"I have this memorial."
This sound was so sudden that everyone was caught off guard. No matter Emperor Jiajing or the civil and military officials, they were not prepared.
It turned out to be Shen Lian!
Seeing the man who stood up to perform, Zhu Pingan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Zhu Ping'an knew that Shen Lian's letter was written within the past year or two in history, but he did not expect that Shen Lian would submit the letter today. I originally wanted to remind Shen Lian through an anonymous letter or other means, but I didn't expect that Shen Lian would submit a letter today.
Well
Could it be that Shen Lian forced Yan Shifan to drink under the influence of alcohol that night, and when he got home and sobered up, he was a little confused. He didn't expect that he would do such a thing to Yan Shifan. Thinking about the vindictive nature of Yan Song and his son, he Why don't you just keep doing nothing and write a memorial?
In fact, the facts are similar to what Zhu Pingan guessed.
However, this drinking incident was just a trigger. Shen Lian had already written to Emperor Jiajing to reveal the true identity of Yan Song and his son. This incident of drinking happened, and Shen Lian was worried that he would not have a chance if he did not write a letter to expose Yan Song and his son. So he simply went home and started writing the memorial materials under the influence of alcohol. He closed the door and thanked guests. He wrote with concentration for three days, revised and revised, revised and revised, and worked hard, and finally finished the memorial before going to court.
After taking a bath and burning incense, making arrangements for his wife and children, and ordering a thin coffin for himself, Shen Lian went straight to the court.
Some things always have to be done by someone!
Silence cannot solve the problem. Every day of silence is a day of being an accomplice of the thief!
Since all the ministers and ministers have turned a blind eye and said nothing, let me, Shen Lian, do the work!
"I have this note!"
Shen Lian stood up in astonishment and sang the memorial with great enthusiasm, filling the entire court with a sense of awe and righteousness.
Lu Bing, who was standing in the front row of officials, was also surprised by this announcement from his valued subordinate. He didn't know why Shen Lian didn't say hello to him in advance and wanted to write a letter to express his opinions. Although I didn't know why Shen Lian wanted to submit a letter, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
"What do you want to do?" Emperor Jiajing looked down at Shen Lian. He asked with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Song, the great scholar, is a traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people. Please punish Yan Song!" Shen Lian knelt down and folded the memorial on the small yellow door, then pointed at Yan Song with his head held high. Every word is bloody.
As soon as Shen Lian said this, the whole court was in an uproar. All civil and military officials were stunned, and Yan Song was also a little unexpected. Shen Lian, a petty official, was so embarrassed. How dare you say that you are a traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people!
"Do you know that sin comes from your mouth?" Emperor Jiajing took the memorial from Xiaohuangmen and looked at Shen Lian and asked.
"I know that there is a traitor in the court, but I have to speak out." Shen Lian stood calmly and replied loudly, "Today the thief Song has committed ten major crimes, and he must be punished for his crimes!"
"Yesterday, when I was disobedient, Your Majesty was vigorously displaying his martial arts and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make an expedition to the north. This is what all the civil and military ministers are willing to do. However, victory must first be achieved in the temple. The temple must first eradicate evil and evil from the world, and then pacify the foreign invaders. Today, Song, a great scholar, has a greedy nature that is terminally ill, and a foolish and despicable heart that is as stubborn as stone. When the master is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, he will not visit the wise men and ask for advice on strategies, but will make plans with his sons. Loyalty and planning will lead to There are many ways to discourage them, but flattery leads to them. They want to bribe officials and pay favors to make friends. The court rewards one person and (Yan Song) says: "I will reward him"; he punishes one person. (Yan Song) says: "I punish him. '. Everyone is following the Yan family's love and hate, but they don't know the kindness and power of the court, so they can't bear to say anything! Let's take the most serious crime. Accept bribes from generals to start provocations on the border. One. Accept all. The king's legacy, everything is underworld, the second is. Taking over the power of the official department, even the small officials in the state and county also take the goods, causing great harm to the officialdom, the third is. Asking for the rules of the year. There will be successors. Feng, and the wealth of Luyan is dwindling day by day, four. The Yin restrains the admonishing officials, so that they dare not speak out, five. Jealousy of the wise and capable, and one who disobeys his will will lead to death, six. The son of a man accepts wealth and gathers resentment. In the world, there are seven categories. Bringing wealth back home, and the moon and the sun are not empty, causing troubles on the road, eight categories. Living in the government for a long time, and being good at favoring and harming the government, nine categories. Not being able to conspire with heaven, causing worries to the king and father, ten categories. "
Shen Lian raised his head, pointed at Yan Song, filled with anger and indignation, and listed Yan Song's ten crimes one by one.
Each and every one of the ten crimes is heart-breaking, all pointing directly at what Yan Song did. As a party involved, Yan Song knew very well that except for a few far-fetched charges, most of the ten charges were true.
However, Yan Song was not worried at all, his expression remained unchanged, and he looked at Shen Lian calmly, as if Shen Lian was not venting his anger on him.
Indeed, Yan Song was unexpected and even worried when he first heard Shen Lian say that he was a traitor who had brought disaster to the country and the people. Yan Song thought that Shen Lian had caught something fatal about him.
However, after listening to Shen Lian's memorial, Yan Song was not worried at all.
I will reward you, I will punish you, everyone will follow my likes and dislikes, but they don’t know the kindness and power of the court... Hehe, Shen Lian, Shen Lian, you are still too young. Are you calling me, Yan Song, Cao Cao, or are you calling His Majesty the incompetent Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?
Sure enough, almost as soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, without Yan Song saying anything, Emperor Jiajing on the dragon throne became angry.
"That's nonsense!" Emperor Jiajing was furious and threw Shen Lian's memorial to the ground. "Last year, you acted recklessly in the Jinluan Palace and ignored the etiquette of people and ministers. I think you violated the law for the first time. Today you are trying to falsely accuse and slander the minister. , for your name. If everyone were like you, wouldn’t it mean that the whole court would be in chaos!"
"Your Majesty, everything I said comes from the bottom of my heart. Your Majesty, please investigate carefully." Shen Lian knelt down and kowtowed hard to the ground. A trace of blood instantly appeared on his forehead.
You speak from the bottom of your heart, does that mean that I, Jiajing, am blind? !
"How outrageous!" Emperor Jiajing was furious. "You and I will fight with you twenty times, and we will put you in jail, and you will be punished on a certain day!"
Emperor Jiajing was angry. No one dared to come forward to persuade him. Only a few of the civil and military officials said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Soon, several imperial guards dragged Shen Lian out, ignoring his shouting, "Your Majesty, please listen to me, please punish Yan Song, Your Majesty."
When Shen Lian was pulled out, Yan Shifan winked at the guards and signaled him to beat him to death when the imperial staff was used. Fortunately, Shen Lian was a Jin Yiwei, and Lu Bing also said hello when the Jin Yiwei used the imperial staff. , the Jin Yiwei who executed the blow only really hit him three times, then changed the force and hit it a little lighter. On the outside, it looked like the skin was torn, but in fact, the muscles and bones were not hurt on the inside.
After dealing with Shen Lian, Jiajing went down to court angrily, followed by all the civil and military officials. After leaving the main hall, a large number of civil and military officials gathered around Yan Song and his son, helping Yan Song "fight the injustice."
Seeing Shen Lian covered in blood being escorted to the prison by the Jinyi Guards, Zhu Pingan couldn't come to his senses for a long time, until a young eunuch told Zhu Pingan that the emperor had invited him.
The civil and military officials watched the young eunuch lead Zhu Ping'an away without any surprise.
Because according to custom, after the number one scholar goes to court to express gratitude on behalf of the Jinshi, he will be summoned by the emperor alone. (To be continued.)
