Chapter 147: House Arrest
Ye Xiuyu has always given people the impression that he is quiet and calm, and rarely speaks, but every time he stands up, someone will inevitably suffer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The last time was to impeach the candidate for the Ministry of Rites recommended by the Marquis of Jinyang, but this time he actually pointed the finger at Tang Taishi!
Everyone present was shocked, this Ye Xiuyu didn't borrow courage from the sky, and he actually broke ground on Tai Sui's head.
In this court, who doesn't know, Tang Younian has been in the officialdom for decades, and no one dares to offend him, sometimes what he says is more effective than the holy decree, who greeted him with a smile?
Although the ratio of power has changed slightly, Tang Younian's position in the court is still solid, and even the emperor has to sell him some face, what is wrong now?
The eyes of these people looking at Ye Xiuyu are no different from looking at an unlucky egg.
It's a pity that this scholar has only been in office for a long time, and it is estimated that the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger before he dares to act so recklessly.
A poor scapegoat.
Even the emperor was shocked by this opening, only Ye Xiuyu himself was calm and calm, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked at the eyes around him as if he were nothing.
Chen Wei, who was standing at the forefront, raised his eyes, and the afterglow intersected with Gu Xiuhuai, who was diagonally behind, and they understood each other, and they knew how to act at the opportunity without saying much.
It's a matter of success or failure.
The emperor forcibly suppressed the urge to yawn and cry, his face turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Ye Aiqing, are you serious?" Tang Taishi is highly respected and has good conduct, which is a matter for all to see, but you are not allowed to open your mouth and slander at will. β
The partiality in his words was already extremely obvious, and there was a slight threat, but Ye Xiuyu was still calm and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister has evidence, and he really doesn't dare to say anything." β
As he spoke, he took out a stack of bookcases from his wide sleeved robe and presented them.
There was a dead silence in the whole dynasty, and everyone shifted their focus from Ye Xiuyu to the stack of copywriting.
If Ye Xiuyu didn't say anything, wouldn't this thing really be the handle of Tang Taishi over the years?
This......
When the emperor opened it, his expression became more and more ugly. Tang Taishi was quite calm, especially unmoving, but his face was also very gloomy.
I have to say that it is not without reason that he has covered the sky with one hand in the court over the years, if he had changed others to face such a battle, I am afraid that his knees would have weakened, he would have fallen to the ground, and then cried and shouted 'The emperor is sage, Weichen is wronged'.
But Tang Younian actually heard his name at the moment when Ye Xiuyu stood up and spoke, his eyes sank slightly, and the rest of his face was expressionless.
The emperor quickly read the stack of evidence, which was full of evidence that Tang Younian had accepted bribes and sold official positions over the years, as well as letters sent by important officials and local princes in the imperial court.
The above is indeed Tang Younian's handwriting, which cannot be denied.
Although the emperor is a little mediocre, his brain is not bad, and he actually knows what Tang Taishi has done in the court over the years, but he is really not interested in political affairs, and it is inevitable that the imperial power will fall, even if it is not Tang Taishi, there will be others.
After all, the world is peaceful and prosperous, and there is no chaos.
Some things are not too much, and he will turn a blind eye to them.
It's just that now these things are naked in front of him, and he can't accept it.
I saw the emperor slowly put down those things, looked directly at Ye Xiuyu, and said, "Ye Aiqing, where did you get these things?" β
Before Ye Xiuyu could answer, Chen Wei sneered, and now this question is still the point, it is really absurd and hopeless.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is what a team of assassins accidentally broke into the Weichen Mansion some time ago, and was picked up by the minister's subordinates after falling from his body in a hurry."
This set of rhetoric was communicated between him and Chen Wei early on, so that even if the emperor had the heart to ask the end, he could easily prevaricate with just one sentence that the assassin had escaped and only left something behind.
Anyway, there is no flaw on the surface, and as for believing or not believing, it is not within the scope of their consideration.
Sure enough, when the emperor heard this, he only frowned slightly and didn't ask any further, but turned his gaze to Tang Taishi and said, "Taishi, what can you justify this?" β
Tang Younian refused to admit it, and only said that his subordinates did it without permission to accept bribes, and it had nothing to do with him.
There are also correspondence that flatly denies, saying that it is really inappropriate to determine the guilt based on a few words alone, that the letters can be forged, the handwriting can be imitated, and it is really impossible to count.
But indeed, Tang Younian had a good approach, as soon as he opened his mouth, someone took the blame for him, and he was willing to die to the ground, only saying that he was confused for a while and made a big mistake, without mentioning Tang Younian.
Chen Wei has always been a cold watcher, and seeing this scene is no different from a farce.
Seeing that the emperor has been a little shaken, the initial little anger has long disappeared, so that the ministers are silent, and then pretend to be majestic, and said: "This matter is very important, there are many suspicions, the Taishi is right, these written records alone are not enough to judge the guilt," the emperor condescended, and made a final decision: "In my opinion, it is better to hand over this matter to the Criminal Department for investigation before dealing with it." β
Everyone was silent.
The emperor coughed and asked pretentiously, "What do you think?" β
As soon as the words fell, Chen Wei knew that he wanted to lose the army at this time, but how could he let the emperor get his wish?
It's naΓ―ve.
I saw him sneer and immediately went out of the ranks.
When the emperor saw him come out, he had a bad heart, but he couldn't stop it in front of everyone, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "What's the matter with the general?" β
Chen Wei bowed his hand, lowered his eyes slightly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Shengming, the last general also thinks that this is very good, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Criminal Department alone to find out the truth in a short period of time." β
The emperor forced a smile: "Then according to the general's meaning......?" β
Chen Wei hooked his lips: "In order to investigate the matter clearly as soon as possible, the general thinks that it should be efficient to hand it over to the three legal divisions to jointly investigate and collect evidence, so that the master can be cleared as soon as possible." β
Criminal Department?
Hehe, who of the people present didn't know that it was Tang Younian's sharp weapon for killing people for many years, and he handed it to them to find out something.
He didn't expect the Three Law Divisions to find out what was famous, as long as he could trap Tang Younian.
The three departments, each independent but containing each other, can make Tang Younian restrained by a little means.
Sure enough, the emperor's face became even more ugly, and he was about to speak, when Gu Xiuhuai stood up again to cheer, and said: "The minister thought that there should be another article, when the three law divisions collected evidence and investigated, in order to avoid suspicion, he also asked the Taishi to cultivate himself in the mansion." β
This is a very polite statement, but no one can hear the meaning of house arrest.
Without waiting for the emperor to react, he had already knelt down and had no choice but to listen to Chen Wei's opinion.
Since then, turning his hands into clouds and raining in the court, Tang Taishi, who has been spanning for decades, has finally kicked the iron plate.
β¦β¦
Soon after Tang Younian was placed under house arrest, Fu Anrong saw that the opportunity was rare and hurriedly made a statement and asked the emperor to make a prince.
The country cannot be saved for a day.
As soon as these words came out, countless people responded, because now the emperor's body is getting worse day by day, and his spirit is getting worse and worse.
Although Tang Younian was trapped, he had a lot of minions, and it was not difficult to manipulate it secretly, so the second prince of the court had the highest voice.
Although Pei Ning was intelligent, he was too young after all, which became the only reason for everyone's opposition.
Gu Yan knew that the previous dynasty was arguing in full swing, but there was no way at all, so she could only hug the child and say, "Ning'er, you have to grow up quickly," she paused: "Only in this way can you block the mouth of the people." β
Qingjia came to play with her this day, and when she heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "Sister Gu, aren't you deliberately trying to make me unbearable when you say this?" β
She's still holding this in her hand!
Gu Yan saw that her side face was gentle and quiet, and there was a glimmer in her eyes that was unique to a mother, and she couldn't help but sigh, the delicate and moving girl back then has now become the mother of a child.
But it is still as pure as it was at the beginning, without any impurities, which really makes her envious.
She looked at her quietly for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Jiajia, you can hurry up, how about having another little daughter?" β
Gu Yan touched Chen Xi's sleeping face and said softly, "...... How good it would be to give us Pei Ning as a daughter-in-law in the future. β
"Huh?"
β¦β¦
There has not yet been a result in the establishment of the prince in the court, and there is an accident over there.
The emperor suddenly fainted in the palace, and then the news came that he was critically ill.
Chen Wei knew that the time had come. (To be continued.) )
