After hearing Lin Xu Jie's accusations against Xu Jie, Longqing turned his head and looked at Xu Jie seriously.

He actually always hated Taoist priests. If it weren't for Tao Zhongwen's words "Two dragons don't meet each other", why would his father never see his son until his death?

Now that I saw Xu Jie protecting the Taoist priests who could not escape the blame, I couldn't help but feel suspicious, and I couldn't help but reexamine the prime minister who was indeed very close to the warlock.

Those sages were irrelevant little people after all, and those sects did commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. Even if Xu Jie wanted to protect the reputation of the emperor, he would not have to be afraid of this. Such sects were judged according to the Ming Dynasty law.

Can.

As soon as he thought about this, he couldn't help but follow Lin Qingran's thoughts and thought about whether Xu Jie and Wang Jin's Taoist priests had any shameful activities, otherwise there would be no reason to protect those Taoist priests like this.

"Lin Ruoyu, what kind of grudges do I have with you? I actually slander me so much!" Xu Jie seemed to be touched by his butt, and immediately pointed at Lin Weiran and accused him angrily.

When the officials in the hall heard Xu Jie's accusation, they couldn't help but roll their eyes silently.

Both of you are scrambling to be the persons in the Ming Dynasty, but now you are almost fighting in person. Do you have the nerve to ask you what kind of hatred you have?

But everyone is smart, and Xu Jie's accusations like this may not be really "wronged". They mainly show their innocence to the emperor, but in fact it is also a manifestation of guilt.

Lin Xu Ran's face was still calm in response to the accusation, and responded lightly: "Gei Xu, I am not against the people, and I am still clear about public and private matters! Emperor Xianzong of Tang favored Liu Bi and died of taking the medicine for immortality and poison.

After Emperor Muzong of Tang ascended the throne, he immediately executed Liu Bi and other alchemists. This is the right way! Now these demons are deceived first, and fake medicine is wiped later. The Ministry of Justice has found out the facts. The demons who deceived the emperor and ruined the country.

, I will not tolerate the evil spirit, but will ask the emperor to severely punish this demon to correct the country's laws. How come I can bring private complaints?"

In the end, he also expressed his emotions and bowed to Longqing to show his loyalty.

Zhu Heng and others nodded silently, finding that there was no controversy in this matter, but they didn't understand why Xu Jie still protected those damn demons so much.

Through Xu Jie's abnormal reaction, many officials also noticed that they were right. Xu Jie was a famous ruthless person. He used to stand by and watch his disciples Yang Jisheng and others. Why do they want to protect a few irrelevant ones now?

Where is the demonic way?

Long Qing listened to Lin Shiran's clear logic and found that Lin Shiran could not have complained with private complaints. On the contrary, Xu Jie's actions today were indeed suspicious.

"The case of the emperor, Wang Jin and others is related to the reputation of the late emperor. This matter must be discussed for a long time. I beg you to discuss it later!" Xu Jie snorted coldly at Lin Xuran, then turned around and asked Longqing.

At this point, he knew that he would open his mouth ten more, but he was still arguing that Lin Junran, the "first debater of the Ming Dynasty". However, he knew that he no longer had the ability to stop this matter, and he could no longer protect Wang Jin's group of people, so he could only

Get more time.

When the officials in the hall heard Xu Jie's request, they did not immediately look at Long Qing on the dragon throne, but turned their heads to look at Lin Weiran standing in front.

In the current court, Longqing has always been "following the flow". This "flow" depends entirely on Lin Qinran's willingness. Once he disagrees with this plan, the plan will naturally be denied.

Now that Xu Jie wants to postpone the case of Wang Jin and others, he undoubtedly needs to ask Lin Qinran’s opinions, and Lin Qinran needs to not object to it before it can be implemented.

But before Longqing could speak, Guo Pu immediately said calmly: "Gei-Her, according to your way of handling, will the court continue to lock up Wang Jin and his group for a year and a half?" He paused.

He said sarcastically: "If this is the case, then you will be responsible for the food of Wang Jin and others. The court does not have the spare money to support this group of people who are deceiving the emperor and wiping the emperor's lord!"

this……

When the officials in the hall heard these teasing words, Guo Pu undoubtedly deliberately disgusted Xu Jie, who was determined to protect Wang Jin and others, couldn't help but smile.

It turns out that Guo Pu and Lin Qiran have been staying there for a long time, and they are already able to get rid of others.

Long Qing also knew that it could not be delayed so ignorantly, and said seriously: "Old Master Xu, it is indeed not appropriate to delay things indefinitely!" As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Lin Xu Ran and asked seriously: "

Lin Aiqing, do you think what should you do to deal with this matter?"

Huh?

When the officials in the hall heard Long Qing's question, they immediately arrested Long Qing and seemed much more friendly to Lin Junran, but they couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie's face slightly darkened, and he also caught Long Qing's attitude change, but he glared at Lin Qingran resentfully. He knew that Lin Qingran's story was not only to attack him, but also to alienate his relationship with Long Qing.

Because he repeatedly and firmly protected Wang Jin and his Taoist gang, it may have really aroused Long Qing's suspicion, and he had fallen into Lin Qiran's trap this time.

"Report to the emperor, since Mr. Xu thought that he was placing a complaint with private complaints, and I also thought that Mr. Xu was too protective of those demons, so I beg to hold a court meeting according to the rules!" Lin Qingran immediately faced Long Qing's inquiry.

Throw a solution.

"good!"

Officials such as Lin Xuan nodded in recognition of this plan, not entirely because they supported Lin Yuran, but because the court assembly allowed them to participate.

If things are resolved in the morning court or in the cabinet, then their nine ministers are undoubtedly bystanders, but if things are pushed to court, then each of them can enjoy the beauty of power.

It is precisely because they hope that the court can hold court discussions frequently, and they can also take this opportunity to participate in the decision-making of national affairs.

this……

When Zhang Juzheng heard that Lin Junran was about to push Wang Jin's case to the court, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter, and his eyes were complicated to look at his teacher.

The Lin Party has long controlled the entire court. If the court discussion is really to be held, everything will be carried out according to Lin Junran's will, and Wang Jin and his group will undoubtedly die.

Xu Jie's face became even more ugly, but he found that Guo Pu was staring at his every move with his eyes, and finally retracted his half-stretched foot.

It’s not that he didn’t want to stop the court’s proposal and gave up protecting Wang Jin’s group of people, but that it would be useless for him to continue to stand up now, and it would deepen the doubts of all parties about him.

But he knew very well that Wang Jin and his group could not execute the death penalty. Once he failed to silence Wang Jin and others in the Ministry of Justice, those people might have to bite him.

Long Qing looked at Xu Jie without any objection, so he followed the good news and said, "Add to report and hold a court meeting on a date!"

"The emperor is wise!" Lin Qingran and other officials immediately complimented.

This matter has already begun. Although the matter was indeed successfully passed by Xu Jie, the result of the court discussion was actually without any suspense, and Wang Jin and his group would definitely be unable to escape death.

Xu Jie quickly regained his mood and immediately handed Zhang Juzheng a wink.

When things have come to this point, he must turn the tables against the wind as soon as possible. If he continues to do something like Lin Qingran, not to mention that his reputation and status as a virtuous prime minister are not guaranteed, he may have been as infamous as Yan Song for thousands of years.

Zhang Juzheng noticed the gaze that Xu Jie cast, and first nodded with understanding, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Here comes!

When the officials in the hall saw Zhang Juzheng stepping out, they immediately guessed that the real big storm of the morning court was about to begin, and they couldn't help but look nervously at the several cabinet masters in front of them.

When Chen Hong saw the memorial presented in Zhang Juzheng's hand, he first looked at Longqing's reaction, then walked down to accept Zhang Juzheng's memorial, and then submitted it to Longqing.

Longqing seemed to have known the content of the memorial, but he opened it in a pretentious manner.

hehe……

When Xu Jie saw that the memorial had been delivered to Long Qing, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and then turned his head proudly to look at Lin Yueran.

Although judging from the current situation, he did not insist on promoting the power to enthrone the eldest son Zhu Yijun as the crown prince, it does not mean that he cannot find a suitable reason.

Zhu Heng and other officials looked at Zhang Juzheng, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in their eyes, but they didn't understand what else Xu Dang could think of to break the situation.

"Emperor, a strange stone appeared in the river in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province. Local officials reported to the court together. There was a warning from the gods on the stone surface, but it was related to the establishment of the crown prince!" Zhang Juzheng noticed that Long Qing had opened the memorial and reported it seriously with a look of his face.

road.

this……

After hearing these words, the officials in the hall couldn't help but look at each other.

Although there are many such plots from ancient times to the present, this time it is obviously a fooling person. How could such a coincidence be possible in the world? Combined with the appearance of strange stones in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi, it must be the masterpiece of the Shanxi Gang and the Xu Party.

cough……

Guo Pu couldn't help but cough gently, but looked at Lin Weiran with a strange look.

Lin Weiran's mouth was slightly bitter, and he found that once a person was shameless, he could do anything ridiculous. Using this kind of "revealing the truth" would simply insult the IQ of their officials.

I just have to admit that even if you make a loud fart here, you didn’t make it if you bite to death, and there is really no evidence for others.

"Old Zhang Ge, the warning on the stone surface is related to the establishment of the crown prince, but I don't know what it is?" Zou Yinglong pretended not to know, but inquired seriously.

The officials in the hall rolled their eyes, but they couldn't help but look at Zhang Juzheng curiously.

Zhang Juzheng cleared his throat slightly and said in a singing voice: "March 3rd, the imperial concubine is born; August 8th, the real dragon comes out. Repeated life, life is too expensive; two dragons fight, hurt the country's foundation. I advise you to go to the court today

The universe is settled, and the beautiful rivers and mountains are passed down for generations."

this……

Zhu Heng and others did not expect that in order to promote the rationality of enthroning the eldest son of the emperor, Xu Jie, with the Shanxi Gang, made such a lie, but involved the matter on the eldest son and the second son of the emperor.

However, it is a coincidence that the second son of the emperor was born on March 3rd, and the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun was born on August 17th, which can also be used as the "August Eighth".

"Great!"

After listening to the warning content of Shimian, Guo Pu also glanced at Xu Jie next to him with complicated eyes.

In the battles between the throne in all dynasties, the struggle for the throne was very fierce, and there were many brothers who turned against each other. Yingzong and Daizong of this dynasty staged a situation of brotherhood.

Xu Jie's contradiction this time avoided the emperor's legitimate son and the emperor's eldest son, but cleverly led the contradiction to the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's second son, thus deepening the urgency to enthrone the emperor's eldest son Zhu Yijun as the crown prince.

The establishment of the crown prince was not only to determine the heir to the throne, but also to prevent the fight between the same family, but Xu Jie undoubtedly cleverly captured the latter.

Lin Weiran's brows frowned slightly. In fact, he happened to hear this "children's rhyme" on the way to court, and he also discovered Xu Jie's cleverness.

What surprised him was that Xu Jie did a more bold job than he had guessed, and actually forged this "God warning" with the Shanxi Gang.

"Emperor, since God has warned you, please follow the will of God and sign the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun as the crown prince as soon as possible!" Xu Jie suddenly stepped out of the line and petitioned with righteousness.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became extremely tense, and the dispute over establishing the crown prince had already begun again.

"Please follow the will of heaven and confer the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince as soon as possible!" Li Chunfang and other officials also took the lead and responded to Xu Jie.

Seeing this, Zhu Heng and other officials turned their heads and looked at Lin Xuran, but only waited for Lin Xuran to give orders.
