Chapter 806: indisputable
Chapter 806 Indisputable
Lin Jinxiao resolutely opened his mouth to refute: "The official system of my government has been corrupted for a long time. At present, the big clans control the way to select officials, and only pay attention to the selection of officials by family background, so that there is no way for capable scholars to enter the official position, which leads to the phenomenon of selling officials. Even if there is no empress to set this precedent, I will not allow such bad phenomena to continue to spread."
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Jinxiao's voice became more serious: "Everyone has also been abused by the two great families of the Tang family and the Yang family. Do you still want to watch me make a second Tang Yao and Yang Runchen?"
These words undoubtedly gave Ji Huaishu and Yin Sinian a heavy blow, making them instantly aware of their current situation.
The Tang family and the Yang family collapsed one after another, while the Ji family and the Yin family naturally became the most prosperous powers in the court at the moment.
The two looked at each other in dismay, neither of them dared to answer.
How can Lin Yanjun swallow this breath, she is the one who bears the brunt of the interests of Langzhou's reform of the official system, and she has to turn things around before everything is settled.
Glancing deeply at Ji Huaishu and Yin Sinian, Lin Yanjun argued with reason: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and his wings are still fledgling. At this time, you must not fight against the noble family. Besides, Your Majesty is an unrivaled king, and you have to be loved by His Majesty." If we manage the government, we will definitely not have the misfortune of Tang Yao and Yang Runchen again."
First, he praised him wantonly, and then he began to understand it with reason and emotion:
"Since the queen decided to reform the official system in Langzhou, weird things have happened frequently in Langzhou. No one dared to apply for the new baby princess, Her Royal Highness. It shows that this move is unpopular. If it goes on like this, it will definitely lead to chaos in the world. And the difficult court situation that His Majesty is facing when he ascended to the throne, but he acts recklessly with His Majesty's favor, and I also ask His Majesty to immediately recall the Queen and let her go back to the palace to reflect on her mistakes, so that the people of the world can be stabilized."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, there was a thunderous scolding sound outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation: "It's a good one to reflect on past mistakes, and a good one to appease the hearts of the world."
Everyone heard the prestige and looked around, only to see that the person outside the hall and inside was none other than the Empress Dowager Yin Enci who led brothers Hai Lianying and Hai Da'a into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Before reaching the front, Yin Enci angrily glared at Lin Yanjun who had a sluggish face, and scolded again: "Lin Yanjun, you have disregarded etiquette and grace, and now you dare to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the empress without shame. Sad and disappointed."
Several people in the hall, including Lin Jinxiao, were confused by the sudden questioning of the Empress Dowager, but looking at Hai Da who entered the hall together, Lin Jinxiao suddenly seemed to be aware of something.
Weird things have happened frequently in Langzhou recently, I am afraid that without the support of the palace people, those small officials would not dare to do such a bold thing even if they have the courage.
Sit down calmly, but he chose not to make a sound at this time, quietly listening to the emperor's grandmother scolding his aunt.
Yin Sinian and Ji Huaishu didn't understand, so they looked at each other, seeing the old ancestor's temper today, they could only bite the bullet and comfort him: "Old ancestor, although the eldest princess's words are too much, but she is also worried about me. I have no intentions, and I ask the ancestors to calm down."
Lin Yanjun saw the thick official documents held in Haida's arms, and his whole heart was raised in his throat, and then he had some bad premonitions.
But before he could open his mouth to complain, he saw Yin Enci picked up the official document in Haida's hand and slammed it in front of him: "How can the Ai family appease her anger when she does such a rebellious and unscrupulous thing."
As he said that, he looked at Lin Yanjun's eyes even more angrily: "Look at the good deeds you have done. You are an idle woman in the palace. The late emperor pitied you for your loneliness, and was grateful for Huai Li's heroic death for the country. Leave it to you to take care of it, but you are so greedy that you even instigated lower-level officials to disobey the last emperor's will, Yan Jue is Huai Li's brother-in-law, you are so vicious and cruel to kill him."
"Queen Mother, my son did all this for the sake of the overall situation."
Lin Yanjun looked at the official memorial documents scattered all over the floor, feeling extremely panicked, knowing that someone must have betrayed him, so he argued anxiously: "I do have a lot of contacts with officials in Langzhou, but how could I harm Chang Lao? Someone wants to accuse and slander my ministers, and deliberately plant and frame him."
"The eldest princess should stop making excuses now."
Hai Da'a helplessly shook his head and sighed: "Tan Inspector Tan ordered people to search the official residence of Chang Shi Zhangxuan, and found countless letters between you and him over the years from the secret cabinet of his study. There are also so many account books that are ironclad evidence, and each transaction is recorded in great detail, even if the queen sees it, she can't say it for the eldest princess."
"Zhang Xuan?"
Lin Yanjun was so angry that he never expected that the person who was the most obedient and loyal to him in the weekdays would stay behind, which is really unpredictable.
When he heard that Chang Lao was being murdered by his aunt, Lin Jinxiao couldn't calm down anymore. He violently flipped the desk in front of him, and the piled memorials, slips and desk fell to the ground in response.
"Auntie really has righteousness in her heart. Do I still want to thank you for serving the country and the people and setting up a monument for you?"
Lin Jinxiao got up angrily, and it was only at this moment that he fully understood why the lady gave birth prematurely.
Leaving their mother and child in Langzhou already made him feel guilty, but it caused Chang Lao to die miserably, and because of the premature delivery of the mother, even a wet nurse was hard to find. His heart ached like a knife at this time.
Sure enough, the royal family has no family ties.
He now has a complete epiphany.
Previously, I wanted to forgive the father's only sister, the only remaining flesh and blood of the imperial grandmother, and not care about her greed for ink, but now she seems to have touched her bottom line and harmed her most respected teacher, wife and children. I can swallow this bad breath again.
He glared at Lin Yanjun sullenly, and the pent-up resentment in his heart poured out: "Old Chang dedicated his whole life to the country, and even his only son died at the border. He was worried about the turbulent court situation, and his aunt actually killed him for her own selfishness.
Although my lady is just a village woman, she also knows that the country is big, and she is humble to your mother and daughter in every possible way. Even though she first came to Beijing and made things difficult, she still repaid her hatred with kindness. Dang, can the things you have done one after another be worthy of her painstaking efforts? "
Ji Huaishu and Yin Sinian were ashamed to hear the resounding words.
Recalling that before entering the palace, the eldest princess earnestly persuaded the two families to boycott the queen's reform of the official system in Langzhou, and now they can't wait to find a crack in the ground.
There is no righteousness in the eldest princess's heart, but only for her own selfish desires.
