Chapter 41 The prime minister is dismissed, and the villain is victorious
"Uncle, this land has been requisitioned by the government. Sign it, and the owner of the land is not you. ”
"Official, you can't take the land away! Our family still relies on it to feed their bellies!"
"The official family said that they would take it away, how could you stop the old man? What are you talking about? ”
The official looked a little impatient, and beckoned the people who were traveling with him to come forward and hold down the old man, forcibly took his hand and signed the title deed. The old man couldn't resist a few of their young men, and watched his land being taken away.
"Are you guys, do you have any heavenly reason? This is our last food and clothing!"
Seeing that the old man was exerting his strength to entangle them, the official did not let go, so he went up and kicked him fiercely.
"Don't toast and don't eat and drink, hum!"
The official gasped and said viciously to the old man.
"I'm going to ...... I'm going to the government to sue you......! Don't get too complacent!"
"Hahahaha! Did you hear me? This old man is going to sue us! Tsk, old man...... Listen to the persuasion of the juniors...... It's all this age, don't toss anymore. In case there are three long and two short, the mother-in-law at home will cry on the grave. ”
Seeing that this group of officials was arrogant, the old man glared angrily and stood up from the ground.
"What if Lao Er has to sue your government for punishment?"
"Hey, why are some people so good at talking?!Do you know who our boss is?...... That's someone you can't afford to offend...... Lord Shangshu and the family of gate valves. ”
Hearing the words of the servant, the old man squirmed his chapped lips and was stunned for a long time. It wasn't until the officials left with his title deed that the onlookers dared to come forward to persuade the old man.
Do those officials still have any conscience? The land cultivated by the peasant households around the capital will be confiscated, and this will continue...... Isn't it messed up?"
"What's even more odious is to take away the land of the peasant households in the name of the official, and if you don't know, it will arouse the anger of the people, and if you know, you will ...... Either threatened or secretly dealt with. ”
"Prime Minister Han, Lao Tzu can't stand it! Those people in the Dong faction are simply not a thing!" As he spoke, General Jin picked up the sword on the table on a whim and wanted to find them.
"General, we must not be reckless and impulsive! This move of the Dong faction officials deliberately provoked us, but on the contrary, they fell for it. ”
"General Jin, the Prime Minister's words are not unreasonable. Now that they are in the limelight, they will not be cured in a moment. ”
"Your Highness, you can't do nothing, can you?!"
"General, the officials of the Dong faction and the family of gate lords behind them are making waves, do you think they will always have the upper hand?"
"Could it be that His Highness wants to ......?"
"Recently, the sixth child also returned to the palace, and he was just made a loose official by his father. is worried that there is nothing to do, and they all say that the new official has three fires in office...... Why don't you leave it to her? ”
In the face of the growing power of the Dong faction officials and the family of gate lords, the eldest brother, Prime Minister Han Cheng and General Jin all felt that this was a cancer and could no longer keep it.
In the court, Zhao Daren, an official of the Dong faction, made a preemptive strike. He wrote to the emperor and said that Prime Minister Han had many omissions in his work, and that he was originally a minister who commanded a hundred officials, and now his subordinates were derelict in their duties and engaged in favoritism, causing them to make big mistakes. Han Cheng, who was turned over the old accounts and caught the handle, immediately made a statement that he was willing to accept any punishment from the emperor.
Lord Zhao saw Prime Minister Han respectfully kneeling on the ground, watching His Majesty hesitate. His eyes motioned to other officials, and pointed out that the officials under Prime Minister Han Cheng were not doing things well and did not enforce the law impartially. Seeing that more than half of the ministers of the DPRK and China stood up to criticize him, Prime Minister Han Cheng did not defend himself too much at all, and remained silent.
The Emperor clenched his fists and opened his mouth in a low voice.
"Lord Zhao, do you have any evidence to impeach the head of the hundred officials in front of everyone?"
Lord Zhao knew that the emperor would not easily believe his words, so he took out the fold that he had already prepared and handed it to his father-in-law. The emperor took the fold and became more and more angry, and scolded Prime Minister Han loudly, throwing the fold in his hand in front of him.
"Look at the good things these people are doing!"
The more he read it, the more angry he became------ what was the crime he wanted to add?
"The human and material evidence are all there, and the official has nothing to say. ”
Seeing Prime Minister Han like this, the emperor ordered the guards to put Prime Minister Han in prison first, and then dismissed him from his post as prime minister. Seeing that Prime Minister Han Cheng was taken away by the guards, and the emperor removed him from his official position in front of the ministers, the officials of the Dong faction couldn't be happier.
