Looking at the impeachment materials reported by Xiao Rui, the imperial censor Wei Zheng frowned and sighed: "Let's change someone else. Feng Deyi can't move."
"Old Wei, are you also a bully and afraid of the strong?" Xiao Rui was not polite and almost pointed at Wei Zheng's nose and scolded him.
Wei Zheng was not angry, but explained patiently: "Feng Deyi has been in the court for many years, and there are many party members. I impeached him several times in the ninth year of Wude, but they were all dismissed. When Your Majesty came to the throne, I impeached him twice more, but still Similarly, His Majesty said that Feng Deyi had the merit of serving the dragon, and admonished him in a few words. Obviously, he wanted to end his life with Feng Deyi and set an example of treating loyal ministers well. "
"Loyal minister? Is this old guy considered a loyal minister? He may be loyal to the emperor, but he allows his children to cause trouble to the people. This is digging into the foundation of the imperial court. Tell me, what kind of bullshit loyal minister is this? The head of the rat has two ends, it is accurate. Traitor!" Xiao Rui yelled.
"Forget it, why don't you change someone else? Feng Deyi is very sick and will not be alive for a long time. There is no need for us to embarrass His Majesty." Although Wei Zheng is not afraid of the emperor, he also knows how to be a minister, so he is still good at persuading him.
Xiao Rui snorted coldly and grabbed the pile of materials, "Okay, you, Old Wei, know how to share your worries and protect yourself wisely. I can't ask for such a backer. Since you insist on me being the sixth-grade imperial censor, then don't Blame me on being selfless, I am also qualified to attend the court meeting, tomorrow I will go to impeachment myself."
Wei Zheng advised: "The Duke of Yi, who was granted the title of Duke of Mi, and served as the right servant of Shangshu, has always been at odds with your father's political views. If you come forward, people will say that you are avenging a public vendetta, and you can't do it."
Xiao Rui ignored the other party's kind words and walked away with a handful of evidence.
The next day at the court meeting, a young man in a yellow official robe was the first to stand up and speak. This scene was so novel that even Li Er was a little surprised. Isn't this Xiao Rui? Is this guy finally done with his bad behavior?
But listening to Xiao Rui's impeachment evidence, many people, including the emperor, gradually frowned and fell silent.
Feng Deyi did not come, but he had many party members. The Minister of Civil Affairs retorted: "Xiao Yushi, Feng Yan, the son of the prime minister, said, that is the eldest princess Huainan's consort, you impeach him for bullying men and dominating women in Yurouxiang. , aren’t you saying that there is something wrong with the eldest princess of Huainan?”
"Is there any problem with Fengyan Dao? The evidence here is conclusive. You might as well come and see for yourself?"
"It is the duty of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to look at the evidence. However, as Xiao Yushi, as the Yushi Taishi, although he has the duty to report the matter, he cannot avenge himself publicly. Everyone knows that the Duke of Song and the Duke of Mi are not on good terms. For a long time, you will impeach his son as soon as you come up..." Wang Si, the Minister of Rites, also agreed.
Many people came forward to support Feng Deyi.
Xiao Rui saw it clearly. No wonder it was said that the Fengde Yi tree had big roots and deep roots, and it was true.
Looking up at his prospective father-in-law, Emperor Li Er, Xiao Rui wanted to know what his attitude was? Is it really like what Wei Zheng said about protecting Feng Deyi?
Li Er took a deep look at Wei Zheng, and then said: "Since Yushitai impeached Feng Yandao, we should investigate and collect evidence in accordance with the law. Minister of Dali Temple, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, you are responsible for investigating this matter, and the evidence in Xiao Yushi's hands , you must implement the truth and falsehood well."
The two people stood up to receive the order, and at the same time took over the evidence materials from Xiao Rui's hand.
Xiao Rui returned to the team and winked at Old Wei, meaning you see, the emperor didn't protect him, right?
But Lao Wei smiled and said nothing, meaning that you are still too young.
Sure enough, three days passed, and the matter seemed to have fallen into the sea, with no news. Only then did Xiao Rui realize that he was too young and was beaten to death by a group of people and was prevaricated.
"Well, I originally thought that he was the eldest son of the Duke of Song and his Majesty's son-in-law. He had a different status and could do some practical things. But now it seems that he is the same as us. Our Yushitai is just eating soft bones."
"Okay, our Yushitai only has the right to hear rumors and report things, but we don't have any soldiers or soldiers. We don't even have the right to investigate and collect evidence. As people mock us, we are just a bunch of talkers."
"We can't do practical things and offend people. In order to keep our jobs, we can only talk about something insignificant, otherwise our Yushitai would have been abolished long ago."
"Old Xu, you just wait to be settled by Queen Qiu."
"Well, it doesn't matter whether I am an eighth-grade official or not. It's a pity for those people who were harmed by Feng Deyi and his son. If this continues, who will still believe in the imperial court?"
…
Xiao Rui's subordinates at Yushitai were all talking about the bad news this time.
Xiao Rui listened clearly outside the door and could truly feel that this was a group of ambitious people who had ideals but were unable to turn things around.
And the situation of being an official in the court is exactly why Xiao Rui hates being an official. Officialdom? hehe! It's just a vanity fair.
"Everyone, does anyone know where I can find this person named Feng Yandao?" Xiao Rui strode into his yamen.
Everyone was in a panic, and the seventh-grade chief registrar asked cautiously: "Sir, what do you want to do with him?"
"It's nothing. Let's talk to him and persuade him to surrender." Xiao Ruiyun said calmly.
What? ? ? Don't be kidding, people who can't do anything about it from the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple, you go and persuade...
After everyone laughed, looking at Xiao Rui's serious face, they suddenly had a bad guess. The chief clerk advised: "Sir, do you want to set up a private court? Absolutely not! Yushitai has no law enforcement power."
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Lao Xu, tell me where I can find Feng Yandao? You guard the Yamen, it has nothing to do with you."
Old Xu, the eighth-grade censor, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Sir, Feng Yandao likes to go to Zuihuafang in the West City. It is an industry he runs privately, specially for his private enjoyment and the sale of stolen goods."
Understand, in the fish and meat village, you bully men and dominate women. After you have enough fun, you will directly send these victimized women from good families to your own brothels? What a vicious trick!
Xiao Rui got the news, dressed in official robes, strode out of the censor's stage, and stared at all his subordinates.
Someone asked in a low voice: "Master Chief, Xiao Yushi is afraid that he will go to Feng Yandao privately. Should we report it to Dr. Wei?"
At this time, Old Xu, the eighth-grade censor, stamped his feet and said bitterly: "What a man who has just done his best to eliminate harm for the people. I, Old Xu, will risk my life. If any of you are willing to report it, just go. Xiao Yushi and I Stand together!"
After that, he chased after him.
When Lao Xu took the lead, several people soon blushed and chased after him with stamping feet.
The seventh-rank master was stunned for a moment, then cursed at his subordinates: "What are you looking at me for? Why don't you catch up quickly? Can Xiao Yushi beat Feng Yandao and a group of domestic slaves by himself? I'm going to report." Doctor Wei is coming."
Wei Zheng was dealing with the documents. After quietly listening to the chief clerk's report, he put down his brush and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Xiao Yushi has even beaten the son of his uncle's family. It's just a rumor, it's nothing."
"What? Dr. Wei, don't you stop it? After all, Yushitai has no law enforcement power."
Wei Zheng pondered and said, "That's right. You should catch up quickly and let your subordinates confirm Feng Yandao's guilt. This way, it will be easier for me to speak when I help Xiao Yushi get rid of his guilt in the future."
ah? Get away with it?
The chief clerk was surprised for a moment, and then realized that Doctor Wei was one of his own. He slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Yes, I understand. Don't worry, we will protect Xiao Yushi."
"It's not about protecting, it's about stopping him."
"Understood, we tried our best to stop it, but we couldn't stop it..."
Wei Zheng:......
