Chapter 286: Impeachment (1)
When the Celestial Empire was founded, in order to keep the emperor from being closed off and to be able to speak widely, the speech officials were given great rights. They can directly write to www.biquge.info the emperor and impeach hundreds of officials. However, as with every system, the implementation over the years was always somewhat different from what was envisioned at the time. The same is true of the system of speech and officials, although the power is still not small, but it has evolved into a tool of partisanship.
Wang Daxue has controlled the government for many years and won the trust of the first emperor and the emperor, and almost all the officials in the court have become his lips and tongues to attack dissidents.
There is always a mistake in Baimi, and among the current officials, there is still one person who has not been bought by Scholar Wang, and he is Kong Chongzheng's friend Mo Baiyan. This person was born in Tanhua, has an upright temperament, and has always refused to be in the same league as Wang Daxue. And the reason why Scholar Wang still endured him was to keep the faΓ§ade to decorate it, at least let the emperor see that this court was not his hall.
But the development of things is always so unexpected, and this useless decoration has become an important chess piece in Li Yi's plan. Mo Baiyan's usual impeachment of Wang Daxue for forming a party for personal gain is either that the emperor did not see the stone sinking into the sea, or that he saw it, and because there was no hard evidence, it could not attract people's attention. When Kong Chongzheng told Mo Baiyan about Li Yi and his plan, Mo Baiyan agreed to help.
Li Yi handed over the evidence he had collected of the private dealings between the scholars of Wang University and the people of Daxia to Mo Baiyan, and several people carefully considered the sentences and wrote them into a recital, and asked Mo Baiyan to present them to the emperor in the name of the official. This time, because Li Yituo asked his father-in-law Zhang Hou to arrange it through the emperor's close attendant Gao Gonggong, his recital was successfully presented to the emperor.
The emperor was impatiently looking through the twists and turns on the dragon case,
"It's really annoying, how can there be so many things to tell me every day!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, drink tea to moisten your throat first. Gao Gonggong, who was waiting on the side, said cautiously. He has followed the emperor since he was a child, and it can be said that he grew up together, won the trust of the emperor, and was the best at figuring out the emperor's thoughts.
Gonggong Gao was entrusted by Zhang Hou, so he naturally wanted to present Mo Baiyan's fold, but he didn't say it directly, he quietly put Mo Baiyan's fold in a conspicuous position.
Sure enough, when the emperor saw Mo Baiyan's excerpt, he smiled:
"This Mo Baiyan is really stubborn, he just holds on to Scholar Wang, and there is no real evidence, look at what he said this time. β
Gao Gonggong secretly wiped his sweat, his task was completed here, as for whether Zhang Hou and their purpose could be achieved, it was not up to him to control.
Unexpectedly, this time, the emperor's expression became more and more solemn, and later he even became a little angry, and his hand holding the fold was trembling slightly.
Suddenly, he still threw the fold in his hand to the ground, and even the tea bowl on the dragon desk was smashed on the steps and shattered, and the remaining tea in the cup soaked the carpet.
The father-in-law on the side knelt on the ground, trembling, and did not dare to make a sound. After serving the emperor for many years, he knew that there was always nothing wrong with being cautious. Sure enough, the emperor said:
"What does it have to do with you, don't get up and make me a cup of tea again. β
"Yes, slave and maid will go. β
Of course, the matter of serving tea and pouring water does not need to be done by Gao Gonggong himself, someone has already stepped forward to clean up the broken cup on the ground, and there is a palace maid who has changed the new tea, Gao Gonggong took it, bowed his body and respectfully put it on the emperor's case.
"Your Majesty, please use it. β
The emperor didn't pay attention, although he was not a good emperor, but that didn't mean he didn't mind others challenging his imperial power. He can tolerate the fact that scholars Wang controlled the government and formed a party for personal gain, but it was another matter to deal with his sworn enemy Daxia.
What are the schemes of Scholar Wang and the people of Great Xia, which is the question that concerns him the most, and who can help him find out about this matter now?
In the Guogong Mansion, Li Yi waited anxiously in his study, and the fold was delivered, but the result depended on the emperor's thoughts. Saitama noticed that Li Yi was unusual on the first night, and the next morning Li Yi did not stay with his wife as usual, but went straight to the study.
Saitama was worried, and quickly dealt with the affairs in the house, she went directly to Li Yi's study, and naturally no one stopped her. When she pushed open the door, she found Li Yi sitting by the bookcase, not knowing what was written.
Li Yi looked up and just wanted to get angry, but saw Saitama standing there, so he said:
"Why are you here?"
"I'm worried about you, is there something wrong?"
Li Yi put down the pen in his hand and rested it on the pen stand, bypassed the bookcase and walked to Saitama's side,
"Impeached Scholar Wang today?"
"What did the emperor say?" Saitama asked anxiously, widening her eyes. Li Yi shook his head,
"No results yet. β
"What about you?"
"I'm getting ready to enter the palace!"
"Huh?" Saitama exclaimed, Li Yi could clearly notice that Saitama's body was trembling a little, after all, it was a place where people eat people and didn't see blood, and if one sentence was wrong, it was possible that he would never come back.
Li Yi held Saitama's hand,
"Don't worry, even if the emperor recruits me in, I have already prepared a way to deal with it, and there will be no problems. β
Saitama knew that Li Yi was comforting her, if there was no problem, how could he be restless since last night.
Saitama jaw head,
"Even if there is something, we are always together. β
Li Yi looked at his wife's sad appearance and said with a smile:
"Look at you, you really look down on people, I'm so useless, I'm going to hang ...... as soon as I enter the palace."
Saitama suddenly stretched out his hand to cover Li Yi's mouth,
"Don't say it, you know how terrible that place is, Brother Kiritoro......" Saitama couldn't say any more, because she was really afraid of that place because of her son's affairs.
Li Yi hugged Saitama in his arms,
"Definitely not, don't be cranky!"
"Say hello to the noble concubine, if you ...... in case"
"Don't think nonsense!" Li Yi interrupted Saitama,
"You're going to have a little faith in me, huh?"
Saitama looked at the identification in Li Yi's eyes, nodded, and buried his head in Li Yi's arms, greedy for this warm and reassuring breath.
But the peace was not long broken, and someone outside was heard shouting:
"Qiqi Shizi, someone has come to the palace, saying that the emperor will enter the palace to meet him immediately!"
When Li Yi and Saiyu heard this, their bodies were shocked, but both of them quickly calmed down, and Saitama served Li Yi to change into the clothes he wore when he entered the palace and pulled his hair back into a bun. Packing up, Li Yi turned around when he was about to walk out of the door and held Saitama's shoulders,
"Don't worry!"
"I'll wait for you. Saitama smiled at Li Yi.
