Chapter XXXVIII
Everyone stood on top of the court according to the etiquette system, and Xie Ling stood at the bottom according to his grade.
All the powerful and powerful people bowed their heads to the people on the high throne, and shouted long live. Behind the heavy twelve crowns, a pair of majestic eyes looked at his courtiers.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat. ”
Everyone stood still.
Mr. Zhang first listed the "Binzhou flood incident, which has been going on for a long time, and the disaster relief funds have been embezzled, so that the disaster can not be curbed in time, so that many people have suffered a double blow. ”
Participating in politics has learned to say, "It is indeed urgent to solve the flood and investigate and punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but if it is mentioned to ask the crime, you should first ask the head of the household department Xie Yun Xie for the crime, Xie is not effective in handling things, delaying the disaster, and should be punished first to set an example." ”
Cai Yunyan, the secretary of the ministry, refuted, "Lord Xie was only responsible for allocating disaster relief funds at that time, and the specific matters of disaster relief were being formulated. ”
"The so-called Xie Yun was defiled, but his Xie family's words, we haven't seen the evidence, how can you make a judgment, is it true that Lord Cai does things only based on friendship and feelings. ”
"Lord Zeng, this is the court, everyone expresses their opinions, why do you come up with such heart-wrenching words. The evidence is that the Xie family handed it over to His Majesty to see, and His Majesty personally pardoned Lord Xie, could it be that Lord Zeng suspected His Majesty of covering up. ”
Zeng Xuezhi clenched his words, "I'm just asking my own questions, what should I do if Your Majesty is deceived." Besides, there is no responsibility for your officials and the Imperial Historical Tower. ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department echoed, "The Ministry of Officials selects officials, and the Imperial History Observatory supervises hundreds of officials, and now there is such a serious corruption, which is really dereliction of duty." ”
Seeing the tension in the court, His Majesty did not express his position for a long time, and came out to play a round, "All the adults are for the court, and the people are good, why hurt the harmony like this." The younger brother thinks that the most important thing now is to solve the Binzhou matter, and the accountability can be postponed. ”
Only then did the emperor speak, "You Aiqing don't have to argue, I have my own plans, Xiao Xuzi, announce it." ”
Gonggong Xu, who was standing on the side, took two steps forward and announced loudly, "Xie Ling, Xie Yun, Yushi Zhongcheng, the Criminal Department, and the Ministry of Officials listen to the order." ”
Xie Ling Xie was transported out of the ranks. The emperor said, "Xie Ling, come forward" Xie Ling took a few steps forward, standing behind Xie Yun's side, and several people bowed their heads to listen to the order.
"The Binzhou flood incident, a long time, far-reaching impact, since today, appointed Xie Ling as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, especially the criminal department officials from the side to help, to find out the matter. Xie Yun, the secretary of the household department, will continue to be in charge of the follow-up matters of disaster relief, supervised by the Yushitai, and hope that Xie Ling and Xie Yun will live up to their expectations and do their errands as soon as possible. ”
"Commandment. ”
"Your Majesty, this matter is not allowed, although Xie Yun has His Majesty's grace, he will not ask for the crime for the time being, and Xie Ling is Xie Yun's brother, and no matter what his talents are, he can't be allowed to be in charge of this matter. The suffragette said sadly.
A word broke the calm, and several officials made a sad gesture and sincerely begged His Majesty to retract his order, "Your Majesty, the matter of Binzhou has attracted the attention of the whole country, and other countries are also concerned about this matter, so you can't make such a foolish decision." ”
"This is my decision, do you think I am confused?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers have no such intentions, we all admire the character of the old lady, but not everyone is as upright as the old lady, Your Majesty don't be deceived. ”
Xie Yun saw that the ministers were aggressive, "I, Xie Yun, am an official, not for glory and wealth, not for the monstrous power, just to be able to contribute to my great Chu." When the fortune of the day was dirty, some people fell into the well, and now they are wronged, but there are still people who want to splash dirty water and punish their hearts. Although Xie Yun is not as good as his predecessors, he often introspects himself and refuses to make mistakes. ”
"What Master Xie said is touching, but the suspicion is still there, and it is also a fact, and this matter cannot be ambiguous. Shang Shu Liang of the Criminal Department said.
Xie Ling watched from the sidelines with cold eyes, stepped forward, and was in the same column as Xie Yun.
