Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 33
Facing the reprimand of the officials, Wei Zheng did not stay silent like last time, but stared straight at these people with a cold face.

"Yan Song and He Shen haven't spoken yet, but you are impatient! Could it be that you were the ones who gave them bribes?"

As soon as these words came out, the complexions of all the officials present changed one after another, and they all lost their voices for a moment.

Isn't that what happened?Otherwise, what are they in a hurry for?
Seeing this, Wei Zheng sneered even more: "How did you get the bribe money? Did you also accept bribes from the people below?"

"Nonsense! Nonsense!!"

The envoy Luo Longwen had a gray beard and was short in stature. His upright face was flushed at the moment, he stood up tremblingly and pointed at Wei Zheng, cursing angrily: "Unfounded accusations! Unwarranted charges!"

"Even an upright official like Yan Xiang is criticized by you! Wei Zheng is a traitor, are you going to destroy the Dagan court?"

"Not bad!"

On the other side, Su Ling'a, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up directly, and echoed righteously: "It's the same with adults!"

"Master Wei, just based on your unfounded speculation, you want to criticize him like this? Do you want to make the clean and innocent court into a mess?"

Afterwards, Yan Maoqing, Minister of Dali Temple, Zhao Wenhua, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, Wu Shenglan, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, also got up angrily and loudly refuted Wei Zheng's words.

Li Gan on the dragon chair was stunned. Why is this situation so similar to three days ago?

The only difference is that today's Wei Zheng's combat power is overwhelming, and he is talking back and forth with many courtiers, fighting with the Confucianists.

"If Yan Song and He Shen are both clean and honest officials, there will be no corrupt officials in the world! You still ask me for evidence? Go to Beijing and ask any one or three-year-old child, and you will know that these two are the most corrupt officials in the world! Could it be, Er It's not as good as waiting for a three-year-old..."

"Cough cough~"

Looking at the chaotic vegetable market-like hall below, Li Gan coughed lightly twice, and Wei Zhongxian at the side immediately understood, and shouted loudly: "Quiet!!"

We can't let them keep arguing, otherwise, what happened three days ago will probably repeat itself.

Fortunately, the ministers were still very obedient when they felt guilty. They all stopped and looked at His Majesty the Emperor quietly on the dragon chair.

Li Qian thought for a while, looked at Yan Song and He Shen in front of him and asked, "Mr. Yan, He Qing's family, and Wei Qing's family impeached you two for corruption and bribery. Do you have anything to say?"

As soon as the words came out, He Shen stood up straight away, with a mournful face, and shouted for injustice:

"Your Majesty clearly learned that I have been wronged! I work diligently to manage the government every day, and I will never dare to be greedy!"

The corner of Li Gan's mouth twitched, are you serious?

Was the phrase "Heshen fell, Jiaqing was full" in the previous life just to trick people?

On the other side, Yan Song also stood up, with a heavy face, cupped his hands and said to Li Gan: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

"Since I took over the position of prime minister and took charge of the household department, I have deeply felt that the great responsibility of the country has been placed on me. I can't eat, sleep, and sleep. Don't dare to relax."

"Your Majesty, I have no shame in asking myself, and I have absolutely no intention of accepting bribes. Your Majesty, please be careful."

Looking at Yan Song's dignified appearance, Li Qian doubted his own cognition more and more.

I heard that after Yan Song's home was ransacked in the previous life, the Jiajing Dynasty also published a "Tianshui Bingshanlu" to record the stolen property, with a total of more than [-] characters. Could it be that this is also fake? ?
Li Gan stroked his chin and looked at the two of them. It's a pity that you two don't become actors.

However, it is one thing to know that they are greedy, but now they cannot be punished.

Just look at the reactions of the civil servants below.

This is not just a matter of bribery, even if these civil servants are not involved in this incident, what can be done later?
After punishing the corrupt people above, is it time to start liquidating the people below?Will the next one be liquidated on their heads? ?
Therefore, the civil servants will definitely not sit back and watch these two people be punished.

Li Gan could also be punished by force. I believe that the military officials in the court might also be happy to see the result, and happily help the emperor complete this matter.

But as long as you think about it later, you will know that if there are no civil servants to restrain the generals, what will happen to the court?

How long can Li Qian be emperor?How many days are there to live?

"Um……"

Li Gan's gaze turned to Wei Zheng: "Wei Qing's family, do you have evidence to impeach Prime Minister Yan and He Qing's family for corruption and bribery?"

As soon as these words came out, many ministers in the court became nervous, but the corners of the mouths of the civil servants near the front slightly evoked a faint smile.

If Wei Zheng had evidence, why wait until now?

Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of Li Gan and many courtiers, Wei Zheng shook his head in a bachelor way: "Return to Your Majesty, I have no evidence."

Li Gan looked at him speechlessly, as expected of Wei Zheng, he spoke confidently without evidence.

But Wei Zheng didn't give up, he still cupped his hands and said: "But as I said, the corruption of these two people is known to the whole world, and the million taels of silver that the imperial court loses every year falls into the hands of these few people!"

"Heshen is in charge of the Ministry of Officials. During the Beijing inspection period, there will be crowds of horses and horses in front of the gate, all of whom are speculators and gift givers! Even ordinary people know that Hefu is a place to sell officials and nobles!"

"Yan Song is in charge of the household department and manages the money and food in Taicang. He is unscrupulous, filling his own pockets, taking advantage of the position of the left minister to annex the land, and even accepting bribes through his son. It is heinous!"

"Your servant, please deal with these two people strictly, so as to set an example to others!"

Wei Zheng finally bowed to salute, with a long bow, his crimson official robe billowing, full of righteousness.

"Wei Zheng, you are talking nonsense!"

The general manager Luo Wenlong who had just spoken stood up again, pointed at him and said angrily: "Although the imperial court's policy is determined, there are always various accidents when it is implemented. Naturally, all the money spent is recorded in the book, and there are official documents as proof. Why? Come to talk about it?"

"As for the matter of bribery, there is no way to talk about it!"

"Lord Wei, everyone is doing things for the imperial court, why does whoever does more things suffer more grievances?"

Luo Longwen rebukes awe-inspiringly: "Mr. Yan has broken his heart for the big cadres, calming the river disaster, rescuing the disaster victims, and stabilizing the country...Have you ignored all these?"

"But what did you, Mr. Wei, do? You keep holding on to these official documents! Is this the fault of Prime Minister Yan??"

"Not bad!"

Su Ling'a once again said righteously: "It's the same with adults!"

"Besides, the censors throughout the ages are at most just rumors, but Mr. Wei, you are going to slander such an upright official as Mr. He..."

Other civil servants also spoke out their righteousness one after another. For a while, Wei Zheng became a mouse in the court again, and everyone shouted and beat him.

But he didn't care, but looked at these people present with cold eyes:

"You keep saying that He Shen and Yan Song didn't accept bribes, but where did they come from the mansion in Guangsha? Where did the servants like clouds come from? Where did the extravagant food and clothing come from?? "

Wei Zheng's voice was like thunder, and his momentum was like a torrent. The civil servants opposite him subconsciously took half a step back.

But Yan Song, who was at the forefront, lowered his head and closed his eyes, while He Shen turned his head and glanced at his henchmen quietly.

After a brief absence, Luo Longwen came back to his senses, took a step forward angrily, and asked, "Wei Zheng, you keep saying that Prime Minister Yan spends extravagantly on food and clothing, but have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"
