Chancery desk.
There are only two ministers, Wang Yun and Yang Biao.
There was a pile of memorials on the table in front of them. After flipping through it for a long time, the two couldn't help but look at each other.
Yang Biao wiped the sweat on his head and said with a smile: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter."
Wang Yun glanced outside and said to himself: "It's almost July."
Yang Biao smiled and rolled his little eyes and said, "Your Majesty, are these memorials to impeach the Yuan family?"
The memorials in front of them were almost all about the impeachment of the Yuan family and their disciples and officials. There were more than 70 memorials. Although there were no big names involved, it was enough to explain some problems.
"I'm going out." Wang Yun suddenly stood up and left the chancery.
Yang Biao looked at his back, his fat face straightened, his eyes filled with deep uneasiness, and then he said to Xiao Huangmen not far away: "Send him to the palace."
Xiao Huangmen responded and ordered the two Zhonghuangmen to pick up these memorials and prepare to send them to Jingfu Hall.
Wang Yun left the Zhuque Gate and headed south along the royal road without riding in the carriage, heading straight for the Imperial Academy.
Not far away, suddenly a group of children singing and dancing came around.
"The eunuchs are greedy, the eunuchs are bad, they are not as good as the Yuan family!"
"Yuan Jialian, Yuan Jiazheng, the Yuan family has millions of dollars!"
"When the general falls, the Yuan family will be full!"
"Four generations and three princes, without a single meritorious deed, have disciples all over the world and half the sky in the court."
Wang Yun stared at these children in confusion, reaching out to catch one, but saw them scattering playfully and running towards the alley not far away.
Those nursery rhymes were still echoing in Wang Yun's ears, and he frowned again and again, holding back and continuing to move forward.
Soon after, he came to a teahouse next to Taixue and went to the private room on the second floor.
"I have met the prince." Li Ru was wearing a long gown, with neat hair, handsome features, and an elegant temperament.
Wang Yun quickly closed the door, walked up to him quickly, took his hand and said, "Did you get it?"
Li Ru handed over a small box and said in the same low voice: "Xiaguan spent a lot of money to buy it from the Huangmen North Temple Prison. It has Yuan Shao's personal confession. He confessed that the Yuan family was involved in the Yellow Turban chaos everywhere. Bandits all collude. Some bandits hand over the precious things they robbed to the Yuan family in exchange for money and food. Some bandits trade with each other to earn military honors and eliminate dissidents. Some conspire with the Yuan family to carve up a land..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yun couldn't wait any longer. He opened the box and took out a few pieces of paper. The first one was from Yuan Shao. He read it quickly and then looked at the next few. There were Yuan Yu, Lin Jun, and Yuan Shao. Chunyu Qiong, one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, and several close associates of the Yuan family also testified.
Wang Yun's eyes burned with anger and resentment. He put it back fiercely, put the box under his arm, and said to Li Ru: "You go back to Taixue to hide for a while, and I will think of a solution."
Li Ru raised his hand and bowed, saying, "To eliminate the traitors in the country, it all depends on the prince."
Wang Yun didn't say much, and left in a hurry with the box.
At this time, a gap opened in the second-floor window opposite them.
Zuo Li stood in front, with a military commander next to him, and behind him were a group of plainclothes guards, more than fifty people in total.
When the military commander saw Wang Yun coming out, he said to Zuo Li, "My lord, the prince has come out."
Zuo Li tilted his head and saw Wang Yun's back walking quickly as he came out of the teahouse.
Zuo Li looked bored and weird.
Not long ago, he found someone reaching into the Huangmen North Temple Prison to inquire about Yuan Shao. He thought someone was going to rescue Yuan Shao, so he planned to take advantage of the opportunity to catch a big fish, so he forged these confessions, but he did not expect that the fish he caught It was actually Wang Yun.
"My lord, what should I do?" the military commander asked.
The one caught out was Wang Yun, and this was not something they could handle without permission. Although the contents of those confessions were largely true, there was no actual evidence.
Zuo Li was tired of this matter and said, "I will go into the palace to see His Majesty. You continue to stare."
After saying that, his expression suddenly became sinister, he stared at the group of people he brought out, and said coldly: "The Yuan family has taken care of it for me. If another person escapes from Dongdu, you should calculate the number of people in the family in advance. They bought the coffin!”
The military marquis and all the guards trembled and said: "Yes!"
Zuo Li said the next sentence, then turned around and left to enter the palace.
The current situation is getting more and more tense, and there is no room for his carelessness.
Wang Yun left the imperial street, forced himself to calm down, and walked quickly towards the palace. Not far from the Zhuque Gate, he saw Dong Zhuo getting off the carriage and preparing to enter the palace.
Wang Yun suddenly stopped and said to himself in sudden shock: "This is from the Huangmen North Temple Prison. His Majesty must have known about it for a long time. He just had some scruples, so he couldn't hold back."
After Wang Yun figured this out, the impulse in his heart slowly dissipated and he calmed down. He watched Dong Zhuo walk into the palace and thought about countermeasures.
"Dong Zhuo?"
Wang Yun suddenly raised his head, a flash of ecstasy on his face, and immediately strode after him, shouting: "Taiwei, Taiwei! Dong Gong! Dong Gong!"
Dong Zhuo was frightened when he entered the palace this time. He suspected it was the Hongmen Banquet. When he heard someone suddenly shouting, he was startled. When he turned around and saw that it was Wang Yun, he quickly raised his hand and said politely: "Your Majesty."
Wang Yun ran after him panting, and after calming down a little, he walked side by side with Dong Zhuo, and said with a rare smile: "Dong Gong is the emperor who entered the palace?"
Dong Zhuo was tall, nearly a head taller than Wang Yun, but he bowed slightly and said humbly, "Your Majesty summoned me, but I don't know why."
Wang Yun held the box between his arms and saw no one nearby, so he said calmly: "Dong Gong, I'm afraid it's because of the Yuan family's affairs. I heard that the Yuan family was behind Zhang Shijun's disobedience to the imperial edict and the Yanzhou incident. manipulate."
Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly changed, his face was horrified, and he said: "Is this really true?"
Wang Yun turned a blind eye to his poor acting skills and said: "It's probably true. Mr. Dong, you have a close relationship with the Yuan family. If your majesty asks, how should Mr. Dong answer?"
Dong Zhuo was panic-stricken and said anxiously: "Zhuo is loyal to Your Majesty. Although the Yuan family and Zhuo have the favor of supporting each other, Zhuo and the Yuan family are not actually close. Zhuo has no knowledge of the Yuan family. If Your Majesty wants to ask questions, please The prince can tell one or two things for you."
Wang Yun looked at him calmly and said: "Dong Gong is a Taiwei and holds a high position. I don't know, what do you think?"
Dong Zhuo made a sound, stopped, raised his hand and said: "Oh, please give me some advice from the prince."
Wang Yun sneered in his heart, everyone in the government and the public didn't know that Dong Zhuo was a tiger and a wolf. Who would believe this humility?
Wang Yun pretended to think, took out the box from his armpit, pulled out a few pieces of paper, handed it to Dong Zhuo, and said, "Mr. Dong, please take a look."
Dong Zhuo put down his hand and took it over with confusion on his face. Immediately, the hand holding several pieces of paper began to tremble, his eyes widened with a look of astonishment, and he said: "This, this, this, prince..."
Wang Yun said solemnly: "Someone just complained to me. As a prince, Mr. Dong, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
