    Wei Guogong Xu Qian made a big move as soon as he opened his mouth. He directly moved out the emperor's gold-lettered signboard, and he has always touched porcelain people.

    Many people suddenly looked stagnant.

    Shouldn’t the normal process of being impeached be to kneel down and plead guilty, or to clarify and refute one by one?When you open your mouth, the hat of "Impeaching the Duke of Wei is dissatisfaction with His Majesty" is firmly on everyone, how can they continue to speak?

    This approach not only did not dispel everyone's thoughts, but made the simmering anger in their hearts even more intense.

    What a talented, intelligent, gentle and pure man!

    As long as you think that what they have done has been made public by the child of the Xu family, secretly poked and written in the story book with crazy connotations, and reduced to characters that countless people in Beijing have talked about and scolded.For thousands of years, it is possible to leave a stigma, and they feel like a balloon full of air in their chest cavity, which is about to explode with a bang.

    An elderly man couldn't bear such humiliation, so he pointed at Xu Qian with trembling fingers.

    "You, you, it's clear that you, the Duke of Wei, deceived the emperor and your superiors. You don't know what kind of cunning tricks you used to deceive your majesty... Xu Qian! You have no way to teach your son, allowing him to wantonly insult the courtiers and despise the Daqi court, still dare to turn black and white in an attempt to continue to deceive His Majesty?"

    Hearing this, the other people who were choked up quickly followed suit: "Your Majesty is holy, how can I be deceived by you again and again?"

    In the court hall, except for a few officials who did not speak, the others almost surrounded Xu Qian and accused him one after another.

    ——Of course they dare not be dissatisfied with His Majesty. As for His Majesty's praise of Su Ying's gentleness and pure kindness, it is completely different from what they said. Of course, His Majesty was deceived and deceived by treacherous officials!This treacherous minister, who is better than Xu Qian?

    The courtiers who used such rhetoric to avoid the trap did not notice that the coldness in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor who sat at the head and said nothing was getting deeper and deeper.In a sense, their remarks are actually denying the emperor's ability.

    Being deceived, deceived, is this a disguised form to say that I am a foolish king who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong?Emperor Huiming glanced over the officials who were confronting Xu Qian, and secretly made a note in his heart.

    And Xu Qian really deserved to be Emperor Huiming's confidant for many years. At this time, he directly retorted like a roundworm in the emperor's stomach: "Everyone, we are officials in the same dynasty. I Xu Qian respects you as colleagues, but it doesn't mean that you can arrange my son at will.It is slandering the court officials, and deceiving His Majesty, I really don't know where my son has such great ability!"

    The Wei Guogong, who had been on the battlefield and had his hands stained with blood, looked around, releasing an undisguised awe-inspiring murderous aura.

    "...Or, you are actually dissatisfied with our Duke Wei's mansion, what's your opinion on Mr. Xu?"

    Under the pressure of Wei Guogong Xu Qian's aura, the people who were dazzled by anger calmed down and returned to calm.

    "Wei Guogong, you underestimate your son's ability too much." Someone walked out holding the fluorene board, and gave a sly smile, "No one in Beijing now knows that Wei Guogong's son is most anxious for justice, and it is time to announceA person who is lawless, cleans up the filth, and brings the truth to the world! "Secrets of Shangjing" is the best proof!"

    Xu Qian was confused and vaguely understood.Co-authorship is the problem of "Secrets of Shangjing"?But isn't that a book that my son asked someone to make up when he was idle?

    He vaguely saw the beginning of the story of the False Prince, and didn't read any further. After all, it always seemed weird when it involved his own family, especially when his family was set as a villain, and it was even weirder to substitute.Although he felt that it was a bit strange for his son to use this material to write a storybook, Xu Qian didn't take it to heart and let him go. Now listening to these people, why does "Secrets of Shangjing" write something shady?Are they also written into the script as role prototypes?

    Thinking of this, Xu Qian suddenly realized.

    But what followed was an unbelievable moment.

    They Wei Guogong's mansion acted as an unkind villain in the storybook, did he say anything?What happened to these people being written in?Is it true to read a storybook?

    No way, no way?Is it true that someone is going to sue in the court because it is written in the fictional script?

    ——What a narrow-minded and small-minded person this is!

    Xu Qian thought so, so he said so.

    Of course, he was very tactful in taking care of the glass heart of the ministers, but the disdain involuntarily flowed out of his eyes: "...you are all ministers of my grand qi's humerus, how dare you care about such fictitious stories?"?”

    "Ha! A fictional vernacular story?!"

    Everyone laughed angrily at his face that turned black and white.

    Someone pulled out several volumes of "Secrets of Shangjing" from their sleeves on the spot, and wanted to show the blind Wei Guogong a good look in person.

    "In this story, the name of "Embroidered Yushi" is only one letter different from mine, and the background, background, official appearance and appearance are almost the same as mine, and even the tone of speech is similar to mine, and it is only a matter of name..." Someone took the leadOpened his mouth, and the other people also rushed to catch up, and there was a clatter of flipping books, "And here, that lecherous "Fat Gong", the establishment and decoration of the house are just like ours, and the wives, concubines and children are also the same.Exactly the same..." "There is also this story, that "big head Zhang" has the same surname as mine, and the moles on his face are all in the same place..."

    Everyone looked at Xu Qian with very bad eyes.

    "——This is a fictional story? Your son is clearly referring to his first name, and he has poured dirty water on us all!"

    As the ministers spoke one after another, Xu Qian also roughly scanned the stories they pointed to: the "embroidered censor" who fought against dissidents, the "fat man" who robbed the women of the people, and the "big head" who decided the case with an empty head... oneAnother feature, all of which matched exactly with the officials in front of him.

    I have to say that my son is quite good at picking nicknames, and every name matches with him very well.Or, is the author of the script too talented?

    At such a moment, Xu Qian still has the heart to think about these things, and it is true that he is "making fun while suffering".

    He already fully understood what was going on today.

    Just looking at what was revealed in the storybook, the various evil deeds and smudges of those people, one can understand why the officials are so angry today.

    If it were him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to calm down!

    Xu Qian never imagined that his son could be so bold, and use his words to connotate 90% of the ministers in the court. Among them, there are not only those who are against Wei Guogong's mansion, but also the same faction who has always been close to the Xu family.

    But now, even the latter looked at him wrongly, as if looking at a hateful traitor with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

    Son, your father has been tricked by you.

    Xu Qian secretly smiled wryly in his heart, but his face looked like he didn't understand, he laughed again and again: "Everyone misunderstood, it's a big misunderstanding! It's just a nonsense script written by children, and it's all fictional stories.The similarities between his characters and the reality are purely coincidental, let alone throwing dirt on the princes of the court."

    Seeing him open his eyes and talking nonsense, the others raised their eyebrows in anger: "Wei Guogong, don't mess around, what your son has done is too much, and all the officials in the court are the face of Daqi. If he slanders all officials, he will insult Daqi."-"

    It was the same censor from before, holding his wat board, and was the first to charge forward: "How can such evil deeds be attributed to children playing around? Even if they are punished and sent to prison, it should be done!"

    After finishing the last word aggressively, the censor's eyes suddenly blurred, and he saw Wei Guogong Xu Qian, who was still smiling with him just now, twitched his eyebrows, strode forward to him, and then, the big fan-like hand slapped his head and covered his facedown.

    "Do you not understand human language!" Slapping the other party's forehead heavily, Xu Qian's face showed a fierce look, and he slapped him down again, "A certain family has said it, don't substitute fictional stories into reality! Let your last name be allowed."Zhang, let me be a censor, let me be a censor, and let you be ridiculed and only know how to embroider! What happened to my son who made up a embroidered censor named Zhang? What’s wrong with being similar to you? Let this dynasty have youIdiots, are you not allowed to have similar idiots in previous dynasties? Are you not allowed to have them in previous dynasties? Forbid them in my son’s fictional stories?"

    Every time he said a word, he just slapped his hands, and if he continued to slap like that, he was almost beaten into a fool.

    Compared with those generals guarding the border, Xu Qian, who is pampered in the capital, is of course not enough in force.But the court officials are basically powerless civil servants. In front of Xu Qian, who once led the army and horses in the suburbs of Beijing to fight against the anti-king, and broke into the palace to seize the palace, he is simply the younger brother among younger brothers.

    Once Xu Qian broke out, these people had to step aside.

    Under his undisguised ferocious aura, everyone who was aggressive before shrank away, allowing this man to continue to slap and beat up a dazed and pitiful certain censor.

    "These are the common surnames in the world, and there are fixed numbers of official positions in the imperial court. Is it rare to have a censor surnamed Zhang in the scriptures? The layout of the public house is similar. What's wrong with my son's reference when writing the scriptures? It just so happens that the surname Zhang is also a censor.", so similar to my son's script, can you deliberately touch porcelain?!"

    He continued to slap.

    It's like whack-a-mole, making people run away with their heads in their arms.

    "—You still slander my son for throwing dirty water! I think you are guilty of substituting the story, and pouring dirty water on him instead!"

    After all these years of being pampered, his body is not as strong as when he was young. Xu Qian, who was tired from the beating, finally stopped.

    But the others finally regained their composure, and they were filled with grief and indignation: "Lawless, lawless!"

    Before they could accuse Wei Guogong of being barbaric and violent and beating people at the court, Wei Guogong himself knelt down with a plop.

    "Your Majesty forgive me, I lost my composure." Xu Qian's eyes were red, and his voice could not express the grievance. He was the first to sue, "Your Majesty is wronged, I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for me!"

    "...my son has been wandering abroad for sixteen years. Once he is found, the whole family is like a pearl, like a treasure. If you don't ask him to make progress, but only hope that he is safe, the whole family will be satisfied."

    His words and sentences are from the heart, sincerely.

    "... This child is also obedient and filial. He is not good at reading, but he is polite and sensible. He also likes fancy clothes, good food, and good theater, which he should have enjoyed these years. He never makes trouble outside, but there are always peopleI can't get along with him. Last time, the sons of the princes looked down on him, and a group of people bullied him, and they didn't stop until Jing Zhaoyin.My son puts on the label of slandering the officials and insulting Daqi..."

    Xu Qian interrupted the others when they wanted to speak.

    He made a call without any pause, and poured down like a waterfall. Finally, he raised his head and looked around the crowd, asking with grief and indignation:

    "——My son has endured hardships outside for sixteen years, and only enjoyed two months of blessings when he came back. Is it so annoying? He is just a child who likes to read story books! Why do you gentlemen have trouble with the same child?If you have any dissatisfaction, you will come to our Duke Wei's mansion, and pour dirty water on a child like this, don't you feel bad conscience?"

    The ministers: "..."

    Good guy, this moral kidnapping is too skilled.

    But this is not over yet, Xu Qian further asked:

    "...The fictitious stories in the story book should have been laughed off, saying that my son slandered the court ministers. Are these things true and not fabricated? The folk saying goes well, don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghostsKnocking on the door, people who are in a hurry because of fictional stories, don't they have a guilty conscience?"

    As soon as he said this, the other ministers could no longer stand in place safely. Facing the unpredictable gaze of Emperor Huiming, the ministers felt a little bit in their hearts, and immediately knelt down one by one, and also shouted for grievances:Not so!"

    "Your Majesty, Wei Guogong's words are pure speculation, absolutely not!"

    Xu Qian retorted without even thinking about it: "It is also conjecture that my son slandered the ministers with his words!"

    They had nothing to say immediately, but at this moment, continuing to hold on to the slander made them feel guilty.I could only aggrievedly acquiesce that everything was their speculation, and quickly changed the tone: "No, no, I never did those things, but the people in the script are too similar to the court officials, and I am worried that the words willAs soon as this book came out, it caused misunderstandings among the people who didn't know the truth, and insulted Daqi's reputation..."

    ——This is to say that personal grievances are considered Daqi.Even if everything is indeed their speculation, it is for the sake of the reputation of Daqi, and the son of Wei Guogong who distributes those scripts everywhere, even if he did not intentionally slander the courtiers, but caused the common people to misunderstand, which really insulted Daqi's reputation!

    Why couldn't Xu Qian hear the meaning?He sneered, and was about to fight another hundred rounds with the officials. The emperor who had been silent all this time finally said, "That's all."

    There was no joy or anger in Emperor Huiming's voice. His calm eyes swept across the officials, showing a little bit of displeasure:

    "How can the story of the story be taken seriously? There has never been a sinner in our dynasty, let alone a fictional story. All officials in the court blamed Wei Guogong's son because of the story. When this matter spread, the people all over the world thought it was absurd."

    As soon as Emperor Huiming opened his mouth, he made a conclusion on this matter: the script of the story is the script of the script, don't substitute it into reality, it is even more ridiculous to break the defense because of the script of the script!

    Having said that, deep in his heart, Emperor Huiming knew whether the story was true or not, and why all the officials were jumping like this, so he just sneered secretly.

    They kept talking about Daqi's reputation. It was the officials who had been exposed who were worried about their reputation being damaged. What did Daqi's reputation have to do with them?The reputation of corrupt officials and treacherous officials has been damaged, and the people have always scolded themselves, but it will not affect the emperor who was deceived by the treacherous officials, let alone Daqi.These ministers who open their mouths and shut their mouths use the banner of Daqi to make their own eyes, are too ignorant of the sky and the earth!

    The range of courtiers involved this time was unexpected.For those confidants who, like Wei Guogong Xu Qian, had supported him since the Eastern Palace period, the emperor was quite tolerant.But for the rest of the courtiers, he didn't have that much tolerance.

    Especially the ministers who had fought with Emperor Huiming in the court for many years because of the matter of adoption, every time he remembered that he had to compromise and adopted a non-biological son, he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, feeling ashamed in his heart.

    For many years, the courtiers thought that the emperor had accepted the fact that the adoptive prince would inherit the throne. Except for a few royalists, most of the courtiers stood in line among the princes, trying to compete for the success of the dragon, but they didn't know that the emperor would see itIn his eyes, letting them fight openly and secretly, he already hated these "disloyal" ministers in his heart.

    —he's not dead yet!

    Although he hated him very much, the prince had already been adopted, and it was legal to inherit the throne in the future.It is also impossible for the emperor to punish the minister because the minister is close to the prince.After all, the prince followed the rules and had never been involved in rebellion.

    Even if he fabricates accusations and clears out a group of ministers, won't the ministers who are promoted again join the struggle for successors and stand in line among the princes?

    This is something that no emperor can avoid.It's just that in the past emperors, the ministers supported his parents and children, but the current prince has nothing to do with him, so Emperor Huiming was very dissatisfied with the prince's courtiers.

    Now, Wei Guogong's son made a fortune to make the courtiers he disliked into a mess and ruined his reputation. Emperor Huiming didn't show it on the face, but he was very happy in his heart.

    —— Disloyal ministers shall be punished!

    The emperor can forgive other sins and don't care about them, but infidelity is the greatest sin!

    Secretly sentenced some people to the "death penalty" in his heart, the emperor looked at Xu Qian with very warm eyes: "Duke Wei, get up. Today's facts are a farce, why are you guilty?"

    "Wei Guogong's son was found after being exiled for many years. He is simple in nature and outspoken in nature. How could he be a villain who maliciously compiled scripts to slander the court officials?"

    The emperor's words gave Su Ying another conclusion, emphasizing once again his "gentle, kind, pure and kind" personality.

    He is very satisfied with the current son of Wei Guogong.Not as good as Xu Mingjin, but able to make trouble for the court officials in such an unexpected way, it is a useful knife.Considering that the other party came to Mo Zhai with Chen Jiuniang's token, they seemed to have some fate.

    And those words originally came from Mozhai, and Mozhai was transferred to Su Ying by the emperor's instruction.Indistinctly, the emperor had a wonderful illusion: it seemed that he had also contributed to this matter and enjoyed the pleasure of writing a storybook to tarnish the courtiers' reputation.

    Therefore, he did not hesitate to praise Su Ying.

    In Xu Qian's heartfelt thanks, the emperor's smile became more and more cordial: "Wei Guogong is my humerus. I have always regarded you as my brother and sister. The son of Wei Guogong is my nephew. The nephews will inherit the family business in the future, and now we will run the bookstore first."How can the elders not support you if you want to temper yourself?"

    He waved his hand.

    "——I will personally write a handwritten plaque and give it to Mozhai."

    With the emperor's plaque, I am afraid that no one will dare to pick and choose "Secrets of Shangjing".Not only will they not be able to pick and choose, but I am afraid that more people will flock to them.After all, this was certified by the emperor himself.

    Even if the emperor nominally said that he supported the careers of his sons and nephews, he never said that the contents of the script were true.But this plaque is already the strongest hint.

    As expected, as soon as the emperor's plaque arrived, Mozhai was surrounded by people both inside and outside.From their point of view, the things written in "Secrets of Shangjing" must be true. This is a bookstore approved by the emperor. How could it be possible to spread rumors that have no basis or evidence?

    What's more, there is no airtight wall in the world. What happened in the court soon spread to the people. The impeachment of the officials made the world believe in the authenticity of "Secrets of Shangjing", so people in real lifeComparing with the characters in the book, every time I recognize a character, combined with the deeds written in the book, I am amazed.

    "I see!"

    "I didn't expect Master Li to be such a person!"

    "Oh, your circle is really messed up!"

    "How can such a corrupt official deserve to steal a high position?!"

    Countless voices came from countless mouths, and the turbulent public opinion turned into turbulent waves, hitting many courtiers.

    The emperor complied with the public opinion and threw the ironclad evidence in the court. Not only did he remove those ministers who had long been blacklisted in his mind, but he also won the applause of the people.

    Looking at the courtiers being dragged down, the emperor laughed.

    "...This is what the people want."

    "People's hearts are really easy to manipulate..."

    On the second floor of Zuiyun Building, in the familiar box, there is no such group of familiar playboys. Whoever let Su Ying's words almost offend all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even those who have good friends with Wei Guogong's mansion?

    Hearing bursts of cheers erupting downstairs, Su Ying was very calm, and even felt that life was a bit too boring.

    ...Is it time for some new fun?

    Just thinking about where to find new fun, I heard a high-pitched voice: "What? Even the Prince's Mansion has started to be haunted? This evil spirit is too rampant..."

    "?" Su Ying was startled for a moment.

    It seems that his great career of picking up ghosts has not yet reached the Prince's Mansion, right?

    What about the ghost story?

    Hey.

    Su Ying rolled his eyes with interest.

    "New joy, isn't it coming!"
