Chapter 364 Impeachment
Outside the martial arts gate of Lin'an City, five hundred guards of the Imperial City Division with helmets and armor and a solemn face ran in the direction of the city under the leadership of Li Heng.
With the sound of neat footsteps and the momentum of slaughter entering the Wulin Gate, in an instant, the people, tourists, etc. on both sides of the road all dodged left and right in a panic to make way for these five hundred people.
The original lively and cheerful atmosphere of the Flower Dynasty Festival was instantly covered by a trace of tension and solemn mystery, as five hundred jailers passed by, the people on both sides of the road began to look at each other, and they all whispered, could it be that something big was going to happen in the imperial court? Could it be related to this year's palace exam?
The gossip began to spread rapidly in the streets and alleys of Lin'an City, and as the jailers quickly approached Qinghefang, most of Lin'an City seemed to have become solemn and nervous.
Zhong Qing, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and glanced at the guards outside with an anxious expression, Fang Xin, who was already a little nervous, jumped even more at this time, as if the carriage was slower, it would jump out of the chest directly.
And above the court, because Ye Qing's will to be appointed as Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple had just been read by Wang Deqian, it immediately attracted the opposition of some courtiers, including Yin Sui, who supervised the imperial history.
Naturally, it has been circulating since the first day of the Flower Dynasty Festival, and the affair between Ye Qing, the top name in this year's provincial test, and his sister-in-law was said by Yin Sui in public.
As Yin Sui's words landed, there was an uproar in the court and discussions.
At this time, even Zhao Yan couldn't help frowning, if what Yin Sui said was true, then today's Ye Qing, the leader of Dali Temple, and the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he would have to withdraw it and discuss it again.
Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, had a relaxed smile on his face, and he had nothing to do with himself with a hint of schadenfreude, he expected that someone would attack Ye Qing above the court today, but he didn't expect it to be Yin Sui, this person from the Duke of Wei openly impeached Ye Qing.
Wang Huai, Liang Kejia and others all frowned, but no one stood up to question Yin Sui, what evidence did he have for impeaching Ye Qing and his sister-in-law?
Everyone was waiting for Zhao Yan to make a decision, or waiting for Ye Qing to give a reasonable explanation.
But I also have to admit that the timing chosen by Yin Sui can be said to be just right, and even the rumors that appeared on the Flower Dynasty Festival were more timely and appropriate than the four fortunate events in life.
Above the court, all the officials and courtiers know what this means, if it is really as Yin Sui said, Ye Qing and his sister-in-law are not innocent, and the two have an affair, then Ye Qing will not be famous in the world today by taking advantage of the provincial test.
It will become because of the prestige of the provincial test and the prestige of the palace test, and from then on he will be ruined, become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats, and become a typical example of violating human ethics and ethics, and everyone can spit on it.
Now everything he has will disappear immediately, even if he is the commander of the Imperial City Division, even if he has the support of the Emperor Taishang behind him, it will not help, no one can save him.
After all, how could the Emperor Taishang be against the world's ethics and morality and all the humanities in the world because of him?
What's more, how can a person with a bad heart and an adulterous person with his sister-in-law become a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty?
"Ye Qing, what do you say?" Zhao Yan listened loudly
In the hall, all the courtiers and scholars were talking and asked in a deep voice.
Ye Qing's gaze swept over everyone in the main hall one by one, whether it was a courtier with a peaceful smile on his face, or a scholar with a gloating face, they all had a face on their faces at this time, all waiting to see how he would answer the words of the saint today.
The last gaze stayed on Yin Sui's face with a sense of justice, and he slowly spoke: "Supervising the imperial history is that there has never been any need to bear any responsibility, even if it is wrong to impeach others, it will be wrong, and it can't even be talked about slander, let alone whether they have evidence in their hands, in fact, as long as they go to the big tile or the martial arts gate to take a turn, or sit in a teahouse or wine shop to drink kung fu tea for an afternoon, then the rumors and rumors about who you want to impeach are probably all together." Isn't it Lord Yin? ”
"The old man never does anything to catch the wind and catch shadows, and you don't have to supervise the performance of the imperial history, just laugh at the old man with one mouth. The old man has been supervising the imperial history for many years, and he relies on a mouth to clear the shameless people of my Great Song Dynasty, not to mention your indifferent comments, that is, some people say that the old man and the dog lift the door curtain all rely on one mouth, and the old man can face it calmly. So Ye Qing, let me ask you, between you and your sister-in-law, do you dare to say that it is really innocent? Is there no clarity or innocence? When Ye Qing's gaze looked at him, Yin Sui had already taken two steps forward, and his face was solemn.
"If I say that this is a private matter, I have nothing to say, I don't know what Yin Yushi will think?" Ye Qing didn't seem flustered at all, at least in Zhao Yan's opinion, if what Yin Sui said was true, Ye Qing should never be as calm as he is now.
"If you didn't participate in the imperial examination, then the old man would never impeach you, because you are not a minister of my Great Song Dynasty, but if you participated in the imperial examination, participated in the provincial examination and the palace examination, and now you are the top in high school, and you were given the position of Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple by the Holy Lord on the spot, then Lord Ye's private affairs cannot be just private matters. If you can't do the least self-cultivation, how to be a good parent official for the people of the world, and how to be in the position of Zuo Shaoqing in Dali Temple, and judge the case impartially? Yin Sui obviously came prepared, or perhaps as a superintendent of the imperial history, he has a good note, and his words are clear and reasonable.
"Then Yin Yushi has any evidence?" Ye Qing raised his head and moved his neck, then looked at Yin Sui and continued to ask.
"Naturally, there is evidence, the maid Yang Liu in Lord Ye's mansion, I think such a person is enough, right?" Yin Sui sneered, looked at Ye Qing and asked.
Ye Qing was about to speak, when he heard King Xin suddenly speak: "Ye Qing, are you still going to continue to quibble in front of the saints, in front of the world's scholars and many courtiers?" Yin Yushi has always been upright, and he has never slandered or slandered any courtier, so how can he be embarrassed by you? ”
Smiling and glancing at King Xin, after glancing at the righteous and awe-inspiring Yin Sui, Ye Qing slowly turned around and saluted Zhao Yan, and then said solemnly: "Back to the saint, I am afraid that the words of the minister's family will be difficult to convince all colleagues and scholars in the world, not to mention that this remark is related to the reputation of the minister for a lifetime." Therefore, the minister wanted to ask the saint to summon a noble person into the temple to wash away the grievances of the minister. ”
"Ye Qing, how long do you have to quibble, even if someone is willing to speak for you, do you think that the saint and the world's scholars, as well as many colleagues, will believe it? Who knows if this person will be the one you were ready to quibble for you?
Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, stepped forward and said with an angry face.
"Then if it is according to the meaning of the king, that is, whether I can show evidence or not, this is a fact and cannot be changed whether my sister-in-law is innocent or not? So what are you asking me for? Can you just say it? Ye Qing tried a new wide robe for the palace today, and he was not used to the wide sleeves, so he shook it back and forth a few times and asked rhetorically.
"You...... Quibble....... King Xin stretched out his finger and pointed at Ye Qing, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"Qi Qi Sheng, if Ye Qing has to find a witness to clear his name for him about the minister's impeachment of him, the minister will also ask the saint to summon Yang Liu, the maid of Ye Qing's family, to the court to confront the so-called noble person who can prove his innocence in Ye Qing's mouth." Yin Sui quickly glanced at King Xin, and saluted to Zhao Yan.
"It's just a maid, there is no need to confront her, she is not qualified to confront someone who can prove my innocence. By the way, Master Yin, I forgot something, I want to ask you, how did you know my maid? Are you looking for her, or are she looking for you? Does she recognize you as the overseer of the imperial history? Or do you know her as my maid? When I was cruising on the West Lake, I was far away and saw two white flowers...... I don't know whose body it is, anyway, when my maid came back that day, the clothes were quite neat or something, but the hairpin was missing, do you know where it fell? Ye Qing suddenly smiled evilly and asked Yin Sui rhetorically.
And with Ye Qing's rhetorical question, not only Zhao Yan was stunned, but King Xin, the courtiers, and the scholars were all stunned, and they reacted instantly: Yes, Yin Sui can't know about it for no reason, and listening to Yin Sui's words just now, it is obvious that he already knew, but it was because Ye Qing was not promoted, so he was not impeached.
But...... How did he know the maid in Ye Qing's house? How could a little maid know a superintendent who has been an official in the court for many years?
"You...... You are spewing blood and talking nonsense, and you want to bite me back? Ye Qing, it doesn't matter how I know your maid, what matters is whether the innocence between you and your sister-in-law is true? Do you dare to answer in front of the saints in front of the courtiers and the world's gentlemen that you and your sister-in-law are innocent? Yin Sui was shocked, but fortunately, he hadn't lost his mind yet, and he didn't follow Ye Qing's way, and soon turned the topic to Ye Qing and Bai Chun.
"Don't dare." Ye Qing blurted out without thinking, and then looked at the gloating sneer on the faces of King Xin and the others, and said coldly: "Because I Ye Qing doesn't have a sister-in-law, how can I be innocent with my sister-in-law?" But you seduced my maid ....... ”
"Sophistry, that's your maid seducing the old man to visit the West Lake with ......." Yin Sui stood on the spot for an instant, and when he heard Ye Qing say that he didn't dare, he instantly wanted to laugh out loud, but when he heard Ye Qing say that he didn't have a sister-in-law, he was about to refute angrily, so when Ye Qing said that he seduced the maid, Yin Sui immediately retorted without thinking about it.
The needles in the hall can be heard, even if it is Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, is full of regret and frustration at the moment, just a little, almost can put Ye Qing in the world without a place to hide, but at this critical moment, how can Yin Sui, an old fool, easily relax his vigilance?
has been an official for many years, and as a superintendent of imperial history, he should be thoughtful and dexterous, how could he be so careless and fall for Ye Qing. (https:)
