Chapter 198: Your Majesty, please kill this beast

Chapter 198: Your Majesty, please kill this beast
Yan Peiwei sternly rebuked: "This guy is in charge of the Jinyiwei at a young age, all thanks to the blessing of Your Majesty, but this guy only knows how to flatter and deceive His Majesty! He secretly takes advantage of his position to seek credit and gain what he wants, and he benefits himself by taking advantage of others!"

Listening to Yan Peiwei's impeachment, Jia Wei remained calm.

Being impeached constantly is a necessary step for every powerful official.

Of course, if you dare to impeach a powerful official, you must be prepared to suffer retaliation.

Without waiting for Jia Wei to get angry, Emperor Xuanwu's face instantly darkened when he heard Yan Peiwei's words, and he looked at Yan Peiwei with an unfriendly look.

Emperor Xuanwu is still thinking about it. If Yan Peiwei is speaking out for the sake of reputation, then this kind of person is nothing to be afraid of.

But if Yan Peiwei, the censor, was just a vanguard and there were people instigating him behind the scenes, then this would be a serious problem.

This person took advantage of today's court celebration to offer advice and impeach his trusted ministers. This is simply outrageous!

Yan Peiwei was completely unaware and was filled with excitement. He only thought that if the impeachment was successful, or if the emperor was furious and severely punished him, he would be able to go down in history and be remembered forever!

"When this guy followed the imperial envoy to the south to rectify the Lianghuai salt business, he openly demanded bribes from salt merchants, causing public resentment!
"Recently, they took advantage of the Ningjing County Prince's rebellion case to build a large prison! They tortured and forced confessions, framed him, and murdered the loyal officials of the court! They confiscated his property, enriched themselves, and even forcibly took his female relatives.

"This beast has committed many crimes. He was born into a noble family, but he has no regard for the emperor's grace. He is truly a traitor to the country! Your Majesty, please make a wise decision and execute this traitor to the country to appease the public anger!"

Jia Wei raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Yan Peiwei wanted him to die in public. If Jia Wei's revenge was not fierce, anyone would dare to scold him in the future.

Emperor Xuanwu also frowned. He was not mentally ill, so how could he cut off his own arm?

Moreover, Jia Wei was his loyal minister and capable general.

The silver that was confiscated went into the emperor's treasury.

Emperor Xuanwu did not take Yan Peiwei's words seriously. The Embroidered Uniform Guard had confiscated so much silver, so it was normal for Jia Wei to embezzle a few thousand or tens of thousands of taels.

As the saying goes, when the water is too clear, there will be no fish.

Taking possession of the wives of criminals is a matter that cannot be any smaller.

That day he and Jia Wei first met, but it was at the Jiaofangsi...

Emperor Xuanwu cleared his throat and was about to speak up to explain the matter, but Yan Peiwei continued:
"Your Majesty, the East and West Factories, the Imperial Guards, the Pacification Offices, and the police are all capable of taking advantage of their power and killing people without following the law.

"The fate of the whole government and the people is at the mercy of military men and eunuchs. How deplorable! I respectfully request Your Majesty to investigate and issue an order to abolish the imperial prison and return the criminal law to the three ministries!"

Emperor Xuanwu was so angry that his eyelids twitched. Now the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories were his greatest reliance. If their judicial power was castrated, his throne might not be stable!

Now Emperor Xuanwu saw clearly that there must be someone behind Yan Peiwei! Both Jia Wei and the factory guards were his arms.

Who is the person behind this? Emperor Xuanwu didn't even have to think about it.

Prince Zhongshun!

Now that Wei Yan and Prince Ningjing have fallen one after another, Prince Zhongshun can no longer hold back?

But regardless of the emperor's intention, Yan Peiwei's proposal to abolish the judicial power of the Censorate and the Imperial Guards touched the hearts of many ministers.

Nowadays, the imperial prison can arrest, interrogate, execute and sentence people on its own without going through the general judicial system. Countless ministers have died from torture.

All the officials in the court, whether they were civil officials or military generals, regardless of which party they belonged to, were afraid that one day they would be arrested and thrown into the imperial prison, where they would live a life worse than death.

Therefore, when Yan Peiwei said this, several people immediately echoed him. "Your Majesty, what Censor Yan said is very enlightening. I hope Your Majesty will be wise."

"Your Majesty, please abolish the imperial prison and return justice to the three courts!"

"I second the proposal!"

……

For a while, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was in great commotion, and all the court officials expressed their opinions, calling for the execution of Jia Wei and the abolition of the imperial prison.

Only the group of founding military heroes behind Jia Wei remained silent, although there were of course also people who secretly gloated over his misfortune.

Emperor Xuanwu's face was terribly gloomy at this moment. Immediately, a eunuch cracked a whip and a sharp voice spread throughout the palace.

"Silence!"

Emperor Xuanwu pondered for a moment, thinking about how to protect Jia Wei and the imperial guards. Suddenly, he saw Jia Wei calmly tidying up his dragon robe and leaving the court. His eyes immediately lit up.

He remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. He truly showed the demeanor of a great general and was worthy of being the martial arts champion chosen by him!
"Jia Qing, do you have a script you want to write?"

Yan Peiwei and other civil officials glanced sideways, with sharp or disdainful looks at the tall figure, waiting to see how he would defend himself.

Jia Wei said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei guards in various provinces have reported that martial artists and local bandits are rampant.

"Warriors use force to break the law, rob, steal, fight privately, and even worse, rob the gentry and the rich, and kill officials appointed by the court.

"The Jianghu sects forge weapons privately, store grain and silver, recruit young and strong men as disciples, teach them martial arts, ignore the imperial pass, and roam around everywhere. We must be on guard.

"There are also local bandits and pirates, which bring disaster to the people and block the trade routes..."

The officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were all stunned. Shouldn't you, Jia Wei, defend yourself when you are impeached? What is this all about?
Jia Wei looked calm and continued, "Now the nine borders are in turmoil. As the saying goes, to resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the interior. There are three disasters in the Han territory, and we must prevent them. However, the local government is unable to deal with them. I request that the Jinyiwei leave the capital, ride on horses to the rivers and lakes, and stabilize the country."

Emperor Xuanwu was also somewhat surprised at the way Jia Wei opened the matter, but he and Jia Wei had already discussed the matter privately, and now he was just bringing it up openly.

So Emperor Xuanwu immediately said, "Approved! Draft an edict immediately, ordering the Jinyi Commander, First-class Yong'an Marquis Jia Wei, as the Imperial Commissioner to tour the south to rectify the martial artists and sects, and to control the local banditry. It's as if I were here in person!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" A cabinet minister said immediately, "Marquis Yong'an is a criminal, how can you appoint him as an imperial envoy? This will damage the dignity of the court. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

When Jia Wei saw this, he thought that they had run into each other on a narrow road. This person was none other than Liu Wenzhen, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. He had just become enemies with him on the way to the palace this morning. It was Liu Wenzhen who was the most excited when Yan Peiwei impeached him just now.

All the civil and military officials in the court knew that Liu Wenzhen had a close relationship with Prince Zhongshun. When Emperor Xuanwu saw him also jump out, he immediately became angry.

What a loyal and shun prince!

Jia Wei immediately smiled and said, "May I ask Lord Liu, what crime have I committed? Your Majesty hasn't even spoken yet, and you have already accused me of a crime?"

Yan Peiwei saw what Jia Wei had just said and thought that he was afraid and wanted to escape from the capital to avoid the limelight, so he immediately took advantage of the situation and chased him:

"Jia thief, you killed loyal officials, embezzled family property, and took possession of women. You have done so many things that are too numerous to mention. Do you still want to quibble? Your Majesty, please execute this traitor, abolish the imperial prison, and return justice to the three courts!"

Liu Wenzheng recalled Jia Wei's arrogance this morning and said angrily, "Your Majesty, please kill this traitor!"
