Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, but then he responded: "You mean Ma Xuanlin accepted this appeal?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Ma Xuanlin took over the petitions from the dozen or so people on the street."
At this time, Yang Lin completely woke up from his drowsiness, stood up from the chair, and walked quickly around the room. He knew what it meant for Ma Xuanlin to take the complaint against Xuan Qingwei.
Things have really changed and become very complicated. Yang Lin's initial dislike for this staff member suddenly disappeared. Didn't the other party have everything right? Stay here to hear what he has to say?
"What do you think about this?"
"Back to your lord. My subordinates feel that this is still a follow-up change to the incident where Miss Qin was imprisoned in Fengri City, and they still believe that there is someone behind the whole incident.
However, to be able to convince Ma Xuanlin to take the lead, either the person behind the scenes has a very high status, or he has found a suitable entry point for some big shots above to take the initiative to help him take the lead. "
Yang Lin nodded. Ma Xuanlin naturally had a high status in the temple. He controlled one of the six departments, and played an important role in the civil service group. It's easy to imagine how much energy it takes to make such a heavyweight stand out.
And Ma Xuanlin is the backbone of the civil service group known to both the government and the public, and the leader of the civil service group is Left Prime Minister Ye Lansheng. Ma Xuanlin is often used as a pawn by Ye Lansheng, and he can be said to be the number one general in Ye Lansheng's hands.
So does Ma Xuanlin suddenly become the leader, does it mean that Ye Lansheng is still behind him? !
Thinking of this, Yang Lin even felt a little nervous, because he was the first to be pulled off the field. Now that the situation has changed, he will definitely not be able to avoid it. How to respond is very important to him.
"What's the purpose? Is it just to launch such a big battle just for a mere hundred households of Xuanqing Guards?"
"Your Majesty, Shen Hao is no longer an official of Baihu. He was promoted to Deputy Qianhu not long ago. He is the youngest and fastest-promoted Deputy Qianhu in Xuanqing Guard. He is said to be the current celebrity in Xuanqing Guard. It’s not too much, so punishing Shen Hao is no longer purely personal.”
"You mean these people are going for the Xuanqing Guard?! Don't these civil servants have a long memory? Last time they were slapped by Pang Ban so hard that their molars fell out, and now they dare to tease the tiger's beard? "
"Your Majesty, now and then, haven't you noticed that the voices of civil servants in the temple have become quieter during this time?" As Yang Lin's staff, he must always be aware of the troubles in the temple. This is basic. It comes from the many informants in the palace and the ministers who have quietly lined up in the temple.
Yang Lin nodded to express his understanding. Recently, the voices of civil servants in the temple have indeed become much quieter than before. In the past, the civil servants spent 70% of the time talking during a court meeting, but in the last court meeting, it was the military who talked for a longer time.
"The situation in the south is tense now. The status of the military department will definitely rise, and speaking louder will inevitably suppress the voices of civilian officials. But does it have anything to do with this matter?"
"Your Majesty, who has connections. The civil servants need to suppress the army in the temple, and they even have the obvious intention of "maintaining peace". However, although the army is weak, His Majesty's attitude is biased towards "main battle". Both sides of Your Majesty and the army Combined, the civil servants will be weak, which will cause them to lose their current status and authority.
And Xuanqing Guard Pang Ban made it clear that he was on the same side as His Majesty, that he was His Majesty’s loyal supporter, and that he would definitely support His Majesty’s “main battle”. Moreover, Xuanqing Guard had severely punished the civil servants before, and he was not a thorn in the side of the civil servants. Pass.
Therefore, attacking Xuanqing Guard is to weaken the power in His Majesty's hands, and it is also a disguised form of making His Majesty not confident enough to express his stance between "war and peace". "
"Bang!" Yang Lin heard this and slammed his palm on the table, causing the teacup on the table to fall over. His expression was even more furious: "How dare they do this! Is this a disguised form of forcing my father?!"
The staff really wanted to say, "Do you really think that this huge empire belongs to your Yang family?" But he really couldn't say this.
This huge empire was brought down by the Yang family. This is true. No one in the Yang family would be dissatisfied when they became the emperor. But all aspects of the empire were built by generations of common people and nobles. The empire belonged to the Yang family, but it didn't just belong to the Yang family. This is basic upper-level cognition. Logically speaking, a dignified prince should know.
Maybe Yang Lin knows this truth, but doesn't agree with it.
"Your Majesty. What is certain now is that someone secretly used "stopping and complaining" as an entry point to elevate matters that were originally limited to the Qin family, the prince, and the Xuanqing Guards of Fengri City to the level of law. And it is certain that it is with The top management of the Civil Service Group has done a good job of communicating. And now, Your Majesty, you are actually being held hostage by them, whether you like it or not.
Next, the civil servant group will definitely attack the Xuanqing Guards in Fengri City, and then spread to the entire Xuanqing Guards system, with the purpose of attacking the Xuanqing Guards and weakening His Majesty's right to speak. During this period, your choice is particularly important.
If you choose to help the Qin family out of consideration for your face, you will inevitably have a hard fight with the Xuanqing Guards of Fenglu City. This is a disguised form of siding with the civil service group. And if you choose to avoid it, endure the moment of anger, or even endure the loss of face and prestige, then you will naturally side with His Majesty. "
That's all I have said, and it's almost explained. As for Yang Lin's final choice, it is not something that the staff can control. He can only give some suggestions and analysis based on Yang Lin's ideas.
Yang Lin walked back and forth in the room, frowning deeply. He understood what the staff said, but how should he choose? Are you saving your own face and siding with the civil service group? Or should he swallow his humiliation and be labeled as a "coward" and stand on his father's side?
...
On the other side, at the pavilion in the pond in the backyard of the Qin Mansion, Qin Yurou met her younger brother Qin Xiuyuan here again.
"Sister, you are so good! The queen gave Xiangyu a pair of jade bracelets today. The bracelets were also engraved with words, which together called "An Wenwen". This was a nail in the coffin for Xiangyu and the fifth prince's wedding! "
"Don't be too proud. Let Xiangyu stay at home. The bracelet is the Queen's statement, and the Ministry of War means that she can go out and show her face."
"I know sister, I won't let Xiangyu step out of the Moon Gate until the wedding day. Haha, thanks to sister's help this time..."
Qin Yurou waved her hand and interrupted: "This is just the beginning. Deal with the people you are looking for as soon as possible, and don't leave anything behind."
"Don't worry, sister, I'll send all those who are spreading the news out of the city. They won't come back in two or three years..."
"What? You sent people away?!" Qin Yurou's originally calm expression suddenly became dull.
"Ah, yes, didn't you say you should get rid of those who spread the news? I did so."
Qin Yurou opened her mouth a few times, and finally took a deep breath to suppress the rage in her heart. She said in as calm a tone as possible: "What I mean by 'dealing with' is to let those people die! Only dead people can be kept secret! Otherwise, once If the news is leaked, you, me, and the Qin family will be dragged into the water! Do you understand this time? "
