Invincible son

Chapter 167 Chapter 166 [Sick Tiger]

The existence of Taishitai Pavilion made officials below the third grade tremble, for fear that one day they would be arrested and put into the prison of that blue-gray building.However, for the big bosses in the court, Mo Moyun is not the kind of cruel official like a mad dog. This person knows how to measure and handle, and he acts quite methodically.

There is only one kind of person who really causes headaches for all officials, and that is the censors at Yushitai.

A bullet can make six ministers resign from office. Although the emperor will not allow it, the courtiers must wait at home for a review.

At today's court meeting, Liu Zhen took the lead in impeaching Wang Pingzhang from the bandit case, followed by twelve supervisory censors.

Although there are a large number of supervisors, there are only 15 who are often in Kyoto, and the rest of the censors are patrolling in various state capitals.

It is extremely rare for thirteen censors to impeach at the same time, and there have been only a few times in the century of the Kingdom.

In fact, since the bandits began to appear in April this year, there have been sporadic impeachment memorials against Wang Pingzhang in the court, but Emperor Kaiping kept all these memorials, and no one impeached him face-to-face at the court meeting, so there was no disturbance.No one thought that after all the bandits were wiped out, when the emperor rewarded them for their merits, the censors would make such a desperate move.

Emperor Kaiping let thirteen censors kneel on the ground, scanning the officials like ice. Compared with before, this time he saw more people. expensive.

Pei Yue didn't look up at the emperor, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself at this time, but he could feel what the emperor was looking at.

This was also something he was curious about.

Who is going to deal with Wang Pingzhang?

From the perspective of motive, of course Chen Xizhi was the most suspected, but even if Pei Yue was killed, he would not believe that that crazy woman could drive more than a dozen censors to work for her.If she really had this ability, why would she need to go to the mountains to be a thief?Just provoking a court battle would throw Daliang into chaos.

From the perspective of vested interests, it is very possible that Lu Min, the Youjun Ji, is very likely.Wang Pingzhang has been on his head for many years, and judging from the old man's physical condition, as long as Emperor Kaiping intends to continue to maintain the balance in the army, he will continue to press down.No one wants to be inferior to others, as long as Wang Pingzhang falls, it is a matter of course for Lu Min to take over as Zuo Junji.Of course, from this point of view, Gu Liang is also suspicious. He already has the qualifications to enter the West Mansion. As long as Wang Pingzhang and Lu Min lose one, he can be directly promoted to the mansion.

Judging from the layout of the Liang Chaotang, civil servants are also suspected.This is not because they are jealous of Wang Pingzhang's power, but because the civil servants naturally want to maintain the imperial power. A real government official who has held power in the military for more than ten years is very threatening. The ambitions of such powerful officials are not uncommon in history books.

Pei Yue even felt that maybe these censors were just out of anger and righteousness in their hearts - bandits killed thousands of unarmed people outside the capital, and someone must be responsible for this.

If Liu Zhen hadn't said those words, Pei Yue might have thought that this possibility was the greatest.

But when Liu Zhen asked about the bandit's origin, he knew that it was not that simple. The supervisory censor definitely knew something, maybe someone had hinted to him.

After looking around, Emperor Kaiping said to Wang Pingzhang: "Duke Wei, do you admit to Liu Zhen's accusation?"

Wang Pingzhang came out of the shift and stood still, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am old and frail, and I have been ill for a long time, so I beg for the bones. I hope Your Majesty will allow you."

The hall was dead silent, and Pei Yue could even hear the heartbeats of those people not far away.

He has always had a vague impression of Wang Pingzhang, although he has met him twice.

At Chen Guanzhen's military meeting, this man overwhelmed the mighty general of the Beijing army with a few words, showing his authority in the army.Other than that, Pei Yue didn't have a deep impression. Although he knew that the other party was not a vain name, it didn't match the name of "Daliang Army No. 1" in his cognition.Thinking about it carefully, I probably didn't see the kind of domineering look at the world in this old man.

Even at certain times, he felt that Gu Liang was more domineering.

Listening to Wang Pingzhang's answer at this time, he became more and more unable to understand the old man.

It is not uncommon to retreat to advance. Facing the joint impeachment of the thirteen imperial censors, Guiru Guogong must also deal with it carefully. Temporarily avoiding the limelight is a normal choice.However, Pei Yue was confident that his vision was correct, and he was sure that Wang Pingzhang's words came from his heart.

Is it really because of the disease that you choose to retreat bravely?
Emperor Kaiping looked at the rare look of tiredness on Wang Pingzhang's face, and said lightly, "No."

Wang Pingzhang didn't say much.

Liu Zhen, lying on the ground, said resolutely: "Duke Wei, can you shirk your guilt by calling yourself sick? How innocent are the thousands of people who died outside the capital. In the future, you may face those tragic souls of death directly?"

"Presumptuous!" Luo Ting scolded, frowning.

Wang Pingzhang shook his head slightly, and then said: "Liu Yushi, those bandits are really powerful in combat, and they are familiar with the surrounding terrain of the capital. , I have written a memorial and submitted it to the imperial court, and the two governments have also copied it. It is not an undisclosed matter. Throughout the wars before and after, the Beijing army has never slackened, and has never delayed the opportunity of the war.

Liu Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "Dare to ask Wei Guogong, where did the bandits come from, and why they have such fighting power?"

Wang Pingzhang replied, "I don't know."

Liu Zhen said angrily: "Why didn't you investigate? Did you not find out, or did you dare to investigate?!"

"Silent cloud!" Emperor Kaiping said in a deep voice.

"The minister is here." Mo Moyun came out of the class and responded.

Emperor Kaiping raised his finger to Liu Zhen, and when he was about to sweep towards the group of censors behind him, he forcibly stopped, and said coldly: "Take this person down! Interrogate him carefully!"

"The minister obeys the order."

Mo Moyun looked at it with his eyes, and two court guards stepped forward and dragged Liu Zhen out of the hall.

Liu Zhen cried out sadly: "Your Majesty! How can thousands of people die in vain? How can we not investigate—"

A court guard stretched out his hand suddenly and removed his chin, leaving only the whining sound.

There was a chill in Pei Yue's heart, and now he was not sure whether Liu Zhen's move was aimed at Wang Pingzhang, or to lift the dusty 14-year-old cover.

The only thing he can be sure of is that Liu Zhen has nothing to do with the conspiracy, he is just a pawn being used without even knowing it.

Perhaps, Liu Zhen had guessed something, but he was still willing to be this pawn, just because he wanted to seek justice for those innocent people who died tragically.

Emperor Kaiping's chest rose and fell slightly, and he said to the censors who were still kneeling on the ground with some disgust: "If you want to continue kneeling, go kneeling outside the hall."

The censors hesitated a little, but after all, they still didn't want to follow Liu Zhen's footsteps and be imprisoned in Taishitai Pavilion, so they had to get up and return to their seats.

Wang Pingzhang did not stand back, but bowed slightly to Emperor Kaiping and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister did not exonerate his crime just now, but his illness is difficult to recover, and he may delay important military affairs. Therefore, I hope that your Majesty will allow the old minister to resign from the position of Zuo Junji."

Emperor Kaiping said without any hesitation: "No."

Seeing that Wang Pingzhang was still pleading, he waved his hands impatiently and said: "Since you are sick, you can go back to the manor to recuperate, why talk about resigning from office? The affairs of the West mansion are temporarily handed over to Lu Min and Zhiyuan, and you will come back after you recover from your illness." Xifu sits in town."

Wang Pingzhang sighed softly in his heart, saluted and said: "The old minister accepts the decree to thank you."

This matter is temporarily closed, but even Pei Yue, a rookie, can tell that Wang Pingzhang is indeed thinking of retreating, but he doesn't know if it has something to do with the past of the Chen family, or it is a move that kills many birds with one stone. .

However, as the censor's accusation against Wang Pingzhang became invalid, the matter of the bandits was finally settled, and his title was finally firmly in his pocket.

However, at this time, a black-faced man in the martial arts formation on the right came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Kaiping's mouth: "Come on."

The black-faced man stood in the middle carelessly, pointed at Pei Yue and said, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach this boy."

Pei Yue looked at the other party helplessly, and really wanted to ask: Who are you, big brother?Do we know each other?It's very tiring to go to court, so don't make trouble if you look so stupid, okay?

　These three chapters have been written intermittently since midnight last night. I am already on a business trip, which is a bit pitiful.I will try my best to write tomorrow, in case, I mean in case there are too many things, can I ask for a day off?If not, I will not ask.
