Chapter Ninety-Six: The Crusade against the Prime Minister

The palace test was interrupted by Jun Heyi, and the hundred officials rushed to the court, and Jun Yi was already dressed in bright yellow and sat upright.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long liveβ€”"

"Zhongqing is flat." Jun Yi's tone was light, and he couldn't hear the joy and anger.

Li Li, the official of the speech, spoke bluntly and told Ye Fu and others about the things in the palace test one by one.

Everyone is watching, looking at Jun Yi's attitude.

Jun Heyi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Erchen thinks that the prime minister's move is really bold and should be punished heavily." ”

"How does the prince think the punishment will be severe?"

"Strike! Since the prime minister doesn't know what to do as the head of a hundred officials, let him go through the old road again and see Yu Guo clearly. ”

"What do you think?"

There was silence below, and even the people who usually supported King Jingyang did not speak.

Some officials presented the words of the students of the imperial examination, all of which were unfavorable news to Ye Fu.

Fang Yan wanted to come out, but was caught by Yu Xianggu by the sleeve, looked over and saw a faint smile on the corner of Yu Xianggu's mouth, as if comfortingly: "The prime minister has a perfect plan." ”

Fang seems to be clear, and he also falls into the category of silence.

However, Kong Fangyu, the secretary of the ministry, stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister is the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and he does not report the fact that there is a woman's participation, and even connives. But when punishing the ministers, I hope that Your Majesty will listen to the ministers. ”

"You say."

"Of the 30 women who participated in the scientific examination, 10 entered the royal list, and one of them ranked in the top three. The minister thought that instead of binding such talented women to the boudoir courtyard, it was better to use them for the country and contribute their wonderful words and wisdom. ”

"What wisdom can a woman have?" Jun Heyi came out and choked up.

Everyone didn't refute, only Kong Fangyu frowned.

"His Royal Highness the Prince's mother was the daughter of the Feng clan during her lifetime, she was both talented and beautiful, virtuous and virtuous, and she was comfortable in handling harem affairs, and there had never been any catastrophe in the harem. Isn't this a representation of the wisdom of women? ”

"The queen mother's ability will not be denied. But isn't the queen mother's battlefield just in the backyard? Is it so easy to do things in the temple? ”

Kong Fangyu didn't have the ability to speak with Jun Heyi, so he took out an exam paper directly from his sleeve and read it out in the hall. It includes five questions on history and three questions on national policies.

After reading it, everyone was shocked and praised Miaozai, and even Jun Yi's face was a little gentler.

"Your Majesty, this is written by Wen Yi, the daughter of the Wen family."

"So what? Can the fact that the prime minister is free of making claims? ”

Ye Fu smiled faintly, walked to the center of the main hall, and said loudly: "The minister knows that he is wrong, and he is willing to be punished." ”

"The stakes are high, I want to hear Aiqing's thoughts." Jun Yi spoke.

"The imperial examination in Yu has been abandoned many times, and the last time it was restored was twenty years ago. The imperial examination system must change. Chen just became a forerunner. Whether a woman has the ability or not also needs to be known after practice. All the women I asked them to participate, and they have nothing to do with their father and brother in the family, and I ask Your Majesty to reward and punish them clearly, and not to blame them. ”

"Well, what about these women?"

"Will Your Majesty give them a chance?"

"Hmm."

Ye Fu smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled out the copper hairpin, took off his crown and put it in his hand: "The minister is willing to pave a way for their opportunity, give up the position of prime minister, invite himself out of Beijing, inspect the evils of Yu State, and give His Majesty a satisfactory governance measure after returning to the court." ”

"This ......"

"The minister's actions have annoyed the candidates of the Yuguo county exam, if there is no disposal, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm the anger of the public, since he has made a mistake, the minister is willing to be punished!"

The people below were also in an uproar when they heard this.

Jun Yi looked at Ye Fu, confused: "Aiqing is a general?" ”

"I don't dare."

"Well, let the officials arrange for the women who have been on the list to participate in government affairs! As for Yu Qing's stay and stay, we will discuss it later. Retreat! ”

"Greetings to Your Majestyβ€”"

Although Ye Fu temporarily lost the post of prime minister, the emperor obviously had no other punishment measures. Jun Heyi had a black face, and rushed out of the Qingming Hall angrily.

After Ye Fu finished reading, he pulled Yu Xianggu's sleeve and began to complain: "I haven't left yet, he's in a hurry like that?" ”

"Your Majesty probably won't let you go."

"He'll let me go." Ye Fu smiled confidently.

In a few days, Ye Fu simply moved out of the prime minister's mansion and went to live in a courtyard in the suburbs. Yu Xianggu has been accompanied, and the two of them are pacing on the embankment in the suburbs.

"Once you leave Beijing, your situation will be even more dangerous."

"I don't even have the position of prime minister now, and it's even more dangerous if I don't go out of Beijing."

"Whoever makes you so free and easy, don't say no if you have a good phase. That's something that many people dream of. ”

"If I don't pick it up at this time, it will probably be taken off by someone else. The crown is heavy, and I can't stand it. ”

"You, there's a reason for everything."

"Of course!" Ye Fu smiled, quite interested.

"The wind is not going in the right direction these days." Yu Xianggu's voice was slightly deep.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone reported that you collected taxes in various counties and counties, and also bribed a lot of candidates?"

"Oh? Has anyone come up with evidence? ”

"Is your prime minister's seal considered evidence?" Yu Xianggu sighed, "The candidates from all counties are indignant, saying that they want to oust you, a powerful minister who covers the sky with one hand!" ”

Ye Fu laughed twice: "I already expected this." ”

After all, when he handed over Xiangyin to Helan Xun, he thought of these consequences. But is it just a matter of blaming these minor crimes? Then her photoprint is too worthless.

"The Wen family was disposed of. The Jing family was also disposed of. ”

"How so?" Ye Fu was surprised, a little unexpected.

"Kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, if you do this, I'm afraid you have touched the emperor's bottom line."

"I'm afraid it's not the emperor's bottom line, but Jun Heyi is doing ghosts!"

"The prince does things, indeed...... There is a bit of a rush for quick success. ”

"What about the Wen family?"

"Good discipline. It is estimated that Wen Yi's marriage is going to be involuntarily. The merits of the family for generations have no effect. ”

Ye Fu frowned, and he couldn't help it.

"King Jingyang has also been punished."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"He stood up and confessed, saying that he was an accomplice to the prime minister, so he was temporarily dismissed from all positions and let him train behind closed doors, and he was able to make a difference."

"I'm guilty, I've sinned too much! King Jingyang didn't resist either? ”

"Hehe, I think he is very happy, and directly opened a road in Xishan Park and the suburbs of the city, so that he can train back and forth."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

In this way, it can avoid a lot of Jun Yi's suspicions and scruples about him.

"Alas, it's okay now, and you'll have six books in the court."

"I'm not."

Ye Fu snapped his fingers: "You, Fang Yan, Jin Xu, Jin Ming, Kong Fangyu, Feng Shichuan." Eh, one worse? ”

"The book of the criminal department, Ling Xuan."

Ye Fu is famous, and he seems to be not very familiar.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment are really clear.

"The Criminal Department is in charge of the power of punishment and killing in the world, and his ambition can only be Emperor Yu and the Yu Kingdom."

Ye Fu smiled: "Then I understand, the ministry is in charge of hundreds of officials, and his ambition can only be Emperor Yu and Yu Guo." Otherwise, this official will not be able to do it. ”

"Hmm."

"Alright, you can go back." Ye Fu went back to the courtyard to rest, watching the sunset and the sky dimmed.

At night, something always comes to the door.

The two walked casually to Xicheng, and a carriage came to them, and a person in black clothes and black robes got off the car: "Prime Minister, my family is invited." ”

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

"Sikou...... It should be Ling, it seems that the Criminal Department has taken over your case. Yu Xianggu frowned slightly, blocking in front of Ye Fu, "Why didn't Ling Sikou come over by himself?" ”

The black-robed man bowed again, bowed down and said, "Si Kou is waiting for the prime minister at the yamen of the Criminal Department." ”

"It's a big shelf." Yu Xianggu pulled Ye Fu, "I'll go with you." ”

"Hmm."
