Zhang Fuhai looked at the emperor and saw that the emperor nodded, so he went to pick up the fold in Dong Wende's hand.

Dong Wende's voice was strong: "The minister impeached the officials who sued the ministers for false accusations, and the ministers asked them to come up with substantial and powerful evidence to prove that the ministers had misappropriated the city protection food without permission. If the officials of the imperial court arbitrarily exclude dissidents because of a few anonymous letters and a few careful instigations, what kind of court will the imperial court become in the past? ”

Wei Xiang's legs began to tremble at this moment, and Dong Wende's words were what he was afraid of. Such as a few anonymous letters, such as a few officials who gave false testimony. So tempting to say that the Ministry of Officials buys and sells officials, does the court thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Officials? If someone says that the Criminal Department accepts bribes and sets up a private court, will the imperial court thoroughly investigate the Criminal Department? If this is the case, the country will not be a country.

The emperor's face was extremely ugly, and he took the case, "The officials who impeached Dong Qing have entered the palace, and I want to personally ask them where the evidence is?" Are you really fooling me as a faint king? ”

King Qing knelt down and said: "Brother Huang is angry, please Brother Huang take the dragon body as the priority!" "This time, the matter is by no means something that can be solved by delegating a Dong Wende.

The emperor went to the Qianqing Palace with an angry face, and when he left, he didn't forget to take the eight hundred miles of Deputy Commander Hu's expedited.

King Qing sighed heavily, there is no day in this court, it is just ......

He looked at Dong Wende and said in a low voice: "If you are not small, you will lie." ”

Dong Wende said righteously: "The minister is not good at lying. "He's not good, not never lying.

King Qing shook his head and left, Dong Wende can be regarded as fighting this time. But also, such a big thing, even he has to lie, the court has lied a lot, if you don't lie about the city food, can you just admit it?

In the upper study, only Dong Wende and Wei Xiang can be lowered.

Wei Xiang is not great, but his legs are shaking terribly, how could he not know the evidence of what those officials did. Two unequivocal anonymous letters, plus a few people who saw the grain delivery procession.

Dong Wende stepped forward to hold Wei Xiang's arm, "Xia Guan knows that this matter has nothing to do with Wei Xiang. ”

Wei Xiang took a deep breath, and he stood up tremblingly, "You tell the truth to Ben Xiang, did Your Majesty already know about the city protection food?" "Two and a half million quintals of grain is not a small amount, and the emperor rewarded Northern Xinjiang for distributing food and salary early, so how could he not ask about the origin of the silver.

Dong Wende said: "The city guard has never left Jingzhao from beginning to end. ”

Wei Xiang looked at Dong Wende, and he had a feeling that Dong Wende was not lying. His heart sank, if the city guard had never left Jingzhao at all, then this time he sued Dong Wende's officials......

A chill rushed from his tail vertebrae to the heavenly spirit cover, could it be that the emperor wanted to clear the court's fine work, and did it deliberately? But the emperor's attitude just now is not like it!

Dong Wende's words are as true as they are, no matter how many warehouses the city grain is stored, it has never left Jingzhao from beginning to end.

***

The emperor sat in the Luan car on his way to the Qianqing Palace, and he looked at the letter from Deputy Commander Hu, and the expression on his face was very wonderful.

The fortification was not in the accompanying ranks, so where did the rations go? Dong Wende's words just now appeared in the emperor's ears.

The emperor said in his heart: "No wonder Dong Qing said so calmly, it turns out that the city protection grain has not left Beijing at all." What is Ruyi's girl doing? ”

The news that the city food is still in Beijing has made the emperor feel a little at ease, and now he only needs to deal with those officials who are in trouble.

What the emperor hates most is to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and use rules and reason to force him to do what he has to do. Today he is going to look good at the self-righteous people.

***

In the Qianqing Palace, except for Wei Xiang and Dong Wende, all the officials knelt on the ground.

The emperor pointed to the people kneeling on the ground, "This is the evidence of your impeachment of the second-rank master?" Haha, a few anonymous letters, plus a few flat-headed people? ”

The kneeling officials' heads bowed even more.

Zhang Yushi kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, whether it is true or not, as long as you open the granary of the moat, the truth will be revealed." ”

Dong Wende hugged his fists and said: "If Your Majesty thoroughly investigates Weichen because of a few anonymous letters and a few flat-headed people, then he can sue the Ministry of Officials for buying and selling officials, and sue the Criminal Department for accepting bribes in a private court, and sue ......."

Dong Wende looked at Zhang Yushi, "Does Imperial Doctor Zhang want to continue to talk about it?" ”

Zhang Yushi trembled, he wanted to say that of course he couldn't thoroughly investigate the six departments because of a few anonymous letters and a few flat-headed people, but what he said just now made him unable to change his words.

The emperor shouted: "Did Dong Shangshu say half a sentence wrong? Are you old fools, or what? Dare to impeach Tobe Shangshu without even substantial evidence, who gave you the guts? ”

This time, more than 800 people set fire to the grain, and such a team appeared out of thin air in the territory of the Great Zhou, and the local officials did not even know about it. If there is no spy in this matter, he will not believe it to death.

The emperor's eyes were slightly confused, and the matter was handed over to Wei Xiang for thorough investigation, and I wanted to know who wrote the anonymous letter, and who formed a party to unite with the officials to falsely accuse the household department of Shangshu.

Everyone was shocked, what the emperor wanted to investigate was not the household department, but the informant and their accusers.

The turn of events caught all the officials off guard.

Dong Wende was also a little dumbfounded at the moment, and he said in his heart: "Your Majesty is so protective of me, I will definitely go to the soup for Your Majesty." ”

King Qing was also shocked in his heart, saying that these officials were falsely accused, but the fact was that the city protection food was indeed given to Dong Ruyi. If it is turned out afterwards, how will the emperor end up.

King Qing knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty thinks twice, this time it involves too many officials, and I ask Your Majesty to punish it as appropriate." ”

The emperor said: "King Qing doesn't have to intercede for such people, today I will let them know what the law of the Great Zhou is." Come, all of them will be sent to heaven and prison, and their families will be surrounded in the house to wait for their fate. ”

King Qing's eyes widened, when did the emperor act so arbitrarily.

I heard only one person shouting, "The food for the city is the most important thing, Your Majesty must not be deceived by traitorous ministers, and it is not a pity for the ministers to die." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang, and the man slammed into the pillar in the temple.

Blood splashed on the spot, Zhang Fuhai left and ran over, he tried his snort, shook his head and said, "The breath is gone." ”

One of the officials kneeling on the ground shouted, "Your Majesty, the city food is the most important thing, and it is not a pity for the ministers to die, but the city food must not be checked!" ”

The emperor's face was extremely ugly.

Dong Wende's face was also ugly, he stabilized his mind, thinking about Dong Ruyi's advice before leaving. He clenched his fists and said in his heart: "Ruyi, my father will protect himself and the Dong family." ”

He took a step forward, and then knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to accept any thorough investigation, but ......"

He turned his head to look at the kneeling officials, "If the food for the city is there, what should you do?" ”

The hall suddenly fell silent, and Dong Wende's words made some people present feel uncertain.
