Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

In the memorial prepared by someone else, Jia Shishi explained in detail how he framed Lin Mingan.She said that Concubine Zhen in the palace knew that Lin Mingan was Lin Ruhai's biological son. She threatened Jia Yuanchun's life in the palace and the safety of Jia's family, and sent Lin Baifu to instigate her to take the life of Jia Min's mother and Lin Ruhai's mother-in-law. He came to sue Lin Mingan for his unfilial behavior of denying his parents.He wanted to take advantage of this incident to ruin Lin Mingan's reputation and ruin his future.Later, they sent people to bribe Lin Ze and Jiangnan officials to tamper with the Lin family tree and government household registration, which was also handled by the Zhen family.Otherwise, her Jia family has long been in decline, has no real power, and is far away from the capital, how can she reach the south of the Yangtze River?

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and everyone was shocked!Someone actually dared to sue Concubine Zhen directly, and the one who sued Concubine Zhen was Jia Shi, who was in the same camp as Concubine Zhen?This is incredible!You know, the Zhen family and the Jia family are old relatives who have watched and helped each other for decades, Jia Shishi has always been attentive to Concubine Zhen, and not long ago, Concubine Zhen took the initiative to stand up and support Jia Shishi!Why all of a sudden, the situation suddenly changed, and this one came?But this only shows that this matter is not groundless, and there must be a very complicated hidden secret in it!

Immediately, the ruling and opposition parties were discussing a lot, and their positions were very different from each other.The Zhen family was not originally a famous family, and unlike the four kings and eight princes who rose to power because of their military exploits, their foundation was shallow. It was all because the deceased old lady of the Zhen family was the emperor's nurse, and the concubine Zhen in the palace was favored by the emperor. Rise.Civil servants have always regarded themselves as the children of saints, how can they see that the Zhen family, who has made a fortune due to nepotism, is as arrogant and extravagant as the emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone Concubine Zhen, a shallow woman who controls the harem and confuses the emperor. Zhen Jia internal dispute, happy to see the success, have demanded a serious investigation into the matter.

Some courtiers on the side of the Zhen family raised objections, saying that Concubine Zhen had been living in the deep palace for many years and had never known Lin Mingan before, and the Zhen family had no enmity with him, so why would they want to frame him?This is clearly because Jia Shishi saw what he had done and was afraid of being questioned by the court, so he desperately wanted to drag Concubine Zhen into the water together, in a vain attempt to make the emperor afraid of the identity of Concubine Zhen, stop pursuing her, and ask the emperor to investigate clearly!

This argument sounds reasonable, and the officials are also puzzled by it.At this time, Prince Zhongshun took the lead to stand up as the pioneer of Emperor Yongjia.

He said that when Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, he secretly gave Emperor Yongjia a secret report, which could explain the reason why the Zhen family wanted to deal with Lin Mingan: Lin Ruhai didn't die of serious illness, he died of poisoning, although the evidence of poisoning Most of them have been erased, but Lin Ruhai judged in the testament that it was the murderous hands of the Zhen family.Because he is the censor of salt inspection in Yangzhou, he knew that the previous censors of salt inspection were persecuted by the Zhen family, and in the name of welcoming the holy driver, he embezzled a large amount of salt tax money.When he saw that the ledger was wrong, he was deeply worried and worried that he would be charged with corruption in the future, so he told the emperor the inside story.Unexpectedly, his actions were discovered by the Zhen family, who secretly ordered him to kill people to silence him.He knew that time was running out, and the Zhen family was powerful, and he was worried that something bad would happen to his only daughter, so he didn't dare to speak out.Secretly sent the collected crimes of the Zhen family to the emperor, and asked the emperor to investigate clearly, and to eliminate this disaster for the people of the country, he should also be relieved under the nine springs.

"The emperor was deeply shocked when he received Lin Ruhai's legacy. He ordered me to investigate secretly to see if the evidence against the Zhen family was true. At the same time, in order to protect Lin Ruhai's daughter, he gave her the support of the Lord Xiang and let her live in the Jia family. After all, Jia's family and Zhen's family are old, so it's not enough to kill an orphan girl. Since Lin Ruhai's death, I have followed the emperor's order, and have been secretly monitoring the Zhen's family. I have collected a lot of evidence, but the emperor is concerned about the face of the emperor. , quite difficult."

"But I never expected that the Zhen family would be so reckless and arrogant. Why did the Zhen family want to frame Lin Ming'an? Isn't that simple?" Prince Zhongshun snorted coldly, "Lin Ming'an was indeed Lin Ruhai's own son, although he had already There is no relationship between Lin Ruhai and Lin Ruhai, but the Zhen family is the murderer of Lin Ruhai. Naturally, he feels guilty and worried that he will avenge his biological father. Therefore, he coerced Jia Shi and Jiangnan officials, and let Jia Shishi came to sue, and forged and tampered with the relevant documents. Now, I have the confession written by Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, in which he explained in detail how he could not stand the persecution of the Zhen family, and ordered someone to secretly tamper with Lin Qing The household registration situation of the family. Jia Yucun was quite scheming, and he was afraid of getting burned, so the reform was not thorough and ambiguous. The people I sent found a copy of Lin Qing's household registration at the Gusu Education and Political Office, and found something wrong. Later Follow the clues and find out about Jia Yucun. He didn't want to take responsibility for the crime, so he confessed what the Zhen family did, and wanted to take the blame and make meritorious service."

"Your Majesty, therefore, I dare to conclude that the Zhen family is inseparable from Lin Ruhai's murder and Lin Ming'an's being framed. I implore Your Majesty to investigate the crimes of the Zhen family, lest the villainous people run rampant and chill the hearts of loyal and good ministers." !" Prince Zhongshun said impassionedly: "If it involves Concubine Zhen, please don't worry about it. After the investigation to the end, the clearer will be cleared, so don't be taboo! If Concubine Zhen wants to obstruct it, hmph, the emperor will immediately Following the rules, the harem meddling in politics must not be tolerated! Don't say she is just a concubine, even if she is the empress dowager or empress dowager, she cannot go beyond the family law of the ancestors!"

"Lord Zhongshun's words are very true, the ministers are waiting for you!"

"My lord is dedicated to the country, and I ask the emperor to adopt his faithful advice and investigate this matter strictly to reassure people's hearts!"

"Murdering and framing and mutilating court officials are serious crimes! If it is proved to be true, the Zhen family will be punished according to the law, and the crime will not be forgiven!"

"Jiangnan Kuzhen's family, Jiuyi, ask the emperor to be the master for the people, and return the world to a bright future!"

""

The courtiers who supported Emperor Yongjia, the courtiers who had been indignant towards the Zhen family and Concubine Zhen for a long time, and the courtiers who were smart in their minds spoke out one after another, and all the courtiers in the court were speaking generously.

When Emperor Yongjia saw this, he naturally pushed the boat along the way, and he showed Lin Ruhai's legacy to his ministers in court.As expected of Lin Ruhai's background in Tanhua, the legacy he wrote was so tearful and tearful every word.Seeing this, everyone's emotions became agitated, and they all spoke in unison, strongly demanding that the investigation be clear, and that the culprit should not be allowed to go unpunished.Just kidding, the Zhen family dares to use this method to get rid of their political opponents. If they don't punish them severely, aren't they afraid that someone will follow suit?At that time, everyone will be in danger!

Emperor Yongjia was kind and generous, and he readily accepted the suggestions of his ministers, saying that he would be fair and strict, and not favoritism. He made a decision at the court meeting on the spot, and ordered Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Overwatch Council to send out capable men and horses to cooperate in investigating the case. Prince Zhongshun is personally responsible, and must find out the truth, Lin Ruhai who was murdered, Lin Mingan who was wronged, and the more common people who were abused by the Zhen family.

Some ministers with clear eyes and bright hearts looked at each other with awe in their hearts.Emperor Yongjia lay dormant for a long time, and finally found a good time to take advantage of this incident to attack the Zhen family and Concubine Zhen.They knew very well that the ultimate goal was actually aimed at the next Supreme Emperor!As you can see, the battle between the two generations of emperors has officially begun today!

Concubine Zhen fainted immediately when she heard the news from the previous dynasty.She never imagined that Jia Shishi, who had been friends with her for decades and always flattered her, dared to stab herself behind her, bloody!Conscience of heaven and earth, she was completely wronged in this matter.Of course she was willing to cause some trouble for Emperor Yongjia, so she supported Jia Shishi's complaint. She had never even met Lin Ming'an before.She has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she is busy serving the Supreme Emperor every day, hoping that he will live a long life, so how can she have other thoughts?

Jia Shishi, you duplicitous and unpredictable villain, I will never forgive you!Concubine Zhen roared in her heart.She wished she could tear Jia Shishi to pieces immediately, but she couldn't get out of the palace.In her first reaction, she thought of Jia Yuanchun, if she couldn't find Jia Shishi, it would be better to find her trouble first.Concubine Zhen angrily ordered Jia Yuanchun to come to see her immediately, and wanted to ask her how the Jia family dared to frame her?

Unexpectedly, after half a day, the palace servants who went to summon came back to report that Jia Yuanchun was forbidden to go out in the palace by the empress' order, and he was not allowed to see anyone.Hearing this, Concubine Zhen couldn't bear her temper and went to Kunning Palace in person to negotiate with the queen.Contrary to the gentle and respectful attitude towards her in the past, the queen received her coldly, telling her that it was the emperor's will and she could not make the decision.He also reminded her in a serious tone that the concubine was involved in Jia Shishi's pleading sheet, and it was reasonable for the concubine to stay in the palace peacefully and wait for the results of the investigation.Come on, let's see off the guests!

The change in the Queen's attitude, as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on Concubine Zhen's head, made her stunned.She was a little panicked, and hurried to find the Supreme Emperor who was obsessed with alchemy at a critical moment.

The Supreme Emperor was disturbed by the interruption of his cultivation, and was a little displeased. After hearing the cry of Concubine Zhen, he was startled and angry, and immediately ordered someone to summon Emperor Yongjia to meet him.

Emperor Yongjia and Prince Zhongshun came together, and the two came to the Taiji Palace of the Supreme Emperor leisurely.Before the Supreme Emperor could question him, Prince Zhongshun stepped forward and explained the matter in detail, reminding the Supreme Emperor that there is a lot of excitement in the court right now, especially among the civil servants. Violence and cruelty, civil servants are sad when rabbits die and foxes, how can they tolerate it?Does the Supreme Emperor really want to risk the disgrace of the world and favor his relatives?No, it's not a foreign relative, it's just the natal family of a favored little wife!

It is inconvenient for Emperor Yongjia to say some things, so Prince Zhongshun naturally has his younger brother to do his best.He knew his position very well, and he had just received great benefits from Emperor Yongjia, so he naturally wanted to reciprocate and charge forward for him.Anyway, he was not famous as a pillar of a virtuous king, so what does it matter if he is talked about as unfilial, can he still erase his prince position?As long as you hold Emperor Yongjia's thigh tightly, the opinions of others will not be affected at all.

"You are presumptuous!" Taishanghuang cursed angrily, but Prince Zhongshun, who couldn't take oil and salt, couldn't think about it.But he didn't dare to investigate the matter of the Zhen family.He knew in his mind that more than half of the salt tax and weaving silver embezzled by the Zhen family were used on him, or sent to the deposed prince according to his will.Once these inside stories are involved, wouldn't it ruin his reputation for the rest of his life?

The Supreme Emperor ignored Prince Zhongshun, and forcibly ordered Emperor Yongjia to hold it high and let it go, not to blame the Zhen family. For Lin Ruhai's death, just push a few scapegoats to settle it, and he would better support his daughter and settle the matter.As for Jia Shishi, she first falsely accused Lin Ming'an and then Concubine Zhen. She was guilty of a serious crime and should be severely punished.

Emperor Yongjia sneered in his heart, the Supreme Emperor's control over the court is declining, it seems that the exposure of Lin Ruhai's legacy has not yet reached his ears.The timing was very good, and Emperor Yongjia did not refute in person.After returning, he discussed with Prince Zhongshun, Lin Mingan, and Prince Teng.

Within two days, the words of the Supreme Emperor were widely circulated in the ruling and opposition parties.The civil servants were all frightened and angry, this is what the faint king did!The censors were all gearing up to concentrate their firepower on impeachment, and the courtiers all filed memorials to oppose it. The Supreme Emperor and Zhen Taifei aroused public outrage.
