But the reason why the Royal Party is the Royal Party is that Wang Chong will never be allowed to fight alone. After all, if it is true that Wang Cheng colluded with the barbarians, not only the Wang family will be implicated, but many officials of the Royal Party will also be implicated.

Everyone wins, everyone loses, no matter what, they can't let Wang Cheng have an accident.

What is partisan struggle is that we only care about the differences between the parties, and do not ask whether right or wrong is right or wrong.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. You can't just rely on He Yushi's one-sided words to think that Wang Dadu is guilty. Maybe there is something hidden in it. I hope Your Majesty can see clearly." Chen Chi, a member of Zhongshushe, came out.

"Your Majesty, I also think that Chen Sheren's words are justified. The governor of Wang Dadu has always been loyal to the imperial court. The government and the public know it. I believe that he will never do something like supporting the bandits and colluding with the barbarians." Minister of the Ministry of War Yin Yin Straight out.

"Your Majesty, Chief Commander Wang has guarded Liangzhou for many years. He has repeatedly repelled the Hu people and Qiang people for the imperial court, and has made great contributions to the court. If the imperial court wants to deal with the Chief Executive Officer Wang based on one-sided words, it will not make hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border feel disappointed. ?” Si Nong Shaoqing Du Zhen came out

"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter must be investigated to find out the truth. I might as well send a censor to Liangzhou from Yushitai to find out the truth for Your Majesty. If there is no investigation, it is better to return the innocence of Dudu Wang. "Shi Qiaotai, the official secretary and censor, proposed a seemingly fair and neutral solution.

Xiao Jie's face was calm, but he was sneering in his heart.This method sounds good, but Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from Luoyang. When the censor arrives in Liangzhou, it is estimated that the evidence that should be destroyed by Wang Cheng will have been destroyed long ago, and those who should have been silenced will have been silenced long ago. Yushi If Taiwan can find out something, it will be hell.Furthermore, Qiaotai, the censor who governs the book, is the second-in-command of Yushitai and an important figure in the royal party. The censor he sent to investigate this matter must also be facing Wang Cheng, and maybe he will beat him up in the end and sue the supervisor. Censor He Yi is a crime of false accusation.

In less than a cup of tea, nearly one-third of the officials in the court had come forward to intercede for Wang Cheng.

These officials are both civil and military, involving three platforms, five provinces, six ministries and eleven temple supervisors, covering almost all the institutions of the imperial court. They are not all members of the royal party, and some are just officials who have good relations with the royal party. At critical times, they choose to pull Wang Dang one.

Xiao Ji's complexion became more and more gloomy, but he didn't get angry, he just watched all this with cold eyes.

Seeing so many officials standing up to speak for his son, Wang Chong somewhat regained his confidence, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Wang Cheng is the son of the old minister, and the old minister thinks that he knows what he is like, so he will definitely not do it." Such a rebellious thing happened. He Yushi's memorial is only a few words, and there is no evidence from anyone. It is really hard to convince the veterans."

"Yes, there is no physical evidence, so it is really unconvincing." Officials of the royal party echoed.

Xiao Ji looked at He Yi, and said in a deep voice: "He Yushi, you said that Wang Cheng smuggled salt and iron to the Hu people in Mobei without permission. Can anyone prove it?"

He Yi was at a loss for words for a while, sighed, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the minister didn't..."

All the officials were in an uproar, especially the members of the royal party, who all accused He Yi of impeaching the big officials of the frontier without any grounds, confusing the public, and punishing him.

Xiao Jie watched from the side, feeling sorry for He Yi.

He knew why He Yi couldn't produce evidence, because Yu Wenxuan sent someone to inform him about Wang Cheng's smuggling of salt and iron.

Yu Wenxuan placed a person next to Wang Cheng. That person was deeply trusted by Wang Cheng. He would bring him with him every time he traded with barbarians. He would secretly record the time, person, weight and quantity of the goods every time. The money was written into a booklet and sent back to Miaorenfang in Luoyang secretly.

Yu Wenxuan threw the pamphlet into the residence of the supervisory censor He Yi in the middle of the night. He Yi was famous for being upright and could not tolerate the slightest bit of sand in his eyes. Yu Wenxuan took advantage of his uprightness and asked him to impeach Wang Cheng, which aroused chaos in the court. A storm, and they, the old men, can profit from it.

As expected, He Yi lived up to Yu Wenxuan's expectations and wrote a memorial overnight to impeach Wang Cheng. In his opinion, although there is no evidence yet, this matter is related to the safety of the imperial court's northwest frontier. The imperial court must not take it lightly. If Wang Cheng really smuggled salt and iron to the Hu people, he must be resolutely investigated and dealt with. If it is finally proved that the matter is false, Wang Cheng can be cleared, and the hearts of the court and the people of the world will be reassured.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the matter is related to the safety of the northwestern border of the imperial court. The imperial court must not take it lightly. I beg you to transfer the governor of the king back to Beijing for the time being to investigate the truth. If it is proved that this matter is not true, I, He Yi, would like to report to the king in person. The governor will plead guilty."

In the face of accusations from many officials, the upright He Yi did not flinch, but instead proposed a solution that he thought was appropriate.

Xiao Jie didn't know whether to praise He Yi for his uprightness or laugh at his ignorance.

Wang Cheng will never return to Beijing.

According to the DPRK-China practice, a border general cannot serve in one place for more than three years, in order to prevent the local generals from supporting themselves, but Wang Cheng is an exception. He has been in the position of the governor of Liangzhou for more than ten years.

Every time the imperial court wanted to transfer Wang Cheng to another place, the Qiang or Hu people would immediately offend the border. The court had no choice but to let Wang Cheng stay as the governor of Liangzhou for the time being, and lead the army to resist the Qiang or Hu people. people.

After so many times, there were rumors in the court that Liangzhou could not be suppressed without Wang Cheng, and the northwest was restless without Wang Cheng.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the royal party is building momentum behind it, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Wang Cheng stayed in office for more than ten years, almost turning Liangzhou into his independent kingdom, and the 30 Northwest Frontier Army almost became his personal private soldiers.

It is precisely because Wang Cheng holds 30 of the most elite northwest frontier troops in Daning. Although Wang Chong is in the middle of the court to fight against dissidents and form cliques for personal gain, the court is wary of rats, and Xiao Ji can only turn a blind eye to what the royal party does. With one eye, sit back and watch the royal party grow bigger in the court.

The growth of the royal party in the court has further stabilized Wang Cheng's position as the governor of Liangzhou, making him stay as the governor of Liangzhou for more than ten years, and no one in the court dared to object.

Wang Chong and Wang Cheng, father and son, have one government and one army, and firmly hold the military and political power from the court to the local area.

Xiao Jie knew that in Xiao Ji's heart, he never wanted to eradicate the Wang family, but was just waiting for a suitable opportunity.

In the original book, a very important reason for Xiao Huang's rise was to help Xiao Ji successfully eradicate the Wang family, and the reason Xiao Jie was killed was because he was the grandson of the Wang family, which is evident in Xiao Ji's hatred for the Wang family.

But now the feng shui turns, under Xiao Jie's coquettish manipulation, Xiao Huang has now become the grandson-in-law of the Wang family, and Xiao Jie himself, the grandson of the Wang family, has completely broken with the Wang family.

Xiao Jie specially participated in this court meeting today to help Xiao Ji deal with the royal party. He wanted to let Xiao Ji know that Xiao Jie was no longer the grandson of the Wang family, but his son of Xiao Ji.
