Twin Brocade

Chapter 270 Impeachment
Just when Fang Mudi thought he was going to bully her again, Cui Sheng took a deep look at her, turned and left the room.

Seeing his figure leave, Fang Mudi loosened his body and grabbed the edge of the mirror of the dressing table with both hands, so as not to let himself fall down.Confronting him took all her energy.

Chuxue came in and saluted: "My servant waits for Miss Di to rest."

She was full of surprises, as the person Cui Sheng personally ordered to serve Fang Mudi, her identity was not just that of a maid.The woman who thought she couldn't help but be moved by seeing her, could not escape Cui Sheng's clutches tonight, but unexpectedly she was able to escape unscathed.

In her heart, Chuxue couldn't help respecting Mudi.

Fang Mudi didn't know why Cui Sheng let her go and lay on the soft pillow of the high bed, so she had no choice but to cheer for herself over and over again.Thinking of what Fang Jinshu had said to her, thinking of Aunt Hu, she had to persevere.

She had given up thinking about her own reputation, it couldn't be any worse anyway.

In the next few days, because Fang Mudi was kidnapped by Cui Sheng, there was an uproar in the court.Wenchen and Xungui, two completely different behemoths, fought again because of this incident.

With the performance of the Chen Qing Zhezi, Fang Shuyu became the incarnation of unyielding power, attacking Cui Sheng's actions.Among the civil servants and female relatives, everyone is in danger, blowing the pillow wind in the ears of the husband.

Those nobles in Beijing all have privileges, and there are stories of bullying the market and ruining women from good families from time to time.But all along, they have lived in peace with the civil official group.

Courtiers have no personal pain if their own interests are not violated.

And this time, although Cui Sheng kidnapped only the second concubine of the Fang family, who knows who his next target will be?If I don't punish him severely this time, let those nobles know that they are afraid, will my wife and daughter be in danger next time?
With such a state of mind, the civil servants were united as never before, and even the disputes over political opinions were put aside for the time being, and they wrote letters to impeach Cui Sheng and demanded severe punishment.

In these impeachment papers, not only are Cui Sheng's past absurdities listed again, but he even broke a bowl in someone else's house when he attended a banquet with his mother when he was a child, as evidence of his unbearable stubbornness.

The wind of impeachment was so strong that other nobles also suffered disasters.

Which of these people's family doesn't have some shitty things?The censors collected a lot of criminal evidence in the past, and some of them were plausible enough to be impeached, and now they have all been turned over.

In just a few days, Emperor Qinglong couldn't fit these memorials on his desk.His confidant eunuch Wu Guangqi ordered someone to bring out several bamboo baskets to hold these memorials.

All of a sudden, the nobles in Beijing were panicked.When secretly hating Cui Sheng who stirred up this mess, he also restrained his children and behaved like a man with his tail between his legs.

And Emperor Qinglong's attitude is also interesting.

He kept all impeachment memorials unpublished.It was only decreed that Fang Mu be conferred the vacant title of Qing Guanglu, a special advanced silver doctor, from the third rank, as a show of appeasement.

Such a move made the officials puzzled.If the emperor wanted to uphold justice for the Fang family, why didn't he order Cui Sheng to release him immediately?If the emperor wanted to severely punish the Cui family, he did not approve the memorial, nor issued an order to reprimand him.

Therefore, Anshun Hou Mansion, which was in a similar situation to Guicheng Hou Mansion, tentatively wrote a memorial.In the memorial, he complained for Cui Sheng, saying that Cui Sheng and Fang Mudi were in love, but Fang's family beat the mandarin ducks because they were afraid of their reputation.

In his memorial, Cui Sheng seemed to be an affectionate man, with a sense of responsibility and responsibility. He begged Fang Mudi but failed, so he did such wrong things.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the content of this memorial spread in Beijing.If it wasn't for Cui Sheng's name and surname mentioned in the memorial, everyone would almost have thought he was referring to another man.

However, the content in the memorial is indeed true.

Including how Cui Sheng sent the housekeeper to ask for marriage, and offered a generous dowry, but was rejected by Ponzi's greed for money; How many times did he send a matchmaker to the door, but the Fang family delayed and refused.

There are such facts, and after rendering with ink and ink, even the common people in Beijing can't help but feel dubious.

Could it be that the Dumb Overlord turned out to be genuine this time?

However, for the courtier Xungui, what he cared most about was Emperor Qinglong's attitude towards this memorial.The news that came out of the palace was also kept in silence.

This time, while the officials were puzzled, they became more apprehensive.Emperor Qinglong treated everyone equally, didn't he intend to take advantage of this matter to suppress nobles and weaken their power?

Isn't Guicheng Hou Mansion always feared by His Majesty?
After receiving this news, the nobles felt as if they had found a treasure, and overnight, they published dozens of scriptures to support Cui Sheng.In their description, the love between Cui Sheng and Fang Mudi is like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, crying ghosts and gods, and the Fang family is that hateful Queen Mother, who beats mandarin ducks with a stick.

The impact of this turmoil was so great that even the officials of Hou Bo and Mushou who were entrusted to various places wrote letters to assist their own side.

Civil servants and nobles who can't get used to each other, the two parties who originally had grievances in private, even broke out the black information about each other one after another, exposing people's pain.In the memorial of impeachment, the taste gradually changed.It is no longer just a matter between Cui and Fang, but has evolved into an attack between courtiers and nobles.

The situation gradually spiraled out of control.

As the source of all this, Fang Shuyu was not in a hurry.

The more chaotic it is now, the more calm he is.In the eyes of people from all walks of life, they feel more and more that he has expert guidance.Otherwise, with his powerful position at this time, how dare he set off this disturbance?
Faintly, Fang Shuyu gradually had the tendency to become the leader of young officials.

Amid all the turmoil, a letter was delivered by Fang's family to Jingyi Nunnery far away from the mundane world, and into Jinghe's hands.

The years in the nunnery were still so peaceful, Jinghe finished reading the letter, put it together with the letters from Cui's family in the past few days, and thought about it for a while.There is a medicine grinder in front of her, and there is still a faint medicine fragrance on her hand.

The situation in Beijing is not on her mind.

It's just that the Cui family is currently on the cusp of the storm, since she wrote to ask for advice, she had to think of a way out for them.Jinghe wanted to take revenge on Concubine Zheng in the palace, but it was obviously impossible for Ji Sishui and his wife alone, and they needed the help of the Cui family.

Besides, that little girl from the Fang family also wrote to intercede on Fang Mudi's behalf.

Even if it's just for the sake of Princess Jing'an, she can't ignore it, not to mention that Fang Jinshu is an insider of Ji Sishui's identity and Jinghe's collaborator.

She was born in the Cui family, and was with the late emperor for several years, and she was also a bystander.He could see the chaos in front of him more clearly than everyone in the Cui family.
