Chapter 297 Listen to You Once!
This is Feng En's situation now.The emperor blew the wind to the ministers, saying that Feng En "had the emperor" and "criticized the great ceremony", and wanted to find out the instigator behind the scenes, and he would be sentenced to death.

But Feng En didn't make any confession when he was tortured in Jinyiwei Prison, and he refused to plead guilty. How could he be recruited in the Ministry of Punishment?

Here at the Ministry of Punishment, everyone is a decent civil official. Although it is an interrogation, they will not be sentenced easily. It is even more impossible for Feng En to plead guilty.

Besides, in the hearts of the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Feng En was not considered guilty.And with so many people watching Feng En's case, who knows if there is anyone behind Feng En?
However, the Qin case was sent to the Ministry, and it had to be tried, so the evil bureaucratic behavior appeared.

In this case, the entire Ministry of Criminal Justice worked hard together, and the thirteen Qing officials took turns to interrogate Feng En. Anyway, there was no result after each trial.

Wang Shizhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, had previously summarized the trial situation, and told the emperor to ask for mercy for Feng En, and then he was severely reprimanded by the emperor, demanding that the Ministry of Punishment must interrogate "clear", otherwise you, Wang Shizhong, will be dismissed!
It doesn't matter to Wang Shizhong, he is almost seventy, and he will go back to his hometown to take care of himself after he is dismissed.Near the end of his official career, it is decided that the coffin is about to be closed, and the word of mouth of Shilin is more important.

The case still needs to be dealt with, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice can only continue to interrogate Feng En every now and then, and it is not known when it will end.

In the past few days, the attention paid to Feng En from the emperor to the court suddenly dropped, and everyone went to eat Huo Tao's melons.

Qin Dewei came out from the Ministry of Criminal Justice after watching Master Feng, and then went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate next door.

Zuodu Censor Wang Tingxiang knew that Qin Dewei went to see Feng En in the prison of the Ministry of Justice today, and he would definitely come to see him after watching, so he sent a message to the hall in advance.

As soon as Qin Dewei arrived at the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was led in directly after reporting his name.

Seeing Da Zhongcheng, Qin Dewei asked: "What is Huo Shilang's situation now? Has the court made a decision? Or what is the trend?"

This made Wang Tingxiang very surprised. He didn't expect Qin Dewei to ask Huo Tao first instead of talking about Feng En.But it's not too strange, after all, Huo Tao's turmoil was caused by Qin Dewei.

Wang Tingxiang thought that Qin Dewei was worried, so he introduced the situation and said: "Now Huo Tao is still in Linqing Prefecture, saying that he is not sick, obviously he is waiting for the court to explain. In recent days, there have been many memorials to impeach Huo Tao and Maixiang, but they have all been impeached. The emperor will not send out."

The meaning of keeping it in the middle and not publishing it means that after the memorial is delivered to the emperor, the emperor temporarily (or permanently) withholds it and does not send it to the ministers for processing. This already shows Emperor Jiajing's attitude of protecting Huo Tao.

Currently, there are only four meritorious officials with relatively high official positions who are still in the temple, the chief assistant Zhang Cong, the university scholar Fang Xianfu, then Huo Tao, and the very low-key Huang Zongming.

So why was Emperor Jiajing willing to give up "his own" Huo Tao?
The year before last, Master Xia, a popular minister of Houlang, had driven Qianlang Huo Tao back to his hometown eight thousand miles away.

As a result, last year, Emperor Jiajing still wanted to recruit Huo Tao back.

"This is expected." Qin Dewei was not surprised at all that Liu Zhong did not send out, "And then what happened? The matter must be dealt with, and Huo Tao cannot be allowed to recuperate in Linqing Prefecture."

Wang Tingxiang continued: "Then the emperor has another decree to let the cabinet and court discuss the matter of Huo Tao, and the date will be the day after tomorrow."

Qin Dewei was not surprised, this is a very common political procedure.

As for the final result of the court meeting, it depends on the political wisdom of all parties. Even a court meeting may not have any results, and several times are the norm.

The ministers knew what the Emperor Jiajing wanted, but whether the ministers would give the emperor this result was another matter.

Between monarchs and ministers, games are everywhere.

"Is my father okay?" Qin Dewei asked again.

"What can your father do? No one will embarrass your father in this matter." Wang Tingxiang has a very clear judgment: "The emperor has always strictly controlled his ministers, and this time he will probably punish Mai Xiang severely and keep his father, so as to block public opinion. , and then we can indulge Huo Tao."

Qin Dewei thought about the timing, and after some calculations, he said to Wang Tingxiang: "After the court meeting in the next day, Mr. Feng's eldest son, Feng Xingke, will go to beat the Dengwen drum. Please take care of me when the time comes."

The Dengwen Drum was set up outside the right gate of Chang'an, and was guarded by a special Jinyi guard. Anyone who beat the drum was immediately sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is Wang Tingxiang's place. That's why I asked Wang Ting to take a photo.

Let Feng Xingke beat the drums first to stir up the atmosphere, and then write a letter saying that his father should die on behalf of his father. This is the first step in selling misery.

Wang Dazhongcheng had chatted with Qin Dewei before, knew Qin Dewei's thinking, and felt that it was feasible and risk-free.

But now he felt that the timing might not be too good, so he reminded: "Nowadays the whole court is paying attention to Huo Tao's matter, Feng En's case can just be left out in the cold, maybe there is no need to rush out.

Maybe the emperor has gradually forgotten about Feng En's case, but if you make such a fuss, you may attract the attention of the emperor again. "

Qin Dewei sighed and said: "With the emperor's temperament, things that are sure can be hidden for a while, but they can't be hidden for a lifetime. He can remember them in ten years and 20 years. It is impossible to delay them until they are dealt with coldly."

For example, according to the original history, a Zhang Yanling case will break out this year.

Emperor Jiajing insisted on taking the opportunity to kill Zhang Yanling, but all the ministers opposed it, so the result was delayed.

So Zhang Yanling was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment from 12 years in Jiajing to 25 years in Jiajing, and then Emperor Jiajing cut him down. This shows the "persistence" of Emperor Jiajing.

Wang Tingxiang was astonished, not because Qin Dewei dared to complain about the emperor, but because Qin Dewei seemed to know the emperor very well.

"That's right." Qin Dewei reminded again: "At the court meeting the day after tomorrow, my lord, please don't say a few words, don't give people any excuses, just watch the excitement."

Hear here.Wang Tingxiang was even more astonished: "The court meeting the day after tomorrow is to discuss Huo Tao's affairs. I thought you should persuade me to criticize Huo Tao? If Huo Tao returns to the capital, will it be good for you?"

Qin Dewei said calmly: "No need! I can settle him down. Just sit and watch! Don't talk too much in the court meeting, or you may make a joke."

Wang Tingxiang: "."

This feeling of having a particularly bad experience is here again. How can you be so arrogant as a poor scholar?How dare you pretend to be in control of this kind of court discussion?
Do you know who participates in this kind of cabinet meeting?Shoufu and Dashi, the minister of the six ministers, Ke Dao, anyone who is interested will come to join in the fun!
There are so many people talking and different opinions, even the emperor may not be able to grasp the direction of the court.

And you, Qin Dewei, who can't even enter the imperial city, how dare you tell me what to do out of thin air?
Fine!I will listen to you just once!If the old man loses the opportunity to show his presence because of his low profile, he will settle the score with you when he comes back.

　tonight
