238. It has nothing to do with me
Bossy!
Lu Shikui is impeccable in etiquette, but the arrogance in his bones is visible.
After all, Zhao Mengqi is not really a fifteen-year-old hairy boy, the city government still has it, and he did not show any dissatisfaction on his face, still smiling.
In the eyes of Xie Tang and others, they felt more and more that King Yan was just bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and he was just strong on the outside and doing things in the middle.
"Look, I'll just say that he is nothing to be afraid of, this time it was our carelessness, and he was pitted by him with crooked and evil techniques, but that's all."
"That's right, we haven't violated the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, even if he is the prince, what can he do to me?"
"Ji has been immersed in Yin business for decades, but I didn't expect to be blinded by the geese pecking all day long, this time we admit it, sooner or later we will have to get back this field......
"The defeat is decided, it's useless to stay longer, let's go."
Xie Tang, who had a dark face, said goodbye to King Yan perfunctorily from afar, and led more than 20 people to walk outside the main hall.
Zhao Mengqi just shrugged his shoulders and did not stop him.
Just let these people go?
More than 300 foreign gentry in the hall looked at King Yan suspiciously, this is too weak, right?
Zhao Mengqi blinked, spread his hands and said, "Why are you looking at Lonely? Do you think that Lone will retaliate against them? Is it the kind of person who is narrow-minded when he is big-hearted?"
Hearing this, how should the gentry respond?
You can't say that your Highness is wrong for you to do this, you are a woman's kindness, and it is the act of Our Lady......
Even if you keep slandering in your heart, you can only keep complimenting and flattering.
"It is extreme, it is not comparable, its virtue is also great, so the benevolent can tolerate, the wise can endure, His Royal Highness is magnificent, and the benevolence and wisdom are unparalleled."
"Your Highness is bright and upright, as bright as the sun and the moon, quite like an ancient gentleman."
"It is a blessing to be one step higher in life, and it is a blessing to be lenient with others, Your Highness is accessible!"
"The great power can accommodate the small, the sky can cover the earth, His Royal Highness can support the boat in his belly, after Renzong, my Great Song Dynasty will add a benevolent and unparalleled Ming Jun."
At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall, "Someone! Surround them!"
Then, there was the sound of roaring footsteps, and the sound of dense blades colliding.
Belch! What a forgiveness......
The gentry in the palace looked at each other, and many of the compliments that came out of the intestines and scraped their stomachs were still in their mouths, and they were forcibly blocked back, and they were suffocated to the point that their faces were red and their ears were red, as if they had swallowed a handful of flies.
Zhao Mengqi touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "If Lone said, 'It has nothing to do with me', you should believe it."
Believe you, a ghost.
From everyone's eyes, Zhao Mengqi only saw these four words.
Alas, people's hearts are not ancient.
"Whatever you want."
Zhao Mengqi pursed his lips and walked out with dangling steps, and a group of gentry followed him out to see the excitement.
Outside the Dacheng Palace, hundreds of sergeants surrounded Xie Tang and the others, their swords unsheathed, and the shackles were ready.
Xie Tang was embarrassed, pointed to the officer leading the team and asked, "I am an official of the imperial court, what is the reason why you are blocking my way for no reason!?" Do you want to make a mess?"
"I'm sorry, but the last general was ordered to do so." The officer was neither lukewarm, nor humble.
"Ordered?" Xie Tang's face sank, realizing that King Yan did not intend to let him go easily, but instead of being frightened, he jumped out of a disdainful smile.
"Hehe, King Yan can't pretend anymore? Can't help but kill me? Then come on, let everyone in the world see the true face of King Yan, ignoring the rules and disciplines of the imperial court, acting recklessly, tyrannical temperament, persecuting our scholars and doctors to the fullest, using despicable means to loot people's wealth, and using the Jingjie as a private merger and people's property! Today, even if he kills us, he can't stop the mouths of the people of the world!"
His righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, if people who don't know see it, they really think that he is strong and unyielding for justice and justice.
, don't forget to bite back at this time, and splash my brother with dirty water, you are really a talent.
As soon as I walked out of the main hall, I heard this
After saying this, Zhao Mengqi was happy, "Remember, Xie Tang, you don't even have a Jinshi background, what kind of scholar doctor are you!?"
Xie Tang puffed out his chest and looked at Zhao Mengqi with a squint, "There is morality in his heart, everyone is a sage, Xie has a family background, he has studied the scriptures of the saint since he was a child, and he has practiced the righteousness of the saint, how can he not be regarded as a scholar?" His Royal Highness King Yan, even if you are powerful, Xie's conscience does not allow him to submit to you! My generation of scholars, righteous death, died well, but you, King Yan, competing with the people for profit, tyrannical and shameless, will be abandoned by the people of the world sooner or later, and in the end you will only be infamous through the ages and leave a stench for thousands of years!"
Tsk, everyone is a sage, are you trying to grab business with Yang Minggong?
Zhao Mengqi is not angry, noble is the pass of the despicable.
At this time, the officer leading the team spoke, "Xie Cang, although the last general can't understand what you are talking nonsense, there is one thing that must be corrected, that is, we are not on the orders of His Royal Highness King Yan, but on the orders of the Political Affairs Hall."
Hearing this, everyone present realized that the uniforms of this group of sergeants were slightly different from those around King Yan.
"Hey, it looks like they should be the guards and the military division, and some of the officials look at the clothes, as if they are from the Imperial Historical Observatory......
Immediately, a civil official wearing a pig-deer-crowned head walked out from behind the officer and looked directly at Xie Tang, "Shi Hong Tianxi, the servant in this official palace, Xie Tang, you are suspected of dereliction of duty, bribery, perversion of the law, and murder, the official family has issued a thorough investigation, and the political hall has also issued an order to suspend all your powers, now please follow me back to Wutai for review."
Xie Tang's face changed greatly, "No, it's impossible, this is a frame-up, Xie has never done anything wrong, someone must have deceived the official family, Xie is wronged, I want to face the saint and directly express my grievances to the official family!"
Although Queen Xie is not favored, she is the mother of a country after all, Zhao Yun has always been kind to the Xie family, and she also attaches great importance to the young and promising Xie Tang, otherwise she would not let him be promoted all the way to Cangsi in the year of his establishment.
Therefore, Xie Tang also fantasized that the queen would protect him, the officials would tolerate him, and importantly, the Manchu civil and military should protect him, after all, he fought with King Yan for the "collective good". Chinese Net
"Planting?" Hong Tianxi sneered, and then raised a list, "On June 20, someone took your warrant and transported 800,000 stone of grain from Pingjiang Changping, and at the same time, the 1.1 million yuan of surplus money in Changping's warehouse disappeared...... On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the treasurer Xu San's family walked in the water, and the whole family had no life...... On the sixth day of the first month, the prefect Zhai Ce and Ku Zikuicheng fell into the water drunk...... The official office of Jiaxing Mansion collapsed, and most of the account books were wet by the rain...... The canal warehouse in Linping Town stores more than four million stone of grain..."
Seeing that Xie Tang's face was getting paler and paler, Hong Tianxi said with a disdainful expression, "Do you still need to read it again?"
Xie Tang's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground like mud, his mouth kept opening and closing, and he kept emitting some meaningless syllables.
"Strip him of his crown and put him in a prison cart."
With a wave of his hand, a group of officials swarmed up, took off Xie Tang's official hat and uniform, and then put a whole set of shackles on him.
Where is this impeachment pending trial, it is simply the treatment of a convicted person, which shows that the imperial court has sufficient and conclusive evidence.
Seeing Xie Tang being escorted away, Zhao Mengqi smiled and said, "See, Gu Du said that it has nothing to do with me."
My Highness, can you stop deceiving yourself? Who doesn't know that the Imperial Observatory and the Imperial City Division are under your control.
Many people couldn't help but roll their eyes, but they didn't have much objection, after all, Xie Tang also deserved it.
In fact, this matter really has little to do with Zhao Mengqi, he is too lazy to put so much effort into it, mainly because Jiang Wanli insists on following the rules of the imperial court, so he used the Yushitai to start the impeachment process, of course, without the cooperation of the Imperial City Division, the Yushitai would not be able to find out the matter in such a short time.
Xie Tang was arrested, and the remaining 20 or so Haoqiang also felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, another group of officials came and walked straight to Xu Xueqian, "This official Jiaxing Mansion has been sentenced, and there is a bitter lord who sued the Xu family for beating people's lives seven years ago and taking away the land, so please ask the head of the Xu family to come to ......the court."
"It's a false accusation! Seven years ago, this case was concluded by Huating County, how can the case be overturned!?" Xu Xueqian argued loudly.
That pass
The judge said calmly, "Whether it is a false accusation or not, it still needs to be tried to know, in fact, it is not just this case, there are more than 20 other cases involving the Xu family, how specific, when you arrive at the mansion, you will naturally know, since the official will come, there is naturally a basis, and please cooperate with the head of the Xu family, don't make any ugly appearance, plain and make people laugh, if there is really any wrong, the government will naturally return the innocence."
"Hehe, is this what you mean, or is it what you Fan Prefect meant?" Xu Xueqian sneered.
The general judge said calmly, "It is not only the intention of the official, but also the meaning of the prefect."
"Okay, that Fan Cheng is the same age as my son, he used to be courteous in front of the old man, but now he turns his face and doesn't recognize people, since that's the case, then don't blame my son for having a good reward in the future."
Xu Xueqian was more angry than afraid at this time, and he was not worried about how big waves those cases could make.
Hong Tianxi, who was on the side, interjected, "Come to think of it, you should be Xu Mian Xu Shilang's father, right?"
"Xu Mian is my son!" Xu Xueqian looked proud.
"Oh..." Hong Tianxi frowned slightly, "There is bad news for you, Xu Shilang was impeached three days ago on suspicion of manipulating the imperial examination, and took the initiative to write a letter to resign, and the official family has been approved."
"What!?" This news made Xu Xueqian dizzy, "How come? How so?"
It is precisely because Xu Mian has been an official in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and this year he took over as the squire of the Ministry of Rites, and he is very likely to become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so the local officials always take care of the Xu family and turn a blind eye to some bad things in the Xu family.
Now that Xu Mian has fallen, it is still King Yan who has offended the Xu family, which official will cover up for the Xu family?
Next, a few more gentry were taken away by the official mission, although none of the cases involved were big cases, but the signal was already obvious.
How many of the Haoqiang families in this year can stand up to inspection?
