The official road of the farmer

The minister wants to sue Ye Junshu, the right servant of the Ministry of officials, for the crime of deceiving the emperor!

The crime of bullying the king? !

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

"Fu Yushi, you can eat more food, don't talk nonsense!" Wan Xingchang said immediately.

"That is, the crime of deceiving the emperor is no small matter. If there is no evidence, it is not good for anyone to just say it with one mouth."

They didn't hear rumors that Ye Junshu, who was always well-behaved, had made any mistakes.

People like Ye Junshu who cherish their feathers carefully, they don't think they will commit the crime of deceiving the king.

Fu Yushi was not afraid at all, and said righteously to Emperor Tai'an: "Your Majesty, the reason why I said this is naturally there is sufficient evidence!"

"Your Majesty, Ye Junshu attracted your pity because of the ugly appearance of the younger brother in the family, and deceived you into the position of princess. All of us were kept in the dark."

"Your Majesty has a kind heart, but Ye Junshu has lied to the sky and used all means to obtain a title for his younger brother Ye Lu. The crime is aggravated!"

Fu Yushi spoke convincingly, and directly pointed out that the famous ugly brother of Ye Jun's calligrapher was not actually an ugly brother. They used Emperor Tai'an's benevolence to deceive the position of princess, which is a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven.

After Fu Yushi finished speaking, he straightened his back and walked to Ye Junshu, "Master Ye, can you plead guilty?"

Ye Junshu calmed down, he was still thinking about what he did wrong, or he was forced to splash dirty water, and he was thinking about countermeasures, but he didn't expect it to be because of Brother Lu.

After thinking about it, Ye Junshu thought that maybe when they were discussing outside, they were accidentally overheard by the nail inserted in.

He only mentioned it twice recently, but Ye Mansion was protected by Ah Yu and himself, so it shouldn't have spread from the mansion.

Then it should have been heard when I mentioned it to Ah Yu when I was in Zhuangzi.

That was a long time ago, it's hard for them to bear it for so long before launching an attack today.

It was also Ye Junshu who was careless, he thought this matter was purely their own family matter, he never thought that it could have something to do with the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Thinking of Lu Geer's recent conferment of the princess position.

Did they wait for this day?

However, Ye Junshu was unable to defend himself.

Emperor Tai'an looked at Ye Junshu, not happy or angry, and all the officials whispered to each other for a while.

Ye Junshu was also expressionless and did not argue.

Emperor Tai'an said solemnly: "Ye Qing, is there such a thing?"

Ye Junshu also lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down and saluted, "Minister, plead guilty." Of course Ye Junshu had to admit it, but it was impossible not to admit it, it was the truth after all.

If he denies it, wouldn't Brother Lu only have such a face for the rest of his life?

Ye Junshu thought a lot, and suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity to save Brother Lu from covering up his appearance. With his life, he could always break through Brother Lu's psychological shadow in one fell swoop.

Besides, with Ah Yu around, he would never be beheaded for the crime of deceiving the emperor. When this matter is investigated carefully, it cannot be said to be intentional.

Now that his life was safe, Ye Junshu calmed down.

The worst thing is to be dismissed from office.

But since he hasn't lost his usefulness, Emperor Tai'an will use him again sooner or later.

Xiahou Xuanjing's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly came out and said: "I want to report to my father, Lord Ye must be justified in doing so, besides, Lord Ye has never preached anything like this, but a little brother is not enough to be bullied." Your Majesty, I still hope that my father will learn from me!"

Deng Hongyuan was filled with righteous indignation: "This is not considered to be deceiving the emperor? Then what is it? Ye Junshu deceived the top and the bottom, disregarding the grace of the saints, the crime is unforgivable!"

"Lord Deng speaks seriously. Inside and outside the court, who doesn't know that Ye Lu looked like this before he came to the capital? This is a private matter of Mr. Ye's family. Besides, none of us have asked, so naturally we have no way of knowing his true face. This rises to To bully the king is to use forceful words to make sense!"

"Your Majesty has been deceived because of this, and it is the fact that Ye Junshu has benefited!"

It was only then that Ye Junshu understood the deeper intention behind Dai Wang's congratulations on his family's brother Lu getting the title.

If Brother Lu was just a commoner, it would be easy to expose them based on their relationship with Emperor Tai'an, but it happened that Brother Lu was named Princess Hui...

In addition to the courtiers who were watching from the sidelines, the other two groups of officials were arguing.

This shows Ye Junshu's popularity.One-third of the courtiers were defending Ye Junshu, and of course, more than one-third of the courtiers were holding onto Ye Junshu tightly.

Emperor Tai'an looked at the noisy courtiers. He looked down and saw everyone's expressions.

Dai Wang's face was calm, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and the Seventh Prince's face was anxious, as if he was afraid that Ye Junshu would be convicted...

Emperor Tai'an said displeased: "Shut up!"

The officials were silent for a moment and stood upright.

Emperor Tai'an looked at Ye Junshu who had been kneeling on the ground without saying a word from the beginning, "Ye Qing, do you have something to say?"

This is tantamount to giving Ye Junshu a chance to defend himself, without directly convicting him.

Fu Yushi: "Your Majesty..."

He was about to speak, but Emperor Tai'an looked at him coldly, and immediately fell silent.

Ye Junshu bowed his head and kowtowed first, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, I have no excuse for the fact that Brother Lu deceived His Majesty and the Empress by covering up his appearance, but the guilty minister begs Your Majesty, if you really want to convict, you can only Punish the offender alone, don't offend your family..."

Ye Junshu kowtowed again, "Everything is wrong with the guilty minister. It is the minister's incompetence and inability to protect his family that made Lu Ge'er wronged for so many years..."

Ye Junshu prostrated himself on the ground, and said in a hoarse voice: "My father and mother have both died since I was a child, and as the eldest son, I have to take on the responsibility of raising my younger brother... The younger brother in the family is still young and cannot do without others. Fortunately, the villagers are kind and help from time to time. Life is barely going on.

Chen thought that his whole life would be like this, that he would stay in the village and raise his younger brothers to grow up safely until they got married and started a business.But until nine years ago, a person came to this peaceful town, and the nightmare began..."

"This man came from a wealthy family with many servants and guards, and he loves beauty. During this period, he forced countless brothers who were slightly more attractive, which caused panic in the county and the countryside. Even the magistrate of the county was in a panic. I won't let you go, I just snatch the good-looking little brother and keep him by my side..."

"Back then, brother Lu was only an eight-year-old child, but he was taken by that beast... I was just a country boy at the time, how could I protect my younger brother under the power? I have no choice...

The minister had no choice but to make a bad plan and use some medicine he found to let Lu Geer pretend to have hives, so as to escape the catastrophe.

But also because of this incident, it left a deep shadow on Lu Geer. After arriving in the capital, the minister relieved Lu Geer countless times. Well, he can only be called good-looking if he is in the countryside. This place is at the foot of the emperor, and what happened back then will not happen again.

But Brother Lu was too scared, so afraid that he felt at ease with such a face on his face, it's because I didn't give Brother Lu a sense of security..."

"All this is the fault of the minister. It is the minister who is incompetent and unable to protect his relatives. All the faults are the responsibility of the minister. Please forgive me!"

Ye Junshu dissected the events of the year, and at the end, his voice was choked up, revealing his true feelings.

Ye Junshu can still recall the resentment he felt for his powerlessness back then.

"It's nonsense! Your Majesty governs wisely, how can there be officials in this world who are helpful and oppressive? Who else dares to be so rampant and bully the weak?"

Ye Junshu's mood calmed down a lot, and he said calmly: "There is nothing false in what I said, and His Majesty sent someone to investigate what happened back then."

Elder Jiang Ge said at this time: "Regardless of whether Master Ye's crime of deceiving the emperor is true or not, our court cannot tolerate such a scum appearing. Once found out, we will definitely punish him severely."

Xiahou Xuanjing looked at Ye Junshu and was very moved. He never expected that Brother Zizhou's family would have such a tragic past.

He immediately said: "Lord Ye, who is this official's son, you just tell me, such a person who despises the king's law, when the father finds out the truth, he will definitely give you justice!"

Justice will come sooner or later.

Ye Junshu glanced at Xiahou Xuanjing, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.

Seeing that Emperor Tai'an did not interrupt, it was obvious that he would also be held accountable.

He looked at Mingxiang, who had been very detached from the beginning to the end, and King Dai who started to lower his face, and then said in a deep voice: "Speaking of which, everyone has heard of this person, maybe you know him, he is..."

After a pause, Ye Junshu continued: "Ming Pengkun, I heard that he is Mingxiang's second son."

When Ye Junshu said a word, it immediately stirred up waves.

An official suddenly jumped up and said excitedly: "It's a bunch of nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, in order to evade responsibility, Ye Junshu slandered those who died for the imperial court, and please Your Majesty to be the master of the Ming family!"

Many officials thought of Er Ye Ming who had long been forgotten, and their expressions were different for a while.

They all know that the reason why Ming Pengkun left the capital was because he was greedy for beauty and forcibly robbed the elder brother of the Marquis of Guang'an, which caused the elder brother to commit suicide. Sent away from the capital.

Did it turn out to be domineering in a remote place?

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so he really does not change his nature.

That's right, Ming Pengkun was killed by bandits on Linjiang Road in Linfeng County back then, and when he returned to the capital, he gained a good reputation for killing bandits for the imperial court and unfortunately died in the line of duty.

You know, Linfeng County is next door to Fengcheng County...

In this way, the death of Ming Pengkun back then is open to discussion.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were different.

How old was Ye Junshu back then? 15 years old?To kill the son of a powerful official?

This scheming is really shocking.

Marquis Guang'an, who had been watching from the sidelines, said with a sneer, "No one in the capital knows what kind of person Ming Pengkun is? Why should Master Ming be blind?"

This jumping up and down is a side branch of the Ming family, and even Ming Xiang and Ming Pengzhan, two immediate family members, have not responded yet.

Ye Junshu seemed to be unaware of the state of officials.

"The harm that Second Master Ming brought to us in Fengcheng County is still there today."

"However, after we heard that the second master actually led people to arrest the bandits who caused harm to the people of one side, the people buried this matter in their hearts.

Although we cannot forgive the person who caused us such harm, we will not hate a person who died for the country. "

What Ye Junshu said was equivalent to blocking the possibility of finding out the truth that Ye Junshu might have murdered Ming Pengkun.

The posthumous honor given to Ming Pengkun back then was undoubtedly a shackle.

If he went to investigate the truth, then what Ye Junshu said would make Ming Pengkun more than deserved to die.

What's more, so many years have passed, it is very slim whether it is possible to find out that Ming Pengkun's death is related to Ye Junshu.

No matter how one checks, it is Ming Pengkun who seeks death by himself.

And Li Yu was there back then, so he must have erased all the clues.

When their people checked, they didn't find anything related to Ye Junshu's family.

The Ming family didn't even know that Ye Junshu's family existed.

Otherwise, no matter whether Ye Junshu and Ming Pengkun's death had anything to do with each other, they would not let Ye Junshu stand out.

The previous gap made him destined to stand on the opposite side with the Ming family. In this case, they will not let the enemy rise.

Unfortunately, they never knew about this past event.

And the eldest prince... Dai Wang and the Ming family even tried to win him over.

Thinking of this, not only Dai Wang changed his expression, but even Ming Pengzhan's expression changed.

What they did back then became a joke!

Ming Pengzhan didn't have any feelings for that spoiled younger brother, but he was his own younger brother after all, and when he thought that he had been dead for so many years, he would bring such a powerful enemy to their Ming family, and he felt even more rift in his heart. .

"Speaking of which, I also want to thank that Second Lord Ming. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have embarked on the imperial examination road, and I wouldn't be standing here today."

Ye Junshu said that he was grateful, but it made Ming Xiang's expression rarely change.

Unexpectedly, his ineffective son would find such a strong enemy for him.

Emperor Tai'an knew exactly what the second son of the Ming family was like, but under the double protection of Prime Minister Ming and Concubine Ming, Emperor Tai'an couldn't do anything.

When he was bitten by the Marquis of Guang'an back then, Emperor Tai'an wanted to teach him a lesson, but the Ming family sent him away first, and said in a very low profile that it made him think about it.

Emperor Tai'an couldn't hold on to it any longer, so he had to give up.

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, when they heard about Ming Er again, it was news of his death.

Now that the person is dead, Emperor Tai'an and Marquis Guang'an couldn't hold on to a dead person, and they were happy to sell the Ming family's face and add a false name to them.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that the old things that have passed for so many years will be brought up again today.

Fu Yushi didn't care so much, he said: "No matter what the truth is and what the reason is, it is a fact that Ye Junshu committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, please Your Majesty to investigate clearly!"

Wan Xingchang said: "It is understandable for Mr. Ye to conceal this matter, not to mention that they are all victims. Mr. Ye has been an official for so many years, and he has devoted himself to Daxia before he died. It would be too ruthless to punish him based on this alone."

You know, bullying the emperor is a serious crime, and the Ming family can't get rid of it if they really want to be investigated. The Ming family always shoots themselves in the foot.Even Ming Xiang and Ming Pengzhan had to avoid suspicion, and it was not easy to express their opinions.What happened back then, since Ye Junshu said so, it means that he has evidence in his hand. If they swear that it is slander, it would be nice to be slapped in the face in a blink of an eye.Some Ming family forces who were about to fan the flames saw that the situation was not right, and they couldn't figure out the meaning of the opacity for a while, so they didn't dare to speak.As a result, Fu Yushi, who had complained at the beginning, had the most fun dancing.Ye Junshu also stopped talking, but waited for the verdict.Emperor Tai'an pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Ye Qing did conceal the truth, but it is justifiable, so..."

"Just suspend the position and think about the past at home."

Whether this punishment is serious or not, there is no such thing as a prison sentence.

But it involved the Ming family, Rao wanted to make Tai'an Emperor punish him severely with the nonsense reason of intentionally gaining sympathy, but no one dared to speak up.

But even though the second master Ming Peng Kun had passed away for many years, the memory of him was still fresh in the old people like them.

If they say a few more words about Emperor Tai'an and get to the bottom of it, the Ming family will not be able to please them.

Dai Wang and the Ming family want to take advantage of this time to completely overthrow Ye Junshu, it is simply a dream.

The Ming faction didn't dare to say anything, and Fu Yushi's weak objection was ignored.

A group of officials kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Ye Junshu also expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Long live my emperor."

Emperor Tai'an stood up, and the eunuch at the side immediately said: "Retire!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
