Gao Gong did not answer Liu Yao's question, but instead asked Liu Yao: "I have been punished for this matter, and thanks to the kindness, generosity and respect for the old minister, I have been given the title of Sangong and become a member of the Council. I am grateful. If not, I can only devote myself to death and do my best for you! But, why did you bring up this matter again?"
Gao Gong said and asked Liu Yao: "Do you want to force me to hang myself to apologize?!"
Liu Yao didn't expect Gao Gong to blame himself for being troublesome.
"Liu Aiqing, why is there nothing in your letter? It's just a piece of paper!"
When Zhu Yijun saw Gao Gong asking Liu Yao this, he also asked about Liu Yao.
After hearing this, Liu Yao suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, how can this be a piece of paper?"
"This is a piece of paper!"
Zhu Yijun said and slapped the imperial edict with heavy evidence of guilt.
"this……"
Liu Yan was stunned.
The emperor was so overbearing and arrogant, and he couldn't say anything.
"snort!"
Zhu Yijun then stood up and asked Liu Yao: "You destroyed Jingyan without telling me, and you falsely accused my husband and the general of Bianzhen for nothing, and you also maliciously stirred up the old grudge between the Taifu and my husband. Are you deceiving me as a coward?! "
"Sir, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Zhu Yijun asked about Zhang Juzheng at this time.
Zhang Juzheng, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but show joy when he heard Zhu Yijun asked why Liu Yao's evidence was a piece of paper.
He was willing to see the emperor using his domineering skills.
At this time, Zhu Yijun asked him, and he stood up cooperatively.
But when Zhang Juzheng was about to speak, Liu Yao suddenly rushed over, knelt in front of Zhang Juzheng, hugged Zhang Juzheng's feet, and cried:
"Teacher, the student is wrong!"
"Students should not treat you like this. Please have mercy and spare the student's life. I promise that I will never dare to do this again!"
"Teacher, the student admits that the student is still not as good as you!"
"Really, the students are completely convinced this time!"
"I really don't dare to have any second thoughts about you anymore! Woohoo!"
Zhang Juzheng directly pulled his feet into Liu Yao's arms: "Liu Zanshan, what crazy talk are you talking about? You are a minister of the Ming Dynasty, not a servant of the servant!"
Liu Yao grabbed Zhang Juzheng's feet with all his strength and said, "Teacher, please be accommodating! Students really don't dare to do it anymore, woo hoo!"
"Jinyiwei!"
Zhu Yijun gave an order at this time.
The two Han generals went out to listen to the order.
Zhu Yijun then ordered: "Pull the person away! What kind of behavior is there on Jingyan!"
"yes!"
The two Han generals forcibly pulled Liu Yao away and held him in place.
Only then did Zhang Juzheng, who was saved, have the opportunity to report: "Your Majesty, please tell Liu Zanshan, the official, to guard the prison in Jinyi, and then order the three judicial departments to conduct a joint trial."
"Accurate!"
Zhu Yijun replied and said: "Let Liu Yao be sent to the Jinyi Guard Prison first! In addition, no one will mention the mistakes made by Taifu Gao in the past in the future. If anyone mentions it again, he will be dealt with severely!"
All the ministers hurriedly said that they obeyed the order, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The civil servants who can appear in Jingyan are basically Zhang Juzheng's cronies and do not want Zhang Juzheng to fall.
These people also hope that Zhang Juzheng’s clean-up will not really tear down his own fundamentals, and will not even implement the New Deal, or even maintain the economic extension.
There was a lecturer who cared about Jing Yan very much, and even at this moment, he looked at Liu Yao with disgust.
Because Liu Yao destroyed the Jingyan system and set a precedent for Jingyan to tell other people's affairs, it would not only easily make the emperor dislike Jingyan, but also affect other lecturers to show their knowledge in front of the emperor.
Of course, there are also people who disagree with Zhang Juzheng's appearance, but it's even harder for such people to say anything at this time.
Therefore, not a single civil servant present came out to intercede for Liu Yao, and they all just sat back and watched as the Jin Yiwei dragged him down.
When Liu Yao was dragged down by Jin Yiwei, he was still struggling for his life and suddenly cursed at Gao Gong:
"Gao Gong! Why are you so greedy for life and afraid of death? Where has your old temperament gone?!"
"Or, you have already colluded with Zhang Juzheng. Are you worthy of His Majesty like this?!"
"You shameless person, what kind of veteran are you? You are an old and cunning minister!"
Liu Yao scolded Gao Gong. Seeing that Gao Gong remained indifferent, he simply shouted to Zhu Yijun:
"Your Majesty! Although Zhang Juzheng has great power, even Gao Gong is afraid of him, there is no need for you to be afraid of him, or even deny the existence of evidence of Zhang Juzheng's crime!"
"Your Majesty, the world has not reached the time when Zhang Juzheng can change his life!"
"Your Majesty, there are still many people in the world who are loyal to you. Please don't be afraid of Zhang Juzheng and give him an iron fist!"
"Your Majesty, in the past, you were able to kill Gao Gong with a single edict, and you can also kill Zhang Juzheng with a single edict today!"
"Your Majesty, why should you be afraid? And let yourself be known as a coward!"
Liu Yao didn’t know Zhu Yijun very well.
It can also be said that after so many years, from the first year of Wanli to the present sixth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun's good performance during Yu Jingyanhe's lectures still deceived civil servants like Liu Yao.
He still feels that Zhu Yijun forcibly determined that the evidence he provided was a piece of paper because he was afraid of Zhang Juzheng and did not dare to touch Zhang Juzheng.
Therefore, Liu Yao was still trying to persuade Zhu Yijun not to be afraid of Zhang Juzheng.
Zhu Yijun ignored Liu Yao and only ordered: "Continue to do Yan."
However, in the following Jingyan, both the emperor and the ministers were a little absent-minded, their thoughts were on whether Liu Yao would reveal more people, and when the cleanup would end.
In fact, most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty just wanted to continue serving as officials in peace and quiet, and did not want to clean up the family. It really turned into falling apart, and then it turned into a big purge.
Even if you are in politics, it is best to be kind, deal with the problem rather than the person, and don't defeat anyone again.
Therefore, Wang Guoguang said to Zhang Juzheng after the trial ended: "Yuanfu, can this matter stop with people like Liu Yao, Qin Yao, and Li Cai?"
When Zhang Siwei heard what Wang Guoguang said, he also looked towards Zhang Juzheng.
"Do you think I don't want it to end? It's just that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop."
Zhang Juzheng replied like this.
And that night shortly after Zhang Juzheng said this, in the courtyard of a deep house.
A certain cabinet minister said to Zhu Nanyong: "Tell Mr. Xu to end it. Zhang Jiangling is too powerful!"
"Now it seems that Gao Gong is not targeting him this time. It is very likely that he deliberately united with Gao Gong to pull off such a trick to clean up the family!"
"There is a reason why this person was able to deceive Mr. Xu back then."
"yes!"
Zhu Nanyong responded and said: "It's just a pity that the business has been in vain for so long."
"It's a pity. If Zhang Juzheng hadn't cleaned up his family earlier, he would have been defeated in the future!"
"After all, even You Qi was bribed by us."
This pavilion old saying.
After hearing this, Zhu Nanyong asked: "I'm just confused. Why didn't the evidence in Liu Yao's hands this time force His Majesty to back down?"
"Because we all despise the emperor!"
"I don't know what Zhang Jiangling taught him. The emperor would rather exercise domineering skills than be easily used as a chess piece by one party!"
"Fortunately, he is very afraid of Zhang Juzheng, which shows that he has a cowardly temperament. If Zhang Juzheng is to be defeated in the future, he may have to be pushed."
This pavilion old saying.
Zhu Nanyong smiled and said: "The emperor should not be too smart, but should be cowardly. If the emperor can take advantage of it, it is considered good."
"You're right!"
…
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yijun was pulling the names of Liu Yao and others off the screen when Zhang Jing walked in: "Your Majesty?"
"Is there any new situation in the prison?"
Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Jing when he saw him coming.
"yes!"
"Shortly after Liu Yao was taken to prison, he took medicine unprepared and committed suicide."
Zhang Jing replied.
Zhu Yijun was stunned after hearing this: "Didn't you search him before arresting him?"
"After searching him, the Jin Yiwei who was responsible for searching him also committed suicide!"
Zhang Jing replied.
Zhu Yijun: "Who are they protecting?"
"Must be those people down south."
"According to the confessions confessed by Qin Yao and Li Cai, their society was organized by Liu Yao, and everything they did was planned by Liu Yao. The money they received also came from Liu Yao's hands. As for the people behind Liu Yao, They don't know who they are, they only know that Liu Yao means what he means by the entire Jiangnan wealthy family."
Zhang Jing replied.
"Mr. Xuan Zhang!"
Zhu Yijun gave an order after hearing this.
