When the ministers in the cabinet go up to office, there is no one who does not ask the emperor to stay for two or three times. The three chief assistants Wan, Liu, and Yin tried to read a book with careful thought.
Liu Cifu's heart was settled.
As long as the emperor does not allow him to resign this time, he will never submit a second letter, and he will be dragged in the center of life and death, occupying the highest position in the world. With so many people coming and going in the center in the past few decades, who couldn't bear to resign? As long as he can hold on to it and stay alive, what's the use of those people below who don't like him anymore
His Liu Mian's reputation didn't come for nothing!
Liu Cifu's leisurely bearing also gave Wan and Yin a reassurance. The two compare themselves with him, one feels that he can write novels and can win the Sacred Heart, the other feels that he is younger than Shoufu and has a greater affection for the late emperor, no matter how he thinks, he is more involved than him, who relies on relationships and shame. If you have the qualifications, you should be able to sit in the cabinet for a few more years.
And the young emperor does not seem to pay attention to "one emperor and one courtier", but loves to use old officials. As soon as he ascended the throne, he ordered the eunuch Wynn, Ma Wensheng and Wang Shu, who had been used by the previous emperor, to return to the dynasty. The two of them are also old people who were used by the previous emperor, and Liu Cifu is much older. Presumably the new emperor is willing to keep them... right
The two patriarchs knew that their reputations and achievements were not comparable to those of the two Zheng ministers who were expelled from the center by Emperor Chenghua, but who were at the highest positions in the court, who would be willing to go!
And a day is a day.
In order to make a good impression on the new emperor, the three elders immediately asked people to submit a petition to ask the emperor's biological mother Gongkezhuang Xishu to be named the empress dowager of the Virgin Mary.
Concubine Wan's only remaining younger brother, Wan Xi, was also imprisoned.
Wan Shoufu disregarded the friendship between the two clans and the kinship between the concubine and the Wan family, and asked the outsider to send a message to the Xie family in person, asking Xie Zhenfu to interrogate Wanxi well. The Wan family brothers must be thoroughly investigated for their numerous crimes of taking bribes and occupying Huangzhuang over the years, as well as the matter of Li Dongyang's impeachment that they lent the prince the opportunity to choose a concubine to seize the daughter of a good family!
Just like what the Yutai County Chancellor said in the shuzhong, Shen, "the old one hurts after the mother," should give the new one a target to vent his anger—of course, he must not be implicated in his ten thousand songs.
Xie Zhenfu responded very happily in front of him, and when he arrived at the Zhenfu Division the next day, he sealed up the things sent by Wanjia, and recorded what he said in the file.
Wanxi must be tried, but he is not willing to hide anything for Wan Shoufu, and he will not pick him out innocently as Wan Ge wants. Jinyiwei is the emperor's close attendant, and he is only on the order of the emperor. How can he bend his waist for the power of the minister
He doesn't care what the other commanders, errands, and pacifiers do, but he is Xie Qingtian, who is sung in the book, a righteous gentleman worthy of Cui Hanlin's admiration, and his actions cannot betray his image in the hearts of the world.
Wan Shoufu's meaning, he also told Wanxi without reservation and personally: "Wan Shoufu's meaning, I am afraid I don't want to let the adults out of this town Fusi Zhao prison. "Is there anyone in Ying and Jin Yiwei who has never been favored by the adults? Although Xie Ying can't save the adults out today, he can't let the adults be framed by others unknowingly."
Wan Xi's heart trembled as she heard it, and tears came down, grabbing Xie Ying's hand and saying, "Wan An is killing me! It's time!"
He was not as brave and determined as his elder sister Wan Guifei. He couldn't remember anything except wailing. While crying, he muttered about how to envy his elder brother to die before his elder sister and the late emperor, so he didn't have to suffer.
Xie Ying came here to lure confessions, not to listen to his memory of his brother who was mad at him for being cuckolded, so he couldn't help interrupting him and said, "Does your lord die if you want to? A monk who is a monk is just dismissed and sent back to his place of origin, without heavy punishment. There is no intention to kill the adults, as long as the adults are willing to return the property and real estate that they have greedily occupied, there may not be a chance to leave the prison!"
Wanxi suddenly stopped recalling her brother, looked at Xie Ying with anticipation and asked, "As expected? My brother can't lie to me!"
Xie Ying sighed: "Your Excellency used to be the commander of Jinyiwei, and the Son of Heaven sent His Excellency to the imperial prison, instead of handing it over to those civil servants who were charged with unauthorized charges, wouldn't it be a lenient sentence?"
Although the emperor sent Wanxi to the Zhenfu Division, it was because their Zhenfu Division was a place that specialized in serious cases. But he said it sincerely, Wanxi has been frightened these days, and was betrayed and framed by the old man Wange. At this time, he would rather believe what he said, and couldn't wait to explain how many bribes he had received, which farms he had seized, and his relationship with the ministers in the DPRK. contacts…
He also explained the filthy relationship between Wan Gelao and Ni Jinxian, the censor of bird washing, and his scandalous act of giving the former emperor bird washing medicine to win his favor.
He vowed to say: "Wan An entered this kind of filth without permission, both the imperial concubine and the middle officials are well aware of it!"
When Chao Shoufu actually did such a thing, Rao Xieying was a calm envoy who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, and was surprised and lost for a while.
This kind of thing... He is too embarrassed to write it in the narration! If it is written so that people can see it, the reputation of the late emperor is still there! As a last resort, he could only vaguely write in the memorial that the elder Wan An Jin presented the gift of overreaching, and asked the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation in the palace.
When he wrote the letter, the censors Jiang Hong, Tang Nai, and Shuji Zou Zhi successively impeached Wan An for taking bribes, appointing private individuals, ordering examiners to cheat, and making his descendants and nephews Jinshi. The emperor saw that this first assistant was not upright, and was about to scolded Wan An by the imperial censor's play, and Xie Ying's memorial was just in time.
Since Wange Lao recognized Wan Guifei as his aunt back then, the two families often exchanged money and money. Wanxi's family has an account book, and he clearly remembers the gold, silver, treasures, and property sent by Wan'an, which is exactly the evidence that the emperor needs. The only thing that was written in a vague and vague way was that "things that are more polite", so that people didn't look like the words that should be in the case file.
However, in the old days, the Wan family was powerful, and the ministers in the DPRK and China had to bow their heads to the Wan family more or less. In fact, few veteran ministers were able to find the innocence to the end.
The emperor did not want to make a big case that would affect the entire court, he took the account books confiscated by Wanjia for a long time, and finally gave a simple approval: "I ordered him to dismiss the farmland given to him, and let him go back to his house. The detained sons of the good family will hand over the ill-gotten wealth to the Ministry of Household, and those who conceal it will be held accountable by the Ministry of Household.”
As for Concubine Wan, the person has passed, and the matter has passed, and no brother has been implicated because of the sin of marrying a daughter. On Wan Shoufu's side, since he didn't blame the person for his dealings with Concubine Wan, he would use other charges - let's see what he offered to the palace.
The Son of Heaven summoned the two eunuchs Tan and Gao, who had been most favored in the imperial court in recent years, and asked them if they had ever seen the old man of Wange go into something.
The two tried to figure out the new emperor's intentions, because they didn't want to keep the old man from the previous dynasty, so they recklessly said that the old man had been put in bird washing medicine and was reprimanded by the previous emperor once. .
The new emperor was only eighteen years old, and there was only one concubine, the concubine Zhang Niang, in the harem. He had never heard of such a filthy thing. When he heard that the first assistant could deliver bird washing medicine to the palace, his face turned blue. Eunuch Wynn, who had just been transferred back from Fengyang, also frowned and gave them an annoyed look—
How can this kind of thing be said outright and filthy holy? The emperor is still so young, be gentle!
Qin Chang and Gao Liang were on the verge of changing dynasties. They were afraid that they would be replaced as eunuchs from the previous dynasty. Since the emperor would do his best to say what he wanted to hear, how could he be polite
Not only was he not tactful, but after he finished talking about the bird washing medicine, he was afraid that he would not be able to say it completely, so he searched his stomach and recalled the back-to-back connection between the emperor and the old man of Wan Ge...
"There are also memorials!" Eunuch Gao was finally a few years younger than Eunuch Tan, and he remembered that when the late emperor read the memorials, he always had to read the memorials of Wan Ge Laojin himself. There must be something strange in it!
"Eunuch Tan, what do you think?"
Unknowingly, Eunuch Gao used the lines from the comic strip that his nephew sent him. The prince didn't read Xianshu, and the director of Wynn just came back from Fengyang. He didn't have this awareness, but Eunuch Tan and his compatriots took it very naturally: "Mr. Xie is right..."
Tan and Gao's second-in-law looked at each other in the air before realizing that they were book friends. However, Eunuch Tan immediately realized that his lines were out of place, and quickly added: "It's time to thoroughly investigate the things that Wanshou auxiliary sent to the palace."
They didn't dare to make mistakes in front of the prince, and honestly rummaged through Xianzong's relics, and finally found the first and auxiliary memorials that had been sealed for many years in a small cabinet.
The kind of upload.
The two of them held the memorial in their hands, and Wynn had a bad feeling in his heart, and even wanted to prevent the Son of Heaven from reading it in person. However, the little emperor shook his head at him, resolutely took his father's dusty privacy documents, and opened it to take a look.
Just can't bear to watch it!
The emperor only flipped through a few books, and he saw the eyes full of "Ye Yu's second daughter" and "invincible cloud and rain"... The three words "Chen An Jin" were also generously written below the memorial.
None of the three eunuchs could have imagined that the first assistant of the dignified dynasty could carry such a thing in the memorials, and they wished they could quickly burn these memorials to restore the reputation of the late emperor. The new emperor's eyes were as dark as night, and his face was cloudy and rainy. He threw the memorial on the table, and turned around and instructed Wynn: "My companion will pass the edict on my behalf, and ask Wanshou Fu Shangshu to serve as an official."
Wynn personally went to Wanshou Fu's mansion to announce the decree, took off his tooth card and threw it on the ground, finally forcing Lord Shoufu to know the determination of the emperor. He wrote a second letter begging for an official position with infinite sorrow and grief. The emperor refused to save face even for a moment.
Liu and Yin Erge stayed in the center and didn't go to see him off in person, but they also heard people talk about the attachments that Wan Ge had reviewed step by step when he left Beijing.
Yin Xueshi was particularly touched, and he touched his cold chest and murmured in a low voice: "I checked Cui Xie's family affairs a few days ago. His servants bullied him in public and was imprisoned in Qian'an; his stepmother was imprisoned for harming him. He was sent to Fujian; Lord Shoufu broke his marriage and became an official in disgrace... I'm afraid it will be my turn next..."
This man is so terrifying, is it possible that no one can cure him, so he can only watch him harm people? Yin Xueshi grabbed Liu Cifu's hand on the table, and asked angrily, "Brother Bo Ye can't get rid of this Cui Xie? Do I have to worry about waiting in the pavilion to be suppressed by him for the rest of my life?"
Liu Ji comforted him for a long time. After he left, he stroked his beard and shook his head with a smile: "Why should I deal with Cui Xie? It will hinder me. Not only is it not harmful, but it has given me a lot of convenience... If it weren't for him, I would have to endure the position of the first assistant, and I don't know how many years it would take."
Such a miraculous person, as long as he befriends him, he can benefit himself, so why must he suppress him? It would be better to give him some convenience in his career and exchange his qi for mutual benefit.
