Chapter 183: Repaying Grievances with Virtue?

However, Cui Jing knows that stealing official seals is much more serious than forcibly seizing "people's fat and people's ointment". Cui Jing also knows what his backstage is, and at this time, he is weighing the pros and cons. His backstage is Qinghe Cui's family, and the world will shake if he moves. Not only that, but the Qinghe Cui clan also has backers in the court, so the small palace servant Yushi also dares to resist those military generals at the level of the national prince.

But Cui Jing can't represent the Cui family, otherwise he wouldn't be a small imperial history. And who is on the other side, it is Xu Qing, the most dazzling new star in the court at the moment, is it worth it to die with him like this? Needless to say, Xu Qing suffered the most reputation, and he was dismissed at most. After weighing the pros and cons in the end, Cui Jing decided to do what the person behind him asked and stumbled.

He asked, "Does Lord Xu have to frame me?" ”

Xu Qing made a vomit and said: "What kind of official are you, I still want to frame you, you think too highly of yourself." ”

Cui Jing was stunned for a moment, could it be that this is the person behind the blame? Cui Jing couldn't make up his mind, he tried to ask: "Lord Xu, you have lost your official seal, and this sentence will be added to the article of impeachment of you by this official." ”

Xu Qing returned: "When did I say that it was the official seal?" Isn't it Lord Cui, yo! ”

Bah, this Xu Qing gave me a sleeve again! Cui Jing couldn't help but feel dizzy in his head, he was thinking, he has been an official for more than ten years, since the former Sui, I have cultivated so much, why is it that in front of Xu Qing, the Tao is all gone?

He shook his head and said, "Lord Xu, don't get involved in other topics, let's talk about your occupation of coal." Now, you're not going to admit it? ”

"A manly man stands up to the sky, I Xu Qing must be responsible for one thing to the end, but the clean person is self-purifying, what account do I recognize?" Xu Qing didn't wait for Cui Jing to say more, so he said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged." As we all know, now that the weather is warmer, there is no need for charcoal fires. It snowed a few days ago, and I went to Chang'ancang to ask for charcoal, but he didn't send a pound and a half taels. Okay, I'm Xu Qing endured, anyway, the weather is fine, and it's okay to burn some firewood. ”

"That's one thing, I can't afford to grab the coals and use them for heating. In fact, the charcoal is useless to the micro-ministers, everyone knows that the charcoal is poisonous, how can I use it for my own soldiers? It's ridiculous! Xu Qing arched his hand again and said: "Such a clumsy lie, please the emperor to be clear, please be aware of it!"

After finishing speaking, Cui Jing was speechless, Xu Qing was really good-tongued! makes Cui Jing feel that he has been betrayed now, and he came to impeach Xu Qing, isn't he playing a lantern in the thatched house and looking for death? No way...... Cui Jing thought that he would die with Xu Qing, but he didn't expect that he was going to be defeated.

At this time, another official stood up, pointed at Cui Jing and scolded: "Cui Jing, everyone in the court knows that Lord Xu is a loyal and sensitive minister, why are you making such remarks to slander him now, what is your intention?" ”

Xu Qing looked over, but he didn't recognize him, he saw him in a green robe, and he didn't know why he wanted to speak for himself. Cui Jing knelt down at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of capital crimes......"

Li Yuan and the eunuch beside him muttered, and the eunuch drank: "Strike Cui Jing's imperial history, take away all the rewards from the past, and be reduced to white ding!" ”

In an uproar, the court was demoted, and even if it was punished by three levels, if the big official was punished, he would be promoted to one level, and then seize the power and send it home. If the penalty is heavier, it will be cut in half. Thinking like this, it is really rare to take away all the rewards in the past and directly degrade to white.

Xu Qing sneered, looked at Cui Jing, who was like being hit by five thunders, and came out to persuade: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Cui is playing when he hears the wind, which is really a matter of duty, although the matter is not true, but it is also a loyal and good act." Your Majesty, in order to broaden your speech, I beg your pardon for you. As he spoke, Xu Qing also knelt down and bowed.

At this time, it was really an uproar, Xu Qing, Xu Qing actually repaid his grievances with virtue! Others framed him, but he pleaded with that person instead, this person is really a humble gentleman, Gu Xian didn't think it was too much! Taking advantage of Xu Qing's plea, several other people who were friendly with Cui Jing also seconded the proposal at the same time.

Li Yuan said at this time: "Since all Aiqing intercedes for him, then remove the first-level official and leave him left and right to make up for it." ”

changed from Bai Ding to an alternate official, and finally left a trace of affection. Cui Jing shouted thanks, and then turned to Xu Qing and said: "Lord Xu is righteous, and the lower officials will repay each other." ”

Who knows, Xu Qing raised his head at this time and said: "Your Majesty, although Cui Yushi is doing his part, there is nothing to blame. However, it is also necessary to guard against villains instigating the imperial history and framing other loyal people. Today's incident is just a symptom, but please ask the emperor to find out the villain behind him and severely punish such slander and framing! ”

Bullshit repays grievances with virtue, Xu Qing is retreating as advance, Cui Jing is just a small seven-grade imperial history, he dares to impeach Xu Qing, there must be someone behind him. killed Cui Jing, and did not treat Xu Qing, but it was just a symptom but not a cure, and it also left people with the impression that flaws must be reported. But if you find out the person behind it, you will get twice the result. Xu Qing is really a good strategy! The ministers of civil and military affairs present had a slightly cold face, but these old foxes did not let others see it.

Li Yuan bowed slightly: "What Xu Qing said is very true, then this matter will be handed over to the Shaofu Supervisor to investigate." ”

What kind of place is the Shaofu Prison, which is a secret service agency made public by the state, but since it is made public, won't the essence of its spy be damaged again? As it is said, the Shaofu Eunuch is now just an empty shelf, and neither the officials in the court nor the emperor himself are willing to use the Shaofu Eunuch. It's just that sometimes some inspection tasks are assigned to the young government supervisor, so Li Yuan said today that he would hand it over to the young government supervisor, that is, this matter should be left alone.

However, if other officials made such a request, Li Yuan would directly refuse. In Xu Qing's place, there is still a trace of affection, which is enough to see the grace for Xu Qing. But in Xu Qing's eyes, Li Yuan's words have other meanings.

This small turmoil passed for the time being, and everyone began to discuss state affairs. Along the Yellow River, letters have been sent from river supervisors in various places, and because Xu Qing's loan method has been implemented well, river workers and people in various places have already gone down to the river to dig ice. Seeing that the early spring is about to pass, Ling Xun is coming.

Retreat.

There was a burst of shouts from inside the Xuanwu Gate:

"Bastard! Son of a bitch, you dare to provoke me Xu Qing like this! ”

"Zhuge Yan! You have been in the army for so many years, and you must know the method of espionage and investigation. Check, dig three feet into the ground in Chang'an City, turn me upside down, and find out who is behind it! This time, I, Xu Qing, want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so that those who dare to calculate me will disappear from now on. ”
