Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Chapter 288 Cabinet Ministers

Gao Mingfei's guilty statement made all the officials turn pale with shock. They stared at Gao Mingfei who was kneeling and pleading guilty for a while, and then glanced vaguely at the aged Gao Yi Shangshu who was specially given to sit.

Gao Yi still squinted his eyes and tried to sleep, as if he didn't hear his son's cry of guilt.Baiguan was worried, wondering what kind of drama this family was playing?

The smile on Emperor Zhenyuan's face gradually faded, and Gao Mingfei kowtowed several times before he said, "Why did Aiqing say that?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I was entrusted by Your Majesty to clean up Liangzhou's officials. Just one month ago, I discovered a horrific crime. I...afraid of taking responsibility and risking my life, so I was timid. Being an accomplice of the criminal who concealed his crimes, and not revealing his crimes to His Majesty, I am ashamed of Your Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to give you death penalty!"

Gao Mingfei's words confuse all the officials, and only one person in the court heard this sentence with a strange look in his lowered eyes.

"What crime? Who committed the crime? To put Ai Qing's life in danger, I would like to hear who it is who has the ability to murder the first-rank state shepherd whom I appointed."

"Your Majesty..." Gao Mingfei's eyes hesitated, and finally he took out a thick memorial from his arms: "Your Majesty, I wrote the memorial last night, but I still didn't dare to submit it before the morning court." Your Majesty. I am so ashamed to be praised by Your Majesty, and I can no longer hide it. This matter is of great importance, Your Majesty, please listen to me and explain the reasons in detail."

"But it's okay, even if it involves the royal family, I will also give Ai Qing a promise, as long as you are not guilty of the crime, I will forgive you for not guilty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

Hearing this, all the hesitation in Gao Mingfei's eyes faded away, revealing a determined expression, he glanced at the first-rank cabinet ministers standing in front of him from the corner of his eye, and his heart sank: Gao Mingfei, the visitor is not kind.

Gao Mingfei raised his voice and said: "Since I took over the post of Liangzhou State Shepherd, Liangzhou officials have been in a mess due to the improper conduct of the former State Shepherd Xie Yonglin. I have no way to clean up this turbid flow, so other things have been neglected. Until two months ago, a fur merchant surnamed Zhou was captured for smuggling horses. During the interrogation, in order to atone for his crimes, he confessed and identified his former state shepherd Xie Yonglin. Treason in vain!"

what? !

All the officials were terrified and all lowered their heads.Although those who were present may not have any old feelings with Xie Yonglin, but they could not help but praise Xie Yonglin in public in the past and he was the Emperor's trusted minister at that time, and they all kept silent at this time.

The crime of treason is a serious crime that will be implicated even if it is touched, so they all kept silent.Smart people will also feel sorry for it at this time. Why did Xie Yonglin's virtuous deeds not cultivate his birth mother's insulting words, and he was thrown into the eighteenth level of hell as a scholar, and he set up a stone of repentance to be cast aside by thousands of people, His Majesty the Emperor. Heavy punishment, it is clear that Xie Yonglin is treasonous.Perhaps no real evidence was found at that time, so Xie Yonglin's real crimes were not announced to the world.

But no matter what, Xie Yonglin had already committed suicide in fear of crime and all his families died. Why did Gao Mingfei bring up the old story again?Even if he has found real evidence now, it is just to add stigma to Xie Yonglin. Everyone is dead, so what else can he do?After Xie Yonglin was a criminal from Jiaozhou, even if he wanted to implicate the Jiuzu, he couldn't find anyone to implicate him.

But even these smart ministers did not expect that Gao Mingfei's crime of colluding with the Huns for treason was just an introduction, and what was really shocking was his later words!

"Xie Yonglin's crimes really chilled me, but Xie Yonglin's nine clans have already been extinct. Even if the old story is revealed again, it will only make my Dajing officials lose face, and it will in vain provoke criticism from all over the world. Inform His Majesty of this matter and ask His Majesty to make a ruling. But before the minister's secret document was written, another incident broke out at the fur dealer. He said—" Gao Mingfei straightened his back, and said: "Xie Yonglin still has an accomplice! And he His accomplice is in the Gyeonggi cabinet!"

"nonsense!"

In the quiet and silent hall, the only person who yelled loudly was Gao Mingfei's biological father who suddenly opened his eyes, Gao Yi Gao Shangshu!

"How dare Zhuzi utter wild words! Why don't you plead guilty to His Majesty!"

Gao Yi's voice was sharp and hasty, apparently he did not expect his son to say such shocking words.Baiguan's heartbeat almost jumped out of his voice - Gao Yi didn't even know Gao Mingfei did what he did today, so how dare Gao Mingfei do it?Is he crazy, or is he ordered by someone? !

Gao Mingfei bit the bullet and said: "Gao Shangshu, Your Majesty's holy face is here, how dare I speak nonsense? Please don't disturb the court, let me finish my sentence."

"Nie Zi, you—"

"Aiqing." Emperor Zhenyuan interrupted Gao Shangshu indifferently, "Sit down and let him finish."

Gao Yi confessed to the emperor in fear, and sat down tremblingly, leaning on the arm of the chair.He looked at Gao Mingfei sternly, but his son did not hesitate at all because of this. Instead, he kowtowed and continued: "If there is no real and reliable evidence, how dare I speak about the cabinet? My minister was at that time Hearing the furrier's words, he also thought it was sensational, and it was more likely to be a tactic of alienation by the Huns' foreign enemies, so he concealed the news of Xie Yonglin's treason, so as not to fall into the enemy's trap. Check, after a whole month of checking, a tunnel was dug in the burnt-out state pastoral mansion where Xie Yonglin lived, and Xie Yonglin's own handwriting was found in the hidden compartment of the underground secret room!"

He raised the memorial that he was holding in both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, here is Xie Yonglin's handwriting. I have carefully checked it, and there is absolutely no falsehood. Please read it, His Majesty the Emperor."

Eunuch Dongsheng clenched his palms tightly. Obviously, he hadn't gotten the slightest word about this matter, so his feet were almost weak at this moment. He looked at the profile of His Majesty the Emperor, and walked down the golden throne with support, and presented Gao Mingfei as a confessor. The memorial was brought up and handed to the emperor.

But the emperor didn't answer, he said in a deep voice: "I believe that Ai Qing won't just talk nonsense, so just tell me who Xie Yonglin wrote these letters to? Who is his accomplice?"

Gao Mingfei's face tightened, he put his hands on the ground, kowtowed, and nodded his head to the ground, his voice trembling and he shouted at the loudest volume with all his strength: "Return to Your Majesty! There is not only one person in the letter! Every minister will remember it in his heart for a moment." Don't dare to forget. They..." Gao Mingfei took a deep breath, and one name after another jumped out of his mouth!

——"Shangshu Sheng's right minister Gao Yuanzheng! Zhongshu Sheng, the late former Zhongshu Ling Jia Huai'en! Zuo Zhongshu's servant Lang Qi! Men Xia Sheng, Men Xia Si Cheng Feng Duxin! Official Department Chief Dai Xianhe! Household Department Left Minister He Xianyi! Secretary of the Ministry of Households Xie Xuanming! Left Minister of the Ministry of War Fang Bo! Former Shangshu Li Dashen of the Ministry of Punishment! Qian Zhenlin, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishments! So Ningzhou Prefecture Muruan Qifeng! Now Yuzhou Prefecture Muyun Road!"

A total of fifteen names, except for the late three people and Li Dashen who has resigned, all of them are third-rank ministers above the early court. Zhenlin was next to Gao Mingfei's right hand, and when he mentioned it, he was furious and wanted to kick him away. Of course, he failed, and he couldn't stop Gao Mingfei from reading.

The Imperial Forest Army has already stepped forward neatly and blocked the inside and outside of the Jinluan Hall. Qian Zhenlin, who was trying to do something wrong just now, was caught on the spot by the Imperial Forest Army and pinned to the ground.

All the officials knelt down one after another, wishing they could bury themselves in the cracks in the ground.

"Your Majesty! The minister is wronged! The minister is wronged!"

Yu Shitai Lin Liao scrambled out of the line, knelt in the middle and said: "Your Majesty! Gao Mingfei framed the old minister without evidence and grounds, please Your Majesty to be the master of the old minister! The old minister has never had any personal relationship with Xie Yonglin, not even face to face. I have seen it! Your Majesty, please be careful and give justice to the old minister. Otherwise, the old minister would rather admonish the court with blood and ask God to rectify his name! The minister has no different intentions, and he has nothing to do with the rebellious minister Xie Yonglin. This matter is absolutely true! Please make the decision for the old minister. !"

After all, Lin Xun is the imperial censor, and he is not unfamiliar with this scene. In the past, he was the one who denounced others at the court, and he never thought that one day he would retaliate.But his mind was working, and he immediately thought of the most beneficial method for him, that is to remonstrate.His status is special, Yu Shiben has this honor, if he really died, maybe this matter will be treated as a farce.

But it's a pity that his words were convincing, but he didn't make up his mind to die. If he ran into the golden pillar of the court after going out to appeal for grievances, no matter whether he himself was dead or alive, it would be enough to reverse the current situation in the early court, but he I still don't want to take this move.

Because he has too much confidence.

He never had any contact with Xie Yonglin at all!

This is absolutely true, Xie Yonglin's bullshit manuscript must be fabricated!He was very confident about this, so he decided that as long as the emperor went to investigate, he would be able to find out that Gao Mingfei had made a false accusation, and give him and his colleagues justice.

Zhen Feihe, who was also kneeling on the ground, felt infinitely cool in his heart... Lin Xun did not remonstrate, they had their last chance to turn around, just like that...missed.

Lin Shi still didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and he burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me! The old minister Meng Xiandi will not abandon him. He is a successor. For 36 years, he has worked hard for the late Emperor and His Majesty. He has never dared to be negligent. Your Majesty trusts the old minister!" The old minister and Xie Yonglin have nothing to do with each other, this is completely brilliant and non-bloody! Your majesty is a lesson! Please make the decision for the old minister!"

The emperor just received Xie Yonglin's surgery presented by Gao Mingfei from the eunuch Dongsheng, opened one letter after another, and read it slowly, as if he was looking at a letter of greeting from a certain clan relative.

Seeing that His Majesty did not answer his words at all, Lin Shi rolled his eyes, and immediately climbed up a few steps, turned his head and confronted Gao Mingfei, saying, "Gao Mingfei! Well, you are a wolf with ambition! Tell me, what benefits did the Xiongnu give you! Let you frame my Dajing ministers like this! It will cause turmoil in the court!"
