This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 48
Above the court, Li Qing spoke sharply.

Count the three crimes of Cao Kan, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment.

Among the court officials, those belonging to the Cao family's forces all had gloomy faces.

I can't wait to stand up and refute Li Qing immediately.

But they can't.

A poor family without any foundation in the court, did not have the guts to kill the son of the Cao family, let alone join the Ministry of Punishment and send him to death.

The Cao family and the other aristocratic factions in the court all believed that the matter was concocted by Emperor Tianfu.

Li Qing was just a chess piece used by Emperor Tianfu to target the Cao family.

All of this is the conspiracy of Emperor Tianfu.

Whoever stands up to support Cao Kan at this moment will just make Emperor Tianfu's plan succeed.

The fate of the Cao family will definitely be very miserable.

Now it is the best choice to sacrifice a Cao Kan and give up the Cao family's many years of operation in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Otherwise, the Wei family would be a lesson from the past.

Emperor Tianfu single-handedly arranged thousands of people to fake bandits to ambush Princess Changning and the champion of Xinke, and finally put the charges on Wei Shuyang, Shangshu of the Ministry of household affairs through Dongchang. This happened in less than half a month.

All the factions of the aristocratic families are still vivid and shocking.

"Cao Kan!" Emperor Tianfu scolded Cao Kan angrily, "I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility and handed over the Ministry of Punishment to you. Not only did you bend the law for personal gain, you even colluded with local officials and formed a party for personal gain! Could it be that you want to rebel!"

Cao Kan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, had a bitter face.

This is really the consistent style of Emperor Tianfu, who usually turns a blind eye to the behavior of the aristocratic family.

When he really wanted to attack you, he acted vigorously and did not give him a chance.

It's just that Cao Kan thought that at most he lost the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, but he never expected that Emperor Tianfu would let Li Qing participate in his collusion with local officials and form a party for personal gain.

Withholding the big hat of treason, not only will he lose his official position, but he will also lose his life.

Even many officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will be purged, and the Cao family's years of operation in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Cao Kan went out, knelt down on the ground, bowed his head and said: "I have owed Your Majesty's grace and selfishness. I used my power to coerce officials related to this case from the Ministry of Punishment and the governor of Linping Prefecture. The verdict turned black and white to cover up my nephew.

The minister knows that he deserves to die for his crime, but he has no intention of forming a party for private rebellion.Your Majesty, please be aware. "

The collusion with local officials has already been confirmed, and the evidence of Li Qing's participation is conclusive.

Sophistry has no meaning, but will lose dignity and lead to even greater disasters.

But the charge of treason must not be admitted.

In the court hall, there was still silence.

The officials of the Cao family faction did not dare to support, fearing that they would be involved more and suffer even greater losses.

Officials from non-Cao family factions began to add insult to injury.

The Minister of Dali Temple, who is one of the nine ministers of the Sangong Jiuqing, who has the most serious struggle for power and profit with the Ministry of Punishment, came out and said:

"Cao Kan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, does not think about serving the country, and uses power for personal gain. If this trend rises, the court will be shaken, and the country will fail. Please punish Cao Kan severely, so as to strengthen the government!"

Following Dali Temple Minister's opening, court officials came out one after another to denounce Cao Kan's crimes angrily.

Someone even threw a millstone into the well and asked Emperor Tianfu to strictly investigate Cao Kan's two elder brothers, Cao Zhang, the shepherd of Yanzhou, and Cao Qi, the governor of Jingnan Road.

In the court hall, the voices of justice and righteousness rose one after another.

The officials of the Cao family's faction, their eyes were tearing apart, and their faces were full of anger and humiliation.

"Wei Que!"

In the end, Emperor Tianfu gave a loud shout, and Chengtian Temple fell silent.

Wei Que, who was standing beside him, fell to his knees.

"The servant is here."

"I want you to thoroughly investigate Cao Kan, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice! I will find out all the Beijing officials and local officials who have formed a party with Cao Kan for private interests!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Emperor Tianfu got up from the dragon chair, looked at Cao Kan angrily, then flung his dragon robe and left Chengtian Hall.

The eunuch in the palace hurriedly shouted "Retire", and left with Emperor Tianfu.

Leaving Chengtian Hall, the anger in the eyes of Emperor Tianfu disappeared in an instant on the Dragon Chariot heading to Qianyuan Hall.

With a smile on his face, he said with a chuckle: "Li Qing, you have really done me a great favor! I have no shortage of capable ministers and generals, but what I lack is a stunned young man like you."

The Cao family was too powerful, and there were one of the three princes in the court, Cao Mu, the Taibao, Cao Kan, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and a series of other court officials.

Locally, they basically controlled Jingnan Road and Yanzhou.

Now Li Qing took the lead and gave Emperor Tianfu an opportunity to greatly weaken the power of the Cao family. How could he not grasp it?

Emperor Tianfu also did enough, and did not make a fuss about Cao Kan forming a party for personal gain and plotting rebellion.

It just uprooted the power of the Cao family in the Ministry of Punishment, and also wiped out Yezhou and Linping Mansion by the way.

Otherwise, Cao Kan will be charged with treason, and the Cao family will face fierce backlash.

"Let Li Qing come to Qianyuan Hall and have breakfast with me."

On the dragon chariot, Emperor Tianfu said.

……

Today's court meeting, although the time is short, the things involved are big.

Even if Emperor Tianfu left the court angrily, the officials did not have any objections.Today, I came here to add insult to injury, and I will repeat my own affairs in the future.

The officials of the Cao family faction went to the Taibao Cao Mu's residence with their heads drooped and their faces very ugly.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment were also controlled by Wei Que, and they were detained and sent to Dongchang for interrogation.

The rest of the officials were full of glory.

Cao Kan had an accident, and the Criminal Department was vacant.They will have the opportunity to join the Ministry of punishment.

Li Qing walked behind the group of officials, surrounded by some family officials who expressed goodwill to him.

Wei Que came over at a brisk pace, and said to the officials of the family: "My lords, please forgive me, our family has a business to ask, Lord Yushi."

The officials of the family of goodwill were released to Li Qing. They all knew that Wei Que was proud of himself and did not want to offend him, so they bid farewell to Li Qing.

"What is your father-in-law looking for?" Li Qing said.

"Master Yushi, please take a step to speak."

Wei Que's attitude towards Li Qing is obviously completely different from his attitude towards other court officials.

In the face of other court officials, even the prime minister, he would not flatter him.

But in front of Li Qing, he gave him enough respect.

As the governor of the East Factory, he didn't need to be so polite to a mere sixth-rank servant Yushi, nor did he need to address him as "Master Yushi".

Coming to a corner where no one was around, Wei Que said:

"Your Majesty Yushi has read many poems and books, and our family admires him very much. There are three things in our family that we would like to ask Mr. Yushi for help."

When Dongchang was first established, Wei Que listened to Li Qing's words and recruited monks outside the court as Dongchang Eagle Claws, and the effect was extremely remarkable.

Wei Que, who was already grateful to Li Qing, has respected him even more since then.

Li Qing said: "They are all doing things for Da Zhou, as my father-in-law said bluntly."

Wei Que's face was rare and a little embarrassed, he faltered for a while before saying:
"Master Yushi, the first thing I want to do is to ask you to pick a word for me."

It's not bad for a eunuch to be famous, but Wei Que actually wanted to have his own calligraphy like a scholar.

No great Confucianist or gentleman would choose a character for an eunuch.

If this gets out, it will be ridiculed.

Wei Que seems obsessed with this.

He didn't have a chance before, he didn't deserve to have his own words.

But now he is the governor of the East Factory, he is the sharp sword in the hands of the emperor, he has the power to supervise all officials, and his power can be described as monstrous.

So I can't wait to have a word of my own.

He wanted to use this to prove that he was no different from those court officials, and that what he did was also related to the whole world.

Seeing Wei Que looking at him anxiously like a student who made a mistake, Li Qing didn't mean to laugh at him at all.

He pondered for a moment, two words crossed his mind.

"Let's call him Zhongxian.

Loyalty, respect also.Only those who are dedicated and disrespectful.

A sage has both ability and political integrity.

I hope you can show your talents, do not seek personal gain, and do your best to be loyal to the country. "

After Li Qing finished speaking, Wei Que froze in place.

He kept whispering in his mouth: "Loyalty, loyalty. Do not seek personal gain, and be loyal to the country."

His turbid eyes became clearer and clearer, and the expression on his face became more and more excited, to the point where his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Wei Que lowered his bow and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Mr. Yushi, for giving me the word! From today on, I will be called Wei Zhongxian!

The words of the censor are engraved with loyalty and sages.Do not seek personal gain, do your best, and be loyal to the country! "
