As the right-hand assistant of Chen Bi, the former Minister of Posts and Communications Department, Liang Shi was very fond of the party. In the investigation and handling of the case on Jinpu Road, Na Tong tried every means to protect him and excuse him, which was enough to make people think that the two were "deep and deep feelings". After Na Tong became the Minister of Posts and Communications Department, Na Tong's reliance on Liang Shi made everyone in the court and the country regard Liang Shi as Na Tong's confidant.

The emperor actually asked Liang Shi about his evaluation, wasn't Yuanmu begging for fish? Na Tong, Yi Li and others were obviously relieved and had extremely high expectations for Liang Shi's reply; and several censors already looked resentful on their faces, and even the neutral officials felt that it was unusually reasonable. But Cen Chunxuan and Duan Fang were very calm, and the expressions on their faces did not change at all.

Liang Shi's reply was not loud, but it sounded like a shocking thunder to everyone.

"Since I was taught, I have known that the four characters of "loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, and righteousness" are the foundation of a person's life. Although Western learning is booming and Western affairs are fashionable, I never dare to forget the teachings I received at my young age. The great master has known me for many years and has always appreciated me very much. It can be said that I have a great kindness. If I have some words and deeds that are not conducive to his words and deeds, it is unrighteous. The king promoted the ministers to ordinary people, rewarded the ministers for fame and honor, and appointed them to important positions. Now I ask questions. If I do not answer according to the truth, it is a deception of the king and disobey the emperor, and I am disloyal. Loyalty is the leader, and the ministers are better to live in unrighteousness, so I should not be unfaithful."

As soon as this statement was spoken, the whole hall was in an uproar. It was not the time when the Imperial College discussed loyalty, filial piety, court etiquette, and morality. It was a completely unreasonable struggle in the court. Liang Shi actually talked about such a big gossip that "it is better to live in a bad place than to be unfaithful." It was a deep intention.

After all, Na Tong is a scholar known as the "three talented men under his rank", so of course he can understand Liang Shi's subtext. His heart, which is already extremely fragile, seemed to be suddenly hit hard. His face turned pale, like the kind of good Huiyun Xuan paper.

Lin Guangyu calmed down and said seriously: "I heard that there is a difference between righteousness and small righteousness. There is a difference between being more important than Mount Tai and being lighter than a feather. Although it is also righteousness to harm the public welfare of the world for one person's private kindness, it is a minor righteousness to be lighter than a feather; sacrificing personal feelings for the blessings of the people of the world is the true meaning, and it is more important than the great righteousness of Mount Tai. Today, the truth is clear, so you can just say it bluntly."

"As soon as this is the case, I will say it." Liang Shi raised his head and glanced at Yi Li and Na Tong with infinite complex eyes. He said steadily, "What Duan Duan said is generally true. Since he became the Minister of Posts and Communications Department, he has been extremely enthusiastic about silver and money, but he has no attention to government affairs. I have been trying hard to persuade him but still refuse to listen. I originally meant to report and expose him, but because of his personal kindness, I have been hesitating until now. Please forgive me."

After saying that, tears fell like rain, and his body staggered, almost unable to control himself.

"What?" The Tong was about to faint, and Yi Li even stomped her feet.

Lin Guangyu sighed in his heart. He really should not underestimate the acting skills of these characters. Liang Shi had decided to abandon Qing as early as the last railway overhaul. That party, now hesitated and expressed regret in regret. The word "forgive sin" points out his attitude of being loyal to the king's affairs, and on the other hand, it also highlights his unyielding "diligence" - it is really a public and private charity, no matter how you say it, you are all good people.

Duan Fang and Cen Chunxuan showed a faint smile. Duan Fang visited several secretly in the past two days, not only successfully received the cooperation and support of Cen Chunxuan, but also lurking chess pieces like Liang Shi and Zai Ze began to float to the surface.

As expected, Zaize took a step forward and said loudly: "I also have this report." After that, he said with a firm statement that he reported and exposed the bribery situation when Na Tong investigated the Jinpu Road case. He said it with a slight and vivid look, which made people unable to believe that this was a fabricated statement.

"I'm asking for advice." Rong Qing, the Minister of Rites, also stood up. He stated the fact that Na Tong was not doing his job properly and wasted his government affairs one by one. As the most rigid and rigorous conservative, Rong Qing hated Na Tong, and his hatred was even more than that of the enlightened. To put it in his words, "The fake foreigners still did some practical things after all, and they don't care about their gains and losses, at least they want to do good things. But some people's minds are a bit hateful than borers." Among some of them, Na Tong is on the list.

After a while, Yan Xiu, Minister of Education, the new military service, and Dai Hongci, Minister of Justice, also spoke to condemn Na Tong's evil deeds. These two people have been blushing in the official system reform recently. Now they don't fight back. When will they wait? The wall is falling and everyone pushes them. The court suddenly becomes a criticism meeting to condemn Na Tong. If everyone's verbal crimes are true, ten of them will not be enough to kill them.

Na Tong was already trembling all over. Yi Li was panicked and inconvenient to speak. She could only signal Xu Shichang frequently with her eyes, hoping to let him stand up and block it. Xu Shichang initially pretended to be deaf and dumb, but later he couldn't resist it. He said with a tough bullet and said, "Duan Fang, Zhang Xun was killed in rebellion. It's rumored that you are involved with him. I wonder if there is any explanation?"

As soon as this statement was made, Yi Li was overjoyed, and the spirit of the party members was revived, and they were ready to make a comeback and counterattack.

Duan Fang's face showed an extremely angry expression and shouted: "Zhang Xun rebelled, and there was a mistake in knowing people. There was no crime of being accomplice. I am loyal, and the heaven can tell me!" When he said excitedly, he straightened up and pointed at Na Tong with his finger and shouted: "To show his innocence, I am very willing to wait for the Summer Palace to argue with this person in person and ask the emperor to fulfill his wishes."

This trick was used by Na Tong to deal with Sheng Xuanhuai last time, but he didn't expect that the retribution would be like this. Since joining two corruption groups, it has become the most feared thing for the important officials of the court to pay attention to the Summer Palace for recuperation. The mountains and rivers and the beautiful scenery are actually as scary as hell.

There is nothing more powerful than the level of persuasion that is more powerful than the help of the little ones. Xu Shichang's political power added two extra points in Lin Guangyu's heart. Duan Fang's response was even more sophisticated, and the moves were approaching Na Tong's key points. The night before, Xu Shichang and Duan Fang arranged a double act. Xu Shichang's question seemed to be murderous intent every step, but in fact he was shocked and safe.

"Since the official is right and the official is right, there is always one party wrong. Wang Shang, pass on my order, and the Minister of Posts and Communications Department Na Tong

The Governor Duan Fang worked hard and made great contributions, and he worked hard for many years. He was particularly rewarded with a holiday in the Yishu Festival in March!”

I really admire the fake Summer Palace and ordered the decree. The ministers were uproared and gritted their teeth and were worried, and all kinds of expressions were written on their faces without exception, making people feel the richness of human expressions.

Yi Li was at a loss and looked at Lin Guangyu's eyes with a cold look. When he reached his mouth, he couldn't help but shrink back, and could only lower his head and say nothing. Na Tong originally expected Yi Li to speak out for help, but now that's the case, his blood and blood surged upwards, and then he collapsed to the ground and could no longer move.

"Dai Hongci, this matter is related to two important officials. It is not a trivial matter. You can take on the important task of investigating and handling the matter?" Lin Guangyu thought about the problem and prepared his words carefully.

"I think Cen Zhongtang has been an old minister, has good experience in handling cases and is fair and selfless, so it is most suitable for him to handle this matter."

Yi Li was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Cen Chunxuan handled the case? Doesn’t this mean that Tongdi was sentenced to death before the case was decided? No, absolutely no! But he couldn’t say this in person. Otherwise, it would cause open confrontation in the court. Who would let him speak? His eyes turned around, and all the party members were hanging their heads a little far away, and none of them dared to meet his gaze. He was quite angry.

—

"Uncle Qing, what do you think?"

"Well... well." Yi Li was so anxious that he scratched his head. After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, "Cen Zhongtang's ability is certainly unspeakable, but as the emperor said, it is of great importance and involves important officials. It must be treated with caution. The slave thought that Cen Zhongtang was the chief judge, and two other deputy judges were appointed to assist in the investigation." According to his consideration, Cen Chun, the chief judge, would definitely not be able to take it down, it depends on whether the two deputy officers could be used to limit the power of the chief officer so that the bureau would not be too embarrassed.

"Uncle Qing's words are reasonable." Lin Guangyu had a clear understanding of Yi Li's intention at a glance, but he still calmed down and asked quietly, "I wonder who is recommended as the deputy judge?"

"The slave dared to recommend Xu Zhongtang and Dai Zhongtang. Xu Zhongtang has been in the center for a long time, and has been a mature country and has a good relationship. Dai Zhongtang is in charge of the Ministry of Law, is proficient in the law and is skilled in handling cases. The slave thinks they are all extremely suitable candidates."

Referring Xu Shichang and Dai Hongci? This is an impartial idea, and Lin Guangyu had to nod. Otherwise, if he publicly questioned the ability of these two ministers in the court, how would he face the ministers in the future?

“Add to.”

"Your Majesty, I have me to report on the matter of the trial officer." Cen Chun, who had been watching coldly, suddenly stood up.

"speak."

Yi Li sneered in his heart, Cen Chunxuan is so brave. You have to complain for a long time that the emperor has agreed to, so don’t take the authority of the emperor seriously? Let’s hear what you say, if there is any mistake, I will directly grab you.

However, Cen Chunxuan actually said: "I have an old case that needs to be verified and has a interest in this case. We must avoid suspicion. Therefore, I beg the emperor to remove me from the position of presiding officer and ask others for another person."

Why is this? What Duan Fang said today is extremely terrifying. Could it be that Cen Chunxuan would say more earth-shaking words? The court officials were talking about it, and it was particularly unclear.

"Oh?" Lin Guangyu became interested, "What old cases do you have to investigate? The court is troublesome, but it's not too popular to turn over old accounts."

"What the emperor said is a kind word from a king. The partial minister is stubborn and thinks that the old account is unclear and the new account is full of knots. This old account must be turned over."

"Since that's the case, then let's say it." The king and his minister were having a puzzle, and the audience was confused. Someone was very nervous - whose old account was to be turned over by "official slaughter"?

"A few days ago, I met with several old friends from Zhili. Although I was old, I never forget the past. They gave me an old newspaper, which was the old work of the Censor Jiang Chunlin."

When Jiang Chunlin and Yi Li heard this, they suddenly felt like five thunders thunders, their faces were uneasy, and their expressions changed drastically - it was really an old case!

A few years ago, when the Northeast was opened, Yuan Shikai put in a lot of effort to bribe Yi Li and his son to arrange personnel in order to arrange personnel. Among them, Duan Zhigui was the most famous for purchasing the singer Yang Cuixi to offer to Zai Zhen. Zai Zhen was always lustful, so Duan agreed to his preferences and presented a beautiful singer Yang Cuixi. Zai Zhen was overjoyed. Later, when he replied, he arranged all the books according to Yuan Shikai's list, turning the Northeast into a private land in Beiyang. Duan Zhigui jumped into the Heilongjiang Governor and appointed a governor.

After Cen Chunxuan and Qu Hongji learned about this, the two ordered the censor Zhao Qilin to submit a memorial to impeach him. However, Yuan Shikai was cunning and cunning. Before the news was heard, Yang Cuixi was the first to say that Yang Cuixi was the maid of a large salt merchant in Tianjin and transferred him to the police. Cixi sent ministers to investigate and deal with it at that time, but the people who investigated were all deceived by Yuan. After returning, he reported the statement that "the situation is true", and Zhao Qilin was therefore dismissed from office. Another censor Jiang Chunlin persisted and conducted in-depth research, and wrote "Six Questions" in the newspaper, questioning Yuan. Qingdi's plan to "conceal the world across the sea", but was forcibly blocked by Yuan Shikai. This case later became the predecessor of the Ding Mo Dasan case.

But no matter what, Yang Cuixi's case has always been so stating that it has not turned over. Now Cen Chun's old words are mentioned again. If he turns over, I am afraid that Ding Mi Nian will have to turn over all things - can Yi Li not be in a hurry? He was anxious and did not dare to speak out, so he could only turn his attention to Xu Shichang, because Xu was the governor of the three eastern provinces at that time, and once the case was reversed, he would be implicated. I hope he could help him with the intention of losing his lips and cold teeth.

But Xu Shichang obviously had a wrong intention, but instead reported to him: "The emperor, since Cen Zhongtang expressed doubts about the case, I was also involved in the case back then, so I must avoid suspicion."

You are so quick! Yi Li was anxious and didn't care too much. He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has made a conclusion in the past. Now I will mention it. Should I question her decision? Cen Zhongtang was the most favored by the Empress Dowager and was so forgot about his roots. I thought he would be scolded severely."

He was scary when he brought out Cixi's reputation again? Lin Guangyu frowned.
