Jiajing Chengming

Chapter 125: It’s not your turn to say the words “all the people of the world”!

The chief civil officials of the three judicial departments were happy, and even wished that it was the Jinyiwei who did it.

But they.

On the surface, the interrogation will still be fair.

This was to avoid the emperor from being angry with them after he found out.

"Is there any evidence?"

It was at this time that the Minister of Justice Lin Jun asked this question.

Yuanyin said: "How could they leave me any evidence of this kind of thing?"

The Left Censor-in-Chief Wang Zun also frowned and reminded, "Then you should know the consequences of slandering the emperor's personal guards."

"I didn't slander!"

Yuanyin suddenly yelled.

then.

Yuanyin continued, "Some people in the Jinyiwei didn't want to reform the currency system, so they decided to embezzle and prepared a meteorite with words on it in advance, hoping to pin the blame on the scholars in Jiangnan, so that they could vent their anger on the scholars and let the Jinyiwei go to Jiangnan to collect money. Moreover, the Jinyiwei themselves told me that this was also the intention of the Internal Court Silijian. They wanted to take this opportunity to let the emperor send new eunuchs to guard the country!"

When Yuanyin said this, many civil servants present were stunned and started talking endlessly.

"quiet!"

Lin Jun shouted loudly, and the scene of the three judicial courts' trial became quiet.

"Why don't you believe it?"

"Do you really believe that the meteorite that fell from the sky had words on it?"

Yuanyin started to loudly question the officials of the Three Judicial Departments after she finished speaking.

Lin Jun, Wang Zun, and Jiang Sheng all looked at the eunuch Qin Wen of the Imperial Household Department and the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard Wang Jing with complicated expressions.

"No one in our Jinyiwei does not support the reform of the money law!"

"No one in our Jinyiwei wants to go to Jiangnan to make money!"

At this time.

Wang Jing argued with a sullen face, looking at Yuanyin with a cold gaze.

He is now furious.

Because he didn't expect that Yuanyin would frame him, the Jinyiwei, and sow discord between them and the emperor, and even accuse them of being disloyal.

Although Qin Wen saw that Yuan Yin was also throwing dirty water on his Silijian, he secretly made the officials and soldiers present believe that the Silijian was the mastermind behind this matter and that the Silijian was dissatisfied with the emperor's withdrawal of the eunuchs who were guarding the country.

But he was calmer than Wang Jing and just looked at Yuanyin quietly.

Although Lin Jun was willing to believe that this matter was related to the fact that the Imperial Household Department and the Royal Guards were disloyal to the emperor and wanted to prevent the reform and go back to Jiangnan to make money, in order not to make his butt look too crooked, he still said righteously:
"The Imperial Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers, how could they do such a thing? The Imperial Clerk of the Inner Court is also full of people loyal to His Majesty, so they can't do such a thing either!"

Wang Zun also said, "That's right. I think there's no need to retry this case! The Jinyiwei and Silijian are involved, and the dignity of the emperor has been affected. It's better to directly report to the emperor and ask for an imperial decree to bring Yuanyin to justice!"

"Very true!"

"Don't say that the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Household Department didn't do this. Even if they did, it's not something you, a bald thief, can comment on."

Jiang Sheng followed suit.

Yuan Yin sneered, "Gentlemen, why do you have to pretend to be righteous and choose to protect them? Now that I have no way out, I should speak frankly. Not only do I know that the Jinyiwei were the mastermind behind this, I also know who the mastermind Jinyiwei are!"

"who is it?"

"Who did you say you were?"

Wang Jing asked himself.

Yuanyin looked at Wang Jing: "It's you, Da Jinwu, why are you asking when you already know the answer?"

At this time.

The criminal censors and officials from the Ministry of Justice who were present at the execution all looked at Wang Jing.

Wang Jing felt as if he had been stabbed in the back, panicking and angry: "It's not me! You are slandering me!"

"Yes, it is slander. I know the character of the Great King Wu. He would never do such a thing that would let down His Majesty and the people of the world."

Dali Temple Minister Jiang Sheng said something at this time.

"The surname is Jiang!"

"You only climbed to this position by relying on your brother's position as the deputy minister in the court."

"It's not your turn to say the words 'people of the world'!"

At this time, Liu Zhu, the Chief Censor of the Criminal Department, suddenly stood up, pointed at Jiang Sheng and started to scold him.

It is clear.

The behavior of Jiang Sheng and other three judicial officials who deliberately defended the Jinyiwei caused dissatisfaction among him, an official of the Criminal Department.

Jiang Sheng just laughed when he saw this, and was not angry.

Lin Jun and Wang Zun were not angry either.

Qin Wen was even more indifferent, and was only prepared to go back and tell Emperor Zhu Houcong everything.

Yuanyin saw that the criminal department officials had been influenced by him, and he felt proud and replied:
"I didn't slander!"

"All of this was ordered by Wang Jing!"

"He asked me to spread this story. He told me that he wanted to be even richer, so he didn't want the emperor to issue new money in Shuntian Prefecture to affect his lending. He also didn't want Jiangnan to have no eunuchs stationed there, so that he couldn't send Jinyiwei to Jiangnan with the eunuchs to collect money for him."

Wang Jing's expression became increasingly gloomy. He was even a little worried that the emperor would think the same way.

Liu Zhu, the chief judge of the Criminal Department, looked at Wang Jing with ill intentions at this time: "Since he can't produce any evidence, you might as well produce evidence yourself to prove that you have nothing to do with this matter."

Wang Jing asked coldly: "How do you want me to prove it?"

"It's very simple. You just need to accept that you are a suspect and cooperate with the three judicial officials to stay in the cell where the Metropolitan Procuratorate is holding the officials!"

Liu Zhu, the chief censor of the Criminal Department, said with a smile.

Wang Jing took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go!"

Yuanyin then said: "It's just a show. The three judges won't do anything to him. If you have the guts, just kill yourself now! If a person doesn't care about death, he naturally doesn't care about interests!"

"You want me to die?"

Wang Jing asked Yuanyin in a cold voice.

Yuanyin sneered, "I didn't mean that."

"That's what you mean." Wang Jing replied.

Yuanyin deliberately asked: "Are you really afraid of death?"

Wang Jing clenched his fists.

Sudden.

Wang Jing pulled out the knife of a Jinyiwei behind him.

Yuanyin became even more proud when he saw this and laughed to himself.

These monks have long been frequent visitors to the homes of powerful bureaucrats.

Therefore, before doing these things, they had already thoroughly investigated the personalities of the main officials of the Jinyiwei, and also knew the strengths and weaknesses of the personalities of Jinyiwei officials such as Wang Jing.

Yuanyin naturally knew that Wang Jing was very loyal to the emperor and especially cared about the impression he made in front of the emperor, but he also had a strong personality and was easily provoked.

Because of this.

Yuanyin is now constantly provoking Wang Jing.

"No!"

Qin Wen shouted at this time.

then.

Qin Wen looked at Lin Jun, Wang Zun, and Jiang Sheng: "You are the officials of the Three Judicial Departments. Do you really want to watch your Majesty's old man being instigated to commit suicide here?"

"Put down the knife!"

Lin Jun hurriedly shouted at this time.

Wang Zun even left his seat and walked up to Wang Jing:

"If you do this, won't you fall into his trap?"

"People all over the world will laugh at you for being killed and eliminated so easily with words! Naturally, His Majesty will be even more disappointed in you because of this!"

"I'm not trying to commit suicide."

"I want to kill him!"

Wang Jing replied at this time.

Yuanyin was not afraid but happy, and directly replied: "Then you just want to silence me!"

"you!"

Wang Jing's eyes widened and he pointed at Yuanyin angrily.

Yuanyin laughed wildly.

Seeing this, Qin Wen said, "We think we should not hold another trial today. This case involves the Jinyiwei and Silijian. We should ask the emperor to do the trial himself. Otherwise, it would be like framing the emperor's personal guards and officials, and it would be disrespectful to the emperor."

Lin Jun nodded: "It is not appropriate to retry."

Wang Zhan followed up by saying, "Eunuch Qin is right. This matter should be reported immediately and then re-examined!"

Jiang Sheng also said: "I will also go to the book."

"Wait!"

Liu Zhu shouted when he saw this.

then.

He looked at Wang Jing and said, "Grand Jinwu, you should ask to be detained in the Censorate to prove your innocence!"

Snapped!
Wang Zhan suddenly slapped Liu Zhu in the face: "What do you want to do?! Don't you think the situation is chaotic enough?!"

Liu Zhu held his burning face and looked at Wang Zun in confusion, his heart filled with anger: "Why is the General Secretary doing this?"

"Why do you say I am?"

"If the Grand Guardian suddenly dies in prison, who will bear the blame, you or me?"

As Wang Zun spoke, he loudly questioned Liu Zhu.

Liu Zhu remained silent.

Wang Jing also understood and looked at Liu Zhu with a cold expression.

Soon.

Lin Jun, Wang Zun, and Jiang Sheng jointly submitted a report, truthfully reporting what had happened that day.

at the same time.

The news that Yuanyin said that the burning of grain was done by the Jinyiwei themselves spread quickly throughout the court and the country, and many court officials began to talk about it.

Officials from Jiangnan, such as Zhu Xizhou, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because it means that they can continue to use the grain tax as a threat to force the emperor to forgive his ministers.

Therefore, Zhu Xizhou and other civil servants from Jiangnan also chose to believe Yuanyin's words, and thought that it was the work of the Jinyiwei. They submitted a memorial to the emperor, asking him to send people to investigate the Jinyiwei.

Many people even believed what Yuanyin said, thinking that this was a signal that the inner court wanted to send more eunuchs and Jinyiwei to the local areas to collect money. So, one after another, they wrote memorials to criticize the Silijian and Jinyiwei as if they had suffered stress trauma.

These memorials floated into the palace one by one like snowflakes.

"Since it was the Jinyiwei who stole the property and slandered the scholars in Jiangnan, Your Majesty, please bring them to justice!"

"Your Majesty, if you want the reform to go smoothly, you should stop protecting your own shortcomings now. The Jinyiwei are already disloyal, especially Wang Jing and others, they should be killed!"

"The Imperial Household Department is ambitious and the Imperial Guards are disloyal and overbearing. Your Majesty should implement benevolent policies and dismiss them all!"

……

Zhu Xizhou and other civil servants in Jiangnan were also very proud of this.

On the day of the imperial lecture, Gu Dingchen said to his fellow lecturers with great joy:
"The emperor should understand that the people of the world have already determined that this was done by the Jinyiwei. Therefore, if the emperor does not punish the Jinyiwei, people will undoubtedly question whether the emperor is upright, which will in turn affect the grain transport!"

Lian Mao Cheng also smiled and said: "Yes, Your Majesty should not protect our shortcomings at this time, and should not use this to anger our Jiangnan scholars and people, otherwise the grain transport will be cut off, which will harm the country's major policies!"

Zhu Xizhou said nothing, but he could not hide his joy, so when he opened a letter that had just arrived from home:

"I have already asked my family to write to me at any time to tell me about the situation in Jiangnan. Please listen carefully. I am sure that my son will mention the situation of the grain and gold and silver paid by the villagers in the letter."

"Sincerely, father."

"Since Scholar Jia arrived in Nanzhi, he wanted to buy three million pieces of cotton cloth, so all the families competed to sell it. The Mao family relied on their head being the Shangshu and became even more arrogant. They beat three of our family members to death. The clan members all hoped that my father would make a decision for us and report the Mao family's crimes to the court!"

As Zhu Xizhou read on, he felt something was wrong.
