The action of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was very fast, and it took less than two days for the Left Prime Minister Wang Anlin to experience what it means that water can carry a boat and overturn it.

All over the streets and alleys of Qicheng, wherever there are people, the people will inevitably scold and abuse him.

Of course, these words were also spread vividly, to the ears of the women in the backyards of the major officials' homes.

It is often said that a woman is equal to five hundred ducks, not to mention Qicheng, the capital of the imperial city, a stone can hit the head of a fourth-rank official.

The transmission speed of the large number of female relatives in various prefectures is no worse than that of the common people.

Listening to the staff's report, the left minister Wang Anlin, who was burning with anger, swept the things on the table and scolded angrily: "That bitch Yan Pei is really deceiving people too much!"

"Master, you may still be unaware. Your Majesty, taking advantage of his official position, has already jointly petitioned His Majesty with many ministers to punish you." The staff member wiped the cold sweat from his head and kept staring at his own face. Tiptoes, not even daring to lift his head.

Left Prime Minister Wang Anlin reassuredly swung his front and sat down again, took a sip of tea from the teacup to quench the fire.

Then he said arrogantly: "The truth is that the elders of the three dynasties have assisted the three kings of the Fengqi Kingdom in Sheji, not to mention that there are noble concubines and empresses in the harem."

"As long as the imperial concubine is blowing the pillow for the truth, Your Majesty, who loves the imperial concubine so much, can't beat and kill her relatives in front of her."

No matter how hard Yan Pei tried to figure it out, it was still a one-shot, and she couldn't do any real harm to herself at all.

But since she has already handed her paw to herself, don't blame the truth for being rude.

Hearing his words, the staff secretly let out a long sigh of relief, raised their eyes to look at him, and said cautiously: "I'm afraid that those ignorant and unscrupulous people will be used by others to put some remarks that hinder the reputation of the prime minister, Pass it to His Majesty's ears."

"I am worried that your majesty will blame the prime minister because of public grievances."

Left Prime Minister Wang Anlin snorted coldly with disdain: "Hmph, is it only the right prime minister's mansion that can guide public opinion?"

"When the truth was in power, she, Yan Pei, didn't know where she was peeing and playing with mud!"

He thought for a moment, then asked someone to bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone again, and wrote a line of words with a brush.

Before the ink was dry, he handed it to the staff, "Arrange according to what is written on the note, but the truth depends on how she responds."

The corner of his mouth raised a sinister smile that he was sure of winning, which made people's hairs stand on end and dripped with cold sweat.

The staff did not dare to delay, put away the note, and trotted out to do business.

……

The Imperial Palace of Fengqi Kingdom, the Imperial Study Room.

At the same time, Concubine Wen Gui was accompanying the driver in the imperial study, nestling in the emperor's arms weakly and bonelessly, whispering a few words to him from time to time.

The crisp laughter, like a lark's, reverberated in the imperial study room from time to time, mixed with the man's low-pitched laughter.

The nature of the two was so strong that the emperor stole the incense.

Seeing the chief eunuch rushing in, he said with a little dissatisfaction: "What's the matter with being so flustered? Have I ever ordered no one to see you?"

"Your Majesty, eat a grape to calm down, you can't be angry with a slave."

Concubine Wen Gui caressed the emperor's generous chest, twisted a round and plump grape with two fingers and fed it to his mouth.

The sweet and greasy voice made him feel a lot better, and he asked casually, "Tell me what's going on."

After casting a grateful glance at her, the chief eunuch said respectfully: "My lord, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Military Affairs, the three ministers, a scholar, and Duke Jing are asking to see her."

The emperor didn't have any special reaction after hearing it, he just thought that several important ministers had important matters to discuss.

Concubine Wen Gui, who had heard the news a long time ago, felt a "thump" in her heart.

Secret call: bad.

She stretched out her white and delicate arms, hooked the emperor's neck in an extremely enchanting and charming way, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, didn't you just want to..."

The tip of his pink tongue outlined the contours of his ears, the emperor gasped suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat.

I just felt a current flow along the tailbone to the scalp, and my strong arms wrapped around her weak and boneless waist, so strong that I wanted to rub her into my chest.

There was a strong longing burning in his eyes, if he didn't still have a sliver of reason, he might really want to suppress this seductive little fairy on the spot.

The emperor took several deep breaths in a row, pressed a kiss on her forehead, and slowly let go of his hand and said, "My dear concubine, you step back first, and when I finish handling the state affairs, I will go over to have dinner with you later."

Concubine Wen Gui was unhappy, but she had to be a woman who knew the general situation, and if she continued to pester her, it would only annoy His Majesty.

She pursed her delicate red lips, and when she got up, she still gave him a wink, and said with all her heart, "Your Majesty, you must come, my concubine is waiting for you in the palace."

The emperor nodded and watched her go out.

"I declare that all the ministers have an audience." He straightened his face and straightened the wrinkles on the dragon robe.

Concubine Wen Gui went to the inner hall, and did not meet the adults waiting outside the hall.

The chief eunuch stood on the stairs, and said in a thin voice: "Your Majesty has an order to announce that all the adults will come to the imperial study for an audience."

Right Prime Minister Yan Pei exchanged glances with everyone, and walked towards the hall together.

"I'll wait to meet your Majesty."

"Excuse me, I don't know what is the so-called meeting with you dear ministers?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister wants to impeach the Left Prime Minister Wang Anlin for abusing his power and buying and selling official positions without permission." Duke Jing Tian Jie was the first to speak out.

Speaking of Jing Guogong Tian Ju, it must start from the time of the first emperor.

At that time, Feng Qi had constant domestic and foreign troubles, and years of droughts in the north and floods in the south. It can be said that there were countless refugees and starvation everywhere.

In remote mountainous areas, the incident of changing children to eat is happening almost every day.

Jing Guogong Tian Ju, who was still the Minister of the Household Department, took the initiative to provoke the leader, suppressing bandits and providing disaster relief at the same time.

The more people fight, the fewer soldiers, but the more he fights, the more soldiers.

After five years, when he finally returned Fengqi Country to a beautiful land with good weather and good weather, the strength of his troops had grown to a terrifying 50.

They can challenge the royal family and become kings on their own.

But he didn't, he still chose to return to Qicheng, and took the initiative to hand over his military power.

In recognition of his great achievements over the years, the first emperor directly named him Jing Guogong, whose status was only lower than that of the king.

Closer to home, when the young emperor heard about it, he had to pay attention to it, and took a look at the memorial presented by the head eunuch. It clearly and plainly stated Zuo Xiang Wang Anlin, how many official positions he sold during the official worship of Zuo Xiang, big and small , There are dozens of them.

Although the official positions are not big, they are all urgent vacancies in various departments.

In this way, nearly one-third of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are his eyes and ears, and even his disciples.

The emperor suddenly remembered that he had failed to implement several decrees smoothly, and he was so angry that he couldn't bear it.

He slapped the table fiercely and cursed: "Wang Anlin is so courageous, he doesn't care about my current state too much!"

This is just an appetizer, the great scholar Deng Hongxuan took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I impeached the left minister Wang Anlin and his henchmen, colluded with many local officials, accepted bribes, sold private salt, embezzled and cheated, even the first two The relief money that His Majesty used for disaster relief in Nian was secretly exploited by them layer by layer, and when it was delivered to the victims, there was not a single one in it."

"Left Chancellor Wang Anlin is still under His Majesty's noses, blatantly extorting and extorting heavy taxes, making the common people miserable, but there is no way to sue."

The emperor's eyeballs were red after reading the memorial of the Grand Scholars.

If it was said that he didn't believe it at first, but the evidences were clearly there, it was hard for him to believe it or not.

Subsequently, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War also handed over the memorials for the impeachment of Left Prime Minister Wang Anlin, each and every one of which was solid evidence.

But Wang Anlin is also the elder of the three dynasties, the minister of the Fengqi Kingdom, and his disciples are all over the world.

Not to mention the wave of people who were promoted based on personal interests during his reign.

But if he wants to attack him, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the court.

The impact is too great and far-reaching.

It's not that he was forced to do so, and he didn't want to touch Wang Anlin, the prime minister of the left.

Just when he was frowning and pondering, Yan Pei, who had never spoken a word, finally took a step forward and said, "I know your Majesty's embarrassment well, and I also understand your concerns."

"If the pests are not eradicated for a day, the embankment of a thousand miles will collapse in the ant's nest."

"Whether it's the imperial city of Qicheng, Linyuan City, or Liucheng, Fencheng and other places, people's grievances are boiling. If it weren't for King Linyuan sitting in the town, there would have been chaos already."

"Water can carry a boat and overturn it. The words of our ancestors are still in my ears. I hope your Majesty will think twice."

Her words are sincere, and between the lines are for the sake of Fengqi country and the emperor's Jiangshan Sheji.

The most important thing is actually not these, but her sentence: water can carry a boat and also capsize it.

The royal family comes from a noble background and controls the entire Fengqi country, but they also take what they get from the people and use it for the people.

If even the common people betrayed their emperor and their country, then what is the meaning of Fengqi country?

The emperor clenched the few memorials in his hands, and just made up his mind that no matter how high the price was, he would severely punish Zuoxiang Wang Anlin.

The head eunuch carefully came to his side and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has prepared dinner."

Ye Qin, the minister of the Ministry of Punishments, who had ears and eyesight, heard the words of the chief eunuch verbatim.

Her worried black eyebrows were slightly frowned, and as expected, the emperor got up and said: "I already know what happened today, it's getting late, all my loves, go back to rest, and we can discuss anything tomorrow morning." Walk.

Ye Qin, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was heartbroken and said through gritted teeth, "Concubine Wen Gui is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zuo, and also the aunt of the future emperor's eldest son."

Her two sentences, which seemed to have nothing to do with the previous impeachment, really stopped the emperor's steps.

The emperor's face was cloudy and uncertain, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

Seeing the right minister, Yan Pei, couldn't help mentioning Ye Qin, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, to wipe off his cold sweat.

After a long wait like a century, the emperor finally sat down on the dragon chair again powerlessly, "Tell the imperial concubine that I still have political matters to discuss with the adults, so I won't go to have dinner with her."

The chief eunuch left with a low eyebrow.

……

I have to say, ginger is still old and spicy.

While the Right Prime Minister Yan Pei and the other ministers were in the palace, secretly discussing strategies with the emperor, the Left Prime Minister Wang Anlin's counterattack was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

For Wang Anlin, Prime Minister of the Left, the ignorant and pedantic people are just echoes of those in power.

They don't understand anything, they don't know anything, and they will only spread some gossip under the instigation of caring people.

He just told his disciples and party members about framing the right minister Yan Pei.

Then through the word of mouth of some literati and students who were waiting for official positions in Qicheng, in order to please the Shangguan, they quickly reversed the unfavorable situation for themselves.

Only people who are simple in nature are led by the nose without knowing it.

Some of them went forward to argue with them with a straightforward temper, but they were undoubtedly refuted to the point where they were completely refuted. In the end, they were put on a hat of slandering the court and the great Yuan and escorted to the court.

Officials, big and small, who live in the city, don't want to hug the thighs of the two prime ministers.

Once someone slandered him, how could he be lenient, he would be beaten in class and given a warning.

It's fine once or twice, ten times or eight times, how can the people dare to say it, and the influence of public opinion caused before will disappear in smoke.

Zuo Yu and Guang Lu were sitting in the restaurant drinking some wine and listening to those literati students with ulterior motives talking, their lungs were about to explode.

Guanglu, who is not good at talking and has no strength, even smashed the wine glass in his hand, and was about to get up to beat someone.

Zuo Yu grabbed him and said in a low voice, "Don't be impulsive, kid, don't ruin your good deed."

He was panting like a cow, and said unhappily: "Then just watch these shameless villains maliciously slandering adults?"

"You can pretend to turn a deaf ear, but I, Guanglu, can't do that."

Zuo Yu, who was so angry at his words, raised his hand and punched his strong chest, and scolded angrily: "Aren't you stupid, if adults care about these trivial matters, you can't get away with it." position today."

"You just stay here honestly, you are not allowed to go anywhere, do you hear me!"

The young and energetic Guanglu took a jar of wine, slapped the Kaifeng mud and poured it with his head up.

I thought in my heart, if I don’t say it, I don’t say it, I’ll be able to drink the head office!

It was already midnight when Zuo Yu left the wine shop with the drunk Guang Lu, and there were not many people in the usually bustling market.

After struggling to send him home, he continued to do his own business.

In this dead of night, some people in Qicheng are destined to be unable to sleep peacefully.

……

Qinzheng Hall, early dynasty.

The emperor, who hadn't slept all night, was also stained with a touch of blue ash.

Sitting a little tired on the wide dragon chair, he looked at the civil and military officials in the main hall shouting long live to him.

After the mountain call was over, the chief eunuch stepped forward and shouted in a very penetrating voice: "If there is a book to play, there is no book to retreat."

This is equivalent to a signal, reminding him and reminding the right minister Yan Pei and others that their war is about to start.

An admonisher came out, cupped his hands and said, "I want to report to Your Majesty, I have a note to give."

"allow!"

"The minister impeached the Prime Minister of the Left, and allowed his eldest grandson to rob people's daughters in the street. The death of the persecution is not counted, and it is even more blatant to throw the corpse in the street."

"Bastard, Mr. Zuo Xiang has always been law-abiding. How could he allow his family members to commit crimes? It's a piece of nonsense. Someone will drag him down for me, and the stick will be twenty."

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged! Everything I said is true..."

The emperor threw the memorial out angrily, ignoring the cries of the admonisher.

Not long after, the heart-piercing screams of the admonisher came from outside the hall, and all the officials in the hall lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

On the other hand, Zuo Xiang Wang Anlin, but the old god is there, and Zuo Xiang Yan Pei is the head of the hundred officials.

It felt like it was understandable for the emperor to favor him, and if he wanted to impeach him, he had to pass the emperor's test first.

Then another admonisher impeached Wang Anlin, the prime minister of the left, on the spot.

The emperor seemed to be completely enraged, and roared: "Come here, drag him out and chop him up!"

Left Prime Minister Wang Anlin raised his eyelids, "Your Majesty calm down, there is no need to get angry over some trivial matters. As the saying goes, the pure will be turbid and the turbid will be turbid. The old minister is not afraid of the oblique shadow."

"If the witnesses and the material evidence are complete, the veteran is willing to cooperate with the investigation to prove his innocence." What he said was a righteous speech, with a loud voice.

He didn't know that the two admonishers who volunteered to be bait and intensified the conflict were specially arranged by the right minister Yan Pei, in order to let him take the initiative to say what he was willing to cooperate with.

At that time, there will be all the witnesses and material evidence, and if he wants to quibble, he has to go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to speak out.

As long as he enters the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she can guarantee that he will not escape!

Immediately after the impeachment papers of important officials were handed over, the emperor was no longer filled with righteous indignation before, nor did he have the desire to kill him quickly.

Instead, he looked at Zuoxiang Wang Anlin with a serious face, which made him feel such a subtle feeling in his heart.

The emperor let out a long sigh, and said rather helplessly: "Zuo Xiang is the elder of the three dynasties, his loyalty to the Feng Qi Kingdom and the royal family, the world can learn from the sun and the moon."

"But all the things in these memorials are justified and well-founded. Even if I believe in the prime minister in my heart, I still have to give an explanation to the common people all over the world."

"I can only wrong the left minister to cooperate with the criminal department, Dali Siqing, and Yushi Zhongcheng in the joint trial, and I will seek justice for you!" As he said, his eyes were slightly red, and two drops of crocodile tears fell.

It wasn't until this time that Zuoxiang Wang Anlin suddenly realized.

It turned out that he was waiting for himself here!

He was also happy and unafraid, cupped his hands towards the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about the old ministers, the old ministers and the others just need to go."

You really played Wang Anran like a fool!

Yushi Zhongcheng Chen Shuo is his most proud closed disciple, and almost no one in the court knows about it.

This time, I want to let you know what it means to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot.

Zuoxiang Wang Anran thought viciously, but he didn't show it on his face, and left with the two imperial guards.

Watching him leave, Prime Minister Yan Pei and the emperor looked at each other and frowned.

They have made it through the first step, and the next trial is the most difficult, and if they are not careful, they will lose everything.

……

Since the joint interrogation of the three divisions requires a lot of personal and material evidence, once the news reached Linyuan City, Qi Jingxuan organized a team to escort the prisoner out of the city overnight and go to Qicheng for interrogation.

She was worried that something would happen on the way, so she made a special trip to the hospital herself.

Dressed in princely attire, she rode on a tall horse, taking countless knees of the common people who loved her along the way.

After finally rushing to the hospital, he got off his horse and handed over the reins to the accompanying guards.

Sure enough, inside and outside the door of the medical hall, a large group of common people kneeled again.

She could only smile helplessly and said, "My fellow countrymen, please hurry up, there is no need to be polite."

Lu Qing and others heard the sound and went out to take a look, and they saw this scene.

She cupped her fists funny, and continued to swear at her, "It's a shame that King Linyuan is here, and I hope you will forgive me."

Qi Jingxuan glared at her viciously, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's really a dog that can't spit out ivory, hurry up and find a clean room, I have something to tell you."

Seeing the solemn look in her eyes, Lu Qing stopped arguing with her, "Come with me, let's go to the backyard and talk." Then, he winked at Rong Jinsi who came late from the backyard and said: "Si Si , Make a pot of good tea."

Rong Jinsi understood, but smiled slightly at Qi Jingxuan and nodded slightly, turned around and walked away.

When the little bun Qi Shuyun saw his father, he was overjoyed and rushed over to beg for a hug.

But her elder sister grabbed her by the collar and brought it back. She could only turn her head to look at her elder sister pitifully, and then at her father who had already gone away, who had no intention of paying attention to her.

Xiao Baozi felt wronged in his heart, and he was about to cry when his mouth was flattened.

It was still Rong Lan who had quick eyes and quick hands, and somehow found a little rabbit puppet and stuffed it into her arms, "Your Highness, don't be sad, if the prince wants to discuss with your teacher, he will come out to talk to your little Highness after the matter is over." .”

After all, he is already eight years old, and he is no longer a little doll who doesn't understand, but a little bun who is loved by thousands of people.

As time passed, the grown-ups pampered her, willing to let her be pampered as a young princess.

She obediently hugged the little rabbit puppet, her big watery eyes flickered, and she felt that tears would fall at any moment.

But he no longer struggles, and no longer loses his temper.

"Master's sister, you are a good person, Yun'er likes you."

After being given a good person card by Xiao Baozi, Rong Lan felt very flattered, "Rong Lan also likes Your Highness."

Turning her head to look at Bo Junran beside her, she unconsciously fantasized that if she really married him in the future, would they have a cute and smart daughter.

After thinking about it, she blushed again with embarrassment.

Bo Junran looked at her as a little girl, and a doting smile appeared on her already handsome face.

……

Medical hall, backyard, study room.

Rong Jinsi brought the teacup herself, and ordered Xiu'er and Qiao'er to guard one at the entrance of the courtyard and the other in the small courtyard, and let the others enter.

The three of them sat down separately, and Qi Jingxuan took a sip of tea and said apologetically, "Siblings and sisters, I'm really sorry, every time I come to Xiao Lu to ask for something."

"My lord, what are you talking about? You and your husband are very close friends, and it is only natural to help each other." She smiled gently and calmly.

"I said that it's fine for you two to be polite, Lao Qi, if you have anything to say, just say it." Lu Qing was used to being straightforward with her.

The sudden politeness made her feel as if Lao Qi had taken the wrong medicine.

Qi Jingxuan straightened her face, and said seriously: "This time, I would like to ask you to come with me to Qi City."

"Qicheng, the capital of Fengqi Kingdom? Why go there?" She almost blurted out without thinking.
