Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 366 He is destroying his own future
Wei Yan is now the commander of the guards in the mansion. Regardless of other trivial matters, Song Yuan can only come over if he sees him.

When he arrived in large strides, Song Yuan immediately asked, "Has anyone been sent from Tingwei Mansion?"

"No, Mr. Huo is so drunk that he is unconscious. I'm afraid he hasn't sobered up yet." Wei Yan said and laughed: "What I got last night was strong alcohol."

Song Yuan also started to laugh, and before he could stop his smile, the guards trotted in: "Your Highness, there is news in the palace that the chief official of Tingwei Mansion impeached the eighth master for forcing a good girl into prostitution in the morning, and even took out the victim's blood letter, trying to It proves that the female family members who are exiled to the northwest every year are forced into prostitution.”

Song Yuan and Wei Yan's expressions suddenly changed. Song Yuan immediately asked, "Huo Ying didn't stop him?"

"Master Huo was drunk last night and asked for leave today. In the morning, he was temporarily replaced by the main official. That's why this happened." The guard explained: "The Emperor Long Yan was furious and wanted to kill the main official. The three princes and several adults Stop him and demand a thorough investigation into the matter. The palace has sent people to the Tingwei Mansion and wants Mr. Huo to come into the palace immediately."

Song Yuan's heart skipped a beat. This matter was actually quite obscure. Even Huo Ying knew it and didn't dare to say it directly. After all, Song Chun had been in the northwest for so many years. It was impossible for him not to know that no matter how upright the officials were, no one would dare to touch him. The prince's bad luck?
But someone happened to touch it and raised it openly in the court in front of hundreds of officials. This was clearly forcing Emperor Hong Ming and Song Chun to express their stance. It is not surprising that Emperor Hong Ming was angry and wanted to kill people.

While Song Yuan was still thinking, someone came to the palace and announced that she would enter the palace immediately.

Apparently, she was implicated as well.

Song Yuan did not dare to delay, so he immediately put on his court clothes and entered the palace. When he arrived in front of the palace gate, Huo Ying also arrived. The two looked at each other and hurried in without communicating in a tacit understanding.

All the officials were still in the main hall. The official who was the main impeachment officer was still kneeling in the center of the main hall. Kneeling next to him was Song Ling. His face was livid and full of dissatisfaction. He was extremely unhappy about his impeachment. There were many people around him. Many ministers knelt down, and all of them were upright, neither humble nor arrogant, clearly showing signs of coercion.

Emperor Hongming was sitting uneasily on the dragon chair with a gloomy face. The penholder on the dragon table was also swept to the ground. Song Chun stood beside him without saying a word. His face was solemn but not panicked. When he saw Song Yuan and When Huo Ying arrived, his eyes fell on Huo Ying.

Huo Ying is a Tingwei, and it is impossible for him not to know what the Tingwei Mansion can find. He took a leave of absence while drunk today, and the chief official around him was impeached. No matter how he looks at it, this was all deliberately arranged by him.

Song Yuan saluted, then returned to the team and sat down consciously. Song Run in front looked back at her meaningfully, and Song Fu also looked at her specially. This made Song Yuan nervous for no reason, and kept thinking about whether he would have to let her go again today. Take the blame yourself.

"Huo Ying." Emperor Hong Ming spoke in a low and very unhappy tone: "A few days ago, the Tingwei Mansion conducted a thorough investigation on all matters in the northwest. Did you mention in the report the issue of secret prostitution in the northwest army?"

Huo Ying handed over his hand: "I never mentioned it when I returned to the emperor."

"Then when you conduct a thorough investigation, do you have any evidence?"

Huo Ying didn't answer immediately. He glanced at the upright writer and said loudly, "Yes."

One word can condense the atmosphere in the hall several times.

"Think clearly, yes or no?" Emperor Hong Ming almost threatened.

His reaction shocked Song Yuan. No matter how much you want to protect your shortcomings, you have to restrain yourself a little, and threaten Tingwei in front of the civil and military officials of the court?Is your brain caught in the door?
The reaction of others was relatively average, but there was a clear look of disappointment on their faces. It was not difficult to guess that Emperor Hong Ming must have said other stupid things before they came.Song Yuan once again had to be glad that the former princeling had been dealt with. Otherwise, based on Emperor Hong Ming's current performance, a group of ministers would probably turn against the former princeling.

"Go back to the emperor, there is indeed evidence." Huo Ying is not a coward. As a court official, he can make concessions for the sake of the country's justice, but he will never distort the facts to please the emperor, lift his robe and kneel down, with the same waist as the main official. The pole straightened: "A few months ago, Tingwei Mansion had received the news and sent people to the northwest."

His words were like thunder, and even Song Run's expression changed. They claimed to be in control of all the changes in the northwest, but they never thought that the Tingwei Mansion had already sent people to the northwest, and they were completely unaware of it.

Song Chun then asked in a deep voice: "What did the Tingwei Mansion find?"

"According to the investigation, in the past ten years, the female relatives who were exiled in the northwest were all recruited into the army, but the men who were also exiled in the northwest were sentenced to serve for three years and then released free. According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, the two sentences were opposite. Furthermore, women are not allowed to enter the army without permission. What do women do when they join the army? The Tingwei Mansion found the bones of many women in deserted villages in Jiuquan, Xihai and other places.

Some of the bones are too old and have been eaten by wild animals. Not much evidence can be found, but it can be concluded that they were murdered. From the things scattered around, we can judge that it was a place for fun. There are many carvings in the corner bricks and stones. , I could barely make out the handwriting, and every word was full of tears and injustice. The Tingwei Mansion had already made rubbings of them all. "

He spoke in a calm tone, but Song Yuan only felt suffocated and heartbroken. She was someone who had walked through the wasteland once. She was very aware of how many abandoned villages there were in the northwest wasteland. She could not imagine how the people in Tingwei Mansion were like. Having avoided various dangers in the wilderness, he traveled to countless abandoned villages to collect these evidences.

The others were silent. They didn't know the hardship, but they understood Huo Ying's motivation for saying these words.

He was disobeying Emperor Hongming, offending the emperor and all the princes, and destroying his own future.

"Very good." Emperor Hong Ming smiled angrily. He looked at Huo Ying with murderous intent in his eyes: "Since we have found out, why not report it?"

Without telling him, he went to the northwest where there were many princes to investigate the case. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to target the princes?After finding out, he did not immediately submit a request for instructions but instead chose to impeach the government. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to adjust the imperial power?
"The situation is serious, I dare not not find out first." Huo Ying answered perfunctorily, but his meaning was clear. He knew that if he asked for instructions in advance, Emperor Hong Ming would definitely suppress the matter and even destroy the evidence to get rid of them one by one. .

He doesn't want to!

When dealing with the former princeling, he disdained Emperor Hong Ming's methods. He did not truly surrender to this emperor. He did not want to be loyal to a hypocritical king, nor did he want to break the backbone of the Tingwei Mansion that was neither humble nor arrogant.

The atmosphere in the main hall became even lower. The imperial censor, who was already trembling with anger, stood up and came out: "Your Majesty, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. I ask you to thoroughly investigate the northwest and ask for your permission."

As soon as he spoke, Situ and Sikong also stood up. The three of them were highly respected, followed by more ministers who stood up.

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Hong Ming was furious. He didn't like being coerced.

Fortunately, Song Chun was sober and immediately stood up to stop him: "Father, if something like this happens in the northwest, if we don't find out, how can we have the dignity to educate the people? I request an order to thoroughly investigate the northwest."
