Minghui looked around, panicked for a while, but had no words to refute, so he had to force a state of righteous indignation, stretched out his trembling fingers, pointed at Cui Yi and said, "Okay! In that case, what's the use of keeping me as a servant of the Criminal Department? I'll go to Lord Ye right now and resign, and I won't be in the company of a treacherous villain like you! He cursed as he pushed through the crowd and strode out the door.

When Ye Yongjia heard this in the military department, he was greatly alarmed, and discussed with Cai Xianqing for a while, and then saw Minghuiguang coming alone, taking off his hat and resigning. Ye Yongjia hurriedly comforted him, and ordered Cui Yi and other officials to come and reprimand him for causing trouble for no reason, and he was not allowed to commit it again in the future. Minghui was angry for a while, and he didn't have the courage to resign, but when he saw that Ye Yongjia gave the steps, he said that he would give up; Cui Yi was forced to apologize deeply.

Although the turmoil on the surface has been eliminated, the relationship between the two is obviously irreconcilable, which makes Ye Yongjia feel powerless. He was reluctant to Cui Yi's talent and courage, and he needed someone like Minghuiguang to decorate the façade, so he had to try to alienate them, so in the name of personally handling the prison lawsuit, he ordered Minghui Guangchang to stay in Zhongshu Province without any changes in his authority.

He discussed with Cai Xianqing so far, and couldn't help but feel sad, and sighed: "Back then, Niu Yuan and Yan Wen poured into each other, and there were endless internal disputes, and I still thought that the willow thief was not able to control it; But who would have expected that the situation at that time would be repeated before my eyes...... Now that I think about it, how much better am I than them? ”

Cai Xianqing persuaded: "Tinglong should not be discouraged, although this matter is very tricky, as long as you hold the authority and prevent the slightest slight, you will be able to curb the struggle and make it harmless to the overall situation." Don't think about these unpredictable things, and deal with the things at hand first. ”

Ye Yongjia has always been obedient to Cai Xianqing, so he straightened out his emotions, and then took out the confession presented by Cui Yi, seeing these two mutual corroborations, he couldn't help but secretly praise this person's clever methods, and his mood was also slightly soothed. He didn't hesitate much, took it in his hand, and set off for the inner garden to face the saint.

Ye Dang's movements have been noticed by the Hunan people, and when he learned that Ye Yongjia had entered the forbidden place, he thought: "Ye Thief is cautious, and there must be something extraordinary when he goes to see His Majesty." It's better to go in with him and spy on the thief. After thinking about it, he didn't have time to discuss with his comrades Chen, so he went to the forbidden middle school alone.

"Lord Ye, are you here too?"

Ye Yongjia had just walked to the door of the dormitory, and before he even stepped up the steps, he heard someone shouting beside him. I only saw the Hunan people coming out of the spotted bamboo path on the side.

"Too good, disrespectful, disrespectful." He hugged the document attached to his chest and bent slightly towards the Hunan people.

"What are you doing here?" Guoxiang people saw the case file he was holding and asked suspiciously.

"Come and present the confession of the second offender to the emperor."

"Why, didn't you say hello to me beforehand?" Guoxiang slowly approached him, his boots sounding softly on the masonry, "It's true that you are the prisoner, but the emperor's edict says that the case is for you and me to jointly review and judge, and you must not be arbitrary." If you don't give me a few looks, how can I reply in front of the emperor? ”

Ye Yongjia looked at his aggressive posture with cold eyes, and thought in his heart: "If I show this guy the case file, he will know what I mean, so he will vigorously obstruct it in front of the emperor, in case that sentence hits the heart of the saint, everything will be over." It's better to trick him and catch him off guard. ’

He immediately changed his expression and said with a smile: "How dare Ye disobey His Majesty's will?" It's just that these confessions will have to be submitted sooner or later, and there is nothing to negotiate. ”

"What a saying, 'Why discuss'!" The Hunan people were already angry, and sneered a few times disdainfully, "Then I will see the emperor later, I will talk about this matter and see which is right and wrong in the eyes of His Majesty!" ”

Ye Yongjia said again: "I am bent on thinking about adults, not against you, why should you be angry?" Lianghou thought about it quietly, this Cunzhao is the emperor's nephew, Lan Yuan is the prince's cronies, and it is inconvenient for me and other courtiers to interfere. Now this document is glued with an envelope, if all of them are opened, and there are traces, Your Majesty may suspect that someone has changed, and you and I, as the two people in charge, must bear the brunt. Today is approaching an eventful autumn, Your Majesty has palpitations in his heart, most afraid of being deceived by his subordinates, afraid that the ministers will take advantage of the situation to form a party, we should be more careful in handling things. ”

"There is some truth in this," Guo Xiang was skeptical of his words, "but this must not be your excuse." I think that at the beginning, Taisu, who was the emperor's uncle, was severely interrogated, and you didn't have so many concerns, but enforced the law impartially, showing no mercy, and finally decided to Ling Chi. ”

Ye Yongjia seemed to be choked by his words, and said helplessly: "Since Lianghou insists on reading it, then Ye Mou can't persuade him, you can open these two documents if you are willing to open them." ”

Guo Xiang people had a little concern and asked: "Which is Cunzhao's confession?" ”

"These two confessions are about the same, and Lan Yuan explained in more detail." Although Ye Yongjia took out the copy of Cunzhao, he still muttered in his mouth.

But the Hunan people disagreed: 'This is the confusing words of the leaf thief, and it is not enough to rely on it. Then he silently opened Cunzhao's confession, and saw that it was written:

'The criminal recounts: Lan Yuan raised private animals in Henan and Huguang, peeped into the state capital, and mingled with the sergeants...... The sinner knew about it and did not report it, but did not help him to succeed. ’

He immediately became alert, looked up and saw that Ye Yongjia had a difficult look on his face, and he understood a little in his heart, and thought: 'This article may have been coerced by him, and letting Cunzhao say these words is nothing more than taking the opportunity to visit the place and pave the way for the new deal......

"Are the two adults going to enter the palace to face the saint? Why stay here? ”

Before the Hunan people could finish thinking, they were interrupted by this slender voice, and when they looked up to see that it was Shen Jing, the chief of the chamberlain, they hurriedly accepted the paperwork and said: "I am afraid of disturbing the emperor's rest, so I dare not shout." ”

"That's just right," Shen Jing said, "I still have to go into the palace to say hello, you just have to follow me." ”

Shen actually led the two to the front hall, because the emperor was dining at this time, so he delayed for a while, until the sun set outside, and he saw the emperor riding up to the palace and sitting with the curtain down. The two of them said long live, and they both knelt in front of the steps.

"What is the progress of the trial of the case?"

"Back to Your Majesty, in the first interrogation recently, the two of them recruited a lot," Ye Yongjia kowtowed and held the case file high, "The confession is here." ”

The eunuch handed over the confession, and the emperor's head seemed to nod: "If these two people are disobedient, what I guessed before is true." As for the actual situation, we should send someone to investigate. ”

Ye Yongjia took advantage of the conversation, hurriedly took a step on his knees, and said, "Please send someone from the military department to investigate the case!" The traitors will be visited one by one to repay the grace of God! ”

Before these words landed, Guo Xiang people immediately raised their heads, gritted their teeth and said: "The minister opposes Lord Ye's opinion!" ”
