Sure enough, just as Liu Mianhua had some worries, he heard the emperor coughing heavily on the throne, obviously dissatisfied with what was happening in front of his eyes.
This is a court interrogation. The theme is questioning of guilt. The criminal is Fang Yingwu, but Fang Yingwu distorts everything. If this continues, the matter will no longer be this matter. Isn't it true that all the figures of the dynasty are standing here?
Look at Fang Yingwu’s arrogant pose!
Lin Shangshu was helpless. The emperor had a stuttering problem and did not like to speak in front of the ministers. Wang Yue, the censor of Zuodu, focused on military matters and was recognized as a close confidant of Wang Zhi. Therefore, he, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, could only take charge.
The review party should respond.
Unexpectedly, after a few rounds, Fang Yingwu lost more than others. He was so powerful that he almost beat Dongchang who provided evidence and Ni Yushi who impeached him into the hole...
Now that the emperor was dissatisfied, Lin Shangshu could only continue the interrogation. However, Mr. Lin was thinking about the words in his heart, but on the other side, Ni Jinxian and Censor Ni heard the emperor coughing. As if they had received a new signal, they suddenly went into battle again and rushed to question Fang.
Yingwu - this is an opportunity to show off in front of the emperor, and Wan Shoufu is also watching. If he can't seize the opportunity, why should he be in the court?
"Fang Yingwu, don't use sweet words. Just talk about him! When you were in the prison, Wang Zhi of Xichang often went to the prison to visit you. Is it true? In full view of the public, you can't hide it from others!"
Fang Yingwu said helplessly: "It is indeed true. We have met several times. But he is a high official and I am a prisoner. Eunuch Wang must come in. Can I stop him?"
Ni Jinxian sneered. "As long as you dare to admit it, then Wang Zhi has had secret conversations with you alone every time and has shut out everyone else. Is this a problem?"
Fang Yingwu continued to say helplessly: "This Wang Zhi is determined to be like this. Even if I, the prisoner, don't want to see him and talk to him, what ability can I have to stop the director of the West Factory?"
Censor Ni asked again, "Then what are you talking about in secret?" Fang Yingwu hesitated for a moment and said nothing.
Seeing that Fang Yingwu didn't seem to dare to answer, Yushi Ni said loudly: "A gentleman is magnanimous. Your Majesty is here to see you. If you are really open-minded and aboveboard, what can't you say?"
It seems to me that today's court hearing was unexpected and you didn't have time to meet Wang Zhi to exchange words. You were afraid that there would be some mistakes in your answers, so you didn't dare to answer!"
Emperor Chenghua on the throne slightly nodded his head, and almost applauded in a disgraceful manner. As expected, Censor Ni also had two brushes, and could be sent out by Wan Shoufu to fight in the ring. His eloquence was indeed sharp enough! Although the surname was Ni at the beginning
They fell behind, but after regrouping, they still showed their due strength.
Letting go of Fang Yingwu for nothing would be very embarrassing for him as an emperor; but if he used the name of being a stern admonisher and convicted of a crime to punish Fang Yingwu, he would probably be resented by all the courtiers, and it would also ruin Fang Yingwu's reputation.
; But if it is done in the name of colluding with eunuchs, no one will have anything to say and can still save their own face.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chenghua suddenly felt relaxed. I have to say that the idea proposed by the first assistant was indeed a good one. At worst, it would be linked to the Xichang, which was no longer as effective as before.
As long as Fang Yingwu is dealt with, which means killing the chicken and scaring the monkey, and delaying it for a while, then this storm can be settled. According to the emperor's experience in fighting against the courtiers for many years, it is difficult for any topic to remain a hot topic.
, will always be diluted by time and new hot topics.
When Yushi Ni asked this, he stopped talking to Fang Yingwu and turned to the emperor: "I heard from your majesty that Fang Yingwu did not dare to admit it. There must be a conspiracy. The crime of internal and external collusion that I impeached him should be true! Again!
Please submit to His Majesty’s Holy Judgment!”
There are many courtiers who are interested in explaining Fang Yingwu's situation, but after thinking about it, they really don't know what to say. This person has an unclear quarrel with the Xichang Admiral. This should be a sure thing. I don't know what happened before.
Open your mouth?
Besides, looking at Fang Yingwu as if he had been stabbed, he might have accidentally hooked up with Wang Zhi of Xichang, and standing up for him would be tantamount to implicating himself...
Ni Jinxian glanced at Fang Yingwu secretly from the corner of his eye and saw him standing in the hall with his mouth tightly closed, still not opening his mouth to defend himself.
Seeing this, Yushi Ni suddenly felt great pleasure. He felt so damn refreshed by destroying such an idol!
To be honest, he has been a little jealous of Fang Yingwu since just now. Compared with his age, education, and all-round appearance, he is not as good as his teacher.
Inaudible Wan'an!
Compared with his father, his father is a businessman who is not on the stage, and what is Fang Yingwu's father? Compared with marriage, Fang Yingwu's future father-in-law is the prime minister, and his family is just a farmer! Compared with fame, Fang Yingwu is a rising star in Qingliu.
, but he is the fucking Censor of Washing Bird! He is the Censor of Washing Bird for the first assistant!
After the emperor pondered for a moment, Long Mu looked around and called: "Where is Shang Ming?" But no one answered. It turned out that at some time, Eunuch Shang had quietly rolled away, just as he came in quietly, waving his sleeves,
Don't take away a single cloud.
Dog meat is not something that can be served on a banquet! The emperor cursed secretly, at this time, if Dongchang doesn't come out as a villain, does the emperor himself need to come forward?
At this time, Liu Ji, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, stood out from the crowd and said to the emperor: "Fang Yingwu has communicated with the eunuchs, his intentions are evil, and he is not suitable to be a court official. I sincerely ask your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible to reassure people's hearts."
The so-called "unfit to be a courtier" is an obedient saying, but it actually means being relegated to another place. Even if Liu Mianhua is full of tricks, he has no choice at this time. He might as well stand up and be a villain. In the eyes of the emperor, it is at least equivalent to surrendering.
The biggest difference between him, Liu Mianmian, and his second assistant, Liu Jue, is that he can lower his head when he should, and will not confront Wan Shoufu. Since he is being beaten, he should accept the beating.
The emperor hesitated for a moment and pretended to say: "Because he is young and ignorant, let's not take on heavy responsibilities for the time being. He will be dismissed from all government posts and moved to another county to be a county magistrate! The Ministry of Personnel selects officials and leaves the capital immediately!" As for Xichang and Wang Zhi, what about Xichang and Wang Zhi?
It is the emperor's family matter and there is no need to announce it in front of the courtiers.
Yin Min, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, stepped forward and received the imperial edict. After returning to the Ministry of Personnel, he selected officials for Fang Yingwu and sent him out of the capital with gifts.
At this point, the only court trial in the Chenghua Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is over. Those who should eat and drink, those who should have fun, and those who should go to the Yamen will go to official duties.
After receiving the emperor's signal, the eunuch Qin Chang shouted symbolically: "If there is something to do, go to court, if there is nothing to do, let the court go!"
Of course, all the ministers were fine, and they were about to send the emperor off first, but suddenly a eunuch hurriedly walked into the palace in full view of everyone, and said to the emperor: "The Holy Mother has passed down the decree, and I want to reward you with something in return!"
What? The whole palace is looking at each other in astonishment. What kind of scene is this?
PS: It was not easy to write this paragraph. I have been rewriting it back and forth until now. I have almost finished writing the next chapter. I will post it at noon.
