It’s been a long time since so many people came to Xiyuan’s Xiaochao gathering.
The courtyard was crowded with ministers and officials. Only the prominent ones were qualified to enter the monastery, while the rest could only bask in the sun outside.
Those who have the head are naturally the cabinet, the six ministers, the imperial censor and the minister of Dali Temple; the ones who have the reputation can be extended to the left and right ministers of each ministry. Therefore, Xiao Feng and Yan Shifan are naturally among them.
Such a big war was naturally due to the fact that the governor of Jiangnan, Zhang Jingyang, respected the invaders and collaborated with the Japanese to rebel. Zhang Jing, a high-ranking official and the governor of Jiangnan, was naturally unable to kill such a high-ranking official as soon as he was told. He had to go through the motions.
In fact, there was no need to bring so many people. It was precisely because Xiao Feng was back that Yan Song knew that he was sharp-tongued and had a sharp tongue. In order to gang up on Xiao Feng, Yan Song deliberately expanded the size of the meeting.
Although a few people who supported Xiao Feng were inevitably brought in, more strict party officials were brought in. When the time comes, the referee Jiajing will inevitably feel the tremendous pressure from the home audience.
Jiajing's eyes were half-closed and his expression was calm. Huang Jin worked extra hard today and burned the ambergris as thick as mosquito repellent, making everyone in the monastery feel a little dizzy and in a daze.
As per the old rules, it was still Yan Song who presided over the opening of the meeting. He cleared his throat and saluted Jiajing.
"Long live the Imperial Envoy, Zhao Wenhua, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, impeached Zhang Jing, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, for encouraging the bandits to respect themselves and collaborating with the Japanese to rebel.
After verification from all parties, although there is no ironclad evidence, he was always afraid of war when he was in office and allowed the Japanese pirates to wreak havoc without any intention of decisive battle. As a result, fires broke out along the coast south of the Yangtze River and everyone was devastated.
Long live the Holy Ming, he appointed an imperial envoy to supervise the war. When Zhang Jing heard that the imperial envoy was coming, he hurriedly went to war and actually achieved an unprecedented victory. It was extremely suspicious!
After several investigations, Zhao Wenhua found that in this so-called great victory, all the people killed in this so-called victory were Ming Dynasty civilians, and there were no Japanese pirates. It was obvious that the Japanese pirates helped Zhang Jing get through the customs, and together with Zhang Jing, they killed good people and took credit. Long live the deception! "
Yan Song's words were nothing short of a heart-breaking move. He admitted that there was no hard evidence, and in fact, there was no serious evidence.
But the subsequent speculations turned out to be reasonable and conclusive. For a suspicious emperor like Jiajing, this psychological teasing method was simply wonderful.
This is like many scenes in movies and TV shows. If you don’t shoot some driving scenes, you don’t like to see them. If you really shoot them, they won’t pass the review. In desperation, the director will use this psychological teasing method.
Basically you can't see the actress's body, but the director will let you see the actor's smile, let you see the actress' face full of tears and despairing expression, let you see the underwear flying in the sky, let you see The constantly shaking bed makes you hear indescribable sounds.
Then you can figure out all the missing links on your own and work with the director to complete a great work.
At this time, Yan Song was like that skilled director, showing many scenes of Jiajing's clothes flying on the bed, and Jiajing, just like you watching the movie, gradually figured out the details of Zhang Jingtong's Japanese pirates.
Director Yan Song has tried this trick repeatedly and has guided Jiajing to create many great works. For example, famous works such as "The Death of Xia Yan", "The Fall of Shen Lian of the Xiuchundao", and "Yang Jisheng, the Hero of the Ming Dynasty".
And many works that were not even qualified to be released on the Internet because the starring actors who were killed were not famous enough, and gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
But this time someone suddenly broke into the camera, interrupting the joint creative process of Yan Song and Jiajing.
"Long live, I have something unclear and would like to ask Yan Shoufu for advice."
Damn, you really jumped out! Yan Song gritted his teeth, but his face was kind and calm: "Xiao Shaoqing, please tell me something."
"Excuse me, were there any Japanese pirates before Zhang Jing?"
Um? Why doesn't this guy play by the rules? Shouldn't he first ask how he can convince the public if there is no evidence? I had already prepared the answer myself!
Everyone has the answer to this question, so telling lies is meaningless and seems guilty, so Yan Song answered truthfully.
"Japanese pirates have existed since ancient times. They were exterminated during the Taizu period of this dynasty. But in the past ten years, the disaster has become more and more serious. It has been two years since Zhang Jing took office, so naturally they existed before him."
Xiao Feng nodded: "Since Zhang Jing has only been in office for two years, but the Japanese pirates have been causing trouble for ten years, are the previous governors and governors before Zhang Jing also war-phobic?"
This... Yan Song didn't dare to say this. Although the unlucky guy Zhu Wan was killed before, the reason why Zhu Wan was killed was not because he was afraid of fighting, but because he was too aggressive in fighting and offended a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. them.
In addition to Zhu Wan, there are many governors and governors of Jiangnan who are now in power, and there are even people from the Yan Party among them. Yan Song can't just knock down all these people with one blow just to frame Zhang Jing!
Yan Song knew Xiao Feng's intentions and could only avoid the truth: "Xiao Shaoqing doesn't need to involve others. Zhang Jing is afraid of fighting, and he deserves it! Times have changed, and not all situations are the same!"
Xiao Feng smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about the fear of war for now. Let me ask again, have any other governors ever fought such a large-scale victory when they were in office?"
This... Yan Song was at a loss for words again, because this matter couldn't be talked nonsense. Every military achievement was recorded, and if it was there, it was there, and if it wasn't, it was not.
"The Japanese pirates were cunning and cunning, and they did not dare to easily confront our Ming army. Therefore, there were no large-scale battles in the past, and naturally there were no large-scale victories. However, it cannot be said that the successive governors were incompetent."
Yan Song's move was a combination of elimination and attack. It not only answered Xiao Feng's question, but also excused the previous governors and won people's hearts. It can be said that an old woman is very cunning.
Xiao Feng's eyes widened in surprise: "I was indeed stunned by Yan Shoufu. According to Yan Shoufu, other governors could not engage in large-scale battles with the Japanese pirates. There was no large-scale victory because the Japanese pirates were cunning and slippery.
However, Zhang Jing had not been able to engage in large-scale battles with Japanese pirates before. Without large-scale victory, Zhang Jing was afraid of fighting and supporting the Japanese pirates. do you mean this? "
Yan Song blushed. Xiao Feng had torn off the fig leaf about Yunshan's mist, leaving only the bare truth. After all this nonsense, isn’t it just double standards in the final analysis?
Yan Song couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing whether to bite the bullet and continue walking with bare buttocks, or to find another way. Yan Shifan blinked and stood up to support his father.
"Xiao Shaoqing, you can't just look at a little bit of everything and not be as good as the rest. As the saying goes, you can only see a leopard in a tube, but to know the whole leopard, you need to look high and far.
Even if Zhang Jing was afraid of fighting before, it was because the Japanese pirates were cunning and slippery, but as soon as Banzai sent an imperial envoy to supervise the battle, he won a great victory. Isn't this very suspicious? "
Yan Song and Yan Party officials nodded repeatedly. Jiajing looked at Xiao Feng. This was exactly what he was wondering about. Is Zhang Jing capable of winning at any time, but he refused to try his best?
Xiao Feng sighed sadly. Everyone thought he was finally at a loss for words, but he turned to Jiajing and nodded.
"Senior brother, when we met yesterday, you asked me if I have recalled more things in the fairyland recently. I have indeed learned something these days, but now I don't dare to say anything."
Um? What's going on? Yan Song blinked, he was talking about Zhang Jing's national affairs, why did you get involved in cultivating Taoism? The situation is not right either.
However, Yan Song was too sensible to compete in this aspect, because he knew that Jiajing might be more concerned about this matter than Zhang Jing.
Sure enough, Jiajing opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "You and I have never had any scruples when talking about Taoism, so why don't you dare to say it? Don't worry, things in the immortal world have been inferior to those in the mortal world since ancient times. They are just some that hinder this dynasty. Of course, Senior Brother will not blame you for your words."
Jiajing thought that Xiao Feng did not dare to say it because the books or things in the fairyland might be disrespectful to the Zhu family or the Ming Dynasty, but he was very open-minded in this regard: the gods existed tens of thousands of years ago. It’s only been a few days since the Ming Dynasty, but you still don’t let people speak?
Xiao Feng shook his head: "Senior brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hinder you, just because it was such a coincidence. I didn't say that I remembered it earlier, and I didn't say that I remembered it later, but when senior brother asked me, I said that I remembered it. Isn’t it too suspicious?”
This... Jiajing understood it, and Yan Song also understood it. It turns out that your boy is waiting here!
Jiajing closed his eyes slightly again, but he was thinking about Xiao Feng's statement in his heart. There are so many coincidences, can it really be considered a problem because of this?
Yan Shifan stepped forward again: "Xiao Shaoqing, you and Wan Sui have a sect, so naturally you will not deceive Wan Sui. However, Zhang Jing does not have such a fate. It is naturally possible to deceive Wan Sui. The two are not the same!"
Yes, yes, yes, Yan Dang praised his argument one after another, Jiajing also nodded and smiled. The fate between Xiao Feng and me is naturally incomparable to Zhang Jing. Yan Shifan's words are reasonable, he speaks well, and he is a talent.
Xiao Feng turned to look at Yan Shifan and said with a smile: "Yan Shaoqing, the civil and military minister of the Manchu Dynasty, the first assistant minister, has no grudge against Yan Shaoqing. I wonder why Yan Shaoqing hates them so much?"
Yan Shifan was buried alive by Xiao Feng's imagination again. He looked at Xiao Feng doubtfully: "Xiao Shaoqing, I know you have always been unkind to me, but you should have a basis for framing me. What's the point of framing me out of thin air? "
All the civil and military officials, including his father-in-law Shangshu, including Jiajing, all looked at Xiao Feng and asked: Why does Yan Shifan hate them to the core?
"If Yan Shaoqing didn't hate all the officials to the core, why would he say those words? We must know that among the civil and military officials of the dynasty, who has a relationship with Long Live?
You said that it’s not surprising that someone who has no relationship with Long Live deceives Long Live. Doesn’t this mean that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, including the Chief Assistant, have double-minded intentions towards Long Live and are ready to deceive the emperor at any time? ? "
With a brush, no matter whether they were in the monastery or in the courtyard, no one even heard what was said clearly. They all fell to their knees like a sickle cutting sorghum.
Who can afford to wear this big hat? The people in the Yan Party naturally scolded Xiao Feng for his wickedness, but the other officials, especially the neutral officials, were all angry at Yan Shifan. If you can speak, just say it. If you can't speak, don't fucking say it. What the hell is this? !
Yan Shifan also knelt down, and only Xiao Feng did not kneel down, because according to Yan Shifan, he and Tao Zhongwen were probably the only ones in the entire Ming Dynasty who would not deceive Jiajing, so kneeling down was useless.
Yan Shifan was so angry that his voice trembled, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Jiajing: "Long live, I never meant this. It was Xiao Feng who misinterpreted my words. Xiao Feng has always been sharp-tongued and has no tolerance for others. Please give me a clear warning!"
Jiajing was not an idiot, so he naturally knew that Xiao Feng had repeatedly seized on the loopholes in the Yan family's father and son's words and used small things to lead to big things. In fact, it was suspected of sophistry.
But no matter what, Xiao Feng made Yan Dang's seemingly reasonable words reveal many logical absurdities. This was the reason why Jiajing was willing to indulge Xiao Feng without stopping him.
Seeing that Jiajing was silent, Yan Shifan gritted his teeth and used his trump card: "Long live, Xu Cifu is from Zhejiang, and his family still lives on the coast of Zhejiang.
Xu Cifu once mentioned a letter from his family in a cabinet meeting with his chief minister, repeatedly mentioning that Zhang Jingyang was afraid of fighting and condoned Japanese pirates' plundering! Long live the holy book! "
