Seeing the old man's face showing suspicion, Li Ling took out another item and pushed it over, saying, "Do you still remember what you were questioned by a scholar Luo Feng, who was an unknown scholar, during a lecture last year?"

Zhang Hefeng opened the paper and looked at it, his face changed again: "Is this true? The Luo family dared to do such a thing because they were bribed? And the person who bought them was..."

"Sir Confucianism please think about it carefully. You have always been famous in Lianghuai. Even the aristocratic families in Xuzhou City dare not offend you easily. But the young scholar named Luo Feng suddenly targeted him regardless of the consequences, and his affairs were extremely strange."

Zhang Hefeng was silent. In fact, he had thought at that time that this might be the relentless pursuit of King Yong’s side, but the thing in his hand gave him a new answer, which was done by someone around the prince!

Li Ling looked at him and said, "In fact, it is not accurate to say that bribery is not accurate, but it should be a threat. Because the Luo family is so illegal in daily life and has been targeted by others, they can force the Luo family to bet on this. However, the final result was that the Luo family was driven out of Xuzhou to end the battle with their failure, which is also considered to be a retribution for evil. However, the real mastermind behind the scenes has been free and is still brewing the next conspiracy against the Confucian master! This is why this joint letter was written and you will be ranked first!"

Zhang Hefeng took a breath. If he really followed what he wrote above and what Li Ling said, the person who was deeply trusted by the prince and himself was really deliberate and very sinister. However, he still had doubts in his heart. After all, these things were just one-sided words of theirs, and he didn't trust the Imperial City Si so much.

Li Ling also saw his doubts and said, "Maybe Confucian scholars would not fully believe this statement, but some things cannot be hidden from anyone, such as the transfer of some of your disciples and students in the past two years-" As he said, Li Ling took out another piece of paper and looked at Nian, "Wang Sicheng, originally the prefect of Jiaxing, Jiangnan, but was transferred to Lingnan for some reason last year; Fang Changxian, who was an official of the Censorate last year, was moved to Hanlin Academy as editor at the beginning of this year..."

As each time he told him about his official position, Zhang Hefeng's expression became darker, and at the end, he interrupted directly: "Don't read it anymore, take it to me!"

Li Ling immediately stopped and handed over the paper full of officials' transfers, and then added: "You can find out these things in the Ministry of Personnel. If the Confucian Master is suspicious, you can take a look after you go out. Also, if I have a good statistics, only Xu Zhuowu is not implicated in your more than ten disciples of Confucian Master, but that is because he has just entered the officialdom and has not obtained a key position, so he is not valued."

Seeing these familiar names being forcibly transferred from more important positions to remote places or to lonely yamen, Zhang Hefeng's hands trembled again: "How dare they...?"

To eliminate the influence of an official, in addition to driving him out of the court, what we need to do is to destroy his reputation and cut off his gangsters... These are the usual means of fighting between the court, but it is hard to accept because it is not the political enemy in front of us, but the robes on the same side.

Zhang Hefeng was really annoyed this time, and after a while, he said, "So this is what you call a villain's method?"

Li Ling saw that he was in a state of excitement, but he still hardened his heart: "This can only be the beginning. If their plan succeeds, you, the Confucian master, are really hated by Your Majesty, and everything is taken away, and the prince dares not meet or even communicate with you again because of his concerns. Then, the most terrifying trick will be used by them next.

"Your family will be the target they will focus on in the future. If the students remember well, you still have two sons in the court, and as long as they want, they will naturally turn black and white and impose any crime on them. In this way, not only will your reputation be destroyed in the lifetime of Confucian scholar, but your descendants will also be in a downfall. Even if the prince really has a day to stand out and becomes a new king in the future, it will not be possible to rehabilitate you again under such circumstances.

"In fact, as long as you lose power and become convicted, the prince will turn from help to a burden. At that time, others will quickly fill your position. In a few years, the prince will forget everything, and everyone will forget that there was a great scholar like you who was so bright and bright, and who was devoted to the prince!"

In this season when the autumn wind is bleak and the sky is as cool as water, Zhang Hefeng's forehead is sweating because of Li Ling's words, and his back is wet. His eyes are even more shocked and angry. Obviously, as long as he thinks about such a result, he will be unable to accept it.

Yes, he was indeed devoted to the prince and to ensure that he could ascend the throne safely, even his own life would not care. But this does not mean that he really had no other ideas. What he wanted was that he could get the grace and memory of the new emperor after his death, and his descendants and disciples to live a better life because of his choice. Even if they could not be the most powerful minister, at least they should be in the court and be the ones around the new emperor.

But now, Li Ling told him that all his ideas would fail. No matter how selfless Zhang Hefeng was, he would not accept it calmly. There were no real officials in this world who were saints and gods and Buddhas, but it was impossible for both to be officials!

After being stunned for a meal, Zhang Hefeng slowly came back to his senses and said in a hoarse voice: "What you said just now is true, not lying to me?"

"Students dare not deceive Confucian scholars in this matter. These are all well-documented facts."

"But why...why do they do this?"

"Because they are villains, and Confucian scholars are real gentlemen, they naturally don't understand why they had this idea. However, students can understand a little bit, because they are worried that Confucian scholars will suppress them all the time by the prince's side, so that they can only surrender to them in the end. Under the greed of profit, they naturally have to take risks. As for what happened later, it is even more natural. After all, once the villain takes action to harm people, he will harm people omnipotently. Until this former friend who has long been regarded as his biggest enemy dies, his family will be unable to turn over again, and he can only be truly at ease!"

Li Ling's words made Zhang Hefeng stunned again. This logic was really not something he could understand. But then, he looked at the young man again: "What about you? Who are you? Why can you see their thoughts?"

"Students are naturally not gentlemen, but they don't bother to be villains who harm friends. After all, I just want to do something so that I can be safe and secure. "Li Ling looked at him calmly, "Of course, this is also because Zhuo Wu and I don't want you to be killed by villains. Their conspiracy methods are too despicable, and Confucian scholars should not be plotted by them!"

Seeing that the other party had been shaken, Li Ling added the most important bargaining chip: "Actually, have you ever thought about the Confucian master? Your Majesty may not really want to depose the crown prince. That is just a speculation of some people."

"Hmm?" Zhang Hefeng's brow frowned immediately, as if he had captured something, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Li Ling continued: "Actually, in my opinion, the so-called statement that Your Majesty intends to make King Yong the crown prince is a bit absurd. It is true that King Yong has indeed been favored by His Majesty over the years and has given him all kinds of grace and honor that is no less than the crown prince, but that's all. In addition to these, does the Confucian master remember that Your Majesty has explicitly or implied to replace the crown prince?"

Zhang Hefeng thought about it carefully, then shook his head in a daze. This has never happened before, at least he doesn't remember this fact.

"That's it. The so-called Yong Wang wants to replace the crown prince as the new crown prince. This statement itself is up to be discussed. It's just a self-righteous statement by the two princes. Perhaps there are many rumors among the people, but they are just rumors of storm. Anyway, everyone in the court is silent about it. In this way, things become more and more strange. It's obviously just a groundless statement, why are the prince and you so nervous?

"Take this example, the prince is in the Northern Xinjiang military supervisor. It was originally my Great Yue ancestral system. Now the time has not arrived, so how can he recall it at will? The Confucian master and all the adults were even hurriedly yelling to write a memorial to Your Majesty. If you want to break this rule, this is something that will make Your Majesty feel unhappy.

"Maybe those who came up with this approach only made this trick to harm Confucian scholars, but what's even more terrifying is that they really feel that the prince can only be safe if they return to the capital. After all, they are worried that the leaderless themselves will not be able to deal with the attacks of the Yongwang Party, so they think of using this trick to invite the prince back! They are not for the prince at all, but for themselves.

"Master Confucianism, if you really follow what I said, do you really feel at ease to let them stay by the prince's side and steal the high position in the end because of the dragon's merit? I'm afraid that is the most terrifying result of my Great Yue world. If you are the small ones, you will be in chaos!"

At this point, Zhang Hefeng was completely led by Li Ling to leave with his thoughts and nose, and his heart was completely confused: "What, how could this happen? As you say, those people, those people are not available? They are all wolves and ambitions, and they are all villains. If the prince is on the left and right, it would be dangerous..."

"That's true! So what Confucian scholars do now is to stop their plans and at least protect themselves. If you want Your Majesty to stop pursuing this matter, the best way is to deny that you have named it in the joint memorial. As long as you openly state that the name above was written by someone else, I think with Your Majesty's wisdom, you will definitely give your innocence!"
