Chapter 2251 The Last Killing Move
Wenyuan Pavilion, the conference hall, seemed quiet at this moment.
Lin Qingran blew the heat from his mouth and gently spat a bit of fragrant face, and his whole body was immediately injected with vitality. He put the tea cup back on the tea cup and looked up at Xu Jie who was stunned like a wooden chicken.
He asked knowingly, "Gei Xu, I wonder what's wrong with this memorial?"
Li Chunfang and others noticed Xu Jie's abnormality and stared at Xu Jie's ugly face curiously. However, when they heard Lin Junran's question, they seemed to have thought of something and looked strangely.
Lin Weiran, who was calm at first glance.
Xu Jie endured the urge to tear the memorial to pieces, but suddenly raised his head and asked Lin Qingran angrily, "Is it you?"
this……
Zhang Juzheng had never seen his teacher who had always been calm and unsuspecting to be so disobedient. It was not because his teacher had a good mentality, but mainly because he had not been severely injured by a strong enemy.
But he was even more confused. Wu Shilai was one of the disciples that Xu Jie valued, and this memorial was not impeached by his teacher, so why did the teacher lose his composure?
Li Chunfang and others who followed Zhang Juzheng had similar psychological activities also turned their heads and looked at Xu Jie, but they didn't know how Xu Jie was so out of control.
"Hai Rui is the direct minister who dares to directly advise the emperor. Wu Shilai is your disciple. If they do something unfavorable to you! Haha... I'm afraid you shouldn't blame them for being instructed by me, and
You should do a good job of reviewing yourself!" Lin Qingran responded calmly in response to Xu Jie's accusations.
Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin exchanged glances and turned their eyes to the memorial that came from Wu Shilai.
Things are indeed as Lin Junran said. If it was a memorial that was not conducive to Xu Jie, Xu Jie should have really reflected on it.
Not to mention that Hai Rui was the direct minister who prepared the coffin and advised the late emperor to death, and Wu Shilai was Xu Jie's disciple. Wu Shilai had suffered many hardships and did not call on Xu Jie's behind the scenes.
In this dynasty, the relationship between teachers and students is like father and son. Even if the teacher does not like the students, the students must respect the teacher. It is just a teacher who is hostile to the students, and this teacher is probably really bad.
That's right. If Xu Jie was impeached by Hai Rui and Wu Shilai one after another, Xu Jie really had to reflect on it, instead of accusing Lin Weiran of trying to murder him.
Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng exchanged glances, and sighed helplessly, finding that Xu Jie really wanted to examine himself carefully.
Of course, the four of them still didn't know what was going on, and they looked even more curiously at the memorial in Xu Jie's hand.
Feng Bao was the only insider present, but he did not reveal his intention to speak out. He stood by and watched everything here silently.
Lin Qingran held the tea lid and poured tea water lightly, looking afraid that the world would be in chaos and asked, "Master Yuan Fu, I wonder what Zhang said to Jian's memorial? Since the six of us ministers were all present, there was no need to hide it.
I've tucked in, so I should discuss a result together!”
Since Longqing ascended the throne, it has been difficult for the cabinet to be "unique" again, and many important things have been discussed and concluded after discussions in the cabinet.
However, with Gao Gong's departure, Zhang Juzheng has now entered the cabinet, which has led to a significant increase in Xu Zheng's voice. If there is not much persuasion, Xu Jie often has the final say.
Li Chunfang and others naturally recognized Lin Junran's proposal, and they all looked at Xu Jie with curious eyes, vaguely feeling that something big happened this time.
But they are used to it! If we talk about the bottom line and conspiracy, Lin Junran is probably not Xu Jie's opponent; but if we talk about the plot, Lin Junran is the well-deserved first in the world, and is a real "three-step calculation".
Obviously, Xu Jie fell into Lin Qinran's plan again this time, but he didn't know where Lin Qinran would lead him.
Xu Jie looked at Lin Weiran deeply. After struggling for several years, he seemed unwilling to hand over the memorial and passed it to Li Chunfang through Si Shilang.
Li Chunfang was the second assistant of the dynasty and the successor of Xu Jie after he left office, but at this time he was more curious. When he opened the memorial, the content of the memorial immediately came into his eyes.
Wu Shilai, the minister of the engineering department, reported: As I know, Kun was a domineering person in Songjiang, relying on his father's high position and power, he robbed him, and was invaded and robbed him. The people were in trouble. The people were resentful. The Xu family had a wide range of fertile land and beautiful houses.
In Songjiang, Suzhou, Yangzhou and Nanjing.
Today, Songjiang has frequent floods and droughts, and there are many police officers in the north and south, and the people are poor and wealthy, so there is no one to be caught off guard. However, when the disaster comes, the rice prices in Songjiang City soar, and the Xu family evades taxes for thousands of stones, which has reached tens of thousands of stones in the past year.
His past actions are hard to refuse his mistakes.
Kun has been in Beijing for more than two years, but he often stayed in the Jiaofangsi, and was flirting with guests and attending the guests. His concubines danced and sang loudly every day, and he ignored the position of the main job. This was a dereliction of duty.
However, he was insatiable in patents, stealing his father's power, selling official positions and titles. Guo Jianchen, a former member of the Ministry of Personnel, planned to be the prefect of Huizhou, Guangdong, and got 3,000 taels of silver. Now Guo Jianchen joined the local area and was unable to exert his wealth to pay for the official position.
If the expenses are like this, the people will not be poor? After his recommendation, the Marquis of Linhuai was appointed as the general of the grain transport army, and the Marquis of Linhuai also sent them to the Xu family's mansion with huge sums of money. This kind of evil deeds is not to be expressed.
Kun was guilty of his dereliction of duty, his official position was unfaithful, and his son was unfilial. He specially asked the emperor to severely punish Kun, dismiss him and guard the border to serve as the foundation of the country.
...
This memorial, which only has more than 300 words, exposes Xu Kun's various evil deeds, and it has already hit Xu Kun's head with a heavy stick.
Li Chunfang finished reading this plain memorial, first glanced at Xu Jie with sympathy, and then looked at Lin Qingran with complicated eyes.
Although he still doesn't understand why Wu Shilai was willing to submit this memorial, once this memorial is published and the content in the memorial is true, Xu Jie will also be implicated.
While their officials were rewarded by the court for "wives and sons" and they also had to bear the serious consequences of their son's mistakes. Many officials were burdened by their own sons.
That's true. Once Xu Kun's crime is confirmed, Xu Jie will definitely be restrained, and this is also the fundamental reason why Xu Jie loses his composure.
Guo Pu coughed gently and glared at Li Chunfang who was tracing intently.
Only then did Li Chunfang realize that although she was helpless, she still handed the memorial in her hand to Si Shilang and passed it to Guo Pu according to the rules.
After reading the content of the memorial, Guo Pu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and then handed the memorial to Lin Weiran through Si Shilang.
Lin Qiran put down the teacup, took the memorial and glanced at it roughly, and then passed it to Chen Yiqin according to the rules, but a trace of determination flashed across his eyes.
After this period of hard work, he eventually disintegrated Xu Jie's tortoise shell step by step, and then found a flaw and stabbed him hard.
It’s not that he didn’t want to get rid of Xu Jie earlier, but that Xu Jie has never been just a prime minister, but a leader of a powerful group. He even silently influenced the direction of the Ming Dynasty for decades later.
In the original history, after Xu Jie left the position of chief minister, Li Chunfang took over. Although he experienced Gao Gong's variables, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei were behind him.
Even though Xu Jie was subjected to Hai Rui's variables and his later years were not guaranteed, until the birth of the Wanli Dynasty, Wanli sent eunuchs to give cordial condolences, which was an evergreen tree in the officialdom.
Faced with such a difficult opponent, he knew that hasteness would not be achieved, and he also advanced step by step according to the plan. Until he forced Xu Jie to the corner, he gave Xu Jie another fatal blow.
Fortunately, his plan was progressing smoothly. He found this flaw in Xu Kun, but he took this opportunity to kick the throne of Xu Jie's chief assistant.
The sun is bright outside the door, but there is a hint of coolness here.
"Taking patriarchy?"
After reading the content of this memorial, Zhang Juzheng knew that Wang Jun’s memorial and impeachment were just a stimulus. The real killing move was undoubtedly this memorial by Wu Shilai, and he also saw the most critical accusation from it.
The stealing of patriarchy was the accusation by Zou Yinglong on the young master Yan Shifan back then, but history seemed to be repeated, but now this accusation falls on Xu Kun.
Yan Shifan was accused of this, and then the three departments found out that Yan Shifan was greedy for Mo, and was eventually sentenced by the court to guard the border Leizhou.
If it is confirmed that Wu Shilai's accusations were true, then Xu Jie had already suffered the same fate as Yan Song, but he would be ordered to retire by the court because of this.
But he felt very confused. It was said that Wu Shilai took such a risk and was "strict" back then, and he was undoubtedly loyal to his teacher, but why did he stab him now?
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but remember that the place where Wu Shi came to guard the border was Hengzhou, Guangxi, but he looked at Lin Qingran with suspicious eyes. Could it be that Lin Qingran had any handle when Wu Shi came to guard the border?
In fact, it was not just Zhang Juzheng, but Xu Jie and Li Chunfang were also very confused. In particular, Xu Jie wanted to stare Lin Weiran to death with his eyes.
Lin Qingran spat a mouthful of hot tea, then looked up at Xu Jie and asked, "Yuan Fu, although we should not believe Wu Shi's one-sided words now, you may not let the emperor's memorial be kept as you did a few days ago.
, but I need to give an explanation to the emperor!”
Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin nodded gently, while looking firmly at Xu Jie.
"Selling official positions and titles? If you want to add a crime, why not worry about it!" Xu Jie snorted coldly and responded immediately.
Lin Weiran put down the teacup in his hand, but asked seriously: "What if Yuan Fu thinks is Wu Shi who framed Mr. Ling?"
Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng exchanged glances silently, then turned their heads to look at Xu Jie.
"Of course! All this was made up by Wu Shi, so my son would definitely not do such a traitor!" Xu Jie made up his mind to protect his son, and immediately expressed his firm attitude.
Lin Qingran did not argue with Xu Jie, and said calmly: "Since Yuan Fu believes it is a fabrication, we plan to verify it by the three departments, okay?" After a pause, he added: "According to
As I know, Xu Kun is sure to go to the Jiaofangsi a lot, and I have heard of him receiving 3,000 taels of silver notes from Guo Jianchen!"
this……
When Li Chunfang heard this, he immediately knew that Lin Xu Ran was prepared this time, and Guo Jianchen's affairs were undoubtedly enough to make Xu Kun fall into the abyss.
Not to mention whether Xu Kun had stealing his father's power, just selling official positions and titles, Xu Kun was already doomed, and Xu Jie must have been involved.
well……
Zhang Juzheng also sighed inwardly, but he didn't know whether Lin Junran really grasped Xu Kun's evidence or deliberately blackmailed Xu Jie here, but he knew in his heart that this impeachment might be true.
According to his observation, Xu Kun and Xu Jie are the same acting school. When they are in front of Xu Jie, Xu Kun is the most obedient and filial son, but when they leave Xu Jie, the problems of Xu Kun's second generation ancestor will be revealed directly.
As for Wu Shilai impeaching Kun as a domineering man in Songjiang, he had no doubts at all. This must be Xu Kun's truest side.
That's right, he knew that even if his teacher tried to argue for Xu Kun, he would probably not be able to protect the two young masters of Xu, who were incompatible with each other, and the teacher would also be implicated.
"There is no need to make a vote for this matter. I will meet with the emperor to explain the situation!" Xu Jie knew that it was impossible to settle the matter by denying alone, so he was just thinking about it.
It was only when he was looking for the memorial that he realized that Si Shilang Chen Jingbang did not return the memorial to him, but fell into Lin Weiran's hands.
Lin Qingran held the memorial and said firmly: "Mr. Yuanfu, the court has the rules of the court. We can ignore the last Hai Rui memorial, but this time it involves your son Xu Kun, which is even more important.
Please avoid it when selling official positions and titles!”
Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng exchanged glances and sighed secretly, knowing that the court might really change, and the dispute between Xu Lin is about to come to an end.
"Lin Ruoyu, you should return the memorial to me soon. Do you really want to tear the face?" Xu Jie saw that Lin Junran was about to kill him, and immediately threatened angrily.
Lin Xu Ran faced the threat, but he raised his memorial without fear: "Geither Xu, if you think you can cover the sky with your hands and protect your evil son Xu Kun, then this Grade Master can tell you clearly:
Today's court is not your one-man show, but no matter who the crime is involved, it will be severely punished by the court! If you want to protect Xu Kun, this cabinet is the first to disagree!"
"Boy, you... are arrogant!" Xu Jie stood up suddenly, but accused loudly.
Lin Xuran saw that he was about to come and take the memorial, and said lightly: "If you don't say that the emperor will not agree to your rude request, our cabinet and the officials of the court will not agree. You should recognize the reality!"
When Xu Jie heard this, his eyes suddenly became dark and he fainted.
The person who stood at the top of power, especially the one who once controlled the court, was forced to the palace by a former little man, which caused him to suffer an unprecedented blow.
Chapter completed!
