How come the Yin of the Shangjing Prefecture and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice don't feel the low pressure in the court? How could they not know that they would probably become cannon fodder in the emperor's anger?
Emperor Yong's accusation was too heavy for them to bear.
"Your Majesty, it was Wei Chen who deserved to die! It was Wei Chen who neglected his duties, but this matter really had nothing to do with Wei Chen! When Wei Chen knew about it, the matter had already passed, and the others had already been driven away by the Minister of Justice. After leaving, Wei Chen also reprimanded him. He even tried to find the person again. However, when Wei Chen found the person, he learned that he had already gone to Shangjing Prefecture Yin. At that time, Shangjing Prefecture Yin said that he would definitely do it. Handle this matter, so it’s not easy for the minister to continue to deal with it!" At this time, the Minister of Punishment just shouted loudly.
As a boss, he really experienced today what it means to sit at home while the pot comes from the sky.
After all, the person who threatened Li Yunlan was not him, but one of his subordinates. But he thought it would not be a big deal at the time. After all, there are many people participating in the Yunzhou Prefecture's performance every year, but the Yunzhou Prefecture is still there. Is Yunzhou as stable as Mount Tai?
So he thought it would be the same this year, and he was the same as Emperor Yong. He didn't know the actual situation in Yunzhou, which was why he misjudged the situation and didn't take it seriously.
However, although it was extremely dangerous at the moment, he tampered with the second half of the content. It sounded like he was actively dealing with the problem, but his subordinates were not doing enough.
Moreover, what he said only incidentally involved Shangjing Prefecture Yin.
The quality of Yin Shangjing was worse than that of Shangshu. At this moment, he was so frightened that he was trembling all over.
He didn't even notice what the minister said.
His mind was so messed up that he didn't even know what he should say.
In the end, Emperor Yong said to him, "So he also went to see Yin of Shangjing Prefecture."
At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice immediately said decisively, "Yes, at that time Chen Fuyin still promised to help others solve the problem. I saw that Chen Fuyin was so active, so he stopped caring about the follow-up of this matter. I originally thought that Chen Fuyin Fu Yin has probably solved the problem well, but I didn't expect that Fu Yin Chen actually solved the problem like this."
After hearing what the Minister of Punishment said, Emperor Yong just looked at Chen Fuyin coldly and said, "The Minister said that you were involved in this matter, but what he said is the truth! Is there anything else you want to say?"
Chen Fuyin only said bitterly, "Weichen has nothing to say. Everything is Weichen's fault. Weichen didn't expect that he would ask Weichen for help."
"Then how did you deal with it after you agreed to his request for help?" Emperor Yong continued to ask seriously.
Facing Emperor Yong's inquiry, Chen Fuyin could only say honestly, "My subordinates did try to send Li Yunlan back to Yunzhou. After all, my subordinates have no control over this matter."
"You can ignore it if you can't control it. What's the point of sending it back to Yunzhou? Could it be that you have colluded with the Yunzhou prefect?" Emperor Yong continued to ask angrily.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fuyin was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
"To reply to Your Majesty, this is a huge injustice! Even if you borrowed ten courages from my subordinates, I would not dare to do so. What's more, even if my subordinates want to be corrupt, the Governor of Yunzhou may not be willing to bribe his subordinates. After all, his subordinates have nothing to do with his work."
"If that's the case, then why do you do this?" Emperor Yong continued to ask.
When Chen Fuyin heard this, he immediately whispered, "I am also afraid that my second uncle will scold me. After all, my second uncle has been paying attention to the progress of Li Yunlan's matter. He knows that his subordinates are in charge of this matter. The second uncle I told my subordinates to handle this matter well, but neither the Ministry of Justice nor the Yushitai dared to take charge of this case. How dare I take charge of it. So I could only come up with such a bad idea to fool my second uncle."
After hearing Chen Fuyin's answer in the audience, everyone felt that although Chen Fuyin's answer was ridiculous, his answer could be regarded as the most honest among them. However, Emperor Yong obviously did not want to hear this person say these honest words. .
So he just said immediately, "Then it was you who locked people up in Wuhoupu and beat them like this?"
Facing Emperor Yong's inquiry, Chen Fuyin immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"Your Majesty, you are aware of this! After my subordinate failed to send the person away, my second uncle found out about it. For this, I was even beaten. After that, I was warned by the second uncle that he should not do it again. Regardless of this matter, how dare I do such stupid things again at this time? Therefore, this matter really has nothing to do with my subordinates. Your Majesty, please be clear."
"Since it's not you? Who else could have done this?" Emperor Yong could only ask again.
At this time, Chen Fuyin just wanted to protect himself with all his strength, so he immediately poured out all the inside information he knew like beans from a bamboo tube.
"Your Majesty, this matter must have something to do with the Minister of Punishment! I heard my wife say that the Minister of Punishment saw that the matter was getting serious and it was really embarrassing, so he asked his men to help him solve it. These questions. I think Mr. Li’s matter must be related to this matter.”
Seeing that Chen Fuyin had said this, Emperor Yong did not ask any more questions. He just said in a low voice, "One of you said that he didn't know about it and that the matter was committed by his subordinates. The other said that he made the mistake because of his second uncle. If So, should I arrest them?"
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Punishment did not say a word.
When Chen Fuyin heard that his second uncle was about to be arrested, he immediately said, "No, it's all my fault. Your Majesty, it was me who was confused for a moment! It's my fault!"
When the Minister of Punishment saw Chen Fuyin's repentant look, although he felt that he really should not take the blame for this matter, he still said: "Of course my subordinates also made mistakes. My mistakes were due to negligence, and even more so to improper employment of people." .”
After saying this, his eyes suddenly looked at Gao Yizhong aside.
He did not forget that the first person to handle this matter was the people from the Yushitai. If the Yushitai had not accepted the case, how could the case have been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment.
Moreover, Gao Yizhong is also a doctor at Yushitai, the highest official of their Yushitai. Why is it that when he was severely criticized, Gao Yizhong could still sit next to him with the old god there.
Thinking of this, he was unconvinced.
Therefore, he only added: "Your Majesty, how do you want to deal with me, I will accept it. But I also ask your majesty to treat me fairly. After all, Mr. Li went to more than just our Criminal Department that day. , and more than just a Shangjing Mansion, the first place they went to was the Yushitai. Isn’t the Yushitai known as the supervisory official and an outspoken existence? Why is it just like this today, the Yushitai doesn’t care about this matter. And since just now Now no official of the Yushitai has been held accountable. As the highest official of the Yushitai, Mr. Gao can still sit here instead of being questioned together. Isn't this unfair to us? "
Obviously, the Minister of Punishment wanted to drag Yushitai and Gao Yizhong to suffer with him.
At this time, Chen Fuyin immediately said, "Yes, Your Majesty, even the Yushitai dare not take care of this matter, how can we dare to take care of it!"
After hearing what these two people said, Emperor Yong could be regarded as blatantly favoring Gao Yizhong.
"Yizhong is different from you in nature. He has been ill during this period, so how could he know these things? Besides, after he knew about this, he was the first to come to me and tell me about it. If not He said this, and I’m afraid I will continue to be kept in the dark!”
"And you are not sick, and you are not involved in family matters. You clearly know about Governor Yunzhou, but no one told me about it. You even helped each other hide it. Do you still have the nerve to talk to me about fairness at this moment?"
After being retorted by Emperor Yong's words, the two people immediately stopped talking.
However, at this moment, Gao Yizhong suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think Master Chen and Master Sun are right. What happened at Yushitai is indeed my fault. So I am willing to take off this head." Wear it on your head! Just to give you justice."
After the words fell, Gao Yizhong suddenly took off the top hat on his head.
Then he stood up tremblingly, then he knelt down tremblingly, and finally he carefully placed the hat on his head in front of him.
He knelt down, his figure was like an arrogant and lonely pine that fell on the edge of the cliff, his eyes were like dead wood and wormwood, and then he just kowtowed to Emperor Yong who was sitting above him.
"Your Majesty, the minor minister has neglected his duties, cannot take on the big responsibilities, and has failed to bear the divine grace. Please also ask Your Majesty to deal with the minor minister directly."
Everyone was obviously a little stunned when they heard Gao Yizhong say this. After all, everyone could tell that Emperor Yong actually wanted to protect Gao Yizhong.
If not, he would not refute the minister and the governor.
The Sacred Heart is on his side. As long as he says some more superficial words, this matter can be easily solved by him.
When he stood up, people thought he would handle it this way. However, no one expected that his handling method would be so decisive. He actually took off the top hat on his head.
This is obviously going against Emperor Yong's wishes.
At this time, even the prince Zhao Chengyuan couldn't help but speak for his uncle, "Uncle, if you can't get this far, why do you need to take off the crown on your head?"
However, Gao Yizhong didn't pay attention to the prince's words. He just continued to kowtow and said, "It's my fault, Your Majesty. Please deal with the minister directly."
Faced with Gao Yizhong's repeated disobedience to him, Emperor Yong was obviously a little angry.
But in the end he suppressed it.
He only said coldly, "It seems that Mr. Gao's illness is not cured yet."
Then he just said to the people below, "Come here, send Master Gao down to rest!"
When they heard that Gao Yizhong was so disobeying the Sacred Heart, everyone thought that Emperor Yong would probably be angry and would even deal with him as Gao Yizhong wished. However, no one expected that. Even if Emperor Yong was angry again, all he did was to expose Gao Yizhong lightly.
This was unprecedented in Emperor Yong's dictionary.
