An Suiyu sneered in her heart, this is almost exactly the same as the promise Gao Xi made to herself, it seems that Gao Xi borrowed Mrs. Peach's mouth to reassure herself again. She blinked her eyes and stared at Mrs. Peach Blossom tightly: "Am I not going to die even if I draw a charge?" Am I really not going to be punished? ”

Mrs. Peach Blossom smiled: "Can't you still trust me?" I'm also afraid of retribution, you see this is what I told you to do, and I bear what is the first, right? ”

An Suiyu gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind all of a sudden, and said fiercely: "Okay, I'll draw a charge!" In the future, I will ask my wife to teach me what to say in the hall. ”

Mrs. Peach Blossom smiled, as pretty as a flower: "This is natural! ”

In the Daxing Palace, on the Liangyi Palace, in this palace where Yang Jian specially used to meet with important ministers on a small scale, Yang Jian was walking around the center of the main hall, holding the pages of confessions in his hands behind his back, Gao Gong, Su Wei, and Yang Yuan arched their hands, stood with their heads bowed, and waited for Yang Jian to speak.

I only heard Yang Jian mutter: "Is there really such an evil thing as a cat ghost in the world?" I still don't believe it. ”

Gao Gong opened his mouth and said: "People and stolen goods, this confession is even clearly written on how to make the cat ghost, if the emperor still doesn't believe it, Weichen dares to ask the emperor to witness the demon girl cast a spell." ”

Yang Jian shook his head, still doubting in his heart.

Su Wei's eyes rolled and he saluted: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the result of your questioning of that Dugu Tuo has been in the past few days?" ”

Yang Jian sighed: "I first asked his brother Dugu Mu to persuade him with kind words and asked him if he had a cat ghost, but he flatly denied it. Later, I saw him in person. Tell the left and right to stand down. Ask him separately if he has any of this. He also swore that he would never know.

Alas, I really don't want to make it like this, if it's really the law made by the demon girl, then I have to kill him. The queen has just woken up, and her body is still very weak, and I am afraid that she will not be able to stand this blow. ”

Su Wei seemed to have expected Yang Jian to think like this: "Judging from this testimony, Xu Ani has always been just a fire girl, and she didn't say that Dugutuo gave her an order to use cat ghosts to steal money and harm people. It was that day that Dugutuo and Yang quarreled because of the money for wine, and the Yang family was beaten, so Yang found Xu Ani in a fit of anger and asked her to let the cat ghost take revenge on Dugutuo's brother Queen Dugu, and steal some money by the way, which is the so-called killing two birds with one stone. ”

Yang Jian stopped and asked, "Aiqing means that Dugutuo doesn't know about cats and ghosts?" ”

Su Wei nodded: "Exactly, that Xu Ani's mother was a portable girl who married into the Dugu family with the Yang family, and her skill of driving cats and ghosts was brought from the Yang family." Dugutuo probably didn't know, who would take care of what a fire girl in the family would do all day long? ”

Yang Su picked up the confessions again. looked at this paragraph carefully, nodded while reading, and said, "Aiqing is very reasonable. ”

A hint of smugness flashed on Su Wei's face: "So according to the minister's opinion." The next thing should be arraigned about the Yang family, Mr. Chen felt that this case may not be so simple, maybe there are people behind the Yang family. ”

Yang Jian froze suddenly: "What does Aiqing mean?" ”

Su Wei looked at Gao Gong, and saw that he also glanced at him, so he no longer had any scruples, and said: "The minister feels that it is necessary to check whether Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, is related to this case, after all, the Yang family is his own sister." ”

A loud but slightly weak female voice exploded in the two halls: "Su Wei, what are your intentions in slandering the Duke of Yue Guo like this?" ”

The three of them followed the prestige, and saw an old woman in a flower armor struggling to enter the hall with the support of two palace maids, her hair was gray, a cloth belt was wrapped around her forehead, and the corners of her eyes were full of wrinkles.

The old woman's expression was extremely tired, but her eyes were still sharp. Although he is old, he can still vaguely see the heart-warming charm between his eyebrows.

Her back was slightly hunched, and she was dressed in an ordinary blue cotton coat embroidered with nine phoenixes, and a pair of black cotton boots on her feet.

The person who came was the queen Dugu Jialuo, and the three ministers all knelt on the ground at once, and said in unison: "The queen's mother Jin'an." ”

Yang Jian stepped forward quickly, grabbed her hand, and reproached distressedly: "Didn't you let you have a good rest, why did you come out again?" ”

Dugu Jialuo worked hard to make a blessing, his eyes were full of warmth, and he reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubines are not at ease with this case, even in bed, so they dare to come over and listen to the trial process of this case." ”

Her eyes moved to Su Wei, and she suddenly became angry: "It's just that the concubine was outside the door just now, and I heard that someone actually poured dirty water on Yue Guogong's body." Hmph, I don't know what this person's intentions are?! ”

Su Wei raised his head, still knelt on the ground, and said unhurriedly: "The ministers are loyal to the country, and their loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon." The minister has no other intentions, he just wants to share the worries of the emperor and catch the murderer for the queen. ”

Dugu Jialuo snorted heavily: "Catch the murderer? This palace sees that you want to declare your personal vendetta, grab a handle of Yue Guogong, and drive him down, so that you can be your right servant again. ”

Queen Dugu poked Su Wei's sore spot this time, Rao is he is a very good officialdom tumbler, he has already cultivated to be thick-skinned and black-hearted, and his joy and anger are invisible, and his face is still blue and white.

This Su Wei is a native of Wugong County, Jingzhao Prefecture, with a very high level of talent and learning, and is famous in the world. Gao Gong knew his ability, recommended him several times, Yang Jian called him to talk after he ascended the throne, amazed by his talent, and immediately made him the crown prince Shaobao, and later successively served as the Ministry of Civil Affairs (Minister of Finance, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty in order to avoid Li Shimin's ridicule and changed to be called the Ministry of Household Shangshu) and Nayan.

But Su Wei is greedy for power in his bones, and he only looks at the joys and sorrows of the Lord, and never refuses to speak out, he sees that the two saints like to be thrifty, so he makes a proposal to reduce taxes and labor, and when he sees that the drapery hooks in the palace are made of silver, he advises Yang Jian, and Chen talks about the virtue of thrift, which makes Yang Jian and his wife, who are a little stingy with frugality, very happy.

So Su Wei rose step by step, in addition to the original two positions, he also served as Jing Zhaoyin (mayor of Chang'an), Dali Qing (president of the Supreme Court) and Yu Shi Dafu (secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection), five important positions on one shoulder, it can really be said that the power in the judicial circle is monopolized.

There was an impeachment in the imperial history, saying that Su Wei was greedy for power, held five positions, suppressed the backwards, suppressed others, and did not recommend talents, and Yang Jian was very fond of Su Wei at that time, openly defending him, and the matter was over.

After that, Su Wei participated in the formulation of the Sui Dynasty's canonical system, most of the laws and decrees were formulated by him, and he was promoted to the right servant of Shangshu in the ninth year of Kaihuang, and jointly governed the empire with Gao Gong.

Later, Su Wei's desire for power and ambition swelled rapidly, and he recommended his relatives and friends to a large extent, and his brothers and nephews occupied the court, which gradually aroused Yang Jian's dissatisfaction.

Finally, in the twelfth year of the emperor's reign, Dr. Guozijian He Tuo reported that Su Wei had formed a party for personal gain, and Yang Jian sent Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, and Yu Qingze, the state of Shangzhu, to investigate, and the situation was true, and Yang Jian took the opportunity to remove him from the post of the right servant of Shangshu and was succeeded by Yang Su.

The human psyche is like this, from being out of everything to having nothing, and this pain is more than never.

Su Wei suddenly became a common man from the third person in the empire, he did not reflect on his own mistakes and shortcomings, but he was full of anger and grievances and could not vent, and the hatred value was so high that he was violent, and the first place on his enemy list was the doctor He Tuo of the country, and the second place was Yang Su, the prince of Yue Guo, who took his seat.

It just so happens that Yang Su is not a very broad-minded person, he generally does not hold grudges, and revenge is directly revenged.

So the two of them were on the tip of the needle, and they were completely on the bar, and they would say bad things about each other in front of Yang Jian at every opportunity.

In the past few years, Yang Su has fought in the south and the north, and he has built Renshou Palace, which has greatly patted the emperor and queen's sycophants.

And although Su Wei relied on Yang Jian's old love to let him come back and be a good three-grade person, compared to Yang Sulai, it is naturally different. (To be continued......)
