This time, Gong Yangte simply ignored the etiquette as a farewell driver and turned the car around directly to return to his mansion.
Zhuge Qi didn't stop him, he looked confused, and his heart was also inexplicably shocked.
"Even if the emperor's sword is with him and he kills Gong Yanglei in the street, this kid is a bit bold..."
"However, it seems that public security has indeed improved, which is incredible."
When the children of the major families in Youzhou learned about this, they also gathered one after another and came to Zhuge Qi's prefect's mansion to petition and denounce Liang Xiao.
Zhuge Qi suppressed the matter on the grounds of waiting for the emperor's edict.
At the same time, Beijing.
Duan Yunyi is accompanying his sister Duan Yunxiu in the West Palace Villa.
Duan Yunxiu caressed his belly gently, with a motherly look on his face.
Seeing Duan Yunxiu's belly bulging day by day, Duan Yunyi's eyes were full of tenderness.
This is the blood of the Duan family.
He and his sister's child...
Every time he thought about this, Duan Yunyi felt a little weird in his heart.
Now, she is only happy when she is with her sister.
After leaving the West Palace Villa and finding out that he was not in the capital, Duan Yunyi felt unhappy!
Fortunately, those big aristocratic families have been relatively peaceful recently.
"Brother Xiao should have arrived in Yanzhou, right? I really hope he can do some earth-shattering things in Yanzhou." Duan Yunxiu murmured.
Duan Yunyi said softly: "You have to believe in his ability."
The sisters were in a happy mood and missed the same person.
While the two sisters were laughing and talking, Feiyun, the commander of Xuanwei, came to report urgently.
"Your Majesty! Your Highness! Marquis Lanling killed Youzhou Biejia Gongyangte's beloved son Gongyang Lei in Yanzhou!"
"Huh??" The two sisters were stunned at the same time.
Kill Gongyang Lei? ?
"What's going on?" Duan Yunxiu asked anxiously.
Duan Yunyi quickly held her shoulders and comforted her: "You can take care of your baby with peace of mind. My sister will handle this big thing for you."
Duan Yunxiu agreed obediently.
After the two sisters read the official document sent by Feiyun, they said in unison: "Isn't this what you deserve?"
"However, those ministers are making trouble again. Sister, go and deal with it." Duan Yunyi pretended to be relaxed.
At the court meeting, Gong Yangyun burst into tears and accused Liang Xiao of killing Gong Yang Lei.
"What audacity! What audacity, Your Majesty! This Liang Xiao is so domineering and domineering. He dares to kill the son of a minister and an important member of the family! I pity my brother!"
Duanmu Cao and others took the opportunity to impeach Duan Yunyi and asked Duan Yunyi to dismiss Liang Xiao and investigate.
Zhuge Hui and others were equally shocked and were discussing the matter.
Duan Yunyi said coldly: "Gong Yangqing's family, there is a prerequisite that you need to understand. Is Liang Aiqing the son of a minister who is good at killing?"
Zhuge Hui then came out and said: "Your Majesty is right. How can anyone humiliate or threaten the prefect in the street? Gong Yanglei also molested the women of the people and ignored the law. As the saying goes, 'Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the people', let alone the son of a minister. ? In the opinion of the veteran, we still need to investigate and investigate Youzhou Biejia Gongyangte’s failure to educate his son. After all, his son knows the law and breaks the law, which has a bad influence."
"Prime Minister, what you said is too much!" Gong Yangyun and several ministers of the same clan became anxious.
"I think what the Prime Minister said is reasonable," Duan Yunyi said.
Yang Ling, Minister of Industry, and others came out one after another.
"I also think that what the Prime Minister said is reasonable. Marquis Lanling is holding the Emperor's Order Sword in Yanzhou. Seeing the Emperor's Order Sword is like seeing His Majesty. How can we contradict him? Gongyang Lei deserves his punishment. Your Majesty still needs to investigate Gongyang Tejiaozi. There is no way to blame.”
"You are confusing right and wrong!!" Duanmujie was angry.
Duan Yunyi's eyes flashed.
"Duanmu Qing's family, what did you say? Am I confusing right and wrong?"
"Don't you dare..." Duanmujie was frightened and kowtowed to apologize.
Duan Yunyi then sternly reprimanded him.
"Yanzhou is exhausted and villains are running rampant. The people cannot be angry without harsh punishments. This is why I gave Liang Aiqing the Emperor's Imperial Sword. With Tuoba's lesson in mind, you and other families should restrain their children. How can we let them do whatever they want? I will issue an edict to the whole country. If something similar happens again, it will be handed over to the capital to bring justice, and my parents will be implicated!"
The ministers were stunned.
The impact of the Tuoba clan's downfall was too great, and everyone in the family was in danger.
Duan Yunyi used this as an excuse to occupy the moral high ground, and they had nothing to say.
Even if Liang Xiao didn't kill Gong Yanglei, Gongyang Lei would be punished for several crimes. It would still be a felony and he would have to go to jail. If Gongyang didn't show some sincerity, he would be destined to be imprisoned for life.
Liang Xiao also used the excuse of being the son of a minister to execute him, which was barely justified!
After all, at the beginning of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, major aristocratic families asked the Great Zhou emperor to attach importance to the status of civil servants and suppress military generals.
Isn’t the governor of Yanzhou a civil servant himself?
It can only be said that Gongyang Lei has been unlucky for eight lifetimes. He kicked the iron plate and was used by Liang Xiao to scare the monkeys...
An impeachment gathering was forcibly transformed into an etiquette education by Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui and other ministers.
The officials listened to Zhuge Hui's endless explanation of etiquette and did not dare to say a word.
Duanmucao, the Minister of Rites, was even more ashamed.
Liang Xiao's matter has been suppressed.
After Gong Yangyun and others walked out of the palace, their beards trembling with anger, they returned home and summoned Duanmu Yuncheng and others to discuss the matter.
"Shuzi, you foolish king, you are going too far to bully others!!"
"Increase funding for Beihu, and when Yanzhou collapses due to famine, we can go south!!"
Now, they only regret listening to the "spies" and moving the personnel arranged in Youzhou to Jiangnan in advance.
"Then Qin Xun is a dead soldier trained by the Tuoba clan since he was a child, right? Doesn't he have a good relationship with Liang Xiao? Why did he get the information that Liang Xiao was going to Jiangnan!"
Gongyang Yun was furious.
"Perhaps it's because Liang Xiao suddenly changed his mind? Moreover, he gave us the news before the Tuoba clan fell. There is no reason to fool us." Duanmu Yuncheng was confused.
Gongyang Yun was puzzled.
In Yanzhou, in the prefect's mansion, the newly appointed chief secretary Qin Xun was chatting with Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao has arranged tasks for everyone, and he is a little more relaxed.
"Marquis Lanling dared to kill Gong Yanglei, which really shocked us. Even now, I am still a little shocked." Qin Xun sighed.
Liang Xiao said without thinking: "Killing him is not only to relieve the country's worries, but also to ask for life for the people."
Qin Xun praised: "Prime Minister Zhuge will definitely understand what Marquis Lanling did, and will be even more pleased that he has a successor."
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "Every time you talk to us in private, you always talk about Prime Minister Zhuge, which shows his status in your heart."
Qin Xun nodded and said: "Yes, Prime Minister Zhuge is my role model, but I know that I have limited talent and knowledge and cannot become a person like him, but I will have no regrets if I can see his successor."
Seeing Liang Xiao smile, Qin Xun added: "However, Marquis Lanling, if a person's past is unbearable and even sinful, how should he remedy it?"
Liang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Then serve the country. At least it won't be a loss, and you won't leave only a reputation behind you."
Qin Xun laughed dumbly and nodded.
"That's right."
While the two were chatting, Chang Shi Linxiu brought another piece of good news.
"Marquis Lanling! There is a team of horse dealers from the Western Regions asking to see you. It is said that they came after Wu Tumu recommended them. They also have many good horses on hand!"
Liang Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this.
Wu Tumu originally sold him 500 fine horses from the Western Regions.
Most of the five hundred fine horses from the Western Regions are in his hands. They are currently the best heavy war horses in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
