"During Mr. Gao's reign, he accepted bribes many times and enriched his own pockets. I want to impeach Mr. Gao for five major crimes!" Du Zhongyang said confidently, and then took out a memorial and read it out: "First, abuse of power, selling Officials buy officials; second, accept bribes and fill their own pockets; third, withhold disaster funds and harm the victims; fourth, plant party members for personal gain; fifth, cheat others and deceive the emperor!" Each of these is like a A sharp knife was stabbed fiercely in Gao Ming's heart, each knife was harder than the other, and each knife was deeper than the other!

"Lord Du, you spout blood!" Gao Ming looked very angry, extremely wronged!But his heart jumped up in panic. After the last rumor, he sorted out all the things he had done that might leave clues, filling in many loopholes. 【】Now, how dare Du Zhongyang blatantly impeach him? Could it be that Du Zhongyang has some evidence?

Du Zhongyang looked at Gao Ming with the eyes of a dying person, and said with a smile: "Master Gao, is it bloody? The sage has his own conclusions, and the laws of heaven have their own conclusions. Here is the evidence that Mr. Gao broke the law. Really, Mr. Gao must still remember the time and place of the characters above."

Du Zhongyang gave Gao Ming a booklet and watched Gao Ming's reaction.

Gao Ming opened the booklet, his hands trembled every time he turned a page, and his face became more and more ugly. When he saw only half of it, he was already sweating profusely, and his clothes were half wet.

"How about it, Mr. Gao, is everything shocking, are you thinking, how could I get so much evidence?"

"Holy Majesty, I am wronged, please be the master of my minister!" Gao Ming did not dare to finish reading it, so he knelt down and cried for injustice. At this time, he could only cry for injustice. With this well-investigated booklet, all words seem pale powerless.

"Present the things!" In Long Dingtian's voice, the brochure was in his hands. He had read this brochure a long time ago, but he still pretended to be very shocked at this moment.

After reading it, Long Dingtian angrily threw it to the old ceremonial officer and said, "Read!"

"In 8984 of the Daping calendar, ten fifth-rank officials in Fuhe Province collectively bought officials and used 3 taels of gold to promote them to fourth-rank officials; Corruption, should have been exiled for thousands of miles, but was transferred to another state after paying 8986 taels of gold; Gao Ming found out that they were asking for 8000 taels, and the two were greedy for funds..."

As the voice of the old official of ceremonies sounded, the officials were shocked.Some ministers, who were related to the things mentioned in it, had cold sweat on their backs, and even trembled with fright.

Long Dingtian carefully observed the reactions of the officials, and suddenly said loudly: "Master Feng, why are your feet shaking? Could it be that this matter has something to do with you?"

Mr. Feng is the deputy governor of Bolt Province, named Feng Ling, and the representative of Bolt Province in Shangjing. He was dumbfounded when he heard that 40 taels of disaster relief silver was withheld, because he was also involved in it at the time. .

Every province in the Daping Kingdom has a deputy governor who is permanently stationed in Shangjing and communicates with the imperial court and local government orders at any time.

Hearing the Holy Majesty's question, Feng Ling panicked: "Holy Majesty, please forgive me, no, absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing!" His words were somewhat incoherent.

"You're lying!" Du Zhongyang was furious on the spot: "Since there is no such thing, why are you so frightened and yelling for mercy? You obviously participated in it, and you even got 2 taels of silver, which were hidden in the dry well in your backyard." among!"

"No, no, I don't have any money. If you don't believe me, go look for it in the dry well in the backyard of my house. I really don't." Feng Ling kept shaking his feet and defending.

"You didn't pay any money, so what did you get?" Du Zhongyang asked sternly.

"I just got a promotion, I really didn't get paid!"

"Oh..." All the officials were in an uproar.

And Gao Ming's expression became ashes, Feng Ling was so frightened that his mind was confused, and under the guidance of Du Zhongyang, he slipped his mouth.

"Someone is here, take Feng Ling to the prison!" His Majesty shouted, and immediately two imperial guards came in and dragged Feng Ling out.

"Gao Aiqing, I can't imagine that the late emperor treated you like a brother and entrusted him with important responsibilities, but you colluded with both inside and outside, embezzling state property and embezzling disaster victims' funds!" The most beloved woman betrayed himself.

"Your Majesty..." Gao Ming was about to say something, but another minister rushed to talk: "My Majesty, Mr. Gao once promised that if I support one of his relatives to serve in the palace, I will get 3000 taels of gold. Your Majesty’s words just now were like a blow to the head, waking me up. My Majesty entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I should do my best to be loyal to my Majesty! I am willing to hand over the 3000 taels of gold to the treasury, and please forgive me for being confused for a while.”

"My lord, a farmer surnamed Liu outside Shangjing was murdered secretly by Gao Sheng for offending Gao Ming's son. Now his son lost his parents and was placed in another farmhouse by the courtier, and he was subsidized for three months. [-]. In the past, under the prestige of Mr. Gao, I dare not speak out, but now I find out that Mr. Gao has withheld the disaster relief funds without permission, and I am really angry! Mr. Gao will not let go of the victims who have no food or clothing! Even if you offend Gao My lord, we must also make this matter public, and give justice to the Liu farmer's family!"

"Report to Your Majesty, I originally had four shops on Longxiang Street in the west of the city. Later, Mr. Gao secretly threatened to take the four shops as his own by threatening his official career. Now I want to sue Mr. Gao."

"Revelation to the Holy Majesty..."

"Apologize to Your Majesty..."

……

Like a powder keg being detonated one by one, seeing Gao Ming's predicament, ministers one by one exploded all kinds of big and small things.In particular, the ministers that Long Dingtian visited specially received the attention of His Majesty and personally visited them. Naturally, they wanted to give Long Dingtian the top. Everything at the first level was blown out.

Gao Ming heard voices one after another, his face was ugly, and his heart was ashamed.He never imagined that such a good morning would turn out to be like this!Originally, just after the rumors a few days ago, when he thought everything would be over, it happened to him like this. He seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, and he would never see the light again.

Looking at these ministers who kept suing him about big and small things, and even fabricated things; there were also ministers who should have spoken for him, and he thought they were close friends, but at this time their eyes were slightly closed, and they looked indifferent Instead, his heart suddenly calmed down.When all thoughts were lost, it inspired his wisdom instead, and he finally realized that it was not these ministers who were embarrassing him, but the emperor, the sage, who was embarrassing him through the mouths of these ministers.

Gao Ming knelt in the center of the hall blankly, as if he was the only one in the entire hall, and the cold wind was blowing all around him, making his body and mind extremely cold!The countless glory and power of the past have all been turned into dust in the wind and taken away.

"It's over, everything is over..."
