Chapter 397: The National Traitor Jiang Chen
Not only that, Kong Duancao, Wang Zhonglu and others also sent people to secretly buy large quantities of grain at the Royal Chamber of Commerce every day, some of which were sold in grain stores, and most of them were hoarded and waited for price.
They all believe that the food Jiang Chen bought will not last long!
So, while creating an atmosphere of food panic, they slandered Jiang Chen in newspapers all over the country, and put all their sins on Jiang Chen. The logic is as follows:
'Jiang Chen invented distilled liquor to win over merchants and landlords. In order to make money, merchants and landlords took most of the food to make wine. This led to a shortage of food in the country. In order to form cliques, consolidate their power, and make a fortune, Jiang Chen ignored the stability of the country and the lives of the people in the world.'
Coupled with the public opinion guidance of Confucian people, except for Bianjing, Jiang Chen directly became a bad thief and a public enemy of the people except Bianjing.
Cao Kuo, who was demoted to Nanjing, and some royal relatives even took the opportunity to post a message saying that the Lao Ganzi case was wronged by Jiang Chen, and cooperated with the Confucian clan to launch a large parade of "clearing the king and eliminating Jiang Chen".
The content of the parade was soon published in the Bianjing tabloid, with a picture of a man who was burned by Nanjing students.
So, Bianjing quickly followed suit, and started a student parade with a straw man with Jiang Chen's name. Some gathered at the gate of the palace and asked Emperor Huizong of Song to eradicate the rebels of the country and abolish the Limen;
Some of the brave ones even went to Yuqing Villa to make a fuss, but these people were beaten up very badly by the people of Limen. They cried and shouted and escaped from Yuqing Villa.
So, Kong Duanyou and others charged Jiang Chen with a crime of inciting the people of Lijia to beat and humiliate Confucian scholars.
After provoking sharp conflicts, the memorial to impeach Jiang Chen was sent to the imperial case of Emperor Huizong of Song.
Cai Jing and Kong Duanyou thought Jiang Chen was dead now, but Song Huizong would definitely punish Jiang Chen in order to calm the anger of the Confucian sect and stabilize the country.
However, all the memorials impeaching Jiang Chen were sealed, and there was no word of approval.
This made Cai Jing and Kong Duanyou extremely unwilling to accept it, and they waved their knife directly at Jiang Chen at the next big court meeting.
...
On this day, civil and military officials gathered together, and a long line of officials was also lined up outside Chongzheng Hall. All officials who were qualified to participate in the grand dynasty meeting came.
The Kong family and Cai Jing joined forces to deal with the grand occasion of one person, and they don’t want to miss it.
In addition, a large number of students gathered outside the palace gate, and the slogans of "Except the traitors and destroy the good city" came one after another, and even standing in the hall could be heard vaguely.
This made most people look at Jiang Chen with a strong gloating and impatient look.
Song Huizong glanced at Kong Duanyou and Cai Jing in displeasure, picked up the teacup and tasted it calmly, without any intention of asking.
Um-
Cai Jing's eyelids twitched in shock, and he felt a bad premonition in his heart. He immediately took the steps he wanted to take.
The emperor did not speak, and Cai Jing wanted to speak but stopped. He Zhizhong closed his eyes to rest, which made the atmosphere in the hall become strange immediately.
Under the silence that the needle was heard, the officials looked at each other and looked at Kong Duanyou together.
Seeing that his disciples were all timid and afraid of trouble, Kong Duanyou did not dare to offend Song Huizong, he could only shake his robe sleeves helplessly and said: "Officials, Jiang Chen discovered that distilled liquor was to make money for the country, but in order to win over the powerful and powerful, he widely promoted his craftsmanship, which led to everyone in the world storing grain to make wine, thus causing food shortages to be caused.
Nowadays, all officials are frightened, the people are frightened, the country is in turmoil, and the students are even more excited!
The old minister asked the officials to punish the treacherous and silence the public's grievances!"
"I am asking the officials to clear the king's side and eliminate the traitors!"
Cui Hao, Wang Zhongyao and others rushed to stand up.
Although Cai Jing did not leave the list, he nodded slightly.
So Cai Tao, Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong and others also came out and said: "For the sake of the world and the people, I ask the officials to quell the public's grievances and severely punish the treacherous and slanderous!"
With Cai Jing cooperating with Kong Duanyou, most of the officials inside and outside the hall were kneeling on the ground, asking to kill Jiang Chen!
Seeing this, Kong Duanyou, Wang Zhongkui, and his nephew Meng Kui were punished by Jiang Chen and Meng Changling, Cai Jing and others all showed an excited expression on their faces.
At the same time, there were countless court officials implicated in the Lao Ganzi case.
They knew that Song Huizong was reluctant to kill Jiang Chen, and they did not expect to kill Jiang Chen in one go, but as long as Jiang Chen's position as chairman of the Royal Chamber of Commerce and military power were abolished, even if Jiang Chen did not die, he would be just a piece of meat on their chopping board.
"In the eyes of all the nobles, Liangchen has become a treacherous slander who must be eliminated?"
Song Huizong was so happy that he asked coldly: "What is it to betray the secret recipe from my book of Heaven to the Gentile envoys?"
"What?"
Cui Hao, Kong Duancao and others were immediately shocked and their faces turned pale.
"What does the official family mean? Didn't it be that Jiang Chen gave it to the secret recipe to invite people to buy hearts?"
Mei Zhili and others raised their heads with surprise.
"snort!"
Song Huizong snorted coldly and put down the teacup.
The eunuch Wang Li immediately understood and said loudly: "Xinqing, the envoy from Xuandongyang, met with Xin Qing!"
"Fangmen Xinqing? What did Xuan come in to do?"
Cui Hao, Kong Duancao, Meng Changling and others panicked, staring at Fangmen Xinqing nervously, and unconsciously sweated coldly.
Even Meng Changling, a treacherous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty who was beautified by the Confucian school, turned to Xinqing, the Fangmen, and prayed for his eyes.
Unfortunately, Xinqing, Fangmen, ignored them at all. After paying homage to Emperor Huizong of Song, he angrily said: "The Emperor of Song, the young envoy came with sincerity, hoping to make a good country with your country forever.
I don’t expect that some adults in your country would deceive the envoys and use the distilled liquor technology to deceive the envoys’ money and the beauties with them. I also asked the Emperor of Song Dynasty to make the decision for the envoys.”
"Is it possible that someone sells you a fake distilled liquor technology? If so, I will definitely make the decision for you!"
Song Huizong asked in a pretentious manner.
"The distilled liquor technology is true! But Kong Duancao Master Kong, Meng Changling, Master Meng and Cui Hao and the others deliberately concealed the wine and dew!
The little envoy could not make the immortal drunk without wine. How did the little envoy explain to the king when he went back? Isn’t this a must for the little envoy’s life?”
As Fangmen Xinqing spoke, he looked at Meng Changling and Kong Duanyou with anger.
"What?"
"The distilled liquor technology was fucked by Kong Duan. Cui Hao and Meng Changling and others sold it to the Japanese envoy?"
"Is it not Jiang Chen who spread the secret recipe, but them?"
"Oh my God! Isn't this a traitor? If the Xixia people obtain the distilled liquor technology, what a great loss will the court suffer!"
All civil and military officials looked at Kong Duanyou with disbelief. They knew that these people were all loyal to Kong Duanyou in private and were all loyal to the Kong family's in-laws.
If you dare to do such a thing, you must have received the approval of Kong Duanyou.
