Chapter 560 Do You Support It or Not? (Monthly Vote Requested!)

There are two rows of court rooms outside the Meridian Gate. Originally, they were places for ministers to wait and rest before going to court. The East Court Room was for civil officials, and the West Court Room was for military officials.

Later, as time went by, it was used for meetings, especially the East Court Room.

The officials participating in the court trial today include officials from the cabinet, the court hall, and representatives from the six departments and thirteen provinces. There are friendly troops, enemy troops, and people between enemies and friends.

But no matter which side, there is no plan in mind today.

Because no one knows what Lin Tailai is thinking, they can only adapt to the situation when they come.

Lin Tailai's tall and majestic body stood at the door of the East Court Room, as if it was blocked so tightly that even light could not penetrate.

Somehow, a huge sense of oppression came over me. This feeling of being blocked at the door really made people feel too insecure.

Lin Tailai greeted everyone: "I haven't seen you for more than a month, you are still as elegant as ever!"

Then he asked the Minister of Works Song Xun: "Minister Song! Who among you Qingliu gentlemen will be the main force today?"

There are dozens of members of the Qingliu faction. No matter how capable Lin Tailai is, he can't guess who will be the main force today.

"Get lost!" Song Xun responded with a dark face.

Chen Ju, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, who represented the emperor today, didn't want to see the drama turn into a farce, so he said: "Let's start!"

Everyone knows that Eunuch Chen came to ask questions today on behalf of the emperor who was too lazy to go to court, so his status is the highest.

Eunuch Chen took out the memorial that angered the emperor, read it once, and asked Lin Tailai:

"Did you write this memorial yourself and submit it in person?"

Lin Tailai replied: "Yes."

Eunuch Chen asked again: "It was not someone else who impersonated me, nor was I deceived by others?"

Lin Tailai replied: "It was indeed done by me personally, there was no impersonation or deception."

Eunuch Chen said to the court officials: "Your Majesty! Lin Tailai has no respect for the emperor, father, or minister. I hand him over to the ministers for discussion!"

Immediately, Li Xianke, the chief official of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said righteously: "What Lin Tailai said in the memorial is the words of the country! I beg the emperor to accept it and don't blame the ministers for admonishing!"

The chief official of the Ministry of Rites, Zhong Yuzheng, also spoke up and said: "The warning from heaven is fulfilled in the saintly virtue. What crime has Lin Tailai committed in offering loyal advice?"

Lin Tailai glanced at the two who spoke first, and he knew it well.

It seems that the main force of the Qingliu faction today is the Li Department, one of the six departments, which is also a professional match.

Others just think that this scene is really magical. The general of the Qingliu faction actually defended his mortal enemy Lin Tailai.

But it is understandable, this is "political correctness".

The Qingliu faction cannot sit back and watch Lin Tailai being punished for such remarks, otherwise the political foundation will collapse, and they have to come out and show it anyway.

Then the court officials spoke one after another, regardless of former enemies and friends, almost unanimously supporting Lin Tailai.

At least for now, this is the safest position to choose.

Eunuch Chen was stunned, as if he was angry, and shouted loudly:

"The emperor summoned you here to discuss the crime of the arrogant and rude Lin Tailai! Not to exonerate him! Are you going to openly disobey the emperor's order!"

Li Xianke, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Rites, responded: "Advising the emperor with loyal words is indeed a virtue of the subjects, what crime is there?"

Eunuch Chen refuted: "Even if we put aside the memorials, Lin Tailai has no sin at all?

He fled back to the capital from Xuanfu Town without authorization, which is the crime of desertion! Why do you turn a blind eye to it?"

??????55.??????

Li Xianke argued: "It was a mistake to send Lin Tailai, who spoke frankly and gave advice, as a criminal soldier. It should not have happened!

Under this premise, the public crime of Lin Tailai as a criminal soldier should be forgiven!

And desertion belongs to the scope of public crimes, not private crimes such as murder and arson!"

Chen Ju: ""

Fuck! The Qingliu faction is really good at arguing!

Ordinary people can't beat them, unless they meet Lin Tailai in the opposite house.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Chen turned his head and looked at Lin Tailai, are you still not going to take action?

If you continue at the current rhythm and trend, you, Lin Tailai, will completely stand on the opposite side of the emperor.

Then don't even think about getting the emperor's pardon, and the Jinyiwei officers are waiting outside the court door, and they may send you to hell at any time. If you are exiled again, it will not be Xizhimen!

Suddenly, the tall and majestic Lin Tailai shouted anxiously: "Don't quarrel! It's all my fault!"

Everyone: ""

Is the new authentic Suzhou Biluochun green tea on the market this year?

Lin Tailai said to Li Xianke again: "Li Shiyi! I have violated the majesty of heaven, I know that I am deeply sinful, and I am willing to accept punishment!

You don't have to defend me, so as not to bring disaster to yourself!"

What else can Li Xianke say? Of course, I pinched my nose and said, "You are convicted for speaking out. Anyone with a sense of justice should defend you to the end!"

Although Lin Tailai is a bad person, his remarks this time must be supported.

Lin Tailai said painfully again, "I can't bear to see you disobey the order and implicate you all!

Just discuss the crime for me. It's not the first time for me anyway.

Last time in the palace, Wang Shanyin took the lead in arguing for me, but I survived, didn't I?"

The little transparent Wang Jiaping who has been trying to hide in the corner today: ""

The Qingliu forces cursed in their hearts. This little thing can't be exposed, right?

Lin Tailai turned to Eunuch Chen and said sincerely: "I was in the inner palace that day, and I was dragged out and beaten before I finished speaking.

So I have always felt regretful. After witnessing the disaster, I decided to submit a memorial to fill the vacancy and express all my feelings."

Zhao Zhigao, the old assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, suddenly stood up, "Since you mentioned the disaster, I have a few words to say!"

Everyone was very surprised. Zhao Zhigao was very low-key in the court most of the time and rarely showed up in public.

I heard Zhao Zhigao continue to say: "The court is unfair to Lin Tailai!

The previous punishment was unfair, and the subsequent expulsion was even more unfair! There was even a disaster!

It is still unfair to discuss the crime now! And the source of all injustice is the cabinet elder Wang Shanyin!"

Everyone was in an uproar. A candidate who was qualified to join the cabinet publicly questioned a cabinet elder. What does this mean?

Wang Jiaping in the corner was furious. You Zhao Zhigao finally stopped pretending? No longer hiding your ambition to replace yourself?

Let's fight, I'm not afraid of you!

Zhao Zhigao added: "In my opinion, this disaster is also related to Wang Shanyin!"

Li Xianke hurriedly controlled the situation and said: "This court meeting is about Lin Tailai's matter! No need to deviate from the topic!"

Zhao Zhigao pointed at Lin Tailai and asked Li Xianke: "Do you support Lin Jiuyuan today? Do you support his memorial?"

Li Xianke couldn't take back what he had just said, so he could only say: "Of course I support it."

But after saying that, he felt something was wrong!
