Invincible son

Chapter 966 965 [Horizontal branches]

The Zhulou was arrogant and courteous in the past, no matter what status the distinguished guests could take away a jar of wine, it has developed from an ordinary restaurant to a premier restaurant in the city, and at its peak the number of customers gathered like a woven crown.

It's not that those high-ranking officials are self-sufficient, but because in the vicinity of Kyoto, many fine wines in the world are unique to Zhulou, such as the Pingjiang double steaming in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and the red mud printing in the Western Wu Dynasty.

The bamboo building can be so domineering, naturally because the second prince born by Empress Chen stands behind him.

In all fairness, apart from this harsh rule, Zhulou has no other evil deeds. It has paid taxes in full for so many years, and there is no act of bullying good people.

This is like the life of the second prince, born with incomparable dignity and few worries and worries, but apart from the identity brought from the mother's womb, there are no deeds worthy of praise or even condemnation from others.

In a word, there is nothing good to say about it.

This is not only Pei Yue's impression of him, but also almost the consensus of the ruling and opposition parties.

In terms of filial piety and family affection, the second prince is not as good as the first prince, in terms of scheming and methods, he is far behind the fourth prince, and in terms of being cautious and low-key, he is not the opponent of the sixth prince.Fortunately, he didn't develop a bad temperament of anger between man and god, so by virtue of his status as the eldest son of the empress, he was still able to occupy a slight advantage in the battle for the crown prince.

After three days of farewell, Liu Yun finally made an eye-catching performance after spending 23 years in a mediocre manner.

Emperor Kaiping understood the disposition of this lone minister, and asked after a little silence, "But you found something else?"

Xue Ji said unhurriedly: "Ouyang Yushi, when did I say something like this? Whether it is an investigation or impeachment, you have to find out before making a conclusion. You made groundless accusations before, and now you have made such a damning statement. I don’t see the slightest demeanor of Luo when he was in power, but he looks like a rascal in the market. Is this the code of conduct for Xiantai officials?”

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Kaiping groaned silently, as if he was considering the outcome of the investigation, or was preparing to deal with it indifferently as he had been doing for the past two months.

In front of the train of civil servants, two heavy officials in purple clothes who were not far apart looked dignified. One was Ning Huai'an, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Go, prepare to cooperate with Xue Ji's accusation, spread the flames of war to the eldest prince, and completely establish the victory.

The other has white beard and hair, and his qualifications in the court are second only to Mo Haoli, the governor of the left. Even Luo Ting has to respectfully call him Mr. Huang Rentai, the imperial historian who doesn't often show up.

Although Ouyang Jing came from a famous family and was carefully taught by Han Gongduan, he looked young and energetic after all, so he stood up and responded: "Xue Shangshu, is it possible that the Ministry of Industry is not an imperial government office? If so, why can't Yushitai investigate and impeach according to the law? "

It's just that the two of them hadn't had time to get out of the class. In the corner on the right side of the imperial steps in the hall, a middle-aged man stepped forward, and then turned to face the emperor on the dragon chair.

Not only did he not jump into the pit dug by Pei Yue, but he first thoroughly cleared the suspicion of Zhulou and his scapegoat through long and earnest speeches, and then took advantage of the opportunity to use all his wealth to show pure filial piety, and put himself and the Ministry of Industry Temporarily separated.Regarding the last point, even Emperor Kaiping did not have any doubts. The silver that Zhulou took out this time must be clean, and it will definitely not have anything to do with the silver deposit of the Ministry of Industry.

After nearly two months of pawn fighting, the power core of this dynasty has finally come to an end.

However, unlike the smug Ning Huai'an, when Xue Ji insinuatedly accused Ouyang Jing and Pei Yue of colluding, and even questioned Yu Shitai's style because of this, the old man's eyes were not angry, but full of endless hesitation.

After all, Xue Ji has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades, and he is well versed in all kinds of tricks above the court, and he made clear the seriousness of the problem as soon as he made a move.

Now the focus of sight in the court hall is on Xue Ji, and the crossed eyes in this corner did not attract the attention of others.

The officials did not understand the meaning of these words, because it involved the slander of Pei Yue by Lin He and others before, and the court had already reached a conclusion.

Xue Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, as the great Sikong, was brought in by Ouyang Jing with a gun and a stick, as if he had become the eagle dog of the second prince.If he hadn't been notified by Liu Yun long ago, how could he have remained silent without making any excuses.

Jian Rong forcibly stopped his right foot that was about to step forward. Other people might not be able to persuade him, but Sheng Duanming was quite popular among these noble civil servants.

As soon as these words came out, a cloud of haze floated in Ouyang Jing's eyes.

Mo Moyun said in an orderly manner: "Your Majesty, someone previously accused Zhongshan Hou Peiyue of colluding with the remnants of the Hengduan Mountain bandits. Although this matter was investigated by Luan Yiwei, there are a large number of files from that year in the Tai Pavilion. In order to prevent a good person from being wronged, we cannot Sparing any bad guys, the minister led his subordinates to search through the files, and finally came to a conclusion that Pei Yue had nothing to do with the remnants of the bandits, and those accusations were purely framed."

Not only did he point the finger at Pei Yuegou for linking up with the party, but he also included Yu Shi, who was shunned by everyone, within the scope of his attack.

Mo Moyun lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, I don't want to impeach any courtier, but I just have something to announce."

Emperor Kaiping said quietly, "What's the matter?"

From "this matter" in Liu Yun's mouth to "this case" in Xue Ji's mouth, a seemingly inconspicuous small change, the nature of the whole matter has undergone a fundamental change.

Emperor Kaiping was slightly puzzled, and then asked in a deep tone: "Do you want to impeach Ouyang Jing or Pei Yue?"

Seeing that the general situation has now been achieved, Xue Ji went out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, this case is related to the reputation of the Prince and the Ministry of Industry, and more importantly, it is related to the prestige of Your Majesty and the court. It should be investigated clearly. However, it should not be too lenient. If everyone is like Ouyang Yushi, who hears only a few words from the public, and because some people deliberately make friends, they will criticize at will in the Shuowang Dynasty, it is unavoidable to regard the national affairs as important. Suspected of being child's play."

Even the second prince, who felt that he had the chance to win, was a little surprised. Although he really wanted to look back at Wang Pingzhang at this moment, he also knew that his father was watching every little move he made, so he could only forcefully hold back some complaints in his heart.

Before being transferred to the supervisor of the Charcoal Temple, Jian Rong had already been promoted from serving Yushi to Yushi Zhongcheng. She had a deep affection for Yushitai, and her temperament remained straightforward. Seeing Xue Ji's harsh words now, how could she bear it?
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out to grab his sleeve, Jian Rong turned his head to look, only to see Sheng Duanming, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, shook his head slightly, opened his lips and silently said two words: "Anxin."

So far, Liu Yun's image of filial piety, rationality, incorruptibility, and knowing how to advance and retreat has gradually emerged in the eyes of the officials.

As we all know, this Zuo Lingchen, as his name suggests, seldom expresses his views in public, especially at court meetings, unless Emperor Kaiping has something to ask.At this extremely tense moment, Mo Moyun's appearance made many people frown involuntarily.

Everyone looked at it one after another, and their colors changed instantly.

The crying at the end pushed the atmosphere to a peak, and no one could underestimate the solidarity of more than [-] ministers.

It was Zuo Lingchen of Taishitai Pavilion who was always silent and silent.

Others were still thinking about it. Not far behind Xue Ji, a thin-faced official of the third rank frowned, and suddenly let go of his hands in front of his lower abdomen, as if he was about to go out to argue with Xue Ji. Qing is on the same level, and even the importance gradually catches up with Jian Rong of the Charcoal Temple who is the six ministers.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Mo Moyun praised calmly, and then said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, in the fifth year of Kaiping, on August [-]th, at night, the remnants of the Hengduan Mountain bandits and Xizuo Xizuo joined forces to attack the imperial envoy where Pei Yue was. With the cooperation, Pei Yue wiped out those enemies in one go. However, the minister investigated the file and found that before these two groups of people took action, there were more than ten killers who broke into Xingyuan and tried to assassinate Pei Yue. "

His tone was flat, but it fell into the ears of the First Prince Liu Xian like thunder.

What a ruthless knife!
