weak to him

The news that Wei Han had arrested Zheng Yu and sent him to prison quickly spread in the capital, and Zheng Yu's party members were all in panic all day long, for fear that they would be involved in this incident.

It's just how could Wei Han let them go, Zheng Yu and Zheng Yu's henchmen are all poultry raised by Wei Han. When the time comes, they will naturally be slaughtered for food.If they were easily let go, wouldn't Wei Han's efforts for so long be for nothing?

Wei Han firstly changed the veterans who were retaliated by Zheng Yu into a clean cell, then hired an imperial doctor in the palace to treat their illnesses and wounds, and personally ordered someone to decoct them.Bailiji stood beside Wei Han and said, "My lord, they have been visiting you in front of the emperor before, why are you still so kind to them?"

"What's the matter?" Wei Han asked back: "I didn't pay for the medicine, how can I treat them well?"

According to Bailiji's thinking, they should be allowed to fend for themselves in prison.Wei Han knew what he was thinking, and said helplessly, "After this promotion, you can be considered number one in the capital, so you can't still remember the habit of being the top soldier."

Bailiji scratched his head and didn't quite understand, Wei Han said: "Being a soldier has the rules of being a soldier, and being an official has the rules of being an official. Da Rong has preferential treatment for civilian officials, and the punishment is not as good as the doctor. Officials pay attention to keeping a front line in everything, and they can calculate whatever they want when they are officials in the court, but as long as they leave the court, they will not go too far."

Bailiji is still ignorant about this aspect. He used to always feel that whoever is big and ruthless is the boss, and he doesn't think too much about things.But Wei Han will reuse him in the future, so he can't just watch him continue like this.He said: "Find a few books to read when you go back. It will be good for you to read the Chronicles of the Spring and Autumn Annals."

Bailiji's face immediately wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and it was more uncomfortable for him to read than to go to the battlefield.

Wei Han glanced at him sideways, only to think that when people are needed, they will hate less. Why is he so short of talents?He said: "But now you have to arrest Zheng Yu's henchmen one by one. It is useless for this group of scum to stay in the court. It is better to leave all the positions for learned people."

Bailiji was overjoyed when he heard that, at least he didn't have to read Laozi's book for the time being.He clenched his fists excitedly and said: "Yes, I'll do it right now." Then he ran away.

With Zheng Yu's downfall, Bailiji's aggressive arrest of Zheng Yu's henchmen in the capital naturally cannot be hidden from Chao Wenwu.They happily slapped their swollen thighs, but at the same time they were a little puzzled, isn't this too fast?He just came back.

Zheng Yu, who was arrogant and arrogant before, was like a paper tiger in front of Wei Han, and he was easily taken down by him.This made the ministers who were tossed to death by Zheng Yu feel like they were dreaming, either they were dreaming before or they were dreaming now, it was not a good dream anyway.

Wei Han sent someone to find Li Han again, and asked him to spend the night listing Zheng Yu's crimes in detail.After all, Zheng Yu is also an official appointed by the court, even if it is just a formality, it has to be like that.

The next morning, Yu Zhijing, who hadn't gone to court for a long time, was finally ready to go to court.The officials, who were used to sleeping a little longer in the morning, crawled out of the quilt sleepily, and then went to court one by one in high spirits.

Wei Han, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, had been waiting in front of the gate of Huangji Hall early on, standing with his hands behind his back and letting the breeze blow his clothes, he had the demeanor of a generation of masters.Dali Siqing walked over and said, "Your Excellency came so early."

Wei Han smiled and said, "I've been marching for many days, and I'm used to getting up early."

"My lord, it's really hard work." Dali Temple Minister wanted to ask him how he planned to deal with Zheng Yu, but seeing Wei Han's face was indifferent, as if he had no intention of speaking, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

He didn't dare to mention it, but some people dared to mention it. As the father-in-law of Wei Han's elder brother, Lu Yong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was very conscious of being an elder.As soon as he got off the sedan chair and saw Wei Han, he immediately walked over and said, "I heard that you arrested Zheng Yu and Zheng Yu's henchmen last night. Is this the emperor's order?"

"It's Lord Lu." Wei Han greeted, "I've been busy since I returned to Beijing, and I haven't had a chance to visit my sister-in-law. I don't know how my sister-in-law is doing? How is my unborn nephew?"

"Okay, it's good." Lu Yong said: "The old man has taken Miaomiao home to live in. After all, she is pregnant, and there are always people who take care of her."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wei Han said gratefully, "My brother and I both work hard, but I have wronged my sister-in-law."

"Where is this? It is right to be loyal to the country..."

After talking for a long time, he realized that he had been led astray by Wei Han. He coughed, thinking that this kid is too ghostly.So he forcibly changed the topic and said: "You tell the old man the truth, did the emperor ask you to do this?"

Wei Han answered honestly, "No."

"Is that what you did?" Lu Yong said solemnly: "Zheng Yu is now favored by the emperor, and you arrested him indiscriminately. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you?"

Wei Han said indifferently: "When I was still in Sichuan, I don't know who wrote me a letter full of blood and tears. Why are you not so eager to deal with Zheng Yu now?"

Lu Yong coughed dryly. He also signed the letter that was signed by all officials. At this moment, he blushed uncontrollably when he mentioned his old age.He said: "I am also thinking of you, if the emperor blames me, who else can deal with Zheng Yu?"

"Don't worry about that." Wei Han said with a confident smile, "Your Majesty is an enlightened ruler who is rarely seen in a hundred years. Naturally, he is keen to distinguish right from wrong, discern right from wrong, and judge the truth. How can he tolerate such a treacherous villain like Zheng Yu?" ?”

"..."

Lu Yong grew his mouth and widened his eyes to look at Wei Han. He couldn't imagine that there are such people in the world who tell lies with their eyes open. If the current emperor is Mingjun, are we forced to write a joint letter to you?Wei Han, can you show some face and talk properly?

Lu Yong said with a troubled face: "I'm telling you the truth, I'm not joking."

"I'm not kidding either." Wei Han patted Lu Yong's old arm and said, "You and I are considered a family, and I won't make fun of you if I make fun of anyone."

At this time, the door of Huangji Hall opened slowly, and Ma Dexi said in a sharp voice: "Hundreds of officials enter the hall!"

Everyone shut their mouths one after another, lined up and entered the Huangji Hall.Ma Dexi shouted again: "The emperor is here!"

After a long absence, Baiguan finally saw Yu Zhijing's obviously rounder face again.Yu Zhijing sat down on the dragon chair, and when he saw Wei Han, he immediately smiled and said, "Wei Aiqing is back?"

Wei Han rolled his eyes in his heart, and said to himself, didn't he meet yesterday?But he still came out solemnly and said: "Back to the emperor, I was ordered to go to Shuzhong to suppress the rebellion and returned. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission. This is the minister's counter-rebellion list, please check it with the emperor."

As he spoke, he took out a memorial and handed it to Ma Dexi, who then presented it to Yu Zhijing.Yu Zhijing didn't even look at it and said, "I don't worry about anything Aiqing does. I don't know what else Aiqing has to do?"

The hearts of the ministers jumped and said that it was coming, and they all held their breaths and did not dare to take a breath.

Wei Han did not disappoint them, he said: "I heard in Shuzhong that there was a traitor who committed crimes and devastated the conscience. As the servant of the Ministry of punishment, how can I tolerate such a person to continue to harm the court. I am listening. After your lords’ accusations, the treacherous Zheng Yu, who has harmed the country and the people and deceived the emperor, was arrested and imprisoned last night, and after a very full night of interrogation, Zheng Yu confessed to his evil deeds."

Wei Han took out another memorial and said, "These are Zheng Yu's confessions, please read them, Your Majesty."

The hearts of the officials were all in their throats, their eyes were fixed on the memorial, and then they watched Yu Zhijing flip through the memorial.Yu Zhijing flipped through the pages quietly, with the expression on his face unchanged.This made the officials even more uneasy, wondering if this was the calm before the storm?

As a result, Yu Zhijing looked at Wei Han tenderly after reading it and said, "If Aiqing hadn't found out the evidence, I wouldn't have known about it. Aiqing is really my humerus minister."

The officials' eyes widened: "Huh?"

"Such a treacherous and evil person is simply unpardonable." Yu Zhijing shook his head pretendingly and said, "This is the order to execute Zheng Yu, and all his henchmen are also executed."

The ministers opened their mouths wide: "Ah?"

Wei Han knelt on the ground and said loudly: "My emperor is wise, it is because Yao and Shun are alive."

"..."

Is this the end for Zheng Yu?

Happiness came so suddenly that Manchu civil and military officials couldn't react.They were even ready for a big fight, and they had thought of the act of grabbing the land with their heads, but they never expected that Yu Zhijing would execute Zheng Yu without saying a word.Lu Yong looked at Wei Han in disbelief. Could it be that the emperor is really a wise king who is rare in a hundred years as he said?

Go cheating!

Anyone with eyes knew that there was something tricky in it, but they couldn't figure out anything by random guessing. They only guessed that it was Yu Zhijing who could still listen to Wei Han's words.

Wei Han turned his head silently and said: "Zheng Yu was executed by the emperor, are you not happy?"

"..."

"Ah... Your Majesty is wise..."

At this moment, a little eunuch hurried over, knelt on the ground excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, Liaodong is a great victory."

"what……"

Yu Zhijing stood up excitedly, "Quick, make it clear."

The little eunuch said: "General Wei defeated the Mongolian army and took back the land of Dayong, and even took advantage of the victory to pursue and go deep into the grassland, beheading countless Mongolians."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Yu Zhijing said three good words in a row, and the officials were overjoyed. Since the founding of the People's Republic, this is the first time that Great Rong has expanded its territory.

"Reward! I will definitely reward you a lot!"

Wei Han said: "It's too early to confer rewards at this time, it's not too late to confer rewards on the day when General Wei returns triumphantly."

"Yes, yes, I am very happy."

Wei Han said again: "Your minister has taken the Minister of the Ministry of War who was unjustly imprisoned, and the Minister of Political Affairs He Weiyong and other ministers out of the prison. The adults have been physically and mentally injured, and they can't even stand up."

When the ministers heard this, they said in their hearts that now is not the time to be happy, and if they want to be happy, they have to go home and be secretly happy.If He Weiyong and the others took this opportunity to retire and return home, they would have to go back and discuss the vacant seats.

Yu Zhijing said: "A few lovers have suffered, and I will definitely compensate them."

Wei Han took out a few memorials and said: "This is the memorial of the Minister of the Ministry of War, Shen Zhizhengshi and other adults who have returned to their hometowns. Several adults said that they are old and frail, and they were seriously injured in the prison. They can no longer share the worries of the emperor. , and ask the emperor to allow him to retire and return to his hometown."

"I can't bear to see the elders continue to work hard, so why don't you go back to your hometown to spend your old age in peace." Yu Zhijing said: "I entrust the elders with the title of Doctor Jin Zi Guanglu, and they will enjoy a first-class salary without having to report on their duties in Beijing. go."

At this time, it was decided, and Li Han came out at this time and said: "Your Majesty, most of the vacancies in the court are now filled, and we must fill them. Wei Han, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, first quelled the chaos in the middle of Shu and then investigated and punished traitors with his own strength. It can be said that Zheng Yu and others have made great contributions. Moreover, Lord Wei is able to march and understand military affairs, and the post of minister of the Ministry of War must belong to Lord Wei. This is the joint name of all officials."

The ministers were stunned again. Everything that happened in the early morning court was beyond their expectations. The Minister of the Ministry of War’s memorial to the old man had just been released. just come?

This is too fast...

Some officials felt that Wei Han was too young and it was inappropriate to do this, but he looked to the left and couldn't see anyone coming out to speak, so he choked back the words.

Yu Zhijing said: "I also think it's very good, let Wei Han be the secretary of the Ministry of War."
