As soon as Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon throne, an official came forward to hand him a book.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you!"
…
More than a dozen people knelt on the ground. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but frowned. What happened again?
What makes these rotten scholars so angry?
Wang Chengen took the papers one by one to Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen took them in his hands and looked at them one by one. He found that they were all about impeaching Lin Fan.
"kindness?
Do you think that arresting Tian Wenzhong was what Lin Fan meant?
How did I hear that this was what Li Jiantai meant?"
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Li Jiantai doubtfully.
Li Jiantai hurriedly walked out and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed my intention to arrest Tian Wenzhong. Tian Wenzhong intends to rebel, and I have found evidence!"
"Moreover, thanks to Lord Wuhou's help, the 50,000 people in Nanjing have been completely subdued. With tigers and leopards riding on them, I believe they will become the elite of my Ming Dynasty soon!"
this……
Hearing that Li Jiantai took the initiative to take the matter on himself, all the officials started talking, and one person said dissatisfiedly: "Li Shangshu, are you trying to excuse Emperor Wuhou?"
"Li Shangshu, you have really disappointed us. The arrest of Tian Wenzhong was clearly the intention of Marquis Diwu, but you took it upon yourself!"
"Li Shangshu, you are His Majesty's minister, not Emperor Wuhou's. You are still pioneering for Emperor Wuhou. Have you ever paid attention to His Majesty?"
The ministers all glared at Li Jiantai. Not only did Li Jiantai not feel any embarrassment, but he said confidently: "Your Majesty, Lord Wu Hou did remind you about this matter. However, Lord Wu Hou did not say that it was the veteran minister who arrested Tian Wenzhong."
What you did.”
"However, Na Tian Wenzhong secretly contacted Zhang Quanyi and secretly controlled 50,000 elite soldiers. Our Ministry of War knew nothing about it. The intention of rebellion is very obvious!"
"The veteran arrested Tian Wenzhong and interrogated the Yan family. They also interrogated some suspected accomplices. They are conducting secret investigations in the past few days. Once they are found out, they will all be arrested."
After Li Jiantai said this, the officials who just handed over the certificate were all stunned. What, is this threatening them?
"Haha! Li Shangshu, are you threatening us?"
"We are alone, and we are not afraid of shadows. Li Shangshu, if you have any other conspiracy tricks, use them!"
…
Li Jiantai was speechless and said: "You guys are in the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy. What can you investigate? This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved."
you!
The dozen or so people all glared at Li Jiantai. They were well-known "admonishers" in the court. His Majesty would pay attention to the information they handed over, but Li Jiantai actually looked down on them.
Emperor Chongzhen really didn't want to see them continue to quarrel, and said in a deep voice: "Okay! I will ask Lin Fan for the specific details of this matter, and I will definitely give an explanation to all the officials."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Li Jiantai stopped and returned to his position.
The dozen or so officials gritted their teeth and stood back to their positions. After retreating from the court, Emperor Chongzhen left the palace accompanied by Wang Chengen.
Lin Fan had a habit of staying in bed. A few days ago, he asked the Jin Yiwei to summon Lin Fan. Afterwards, Lin Fan thought of many harmful ways to retaliate against the Jin Yiwei. After that, no Jin Yiwei dared to summon Lin Fan anymore.
Emperor Chongzhen came to Lin Mansion in person. The servants of Lin Mansion had seen Emperor Chongzhen last time, and they all knelt on the ground. Emperor Chongzhen asked them to lead the way to find Lin Fan.
The servants of the Lin Mansion did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led the way. At this time, Lin Fan was still dreaming when he was pushed awake by the servants of the Lin Mansion.
Opening his sleepy eyes, he saw Emperor Chongzhen.
"His Majesty!"
Lin Fan was shocked.
"Oh! Is this hysteria?
Why do I see this old wimp as soon as I open my eyes? It’s really unlucky.”
Lin Fan then complained in his mind and went to sleep.
For a moment, everyone in the room was stunned. Only Emperor Chongzhen clenched his fists. This kid actually felt that it was unlucky to wake up and see him.
"Master! Your Majesty is here!"
Lin Fu pushed Lin Fan again.
Lin Fan pushed Lin Fu away with force and said: "Your Majesty is attending the morning meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Our Lin Mansion is not the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so why are you here?"
"I am indeed here."
Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
kindness?
Only then did Lin Fan realize that Emperor Chongzhen might have really arrived. He turned around and opened his eyes in confusion. After seeing Emperor Chongzhen's face clearly, he stood up in a hurry.
"Your Majesty! You are really here. I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, so I missed you from afar. Please forgive me!"
Lin Fan quickly stood up and saluted.
"Ma Dan! Why does this old guy come to our Lin Mansion?
You're not asking me for money, right? Where can I get the money?
The drop-in express company is still eating money, with no sign of recovering its capital."
"You can make money selling farmyard manure, but the speed of money coming in is basically the same as the speed of eating money. There is no extra money, wait! Is it because of my marriage to Nalan Yanran?"
"No! This little girl should still be living in my mansion. If this old guy finds out, I don't know what he will say..."
Lin Fan had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a while after hearing this. Lin Fan thought before that he knew something about it. The money consumed by express delivery companies every day was not proportional to the money it earned.
However, Nalan Yanran is sleeping in the Lin Mansion, how come I don't know about this?
Isn't she in the palace?
Although you two are going to get married, you are not married yet!
"Do you still need my forgiveness?
Do you still have me in your eyes?
As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, you never go to the morning court, how unbecoming it is!"
Emperor Chongzhen scolded.
"Your Majesty, I really can't get up."
Lin Fan said.
"Haha! Can't you get up?
Then the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can rise up?
Can I get up?
You have a high and powerful position in the government, so you should set a good example!"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
"Yes! Your Majesty is absolutely right. I just need to go to the morning court on time."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Damn it! I don't know what the meaning of this morning meeting is. It's so early and you don't have time to have breakfast. It's a waste of energy. The problem is that you were handed a discount and you couldn't make a decision at that time."
Lin Fan complained in his heart.
He has always felt that going to morning classes and self-study in the morning is a very stupid behavior. Now it seems that his thinking is still right.
Creak!
Emperor Chongzhen clenched his fist, then unclenched it, and said in a deep voice: "I'm here to ask you, what do you mean by arresting Tian Wenzhong?"
"kindness?
Your Majesty, what do you mean?
Don't talk nonsense, otherwise, I will sue you for defamation. It was Li Jiantai who arrested Tian Wenzhong, not me!"
