Chapter 1706 I am not as rich as I am
In Wanshou Palace, sandalwood rose from the copper stove and filled every corner of the hall.
Jiajing still had some old feelings for Yan Song, but he had no good feelings for Yan Shifan at all. He asked disapprovingly: "Xu Aiqing, what do you think should be dealt with?"
"I think this case should be dealt with impartially and find out whether the matter Lin Run reported is true!" Xu Jie still knelt on the ground and responded with a righteous look.
Jiajing knew that Xu Fan's second daughter was married to Yan Shifan's son Yan Shaoting, and asked with interest: "Xu Aiqing, do you really think Yan Shifan is planning a rebellion?"
Although he did not like Yan Shifan, he actually didn't believe that Yan Shifan wanted to raise the flag to rebel in Jiangxi. In the past, King Ning had money and troops in Jiangxi, but in just 43 days, he was pacified by Wang Shouren, the governor of Gannan.
Yan Shifan was just a fleeing army, but in essence he was a person who could not protect himself. Now Yan Shifan is protected by Yan Song, so he can survive in Jiangxi, so how could he seek death?
The most important thing is that with his understanding of Yan Song, he could not let his son do such a reckless manner.
"Reporting to the emperor, it is related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. I dare not make arbitrary decisions!" Xu Jie did not answer positively, and then said jokingly: "According to the Nanjing Censor Lin Run, Yan Shifan's family's slave Yan Nian and his guest Peng Kong family have a billion yuan in capital. Yan Shifan even said: The court is not as rich as me! Although there is no military power, his wealth is probably already... rich enough to compete with the country. Although Censor Lin's words are horrifying, they are probably not groundless. Please ask the emperor to observe clearly!"
The family slaves are stern and the customers Peng Kong's family has a billion yuan in capital? Is the court as rich as me?
Feng Bao and Chen Hong exchanged glances secretly, and while they were surprised, they also felt a little worried about the Yan family.
Why did Shen Wansan die in the past? It was because Shen Wansan did not know how to accumulate wealth, which led to Taizu set his sights on Shen Wansan, the fat piece of meat. Now Yan Shifan's family slaves and conspirators are so rich, and Yan Shifan also said, "The court is not as rich as me." This financial power is beyond imagination.
After Xu Jie's analysis, the matter not only concerns whether Yan Shifan rebelled, but also involved Yan Shifan's amazing wealth.
Jiajing naturally knew that Yan Shifan's hands were not clean, otherwise he would not have insisted on sentence Yan Shifan to Leizhou to guard the border. He squinted his eyes slightly and seemed to have fun and proved: "Will a small slave be worth billions?"
"Although this matter is incredible, Censor Lin is afraid that he will not slander a slave after proof of it! It would be fine if Yan Shifan has such financial resources now, but he gathered 4,000 thieves in the mountains and forests, which is a great mystery!" Xu Jie responded with pain in his temptation.
Jiajing's face became more and more cold. He picked up a memorial and snorted coldly, "The ancestors of the Yan family are not rich families, where does their money come from?"
this……
When Huang Jin heard this question, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Jiajing secretly, trying to peek at the emperor's thoughts. It was obvious that the saying "The court is nothing as rich as me" had already stimulated the emperor, and the emperor became angry at Yan Shifan's wealth.
"Your Majesty, Yan Shifan was judged for 800 taels of ink, and 800 taels should not be the real number of ink! But I am now without any evidence, but I dare not say anything nonsense!" Xu Jie made a small speculation, and then responded neutrally.
When Feng Bao heard Xu Jie's answer, he couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly and said: I didn't keep a single word of what I wanted to say. Do you still dare not mess around?
As for Yan Shifan's corruption of 800 taels back then, everyone knew that this could not be a real number. Even if Xu Jie gave them the heads in the palace now, the essence was far greater than this number.
However, after Xu Jie said this, the emperor was probably thinking about Yan Shifan's greed for the ink, and it seemed that there was only one answer. The wealth of "the court is as rich as me" came from Yan Shifan's greed for many years.
When Jiajing saw the memorial plea for Yan Shifan in his hand, an inexplicable fire immediately surged into his heart, and he threw the memorial heavily and said: "Please go to the Three Departments to conduct a trial, be sure to find out the truth as soon as possible!"
As the memorial fell, eunuchs, including Huang Jin, fell to their knees.
"I accept the order!" Xu Jie kept kneeling on the ground, and respectfully bowed.
Jiajing let out a breath of turbid air, then waved his hand and said, "Go down!"
"I will leave, long live my emperor!" Xu Jie saluted respectfully again, and then retreated properly, but his eyes were clearly sly and sly.
Feng Bao looked at Xu Jie who was leaving, but sighed sadly in his heart, knowing that Yan Shifan was probably doomed this time.
If it were just because of Lin Run's slander and rebellion, the emperor would probably continue to be exiled to serve as a soldier in his father and son's relationship.
But Yan Shifan is now saying brainless words like "The court is nothing as rich as me". This is simply seeking death. No matter how rich Yan Shifan is, he can't speak nonsense to the outside world.
But we have to admit that Yan Shifan's disaster was not worthy of sympathy at all. It was a disaster that he had brought about by himself. It can be said to be a model of "disaster comes from the mouth".
Xu Jie walked out of Wanshou Palace, faced the bright spring scenery outside, looked up at the blue sky, and his face was filled with a satisfied smile.
When he returned to Wuyi Palace, he originally wanted to send his favorite disciple Zhang Siwei to handle the job, but he remembered that Zhang Siwei and that kid were "locked" in Shuntian Gongyuan, so he sent others to come.
Once the news came out, it naturally caused an uproar in the capital.
However, with the words "the court is not as rich as me" as the family slave Yan Nian and the counselor Peng Kong family, Yan Shifan, saying that "the court is not as rich as me", the simple Beijing people hated Yan Shifan to the core, especially when they thought that the escorts they carried over the years were brought into Yan Shifan's pocket, they wanted to eat their meat raw.
The three departments shall review, which is the highest level of court review in the Ming Dynasty.
The so-called Sansi are naturally the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate of the Capital and Dali Temple. But unlike the past, the current Chief of the Third Department has already changed, including Huang Guangsheng, the Minister of Justice, Zhang Yongming, the Censor of the Left Chief, and Zhang Shouzhi, the Minister of the Dali Temple.
After receiving the order, the left censor Zhang Yongming and the Dali Temple Minister Zhang Shouzhi came to the Ministry of Justice. After a brief discussion, they interrogated Yan Shifan together.
Yan Shifan, wearing a clean prison uniform, walked into the court. Facing these three high-ranking bosses, his eyes were not afraid at all, but instead looked at the three high-ranking officials present with a smile.
For a moment, the lobby of the prison hall suddenly stopped. The three officials stared at a prisoner, but they were staring at each other. This was a situation that had never happened in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.
