Ying Jiuxiao's expression became increasingly cold and murderous, giving people a chilling feeling. He looked at the leader, Gao Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "I have already said that it is my arrangement to kill Ying Ziying, Cui An and Zhao Pingcheng. You, Gao Yuan, still think that I am covering up."
"Could it be that things in this world are just as you think they are?"
"My words are of no use."
"Or maybe this is your lofty and consistent style of behavior, which only allows the existence of things you agree with. Anything you don't agree with is heresy. Anything you don't agree with can't be brought out, and it is guilty."
Words are like daggers, they are words that cut into the heart.
The emperor's words were aggressive.
thump!
Gao Yuan knelt on the ground and said directly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I want to question it. It's just that Lin Feng's behavior clearly meant that he killed without authorization. Moreover, when he killed someone, he did not say that it was authorized by His Majesty, and he just killed him directly. To say that it was Your Majesty. The arrangement is unconvincing.”
Ying Jiuxiao said forcefully: "Lin Feng has the Black Dragon Order, which was given by me. Only the Black Dragon Order can mobilize the people of the Black Ice Platform. Do you think Lin Feng can mobilize the Black Ice Platform without my nod? Are you a brainiac? I’m confused, but I’m still pretending not to understand.”
"What you said about Lin Feng doesn't count."
"You question whether I authorize it."
"I doubt that it is difficult for someone like you to impeach someone who is not upright. If you want to impeach hundreds of officials, you have to pick up officials. At least you have to be upright in order to be convincing. Even you are a hypocrite, deceiving superiors and deceiving subordinates. , Flattery, profit-driven, how can you have the face to impeach Lin Feng?"
Ying Jiuxiao's words were filled with murderous intent.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged."
A trace of nervousness arose in Gao Yuan's heart. Why did the emperor suddenly change the topic to his problem?
There's something weird about this.
It was impossible for Gao Yuan to admit it. He held his head high and said loudly: "I serve your Majesty, I have always been impartial and law-abiding, and I have always abided by the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty. I cannot agree with your Majesty's words. I will not admit anything I have never done. Please Your Majesty is aware of this."
Ying Jiuxiao's eyes were sharp and he said: "If you say no, then there is no?"
boom! !
Gao Yuan was a little confused.
He even felt a little dizzy. The emperor was deliberately targeting him. Wouldn't it mean nothing if you said no?
How does he explain it?
If the emperor doesn't trust him, no explanation will be in vain.
Gao Yuan came to his senses. Although the emperor was targeting him, Gao Yuan could not give in. When it comes to conflicts of interest, there is no room for retreat.
Gao Yuan stiffened his neck and continued: "Your Majesty, I am not guilty and have not admitted my guilt. How can I admit it just because of your Majesty's words? If your Majesty wants to do this, I can only crash and die in this hall. To prove myself.”
The ministers tried their best to kill him based on their reasons. This was a big problem and could affect the emperor's reputation.
Lin Feng saw it and laughed in his heart.
The more Gao Yuan behaves like this, the worse the result will be. If he fights with the emperor, he is seeking death.
The emperor Ying Jiuxiao was not a weak emperor. Ying Jiuxiao was far more powerful than the emperors of Jin and Qi. Ying Jiuxiao has been in power for decades, not only because of his governance ability and prestige, but also his iron-blooded methods.
Ying Jiuxiao sneered, picked up a volume of documents from the desk, threw it down, and ordered: "Take a good look at it yourself."
boom!
The document fell to the ground.
The fall of this document caused everyone in the hall to become quiet, and there was no more sound.
Everyone's eyes focused on Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan was a little panicked.
What's happening here?
Today's changes seem to be beyond his expectations. Gao Yuan bent down and picked up the paperwork on the ground. He opened the file and looked at it. His eyes widened and a look of horror appeared on his face.
Kick! Kick!
Gao Yuan took two steps back, looking extremely panicked. The documents are full of problems committed by the Gao family, and they are all evidence of guilt. There are Gao Yuan's sons who do evil wantonly, bully others, and kill traders and people; there are also Gao Yuan's wives who use Gao Yuan's identity to seek benefits for their natal family and arrange officials for their natal family; there are even Gao Yuan himself who accepts bribes and gives bribes. Shangguan's.
Many incriminating evidences are listed clearly one by one. Even the time and place are very clear.
Under this premise, how can Gao Yuan argue?
Can't argue with that.
thump!
Gao Yuan knelt on the ground again. He was panicked at this moment and knocked his head on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Previously, it was he who impeached Lin Feng.
Now, he was suddenly in trouble. One piece of evidence after another made all his words and accusations lose their support.
Ying Jiuxiao said disdainfully: "You just said that I was slandering you and framed you, and you were going to die in this hall. Now, there are a total of nineteen crimes committed by Gao Yuan, and each one is a serious crime. Even There is no shortage of serious crimes such as beheading.”
"Come on, show me how to crash to death in the main hall."
"You come from a censorship, and you have to be upright to be able to impeach people. Your butt is crooked, you are corrupt and perverting the law, and you still want to impeach people? Who knows if you have been paid to deliberately kill people."
"A person like you is just a rat. If you are so popular in the court, it will harm our country, the Qin Dynasty."
"You deserve death."
Yesterday, Ying Jiuxiao asked Ying San to investigate Lu Yi and the other three. By following the clues from Lu Yi and others, we can clearly investigate the surrounding relationship network of Lu Yi and the others. With this situation confirmed, it would be easier to continue investigating the surrounding area.
Heibingtai's intelligence network makes it easy to check these situations.
Gao Yuan was completely confused.
The emperor was so well prepared that he even had evidence of his crime already and was waiting for him to take the bait. Gao Yuan was desperate. At this point, there was no room for turning around. He knocked his head on the ground and said, "I am guilty, and I will die to apologize."
He stood up and directly hit the beam of the hall on the side.
boom! !
A dull crashing sound was heard.
Gao Yuan's forehead was bleeding and he was killed in an instant. His body went limp and he had lost his breath.
After Lin Feng saw it, a smile bloomed on his lips.
Are these people going to impeach him?
It's a pity that these people's butts are crooked, so how can they impeach them? These people were not qualified to put him to death.
Ying Jiuxiao was not satisfied, so he continued: "Gao Yuan has committed nineteen major crimes. The evidence of these crimes must be made public. He committed suicide in the main hall out of fear of crime. His death was not a pity. His family violated the law and discipline. We need to investigate clearly and find out who should be held accountable and who should be punished. Let the Ministry of Punishment be responsible for this matter."
"I obey the decree."
Lu Liuhe, the Minister of Punishment, stood up and answered respectfully.
In the main hall, discussions began to take place.
The expressions on everyone's faces were a bit horrified. Gao Yuan was already dead, and the emperor's treatment needed to be further investigated. It was clear that he wanted to kill someone with a heart-breaking purpose. Even if Gao Yuan dies, Gao Yuan will completely lose his reputation and become a treacherous minister who is corrupt and perverts the law.
This is Gao Yuan’s final conclusion.
Ying Jiuxiao turned his eyes and said: "Cui Fu!"
"I'm here!"
Cui Fu stood up. At this moment, he was frightened and completely panicked. Gao Yuan learned from the past and he was completely afraid. He was even worried about being punished.
After all, Cui Fu is not clean either.
Officials from a big family like him have certain limitations. The family provides resources and supports you to rise to power. If you don’t give feedback to the family, are you still a member of the family? Is it worthy of the family? There's nothing we can do about it.
Ying Jiuxiao picked up a file from the desk, threw it on the ground, and said, "Here, take a closer look."
Gudong!
Cui Fu was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva.
He looked at the files on the ground, and his heart began to beat loudly.
At this moment, Cui Fu was anxious. He could only pick it up and look at it. He was dumbfounded.
This is a crime involving him.
thump!
Cui Fu knelt on the ground, knelt on the ground with his head, and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Ying Jiuxiao ignored Cui Fu and glanced at the other seven people involved in Lin Feng's impeachment. He pulled out the files from the desk one by one and threw them on the ground. These people were all horrified, and they all knelt on the ground in panic.
This was because Ying Jiuxiao was stunned.
They came aggressively, intending to overthrow Lin Feng. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng was safe here, and Ying Jiuxiao had a big killer weapon in his hands.
All failed.
All have to be dealt with.
Ying Jiuxiao looked at the eight people kneeling on the ground with some regret. He thought more people would come, but unfortunately there were only so many people.
Kill less.
Ying Jiuxiao looked dark and calm, and continued: "Lu Liuhe, all the personnel will be jailed and questioned. According to their crimes, they will be killed if they should be killed, and their homes will be confiscated and exiled if they should be."
"I obey the decree."
Lu Liuhe answered again.
He looked at Cui Fu and others kneeling on the ground and sneered in his heart. These people were seeking death by trying to fight with the emperor.
He is knowledgeable about the emperor's methods.
Fight with the emperor and seek death.
Ying Jiuxiao flicked his sleeves, and soldiers entered, dragging Cui Fu and eight others down. Ying Jiuxiao looked at the other civil and military officials in the court and asked: "Do you have any other opinions? Should you continue to impeach Lin Feng for committing murder?"
"I have no objection."
Some officials were frightened and expressed their opinions directly. If they want to get involved at this time, they are seeking death.
"I have no objection."
"I have no objection."
One by one, theatergoers stood up and expressed their opinions. They were frightened by the scene just now. The emperor made it clear that he wanted to support Lin Feng. Anyone who impeached Lin Feng had corresponding evidence.
Even, the evidence is conclusive.
I'm afraid this evidence involves more people than just these people.
If the emperor only wanted to protect Lin Feng, that would be it. The problem is that the emperor fully supports Lin Feng with one hand and has evidence of the courtiers' crimes with the other hand. Who is willing to impeach Lin Feng at the cost of death?
If we continue to spread the idea of sharing every acre, we will only lose a little money.
To impeach Lin Feng again would be a loss of head.
Ying Jiuxiao nodded, looked at Lin Feng, and said solemnly: "Lin Feng, these people have been dealt with, what do you think?"
Lin Feng bowed and bowed, and said sincerely: "There is no wiser person than Your Majesty. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness. After what happened this time, I think there is something that must be mentioned."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "What's the matter?"
Lin Feng said: "The person taking the lead this time is Gao Yuan from the Yushitai. He comes from the Yushitai, especially the impeachment of hundreds of officials in the Yushitai. He has always heard about the impeachment. If he hears the slightest rumor or hearsay, he will Anyone can be impeached."
"Even impeachment of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government is not out of the question. This is the source of the fight."
"The original intention of establishing the Yushitai was to monitor all officials so that they would not dare to overstep the mark, let alone slack off. But today's Yushitai, based on a little bit of gossip, can impeach without permission, and even impeach without hesitation. To become a weapon in the hands of others, to criticize others.”
"I thought it was very inappropriate."
"The Yushitai is His Majesty's Yushitai, how can it be reduced to a tool for others to use? Therefore, if the Yushitai wants to impeach someone, there must be conclusive evidence. Impeaching someone without detailed evidence is a sign of party unity and opposition. Criticizing people at will will only disrupt the imperial court and become a troublemaker in the court."
Lin Fengdao: "I suggest that there must be conclusive evidence for Yushitai's impeachment. Otherwise, if you slander someone casually, you will be held accountable."
After hearing this, every official in the hall's eyes shone.
The people in the Yushitai are very annoying. Many times the officials in the Yushitai don't like people, so they impeach them. Even if you want to deal with someone, you can also find reasons to impeach him.
This is disgusting.
Although the authority of the Yushitai is not very important in the court, it cannot be ignored. Lin Feng's suggestion will inevitably weaken Yushitai.
When the people at the Yushitai heard the news, they all frowned and looked at Lin Feng with some hostility.
The power of Yushitai was greatly reduced.
This is not allowed.
Yue Xin, the imperial censor, stepped forward. He was over fifty years old and had always kept a low profile in the court. It is true that the remaining officials of Yushitai are quite high-profile, and many people impeach court officials. But with Yue Xin, he didn't get involved at all.
If he didn't express his position, Yushitai would be safe. The following Yushitai officials only represent themselves.
This time, Yue Xin couldn't sit still.
Once the Yushitai is restricted, the authority of the Yushitai will be greatly reduced.
Yue Xin bowed his hands to Ying Jiuxiao and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I, the Yushitai, always act impartially. Even when the Yushitai hears and reports, it is also the Yushitai's right. If the Yushitai is abolished, the impeachment The rights of officials cannot deter hundreds of officials. The Yushitai has also lost its meaning. Your Majesty, please think twice."
Ying Jiuxiao stroked his beard and said directly without expressing his position: "Lin Feng, what do you think?"
Lin Feng chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, I think Yue Yushi's words are biased. The Yushitai is a sword in your Majesty's hand. It is a sharp sword hanging above the heads of all officials, so that all officials dare not act recklessly. , there is no doubt about it.”
"As long as the Yushitai is there, this effect will exist. It's just that it's not the case for most of the Yushitai. Most of the officials who impeach are out of utilitarian motives, or even want to be famous. Doing so will only disrupt the imperial court and become a problem for you. I will make your fortune fair."
"For example, when I was impeached this time, people from Yushitai accounted for the main part. Then, people from various ministries participated. Such impeachments are all driven by interests. Have they considered for the country? They have never considered for the court, and they have never considered for the Qin Dynasty. Thinking about it, just thinking about protecting your own interests.”
"Furthermore, Yue Yushi mentioned that abolishing Feng Wen Zou Shi would result in the loss of the authority of the Yushitai, and I don't agree with it."
"With the abolition of rumors and memorials, won't the Yushitai be able to impeach people?"
"It's still possible."
Lin Feng talks eloquently without any stage fright.
He has seen many such debates.
Lin Feng looked at Yue Xin and continued: "Whether the Yushitai can eliminate harm for the country does not depend on the rumors. It depends on whether the people of the Yushitai are willing to investigate. Once you get the news, you can If you just keep the news and don’t investigate or visit, then what’s the point of the news?”
"If it's true, that's it."
"If that's not true, wouldn't the person you impeached be wronged?"
"In fact, today's reform is to force the people in Yushitai not to be arrogant and ignore the sufferings of the people. Don't just listen to what others say and rush to impeach people, so that they become a knife in the hands of others and are used to kill people. .”
"Only when you understand and understand the ins and outs of the matter can you speak meaningfully and truly impeach."
"This is the real Yushitai."
"It's not like now, where you just hear about something and impeach someone at random. In my opinion, this kind of impeachment has no basis at all. It makes the people in the hall like a shrew scolding the streets. It's just to disrupt the court, and it's just a troublemaker."
His tone was extremely sharp.
He didn't save any face for Yue Xin.
Gao Yuan stood up to impeach, could you, Yue Xin, not know? Even if you don't know that Gao Yuan has expressed his stance, it is inappropriate for you to just sit back and watch like a Bodhisattva.
Does Lin Feng not care about Yue Xin?
He only talks about his attitude.
Yue Xin listened to Lin Feng's words and sighed in his heart, thinking about what to do about this matter.
You can't just let it be arranged like this.
When Yue Xin was thinking about how to solve the problem, Wang Tang stood up and said with cupped hands: "On the Yushitai side, the Yushitai side should be restricted, and we can't just impeach indiscriminately. The power of hearing about the matter needs to be Cancellation. To impeach someone, there must be detailed evidence. If there is no evidence, it is false accusation and slander."
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."
Yan Du, Minister of the Ministry of War, then expressed his position.
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."
One by one, the courtiers expressed their stance, including the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Guozi Jijiu, the Minister of Punishment, and the Minister of Industry. Even Zhang Yi, the head of the six ministers, also stood up and expressed his stance. Zhang Yi is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. After he expressed his stance, Yue Xin was completely confused.
This is a wall that everyone pushes against.
The power of Yushitai was completely weakened.
Yue Xin's head was even more helpless, damn Gao Yuan. This bastard caused great harm to the people of Yushitai because of his dealings with Lin Feng.
