[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Emperor Chengsheng blamed him, but all the ministers dared not say it.

But this time the rumors had a huge impact. Most of the ministers were people who did not know the inside story. Even though the rumors spread from the market, everything happened too fast and too fast after New Year's Eve, so I didn't react at that time , Later, when everyone recalled it, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts.

Although the source of those rumors in the market is unknown, let alone who spread them, they fit the thoughts of the ministers. These people may have selfish intentions or pursuits, or they are really worried about the country's monarchy, so they all voiced impeachment Lin Jian.

Being accused of disrespecting the holy will by Emperor Chengsheng, most of the ministers who had selfishness or pursuit were a little bit silent and dared not speak, but those ministers whose hearts were to speak out for the country and the country were fearless. He was determined to use his own persuasion to reveal Lin Jian's true face for Emperor Chengsheng.

A minister spoke again, saying that the impeachment was not to question Emperor Chengsheng's decision, but because he was afraid that Emperor Chengsheng would be deceived by Lin Jian's cunning.

The minister said: "I really don't want to see the Holy Majesty being deceived by such scheming people. Not only the Holy Majesty, I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince was also deceived by Lin Jian's tricks."

The minister was heartbroken and said: "Lin Jian has been trying to build a good relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince all these years, in order to gain the trust of His Highness the Crown Prince. It made His Highness mistakenly think that Lin Jian was dedicated to Da Zhou, and made the Holy Majesty believe in his loyalty. He Then he secretly used the trust of His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince in him to eliminate dissidents, and lured out the First Prince and all the families who did not communicate with the Lin family, and let them make trouble on New Year's Eve. Then let His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince think that he It is to promote his official position for the sake of eliminating harm for the country."

"But in fact, he did all this for his own ambition! He also wanted to be a powerful general like his father, so that everyone in the court would be under his control!"

According to the minister's words, Lin Jian became a vicious villain who wanted to seek power and position, and even wanted to steal the country.In his description, Lin Jian deceived others, Prince Rui's troubles were caused by his malicious seduction and manipulation, Emperor Chengsheng and Xiao Yu, the new crown prince, were even more in his hands.

This impeachment is extremely level.

Not only did Emperor Chengsheng be taken out, but even Xiao Yu's business was gone.They were all deceived by Lin Jian. Lin Jian was full of scheming and became the one with the most ulterior motives.And these people in the royal family are all victims, even the deposed Prince Rui and those families who were dealt with are also people who have been wronged.

This kind of skill of turning right and wrong into black and white is really powerful.

Lin Jian felt that the minister's words were good, and these words gave Emperor Chengsheng a step down.In order to quell the rumors in the market and the dissatisfaction and resentment of the officials in the court, as long as Emperor Chengsheng disposes of Lin Jian, that is to 'reform evil and return to righteousness', that is, to return to the sage after being deceived.

Emperor Chengsheng was clearly charged with the crime, but what about these people?But it's more poisonous.

As soon as the minister finished speaking, it seemed that he also gave confidence to the other ministers who impeached Lin Jian. They once again felt that they were justified, and they did not need to take into account Emperor Chengsheng's blame. After all, their impeachment was just for the deceived Emperor Chengsheng and The newly promoted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is 'speaking'.

Emperor Chengsheng was still angry when he heard those words before, but he laughed angrily at these words when he got here.

He raised his chin, looked at Lin Jian, and called out his names: "Lin Qing, they said that you have ulterior motives and deep scheming, and that even I was deceived by you. I will give you a chance, and you can argue for yourself."

Lin Jian cupped his hands and saluted: "I obey the order."

Public impeachment of fellow ministers at the court meeting does not necessarily have to be based on real evidence.Sometimes mere speculation can still make a sound.

Especially with the rumors that are raging all over the city like now, according to the rules, the supervisory censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are qualified to ask.

However, there were many people attending the court meeting, and nearly a hundred civil and military officials stood in the court hall. Such impeachment could easily turn into a quarrel.

Don't say that ministers of a country won't quarrel.From the king down to the common people, if there is disagreement, there will be disputes.Naturally, the ministers' quarrels are not as violent and direct as those in the market place, but the ministers quarrel and say one thing, which is actually more vicious than the market place.

His words can often kill people invisibly.

Just like what the minister said just now.

If a person who is impeached does not have the Sacred Heart, he will naturally have no chance to distinguish himself. Even if his colleagues are willing to speak for him, the emperor will not listen to him.As a result, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and other yamen for verification and trial, and then to see if he is innocent.

For Jian Zaidi, the emperor favored the person, even if no colleagues were willing to stand up for him, the emperor was willing to give him a chance to distinguish in court, and would not easily hand it over to the Yamen for verification and trial.

To put it bluntly, even if a person who is protected by the emperor wants to quarrel, this fight can also be quarreled in front of the emperor.No matter how sharp and fierce your words are, the emperor is willing to sit there quietly and listen.

These people/impeached Lin Jian this time, but Lin Jian has done a lot of practical things in the past six months. There are also ministers who have good friends with the Lin family in the court. It is this time that they are involved in such a serious crime. What is the crime of deceiving the crown prince? , this is speculation after all, it's the rumors outside, it's not like the previous ones are Lin Jian himself who went out of his way.

Under such circumstances, someone wanted to speak for Lin Jian.

If Emperor Chengsheng didn't accuse Lin Jian of defending himself, Ying Tianyi and the others were already prepared to defend Lin Jian.

Lin Jian stood up. With these thoughts in his mind, he also noticed that several people showed signs of standing up before he moved, and they probably wanted to speak for him.

Lin Jian raised his eyes to look at Emperor Chengsheng, and Emperor Chengsheng looked at him gently. At the moment when the monarch and his ministers looked at each other, Lin Jian pursed his lips lightly. He knew what Emperor Chengsheng wanted him to say.

"Master Qin said that I have ulterior motives, and I have been planning for years to deceive the Holy Majesty and His Royal Highness, and I want to use them to eliminate dissidents, so as to achieve my ulterior selfish purpose. I just stood here and listened. That's what I mean, I, the former imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, seems to be able to see through the sky, playing with the emperor, prince, and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no one can see through my dirty thoughts , it wasn't until rumors about me spread in the city that you suddenly realized that I was such a person. So, you all stood up at this time, shouting that I am a heinous bastard, and want the Holy One to deal with me .”

Lin Jian looked around with a smile that was not a smile, and the next thing he said was not polite, "My lords present, some of you have a lower rank than me, and some of you have a higher rank than me. I was just a young man in the Lin family before. It took two years to go to southern Anhui to join the army before becoming a general of the Pioneer Battalion, and he was also dismissed from his post. Later, he became the censor of the capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was only a fourth-rank official. Gao, there are many people with high titles, and there are many people who can hold me down. If you say that I/manipulate the layout, doesn’t that mean that you are all dead? Could it be that it’s been more than half a year, and you haven’t found out yet? I have ulterior motives and bad intentions? Did you realize that there is something wrong with me after rumors broke out?"

Lin Jian reached out and tapped the tip of his nose, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "The more you say I have a problem, the more you prove your own incompetence."

When Lin Jian said this, the faces of those who said it turned pale and pale.

After hearing this, Emperor Chengsheng's eyebrows loosened, obviously wanting to laugh, but thinking that this was in the court hall, and relying on the cover of the crown, his eyebrows relaxed, and he finally suppressed the smile.

Those few ministers were old and quite experienced, so they couldn't hold back their face when a young junior like Lin Jian pointed at his nose and accused him so mercilessly. They were angrily trying to refute Lin Jian's words, but Lin Jian They were not given such an opportunity.

Before they could speak, Lin Jian said solemnly again: "At the end of last year, the Holy Majesty consulted the officials for the establishment of the crown prince. At that time, most of the courtiers in the palace supported the eldest prince as the crown prince, and I alone supported the ninth prince as the crown prince. If Your Majesty was really deceived by me, why didn't you accept my opinion in court and directly make the Ninth Prince the crown prince?"

"If I really planned to manipulate the Holy Majesty and the Ninth Prince, why didn't I make any moves afterwards? Instead, the First Prince made frequent moves?"

Lin Jian opened the skylight with them to speak frankly, "You know very well in your hearts that among the princes, the Holy One values ​​and prefers the Ninth Prince the most. The Holy Majesty wants to make the Ninth Prince the crown prince, but you want to make the ninth prince the crown prince, but you want to make the ninth prince the crown prince. The Holy Majesty appointed the Eldest Prince as the Crown Prince, but in the end, in desperation, the Holy Majesty decided not to appoint the Crown Prince, but instead appointed all the princes as Princes, and the appointment of the Crown Prince will be postponed later."

"You say that I want to manipulate the Holy Will, but in this matter, you ask yourself, am I the one who wants to coerce the Holy Will?"

"The eldest prince aspires to the position of prince. No matter who is appointed as prince, he will not be willing to be inferior to others. He is determined to win the position of prince. Was it me who lured him into his evil intentions? If you make him prince, you will be satisfied." Ruyi, the Holy Majesty is unwilling, if someone else is appointed as the crown prince, no matter who the eldest prince is, he will snatch the position of crown prince from that person, can this accident be led by me/manipulation?"

"The eldest prince is not greedy enough, and now he has been punished, but you are attacking one after another based on rumors, but you don't know that you are being used by the traitor to stand up for the eldest prince. You have such speculations, it is nothing but ignorance of the inside story of this incident. But if you Knowing everything, but still attacking and misunderstood me like this, and believing that I am behind the scenes, there are only two explanations. One is that you are stupid, and the other is that you were instructed by others to deliberately target me."

Lin Jian's words made some sense, all the officials fell silent, Lord Qin and the others lowered their eyes in deep thought.

Seeing that Lin Jianguo had controlled the situation, Emperor Chengsheng raised his hand to signal Lin Jian not to say more. He straightened his eyebrows, and when he was about to let the matter go, he saw the man who should have stood back. Lin Jian suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to him solemnly.

Emperor Chengsheng frowned, and before Lin Jian could speak, he immediately had a premonition that something was about to slip out of his control.
