And Wang Tingxiang finally understood why Qin Dewei asked Guo Xun if he was really greedy for money.
Qin Dewei said to Guo Xun again: "In front of His Majesty, please answer truthfully. Have you sent anyone to see Zhang Yanling?"
Guo Xun didn't dare to lie. Wang Tingxiang, the Minister of Punishment, was still here. Lying was the crime of deceiving the emperor. He could only say: "It happened."
There were so many people who had seen Zhang Yanling that it was not a big deal.
The Zhang family is the richest man in the capital. After decades of accumulation, they own numerous manors and shops.
Now that the Zhang family is in decline, Zhang Yanling is imprisoned in the sky prison and cannot get out. The Zhang family is like a big fat piece of meat. Who among the powerful nobles in the capital would not want to cut off a piece of it?
Qin Dewei stopped asking Guo Xun, but it was enough for everyone to automatically figure it out.
At this time, many smart people gradually woke up.
No wonder that after Qin Dewei made a public inscription declaring war, there was no movement, as if nothing had been prepared.
What kind of preparation is needed to use this "unnecessary" skill? Just a mouth is enough.
However, Qin Dewei's "unfounded" statement caught everyone off guard, and Emperor Jiajing was also a little confused.
It stands to reason that Jiajing should be angry when his trusted military minister was so wantonly slandered, but Qin Dewei did so under the guise of "I am doing it for the emperor's good".
No one else said anything, they were still thinking about it in their minds.
Guo Xun didn't panic. What Qin Dewei said was outrageous. How could he rebel? He was the emperor's most trusted military minister!
Emperor Jiajing would be a fool if he punished himself, a close confidant of the Beijing Camp, for such outrageous empty talk!
Then he told Emperor Jiajing: "In broad daylight, Qin Dewei dares to call a deer a horse! Please make the decision again, Your Majesty!"
The meaning is obvious. If Emperor Jiajing wants to make the decision for Lord Guo, he should punish Qin Dewei for talking nonsense!
So Qin Dewei continued to add fuel to the fire and said seriously: "I put myself in Guo Xun's shoes and studied the strategy for Guo Xun.
When foreign military craftsmen arrived in the capital and became Guo Xun's subordinates, it was natural for them to hide some artillery secretly.
When worshiping heaven and earth in the suburbs, the private soldiers of the dead soldiers hidden in Guoxun Manor outside the city moved out in full force, setting up artillery and aiming it in advance.
When His Majesty and the officials left the city and entered the artillery firing range, they began to bombard them.
Then Guo Xun could use his private sergeants to forcefully close the city gates and block the city and outside.
After that, Guo Xun could pull out artillery from his home and bombard the palace gate. After breaking it, he could send troops into the palace.
As long as looting is allowed, there will definitely be a large number of thieves! It is not a bad idea to occupy the palace and establish a new king.
Moreover, at that time, rumors must have spread all over Beizhili, Shandong, and Henan, which are closest to the capital.
Private salt dealers are fierce villains. If the post is cut off at this time, the capital will be blocked from communicating with other provinces.
Then they go around killing people and setting fires, and the surrounding provinces will not be peaceful, and they will no longer care about the capital!"
Everyone: ""
I thought I had experienced the essence of "Unnecessary" just now, but I didn't expect that the more essence was yet to come.
Guo Xun's affairs include being trusted by the emperor to become the chief military officer of the Beijing camp, supervising the task of making firearms, suing for land to build a manor, and taking over the private salt business of the Zhang family in order to make money.
It really doesn't matter if you look at them one by one. Most of them are common things that happen to nobles.
But I didn't expect that after being summed up by Qin Dewei and connected with the logic of rebellion, it turned out to be so terrifying!
Everyone subconsciously thought about it and realized that the rebellion strategies mentioned by Qin Dewei were indeed very feasible for Guo Xun.
No wonder Qin Dewei stood at the right gate of Chang'an blocking Guo Xun before going to court just now, deliberately irritating Guo Xun.:.
The purpose is to guide Guo Xun to talk about firearms manufacturing at the court meeting for the sake of face, so that Qin Dewei can use the topic more smoothly.
Finally, Qin Dewei summed it up with a eloquent sentence: "So, Guo Xun is absolutely capable of doing what I am worried about!"
False and groundless: fabricating and framing false accusations out of thin air, accusing others of rebelling.
The real reason: Although you did not rebel, and I am not slandering you for rebelling, you do have the ability to rebel!
This has nothing to do with whether the emperor favors you or not. It is a matter of another dimension.
Over the years, everyone has figured out that Emperor Jiajing was not the Tang Ming Emperor who doted on An Lushan, but was a suspicious, jealous and insecure character.
The entire hall was completely silent, not even a whisper of discussion. No one dared to speak easily about this matter.
Wucao! Guo Xun finally started to panic, and even he himself began to wonder involuntarily, did he really have the strength to rebel?
Don't think about this! Don't let the Emperor have any worries!
Guo Xun couldn't care about Qin Dewei anymore. He kowtowed to the ground and hit the gold bricks on the ground with his forehead, making a thumping sound.
I tried my best to say only nine words: "I am brave and loyal, and I can learn from gods and men!"
Next to him, Qin Dewei said quietly: "Looking at the history books, Zhao Kuangyin also said that he was a loyal minister."
Guo Xun had no intention of quarreling with Qin Dewei, and kowtowed to Emperor Jiajing: "It's really unwarranted!"
Guo Xun is considered a well-educated military officer, otherwise how could he compile "The Legend of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty"?
Of course he knew the allusion "unfounded", so he took it out and used it to show his innocence.
Qin Dewei next to him said quietly: "Guo Xun is so brave, how dare you compare yourself to Yue Wumu?"
At first, everyone didn't realize what the connotation of Qin Dewei's words was. After careful consideration, they almost couldn't stand it.
If Guo Xun compares himself with Yue Fei, then who is Guo Xun's Song Gaozong?
"Qin Dewei, shut up! Back off!" Emperor Jiajing on the throne said angrily, but everyone could hear a bit of anxiety.
As soon as Qin Dewei returned to his position and before he could gain a firm foothold, he heard the emperor on the throne shout again: "Qin Dewei is trying to please others by grandstanding, making alarmist remarks, and disrupting the court ceremony! Fork out the imperial staff twenty!"
Shocked, it came so suddenly!
Before Qin Dewei could express his gratitude, he was held down by the wolf-like and tiger-like guard on duty and dragged out.
Huh? Emperor Jiajing glanced around the ministers in confusion. Something was wrong. Why didn't he stand up and intercede?
Usually, no matter who is being beaten with a royal stick, other ministers will always come forward to stop and plead for mercy. Who doesn't have a few relatives and friends?
Why is it that this time Qin Dewei, the No. 1 scholar in Wenkuei, a famous poet, a facade in the imperial examination, Hanyuan, Tsinghua University, and Qin Dewei was beaten, but no one interceded for Qin Dewei?
Emperor Jiajing's suspicious character couldn't bear this magical anomaly, so he said to Li Shi, the nearest chief assistant:
"Although Qin Dewei is unscrupulous in his words, he has always had a young heart. I may have been too harsh on him. What do you think, Mr. Li?"
Li Shoufu responded: "Your Majesty is determined to carve jade, and I will be happy to see it come to fruition."
Emperor Jiajing: ""
Li Shi, Li Shoufu, was a well-known good old man who kept aloof from the world and hid in the court. Even such a good old man didn't help Qin Dewei to intercede?
Emperor Jiajing suddenly felt that he could not figure out the mentality of these ministers. We provide you with the fastest update of the Ming Dynasty primary school students, Chapter 527: Ancestor Crafts (Part 2), free to read.:.
