Shengpingle

Chapter 188
Although the Feng family is wealthy, their status is not as good as his, and they dare not treat his beloved daughter badly.

Sure enough, after his daughter married to Feng's family, her parents-in-law and husband respected and cared for her very much, and her life was very happy.

He learned from the pain, firstly, because he was a daughter-in-law's backing to gain a foothold in his husband's family, and secondly, because he didn't want to be controlled by his wife anymore, he tried his best to pursue his official career, and finally entered Yushitai.

Unexpectedly, not long after he entered Yushitai, the Feng family committed a crime, the head of the family and several clan elders were executed, and the rest were all exiled.

His daughter, son-in-law and several grandchildren are all in exile.

Several grandchildren were still young, and died on the way before reaching the place of exile.

His daughter was not used to the hardships of the escort, and after such a blow, she disappeared within a few days.

His son-in-law disappeared later, and it is not known whether he is still doing hard labor in the exile, or he has long since disappeared.

When the Feng family committed a crime, the Xu Du censor tried everything possible to save his daughter, but he was only a censor at that time, and the Feng family was charged with the same crime. Who would help him, and who would dare to help him?

Perhaps the death of his daughter and grandson further stimulated him, and he pursued his official career even more, and after nearly ten years, he actually climbed to the position of the capital censor.

He managed to get to a high position by relying on flattery and self-seeking. Although he didn't do anything bad, he didn't do anything good either.

As the capital censor, he didn't want to satirize the emperor's courtiers, and turned the entire censor platform into a flattering platform for the emperor to sing his praises, and his reputation in the court and the public was extremely bad.

I just don't know how he will feel now that he knows the truth about his daughter's in-law's crime.
Elder Meng Shoufu sighed and said, "This is the evidence that the prince searched from Ge's mansion, everyone come and see if it is true or not."

Mother Ge, who was dying and paralyzed on the chair, suddenly jumped up without knowing where the strength came from, and shouted, "It's true! It's absolutely true!

That's my son's handwriting, absolutely correct!Can't go wrong!
You dog officials, don't try to cover up your mistakes for the dog emperor! "

Everyone, "..."

When it comes to dog officials, your son definitely ranks first in Da Xiao. How did you have the courage to scold us dog officials?
Yan Shangshu returned the pamphlet to Meng Shoufu, and greeted him warmly, "Everyone come and see, Commander Hua, can you show me that pot?"

Hua Manzhou took a step back and stared at him vigilantly, "No, my lord told me to protect this pot!"

Yan Shangshu, "..."

No, he must find a way to see it today, otherwise he will definitely not be able to sleep at night!

Then, how should we think of a way to deal with this stupid boy?

The flamboyant and handsome Yan Dashangshu stroked his chin and began to think seriously...

……

……

Besides, when Emperor Zhenghe learned that Huo Yanzhi had found the half-booklet that he had been looking for so hard, he brought Ge Mu into the Shangshutai, he was startled and angry, he picked up the inkstone from the imperial case and slammed it at Hu Weiyi, "Idiot!"

Hu Weiyi didn't dare to hide, and was immediately smashed to the point of bleeding.

But he didn't even dare to hum, and kowtowed repeatedly, "The emperor calms down! The emperor calms down!"

Shi Jingqian pondered and said, "Jin Yiwei couldn't find it, but King Fuguang found it as soon as he looked for it—"

The meaning is that Huo Yanzhi might have found the pamphlet a long time ago, and now he just took this opportunity to take it out.

Or, Huo Yanzhi simply forged such a pamphlet a long time ago!

Nian Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately continued, "Shi Shangshu is right! Your Majesty need not be angry, as a slave, this matter is very easy to handle.

When King Fuguang came with that booklet, he directly destroyed the booklet for the crime of forging evidence, and then took King Fuguang!

Your Majesty, as long as King Fuguang enters the Punishment Department, the servant guarantees that he will never annoy the Emperor again! "

Zheng Hedi's anger slowed down slightly, as expected, Nian Yu'er was easy to use, and he said a total of three sentences, all of which touched his heart!
Shi Jingqian frowned, "No! King Fuguang's status is noble, and he has made great contributions to the country. He must never be insulted by this way of dealing with courtiers and servants!"

Although he knew that what Shi Jingqian said was right, Zheng Hedi still found it very unpleasant to hear, and looked at Shi Jingqian with dissatisfaction, "Then what do you think?"

As soon as Emperor Zhenghe finished speaking, the eunuch's voice came over, "King Fuguang begs to see—— King Fuguang begs to see—"

Zheng Hedi's breathing was stagnant, but Huo Yanzhi came quickly!
"Meng Shoufu asks for an interview——Li Cifu asks for an audience——Fu Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials——Ask for an audience with Yan Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites——Ask for an audience with Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry——Ask for an audience with Hu Siqing of Dali Temple——Ask for an audience with Xu Du Yushi at Yushitai—"

The eunuchs sang one after another, Zheng Hedi looked gloomy, did Huo Yanzhi bring all the cabinet elders and the third division?

Nian Yu snorted coldly, and took two steps forward, in a guarding posture.

Zheng Hedi saw it clearly, and his heart was slightly warm.

Sure enough, the teachings of the ancestors are not wrong. These rootless people have nothing to rely on except the emperor. .

Above this court, there are mostly people who are trying to gain fame, even Shi Jingqian, for the sake of so-called fame and reputation, these eunuchs may not be easy to use.

While Zhenghe Dizheng was thinking about it, Huo Yanzhi and others had already brought Ge Mu into the imperial study.

After saluting, Huo Yanzhi handed over the roster to Nianyu, and Nianyu handed it over to Emperor Zhenghe.

As soon as Zheng and Difu got the roster, their expressions changed, and they quickly flipped back, the more they turned, the worse their expressions became.

Naturally, he wouldn't show the half of the roster he got before to others all over the world, so that they could verify whether it was true or not.

But he knew Gray's handwriting, and he had read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child.

Moreover, the contents recorded in it are all facts, and the words used in the writing are also in line with Gray's habits. It is definitely the truth written by Gray himself, so he takes it for granted that it is true.

But the so-called not afraid of not knowing the goods, is afraid of comparing goods.

Once you get this roster and compare it with the previous one, a fool will probably know that this one is the real one.

And the half of the book he got before was either forged by someone else, or copied by Gray himself!

So, now he has the fake first half and the real second half in his hand.

The question now is whether the first half of the book he got before was copied by Gray himself, or was it forged by others?

If someone else forged it, who would that person be?
Where is the real first half?

Zheng Hedi's eyes fell on Huo Yanzhi, and he immediately denied it.

No, if he forged it, at this time, he should have produced the second half of the forged book.

Just taking out the original with such a big stab made him suspicious for no reason.

And if he had hidden the first half of the real book, that is to say, he already knew that his mother, mother-in-law and family were all killed by his own efforts, and he should not be so calm.

Who would that be?

And is there a fake second half?

Huo Yanzhi didn't have the patience to wait for him to think slowly, and asked directly, almost rudely, "Have you finished reading it? Are the charges above true?"

Zheng Hedi's breathing was stagnant, and Meng Shoufu and others almost suffocated. My lord, at this time, there is no need to show your good qualities of being open and aboveboard, right?

Nian Yu yelled, "Bold! King Fuguang, who do you think you are talking to!"

Huo Yanzhi was inexplicable, "Speak to the emperor! I just read the ancestral precepts of the Xiao family. The emperor broke the law, and the emperor's order can directly question the crime. Do you want to see the palm print of the year?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Jiufangfeng, "Which one is it? Show Nian's palm print."

Nianyu, "..."

Is it now a question of whether he can read the Xiao family's ancestors' precepts?
Jiufangfeng respectfully enshrined the ancestral precepts of the Xiao family in her hands to Huo Yanzhi, "My lord, this is the first one."

Huo Yanzhi snorted, "It's the first one. It seems that Grandpa Taizu attaches great importance to the emperor's virtue."

Zheng Hedi's complexion turned blue, whose family's ancestral precepts did not first restrain the highest ruler?
But how many are actually implemented?What's more, it's Tianjia?

Huo Yanzhi deliberately opposed him!It's a crime!
"Here, please see the palm print of the year."

Nianyu, "..."

Thanks, he doesn't want to see it at all!
"Don't you even read the palm print of the year?"

Huo Yanzhi was very regretful, and said again, "Emperor, do you plead guilty?
If you do not plead guilty, the minister will hand over the case to the cabinet for approval, and the minister will supervise and make a joint decision."

Elder Meng's first assistant couldn't stand listening anymore, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, regardless of whether the book is a false accusation or not, the fact that Gray's mother sued the Emperor in front of the clan's mansion has already caused a big commotion and caused a lot of public discussion.

In terms of emotion and reason, the emperor should first issue an edict to sin against himself, and then go to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors and declare his innocence to heaven and earth."

Now this roster has not been circulated, the only trouble is the matter of Ge's mother, and Gray's reputation was not very good during his lifetime.

When the emperor came back from the Taimiao, the matter had almost subsided.

At that time, if you show favor to the people, the matter will basically be smoothed out.

In short, Meng Shoufu still used the usual and muddy method.

Emperor Zhenghe wanted to laugh when he heard this, he sinned against himself, and worshiped the Taimiao to declare to the world!
Do these old men in the cabinet want to belittle him as the emperor every day, so as to elevate themselves and show their noble qualities?

Nian Yu sneered, "A mother of a corrupt official who broke the law, ran to the clan's mansion with such audacity and yelled a few times, that the emperor will sin against herself?
Mr. Meng Shoufu, aren't you out of your mind? "

Emperor Zhenghe was heartbroken when he heard this, as expected, Nian Yu'er understood his heart!
Seeing the humiliation of Mr. Meng's first assistant, several ministers in the cabinet were about to speak, but Huo Yanzhi drove him away, "The palm print of the year is right, it is only a trivial matter for Gray's mother to sue the emperor.

What matters now is whether the roster found from the Ge family is true, and whether the things recorded in it are true.

Since the emperor categorically denies it, it will be submitted to the cabinet for approval as the king said just now."

Elder Meng's first assistant silently lowered his eyes. He originally wanted to avoid the serious and take the light, so as not to cause the emperor to be deeply involved in scandal.

The emperor's silence and Nian's palm print interjection made the prince return to the most fundamental and serious problem.

Nian Yu sneered, "Your Highness said well, Your Majesty, from the point of view of slaves, the elders in the cabinet are almost here now.

It's better to just examine and approve in this imperial study, the slaves want to see if they can judge white people into black people! "

This is clearly about to use power to suppress the cabinet.

Yan Shangshu coughed, and couldn't help reminding, "The handprint of the year, if the matter is submitted to the cabinet's red pen for approval, it must be recorded in the file, and the officials of the third division can verify that it is correct before the final conclusion can be made."

It means that if it is really handed over to the cabinet, it is tantamount to making the contents of the roster public and recorded in the annals of history.

Nianyu obviously didn't know the cabinet's operating procedures. After a moment of surprise, he said angrily, "What does Yan Shangshu mean? I'm sure the emperor really committed such a crime? So you have to hide it?"

Yan Shangshu, "..."

If it weren't for the notoriety of Nian's palm print, he would have suspected that Nian's palm print belonged to the prince and his gang.

With such an accusation suppressed, Yan Shangshu could only kneel obediently and plead guilty.

As soon as he knelt down, Li Cifu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials all knelt down.

Shi Jingqian hesitated for a while, then also knelt down.

Nian Yu was even angrier, "The elders are threatening the emperor?"

Emperor Zhenghe waved his hand to tell him to shut up, and his sinister eyes swept across the cabinet and the officials of Dali Temple one by one, and finally fell on Huo Yanzhi and Jiufangfeng.

"Where's the old lady of the Ge family?"

Huo Yanzhi replied calmly, "He has been sent back to the clan mansion, and he is under strict supervision."

Zheng Hedi sneered, is this implying that he should not think about robbing?
Unfortunately, he is the emperor, he is not!
"According to my will, all members of the Ge family who spread rumors and commit crimes will be punished by the death penalty!
Jin Yiwei who helped the old woman of the Ge family to escape, her family will be exiled and executed immediately! "

This is to be suppressed with power and severe punishment!
Elder Meng's chief assistant was shocked, took two steps on his knees, and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, although the contents of the roster were not made public, some of them were called out by Ge's mother at the gate of the clan's residence.

If severe punishment is used to suppress it, I'm afraid it will cause public opinion and hurt my emperor's name! "

Zheng Hedi sneered, "Then what do you say? Find those troublemakers and explain to them one by one?

I am the king of a country, the son of heaven, but there is a tricky woman who slanders and slanders me one after another.

It is my fault of benevolent government since I came to the throne, and there is no need for severe punishment. How can I let the wicked people know the majesty of the emperor? "

Sure enough, Xianyu is right, he is too benevolent, so that every ants want to bully him!
Elder Meng's first assistant knelt down on the ground, his hands trembling unconsciously, but he couldn't utter the phrase "defense against the people".

The rest of the people look at me and I look at you, they are all dumb.

Huo Yanzhi frowned, "The emperor wants to intimidate the people with heavy punishments? Military division of the nine directions, which one of the ancestral precepts is written?"

Jiu Fangfeng seamlessly continued, "Article [-], the holy ancestor taught that descendants who are kings should practice benevolent government, love the people, and do not threaten the people with severe punishments.

Otherwise, it is unfilial, the imperial order can teach it, and the world can discuss it together."

Everyone, "..."

The sense of sadness and desolation that had just been caused by the emperor's words disappeared in an instant!
My lord, what should we say about you!
Zheng Hedi's expression became more and more gloomy, "Oh, how does that order intend to teach me?"

"Emperor, although I don't understand the way of being a king, the teachings of the Taizu are always correct.

I hope that the emperor will implement a benevolent government, love the people, and not destroy the Great Wall by himself, so that the people will hate him."

Huo Yanzhi frowned sullenly, and his tone was serious, as if to teach the younger generation a lesson.

Emperor Zhenghe couldn't hold back his sneer anymore, "Uncle Emperor, remember that you are a minister!"

Huo Yanzhi snorted, and put the scroll of ancestral precepts in his hand into his sleeve, "The emperor reminded you rightly, the emperor didn't listen to the advice, the imperial edict is a minister after all, you can't beat the emperor with a military stick.

But since the minister respectfully serves as the Zongling, in order to be worthy of the salary of twenty shi per month, he still has to say what should be said.

Now that I have finished speaking, it is time for the minister to take his leave, and ask the emperor to return the roster.

That is the evidence of the Clan Mansion, and it must be filed and recorded in the file."
