December 1st, the Great Pilgrimage.

The Xuanzheng Hall is majestic, solemn and solemn, the Son of Heaven ascends to the throne, the drums are ringing in unison, and the officials kneel down to congratulate, and the salute is like a ceremony.

The eight years of Da Zheng Fengle are coming to an end, and the important ministers headed by Prime Minister Wei Yishen summarized and reported to Shi Fangzhen, the son of heaven, in turn, and thousands of words converged into a central idea: In the eight years of Da Zheng Fengle, under the leadership of the son of Yingming, all industries are prosperous, hundreds of officials are diligent in their duties, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the whole country is happy, peaceful and stable.

The achievements are outstanding, and the contradictions are insignificant. Shi Fang really knew that these courtiers were talking nonsense in a serious way, but after listening to the voice of praise and virtue a lot, he couldn't help but be drunk and intoxicated, and the more he listened, the more true he felt, and the data and facts were placed in front of him, and no one could help but believe it.

The time was about to pass, Shi Fang was really a little tired, and the dust in the hand of Liu Weiguo, who was standing, shook off the dust three times in a row, sending a signal to the officials, to make a long story short, talk less nonsense, the Son of Heaven is tired.

The signal was received, and the Taifu Siqing finished the report in a few words, and the next process was much faster, less than a pillar of incense, all the reports were completed, and the court was quiet.

Liu Weiguo smiled with satisfaction, and shouted in a long voice: "There is nothing to retreat from." ”

"Slowly, the minister has a book". From the tail of the court class, a light crimson official robe, a five-grade official, was inconspicuous in the purple and red of the Manchu Dynasty. Waiting for this person to walk to the front of the stairs, Liu Weiguo's brows furrowed carelessly, and Li Mingyi was in the imperial history.

The Great Zheng official system, in addition to the prime minister in charge of government affairs, has six ministries and nine secretaries. The six departments are the Ministry of Rites, Officials, Households, Criminals, Workers, and Soldiers; Jiuqing is divided into five temples and three supervisors, and the five temples are Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taifu Temple, and Sinong Temple; The three eunuchs refer to the Guozi Prison, the Qintian Prison, and the Shaofu Prison; One is the Imperial Historical Observatory.

The Imperial History Observatory has set up a doctor of the Imperial History, from the three grades of the staff, two of the Zhongcheng, and the five grades, serving the imperial history and supervising the imperial history. The Imperial Historical Observatory has many responsibilities, and the most important two are frightening, one is to impeach hundreds of officials, which can be impeached according to rumors, and impeachment does not have to be reported to the chief first, but also the chief and colleagues in the stage, which can be said to be a hundred taboos; The second is to push the prison of punishment, and the criminal department, and Dali Temple together called the three law divisions.

As the saying goes, "night owls don't come when they enter the house", Shi Fangzhen also had a headache when he saw the imperial historians.

"The ministers participated in the Renzhou Qing War so that Yu Zhijie connived at his subordinates, persecuted the gentry, made a great deal of unjust imprisonment, looted money, and filled his pockets, causing the people to be displaced, and it is rumored that Jiang Anyi ......; Lingzhou Qing made Yu Guanghui engage in private affairs, colluded with the Lin family in Lingzhou, and Lin Yizhen, the deputy envoy of the Qing War, ......; The Qing War in Louzhou made Qi Wenyuan act reluctantly, lazy in eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and did not want to forge ahead, and his subordinate Zhang Zhicheng forced several lives to death......"

Li Mingyi generously stated, Shi Fangzhen listened with a smile at first, his father taught him since he was a child, his words cannot be blocked, no matter how ugly he is, he must listen to it, and if he listens to it, he will be clear. Slowly, Shi Fangzhen's smile stiffened, and finally turned into Tie Qing.

is tolerable, which is unbearable, the three Qing war envoys, together with their subordinates, did not miss a single one, and they all became the people who brought disaster to the country and the people in Li Mingyi's mouth. This is clearly because Yu Zhijie and others are able to clear the fields and acres, which stung some people, and they made excuses to jump out and oppose it.

After Li Mingyi finished speaking, no one in the court answered, and it was terrifyingly quiet.

Shi Fangzhen glanced at Liu Xinming, the matter involved two servants in the household department, and this household secretary who has always protected his shortcomings actually did not say a word. Shi Fangzhen sneered, it seems that the Li family and the Liu family have joined forces, and I don't know who else has joined forces with them.

Shi Fangzhen was like an enraged beast, glancing viciously at His Highness's ministers.

Wei Yishen sighed secretly, in advance, the Li family, the Liu family, the Liu family and other families had approached him and asked him to put pressure on the Son of Heaven on behalf of the Wei family in the court, but Wei Yishen refused. He knows very well the temperament of today's son, he is in a hurry, and he would rather bend than bend, Li Mingyi's words just now are actually slapping the face of the Son of Heaven, who is the most heartfelt in the battle for the fields, is the son of today, Yu Zhijie and others are just acting for the Son of Heaven.

Wei Yishen sat quietly on the embroidered dragon pier, it involved his grandson and the interests of the Wei family, of course he would not sit idly by, but he saw that the Son of Heaven was looking at him and delayed, and at this time he said that the Son of Heaven would not listen to it, so it was better to see the development of the situation first.

"Hey, hey, hey", Shi Fang's real laughter was like an invisible cold wind blowing through the court, laughing so that people's hearts were mad, and their bodies were cold.

Chrysostom Yuyan sounded in the hall, "I just heard from Zhuqing that my Dazheng wind and rain are smooth, the country and the people are safe, and I am overjoyed, and in the blink of an eye, in the mouth of this Li Yushi, my Dazheng Jiangshan has become a people's livelihood again, and the wind and rain are shaking, you say, who should I believe?" ”

The words full of coercion exploded in the sky above the main hall, causing Li Mingyi's eyes to dazzle and tremble like dead leaves in the wind. His eyes swept to both sides, and those colleagues who had sworn to speak up for justice avoided his gaze for help one by one, staring at the gold bricks under their feet.

Liu Xinming knew that if he didn't stand up for Li Mingyi at this time, the family would be defeated in this battle. I'm afraid that this son of heaven will not stop after tasting the sweetness, and the next step is to gradually reduce the power in the hands of the family, and the family will gradually weaken into an ordinary family and cease to exist.

"Long live, Li Yushi is not denying the great Zheng Guotai and the people's peace, the old minister listened to him and said that the Qing war made the originally peaceful world have some chaos. Li Yushi's personality is obvious to all, upright, loyal to the country, and will never intentionally frame anyone. As a royal history, it is his duty to listen to the wind and do things, so why bother to be responsible, blocking the way of speech. Liu Xinming was not in a hurry and played calmly.

Li Mingyi hurriedly said: "Long live, the minister is indeed out of public intentions, and he has not targeted anyone on the investigation of the imperial history in the three states, as for whether it is true or false, please send someone to identify it." ”

A few ministers next to him stood up at the right time to support them, "The ministers have also heard some bad rumors, and they also ask the Holy Lord to send someone to find out", "The minister seconded the proposal", "The minister seconded the proposal".

The sound of "the minister seconded the proposal" rang out, and half of the courtiers stood up. The family's counterattack began, and this counterattack came towards the clear field.

Shi Fangzhen was so angry that his face turned pale, and he said that there were "Ze Party" and "Zhang Party" in the court, and in my opinion, these two parties were trivial matters, and the Shijia Party was really the real enemy.

The court became a vegetable market, the ministers blamed the Qing Dynasty, the Son of Heaven's face was pale, gritted his teeth and said nothing, accumulating anger, the great eunuch Liu Guowei saw that the sleeves of the Son of Heaven were shaking slightly, knowing that the Son of Heaven was extremely angry.

Wei Yishen didn't expect that today's attack would be so loud, when today's temper is getting stronger and stronger, when he has a seizure, I'm afraid that people's heads will roll to the ground. The family is powerful, and this strength should not be manifested in the court and the Son of Heaven, but in secret.

angered the Son of Heaven, both sides were defeated, the family was not protected, and the country was unstable.

Thinking of this, Wei Yishen stood up, glanced sharply at the ministers who were stammering his ears, and said majestically: "Where is the supervision of the imperial history, what kind of system is the chaos above the court, and the court is not rectified." ”

The four superintendents rushed out and reorganized the ministers, and Li Mingyi stood there, neither advancing nor retreating, which was extremely embarrassing.

When the silence in the hall was restored, Wei Yishen faced the Son of Heaven, bowed and said: "After Banzai ordered the Qing War to be piloted, the minister also ordered the clan to check himself, and he didn't know if he didn't check, over the years, the Wei family had actually encroached on more than 3,125 hectares of land in various names. As the patriarch of the Wei clan, the minister is guilty of negligence and connivance, please long live the crime. ”

Wei Yishen's move was on behalf of the Wei family firmly on the side of the Son of Heaven, Liu Xinming and others looked at Wei Xiang in shock, not knowing what the idea of this scheming prime minister was, and a feeling of being betrayed arose in everyone's hearts.

Shi Fang is really long, and the old man who was originally unpleasant has become so cute, and the Wei family is still with me at a critical time. With the support of the Wei family, the Shi family and the Wang family are my own family, and the Huang family, the Lin family, and the Cui family are neutral, and I only need to face the Liu family, the Lu family, the Li family, and the Liu family, and the odds of victory have greatly increased.

"Actually, my heart is like a mirror, my Da Zheng is not as peaceful as Zhu Qing said, but it is by no means like Li Yushi's mouth can be pushed down, and it can't be talked about for thousands of generations, but it is not a problem for me to pass it on to the next generation, as for what will happen to the Jiangshan Sheji if I die, I can't care about it. Ladies and gentlemen, the lord and the dead ministers remain the same, but if you change someone to be the emperor, you will still be your officials, even if you are not surnamed Shi in this world, you can at most change your master and continue to be your loyal ministers. ”

Shi Fangzhen's words were like knives, and even Wei Yishen couldn't sit still, and the ministers knelt on the ground, even calling "the ministers are a capital crime", Li Mingyi was already frightened by the words of the Son of Heaven and fainted.

"I ask myself if I am not a faint king, don't worry, I will not blame Zhu Qing, it is this Li Yushi", Shi Fangzhen was stunned, and said sarcastically: "I will not blame him, the imperial history is heard, no matter what his intentions are, so that some people will say that I will block the way of speech." Get up. ”

"Long live the Holy Wisdom."

After reaping a loud sycophant, Shi Fangzhen's face improved a little, and he said in a slow tone: "Shengming is not Shengming, it is not said by mouth. Li Mingyi's performance is true, but he did not distinguish the root causes, for example, Jiang Anyi won a county order, a county commander, and a deputy envoy during the Qing war, but he did not collect money and fabricate charges, but these people were corrupt and perverted the law and obstructed the Qing war; Besides, Zhang Zhicheng forced people to die, how did these people die, they embezzled the land and refused to retreat, and finally sold the old with the old, and forced each other with death, don't think that I am deaf and blind, can't I see or hear? ”

The more Shi Fangzhen spoke, the more angry he became, his voice became louder again, and he angrily reprimanded: "My civil and military generals, on weekdays, are full of loyalty and patriotism, but secretly they are desperately trying to get money from their own homes, digging the corners of the country, and the skin is not attached to the hair, don't you know? actually sent a killer to commit murder, Jiang Anyi was ambushed and almost died, Zhang Liangkuan was forced to commit suicide, Zhang Zhicheng overturned and broke his arm for no reason, who did all this, do you think I am a fool to be bullied? ”

Shi Fangzhen knows the situation in the three states well, but it has not touched the fundamental interests of the court, and Shi Fangzhen does not want to tear his face for these ministers and the family. Today, Li Mingyi came forward on behalf of the family to comprehensively deny his great cause of clearing the war, so that he was full of anger and vented desperately.

The thunder was furious, and Li Mingyi, who had just woken up, simply fainted again.
