Chapter 772: Downfall

"Well said!" Xu Mingda looked at Qiao Mo's gaze and did not hide his admiration.

In the end, it is his grandson-in-law, who is so conscious of officialdom at a young age, not greedy for merit, and is indeed a malleable talent, and it will definitely be a great help to the Xu family in the future.

As for the rumors that Qiao Mo has a close relationship with the champion Mrs. Hou, it is just foolish people's self-amusement, and it would be a fool for a person of his status to believe in those and lose such a good son-in-law.

Xu Mingda was happy in his heart, and patiently explained the reason why he couldn't follow the trend to impeach Lan Songquan, and everyone suddenly realized that they praised Qiao Molai.

As Xu Cifu's cronies, the people present are not stupid, Xu Cifu treats Qiao Mo as his own family, and it seems that it won't be long before he can drink a glass of happy wine.

The next day, Emperor Ming Kangdi really summoned the important ministers of the court in the imperial study, and after listening to Chi Can's detailed count of the ten major crimes of the Lan family and his son, he slowly glanced at the ministers, and was waiting for someone to follow, so as to take the opportunity to punish the Lan family and his son, but he didn't expect several ministers to stand up one after another, all of whom interceded for the Lan Shan father and son.

The more Ming Kangdi listened, the more gloomy his face became.

What pillar of the country can't be separated from, this big beam can't leave him as the son of heaven, can't he leave Lanshan father and son?

Lan Shan listened to everyone's pleas, but he was already sweating like rain, and he secretly said that it was not good.

Lan Songquan was a little proud.

Their father and son have worked hard for the emperor for so many years, and there should be hard work without merit, and these people are still acquaintances.

"That's enough!" Hearing Xu Mingda open his mouth to intercede for Lanshan's father and son, Emperor Ming Kang couldn't bear it anymore, and said sharply, "Give me to push this rebel who plotted to kill the prince, bribe and adulterous, and brutalize the loyal and good people out of the noon gate and behead him!"

The ministers were stunned when they heard this.

Isn't it a bit hasty for the emperor to do this?

Lan Shan had already collapsed to the ground, and begged with tears: "Your Majesty, the old minister is such a son, please ask the emperor to spare the dog a cheap life for the sake of the old minister who has no days to live, and the old minister will kowtow to you." ”

Emperor Ming Kangdi looked at Lan Shan, who was kowtowing, and hesitated.

Xu Mingda glanced at him, and several people immediately knelt down to intercede for Lan Songquan.

"Your Majesty, that bandit must have framed Lan Shilang, Lan Shilang has been dedicated to the country and the people for many years, and the ministers and others have seen it in their eyes, and they also ask the emperor to learn from it. ”

"Please Emperor Mingjian!"

Emperor Ming Kang's pity for Lanshan immediately vanished.

For the country and the people? This world is not surnamed Lan, what do the Lan family need to do for the country and the people?

Didn't you have been in charge of his house for a long time, and you really thought that you were the master of the beam?

Now it seems that the evil star must be the Lan family's father and son, as the Son of Heaven, it is still difficult for him to want a person's head, these bastards have all forgotten their duty as a courtier, right?

"Take it down!" said Ming Kangdi with a blank face.

"Your Majesty, Your Majestyβ€”" Lan Shan shouted hoarsely.

Emperor Ming Kangdi was unmoved, and watched coldly as Lan Songquan was dragged down.

Only then did Lan Songquan realize that the emperor was really here, and shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't kill me, you can't kill me, why kill me without evidence-"

Ming Kandi sneered.

He kills partially, he is the emperor, he has the final say.

Back then, the whole family of the Marquis of Zhenyuan was just a letter written by King Su to the Marquis of Zhenyuan presented by Lanshan, and now there are bandits as witnesses, isn't it evidence?

Gradually, he couldn't hear Lan Songquan's shout, and Ming Kangdi glanced at Lan Shan, who was paralyzed on the ground.

It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and since it has already begun, let's just get rid of the evil star together.

"Wei Wuxie, pass on my will, Lan Songquan's murder of the prince is a heinous crime, it should have been punished by the nine clans, Nian has been conscientious for many years in his father Lanshan, and he is already old, and now he has taken away the position of first assistant, confiscated the family property, and returned to his hometown. ”

Well, he also heard his nephew Chi Can mention that the Lan family's treasury is fuller than the national treasury, so it's not better than that, right?

"Your Majestyβ€”" Lan Shan's eyelids rolled and he fainted.

Until Lanshan was also dragged down, the ministers did not come to their senses.

They planned for countless days and nights, looking forward to this day in the hope of the stars and the moon, in addition to the traitorous minister Lanshan father and son, and the court was bright and clear, but they didn't expect the victory to come so suddenly.

The emperor was so sloppy, which always made them a little apprehensive.

Emperor Ming Kangdi teased his eyelids: "Don't plead?"

The ministers knelt on the ground and did not dare to say a word.

"When should I intercede and when I should not, do I need to teach you?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Ming Kangdi raised the corners of his mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that Lanshan and his son were evil stars who were attacking him, he would have complied with these old bastards.

He is the emperor, and only others have his part.

Butβ€”

Emperor Ming Kangdi glanced at Xu Mingda, the second assistant.

Lanshan is already old and deaf, and it is time to replace the first assistant.

It's just a day's work, and the ending of the Lan family is tantamount to a thunderbolt exploding on the flat ground of the capital, from hundreds of officials and nobles to ordinary people, all of whom were shocked by this big news.

Then, all the large and small liquor shops in Beijing were snatched up, I don't know how many drunks sang loudly that day, the sound of firecrackers outside has not stopped, and on the second day, the ground is covered with a thick layer of red skin, and many families kill chickens and sheep, as festive as the New Year.

Among the people who drink, the Qiao Zhao brothers and sisters are naturally indispensable.

"Big brother, I salute you with this cup, and I finally got what I wanted. ”

Qiao Mo picked up the wine glass and touched Qiao Zhao's glass, and said softly: "I also wish my sister what she wants." ”

The brother and sister both drank it all, and the corners of their eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

Qiao Mo put down the wine glass and sighed: "My sister has worked hard in the past two years, and I can't do without my sister's efforts today." ”

The water in Qiao Zhao's eyes flashed, and he chuckled: "What did the eldest brother say about this? These are what we should do." ”

"Okay, don't talk about that. Qiao Mo filled the wine glasses of the two again, stood up and walked into the courtyard, bowed deeply to the south, spilled the wine in the cup on the ground, and said softly, "Respect for your parents and family in the spirit of heaven." ”

Qiao Zhao raised the wine above his head and bowed to Yingying, and then said, "Respect your parents and family in the spirit of heaven." ”

brought down the two mountains of Lanshan father and son, and they had the face to say to their parents that they had avenged them.

"Big brother, Sister Li, what are you doing?"

Qiao Mo turned his head and beckoned to Qiao Wan gently: "Come late, toast to my father and mother." ”

Qiao Wan walked over, took the wine glass handed over by his brother, and suddenly lost his curiosity, his little face was full of solemnity, and he said crisply: "Wan Wan respects my parents and family in the spirit of heaven." ”

Qiao Zhao and Qiao Mo glanced at each other, and the corners of their eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Finally waited for this day, how lucky it was that the three of them could still be together.

Returning the wine glass to Qiao Mo, Qiao Wan asked curiously, "Big brother, why did Sister Li also toast just now?"

Qiao Mo smiled softly and rubbed Qiao Wan's head: "Sister Li respects your brother-in-law." ”

"Ugh. Qiao Wan had no doubts at this time, and said with anticipation, "I don't know when my brother-in-law will come back." ”
