The eldest grandson Wuji, who originally planned to impeach Xue Conggui with Gao Shilian, saw that Xue Conggui was defeated in only one round, so he looked at Xue Conggui's distant back and sighed: "The dignified prime minister is actually a fierce and introverted man, which is really a shame for the empire." ”

When he finished saying this, he immediately looked left and right as a thief, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he finally put his mind at ease, but saw that he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself: "Don't say anything incivil, don't look at it, don't listen to it." ”

After that, he carried his hands behind his back and silently left the Xuanzheng Palace.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji looked like an ancient well without waves on the surface, his heart had already blossomed, because he knew that once Xue Conggui fell, it would mean that his side was about to embark on a new political stage.

After leaving the palace, it wasn't until he got into the carriage prepared in advance that the eldest grandson Wuji finally showed his elated appearance, but saw him sitting in the carriage, while humming an unknown hometown nursery rhyme.

Meanwhile.

Prime Minister Xue Conggui's mood is in stark contrast to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Xue Conggui was like a child who had made a mistake, kneeling respectfully in the Heart Cultivation Palace, while Zhuge Yan, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, was standing straight in front of him, reciting aloud Gao Shilian's ten cardinal sins impeaching him.

Sin 1: Xue Conggui's son acted unscrupulously, often robbing people's daughters on the street, and the women in Beijing suffered greatly, and they once said vulgar words such as "being a groom every night" on the street.

Crime 2: During his tenure in office, he expropriated and extorted, resulting in the displacement of the people, and countless people died of cold and hunger.

Crime 3: Corruption perverts the law, resulting in the flourishing of bribery in China.

Crime 4: Controlling the way of speech, so that the DPRK and Chinese officials dare not speak out.

Sin 5: In the construction of the mansion, there are many transgressions in the Xue Mansion, and the regulations of several transgressions are almost comparable to those of the prince.

Crime 6: Excluding dissidents, using the power to suppress people who disagree with their political views, causing others to frame them, dismissing officials at the least, and going to prison at the worst, and their methods and actions are simply despicable.

Sin 7: Deceiving the king, his person is arrogant and arrogant, has no respect for the saint at all, and once drunk and said: I am not a photo, but a photo.

Sin 8: Raising the dead, and raising dozens of outlaws in his mansion is his minions, and his intention cannot be guessed.

Sin 9: Allowing the clansmen to do business and compete with the people for profit.

Sin 10: Conniving at the clansmen to do many illegal things, causing the people inside and outside the government and the opposition to boil and complain.

Zhuge Yan condescendingly glanced at Xue Conggui, who was kneeling there shaking like chaff, turned to Liu Wei and replied, "Master Qi, Gao Shilian's impeachment of the prime minister's ten crimes, the song has been read out, how should it be handled?" Please make it clear to the master. ”

"Show it to the prime minister." Liu Wei said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Zhuge Yan silently leaned down, presented the impeachment note with both hands, and said, "Lord Xue, please." ”

When Xue Conggui heard this, he suddenly trembled, and said hesitantly: "Minister... The minister has something to say, please forgive me, Your Majesty. ”

Although Xue Conggui's ability is very average, he is not stupid at all, and when things have developed to such an extent, he has already smelled a smell of conspiracy from it.

This time, Liu Wei was calculated with intention or not, and Xue Conggui was caught off guard.

Xue Conggui knew that he was finished, and if he made any more quibbles, at that time, the two sides would probably have a quarrel to the point where it would be difficult to end, so he decided to admit several charges in public.

"Say."

Liu Wei signaled that Xue Conggui could speak freely.

"The government affairs of the DPRK and China are busy, and the ministers are conscientious every day, and they dare not have the slightest slackness, so it is inevitable that they will neglect to discipline their families, please be aware of them."

Xue Conggui publicly admitted the first, ninth, and tenth charges, but flatly denied the other charges, which had long been expected by Liu Wei and others.

Liu Bian's intention was to dismiss Xue Conggui from office, but he didn't mean to chase him and beat him hard, so after hearing that Xue Conggui took the initiative to admit several of these crimes, Liu Biao immediately followed Xue Conggui's words and said: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and I can't deliberately protect the prime minister because of his hard work. ”

When Xue Conggui heard this, he sighed helplessly, although he was unwilling, he didn't show it too obviously, but he saw him kowtow to Liu Wei in public, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness." ”

Xue Conggui has an advantage that others do not have, that is, he is very self-aware, he knows that with his two brushes, he is not the opponent of the emperor who is becoming more and more mature, so when he heard that Liu Wei took the initiative to let go and was willing to let go of his horse, he decisively borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, thanked Liu Wei for his kindness, put his posture very low, and immediately fled and left the palace.

Looking at Xue Conggui's slightly lonely back, Liu Wei frowned, and said: "I always feel that this matter has been done too smoothly, the prime minister, as the leader of the world, was defeated so easily, and such a weak style of action does not seem to be in line with the consistent style of the world." ”

"The one who knows the times is Junjie, Lord Xue is not stupid at all, he knows the truth that his arms can't twist his thighs, so he decisively took the money he collected and returned to his hometown to retire, this result is already the best choice for him." Zhuge Yan slapped a sycophant in disguise.

Liu Wei nodded silently, agreed with Zhuge Yan's words, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, putting the matter aside for the time being.

After dealing with Xue Conggui's affairs, Liu Wei, who was in a very good mood, immediately went to the harem and had a night of joy with the queen in Changle Palace.

The next day, early in the morning, looking at Nangong Junwei, who was exhausted, Liu Wei's heart felt very satisfied.

"The dignified leader of the East China Sea, isn't he still my crotch minister?" Liu Wei thought so.

At this time, Zhuge Yan crept to the outside of the hall, gently knocked on the door of the hall, and said, "Master, it's time to go to the court." ”

"Got it."

Liu Wei responded softly, and immediately prepared to get up and change clothes.

Xu heard the conversation between Zhuge Yan and Liu Wei, Nangong Junwei woke up slowly, she supported her tired body, sat up from the bed, and said in a daze: "The concubine is waiting for Your Majesty to change clothes." ”

Seeing this, Liu Wei hurriedly and gently pressed Nangong Junwei back to the bed, and said warmly: "There are subordinates to do such trivial things as changing clothes, why do you need the queen to do it herself?" ”

When Nangong Junwei heard this, she still sat up stubbornly and said: "Your Majesty has every opportunity every day, and it is rare for concubines to serve Your Majesty once, and please don't excuse yourself." ”

"Okay."

Liu Wei was very moved, so he let Nangong Junwei help him comb his hair and change his clothes.

Looking at Nangong Junwei, who was slightly clumsy but extremely serious, Liu Wei suddenly frowned and pondered, and said in his heart: "The queen is the lord of the harem, some ideas are understandable, if you can make your son-in-law inherit the unification in the future, it is not a bad thing for Daxia, did I blame the queen in the past?" ”

Just when Liu Wei lowered his head and pondered, Nangong Junwei had already served him and put on his gown, and was about to help him put on the crown, but he saw Liu Wei, who happened to come back to his senses, grabbed Nangong Junwei's waist, looked at Nangong Junwei, whose charm value was as high as 90 points, and gently pecked her forehead with a smile.

Nangong Junwei's face was slightly red, she put on a crown for Liu Bian, and immediately pulled Liu Bian to the bronze mirror, and said, "Your Majesty, take a look, are you still satisfied?" ”

Liu Wei took a picture of the bronze mirror, nodded with a smile, and said, "Very good." After that, he waved goodbye to Nangong Junwei, and then took Zhuge Yan straight to the Xuanzheng Palace

In the early dynasty, Liu Wei, who had a pair of panda eyes, praised Prime Minister Xue Conggui in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, praising him for his loyalty to the imperial court, diligence and so on.

Seeing this, Xue Conggui immediately went out to work and said: The minister was too old to cope with the heavy government affairs, so he wrote a book and begged for bones.

Liu Wei immediately encouraged Xue Conggui, and rewarded him with 10,000 taels of silver as a way for him to return to his hometown for the elderly.

After arranging Xue Conggui's affairs, Liu Wei announced several important personnel appointments in the court.

Shen Ce, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, temporarily took the post of prime minister, moved Gao Shilian to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and moved the eldest Sun Wuji to the left servant of the Ministry of Officials.

Finally, looking at the Great Xia army, which only had 43 points of training, Liu Wei gritted his teeth and transferred Li Sheng back to the capital, and made him serve as the secretary of the military department.
