At night, the residence of Mu Liu Yan in Yizhou.
Liu Fan is summoning the censor Wu Wei.
This person is a close confidant of their Liu family, and he was promoted by them with great effort.
"Meet the eldest son!"
Wu Wei said.
"Wu Wei, I don't need to hide anything anymore. We are not outsiders. I'll get straight to the point."
Liu Fan did not treat Wu Wei as an outsider, otherwise, he would not leave the matter to him.
"Young Master, if you have anything to do, just ask me. Wu Wei will do his best to do it."
Wu Wei said.
"Today, Yuan Ke sent people to arrest Hu Shounan and others. Among them were officials from Yizhou and many businessmen of our Hou Mansion. This guy did not give our Yangcheng Hou Mansion face, and acted so arrogantly. , I cannot sit idly by and ignore this, I must teach him a lesson."
"I have sent people to investigate. Yuan Ke's subordinate Pang An killed Hu Shounan without trial. This is a serious crime."
"As the censor, you will report this matter to the court tomorrow."
"I want to cut off one of Yuan Ke's arms and let him know the price of provoking our Yangchenghou Mansion."
Liu Fan said particularly angrily.
He also had business dealings with Hu Shounan, and they had close contacts.
This time Yuan Ke sent people to raid many shops and officials, many of which were his personal property. At the same time, many officials promoted by their Yangcheng Hou Mansion were also dismissed.
This made him very unhappy.
He couldn't take this breath.
However, Wu Wei's face was full of worry, and he couldn't help but said softly: "Eldest Master, as Yuan Ke is the Grand Sima, he has great power now. We in Yizhou should not be enemies with him."
"Wu Wei, are you also afraid of Yuan Ke?"
When Liu Fan heard this, he couldn't help but question him.
"My eldest son, it's not that Wu Wei is afraid of Yuan Ke. Wu Wei was promoted by the Marquis. I am willing to go through fire and water for the Marquis without any hesitation. However, because of such a dispute of temper, I provoke the Grand Sima Yuan Ke, and for us It is unwise to provoke a powerful enemy in Yizhou, please think twice, sir."
Wu Wei raised his hand to admonish.
He really thought this was impossible.
Now that the world is in chaos, princes everywhere are secretly developing their power. He is worried that this will allow Yuan Ke to use troops against Yizhou, and then Yizhou will be in disaster.
"Wu Wei, please stop inflating other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige. Yuan Ke is very powerful, but I am not a vegetarian in Yizhou."
"Yizhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if Yuan Ke has hundreds of thousands of troops, what can he do to Yizhou?"
"Others are afraid of Yuan Ke, but I, Yizhou, are not afraid of him."
Liu Fan was hot-blooded, young and frivolous. He was dissatisfied with Yuan Ke and relied on Yizhou's geographical advantage. He did not take Yuan Ke seriously and was ready to openly challenge Yuan Ke and promote the majesty of his Yizhou [Yangchenghou Mansion].
"Okay, Wu Wei, I, in the name of the young master of Yangchenghou Mansion, ask you to impeach Pang An tomorrow morning. You must take Pang An down. At the same time, you can look good to Yuan Ke and let him understand that I [Yangchenghou] The government is not someone to be trifled with."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Fan walked away.
"yes!"
Seeing this, Wu Wei had no choice but to accept the matter.
He understood that Yizhou was in danger.
........
The next day arrived in a blink of an eye.
Big man, royal palace.
Weiyang Palace!
Da Sima and Luohou Yuan Ke, who had not been in court for a long time, went to court, which also made the atmosphere in the court a little subtle.
Regarding the news that Hu Shounan and many businessmen and ministers were sacked yesterday, all the civil and military officials present were very clear about it. They were all silent, knowing that today's court would be extremely dangerous.
The emperor Liu Xie is sitting on the dragon chair, and Yuan Ke is standing in the first place on the left. He is the Grand Sima of the dynasty and the leader of the military generals.
As for Zhou Zhong, he was behind him. After all, the other party was the Taiwei.
The head of the civil service is now Yuan Wei.
He, the great master, does his duty.
In the huge palace, there were soldiers with swords on both sides.
"Something's going to happen!"
The little eunuch announced the start of the morning court.
"I have a script to start this memorial!"
Wu Wei, the censor, came out.
"speak!"
Liu Xie said.
"Wu Wei?"
Yuan Ke glanced at Wu Wei intentionally or unintentionally. He was not very familiar with this person. After all, he was a minor official.
This person took the lead in today's meeting. I'm afraid it is inseparable from what happened to Hu Shounan yesterday.
However, it is still unclear whether this petty official came out to make noises, whether he did it himself or whether there was someone behind the scenes. Now, the Han Dynasty court seems to be calm, but there is an undercurrent surging inside.
Everyone wears a false skin, making it difficult for people to see their true colors.
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Pang An, an official under Grand Sima, for killing Hu Shounan, a businessman from Chang'an, without permission from the imperial court and in the process of enforcing the law. Please investigate and punish Pang An severely."
Wu Wei gritted his teeth and said.
He understood that when he said these words, he would be greeted by death.
"What?"
"Is Wu crazy for him? Doesn't he want to live after openly impeaching Da Sima's subordinates in the court?"
"He's so confused."
"Is Yuan Ke easy to mess with?"
"ignorance."
Many court officials began to discuss quietly.
Everyone is not optimistic about Wu Wei and regards his behavior as stupidity, which is tantamount to seeking death.
"..."
Liu Xie was also in trouble.
He said in his heart, Wu Wei, why are you impeaching Yuan Ke?
Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?
Extremely hateful.
"...."
For a time, the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Yuan Ke quietly.
He said in his heart, Devil Yuan, how should you deal with Wu Wei's impeachment?
Killing, or?
"..."
Yuan Ke closed his eyes and rested his mind. Pang An's murder was not something to be afraid of. However, he was curious about who was behind this Wu Wei? He just scanned everyone in the court and found that no one had this motive.
No one has the courage.
He knew in his heart that he had to investigate Wu Wei's life background clearly, and he wanted to find out the person behind Wu Wei.
"Da Sima, in the face of Wu Yushi's impeachment, as Pang An's superior officer, how do you think you should handle it?"
Liu Xie looked at Yuan Ke and asked what he meant.
He can't be the master of this.
"Your Majesty, this matter involves my subordinates. I should avoid it. This matter should be the responsibility of Tingwei. Why don't you ask Tingwei what you want."
Yuan Ke kicked the ball out.
He is not stupid, let others handle this hot potato.
"ah--"
When Tingwei Quliang heard this, he immediately screamed in surprise.
He didn't expect this hot potato to fall on his head.
I cried secretly in my heart.
"What Da Sima said makes sense."
Upon seeing this, Liu Xie handed over the matter to Qu Liang.
"Qu Liang, you will be responsible for handling this matter."
"How do you think this should be handled?"
The emperor like him is too lazy to focus on such trivial matters.
Now, what he is concerned about is how to destroy Yuan Ke and the Runan Yuan family, so as to regain all the real power of the Han Dynasty and revive the Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I have learned about this matter. Zhang Shixin, the right eunuch of our Tingwei Mansion, was also present at the time. According to him, it was Hu Shounan who refused to arrest and injured someone, and Pang An's huge talent killed him out of desperation."
"Master Pang An is innocent of this matter."
Seeing this, Qu Liang also understood that he was riding a tiger and was in trouble, so he gritted his teeth and began to follow Zhang Shixin's confessions to cover Pang An's lies.
Only in this way can he be alone.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Shixin is a close associate of Yuan Ke. His confession cannot be accepted. It is not credible."
Wu Wei continued to commit suicide.
"Fuck!"
Yuan Ke's eyes, which had been lazy and cloudy just now, immediately became bright and clear.
He strode to Wu Wei's body, grabbed his chest with one hand, dragged him up, and held his right hand with the other.
Then he roared loudly.
"Wu, you are a traitor. You have spoken arrogantly and insulted me many times. You are so ambitious. You should be punished for your crime. I am a man who will get rid of you, a traitor."
As he spoke, he burst out with brute force and tore Wu Wei in half on the spot.
"ah--"
A scream was heard, and Wu Wei died on the spot.
Afterwards, Yuan Ke threw his body casually in the palace.
His body was stained with blood, but he didn't feel any discomfort.
"Your Majesty, I just got angry and killed this traitorous official. Please punish me and punish me."
Yuan Ke raised his hand to admit his mistake to Liu Xie.
But at this time, Liu Xie's face turned pale with fright at the scene just now.
After that, he said with a look of horror: "Da Sima, you have done your best to get rid of this traitorous official for the great man. I will give you a heavy reward in the future."
Looking at Yuan Ke's ferocity, his back felt cold, and a pool of yellowish substance emerged from his crotch.
But he was scared to death.
"This, this-"
The rest of the civil and military ministers were also frightened by Yuan Ke's ferocity.
Everyone was shivering.
"Someone, throw this guy's body down and feed it to the dogs."
"By the way, I kidnapped all Wu Wei's family members."
"Behead everyone!"
Yuan Ke began to give orders in the court.
However, no one dared to stand up and object. They were all afraid of becoming the second Wu Wei.
Many officials did not dare to breathe for fear of angering Yuan Ke.
"promise!"
A group of soldiers came in and pulled Wu Wei's body away.
Another palace maid and eunuch came in and cleaned the ground just now.
But the smell of blood still hasn't dissipated.
While the civil and military officials were frightened, someone came in from outside.
Pang An came in wearing official uniform.
"Long live your majesty!"
