Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Dongyang is sixty-eight years old this year. His family is not a scholarly family, but comes from a military background.

    After the Tumu Fort Incident, Li Dongyang's family settled in Beijing. Later, with his extraordinary talent, he entered Shuntianfu to study. Later, he took the imperial examination in Beijing and won the first place in the second class.

    After becoming a Jinshi, Li Dongyang bestowed the title of auspicious scholar, official editor and editor, and later moved to serve as a bachelor's lecturer and serve as a lecturer in the East Palace.

    In the eighth year of Hongzhi's reign, he entered Zhiwen Yuan Pavilion as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor's degree student to prepare for the mechanical affairs.

    Fifty years since the founding of the dynasty, and seventeen years in charge of the country, Li Dongyang will never change his integrity.

    ???????? Official to Tejin, Doctor Guanglu, Zuo Zhuguo, Young Master and Crown Prince Taishi, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Bachelor of Huagaidian.

    Being an official like Li Dongyang has basically come to an end, and all that is left is to seek a posthumous name.

    Lin Li didn¡¯t understand why Li Dongyang wasn¡¯t satisfied since he was already a highly respected minister.

    Snapped!

    Lin Li threw a stack of memorials in front of Li Dongyang and said coldly: "Do you know what these are?"

    Li Dongyang didn¡¯t even read the memorial. Instead, the old god shook his head and said: ¡°No need to read it, I know, these are all the evidence you listed for my crime!¡±

    Lin Li asked curiously: "Did you expect this day?"

    Li Dongyang looked at Lin Li calmly and said, "King Yue, are you wondering why I did those things?"

    Lin Li said in a deep voice: "You are already a highly respected minister, why are you still colluding with those who are against the king in order to overthrow the imperial court!"

    Over the past six months, Lin Li interrogated the Eighteenth Route Rebels, but he did not expect to find out some interesting things, especially Prince Ning.

    Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao has been plotting rebellion in recent years and has given gifts to many ministers in the court. He also keeps a list of them.

    After being imprisoned, Prince Ning may have planned to hand over the bribery list to Lin Li directly because I was not good and everyone should forget about it.

    The list is very long. At least 60% of the officials in the court have received bribes from Prince Ning.

    Among them are Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Yang Tinghe, the second assistant!

    Lin Li also understood that in the officialdom, bribery and bribery were too common, especially among officials in the Ming Dynasty, whose salaries were already low, and there were very few people without financial problems.

    So Lin Li didn¡¯t intend to make an issue out of that list!

    What Lin Li didn¡¯t expect was that as the investigation deepened, Lin Li discovered that during the Eighteenth Route rebellion against the king and the ¡°Qingjun side¡±, many officials in the court secretly communicated with each other and even secretly helped.

    This has touched Lin Li¡¯s bottom line!

    It¡¯s okay to accept bribes in normal times. When the country is in crisis, you don¡¯t want to serve the country, but secretly hold back the country. This is intolerable!

    Lin Li had no mercy for those people. As long as the evidence was conclusive, he directly sent them to prison. After being whipped with torture tools, everyone confessed their accomplices!

    At this time, something unexpected happened to Lin Li.

    After investigation, Lin Li discovered that the person in the court who helped the rebels the most was actually Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the cabinet.

    During the civil strife, he not only secretly helped several rebels against the king, but also secretly provided food and fodder for the anti-king army through his family's connections in the south.

    Lin Li cannot tolerate this kind of blatant traitorous behavior!

    After obtaining conclusive evidence, Lin Li went directly to the Li Mansion, only to find that the huge Li Mansion was already very deserted. Li Dongyang dismissed his family in advance!

    Because his sin will implicate the nine tribes!

    "I have been an official for nearly fifty years, and I have a sharp eye. I can tell at a glance whether I am a human or a ghost!" Li Dongyang said to Lin Li:

    "But I didn't expect that I was deceived by you! It should be said that everyone was deceived by you, deceived by your treacherous and loyal appearance!"

    Lin Li narrowed his eyes and sat calmly opposite Li Dongyang.

    "Are you talking about me or yourself?" Lin Li said disdainfully:

    "Master Li, you can be considered a fourth-generation veteran! When Emperor Hongzhi died, he appointed you as the Minister of Guan Ming, and Emperor Zhengde also asked you to be the Minister of Guan Ming, but what have you done?

    You are colluding with foreign vassals and intending to rebel!

    "The four words "treacherous and loyal" are more suitable for you!  "

    Li Dongyang closed his eyes silently, with some tears in the corners of his eyes.

    "I am truly ashamed of two generations of emperors, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to usurp the throne for you, a treacherous minister and traitor!"

    Lin Li snorted coldly: "Master Li, be careful what you say, I have never usurped the throne!"

    Li Dongyang suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Lin Lida and said: "Although you have not usurped the throne, you have usurped power, emptied the power of the emperor, and exercised the power of the emperor!

    How did the late emperor die, you and I know clearly in our hearts. I only hate that the old minister is incompetent and unable to avenge the late emperor and forCome on escort!  "

    Lin Li smiled and said: "So, you colluded with other places to rebel against the king, just to eliminate me! Protect the current emperor!"

    Li Dongyang stood up, pointed at Lin Li and said: "Zhu Wuwu, do you think no one knows about your secret threats to the ten generals and secretly poisoning the late emperor?

    There is no airtight wall in the world, and your conspiracy is not so tight that it can penetrate every hole!  "

    Lin Li was not angry when he heard Li Dongyang¡¯s accusation. Instead, he crossed his legs, looked at Li Dongyang and said:

    "Master Li, please stop talking so much about yourself, we are the same kind of people, and you are not that loyal to the royal family!"

    Lin Li also stood up and stood opposite Li Dongyang. The two were close at hand. Lin Li looked down at Li Dongyang in a condescending manner and said:

    "You colluded to rebel against the king, not for the current emperor, not for the country, and not for the sake of revenge for the late emperor, but for the rights of the cabinet and the interests of the gentry group!"

    Li Dongyang trembled all over, took a step back slightly, and his momentum weakened.

    "What nonsense are you talking about?"

    Lin Li smiled and said: "Do you think I don't know the interest relationship between you scholar-bureaucrats and the Jiangnan gentry group?

    ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t know the rights of the cabinet?

    ¡°You think that this king is a fool of Zhengde who was deceived by the sanctimony of you Qingliu ministers!  "

    Li Dongyang sat on the chair fiercely, his eyes flickering, but he kept saying that Lin Li was "spewing at others".

    Lin Li sneered: "Master Li, where did your Li family get the thousands of hectares of farmland in Jiangnan? Where did Yang Tinghe, the second minister of the cabinet, buy the property in Jiangnan three years ago?"

    "The reason why your cabinet colluded against the king is just to gain sole control of power, thereby evading the emperor and controlling the real power of this country!

    We are all the same people, it¡¯s just that my skills are at a higher level!  "

    Lin Li took out a memorandum, threw it in front of Li Dongyang, and said, "All the dirty things your Li family did in collusion with the Jiangnan gentry are written in this. Mr. Li, would you like to read it?"

    Li Dongyang seemed to be frightened and did not dare to touch the memorials.

    "What do you want to do?" Li Dongyang said with trembling lips.

    Lin Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, walked up to Li Dongyang, looked down at him, and said:

    "The work of the cabinet is too hard. From now on, memorials from various places will not be sent to the cabinet, but will be sent directly to the Royal Palace of Yue!"

    Li Dongyang widened his eyes and said: "You want to evacuate the cabinet and take over all the power!"

    Lin Li confidently said: "Do you still have the ability to resist?

    ??Tell the truth!  If you, Li Dongyang, are willing, you can also be the chief assistant of your cabinet. Maybe after your death, the emperor will give you the posthumous title of "Wen Zheng".

    "If you don't want to, tomorrow your Li Dongyang's collusion with the king and your intention to rebel will be spread throughout the world, and the evidence of the Li family's crimes in Jiangnan will be brought to the court!"  "

    Li Dongyang trembled: "You are threatening me!"

    Lin Li said proudly: "Yes, I am threatening you, but I don't know if Mr. Li will risk the future of the Li family!"

    Cold sweat has covered Li Dongyang's face. He is not afraid of death, even if the nine tribes are destroyed, but he is afraid that after his death, Lin Li will be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Ming Dynasty forever.

    "Okay!" Finally, Li Dongyang whispered one word!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
