Above the court.

Before the dispersal of the dynasty, the hall was once again at an impasse.

Led by Shi Shenzheng, more than a dozen officials who were important in their lives stood up and launched the impeachment of many powerful people in Beijing.

The first to stand up was also stunned, not expecting the current situation at all.

He looked back, as if he realized something, and looked at Tang Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, not far away, with a different color flashing in his eyes.

When no one came forward to impeach again, the officials had already roughly clarified the cause and effect of the matter.

These impeachments, in fact, can be roughly classified into three things.

The first is that some powerful people in the capital, after King Kang gained power, were indeed too arrogant, lawless, and prey on the common people, committing public anger, which attracted the impeachment of the imperial history and courtiers.

The second case is Xu Cheng, the servant of the Criminal Department, who shielded these people, so that the people have nowhere to redress their grievances and have nowhere to complain.

The last one is because after some excerpts of impeachment were handed to Shangshu Province, they were lost in the sea and there was no news of them, and the spearhead of this matter was pointed at some officials in Shangshu Province.

If these three things are linked, it is a great deal, and even the Criminal Department and Shangshu Province have been infiltrated, which is not only for the common people, but also for the court.

Emperor Chen sat above, the expression on his face could not be seen to be happy or angry, he looked at Xu Cheng, the servant of the Criminal Department, and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Xu Cheng's face was a little pale, and it was naturally impossible to admit it at this time, so he forced himself to calm down: "The minister has no protection and protection, please Your Majesty Mingjian!" ”

Emperor Chen thought for a while and said: "Since there are so many people impeached, the waiter of the Criminal Department will be temporarily suspended, Song Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, will self-examine the Criminal Department, supplemented by the Imperial Historical Observatory, if there are people who are lawless, prey on the common people, or do things that protect and shield, they will not be tolerated!" ”

"Yes!"

The Criminal Department Shangshu and the Imperial Doctor said in unison.

The early dynasty dispersed, and the hundred officials walked out of the hall with different expressions.

No one expected that there would be such a big shock in the morning today.

After King Duan was depressed, King Kang was prosperous in the court, and the scene just now undoubtedly gave him a blow to the head.

Jingbian Marquis, Yanping Marquis and others, which one is not his vassal, this time, if the impeachment of everyone is implemented, even if it does not involve King Kang, it will be an extremely heavy blow to him.

There is no doubt that this is another indirect contest between Duanwang and Kangwang, but Duanwang, who has always been at a disadvantage, finally made a good move this time.

If the impeachment is successful this time, the losses suffered by King Kang will be immeasurable, and the court may have to return to the balance of power between the two kings.

Goshidai.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng looked at the servant Shi Shen Zheng, his face was shocked, and asked, "Lord Shen, such a big matter, why don't you discuss it with us?" ”

Fang was just above the court, led by the imperial history, and everyone attacked King Kang's family in groups, Shen Zheng's role is not small, and those who don't know may think that this matter is a blow to King Kang from Yushitai.

Doctor Yu Shi walked in and said, "I'm afraid that those who are behind this matter have not consulted with Lord Shen. ”

Shen Zheng bowed to the Imperial Doctor and said, "The old man is stupid and has caused trouble to the Imperial Historian." ”

"It's not too much of a hassle." Doctor Yushi waved his hand and said: "If no one stands up at the Imperial Historical Observatory, I am afraid that in a few days, the crime of negligence will be indispensable, and Your Majesty will also be disappointed in the Imperial Historical Observatory, if you don't stand up, someone else will have to come forward." ”

Yu Shi Zhongcheng stepped forward and said, "But in this way, wouldn't we offend King Kang severely?" ”

"It is the duty of the Imperial Historical Observatory to supervise hundreds of officials and magnates and play things that others dare not play, so how can you offend them?" Doctor Yu Shi's expression was indifferent, and he said: "It's not terrible to offend King Kang, if Your Majesty feels that Yu Shitai is no different from ordinary officials in the court, it is the most terrible thing." ”

He looked at Yushi Zhongcheng and said, "Don't be in a hurry to stand in line, you must know that it is not King Duan or King Kang above our heads, but Your Majesty ......"

King Kang's Mansion.

"Yushitai, what does Yushitai want to do!" King Kang, who had just returned to the house, was furious, and neither the strategists nor his subordinates dared to approach.

A person hurriedly walked in from the outside and said, "Your Highness, the Marquis of Jingbian and the Marquis of Yanping are waiting at the back door, asking to see Your Highness......

"Nope!" King Kang waved his hand violently and said, "The trouble they caused by themselves should be cleaned up by themselves, if it is because they have mistaken this king, this king will not spare them!" ”

A strategist stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, you can't help but see, the Marquis of Jingbian and the Marquis of Yanping, no matter how you say it, are loyal to Your Highness, if Your Highness ignores them at this time, I am afraid that we will lose the hearts of the people, besides, if something happens to them, we will also lose a lot of help......

King Kang turned around suddenly: "You mean to let this king interfere?" ”

The man nodded and said, "With His Highness's current status, he only needs to move around a little, although he can't eliminate this matter and make it invisible, but it can reduce the impact......"

"Never!" Before he could finish his sentence, a middle-aged man stood up.

The middle-aged man looked at King Kang and said solemnly: "Your Highness, this matter is by no means accidental, someone must be planning behind it, in my opinion, they must have a back-up move, if His Highness personally takes action, he will fall into the quagmire, and he will no longer be able to retreat." ”

"Mr. Xu is right." King Kang thought carefully, nodded, and said: "This king has climbed to today's position with great difficulty, and he must not risk his ...... and come to tell the Marquis of Jingbian and the Marquis of Yanping that they will solve the matter they caused by themselves!" ”

There is a risk in entering, and he loses people's hearts, he didn't expect him to fall into a dilemma, King Kang's face showed resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Tang family, it must be the Tang family!" ”

Tang family.

Tang Qi breathed a long sigh of relief and muttered: "The bureau has been set up, it depends on whether King Kang retreats or advances, I hope he will advance, but according to King Kang's temperament, he will definitely choose to protect himself......"

Tang Huai picked up the teacup and put it down, and said: "Whether he is retreating or advancing, Your Majesty knows it in his heart, what I'm worried about is that if we set up a bureau for King Kang, why don't we get into someone else's bureau, what is the purpose of the person who set up the bureau......"

……

Tang Ning is preparing a medicine, according to the old beggar, after taking this medicine, people will enter a state of suspended animation, he has recently learned a lot of strange formulas, and he can discuss with Xiao Jue if he has the opportunity.

"Today in the court, the Marquis of Yanping and the servants of the Criminal Department were impeached, and the father ordered the Criminal Department and the Imperial Historical Observatory to strictly investigate......" Zhao Man walked in from outside and asked, "This matter has something to do with you, right?" ”

Tang Ning looked back at her and said, "It's a little bit of a relationship...... ”

"Although you are smart, but above the court, there are intrigues and tricks everywhere, as long as you make a mistake once, you may lose everything......" Zhao Man looked at him and said: "In the future, you still have to be careful, don't think about everything on yourself." ”

"I see, thank you princess for the reminder." Tang Ning thanked her for her kind advice, and when he looked at her again, his expression was slightly stunned, and he asked, "What's wrong with the princess's hand?" ”

She had a white veil wrapped around her left index finger, and there were obvious shallow scars on her hands, and she didn't have to cook, embroider, or do any rough work, so it was strange to have a wound on her hand.

"It's nothing, I accidentally got hurt." Zhao Man retracted his hand back into his sleeve and said, "I'll go back." ”

Tang Ning watched her walk out of the yard, shook his head, and turned back to continue dispensing medicine.

Penal Department.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at the files piled up on the table, rubbed his eyebrows, and looked helpless.

The cases seized by Xu Cheng are piled up here, but it is not easy to investigate them one by one, because there are too many powerful people involved, and I am afraid that there will be unimaginable resistance among them.

Even if he is the secretary of the criminal department, he feels that this is a hot potato.

He opened a file, and a small official knocked on the door and came in, saying, "My lord, Master Tang has returned to the government." ”
