Chapter 385 Please punish the thief Song
"I have my own memorial."
This sound was too sudden and caught everyone off guard. No matter it was Emperor Jiajing or all the civil and military officials, Be prepared.
It turned out to be Shen Lian!
Seeing the man who stood up to perform, Zhu Pingan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Zhu Ping'an knew that Shen Lian's letter was written within the past year or two in history, but he did not expect that Shen Lian would submit the letter today. I originally wanted to remind Shen Lian through an anonymous letter or other means, but I didn't expect that Shen Lian would submit a letter today.
Uh
Could it be that Shen Lian forced Yan Shifan to drink because of his drunkenness that night? When he got home and sobered up, he was a little confused. He never thought that he would do this to Yan Shifan. Thinking about the vengeful nature of Yan Song and his son, they simply stopped doing nothing and just wrote a memorial, right?
Actually, the facts are similar to what Zhu Pingan guessed.
However, this drinking incident was just a trigger. Shen Lian had already written to Emperor Jiajing to expose the true face of Yan Song and his son. There happened to be such a drinking incident, and Shen Lian was worried that he would not write the letter again. There was no chance to expose Yan Song and his son, so they simply went home and started writing the memorial materials under the influence of alcohol. They closed the door and thanked guests. They wrote with concentration for three days, revised and revised, revised and revised, and worked hard, and finally completed the memorial before going to court. It’s written.
After taking a bath and burning incense, making arrangements for his wife and children, and ordering a thin coffin for himself, Shen Lian went straight to the court.
Some things always have to be done by someone!
Silence cannot solve the problem. Every day of silence is a day of being an accomplice of the thief!
Since all the ministers and ministers have turned a blind eye and said nothing, let me, Shen Lian, do it!
“I have my own memorial!”
Shen Lian stood up in astonishment and sang the memorial with great enthusiasm, filling the entire court with a sense of awe and righteousness.
Lu Bing, who was standing in the front row of the officials, was also surprised by this announcement from his valued subordinate. He didn't know why Shen Lian didn't say hello to him in advance and wanted to write a letter to express his opinions. Although I didn't know why Shen Lian wanted to submit a letter, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
"What do you want to do?" Emperor Jiajing looked down at Shen Lian and asked with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Song, the great scholar, is a traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people. Please punish Yan Song!" Shen Lian knelt down and folded the memorial on the small yellow door, then pointed at Yan Song with his head held high, and his words were bloody.
When Shen Lian said this, the whole court was in an uproar. All civil and military officials were stunned, and Yan Song was also a little unexpected. Shen Lian, a petty official, got so bold that he dared to say that he was a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people!
"Do you know that sin comes from your mouth?" Emperor Jiajing took the memorial from Xiaohuangmen and looked at Shen Lian and asked.
"I know that there is a traitor in the court, but I have to speak out." Shen Lian stood calmly and replied loudly, "Today the thief Song has committed ten major crimes, and he must be punished for his crimes!"
"Yesterday, I promised to be obedient. Your Majesty is vigorously displaying his martial arts and intends to take advantage of the opportunity to make an expedition to the north. This is the man who all the civil and military ministers are willing to work hard for. However, victory must first be achieved in the temple. In the temple, the evil must be eliminated first, and then the foreign invaders can be pacified. Jinda Scholar Song, whose greedy nature is terminal, and whose foolish and despicable heart is as stubborn as stone. When the master is concerned about the humiliation of his ministers, he does not visit the wise men and consults on strategies, but only makes plans with his disciples. Yes, flatter If you flatter someone, you will bribe them, and if you show favor to someone, you will say, "I will reward you." If you punish someone, you will say, "I will punish you." Love evil but don’t know the court It's so kind and powerful that I can't bear to say it! Let's take the most serious crime. Accepting bribes from generals to start provocations on the border is one thing. The power of the official department, regardless of the state or county The petty officials also take away goods, which causes great harm to the officialdom. The third is that the officials are asked to follow the rules, and the wealth of the village is reduced day by day. The fourth is that the officials are afraid to speak out. Yes. Jealousy of talents. If you disobey his will, you will die. Sixth category. If your son receives wealth, he will blame the world. Seventh category. If you bring wealth back to your family, the moon will be empty and you will be in trouble. Eighth category. , Jiu Ye. "It is ten things to seek revenge from heaven and bring sorrow to your father."
Shen Lian raised his head, pointed at Yan Song, filled with anger and indignation, and listed out Yan Song's ten major crimes one by one.
Every word of it is heart-breaking, and the ten counts all point directly at what Yan Song did. As a party involved, Yan Song knew very well that except for a few far-fetched charges, most of the ten charges were true.
However, Yan Song was not worried at all, his expression remained unchanged, and he looked at Shen Lian calmly, as if Shen Lian was not venting his anger on him.
Indeed, Yan Song was unexpected and even worried when he first heard Shen Lian say that he was a traitor who had brought disaster to the country and the people. Yan Song thought that Shen Lian had caught some fatal trick on him.
However, after listening to Shen Lian's memorial, Yan Song was not worried at all.
Let me reward you, let me punish you, everyone is following my likes and dislikes, and they don’t know the kindness and power of the court. Hehe, Shen Lian, Shen Lian, you are still too young. Are you calling me, Yan Song, Cao Cao, or are you calling His Majesty the incompetent Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?
Sure enough, almost as soon as Shen Liang finished speaking, without Yan Song saying anything, Emperor Jiajing on the dragon throne became angry.
"That's nonsense!" Emperor Jiajing was furious and threw Shen Lian's memorial to the ground. "Last year, you acted recklessly in the Jinluan Palace and ignored the etiquette of people and ministers. I think you violated the law for the first time. Today you are trying to falsely accuse and slander the minister. , for your name. If you are like this, the whole court is in chaos!"
"Your Majesty, everything I said comes from the bottom of my heart. Please investigate carefully." Shen Lian knelt down and knocked hard on the ground. head, and a trace of blood instantly appeared on his forehead.
You speak from the bottom of your heart, does that mean that I, Jiajing, am blind? ! You're still in high spirits!
"Insolent!" Emperor Jiajing was furious, "Twenty imperial staffs, put him in prison, and choose a day to punish him!"
Emperor Jiajing was angry, who dared to come forward to persuade, all civil and military officials Only a few of the officials said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Soon, several imperial guards dragged Shen Lian out, ignoring his shouting, "Your Majesty, please listen to me, please punish Yan Song, Your Majesty."
When Shen Lian was pulled out, Yan Shifan winked at the guards, indicating that he would be beaten to death when the imperial staff was used. Fortunately, Shen Lian was a Jinyi guard, and Lu Bing was executing the imperial staff on the Jinyi guards. At that time, he said hello, and the Jin Yiwei who executed it only hit him three times, and then changed the force and hit it a little lighter. The skin looked torn on the outside, but in fact, the muscles and bones were not hurt on the inside.
After dealing with Shen Lian, Jiajing went down to court angrily, and all the civil and military officials followed suit. After leaving the main hall, a large number of civil and military officials gathered around Yan Song and his son, helping Yan Song "fight the injustice."
Seeing Shen Lian covered in blood being escorted to the prison by the Jinyi guards, Zhu Pingan could not return to his senses for a long time, until a young eunuch told Zhu Pingan that the emperor had invited him.
The civil and military officials watched the young eunuch lead Zhu Pingan away without any surprise.
Because according to custom, after the number one scholar went to court to express gratitude on behalf of the Jinshi, he would be summoned by the emperor alone. (End of this chapter)
