Chapter 312 The Last Straw on the Donkey's Back
This is actually not the first time the second prince has taken the imperial examination.
At that time, he also used the imperial examination to frame Mr. Yuan, but because he could not prove his innocence, Mr. Yuan simply retreated bravely and left.
This walk filled Emperor Ming Pei with guilt, not to mention he took Yan Chen Jue away!
So in that battle, he lost miserably on the surface, but in fact he didn't lose. That was the real retreat. And, from that moment on, the second prince's ending was actually doomed.
Of course, he didn't stop investigating that matter, the evidence had already been in his hands, and he was just waiting for a good time to reveal it.
Now, the second prince actually came to take the imperial examination again, this is an opportunity.
There is also Yan Shenjue's recovery, even though he did not do much, but in Emperor Ming Pei's heart, he has made great achievements. The xunchi given by Emperor Ming Pei a while ago was a signal. As a minister, one should know something interesting.
Of course, he can also consider returning to court after the "jianghu" matter is resolved, but it will take at least two or three years, it is not necessary, it is better to leave this matter to Liang Ruoxu, so that he can recover in the future .
Mr. Yuan left as soon as he said he would, and he packed his luggage that day, and set off with those criminals. He only took Yuan Yaochu with him, and did not bring Yuan Yao back.
The second elder brother's homework can be handed over to Liang Ruoxu directly, and of course the Jianghu affairs are also the same. He only told him: "Be kind to Xinbao, and you must be kind to Xinbao and the Tang family."
He also specially came to see Xinbao once, and said to her: "When Uncle returns to Beijing, he will continue to find exotic flowers for you. If he finds them, he will send them to you. Uncle will ask someone to prepare a house for your family." , when the time comes, when the second elder brother goes to take the provincial examination, Xinbao can accompany him, and Xinbao's family can accompany him."
Xinbao nodded, blinked her big eyes, and said obediently: "Uncle, Xinbao will miss you."
"Uncle will also miss Xinbao. Xinbao has learned to read and wants to write to Uncle, and Uncle will also write to Xinbao."
The old and the young, bid farewell.
In the village, the twins hugged Yuan Yaochu and almost cried to death... Yuan Yaochu's eyes were swollen when he arrived, and then he went on the road overnight.
The family members of those students were still surrounding the county government office. Those good people would be arrested after taking the exam. How could they not have an explanation?
Liang Ruoxu sent someone to invite him in, and then sent him out...
Those people stopped as soon as they came out, and then someone followed, trying to find out what Liang Ruoxu said from them.
Then they were caught upright by the people who had been waiting for a long time, found their lair, and sent it to the old man overnight... There was even Fang Zhiyu himself! !
This is really God helping me.
Mr. Yuan traveled all the way back to Beijing day and night, not to mention, there are really people who dare to assassinate, see if you want to see... But Mr. Yuan has not been a fool for so many years, he has enough people around him, come one, take one, bring a pair, Grab a pair.
When I finally went to Beijing, I really gained a lot.
Even though he doesn't have an official position now, he still has a noble title, so he went directly to the palace to meet him, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here to sue you!"
Emperor Mingpei sat firmly on the throne and was well-informed. He had heard about the farce along the way, and he said, "I don't know who Ai Qing wants to sue?"
Elder Yuan said: "I'm terrified, I'm daring! I want to sue the Second Prince for ignoring the foundation of the country and endangering the country!!"
The people around all sighed in unison.
This old fox is really serious, he is going to do big things as soon as he comes! !
Emperor Ming Pei was furious, and directly dispatched the third department, and then ordered Li Tingfang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, to supervise it.
In fact, from this point of view, it can be seen that the prince... only has one name left.
If this kind of thing is not asked to go to trial, then this prince really exists in name only.
Li Tingfang was born in Tanhua. He was a handsome man who was well-known in the capital, and now he is also a beautiful uncle. Of course, he is also a hardcore imperialist.
Emperor Ming Pei's attitude is very obvious, and of course he will act vigorously and resolutely. In addition, Mr. Yuan is rigorous in his work. Whether it is the events of the past or the events of the present, the evidence is clear and clear. It is a real person with complete evidence.
In less than three days, the review was completed and the book was written.
On the same day, Emperor Ming Pei decreed that the second prince should be granted the title of Marquis Gongke, and he would leave the palace to open the palace, and he would not be allowed to enter the palace without an edict.
Respect is respect, Ke is cautious, this is a sentence, if you are not honest, you will die! !
With a decree, everyone was in an uproar.
The second prince has been arrogant for the past few years, and he almost has the tendency to "replace the prince". No one thought that he would fall so easily and thoroughly.
Not even a king, not even an errand! !
There is only one false title of Marquis! Even "no entry into the palace without an edict"! ! !
Gao Zhongming, the king of Changping County, was the father-in-law of the second prince, and he was also implicated. He didn't have the face of the emperor's son, so he directly cut his title and made him a small county magistrate.
This is really a half-life, and in the end, it is nothing to fetch water from a bamboo basket.
But only the jue was cut off, the house was not confiscated, and he didn't die. How can I put it this way, it is considered a fluke.
This is not a decision made by the emperor in a fit of anger. It is a very calm and calm decision.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was not so much that Mr. Yuan sued the second prince, but rather that the emperor could not bear it long ago. Mr. Yuan's report was just the last straw on the donkey's back.
But the second prince, no, Gong Kehou is about to go crazy.
He felt that he was only one step away from the great position, how could he bear it all the way from heaven to earth! !
As soon as Mr. Yuan left the palace, he stopped him and said coldly: "Yuan Weiming! How dare you!!"
The old man is clapping his hands: "Master Hou."
As soon as he heard his name as Lord Hou, Gong Kehou's eyes became even more bloodshot: "Shut up! You hurt me so much, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
"Master Hou speaks too seriously," Elder Yuan said in a low voice, "Master Hou has repeatedly harmed me and my apprentice, so I have no choice but to fight back in order to protect myself!"
Gong Kehou was extremely angry: "We can clearly coexist peacefully! If you were...we are not very good now!!"
"Master Hou, don't you understand?" Mr. Yuan stopped laughing and said word by word: "You only care about fighting for power and profit, and you don't have this world in your heart at all!! The imperial examination is to select scholars for the country, and the hearts of scholars in the world are extremely sacred Solemn and solemn things, but you have repeatedly taken them at your fingertips and trampled on them at will... Where will you put the country and society?"
Gong Kehou was stunned for a moment, his expression blank for a moment.
Elder Yuan said slowly: "Master Hou, listen to my honest advice. What does the word Gongke mean? Master Hou should know that the word 'Hou' can no longer withstand wind and rain."
He cupped his hands and backed away.
The next day, the court decreed that Yuan Weiming would return to the court, and he would be appointed as the right minister and bestowed with a gold medal and purple ribbon.
This is something.
