Idle courtiers

Chapter 434 Yu Er is the key
This matter is indeed ridiculous. In the eyes of the world, King Jing is the biggest suspect in Kong Ming's assassination of Xiao Wanli.

Xu Jie couldn't fight the battle for the heir apparent. He was already an extremely human minister. With the rank of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be nice to be a good old man in front of him? Why did he find someone to kill Yu? Prince of the royal family?
It's ridiculous enough for Kong Ming to bite Zhu Xizhong, the commander of Jinyiwei, but now it's even more ridiculous when it comes to Xu Jie's head.

Xu Fan: "My lord father, the murderer is just a mad dog. The clean will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. Don't take it to heart." There is no need to explain this kind of thing, just ignore it.

But Xu Jie said slowly: "The old man Kong Ming is the mastermind behind this case, and the factory guards have already handed over the confession. Chen Hong, the admiral of the East Factory, and Zhu Xizhong, the left governor of Jinyiwei, are on the relevant files. I made an instruction to make this case an iron case."

"Ah, is it true?" Zhou Nan and Xu Fan were both startled and cried out at the same time.

The confession certificate has been handed in, which means that the factory guards have collected the evidence, the interrogation has been contacted, and it is concluded that Xu Jie is the main culprit, and the final procedure of the emperor's ruling has begun.

Moreover, the two leaders of the factory guard teamed up, and the energy was so great that even Xu Jie couldn't stand it.

Xu Jie nodded slowly: "That's what Zou Yunqing came to tell my husband just now. Hey, I never thought that the dispute between the chief and assistant would be so involved, and someone would actually want to put this old man to death."

Xu Fan: "Father, it's not that serious, is it? Also, is the Kong Ming case so linked to the cabinet chief and assistant dispute?"

"Don't you understand?" Zhou Nan's heart moved, and he immediately connected all the joints together to fully understand what was going on in this case.Couldn't help but secretly sighed: What a Chen Hong, it really is amazing.My cheap father-in-law, Xu Fan, is really stupid. He has been a deputy provincial official, and he doesn't even have this bit of political common sense.

Xu Jie: "Zimu, tell me your opinion."

Zhou Nan: "Actually, it doesn't matter who the mastermind behind the scenes is, why Kongming assassinated the prince of Prince Yu's mansion. As a person who investigates this case, the key is to give the world an explanation to the emperor and the prince. Among them, to King Yu An explanation is the most important. As a victim, if the Wangfu is satisfied with the final result, the case will be considered closed; the key is that the person handling the case must carefully consider what advantages and disadvantages the case will bring to him. Such a big case, don't Most people may avoid it, but for Chen Hong, it is a huge opportunity."

Xu Fan couldn't help but said: "Although Chen Hong and his father have no friendship, they don't have any enmity. How can he do such a murderous thing? And Zhu Xizhong, his father has been an official with him for more than 20 years, and there is no festival. !"

Zhou Nan: "Political matters are about interests, and have nothing to do with personal grievances."

"Well said, personal grievances are nothing compared to military affairs." Xu Jie looked at Zhou Nan appreciatively: "Zimu, continue talking."

Zhou Nan: "Chen Hong used to intend to please King Jing and intervened in the royal family affairs. This is a big taboo. Although he later joined King Yu's camp, no one can guarantee that he will not be settled in the future and will be liquidated against him. .In order to protect yourself, you have to make great contributions to the palace."

He considered his tone and said: "Right now, Mr. Ge is competing with Gao Gong for the position of chief assistant in the cabinet. Who is Gao Gong? He is the teacher of King Yu. If King Yu succeeds in the future, he must be the leader of all officials. Just imagine, if Chen Hong was able to use this case to overthrow the elders of the pavilion, so that Gao Jijiu was able to enter the pavilion and rule the world. What kind of credit and kindness is this? Therefore, who is the mastermind behind the scenes and what is the motive? It's meaningless to Chen Hong."

"Ah, so that's it, what a villain!" Xu Fan clenched his fists angrily, "I swear I won't give up with such a villain." ? "

Zhou Nan slandered in his heart: "Father-in-law, you should save yourself! Yes, Xu Ge is always an old fox, but it seems that his shrewd genes have not been passed on to you. With your old man's IQ, you can make others Chen How is Hong?"

"Master Ge, what did Qing Yun say?"

Hearing the grandson-in-law's question, Xu Jie said: "Yunqing only reported it quickly after hearing about it. He is a loyal gentleman, and planning for praise and painting is not his forte. I discussed it with the old man for a long time before, but I couldn't tell you why. .”

Zhou Nan felt a little unhappy: What kind of honest gentleman, you clearly say that I am a villain, and I am suitable for doing things like shady people behind my back and giving advice.That's right, Zou Yinglong is actually good at studying, and he passed the Jinshi examination.When he entered the officialdom, he worked as a speech officer again, and only knew how to pick on people's mistakes and scold their mothers.If you ask him to advise you and believe him, you will not know how to die.

Zhou Nan: "Mr. Ge, just now what my father-in-law said is correct. Could the gentlemen of the court just look at the eunuchs in power, pointing at the deer as a horse? The only way now is to mobilize the Qing gossip officials to appeal for Xu's grievances, and ask the emperor to hand over the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for retrial." .”

After hearing this, Xu Fan's eyes brightened: "My lord, this case is obviously fabricated by Chen Hong and Zhu Xizhong to persecute Zhongliang. Zhongguan messed up the government and intervened wantonly in the affairs of foreign courts, which can be said to have broken the rules of the court. , or even a joint trial by the three judicial divisions. Thief Chen can't cover the sky with one hand, and their plot to frame his father will be exposed. The son thinks that this matter is feasible, so let Zou Yunqing do it."

"It's a good plan, but it's not so easy. Even if Yun Qing contacted him, there would be very few people on Ke Dao's side." Xu Jie sighed.

Xu Fan was startled and said, "Son doesn't understand."

Xu Jie: "It would be easy for Chen Hong alone, but now he and Zhu Xizhong are joining forces, and things will be troublesome. You are the judges of science and justice, and you impeach people at will. It's not so simple to see the problem."

Yes, eunuchs and civil servants are natural enemies.One represents the imperial power, and the other represents the scholar-bureaucrat class, so it is natural to keep pinching each other when they meet.If Chen Hong alone falsely accuses Xu Jie, all he needs to do is start, and the officials will naturally jump out one after another, smashing Eunuch Chen's dog's head with the impeachment notes.

But now there is one more Zhu Xizhong.

Everyone in Chen Hong didn't believe it, but when Zhu Xizhong stepped forward, the factory guards teamed up with unprecedented strength, which was not so easy to deal with.Besides, these two people said with certainty that Xu Jie was the mastermind behind the scenes, and the officials couldn't help muttering in their hearts: If old Xu is really the mastermind behind the scenes, is it appropriate for us to stand up for him?

This matter is going to be a big case of treason, so you can't speak and express your position indiscriminately, so as not to get burned.

We who are speech officials should stop joining in the fun, and continue to impeach and impeach a certain official for robbing civilian women, and live in a disorderly and safe manner.Really lacking political achievements, the last book is to scold the emperor.

The Kongming case is a hot topic, if we don't rub it, whoever rubs it will die.

Both Zhou Nan and Xu Fan understand the truth of this.

Xu Fan: "It doesn't matter if Ke Dao refuses to speak up for justice. My father has been a minister for many years, and his disciples and former officials are all over the world. Let them write a letter."

Zhou Nan: "What's the use, hiding from each other."

Xu Jie: "Indeed." The testimonies of stakeholders will not be accepted at all.

Zhou Nan: "Actually, this matter is also easy. The key lies in Yu Er, my housekeeper."

Xu Jie wondered: "What does it have to do with Yu Er?" An ordinary person has nothing to do with court swords and swords!
