Chapter 298 The collectively stunned East Dynasty

This night, Xia Yan, the popular Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, finished the entertainment and returned home exhausted, sitting in the study and drinking tea.

Xia Shangshu felt that he might be the person who socialized the most in the whole capital.There is no way, who made him popular? A popular Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and an ordinary Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites are two kinds of creatures.

Being popular has two meanings. One is that there are many people who want to find him.Another layer is that he needs to find a lot of people.

As a high-ranking official who has risen rapidly in a short period of time, he needs to devote more energy to socializing and attracting people from all walks of life to supplement and strengthen his own foundation.

Some seats came in and presented a stack of greeting cards, which were all delivered to the door today. In fact, there are some such posts every day.

Xia Shangshu got up his spirits and scanned them one by one.On a certain post, he saw the name Qin Dewei again, but Gu Jing had no waves, so he put it aside.

He knows who the name is, but the person it represents is too small to be worth his time replying to at this time.

Regarding Huo Tao's matter, the day after tomorrow will be discussed by the court, so we should carefully consider how to arrange it.

The day after tomorrow, the ministers who participated in the court meeting began to gather.According to the old rules, this court meeting will still be held in the Dongchao room outside the Meridian Gate.

In such a court meeting that is particularly confrontational and controversial, there is often a "leader" on each side.The selection of the commander-in-chief is not fixed, and varies from case to case.

Like today's court meeting, the theme is Huo Tao, the leader of that side must be Zhang Fujing, the chief assistant of Huo Tao's party, and the leader of the other side is Huo Tao's biggest enemy, the popular Minister of Rites, Xia Yan.

And according to tradition, the main general will not speak easily, mainly by their supporters arguing with each other.

The civil service system of the Ming Dynasty has been mature for a long time, and everyone is familiar with these routines.

It should be said that it is a kind of political correctness for officials all over the world to despise meritorious officials with great ceremonies, and Zhang Fujing and Huo Tao, who are more stubborn in character, are even more unlikable.

But Zhang Fujing has been in power for so many years, and it is not without party members, and there are also people who help to speak out, so there are also quarrels in court discussions.

Immediately, a censor Jia took the lead in firing: "Huo Tao's three major crimes are: first, colluding with internal officials and committing crimes together! Second, harming the local area, beating officials! Third, insulting officials and family members, and corrupting conduct! It's so clear and obvious. Why talk too much!"

Then there was Yi Zhongyi who retorted: "Although Huo Tao and Mai Xiang are traveling together, it would be too exaggerated to say forcibly that the secret confederacy and the courtiers committed crimes together!
The rest of the crimes were all committed by Mai Xiang, so how could Huo Tao be blamed for this? "

It is also an old practice, let Ke Dao come first at the beginning.

Yu Shijia mocked: "Huo Tao and Maixiang sailed on the same boat for thousands of miles from Guangdong to Shandong, and then you said that the two of them have nothing to do with each other? Do you really think that the emperors of the court are as blind as eyes?"

In the matter, Yi insisted: "The current facts are not clear, most of them are hearsay and rumors, how can we convict people with human words?"

At this time, I took over the matter from Zhong B and said: "There is a letter in Shandong that mentions this matter. How can it be just hearsay and the facts are not clear?"

Yu Shiding said tit for tat: "The local letters are mostly generalizations, the cause and effect are unclear, the details are unclear, and there are many doubts. How can we convince the public?"

A more senior censor, Shi Wu, stepped forward: "The matter is generally not bad, and there are local evidences, which are enough to know that Huo Tao has committed a crime!

What you said about the details, you need to send someone to investigate in detail, can it be possible to generalize the whole thing? "

The debate gradually began to escalate, and bigwigs above the third rank began to intervene.

Huang Zongming, the right servant of the Ministry of War, said: "Then we have to let Huo Tao return to the capital first! If you want to clarify the facts, how can the person concerned be away?"

Left Vice Capital Censor Mao Bowen said coldly: "Why do you need Huo Tao to return to Beijing and send an imperial envoy south to Shandong, can't you find out the facts?"

The atmosphere has thus entered a heated stage, but no one knows what the outcome of today's debate will be.

The first assistant Zhang Fujing and the popular Minister of Rites Xia Yan still didn't say a word, motionless like a mountain.

At this moment, Wang Shizhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, suddenly walked in from the outside.

I didn't see Wang Shizhong just now, and everyone thought that Mr. Wang was too old to be lax and lazy. After all, he was almost 70 years old.

I saw Wang Da Sikou holding a document in his hand, and said to everyone: "Feng En wrote a confession!"

Everyone: "."

You old man Wang is so confused!Everyone is talking about Huo Tao here, why did you suddenly jump out and talk about Feng En?
No matter how important Feng En is, can he compare with Huo Tao?

Although Huo Tao is only a third-rank, he is a star figure, and he is also the most important official!
In addition, there are rumors that Wang Hung, the current Minister of the Ministry of Officials, may be added to the rank of Governor-General of the Right Capital Censor Jingying. In the future, the focus of work will be on military affairs, so the actual work of the Ministry of Officials may be handed over to Huo Tao.

Moreover, Wang Hung is not young anymore, and he may become an official at any time, so Huo Tao is the best candidate for the next Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Therefore, Huo Tao's issue may be an issue that affects the future government structure, and ten Feng En can't compare!

At this time, you, Wang Shizhong, came here to say that Feng En made a move. Wasn't it really a joke?If you want to interrogate Feng En, go back to your criminal department for interrogation, don't make trouble here!

Wang Shizhong didn't care about everyone's attitude, he still raised the document in his hand, and said loudly: "You gentlemen, listen to me!

This Feng En stated in his confession that last year he rejected ministers and impeached Zhang Yongjia, Fang Nanhai, and Wang Zhongzai as traitors of the Three Comets. "

Just now, the Dongchao House, which was still buzzing like a boiling pot, fell silent in an instant, and all the court officials were collectively stunned.

What the hell is this?If you want to steal the show, Feng En shouldn't do it like this, right?

Then Huo Tao Maixiang's murder was against your Feng En's family members!You are a victim!
Then you are here to ignore the previous suspicions, show generosity, forgive the hat for being so neat, so impartial, how can others help you to be filled with righteous indignation?

Many people looked at the "chief general" Xia Yan. They all knew the relationship between Feng En and Xia Yan. Last year, Feng En's appointment was probably to help Xia Yan criticize his political opponents.

But at this time, Feng En's sudden confession has something to do with Xia Yan?
But what is this idea?Everyone can't understand it at all!
Even if you want everyone to cooperate, you must first understand the thinking, and then you can unify your thinking and form a joint force!If you don't even understand the idea, how can you cooperate?

Not to mention one's own troops, even the opponent's family, from the chief assistant Zhang Fujing to the university scholar Fang Xianfu, and Huang Zongming, the right servant of the Ministry of War, were all stunned.

Because I really can't understand, what happened, or is there some huge conspiracy in Xia Yan?

They are all very intelligent people, but they can't figure it out. If this is a conspiracy, what else can the other party do next?
But at the moment in Dongchao's room, the most confused person is none other than Xia Yan himself. He is also extremely at a loss for Feng En's behavior.
Then Xia Yan suddenly thought that Feng En's strange way of doing things is very similar to the ghost-like way of doing things when he was in Jiangning County, Nanjing two or three years ago!

Wang Tingxiang finally understood a little bit why Qin Dewei just let himself sit on the sidelines, and don't speak easily.

But in such a weird situation, even if you want to speak, you can't say anything!
　I can't finish writing the next chapter tonight, so let's send it out as soon as possible tomorrow morning. . .Continue to ask for a monthly ticket!
