Chapter 527: Aftermath

In the afternoon, Zhou Heng was tired of watching Shen Yuan act, and glanced at the so-called "evidence" of Cui Zhenyi's corruption that he presented, and said, "The note submitted by Shen Qing was signed by Cui Qing himself?" ”

How can anyone take bribes and make receipts? Cui Zhenyi's brain is not broken.

"Exactly." Shen Yuanyi said solemnly: "As a member of the Cabinet University, he did such a thing, which is really a shame for my generation......"

Zhou Heng looked at him with a smile. Obviously, these people who stand up today are his comrades, and as long as they investigate carefully, they will certainly be able to nip the party struggle in the bud. It was a dream to want to engage in party struggle in his empire and divide his power.

Shen Yuan realized that Zhou Heng's tone was not quite right, and he cleverly shut up.

Zhou Heng smiled and said: "Cui Qing's face, don't talk about Zhu Qing, I can imitate it beautifully." He put the note with Cui Zhenyi's "signature" in a ball, threw it away, and said, "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

The ministers were stunned. This has been fighting for a long time, who are you going to deal with, you have to tell the truth, right?

Shen Yuan was stunned, his face was red and white. The note was written by him, and the signature was imitated by him. We have been colleagues for many years, and it is not difficult to imitate signatures. But what does the emperor's attitude mean?

He was stunned, Zhou Heng had already stepped down from the throne and beckoned to Cui Zhenyi: "Cui Qing and I have dinner together." ”

Shen Yuan's party still didn't understand the reason of who Zhou Heng preferred. It's all too obvious.

In the eyes of the ministers, the debate was fierce today, and at the end of the day, everyone was hungry, and the emperor did not give porridge, mainly not to discuss state affairs. In fact, Zhou Heng didn't give porridge, not because of this, but because Shen Yuan's actions made him unhappy. There was an old man of Mount Tai who attacked him out of nothing, and he also gave porridge. That's so flawed.

The emperor's banquet is not trivial, is this the rhythm to punish their sins? Seeing Zhou Heng take Cui Zhenyi away, Shen Yuan and the party all looked at him, some of them flinched, and some of them showed confusion.

Shen Yuan's face suddenly turned pale as snow.

He didn't expect Zhou Heng to be so protective of Cui Zhenyi.

Zhou Heng and Cui Zhenyi arrived at Anhua Palace, and Cui Keyin greeted them. smiled and said, "Why did you come at this time?" ”

"Hungry?" Zhou Heng took a step forward. took her hand and said, "Have you eaten a little first?" ”

"I've eaten it."

The three of them sat down, and the meal was quickly put on the table. Finish eating. Cui Zhenyi asked Zhou Heng about his plans. He knew Zhou Heng much better than Shen Yuan, and seeing that he didn't care about being a wall-to-wall watcher, he guessed that he must have a deep meaning, so he was dealing with Shen Yuan and his party. While guessing Zhou Heng's intentions. I just guessed for a long time, but I still can't ask for an order.

Zhou Heng gave a banquet. Naturally, it's not just pretentious, it's as simple as expressing a stand. Now, it must be time for a deep talk.

Sure enough, Zhou Heng said: "I don't want the party to revivenation." This matter is handed over to the eldest uncle. ”

Cui Zhenyi understood and said: "There are many people in the Jiangxi party. If it is uprooted, I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of the world's scholars. ”

This is the process and scope of the punishment. If you play too much and slaughter all the officials from Jiangxi, then the scholars of Jiangxi will not participate in the imperial examination in a fit of anger, and the empire will not lose its talents?

Zhou Heng hooked the corners of his lips and said, "The first evil must be eliminated, and the rest can be demoted." ”

The tone was set, and Cui Zhenyi retired to handle it.

The Dajia Dynasty ruled the country by law and had its own set of operating mechanisms. To punish a minister, especially a cabinet like Shen Yuan, it is necessary to first collect his crimes, then impeach him in the imperial history, and then publicly investigate. The so-called public investigation is not a case investigation like in modern times, but directly sends the impeached person to prison and searches his home.

The layer of snaring the crime has been completed by secret agents. Huanxi handed a box to Cui Zhenyi. It is full of information on many officials of the Jiangxi party handed over from the distant mountains, which is very detailed, as small as when someone accepted the first few concubines, and when someone rested in the first few concubines yesterday. It's as big as where these people are secretly discussing and discussing.

Cui Zhenyi only read two pages, and his face changed.

Most of the courtiers didn't know that there was such a secret agent, and Cui Zhenyi only guessed from many clues that Zhou Heng might have an immeasurable force in his hands, but he didn't expect Zhou Heng to know so much about the situation of the ministers. His heart trembled, and he couldn't help but look at Cui Keyin.

Cui Keyin smiled at him and said, "Uncle Hugh should be careful, the emperor has no ill will towards you." ”

Although there is no malice now, I am afraid that it may not be in the future. Cui Zhenyi suddenly had the idea of retiring, if he asked to resign at this time, would he be able to save the Cui family? But after such a thought flashed through his mind, he denied it again. He can't retreat. He retreated, what should Cui Keyin do? The third brother only has this bloodline, can he make her have nothing to rely on?

He quickly decided that after returning home, he would immediately write a letter back to Qinghe, and ask Cui Zhenduan to pick one or two children from the younger brothers in the clan to choose another place to raise, and when Cui Muhua has a child, he must also put a child in a safe place to continue the Cui family's incense.

These thoughts were only for a moment, and he smiled and said, "The minister doesn't dare." Thanks to this information, the minister was able to get things done in the shortest possible time. ”

Zhou Heng sat in the first place, concentrating on cooking tea, as if he couldn't understand his careful thoughts at all. After Cui Zhenyi left, he said to Cui Keyin: "Uncle was frightened just now, and a drop of sweat dripped from his forehead. ”

The temperature in the room was moderate, and dripping sweat could only say that he was afraid.

Cui Keyin stared at him and said, "It's hard to say what will happen in the future, in case the Cui family disdains a child who offends Long Yan, and asks the emperor to leave a bloodline for the Cui family for the sake of the concubines." ”

The Cui family has reached its peak until now, and if it commits a crime, it will be a great crime to destroy the family. Cui Keyin pleaded with Zhou Heng for the future Cui family.

As long as the Cui family can be preserved, twenty years later, the Cui family can rise again.

Zhou Heng was also looking at him, his eyes didn't blink, and he said softly: "I promised you." ”

As Cui Keyin said, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, and no one can predict it. Zhou Heng is only twenty years old this year, and with his physique, it is not a problem to live to be seventy or eighty years old. After Cui Zhenyi, the descendants of the Cui family will inevitably continue to be in office, and they will continue to be in a high position because of Cui Keyin. For fifty or sixty years, no one could have predicted that they would always be willing to abide by their duties.

If the Cui family has inflated ambitions, the Cui family will not be far from extermination. Cui Keyin pleaded for the Cui family in advance.

Cui Keyin was nestled in Zhou Heng's arms.

Zhou Heng chuckled and said, "The eldest uncle will restrain the younger generations, you don't have to think too much." ”

The Cui family's family style has always been self-controlled, or there is no day that Cui Keyin is worried about.

Cui Keyin said in a low voice: "I hope so." ”

In the early morning of another day, hundreds of officials went to court, and just after seeing the end, the Queen Mother came.

Zhou Heng had no choice but to step down from the throne, lead the ministers to see, and said, "The queen mother is not resting in the palace, what is the matter here?" ”

Early in the morning, what are you going to do when you go to the Chongzheng Palace? (To be continued.) )>
