Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 497
In the main hall, there was a fight for impeachment against Wang Yan. Before Wang Yan's faction could make a move, he was shot dead by Zuo Maodi, and then several censors who Wang Yan was completely unfamiliar with also came out to kill Liu Xiangke , which is very strange.

Wang Yan watched coldly, but he seemed to have seen some tricks. Emperor Longwu, who was sitting on the big treasure, looked at it and understood that Liu Xiangke could die, and he had to be killed in court.

"Although the censor has the right to listen to the news, but this thief first slandered the military minister, and then slandered the chief minister of the court, questioning the national policy!" Emperor Longwu said angrily, "You want to tell me that the minister of civil and military affairs in the court, Are you going to rebel against me? Then what is Zhen? Shang Zhou and Xia Jie? Someone will come and arrest this thief~"

The moment Liu Xiangke came out in Jinbao, he was almost dizzy. He didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He ruled the weak and the ministers were strong.

He took the lead, and this group of people didn't follow up and cooperate, so it was fine if they wanted to sell him, but they took the lead in rebelling against him, trying to put him to death, all civil and military officials would kill him, his face turned pale immediately.

At this time, after hearing the emperor's words, he was even more frightened and sat on the ground, but before the emperor finished speaking, Wang Yan suddenly stepped out, interrupted Long Wu, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, wait a minute! I think this matter is strange, and Liu Yushi can't kill him yet!"

At the end of the sentence, the people stood up at that time, and the court hall was immediately quiet, but soon Jin Bao came out and said: "The Duke of Chu is a minister who has made great contributions to the court. This thief speaks slanderous words and slanders the Zuo Pavilion. It is really mad. Your Majesty, I think this thief should be killed."

Liu Xiangke's lungs are really exploding now, even Wang Yan begged him for mercy, and Jin Bao wanted to kill him, how can there be such a sell-out fellow Taoist, and the methods are too dirty.

For a moment, his anger rose from his heart, and his evil turned to his guts. Since you betrayed me, I have to drag you into the water, "Your Majesty! Today's affairs were all done by Jin Bao's envoys, and he is the culprit. Please His Majesty also investigate clearly."

Long Wu was not surprised when he heard this, and squinted at Jin Bao, who laughed loudly and said, "Your Majesty, this thief has lost his mind, he is a mad dog, he will bite anyone who catches him. He saw that the minister stood up and advocated killing him, so If you want to bite this humble minister back, please ask your Majesty to investigate clearly!"

Wang Yan looked at Jin Bao from the side, thoughtful, no matter whether Jin Bao ordered it or not, anyway, with Liu Xiangke's performance, there must not be many people who believe his words.

He has slandered so many ministers at once, and he has no reputation at all, but Wang Yan is biased. It should be that Jin Bao found out that Liu Xiangke had messed up, so he immediately wanted to kill him to protect himself. He is very shrewd. The scene in the classroom, unless there is ironclad evidence, his suspicion will be washed away.

Long Wu's eyes stopped on Jin Bao for a moment, "Jin Qing, please step back, there is no need to be outraged, this thief's ugliness has long been exposed, he is just a madman, just based on his words, I will put him to death."

When the emperor spoke, Liu Xiangke's face turned pale. He didn't understand why the emperor and everyone didn't believe his words, so he kowtowed and argued, but no one listened to him. Jin Bao obviously counted that Liu Xiangke would bite back, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and bowed and retreated.

"This thief has slandered Wang Qing so much, I will kill him to vent the anger of all you, why do you want to protect this thief?" Emperor Longwu looked at Wang Yan again and said.

Zuo Maodi, Su Guansheng and others heard the words, and they all looked at Wang Yan. What happened today is really strange. The civil servants are all elites who have been in the officialdom. Although such a thing has not happened for a long time, the blood of the struggle is still there. exist.

In a very short period of time, with a storm in their minds, they came up with many possibilities. One of them was that Wang Yan himself ordered the censor to sue him, and then took the opportunity to counter-accuse someone of slander. , Let the censor reveal the identity of the political enemy, and finally clean up.

The Wenchen Group has just expressed its attitude. Not only did it not participate in this matter, but it also does not want to fight with Xunzhen. In the current situation, Wenchen, Xunzhen, and imperial power are temporarily balanced. The gentry traded steadily in the rear, paid taxes and made money. The only grievance point was the imperial power, but this is indeed the best state at present.

Wang Yan has always shown people with a positive image, he is upright, he is good at taking advantage of the situation, and he acts with an open mind. He should not resort to such dirty methods, but people's hearts are far away, and no one knows who's real thoughts. He wants to protect Liu Xiangke, and the faces of civil servants But it got heavy.

"Report to Your Majesty!" Wang Yan held the wat board and bowed, and then explained: "The reason why I protect Liu Yushi is not because he is innocent, but because the imperial court has its own laws, and everything should be done according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and The imperial court system. If you kill a censor without interrogation or investigation, it will be detrimental to your majesty's reputation, and it is not in line with the court law. In view of this, the minister thought that Liu Yushi should be sent to the imperial court first, and then handed over to the Ministry of punishment , Dali Temple for trial."

After hearing this, Zuo Maodi and Su Guansheng glanced at each other, a little flustered, but some people were more panicked than them. Pang Tianshou quickly gave Jin Bao a wink, but things will be reversed. Jin Bao said earlier that if he goes out again, his intention will be obvious Now, he saw the situation today, and he was also a little afraid of Wang Yan, so no matter how Pang Tianshou winked, he just pretended not to see it.

Seeing this, Pang Tianshou was fuming with anger. The group of people he recruited were really bastards, Liu Xiangke was a fool, Jin Bao was a genius, if the situation was wrong, he would immediately protect himself, and the remaining few censors were even more concerned. It's useless not to look at him at critical moments.

Pang Tianshou regretted so much that he shouldn't have collected such a group of people who were underestimated by Wen Chen and Xun Zhen. In his desperation, he actually said by himself: "Mr. , If you continue to slander the minister, you can't believe the confession you confessed during the trial, it's better to kill him now, to deter Xiaoxiao!"

As soon as Pang Tianshou opened his mouth, Wang Yan smiled softly. Emperor Longwu also squinted his eyes, and turned to look at him. Pang Tianshou's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly knelt down.

Above the court, there is no room for eunuchs to discuss politics, but Wang Yan did not talk about this point, nor did he scold him angrily, but said with a smile: "Mr. At that time, if he bites the ministers of the court again, he can be ignored. The reason why this court insists on the trial is that he thinks that this person may be a spy sent by the Qing court to drive a wedge between our Ming emperor and his ministers."

Wang Yan paused for a moment, and then said to Long Wu: "Your Majesty, after I returned to Guangjing this time, I heard that someone in the city deliberately spread rumors that "Ziwei Emperor Star fell into the Wang Family Courtyard", such a rebellious prophecy, Chen Chu Hearing this, I feel terrified and fearful, and wish I could not catch those who spread rumors, now it seems that the combination of rumors and today's events must have been deliberately framed by the Qing Dynasty, so I want to have a trial to clear my innocence."

After Wang Yan finished speaking, Zuo Maodi and Su Guansheng heaved a sigh of relief and understood the message he conveyed. The first is the future affairs of the court. Follow the rules. Xunzhen will not mess around. Don't break the rules. The second is that Liu Xiangke's matter will not expand, and he has no intention of taking the opportunity to clean it up.

Emperor Longwu also heard the meaning behind Wang Yan's words, and told him not to worry, he did not spread the prophecy, he did not rebel, and there was no need to suppress him in the future, everything in the court remained as usual, just follow the rules.

Of course, it may have another meaning, even though you are the Son of Heaven, you must abide by the rules.

In the entire hall, only Pang Tianshou's expression was the ugliest, because he also heard the implication, what Wang Yan conveyed to him, probably was, "You are the emperor's close minister, this pavilion is for the emperor's face, so I won't touch you. This court will push the next matter to Man Qing first, but the specific situation will be found out through the trial of Liu Xiangke. This court needs to know your purpose, motivation, and the forces involved. As for when to settle the score, it depends on your performance .”

(I was slapped in the face again, and my face was swollen. It’s ten o’clock, and I can’t make the next chapter today. It’s only three things, and I’ll make up for it tomorrow. I’m not bragging. Thanks to Lonely Xiaoyu for the monthly ticket of 27, and to Hao’s One thousand book coins, I’m really sorry to say that it’s okay to add more, tomorrow Sunday, I will definitely make it up)
