In the third year of Taihe, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the last court meeting.

Wan Yan Jing sat on the dragon chair and yawned.

In the past, at this time, almost all the ministers of the DPRK and China stopped reporting on political affairs, and only offered some auspicious rui to wish the emperor immortal blessings and eternal enjoyment.

"The Qing family has something to do, and there is nothing to retreat from." The voice of the palm print eunuch Ma Kubo sounded.

In the imperial history, Cheng finished his face and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." ”

Before Wanyanshu went to the age of last year, he was originally appointed as the eunuch of Taifu, and this position was in charge of grain and grass in Beijing, which was really a fat shortage. This guy originally disagreed with Wan Yan Honglie, and he blocked King Zhao many times in big and small affairs, but he was later cleaned up by Wan Yan Kang, and it was only after he stopped a little. Wan Yan Jing knew that this person was greedy, so he transferred Wan Yan Shu from the post of eunuch of Taifu at the age of last year and reappointed him as the middle of the imperial history.

In the imperial history, the official residence is second-grade, higher than the official position of the Taifu supervisor, and the completion of the face is changed from the Taifu supervisor to the imperial history Zhongcheng, and he is promoted on the surface, but he is silently crying in his heart.

Although the official position of the eunuch is slightly lower, it is a fat shortage that is difficult to find with a lantern. The duty of the Imperial Historical Observatory is to impeach hundreds of officials, and to put it bluntly, it is a job to offend people. In order to be able to stand firm and establish authority in the Yushitai, one must have a hard background, and the other must be honest and honest.

As a disciple of the clan, Wanyan Shu is backed by the big tree of King Lu, Wanyan Yongji, and his background is so-so. But this guy has always been open-minded when he sees money, and he doesn't know how much silver he has made when he is the eunuch of Taifu alone.

If you don't have a clean body, how can you be hard in the history of the Imperial History.

Since his arrival more than a year ago, Wan Yanshu has personally impeached the officials, and there is not enough of a palm, and there is not a single person with more than five grades.

In the eyes of the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty, the position of Wanyanshu in the imperial history is just a decoration.

"Aiqing, if you don't have anything important, you might as well play it again after the year." Wan Yanjing frowned.

Wanyanshu shuddered for a moment, turned his head to look at King Lu in front of him, his eyes became firm again, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to impeach King Zhao, Zongzi committed murder, reckless human life, corrupted the law, raised private soldiers, bought people's hearts, and conspired to rebel." ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire Qianqing Palace sounded a gasp.

Li Xi'er stood behind the side of Wanyanshu and muttered in a low voice: "Dog's day, I ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall!" ”

Wanyan Honglie turned his head, glared at Wanyan Shu angrily, and said coldly: "Lord Cheng in the Imperial History, do you know that there is a crime in this dynasty, which is called a false accusation. If the false accusation fails, you have to sit back! ”

Wanyan Hongyan snorted: "Before my father made a sound, you intimidated the minister in court, what do you want!" ”

Wanyan Honglie glanced at Wanyan Shu deeply, turned his head to come out of the ranks, and knelt down on his knees: "This thief was instigated by someone to maliciously frame his sons, please ask my father to investigate." ”

Wan Yan Jing raised his head: "Wan Yan Shu, do you know what you are talking about!" ”

Wanyanshu's body began to tremble again, and he took a few deep breaths before replying: "Your Majesty, what Weichen said is true. With that, he took out the fold he had prepared from his bosom and held it high above his head.

Ma Kubo hurriedly walked down the steps in front of the hall, took the fold from Wanyanshu's hand, and presented it to the emperor.

Wan Yan Shu played the Zongzi murder and disregard people's lives, saying that Wan Yan Kang killed Master Fei and a few people in Zhending Mansion; The corrupt and perverted the law, but it was Wan Yanxi who embezzled the grain and grass of the treasury in the name of disaster relief, and Wan Yanshu said that this matter was instructed by Wan Yan Kang; The act of raising private soldiers is the act of finishing the divine soldier base built by Yan Kang, which can be regarded as a cliché; The performance of buying people's hearts and conspiring to rebel, Wanyan said that it was really a porridge, but it was actually buying people's hearts for King Zhao, and the purpose was self-evident.

After Yan Jing unfolded the fold and began to read, after half a burnt incense, he put away the fold and handed it to Ma Kubo: "Hong Lie, take a look." ”

Wanyan Honglie took the fold from Ma Kubo's hand, opened it and looked at it carefully, and after a while, a look of surprise and anger appeared on his face. After a stick of incense, Wanyan Honglie read the fold again, and then read it from the beginning, and then handed it back to Makubo.

"The so-called matter of raising private soldiers, the sons and daughters have already been attacked countless times, and the father and emperor have already made a judgment. Most of the rest of the things are unknown to the ministers. A few months ago, Kang Er went to Zhongnanshan with Changchun Zhenren to learn art, and after returning home recently, he only said that he had stayed in Zhending Mansion for a few days. According to Erchen, the various crimes mentioned in the recital are just instructions and personal revenge in the imperial history. ”

After Yan Honglie finished saying these words, he took two steps forward and bowed to the ground: "Please Father Emperor Mingcha!" ”

Wan Yan Jing looked at Wan Yan Shu: "Yu Shi Zhongcheng, can there be empirical evidence for what you played, or is it hearsay?" ”

Wanyanshu also knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, what Weichen played is all substantiated. ”

Wan Yan Jing hesitated, and after a while, he said loudly: "King Lu, you can also take a look." ”

Wanyan Yongji took the recital, read it quickly, and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the imperial history said that everything that was played was substantiated, and His Royal Highness King Zhao also said that he didn't know, so he might as well call the emperor's grandson into the palace and ask what happened." ”

Wan Yan Jing said: "Just according to what King Lu said, Kubo, you go and summon." ”

Ma Kubo got the order and immediately took the two little eunuchs out of the palace.

In the entire Qianqing Palace, no one made a sound, only the sound of breathing.

After a while, Wanyan Yongji said loudly: "Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the old minister, it is better to retreat from the court first and go to the study to discuss matters." ”

Wan Yanjing nodded: "What King Lu said is very true, I am also a little tired, and the Qing family will retreat first." King Lu, King Jing, King Yan, King Zhao, Pingzhang Political Affairs, Shangshu Youcheng, and Yushi Zhongcheng stayed, and after half an hour, they came to the upper study. ”

Before half an hour, Wan Yankang rushed to the outside of the study with Ma Kubo, and when he saw that everyone was waiting outside, he stepped forward one by one and bowed down. When he arrived in front of Wan Yanshu, Wan Yankang only snorted, revealing a look like he was waiting to see.

After a while, the door of the upper study opened, and the two little eunuchs went out and invited everyone in.

Everyone was going to pay their respects, but Wan Yanjing waved his hand: "I have already worshipped, so I don't need to pay any more respects." As he spoke, he said, "Give King Lu a seat." ”

Wanyan Yongji is regarded as the imperial uncle of Wanyan Jing, who is quite preferential in front of the saint, and is allowed to see the saint without worshipping and giving him a seat in front of the emperor. Seeing that the saint does not worship this privilege, Wanyan Yongji has never dared to accept it, and he has always accepted such privileges as giving a seat in front of the emperor. The emperor gave the seat, and King Lu did not refuse, so he sat down on the left.

Wan Yankang flashed out from behind and knelt down on his knees: "My grandson has seen the emperor's grandfather, I wish the emperor's grandfather a dragon body and a golden peace, and immortal blessings will be enjoyed forever." ”

Wan Yanjing stretched out his hand to help: "Get up." ”

Wan Yan Kang kowtowed again, then got up and stood behind Wan Yan Honglie.

"King Jing, King Yan, Pingzhang Political Affairs, Shangshu Youcheng, the twists and turns of the Imperial History, I have copied a few copies, you can also take a look." Wan Yan Jing waved his hand, and the little eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the copied folds one by one.

"Huangsun Kang also take a look." Wan Yan Jing added again.

After Yan Kang heard this, the emperor usually called himself "Kang'er", but today he changed his name, thinking that he already had some mustard in his heart.

He took the fold and read it carefully, word by word.

After a stick of incense, everyone has finished watching the recital.

"King Jing, what do you think?" Wan Yanjing asked first.

King Jing Wanyan Hongjing is the eldest son of Wanyan Jing, this person is mediocre in virtue, and he is recognized as a good man in the court, although he is the eldest son, he has no hope of inheriting the treasure. Wanyan Hongjing has never stood on the side of the court, and Wanyan Jing summoned him, but it was because Wanyan was impeached in the Wanyan technique, which was recommended by Wanyan Hongjing.

Wanyan Hongjing heard the emperor ask him first, and his body couldn't help but tremble, bowed his head and said: "The son has recommended it, and he is willing to accept the punishment." ”

Wan Yan Jing said: "What has been recommended, we will discuss it later, what do you think of the impeachment of King Zhao and Emperor Sun Kang in the imperial history?" ”

Wanyan Hongjing said: "Shengming is no more than his father, and his sons are dull, so it is difficult to understand it." It's just that from the perspective of the sons, the sixth brother has always been humble and polite, and he will not have a rebellious heart. ”

Wan Yan Jing sighed, and asked Wan Yan Hongyan again: "King Yan, what do you think?" ”

Wanyan Hongyan bowed and saluted: "Father, according to the opinion of the sons, what Cheng said in the imperial history is true, please make a decision with the sacred heart of the father." ”

"Pingzhang Political Affairs, Shangshu Youcheng, what do you think?" Wan Yan Jing was noncommittal, and asked the other two.

Pingzhang political affairs Wan Yan Shouzhen, Shang Shu right Cheng Xu held the country, in the entire Dajin Dynasty, except for Wan Yan Yongji, the great Zongzheng and several princes, can be regarded as the most powerful person. Wan Yanjing relies on the two of them a lot on weekdays, and many major affairs of the court and politics rely on the opinions of the two. In terms of the influence on the emperor in major court affairs, the opinions of Wanyan Shouzhen and Xu Zhiguo are even higher than those of Wanyan Honglie.

Wanyan Shouzhen and Xu Zhiguo glanced at each other, and took the lead in replying: "According to Weichen's opinion, what Cheng played in the imperial history may have empirical evidence. But when it came to King Zhao's conspiracy to rebel, Weichen did not dare to agree. ”

Xu Zhiguo followed and said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark, and if you summon Emperor Sun Kang here, why not listen to him." ”

Wan Yan Jing bowed slightly: "Emperor Sun Kang, tell me, what Cheng played in the imperial history, is it virtual or real?" ”

Wanyan Kangmai took a step forward and bowed again: "Grandpa Qiqi, my grandson just watched the recital of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, which is both the truth and nonsense. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Most of the things that Cheng played in the imperial history are true, but the crimes of his grandson and father in the imperial history are full of nonsense."

Wan Yanshu shouted: "Your Majesty, what Wei Chen played, every sentence is true!" ”

Wan Yanjing's eyes narrowed: "It's not too late to listen to the emperor's grandson's argument." ”

Wan Yan Kang Zhengse said: "In the imperial history, Cheng played the matter of murder and disregard for people's lives, and the truth of the matter is like this: Sun Er was outside Zhending City, and met a few bandits who robbed the people's daughters, Sun Er tried hard to persuade to no avail, but these bandits wanted to kill people and kill people, and Sun Er had no choice but to punish the murderer. According to the performance of the Imperial History, my dignified grandson of the Golden Emperor, when I see the lawlessness on the road, I will defend myself and fight back, and I will be falsely accused of disregarding people's lives, and I deserve to stretch out my neck for the bandits to cut down! ”

"If so, where is my great gold! Where is the majesty of my royal family! ”

When Wan Yan Kang said these two sentences, he turned his head and glared at Wan Yan Shu, which made this person tremble, and he couldn't help but take half a step back.

Wan Yan Jing said loudly: "Imperial grandson, is this really the case? ”

Wan Yankang turned his head, puffed up his chest and replied: "Please ask the imperial grandfather to investigate thoroughly, if the grandson has half a lie, let the imperial grandfather deal with it." If the accusation made by the Emperor in the imperial history is untrue, he should be punished for the crime of false accusation. ”

Wan Yan Jing glanced at Yan Shu, and saw that this person was timid, so he nodded: "Okay, you go on." ”

Wan Yankang continued: "What Cheng said in the imperial history was corrupt and perverted the law, but he put other people's on my head. The vivid verdict that Fei Yu funded the soup soup was indeed done by his grandson, and Wan Yanxi embezzled the grain and grass of the treasury in the name of soup kitchen, and the grandson really didn't know. ”

"Please Grandpa Huang!"

Wan Yanjing bowed slightly: "I will find out about this matter." ”

As for the idea of raising private soldiers, my grandson didn't want to say much. The people I have cultivated in my youth training base are all good seedlings who play football, and even if they can serve as soldiers, they are only two hundred. All the uncles and adults here, which family's private soldiers don't have this number. After Yankang said this, everyone in the study glanced around.

"If Lord Luwang, all the uncles, and adults disband the generals and private soldiers, Kang will not say a word, and he will send these rabbit cubs home to farm."

The faces of everyone were a little unbearable, and no one could answer for a while. These princes and ministers of the Jin Kingdom, which family does not have hundreds of generals and private soldiers, taking King Lu Wanyan Yongji as an example, the number of private soldiers in this person's home is at least one thousand and five. The private soldiers secretly raised by Wanyan Hongyan will only be more.

Wanyan Honglie coughed: "Kang'er, Hugh is going to be far away." ”

Wan Yankang just made a small counterattack, and if he really wanted to force the emperor to order the disbandment of the private soldiers, then he would have offended the princes and ministers of Mancheng. He continued: "The most powerful of these twists and turns in the imperial history are the last two: buying people's hearts and conspiring to rebel. ”

Speaking of this, Wan Yankang snorted: "In my opinion, these two sentences are just bullshit!" ”

Wan Yan Shu pointed at Wan Yan Kang: "You ......"

"What are you, that's right, Zhendingfu soup porridge is exactly what I did. Giving porridge for disaster relief should have been the right thing for the imperial court, but the local government did not do it, so that countless people froze to death and starved to death under their rule. As the emperor's grandson, I can't bear to see its miserable situation, but I did my best to do a little bit of goodness, and I was actually arranged by you to buy people's hearts and conspire to rebel! ”

"The soup soup in Zhending Mansion is all old rotten rice, and only those homeless people who have no way to live will go to receive the porridge. What is the use of the hearts of thousands of displaced people? Thousands of homeless people just rely on gruel to hang their lives, all of them are unarmed, how can they rebel? When Wan Yan Kang said this, he glared at Wan Yan Shu angrily, and used a little soul hooking Dafa method, and this person was shocked and didn't dare to speak.

Wanyan Hongyan took a step forward and said coldly: "There are many homeless people in their mouths, but they are shouting long live King Zhao." ”

Wan Yankang turned his head: "I don't care what the homeless people shout, let alone my father doesn't know about it." His Royal Highness King Yan knows so clearly, could it be that the person who shouted is the private soldier you planted? ”

Wanyan Hongyan was furious when he heard this: "Huangkou Xiaoer, dare to bully the king!" ”

Wan Yan Kang said: "Grandpa Huang, grandson, but according to the truth, King Yan said that his grandson deceived the king, could it be that he thought he was the king!" This person's heart is not subordinate, if it is revealed, please ask the emperor's grandfather to punish the crime! ”

"Bastard, this king definitely doesn't mean that......"

Wan Yan Jing suddenly felt that his head was big: "Shut up for me." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wanyan Honglie: "Honglie, you really don't know?" ”

Wanyan Honglie took a step forward, bowed down and said: "Father, the minister really doesn't know about this matter, Kang'er is young and acts a little badly, and I hope my father will forgive me." When he saw that his son had defended himself and had remedied the disadvantage, he thought that he would accept it when he saw it.

Wan Yan Jing thought for a moment in his heart, with the style of acting in Hong Lie, he should not be so reckless, and he thought that it was indeed a child's doing.

Everyone turned their eyes to Wan Yankang to see how he admitted his mistake.

Among the several charges of impeachment in Wanyanshu, the others can be said, but only the one that buys people's hearts is a certainty.

Since ancient times, buying people's hearts has been the most taboo for the higher-up. Many of the founding heroes of the country had to defile themselves with greed for money and lust to dispel the king's jealousy.

Ying Zheng worshiped Wang Jian as his commander and made him attack Chu with an army of 600,000. Before leaving, Wang Jian repeatedly asked for a good land and a beautiful house, and after arriving at Wuguan, he also sent five groups of envoys to ask the King of Qin for a reward. This move had a sense of insatiable greed, but it made King Yingzheng of Qin feel at ease.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin and other founding heroes were killed, and Xiangguo Xiao He used his power to exploit civilians, forcibly buy land, and make a lot of money, which made Liu Bang feel at ease and finally died a good death.

In order to get rid of the worries of Emperor Yang of Sui, Li Yuan pretended to be greedy for money and lustful, and had no virtue and no deeds, so that Yang Guang was relieved and neglected to control Taiyuan, so that Li Yuan took advantage of the situation and opened the Tang Dynasty.

In everyone's mind, as long as Wan Yan Honglie is not involved in this matter, Wan Yan Kang, the imperial grandson, obediently admits his mistakes and suffers a little grievance, but it is okay.

Wan Yankang patted his chest and said loudly: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson thinks that he is doing nothing wrong. This year's winter is extremely cold, and countless people have frozen to death and starved to death, and the imperial court should have sent ministers to inspect the Quartet, open warehouses to release grain, and provide disaster relief and rescue people. People who have never thought about Yan Shu's corpse vegetarian meal, do not know the suffering of the people, they will only have nothing to do, disturb the dynasty, and in the long run, the grandson will only fear that the country will not be a country. ”

"Please ask the imperial grandfather to cut off the head of the dog who has finished the face technique, in order to set an example!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect Wan Yankang not only to not get off the donkey down the slope, but to be so tough.

Wanyan Shu knelt down on his knees in fright, and kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, what Weichen played is all for my Dajin Jiangshan Sheji!" ”

Wanyan Hongyan hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Father, in the imperial history, Cheng is a person or has a small fault, and he will never dare to make up facts and deceive his father." The emperor's grandson's move is no accident, and I hope that my father and emperor will see it. ”

Wanyan Hongjing said: "Kang'er grew up under our watch, this child has a bit of a chivalrous spirit since he was a child, and he is by no means a deep-minded person. ”

Wanyan Hongyan snorted coldly: "You are not the emperor's grandson, you know your heart!" ”

Wanyan Hongjing was originally a good man, and he didn't argue with everyone on weekdays, but he was also angry at the moment, and went back angrily: "Don't use the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman!" ”

Seeing that the two had a dispute, Wanyan Yongji said: "King Jing, King Yan, don't lose your honor in front of the palace, if it spreads, it will damage the prestige of my royal family." ”

Only then did both of them stop their mouths and bow slightly to the emperor to apologize.

The emperor and grandson admitted that what Cheng played in the imperial history was true, and even if the accusation was wrong, it was not a false accusation. ”

"Pingzhang Political Affairs, Shangshu Youcheng, what do you two think?"

Wanyan Shouzhen bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of Weichen, this matter really has nothing to do with King Zhao, the emperor and grandson are young, and they may act badly, so there is no disagreement when they think about it." ”

Xu Zhiguo also said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it should be a major matter of the country to open a warehouse to release grain and provide disaster relief and save people. ”

Wan Yan Jing pondered for a moment: "Today's matter, I will find out about it, and then we will discuss it." ”

"The day after tomorrow is the New Year, you Aiqing go back to your home to rest, don't bother with mundane things these days."

"Obey the order!"

After everyone retired, Wan Yanjing left King Lu alone: "Uncle Huang, I don't know what you think about today's affairs?" ”

At the time of the controversy just now, Wanyan Yongji never said a word, and at this moment, he stroked his beard and said slowly: "In the imperial history, the old minister does not dare to discuss nonsense, and His Majesty will find out by himself." It's just that the old minister has a word, and I don't know whether to say it or not. With that, he looked left and right.

After Yan Jing stepped back, he said: "Uncle Huang, there are only you and me here, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say." ”

Wanyan Yongji said: "Today's impeachment case is just a trivial matter. According to the old minister, King Zhao is now in the court, and he is very virtuous and has high expectations...... "Speaking of this, he stopped talking.

Wan Yan Jing heard this, and recalled today's controversy, King Jing Wan Yan Hongjing, Pingzhang Political Affairs Wan Yan Shouzhen, and Shang Shu Right Cheng Xu Zhiguo, these people, intentionally or unintentionally, actually stood on Wan Yan Honglie's side.

If he is about to inherit the throne, it would be great if King Zhao could win the support of the courtiers.

Now I am in the prime of spring and autumn......

Wan Yanjing's face became gloomy.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, at the moment of Shen, the palm print eunuch Ma Jiubao entered the Zhao Palace.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said: Zhao Wang Honglie, the godson is not strict, misbehaved, ordered to be punished for a year, and thought about it behind closed doors for three months, Qin this!"
