The emperor's rapid characterization of the Jinghu case sent a signal to the power circles in the capital, and shrewd people immediately understood the emperor's intention to rectify the rule of officials. The emperor ordered the three legal divisions to intervene in the investigation.

At the end of the meeting, Pei Guang, the imperial historian on duty, held a thick book of recitals in both hands and went out to play: "Shengshang, Weichen impeached Rongguo Gongjia for embezzlement, bribery, and many other lawless things!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Who is Jia Yu? That's the nobles of the nobles! The Jia family is a family of two people, which can be called the first noble family of the Dahua Dynasty, and the outstanding performance of Han Fei next to the Jia family has made the Jia family the most dazzling family in Dahua. Besides, the Jia family is considered to be Han Fei's relatives, according to the convention, the important ministers of the court are sent out on orders by the emperor, and the relatives are protected by the court, even if someone violates the law, they should not be held accountable at this time.

Then the courtiers understood. Pei Guang is a protégé of Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the purpose of impeaching Rongguo Gong Jia Yu at this time is to attack Han Fei, the envoy of Jinghu Xuanfu, or in other words, to fight Du Yun, the second assistant of the cabinet. After all, in the Jinghu case, Han Fei was out of the limelight, and Du Yun and his family had the upper hand. If Jia Yu is found guilty and deprived of the title of Duke Rongguo, the reputation of the Jia family will definitely plummet, and Han Fei will also suffer varying degrees of losses, and his credit this time will be discounted.

Du Yun naturally understood the ruthlessness in it, his pupils shrank, and his eyes stared sharply at Pei Guang.

The emperor also understood the key from the expressions of the courtiers, and with a gloomy face, he shouted: "Rong Guogong has a prominent position, do you have any evidence to impeach him?" ”

Pei Guang heard that the emperor's tone was not good, and his heart was terrified, and at this time it was already difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Qiyu Shengshang, Weichen has verified that it is true, the human and material evidence is there, and the ironclad evidence is like a mountain!" ”

"First hand over the evidence to Jinyi Mansion for verification, and then dispose of it when the conclusion comes out, and retreat from the dynasty!"

The emperor walked into the imperial study with a gloomy face, sat behind the imperial case, and was silent in thought. Since Yu Shi Pei Guang dared to impeach Jia Yu in public, he must have the empirical evidence of Jia Yu's crime, in fact, not only the Jia family, but also the nobles of the capital are probably more or less guilty of illegal things. But after all, the Jia family is different from the ordinary, Concubine De's maiden family, the relatives of the ninth princess and the horse, especially Concubine De is pregnant, how can she act rashly at this time?

But this matter has been clarified, if it is not punished, the nobles of the capital may be even more arrogant, which is not in line with the emperor's determination to rectify the nobles.

The emperor hesitated, and suddenly thought of Han Fei in Jinghu, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Princess Xuanjiu enters the palace!" ”

After Han Fei wiped out all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Jinghu, on the one hand, he stepped up the interrogation and expanded the results of the battle, but on the other hand, he was waiting for the news of Aunt Xiuniang, waiting for an opportunity to annihilate the White Lotus Sect's Nantian Dharma King and his family.

On this day, Ling'er hurried to Qincha Xingyuan and told Han Fei: "Uncle, there is urgent news from the capital, Yushi Pei Guang impeached Rongguo Gong Jia for pardoning corruption and human life, the evidence is conclusive, and the Jia family is facing a crisis of great changes!" ”

Han Fei frowned, pondered for a while, and said: "The emperor has long planned to punish the illegal acts of the nobles in the capital, and the Jia family has unfortunately become the first, the Jia family is rotten, and it will not wake up if it is not subject to a major blow, so don't interfere with our people!" ”

"Uncle, will the case of the eldest master of the Jia family implicate the eldest master?"

"It shouldn't be, the emperor is afraid of Concubine De, and he will definitely reduce the scope of punishment!" Han Fei made up his mind and said: "I will write two letters, pass them on to my mentor Du Xianggong and my father as quickly as possible, and at the same time convey my meaning to the house, protect my grandmother and children, wait and see what happens, and when the dust settles, I will help again!" Ordered the Purple Mansion to investigate the imperial history Pei Guang well, and handed over the evidence found to his mentor Du Xianggong for disposal! ”

"Slaves obey!"

Han Fei wrote two letters in the hall and handed them to Ling'er to send someone to transmit.

Ling'er just walked out of the door, and soon turned back, "Uncle, the ninth princess sent an urgent letter through the communication channel in our house!" ”

In the letter of the ninth princess Zhang Wanyi, it was also about Jia Yu's impeachment, Han Fei understood that this was probably the emperor testing his attitude, and after a little contemplation, he wrote a short reply letter and handed it to Ling'er to send out together.

If something happened to the Jia family, Du Yun was very entangled, and he was not sure what attitude to adopt in this matter, if he acted rashly and violated the emperor's intentions, it would not only fail to help Han Fei, but would destroy the current good situation.

"Teacher, their move is obviously aimed at Senior Brother Han, how should we make a move?" Yu Shiying asked with a heavy heart.

"Don't act rashly, the teacher has already written a letter to Shouzheng, and there should be a response in the next two days......"

At this time, the housekeeper of Du Mansion hurriedly walked in with a letter and said, "Master, Han Mansion has sent a letter from Uncle Zhongyi!" ”

Yu Shiying was shocked: "Why is Senior Brother Han's reply so fast? ”

Du Yun groaned: "I'm afraid Shouzheng has already received the news!" ”

Du Yun opened the letter, flipped through it, and sighed: "Shouzheng has insight into the emperor's thoughts, let's wait and see what happens!" ”

The ninth princess Zhang Wanyi received the letter, and in order to avoid exposing the fast communication ability of the Han government, she deliberately delayed for a day before entering the palace to see the emperor.

"Brother Huang, Uncle Zhongyi has replied!" The ninth princess Zhang Wanyi handed the letter to the emperor and said: "Zhongyibo said that the Jia family has failed the emperor's favor and should be severely punished, which is also a wake-up call to the nobles of the capital, so that the nobles can abide by the law and do not forget the original intention of the ancestors to serve the country loyally!" Zhongyibo hopes that this matter will not be told to Concubine De Niangniang for the time being, and let the courtiers take care of their grandmother! ”

The emperor read the letter and sighed: "Han Aiqing thinks for me and Dahua, loyal to the country, and at the same time does not forget the safety of Concubine De and grandmother, can be called a model of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, the ninth sister has a vision and has found a good husband!" ”

Ruan Changfeng and his party attacked the Jia family, it was premeditated, and all kinds of criminal evidence had already been clearly investigated, and the Jinyi Mansion reported to the emperor after verification.

The emperor disposed of this case contrary to the previous practice, quickly and strictly, took away the title of Duke of Rongguo, distributed 3,000 li, and confiscated the property belonging to his name.

The Jia family, a high-ranking family, collapsed, and the capital was stunned. However, some people noticed that although the Rongguo Mansion of the Jia family was deprived of the title of Duke of Rongguo because of Jia Amnesty, and most of the family property was confiscated, Jia Zheng's house was not affected. Because of the existence of Concubine De and Han Fei, people with a heart have already seen that the Jia family will have a day of glory again.

The Jia family suffered a catastrophe, and Jia Zheng also rushed back to the capital, and after appeasing his family, he took the title deed of Daguanyuan and entered the palace to ask the emperor for his guilt.

"Weichen's family has failed the emperor's grace, and the crime deserves death, please punish the emperor! This grand view garden was originally built for the provincial relatives of Concubine De, and most of the buildings inside were palace styles, and Weichen came to hand over to the royal management! ”

The emperor stared at Jia Zheng for a while, and said in a harmonious voice: "Jia Aiqing, Jia pardon's sin has nothing to do with you, the Jia family is still the royal family, after Aiqing settles down the family, continue to go to Jinmen to take on the heavy responsibility!" ”
