Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 357: Don't Cry without Seeing the Coffin

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

From the many gossips and gossips of those who fled from Seoul, we know that a terrible thing is happening in Seoul.

While fleeing all the way north, many North Korean scholars who heard the news along the way also joined the fleeing team in horror.

People are scrambling to be the first, even though the heavy snow doesn't stop, on this piercing snow field, it seems...the only hope for them to survive is to get out of the country as soon as possible and reach Liaodong.

Although Liu Jie is honest, he is not stupid.

From the information he heard from many fleeing people along the way, he gradually understood it completely.

In fact, Li Long had purged domestic scholars on a small scale two years ago.

only……

It wasn't that big back then.

However, the scale of this time is extremely extensive.

More than ten days later, Liu Jie finally arrived in Liaodong with a group of ragged North Korean scholars, where an army had already been stationed.

The commander who led the team found Liu Jie and heaved a sigh of relief!

This envoy Liu Qin was the son of the chief minister of the cabinet, and he was taken care of by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xinjian Berg. If he died, he would be finished.

Liu Jie was still in shock, and suddenly thought that a large number of North Korean scholars were fleeing, so he discussed with the commander and asked the soldiers to prepare to take them in!

On the border of the country, camps were set up one by one, and afterward, a letter of memorials flew away in the direction of the capital.

………………

Fang Jifan was actually quite worried about Liu Jie.

Anyway, this is my grandson.

On the other hand, Fang Jifan, who has a conscience, Zhu Houzhao seems completely heartless. He should eat and sleep.

It's just that there have been a lot of gossip and rumors in the court recently, and the censors have been stalking and impeaching one after another.

The memorials of impeachment were all retained. After all, there is no relevant evidence for such things.

However, when a more terrible news came out, the ruling and opposition parties were shaken.

Liu Jie also colluded with the prince and Xinjian Bo.

Liu Jie is the son of the chief minister of the cabinet, which makes people imagine.

People can actually understand the prince's nonsense, the prince is still young after all.

People can also understand Fang Jifan. Although the impeachment memorial was full of curses, except for swearing, all the words that the censors of the six subjects could think of were used. But this Uncle Xinjian is not very old, and he still has brain disease.

Therefore, even if it is a catastrophe, as long as His Majesty does not let go, everyone will just scold and scold. Fang Jifan's identity is Wu Xun. Although Wu Xun is not as important as civil servants now, the advantage of Wu Xun is that people often They will not use too high a moral standard to demand these royal relatives, as well as the nobles who have passed down an iron rice bowl from their ancestors.

After all, in the eyes of civil servants, these scumbags have low morality, and doing such a thing is completely flattering the prince. No one has ever looked at you highly. Besides, Fang Jifan thinks it is all Just an accessory.

Liu Jie is different.

I'm devastated.

The son of a dignified cabinet minister, a scholar, actually participated in such a thing. Does this... still have character? Are you still worthy of being a scholar?

The entire scholastic community is ashamed of it.

This is not important, what is important is that he is Liu Jian's son.

Then, the association is even deeper. Was it ordered by Mr. Liu?

In the middle of the month, it was still snowing heavily and it was as cold as a bone.

The court meeting of the Ming Dynasty was held as scheduled.

Hundreds of officials gathered, and Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were also specially brought here.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao could pretend to be sick and not participate, but unfortunately, His Majesty ordered him to come obediently.

Fang Jifan was even worse. As an earl, he should have participated in the court meeting of officials above the fifth rank. If he did not go, it would mean that he was guilty and explained that he had done something ulterior. In order to show his integrity, Fang Jifan wore it early in the morning In the unicorn suit, he resolutely gave Xiao Xiangxiang a hug and went into the palace.

Outside the Meridian Gate, snow flakes are flying.

Beside Liu Jianjian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were whispering something to him.

At this time, the gate of the palace has not yet opened, and everyone is waiting here.

The atmosphere here is very strange, those old and prudent ministers all lowered their heads, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

But the young censors, Ke Dao, and Hanlin all had green eyes, looking in Liu Jian's direction from time to time.

Young people are full of vigor and can't tolerate sand in their eyes. These young Qingliu finally caught a fly, so how could they let go.

Liu Jian's face was at ease, but the dark circles under his eyes had already betrayed him.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep for many days, and although he had been silently persuading himself to be calm, he was still unavoidably worried.

As soon as Fang Jifan arrived, it immediately caused a small commotion, and everyone's eyes fell on Fang Jifan.

The British Duke Zhang Mao seemed to be waiting for him to come. On the other side, Ben was chatting with several warriors in bullfight uniforms in a low voice. shoulder, lowered his voice and said: "The message in the market..."

"..." Fang Jifan just pursed his lips and remained silent, it was difficult for him to answer.

Zhang Mao

Looking left and right, showing the demeanor of a prince, he didn't continue to ask, but said: "Have you heard that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin?"

"Ah..." Fang Jifan looked at Zhang Mao in surprise, he was about to see the coffin, so miserable?

Zhang Mao said indifferently: "That is to say, even if you violate the rules of heaven, don't admit it if you bite to death. If you admit it, you are stupid. Do you understand what the old man means?"

Fang Jifan was relieved, it turns out... In the heart of the British public, it is a daily practice to not shed tears without seeing the coffin, and it is a compliment.

Fang Jifan said: "Understood!"

Zhang Mao put his hands behind his back, nodded and nodded: "When necessary, dirty water is poured on Liu Jian. What are you? The censor and the scholars of Shilin can't wait to make an earth-shattering disturbance. Liu Gong is the chief assistant. And this matter will definitely shake the world, and when you hide behind, no one will care about you. Even if it is a murder, there should be a master and slave..."

"It's not good." Fang Jifan looked annoyed.

Zhang Mao smiled and said: "It's just an analogy, boy, you are as cowardly as a mother, your heart is not dark enough, your hands are not cruel enough, how dare you cause trouble all day long?"

"Uncle Shi, I..."

Seeing Zhang Mao's naked look of contempt for himself, Fang Jifan said righteously: "I don't understand what the uncle is talking about. What murder, what coffin, what have I caused?"

"..."

Zhang Mao stared at Fang Jifan, seeing Fang Jifan's sullen face, as if he had been greatly wronged, he was stunned for a long time, and finally understood... This kid is really shameless.

The palace gate opened, and the ministers filed in.

Be in the hall.

Emperor Hongzhi had a cold face, Zhu Houzhao had arrived long ago, and he looked like he was humming, but the emperor actually gave him a seat, and he sat with his back, looking pitiful!

In fact, he couldn't stand up either, and his whole body hurt.

Emperor Hongzhi did not show any signs of expression, waited for the ministers to salute, and said gently: "Everyone, please excuse me, today... what are you discussing?"

Next, Liu Jian, who was supposed to be the chief assistant of the cabinet, presided over the meeting and reported on the matters to be discussed today, and then the relevant ministers began to discuss.

But before Liu Jian could speak, someone stood up: "Your Majesty, I have something to play."

Liu Jian's heart sank to the bottom.

Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

He didn't say anything but it didn't matter, but he simply asked what was going on, and the meaning behind it was worth chewing on.

The one who stood up was Yu Shi Wang Fang, Wang Fang had a righteous look on his face: "A few days ago, there were rumors that there was a false edict issued by the Eastern Palace, but the authenticity is unknown, but now the public is raging, and the scholars are boiling, I dare to ask the prince Your Highness, is there any matter?"

Zhu Houzhao was still sitting, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

I've never heard of it, but it's obviously interesting.

Now everyone thinks it was a forged imperial decree by the prince.

If Zhu Houzhao replied that it was not Ben Gong who did it, it would be tantamount to directing the dirty water to himself.

But now I say I have never heard of it. The meaning is that anyway, I don’t know about this matter. Even if you find out that there is a false edict, I still don’t know about it. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. Others do.

This is a major event that violates the rules of heaven. Even if there is iron and steel evidence in front of you, you must never admit it on the spot.

Wang Fang was not surprised, she seemed to think that His Royal Highness would definitely say that!

He went on to say: "If His Royal Highness has nothing to do with this matter, then it is a blessing for the country. I have collected a lot of evidence here, including some gossip, and there are also reports in Shanhaiguan. The general soldier of Shanhaiguan admitted that it is true A person who claimed to be an imperial envoy came from the Eastern Palace and was going to North Korea. He changed to a fast horse at Shanhaiguan halfway, and the minister checked the archives of the imperial edict in the Imperial Academy. It turned out that at this time, the palace No imperial edict was issued... That is to say, an imperial edict that did not exist in the Lian Palace was never printed by the Supervisor of Rituals, drafted by the waiting imperial edict room, and not filed in the Imperial Academy, yet it was actually issued more than a month ago .”

"..."

These censors really belong to flies.

This is really evidence-based, really got it.

The Jinshen Palace suddenly seemed to explode. It was just rumors before, but now the truth is about to come out.

Wang Fang suddenly said sharply: "Grand Liu, shouldn't I say something?"

The censors like to impeach two people the most, one is the emperor, and the other is Liu Jian, the chief assistant scholar of the cabinet. After all, only impeachment is needed, and it will be recorded in the annals of history immediately, and the name will move the world. This name of integrity will spread in Yunei!

Even if people are offended and the official is dismissed, in the future when the new emperor ascends the throne, there is still the possibility of reinstatement. If you don't show respect to him, scholars all over the world will regard him as a model.
