The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Emperor Wanli was also confused by the two memorials of "Lin Tailai's backstabbing" and "Xizhimen's chief reported Lin Tailai as a deserter".

These two memorials were submitted at the same time, which was definitely not a coincidence.

After getting off the imperial boat, Emperor Wanli thought about it for a day and a night, but he couldn't figure it out.

When the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department came to deliver today's memorials, Emperor Wanli said to Zhang Cheng, the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department:

"Should we first question Lin Tailai, who was rude and slandered the emperor, and then expose Lin Tailai's crime of desertion when others follow the banner of rescuing Lin Tailai and make a fuss to submit memorials?

In this way, others will have nothing to say, and the momentum of this kind of fuss and slander will be suppressed."

Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly, it shouldn't be so naive, right?

Then he reminded him: "These two memorials were submitted from the Tongzhengsi."

This means that there is no confidentiality measure for the two memorials, and they involve a star figure like Lin Tailai. I am afraid that those who are interested in the outside world know everything they should know.

There are two channels for submitting memorials in the current process. One is the most common one. The Tongzhengsi is responsible for collecting memorials from inside and outside the capital, and then handing them over to the Silijian Document Office of the inner court every day.

Most memorials follow this process. As long as they are noticed by interested people, it is difficult to keep the contents of the memorials confidential.

The other is that the ministers personally go to Huijimen, which is the original Zuoshunmen, and directly hand over the memorials to the eunuchs of the Silijian Document Office.

This method is slightly more confidential than the first one. Only the Silijian, the cabinet, and the emperor can see the contents.

The two memorials of Lin Tailai and Pang Bazong were submitted through the first Tongzhengsi channel, so we can't expect a high degree of confidentiality.

Others, especially the court officials, are not fools.

"What does it mean that these two memorials appeared at the same time?" Emperor Wanli asked.

Zhang Cheng hesitated for a while and replied: "I can only think of two possibilities.

One is that Lin Tailai was not able to return to his post and was resentful, so whether it was slandering the emperor or deliberately being reported, it was to vent his dissatisfaction.

The second is that Lin Tailai was afraid that Your Majesty would misunderstand, so he deliberately left a handle for the crime of desertion to show his openness."

Emperor Wanli asked others again: "What do you think?"

The eunuch Chen Ju replied: "No matter what Lin Tailai thinks, real gold is not afraid of fire."

"How to fire?" Emperor Wanli continued to ask.

Chen Ju said: "Refine the old story of Luo Yuren and let the ministers try Lin Tailai in court."

Emperor Wanli imagined this scene. It should be very interesting, right? Will the ministers beat up Lin Tailai, or will Lin Tailai beat up the ministers?

Subconsciously, he said, "Summon the ministers of the cabinet and the Ministry of Justice to the Wenhua Hall."

The eunuchs on both sides were shocked. The sun has risen? Is the emperor going to attend court?

Emperor Wanli suddenly realized that the rule of not attending court must not be broken! He must not develop the bad habit of attending court when something happens!

Emperor Wanli must not let the ministers know that he still has the subconscious intention to attend court, otherwise he will only be more noisy in the future!

"Forget it, let them try Lin Tailai in the East Court Room!" Emperor Wanli changed his mind and ordered Chen Ju, "You will go to the East Court Room to preside over the trial on my behalf!"

After the explanation, Emperor Wanli said in surprise, "There are so few memorials today?"

In recent days, there have been dozens of memorials per day using disasters to complain about the emperor's misconduct, but today there are only six or seven scattered ones, which made Emperor Wanli quite unable to adapt for a while.

Zhang Cheng speculated, "Perhaps others saw Lin Tailai personally slandering the emperor and father yesterday, and they were afraid of being implicated by Lin Tailai, or perhaps they did not want to be associated with Lin Tailai, so they stopped for the time being."

Emperor Wanli was quite surprised by this, "Lin Tailai actually has this calming effect?"

As Zhang Cheng speculated, the Tongzhengsi could not keep secrets at all, and the content of the memorials of sensitive figures like Lin Tailai would definitely be noticed and spread by interested people.

It immediately caused an uproar in the various government offices.

Many people even thought it was a rumor and did not believe that Lin Tailai would submit such a memorial criticizing the emperor.

Although everyone is speculating, the direction and track of speculation are completely different. How could a traitor like you, Lin Tailai, not hesitate to offend the emperor and make direct criticisms?

Also, don't you know how to characterize this disaster?

You can only benefit if the disaster should be on you, Lin Tailai, who was expelled. As a result, you also followed the trend to criticize the emperor for his immorality. Isn't this a self-destructive behavior?

Therefore, no one could understand Lin Tailai's motives. Everyone who heard the news wanted to rush to Xizhimen and find Lin Tailai in person to find out the truth.

However, Xizhimen is now the focus, and Lin Tailai is the focus of the focus. I don't know how many people are silently paying attention.

Whoever wants to find Lin Tailai is like being put under the spotlight and will be scrutinized by all forces immediately.

Under normal rules, this is obviously a taboo in officialdom and is very inconsistent with the principle of keeping a low profile.

At this time, the considerate emperor issued an order to let the court officials publicly try Lin Tailai.

This gave everyone an opportunity to contact Lin Tailai, and they didn't have to scratch their hearts because of excessive curiosity.

This morning, the sky was just getting light, and Lin Tailai, standing in front of the gate of the watch shop under the city wall, said: "Today is a good day."

??????55.??????

Pang Bazong looked up at the sky that was still half dark. Can you tell whether the weather is good or bad?

At this time, a large group of people moved from the direction of Xizhimen Inner Street.

When they got closer, the leader shouted, "Jinyiwei Beizhenfusi Officer School is here to do business!"

Lin Tailai raised his eyes and laughed dumbly, "It turns out to be you."

It turns out that this person is none other than Liu Xi and Liu Qianhu, who are known as the "Shame of Jinyiwei".

At the beginning, this person was ordered by the original factory official Zhang Jing to go out to Beijing with the edict to capture Lin Tailai. As a result, he was tied up in a car and returned to Beijing, and was sent back to Jinyiwei.

Later, Zhang Jing was framed and removed from office by a certain Hanlin, becoming "the shame of the factory owner", and Liu Qianhu also became "the shame of the Jin Yiwei".

Lin Tailai added, "Did no one else in your Jinyi Guards want to come, so they pushed you out again?"

Liu Qianhu ignored Lin Tailai's teasing and shouted sternly: "I have been ordered to arrest Lin Tailai and go to the East Chamber for trial!"

After Lin Tailai made some observations, he turned to President Pang and said, "He doesn't seem to respect me very much. What should I do?"

Boss Pang took a few steps forward and said politely: "Little brother, I am a few years older than you, and my rank is one level higher than yours. Please listen to my advice.

We are all on official business, but public affairs are public and private affairs are private. We cannot offend others just for the sake of official business, right?

Otherwise, for example now, if you can't bear to see Zhongliang being humiliated and commit suicide by jumping off the Xizhimen gate, who can you go to to reason? "

Liu Qianhu snorted coldly, are you making harsh words and threats to a royal guard?

Mr. Pang continued: "For another example, if Mr. Lin beats you up and then runs away, wouldn't your job be completely ruined? Aren't you the one who will be punished?

And Mr. Lin is already accused of deserting the army, so it doesn't matter if he escapes again.

In comparison, do you think you are losing money? Therefore, when you are on business, you are on business, and don't get into personal grudges for official business. "

Lin Tailai nodded secretly, a boy can be taught! This Pang Boss was finally cultivated.

Liu Qianhu couldn't help but scolded Mr. Pang: "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

Then Liu Qianhu waved his hand, and other official schools surrounded him.

In order to learn from the lessons learned from capturing Lin Tailai last time, this time we brought three teams of 50 people each, for a total of 150 people!

With so many people here, you still want to force yourself to jump off the city wall? Still want to escape? It's all a dream!

At this time, there was a sudden whistle, and countless big men emerged one after another from the surrounding rows of watch shops.

Lin Tailai finally stopped pretending and said with a ferocious smile: "I have two hundred servants here, which side has the most people?"

Liu Qianhu: ""

A moment later, Liu Qianhu was lying on the ground in Xizhimen Inner Street. He remained motionless and allowed several big men to tie him up.

Only a few tears shed from the corners of his eyes, because it was more than ten miles from Xizhimen to the palace, and for him, it would be another large-scale journey to social death.

This time, Mr. Pang was no longer frightened. I don't know if his courage was developed or expanded. He felt that beating more than a hundred Jinyiwei officers was not a big deal.

After all, his old Pang had even reported Lin Tailai. Who else could be more vicious than Lin Tailai?

Lin Tailai commended Mr. Pangba and said, "Congratulations on passing the test. I will make arrangements for you when I come out of the palace this time."

Less than an hour later, outside the right gate of Chang'an, the gatekeepers saw an ordinary civilian carriage.

Sitting in the car was a tall and majestic soldier in a fat red coat, and there was also a guard in brocade clothes tied to the bed of the car.

The soldier in the red fat coat explained to the gate officer: "I am Lin Tailai, the criminal of Xizhimen. Liu Qianhu, the guard in Jinyi, was ordered to escort me to the east room outside the Meridian Gate for hearing the trial."

The gate officer pointed at Liu Qianhu, who was tightly tied up, and confirmed, "Is he the one escorting you?"

Lin Tailai nodded, "That's right."

After thinking for a while, the gate official said strictly: "The carriage is not allowed to enter the right gate of Chang'an!"

Lin Tailai lifted Liu Qianhu from the carriage, followed the rules and said, "Then let's walk in."

Immediately, Lin Tailai carried Liu Qianhu into the right gate of Chang'an, then through Chengtian Gate and Duanmen, until he came to the East Chamber outside the Meridian Gate.

Luo Sigong, the commanding officer of Fusi in Jinyiwei North Town, is personally on duty and is waiting here.

If the outcome of the court trial in Dongchaofang fails, they will directly arrest Lin Tailai and send him to prison! This is also the emperor's will!

Lin Tailai threw Liu Qianhu at Luo Sigong's feet and said loudly: "I, Lin Tailai, were escorted here by your Jin Yiwei Liu Qianhu, and I am waiting to be dealt with!"

Luo Sigong: ""

I wish I could take out the elephant raised by Jin Yiwei and hit Lin Tailai to death! I don’t believe that Lin Tailai can even beat an elephant!

Anyway, now that we are not going to court, the elephant is useless!

Forget it, before the elephant kills Lin Tailai, let Lin Tailai go in and be interrogated by the court.

Lin Tailai bypassed Luo Sigong and walked into the Dongchao room.
