Chapter 6 Death Remonstrance

Fan An wandered back to Shangshu Mansion, his personal maid named Yuanzhu, Fan An was covered in sweat, washed his body early, called her over, and asked her if the two young masters were serious about reading and writing today.Yuanzhu said that the two young sons of the lord are very intelligent and obedient, and they were praised by the teacher today.

Fan An felt that this sounded a little flattering, but he only smiled.He took a breath, and asked Yuanzhu as if thinking of something: "Do you know someone named Master Li? He only looks in his early twenties..." He wanted to say that his appearance was extremely handsome, but he was afraid that his words would appear to be too obvious. Frivolous, he said with an uh, "It's quite interesting."

"There are many 'Master Li' in this imperial court. I don't know who you are asking?" Yuanzhu thought for a while, and said, "Could it be Li Changchuan, the minister of the cabinet, Mr. Li? This person is very famous in the court, and he is indeed very famous." 'mean'."

"Li Changchuan? I just met him in Yuhuayuan, so I didn't ask in a hurry." Fan An smiled and asked enthusiastically, "Why is he so famous? "

Yuanzhu said: "I just heard from others that this man entered the cabinet in his early twenties and became a minister. He dared to say what others dared not say, and he dared to do what others dared not to do. Everyone said that the gun hits the first bird, the sharp edge Guo Lu, this official will not last long, but this man has been a servant for three years, but he has never had any accidents."

Fan An asked: "What else?" Yuan Zhu pondered, she was a very clever girl, she never said much, and said: "Yuan Zhu only knows this, others don't know, so it's hard to say."

Fan An didn't ask any further questions, and said that's fine, I'll just ask casually.

In fact, he simply asked the wrong person.But this is something to say later, he has already entered the Minister's Mansion and met the Holy Majesty again, it is too late to run away.Could it be that the world is the king's land, where can he go if he really takes his two sons and abandons his official position?

The last time he came out of the imperial garden, he felt in poor health.He was really sick the next day, he closed the door tightly and asked for leave for three days, but he didn't dare to rest in the house to recuperate.He sent people to the Zhoufu where Fan Pingqiu used to be, copied a copy of Fan Pingqiu's household registration files, and then ordered people to go to the Ministry of History to ask for the roster of court officials. He read it carefully every day, glanced at the words "Li Changchuan", Thinking of the scene in the imperial garden at that time, my heart floated up and down again.

His illness was frightening, and after a few days of quiet rest, he was alive and well again.He is an official worshiping the third grade, and he should make pilgrimages every day. Now that he is in good health, he needs to go to the pilgrimage on time.

Fan An went to court for the first time on the fifth day of his tenure, and his servants prepared the carriage for him early.It was still dark before arriving at Hongwu Gate.It was not yet dawn, but all the officials had arrived, and the gate of Hongwu Gate was already crowded with people.Until the beginning of the five drums, the gate opened slowly, and everyone went to the Qianbu corridor. The door was full of fire, and the pavilion was like a city.

Fan An left with the crowd, but he never saw that "Lord Li".

Straight across the Jinshui Bridge, officials below the fifth rank stop, and there are fewer people.Everyone lined up, someone noticed Fan An, and someone came up and said, "Is this the new Mr. Fan from the Ministry of Punishment?" Fan An suddenly heard someone calling him, and hurriedly lowered his head and cupped his hands, "I've seen it before."

Seeing that he was about to leave, the man hurriedly called out to him even louder. The people beside him didn't pay attention at first, but now they all turned to look.

Cold sweat broke out on Fan An's forehead again, he just smiled honestly but didn't dare to look up.At this time, a person rushed over suddenly, Fan An saw his face flushed and imposing, and subconsciously hid back, not wanting that person to come up and hold his hand.

Fan An shuddered and saw that he was wearing a purple court dress with golden unicorn flowers embroidered on the hem. Although he didn't know what it was, he knew that this person's rank must be higher than his own. The man grabbed his arm and said very earnestly; "So it's Mr. Fan, hey, why haven't you visited my house for a few days after you took office? You only said that you were sick, but are you okay? I have a doctor in my house He is a doctor with excellent medical skills, if you come over one day, I will ask him to treat you."

The man's tone was relaxed, he patted Fan An's shoulder, with a smile on his face, those who didn't know thought he knew Fan An very well.Several people gathered around and looked at the two with smiles on their faces. Fan Anzheng was puzzled when someone suddenly came up and said, "This is Mr. Liang, the chief assistant of the cabinet."

"Ah..." Fan An was flattered and hurriedly said, "Fan Pingqiu, my subordinate, I have met Mr. Liang."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw another group of people approaching from the left side of the Jinshui Bridge. Several cabinet officials turned their heads to look, the smiles on their faces immediately faded, and the noisy voices also fell silent.

This is a person from Yushitai. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is located in the southeast corner of Miyagi, and they always arrive a few moments later than the cabinet members when they enter the court every day.There were about 80 to [-] people in that team, and only a dozen or so people in the lead crossed the bridge. Fan An's eyes fluttered, and his heart sank: Isn't the leader the same Master Li whom he met in the Royal Garden a few days ago?

The man came up, wearing a crown of red clothes, purple skirt and clothes, exuding a coldness, but with a slender body and a thin waist, he looked weak and easy to bully.

Master Li did not speak.He stood still in the queue and only glanced at Fan An.

Fan An raised his head and met his eyes. The silk flowers and bamboo knots were rustling like cold water. With just one glance, Fan An's heart was drawn away.

The smile on Fan An's face flared up again. He wanted to go over and have a few words with Mr. Li, but Mr. Liang next to him held him and wouldn't let him go. Xuan Chaosheng, everyone stood in line when they heard the voice, and walked forward quietly.

Fan An thought, don't be in a hurry, wait until he retreats, and then go up to talk to him.

This official went to the court, basically there was nothing important, but today was different, it can be said that Fan An was lucky, the first time he went to the court, he saw the best side of these scholars and writers.

Fan An listened to these adults' recitals at the court, and he probably knew what these people were going to say today: the current Dali Temple Minister Yang Qian was accused of favoritism, corruption, and bribery in handling a major case.Being caught by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a piece of memorial was reported to the emperor, demanding that Yang Qian be dismissed from his position as Minister of Dali Temple and replaced by Xu Changyi, a good minister.

Yang Qian was called by Liang Yenian, the chief assistant of the cabinet. Hearing this, he charged the case, accusing the Metropolitan Procuratorate of framing Zhongliang and trying to mess up the government.The cabinet and Lantai have always been at odds with each other. This matter has been stalemate for more than a month, and now the two parties are almost at the point of life and death.Both sides have a backlog of anger, and they are ready to fight today.

Ever since Liu Xi proclaimed himself emperor, this kind of thing had never happened before his eyes. He had seen enough of these courtiers coming and going, and he was really bored.He knew in his heart that it was impossible for all these officials to be upright and honest. As long as they didn't go too far, they would be greedy even if they were greedy.

But this time Yang Qian let the Metropolitan Procuratorate catch the handle, and the impeachment memorial buried his case like a snowflake.Then who is Li Jianbi, once identified, he will bite like a snake's venom and will not let go. In the face of solid evidence, Liu Xi, as the emperor, cannot indulge the law.

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, but he didn't expect that today's big wave would come, and Fan An, who was puzzled by Monk Erzhang, would be splashed all over his body.

Fan An naturally had nothing to do with it, and Liu Xi saw that the court battles were getting more and more fierce, so he waved his dragon robe and said, "Retire!" There was silence.

The Holy Majesty left the dragon chair by himself, and the people below looked at each other in blank dismay.Someone suggested that we should discuss it tomorrow, and then some people retreated one after another after speaking.Fan An saw that Li Jianbi disappeared when he went out, so he hurriedly tried to catch up.I don't want Liang Yenian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, to hold him back so desperately!

Then Liang Yenian said: "Everyone can't leave! This matter must come to a conclusion today. Wait until tomorrow, the Ministry of History will issue an edict, and it will be too late to save Yang Qian!"

Fan Anxin said: "If you want to save it, save it, what are you pulling me for?"But Ran Yenian was the chief assistant of the cabinet, and his rank was orderly. Fan An really didn't dare to disobey him.

"The Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple are the most important things in the law. He, Li Jianbi, used the case of Su Ziqing to kill the Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and now he wants to go to Yang Qian and hurry up! Do you want to play with the power of the law! The country has supported scholars for 23 years, and I have declared that civil servants are really useless as scholars, so let this villain do whatever he wants!"

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Everyone follow me to the Jinshen Hall to invite Yang Qian! If the Holy Majesty does not agree, he will be admonished with death!"

Fan An shuddered, thinking who is this person, he really dares to say anything.

But Baiguan seemed to be encouraged by these few words, so he went to the Jinshen Hall.Seeing this menacing appearance, the eunuch in the palace hurriedly reported to the emperor.

Fan An was dragged to the front of the Jinshen Hall, and the crowd lifted their robes and knelt down, crying loudly.There were at least 80 to [-] people kneeling this time, and the crying was so loud that Liu Xi's ears would be burst from crying after passing through Jiuxiao.

Sure enough, in just a moment, a eunuch came down to deliver the decree: The Holy Majesty has checked everyone's minds, and Yang Qianxun will handle the private case according to the circumstances.You should go back first.Fan An thought: Isn't the emperor talking nonsense?At this time, someone was tired of crying and said: "Everyone should retreat, I think the emperor will deal with it lightly." As soon as the voice fell, Ran Yenian scolded: "No! If the emperor does not make an order today, everyone will be punished." Can't go, so give up halfway, what kind of official festival is there! This matter is not only about Yang Qian's life, let the Wutai gang continue to be domineering, and when you fall into the hands of the villain of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how can someone be willing to do so? Please cry out for your grievance today!"

Everyone stopped when they heard the words, and they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.Fan An knew that this matter was not child's play, and if he angered the inner sage, it would be a disaster of death.He yelled loudly, and said: "I suddenly remembered that I have something important to deal with at home. I will go ahead and come back and follow everyone to invite me!" door run.

At this time, a person came up from behind, blocked Fan An with a few steps, and said: "Who dares not invite you today! We will kill him!"

Fan An twitched, thinking that this was Chi Guoguo's robbery!It is not easy for everyone to be an official. If you say you want to be killed, you will be killed. Is there any law for the king!The man stared at Fan An viciously, and said, "I, Li Changchuan, will take care of whatever happens! What regrets are there!"

Fan An's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that you are Li Changchuan, you really dare to say anything, dare to do anything, and nothing happened so far, probably because you are supported by the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Only then did he realize that Li Jianbi, who had been scolded by everyone for so long, was the "Lord Li" he was thinking of.

Fan An really wanted to bump his head to death, he admired that person before it was too late, why was Liang Yenian dragged him over in a daze, knelt here and did it against Li Jianbi?
