Chapter 123: The Death of the Heroes and the End of the Road (5)
"Why are you here?"
Wan Heshun hurriedly got up from the circle chair and nervously asked the Guoxiang people in front of him.
"Cui Yi has been arrested," the Hunan man dusted off his clothes without explaining too much, "The documents over there have also been brought, and they are all clear evidence of the new deal that has brought disaster to the country." I am ready to meet Your Majesty now, this time...... We must make the Ye Party cornered! ”
"I'll go with you," Wan He said, "but I wonder if you informed Lord Chen?" ”
Xiang said: "Lord Chen has already allowed me to act cheaply, and I will be the master alone." What's more, the leaf thieves are scheming, causing us to suffer a lot of losses, and if we wait any longer, we may come up with some tricks. It should be better to do it quickly. ”
So the two of them made a decision, and together they took the book to the inner garden to report the change.
"Your Majesty!"
The kowtow of the Hunan people was particularly loud, and he said with a little choked, "This is all ironclad evidence seized from the local area!" Now they are doing everything they can, in order to deceive His Majesty's ears and eyes, they do not hesitate to hide the disaster, and watch hundreds of thousands of people starve to death! Once the incident happens, it is inevitable that the monarch will be infamous for being unreasonable...... Fortunately, the minister used a trick to catch the thief and was able to escape and report the news, otherwise how to save the lives of the community! ”
The emperor slowly closed the document and said calmly: "I thought that the new deal was a good deed, but I didn't think that it would be a mistake. It is frightening that thieves have deceived the court to such an extent. ”
The Hunan people pushed the boat down the river and said: "Please Your Majesty immediately condemn Ye Yongjia and wipe out their henchmen!" ”
The emperor sighed: "Ye Yongjia is an important minister of this dynasty after all, so if he is arrested at will, where will he put the face of the country?" Let's first investigate in detail the culprit who presided over the new policy back then. It's that Wan Yuzhi. ”
Xiang Ren raised his eyes slightly: "This is a person from the military department...... Who is better to judge? ”
"Since it's such a big case, why avoid any suspicion? In my opinion, it is better to hand over Dali Temple. ”
The Hunan people's tight breath was finally released, and they said word by word: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
At dawn the next day, the emperor issued an edict, saying, 'According to the news of foreign officials, the plague in Henan is now rampant, and the people are displaced. It is also known that the root cause of this disaster lies in the new policy, and the culprit Wan Yuzhi is the mastermind, and the criminal is transferred to Dali Temple for interrogation; Ye Yongjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, used improper personnel, shielded his henchmen, and removed all official positions. It's just that there is no mention of Cui Yi.
Ye Yongjia took the edict, and he already had nine points in his heart, and immediately looked left and right, and saw that the surroundings were dead and silent, deserted, and only Dong Sheng stood alone in the hall, sighing.
"Lord Ye......" Dong Sheng wanted to persuade him a few words, but he was so depressed that he couldn't think of a word of relief.
"Cui Yi shouldn't be able to come back," Ye Yongjia looked blankly into the distance, "But it's not bad, this poisonous plan doesn't work, and the pressure on my body is reduced a little...... Go so freely, and live up to anyone. ”
Dong Sheng sighed with infinite emotion, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stepped forward to support him and said, "Let's go, let's go to the prison of the Criminal Department to send a gift to Wan Zhu, maybe it's the last time." ”
Wan Yuzhi sat on the weeds with a disgrace, looking at Ye and Wan Erren from the cold iron window. He was silent, and folded countless roots of the hay at hand, before he asked softly:
"...... it's over?"
Ye Yongjia swallowed his tears and nodded unwillingly: "So to speak." Cui Yi's whereabouts are unknown now, and the emperor wants to move you to Dali Temple again. The next step is to rush at me. ”
"Isn't this still over?" Wan Yuzhi shook the hay residue in his hand, "Engong rest assured, no matter where I am taken or what kind of capital punishment is used, I will not be afraid!" I'm afraid you want to give up ......"
"Cui Yi also persuaded me, and you also persuaded me, but Ye Mou is really tired," Ye Yongjia shook his head tiredly, "I understand that all those who have unpaid ambitions want to fight until the last moment and fight for a dignified and unyielding heroic ending, but what's the use?" The New Deal was still a complete failure. I'm tired of being pushed along by those false names, and I've lost a lot along the way. ”
"No matter what, we have to give an account to the people of the world and to the people of future generations," Wan Yuzhi was filled with righteous indignation, "let them know that we are not traitors and traitors, but people with lofty ideals who are bent on saving the country!" ”
"The new deal is right and wrong, Qianqiu has his own comments, and we can't give an 'explanation', and we don't have the right to 'explain'. Cangsheng Li Shu does not have the right to speak, what is the degree of speculation in our chests, isn't this a kind of self-righteousness? Ye Yongjia said solemnly.
Wan Yuzhi was speechless, laughed a few times with relief, and said: "Let's go, let's go, it's better to wait for death than to wait for death, once the time is no longer urgent, I will naturally cherish the days in front of me." Brother Ming, I will die before you, you cherish! ”
Ye Yongjia and Dong Sheng cried and said goodbye to him.
……
Somewhere. On the main hall.
"We're finally done worshipping our ancestors, so sit down and drink some tea and rest!"
The noisy shouts of a bunch of people broke the silence of the hall, and they stepped in one after another, moved out several circle chairs, and sat down humbly with each other, each wiping the sweat of his palms with a cloth.
"Actually, this ancestor worship is also a troublesome matter, just deal with it," one of the old people said, "But the nephew of the second brother's family is so serious that he puts a lot of money on it, but we can't get off the stage." ”
The people next to him all muttered: "Obviously I was dismissed and came back, but I like to be in the limelight like that, thinking that I have really become a character." ”
"Don't ridicule him, the imperial court has just issued an edict recently, and if Chunji hears it, he will definitely be even more annoyed."
"What edict?"
"Ye Yongjia, who he used to follow, has been dismissed from his official position, and he will be imprisoned soon."
A lonely man sitting behind them was peeling oranges, and when he heard this, his hands seemed to freeze and he didn't move. After a while, he stood up, his eyes glazed over, and walked straight out the door.
"Alas, Minghui Light!" The old man called his name, "What are you going to do?" ”
Minghuiguang didn't look back, standing in front of the threshold, the sun shone all over his body: "Uncle Yu, the younger generation has something to go home for." So saying, without waiting for instructions, he walked into the street.
He walked like a walking corpse, and when he reached his bedchamber, he dragged a cleaning boy and said, "Go and get a torch for the master." It should burn strongly. ”
The little guy sounded strange, and asked cautiously: "Why is the master ...... in this broad daylight?"
Before he finished speaking, the calm Minghui suddenly burst out, glared at the eyes that seemed to burst, slapped him in the face, and roared: "Master let you go, what kind of fart are you farting!" If you can't do it, get out! ”
