What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 134 Dismissal
Xie Chenyu smiled.

"What? Master Yuezhang still wants to protect him?"

He moved it with emotion and reasoned and told him that there was no need for it.

"The next governor of Qingzhou is still ours, don't worry, the Wang family won't lose."

"But……"

Wang Youzong raised his beard slightly and leaned forward slightly.

"No big deal, father-in-law don't worry"

Passed a cup of tea, and blocked his body back.

"This tea is a snow-topped foggy pine that was rewarded by my father. It was born in a place covered with snow all the year round. There are five trees in total, and only one and a half catties of dry tea are obtained each year. How many taels did my father reward me for this king. Would you like to try it? "

Speaking of tea, Wang Youzong couldn't even speak.

Feeling aggrieved, he drank a cup of tea and left.

-

What happened next was predictable.

The governor of Qingzhou entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and couldn't help being severely tortured. He revealed the accounts of the Wang family over the years, including changing taxes without permission and increasing taxes for the people.

Up to the use of taxes to fish and meat the common people, down to robbing the women of the people to enclose land and disturb the people.

The outrageous things the Wang family did with the help of the governor of Qingzhou were revealed one by one.

The Office of the Ministry of Punishment found 36 witnesses and 28 accounting books, which filled a large box, which the three of them could barely lift. There were 26 pages of confessions in a thick stack.

The so-called irrefutable evidence is about the same.

On the second day of April in the 25th year of Hongzhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice reported the case.

The young censors wrote vigorously, wishing they could stab Wang Youzong to death with their pens.

The old censor wished he could die in court, and ordered the regent to dismiss Wang Youzong with his life.

Wen's death admonishes Wu to fight to the death, and it's all about Guangzong Yaozu's business.

"My lord, the Wang family tree has deep roots and luxuriant branches. It has been standing all these years. Who knows how much filth is hidden behind it. I beg Your Highness to investigate thoroughly and give Qingzhou people an explanation."

"My lord, taxation is the foundation of the country, how can it be easily shaken, the crimes of the Wang family are heinous, unforgivable!"

"I beg the prince to investigate thoroughly and return the people's innocence"

In the Jinluan Hall, all the officials knelt down, leaving only Wang Youzong and the subordinate officials.

Those few people trembled with fright.

Looking at Wang Youzong and all the people kneeling behind him, they sat on the ground with limp calves, wishing they could disappear in place.

"I beg the prince to investigate thoroughly"

Their voices were like mosquitoes humming, almost inaudible in the tide of censors.

In front of the table next to the dragon chair, Xie Chenyu slowly got up and opened his arms.

"stop!"

The main hall was instantly audible.

"You guys, come forward"

He pointed his thumb at those subordinates of the official department, and the direct subordinates were of course Wang Youzong's people.

"Say what you just said again, louder, and you will die if you say it well"

It means that if you don't do it well, you may lose your life.

Several people crawled to the regent's feet, straightened their necks, and screamed like crowing roosters.

"Your Highness, please thoroughly investigate Wang Shangshu!"

"it is good!"

"Your Highness, please thoroughly investigate Wang Shangshu!"

"it is good!"

Xie Chenyu clapped his hands and laughed, and rewarded them to retreat: "It's none of your business, go back and kneel down."

Several people rolled back in a hurry.

There was no one behind Wang Youzong.

Looking back, it was an official hat that couldn't be seen.

Those with red tops, yellow tops, those inlaid with jadeite, those inlaid with Hetian jade, those inlaid with turquoise, and those inlaid with red agate.

Different colors and different styles symbolize different official positions.

The only thing they have in common is that their owners are all kneeling, with their caps up, as if they are trying to force him to death.

"Wang Youzong, are you convicted?"

Wang Youzong shook his body slightly and closed his eyes: "The old minister is guilty"

He should have thought of it earlier, he should have thought of it earlier.

-

The meeting is over.

Xie Chenyu had no time to worry about Wang Youzong's request for an audience, so he went to Jiaofang Palace first.

After the queen recovered from her illness, she suddenly let go of everything, she didn't care about the palace affairs, she didn't care about her love, except for occasionally sending something to the fourth princess, she would stay behind closed doors, as if there was no such person in the palace.

This day she was watering the flowers in the courtyard, wearing a homely cotton robe, her hair was simply tied up in a bun, and she was wearing a simple white jade hairpin. She looked dignified and plain.

Seeing Xie Chenyu coming in the morning light, she smiled kindly.

"Why are you here now?"

"Of course it's for the Queen Mother"

Xie Chenyu helped the queen go in, took a few sips of Aunt Fang Rui's tea, and said everything with a smile.

"Can the queen mother blame me?"

The queen obviously hasn't recovered yet, muttering.

"Are you sure? That's the tax of a whole state. How dare my father?"

"He passed away without any concern, so he left these to my brother?"

"What ability does my elder brother have to deal with these things? It's only normal to be caught by someone."

"So I came to ask, what should I do now?" Xie Chenyu was serious.

"Just now, my son reprimanded my father-in-law in front of all civil and military officials, temporarily suppressing my anger, and the rest of the matter should not be too good-looking, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."

The queen was in a tangle.

If the punishment is too harsh, the Wang family will be ruined.

The punishment was too loose and he couldn't convince the crowd, which stumped the queen.

Biting her lips and thinking for a long time, she gritted her teeth cruelly: "Release to the magistrate, and send it to a foreign post. The officialdom in the capital is too complicated to suit your father-in-law. He is a solid-eyed person who is easy to follow other people's ways."

"After the turmoil subsides in a few years, I will find a way to transfer him back."

"Yu'er, you...wouldn't be like the one in the East Palace, would you?"

The Wang family is powerful, lost one governor of Qingzhou, and there are ten or eight different governors who want to flatter them. The so-called thin camel is bigger than a horse, that's it.

As long as Wang Youzong and Wang Qishan are kept, a comeback is just around the corner.

But the queen forgot that what she saw was Xie Chenyu, not Xie Chenke.

"Of course not, don't worry, mother."

"Your kindness to my upbringing will never be forgotten"

The queen was dubious.

But he acted so well that even the slight redness around his eyes was just right without leaving any marks.

She read countless people, but she didn't see clearly whether it was really an act.

"The queen mother believes in you"

The queen was in poor spirits, and it hurt her to talk for a long time.

Fang Rui hurriedly brought the medicine bowl, and the queen drank it all in one gulp and then squinted for a while before slowly opening her eyes.

"The medicine formulated by Lin's works well, but I feel drowsy after taking it."

"The imperial doctor looked at the prescription and said it is a good prescription. There is nothing wrong with it. It is a great tonic and does not interfere with each other, but there are still some things that you don't understand. Go back and ask Mrs. Lin."

"By the way, what's the matter with Mrs. Lin? I heard that she was promoted to Concubine Liang, how is her body?"

Thinking that someone took half of her life, the queen was still quite embarrassed.

Xie Chenyu: "..."

He was actually a little embarrassed to say that she had gained a few pounds.

"She is very good. She eats, drinks and drinks every day. Mr. Xiang has a lenient heart. She doesn't even need to ask for peace. She only needs to eat, drink and have fun."

The queen smiled, both sides were speechless.

The next day, news came out from the court that Wang Youzong was demoted to be the magistrate of Tongzhou, down six ranks in a row, and became a minor official of the fifth rank.

The disciples of the Wang family all over saw the true colors and left gradually.

Wang Youzong was even worse, he was so angry that he almost hanged himself, but the queen sent someone to comfort him, saying that as long as the green hills are there, there will be no firewood.

Wang Youzong just gave up and took office obediently.
