The Emperor naturally believed in Xie Ji Ming's character and character, but if the evidence was conclusive and everyone supported him, I'm afraid even he wouldn't be able to protect him in a high-sounding way.
"Yes, Wei Chen found out that he was the Minister of Industry." Cui Xuhong reported back to the emperor, and indeed he gave the same answer as everyone thought, but he paused and then said his name: "Fang Bolun. "
?
When Cui Xuhong said this, not only the ministers were dumbfounded, but the emperor was also surprised.
He was originally thinking about how to save Xie Jiming and who to arrange to investigate the matter, but he suddenly heard an unexpected name.
The most shocked people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were the people in the Ministry of Works.
what happened
Wasn't it Xie Jiming that they had discussed together
Fang Bolun's facial expression was even more exciting. He had a stiff smile on his face, which looked a little ferocious. He glanced at Cui Xuhong with disbelief and asked: "Master Cui, did you say the wrong name?"
The people from the Ministry of Industry also looked at Cui Xuhong. Mr. Cui couldn't distinguish the names of the left and right ministers.
"The evidence is conclusive. I have captured those who cut corners. If you still want to deny it, the emperor can summon you and ask." Cui Xuhong was not lying. He had already ordered the soldiers from the Ministry of Industry on the way here. , went to arrest the workers who deliberately caused the collapse of the building.
This idea originally came from Fang Bolun, and the workers naturally gave it to him.
Therefore, Cui Xuhong suddenly bit back, and Fang Bolun really had no way of denying it.
"Mr. Cui, you know all these things. There are so many people in the Ministry of Works. Who doesn't know about this? Now it all depends on me?" Fang Bolun didn't know what went wrong, but Cui Xuhongruo I want him to take the blame alone.
Impossible, if you want to die, everyone will die together!
"You all know about this?" Cui Xuhong asked pretendingly to the people in his Ministry of Industry.
Naturally, everyone in the Ministry of Industry shook their heads in unison. Although they didn't know why Cui Xuhong suddenly retorted, they were not willing if Fang Bolun wanted to drag them into the water.
"Your Majesty, this minister is usually domineering and puts more pressure on us." Someone from the Ministry of Works took the lead to add insult to injury, and the rest of the people immediately agreed: "Yes, he deceived his superiors and abused his power. He must have done this kind of thing." More than once or twice.”
"It's Wei Chen who has neglected his duty. He has been thinking about his friendship with the Ministry of Industry for so many years, not to mention..." Cui Xuhong paused at this point and glanced at Xiao Yanjun silently.
The people in the hall just remembered that Fang Bolun was also someone who was included in the admission list by Xiao Yanjun back then. In this way, he can be regarded as Xiao Yanjun's person.
"Cui Xuhong, what do you mean?" Xiao Yanjun felt angry when he saw him.
Cui Xuhong quickly panicked and comforted him: "Don't get me wrong, Your Highness King Yu. I just didn't expect that Fang Bolun would dare to take advantage of you. It's in vain that you still treat him..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I have nothing to do with him." Xiao Yanjun quickly interrupted him.
"Yes, yes, no, no." Cui Xuhong responded fearfully.
It's just that it was repeated twice deliberately, and no one in this palace knows the meaning.
Fang Bolun originally wanted him dead when he saw the people in the Ministry of Industry taking advantage of the situation, and hoped that Xiao Yanjun could say a few good words for him, but as a result, His Royal Highness King Yu hurriedly cleared the relationship with him, which made him feel like Ashes.
Fang Bolun looked at Xie Jiming fiercely, thinking that he must have done something.
But Xie Jiming was also at a loss at this moment. He was already prepared to accept dismissal from office.
I never thought how things could develop like this.
Fang Bolun stared at Xie Jiming, but Xie Jiming stared at Cui Xuhong.
"Master Cui, it seems that some people don't like you sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry." Xiao Mubai knew since he saw Cui Xuhong entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a bruised nose and a swollen face that Xie Ji Ming should not have anything to do today.
But what he didn't expect was that he could kill two birds with one stone and dirty Xiao Yanjun.
Therefore, he would pass on words from time to time, deliberately leading the courtiers to think elsewhere.
"Yes, it stands to reason that the old minister should give way to a more talented person after he can't serve for two years. By then, in terms of seniority, he should be the chamberlain. Maybe some people are too impatient and want to expel the old minister and help him rise to the position." Cui Xuhong also cooperated, carrying a gun. The stick made insinuations, and although he didn't name him by name, the courtiers knew who the 'someone' was referring to without even thinking about it.
In addition, now that Cui Xuhongshang still has a bruised nose and a swollen face, the courtiers looked at Xiao Yanjun and felt that he was even more unkind.
Xiao Yanjun couldn't even scold him. If he was furious with him at this moment, it would appear that he was eager to separate the relationship and became angry.
In the end, it was Du Hanfei who spoke up and wanted to end the matter quickly: "Now that Mr. Cui has found out the whole story, he will deal with it according to law."
"Master Kong, how should this be handled according to law?" Xiao Mubai asked Kong Changhui.
Now that he is the Minister of Justice, Xiao Mubai's question is in line with his position.
"According to the laws of the Xiao Kingdom, one should be dismissed from office. If corruption and bribery are involved, one's home will be confiscated and jailed." Kong Changhui came out, and his reply was clear and loud.
He and Xie Ji Ming were already on the same page. Although I don't know exactly how miserable Xie Ji Ming's life was at the Ministry of Works, I had heard that he was isolated by the ministers.
At this time, I was able to get a chance to vent my anger for him, so I was extremely proud of my natural answer.
"Then deal with it according to law and take it down." The emperor waved his hand, and the two men immediately stepped forward and dragged Fang Bolun down, who shouted, "Unjustly accused, like a nest of snakes and rats."
"General Shi's letter will arrive in the capital at the end of the month. You, the Ministry of Industry, hurry up and make sure there are no more mistakes in the mansion. You can't let the Mongolian princess come to the capital and have no place to live and make people laugh." The emperor opened his mouth and ordered Cui Xuhong.
"Yes, Master Youjie will help me and everything will go smoothly." Cui Xuhong replied respectfully, and praised Xie Jiming by the way.
Xie Jiming was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He had been in the Ministry of Industry for almost three months and had never received a good look before. He was suddenly praised by his superior and he didn't react. It was Kong Changhui who hurriedly whispered to him: "Xie Sir, please reply."
Only then did Xie Jiming react and bowed with Cui Xuhong: "I will do my best to assist Mr. Cui."
When there was no one in the court to report, the emperor announced his withdrawal from the court.
The ministers left the Hall of Supreme Harmony discussing in twos and threes, but Xie Jiming pulled Cui Xuhong: "Master Cui, what is going on?"
Cui Xuhong touched the swollen area on his face, sighed with lingering fear, and complained a little to Xie Jiming.
"If Mr. Jie had made your identity clear earlier, no one in the Ministry of Industry would dare to deliberately make things difficult for you."
