Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Yanfu Temple in the east of the city is an ancient temple with a long history. It is very popular and famous because of the exhibition of blood scriptures.

On this day, the gate of Yanfu Temple was closed early in the morning, and the mountain road was swept away. It did not receive ordinary pilgrims and tourists, and concentrated on welcoming the imperial concubine and empress.

At the end of the hour, the phoenix drove past the mountain gate, and the imperial concubine Wei took a shoulder car carried by six people, climbed up the steps and entered the main hall of the temple, and just got off the ground with the support of the maids.

The abbot of Yanfu Temple led the monks to welcome them in person.After Concubine Wei offered incense and prayed in the Daxiong Hall, a group of monks sat in the hall and prayed for her mother.

The chanting time was quite long, so naturally the imperial concubine could not be kept waiting, so the host invited her into a beautifully furnished quiet room to rest for a while, and after the chanting was over, the prayer ceremony was held before inviting her to the front hall.

After the monk left, Concubine Wei winked at Ruan Hongjiao who was accompanying her.

Ruan Hongjiao understood, sent guards and maids to block the passages in all directions, forbidding anyone to approach, and she and her personal maid stood guard at the door of the quiet room.

Concubine Wei nodded in satisfaction, pushed the door open and entered, and slammed the latch behind her back.

She caressed her temples, and inspected her clothes and skirts, feeling a sense of uneasiness in her heart, just like the day she first entered the palace to meet the emperor.

Turning the screen, through the bead curtain, she saw the man in white who was meditating at the banquet.The man has a piano in front of his face and incense on his side, and the misty Lingshan waterfall is painted on the paper behind the window, which makes him seem different from ordinary people.

Concubine Wei looked at it for a while, before she came back to her senses, she bit her lip and called, "Sir."

Mr. He opened his eyes and smiled at her: "Your Majesty is well."

Ruan Hongjiao, who was guarding the door, pondered for a moment, beckoned the maidservant over, and whispered in her ear, "Go and pass a message to Master Su's servant for me, just say...'Fenghe Huidong Temple'. Be natural when you go out , don't be eye-catching."

The maidservant nodded, and after she remembered it silently, she said worriedly: "Miss, be careful by yourself, maidservant will return as soon as you go." Then she turned and left.

Ruan Hongjiao didn't feel much at first, but she was a little nervous after being so cared by the maidservant.She thought to herself: I have done everything, so I just go to the end and find a chance to listen to what they have to say.

She walked around the quiet room and saw that the door was closed impeccably, and she stuck it outside the window paper to listen. She couldn't hear the movement inside, so she had to frown and find another way.

At the court meeting of Fengtianmen, it really only took Su Yan two quarters of an hour to finish the last two points of his impeachment.

"...His Majesty Fuwang listened to the words of the ministers, investigated the traitors of the Wei family, and wiped out the thieves for the world. The Wei family has been in the country for a long time, and its power is intricately intertwined and implicated in a wide range. I request that a special investigation team be established to investigate strictly, and the principal culprit should be punished with a serious crime." With the rectification of the national law, from the violation of the edict to the removal of official status, the whole country will be included. Once the internal thieves are gone, the government will be cleared!" Su Yan bowed to the throne.

Su Yan couldn't kneel down, and the divine beast Xie Zhi embroidered on the blue court clothes stared angrily.Emperor Jinglong watched his back silently.

There was a moment of silence in the arena, and the officials seemed to be watching and waiting, and it seemed that a storm was brewing to sweep across the government and the opposition.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Zuo Guangbi, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, stood up, "The crimes against the Wei family impeached by Su Shaoqing have an unreliable source!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at him in surprise.

Zuo Guangbi continued: "In the public trial held by Su Shaoqing before, everyone should know that the most important witness was Feng Anhou's brother-in-law Wan Xin. This person not only exposed the conspiracy of the Vacuum Sect, but also the Wei family. Provided Su Shaoqing with a large amount of testimony and information.

"Master Su, am I right?"

Su Yan stood up and said calmly, "Not bad."

Zuo Guangbi sneered slightly, and raised his voice: "Everyone knows that Wan Xin has gone crazy!"

"crazy?"

"True or false, how can you be crazy?"

Censor Chuqiu immediately stepped forward: "On the day of the public trial, you and I were on the court together. That Wan Xin was sane and articulate, and he was not a lunatic. Why did Master Zuo say such a thing!"

Zuo Guangbi looked at his old friend.If we don't agree with each other, we will be political enemies from now on—he sighed regretfully in his heart.

"Wan Xin has been imprisoned in the Imperial Prison since he was secretly arrested by Beizhen Fusi. I went to arrest him with the documents from the Ministry of Punishment, but Beizhen Fusi made many excuses and refused to release him. Whose fault is this? Instinct, shouldn’t I need to say more?”

Zuo Guangbi turned to look at Su Yan: "This Wanxin is for you to pinch and round. Naturally, there is any confession you want. There are many confessions in Beizhen Fusi. Crazy is also reasonable.

"Lord Su, if I am lying, please release Wan Xin and let the gentlemen see with their own eyes to see whether he is crazy or not!"

Su Yan's face sank like water.

Wan Xin is indeed crazy, but after submitting the testimony, the madness is in the setup of the Wei family and Mr. He.Ever since he chose the latter between Ruan Hongjiao's information and her life, he knew that this moment was bound to come.

Zuo Guangbi forced him to ask: "Master Su, why didn't he answer? Is he acquiescing that what I said is true?"

"...I am ashamed of Wan Xin." Su Yan said in a deep voice.

The ministers started chattering immediately, and Su Yan raised his voice: "I promised Wan Xin to ensure his personal safety, and I also said that prison is the safest place for him now. In order to let him I was able to come out alive to testify, and I didn't let the Ministry of Criminal Justice take him away, fearing that he would encounter assassination in the middle of the transfer. But Bai Mi finally made a mistake, and the other party didn't choose to kill people to silence him, but used another more insidious trick.

"Wan Xin was drugged mad after she provided her confession. This was a mistake made by the task force. As the team leader, I should be responsible for it.

"But the evidence he provided is valid, because these are not isolated evidence, and there are many other evidence and victims that can verify and complement each other. This is called a 'chain of evidence', just like iron chains. One of the rings is flawed, and the other rings are totally negated.

"In addition, who instigated the person who made Wanxin crazy and how he sneaked into the prison. I will continue to investigate whether there is any internal response in the North Town Fusi, and give Wanxin justice!"

chain of evidence?The judges present pondered over this new term and found it quite interesting, so they couldn't help nodding their heads slightly.

Indeed, no evidence stands alone.Wan Xin's confession is important evidence, but not the only evidence.

But Zuo Guangbi still insisted on this point: "The source of the evidence is unknown, and the most important witness is also insane. In my opinion, Su Shaoqing's impeachment of the two princes of the Wei family is suspected of using the case , His words are not enough to win the trust, I hope His Majesty will see clearly!"

"Honorable ministers should not be insulted and framed by others, I hope His Majesty will see clearly!" Many officials knelt down to support the Wei family.

"Your Majesty, Wei's evil deeds are obvious to all. Please punish the country's thieves and rectify the discipline!" Other officials also kowtowed to petition.

Emperor Jing Long spoke slowly: "This matter... What do you think about it?"

Chief Assistant Li Chengfeng was about to speak, but his throat was sore and itchy, and he coughed again while covering his handkerchief.

Jiao Yang, the second assistant, said first: "This matter is too important to make a hasty decision. Your Majesty might as well send someone to investigate separately."

Emperor Jinglong said, "What does Jiao Cifu mean, that we also set up a special investigation?"

When Jiao Yang heard this, he was worried that Su Twelve would be the team leader again, so he hurriedly added: "Su Shaoqing and Wei Hou have always had personal grievances, and I'm afraid they can't stand up for the public good, so we should avoid suspicion."

Emperor Jing Long pondered for a moment, and just about to speak, Lan Xi received a message from the servant, and moved to the side of the throne in small steps, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here to invite you."

"You ask someone to tell you that after the next court, I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning." The emperor replied.

Lan Xi said in embarrassment: "The Empress Dowager has an emergency attack, please the emperor... don't delay for a moment, and go there immediately."

Emperor Jinglong stopped talking.Lan Xi bowed and lowered her head, not daring to look at the emperor's face, but could only hear from the deepening and heavy breathing that Sacred Heart didn't hesitate.

After a brief silence, the emperor stood up and said, "—— Sanchao!"

This impeachment, which spanned two days, involved a large number of people, and was quite powerful, both sides insisted on their own words and attacked each other. In the end, the emperor announced his withdrawal from the court without any statement, which seemed to be anticlimactic.

Su Yan passed the Jinshui Bridge among the people who were retreating from the imperial court, and speculated as he walked: What did Lan Xi report to the emperor, which made today's court meeting come to an abrupt end?

King Yu strode up from behind, and whispered in his ear: "The queen mother called urgently, and I will also go to the Compassionate Palace to visit. After getting on the carriage, you can go straight home and don't turn around. There is someone in your house. The bodyguards I left behind are also surrounded by Jinyiwei secretly sent by the emperor, so it is safer."

Su Yan nodded, sincerely thank you.

King Yu was worried, and warned: "After today, you have to be extra careful. Beasts are the most brutal when they are in danger and counterattack."

Su Yan nodded again, and said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry, I cherish my life very much, so I must act cautiously."

King Yu couldn't help raising his hand, wanting to touch his cheek, but he held back and retracted halfway.

"I'm leaving—" King Yu finished speaking, turned around against the flow of people, and walked towards the majestic deep palace hall while the courtiers avoided sideways.

His back is majestic and proud, yet lonely, like a soldier with his armor unarmored, a conscript in a lonely brigade.Su Yan stared blankly for a moment, then felt dazed in shock, quickly looked away, and returned to his carriage with a mixed heart.

Today, it was Su Xiaojing who drove him to court, he was more lively and childish than Su Xiaobei, and teased upon seeing this: "My lord, why are you out of your mind? Could it be that you lost the battle of words?"

Su Yan sighed softly: "There are too many variables, and it's hard to predict who will win or lose."

Su Xiaojing raised his whip to urge the horse, and said briskly: "My lord has the ability and good luck, he can always save the day, and this time is no exception."

"That's why you trust me, my lord?"

"Of course. Instead of worrying about the adults losing, why don't you think more about what to eat tonight. Brother Xiao Bei likes steamed buns a lot recently, and he's about to eat me as a bun. How about we have grilled lamb chops tonight... ..." The young man's clear and cheerful voice faded away with the sound of horseshoes and wheels.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Su Xiaobei was moved by the sound, came out from the gatehouse, and said, "My lord, I have something to do, it seems quite urgent."

"what's up?"

"The buns are steamed?"

Su Yan and Su Xiaojing asked at the same time.

"Go, go to the kitchen to get the buns and eat them yourself, don't hinder me from discussing business with the adults." Su Xiaobei drove Su Xiaojing away.

He closed the door tightly first, then pulled Su Yan into the hall, and then said: "Ruan Xingshou's personal maid, the one who insisted on exchanging soybean paste with me before, came to send a message again this morning. Because the lord is not here, we Arrogant took the note and waited for the adults to come back."

Su Yan said: "Last time I told Sister Ruan to be careful and stop spreading news secretly, why didn't she listen."

Su Xiaobei handed him the note: "Ruan Xingshou has Ruan Xingshou's own thoughts, even adults can't control it."

Su Yan took the note and opened it to read. There were only five words on it: Fenghe Huidong Temple.

After thinking for a while, he frowned and said, "Concubine Wei is so courageous! To do such a ridiculous thing, is she deceived by lard?"

Su Xiaobei asked: "Wouldn't your lord not be happy to see Mrs. Wei doing stupid and absurd things? Isn't it our good opportunity for the enemy to make a foolish move?"

Su Yan sighed: "If it doesn't involve the emperor's face, I'm naturally happy to see it."

Su Xiaobei didn't quite understand, and asked again: "Then shall we seize this opportunity?"

"Of course we can't miss the opportunity, but we have to find a more suitable entry point. Let me think about it..."
