Vol 2 Chapter 1484: discerning
Chapter 1484 Knowing the details
Xiao Jing nodded.
However...Xiao Jing saw that His Majesty's attitude was unclear, but he couldn't help beating his heart.
In fact, the factory guard went crazy last night, kept bringing notes, and passed them in through the crack of the palace gate, wanting to listen to Xiao Jing's instructions.
Xiao Jing was also very embarrassed, asked the factory guard to intervene immediately, what is the interference, those people in Xishan Academy are crazy, the factory guard will be beaten.
But if you don't interfere and let such a thing happen, it will be dereliction of duty.
Of course, the most important thing here is... His Majesty's attitude.
It would be extremely unwise to act rashly without knowing His Majesty's intentions.
Xiao Jing had complicated thoughts and left in a hurry.
Soon after, Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne and summoned all officials.
So Xie Qian was the leader, and after Li Dongyang, there were ministers from various ministries who led hundreds of officials to meet.
All the officials saluted.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Last night, I heard a bang from the capital, and there were factory guards carrying notes, and they kept passing into the palace. I don't know what happened?"
Xie Qian and the others have complicated thoughts, and they are increasingly unable to understand His Majesty.
Ma Wensheng, Zhang Shengren, etc. also have their own concerns.
Fang Jifan's behavior is extremely bad.
This is no longer a matter of right and wrong.
But, you think you are right, you can be so?
What do you want the emperor to do, what do you want the court to do?
At this time, someone came out of the shift and said: "Your Majesty, Fang Jifan mobilized troops without authorization yesterday, surrounded the Jiang Mansion, and killed them wantonly after that."
It's much easier to have someone lead the team...
Then there was a human voice: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi actually used gunpowder in the private house. The power of the gunpowder was so powerful that it shocked the capital."
"Your Majesty... Qi Guogong insulted Jiang Yan, the imperial envoy. So far, the life and death of Jiang Yan and his son are uncertain."
"Your Majesty... the Duke of Qi claims that he is Wang Fa."
"Your Majesty... Qi Guogong actually stuffed the imperial court official into the prison cart, so that he lost his elegance."
"Your Majesty..."
All these piles, one by one, are appalling.
From Emperor Hongwugao to now, there have been countless arrogant and powerful ministers, but this is not the case.
"Your Majesty..." Zuo Du Censor stood up.
He is the leader of the censor, and Jiang Yan is his subordinate after all, so he has reason to stand up and say something like this: "Your Majesty, no matter what the reason is, Fang Jifan dared to do this and ignore the court's laws. It is a serious crime of treason. If you tolerate him and everyone follows him, from now on, the country will be no country, and the country will be safe?"
As soon as this remark comes out, this is the most powerful thing.
To some extent.
No one cares about what is right and wrong anymore, but Fang Jifan should be sentenced to death just because of his behavior.
Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said in an unclear way: "Oh, so that's the case."
Then, he said again: "Where is Jiang Yanren? Come and pass it on. There are also Fang Jifan and others, and pass it on together."
Hundred officials fell silent.
No one said anything.
Li Dongyang's judgment is correct.
His Majesty asked Liu Jian to recuperate from his illness, which meant protection.
Now that something like this is happening, if Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, is here, as the head of all officials, I'm afraid he has to make a statement here.
He even envied Liu Jian for having such a holy family.
After waiting for a long time, finally... that Jiang Yan was carried here.
Jiang Yan was dressed in ragged clothes and looked miserable. When he arrived at the Fengtian Palace, he burst into tears: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I acted on the orders of the emperor, and for some reason, I offended that Fang Jifan... and now I have been tossed by Fang Jifan to the point of ruin. , where the family is ruined..."
His voice choked up, and tears fell down like a flooding river.
Obviously because he didn’t sleep all night last night, and because he was **** all night, his hands and feet were already numb. He mournfully said: “Your Majesty, I beg you to be the master.”
The next words, I can't continue.
When the ministers saw Jiang Yan, they couldn't help feeling terrified. Look, how miserable it is. The dignified censor Qingliu and the dignified imperial envoy have been tossed to such a degree. Many people's hearts are full of sorrow.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly when he saw it.
"Why did Fang Jifan do this?"
Jiang Yan said sadly: "I don't know."
Emperor Hongzhi said: "I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. It is really unpredictable that such a thing will happen. Have Fang Jifan come?"
At this time, an **** finally said outside: "Prince, Qi State Duke Fang Jifan, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Ouyang Zhi have an audience."
The three entered the hall, and immediately bowed down.
Emperor Hongzhi met with these three people.
Ouyang Zhi remained expressionless.
In fact, Ouyang Zhi can be completely ignored from the perspective of observation.
Zhu Houzhao strode forward, like a proud little rooster, ah, no, more like a victorious general.
Fang Jifan seemed to lower his eyebrows a lot, and walked into the hall with his head down.
"I have seen His Majesty."
The three of them bowed down at the same time and made a big salute.
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes first fell on Fang Jifan.
"Fang Qing's house."
"The minister is here." Fang Jifan's voice was gentle, even today he was reticent.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Are all the performances of the ministers true?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it should be... true." He still lowered his head, looking ashamed.
Obviously, the strategy has changed this time, which is a bit different from before.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Fang Qing's family took people to Jiang Mansion and blew up Jiang Mansion?"
Fang Jifan replied honestly: "Yes."
"Domineering to the point of claiming to be king?"
"yes."
"Do you have anything to argue about?" Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan looked trembling: "I have nothing to argue about. This is a crime of death. I know it well. I implore your majesty to commit the crime to me."
"..."
It's... something, no... very wrong.
If it was Fang Jifan in the past, I'm afraid he would have to talk eloquently, or claim that he has a brain disease and that he is a child.
But today, unexpectedly, he was obedient and obedient, and confessed to all the crimes.
Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "You know, this is a crime of death."
Fang Jifan still looked harmless and said: "I know, I have already made the best plan."
Jiang Yan, who was kneeling aside, heard a glimmer of light in his grief-stricken eyes, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart.
Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan, weren't you very arrogant yesterday? Aren't you very proud?
What's the matter now.
He gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Fang Jifan to pieces.
So he said: "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi glared at Jiang Yan suddenly, and said sharply, "I didn't let you speak."
Jiang Yan: "..."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned.
If Fang Jifan had the temperament of the past, he would have to feel that Fang Jifan committed a crime knowingly and his temper was too arrogant. Even if Fang Jifan was right, he should be beaten hard to sharpen his spirit.
But now... Fang Jifan lowered his eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, obediently admitted his mistakes, and admitted all the crimes, which made Emperor Hongzhi realize that the problem was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Fang Jifan, have you ever received an edict from the crown prince before this?"
Fang Jifan shook his head: "No, it's all my sons and ministers making decisions without authorization."
As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Houzhao was stunned again.
Didn’t we agree?
He suddenly shouted: "Yes, yes... It's on Lao Fang. Father searched and found out that it was written by my son himself."
"To tell the truth." Fang Jifan insisted, "No, the crown prince doesn't know anything about it."
Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he glared at Fang Jifan, knocked a wrench from his sleeve, and dropped a wrench.
Everyone gasped, their gazes became complicated.
This thing was familiar to all the guests last night.
This thing again...
Emperor Hongzhi stood up, ignored Zhu Houzhao, and only stared at Fang Jifan: "Why are you doing this?"
"Because..." Fang Jifan took a deep breath and said, "Because Jiang Yan took my son's uncle, and my son... was furious..."
"Uncle when did you come?" Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised, obviously Fang Jifan's answer was somewhat unexpected.
You surnamed Fang, didn’t you send all of you to the Golden Continent?
You, Fang Jifan, are now the lone star of the devil.
Here, and patrilineal relatives?
Fang Jifan nodded and said, "Yes."
"Who is this person?"
Fang Jifan said: "His name is not worth mentioning."
The more so, the more strange Emperor Hongzhi felt.
There must be many hidden secrets here.
He originally thought that Fang Jifan was displeased with Jiang Yan's misbehavior as an imperial envoy.
Of course...this was Emperor Hongzhi's plan.
But this plan was disrupted by Fang Jifan's misconduct.
Emperor Hongzhi was a little curious, and said: "Then call this person, I want to see with my own eyes, who is this person."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing nodded in understanding, and went to do it immediately.
All the officials remained silent.
This matter, they have been unable to intervene, just waiting for the final result.
Jiang Yan sneered in his heart.
He knew very well that Fang Jifan was grasping at straws and would not let go of any chance.
Said that he took his uncle, hehe... He can find such an excuse.
Even if you take it, so what? This old man is acting impartially.
You, Fang Jifan, can act like this?
Just want to use this to get rid of the crime?
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes fell on Jiang Yan, looking very anxious and impatient.
This matter is... tricky.
Of course...he has his own ideas in mind.
I hate Jiang Yan to the extreme.
What Fang Jifan did was just a little too much.
But…
When Emperor Hongzhi looked anxious.
But someone limped into the temple with a cane.
Emperor Hongzhi took a closer look and was startled.
This person... unexpectedly looks familiar.
But…
Although this person had changed into new clothes, it was obvious that the exposed skin on his face was full of scars. Perhaps it was because the injury was not serious, so although he walked into the palace stubbornly, every step he took, his body was full of scars. in a strange pose.
Emperor Hongzhi has eyes!
Chen Zhong...
