The emperor didn't look very familiar with this five-rank official, but the scholar Gu Daxue, who was in charge of the Privy Council and the Imperial Hall, recognized it at a glance, this person was a five-rank imperial historian Zhongcheng of the Imperial History Terrace, surnamed Yang.

The Imperial Hall has a lot of dealings with the Imperial History Terrace and Dali Temple, and most of the Imperial History Terraces are familiar with the Imperial History of the Imperial History Terrace. He knew that this Lord Yang had been in the Yushitai for many years, and he didn't like to talk much, and the few cases he handled were handled in a disciplined manner, and he was very old-fashioned.

Scholar Gu glanced at the emperor's face and took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, this is the Imperial History, Lord Yang has been in the Imperial History for many years. ”

The emperor nodded, and did not speak, but lazily made a gesture to signal that Yang Yushi had something to say. Yang Xingjian didn't go around the corner, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he joined Qin Fenglu and Cui Wenju to appease and connived at his family to occupy land in the Fengzhou area, open mines privately, and use military power to forcibly recruit people.

Xie Xiang turned back with everyone, and listened to Yang Xingjian's participation quietly, without too much expression on his face, Yang Xingjian's participation was rich in content, and the evidence was detailed, which didn't seem to be groundless.

Participating officials are the old business of Yushitai, this kind of thing, once in three or two months, civil and military officials are used to it, Lin Xiang and Gu Daxue are the same as Xie Xiang, there is not much expression on their faces, they just listen quietly, and Wen Chengping, a doctor in Zhongfeng who is mixed in the middle of a group of four-grade officials, has a somewhat unsightly face.

Cui Wenju is Wen Chengping's maternal uncle. The Cui family occupies a lot of land in Fengzhou, Wen Chengping knows about it, and Wen Chengping has also heard about the levy of the people, and in the eyes of a family like Wen Chengping, these are not big deals.

It is not difficult to make some fake land deeds, and it is not difficult to force the former landlord to change his mind with a reassurance envoy. As for the forced conscription of people's husbands, how can it be called forced requisition if they are paid? It's good to have accounts to prove it. Even if the emperor sends the imperial history to check, it can be picked up if you think of some way.

It's all easy to do. But Wen Chengping knew that Yang Yushi's private opening of the mine would not go over anyway. This is a great sin! Once the crime is confirmed, it will definitely be a loss of head.

Cui Wenju opened the mine privately, Wen Chengping really didn't know. Therefore, his face changed immediately, but even so, Wen Chengping was not very flustered, he actually didn't believe that Cui Wenju would open a mine privately.

Cui Wenju is not stupid, he was born in the Boling Cui family, and he is also a child of a big family, so he is not stupid enough to open a mine privately. If Cui Wenju was really stupid enough to open a private mine, Wen Chengping felt that he would not be unaware of the rumors. This crime is so exaggerated that it is likely to be a misunderstanding or false accusation.

Moreover, Yang Yushi openly participated in the concert in the dynasty, since it involved such a big matter as privately opening a mine, the emperor could not directly interrogate Cui Wenju with iron mouth, so he had to send someone to investigate and try the first trial.

If you don't deal with it immediately, there is room for manoeuvre. If it is a false accusation, it is good to distinguish it clearly, and the emperor will never ask for guilt indiscriminately.

Therefore, Wen Chengping can still remain calm at the moment, he decided to write an urgent letter to Qin Fenglu to ask if there is no such thing, in case there is such a thing...... That's a good preparation for it.

As Wen Chengping's mentor, Li Xiang naturally knows the relationship between Wen Chengping and Cui Wenju. However, Li Xiang and Wen Chengping have similar thoughts at the moment, and he thinks that Cui Wenju will not be so stupid to open a mine privately. However, even so, the illegal occupation of land and the forced requisition of people cannot be regarded as a clean ass.

If it's okay in normal times, but now the situation in the court is delicate, and Xie Xiang is staring at the power in his hand, Cui Wenju actually let people grab the braid and take a copy, which really makes Li Xiang quite annoyed, thinking that Wen Chengping and Cui Wenju are in trouble. He couldn't help but glared at Wen Chengping with a little annoyance.

If at this time, Li Xiang was only slightly annoyed, and after a while, he would not only be annoyed. Because he saw that what was involved in Cui Wenju's private opening of the mine, this was an unseemly reason, and Yushi came to him.

Because Yang Xingzhen had just finished participating in Cui Wenju, before the emperor could express his opinion, another imperial historian came out, which was also impeached.

This time, the imperial historian surnamed Shen was not playing someone else, but Li Xiang's student, Yin Zhao Zhiliang of Zhending Mansion.

Shen Yushi's participation is also reasonable, this time, he participated in Zhao Zhiliang's deception, false reporting of political achievements, corruption and deficits.

Within one, two imperial histories appeared, and the participants were all people from his department. Lee Sang-jae doesn't believe it's a coincidence. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Xie Xiang, who had a calm face, suspecting that this old guy was doing it.

Of course, the emperor's face is not very good-looking. Within one day, he received two impeachment notes at once, and the impeachment was all local officials above the fourth grade, so it was strange that his face could be good.

He directly asked the chamberlain to present the impeachment note, and after reading it carefully, he said, "It's not a matter." You will sing praises of virtue in the daytime, what is under my rule to govern Qingming, Haiqing Heyan, see for yourself! I am such a peacemaker, and my local officials rely on this kind of deception to whitewash my peace. ”

The emperor lost his temper, the imperial doctor and the Dali temple did not dare to speak out, the criminal department Shangshu glanced at Xie Xiang, and did not act rashly, and the entire Chongzheng Hall was quiet for a while, and finally the Gu scholar who was in charge of the subordinate hall took the lead in breaking the silence and opening his mouth.

"Your Majesty," Scholar Gu's voice was still as calm and gentle as ever: "The imperial historian is an official, and he has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials and upholding discipline, and when he receives a report, he naturally has to participate truthfully." The minister thought that the impeachment chapter of the imperial history could not be used as evidence for the crime, after all, it was just the words of a family, and the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department still had to file a case for detailed investigation. ”

These few words can be regarded as Li Xiangxin, the emperor is thunderous and angry, he does not dare to speak at will, now that the scholar Gu has broken the deadlock, Li Xiang just climbed the pole, and suggested that the emperor send someone to Qin Fenglu and Zhending Mansion to find out whether the impeachment of the imperial history is indeed a matter or a false accusation.

Li Xiang has already thought about it, Xie Xiang's son is the servant of the Imperial History Tower, if this case is handled in Beijing, it will be too easy for Xie Xiang to intervene.

Fortunately, Cui Wenju and Zhao Zhiliang are both local officials, and it is justified to send people to investigate. Qin sent the investigation to Linfang, and when he arrived at Cui Wenju and Zhao Zhiliang's own territory, there was naturally more room for turnaround.

As everyone knows, Xie Xiang has been waiting here for a long time, and he listened to Li Xiang's speech calmly, and did not speak. As soon as Li Xiang's words fell, he turned his head slightly, as if inadvertently glanced at Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, immediately asked the emperor if he could ask King Yi and King Xin to go out of Beijing in person to handle the cases of Cui Wenju and Zhao Zhiliang.
