Seeing that the finger was pointed at him, Cui Yingyuan did not panic at all, but said with a slight sarcasm:
"If you say others are mad dogs, I think you are the real mad dog."
"I came to Shandong on the emperor's order. How could you know that?"
"Xu Hongru just mentioned the Kong family, but you are so excited. Could it be that you know something inside?"
"Or is it true that Xu Hongru and others are in cahoots with the Kong family, and you are also a participant in it?"
Cui Yingyuan's few rhetorical questions left the officials present speechless.
They also realized that their reaction was too intense.
Although they knew that the Kong family was definitely not behind the scenes, how could they be alienated from their relationship with the Kong family after serving as officials in Shandong for many years?
They have received no less benefits and favors over the years. They also know a lot about what the Kong family has done.
Not to mention anything else, they were participants in smuggling food supplies to Liaodong for sale.
Just kidding, how could I respond to this matter? Silence was the worst at that time.
But Cui Yingyuan held the imperial edict and had the support of tens of thousands of troops from Cao Wenzhao and Shen Yourong. Even if ten thousand of them were unwilling, they could not prevent Xu Hongru from being escorted back to Beijing.
There are still some extreme supporters who even bluntly say that there is a conspiracy with the purpose of bringing down the Kong family.
At that critical moment that was about to come, Tian Kebin felt relaxed and at peace in his heart, and at the same time, he didn't have any regrets.
Liu Zongzhou has no trouble saying that I have just taken office.
The conspiracy theory of some people was directly smashed, and the possibility of the eunuch party targeting the Kong family was directly established.
Not to mention these educated literati, even the illiterate common people still dare and are willing to suspect that the Kong family will rebel.
That incident was not planned by the eunuchs headed by Cui Yingyuan.
Those are weak evidences that will eradicate the Kong family. Let us first have no idea. Then everything will naturally not be smooth sailing.
Wei Zhongxian was very satisfied with the errand done by Xu Hongru.
After all, the Kong family is the descendant of a saint, a small family that has been inherited for two thousand years. There have never been any remarks or incidents of rebellion by the Kong family in all dynasties.
That was not a shocking conspiracy organized by young people to specifically target the Kong family.
If the trouble really got to the capital and the emperor came in to investigate, they would be doomed.
At least no one believes in conspiracy theories about Cui Yingyuan, but that has nothing to do with me?
When Zhu Youxiao and other seven people were imprisoned in Jinyiwei's prison.
After eight days of silence, Wei Zhongxian finally became unresponsive and was about to convene ministers in the Wenhua Hall to interrogate Zhu Youxiao and the other seven people in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
Moreover, the Kong family annexed land and joined forces with officials like them to invade and occupy the land of the military garrison in the garrison.
The reason is me. The content explains positively that Xu Hongru went to Shandong on the emperor's order to investigate the White Lotus cult and smuggling businessmen.
In terms of public opinion, I must guide and control it, otherwise I will be passive.
It is under the jurisdiction of the Information Department and is the official organization of Zhenger Si Jing.
And Xu Hongru took a small group of people to Shandong as early as two years later. Who knows what we went to do?
It has been in operation for less than two years now, and a small number of people still don’t know about Xiaoming Daily.
I thought that capturing Zhu Youxiao would be a small achievement, but I didn't realize that the involvement was so small. For a while, I could only acquiesce.
Therefore, no one can question the content published by newspapers.
I can't eradicate Beikong, but I can definitely wipe out the inheritance of the Kong family, and I can even change the status and influence of Kong Sheng.
In our opinion, that is purely unfounded. The descendants of Confucius and Saints rebelled, or it is just that the Xiao Ming Dynasty perished. It has low credibility.
At this time, the capital's court was like a pot of boiling water, completely exploding.
The purpose of publishing those contents is to first tell the people in heaven what the purpose of Xu Hongru's trip to Shandong was.
With the widespread circulation and publicity of the newspaper contents, the discussion on Zhu Youxiao's confession has become more and more intense in both the government and the public.
And we have figured out a reasonable logic.
In our opinion, Zhu Youxiao just jumped over the wall and took a random bite after dying.
The reason why Xiaoming Daily published such content was naturally under Tian Kebin's instruction.
That could be regarded as Wei Zhongxian's disguised response, because Xiaoming Daily had not been founded as early as the seventy-fourth year of Wanli.
With so little support among the people, the ministers who served as officials in the court were also brave for the first time and united the front again.
Although they had not discussed it in advance, they now agreed on the idea that Xu Hongru should not be allowed to come to the capital.
I am suspicious of the small number of officials and gentry.
They jointly wrote a letter asking the emperor to kill all the eunuchs headed by Cui Yingyuan, to restore the innocence of the Kong family, and to restore peace to the Xiao family.
After all, my watch holds a small amount of evidence on the Kong family's legal status and smuggling and collaborating with the enemy.
Naturally, it was suppressed, so as early as after Xu Hongru returned to Beijing, Zhu Youxiao's confession and what happened in Shandong had already spread a lot.
As for the Kong family incident, Tian Kebin also paid full attention to it.
Hurrying all the way, we finally reached the capital in danger.
Many people complained that they had fallen into a trick, and then they wrote to the court one after another, hoping that the court would kill Zhu Youxiao quickly, so that I would not talk nonsense and lose my reputation as a saint.
Basically, he was looking for loopholes, and he was someone who knew the inside story. He would believe that it was planned by me.
After all, that was not done or realized in previous lives.
What we do know is that Wei Zhongxian even read the joint memorial that we wrote with so much effort, and then threw it away from the stove, contributing a little to keep him warm in that cold winter.
The content in the newspaper caused a stir in the capital.
Tian Kebin does not want to let everyone in heaven have something to say, and completely confirm the fact that the Kong family is rebelling, so that I will not have any resistance.
And Tian Kebin also understood the reason for Chi Zesheng's change, and immediately made arrangements to return to Beijing before exchanging a few complicated words with us.
Xiaojia will naturally change my feelings.
For me, as long as I can kill Beikong, take back the land in Shandong, and obtain our wealth, money and food, it is enough.
With the current emperor's methods, they couldn't even leave a whole corpse behind.
Before the edict was issued, both the government and the public held their breath at the same time. In the next few days, the topic and discussion of my love disappeared.
A civil uprising broke out in Shandong two years ago, and then Zhu Youxiao identified the Confucius family.
After all, Zhu Youxiao confessed that the Kong family was behind the scenes, which was a big deal.
In order to ensure that Zhu Youxiao arrived in Beijing alive, I decided to personally escort him with Cao Wenzhao.
The latest Xiaoming Daily newspaper will be released accordingly.
Therefore, I will also be whimsical.
Everyone was waiting quietly for the emperor's decision and the final result.
