Chapter 279 Resignation 1
End of night!
The night in Beijing is now very cool, and the wind blows at night makes people feel shocked when it is cool.
According to my original plan, I will go to the Taishi Mansion tonight and discuss with him about the canal. At the same time, I have to listen to his opinions on the matter of Jiangzhou. In the afternoon, someone had already come to the palace and asked me to go to court tomorrow morning. It seems that those people are really impatient.
When I went to the Taishi Mansion, I only brought Jian Rufeng. The capital is very safe now, and there is no need to stay with a large group of people to scatter. Moreover, I am not without the ability to protect myself.
Of course, I have to bring gifts to the Taishi Mansion, and the batch of goods from Clinton and the other three people today is undoubtedly a good choice. I chose the best set of teapots and tea cups, and asked someone to find the best nanmu box to put it on, and then planned to give it to the Taishi as a gift.
When we arrived at the gate and after we announced our name, there were naturally servants who took the reins, and at the same time, there were also some servants in the mansion leading the way.
There are not many ways to entertain in the evenings of Dazhou. For people like Taishi, in addition to going to see the plays at night, they just chat with their own family. They are unwilling to go to the theaters that are just like watching the plays, because they lose their identity after all. At the same time, for female members, they usually rarely go out at night. So when it comes to night, many people go back to bed by themselves, or just read books.
After I went in, I realized that the Taishi Mansion was very tight at night and there were almost no figures. In front of me, I could not see anything else except the dim lights that came out of the room.
Under the guidance of the servant, Jian Rufeng and I came to the garden. Jian Rufeng waited at the door, and I went directly to the pavilion in the garden. Under the light, I could vaguely recognize that the person in the pavilion was the Grand Master.
Now the Taishi is looking at the things in his hand carefully using the lights on the pavilion.
I waved my hand and signaled that the servants didn't have to lead the way. Then I slowed down alone, walked behind him, and stayed quietly.
After coming over for a while, he put down what was in his hand and asked softly: "Come?"
"yes!"
I quickly answered respectfully.
Hearing that it was my voice, he did not look back, but pointed to the opposite position and said, "Come and sit!"
"Teacher Xie!"
I replied respectfully again, then sat opposite him, and placed the box in front of him, saying, "This is the student's wish, I hope the teacher will accept it with a smile!"
After taking the box, he didn't look at it, but handed me what he had just seen and said, "You can take a look!"
This is why I noticed that there were many folds piled up on the table in front of him.
I took it and found that the person who wrote the memorial was from the Ministry of Justice. In the memorial, he listed all my crimes in Jiangzhou. The three most important ones were that, first, they poisoned the criminals to death without the permission of the Ministry of Justice. Second, they released the imperial criminals from the court, and these imperial criminals refer to the rest of the Lin family. Third, they had close contact with Miss Lin family, and the matter in Jiangzhou was suspected to be related to me. The handling opinion he asked was to remove my official position and return it to the Ministry of Justice for review, and at the same time, they arrested all the imperial criminals including the Lin family and brought them to justice.
After reading it, I smiled helplessly and handed the post to the Grand Master.
But he pushed all the posts in front of me and said, "These are the same!"
I opened these posts and read them one by one. The general content was almost the same. The only difference was that the signatures were different. I counted them by the way. Not many, only more than twenty, including eight of them above the third grade.
I sighed and said helplessly to the Grand Master: "It seems that my influence on all the adults in the court is not very good. Just such a small matter has caused all the adults in the court to attack me. This is like I don't want me, Deng Long, and I will never give up."
The Grand Master shook his head and said, "It's not just that. If I guess well, there are many in Yang Linguang. You have not come back after going to Jiangzhou for a while, and you can call you missing. Are you angry and looking for someone to post? Now that you are back, why don't you hurry up and study your book?"
When I heard his aggravated "I don't know where to go" I couldn't help but blush. I had been walking for a whole month when I was half traveling and half back to Beijing.
However, I have no choice when others come to me.
So I spread my hands helplessly and said, "What can I do? The adults want to participate in me, but I can't stop them. Besides, I have to let others get angry for a month. They are pillars of the country. If I am intimate, I will have no officials to use them?"
The Grand Master looked at me in confusion and said, "Are you not worried?"
"Worried?" I smiled slightly and asked back, "Why should I worry? These adults' memorials have been handed over long ago. As soon as they appear in the court, they will face their turn of questions. And if I was not wrong, many of them had already united, and this time they were determined to make me look good. Even if I was worried now and couldn't think of any way to deal with it, then it would be better not to worry! Very tired!"
The Grand Master was obviously very interested in my words and asked, "Do you know so much that one of them has united?"
I picked out a few randomly from the comments and placed them in front of him, saying, "You can see that the names of the comments on these comments are different, and the rest of the content is exactly the same, with almost no increase or decrease. Among them, Gu Renjian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is even more outrageous. There is a typo in other people's comments, and he also mistakes!"
After saying that, I picked up the Gu Renjian's memorial and said, "Teacher, tell me, are these people too unprofessional? After all, I am also a third-rank official in the court, and I am both civil and military. Even if I want to impeach, I have to show some professionalism! Moreover, as officials of the court, these adults have to copy a memorial, and they have no future!"
The Grand Master looked at me like a monster, and my performance was too unexpected to him.
If other officials had been facing this situation, they would have been as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, jumping up and down and busy dealing with it. Then someone would be as good as this kid now, even more so, as if the person who was impeached by civil and military officials in the court was not him.
But in my heart, there is another scene.
I don’t know whether I should be honored or sad when I was impeached by the ministers of the court. Although I had already expected this situation today when I decided to promise King Jing that Lin Zhenghe would be brought back to Lin Qian at the same time, and when he was talking to King Jing, he also mentioned this issue, and the only thing he didn’t expect was that he came so quickly.
As for why they impeached me in a tacit understanding this time, it was mainly because I developed too fast in the court. Not only did I have the third rank of martial arts, but I also had the third rank of Wen. Prime Minister, Grand Tutor, and the emperor now valued me, and even had a very shallow relationship with Zhou Wu, Empress, and Empress Dowager. This made them feel a little scared, and made some ambitious people feel that I had threatened them and wanted to get rid of them. Now that I have made such a big mess, I not only poisoned Lin Zhenghe and released the criminals privately, but also brought Lin Zhenghe's daughter back to the capital. How could they not use such a good opportunity? Although they did not know that killing Lin Zhenghe and releasing the Lin family was a transaction between me and the emperor, and the object of the transaction was the emperor's younger brother, the King of Thailand!
Seeing me silent, the Grand Master asked again: "You plan to do this now?"
I woke up, picked up the notes, looked at them one by one, and said helplessly: "I guess if the emperor didn't give me some punishment this time, they wouldn't give up! Even with you and the Prime Minister, I would probably be doomed this time. In order not to worry the emperor and you two, I think my best way now is to retreat to advance. So I decided to resign!"
"What?"
The Grand Master was startled and said, "You are going to resign?"
"Not bad!" I nodded cautiously, then tapped the notes with my fingers and said, "Actually, you always understand that this time, the adults can impeach me so neatly. In addition to the reason for impeachment, there must be many reasons. The most important thing is that I have risen too quickly in the court, which makes them feel a threat. Moreover, many of the people here are actually some of your disciples, teachers, and this time they submit the notes without listening to your opinions, which is also surprising."
After saying that, I sighed heavily and said, "This is the reason why the so-called big tree attracts wind!"
My words seemed to mention his thoughts, so he snorted heavily and said, "These people always think I am old, but they don't know that as long as I am in court, they will not be able to tolerate them being presumptuous! Yang Linguang and I will protect you tomorrow. What do I think they will do?"
I immediately shook my head and said, "No!"
A look of surprise appeared on the face of the Grand Master, and he asked, "Why not? Do you not believe me?"
"No!" I shook my head again and said, "The teacher is getting stronger now. If those people in the court ignore you, they will be blind. And what I said should not be for another reason!"
"Speak!"
I asked quietly, "The teacher can let your granddaughter pretend to be Yun Yao and deceive me into Jiangzhou. I know that Lin Zhenghe's case will eventually involve one person?"
The Grand Master nodded and said, "I know this, that person is the King of Thailand!"
"good!"
I said, "I think you know my character. No matter how brave I am, I dare not poison Lin Zhenghe for the sake of Lin Qian and the rest of the Lin family. Even if I want to save these people, I will not use this method!"
Chapter completed!
