When Hai Guanyu came out of the palace, his face was deeply tired, and even his eyes were full of weakness, and all of this was seen by others. It is not known what the Emperor said to him because it was a secret meeting, but from the mere speculation of his demeanor, people have come to a not very good conclusion, and the conversation between the Emperor and the Prime Minister may not be so pleasant.

At the court meeting the next day, Haiguanyu unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone. Although he knew that the prime minister had already met the emperor and seemed to have secretly talked about some unknown secrets, He Furong and Xiao Yunchao still exchanged glances, and the two seemed to have given up their hostile attitude at this time. There seemed to be a trace of imperceptible loneliness on Hai Guanyu's face, even mixed with helplessness, which was not a good sign in the eyes of people with a heart anyway, and people who had already done good things secretly guessed the emperor's attitude.

However, when the emperor reprimanded He Furong fiercely in response to the rumors and Sun Yong's confession a few days ago, and then pointed the finger at Haiguanyu, the ministers were stunned. The emperor had never spoken to an old minister in such a tone, let alone an old man of the two dynasties like Hai Guanyu. The punishment was extremely severe, and for Haiguanyu, a superb man who wore many hats, the emperor deprived him of almost all his positions, leaving only one position as a scholar of the Baohe Temple, compared to which the three-year fine was only an insignificant additional disposition.

He Furong saw that he was guilty first, so he naturally couldn't easily plead for mercy, so he could only show a few officials who had a good relationship with him, and as for Xiao Yunchao, He Weitao was the first to stand up. He thought that the emperor's stern attitude might have ulterior motives, and he thought of Hai Guanyu's great merits over the years, so there should be a lot of room for reversal in the way of disposal. That's how to get ahead of everyone.

I saw him kowtow deeply, and then said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Your Majesty, Lord Hai has been an official for many years. The honest and honest dynasty is well known, and it will never be corrupt and perverted as Sun Yong said. Accepting bribes. Weichen implored the emperor to be clear, otherwise he might hurt the hearts of the important ministers of the court. ”

Since this has always been a good and good-looking local punishment department, how can the courtiers behind him fall behind? Yu Pingqi glanced at He Furong's face in the military department, and also said: "Weichen seconded Lord He's opinion, and Lord Hai has always been cautious as an official. Although the protégés are all over the world, they are always humble, and the scholars all praise each other. Moreover, Hai Da's family style is strict, and his son Hai Congrui is even more knowledgeable, so please think twice about the emperor, and don't easily add to the crime. "Yu Geqi is a close friend of He Furongdi, and at this time, seeing that someone from the Xiao family has come forward, how can he let go of such a great opportunity to give favors?

Behind the two Shang lords is a kind of second- and third-grade court officials, although some of them have a very shallow relationship with Haiguanyu, but it is not a fool not to do anything at such a moment, so everyone is competing for the first. He was said to be a good Qing official who is rare to see in a century. Hai Guanyu knew their calculations, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face, even if he received this love now. What awaits them later may also be the Emperor's punishment. It was He Furong and Xiao Yunchao who were smart and drove a group of subordinates to rush to the front, but they were watching the wind from behind, but this time they couldn't escape.

The emperor on the throne sighed lightly. It seems that this incident should have nothing to do with He Xiao's family. If it was according to his heart, of course he didn't want to offend Hai Guanyu, an old minister, but now he had to do it. Since Haiguanyu had already played a good role in the loss when he left the palace yesterday, he couldn't care about the feelings of the ministers. Presumably, what the person behind the scenes wants is an angry monarch who has lost his mind, otherwise he wouldn't be spending 200,000 taels at a time.

The emperor stood up slowly, his cold gaze swept over the ministers, and the court, which was still a little noisy just now, suddenly became quiet. Somehow, several leading officials actually had a feeling of impending disaster, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, did the emperor think that they had angered the authority of the king? Just as they were secretly complaining, the emperor's cold voice came from above their heads: "Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that you are dissatisfied with the will of the earth? Naturally, I won't fully believe Sun Yong's one-sided words, but there must be a reason for the groundlessness, if it weren't for Haiguanyu's loss, Sun Yong would not be able to make up this framing statement no matter how bold he is! ”

The officials couldn't help but be speechless, the emperor's words were quite strong, but now that they were furious, how could they dare to refute it. Seeing that the ministers were speechless, the emperor's voice raised a little more:

"You are important ministers of the court, and when you speak, do you not even distinguish between the light and the heavy? Haiguanyu is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he has made contributions to the court, but the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention a prime minister! If I don't deal with him, what will the people think? According to the laws of our dynasty, those who take bribes and pervert the law should be dismissed and handed over to Dali Temple for punishment, and I only removed Haiguanyu's position and the position of the minister of the guard, and the post of scholar of Baohe Temple is still retained, which is extremely gracious. If it can be proved afterwards that this matter was framed by Sun Yong, he will return him another justice! ”

The emperor's unquestionable attitude suddenly woke up a group of courtiers, and many people cast their eyes on Haiguanyu. I saw this one

Now the old minister on the ground had a face as heavy as water, his hands were clenched together, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes from time to time, obviously he had already expected this ending. Feng Wuxian on the side couldn't bear it, but so many people pleaded with his father just now and were indifferent, he didn't dare to stand up again in this unclear situation.

"Wechen knows that he is guilty, and the emperor only gave him the punishment of dismissal, which is already an extra kindness, and Wechen has nothing to say." Hai Guanyu spit out these words with great difficulty, as if he had suddenly aged for ten years, "Weichen will think about it behind closed doors in the mansion from tomorrow, and I hope that the emperor will approve it." ”

The emperor's face softened a little, after all, Hai Guanyu, who was guilty below, used to be his best arm for his first ascension to the throne, even if he was acting, he couldn't go too far. "If you are allowed to play, you will think about it behind closed doors in the mansion, and I will send someone to investigate this matter in detail."

After Haiguanyu fell to the ground to thank him, the emperor sent two little eunuchs to send him away, and many of the ministers had sad faces. The emperor glanced at Feng Wuxian meaningfully, and then said with a straight face: "The state has national laws, although I have always trusted Haiguanyu, but I can't indulge the important ministers. He Furong, Xiao Yunchao, there are really a lot of excerpts to impeach the two of you recently, and it is time for the two of you to restrain your actions! ”

He Furong suddenly sweated like rain, Xiao Yunchao was fine, but Sun Yong's confession was a big blow to himself. Emperor Lian Haiguanyu is still merciless, let alone himself, a person who has been convicted? He hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, waiting for the emperor's punishment. However, the Supreme, who was still thunderously furious just now, only made two sentences lightly, and only a one-year fine was considered a light punishment, and even Xiao Yunchao was dealt with as one. However, the emperor's last words in front of the ministers were as fierce as a lightning strike, shocking those who had evil intentions unable to control themselves.

"I know that there are a lot of you who are corrupt and bribed, and they all pretend to be high, but in fact, there are not a few tens of thousands of assets in the family, and some of them hide in the golden house outside, and they forget about the official raft at all! You might as well ask yourself, can you stand up to the investigation of the imperial history? Haiguanyu has always been an upright person, and there will still be words of greed for ink, not to mention you unclear and confused accounts? Go back and examine what you have done, and I will never tolerate you people! ”

Shi Liushun's retreat made the ministers retreat one by one as if they had been amnestied, and only a cadre of the Supervision Yuan was extremely excited, as if he had heard the signal of punishing corrupt officials from the emperor's words. However, Bao Huasheng was covered with his heart, he never believed that Hai Guanyu would do such a stupid thing, and the emperor's attitude seemed to be a little too tough, especially for He Furong and Xiao Yunchao, there was no reason to hold on to Hai Guanyu. Compared with He Furong and Xiao Yunchao, Bao Huasheng only has a deeper favor from the emperor, and he has suffered heavy setbacks, so he is more afraid of the emperor's mental tricks.

"My lord, now that the emperor seems to have the intention of purging the rule of officials, should we find two people with the most bribes among the courtiers to impeach?" As soon as he walked into the yamen of the Supervision Yuan, a young imperial historian impatiently suggested to Bao Huasheng.

"Don't rush it!" Before Bao Huasheng could speak out, Lian Yuchang hurriedly stopped, "Brother Ling, the emperor's move today is quite meaningful, and it must not be made." The impeachment of these corrupt and bribed ministers must pay attention to the rules and regulations, or let the full adults decide. He looked at Bao Huasheng, and there was some expectation in his eyes, although what he said just now was true, but according to his heart, he couldn't wait to uproot the corrupt officials in the DPRK and China, but he couldn't act recklessly because of the situation.

"What Xiaolian said is what I want to say, now is not the time to act recklessly." Bao Huasheng glanced at the people who were eager to try, and poured a basin of cold water on his head, "You must know that the Supervision Yuan is now the target of public criticism, in the past few years, there have been almost hundreds of officials you impeached, and the emperor has clearly inspected and punished a lot of people, so many powerful people hate you and so on." He paused slightly, and when he saw that several people had a look of chagrin on their faces, he couldn't help but comfort again, "The time has not yet come, you can rest assured, there is always an opportunity to show your talents, and you don't have to stick to it for a while." ”

When everyone heard Bao Huasheng say this, they immediately agreed in unison, and they admired this boss very much. Compared with Feng Zhifan, the imperial historian of Zuodu, who is not very in charge of things now, whether it is means or saints, Bao Huasheng is their best reliance. Lian Yuchang thought about it for a long time, and when he saw that his colleagues were still full of energy, he couldn't help laughing: "My lord, since we can't pick those big people now, we can always start with some small officials?" There are also many low-grade officials in Beijing who do not abide by the official raft, and although their positions are not obvious, they cannot be indulged. ”

Bao Huasheng groaned slightly, then nodded in response. These royal historians are all young and vigorous people, and if they are really idle, it will be difficult to control, so they will have to toss it. "Okay, you make a list first, and then I'll review and approve it, so that you don't shout that you have nothing to do."

Several imperial historians looked at each other and smiled, and Lian Yuchang, who made the suggestion, was even more overjoyed, and pulling out the nails that were eye-catching was counted as one, he didn't care about the grade.
