Rebirth of the famous family

Chapter 610
Wanyan Zongze knelt down, with a painful and angry expression on his face, and raised his voice in a solemn and distressed voice: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wei, the prime minister of the censor, was promoted by the emperor, and he is the head of the censor. He is very conscientious, running errands for the emperor, living up to the emperor's high hopes and great kindness, but he is in his position and only seeks his own selfishness. Doing the best of the best of conscience, taking bad rumors and disorderly politics as the goal, so treacherous and treacherous, and the virtuous government is not cultivated, although the sons and ministers have suffered greatly from it, but they disdain such people's cares, but the court has to open its way, let alone Being controlled by this kind of shameless person makes the way of speech become a weapon used by treacherous ministers to attack loyal and good people. Such an act of disordering the country may make the courtiers panic and cause the people to suffer greatly. I also ask the emperor to severely punish Mr. Wei and his accomplice Su My lord, to reassure the hearts of the people in the world."

After Yan Zongze finished speaking, several ministers immediately stepped forward to condemn and agree with him indignantly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wei has failed his holy prestige, united with the officials, and wantonly attacked the prince's dignity with his words, offended his superiors, used public affairs for personal gain, and fooled His Majesty. According to the Law of Great Yan, he shall be executed without mercy!"

"Your Majesty, as the censor Zhongcheng, Master Wei is the leader of the imperial court. He is the ear of the emperor and his mouth. It is a disgrace to the official censor, and please ask the emperor to be the master of the prince, to rectify this crooked trend, to calm the hearts of the people, and to rectify the government!"

"Your Majesty, the officials can hear about the incident. The ministers and others also heard that they were deceived by Master Wei and Master Su in Tongluo Lane. This is why they wronged King Wuying. In anger, they impeached the officials. As officials, the ministers and others are not allowed to do so. Distinguishing right from wrong, and being induced by treacherous people, I am really ashamed of your kindness, and my humble ministers are guilty."

The ministers here came out and knelt behind Wanyan Zongze to reprimand Mr. Wei, asking the emperor to punish him severely.There were also quite a few officials who followed Mr. Wei to impeach Wan Yan Zongze just now, seeing that the situation has changed drastically now, and the fact that the Wuying Palace did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, Dang even knelt down to plead guilty.

Mr. Wei, the censor Zhongcheng over there, was already pale at this moment. He never expected that the matter would develop to this point in an instant. He was still worried about Su Guangyan being bitten by Yao Jinhong. Who knows that this person who has never had any friendship with the prince Marquis Ding Ding would say such words, which made him the target of attack by all the courtiers without any preparation in just a moment.

He saw that half of the officials knelt down and begged the emperor to punish him in a short while, then he knelt down trembling with a plop, and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what Marquis Ding Ding said. I never asked anyone to kidnap those two children." , and never conspired with Master Su to slander King Wu Ying, I have been wronged!"

Only then did King Yong understand that Wanyan Zongze was here for his grandfather.Dayan opened up the way of speaking and treated the officials generously. At the beginning of the dynasty, there were many upright and upright officials who pleaded for the people and were not afraid of life and death, and were praised by the world. At the same time, even the emperor dared to contradict, and many eunuchs took it as an honor to remonstrate with death and confiscated their homes, and took it as their career to contradict and criticize the emperor. Therefore, the common people and literati also respected the eloquent officials. As the head of the official, it is of course a great help to him. It can build momentum for him, and it can easily suppress hostile forces for him. Destroy his reputation, but some officials under the prince who were not strict in their actions have lost their lives and official positions over the years because of their words.

His grandfather was his biggest backer, but this time he made a slight mistake, was slightly negligent, and asked Wan Yan Zongze to use such a rough and simple method to make his grandfather unclear. This is really regrettable, he only hates He acted too hastily, and failed to find out the connection between Yao Jinhong and Prince Wuying's residence before proceeding.

Although Wanyan Zongze and the other ministers never mentioned him, they accused Grandpa of using the public for personal gain, so they dragged him into it. Naturally, no one knew who Grandpa and Mr. Su conspired for, so at this time, he was a bit embarrassed to plead for mercy for Grandpa. If it is not suitable, you will be trapped if you are not careful.And he still doesn't know if Wanyan Zongze has any other tricks waiting for him to jump down.

The king of Yongjun was sweating profusely. Seeing his grandfather kneeling down and crying for grievances, he hurriedly cast a wink at the official behind him, and the man quickly stepped out and knelt behind Lord Wei, saying: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei is under the imperial court. Shi Zhongcheng has been in the position for many years, and he has always been loyal and upright. Even the first emperor praised him as a gentleman. How could he do such a thing of fooling the emperor and manipulating the way? If those two children were really kidnapped by Mr. Wei, how could it be possible? Let the child escape easily, and be rescued by Marquis Ding Ding? This is clearly someone who framed Lord Wei."

"Your Majesty, it is really strange that a pair of children were found in Mr. Wei's farm. Please find out the matter before we discuss it. If Mr. Wei really did it, Mr. Wei's death is not a pity, but if someone framed and slandered you Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei just acted according to his duty today, so it cannot be regarded as slandering the prince. Your Majesty has learned from you. We need to investigate this matter carefully before making a judgment!"

Several ministers came forward to intercede for Lord Wei, and Lord Su also fell in love when he saw this, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this official really didn't conspire with Lord Wei to slander King Wuying, that crazy woman slandered the official with all her lies. .”

The king of Yongjun saw that he was almost there, so he knelt down in person and said, "Your Majesty, heavy codes cannot be used in prosperous times. What's more, this matter has not been investigated clearly. If this will severely punish Lord Wei and kill the official, but... ..."

"Is it a sign of subjugation? Brother Wuhuang, are you forcing the emperor to pardon Mr. Wei? This woman testified against Mr. Su in court, and Marquis Ding Ding rescued a pair of kidnapped children from Mr. Wei's farm. With the facts in front of your eyes, how can you allow Mr. Wei to evade it in a few words?! Mr. Wei is the head of the censor, and it is a disgrace to the official to use the public for personal gain. If they cannot be punished, but if they are spared and let go, then people will be panicked and the country will be in turmoil!" Wanyan Zongze interrupted King Yong's words and raised his voice.

Prince Yong was trembling with anger, thinking that Yan Zongze had made up his mind today!Unexpectedly, just as he was reading, the prince who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Royal father, Mr. Wei is a veteran minister appreciated by the previous emperor. It is also flawed, not to mention that severely punishing Mr. Wei will indeed make all the officials silent. It is not that the court is unlucky, but the facts are all there. As for the matter, Master Wei must be loyal and upright, and he would not want to continue to serve as Zhongcheng until the matter is found out. According to my son, if Master Wei is dismissed first and investigated, he can also give King Wuying a Explain, secondly, Mr. Wei has devoted himself to the court for many years. He is old, and he can take advantage of this time to recuperate. When this matter is found out, the truth will become clear. If someone really framed Mr. Wei, he will be reinstated and let King Wuying come to the door in person. Apologize to Master Wei."

The prince's words were heard by everyone as a model of generosity and benevolence, but in fact, the prince's actions did not benefit Lord Wei by half. According to today's situation, even if the situation is not good for Lord Wei, there is insufficient evidence, and the emperor turned to him again. The king of Yongjun will never really kill Lord Wei as Wanyan Zongze asked, and in the end he must temporarily dismiss Lord Wei from his official position.

But this is enough for the crown prince and Wanyan Zongze. Jinse ordered Yao Jinhong to make a fuss just to get Lord Wei to dismiss him from office. It was a big blow, and Yao Jinhong's sons and daughters were found from Mr. Wei's farm, so there is no way to find out. This is enough for the day when the official is reinstated.

Seeing the Crown Prince's stance, the emperor also understood that if Mr. Wei was not dismissed from office, he would not be able to get through this matter, so he said in a deep voice: "The censor's yamen is a poor place. Mr. Wei has always been a decent censor. He is worried about the world. Confidence and self-defense, this kind of character was praised by the late emperor, but now he is caught in the mud of manipulating words and using public affairs for personal gain. , I hope that after the truth is found out, Lord Wei and King Wuying can live up to my expectations."

After the emperor finished speaking, he got up and left. Wanyan Zongze got up and walked out of the hall with the crown prince. Seeing King Yong help Mr. Wei to stand up, he stared at him sternly, but he just smiled, cupped his hands, and said: " Brother Five Emperors accepted it."

King Yong's face turned ferocious, but Master Wei pinched his hand as he was about to say something. While he gritted his teeth, Wanyan Zongze curled his lips, flicked his wide sleeves, turned around and walked out of the golden palace with the crown prince.

Although the officials in Tongluo Lane are well aware of the incident, the common people don't have so many twists and turns in their hearts. Knowing Yao Jinhong's rebellion, and knowing that Yao Jinhong's two sons and daughters were taken from Mr. Wei's farm. Marquis Ding Ding was rescued, and even the emperor dismissed Mr. Wei as an official, so they all believed Yao Jinhong's words. In a short while, the rumors turned around and shot at Wei Mansion and Yongjun Palace.

Yao Jinhong had no choice but to stay in the capital for the time being because the third department was going to continue the joint trial of the case. Jinse took her and her two children into the palace to be resettled regardless of people's doubts. I believe even more that Prince Wuying's House did not collude with Yao Jinhong in advance, and they all praised King Wuying and Princess Wang for their broad-mindedness and generosity.

The case of Song Qiyong was also retrialed by the prefect of Yunzhou. Ten days later, Song Qiyong was acquitted and released, but the master of the Hu family who competed with him for raw silk has maliciously provoked trouble, deliberately murdered the lives of villagers, and was charged with monopolizing the silk business in Xuancheng. prison.
