Yang Ming also said hello to Fang Yanqian. The official department did not have a backup plan for Wei Zheng. It was obvious that the official department did not like Wei Zheng at all.
Wei Zheng in history made his fortune in Wagangzhai and was excavated by Li Mi. He can be regarded as Wei Zheng's Bole.
When everyone mentions Wagangzhai, they will think of the peasant uprising and think that the people here are farmers.
Not Li Mi, nor Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng's grandfather served as the governor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and his father served as the county magistrate of the Northern Qi Dynasty. This family was also an official family, but after all, it was not an official in the Sui Dynasty, so it can be called a poor family.
Fang Yanqian, on the other hand, had all the ancestors of the Wei family cleaned up. After getting a general understanding, he began to prepare files for Wei Zheng, and also praised him appropriately. The general idea was that this person was talented, upright, and suitable for admonishment. minister.
Yushitai, this department is very interesting. There are very few people in it who come from aristocratic families. Even if there are, they are all very unlucky people in the family.
Because the duty of this department is to be loyal to the emperor and to report the affairs of all officials. If the person is from a good background, there is no guarantee that his position will be firm.
Yang Guang is very smart, so the people in Yushitai are all from poor families and dare to complain.
A few days later, Yang Ming received a report that Lai Hu'er had taken You Yiwei to Jinyang first.
Then Pei Shuying should make preparations and leave the capital with King Xingyang.
Yang Jin is going to meet his grandfather who is full of evil intentions.
The Royal Palace Department allocated a thousand people to escort Pei Shuying to Hedong, and then Hedong Xiao Mahahui allocated two thousand elite cavalry to send Pei Shuying and King Xingyang all the way to Jinyang, the capital of Taiyuan County.
Another son is about to go out, and Wang Tong won't have a headache next.
Since she is leaving home, Pei Shuying must not be able to let go of Yang Ming, so playing a few games of poker is also a must. She is different from others. As long as Yang Ming sleeps on her bed, she doesn't care whether she plays poker or not, or how often or how often. .
She only cares about whether Yang Ming is by her side, can hold her and talk to her. Pei Shuying is also the only one among Yang Ming's female students who will chat with you during the poker game. She does not focus on the poker itself at all.
It can be seen that her feelings for Yang Ming are completely psychological.
In early August, Pei Shuying set off and took her son away. Outside the palace, as soon as the carriage started, she kept opening the curtain and looking back at Yang Ming's figure.
There was only Yang Ming in her eyes.
There are many prisons in Daxing, including the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai, as well as the Jingzhao Prison, as well as the county prisons in Chang'an County and Wannian County.
The Prison of the Ministry of Punishment is located in the Imperial City. Different from the movies and TV shows, the prison of the Sui Dynasty is not deep underground with rows of wooden fences, but open-air, surrounded by brick buildings. A circle.
There are twelve rooms in a circle, where the prisoners are held according to their grade and crime. The small square in the middle is a place where they can relax.
Defaming the prince is not a small crime. No jailer dares to lynching Wei Zheng privately. Anyone who dares to lynching him is guilty of a small crime.
】
As soon as Du Yan took office, he told the warden that he would be punished. It would look miserable, but it would not hurt the bones.
The wardens here are all execution masters, and they have a perfect grasp of the proportion of fire.
Gradually, everyone in the Ministry of Punishment came to know that there was an awesome person in the prison who dared to point his finger at King Qin and curse him.
The news of the Punishment Department spread to other yamen in the imperial city, and other yamen spread the news to other yamen. Gradually, many people knew about it.
"What is the origin of this person? He is very courageous," Wei Yue took the initiative to find his cousin Wei Jin and asked about Wei Zheng's origin.
Wei Jin is in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and is in charge of household registration. He can check it out at a glance. Wei Jin has also read the files in the Ministry of Personnel.
"He is really a strong man!" Wei Jin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "A scholar from a poor family has such courage. It can be seen that this man is made of iron and is an upright person."
Wei Yue smiled and said: "Upright people die quickly. This is the first time that King Qin has encountered bad luck. I heard that this person directly mocked the two kings of Qi and Qin in front of many people. This person is either looking for death or He just had other plans.”
Wei Jin flipped through Wei Zheng's files again and said:
"Being from a noble family, he shouldn't be so stupid. Even though King Qin has a good reputation for benevolence and righteousness, no one in the world knows that he kills people without blinking an eye. This person was attracted by Wang Tong's plan to promote kingship and revitalize Confucianism. He advocated making a mistake in the lake, and rushed all the way to Hedong to join Wang Tong's family, which shows that he is an ambitious man."
"I heard here that King Qin plans to kill this person," Wei Yue whispered: "Do you think we should turn a blind eye or use him?"
Wei Jin frowned and said, "It's not easy to protect people from the King of Qin, isn't it? If we come in the open, we will offend the King of Qin, and the gain outweighs the loss."
"It's a rare opportunity," Wei Yue said: "Now Yuwen Shu and Lai Nv'er have gone to Hebei and Shanxi, and the canal is about to be completed. When the big thing is decided, the two kings of Qi and Qin will definitely have big troubles because of the incident in Hebei. Let's have a fight. Should we add some firewood to this situation between two tigers?"
Wei Jin pondered for a while and said: "It's a bit risky, but we still have to see what the Crown Princess and others want. If everyone thinks this person should be protected, then we will protect him."
Wei Yue nodded and said: "In the case of Hebei, King Qi's reputation has been ruined, and it is basically difficult to restore the situation. By then King Qin will be the dominant one, and we will either carry shoes for others, or wait for others to come and clean up the matter. The princess will also have to give in. After leaving the East Palace, everything will be over by then. This Wei Zheng is right about one thing. King Qin must have stood aside and watched the affairs in Hebei. He deliberately made King Qi rotten. Otherwise, King Qin's character of cherishing his wings should be forced. Stepping in to stop it, to get a reputation, but look what he's doing? He just can't sleep."
"According to you, after His Majesty returns to Beijing this time, it will be the time to settle the general accounts for Hebei?" Wei Jin said.
Wei Yoo couldn't help but said: "My brother, haven't you seen it yet? Who will win the crown prince position? It is already the time for the decisive battle. This is King Qin's best opportunity. He will definitely find a way to do it in one fell swoop. If we don't take action to defeat the King of Qi, the Crown Princess will have to take her three children to kneel down and kowtow to King Qin."
Speaking, Wei Yue smiled bitterly and said: "We only have this chance. If we can't use the chaos in Hebei to drag the King of Qin into trouble, we must quickly give up the Crown Princess and switch to the King of Qin. But at that time, the Crown Princess and her There is no telling whether the three sons can survive, and which one of our Wei family will King Qin target? It is also unpredictable, but there must be you and me among them."
"It's easier said than done to drag him down?" Wei Jin also realized the seriousness of the matter and sighed: "He just stood by and watched. What reason do you have to get involved with him?"
Wei Yue said: "Then we have to rely on Wei Zheng. You have also read Wei Zheng's confession when he was interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment. He regards the people as trivial and ignores all the people. He turns a blind eye to the evil of the King of Qi. He does not care about the people and does not love the people. He is in vain. , how can we inherit the country and the country?"
With that said, Wei Yue continued: "It can be seen that even a poor family like Wei Zheng thinks that King Qin should inherit the crown prince."
"The more you say that, the less I dare to protect this person," Wei Jin said: "This has made people scolded like this. Once we intervene and make King Qin anxious, the consequences are unpredictable. For such a big thing, We have to discuss it with the people in the clan, but they are not in Beijing right now. The Crown Princess is a female after all, and she cannot make the final decision on major matters."
Wei Yoo shook his head and sighed, crossed his arms and said: "You are really courageless. In this case, let's do this. Find a way to delay the King of Qin so that he can't kill people. When His Majesty returns to the capital, someone will definitely report it to the Yushitai. Regarding this matter, we will make arrangements based on the situation."
"This is the safest way," Wei Jin nodded and said, "Slandering the prince is a serious crime. The punishment department alone cannot convict him, nor can he kill people. Only a few people from Dali Temple and the punishment department must come back to discuss the crime together."
After saying that, Wei Jin took a sip of tea. Suddenly, his whole body was shocked and he slammed the tea cup on the table.
"Something's wrong! There's something wrong with this."
Weiyo was stunned: "What's the problem?"
Wei Jin's eyes widened and he said without blinking: "The King of Qin wants to kill someone, why not kill him outside instead of throwing him into the Ministry of Punishment Prison? What does he want?"
Wei Yo frowned and said, "Perhaps it's hard to do it in front of so many people? After all, killing him on the spot makes him look careless?"
"Fart!" Wei Jin slapped the table and stood up: "He has plotted against us. Good guy, I almost fell into his trap."
Wei Yo also stood up and said: "I don't understand, please make it clear."
Wei Jin blew his beard and glared: "A scholar opened his mouth and scolded two princes. The King of Qin did not kill anyone on the spot or detain him privately. Instead, he just threw it to the Ministry of Punishment openly. Why? Because he just wanted to use this person's mouth to do something. Defeat the King of Qi."
Wei Yoo came to his senses, his whole body felt chilly and his hair stood on end.
Wei Zheng's confession indeed scolded both the King of Qin and the King of Qi, but there are different degrees of abuse. His words of scolding Yang Jian were even more severe. He directly denounced Yang Jian as the culprit of the people, which made people and gods angry, and will definitely leave an infamy for eternity.
And he thought too simply, thinking that this person could throw shit on the faces of the two princes at the same time. This would make King Qin's reputation bad, which would be beneficial to them. But now after being reminded by his cousin Wei Jin, King Qin had evil intentions. ah.
"Is he deliberately seducing our guarantors?" Wei Yue said dumbfounded: "So that King Qi will fall out with us? Killing two birds with one stone, what a vicious plan."
Wei Jin said angrily: "He must have a backup plan waiting for us. Wei Zheng's swearing is an unforeseen emergency. He can make a decision in an instant and choose to kill someone with a borrowed knife. This person's scheming is too terrible. .”
Wei Yue sat back down with a dejected look on his face, shook his head and sighed:
"The Second Saint trained him with his own hands, and he is truly amazing. You and I have been eating salt for decades, but he is actually playing with it. It can be seen that Shang Wei's side was also arranged by others long ago. I was careless."
"I have told you a long time ago that you should not rely on women for any important matters," Wei Jin said after sitting down, "Fortunately, I saw through it in time and was almost killed by you."
"My fault, my fault," Weiyo said with a look of shame on his face.
