Emperor Yuan Jing knew that the battle in the court was like cooking a small fresh, and only by simmering slowly could he stew a satisfactory taste.

Win over a group of people, suppress a group of people, and the cycle is gradual. In the process, it is necessary to give the enemy a chance to counterattack and vent, and wear down the opponent's spirit and fighting spirit a little bit.

If he, the king of a country, overrides public opinion and forcibly convicts Wei Yuan, the final result will be a repetition of the situation in which the ministers besieged the Wumen after the death of King Huai.

The ministers surrounded the noon gate, wasn't it the reason why he was too fierce.

The follow-up operation and layout, which reversed the nature of the Chuzhou case little by little, perfectly fit the theory of simmering slowly.

Emperor Yuan Jing walked through the palace and looked up at the blue sky in the distance, but it was because he wanted to keep his luck balanced and not leak it. And now, what he has to do is shake luck.

Since the two countries of Yankang are so poor, then he will do it himself.

On that day, although the battle could not be qualified, there were different voices in the court after all, which was a very important signal for the Beijing officials who had a keen sense of smell and were good at analyzing the situation in the court.

If you want to take sides, you have to make a choice now.

If you don't stand in line, then shut up obediently and wait and see what happens.

In the following two days, the Great Dynasty Meeting and the Small Dynasty Meeting were held several times, and the former Wei Party members did not give an inch, and the United Wang Party fiercely argued with Yuan Xiong and Qin Yuandao's henchmen.

Emperor Yuanjing, as in the past few decades, held high the throne and watched the tiger fight.

The most surprising thing is Wang Shoufu, the old Shoufu who has been fighting with Wei Yuan for half his life, with an incredible attitude, unswervingly stands on the side of the former Wei Party members, and has done his best for Wei Yuan's name and the characterization of this battle.

............

In front of a small courtyard in the north of the city.

A high-end and luxurious carriage slowly stopped on the side of the street, and a middle-aged man in regular clothes got out of the carriage, surrounded by his servants, and knocked on the door of the small courtyard.

The one who opened the door was a delicate little daughter-in-law wearing a cloth skirt? When he saw so many men at the door, he was startled and hurriedly closed the door.

Hu Cong stretched out his hand to block? Reprimanded: "Don't be rude? Do you know who is standing in front of you? ”

The little daughter-in-law can't close the door? A little panicked back, shouted into the house: "Mother, there are guests ........."

A silver-haired old woman on crutches? Coming out of the house? Vigilantly looked at the group of uninvited guests: "Who are you?"

The old woman was also very rich and noble, just by glancing at it, it was expensive to make the fabric of a middle-aged man? Well-made clothing? And the jade pendant hanging from the waist? The identity of the person identified is unusual.

This made the old woman even more vigilant.

The goal of those court lackeys is very clear? Is it extortion? Hateful though? It's good to come clearly. Moreover, now that the family is surrounded by walls, life is hard, and such inhuman lackeys disdain to come again.

What is the matter with this middle-aged man in front of him, who must be noble?

Certainly not for the silver.

Middle-aged man standing in the courtyard? A few cooing hens in the corner? And the faint smell of in the air made his brow furrow slightly.

"Are you Lu Zhennan's wife?" he asked.

Lu Zhennan is Lu Ye's real name.

The old woman suddenly erupted into a loud cry? Throw the cane on the ground and sit on it? Give full play to the usual methods of, in short, sell screams and grievances first, and put yourself at the highest moral point.

The old woman has not read and is illiterate? These are all the experiences and truths that have been experienced in the market.

But the middle-aged man's words made the old woman's cry instantly stuck, like an old hen who had been choked by her neck.

"Do you want to overturn the case for Lu Zhennan?"

The old woman neither nodded nor refused, just looked at the middle-aged man in a daze.

The middle-aged man smiled, and used the wording that could be understood by the woman in the market as much as possible:

"The official who exiled your son is called Wei Yuan, and he is the head of the yamen. As for him, he is now dead on the battlefield. Some people want to overturn the case for those innocent people who were framed by Wei Yuan, return their innocence, and rule a clear mind.

"As long as you go to the noon gate after lunch, knock on the drum, and accuse Wei Yuan of amassing too much money and slandering the good people, I can guarantee that your exiled son will come back to reunite with you before this year's spring festival. ”

The old woman's eyes were bright and bright.

Immediately, he was a little scared, and muttered in a low voice: "Suing the royal court is going to be punished." ”

According to the law of Dafeng, those who exceed the lawsuit shall be punished with fifty lashes.

If you win, there will be no hindrance in the follow-up. defeated, sentenced to travel 2,000 miles and even lost his life.

At the age of the old woman, she was fifty, let alone a lawsuit, and she was reunited with the old man on the spot, and both husband and wife cast their babies.

The middle-aged man sneered: "Don't worry, we will keep you safe, if you die, won't we work in vain?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the servants beside him.

Hu Cong dropped a piece of gold, a pleading.

The middle-aged man said: "The pleadings have been written for you, this matter is done, not only can your son come back, but afterwards, there will be a reward of fifty taels of gold, which is enough for your family to live a life of fine clothes and food." ”

The old woman's teeth gritted her heart: "Thank you for being the master of the people's wife!"

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction: "The process and method of suing the royal court, I will teach you .......... now"

..............

On the same day, the drums outside the noon gate were loud, and an old woman with her daughter-in-law and little grandson beat the Dengwen drum outside the noon gate, accusing Wei Yuan of amassing money and slandering the good people.

Emperor Yuan Jing, who had been neglecting government for 21 years, was furious when he heard the words and ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to strictly investigate the matter.

This news spread rapidly among the Beijing officials, and the undercurrent of the Beijing officialdom was turbulent.

The old woman was immediately taken away by the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and she was taken to the interrogation room of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, trembling and bowing her head.

Market women have a natural fear of the government.

"It's Lu Li's down there?"

After the big case, the dignified voice of the presiding judge was heard.

"The women are. The old woman said in a trembling voice.

"Look up. And the majestic voice spoke.

The old woman slowly raised her head, and saw the appearance of the official behind the big case, and almost screamed out in shock, this official was the middle-aged man who came to visit not long ago and taught her to sue the emperor.

"This official Yuan Xiong, what grievances do you have, tell me the truth. ”

"The people, what the women want to say, are written in the pleadings. ”

"Not enough, we need to be more detailed. The officer asked you, and you replied, "Don't hide it, understand?" ”

"Yes........."

"Your husband Lu Zhennan, can he sell people a little and kidnap good families, children and adult men?"

"There is no such thing, the husband of the folk woman is a small merchant in the cloth business, how can a diligent and good citizen sell a little people. ”

"Then why did the sword master of the Renyazi organization insist that Lu Zhennan was the leader of the organization?"

"The women don't know, the women have never heard of this person, besides, my husband had died of illness at that time, and it was all up to them to slander and bully the dead and not speak. ”

"Oh, the sin of desire. Yuan Xiong nodded, and asked again: "After the Lu family was copied, what happened to you?"

"Those watchmen came to the house twice in three days to make trouble and ask for money. ”

"Oh, extortion, fish and flesh people. What else?"

"They also molested my daughter-in-law. ”

"Oh, I have defiled your daughter-in-law, and I have committed adultery with a good family. ”

...........

Soon, Yuan Xiong entered the palace with the results of the interrogation and reported to Emperor Yuan Jing.

Emperor Yuan Jing immediately summoned all the princes and held a small court meeting in the imperial study.

"Bang!"

Emperor Yuanjing slapped the case, and Long Yan was furious:

"After beating people to accumulate excessive wealth, bullying good people, and causing their wives to be separated, they still don't want to let go, knock out the bones and suck the marrow, and defile the people's daughters......... The scourge of the officials has been accumulating for a long time, but I didn't expect that the watchman who was supposed to supervise hundreds of officials had rotted to this point. I am deeply saddened. I am very disappointed in Wei Yuan.

"I treated him as a national soldier, and he became a national thief. ”

Liu Hong, the imperial historian of Zuodu, came out and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it is a matter of Duke Wei, such a big case should be tried by the three divisions, and you can't listen to Yuan Xiong's words." ”

He is Wei Yuan's confidant, in this case, he wants to avoid suspicion, and the members of the Wei Party have to avoid suspicion, and they are excluded by Emperor Yuan Jing and are not allowed to meddle in this case.

Emperor Yuan Jing sneered: "The three divisions will be tried, have you come up with the result of the trial? When the Fu Concubine case was tried, you tried the crown prince, what did you come up with? It's all some prevarication. ”

The princes were speechless for a while.

Wang Shoufu came out and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this case is serious, this is not in accordance with the rules, please try it with the three divisions." ”

Qin Yuandao, the squire of the military department, immediately stood up and retorted, saying:

"At the time of Jingcha, the watchman Yamen went up to the golden gong and down to the copper gong, and he was imprisoned for corruption and bribery. The corrupt atmosphere has been around for a long time, and now that Wei Yuan is dead, this group of corrupt scum has no shelter. The minister believes that it is an excellent time to thoroughly investigate and fight the people and sweep out the Shen Zhen. ”

Emperor Yuan Jing no longer looked at him, stared at Yuan Xiong, and said:

"Yuan Aiqing, I will hand over the watchman yamen to you now, you check it well, be sure to sweep away the scabies, and return me a clean watchman yamen. ”

Yuan Xiong was ecstatic, didn't let his emotions go on the surface, and shouted: "Yes!"

...........

The princes dispersed, and the military department Shangshu hurried to catch up with Wang Shoufu, and said in a low voice: "Lord Shoufu, what is going on now?"

Obviously, His Majesty wants to use this to discredit Duke Wei, when all kinds of "darkness" in the yamen of the watchman surface, where can Wei Yuan, as the leader of the watchman, be clean?

At that time, don't even think about what loyal warriors and what dukes.

Wang Shoufu replied to the question: "Have you noticed that there are more and more silent people. ”

The face of the military department Shangshu changed.

Wang Shoufu said lightly: "Be optimistic about your own people, officialdom people take tea and cool, and the truth has been unbreakable for thousands of years." ”

The old man looked back and looked at the palace with a tired face.

.........

Yuan Xiong left the palace in a carriage, neither returned to the Imperial Historical Observatory, nor did he take up the new official and went straight to the Yamen.

"The one who is most familiar with the watchman must still be the watchman, and if you want to get things done as quickly as possible, the help of that person is indispensable. ”

Yuan Xiong squinted, his fingers quietly tapping his knees.

With his wheels on his wheels, he left the imperial city, drove through the inner city for half an hour, and arrived at a mansion.

Zhu Mansion!
