Treason.
If anyone dares to say a word at this time.
Even if you are not implicated, you will be taken away immediately.
Because there is no room for defense for this kind of crime, we can only wait for the investigation to be thorough.
Therefore, those officials who were just from the aristocratic families did not dare to speak at this time.
They could only watch Song Gongwen take away the Jiangnan gentry who came to the capital.
As for whether to submit a memorial, please inform His Majesty of this matter.
The officials didn't dare.
The same thing.
This crime is tantamount to treason and the punishment is too serious.
In particular, some of them were thinking that since Song Gongwen dared to do this, he must have the confidence and backup plan.
If it is finally discovered that the Jiangnan gentry have colluded with the Baiyi Sect, then it will be completely over.
Anyone who supports me behind the scenes, regardless of their status, counts as one.
They are all involved.
So at this time, they can only remain silent.
Otherwise, if you get involved, it will not just be the end of your career.
I am afraid that even I and my clansmen will suffer a great disaster.
That's right.
These officials could choose to support the gentry and prevent the land tax from being equalized. After all, even if they failed, there would not be much harm. If they succeeded, it would be equivalent to being tied to the gentry, which would bring many benefits in the future.
But the crime of colluding with the White Robe Sect is something that none of them can bear and it will endanger their lives.
Therefore, they wished they could stay away from it at this time.
certainly.
And some officials.
Suddenly I felt that Song Gongwen was too insidious.
If they wanted to punish the Jiangnan gentry for colluding with the White Robe Sect, they could have done so as soon as they entered the capital.
But the other party actually waited until many officials chose to support the nobles...
Isn’t the purpose obvious?
Dealing with the gentry is secondary.
I'm afraid it's true that they want to deal with these officials.
But at this moment, no one dared to say anything, because they knew that such a big matter would definitely be brought to the attention of His Majesty. Just as they had thought before, the best thing to do now was to choose silence.
What the final outcome will be will definitely depend on your Majesty's wishes.
But no matter what.
The situation is definitely not favorable to them. After all, they have been supporting the gentry during this period of time.
If Your Majesty wants to do something at this time, no one can escape.
In desperation, those officials who supported the gentry.
Finally I thought of a solution.
Just go find the Grand Tutor, the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Zhang Zhengming.
After all, the other party had previously supported the gentry and opposed the reform.
And he is your Majesty's teacher and the most powerful official in the dynasty, so it will definitely be useful to find him.
But what no one expected was that Zhang Zhengming closed the door to Xuancang at this time and refused to see anyone.
This left them completely confused and they didn't know what to do.
Especially at the end.
Those officials who supported the gentry heard the rumors even more.
That is, when Song Gongwen arrested the Jiangnan gentry, he was indeed well prepared and had a large amount of evidence of collusion with the Baiyi Sect.
Although no one knows where these evidences come from, one thing is certain, that is, the Jiangnan gentry who went to the capital are likely to be wiped out.
Colluding with the White Robe Sect is a capital crime and no one can cover it up.
Even if they beg for mercy, I'm afraid not many people can do it.
actually.
If those officials had not chosen to write memorials to support the Jiangnan gentry and prevent the reform.
I could also say a few words in this regard.
Only now...
And it was also because of Song Gongwen's overall arrest of the Jiangnan gentry.
While the entire capital was shaken, countless people also fell silent.
Even those words that were unfavorable to the reform and Song Gongwen seemed to disappear overnight.
From this we can see that all the disturbances in the capital were caused by the gentry.
Just control and arrest these people.
Then everything will disappear.
Also on this day.
Song Gongwen, on charges of obstructing the implementation of national policies, joined forces with Jingzhao Prefecture and began to interrogate the captured Jiangnan gentry.
Everyone knew that obstructing the implementation of national policy was just an excuse. Wasn't the real crime of collusion with the White Clothes Sect the real question?
As for Jingzhao Prefecture, they were naturally quite cooperative. After all, if it was just an ordinary crime, they wouldn't care, but now it was tantamount to treason, and with the Deputy Minister of the Cabinet personally presiding over it, no one dared to delay.
Everyone is concerned about what the content of this interrogation is.
But unfortunately.
Song Gongwen would not allow the news to leak out at all.
In addition to his own power, even some high-ranking officials could not find out the news.
After all, the current Song Gongwen is not only the second assistant of the cabinet, but also the father-in-law of the emperor.
He also has a son who has just been conferred the title of Marquis of Guanjun.
I'm afraid only the Grand Tutor can come forward.
Only then can you find out some news.
But everyone knew that Zhang Zhengming had closed the door and refused to see visitors, and would not go out.
Helplessly, everyone could only wait anxiously, and a day passed like this.
Until the next day, no one knew what the interrogation in Jingzhao Prefecture had turned out to be like. All they knew was that early that morning, Song Gongwen submitted a memorial.
Everyone knows that this matter must be heard by the heavens...
at the same time.
The imperial palace.
After several days of seclusion, Wei Yunyi finally walked out of the alchemy room.
In fact, although he said he was in seclusion, in reality, he just slept in the pill formula for several days.
Although the environment is much worse than that of the bedroom, it is valuable because no one disturbs me.
