Chapter 368: Struggle of Interests

In the early morning, the wind and snow were still there.

Lin Feng woke up early in the morning. When he got up, there was no one around him. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, saying that he spent the spring night warm in the hibiscus tent and returned home, and his life was indeed comfortable.

There is a beauty in my arms.

The days are relaxing and comfortable.

It was rare for him to enjoy such a relaxing day.

Lin Feng put on his clothes and practiced boxing in the yard. His muscles and bones stretched all over and he became completely warm. As soon as he returned to the room, Bai Yuyao prepared breakfast. After the couple had breakfast, Bai Yuyao left to busy with business matters.

Gao Xiaoyu came to the study and reported to Lin Feng the situation of Ying Ziying, the Cui family and the Zhao family. Among the three families of Winner, Cui family and Zhao family, except for the direct lineage who was killed by Lin Feng, the rest of the family were all exiled and all were disposed of.

Lin Feng smiled knowingly.

This is Ying Jiuxiao’s attitude.

He didn't say anything, he just did it. Use this method to support Lin Feng.

When Lin Feng was preparing to read, a chamberlain from the palace came. When the chamberlain saw Lin Feng, he looked respectful and bent down and said: "Master Lin, your Majesty has sent a decree to summon you to the palace to attend the court meeting."

Lin Feng was a little surprised.

What was he doing at the court meeting?

It is true that Lin Feng has the title of Marquis of Zhenguo, but his title is not enough to participate in the court meeting. Furthermore, Lin Feng's external identity was that of the magistrate of Guzang County. He had never participated in a court meeting without entering the center of the imperial court.

What's more, when did this happen?

According to the normal time, the court meeting has already started. Isn't it too late to attend now?

Lin Feng thought in his mind, thinking about the situation of the three major families that he had found out. The three major families headed by Ying Ziying had all been dealt with, but they did not cause any trouble.

Perhaps, it has something to do with these three major families.

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Excuse me, father-in-law, please wait a moment while I change my clothes and get ready."

The chamberlain nodded.

Lin Feng went to change clothes first, then went to the study to make some preparations, and then rode into the imperial city with his chamberlain. When they arrived outside the imperial city, Lin Feng and the chamberlain got off their horses. The chamberlain led Lin Feng to the outside of the main hall and motioned for Lin Feng to enter.

Lin Feng had been to the main hall many times and didn't feel any fear. The moment he entered, he raised his brows. Important officials of the imperial court, such as the six ministers, the other Kedao Yanguan from Yushitai, and other Beijing officials above sixth rank in Xianyang, all participated.

In the main hall, the darkness was filled with heads.

There are many officials.

This is a big court meeting, that's why there are so many people.

Lin Feng entered the main hall, and a chamberlain came forward and led Lin Feng to his designated position.

In the imperial court, officials have their respective positions in terms of their positions and when they are in audience, and they cannot find their positions at will. Lin Feng was very special in the imperial court. He was the emperor's grandson-in-law, the magistrate of Guzang County in the imperial court, and a marquis of Zhenguo named by the emperor. He was both a consort and a courtier.

His position is second only to the six ministers.

Very forward.

So many people looked at it with exploration, hostility, and fear.

Lin Feng looked calm. He took such a scene very lightly. It was just that in his heart, he was thinking about what might happen today. The emperor will let him attend the court, what are he going to do?

It was already at this time, and the emperor had not yet come to court.

There's something weird about this.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Not long after, a sharp but loud voice came.

Everyone looked towards the entrance of the hall and saw Ying Jiuxiao, wearing a black crown and twelve crowns on his head, striding into the hall with his hand on his sword. Today's Ying Jiuxiao has a cold and solemn expression. As soon as you enter the main hall, you will feel chilled.

He strode forward, sat directly above him, and all the officials saluted.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

Wang Shun stood beside Ying Jiuxiao, shook his fly whisk, and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

In the main hall, a middle-aged official stood up.

The visitor's name was Ling Tong, who served as the Minister of Rites in the court and was a powerful official in the Ministry of Rites.

Ling Tong bowed and said: "As the new year approaches, we need to prepare for the New Year's ceremony. The Ministry of Rites has drawn up a memorial and needs to purchase various supplies. Please approve it."

He handed over the memorial directly.

Ying Jiuxiao glanced at it, took a rough look, and said: "I'm sure, the Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate funds directly."

"I obey the decree."

Wang Tang opened his mouth to answer.

One after another, courtiers came to report. They were all daily government affairs of the court and did not involve other matters. After a large number of daily affairs were dealt with, there were fewer people presenting, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually changed.

Lin Feng has been quietly observing the changes and has never expressed his position. He has never participated in Da Qin's court meetings, nor has he served in the court, so he has nothing to report.

Lin Feng also felt the change in the atmosphere.

He knew it was coming, and someone might impeach him. Otherwise, the emperor won't win Jiuxiao, and he will be notified specifically. Just deal with this matter in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

At this moment, a censor from the censor station stood up.

This man's name was Gao Yuan. He was holding a wat tablet and had a solemn expression. He glanced at Lin Feng as he walked, then stood in the center of the hall and saluted Ying Jiuxiao respectfully.

Ying Jiuxiao's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "What's the matter?"

Gao Yuan solemnly said: "My minister, Gao Yuan, impeached Lin Feng, the marquis of Zhenguo, killed people wantonly, and killed the great Qin heroes in vain. It is said that yesterday afternoon, Lin Feng led people to break into the Yiguo Duke's mansion, killed Yiguo Duke Yin Ziying, and even massacred Yiguo. The whole house is full of public servants.”

"Following that, Lin Feng massacred the Zhao family and Cui family in Xianyang, killing more than 60 direct members of the three families."

"Such actions can be described as unparalleled tyranny and heinousness. Although Lin Feng, the Marquis of Zhenguo, has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, his past achievements are not what he can rely on to act tyrannically. Just because he has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, he cannot be unscrupulous."

Gao Yuan bowed again and said: "Your Majesty, please clarify the canonical punishment to appease people's hearts. Otherwise, people in the Qin Dynasty will definitely be in panic."

"Wow!!"

There was an uproar in the main hall.

Many people started talking.

But more people had curiosity in their eyes, wanting to see how the emperor would deal with this matter?

The news of Lin Feng's murder has spread in Xianyang City. Every minister in the court has his own personal connections, and almost all of them know about it. Moreover, yesterday afternoon, the emperor also dealt with the three major families and directly exiled them.

But everyone knows that Ying Ziying and others are just pawns and not worth mentioning.

What is truly fundamental is the reform of sharing the land with the land.

No one knows how far this kind of thing will develop in the end.

It is foreseeable that today's impeachment will inevitably lead to major conflicts.

Ying Jiuxiao heard Gao Yuan's words and glanced at Lin Feng, but did not express his position. He said solemnly: "I have already learned about the matter involving Lin Feng. What I know is that everyone, including Ying Ziying, has arranged for people to Rob and kill the Lin family."

Since Gao Yuan stood up, he was not afraid to argue. He said forcefully: "Your Majesty, Ying Ziying and other family members arranged for people to rob and kill the Lin family. They were just robberies and killings, but they never succeeded. However, Lin Feng often killed people in his family, and things happened It’s completely different.”

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

Another person stood up. This person was Cui Fu, a member of the Ministry of Rites, a member of the Cui family.

However, it is not of the same lineage as Cui An.

Cui Fu stared at Lin Feng and said forcefully: "Lin Feng is so vicious, violent and cruel. If we don't deal with him today, I'm afraid he will cause even greater trouble in the future. If we don't deal with such a person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm the hearts of the people."

"Your Majesty, I also second the proposal."

Among the household members, another person stood up.

This man's name is Jiang Pu, who is also the censor of Yushitai. He said righteously: "Lin Feng's behavior is so bad that it has never been seen before. I believe that the punishment must be clarified. Otherwise, Lin Feng will be even more difficult to contain in the future." . If Lin Feng’s behavior is followed by others, the Qin Dynasty will be in turmoil. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

One by one, the courtiers stood up and wanted to deal with Lin Feng.

All of them were aggressive.

Lin Feng glanced at it and saw that there were as many as nine ministers standing up. Of course, these people are not ministers of various ministries, and they are not even ministers of various ministries. These people are the backbone of various ministries and influential ministers in the court.

Lin Feng's expression remained calm, and there was no trace of panic on his face.

Ying Jiuxiao sat upright, watching the scene happening in front of him, and said slowly: "Lin Feng, what do you want to say about this matter?"

Lin Feng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, everything I did was done in an upright and upright manner, and I did not act arbitrarily. I, Lin Feng, have a humble life. After all, my wife is also the princess of Da Qin. To kidnap and kill the princess of Da Qin is... What crime?"

"For such a serious crime, it is not an exaggeration to punish the three clans. In addition, the Cui family, the Zhao family and the Yiguo government are suspected of murdering people and occupying land, suspected of bribing officials, and suspected of betraying the country and selling intelligence. They should be executed. I have a response. Please read the evidence of crime, Your Majesty."

Immediately, Lin Feng took out the memorial from his sleeve.

This is the information Yingsan prepared for Lin Feng. Lin Feng specially copied it yesterday. He killed someone, so the matter cannot be settled, and it will inevitably cause turmoil. So Lin Feng prepared the information early and submitted it now.

There was a smile on Ying Jiuxiao's eyebrows.

This guy Lin Feng.

In one sentence, he said a different result.

Kill the princess!

This is a mortal sin.

The Cui family and other three major families have committed many crimes, and Lin Feng still has evidence of the crime, so it will be easier to handle.

Ying Jiuxiao took it and took a look.

He nodded slightly.

Obviously, the information submitted by Lin Feng was approved.

Gao Yuan was dissatisfied. He was always shrewd and said quickly: "Your Majesty, even if the Cui family and others are guilty of robbing the princess, even if they are guilty. But Lin Feng is good at committing suicide, and this should not be the case. If someone commits a crime, it should naturally be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. Lin Feng shouldn't be put on trial and executed. If everyone is like this, wouldn't it be chaos?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was impeaching Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

well said!

This is really well said.

Cui Fu stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal. The Qin Dynasty has its own laws. When the courtiers and the people commit crimes, the court arranges the punishment. How can it be handled by others? It cannot be handled without authorization. Otherwise, the Qin Dynasty will be in chaos. Trapped."

The rest of the people spoke out one by one, all with cold expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to take down Lin Feng.

They are all from Lu Yi's side and from a big family, and they are all unwilling to implement the idea of ​​sharing the land between one person and one person. Now that Lin Feng is killing people, they must unite together and overthrow Lin Feng.

These people looked at Lin Feng with even more pride in their eyes.

Let’s see how Lin Feng argues?

When Ying Jiuxiao heard this, he sneered in his heart. The reason why these people spared no effort to criticize was not because Lin Feng had committed any serious crime, nor was it because Lin Feng was good at killing people. These are just superficial reasons.

The real reason is that Lin Feng leveraged the interests of these big families.

This is the fundamental.

Ying Jiuxiao looked around at everyone and said calmly: "Lin Feng killed Ying Ziying, Cui An, and Zhao Pingcheng, and destroyed the three families. It was originally arranged by me. I gave Lin Feng the Black Dragon Order, and he went to Heibingtai to make adjustments. Human actions. The three major families deserve what they deserve. Moreover, they further dealt with it afterwards and exiled the three major families. All this was authorized by me. Could it be that my words don’t work? "

Wow! !

There was impetuous discussion in the main hall.

Gao Yuan, Cui Fu and others were all confused. The emperor directly supported Lin Feng, saying that this was the emperor's arrangement? It also involves the Black Dragon Order and the Black Ice Platform. It's all in good shape. How to impeach it?

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Lin Feng was grateful, and there was no need for Ying Jiuxiao to say anything to him. Not only kings and ministers, but also elders. The situation is actually unfavorable, and Ying Jiuxiao can completely confirm it with just one sentence.

Do you want to impeach Lin Feng for taking action without authorization?

This is the emperor's arrangement.

what would you do?

Gao Yuan was unwilling to give in. If he let Lin Feng go now, it would be too difficult to deal with Lin Feng in the future.

This time, it's an excellent opportunity.

Gao Yuan gritted his teeth and risked his life. Even facing the emperor, Gao Yuan said forcefully: "Your Majesty, Lin Feng broke the law and should be punished accordingly. Your Majesty is covering up. This is not a good phenomenon. For Da Qin, it is destroying the justice of Da Qin's laws. . For Lin Feng himself, it only fuels his arrogance to commit crimes. I have the courage to speak out, and please give your Majesty a clear warning."

There was silence in the main hall.

Everyone had a look of shock on their faces.

Gao Yuan was so brave that he dared to speak directly. You know, the emperor made it clear that he wanted to support Lin Feng, and Gao Yuan still wanted to give advice.

Cui Fu stood up, and he also said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal. For the sake of Great Qin and Lin Feng, we should not increase his arrogance like this."

Cui Fu is a smart man, and he knows that what he is doing now is touching the tiger's butt.

This is the most dangerous thing.

However, he did it anyway.

This is a battle of interests. If we don’t fight now, who else would dare to deal with Lin Feng? The policy of apportioning a small person to an acre is even more difficult to stop. If we want to abolish the system of assigning farmers to farm acres, we must first capture Lin Feng. Only when Lin Feng falls can we further criticize the policy of spreading farmers to farm acres.

This is an argument from both sides.

You cannot retreat even if you are in danger.

The other officials also stood up one after another, including Gao Yuan, and none of the nine ministers of the court backed down.

They all spoke righteously and wanted to deal with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at this scene with cold eyes but a sneer in his heart. The emperor wanted to protect Lin Feng, but these people also wanted to force Ying Jiuxiao. With Ying Jiuxiao's strength and attitude, it is impossible to give in.

Have you ever seen Ying Jiuxiao give in?

These people are asking for death.

Lin Feng stood quietly and did not speak again. Although the point of conflict in the current fight is Lin Feng's murder, in fact, the essence is already a fight for the implementation of the policy of dividing one person into another. This is the basis of the fight to the death.

Everything at the moment is left to Ying Jiuxiao to handle.

Lin Feng just needs to watch.
