Da Bong fights more people

The Dali Temple Minister and other factions involved in this matter raised their lips, waiting for the show to begin, but also impatient to take revenge on Xu Qi'an and Wei Yuan.

University scholar Zhao Tingfang's faction is alone and lonely, with his brows furrowed.

In normal times, he would not be afraid of the provocations between the parties, nor the Minister of the Ministry of War.However, now the minister of the Ministry of War came with the "general trend" and bound the Dongge University scholar with the students of Yunlu Academy.To wash away the grievances of Dongge University scholar is equivalent to washing out the grievances of Xu Xinian, and there are too many enemies.

Inside and outside the hall, the rest of the neutral parties tacitly watched the excitement and watched the changes.If we talk about the position, it is naturally biased towards the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and it is impossible to lean towards Yunlu Academy.

"Aiqing, please tell me." Emperor Yuan Jing sat high on the dragon chair, looking energetic.

"I was ordered to investigate the case of Dongge University scholar Zhao Tingfang accepting bribes and leaking questions to examinee Xu Xinnian. Now the truth has come to light. There are three people involved in the case, namely Xu Xinnian, a student of Yunlu Academy; Zhao Tingfang, a student of Dongge University, and his actions. Butler in the middle.

"In addition, according to Xu Xinnian's account, he is a strong Dongge University scholar through his brother Xu Qi'an."

Sun Shangshu's report is over.

The corresponding confession had already been submitted to the emperor for his review, but all matters discussed at the court meeting were submitted one day in advance.

Yuan Xiong, the censor of Zuodu, turned his body sideways and looked at Wei Yuan expressionlessly.

The rest of the officials also looked at Wei Yuan, waiting for his response and counterattack. Sun Shangshu's step was to forcibly drag Wei Yuan into the water and not give him a chance to stand by.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

At this time, an old gray-haired censor came out, and it was Zhang Xingying who had made great contributions in Yunzhou.

Emperor Yuan Jing's answer did not change, he said in a deep voice, "Please tell me, Aiqing."

Zhang Xingying glanced at Sun Shangshu from the corner of his eye, and raised his voice: "I want to sue Sun Min, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, for abusing his power and beating him up. Your Majesty, please order the three divisions to conduct a joint trial before investigating the case of imperial examination fraud."

This is a commonly used trick in officialdom: dragging words!

The effect of this trick depends on the emperor's intention.

That's it?Sun Shangshu sneered, and retorted: "Your Majesty personally issued an order for this case, and the Ministry of Punishment and the government government jointly tried it and supervised each other, so why torture it into a trick.

"Those three criminals are being held in prison. His Majesty will send someone to find out if they have been tortured or not."

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded slowly, stopped looking at Zhang Yushi, and asked, "Everyone, how do you think this case should be handled?"

Zhang Xingying stood there disappointed.

Sun Shangshu glanced back at Governor Zhang with a slight disdain in his eyes. With such a weak counterattack, is he planning to give up?

At the same time, Sun Shangshu also inevitably felt disappointed. His Majesty's attitude was very clear, procrastination is useless, but he did not immediately determine the case.

His Majesty is giving Wei Yuan and Zhao Tingfang's followers a chance to fight back.

However, Yuan Xiong, the censor of Zuodu who wanted to drag Wei Yuan into the water, his eyes lit up, he immediately stepped out and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I feel that the nature of this case is extremely serious. After many days of fermentation, everyone in the capital has known it. The students are full of resentment, and the people are filled with righteous indignation. If it is not handled strictly, it is not enough for the people to be angry."

At this time, the Minister of Dali Temple came out, shook his head and said: "Then Xu Qi'an is fighting on behalf of Si Tianjian, and has made great achievements, so he cannot be dealt with."

Dali Temple Minister's words are heartbreaking words, to establish an arrogant image of "Xu Qi'an is proud of his merits" to Emperor Yuan Jing and the princes in the palace.

Emperor Yuan Jing had no choice but to deal with him if he said this, otherwise he would verify the saying of "self-confidence with merit" and set a very bad example.

Zhao Tingfang's party members came out to refute.

The princes of the court waited for a while, and were shocked to find that Wei Yuan hadn't spoken, and the censor under his hand had also quieted down.

So he wants to let go of his confidant Xu Qi'an?

Various thoughts flashed through the hearts of the officials in the palace, and the direction of the wind changed quietly. The officials all stepped out of the matter and spoke tentatively:

"What the Minister of Dali Temple said is very true. This case must be handled strictly and must not be tolerated. Otherwise, the imperial court will lose all prestige and His Majesty will lose all prestige."

For a while, the six departments came out one after another to support Dali Siqing's opinion.

As one of the promoters, the Minister of the Ministry of War who did not speak turned his head to look at Cao Guogong.

Now that the civil servants have expressed their views, Cao Guogong, who is a first-class duke, will add more fire, and a powerful force will be formed in the palace. His Majesty has no reason, and will not fight against this force for a single scholar.

Cao Guogong came out expressionlessly, attracting the eyes of the ministers and nobles around him.

Cao Guogong also contributed to the "imperial examination fraud case". If he came forward on behalf of the nobles, Wei Yuan, who had lost the opportunity, would find it difficult to turn the situation around. For him, the New Year may not be important.However, this will cause an irreparable rift between him and his confidant Xu Qi'an.

After Cao Guogong came out, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Sun Shangshu and bowed to each other:

"Your Majesty, I feel that the Ministry of Punishment and the government government handled this case too lightly. Zhao Tingfang, a scholar of Dongge University, has always been clean and has an excellent reputation. How could he accept bribes?

"Furthermore, although Xu Xinnian is only a student, there has been no "Hui Yuan" in Yunlu Academy for many years. How could the Confucian scholars in the academy give up on such a hasty decision?"

Cao Guogong's words are actually very simple to extract: Xu Xinian is a key student trained by Yunlu Academy. When dealing with him, we must consider the attitude of the academy and not be too heavy.

Sun Shangshu stiffened his neck, turned his head little by little, and stared at Cao Guogong in disbelief.

The faces of Zuo Du Yushi and the Minister of the Ministry of War changed slightly. Before the letter of impeachment was written, the two had conspired for a while.Then, Cao Guogong took the initiative to add fuel to the flames, and united with Xungui to support the two.

Many parties form an alliance with tacit understanding and work together.

At this moment, Yuan Xiong and Qin Yuandao felt angry that the "revolution" was betrayed.

How is this going? !

All the princes in the palace couldn't hide their astonishment. Cao Guogong changed camp?Then what's the point of his previous contribution to the flames?

Suddenly, the princes were startled and looked at Wei Yuan.

When, when did Wei Yuan persuade Cao Guogong, and what benefits did he promise?

When all the princes were guessing, Wei Yuan came back to his senses and looked at Cao Guogong quite unexpectedly.

Wei Yuan seemed extremely surprised, didn't he know? This detail fell into the eyes of everyone, making the ministers even more puzzled.

Suddenly, the situation in the court suddenly became strange.

The ministers fell silent, and did not jump out to refute immediately, but chose to watch the development of the situation.

But the Minister of the Ministry of War could not remain silent. He took three steps forward and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, Cao Guogong's words are stern. Just imagine, if Xu Xinnian is a student of Yunlu Academy, he will be dealt with lightly. How would the Guozijian Academy feel? How would scholars in the world feel?

"Emperor Wenzu set up the Guozijian and swept the scholars of Yunlu Academy out of the court. What was the reason? It was because the scholars of Yunlu Academy had no superiors and used their writing to disrupt the law.

"Cheng Yasheng erected an inscription on the stele in Yunlu Academy: Repay the king's kindness on the day of righteousness and death, and his name will last forever. It is to tell future generations how to be loyal to the king and love the country.

"Do you want to let the helplessness of Emperor Wenzu repeat itself?"
