Cabinet value room.
Cheng Minzheng took two days of leave because he didn’t know how to face Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, but he couldn’t hide the news and could only tell Li Dongyang. Relayed to Liu Jian by Li Dongyang.
"The Supreme Court has proposed that Yu Qiao be punished with death. If any yamen in the court make such a conclusion, I am afraid that Yu Qiao will be in trouble." Li Dongyang also had a worried look on his face when he conveyed the news.
Liu Jian was originally calm and composed, but when he heard this, his arms couldn't help but relax, as if he couldn't hold anything firmly.
For him, this "death" argument was somewhat unacceptable.
Li Dongyang said, "When an official is discussing matters, he actually wants to discuss the death penalty. I don't know what the person who is attending the meeting wants to do to cause trouble in the court."
Liu Jian is still No words.
"Do you think we should do anything else?" Li Dongyang was obviously worried and asked for instructions, "If we don't say hello again and someone has to cater to his wishes, I'm afraid it won't be fair to Qiao."
Liu Jiandao: "After all this time, is there any point in waiting for me to say anything? If His Majesty has no such intention at all, the listener will be wrong."
"This means that His Majesty also has intention."< /p>
Li Dongyang became nervous.
After all, Xie Qian is the actual teacher of the emperor. If the emperor doesn't even show any mercy and directly wants to kill his husband, then he really has no mercy.
"You can't go." Liu Jiandao, "Go to Lin Hengda. It might be useful for him to come forward at this time. But you must not let anyone know that this matter has anything to do with you. You are not allowed to go there either. Knowing this depends on whether you can stabilize people's hearts."
Li Dongyang originally thought that Liu Jian was lying down, but after hearing this, he realized that Liu Jian would not give up on Xie Qian. of.
He originally wanted to say that it didn't make much sense to find anyone now. The only person who might be able to help Xie Qian was Zhang Zhou, but he held back the words.
Do your best and obey destiny.
Lin Han originally thought that Xie Qian's matter had nothing to do with him, so he ignored it from the beginning.
It wasn’t until the emperor asked people from each yamen to discuss and convict Xie Qian that Lin Han knew that this matter had something to do with him. But as Cheng Minzheng had thought before, many people in the six departments were related to Xie Qian. Xie Qian was inextricably connected and would not kill them all, so from the beginning, Lin Han just thought that letting Xie Qian return to his hometown as an official was the best outcome.
Even if there are additional charges, it is just spending money to redeem the prison sentence. This is also a very common situation among Ming officials who committed crimes.
It wasn't until Li Dongyang came to find someone that he knew that there might be a bigger involvement behind this matter, which could not even be solved by ordinary exile or imprisonment. Lin Han was also considered cunning, and the choices he and Cheng Minzheng made The same is true of saying that the illness cannot be cured.
I don’t care what your huge waves have to do with me, Mr. Lin. Why should I come out to Xie Yuqiao’s event
Besides, who should I go to?
Find Zhang Bingkuan
He is not in the capital at all, so writing to him to discuss Xie Qian's plea is not true
If I go to someone else, it will not help at all. Instead, it will make people think that I am good at forming cliques for personal gain. , the emperor clearly asked the people of each yamen to discuss it themselves, I, the Minister of Rites, would jump out now, not like a clown
Lin Han was sick, and the people in the court did not know the details behind it, and thought he was Really getting sick from old age.
Many people came to visit, but no one was allowed to enter his house.
However, he could not refuse some people who came to visit him. His daughter Lin Yi, after learning that her father was ill, hurriedly returned home with gifts, but was not found until she returned home. Mrs. Ruan told her that her father was walking the birds in the yard. When she went to the backyard to visit, she saw the old man teasing his young son with a very energetic look and did not look sick at all.
"Father"
Lin Yi was also surprised.
I have heard of people pretending to be sick, but she has always felt that her father is a gentleman. How could he do such shameful things as an official in the government?
Lin Han felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his daughter. Unable to lose face, he quickly asked the wet nurse on the side to take the child away, and then he picked up the birdcage and wanted to go back to the house to hide in peace.
"Why are you back? Bingkuan is not in Beijing, and you are still running around. You don't know how to be a father and teach your daughter." Lin Han wanted to teach his daughter a lesson with a straight face.
Lin Yi stepped forward to help, but Lin Han raised his hand to stop him.
Lin Yi said, "Father, why are you doing this?"
Lin Han waved his hand and said, "If you don't understand, don't ask. Do you think that being an official in the government is such a simple matter?" Kuan himself often talks about being sick, but in fact he just wanted to hide for a while and even His Majesty allowed me to take leave. Why should I explain it to you?"
"My daughter did not mean this." Lin Yi stepped forward, put away the teapots, cups and other things on the table, and said, "I heard that my father was sick and my daughter was worried about it, so I quickly mentioned it to the madam, and the madam specifically allowed my daughter to come back to visit. The master also said before leaving He said, "I don't mind going back to my parents' house to see her. I also said that I must fulfill my filial piety during the holidays."
Lin Han was surprised when he heard this.
Lin Han smiled and said, "Bingkuan is quite reasonable."
Lin Yi didn't know whether his father's words were good or bad, so he walked over and helped his old father sit down.
Lin Han's face looked much better now. He was a little more friendly and kind than when he saw his daughter before, with a look that kept strangers away.
Immediately, someone came over to serve tea. Lin Yi poured tea for Lin Han herself. Lin Han was also happy to have his daughter come back to honor him, so he picked up the tea and took a few sips.
"What's the problem, father?" Lin Yi said, "Brother is not here. If father has anything, you can tell his daughter."
Lin Han wanted to refuse directly, but thought of this The matter is also closely related to Zhang Zhou, and since she can’t tell Zhang Zhou, maybe she can talk to her daughter.
While hesitating, Lin Yi said again"Before the master left, he also told me that after he left, someone might make trouble for my father. At that time, I didn't understand what he meant. Now it seems that my father may be in trouble."
Lin Han said, "Bingkuan really said that."
"Yes." Lin Yi nodded firmly.
"This Bingkuan is capable of pinching and calculating, but it's right to think about it. He also knows what kind of turmoil will happen in the capital after he leaves. Yu Qiao has experienced two dynasties, no matter how you say it, He has made great contributions to the court, but it would be unreasonable if Bingkuan completely ignored him." Lin Han naturally thought that Zhang Zhou had figured out what would happen today, and wanted to use Lin Yi as an intermediary to let him convey some opinions to save Xie. move.
Lin Yi said, "Is father talking about Mr. Xie Ge?"
"Yes." Lin Han nodded and said, "What else did Bingkuan tell you?"
Lin Yi thought for a while, shook her head and said, "There is nothing else to do."
Lin Han thought about it for a moment and said, "He never mentioned any solution."
< p>Lin Yi also seemed confused and said, "My daughter did not come here under the orders of the master. The master only said that he allowed his daughter to fulfill her filial piety during the holidays. Did the father have any misunderstanding?"This gave Lin Han It won’t happen anymore.
Zhang Zhou could guess that Xie Qian would be in big trouble, and even guess that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang came to him to save Xie Qian, so why didn't they use Lin Yi to give him advice
Lin Yi asked, "What does the father have to say for his daughter to take back to her husband?"
"In front of others, you must respect Bingkuan." Lin Han seemed to dislike his daughter calling Zhang Zhou. As the "father-in-law", he attaches great importance to etiquette. No matter how partial Lin Han is to his daughter, he will not mess with the rules.
"Yes." Lin Yi lowered his head.
Lin Han said, "I would like to ask Bingkuan. He can guess everything. Wouldn't he tell me in advance? Now that Mr. Xie Ge will lose his life at any time, he is like this If he ignores it, if someone is really killed, Bingkuan's popularity in the court will be bad in the future."
Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Then the daughter was writing a letter home to the master. , by the way.”
“Farewell,” Lin Han said, “He didn’t ask you to say it, so you can’t do anything wrong. Remember, even though you are the wife of the Zhang family, you are still a member of the family. I can't do anything unruly in the Lin Mansion. As a father, I will find my own way." Just as he was talking, someone reported from outside that "Sir, Shen Yintai is outside looking for a meeting."
< p>"Why is he here?"Lin Han has met a lot of guests these days, but even if they come to visit, he can always turn them away.
But Shen Lu came and it was hard for him to refuse.
"You go in first, I have guests to see." Lin Han stood up and said, "Go back early after lunch, and I won't see you off."
"My daughter also brought some good tea," Lin Yi said.
Lin Han was interested and said with a smile, "You have a filial piety. Treat Bingkuan well."He won't have any objections to moving things to our place."
Lin Yi said, "The master never cares, but the madam asked me to bring more. ”
“Very good, very good. "Lin Han said with a satisfied look on his face, "There are tributes from the emperor in Bingkuan's house, and I also took advantage of them. I have nothing to do recently, and I can kill the boredom by making a few pots of good tea. You don't need to worry about things at home. You should know that everything is fine when you come back. It's okay for my father to bring a few bags of tea here. My father is just going to greet the guests. "
Lin Yi thought to herself, you are very good.
I have nothing to do at home, and I guess you want to give me a younger brother and sister. I am really old and young.
< p>Lin Han changed to the main hall to greet Shen Lu.He also served him good tea, but Shen Lu didn't care about it at all, or he couldn't care less.
" Lin Butang, please tell me. Your Majesty has asked all the ministers to discuss the charges against Mr. Xie Ge. How to discuss this matter? The General Affairs Department really has nothing to do here. It's up to everyone to ask how to discuss it. I just said that I want to listen to the opinions of all parties. Who can make up my mind?"
Shen Lu also came here for Xie Qian's charges.< /p>
Lin Han said, "You can argue whatever you want. Don't you even have anyone who knows how to jail?"
Shen Lu leaned over and whispered, "This matter is terrible." It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, it doesn't sound good, but if someone really catches you and refuses to let go, it's not an exaggeration to call him the death penalty. But we can also forget about it. After all, it is just a matter of discussion. After the Hongzhi Year, the middle and middle officials of the court have said wrong things every year, but I have never seen your majesty really punishing anyone severely. This time it is still the cabinet minister. In the end, your majesty also I will protect the friendship between monarch and subject."
Lin Han took the tea cup and took a sip of tea, as if tasting the difference of this tribute tea.
He said quietly, "If your Majesty Determined to discuss death"
"No way. "Shen Lu said, "Your Majesty governs the country with etiquette and music, so it should not be like this. "
"Since you know, what else do you have to ask?" Lin Han seemed to want to see the guest off.
Shen Lu leaned over and said, "But I heard a piece of news here. , Lin Butang, please don’t ask questions first, I just said, someone wants Xie Ge to die of old age. "
"Who?" Lin Han asked.
Shen Lu said, "I can't tell you even if I ask. Someone deliberately let me know that it was Xie Ge Lao who was in all likelihood this time. Ninth, you are going to be sentenced to death, and I am asked to understand the situation clearly. Otherwise, I would not come to see you in person. "
After thinking about it for a moment, Lin Han seemed to have the answer and asked, "Isn't it someone from the Shangting Department?"
"No, no, Lin Butang, don't say anything more." . "Shen Lu wiped his cold sweat.
Obviously, Lin Han was right.
Lin Han was also a little hard to understand, and said to himself, "Bingkuan is also a member of the Shangting Department. , but he is not in Beijing. Could it be that he wants to fight the cabinet minister to death? With his temperament, he will indeed act randomly, but he will not be so reckless about his future."
Shen Lu said, "I told Lin Butang I'm too worried. This matter may have nothing to do with Cai Guogong.. ”
“That’s Lu Wan. " Lin Han said, "Nowadays, the person who can listen to the opinions of the superiors is Bingkuan first, followed by Lu Wan. I don't have much friendship with this person. I only know about Yu Qiao's affairs, which are somewhat related to him. I'm afraid he will add insult to injury."
Shen Lu smiled bitterly. If he didn't say anything, it would be equivalent to acquiescence. .
Lin Han said, "Well, as I said before, someone also came to find me, but what they asked for was exactly the opposite of what you learned. "
Shen Lu asked, "Is it someone from the cabinet?"
Obviously, Lin Han would not answer this question directly.
"That's fine. " Shen Lu said, "I never thought that Mr. Xie Ge, who was eloquent and well-spoken, has now become a pawn in the game played by all parties. From what I think, Mr. Xie Ge is probably entrusted by others for this matter. Your Majesty cannot be unaware of it. If you have to check it out. In the end, it can only be to knock the mountain and shake the tiger. "
Lin Han stared at Shen Lu and said, "Then what are you going to say?"
Shen Lu lowered his head and faced Lin Han. He didn't seem to want to hide his inner thoughts and said, "Actually, listen. The opinions of the above-mentioned ministers are His Majesty’s top priority. Since His Majesty has given priority to the opinions of the above-mentioned ministers, he may have already anticipated the opinions of the above-mentioned ministers. I'm afraid if I go against it."
Lin Han nodded and said, "If you hadn't made this choice, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come to see me. ”
“Haha. ”
Shen Lu smiled bitterly.
The only one who knows me well is Lin Hengda.
If I hadn’t wanted to attach myself to Shangtingchu, Why did you kill Xie Yuqiao and come to see you today? Everyone knows that the main argument of each government office is to make Xie Qian's case a minor issue.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Lu Wan knew that the court was in trouble. There are no allies in the country, so you want to open a corner of the ice from the General Affairs Department.
"In this case, I have nothing to advise. " Lin Han said, "After all, the Ministry of Rites must take care of the friendship between ministers and officials. "
"Don't. "Shen Lu said hurriedly, "If in the end, only the General Affairs Secretary and the Shangting Department agree on the same opinion, wouldn't that mean"
"Respect yourself. "Lin Han glanced at Shen Lu with sympathy, but did not give any more opinions. End of this chapter
