Chapter 773: Do you think you can retreat
The conflict is about to break out.
Ye Chunqiu's words calmed down the scene again.
Since Jiao Fang is the presiding judge and he volunteered, it's better now. Halfway through the trial, he hid aside to watch the fun. At this time, the king and his ministers were already at odds, and no one cared about this for the time being.
But Ye Chunqiu saw this. Since you, Jiao Fang, want to escape unstoppably, I will not let you go.
This is equivalent to Ye Chunqiu rebelling against Jiao Fang's army.
Because as one of the officials, it is safe to go out and fight with the emperor because the law does not blame the masses, because there are many people; but it is a bit risky to fight with the emperor in detail.
Ye Chunqiu brought Jiao Fang out again, making Jiao Fang unable to avoid it, so he now encountered a big problem.
If he followed the officials and directly cured Ye Chunqiu's unforgivable crimes, it would be equivalent to openly fighting with the emperor.
Jiao Fang is definitely not a person who likes to face life. He likes to hide in the dark to plot. His status is not solid. He is neither the chief minister Liu Jian, with a high status and no fear of the king; nor Xie Qian, an old minister of the three dynasties, with a transcendent status; nor Li Dongyang, as the assistant minister of the late emperor, he can compete with His Majesty for reason. He is Jiao Fang, Jiao Fang who entered the cabinet by walking the way.
This means that everything he gets today is closely related to His Majesty.
Okay, why do you dare to face me? Do you disobey my wishes? Very good, you offend me, let's see.
Jiao Fang cannot afford this risk.
So what if he stood on the side of the emperor and “protected” Ye Chunqiu?
He lit this fire. Now all the officials are already angry and are waiting to find someone to tear them out. As a cabinet scholar, you actually openly please the emperor, ignore Ye Chunqiu's serious crimes, and want to "open up the Internet"? Although the emperor felt relieved, this was like a fire to Jiao Fang.
Jiao Fang had an idea before, lit a fire by himself, and then burn it as much as you do. It has nothing to do with him when everyone burned to ashes.
But Ye Chunqiu seemed to have seen through his methods, and in one sentence, he pulled Jiao Fang into the fire. He wanted to burn it. Let's burn it together. The cannon he had made in tears, right?
Jiao Fang frowned slightly.
In theory, it is true. Today I am interrogating the emperor. How can you ask Your Majesty to verdict? You, Mr. Jiao, will give a judgment. Now Your Majesty clearly wants to protect Ye Chunqiu. At this time, Mr. Jiao is about to step up.
Ye Chunqiu stepped forward again and said, "Please ask Mr. Jiao to decree this case. Mr. Jiao is both the presiding judge and is highly respected. Only Jiao speaks publicly, and the official can convince him."
It was all at this point, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiao Fang.
Zhu Houzhao also lit up his eyes and said, "No, let's ask Jiao Qing's family to set up the route."
He has always had a good impression of Jiao Fang. Compared with other bachelors in your cabinet, Zhu Houzhao is more at ease with Jiao Fang. Usually, if Zhu Houzhao is making a fuss, Liu Jian and others object to each other, Jiao Fang often just says a few words without any pain. What's more, Liu Jin always talks next to Zhu Houzhao about the people in this cabinet. The person who feels most despised by him is Jiao Fang.
Jiao Fang is simply a caring little cotton jacket. If Jiao Fang is going to fix the line, Jiao Fang will definitely be biased against me.
Among the officials, many people also had expectations for Jiao Fang. Jiao Fang was good at dancing and was polite to everyone. In fact, his reputation was pretty good, let alone he was his own person. After all, he was a cabinet master and the chief officials. Now he should be like them, and he should be full of righteous indignation. Since that is the case, it would be great. Everyone hopes that Mr. Jiao will give justice.
Liu Jian and others were also shocked.
They frowned at first, feeling something was wrong, but they never expected that Ye Chunqiu would come like this.
Jiao Fang is a sleek person and is a kind of person who pleases both sides. No one knows that Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian work with him, but he knows it very well. Unexpectedly, Jiao Fang was pushed to the forefront, which is really shocking.
Come on, Mr. Jiao, now everyone is waiting for you to meet you.
Jiao Fang's face was pulled down, and he gave Ye Chunqiu an issue that was a death-ridden problem. Now, Ye Chunqiu also gave him an issue that was a failure that was about to end.
Do you want to be a traitor in the eyes of all officials, or a bastard in the eyes of His Majesty?
Um……
Jiao Fang was helpless and entangled. Ye Chunqiu "invited each other with affection" and showed his convincingness to his ruling. His Majesty also opened his mouth. No one among the ministers stood up to oppose it, but he was eagerly looking forward to it. But he... actually found that he had no room for a turnaround.
Jiao Fang had no choice but to stand out and salute Zhu Houzhao: "I... obey the order."
There was a little powerlessness in his tone, what could he do?
He sat back on the Jindun and looked at Ye Chunqiu coldly: "Your offender Ye Chunqiu, you are plotting to murder the emperor, and you are like killing the monarch."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials were suddenly filled with joy.
Mr. Jiao is so mighty. This is obviously a match for the emperor. As expected, Jiao Fang, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, has a noble character and is truly unrestrained.
It is like killing a monarch. As soon as this sentence came out, it almost killed Ye Chunqiu.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned cold. He never expected that the loyal ministers around him would say such things to Jiao Fang, who had obeyed his own words. Zhu Houzhao always believed that Jiao Fang was a kind old man and would never do things against his own mind. Compared to his masters, he was psychologically closer to Jiao Fang.
Bastard, really bastard...
Zhu Houzhao's eyes wanted to kill someone, but he really couldn't stab Jiao Fang's holes at this time.
I have high hopes for you and hope that you can help me. My hint just now has been so obvious. Would you not know my intention? I want to protect Ye Chunqiu, but you insist on sing a opposite tune with me.
He looked at Jiao Fang coldly, and his fierce light was revealed.
Jiao Fang didn't dare to look back at Zhu Houzhao's eyes. Now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. At this point, no matter what choice he makes, he may suffer disaster. Since that's the case, first cut the mess quickly and kill Ye Chunqiu.
As for Your Majesty...
Jiao Fang's heart was a little heavy and a little cold. He knew that after solving this, with His Majesty's love for Ye Chunqiu, a blow that came as scheduled would come to him without hesitation.
He sighed heavily in his heart. He didn't expect that he would have time to take off his clothes. He had to cheer up and look at Ye Chunqiu with a stern face, saying word by word: "The crime of regicide is unforgivable to kill!"
