Chapter 311: Lifting Stones and Shooting Feet
Kirin Palace.
When the ministers waited for Ran Fang to arrive, they were also speculating from time to time why Ran Fang did this.
Of course, some people feel that this matter has nothing to do with Ran Fang, and guess who spread the matter?
When Ran Fang came in, all eyes were immediately locked on him.
Everyone's eyes were different, some had schadenfreude, some scrutinized, and a few looked at him worriedly.
He didn't pay attention to any of these people's eyes.
On the way here, Wei Liang had already told him everything that had happened, and he was even more sure that someone had deliberately framed him, otherwise how could someone tell Ying Zheng so soon.
After thinking about this, his mood was even more relaxed.
He walked to the middle of the hall without squinting, and saluted towards Ying Zheng in a proper manner, and there was no trace of any weakness in his expression.
"See Your Majesty."
Seeing him like this, the expression on Ying Zheng's face made people unable to see any thoughts, and no one knew what his attitude towards Ran Fang was.
"Get up."
This time, Ran Fang didn't say that he didn't need to salute, giving people an illusion that he also had a little anger towards Ran Fang, and then some people began to laugh secretly.
Ran Fang stood up and tidied up the official uniform on his body, and said without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty Xie." ”
"I don't know what happened when His Majesty called the ministers into the palace today?"
Hearing this, Li Si, who was standing on the side, took the initiative to speak, took a step closer to Ran Fang, and told what had just happened in the Qilin Palace.
Finally he asked, "What does the gentleman have to defend himself in this matter?" ”
"I believe that Sir has nothing to do with this matter, but after all, it has happened, and Sir should still give His Majesty and the ministers an explanation."
Ran Fang had a look of sudden realization, as if he had just heard about it.
It's just that that's not what he said.
He nodded, looked at Ying Zheng and said, "I see." ”
"Your Majesty, before entering the palace, the minister was investigating this matter, and it was indeed not from the minister's mansion that this matter was reported."
"After the minister's investigation, this matter was spread from Xianyang City, and there was more than one person who spread the news, just to cause a conflict between the imperial court and the head of Qian."
"Because of the matter of conscription, the head of the Qianshou has a long-standing grudge against the court, whether this news is true or not, it is a good thing for the head of the Qian, and they naturally hope that it can be true."
"If there is news in the future that this matter is a lie, then Qianshou will definitely riot at the same time, which will play into the hands of those behind it."
"Therefore, the minister thinks that this matter is by no means so simple, there must be someone who wants to frame the court with this, and his heart can be punished!"
"Your Majesty will thoroughly investigate this matter, and you must not let go of the person behind it!"
Maybe they didn't expect Ran Fang to say this, and he was so eloquent, which was different from the process they expected Ran Fang to explain in a panic and then beg for mercy.
After all, this kind of thing happened before, and ordinary ministers are in this process.
This sudden remark made the faces of the people present change, especially the people who shouted the most before Ran Fang came, and they lowered their heads for fear of implicating themselves.
Even Li Si didn't expect that Ran Fang had already started an investigation, and he had already investigated some news.
Although he learned the news, he didn't have time to investigate, Ran Fang actually walked in front of him again, it seems that Ran Fang is more powerful than he thinks.
Thinking about it, he said: "Indeed, not many people know about the abolition of conscription, and it is inevitable that someone will get the news and frame Mr. ”
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
"Mr. is innocent!"
Seeing them so hateful, Ying Zheng showed a faint smile on his face.
He looked at Ran Fang's eyes with a smile, and his expression changed visibly as his gaze swept over the other officials.
The officials didn't dare to look up at Ying Zheng, and they didn't feel his change, but when Ying Zheng's eyes swept over, they felt even more that they might be talking too much today.
But Ying Zheng didn't plan to embarrass them, but just asked Ran Fang: "Then what do you think should be done with this matter?" ”
Ran Fang had already thought of his words, and he replied respectfully: "The minister has already discussed the matter of conscription with His Majesty before. ”
"Now that things have come to this point, it's better to push the boat down the river and do it well."
"And judging from the reaction of the Qianshou when they know about this, they are very grateful to Your Majesty, and they are full of praise for Your Majesty."
"If this matter spreads to all corners of Great Qin, those who want to use Qianshou to strangle His Majesty, I am afraid that no one will join them."
Ran Fang's words were so clear, and everyone present understood that he wanted to take this opportunity to do the cancellation of forced labor.
These officials immediately panicked, originally wanting to pull Ran Fang off the horse, but they dug a pit for themselves.
They were all people who did not agree to the abolition of the conscription, but now none of them dared to speak first, after all, if they did not agree, they might be the ones who sent the news this time.
This is a dilemma for them, they all have a-eating expression, and they don't know what to do when they stand still.
Li Si saw Ying Zheng's brows stretched, and he was very satisfied with Ran Fang's answer.
He immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Mr. is reasonable. ”
"Since things have come to this point, this method of the gentleman is the most effective."
Yingzheng had agreed to cancel the conscription before, and now this is an opportunity.
Without waiting for the other people's reactions, Ying Zheng spoke: "Spread the widow's will, cancel the conscription immediately, and the head of the Qiantou must pay the wages for work." ”
"This matter will be supervised by Yuan Lai."
"And the people who investigated and leaked this matter are also handed over to you to be responsible, and one will definitely be found out!"
Yuan Lai was the one who said bad things about Ran Fang at the beginning, and Ying Zheng's direct agreement with Ran Fang's plan was enough for him to be unacceptable, but he didn't expect this matter to fall on his head.
At this moment, he didn't know how to think, and if he wanted to admonish Yingzheng, he didn't know how to speak.
“…… Here. ”
Ying Zheng didn't seem to see his embarrassment, and said lightly: "If it's okay, just step down." ”
"Ran Fang stays."
"Whoa!"
Li Si walked in the front, and the ministers behind him wanted to ask for their opinions, but seeing Li Si's unapproachable expression, no one dared to come forward to talk.
But Yuan Lai walked on the way out of the palace with a decadent face, and he really couldn't understand in his heart, how could this matter become like this?
"Why did it fall on my head?"
"Who did this thing in the first place, go back and let me find out, I must give him a good look!"
