Zhao Nanxing was standing in the hall and talking, but Zhu Youxiao was a little distracted, or rather, his mind was wandering.
It’s not because Zhu Youxiao didn’t want to listen to Zhao Nanxing, nor because Zhu Youxiao thought his words were unpleasant, but because what Zhao Nanxing said was really meaningless.
Do everything behind the scenes. Now Zhu Youxiao completely understood what this sentence meant.
However, the confrontation in the court was indeed very interesting, and both sides were certainly going back and forth.
But for Zhu Youxiao, it didn’t really mean much, because the result was already determined.
The Donglin Party's intention was clear: if this case was handed over to Han Yu, they would naturally stop causing trouble and ensure a fair and impartial trial. As for public opinion, the Donglin Party would also find a way to calm it down.
This is why Gao Panlong said that Han Yu was a man respected by both the government and the people.
Whether in the court or outside the court, the Donglin Party members accepted the results of Han Yu's trial and would not go back on their word or cheat again.
Of course Zhu Youxiao could hear the subtext in this and understood it instantly.
The Donglin Party still believed in Han Yu, knowing that he would not take advantage of someone's misfortune, even though he had done such things before. The Donglin Party believed that in this case, Han Yu would protect them.
Of course, the "they" here do not refer to Zou Yuanbiao, Yang Lian and others who are imprisoned in the Dongchang prison, but the people who are now standing in the Huangji Hall.
Zhu Youxiao knew that this was the only way to do it this time, so he had no interest in listening to Zhao Nanxing.
"Therefore, I think it is most appropriate to hand over this case to Lord Han for trial." Zhao Nanxing said in a resounding voice, then bowed and stood aside.
After Zhao Nanxing, many people stood up and agreed to hand over the matter to Han Yu, including the Minister of Rites Sun Shenxing.
It can be said that the Donglin Party was going all in this time.
After these people finished speaking, the court showed a one-sided trend. Everyone agreed that Han Yu should handle the case, as if this position belonged to Han Yu.
Zhu Youxiao knew that there was no way to stop this matter.
Just look at those people who support Liu Yijing and you will know that no one has stood up to oppose it until now.
However, Zhu Youxiao decided to ask. As for who to ask, apart from Liu Yijing, the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao had no other person to ask.
"What do you think of this strategy, Lord?" Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Liu Yijing and asked with a questioning look. His eyes were sincere, his expression was genuine, and he looked like he was asking for advice.
At this point, although he was very reluctant and even wanted to stand up and have a big fight with everyone, Liu Yijing knew that if he did so, the result would be that he would be abandoned by everyone.
So this matter must not be done this way. Not only can I not oppose Han Yu's trial of this case, but I must also support it. It must be absolute support!
Liu Yijing calmed himself, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have known Han Yu for many years and have had frequent contact with him in the cabinet. I am well aware of his knowledge and talents. Few in the world can match him. Han Yu is fair and impartial, hates evil, and is upright and unyielding. If anyone can investigate this case and uncover the truth, it must be Han Yu. It is indeed appropriate to entrust this case to him."
When Liu Yijing said the last word, he was already gritting his teeth and clenching his fists tightly.
Zhu Youxiao nodded, as if suddenly enlightened, and said aloud, "Since all the ministers agree, and the Prime Minister also says so, then let this matter be settled. This case will be handed over to Han Aiqing for trial. You can draw personnel from the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court. I will also pass on instructions to the East Factory."
"If you need anything, Han Aiqing can come to me and I will give the order. What you need to do is to investigate this case as soon as possible and avoid causing suspicion and turmoil in the court and the public."
"I obey your command." Han Yu saluted quickly and felt a little relieved.
Han Yu never expected things to turn out like this.
After looking at Liu Yijing, Gao Panlong and Sun Shenxing, Han Yu also knew why he got this benefit.
Because he was currently in the middle of a struggle between the two sides. No matter which side he sided with, it would affect the outcome of this fight.
So both sides are afraid to offend me now, and I can take the opportunity to gain some benefits.
However, Han Yu was clear in his heart that he should not be greedy, and he should also know what he wanted.
In fact, this case is also a hot potato.
No one knows what the Donglin Party, who gave the case to him, and Liu Yijing, who seemed to support him, were thinking.
The case itself was very serious. If I investigated and handled it strictly, how would the Donglin Party members view me? It could be said that I would have no way out.
Afterwards, it was basically impossible for him to win over some members of the Donglin Party.
Han Yu wasn't sure whether Liu Yijing's apparent trust in him meant he was trying to cut off all his escape routes.
Did Liu Yijing already see through all of this? Was he just acting aggrieved, but was actually waiting for him to follow this path?
In fact, Han Yu knew it clearly, and he guessed that Liu Yijing also knew it clearly, that is, the Donglin Party must not be protected in this case.
If I continue to behave like Gao Panlong and the others last time, then there will be no way to clean up the situation, and I will be directly implicated.
So I don't have much choice. The Donglin Party will not give me any choice, and neither will Liu Yijing.
