Chapter 158 Confrontation
Hearing the emperor's cold shout, Cao Yubian felt a chill in his heart for no reason, and his intuition was very bad. But after thinking about it for a moment, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. Moreover, the arrow was on the string at this time and had to be fired.
I saw Cao Yubian bowing and playing: "I think that since I, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, am the head of the hundred officials, I should set an example for them! Regardless of talent or virtue, I must be able to convince the public, so that all officials can be convinced!" "
When Zhao Qian and others heard this, they quickly nodded in agreement to increase their momentum and prestige.
Cao Yubian saw that the emperor was silent, so he talked eloquently: "As an official, you should report the kindness of the emperor, show compassion to the people, and maintain your own moral integrity! If you are not upright and your moral conduct is deficient, it will inevitably lead to corruption and negative consequences for your superiors. The king is so kind and exploits the people, no matter how talented such people are, I will be ashamed to be a minister in the same palace!"
After hearing what he said, the civil servants nodded immediately, and many people came out to agree: "What the Zuodu Censor said is an upright statement, and I agree with you!"
Who can say that such high-sounding words are wrong? In order to show my attitude, if I don't come out to support, am I the one with bad moral character?
Suddenly, there were many people who agreed with Zuodu Yushi's words. The atmosphere of this discussion seems to be turning into moral kidnapping!
Hu Guang suddenly shouted loudly, and interrupted the statements of the ministers below impatiently: "Don't just talk about the truth, the important thing is to see how to do it? I have urgent matters to deal with, and I don't have time to talk to you. Hua, let’s get to the point!”
When Cao Yubian heard this, he straightened his back and looked very upright. He pointed his finger at Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, and said: "I want to participate in Wen Tiren. My moral conduct is lacking and I am not worthy of being my chief minister of the Ming Dynasty!"
When the civil servants who were watching saw the momentum of Zuodu Yushi, they immediately woke up and knew that he must have some evidence to prove the crime, otherwise they would not have dared to accuse him face to face when the emperor was angry just now. Suddenly, many people were as excited as if they had been given a shot of blood, waiting to see the good show.
You should know that Wen Tiren usually does not interact with others, is a loner, and is very careful in life. Therefore, in the early years of Chongzhen, the attack on Wen Tiren was ultimately defeated by facts.
But now it seems that Wen Tiren probably just hid it deep enough. Now that the Zuodu Yushi has caught the evidence, this impeachment is likely to bring down Wen Tiren, the first assistant!
Okay, okay, let you be alone and not party, now everyone is attacking you, you are going to be in trouble!
However, Wen Tiren didn't have any fear or anxiety. He was just like a newly married young daughter-in-law who accepted everything. No matter what you say, he just lowered his eyebrows and obeyed, and he was beaten and scolded.
Hu Guang glanced at Wen Tiren, and then shouted to Cao Yubian: "How can you be so immoral? If there is no solid evidence, I will not spare you and punish you as well!"
Cao Yubian was shocked when he heard his attitude. His thoughts changed sharply and he decided to criticize the emperor for a while. He immediately said loudly: "I have found the real evidence. Wen Tiren abandoned his wife and ignored him. He had an intimate relationship with a brothel girl. He has been in business for a long time, and he spends huge sums of money just to please the brothel girls and satisfy his desires. How can such a person be the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty? I ask your Majesty to put him in prison and strictly investigate the source of his money. We will definitely find out. Expose him to corruption!"
As soon as they heard what he said, there was a lot of movement in the queue of civil servants. They all looked at Wen Tiren and thought, now it's better. It turns out that the chief assistant is really good at hiding it on the surface, but in fact, the male thief and female prostitute in his belly are no better at all. Go there!
Unexpectedly, this was not over yet. Cao Yubian then bowed and pointed the finger at the emperor himself: "It is said that there is no wind without waves, and there is wind in the hole! The Taizu gave the Imperial Examination Yuan the right to hear and report things, which probably originated from This. If your majesty punishes people in this way, it will not only violate the ancestral system, but also allow traitors to do things without restraint, which will be very detrimental to the people and the country. I ask your majesty to think again!"
"Where is the real evidence?" Hu Guang didn't listen to his words at all and immediately shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Cao Yubian understood that the emperor would not give up unless he came up with solid evidence. Not only would he continue to protect Wen Tiren, but he would also not admit his mistake, and his impression of the Metropolitan Procuratorate would not change.
He immediately bowed and said: "I have found out that the girl from the brothel who has a good relationship with Wen Tiren is the top girl in Yihong Courtyard. Your Majesty can pass this on and confront Wen Tiren face to face!"
Having a name and a surname seems to be a real success! When many civil servants saw this, they immediately looked at Wen Tiren with schadenfreude, it was going to be over now!
However, Wen Tiren did not argue at all and remained speechless, maintaining the same state as at the beginning of the morning. Is this stupid? Are you pretending to be pitiful to gain the emperor's sympathy? Haha, this time the Zuodu Censor did not attack him for forming a clique. How could he get away with it without arguing?
Hu Guang turned his head and signaled to the eunuch on duty, and immediately issued a decree. In just a moment, a woman was brought up.
Cao Yubian was a little surprised. At such a fast speed, could it be that the housekeeper had already brought her to the Meridian Gate?
The person had been brought there, and he could not allow him to think too much, so he bowed to the emperor, and then asked Ruhua: "Miss Ruhua, I, Cao Yubian, the censor of Zuodu, have something to ask you, and you must tell the truth. answer."
After a pause, he immediately reminded: "This is the imperial court. Everything is decided by your Majesty. No one dares to retaliate against you. Do you understand?"
Ruhua knelt on the ground, lowered her head and replied, "I understand!"
His voice was very clear and sweet, and coupled with his age of more than ten years, his beauty could be regarded as one of the top names in Yihongyuan, which immediately provoked a group of civil servants to secretly comment and praise Wen Tiren's good taste.
However, some people remembered what happened before and knew that Yihongyuan had donated money to make the emperor speak well of the girl from Yihongyuan. He even got angry about it and wiped out a marquis. Thinking about it this way, they became more curious and stared at Ruhua to see how she would answer.
If Ruhua missed her old relationship and pretended not to know Wen Tiren, it would be hard to threaten her in front of the emperor. In this way, Wen Tiren is likely to escape.
But since Zuodu Yushi did this, he must be confident. Well, it depends on how this little girl responds!
At this time, the old man Cao Yubian straightened his back and asked vigorously: "I want to ask you, Wen Tiren, that is, he is acquainted with you, do you have any relationship?"
While speaking, he pointed at Wen Tiren specifically.
Ruhua raised her head and glanced at Wen Tiren, then immediately lowered her head and nodded in response: "We are in a relationship!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar. He confessed in front of the court. Let's see how you, Wen Tiren, came to clear up the relationship!
When Cao Yubian heard this, he smiled in his heart. As expected, the bitch is ruthless. If she asks the housekeeper to promise a huge profit, she will immediately obediently bite the person next to her pillow.
He struck while the iron was hot and immediately asked: "When did you meet, how did you get along, and how much money did Wen Tiren spend on you? Let me tell you the truth!"
