Chun Yunian has only had one birthday since he was born, and Zhao Huan made moon cakes himself in order to please her, which made the palace very curious, what kind of moon cakes did the emperor make? Even when Ouyang Yu, who usually doesn't talk much, came to ask for a pulse, she couldn't help but ask her, is the taste of the mooncakes made by the emperor different?

"The filling of the package is different, and the taste is naturally different." She couldn't help but laugh.

Ouyang Yu took the pulse pillow, looked at her and said with a smile: "Pampered and arrogant." ”

She didn't care about this evaluation, and asked him with interest: "Do you want to try the mooncakes made by the emperor?" ”

"Don't dare to taste it." He thanked Bu Min and said.

"I don't tell outsiders." She was serious.

Ouyang Yu turned his eyes to look at her, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If you want to inquire about any news from me, just say it bluntly." ”

Chun Yu Nian was stunned, she was so obvious?

"How's the war going in the South?" She got straight to the point.

She asked Zhao Huan many times, but every time he prevaricated on the grounds that he hadn't caught Zhao Qian yet or that she was pregnant and shouldn't worry about it.

Ouyang Yu thought for a while and said calmly: "The battle report said that Zhao Qian fled to South Vietnam, and General Fu went to pursue him. ”

"Gone?" She frowned.

"Zhongshan is not peaceful, and the war cannot end for a while." He said in a slow tone, "I dare to say a little more, the mother should not worry about this matter, and raising the fetus in the womb is also considered to share the worries of His Majesty." ”

She sighed, smiled lightly and nodded, but she still couldn't calm down. Ouyang Yu saw it in his eyes, packed up the medicine box and was about to get up to say goodbye, and smiled at her: "There is a new preserved fruit shop on Jiu'an Street, I taste very good, and I will bring some to Niangniang tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, she couldn't help laughing, "The second master is using this palace as a child." ”

He bowed and raised his hand to salute, "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

"If the fruit brought by tomorrow is not as good as what the gentleman said, this palace will punish the sin." She feigned seriousness.

He snorted, "Let the mother deal with it." ”

"Alright, stand down." She raised her hand and smiled.

"The minister retired."

After Ouyang Yu left, Nan Xingcai looked at his back and said, "I never thought that Doctor Ouyang would not tell the truth to his mother." ”

Chun Yunian hooked the corners of his mouth, lifted the slightly hot medicine on the table, frowned and drank it down, "He didn't lie, he just didn't finish his words." Actually, I can guess without saying it, probably because my father is holding the army and not returning. ”

To say that Chun Yu Nian is not too smart, but it can't be said that she is stupid, but this time, she really didn't guess accurately. Not to mention her, even Zhao Huan was caught off guard when Wei Zhang impeached Zhao Cang and He Kuan.

In the morning of this day, there was nothing important after saying some routines, Zhao Huan was about to announce his retirement from the court, and Wei Zhang suddenly came out of the queue and said that there was something to do.

"What's the matter with Wei Qing?" He asked in a deep voice.

"The minister wants to impeach Zhao Cang, the king of Dongcheng, for dereliction of duty and perversion of the law, and for the retainers of He Kuan, the right supervisor of the court lieutenant, for embezzling military funds to enrich their own pockets." Wei Zhanglang said.

Hearing this, everyone in the court was shocked, and He Kuan was especially angry, and said angrily: "What the big priest said, is there any basis? ”

Zhao Huan frowned slightly, glanced at He Kuan, and said coldly: "Wei Qing, don't say anything. ”

Wei Qing knelt down, took out the fold from his arms, and raised it above his head to present it, "The general sent a letter to the minister, the letter listed the evidence of the two people's crimes, and there was a fold, so that the minister could present it to His Majesty." ”

Zhao Huan glanced at the waiter, and the waiter hurriedly went down to get it.

I only heard Wei Zhang's continued generous statement, "Your Majesty, the procurement and escort of grain and grass in the army should be handled by the military department in person, but Zhao Cang entrusted this matter to the He family in Nanyang, which is a dereliction ......of duty."

"King Dongcheng has reported this matter to me in advance," Zhao Huan interrupted him, "The procurement and escort is not completely carried out by the retainers of the He family, and King Dongcheng uses the power of the people to serve the country, how can it be said that it is a dereliction of duty?" ”

Zhao Cang has been dismissed and investigated for poor united front, if he is imprisoned for this matter again, then Dongcheng will definitely fall into chaos, Dongcheng Wang Shizi is only fourteen or fifteen years old, whether he can control Dongcheng is another matter, I am afraid that Dongcheng will be difficult to use for him in the future. What's more, this matter was originally what he meant, in order to hide the fact that there was a force of the Nanyang He clan behind him, Zhao Cang was just his puppet.

Wei Zhang's heart sank, if Zhao Huan knew about this in advance, wouldn't the impeachment of Zhao Cang become a false accusation and slander? Even if he can get away with the responsibility on the grounds of ignorance, but he has wanted to force himself to be a leader for a long time, and now he has sent an excuse. He smiled bitterly in his heart, Ya'an hurt me!

Sure enough, as Wei Chang expected, he only heard Zhao Huan say in a cold tone: "As a great priest, I don't know how to be careful about words and deeds, and I slander the princes and princes without verification, where is the law of the Yong Dynasty?" ”

"The minister is guilty!" Wei Zhangji pleaded guilty.

"Your Majesty—"

Zhao Huan was about to speak, when he heard Chun Yuchuan say: "Although the great priest has the responsibility of negligence, it is also excusable, please forgive Your Majesty." As he spoke, he knelt down and pleaded.

"I beg your Majesty's forgiveness—"

Zhang Mian and others knelt down to plead for mercy. But for Zhao Huan, this is probably the last chance to suppress the Chun Yu clan, and he can't let it go.

He sighed, stepped down from the platform, personally helped Wei Zhang up, and said very regretfully: "I sympathize with Wei Qing for the sake of the country, but the general can't find out about this matter on the front line. Qing has been in addition to the post of chief secretary for more than ten years, and has always shown himself to be discerning, how can he make such a mistake now and end up in a late season? ”

Of course, Wei Zhang also understood the meaning, if he didn't take the initiative to give way, he was afraid that it would not be the evening festival, but his life would be worried.

"The old minister is ignorant," he confessed again, "I wish to let Xian beg Your Majesty to allow the minister to return to his hometown." ”

He lowered his eyes and looked at the person at his feet, and was silent for a long time before he said a good word with difficulty, "I remember Aiqing to work hard for the Yong Dynasty all his life, and give Qing 5,000 and five good horses." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Wei Zhangji bowed.

Zhao Huan snorted and was about to turn around and return to his seat, but was stopped by Wei Zhang, he turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of King Dongcheng is a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister, but He Kuan's matter is indeed witnessed, and the minister can't bear to see such a treacherous person accompany His Majesty, and the minister risked his life to impeach He Kuan!" Wei Zhangyang said.

Zhao Huan's heart sank, if it was said that the matter of Dongcheng Wang was a mistake because Chun Yujia did not guess his relationship with He Kuan, then he was prepared to attack He Kuan.

He frowned and looked at Wei Zhang, "What witness?" ”

"The soldiers who came back from the front line and the retainers of the He family."

Zhao Huan looked at the people on the ground with a gloomy face, and everyone didn't dare to speak rashly, and for a while, the hall was surprisingly quiet, and they could even hear their own heartbeat.

"Xuan." It was a long time before he spoke in a deep voice and turned back to his seat.

"Pronouncing the witness—" The voice of the inner servant came out layer by layer, and after a while, two long and fat men entered the hall.

The two came in and shouted three times to Zhao Huan and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

"Who are you waiting for, and what kind of testimony are you coming?" He said coldly, and didn't let people get up.

"Bai Lin, the captain of the third department, testified about the embezzlement of military funds by the He clan."

"Grass man Zhang Hua, a retainer of the He family."

He looked at the two of them with a solemn face, the captain named Bai Lin looked calm, and the tone of the self-proclaimed retainer of He Kuan's family could not hide his nervousness, "Which one is the master of your family?" He asked in a deep voice.

The man looked left and right, and raised his hand to He Kuan.

"He Kuan, do you know this person?"

He Kuan glanced at the man in disgust, and said coldly, "I know." ”

Zhao Huan turned to look at Bai Lin, "Why do you accuse He Kuan of embezzling military spending?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty," Bai Lin clenched his fists and said in a sonorous tone, "Half of the grain and grass procured and escorted have become moldy and spoiled, and some are even mixed with sediment, and most of the soldiers have dysentery after eating, especially after entering South Vietnam, the deterioration of grain and grass is more serious, but the people of the He family said that South Vietnam is wet, and the grain and grass are only spoiled after that." In a fit of rage, the general arrested He's retainers, and after interrogation, learned that they had enriched themselves in the procurement process. ”

"He Kuan, do you know about this?" Zhao Huan asked.

"I don't know."

"Your Majesty," Ouyang Jie bowed his hand, "This is the personal work of the retainers, how can they do anything to an adult?" If you want to punish, you will also punish these wicked people who have lost their conscience! As he spoke, he glanced coldly at the retainer.

"Your Majesty, how can you listen to anyone's side of this matter?" Chun Yuchuan said in a deep voice.

Ouyang Jie glanced at Chun Yuchuan, he knew that Chun Yuchuan was fair on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly putting pressure on Zhao Huan, so that he could not favor anyone too much.

"Lord Jingzhao, this matter is not a one-sided statement." As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his bosom and held it above his head, "This is the list of medicinal materials purchased by the army due to dysentery and the roster of soldiers who died of dysentery, please take a look at it, Your Majesty!" ”

The chamberlain took the booklet, Zhao Huan read it roughly, and knew that the other party was prepared and would definitely get rid of He Kuan. But Chun Yujiayuan is in the southwest, and he has just abolished Wei Zhang, even if Chun Yuchuan has the ability, he can't help it now. He wants to keep He Kuan, otherwise Chun Yujia will have no chance to return to the court

"He Kuan," he shouted in a deep voice, "what do you explain about this?" ”

He Kuan knelt down and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know about this matter, it must be that these dogs committed something by themselves and blamed Weichen." ”

"Young master, young master, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge," the retainer cried, "Your Majesty, my young master told the little one at that time that people are not rich without windfalls, horses are not rich without night grass, and what wealth can be made without wealth in national disasters." Young master, the little ones are all done according to the young master's orders. Your Majesty Mingjian, Your Majesty Mingjian...... "He kowtows like pounding garlic."

"Zhang Hua, I treated you well in the past, but I didn't take you into Beijing, that is because you have an eighty-year-old mother in your family who is inconvenient to travel far, so you are left in Nanyang, do you want to hate me because of this? I warn you, deceitful is a capital offense! He Kuan roared.

"Your Majesty, the villain is wronged, what the villain said is the truth!"

"Your Majesty, such a villain, slandering Weichen is small, mutilating the pillars of the country is great, and putting the society in danger is great. The minister is willing to make a grass ring for His Majesty for the Yong Dynasty Society, how can he do such a thing that has lost the nine clans of Tianliang Zhulian, I hope Your Majesty will see it! "As he spoke, he couldn't afford to blame it.

Zhao Huan had a gloomy face, looked at Bai Lin and asked, "This person really did move his hands and feet in the grain and grass?" ”

"Yes!"

He took a deep breath and turned to look at the man: "This person embezzled military funds, brutalized soldiers, punished for treason, pushed out, and beheaded!" ”

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged! Wronged! He kowtowed like garlic, cried and went to pull Bai Lin again, "General Bai, General Bai, you said that the small one will let go of the small one, General Bai, help-"

Before the words fell, the guards in front of the hall raised their knives and fell, and blood splashed Bai Lin's body, but he didn't move.

Zhao Huan looked at it coldly, and turned to look at He Kuan, "Whether this matter is true or false, you can't listen to the words of Xin'er and others, even if this matter has nothing to do with you, but it is because of you, and your lack of control will cause such a disaster, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." He was fined for a year, and he thought about it until he found out the truth. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Zhang Mian, you are in charge of this case, and you will leave for Nanhuai tomorrow to find out, there must be no mistake."

Zhang Mian was suddenly named, and couldn't help but be surprised, and was stunned for a moment before he came out to receive the order.

"The chief secretary Kou Zhishi, the court lieutenant went out, the court lieutenant right supervisor thought about it, and the head of the official was vacant. When Nie Yan was in Chengyang, he was the minister of Chengyang, and I wanted to appoint him as the chief secretary, can the secretaries have any objections? ”

The emperor has said it to such an extent, who dares to object? Now the situation is clear, Chun Yu and the emperor each seize power, the emperor's power is in the court, and the power of Chun Yu's is outside the court. In the court, in addition to standing on the emperor's side, I am afraid that there is only one way to die.
