Chapter 47: Damn you
Emperor Tianqi looked down at Wei Zhongxian, and his anger towards Wei Zhongxian had disappeared.
But when he looked at Han Lin standing aside, something was hidden in his eyes, a swelling emotion was desperately concealing it.
Then, Emperor Tianqi slowly opened his mouth and said, "You are here?"
The officials never expected that the emperor suddenly left the palace for private inspection, and they were already shocked and came to serve. When they saw Emperor Tianqi running to Qingpingfang, which was not caring about the land, they felt a little more worried.
But everyone discovered that the Emperor Aoki seemed to be in a bad mood at this time.
Emperor Tianqi looked around with his hands behind his back. The emperor, who rarely came out to see ministers on weekdays, seemed very confident at this moment.
He said calmly and calmly: "You are here just right. I have just clarified a case today. The Censor Han Lin impeached Zhang Jingyi, a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, and said that he bullied the orphans of the Jinyiwei, and that the crime was unforgivable. But I visited all the way and found that the matter was completely opposite. All the Qingpingfang were grateful to Zhang Jingyi, and they all said that Zhang Jingyi had done many good things here. Then... Han Lin was involved in false accusations. Look, how should I deal with this matter?"
His tone was very calm, as if he was telling someone else's affairs.
All the ministers were silent.
Emperor Tianqi looked at Huang Liji, the chief minister of the cabinet who was leaning against him with a smile, and said, "Huang Qing family, you are the leader of all officials, let's talk about it."
Huang Liji looked righteous and could not help but glance at Wei Zhongxian who was kneeling on the ground and refused to get up.
He is the chief minister of the cabinet. Although he has always maintained cooperation with Wei Zhongxian, he also understands that behind him are countless ministers. If he breaks certain "rules", he is afraid that starting tomorrow, he will be ridiculed and sarcastic by countless people.
After calming down, Huang Liji said, "Your Majesty, Han Lin did something wrong."
Emperor Tianqi seemed to be looking forward to something, nodded, waiting for Huang Liji to continue talking.
Huang Liji then talked: "But Han Lin is the censor. The responsibility of the censor is to capture the wind and shadows and report the news. This is the rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao. The original intention is to prevent the censor from saying things and not being harmed. So even so, the old minister thinks that although Han Lin's impeachment is unfounded, it is his responsibility after all, and the court should not be punished."
Han Lin was worried, but now when he heard these words, he finally felt relieved.
The muscles on Emperor Tianqi's face twitched slightly, but he still looked very calm: "But if I mistakenly believe Han Lin's words and punish Zhang Jingyi for being punished, wouldn't it be a big mistake?"
"This is the law of the ancestors." Huang Liji continued to explain: "It is for the censor to speak freely. If the censor is wrong in impeachment today, he will be punished. Then, who will dare to speak out in the Ming Dynasty from now on? Your Majesty cannot break the big plan because of Han Lin."
"What a big plan!" Emperor Tianqi finally showed a slight angry attitude: "If I say this, can't I do anything about it?"
Huang Liji tried hard to calm down again: "Since Your Majesty is angry..."
When Emperor Tianqi felt extremely nervous when he spoke out.
Is this a question of resentment? Is it because of my personal grudges?
But he was still unmoved and was waiting for Huang Liji's answer.
Huang Liji continued: "Why would you like to issue an order to reprimand Han Lin? Then, the Censorate fined Han Lin for a year and a half. In this way, Han Lin naturally knew that his dereliction of duty would definitely be able to reform himself in the future. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
A one-year or two-year salary fine is issued to reprimand?
Emperor Tianqi said coldly: "What other opinions do you have?"
He asked his ministers.
The ministers looked at each other. From the bottom of their hearts, they obviously agreed with Huang Liji, not just because Huang Liji was the chief minister. The most important thing is that the emperor punished a censor severely because of his dereliction of duty, which is definitely not a good thing for them. If he makes any mistakes in the future, will he still be dismissed from office and lose his life?
After a moment of silence, someone stood up: "Your Majesty, Mr. Huang's words are really heart-warming, and I will discuss them."
Someone said, "I have also agreed."
More and more people stood up and agreed.
Emperor Aoki was silent.
He turned around and left the ministers with a lonely back.
After turning around, he faced Zhang Jingyi: "What did Zhang Qing say?"
What can I say?
Zhang Jing said: "I am humble... I have nothing to say."
Emperor Tianqi nodded, then turned back, sighed and said, "Since this is the law of the ancestors, I can do nothing. Since that's the case, then let's follow what the ministers said."
After His Majesty's words finished, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Zhongxian, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel relieved. No matter what, even Han Lin, who killed thousands of swords, was not guilty, so his small mistake was simply not worth mentioning.
This is a happy ending.
Han Lin completely relaxed at this time. With the support of all officials, he was just a fine. Although the fine made him feel a little distressed, and this time he was so gentle that he was ruined, it was not a big deal. At least he impeached the Jinyiwei, which made everyone in the world know that he was a kind person, which was not a bad thing for his future.
Therefore, Han Lin seemed to be calm and unstoppable and bowed to Emperor Tianqi in a calm and composed manner, and said with great sarcasm: "Your Majesty, I have indeed failed to monitor this time. I am now ordered to be fined. I... am convinced and grateful."
As he said, bowed and bowed.
Emperor Tianqi then looked at Han Lin with a strange look, and then said, "Do you know you are wrong?"
"I... know my mistake... Your Majesty's..."
"I'm thinking, if I listened to you..." Emperor Tianqi said slowly: "I punished Zhang Jingyi, then... the soldiers in Qingpingfang will lose their support. I think... they will become the same as before and can no longer make a living. And Jiang Jian, he has lost a child, and his child will starve to death, right?"
Speaking of the child, Emperor Aoki's chest actually fluttered a few times, and his voice seemed even more hoarse and tired.
"this……"
Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt an uncontrollable emotion, which made liquid in his eyes and wanted to burst out. He continued, "If this is the case, if they are lucky enough to give birth to their children, what will they rely on to support their children? Jiang Jian lost a child, and there are so many people in Qingpingfang, how many children are they lost?"
"As long as your Majesty..."
"Enough!" Emperor Aoki suddenly shouted loudly.
No one expected that His Majesty suddenly reacted so fiercely.
Wei Zhongxian, who was standing by, had a bad premonition.
Han Lin had no expression on his face and thought to himself, so what? I am just speaking up for justice, being a censor, reporting on the news, and catching shadows...
But at this moment, Emperor Tianqi gritted his teeth and said, "The laws of the ancestors cannot be violated, but can God deceive this?"
While speaking, Han Lin's eyes flashed in front of him, just in front of everyone.
But Emperor Tianqi suddenly punched Han Lin hard.
Han Lin subconsciously wanted to hide.
But it's too late.
A strong wind hit.
Bang!
This punch is straight to the bridge of the middle nose.
Han Lin wailed and covered his blood-seeking nose.
But at this time, Emperor Tianqi had already raised his foot.
Taking advantage of the moment Han Lin's empty door opened, he kicked Han Lin in the lower abdomen.
Han Lin is a weak scholar.
Emperor Tianqi was a strong young man.
What's abnormal is that this guy has really practiced it.
And it's not stopping every day.
Therefore, this kick has an unstoppable momentum, like a storm of wind and a mountain collapse!
boom……
Han Lin only felt pain under his abdomen.
His mind was blank.
Then, my body lost its control.
The whole person flew out.
Before he could wail, he fell heavily, and his head hit the ground first, like a pool of mud, and there was no sound again.
Chapter completed!
