Zhuo Qihua

Wang Xianming was dumbfounded, isn't everyone impeaching the Zhuo family?Guan Shangshu What does this mean?After Guan Minghui kowtowed, Huang Guixie's two elder brothers came out, knelt down and cried.

"Your Majesty! I am not talented! I ask Your Majesty to demote my official position!"

Mingyu's father came out, crying, and asked His Majesty to dismiss him.His son is also favored by the emperor.His reputation as an official is also unfair and unsatisfactory!

Another person came out: "The minister is dead! Your Majesty, please allow the minister to return to his hometown!"

When Wang Xianming saw this person, he staggered and almost lost his footing.This person's name is Wan Baoshan, and he is a deputy official of Dali Temple, but he is an official of the sixth rank.In his capacity, he can only see the emperor during such a big court meeting, and he is not qualified to go to Fengtian Hall to discuss matters.But please look at this person's last name, "Wan"!

Wan Baoshan, the nephew of Empress Dowager Wan!The cousin of Emperor Yong'an!He is the eldest son of the Empress Dowager's youngest brother. He was transferred from Shuzhong to Beijing by Emperor Yong'an at the beginning of the year.Wan Baoshan won the first place in the second-class imperial examination, so according to the rules, he should be admitted to the Imperial Academy.But because he was the empress dowager's nephew, Emperor Yong'an did not keep him in the capital out of various considerations. Later, the officials arranged him to be a magistrate in a county in central Shu.This is done for three years.Wan Baoshan had a good record as a county magistrate in central Sichuan. After Emperor Yong'an decided to use the Wan family, Wanbaoshan was the first thing that came to mind.But before Wan Baoshan entered the capital, Emperor Yong'an also sent someone to tell him that he would not see the queen mother after he entered the capital, and he should not think about taking advantage of the status of the queen mother to make his way to the top.

Wanbaoshan is the hope of Wanjia.The Wan family, which was suppressed by Emperor Mingzong, now has the opportunity to let the children of the family go to Beijing to become officials. Wan Baoshan shoulders a heavy responsibility.Wan Baoshan's entry into Beijing was not without opposition from officials, but Yong'an Dili resisted all opinions, and also made it clear that what he valued was Wan Baoshan's ability, not his relationship with the Queen Mother.In addition, after Wan Baoshan entered Beijing, Emperor Yong'an did not take special care of him, and the courtiers acquiesced in this.But in any case, the blood connection between Wan Baoshan and the Queen Mother cannot be broken.

Today, Wan Baoshan, who shoulders the hope of Wanjia, has asked to become an official, which is self-evident.He is the empress dowager's nephew, although the empress dowager did not take care of him, and even he has never met his aunt since he was born, but according to Wang Xianming's intention, he can be directly transferred from Shuzhong to be an official in Beijing, which is not justified. Shun!At first, Wan Baoshan might not understand why King Wu Shao and King Xianyi impeached Zhuo's family suddenly, not to mention the Manchu Dynasty, even the whole capital, who doesn't know that His Majesty loves Xiangfu Palace today.But after Guan Minghui knelt down, Wan Baoshan understood the deep meaning of this, so he knelt down.

When Wan Baoshan knelt down, Wang Xianming panicked: "Your Majesty! I have no such intentions! I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.Emperor Yong'an spoke with obvious dragon anger: "Speak up, please! Shut up, please! I'm here to ask you! Since entering the palace, what benefits has Shunxi done for the Zhuo family?! Let you open your mouth and slander him here!"

Wang Xianming was frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty! I have absolutely no intention of defaming you, I just..."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear your excuses!"

Lin Xieshan, the Duke of the Sui Dynasty who returned to Beijing with Emperor Yong'an, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Zhuo Yizhi and Zhuo Wentai condoned their family members to commit crimes and slander their reputation. They really deserve death! Slandering Shunji and interfering in the affairs of His Majesty's harem are even more sinful! These three people should be severely punished!"

No one expected that Lin Xieshan would wade into this "muddy water".Zhuo Yizhi, Zhuo Wentai and Wang Xianming shouted for injustice.Mi Wanzhong came out and said: "Your Majesty, Zhuo Yizhi and Zhuo Wentai's crimes are unforgivable. As a member of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Xianming cannot let them do evil deeds. It's just that the Duke said that Wang Xianming wantonly slandered Shunyu. But it is serious. Lai Congjin's words like that will inevitably make people think of Chu Chu. The ministers naturally understand that although Chu Chu is deeply loved by His Majesty, he has never given any personal benefits to the Zhuo family. Wang Xianming's words are just inappropriate , but I believe that he has absolutely no intention of being disrespectful to you, so I ask His Majesty to forgive him this time."

The officials of the Ministry of Officials came forward, the officials of the Ministry of Officials looked at me and I looked at you, one by one came out to intercede for Wang Xianming.Lin Xieshan said: "Mi Shangshu's words are wrong. Whether it is the two princes or the censor of Chen Du, they only refer to the evil between Zhuo Yizhi and Zhuo Wentai. But what Wang Xianming means is that the two of them condoned their family members to do evil. Because His Majesty loves and favors you. Isn’t this a slander? What is it?! Mi Shangshu can expose a word of inappropriateness?”

King Wu Shao: "Mi Shangshu, Wang Xianming's slander of 俍俍 can be heard clearly by me. Do you want me to say it word by word and let everyone comment together?!"

King Xianyi: "Mi Shangshu, as the head of the official department, how can you protect your subordinates like this! You officials of the official department protect each other and slander you, what is your intention!"

Mi Wanzhong didn't expect that he was just pleading for his subordinates, but he was attacked by Sui Guogong and two princes.Mi Wanzhong knelt down: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of slandering you! I am the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and I am loyal to His Majesty. Wang Xianming made inappropriate words. As the leader, I have the responsibility for improper discipline. Please His Majesty punishes!"

Wang Xianming kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty! I was confused for a while, and my words were unrestrained! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

pardon?Emperor Yong'an slapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his palm, and angrily scolded: "What a fool for a moment, what an outspoken man! As an official in the Ministry of Officials, you not only point fingers at my harem, but also dare to slander my beloved servant! It's a crime! Forgive me!"

"Your Majesty!" Wang Xianming's face was pale.

"Your Majesty, calm down! Wang Xianming was confused for a moment, please forgive him this time for the sake of his loyalty!"

The officials of the Ministry of Officials begged for mercy, but Lin Xieshan didn't give up: "A single sentence of confusion can erase his slander against Zuo? Zuo is His Majesty's servant, the noble lord of the harem! How can your majesty allow you to be contemptuous!" How can your lord allow you to blaspheme him!"

King Wu Shao: "As a member of the royal family, I will defend the honor of the royal family with my death! To slander the royal family is to slander the royal family, and you must not be lightly forgiven!"

King Xianyi: "Never forgive lightly!"

Chen Changgeng: "Wang Xianming insulted your lord, but the officials covered it up with a stupid sentence. The minister impeached Mi Wanzhong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He is not strict in his rule, disloyal to His Majesty, and disrespectful to the royal family!"

Shi Yu went out, his eyes were red, and he beat his chest and cried, "Your Majesty... During the period when you were on the expedition with your majesty, I heard that every time you go out to buy herbs, you have to pay money, or even pay more. I heard someone slander you so much. I am so sad...Your Majesty, I am so dedicated to serving the people that I will be slandered by others, such a person is like a pig and a dog!"

Shi Yu kept silent. Mi Wanzhong thought he was going to protect himself wisely, but he didn't expect Shi Yu's knife to stab so hard.Qin Su followed Shi Yu out of the line: "Your Majesty, I have a stupid mouth and can't say anything righteous. I only know that you have never made things difficult for anyone during the journey with Your Majesty, and you are deeply loved by King Qin and King Qi. Your Highness's respect. People who slander you are worse than pigs and dogs!"

A fire burned to Mi Wanzhong's body.

Xiangfu Palace, Zhuo Ji put down the pen in his hand, helplessly: "Brother Yue, is there something on your mind?"

Mingyu also knew that there was something wrong with his state today, so he put down his pen, and couldn't help but say, "Shunyu, there is something I don't want to talk to you about, I know you don't care, but I can't bear it in my heart. "

Zhuo Ji blinked: "What happened?"

Mingyu: "You have always kept your ears out of the window, and you have never participated in the troubles in the palace. But you also said that you must be on guard against others. I don't know how many people in this Yang Palace are thinking of ways to get rid of it. You can replace it with you. Yesterday, Liu Xizhu from the Imperial Concubine's Palace presented to His Majesty an embroidery painting that His Majesty personally conscripted. He said that it took a lot of effort and his fingers were swollen. Your Majesty was very happy at that time, and rewarded him He bought a lot of things from him, and even ordered his embroidery paintings to be hung in Wensi Pavilion.

This Liu Xizhu is the grandson of Liu Tong, Marquis of Ding'an, and his status and background are already extraordinary.I believe that as long as he is pregnant with a dragon heir, His Majesty will definitely make him the lord of the first palace.It doesn't matter if a newcomer bestows a seal, isn't Chunyi and Zhaoyi both mothers and children are more expensive, but this Liu Xizhu is scheming.Chun Ni fed the child too much, and he has nothing to do with him.Once such a person is favored by His Majesty, he will be a threat to you! "

Zhuo Ji smiled faintly, and said, "That's it. I see. Brother Yue, let's hurry up, I have to go to work after the arrangement in the Lenggong is completed."

Mingyu held Zhuo Ji's hand, and said earnestly and a little harshly: "Shunxi, some people, you must not underestimate them. I don't care who is favored in this palace, but I will never allow anyone to threaten you!"

Zhuo Ji held Mingyu's hand instead: "I know Brother Yue will be my backer. I will be careful."

Zhuo Ji said that he would be careful, and Ming Xun felt a little relieved, but in his heart he was still going to do something to wake Liu Xizhu up.Afterwards, Mingyu calmed down to study with Zhuo Ji seriously, and after the sun went down, Mingyu left.Mingyu had just left, when Wang Bao came in and said in a low voice, "Master, something happened to the Zhuo family."

Zhuo Ji was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes: "What's the matter?"

Wang Bao: "Zhuo Wentai's nephew Lai Congjin hurt someone under the banner of 俍俍, Zhuo Yizhi and Zhuo Wentai were impeached. His Majesty Long Yan was furious, dismissed Zhuo Yizhi and Zhuo Wentai from their official positions, and ordered Lai Congjin to be beaten. He went to heaven and said he would be severely punished."

"……Oh, got it."

Wang Bao: "Cui, I know that you don't like the Zhuo family, but your Majesty's actions will inevitably make people think that you have fallen out of favor."

Zhuo Ji said with a cold expression: "I don't think it will affect me. People have to be responsible for their actions. If they can't control their families and wipe their butts clean, don't blame your majesty for not remembering the past. I'm hungry."

"...The servants will ask them to serve the dishes."

Wang Bao was also a little worried about His Majesty's behavior towards Zhuo's family.After all, His Majesty didn't say a word about what he did in Beigu, let alone reward him at all.

After Wang Bao left, Zhuo Ji stretched his waist, not caring about the life and death of Zhuo's family at all.As long as the Zhuo family has some skills, it is not like this.

In the Hall of Xingxing, Hubu Shangshu Nianqing was once again left alone.Emperor Yong'an threw him a blank sheet of writing on it, and asked him to copy it by hand, and ordered him to study and ponder while copying.This morning's Dachaohui lost his temper a lot, and Emperor Yong'an was in a bad mood all day.After leaving the Xing Xing Hall, Emperor Yong'an went back to his bedroom to change clothes, Zhang Xian whispered, "Long live, Liu Yaren's embroidered painting..."

Emperor Yong'an shot out the ice blade coldly: "Did you hang up?"

Zhang Xian shook his head desperately: "I don't know where to hang it properly."

Emperor Yong'an: "If you dare to hang up, I will chop off your head!"

Zhang Xian flinched, Emperor Yong'an raised his hand, and Zhang Xian immediately undressed him.Emperor Yong'an still said with a bit of anger: "I'm just talking, if you really hang it up for me, let Shunxi see it, and ask, how do you tell me to answer him?"

Zhang Xian immediately said: "The maidservant was afraid that I would be unhappy, so I didn't dare to hang up."

Emperor Yong'an was actually not sure if Zhuo Ji would be unhappy, but he had no intention of hanging the painting from the beginning.Zhang Xian went on to say: "Long live, I will definitely know about this matter. Although you are generous, but in front of so many people, you have said that you will hang that embroidered painting in Wensi Pavilion... The paintings are also hung in Wensi Pavilion."

Emperor Yong'an said with a guilty conscience: "I will explain to him. I don't really like Liu Xizhu." Waving his hand, Emperor Yong'an said: "I'm going to Xiangfu Palace tonight, you go and tell your concubine, I'll go to his place tomorrow night."

"Yes."

Not only was De Guixie not annoyed at His Majesty's breaking his promise, but he thought His Majesty should go.What happened in the former dynasty today, if His Majesty does not go to Xiangfu Palace (to appease) today, there may be some rumors in the harem.

Emperor Yong'an removed the Zhuo family's father and son from their official positions in the previous dynasty, and also put Lai Congjin in prison.For this reason, Wang Xianming, a doctor in the Ministry of officials, was dismissed and imprisoned, and ordered the Secretary to investigate Wang Xianming's crime of disrespecting the royal family.However, Mi Wanzhong, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, was not strict in his rule and was fined for three years. The officials who pleaded for Wang Xianming were also fined for one to three years.In this incident, it can be said that a large number of (senior) officials headed by Sui Guogong, Wu Shaowang, and Chen Changgeng all stood on the side of the emperor (Shun 俍俍). a major reason.

Even Mi Wanzhong didn't expect that Sui Guogong would speak for Shunji, and it seemed that Sui Guogong was very respectful to Shunji.Mi Wanzhong made a serious error of judgment this time.Those who misjudged or followed Shangfeng to impeach the Zhuo family and his son, but actually expressed their dissatisfaction with Shunxi, did not understand why His Majesty still favored Shunxi after making moves against the Zhuo family and his son.If they knew His Majesty's thoughts were like this, they wouldn't have troubled Shun Yu even if they had given them ten guts.

The reason why Emperor Yong'an was angry was not because someone was dissatisfied with Zhuo Ji, and it was not the first day that this happened.What displeases him is that Mi Wanzhong, who is the head of the bureaucracy, always makes troubles for Zhuo Ji indistinctly.Mi Wanzhong was Zhan Shi of Emperor Shenzong's East Palace, and he was very trusted by Emperor Shenzong.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is usually held by the emperor's confidant, and only someone who is deeply trusted by the emperor can take this position. After all, this position is related to the selection of officials in the entire court.Because of his father, Emperor Yong'an also trusted Mi Wanzhong very much, but after Shunxi appeared, Mi Wanzhong always confronted Emperor Yong'an. This time Wang Xianming alluded to Zhuo Ji, obviously because of Mi Wanzhong. Zhong's instigation, otherwise, as a Langzhong of the official department, why would he run on the noble lord of the harem by talking inside and outside.

The position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials is too important, Mi Wanzhong's attitude or his selfishness made Emperor Yong'an very disappointed and very angry.But it is impossible for Emperor Yong'an to dismiss Mi Wanzhong because of this incident.Once he did this, the outside world didn't know how to attack Zhuo Ji, and even pour sewage on him, the emperor.
