Chapter 205: The Imperial Court
The Great Wall collapsed, and the First Emperor was extremely unhappy, and at this time, Wang Ben stood up, and his intention was already obvious, and the First Emperor was also in trouble for this matter.
Seeing Wang Ben coming out of the ranks, the words came to his lips, like an arrow on the string, and the first emperor couldn't refute his face, and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”
"The minister thinks that there must be a hidden secret in the collapse of the Great Wall in Shangjun." Wang Ben said.
The First Emperor asked, "How do you say this?!" ”
"Now the Xiongnu are close to the frontier and have a great tendency to go south, so the minister dared to guess that the collapse of the Great Wall was caused by man." Wang Ben said pointedly.
Above the court, everyone knows that Wang Ben and the Montessori brothers are at odds, and now that the Great Wall has suddenly collapsed, how can he let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
The First Emperor's eyebrows showed a faint hint of strangeness, the fleeting change in expression was not captured, and after a slight groan, he asked, "Who do you think did it?" ”
Wang Ben shook his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare to speak falsely. ”
"Come on! I forgive you for the innocence of those who speak your word. ”
Wang Ben is waiting for this sentence, Meng Yi is a celebrity around the first emperor, if he impeaches him and angers Yingzheng, it will end up on the ground, Wang Ben wants to impeach the Montessori brothers, but he doesn't want to even take his life.
"I think that this incident is very likely to be the Montessori brothers."
As no one expected, Wang Ben impeached the Montessori brothers, anyway, this is not the first time that the Montessori brothers have been impeached, and now it is just that Wang Ben is more solemn.
"Why?"
The First Emperor asked, any impeachment must be justified, Ying Zheng is not a faint king, will not listen to the words of the family, if there is no good reason, even if he knows that this person is a sinner, but he cannot be convicted.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu once said that as long as Meng Yi went to Shangjun and sent him to battle, King Zuo Xian promised to retreat for a hundred miles and no longer invade the territory of Great Qin within three months." Wang Ben said.
"That's true, but what does that mean?" The First Emperor asked rhetorically, unable to find common ground at all about his brain circuits.
Wang Ben smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "This really doesn't mean anything, but Meng Yi went to Shangjun for a month and a half, and the Xiongnu did not intend to withdraw for a long time, is it the Xiongnu who broke the appointment, or the Mengshi brothers deliberately?" ”
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the First Emperor, and when he heard the meaning of his words, he seemed to have a little meaning, and said, "You should explain it more carefully." ”
"According to the minister's understanding, it is not that the Huns broke the contract, but that Meng Tian did not send Meng Yi to the battlefield for a long time, and Helan Jingde did not see Meng Yi himself, so naturally he would not withdraw his troops." Wang Ben said.
"Go on!"
"Since Meng Yi has gone to Shangjun, as long as Meng Yi goes to the battlefield, the Huns will retreat, however, Meng Tian is reluctant, in the eyes of outsiders, it is a deep love between brothers, but in the eyes of insiders, there is a suspicion of deliberate delay." Wang Ben said forcefully.
Seeing that the First Emperor was in deep thought, Wang Ben glanced at the holy face from the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth were hooked with a touch of arc, and continued: "But why did he do this? The minister thought that he was waiting for an opportunity. ”
"What chance?" The First Emperor asked.
"An opportunity to meet inside and out." Wang Ben said straightly, "The Montessori brothers have created a situation of incompatibility with the enemy on the surface, but behind the scenes, they have colluded with the Xiongnu to prepare to deal a heavy blow to the empire, and the destruction of the Great Wall is the first step. ”
I have to say that Wang Ben's ability to distort the facts is really strong, as eloquent and analytical as he is, he thinks that he has witnessed everything with his own eyes, but he doesn't know that this is just his speculation.
After Wang Ben finished speaking, before the First Emperor finished speaking, several ministers stood up and postscripted: "The minister thinks that what Lord Wang said is extremely true, and this matter must have nothing to do with the man of the Meng family. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
……
The Wang family has great power in the court, and there are naturally not a few courtiers attached to the Wang family, and Wang Ben has already discussed it with them, taking advantage of this time to make such a big fuss, give the Meng family a heavy blow, even if he can't bring the Meng family down, he can break his wings.
The First Emperor saw that many people were seconding Wang Ben's words, which made him very dissatisfied, as a courtier, it is absolutely impossible to form a party for personal gain.
However, Ying Zheng still said calmly: "Meng Yi is the murderer of Helan Jingde's son, do you think Helan Jingde will conspire with his own murderer?" ”
"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, such as Helan Jingde, there must be more than one son under his knees, how could he miss the great opportunity of the Central Plains for such a trivial matter?" Wang Ben said Kankan.
However......
Just as Wang Ben's words fell, Prime Minister Feng Quji also stood up, and he said: "Ridiculous, the hatred of killing a son is not shared, Lord Wang said such words, but it was still said by a father?" ”
"Besides, the above words are all your guesses, so how can they be counted as evidence? The Meng family has been loyal and good for generations, opened up territory for the Great Qin Dynasty, and after death, how can you be framed casually? ”
Fang just heard Wang Ben say it again and again, Feng Quji didn't want to say anything, after all, Wang Ben was the son of Wang Qian's old general, even if he talked nonsense, he would tolerate it.
But Wang Ben and the three of them became tigers, and they didn't see the truth and speculated wantonly, and framed the facts of the speculation to the loyal ministers and good generals in the court, Feng Quji, as the prime minister of the dynasty, had the responsibility to defend the Montessori brothers.
"No, no, the prime minister's words are too biased, the Meng family is loyal and good, but it may not be loyal from generation to generation, as far as I know, Meng Yi and the daughter of the Hun Zuogu Liwang are entangled, and the relationship is very ambiguous, which can't help but make people reminisce." Wang Ben said.
Indeed, Meng Yi and Hermione have always had a good relationship, and although Meng Yi is only a brother and sister to Hermione, it will definitely not be believed by others.
The dignified first beauty of the Huns, will Meng Yi not be moved? Everyone is a man, so naturally they know a lot about men.
"If Lord Wang asserts that the Montessori brothers have different intentions based on this alone, I don't know who is more biased before you and me?" Feng asked rhetorically.
"The Prime Minister protects the Meng family so much, is it because he has received the benefits of the Meng family?" Wang Ben sneered.
Feng Qujian is upright, but he is also an old stubborn, and the most important thing is his personal reputation, and now Wang Ben said that he accepted benefits, which was undoubtedly an insult to him, but seeing Feng Quji's old face flushed, he said angrily: "Wang Ben! What nonsense are you talking about, I am the prime minister, and it is my duty to uphold justice, but I can't allow you to frame me. ”
At this time, without waiting for Wang Ben to refute, the court court Zhonglang Ling Bai Yifei stood up and said: "The prime minister really dares to speak out, do you mean to keep speaking for the Meng family?" Dare to ask Your Majesty and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, do they ever think that you are upholding justice? ”
"Prime Minister, don't explain, favoritism is partiality, the more you explain, the more I will understand." The servant stood up and said.
The topic was originally aimed at the Montessori brothers, but because Feng Quji said a few more words for the two brothers, it attracted many people to chase and intercept them, and for a while, Feng Quji became the target of public criticism.
The old prime minister couldn't stand others saying that he was bending the law for personal gain and deliberately favoring anyone, which was a stain on his innocence, and he saw that Feng Qu's heart attack was almost committed.
"You ...... You ......"
Feng Qujian pointed at them, looking at their faces, and finally couldn't get angry, only to feel a black in front of him, and he fainted in the court.
"It's not good, the old prime minister fainted." Someone said.
The First Emperor didn't expect Feng Quji's ability to bear it so poorly, he definitely knew Feng Quji, and he couldn't be more clear about the old prime minister's behavior.
However, Feng Quji was stunned by several juniors.
The First Emperor hurriedly shouted: "Come on, quickly send the prime minister to the Tai Hospital." ”
A ridiculous court farce made the serious and solemn court meeting seem so child's play, the dignified prime minister was stunned by a few juniors, and it was rumored that he was laughed out of his big teeth.
After Feng Quji was sent down, the First Emperor's face was very ugly, his eyes swept over the ministers, and finally fell on Wang Ben and others, and said unhappily: "Wang Ben, I forgive you for your innocence, but I don't want you to laugh at others in the court." ”
"The minister is guilty, but what the minister said is unreasonable, the old prime minister is obviously partial to the Meng family, and the ministers of the court and the central government have all witnessed it, and they are not the minister's words." Wang Ben said.
Feng Quji's words are indeed a little biased towards the Meng family, but Ying Zheng knows that he is a person, and he has never been right about things and not people, and he feels that the Meng brothers have been wronged, so he naturally will not sit idly by.
"Wang Ben, do you really think I'm a fool? A few of you are obviously deliberately targeting the old prime minister, do you really think I can't see it? ”
"Your Majesty, in fact, ......"
"That's enough, I let you speak freely, but I don't let you do whatever you want, this is a court, not your market, if you dare to target the old prime minister again, be careful that I am not polite to you." The First Emperor said domineeringly.
"Yes, the minister knows that he is wrong."
Wang Ben also took the initiative to admit his mistakes, and the first emperor couldn't say anything, after all, he was Wang Qian's son, and the face of the old general Wang still had to be given, and the Wang family could be regarded as making great contributions to the empire, and they must not chill the hearts of the old ministers.
At this time, the First Emperor said, "As for Shangjun, since you said that there is a problem with the Montessori brothers, then well, I will order you to go to Shangjun to investigate this matter thoroughly." ”
"Command!"
After hearing Yingzheng's words, Wang Ben was overjoyed and let himself check, isn't it equivalent to pushing the Montessori brothers into the fire pit, Wang Ben and the Montessori brothers are not compatible, this is a well-known thing.
……
After the court meeting dispersed, the eunuch beside the First Emperor kindly asked: "Your Majesty, you know that Lord Wang and the Meng family brothers are not compatible, but you prefer to send them to Shangjun, aren't you afraid that Lord Wang will take the opportunity to frame the Meng family?" ”
Ying Zheng stood on the nine-story platform, looking at the entire imperial city, with his hands behind his back, with a posture of dominating the world, he sneered: "I'm afraid that Wang Ben will not return this time, haha!" ”
