Chapter 309 Gao Gong's rebuke
Gao Gong stood up. Although his rank was not as good as Yan Shifan's, his aura was no weaker than Yan Shifan's.
Gao Gong snorted coldly and said: "Mr. Xiao Ge, do you have any intention? Do you think Shuntian Mansion belongs to your family? How dare you humiliate Shuntian Mansion Yi like this? Do you still have the imperial court in your eyes? Still? Is there your majesty? "
Gao Gong's violent magic output was a direct hit, suppressing Yan Shifan's momentum.
When Yan Shifan heard Gao Gong's voice, he was also furious.
This idiot who is a sophomore in high school has gone too far. If his father hadn't asked him to save some face for this idiot in his sophomore year, Yan Shifan would have had someone deal with him in the Hanlin Academy a long time ago.
Yan Shifan said angrily: "Gao Gong! Do you have the right to speak here? You are a small fifth-rank Hanlin, but you still don't kneel down when you see me. Do you still have the rules of the court in your eyes? "
Gao Gong snorted without giving in: "When has the imperial court ever required lower-ranking officials to kneel down and salute to higher-ranking officials? Besides, I belong to the Hanlin Academy and am not an official of the Ministry of Industry. I have no direct superiority relationship with you, so you want me to kneel down to you, are you crazy?”
Yan Shifan almost rolled his eyes at Gao Gong’s words. This Gao Gong’s words were really too much. .
Isn’t it a common practice that a person of lower rank pleases an official of higher rank?
Moreover, Yan Shifan, who entered and exited the cabinet as the Minister of Industry, already had the de facto status of "Xiaoge Lao". Even if the six ministers met him, which one would not be polite?
But what is this high arch? How dare you speak such truth in front of him? I'm really not afraid that the strong wind will flash your tongue.
Yan Shifan said coldly: "Gao Gong, are you my enemy?"
Gao Gong said disdainfully: "I am just teaching Xiaoge the rules of the old court."
< br>When Yan Shifan heard this sentence, he almost recited it in one breath. It was so irritating.
Who do you think you are? How dare you teach me?
Yan Shifan said angrily: "Gao Gong, don't think that you can do whatever you want now that you are relying on Prince Yu's Mansion. I will tell you the truth today. If you dare to stop what happened today, I guarantee that even Prince Yu will come forward." I can't save you. Besides, it's two questions whether he dares to stand up for you."
As soon as Yan Shifan said this, all the officials present took a breath. Cool air.
If you criticize Gao Gong, just criticize Gao Gong. Why did it involve King Yu?
Even if King Yu is weak and incompetent, it cannot be said openly. If this reaches the ears of the emperor and the emperor blames him, it will be terrible.
Zhang Juzheng, who had been standing aside and watching with cold eyes, immediately grasped this loophole. He stood up from Gao Gong and bowed to Yan Shifan in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
Zhang Juzheng said: "Old Prince Yu must be careful to say that Prince Yu is not someone we and others can comment on. Besides, Gao Xueshi did not say anything wrong. Even if Prince Fu Yin is guilty, the court will hold him accountable." Mr. Ge belongs to the Ministry of Works, and as far as I know, the Ministry of Works does not seem to be held responsible."
Yan Shifan looked at Zhang Juzheng who stood up and felt angry. He knew that Zhang Juzheng was Xu Jie's disciple. , people are also relatively sensitive, and the official positions they hold are all noble positions in the Imperial Academy.
So it is very difficult to find trouble with Zhang Juzheng based on his position and to get rid of Zhang Juzheng.
Moreover, Zhang Juzheng was protected by Xu Jie, so even if Yan Shifan was dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng, he could only watch Zhang Juzheng jumping around in the capital.
Yan Shifan was trembling with anger. As the elder of Xiaoge for so many years, Yan Shifan had never suffered such a big loss.
Today I was humiliated by Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. This is really unbearable!
Yan Shifan said: "Okay, okay, you have learned a lot today. Where are the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple? Are they all dead? This is your business. Are you embarrassed to let me speak for you here? Why don't you stand up and take away Wang Youzhao!" Yan Shifan knows how to behave, but he can't deal with Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, two noble officials with Hanlin background.
So, now Yan Shifan is not going to quarrel with Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng anymore. He knows that this quarrel is coming, and it is also to gain popularity for Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and to cause trouble for himself. .
Therefore, the best way now is to simply withdraw from the matter and let the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple follow the rules to question Wang Youzhao and Hai Rui who were hiding in the dormitory and destroying evidence. This is the way to win!
After hearing what Yan Shifan said, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts. However, the situation was stronger than the person, and Yan Shifan's power and status were much stronger than them.
Moreover, Yan Shifan's father, Yan Song, was also the emperor's trustworthy chief minister of the cabinet. Even their respective ministers had to be treated with respect.
So, even if they were a little unhappy with Yan Shifan's arrogance at this time, they still had to stand up and act according to the rules.
The person from the Ministry of Punishment was a member of the Ministry of Punishment named Li Defang. Li Defang stood up, cleared his throat and started to speak.
"According to the decree, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple came to ask about Shuntian Prefecture, and I also asked Prince Yi of Shuntian Prefecture to answer clearly."
Wang Youzhao was brought to the front desk again.
But at this time, Hai Rui, who had not been seen in the work shed dormitory, also appeared.
After Hai Rui came out, he took off the mask on his face, bowed slightly to the officials in front of him, and then said to Li Defang: "The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple can ask me questions. I know it better than anyone else.”
After Wang Youzhao heard Hai Rui’s words, he was moved to tears.
At this time, Hai Rui took the initiative to meet something like this before others could hide away. How could this not be touching?
When Yan Shifan saw Hai Rui coming out, he couldn't help but snorted, "You damn duck has a tough mouth!"
Li Defang was obviously taken aback when he saw Hai Rui appear and heard Hai Rui's words. , this seems a bit inconsistent with common sense.
However, Li Defang then thought about it. The order from the Cabinet and the Ministry of Punishment was to interrogate Shuntian Mansion and Hai Rui. Since Hai Rui showed up on his own initiative and wanted to answer the questions in person, it was not impossible.
Li Defang asked: "Are you Hai Rui?"
Hai Rui replied: "This is Hai Rui."
Li Defang looked at the dark-faced Hai Rui, who was not tall but powerful, and was amazed in his heart. Hai Rui's name was in the Ministry of Punishment I've heard about it a long time ago.
Especially Hai Rui's record in the Household Department was so impressive that it made people envious and admired endlessly.
Which official in the Ming Dynasty dared to criticize his former boss like this? Moreover, the grade gap between the two is as huge as a chasm!
Li Defang paused and said: "Since the sea trial is willing to take the initiative to reply, this is also a good thing. Then tell me why you concealed it and told the workers and civilians who froze to death outside Chongwen Gate. Cheng is a sheep.”
