Whether the ruler and the ministers give or receive

In the early morning, the first crowing of the rooster sounded, and the white mist had not yet dissipated in the imperial city. The red pillars of the red gate, the glazed tiles, and the white jade long steps, the officials and officials lined up and walked towards the main hall in order.

The sound of gongs and drums gradually sounded, and the father-in-law shouted: "Your Majesty is here."

The old emperor came out from behind the huge screen, with a serious face, and there seemed to be countless worries in his eyes.His face also gradually turned pale.

All the ministers knelt down, and the officials below began to report one by one. It was nothing more than trivial matters. The emperor looked at the papers handed over with a blank face and did not open them carefully. Instead, he threw them on the desk.After some reporting, he was finally close to the sanitation of the morning court. The emperor seemed a little irritable, just because he couldn't wait for what he wanted, and his sleepless heart was a little anxious.

"Minister, I have something to report." Qian Youli stood up, and all the officials were surprised. Since taking office, the new champion Qian Youli has not reported any papers, and he doesn't deal with the officials very much on weekdays. Although he did not offend anyone, It is not pulled to the background either.

"Oh? What's the report for the new top scholar?" The emperor's seriousness showed a trace of a smile, and his impetuous face became quiet.

"I want to impeach General Sun." After Qian Youli said a word, all the ministers sighed. They really didn't understand where General Sun had offended the new champion. Besides, the new champion was also very courageous. General Sun General Ding'an's lieutenant general is also considered a great hero in the founding of the country, and now a mere new top scholar impeaches him, so why don't the officials feel surprised.

"Oh? Tell me, let me listen." The emperor loudly overwhelmed all the officials, and all the officials stopped talking, staring at the next good show.

"General Sun oppressed the people in the imperial city, deducted taxes privately, and arrested shop owners to force him to make false accounts. Some people have beaten drums and complained in many places, but officials and officials have no choice but to protect each other. In the end, they have no choice but to find lower officials. The lower officials are sympathetic to the people's livelihood. The officials also want to impeach General Sun." Just after the top scholar in the new department finished speaking, before the emperor came to speak in a hurry, two more ministers stood up, namely Tanhua Li Zhongwei and No. [-] Xu Qing.

"I want to impeach Liu Shilang, the Ministry of Rites." Both of them bowed.

After speaking, someone's hands trembled and he almost fell to the ground.This person is Liu Shilang from the Hanlin Academy. He is already 60 years old, and he looks unwell. No one would have thought that Mr. Liu, who seems to be always honest, would have an accident this time.

"I don't know what evidence the three have. If there is no evidence, the three are guilty of deceiving the emperor, and they will destroy the nine clans." General Sun's temper was rather impatient, and before the emperor could speak, he stood up first.

Qian Youli had expected such a thing a long time ago, and said a word almost without thinking. "This is the account book of many shops. This matter should have been the work of Da Sinong, but unfortunately, I, Da Sinong, died of illness last year and no one cares about it. I don't know why this tax collection fell on General Sun. Anyway. , this kind of business is not up to General Sun." After speaking, he took out two account books from his sleeve and presented them.The father-in-law was also clever. He glanced at the emperor's eyes, hurried up to pick it up, and presented it to the hall.

"This is the examination paper of Liu Shilang's son, and this is the examination paper of Zhang An, a talented scholar in Shenzhou. The content written by the two of them is every word and sentence, without missing a single word. I don't know how to explain this?" The papers were taken out.Gradually open it, turn around, and the few people who are relatively close can see it clearly, not to mention the content, even the title has not changed a word.

As early as after the imperial examination, Lan Ziyu ordered someone to steal back those discarded examination papers. As expected, there were indeed some clues.It's just that Lan Ziyu didn't expect that this time when the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, Liu Shilang was immediately caught by her, which can be regarded as a big gain.

"Liu Shilang, what's going on?" The emperor's voice became a little cold.

"I'm guilty, all of this is my fault, nothing else." The old man originally wanted to ask Prime Minister Xiao Jian'an for help, but just turned his eyes and saw the fierce light in Prime Minister Sun's eyes, and he couldn't help it. Don't bow your head, shoulder all these crimes by yourself, he has a wife and children, if he wants to be accidentally caught by the prime minister as a hostage, he might as well give up his old life.Just resist this crime.

"Oh? You really did it alone?" The emperor's tone became a little funny, as if he didn't seem to be asking.

The veteran's body trembled, and he said tremblingly: "It is indeed the envoy of the minister alone."

Saying a word, there are sighs all over the hall.Everyone knows that Liu Shilang has always kept his duty, but he never expected that he knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart.

"Bold." After saying a word, all the ministers immediately silenced, and all of them knelt down.

"Yesterday I received a secret report, which is the absolute evidence of the collusion between officials and officials. If you come out and admit your mistakes today, this matter will be fine, but you have turned me around. Do you stand up on your own, or do you want me?" One by one." After the emperor finished speaking, several people immediately showed sad expressions on their faces, but still no one dared to stand up.

"Well, I'm not polite anymore, come here, let the officials become adults, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, and Mr. Nian of the Hanlin Academy will be dragged down, and they will be locked up in the sky prison for interrogation at another day." The emperor's majestic voice came, and all the ministers Heart trembled.

"You are wronged, Your Majesty..." There was a miserable cry, but the emperor didn't even look at it.The eyes of all the ministers followed the mourning four people out of the door, and then returned.

In the past, His Majesty always turned a blind eye to these things. He didn't know what medicine he had taken today, but he would remove the four ministers at once. Obviously, the Prime Minister's face has some Unable to hang on, four of his subordinates had problems. Looking at General Ding'an's flat face, only Sun Wei was lost, and he didn't seem to take it seriously.

Involuntarily, he glanced at Qian Youli, the champion of the new division, and when he looked away, Qian Youli just forgot to look at him. There was a mysterious smile on his eyes. People, now already have eyes like looking at prey.It's not easy for these three people.

The morning was late, and Lan Ziyu waited for a long time in Zhuangyuan's mansion before seeing the three of them come in, with smiles on their faces, Lan Ziyu guessed that the invitation was almost done, and a banquet was set up at Qianlixiang that night.

When she returned to her mansion, the moon was already very round. Lan Ziyu carried the jug and took a sip of sweet-scented osmanthus wine before walking into the mansion gate. As soon as she entered the mansion, she felt a light fragrance sweeping over her, and her soft body fell down. into a warm embrace.

He raised his head and couldn't see who was coming, so he just smiled: "Mo Ruqing, tell me, I've worked hard all day long, and I've only just seen some results. It's been a long day, when will I be big." She Hehe smiled.

Mo Ruqing was taken aback, and didn't say much. It seemed that Lan Ziyu was rarely drunk today, and he was really drunk. Even his usual vigorous tone became much gentler. He couldn't help but feel that Waves of ripples swept through.

"You're drunk." Mo Ruqing said, but only for a moment, Lan Ziyu, who was originally full of confusion, suddenly woke up, stood up straight, pushed away Mo Ruqing's arms, and went straight to her room walked over.

"Drunk? You're just drunk! I'm not drunk." Lan Ziyu snorted coldly, took another sip from the jug, staggered into the room, and closed the door.Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief, and slowly squatted down against the wooden door.

To be reborn once is just to find a way to survive in the midst of intrigue, but in the end he is no match for this chaotic competition. If he wins, he will be able to avenge his shame.

The prince is stupid, and his heart is a little bit cruel. This is nothing more than the teaching of the East Palace. The biggest stumbling block is still behind him. He digs it step by step, but there are always those who are so unwilling to come out to block the sword.

After thinking about it, he just felt tired, and a sense of drowsiness swept over him, so he took off his boots and rolled into the quilt.

Mo Ruqing stood there for a long time, looking at her empty hands, and at the direction where the man disappeared, couldn't help but smile wryly.Forget it, after tonight, tomorrow is destined to be another bloodbath.

The next day, at the top of the moon, the sound of birds singing outside came over again and again. Lan Ziyu was overwhelmed, only to feel a severe headache, probably because she drank too much, and vomited several times in the middle of the night, almost making her bowels feel fast. I vomited out, and now I still feel bouts of stuffiness.

He was fully awake when Chen Bolai knocked on the door, hammering vigorously one after another, like a savage.Lan Ziyu yawned and got up.

The young housekeeper was dripping with sweat, gasping for breath and saying, "Someone is coming from the palace, get ready."

Lan Ziyu smiled, but didn't answer. He had expected such an incident a long time ago, and he was already prepared in his heart. It was probably the first time this guy saw such an honorable person, and he was somewhat nervous in his heart.

"Don't get excited, the master has taught you to stay calm and watch the changes. If you are so flustered, don't make any mistakes." Lan Ziyu changed into clean clothes and adjusted her appearance before slowly leaving When I went to the vestibule, I thought that my father-in-law was already impatient to wait, so he walked up and down for a long time, and the whisk also swept back and forth for several hours. When he saw Lan Ziyu walking over, the expression on his face finally improved a lot.

"Fortunately, the emperor ordered that the number one scholar of the Lan Clan Xiexin Division in Qianzhou broke the case of cheating in the scientific examination, and donated money many times to help the national treasury empty crisis. Hereby, I order Lan Ziyu to be the chief minister, in charge of money, gold, silk and other currencies. Here." As soon as the father-in-law finished reading, Lan Ziyu knelt down, but with a strange expression on his face.
