It is precisely because of taking refuge in Wang Zhen and getting appreciated that high-ranking officials have seats, horses have to ride, and even wives and concubines are in groups.

was assigned to the position of the imperial history of the left capital, in order to control the imperial court of the capital, in order to prevent someone from suddenly disadvantageous to Wang Zhen, which made him unable to do anything corrupt on the surface like other courtiers, but he still had money.

After the next dynasty, he stayed at home without anything, which made Wang Wenyi's energy vigorous, and when it was dark, he was accompanying a newly married concubine in the courtyard to enjoy the flowers. The long follower next to him suddenly came to report, saying that Xu Youzhen Xu had come through it.

"Please." Visiting late at night, there is naturally something important to ask, Wang Wen also waved his hand, and after asking Yahuan to take the concubine down, he got up and walked towards the hall.

In the hall, Xu Youzhen was pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, and after hearing the sound and turning around to see Wang Wenyi coming over, he hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, I really have to disturb you late at night." ”

"But what happened?" Wang Wen also pretended to be okay on the surface, but he was indeed a little vigilant in his heart.

"Lord Wang, it's like this, Sun Qing, Dong Cunde, Lin Xiangfeng, Yin Hong, the four supervising imperial historians, plus Sichuan Daoist Imperial Shi Shenyou, a total of five people, found the lower officials and asked me to impeach the crown prince Yang Chendong in the early tomorrow morning, and the lower officials don't know what to do? So I came to invite the king. Xu Youzhen, who had a humble expression, said while observing Wang Wenyi's face.

"Impeachment of Yang Chendong? What is the rationale? As soon as he heard about Yang Chendong, Wang Wen also became much more serious. As Wang Zhen's confidant, how could he not know that now the sixth young master of the Yang family is partnering with him to do business, if something really happens, it will be bad for Father Weng.

"It is said that Yang Xima sent the membership card of the Immortal Residence to the homes of officials above the third grade of the Beijing Division, which is worth thousands of taels of silver." Xu Youzhen said very cautiously.

The last time he was bought by Yang Chendong, he made a double reed, and he had the opportunity to openly impeach the sixth young master in the court, and sure enough, according to the previous plan, the matter was over. Since then, he has not only received a large amount of silver from Yang Chendong, but he has also been promoted to the next level, and has also become an upright minister in the eyes of many people. Even Yu Qian, the left attendant of the military department who took Wen Tianxiang as an example, publicly praised him more than once, saying that there should be more Xu Youzhen in the court, so as to ensure the clarity of the officials.

For this reason, when Sun Qing, Dong Cunde and others were about to impeach Yang Chendong, they naturally found Xu Youzhen, which allowed Yang Chendong to know the news for the first time and pointed the problem to Wang Wenyi.

"Is there such a thing? If so, what should be done. Hearing that it was such a reason, Wang Wen was also stunned. If it is true, then for this reason, it can really be difficult for Yang Chendong, but what he can't understand is why Xu Youzhen would reveal the matter to him in advance? The two didn't have much to do with each other before.

couldn't understand Xu Youzhen's intentions, so Wang Wen simply pretended to be stupid and pretended to be a businessman.

Seeing Wang Wenyi's businesslike face, Xu Youzhen secretly scolded in her heart that she wanted to set up a memorial arch when she was a (), but her mouth did not stop saying: "Lord Wang, I don't hide it, the lower officials have respected the prince for a long time, if there is any opportunity to serve the father-in-law, the lower official will never give up." ”

"Hehe, got it. That way, if I don't send you a message, I can do what I should do. These words let Wang Wenye know Xu Youzhen's thoughts, and he also wanted to put on Wang Zhen's line, no wonder he would come to deliver the news so late.

Although he understood what Xu Youzhen meant, Wang Wenyi's power was limited, and he didn't dare to call the shots for Wang Zhen, so he replied in this way, which means to tell Xu Youzhen that your attitude towards Weng's father, the official knows, but it is not to accept you, but it also depends on the meaning of Wang Gonggong.

Xu Youzhen is a human spirit, so she naturally heard the meaning of the words, and her face was happy at the moment, "So it will trouble Lord Wang." As he spoke, he whispered forward: "Xiaguan put a box at the door of Lord Wang's backyard, and there was a little heart inside. ”

nodded quietly, indicating that he knew, and at that moment Xu Youzhen withdrew from the main house satisfied. Then Wang Wenyi called the housekeeper and asked him to carry the box in the backyard. Soon after, he saw two thousand taels of silver neatly arranged in the box.

This amount of silver was enough to cover his fortune for several years, which made Wang Wen also happy. "Come on, change the official uniform, I'm going to see Father Weng."

Jingshi has long been curfew, but for Wang Wenyi, who is an official to the third grade, it is still extremely convenient to move around, especially since he is still Wang Zhen's father-in-law, this is already a public matter, naturally, no one dares to stop his sedan chair.

It's just that he didn't know that in the darkness, there was a pair of eyes that had been watching his every move, and it wasn't until he entered the palace that the owner of those eyes quietly left.

......

On the court of the early dynasty.

As Yingzong Zhu Qizhen walked towards the dragon chair, all the major military affairs were pressed towards him like a surging wave.

Fortunately, what was discussed this morning was all good things.

For example, the Deng Maoqi Rebellion in Fujian was basically over, Deng Maoqi was killed in the chaos, and his henchmen were killed, arrested, and fled, and it was difficult to achieve any climate.

Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department, had just finished speaking, and Wang Zuo, the secretary of the household department, said that the potatoes were fully ripe, and the next thing was about the distribution of seeds, if the emperor did not have any special requirements, he would talk to Yang Xima about the distribution of seeds.

"I don't have any other requirements, try to make the potatoes form a scale as quickly as possible, and prevent the outflow of potato seeds from happening, sir, you let the East Factory and the Iron Guards keep an eye on this matter." Yingzong remembered the reminders of the ministers before and added at the moment.

"Obey."

"The old slave obeys."

Wang Zuo and Wang Zhen agreed one by one. Yingzong nodded and said, "What else is there, let's play it together." ”

"The minister has his own music." There was a shout from the court, and then Sun Qing, Dong Cunde, Xu Youzhen and other five imperial historians came out of class and knelt on the ground.

There has never been anything good about the imperial history. The ministers saw that their eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and even Yingzong was a little displeased. These imperial histories are always afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but whenever they have something to play, basically what happens will make him unhappy. But this is still their duty, and no one else can blame anything. For this reason, he could only ask as calmly as possible, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers impeached the prince Xima Yang Chendong, before the opening of the Immortal Residence, he gave membership cards to all the families of officials above the third grade in Beijing, and the amount involved was as high as hundreds of thousands of taels." Supervising the imperial history, Sun Qing knelt on the ground and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, Yang Chendong is clearly buying people's hearts, please ask the emperor to punish him." Supervising Yu Dong Cunde said.

"Your Majesty, this is a sign before forming a party for personal gain, and the minister asks the emperor to order the immediate arrest of the criminal minister Yang Chendong, and the edict will be sent to prison to investigate this matter." Supervising the imperial history, Lin Xiang was in the limelight and said while knocking to the ground.

"Your Majesty..."Next, other imperial histories also accused Yang Chendong of not, in their mouths, it seems that this prince is already a heinous person.

Looking at the imperial history who knelt on the ground and his head was like pounding garlic, Yingzong just felt that his head was big for a while, he really couldn't understand, but he was just a loose official from the fifth grade, who wanted power but no power, and who had no position, why was he so unpopular. What else can buy people's hearts, what kind of party and private organization, can it really be impossible to create (rebel)?

Yingzong was puzzled, but the other ministers were angry.

On the surface, it was Yang Chendong who was accused of bribery, but they were the ones who accepted the bribes. It's like knocking down a bunch of people in one go. As a result, above the court, all the officials above the third grade turned their faces blue.

There was a bad temper, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and began to accuse: "When did Yang Xima send us the money?" It's just a polite gift of a membership card, but there is no amount in the membership card. ”

"Yes, there is only a card, but no amount, how can it be called a bribe?"

A group of ministers began to refute several imperial historians, which made Yingzong on the dragon chair happy. I've rarely seen the Imperial History speak out that will anger the ministers, and there are often such things happening, and only a few of the courtiers involved refute it, like today, almost more than half of the ministers oppose it, but it is very rare.

Yingzong regarded everything that happened in front of him as a bustle, but some people really didn't think so, what they thought about was why the Immortal Residence opened yesterday, and today someone went to Yang Chendong for trouble, who did they offend this time?

If it is said that it has not offended people, why are so many imperial histories listed together, it is clear that someone has made a series of connections in advance, otherwise how can there be such a momentum?

In the court, it is divided into three parties.

On the one hand, there are the imperial historians who impeached Yang Chendong, on the other hand, the ministers who were affected, and on the other hand, the courtiers who were not of enough grade and did not get involved, they watched all this happening in front of them as if they were watching the excitement.

The minister's counterattack, and the impeachment of Yu Shi also ridiculed each other, saying that they were clearly taking advantage of Yang Chendong to speak for Yang Chendong, and it was really fair to say that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law was reasonable. Until one person walked out of the class, everyone's eyes fell on him.
