Daming: My brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 370 Don't Respect Confucius and Mencius, But Respect Uncle Country!

"what?!"

Pan Jien asked in surprise.

Zhang Gui left here directly.

Zhou Neng and Liu Zongmin also followed.

Zhang Gui said to Zhou Neng who was behind him: "I didn't expect that you had someone hand me a note in advance saying that someone is wooing you, and the man behind this person would be Yang Sichang. From this point of view, this Yang Sichang dared to be sympathetic." I have long been planning to use the method of getting rid of Han Tuozhou to get rid of the Duke of my country."

"What the Duke said is that because of this, the humble official dared to contact him, in order to dig out those who dared to harm you. Now it seems that you are the one who acted first. This Yang Sichang After all the organs have been calculated, maybe you will not think that you, the Duke of the State, can act faster than him."

Zhou Neng agreed.

"Your loyalty is hard to come by! If you hadn't sent me the news in advance, I wouldn't have dared to come to see you, and cooperate with you to let Pan Ji'en tell the person behind it."

Zhang Gui laughed.

"You gave me everything, including all the wealth and honor of the whole family. How can I not be loyal to you? If I betray you, I'm afraid there will be no place for me in the world."

Zhou Neng said.

Zhang Gui nodded.

Zhou Neng looked at Liu Zongmin and said, "It's just that Brother Liu has been wronged. I begged the Duke not to tell you."

Liu Zongmin snorted and remained silent.

Zhang Gui smiled and said: "Okay, Zhou Neng, you go back to Zhenfusi Yamen first, take this Pan Ji'en back, and report to Wei Zhongxian, so that Wei Zhongxian will tell His Majesty about today's matter."

"Yes!"

So, here Pan Ji'en was dragged away like a dead dog.

As soon as Pan Ji'en was sent to prison, Zhou Neng immediately interrogated Pan Ji'en: "Brother Pan, besides you, who else is Yang Sichang's accomplice?"

Pan Ji'en looked at Zhou Neng and smiled wryly: "Zhou Neng, how can you play me like this?! I gave my sister to you, a lowly vagabond warrior and eagle dog, as a concubine!"

"Look, it's all over now, you, uncle, actually still look down on me in your heart. How can you say that I am willing to be driven by you? As for your sister, she is just a tool to win me over in your eyes, do you really think so?" Treat him as a younger sister? Why do you love her more than me as a brother? "

Zhou Neng asked a question, and said again: "No, you didn't! So, you don't have to put on airs for me here, and you still have to question me."

Pan Ji'en sneered, and then sighed: "Forget it, I really thought I could use you to restore Neo Confucianism's status, but now it looks like I'm wishful thinking."

Pan Ji'en looked at Zhou Neng again, and asked, "But didn't you say that you would like to see Neo Confucianism restored, and you cursed Uncle Zhang Guo, who kicked you out of the mansion, for blaspheming saints and disrespecting Confucius and Mencius! Did you forget?"

Zhou Neng sneered: "Why, you are only allowed to pretend to admire practical learning, but I am not allowed to pretend to admire Neo Confucianism? Besides, why should I support the restoration of Neo Confucianism? When Neo Confucianism was booming, my whole family was hungry and my mother starved to death. Eldest sister; do you really think that I want to recover my philosophy and continue to live a life of starvation?"

"You are already a high-ranking official in the imperial court, how could you be hungry! The people who starved to death are just those ordinary people!"

Pan Jien said.

"Are they not human beings, can they starve to death? I, Zhou Neng, am not ruthless enough to ignore people of the same background as myself, and let them watch my mother starve to death just like myself!"

Zhou Neng asked loudly, and then burst into tears.

Then, Zhou Neng sobbed a bit, and looked at Pan Ji'en with a straight face: "Tell me, what other accomplices do you have, don't force me to use torture!"

"There is also Zhang Sizhi, the head of the Imperial Academy, who has been poisoned and silenced by me in advance. In addition, there is Tian Jingyuan, the imperial censor. There is nothing else."

Pan Ji'en was afraid of being tortured, so he answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Zhou Neng asked: "So, Zhang Sizhi inquired about the secrets of the industrial driver and instigated Ge Yingdou and Wei Boxiang of the industrial department, all arranged by Yang Sichang?"

Pan Ji'en nodded: "We have a division of labor. According to Mr. Wen Ruogong, Zhang Sizhi is responsible for digging out the secrets of the Industrial Division; Tian Jingyuan is responsible for exacerbating the conflict between the court officials and Uncle Guo; and I am naturally instigating your factory guards. And Duke Wen Ruo himself is trying to gain His Majesty's trust. We will work together to form a joint force, and then help restore the ancestral system. It's just that the success falls short, and Duke Wen Ruo was killed before me and Tian Jingyuan!"

"So, you chose to win me over? As for Tian Jingyuan, how will he intensify the conflict between civil servants and uncle Guo?"

Zhou Neng continued to ask.

At this time, Liu Hongxun, who was also in the cell, listened to the sound of "Tian Jingyuan" coming from the interrogation department. He also wanted to know why Tian Jingyuan wanted to frame him.
Pan Ji'en replied at this time: "According to Mr. Wen Ruogong, he was only cooperating with Liu Zibo (Liu Hongxun) to fight against Uncle Guo. He would play tricks on the Ministry of Industry's supply of firearms and powder to Li Fuming's Ministry, but it turned out that he was measuring Uncle Guo with a villain's heart."

"Uncle Guo is indeed not confused about major issues. Although he often aggravated the strife in my Ming court, he did not put his mind on internal fighting, so that he would do anything for himself, even the country and the nation. Similarly, he will never exploit the interests of the country and the nation."

"In addition, Zhu Zhiyu, a cunning man, was obviously sent by the south as a secret agent, but he also ordered Mao at Uncle Guo's place, so that Tian Jingyuan was ordered to go to prison."

"Fortunately, Mr. Wen Ruo has warned him in advance, don't expect uncle Guo to have a handle on matters involving the interests of the country and the nation, and if he fails, it is better to falsely accuse Liu Zibo and achieve the purpose of bringing disaster to the east. Temperament, I'm afraid I would rather die than implicate others."

"No wonder, after Tian Jingyuan's incident was defeated, he would say that Liu Hongxun was behind the scenes. It turned out that Yang Sichang had arranged it earlier."

Zhou Neng said something, and then asked Pan Ji'en: "Why did Tian Jingyuan want to frame the Duke again after he reappeared? Is this what Yang Sichang meant?"

Pan Ji'en nodded, and then sighed helplessly: "Your factory guards are indeed not to be underestimated. It's no wonder that the scholar-bureaucrats of all dynasties didn't like the emperor's arrangement of eagles and dogs."

"Because who would have thought that Mao Yuanyi would be instigated by your factory guards? And Li Fuming, a bastard, I don't know where he made a mistake. He had obviously defected to the south, but he was also instigated by your factory guards, causing Ge Yingdou and Zhang Sizhi to expose Come out!"

"In addition, Tian Jingyuan has been exposed, and although Liu Zibo has been imprisoned, Uncle Guo has not closed the case for a long time, which shows that His Majesty and Uncle Guo do not believe that Liu Hongxun is the main envoy, and therefore, there is no doubt that he will go to Tu When we meet, Mr. Wen Ruo, how can you not take a gamble at this critical moment? Use Tian Jingyuan to frame Uncle Guo, and then through your own efforts, make His Majesty decide to get rid of Uncle Zhang Guo?"

With that said, Pan Jien said again: "Besides, according to Mr. Wen Ruogong's intention, even if His Majesty can't make up his mind in the end, or regrets it, and doesn't want to kill Uncle Guo! And you, Zhou Qianhu, and I will join forces to get rid of Uncle Guo directly." The plan is like Shi Miyuan and the military ministers directly getting rid of Han Tuozhou. Unfortunately, the success fell short, I didn't expect that you, Zhou Qianhu, didn't intend to frame Uncle Zhang Guo."

Zhou Neng chuckled: "What you don't expect is that His Majesty will help Uncle Guo kill Yang Sichang, right? Besides, you don't even think about it, if I really betrayed Uncle Guo, will Uncle Guo come? You don't want to Underestimate Uncle Guo's prudence!"
