Emperor Liu looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes were a little blurry due to his age, and the distance made him blurry.After pondering for a while, he said, "Wang Yucheng! Come forward and answer!"

"Yes!" Wang Yucheng heard the words and stepped forward.

Looking at Wang Yucheng's eyes, Emperor Liu seemed to have a little expectation in his eyes, and said softly, "Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Wang Yucheng's face was full of solemnity, he took a deep breath before answering, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Lu Duoxun, the servant!"

Wang Yucheng's voice was loud and clear, his tone was positive, and his expression was serious. As soon as he said this, everyone in the court was shocked. The eyes of the officials in the palace quickly circled among Wang Yucheng, Emperor Liu, and Lu Duoxun, very neatly, After a brief silence, an uproar was inevitable.

Seeing this, Yan Tuo sang "Quiet" loudly as a reminder. After a brief turmoil, the Chongyuan Hall returned to silence again.However, the atmosphere was completely different from before. The depression was still depressed, but the active thoughts of the courtiers could not be restrained.

The expressions of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were very exciting, some were shocked, some were surprised, some were calm, and some were obviously a little excited.

There are also some people who cast their eyes on the expressionless Zhao Pu, subconsciously thinking that this is Zhao Pu's instruction, and the dispute between Zhao and Lu has reached a climax again.

But a perceptive person thinks a little bit, and realizes that it is unlikely, Wang Yucheng is just a copper pea, even Zhao Pu, it is difficult to subdue it.What's more, attacking at the court meeting, this kind of showy and shameless approach is not like Zhao Pu's behavior style.

No matter how rich the minds of the officials in the palace were, Emperor Liu's complexion was as usual, and his eyes were also cast on Zhao and Lu.Zhao Pu was very calm, his face was calm, and he seemed unaffected at all.Although there was an obvious change on Lu Duoxun's face, he still held back and did not lose his composure, which is something that the city government still has.

Looking back, Emperor Liu smiled and looked at Wang Yucheng who was holding a copy of impeachment in both hands, and joked with a smile: "Well, you Wang Yucheng, you are really brave. How dare you attack the minister of the court on such an occasion?" !"

"Speaking for the country, do you avoid the powerful?" Wang Yucheng replied righteously.In this case, if another person said it, Emperor Liu would definitely think it was a pretentious act, but Wang Yucheng, there is no need to question it, this is his usual persistence.

"Lu Qing!" Emperor Liu still had a smile on his face, and asked Lu Duoxun with some bitterness: "Someone wants to impeach you, what's your opinion?"

Regarding this, Lu Duoxun, who was thinking secretly, was startled, raised his eyes only to meet Emperor Liu's eyes, and then quickly buried them, cold sweat dripped unconsciously, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, those who are clear will be cleared by themselves." , those who are turbid are themselves turbid, and the minister is loyal and open-minded, so don't be afraid of the villain's rumors and slander!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu smiled, leaned forward slightly, stared at His Highness Wang Yucheng, and said indifferently: "Speak, I listen, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also listen!"

"Yes!" Wang Yucheng was not stage-frightened, and he didn't even need to read the drafted impeachment chapter. Listen; the fourth is to deceive the emperor; the fifth is to conspire to seize power; the fifth is to conspire to be disloyal to the country; the sixth is to pretend to be in balance; the seventh is to pervert the law for personal gain;

"Enough! Enough!" Emperor Liu and his ministers listened with gusto, but Lu Duoxun couldn't bear it any longer. Emperor Liu excitedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not be partial to such a villain's criticism and slander! The crimes listed are all fabricated and have no real evidence. Please judge clearly!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and scolded Wang Yucheng angrily: "Wang Yucheng, what is your intention to go to such great lengths to spread rumors and attack the truth?"

Facing Lu Duoxun's intimidation, Wang Yucheng was not false at all, and said solemnly: "The minister only speaks outrightly, and wants to eliminate a great harm for the court. What he says is selfless, and he is dedicated to the public. If Lu Xiang is open-minded, why should he be so nervous?" !"

Lu Duoxun was a little furious: "The truth is that you, a villain, cannot be tolerated. Under this blatant way of heaven, in the glorious hall, slander, sow discord, and corrupt Gangji!"

Seeing these two people confronting each other, Emperor Liu didn't seem to have much patience, he didn't let them go, and said indifferently: "What could be more damaging to court honors and discipline than courtiers arguing and cursing like shrews in the market?"

"Your Majesty!" Emperor Liu's attitude startled Lu Duoxun a little.

Glancing at the two of them, Emperor Liu said slowly: "I didn't hear wrong just now. Wang Yucheng drew up fifteen articles of indictment, and this is the eighth article. Why don't you let him finish? Lu Qing, tell me, Does this count as being closed to the Holy Spirit?"

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Lu Duoxun's face couldn't be tense anymore, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop, not daring to speak rashly again.

And Emperor Liu's words once again shocked the courtiers, His Majesty's ass is so crooked today.Some people immediately realized that this was not only Zhao Pu's attack, but Wang Yucheng's behavior might even be directly ordered by Emperor Liu.

Emperor Liu gestured to Yan Tuo again, Yan Tuo understood, walked down to the hall quickly, took the impeachment chapter from Wang Yucheng, held it in both hands, respectfully, presented it to Emperor Liu firmly, and did it peacefully A tool man.

Emperor Liu opened the impeachment paper, glanced at it for a while, then looked at Wang Yucheng, and his tone became severe: "Wang Qing, the chancellor of the court, you can't criticize me with a single word! The article you drew up, It’s not convincing enough! Where’s the evidence? If it’s just your lies, I’ll punish you for slandering a minister!”

"Your Majesty!" Wang Yucheng reported immediately: "Your Majesty, Lu Duoxun's crimes have been detailed in the chapter of impeachment! Please, Rong Chen, say a few words for your enlightenment!

In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the fifth year of Kaibao, Lu Duo was inferior to the Hexi government office. When he was gathering with his subordinate officials, when the wine was full, he once said, "You people rely on me to achieve your current status. From now on, you should try your best to be loyal and support each other. Sooner or later, I will go to court to pay homage to the prime minister, and I will need your support in the future, and I will take better care of you;

In the seventh year of Kaibao, the imperial court went to the north, and the Hexi army marched to the west. Lu Duoxun was in charge of raising food and supplies. He once said wildly that Wang Yansheng and Guo Jin led the army. He dared to be negligent; he also told the Hexi general that the important frontier defense area in the northwest of Hexi is just a place to make achievements, and it still needs the cooperation and support of civil and military forces;
Ten years after the opening of the treasure, Lu Duoxun was transferred to the two Zhejiang Provinces, full of resentment, before leaving office, he summoned his confidantes and confessed that although he left office, Hexi was still their basis, and he confessed to them to keep Hexi well;
Kaibao 11 years, Dashui in the Central Plains, Lu Duoxun secretly envoys cronies, wrote a letter to attack Zhao Xiang, saying that this is a god-sent opportunity, intending to overthrow Zhao Xiang and replace him;
12 years of treasure opening, the ceremony of enshrining Zen, Lu Duoxun made people fake auspiciousness, and played it to the court, flattering the Holy One, in order to get lucky;

In the 16th year of Kaibao, Sun Cheng, the supervisory censor of Huaidong Road, disobeyed Lu Duoxun, causing people to impeach and criticize him, dismiss him and cut him from his post;

Kaibao 17 years, sixteen censor positions were transferred, and Lu Duoxun privately awarded half of them;
Kaibao."

As Wang Yucheng confided the facts one by one, the shocked expressions on everyone's face, whether it was real or fake, obviously refreshed their understanding of Lu Duoxun, and the voice of discussion Again, several people even showed expressions of righteous indignation, eager to try, wanting to play along with Wang Yucheng.Of course, there were still some people who showed panic, especially the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Okay!" Emperor Liu waved his hand.

Wang Yucheng, on the other hand, did not seem to be happy about it, and solemnly concluded: "Your Majesty, what I have said is all traceable and well-documented. Please also learn from Your Majesty!"

Nodding slightly, Emperor Liu looked at Lu Duoxun: "Qing Lu, what do you have to say about this?"

"Your Majesty!" Lu Duoxun had already been flustered by the blow to the head. Even though he was dripping with cold sweat, he replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty is wronged! These are all untrue words. Minister, I hope that Your Majesty will learn from you, and return my innocence!"

Regarding his reaction, Emperor Liu smiled and looked at Zhao Pu: "Zhao Qing, you are the prime minister. Such a scandal in the court is really shocking. How do you think the impeachment of Wang Yucheng should be dealt with?"

If it is not necessary, at this time, Zhao Pu is really unwilling to speak out, even if it is bad luck for his arch-enemy Lu Duoxun.But facing Emperor Liu's eyes, he still had no choice but to stand up bravely, and after deliberation, he said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the impeached is a dignified minister, and the matter is of great importance. Check it out, and after the matter is cleared up, we will be in charge of the district!"

"Zhao Qing, you are still so old-fashioned in seeking the country!" Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu said something indifferent.

Temporarily letting Zhao Pu go, Emperor Liu stopped asking for other people's opinions, pondered for a while, and ordered lightly: "Put Lu Duoxun in prison first, and the three judicial departments will jointly investigate and handle this case, verify the evidence, and strictly investigate and deal with it! "

As soon as Emperor Liu said this, Lu Duoxun suddenly raised his head, as if he had been hit hard, his face turned pale.Here, the guards in front of the palace were ordered to enter the palace and arrest Lu Duoxun. Lu Duoxun didn't struggle at all, but let the guards drag him out of the palace in a daze.

No longer caring about the turmoil in the Chongyuan Palace, Emperor Liu said lightly, "Back to the court", got up and left.
