"The minister has his own play"

The court meeting in the past few days, starting from the crash of the nine king Fan Yushi, involved countless people and things, and the trend was as Qi Cheng expected. Today, his plan will come to an end, and even the imperial decree will come to an end. Prepared in advance!

As usual, Fan Yushi took the lead. In the past few days, he has forced the followers of the Nine Kings to retreat steadily.

Yang Yu sighed softly and hid himself among the officials. The counterattack of the Nine Kings is today!

"Report to the emperor, the case you ordered has been fully investigated, and the evidence of the nine kings' henchmen's crimes is clear! Please look into it!" Xiaoqiang stepped forward to pick up the memorial and handed it to Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng put it aside. Let's go through the motions.

The Nine Kings didn't show helplessness or anger as he thought, and even he just looked into the distance very calmly, and his eyes didn't fall on Qi Cheng!

Qi Cheng was irritated by his ignorance, and his voice became cold for a while, "Why don't you tell me!"

"My Majesty, according to the investigation, the Yang family entrusted someone from the Zhang family to buy a salt and iron official!" Originally, this line was assigned to Lin Lu, but he claimed to be sick today, asked for leave and did not come to the early court, so Fan Yushi could only speak up by himself. superior.

"Buy an official?" Qi Cheng chewed the words playfully, and glanced at Jiu Wang.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has been wronged!" Zhang Fang stepped out calmly, and before Qi Cheng could speak, he took the lead in calling out his injustice, "Your Majesty! There is still something to this matter, let me report it in detail!"

"The so-called person who bought the official position of salt and iron officials is called Qian Xuelei. He was also a Jinshi. In the 12th year of Nanxia because of a verbal dispute with Fan Yushi, he was maliciously retaliated against. He couldn't bear it, so he had to Go to be a small official in Yantie! It’s really overkill, and it’s a loss for our dynasty!” Zhang Fang said sadly: “Originally he thought that Yantie’s position was low and low, and he would not be deliberately squeezed out, but he didn’t expect his superior to do it for his family. Relatives can go through the back door and fire him directly! He lost his livelihood and his sensory field was dark. He was impoverished and suffering from serious illnesses! When he was at the end of his life, he met General Yang Yu. Someone entrusted it to me, and I asked him why and brought him to the door to seek justice, but who would have expected Yan Tiecheng to be greedy, so he said bluntly: Unless you buy it with money, you can never think about it!"

Zhang Fang knelt down on the ground, crying, looking extremely sad. "The daughter of the minister is a princess, and I abide by my duties in every word and deed. I am afraid of being misunderstood and bullied by others. In desperation, I have no choice but to report the matter to the late emperor. However, because the matter is small, the late emperor did not deal with it. I have to pay for it myself. Buy this salt and iron official! Your Majesty, your words are true, if there is any falsehood, the sky will be struck by lightning!"

Zhang Fang was heartbroken, and at the end he was hoarse, wishing he could hit the wall to show his innocence.

Qi Cheng's face was gloomy, and he realized that the Nine Kings' counterattack had begun, "There is still such a thing? Let Zhang Aiqing be saved! This matter is related to the late emperor, and I will re-examine it in the future!"

"Yes! Your Majesty is holy!" Zhang Slow got up slowly, not forgetting to act, and returned to the courtiers with a decadent appearance, with the appearance of "I can't love anymore".

Fan Yushi's face was a little blue, why did he get himself involved?It's just that Qian Xuelei seemed to have had a quarrel with him. Could it be true?

"Continue!" Qi Cheng snorted coldly, and Fan Yushi shuddered, "My Majesty, there is a piece of good land on the outskirts of Shengdu, and a fair bid was agreed upon, but the Zhang family used their power to connect up and down, and sold that land at a low price." Sold to Nine Kings!"

"Abusing power, engaging in malpractice for personal gain?" Qi Cheng looked at Jiu Wang sternly, "Can you convict Jiu Wang?"

"Back to the emperor, there is no inside story about this matter!"

Without waiting for the Nine Kings to defend, Guo Jin, Minister of Dali Temple, stepped forward with a calm expression, neither humble nor overbearing, as if he didn't see Qi Cheng's anger at all!

"The owner of the field in the outskirts of Shengdu is surnamed Sun. Although the Sun family is not considered a wealthy family, they are well-off. They can rely on this field to grow food and have no worries about food and clothing! But one day, He Zhang came to see Mr. He's son, He Maofei. After winning this piece of land, the Sun family refused to sell it, and He Maofei tried his best to win this land with all kinds of schemes, which even ruined the Sun family's family."

Guo Jin continued to narrate expressionlessly, "The Sun family filed a pleading to Dali Temple, but there is no choice. Mr. He has a high position and authority, and he has military power in his hands, let alone..." He looked at Qi Cheng, and Qi Cheng's face was also pale. At the beginning, Fan Qing asked, "What's more?"

"Please forgive me for the crime of disrespect, so that I dare to say it!"

"I absolve you of innocence! Say it!" Qi Cheng calmed down, took a deep breath, it seemed that the situation was over for today!

"What's more, the He family is known to everyone as your confidant and confidant of the emperor. If this matter is handled fairly, the minister's life will be over, but if it is not fair, the minister will be ashamed of the minister, Wusha! Right here At that time, the Nine Kings also knew about this matter. He came to the minister and gave the overall situation of the two. The Zhang family led the way and told Mr. He that the Nine Kings also liked this land. Mr. He did not dare to compete with the Nine Kings. , so he gave up this field, Jiu Wang bought the field at a low price, and then sent it back to the Sun family!"

Guo Jin looked excited, and took off the black gauze, "It's useless for me, if it wasn't for Fan Yushi being aggressive and framing a good person today, I would never dare to say this, please forgive me!"

He Zhangli walked out a few steps and knelt down on the main hall, "I'm guilty!" He didn't make any excuses and acquiesced to the matter.

With a smile on the corner of Jiu Wang's mouth, he looked at Qi Cheng provocatively, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and there was another crackling fire.

Fan Yushi was dumbfounded.

He turned his head to look at the few people who were supposed to be shoulder to shoulder together, but saw that the eyes of those people were flickering, and they all avoided him.

This is a bureau!It suddenly dawned on him that he had jumped into this game, and now there was only... He looked up at Qi Cheng with panic in his eyes.

Qi Cheng frowned, this Fan Yushi really did more than fail!

But why did the He family come out to testify?

Qi Cheng stared at He Zhangli, but he just shook his head slowly at Qi Cheng with a calm expression.

"Okay! Very good!" Qi Cheng was furious, and slapped the dragon chair, "If there is anything else, tell me!"

silence.

"Fan Yushi?"

"The minister is here." Fan Yushi wiped the sweat from his forehead. Now that he has offended the Nine Kings, even if he changes his words at this time, it may not make the Nine Kings proud. It is better to follow Qi Cheng all the way to the dark. Can save a little life!

"On the day of Yang Yan's wedding day, son of the Yang family, he privately sealed off the main roads of transportation in Shengdu, making it difficult for the people to live, and the people complained a lot!"

"So rampant and domineering?" This crime is much less serious than the previous two, Qi Cheng knew in his heart that it might not be possible this time!

"Your Majesty, I have heard about this matter!" As expected, another person stood up.

Qian Yongchen, the minister of the household department, saluted respectfully, "It's just that what I know is quite different from what Fan Yushi said. General Yang was fighting in Yunxi, and he had to travel day and night in his busy schedule to come back to attend Young Master Yang's wedding. When the common people heard about this, they were grateful for General Yang's many sacrifices for the country, and made illustrious military exploits to protect us from the hard work in the southern summer. They spontaneously organized and closed the traffic in Shengdu, just so that General Yang could go back to the mansion as soon as possible that day. I saw Young Master Yang’s marriage with my own eyes! It’s just that the people’s intentions were good, but they violated the law. General Yang Yu decided to take the matter on himself after he knew about it. Do you know General Yang's painstaking efforts?"

"The minister is very ashamed!"

Yang Yu hesitated, but still went out, sighed inwardly, after coming out, I'm afraid Qi Cheng would have doubts about him in his heart, and the trust of the monarch and his ministers would never be the same again!

"General Yang devoted himself to Nan Xia, not to mention the common people spontaneously, how can I blame him?" The veins in Qi Cheng's hand holding the dragon chair showed that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

"Okay, Fan Yushi, I ordered you to investigate the case, are you just fooling me like this?"

Qi Cheng severely reprimanded, Fan Yushi knew it well, and immediately fell on the ground to plead guilty, "I'm guilty! I shouldn't just listen to the superficial words, and didn't research and investigate deeply. I almost framed a good person. I deserve to die!"

Qi Cheng picked up the memorial presented by Fan Yushi just now, "You don't need to read this memorial! It was originally just a trivial matter of friction, but you made such a fuss about it, I order you..."

"Your Majesty." The Nine Kings stepped forward at this moment, choking their words, "Your Majesty, I also have a play!"

When Qi Cheng was interrupted, his face became even more ugly, "What does the Nine Kings want to tell me?"

The Nine Kings raised the corners of their mouths and took out the memorial from their cuffs, "My lord, Fan An and Fan Yushi are unfilial! The late emperor passed away, and the whole country mourned. During the national funeral, Fan Yushi went to brothels and restaurants many times, eating, drinking and having fun, heinous! The second major crime of disrespect! When I collided with Fan An, I wanted to take a step back. Fan An was aggressive. Not only did he look arrogant, but he also insulted the ministers. Brother, he is so disrespectful to the royal family, it can be seen that in his heart, the respect he has for the emperor is nothing more than that!"

"You, you spitting blood!" Both counts are serious crimes, so Fan Yushi naturally can't just sit and wait for death, "If you go back to the emperor, I will work hard and be careful. During the national funeral, I will stay at home and be with Jiu When the kings collided, the minister never said serious words, these were all fabricated by the nine kings to frame the minister!"

Fan Yushi wept, his voice choked up, and he vividly created the appearance of a loyal minister who was framed by others!

The Nine Kings ignored him, "Three crimes, theft! Four crimes, taking stolen goods! The specific matters, I will not explain them one by one, but they are clearly listed in the memorial. In addition, I knew that Fan An would not shed tears when he saw the coffin. It's all ready, wait for the emperor to have a look!"

Fan Yushi was addicted to gambling in the heaven and earth. He had lost all his family property and owed a large amount of usury debts. In order to pay off the debts, he got into the trap tailored for him by the Nine Kings and was caught by several real handle.

And now, it's time to reel in!

Fan Yushi knew that he was doomed when he saw the so-called physical evidence, and it was not difficult to figure out that he had been tricked from the very beginning. Lin Lu didn't dare to come because he was sick, he was an accomplice of the nine kings!

With trembling lips, he looked at Qi Cheng with the last glimmer of hope.

Qi Cheng's face was livid, and he almost couldn't help throwing the evidence at Fan An, "Fan Yushi, is this the good news you brought me?"

Perhaps because he was extremely angry, Qi Cheng laughed out loud instead. He looked around the courtiers, "Okay! That's great!"

"Retreat!"

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

Fan Yushi was still sitting slumped on the ground. He knew that he was finished, and looked at everyone without focus. Suddenly, he threw himself at the feet of the Nine Kings, "His Royal Highness, Your Highness, I was wrong! I should never, never have to be with you!" You are right! Please, let me go."

The Nine Kings looked at him condescendingly, with pity in their eyes, "If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and what you are wrong is not against me, but your own injustice!"

"General Yang, General Yang, for the sake of you and me being officials in the same dynasty, help me!" Seeing that the Nine Kings were useless, Fan Yushi turned to Yang Yu and begged.

Yang Yu was silent and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to save you, I really can't do anything!"

Fan Yushi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was very cold.
