Chapter 357: No tears without seeing the coffin

From the many rumors that came from those who escaped from Seoul behind him, I knew that in Seoul, something extremely terrible is happening.

As they fled north, many North Korean scholars who heard the news also joined the escape team in horror.

People rush to the top, even if the heavy snow continues, on this biting snowfield, it seems... they can leave the border as soon as possible and arrive in Liaodong.

Although Liu Jie is honest, he is not stupid.

From the news that many fleeing people along the way, he gradually understood it completely.

In fact, Li Long cleaned up domestic scholars on a small scale two years ago.

only……

It was not very large at that time.

However, the scale of this time is extremely widespread.

More than ten days later, Liu Jie finally arrived in Liaodong with a group of ragged North Korean scholars. Here, a military horse was already stationed.

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

This envoy Liu Qin is the son of the chief minister of the cabinet. He is the person who has taken great care of His Royal Highness and Xin Jianboge. If he dies, he will be finished.

Liu Jie was still in shock and suddenly thought that a large number of North Korean scholars were fleeing. After discussing with the command, the soldiers were ready to be contained!

On the border, camps were built one by one, and then, one after another, he quickly headed towards the capital.

……………………

Fang Jifan was actually quite worried about Liu Jie.

No matter what, this is my disciple.

On the other hand, when the conscientious Fang Jifan was completely heartless, he seemed completely heartless, and he should eat and sleep.

However, there have been many rumors in the court recently, and the censors have stolen the rumors and reported impeachment.

All the impeachment memorials were left behind. After all, there is no relevant evidence. I will compare things with real evidence.

However, when a more terrifying news came out, the government and the people were shocked.

Liu Jie is also colluding with the prince and Xin Jianbo.

Liu Jie is the son of the chief minister of the cabinet, which makes people think a lot.

People can actually understand the prince’s nonsense. After all, the prince is still young.

People can also understand Fang Jifan. Although he cursed in the impeachment memorial, in addition to being unable to swear words, all the words that the censors of the Six Censors could think of were used. But this Xinjian Bo is not old and has brain diseases.

Therefore, even if it is a huge disaster, as long as Your Majesty does not let go, everyone will scold you. Fang Jifan's identity is a martial honor. Although martial honor is not as important as civil officials now, the advantage of martial honor is that people often do not use too high moral standards to demand these royal relatives and nobles who were passed down from their ancestors.

After all, in the eyes of civil officials, these scumbags have low morality and will do such a thing. It is completely flattering to the crown prince. No one has ever looked at you with a high glance. Besides, no one looks at you no matter how Fang Jifan looks at it, he is just an accomplice.

Liu Jie is different.

I'm so destined.

The son of the chief minister of the cabinet, a scholar, was involved in such a thing. Is this... still strong? Are you still worthy of being a scholar?

The entire Shilin was ashamed of it.

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

Then, this association is even deeper. Was this instructed by Mr. Liu?

In the middle of the moon, it was still heavy snow, as cold as the bone.

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

All officials gathered together, and Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were also specially brought in.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao could have pretended to be sick and not participated, but unfortunately, His Majesty had an oral order, so he had to come obediently.

Fang Jifan was even more miserable. As an earl, he should have participated in the court discussions of officials above the fifth rank. If he didn't go, it means he was guilty and explained that he had done something ulterior motive. In order to show his integrity, Fang Jifan wore a Qilin suit early in the morning, resolutely gave Xiao Xiangxiang a hug, and went into the palace.

Outside the Meridian Gate, snow flutters are flying.

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

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

The atmosphere here is very strange. Those well-established ministers all lowered their heads and didn't care about their own affairs.

But the young censors, Ke Dao and Hanlin people, their eyes were glowing green, and they looked towards Liu Jian from time to time.

The young people are very popular and cannot bear the sand in their eyes. These young clear streamers finally caught a fly, so how could they let go?

Liu Jian was calm on his face, but his dark circles of eyes were betrayed him.

He hadn't slept well for many days. Although he had been silently convinced himself to calm down, he was still worried.

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

British Duke Zhang Mao seemed to be waiting for him. On the other side, Ben and a few Wu Xun in bullfighting uniforms were talking in a low voice. As soon as he saw Fang Jifan, he walked forward, patted Fang Jifan's shoulder, and lowered his voice: "Message in the market..."

"..." Fang Jifan just pursed his lips and said nothing, and he couldn't answer.

Zhang Mao looked around and showed off his demeanor as a Duke. He did not continue to ask, but said, "Have you heard that you don't cry until you see the coffin?"

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

Zhang Mao said lightly: "That means, even if you violate the laws of heaven, don't admit it if you bite it to death. If you admit it, you are stupid. Do you understand what I mean?"

Fang Jifan felt relieved. It turned out... In the British Prince's heart, this daily operation and a compliment is a daily operation.

Fang Jifan said, "I understand!"

Zhang Mao held his hands behind his back and nodded: "When necessary, all the dirty water will be poured on Liu Jian, what are you? The censor and the scholars in Shilin are eager to make a fuss. Liu Gong is the chief assistant. Someone in his family is involved in this matter, which will surely shock the world. If you hide behind, no one will care about you. Even if it is a murder, there should be a distinction between master and subordinate..."

"It's not good to do this." Fang Jifan looked very upset.

Zhang Mao smiled and said, "Just like an example, boy, you are as timid as a mouse, your heart is not dark enough and your hands are not cruel enough. How dare you cause trouble all day long?"

"Shiwang, I..."

Looking at Zhang Mao**'s naked look of contempt, Fang Jifan said righteously: "I don't understand what Uncle is saying. What kind of murder or coffin, what's wrong with me?"

“…”

Zhang Mao stared at Fang Jifan. Seeing Fang Jifan's face tense and feeling very wronged, he was stunned for a long time and finally understood... This kid is really shameless.

The palace gate opened and the ministers entered one after another.

In the hall of singularity.

Emperor Hongzhi was cold-faced. Zhu Houzhao had already arrived. He was humming and actually gave him a seat. He was sitting with his back, looking pitiful!

In fact, he couldn't stand up, and his skeleton was hurting all over his body.

Emperor Hongzhi did not show any expression, and waited for the ministers to salute and said gently: "All the ministers should be exempted from rituals. What are you talking about today...?"

Next, Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, presided over the meeting, and reported today's preparations for the matter, and then the relevant ministers began to discuss.

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

Liu Jian's heart sank to the bottom.

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

He didn't say it, but he said it was okay, but he asked in a simple way what was going on. The meaning behind it is worth chewing.

The censor Wang Fang stood up, and Wang Fang looked righteous and righteous: "Sometimes ago, there were rumors in the market that it was a false edict from the Eastern Palace. I don't know the authenticity. Now the crowd is in full swing, and the scholars are in full swing. I dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is there any such thing?"

Zhu Houzhao was still sitting, shook her head and said, "I have never heard of it."

I have never heard of it, it is obviously meaningful.

Now everyone thinks it is an imperial edict forged by the prince.

If Zhu Houzhao answered, it was not done by this palace, it would be like luring the dirty water onto him.

But I have never heard of it now. The meaning is that, anyway, I don’t know about this. Even if you find out, there is a false edict leak, but I still don’t know about it. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, and at most it is done by other people in the East Palace.

This is a major event that violates the laws of heaven. Even if the evidence is placed in front of you, it must not be admitted on the spot.

Wang Fang was not surprised, as if he felt that His Royal Highness would definitely say this!

He continued: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince 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 rumors, and there are also reports in Shanhaiguan. The General of Shanhaiguan admitted that there was indeed a man who claimed to be an imperial envoy coming from the East Palace to go to Korea. He changed to a fast horse at Shanhaiguan halfway, and I checked the archives of the edict in the Hanlin Academy, and found that at this time, the palace did not issue an edict... In other words, a edict that did not exist in the palace had not been printed, the waiting room had not been drafted, nor was it archived in the Hanlin Academy. It was actually issued more than a month ago."

“…”

These censors are indeed flies.

This is really based on facts and I got it.

The Jinshen Palace suddenly seemed to explode. It was just rumors before, but now it is equivalent to the truth being revealed.

Wang Fang suddenly sternly said, "Mr. Liu, shouldn't you say something?"

The two people who the censors like to impeach the most are the emperor and the other is Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet. After all, only impeachment is required and it will be recorded in history and is famous all over the world. This name of Qingzhi spreads itself throughout the world!
