"What Wang Sanqi said is wrong. What does it mean that Yin Zhongkan was the late emperor's intimate minister? Could it be that Wang Lingjun, Wang Zhongshu and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were not the late emperor's intimate minister?"

"It is good that Yin Zhongkan was born in a noble family, but whoever joins the court is not a disciple of a famous noble family. They are all ninth-level officials and have become officials. Is he, Yin Zhongkan, superior to others? Have you let the Wang Xie family go? In your eyes?"

"In addition to the Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Huan family of Qiaoguo, the Yu family of Yingchuan, the Xun family of Yingchuan, the Yuan family of Chenjun, the Xi family of Gaoping, the Chu family of Yangzhai, the Wen family of Taiyuan, and the Jiyin family Which one of the Bian family and Nanyang Fan family is not a famous noble family? Which one is not a big family whose literary style has been at its peak for hundreds or even hundreds of years?" Xu Zongwen walked up to the officials one by one and praised the noble family.

Xu Zongwen turned around and asked Wang Ya: "The Donghai Wang family from which Wang Sanqi was born is also a descendant of a large family. Emperor Taizu Wen and Empress Wenming were from the Donghai Wang family. You actually think that your background is not as good as that of Yin Zhongkan?"

Emperor Wu Sima Yan's father Sima Zhao's temple name was Taizu, and his posthumous title was Wen. Sima Zhao's wife Wang Yuanji was posthumously named Queen of Civilization. Wang Yuanji was born in the Wang family of Donghai.

"Xu Zongwen, you are going too far!" Yin Zhongkan couldn't sit still after hearing that Xu Zongwen had demoted the Yin family of Chen County to nothing!

"Yin Zhongkan has always been unrealistic and eloquent, and his suggestions to the court are pleasant to hear at first, but after careful consideration, you will realize that they are all empty and superficial words, gorgeous words, and not a single word is beneficial to the country. "Xu Zongwen tightened his loose sleeves and criticized Yin Zhongkan in public.

Yin Zhongkan glared angrily, clenched his fists, his face turned blue and red, and when he was about to retort, Xu Zongwen said something shocking again: "Yin Zhongkan not only has no strategy, no good strategy, is flashy, but also has private morals." Damn it, you have ruined the rules of my court and damaged the laws of my court!"

"Xu Xiao, you are so slanderous!"

Yin Zhongkan became angry, took three steps at a time and came to the palace. He pointed at Xu Zongwen and cursed: "Xu Xiao, you are too pushy! I, Yin, have tolerated you for a long time since I entered the Taiji Palace. You support yourself and respect yourself." , you mobilized troops south without authorization. It was not enough for you to insult the whole Yin family of Chen County first, and now you even slandered my personal ethics. If you don't give me an explanation today in front of all the ministers of the court, even if you are the auxiliary minister. , Yin Mou will at least impeach you today for falsely accusing an important official of the imperial court!"

Wang Gong stood up and wanted to persuade Xu Zongwen. Anyway, the transformation of Yin Zhongkan only required the joint signature of the auxiliary ministers, and even the Queen Mother could not object!

You must know that the emperor's jade seals are now in the hands of the auxiliary ministers. The edicts issued by the imperial court in the name of the Jin Emperor and the Queen Mother all come from the Zhongshu Province and are then handed over to the Shangshu Province for implementation. These two provinces are all under the control of the auxiliary ministers. Why bother arguing with Yin Zhongkan in the court hall?

Several indifferent censors stepped forward to accuse Xu Zongwen: "If General Zhengbei slanders Yin Shizhong without any real evidence, it is indeed unjustifiable. We will also impeach General Zhengbei for exercising power and bullying important officials of the court!"

Xu Zongwen sneered. He took out a stack of bamboo slips from his large sleeve robe in front of everyone. He presented it to the Queen Mother Chen: "I impeached the servant Yin Zhongkan for his personal moral failings. There was a lot of quarrel between Yin Zhongkan and his daughter-in-law Xiao." , such scandals have been known to everyone in Jinling County for a long time. How could he have been promoted to the post of Zhongshu all the way without someone covering him up? Yin Zhong was able to conceal his faults and cover up the affairs of the court, corrupting the rules of the court. How could such a person be so shameless? Serving in the imperial court?"

Xu Zongwen said that Yin Zhongkan had committed adultery with his daughter-in-law Xiao, which immediately caused an uproar in the court!

"In my hands are the confessions of the people of Jinling County and the Xiao family, as well as the complaints from his son Yin Jian about his dissatisfaction with his father..."

Before she finished speaking, Empress Dowager Chen Liu Ye frowned slightly. Seeing this, Hua Fuzi of Zhonghuangmen immediately walked down the imperial steps and took the complaint from Xu Zongwen.

On the day of Wang Chen's mutiny, Hua Qi, Emperor Xiaowei and Zhang Guiren entered the secret passage and were killed together. Hua Fuzi was originally guarding the exit, but when he saw that the situation was not right, he escaped through the window of Chongxun Palace, thus saving his life. .

"Everything is exactly as Xu Zhengbei said, without any difference! Yin Zhongkan, do you know your guilt?" Empress Dowager Chen glared at the frightened Yin Zhongkan at the foot of the stairs and asked.

Yin Zhongkan was ashamed and hurriedly defended: "This is a crime imposed on me by Xu Xiao. I am unjustly accused. Please look into it clearly!"

Xu Zongwen sneered, Yin Zhongkan really didn't shed tears without seeing the coffin, and then Yin Zhongkan knelt in the hall without saying a word. The Taiji Hall, which had been bustling with people just now, suddenly became silent, which was very strange!

"Empress Dowager, I have something to say!" Cha Yin, the imperial scholar, held the wine ceremony for a long time. Seeing that no one said anything, he coughed and signaled that he was going to play. Then he got up from the cushion and walked slowly to Yin Zhongkan. , bowed deeply to the Jin Emperor Sima Dezong and the Queen Mother Chen.

Although the Empress Dowager Chen did not know much about government affairs before, and the officials only recognized Xu Zongwen and four other auxiliary ministers and the ministers of Santai and Five Provinces, Che Yin was not unfamiliar to her, because the memorial to the late Emperor Xiaowei was Che Yin's car offering wine. After what was read out, Empress Dowager Chen learned about Che Yin's deeds and was very impressed.

"Please speak frankly during the car and wine ceremony." Empress Dowager Chen raised her hands in her large mourning robe. Zhonghuangmen Hua Fuzi brought a thick cushion and placed it beside Empress Dowager Chen. Empress Dowager Chen sat down and said.

"I want to impeach the Yezhetai and Yushitai!"

Che Yin tried his best to stand up straight, raised his long white beard, and said forcefully: "The country governs the world with benevolence and filial piety. Regardless of whether what Xu Zhengbei said is true or false, the minister Yin Zhongkan is an important minister of the three provinces of the imperial court, and he is here to visit. I am in charge of patrolling inside and outside the capital, including Jiankang and Yangzhou. If Yin Zhongkan's incident arouses public opinion, it is impossible for me to go unheard of, so I want to impeach Tao Fan!"

Tao Fan is wronged!

Tao Fan was a famous general in the Jin Dynasty. He was the son of Tao Kan, the former governor of Jingzhou and the Taiwei. He was the Duke of Changsha. He was nearly sixty years old and had been serving as the Guanglu Xun. He was the kind of person who took his salary and did nothing. After the death of the late emperor, the court personnel changed. He was promoted by Wang Xun, the minister of law, to the position of servant servant, but this was only for three days!

According to what Xu Zongwen said, Yin Zhongkan's adultery with his daughter-in-law Xiao was definitely not something that happened in just one day or two. He had never even heard of it!

Not to mention Yin Zhongkan committing adultery with his daughter-in-law, he was not familiar with Yin Zhongkan either!

Tao Fan looked longingly at Wang Xun, the leader of the ministers, seeking support, but Wang Xun didn't speak for a long time, which made his heart pound and he felt helpless!

After impeaching Tao Fan, Che Yin turned around and looked past the officials. The people he glanced at all bowed their heads and remained silent, for fear of being bitten by his disapproval!

"Sun Kang, the imperial censor, is in charge of correcting and impeaching hundreds of officials, being punished by ministers, prosecuting impeachment cases, and detecting lawlessness. Therefore, the words and deeds of all officials should be supervised. If Yin Zhongkan committed adultery with Xiao, It’s true, the imperial censor is seriously derelict in his duties!”

Sun En swallowed his saliva. Just now he was still laughing at Tao Fan, the old man was speechless after being scolded by Che Yin. He didn't expect that it would be his turn so soon. All of a sudden, he felt like his tongue was tied, and he couldn't even say a word. I can’t even say it out loud!

After Che Yin opened the door, officials began to discuss again whether Yin Zhongkan had really violated moral ethics and committed adultery with his daughter-in-law Xiao.

Support Xu Zongwen's proposal to file a case of adultery between Yin Zhongkan and his daughter-in-law Xiao. The three legal departments of Yushitai, Tingwei and Yezhetai will jointly investigate and deal with it. If it is true, he will be severely punished!

The opposing side pointed out that Yin Zhongkan's tongue became stiff without reading "On Moral Theory" for a day. When his father was seriously ill, he had to learn medical skills personally and study the subtleties. Because he was not able to take care of his father's one eye, he could only use one. Eyes, how could someone who values ​​filial piety so much commit adultery with his daughter-in-law?
