Chapter 117.

There are 134 large and small government offices in the capital city of Dafeng, putting aside those officials without establishment, as well as those in the military system, there are as many as 10,000 officials who eat official food alone.

Of these, only one-tenth of them could participate in the morning court, and the officials, honored nobles, and clansmen who could enter the Golden Palace to speak directly with the emperor were only a hundred or so at the end of the day.

At the time of chen will be waiting outside the noon gate of the civil and military officials, in twos and threes, gathered in one place, say some short words of parents, sheepish needle.

“His Majesty has been more and more diligent in court lately.”

“The Kyocera is just around the corner.”

“His Majesty Kyocha wasn’t that diligent last year.”

“Naturally, it’s because of the Sangpo case, ai, an eventful year. Today his majesty is going to lose his temper, you and others are less likely to be touched by anger.”

“This official is just a civil servant, the Sangpo case has nothing to do with this official, nothing to do with us.”

“Oh, and who does that have to do with?”

The crowd laughed at each other.

Who is it related to?

Of course it was related to the commander of the five guards of the capital, and of course it was related to the night watchmen who were responsible for defending the capital and the royal family.

Naturally, it also has to do with the leader of the night watchman’s yamen, Wei Yuan Wei Qingyi.

In front of the noon gate, Wei Yuan was dressed in green, standing all alone, and was out of place with the surrounding civil and military officials.

Wei Yuan is a very special person, there is no eunuch with more power than him, even if it is the emperor’s side of the eunuch, the hand holding the authority is not big.

The only difference was Wei Yuan, who was both the head of the night watchman’s yamen and also a metropolitan royal inspector of the Duzha Academy.

These two Yamen, both of which have the power to inspect the hundred officials.

Emperor Yuan Jing’s meaning is very obvious, Wei Yuan is my sword, and the sword will fall on the neck of anyone of you who doesn’t obey.

Wei Yuan was not only the sword introduced by Emperor Yuan Jing to check and balance the hundred officials, but also played the role of pulling hatred.

The civil and military officials did not dare to hate the emperor, but they could vent their emotions towards Wei Yuan.

Right now, the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple was destroyed, and the Yuanjing Emperor, who has been inert for a long time, is obviously full of anger to vent today at the court.

Wei Yuan must have borne the brunt.

The civil and military officials were happy to eat their melon.

At the beginning of the dawning hour, the thick sound of the bell echoed in the dark night sky, appearing pale and silent.

The civil and military officials entered through the slowly opening east gate, while the royal family and princes entered through the west gate.

Emperor Yuan Jing resided high in the dragon chair, his face expressionless as he looked down on the hundreds of officials, coming in through the noon gate in a neat and orderly manner, with the civil and military divisions.

More than a hundred more officials, dignitaries, and clansmen entered the Golden Palace.

After finishing the play, a minister of the Ministry of Justice stepped out and said aloud, “The night before last, some thieves broke into Sangpo and blew up the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple, which is really a shame for our Dafeng. Wei Yuan, as the leader of the night watchmen, was not good enough to guard the imperial city, I ask His Majesty to behead this bureaucrat to calm the anger of the people.”

“I second the motion!”

“I second the motion!”

Immediately, a number of professional jetsetters from the Giver jumped out and demanded that Emperor Yuan Jing chop off Wei Yuan’s dog’s head.

The attack and annihilation in the imperial court is of the same nature as buying groceries in the marketplace, usually in a big way, moving to beheading and plagiarizing.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a big deal or not, chopping off a dog’s head is the right thing to do.

If the emperor doesn’t agree, then he’ll cut the price, from beheading to exile, from exile to dismissal.

Anyway, you can’t open your mouth and say dismissal, you have to give the emperor a space to bargain. Otherwise, the emperor look, you a few little old brother do not give me the opportunity to cut the price?

Not guilty then.

Surprising the hundred officials, Emperor Yuan Jing directly dismissed the impeachment against Wei Yuan and praised Wei Yuan’s work.

This confused the hundred officials and made them cross their fingers.

“Silence!”

Emperor Yuan Jing’s personal eunuch cracked his whip, his voice shrill as he warned the hundred officials.

The matter came to an end, but the impeachment against Wei Yuan did not stop, but changed its target.

Another official from the Ministry of Justice stepped out and said, “The night watchman, Xu Qi’an, openly killed the guards at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen in defiance of imperial authority, I implore His Majesty to severely punish this thief and execute him with a full sentence.”

Wei Yuan, who was obviously old and indifferent when he was impeached, narrowed his eyes and followed out, “Your Majesty, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs instructed the guards and obstructed the night watchman from working on the case, with malicious intentions, I suspect that the Minister of Criminal Affairs, Sun Shangshu, colluded with the thieves in blowing up Sangpo, I request that Your Majesty dismiss him from his post, escort him to the Heavenly Prison, and have him interrogated by the minister.”

The royal historians of the Capitol have seconded the motion.

“A load of crap!”

“Your Majesty, Wei Yuan is slandering and his heart is punishable.”

“Your Majesty, there is a big problem in the Ministry of Justice, I second the motion to remove all the officials of the Ministry of Justice from their posts and investigate them.”

Both sides immediately began to fight a war of words, with officials from other parties occasionally interjecting and fanning the flames. Above the courtroom, the factions entered into a fierce struggle.

The Chief Minister of the dynasty, the Minister of the Six Ministries, Wei Yuan, and a few other bigwigs closed their eyes and rested their minds.

Yuan Jing Di is not angry in the slightest, see the crowd of officials quarrel almost, before signaling the big eunuch out of the voice of reprimand, so that the Golden Palace to restore silence.

“Causeway Xu Qi’an, this is the culpability in the body, do things inevitably radical, you should work together to handle the case, rather than blocking each other. If there is another time, I will severely punish.” Emperor Yuan Jing said in a deep voice.

Wei Yuan opened his eyes and flashed a surprised look.

He expected Xu Qi’an to be fine, he just didn’t expect Emperor Yuan Jing to personally speak for that little gong.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked sharply around the hundred officials and continued, “From today onwards, lift the sealing ban on the city gates, and no one in the imperial court with an official rank of six or above will be allowed to leave the capital.”

“Retreat!”

……

At the beginning of dawn, Xu Qi’an woke up on time, washed and dressed, and went to his second uncle’s house for breakfast.

In the past, when he was a small fast worker in Changle County, he had to arrive at the Yamen at the beginning of the dawning of the day, and he had to be counted, which was equivalent to clocking in and out at work.

After becoming a night watchman, because of the consideration that tongluo Xu Qi’an was a poor man who couldn’t afford to buy a house, the dawning was changed from the beginning of the dawning hour to three moments after the dawning hour.

Leaving him an hour and a half to catch up.

This is a point on which the night watchman’s office is still quite enlightened.

It’s winter, the mornings are cold, and one is inevitably sealed in warm bedding for a few more hours.

The plump and beautiful aunt was then sealed on the bed and didn’t get up. The pretty sister with the melon face was also sealed.

“You go yell at Suzume to get up, when you develop inertia as a child, it’s hard to correct it when you grow up.” Second Uncle Xu said.

Xu Qi’an suspected that he didn’t think the dinner table was lively enough, because Xu Erlang had returned to Yunlu Academy before dawning.

Said the dean had a lecture this morning, and he’d have to leave town at the beginning of the dawning hour to make it.

In this way, the only ones eating at the table were Uncle Xu Er and Daolang Xu.

Xu Qi’an immediately went to the inner courtyard and knocked on the door of Xu Lingyin’s room, and the one who opened the door was the maid who served Xu Lingyin.

The little maid said, half-expectant, half-wary, half-shy, “What does Da, Da Lang want to do?”

It’s still dark and you come knocking on the door. Could Oro be trying to do something to someone while he’s at it?

Xu Qi’an said I came to yell at Suzume to get up.

Lifting his foot into the house, he saw Xu Suoyin curled up in the thick quilt, like a pillow hidden under the quilt, tiny so one.

Xu Qi’an slapped her on the ass, waking her up.

Xu Suoyin opened her eyes in a daze, wiped her saliva, and said vaguely, “Department of cauldron ah ….”

“Get up for breakfast.”

“Oh…”

“Then get up!”

“Hullo hullo…”

“Today’s morning meal is steamed lamb, steamed bear’s paw, steamed deer’s tail, roasted flower duck, roasted chick, roasted son goose, marinated pig, marinated duck, chicken in sauce ….”

Bang bang… Xu Suoyin on the bed suddenly convulsed and stomped her limbs, her brain was still sleeping and her body couldn’t wait to go eat breakfast.

The maid served Little DouDing washing her face and brushing her teeth, Xu QiAn carried her to the front hall, Xu LingYin’s jaw resting on Xu QiAn’s shoulder, her buttocks pouting, wanting to sleep but not daring to do so for fear of missing out on the food.

“Don’t go to sleep, big brother will sing you a song.”

“Oh…”

“Little bunny boy, open the door, open it quickly, I want to come in. If you don’t open it, don’t open it; no one will open it until my husband returns.”

…..

Arriving at the front hall, Xu Lingyin was dumbfounded and looked at the buns and soybean milk doughnuts, so aggrieved that she was about to cry out.

“This is not the morning food I want, my steamed lambs, steamed bear’s paws, steamed deer’s tails, roasted flower ducks, roasted chicks, roasted son geese, marinated pigs, marinated ducks, chicken in sauce …. Where is it?”

You’ve memorized this? Xu Qi’an rolled his eyes, “Big brother lied to you.”

Xu Suoyin cried out with a “wow”, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and sent out a sonic attack towards Xu Qi’an.

….

Finish eating!

“I should have known better than to yell at her, noisy old me chest.” Uncle Xu hugged his helmet and left cursing.

“Yes, I finally realized how hard it was for Auntie, Auntie worked hard.” Xu Qi’an cursed and left.

Leaving Xu Lingyin to eat while crying under the maid’s service.

Although the lack of steamed lambs, steamed bear’s paws, steamed deer tails, roasted flower ducks, roasted chicks, roasted son geese, marinated pigs, marinated ducks, and chicken in sauce made her sad, she could eat while she was sad.

…..

Wei Yuan left the Golden Palace, reviewing the situation of today’s courtroom in his mind. Suddenly heard someone behind him shouted: “Wei Gong, wait for our family.”

Turning his head to look, it was Eunuch Liu.

Wei Yuan developed before, is also working in the palace, and Eunuch Liu friendship is very good, with a smile, “Eunuch Liu, what is the matter?”

Eunuch Liu looked left and right, touched a few sheets of rice paper from his sleeve, and stuffed it to Wei Yuan: “We transcribed it, Wei Gong can take a look at it.”

Wei Yuan understood and smiled, “Some other day, I will go to the palace to invite the eunuch to drink a few cups.”

After leaving the noon gate and boarding the carriage, Yang Yan, who was driving the car, went in the direction of the Yamen without saying a word.

Wei Yuan pulled out the rice paper and looked at it for a while, a smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.

“What is righteous father looking at?” Nangong Qianru, who was lazily leaning against the carriage and acting as a personal escort, asked curiously.

“I thought that I would be chastised by His Majesty today, but I didn’t expect to get through it smoothly.” Wei Yuan laughed.

“Smoothly pass?” Outside the carriage, Yang Yan was surprised and asked back.

On the way to the court, Wei Yuan simulated the courtroom situation in his mind, he has this habit, simulate before going to the court and review after going to the court.

In the original simulation, this visit to the court was bound to result in impeachment, and Emperor Yuan Jing’s smooth rebuke or some punishment.

Wei Yuan guessed correctly, the Sang Po case has indeed become a cause for political opponents to attack.

It’s just that he didn’t expect things to be revealed so lightly.

Nangong Qianrou frowned, “No one took the opportunity to attack righteous father?”

Wei Yuan smiled and handed over the crumpled paper.
