Chapter 69: Demotion of Officials
In the compromise, he impeached Wang Zhe for the 15 major crimes, bullying the king, embezzling and accepting bribes, forcibly occupying fertile land, and so on. is reasonable, there are witnesses, according to the list on the fold, probably except for forciating/robbing people's daughters, Wang Zhe has done all kinds of bad things.
In the end, it was concluded that Wang Zhe should be executed by Ling Chi to make the people angry.
After reading this letter, Emperor An was so angry that his hands trembled.
Just when the ministers thought that Emperor Zhi'an had been deceived by Wang Zhe, and now they finally saw his true face and became angry, Wang Zhe came back to his senses, knelt down with tears and snot in his eyes to plead guilty, and knocked his forehead on the green brick with a "bang" sound.
Emperor Zhi'an personally helped Wang Zhe to get up, and passed the imperial doctor to bandage his forehead with beads of blood.
"Sir, you can't do that. I have always known that my husband loves me very much. Emperor An's kind words comforted him, and he almost took the sleeve of the dragon robe to wipe Wang Zhe's tears.
Wang Zhe showed his loyalty, and his godson Wang Yuan helped him to go to the side hall to be bandaged by the imperial doctor.
The ministers are in a mess in the wind.
It is Zhou Quan, he is just a seven-grade imperial history, without the qualifications of the court, I don't know how to sneak into the Chongzheng Palace early in the morning, and he was impeached when he was in the next dynasty of Emperor An.
Generally, what is done is called a dead admonition, which is a desperate life, and it is also a reprimand.
The scene in front of him made him both angry and desperate, with such an emperor, how could the empire have a future?
Seeing Wang Zhe bent his waist and staggering towards the side hall pretending to be old and weak, Zhou Quan couldn't hold back anymore and shouted: "Emperor Xian, the minister will accompany you." "Slammed headlong into the cricket pillar.
"Catch him!" Emperor An's fingers were thoughtful, and his voice trembled slightly. Angry.
The guards standing by the pillar were quick and grabbed them. Everyone heard a muffled "bang", and the guard pulled Zhou Quan's sleeve, but in the end he still let him bump into it. His forehead was a blur of flesh and blood, and he fainted.
After the doctor finished bandaging Wang Zhe, he came over to bandage Zhou Quan.
Emperor An's face was pale, and he set up a diligent palace.
Some of the ministers shook their heads and sighed, some were sad, and some were terrified.
The news spread, and many officials from the sixth and seventh grades got together to discuss. See how to dredge Wang Zhe. Let him open the net and save his life.
However, a feasible solution has not been discussed, and Zhou Quan has been thrown into prison.
That's the edict, there is no entry and no exit. Nine dead and lifeless places. What's more, Zhou Quan offended Wang Zhe to death. Wang Zhe is narrow-minded. How can it be possible to save a small life?
Zhou Quan's family set up a mourning hall, and his wife and children wore linen and filial piety.
Cui Zhenyi was so anxious that his mouth was foaming, and he discussed with several staff members for a long time. An idea that works can't be come up.
Gu Ming came, his eyes were red, and he talked to Cui Zhenyi in the study for a long time.
Cui Keyin thought that on the day she entered the city, she was very uncomfortable because she had to help impeach Li Mingfeng, and she thought that she had to try her best to save him no matter what. asked people to go to Cui Muhua, and wanted him to help him go to the edict prison to take a look at Zhou Quan, beat the jailers, and let Zhou Quan be offended.
The students of Guozijian were full of emotion, and Cui Muhua was busy discussing with them to go to the public office of the cabinet office to ask for help.
Cui Muhua has not come back, and new news has come out, until Emperor An issued an order to release Zhou Quan from the edict and change it to Qiongzhou (Hainan).
Qiongzhou is the end of the world, it is a wild land, miasma is rampant, don't think about coming back alive if you go.
The ministers discussed and discussed, and some people said that it would be better to pool money to buy Wang Zhe and ask him to change the place of exile, which was approved by the majority of the people. So everyone was busy scraping together money, and Cui Zhenyi took out 5,000 taels at once.
Just scraped together 50,000 yuan, and the representative sent to bribe/bribe Wang Zhe had not yet gone out, and another news came, and Emperor An issued an order again, degrading Zhou Quanquan to go to Chaozhou as a county commander, and set off on the same day.
Chaozhou is always better than Qiongzhou, and it is also a seven-grade county order, which can be regarded as a flat tone at the same level.
Everyone said that the sun came out of the west, and Wang Zhe also had a day of kindness.
The students of Guozijian made an appointment to go to Zuixian Tower to celebrate after class, and the officials were also overjoyed, some went to send them well, and some of them were afraid of getting burned, so they asked someone to send money and goods.
Cui Keyin asked Cui Muhua to give five hundred taels of silver tickets to Zhou Quan's wife.
Zhou Quan escaped death, said goodbye to his colleagues with tears in his eyes, and took his wife and children out of the city. When the person who saw him off returned to the capital, he whispered in his son's ear: "Son, remember Zhou Zhizhi's kindness." If it weren't for him, my father would have died in prison. ”
It is rumored that the emperor orally led him out of prison was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, after he was demoted to Qiongzhou, or this little guy appeared in time to let him calm down, and then he waited for the holy decree to go to Chaozhou.
People who already thought they were going to die, and had died twice, cherished the opportunity to live even more. Zhou Quan thanked the little guy with tears in his eyes, but the little guy said: "The little one is acting according to the orders of my son-in-law." ”
He asked who your lord was, and the little servant replied: "Zhou Zhizhi, Zhou Gongzi." ”
I don't know who this Zhou Zhizhi is, but he can snatch food from Wang Zhe's mouth and save him.
Thinking of such a powerful person in the court, the empire has hope, and Zhou Quan only feels full of strength, and even derogatory Chaozhou feels nothing.
Zhou Heng, who assumed the alias Zhou Zhizhi again, was sitting in the banquet room of Huayuexuan drinking tea at this time, and talked about thoughtful things with Cui Keyin: "...... He has an upright personality and is sincere to his royal brother. ”
Cui Keyin has always been worried and thoughtful, but she can't do anything, so she can't do it. At this time, when I heard Zhou Heng say that Zhou Quan and Wang Zhe had no selfish grudges, and they were completely for the sake of the empire, they died before admonishing him, and he couldn't help but sigh even more.
"He even set the coffin, he personally picked it up, and he picked a thin coffin." Zhou Hengdao.
Knowing that he will die, but also having the courage to move forward, what a man like this! It's a pity that the emperor failed him. Cui Keyin thought silently and said, "Fortunately, he survived in the end." ”
"yes." Zhou Heng grinned.
Cui Keyin looked at him, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was very embarrassed, and her heart moved, and she said, "It can't be that you saved him, right?" ”
Zhou Heng smiled but did not answer.
"Say it! How did you save him and get out of the way? Cui Keyin said busily.
Because of Emperor Zhi'an's unprincipled favoritism, Wang Zhe's arrogance became even more arrogant, and some people in the court began to float and wanted to throw themselves under his door. In the past, officials thought they were scholars and disdained to be driven by a eunuch, but now some people who want to climb up have seen the weight of Wang Zhe in the heart of Emperor Zhi'an, and they can't help but have the recitation of leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade.
I'm afraid, with the first person, there will be a steady stream of people who will become his lackeys.
Zhou Heng said: "Zhou Quan must be kept, otherwise, who will dare to go to the book in the future?" These days, I'm just running more diligently in the palace, and I'm always by the emperor's side. The imperial brother was angry, and I said that he really deserved to die, but if I killed him, I was afraid that it would chill the hearts of the world's scholars. The emperor's ears were soft, so he released him from the edict.
Wang Zhe was bent on his death, and instigated the imperial brother to belittle him to Qiongzhou. I said that the scenery of Qiongzhou is pleasant, and the four seasons are like spring. It is not civilized, he is a scholar, the place where he has the most talent to show his talents, and he will definitely live better if he goes. Wang Zhe thought about it, and said that he would go to Chaozhou, where the miasma was heavy, and the poison would not kill him. ”
Chaozhou has nearly a thousand years of tea tribute, and if there is miasma, where can it be poisoned? (To be continued......)
