Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 299 is the head iron
Chen Mao's actions successfully temporarily stopped the debate in the court.

The Zhennanwang case, after more than half a month of fermentation, coupled with the deliberate promotion of someone behind it, has already been in the court and the opposition, and everyone knows it. It can be called a major case that the court pays attention to.

But this case is a religious matter after all.

Therefore, during the trial process, apart from the attendance of the major clans, the only people who knew the details were a group of officials who participated in the trial.

Chen Mao brought it out at this moment, which naturally attracted the attention of many ministers.

Immediately, an internal servant presented the memorial in Chen Mao's hand to the imperial court.

It seemed that he was afraid that the Son of Heaven would hide the matter. After the playbook was presented, after only a moment's pause, Chen Mao took the initiative to speak.

"Your Majesty, at the trial, King Zhennan refused to confess to defaming Renmiao, but there are poems as physical evidence, and the restaurant staff brought by King Guangtong and King Yangzong as witnesses, all can prove that King Zhennan is indeed Once slandered Ren Temple."

"After the matter was smashed by Zhu Huijuan, the son of the former King of Min, the King of Zhennan deceived the court, sent people to steal poems, and framed his elder brother. The evidence is convincing. Prison, waiting for His Majesty to deal with it."

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then, as if a pot had exploded, discussions began with a "buzz".

Amidst a burst of noisy discussion, Luo Tong, the deputy governor of the left, stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, this case is of great importance. As a subject, the king of Zhennan disrespects his father, which is disloyalty. As a younger brother, disregarding brotherhood, framed elder brother, is disrespectful."

"The heavenly family has its own order, and the clan should keep their duties. Such disloyal and unfraternal people are really the scum of the clan. I ask your Majesty to punish this generation severely, cut off the throne, and put them under house arrest for life to police the clan!"

Just like the noisy discussion that had just started suddenly, as Luo Tong's voice fell, the elders fell silent again as if a switch had been turned off.

"...The heavenly family has its own ethics and order, and the clan should keep their duties..."

None of them are fools, even if they didn't realize it before, they all vaguely understood something when they heard Luo Tong's words.

What is moral order and what is duty?

Are he really just talking about the pair of brothers in Prince Min's Mansion?
After the elders figured it out, they were frightened for a while.

This Luo Tong is too bold!

However, more daring is yet to come.

This time in the Zhennan Wang case, Chen Mao was the presiding judge, and besides Luo Tong from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Xue Xuan from Dali Temple was also co-trial.

Mr. Xue is a great Confucian, he abides by etiquette and is good at debating.

Compared with Luo Tong and Chen Mao, Mr. Xue spoke more straightforwardly, and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I think just cutting off the throne is not enough to warn the world! The crime of Zhennan King is not to slander the Temple of Ren and frame the eldest brother."

"My dynasty established the country with filial piety. For many years, the king of Zhennan knew that his elder brother was wronged, but he sat by and watched his elder brother imprisoned within the high wall of Fengyang, and died in depression."

"He is still dignified, living in the position of the son of the world, showing his virtuous attitude to others, and making the clan call him a virtuous person. This is not deceiving people, but also deceiving the emperor, the court, and the hypocrites of the world!"

"Such a person who is as treacherous as loyal, as false as the truth, and as evil as good, the Tian family should take this as a warning, declare his crimes to the world, imprison his descendants in Fengyang, and guard the ancestral tomb for generations to atone for his sins!"

There was no sound in the hall.

The elders silently sweated for Mr. Xue.

How dare this old man speak!

The king of Zhennan sat back and watched his elder brother's unjust death and ignored it, and settled down as a son to show his wisdom to others.

These words, no matter how you hear them, feel that they are alluding to today's world.

The Taishanghuang is now trapped in the north, and his life is in danger at any time, but today he commanded and won the battle of Oirat, and both the government and the opposition are called the British Lord.

This implication is too obvious!
He sneaked a peek at the upper imperial steps, and as expected, the emperor's face darkened.

All civil and military officials booed and silenced, and there was silence, and everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the group of officials who were having a good time just now, finally set his eyes on Xue Xuan, and said lightly.

"A warning? Who did Xue Qing ask to take a warning?"

The officials felt a burst of pressure rushing towards their faces, and hurriedly lowered their heads not daring to speak, but quite a few ministers who stood a little closer could catch glimpses out of the corner of their eyes, the emperor's face was frighteningly cold.

"According to what Xue Qing and Luo Qing mean, is it true that I can only take a warning if I immediately send a mission to welcome back the Supreme Emperor regardless of the cost?"

Facing such strong pressure from the Son of Heaven, Xue Xuan's face remained normal.

Since he dared to stand up and say these words, he naturally expected the possible results.

The old man lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down on the ground, and said.

"I dare not show the slightest disrespect to His Majesty, but the case of Zhennan King shocked the government and the public, and the world was stunned. Etiquette and ethics are the foundation of national stability."

"There is such a big case in the Tian family of the imperial family, and the Supreme Emperor is in the north, and the danger is at stake. It is inevitable that the people all over the world will discuss it, which will damage your majesty's reputation."

"The old minister believes that the court should send a mission as soon as possible to welcome the emperor back, so as to show His Majesty's holiness and filial piety."

Although Xue Xuan was just promoted to Dali Temple Minister, his status in the court was far from being matched by his current official position.

He not only has profound qualifications, but also is an upright official, outspoken and outspoken. He was once dismissed for offending Wang Zhen, and he has a good reputation as a scholar.

More importantly, during the few years when he was dismissed from office and stayed at home, he devoted himself to academics, lectured and studied, and formed the so-called "Hedong School". His disciples spread across several provinces, and he was a Confucian master admired by everyone.

At least in today's court, few people can surpass the attainments of Confucianism alone.

Therefore, although his old man's words were out of line, no one stood up to refute them.

Of course, it's not completely absent.

Soon, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Wen, stood up angrily and reprimanded him.

"The theory of corrupt Confucianism!"

Although Mrs. Wang is now a heavenly official, his temper has not changed, and he just speaks to the hottest place.

When they came to the hall, Wang Wenlin and Xue Xuan looked at each other and said.

"The Zhennan King case shocked the government and the public, but what does it have to do with His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty and the Emperor Taishang have a deep brotherhood, which is well known in the world. In the past, Your Majesty was the son of the former Emperor, and when he was old, he would be a vassal state. The Emperor Taishang cared about the brotherhood, and repeatedly persuaded him to stay. He conquered Wala in the north, and even devoted all the affairs of the state to His Majesty. .”

"After the Civil War, the Emperor Taishang hunted north. His Majesty was still seriously ill. He was sick and busy with state affairs. He repeatedly sent missions to welcome the Emperor back. The friendship between the heavenly family can be seen."

"Nowadays, the government and the public, although looking forward to the emperor's return to the south, are also very cunning at the beginning. He has made repeated demands and made progress. His Majesty has the overall situation in mind, and endured the pain of separation between brothers, just for the stability of the society."

"Now, you are taking advantage of the topic to make such nonsense and slander Your Majesty. What is your intention?"

Wang Wen's appearance was already frightening, and he was blessed with the status of a heavenly official. At this moment, his beard and hair were all stretched out, and he asked every step of the way with such a majestic momentum that all the officials booed silently.

However, Xue Xuan was not afraid at all, and spoke.

"Your Majesty's skill in putting on a hat is still the same as in the past. When did this old man have any presumptuous words to His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is sage and wise, and the government and the public know it. However, not everyone in the world can read and understand. The common people are ignorant and ignorant, and they are good at listening to rumors."

"The case of King Zhennan has nothing to do with His Majesty, but after the case is announced, it is inevitable that rumors will spread, so that those who do not know the inside information of tomorrow's family will speak falsely about His Majesty."

"The old man upholds the public heart and advises His Majesty to welcome the Emperor back. What's wrong with it? It's the Heavenly Official who elevates the ordinary court discussion to slander His Majesty. Could it be that he harbors old grievances and wants to trap Xue Mou in infidelity?"

　I recently changed to new glasses, and wearing them is very tiring. It is said that it takes about two weeks to get used to it...

　　The job is gone, and I have to find a new job. I am anxious and tired. It is too difficult. It is estimated that for a period of time, I can only maintain normal updates. Book friends who really feel slow can open an automatic subscription to raise one...
