Wanli Youming

Chapter 117

Chapter 117

Gao Gong didn't answer Liu Yu's question, but instead questioned Liu Yu: "I have already been punished for this matter, and thanks to your benevolence, generosity and respect for the old officials, I am grateful for the fact that I have been appointed as an official of the Three Dukes and entered the cabinet. I can only do my best to die, and do my best for the king! But, why did you bring this up again?"

As Gao Gong spoke, he asked Liu Yan: "Do you want to force the old man to hang himself to apologize?!"

Liu Yan didn't expect Gao Gong to blame himself for being troublesome.

"Liu Aiqing, why is there nothing in your letter? It's just a piece of paper!"

When Zhu Yijun saw Gao Gong asking Liu Yu this way, he also asked Liu Yu.

After hearing this, Liu Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, how can this be a dead letter."

"This is a dead letter!"

As Zhu Yijun spoke, he slapped heavily on the criminal evidence on the case.

"This……"

Liu Zhen was dumbfounded.

The emperor was so domineering, he couldn't say anything.

"Humph!"

Zhu Yijun then stood up and questioned Liu Yan: "You didn't say anything about destroying the sutra feast, but you also falsely accused my husband and the general of Bianzhen, and maliciously provoked the old grievances between the Tai Tuo and my husband. Are you deceiving me as a fool?! "

"Sir, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

At this time Zhu Yijun asked about Zhang Juzheng.

And Zhang Juzheng, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help showing joy when Zhu Yijun asked why the incriminating evidence presented by Liu Yu was just a piece of paper.

He is willing to see the emperor use domineering techniques in the middle.

At this time, Zhu Yijun asked him, and he stood up cooperatively.

But just as Zhang Juzheng was about to speak, Liu Yan rushed over, knelt in front of Zhang Juzheng, hugged Zhang Juzheng's feet, and cried:

"Master, the student is wrong!"

"Students shouldn't treat you like this. I beg you to be merciful and spare the student's life. The student promises not to dare to do this again!"

"Master, the student admits that the student is still not as good as you!"

"Really, the student is completely convinced this time!"

"I really don't dare to have second thoughts about you anymore! Woohoo!"

Zhang Juzheng directly pulled his foot into Liu Zhen's arms: "Liu Zanshan, what crazy words are you talking about, you are a courtier of Daming, not a servant's servant!"

Liu Yan grabbed Zhang Juzheng's feet desperately: "Master, please forgive me! Students really don't dare anymore, woohoo!"

"Jinyiwei!"

Zhu Yijun gave an order at this time.

The two generals of the Han Dynasty came out to listen to the order.

Zhu Yijun then ordered: "Pull the people away! Above the sutra banquet, how decent is it to behave like this!"

"Yes!"

The two generals of the Han Dynasty forcibly pulled Liu Yu out, and held him in place.

The rescued Zhang Juzheng had the opportunity to report at this time: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the lecturer Liu Zanshan is now in the Jinyi Guard Prison, and then the three justices can have a joint trial."

"Prelude!"

Zhu Yijun replied, and said: "Send Liu Yu to Jinyi Prison first! In addition, no one should mention Gao Taifu's mistakes in the past, and anyone who mentions them will be dealt with strictly!"

All the ministers hurriedly said that they obeyed the order, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The civil servants who can appear at the Jingyan are basically Zhang Juzheng's cronies, and they don't want Zhang Juzheng to fall.

These people also hope that Zhang Juzheng will not really dismantle his basic system when he cleans up, and he will not even implement the New Deal, or even maintain the Jingyan.

Some lecturers who cared a lot about Jingyan, even at this moment, cast a disgusted look at Liu Yan.

Because Liu Yu destroyed the Jingyan system and set a precedent for playing other things at the Jingyan, it would easily make the emperor hate the Jingyan, and it also affected other lecturers to show their knowledge in front of the emperor.

Of course, there are also people who don't agree with Zhang Juzheng's appearance, but this kind of people are even more difficult to say anything at this time.

Therefore, none of the civil servants present came out to intercede for Liu Yan, and they all sat back and watched Jin Yiwei drag him down.

When Liu Yan was dragged down by Jin Yiwei, he was still struggling to die, and suddenly cursed at Gao Gong:

"Gao Gong! Why are you greedy for life and afraid of death? Where did your old temperament go?!"

"Or, you have already colluded with Zhang Juzheng. Are you worthy of His Majesty like this?!"

"You shameless person, what kind of old minister are you, but a treacherous and cunning minister!"

Liu Yan scolded Gao Gong, and seeing that Gao Gong had remained indifferent, he simply yelled at Zhu Yijun:

"Your Majesty! Although Zhang Juzheng is in power, even Gao Gong is afraid of him. You don't have to be afraid of him. You even want to deny the existence of Zhang Juzheng's criminal evidence!"

"Your Majesty, the world hasn't reached the time when Zhang Juzheng can change the world!"

"Your Majesty, there are still many people loyal to you in the world. Please don't be afraid of him, Zhang Juzheng, and give him an iron fist!"

"Your Majesty, in the past, you could dismiss Zhang Juzheng with one imperial edict, and you can also dismiss Zhang Juzheng with one imperial edict today!"

"Your Majesty, why should you be afraid? Let yourself be called a coward!"

Liu Yan didn't know much about Zhu Yijun yet.

It can also be said that for so many years, from the first year of Wanli to the current sixth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun's good performance in the Jingyan and lectures and readings has still deceived Liu Yan and other civil officials.

It made him still feel that Zhu Yijun forcibly determined that the evidence he provided was a dead letter, because he was afraid of Zhang Juzheng and dared not touch Zhang Juzheng.

Therefore, Liu Yan is still persuading Zhu Yijun not to be afraid of Zhang Juzheng.

Zhu Yijun ignored Liu Yan, and only ordered: "Continue with the feast."

However, for the next Jing Yan, no matter the monarch or his subjects, they were a little absent-minded, and their minds were all on whether Liu Yu would confess more people, and when the clean-up would end.

In fact, most of the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty just wanted to continue to be officials for a long time, and did not want to clean up the family. It really turned into disintegration, and then it turned into a big purge.

Even if it is politics, it is better to be kind, not to others, and not to knock anyone down.

Therefore, Wang Guoguang said to Zhang Juzheng after the banquet was over: "Yuan Fu, can this matter end with Liu Yan, Qin Yao, and Li Cai?"

Hearing what Wang Guoguang said, Zhang Siwei also looked at Zhang Juzheng.

"Do you think the servant doesn't want to end, it's just that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

And Zhang Juzheng was in the courtyard of Yishen House not long after he said that night.

A cabinet minister said to Zhu Nanyong: "Tell Mr. Xu, let's end, Zhang Jiangling is too powerful!"

"Now it seems that Gao Gong is not targeting him this time, it is very likely that Gao Gong, who he deliberately allyed with, came up with such a trick to clean up the family!"

"There is a reason why this person was able to deceive Mr. Xu back then."

"Yes!"

Zhu Nanyong responded, and said, "It's just a pity that Bai has been in business for so long."

"It's a pity, if Zhang Juzheng didn't clean up the house early, he would be able to overthrow him in the future!"

"After all, even You Qi was bought by us."

This old saying goes.

After hearing this, Zhu Nanyong asked: "It's just that the lower officials don't understand, why didn't the evidence in Liu Zhen's hand this time force His Majesty to turn his back?"

"Because we all despise the emperor!"

"I don't know what Zhang Jiangling has taught him. The Son of Heaven would rather practice domineering tactics than be easily used as a pawn!"

"Fortunately, he is very afraid of Zhang Juzheng, which shows that his temper is cowardly, and if he wants to rebel in the future, maybe there will be some dragging."

This old saying goes.

Zhu Nanyong said with a smile: "The son of heaven should not be too smart, but cowardly. If the son of heaven can occupy it, it is considered good."

"You're right!"

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yijun was tearing off the names of Liu Yan and others from the screen, when Zhang Jing walked in: "My lord?"

"Is there any new situation in the prison?"

Seeing Zhang Jing coming, Zhu Yijun asked.

"Yes!"

"Shortly after Liu Yu was sent to the Imperial Prison, he committed suicide by taking medicine while taking advantage of his unpreparedness."

Zhang Jing replied.

Zhu Yijun was taken aback after hearing this: "Didn't you search him before you arrested him?"

"We searched, and the Jin Yiwei who was in charge of searching for him also committed suicide!"

Zhang Jing replied.

Zhu Yijun: "Who are they protecting?"

"It must be those people in the south."

"According to the confessions made by Qin Yao and Li Cai, their club was organized by Liu Zhen, and what they did was also arranged by Liu Zhen, and the money they collected also came from Liu Zhen's hands. They don't know who they are, they only know that what Liu Yan said about him is what the entire Jiangnan rich family meant."

Zhang Jing replied.

"Mr. Xuanzhang!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun gave an order.
