Lei Yue Longmen

In July, there was a breakthrough in the case of successive assaults on the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.The Ministry of Criminal Justice found out that the mastermind behind the scenes was Pang Bingfang, the former commander of the Western Suburb Camp of the Yulin Army.According to his confession, because he was impeached by the censor a few years ago and was dismissed from his post at home, he has always held a grudge and waited for an opportunity to retaliate.It just so happened that the Cui Moxian case broke out at the beginning of the year, and many people in the army felt wronged for Cui Yunliang. He took the opportunity to win over a group of generals, and secretly planned to show some color to the rising officials.

The Holy One was furious, and ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to conduct a thorough investigation, and the generals involved in the case must be arrested and brought to justice.But Cen Zhu knew that since Pang Bingfang surfaced, the case had come to an end.Everyone knows who is behind Pang Bingfang.

Tu Yuanshan planted the seed of disaster in the suburbs of Beijing by marrying his daughter back then. He was not expected to be able to keep his own place.When the censor impeached him years ago, it was at the critical moment that Tu Yuanshan's life and death were unknown, and now he naturally hopes to eradicate the northern Xinjiang forces in the capital in one fell swoop.However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations, and Tu Yuanshan escaped from death again. Now the attack of this chess piece is just the price paid for the hasty move and one bad move.No matter how arrogant the other party is, if they fall into the passive position, they can only swallow their anger.

In the end, of course, only Pang Bingfang was punished, and the result of the punishment was not serious. He just lost his official title and sent him back to his hometown in the south for the elderly.It was enough to give Tu Yuanshan face.The censors headed by Lan Lie of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were quite dissatisfied with this, thinking that the punishment was too light.Lan Lie stopped Li Pinghong's way down the court on the spot, and asked, "Where does the emperor place the dignity of the imperial court and state law when he treats lawless criminals so leniently? If such incidents happen again in the future, will the minister have to let the censor take a knife to the street and personally deal with it?" Only by beheading the murderer and paying back the color can we ensure self-defense?"

"How dare you!" Li Pinghong was also impatient, and sternly scolded him.

"Why don't you dare! Lu Yushi, who was beaten and seriously injured by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is still lying at home half dead! The murderer is still at large. Killing people to pay for their lives, debts and money. Right in front of me! I just don’t understand why the emperor didn’t issue an order to investigate to the end! Since the emperor has captured Pang Bingfang, he should kill them all! Find out the mastermind behind it and go to prison together to question the crime! Otherwise, what is the law? , What is the law of heaven! Does the emperor want to let the world? Subjects be slaughtered by the neck, in the name of the emperor's benevolence? "

"you……!!"

Li Pinghong almost lost his temper on the spot. If King Cheng hadn't seen that something was wrong and quickly stepped up the imperial steps to hug his father, Li Pinghong would have almost drawn his sword to cut Lan Lie.

King Cheng stood in front of Li Pinghong, pushed Lan Lie down the steps, and said earnestly: "Marquis Wensong, please pay attention to your words. After all, the Holy One is the father of a king, so how can you be rude? The Holy One will definitely punish the murderer severely, but it's just that you still have to pay attention to the murderer now." Before the time comes, I ask Marquis Wen Song to be considerate of my father's difficulties."

Seeing this, the rest of the ministers also came forward to mediate, "Wen Songhou, shut up, is this your attitude when talking to the Holy Majesty?"

"That's right, there are priorities, don't be reckless! You'd better come down quickly!"

"What's the embarrassment? Isn't it because you are afraid of Tu Yuanshan? Could it be that he can turn the world upside down!" His roar shocked everyone, and the strange thing is that even Li Pinghong fell silent.Everyone held their breath, for fear that if they were not careful, they would touch themselves with mold.

Now that the words have been pointed out to such an extent, it is useless to say more.Li Pinghong waved his hand impatiently, "Marquis Wen Song has repeatedly disrespected your father and uttered disobedient words. In the past, I treated you generously and tolerantly for the sake of Princess Changping, but now I have allowed you to become even more unrestrained. I think you don't want to be the censor of Zuodu anymore, go back and deal with crimes!"

"My lord, thank you for your grace!" Lan Lie also had a backbone. After receiving the decree on the knees, he took off his official hat, placed it in front of his knees, kowtowed to the king, got up, and strode away without hesitation under the eyes of everyone.

Because the Youdu Censor has always been only for adding titles, Cen Zhu has become the number one figure in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Today, she was ordered to temporarily take charge of the general affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate before the new Zuodu Censor took office. Zuodu Yushi's authority.She was only 27 years old that year.Since Yurui established the dynasty, there has never been such a young head of the academy.The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate strongly opposed it one after another, and impeachment memorials were flying all over the sky for a while.Most of them point out that she is flattering and welcomes her, and her virtue is not worthy.It's totally unreasonable today.

Cen Zhu knew that the reason why the censor reacted strongly was probably because he expressed his dissatisfaction with Jinshang's handling of Lan Lie.Under pressure, she asked for her resignation multiple times to intercede for Lan Lie, but Li Pinghong did not agree.Jiang Yiting, Fu Minzheng and other friends persuaded her to "do my part" and "don't pay attention to rumors", but she knew that these imperial historians would not let it go.

On this day, she suddenly received a secret letter from Fuyang, which mentioned that some time ago someone went to her hometown Zhushan County to inquire about her family background.Cen Zhu was vigilant, and meditated in the study for a long time. He didn't call the book boy who was transcribing the scrolls in. He sat in front of the desk, spread out the letter paper, wrote a letter in crooked handwriting, and asked his confidant to send it to Guiyun Bank overnight.And repeatedly told, "Be sure to hurry up!"

Sure enough, five days later, the censors headed by Zhao Chen and Shen Xi impeached Cen Zhu in court for pretending to be the son of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River.

Cen Zhu knew that what was supposed to come was coming after all.

In Zhao Chen's charges, she used the name of the son of Cen Zhongyu, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, to obtain fame from Enkebo.And Cen Zhongyu disappeared in the shopping mall as early as 20 years ago, and there is no way to test the details.And Cen Zhuo has been an official for several years since he ascended the throne, and he has never seen his mother, Mrs. Cen, appear in person, not even for such a major event as the death of his daughter-in-law, which is really contrary to common sense.

"I went to Zhushan County, Cen Zhu's hometown, to inquire. I heard that the gate of Cen's residence there is closed all the year round, and only a few servants come in and out. There is no so-called Mrs. Cen at all. And I went to look through the local maps and learned that Cen Zhongyu did have a son, but his name is Cen Yi, Lost Yi, not Cen Zhu's Zhu, how can Lord Cen explain this?"

As soon as Cen Zhu came out of the queue, Shen Xi said from behind: "Lord Cen, please don't say that Mrs. Cen has passed away. As far as I know, Lord Cen has never had any worries in these years, and there is no one in the family. The tablet of the old lady."

Cen Zhu sneered and said, "Don't bother Mr. Shen."

Then he held up his wat and said: "My Majesty, before I can prove my innocence, I also want to impeach someone. I want to impeach Yushi Zhao Chen, and I have repeatedly attacked the humble minister with jealousy and jealousy. I didn't pursue it before. It was because of my colleagues." Yi, I didn't expect the other party to intensify, not only in private? Investigating the deceased wife of the minister, making her a vain name?, became depressed, died of illness, and now even slandered the mother of the minister. As a son of man, he absolutely cannot be an official in the same dynasty. Your Majesty, please, if the facts prove your innocence, please the Emperor depose Zhao Chen and punish him for slandering his courtiers!"

Li Pinghong was about to speak, but Shen Xi said: "Your Majesty, this case must never be opened! It is a duty to impeach the censor! Even if there is an overcorrection, it should be corrected first, not held accountable. This is Emperor Tai|Zu Sacred decree. Lord Zhao is only performing his duty, if Lord Cen is really innocent, even if there are thousands of impeachments, it will not hurt her!"

"No harm? It's easy for you to say! Can you make the minister's wife and the Cui family Saburo come back to life? As a censor, you have to be responsible for your own words and bear the consequences. Instructions. Why doesn’t Mr. Shen dare to take responsibility for his own words?!”

Shen Xi was dissatisfied: "You are confusing the public..."

"Who is confusing the public! If someone else was in this position today, would you still impeach? It's clearly revenge!"

Zhao Chen has always been a person who would not admit defeat, and could not withstand provocations. He said righteously: "Your Majesty, I am willing to be responsible for my words. If Lord Cen can be proved innocent this time, I am willing to untie my robes and belts." , resign and return home, please issue an order to investigate thoroughly."

Regarding the infighting in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the rest of the courtiers were mostly on the sidelines.Although Zhao Chen suspected of retaliating against Cen Zhuo, everyone was also quite curious about Cen Zhuo's life experience.Even Jiang Yiting couldn't be sure whether Cen Zhuo's background was fake, because he suddenly remembered that the first time he saw Cen Zhuo in Chuanshan Academy, she was alone at the age of 14, and she came to the mountain to study by herself, carrying books on her back. There seemed to be a lot of thoughts hidden in the young eyes.And I have been with her for many years, and I seldom hear her mention her biological mother...

"It's unreasonable, do you treat the court as your own casino?" Li Pinghong protested, and all the ministers begged the king to appease his anger.Li Pinghong was already angry because of what happened to Lan Lie a few days ago, and the timing of their impeachment was so coincidental, so he became more angry and spoke more ruthlessly.

"I think the tongue of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is really good. It's time to cut it. Anyone who doesn't like it will be impeached, and those who can't be impeached will be retaliated. I grant you the right to monitor with your eyes and ears. Do you let you vent your personal grievances every day? It doesn’t matter if Cui Moxian died unjustly before, but now she is attacking your new boss just because she is younger and more capable than you? Is she more trusted by me than you?”

"Your Majesty," Shen Xi said anxiously, "the ministers are only performing their duties, so how can you vent your personal anger? If there are violators who escaped the crime through their wrists again and again, will the censors give up pursuing it? Your Majesty, do you think that even the imperial censors who have served in public office and impeached lawless officials are retaliating against their colleagues? Your Majesty, please take back your preface."

This Shen Xi is worthy of being an eloquent person, and he can beat Li Pinghong's pain points better than Zhao Chen.The previous censors of the capital naturally included Cen Yu, including Lan Lie. These people were once Li Pinghong's humerus, and they were all recognized as law-abiding people who would rather bend than bend.

Cen Zhu knew that if the quarrel continued like this, the scene would become more and more ugly, and then he would really step down and not come to the stage.

At this time, Wang Zhongxu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly coughed, "Actually, it's very simple to verify. When I was in charge of Jiangnan Liangdao, I was lucky enough to meet Cen Zhongyu. Back then, she wore a curtain and didn't like to talk to others. Although he has a strange temperament, he is also a well-informed person. Coincidentally, there is still a copy of Cen Zhongyu's contract monogram. As long as Mr. Cen's biological mother shows up, just check the monogram."

Under the hall? Suddenly whispered.Shen Xi hurriedly said: "I think this proposal is feasible." The censors also expressed their support.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Cen Zhuo.Cen Zhu straightened up and said with a blank expression: "Your Majesty, my mother is not in good health. She has been recuperating in the south of the Yangtze River for the past few years, thanking guests behind closed doors, and living in seclusion. If you must invite her to come, I beg your majesty to give her a few more days. The old man will not suffer from the turbulence, please allow the Holy One."

"Forget it, for a period of half a month, please trouble Mrs. Cen to go to the capital! Retire!"

After going down to court, Shen Xi intentionally walked up to Cen Zhu, "I'm humbled to wait for the good news of Mrs. Cen."

Cen Zhu sneered, and said meaningfully: "Master Shen, do you know what your biggest shortcoming is?"

Shen Xirao had an interesting taste: "All ears!"

"It's just too confident!" Cen Zhu said bluntly: "I hope this officer proves? On the day I am innocent, you and Mr. Zhao can fulfill your promise and leave together!" After saying that, he walked away.

"Hey, me? When did you promise, it's obviously only Mr. Zhao..."

Zhao Chen glared at him, "What time is it, you are still in the mood to joke!" After finishing speaking, he also walked away.
