Chapter 117

There are 134 large and small yamen in Dafengjing City. Apart from the unorganized officials and the military system, there are as many as 10,000 officials who eat official meals.

Among them, only one tenth were able to participate in the early court, and more than a hundred officials, nobles, and clans who were able to enter the Golden Luan Hall to talk directly with the emperor died.

At Yinshi, the civil and military officials who were waiting outside the Meridian Gate gathered together in twos and threes, saying some short words about their parents, and hiding needles in their mouths.

"Your Majesty has been more diligent in court recently."

"Jingcha is coming soon."

"Last year, His Majesty Jingcha was not so diligent."

"Of course it's because of the Sangbo case. Hey, it's a troubled time. Your Majesty is going to lose his temper today, so don't offend me."

"I'm just a civil servant. The Sangbo case has nothing to do with me, not with us."

"Oh, who does that concern?"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Who is it related to?

Of course, it is related to the commander of the five guards of the capital, and of course it is related to the guards who are responsible for defending the capital and the royal family.

Naturally, it is also related to Wei Yuan and Wei Qingyi, the leader of the watchman's yamen.

In front of the Meridian Gate, Wei Yuan was dressed in Tsing Yi, standing alone, out of tune with the surrounding civil and military officials.

Wei Yuan was a very special person, there was no eunuch with more power than him in the dynasty, even the great eunuch next to the emperor did not hold much authority.

Only Wei Yuan is different, he is not only the leader of the policeman's yamen, but also the capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

These two yamen have the power to inspect all officials.

The meaning of Emperor Yuan Jing is very obvious, Wei Yuan is my knife, whoever is disobedient, the knife will fall on whose neck.

Wei Yuan was not only the knife launched by Emperor Yuan Jing to check and balance the officials, but also played a role in attracting hatred.

Civil and military officials did not dare to hate the emperor, but they could vent their emotions towards Wei Yuan.

Right now, the Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen was destroyed, and Emperor Yuan Jing, who had been inactive for a long time, came to court today, obviously full of anger to vent.

Wei Yuan must bear the brunt of it.

Civil and military officials are all happy to eat melons.

At the beginning of Mao, the heavy bells echoed in the dark night sky, which seemed vast and lonely.

Civil and military officials entered through the slowly opened east gate, while clan and princes entered through the west gate.

Emperor Yuan Jing sat high on the dragon chair, overlooking hundreds of officials with a blank expression, and came in from the Meridian Gate orderly, civil and military.

More than a hundred officials, nobles, and clans entered the Golden Luan Hall.

After finishing the match, a member of the criminal department stepped out and said in a loud voice: "The night before yesterday, some thieves broke into Sangbo and blew up the Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen. The imperial city is not well established, so I ask Your Majesty to behead this official to appease the anger of the public."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Immediately, many professional trolls who were involved in the incident jumped out, demanding that Emperor Yuan Jing cut off Wei Yuan's dog's head.

The attack and annihilation in the court is of the same nature as buying vegetables at Caishikou. Usually, when it gets bigger, they will be beheaded and ransacked at every turn.

It doesn't matter if the matter is big or not, just cut off the dog's head.

If the emperor disagrees, he will bargain, from beheading to exile, from exile to dismissal.

Anyway, you can't talk about dismissal, you have to give the emperor a room to bargain. Otherwise, the emperor will see, you guys won't give me a chance to bargain?

Then not guilty.

Contrary to the expectations of the officials, Emperor Yuan Jing directly rejected the impeachment against Wei Yuan and praised Wei Yuan's work.

This puzzled the officials and whispered to each other.

"quiet!"

Emperor Yuan Jing's personal eunuch whipped his whip and warned all officials in a sharp voice.

This matter came to an end, but the impeachment against Wei Yuan did not stop, but changed the target.

Another official from the Ministry of Punishment stepped forward and said: "Xu Qi'an, the beater, blatantly killed the guards at the gate of the Ministry of Punishment, and despised the imperial power. I implore Your Majesty to punish this thief severely, and execute everyone in the house."

Obviously when he was impeached, the old god was in the indifferent Wei Yuan, squinted his eyes, and came out: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment ordered the guards to obstruct the criminals from handling the case, with ulterior motives. I suspect that Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment colluded with the thieves to blow up the Sang Bo, Your Majesty, please dismiss him and put him in the prison for interrogation."

The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate seconded their proposals one after another.

"Nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, Wei Yuan is slanderous, and his heart is to be punished."

"Your Majesty, there is a major problem in the Ministry of Punishment, and the ministers and others have seconded the proposal to remove all officials from the Ministry of Punishment for investigation."

A war of words immediately began on both sides, with officials from other parties occasionally chiming in to fan the flames. Above the court, various factions have entered into a fierce struggle.

The chief minister of the current dynasty, the six ministers, Wei Yuan and other big shots closed their eyes and rested their minds.

Emperor Yuan Jing was not angry at all. Seeing that the officials were almost arguing, he signaled the eunuch to yell and let the Jinluan Hall be quiet again.

"Tonggong Xu Qi'an is already responsible for his crimes, and his actions are inevitably extreme. You should work together to solve the case instead of obstructing each other. If there is another time, I will punish you severely." Emperor Yuan Jing said in a deep voice.

Wei Yuan opened his eyes, with a flash of surprise.

He expected Xu Qi'an to be fine, but he didn't expect Emperor Yuan Jing to speak for the little gong himself.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked around at all the officials with sharp eyes, and continued: "From today onwards, the ban on the city gates will be lifted, and none of the court officials up to the sixth rank or above will be allowed to leave the capital."

"Retire!"

At the beginning of Mao Shi, Xu Qi'an woke up on time, washed and dressed, and went to his second uncle's house for breakfast.

When he used to be a small fast hand in Changle County, he rushed to the Yamen at the beginning of Maoshi, and ordered Mao, which was equivalent to clocking in at work.

After becoming a watchman, considering that Tongluo Xu Qi'an is a poor guy who can't afford a house, Dianmao was changed from the beginning of Maoshi to the third quarter of Maoshi.

Give him an hour and a half to drive.

In this regard, it is quite open-minded to beat the watchman's yamen.

It's winter, and the temperature in the morning is very low, and people will inevitably be sealed by warm bedding for several hours.

The plump and beautiful aunt was sealed on the bed and did not get up. The pretty sister with melon seed face was also sealed.

"You go and call the bell. You developed laziness when you were young, and it will be difficult to correct it when you grow up." Second Uncle Xu said.

Xu Qi'an suspected that he thought the dinner table was not lively enough, because Xu Erlang hadn't arrived at that time, so he returned to Yunlu Academy.

Said that the dean was going to give a lecture this morning, and he had to leave the city at the beginning of Maoshi to catch up.

In this way, Xu Ershu and Xu Dalang were the only ones eating at the table.

Xu Qi'an immediately went to the inner courtyard, knocked on the door of Xu Lingyin's room, and the maid who served Xu Lingyin opened the door.

The little maid said half expectantly, half vigilantly, half shyly, "Da, what does Da Lang want to do?"

It was still dark, so he came to knock on the door. Could it be that Da Lang wanted to take the opportunity to do something to him?

Xu Qi'an said that I came to wake up Lingyin.

Lifting her foot into the room, she saw Xu Lingyin curled up in the thick quilt, like a pillow hidden under the quilt, such a small one.

Xu Qi'an slapped her buttocks to wake her up.

Xu Lingyin opened her eyes in a daze, wiped her saliva, and said vaguely: "It's a big pot."

"Get up and have breakfast."

"oh"

"Then get up!"

"snoring"

"Today's breakfast is steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chick, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, and sauced chicken"

Xu Lingyin who was on the bed suddenly twitched, her limbs kicked wildly, her brain was still sleeping, and her body couldn't wait to eat breakfast.

The maid served Xiao Douding to wash her face and brush her teeth, Xu Qi'an carried her to the front hall, Xu Lingyin's chin rested on Xu Qi'an's shoulder, her buttocks pouted, wanting to sleep but not daring to sleep, afraid of missing out on delicious food.

"Don't go to sleep, brother will sing a song for you."

"oh"

"Little rabbit, be good, open the door, open it quickly, I want to come in. If you don't open it, you won't open it. If your husband hasn't come back, no one will open it."

When she came to the front hall, Xu Lingyin stared at the steamed stuffed bun with soy milk and fried dough sticks in a daze, and she was so wronged that she was about to cry.

"This is not the breakfast I want. What about my steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chick, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, and sauced chicken?"

Did you just write it down? ! Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes: "Brother lied to you."

Xu Lingyin cried "Wow", put his hands behind his back, leaned forward, and sent out a sonic attack towards Xu Qi'an.

After dinner!

"I wouldn't have called her if I knew it earlier, I'm so noisy." Second Uncle Xu hugged his helmet and walked away cursing.

"Yeah, I finally realized how difficult it is for my aunt, and my aunt has worked hard." Xu Qi'an left cursing.

Xu Lingyin was left to eat and cry while being served by the maid.

Although she was sad that there were no steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, or sauced chicken, she could eat while she was sad.

Wei Yuan left the Golden Luan Hall, replaying the current situation in the court in his mind. Suddenly someone shouted from behind: "Wei Gong, wait for our family."

Turning his head to look, it was Eunuch Liu.

Before Wei Yuan was prosperous, he also worked in the palace, and he had a very good relationship with Liu Gonggong, and said with a smile: "Liu Gonggong, what's the matter?"

Eunuch Liu looked left and right, took out some rice paper from his sleeve, and stuffed it to Wei Yuan: "We copied it, Duke Wei can take a look."

Wei Yuan understood, and said with a smile, "Go to the palace some other day and invite my father-in-law to have a few drinks."

After leaving the Meridian Gate, boarded the carriage, and Yang Yan, who was driving the carriage, walked towards the Yamen without saying a word.

Wei Yuan took out the rice paper, looked at it for a while, and smiled.

"What is foster father looking at?" Nangong Qianrou, who was lazily leaning against the carriage and acting as a personal guard, asked curiously.

"I thought I would be reprimanded by His Majesty today, but I didn't expect to pass the test smoothly." Wei Yuan laughed.

"Pass the customs smoothly?" Outside the carriage, Yang Yan asked in surprise.

On the way to the court, Wei Yuan simulated the situation in the court in his mind. He has this habit of simulating the court before and replaying it after the court.

In the original simulation, the court would definitely be impeached this time, and Emperor Yuan Jing took advantage of the situation to blame or give certain punishments.

Wei Yuan was right in guessing that the Sang Bo case had indeed become a source of criticism from political opponents.

It's just that he didn't expect the matter to be revealed so lightly.

Nangong Qianrou frowned and said, "No one took the opportunity to attack the foster father?"

Wei Yuan smiled and handed over the crumpled paper.

Well, my aunt's name is Li Ru, you idiots, you actually asked me why there is no aunt in the character
