan's quick wit in his heart, and then turned his head to look at Su Yun and asked: "Su Aiqing, can the Metropolitan Procuratorate even say that the prince is asking about state affairs as a party for personal gain, or do you think that His Royal Highness the prince should stay in the East Palace every day to enjoy himself?" ”
Su Yun's expression remained unchanged, and he replied to Zhu Di: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is the imperial history, and it is the duty of the minister to hear about it, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at fault, the minister should bluntly point out the fault of His Royal Highness the Prince, as for the details, it is not within the scope of the minister's duties." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di suddenly felt depressed in his heart, you are still justified in falsely accusing you.
But when you think about it, it seems that this is really the case.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited the Marquis of Jinghai to a banquet, or this sensitive season, who knows what they said, what if it was a plot to rebel?
Zhu Di was depressed, and he couldn't find the words to refute, so he had to ask sadly: "Then Su Aiqing wants the palace people of Xuandong Palace to confront each other?" ”
Su Yun shook his head: "Your Majesty, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about state affairs, his way has its mistakes, since it is a state matter, then it should be resolved by a fair and honest discussion at the court meeting of the main hall, instead of a private banquet for the courtiers, and the ministers still want to impeach His Royal Highness the Prince's mistakes." ”
Zhu Di was about to be laughed at, pointed at Su Yun and said, "Okay, Su Aiqing is a direct admonition, and he is my minister." ”
Su Yun didn't care about Zhu Di's yin and yang weirdness, turned his head to look at Chen Kan and asked: "Marquis Jinghai, if you haven't mentioned the matter of forming a party and running a private business, what do you have to say about the East Palace's secret accumulation of wealth and competing with the people?" ”
Looking at Su Yun's performance, Chen Kan couldn't help but appreciate it in his heart.
He had to admit that the Su Yun in front of him was indeed a talent.
Where did the eldest brother dig up such a talent, if you don't give him an Oscar, the little golden man is a little sorry for her fearlessness today.
However, when the play is here, it is impossible for Chen Kan not to cooperate.
He arched his hand towards Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty, the minister really has something to say about this matter, as we all know, the descendants of the Hua family are the closed disciples of the minister, and they are also the false sons of the minister, and now the flower time has not yet reached the crown, this business is in the hands of the minister, and the minister and His Royal Highness the prince are still in-laws in addition to the monarch and the minister, and the East Palace is not very wealthy, so it is impossible for the minister to turn a blind eye when he is a brother-in-law, right?" ”
Zhu Di tilted his head slightly and asked, "So what?" ”
Chen Kan grinned and replied: "The minister attaches more importance to family affection, since the business is idle and idle, the minister simply handed it over to the eldest brother to take care of, in addition, His Royal Highness the King of Han and His Royal Highness the King of Zhao have also cooperated with the minister in the development of the sea, if this is regarded as secretly collecting wealth and seizing profits from the people, is it possible that His Royal Highness the King of Han and His Royal Highness the King of Zhao and his ministers are also secretly collecting wealth and taking profits from the people?" ”
