Wang Yun's eyes opened angrily, his chest heaved with anger, and he couldn't say a word.
Although he recorded the minister's affairs, his real power was limited and he did not have enough prestige to suppress the whole court and keep his word.
Seeing this, Zhong Yao raised his hand and earnestly advised: "My lord, it is not because of the selfish motives of the subordinates. Since the day your majesty succeeded to the throne, killings have started suddenly and turmoil has continued. The government and the public are panicked and people are uneasy. They are rushing to flee Luoyang. No one dares to enter the capital anymore. If the Yuan family is implicated in countless cases, how should the world's scholars view the court and your majesty? The court is already weak, how can it withstand such a torment? "
Wang Yun stared at him with an indifferent expression and stern eyes, and said: "Then you know, if you don't kill a snake, you will be eaten! The Yuan family's power and reputation are so great that only Wang Mang can compare to it! Once he stands up, the world will shake, and it will definitely shake. I have a strong foundation, you must think clearly about it!"
Seeing Wang Yun comparing the Yuan family to Wang Mang, Zhong Yao sighed in his heart, this prince had made up his mind.
Zhong Yao couldn't move His Majesty out of the palace, so his expression became more serious and firm, and he said: "Your Majesty, liquidating the Yuan family at this time will shake up the country's foundation. Please consider it carefully, Your Majesty!"
Wang Yun's plain facial features became extremely cold, his eyes were ruthless, and he said, "What if I don't agree to you?"
Zhong Yao really didn't want to confront Wang Yun. After all, Wang Yun was a prince, and he would have to make a living under him in the future. But when big things were about to happen, Zhong Yao couldn't allow him to back down. He said with a solemn expression: "I don't mean to have an affair with the prince." Being antagonistic is related to the safety of the country, so please allow the lower officials to be arrogant. According to the 'new system', the Tingwei Mansion is not affiliated with the Taige, and the lower officials are Tingwei. All decisions are made by the lower officials, and the princes are not allowed to interfere!"
Wang Yun stood up, walked to Zhong Yao, looked into his eyes without any expression, and said, "What if I still don't agree?"
Zhong Yao looked serious and resolute. He raised his hand in front of his chest and said, "I can only ask the prince to leave the house."
Wang Yun's eyes twitched fiercely, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes as cold as ice, suppressing the anger that surged up in his chest.
Zhong Yao didn't want to go to this point with Wang Yun, but he had no retreat and bowed: "Your Majesty, please."
Wang Yun's face was straightened, even trembling slightly, and the anger and murderous intent in his eyes could not be concealed.
Zhong Yao felt it. Although he was not afraid, he was also worried.
If Wang Yun insists, he can only drive people away by force, which would be a real break-up.
When Tingwei drove Lu Shangshu out of the palace, there must be an uproar in the government and the public. Zhong Yao could no longer stay in Luoyang City.
'Let's settle the matter at hand first. Zhong Yao looked as usual and was ready to pack up and return home.
Wang Yun was extremely angry, but at the same time he was very calm and could clearly see the situation in front of him.
He had no way to force Zhong Yao to obey his orders. Regulation was on the one hand, and he did not have enough prestige and power on the other.
He is not He Jin, he holds great power and has a lot of people under his command. Not to mention Yuan Wei, whose prestige is as high as a mountain, and no one can object to his words once he speaks.
Wang Yun also cannot be driven out by Zhong Yao, otherwise he will have no shame in continuing to stay in the court.
In the empty lobby, the two of them were almost touching each other.
The atmosphere was as ice-like and there was a silent confrontation.
Quiet, you can hear the needle drop!
"Tingwei..."
At this time, a clerk came in hurriedly. Seeing this situation, he suddenly stopped and looked at the two people with strange eyes.
Zhong Yao suddenly woke up, took a step back, raised his hand and said: "I ask the prince to supervise the trial."
Wang Yun was so angry that he couldn't express his anger. He watched Zhong Yao slowly become ruthless with a gloomy face, turned around and sat aside.
Zhong Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wang Yun did not force him to break up. He quickly turned to the officer and said, "Bring him to trial immediately."
The clerk came in, still wondering about the scene just now, and said: "Tingwei, who are you trying?"
There were too many people arrested. There were more than 30 adult men of the Yuan family, plus gang members, servants, and witnesses. The hall could not accommodate them at all.
Zhong Yao glanced at Wang Yun and thought: "Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji, and Wang Kuang."
"Yes." The clerk responded and walked out quickly.
Zhong Yao glanced at Wang Yun again, sat back in his seat, and looked down at the lobby.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, many subordinate staff came in, placed various tools, and then lined up in two rows.
Wang Yun sat aside, the anger in his chest was stagnant, and he was still thinking about how to catch all the members of the Yuan family and kill them completely without leaving any future troubles.
Because of Wang Yun's arrival, Zhong Yao decided to close the case more quickly and not leave Wang Yun a chance.
Not long after, Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji, and Wang Kuang were brought up.
Yuan Ji was wearing a prison uniform stained with blood, and Wang Kuang had a bumpy ride, his face was sallow and his muscles were thin, and both of them were shackled.
Yuan Wei's hair was gray and he could no longer walk. The jailer helped him in.
Wang Yun looked at the three of them without any sympathy, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Zhong Yao looked majestic. When the three of them knelt down, he slapped the hall in shock and shouted: "Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji, Wang Kuang, do you admit your guilt?!"
Wang Yun turned to Zhong Yao with an indifferent expression.
Are there any cases that are tried like this?
Yuan Wei was indifferent and looked at the ground indifferently.
Yuan Ji, with his hair disheveled, sneered and said, "There's no need to blame someone if you want to!"
Zhong Yao said in a deep voice: "The Yuan family colluded with the bandits and plotted evil. The evidence is conclusive. Do you want to quibble?"
The corners of Yuan Ji's mouth moved but he said nothing.
The Yuan family was raided and so much evidence was exposed that it was useless to argue.
Wang Kuang raised his head and said, "Tingwei, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
When Zhong Yao saw that the Yuan family was silent, he looked at him and said, "Wang Kuang is disobedient and disrespectful. He leads his troops to resist arrest. He is corrupt and illegal. He is colluding with the Yuan family. The evidence is conclusive. How can he be so talkative!"
Wang Kuang straightened up, with a stern look on his face, and said: "What evidence is there of corruption and illegality, and collusion with the Yuan family? The money in Runan was all donated by the gentry for the purpose of suppressing bandits. When did it become my corruption? With The Yuan family is in trouble, what is the connection between me and the Yuan family?"
As Wang Kuang spoke, he became more confident and said: "The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are famous all over the world, and scholars all compete to pay for it. I am close to the Yuan family because I admire their reputation. Have I ever done anything illegal?"
Immediately, his eyes were bright and he said louder: "It is disrespectful to disobey orders and lead troops to resist arrest... What order did I resist? Then Cao Cao led his troops into Runan. Whose order was he following? Is there any purpose? I am for Runan The prefect should guard the city and bring peace to the people, so where is his fault?"
"Treacherous!" Wang Yun blurted out, looking at Wang Kuang with cold eyes like swords. Even though the facts are right in front of you, you are still sharp-tongued and sophistical!
'Be punished! '
Wang Yun's eyes twitched slightly, and he became more and more determined to kill the Yuan family party.
Zhong Yao glanced at Wang Yun out of the corner of his eye and continued: "The county magistrate, the lieutenant, etc. have all confessed. Do you still refuse to plead guilty?"
Wang Kuang ignored Wang Yun, straightened his back, and said righteously: "It's just blaming the superiors to reduce the blame. I have no evidence, so I ask the imperial officer to make a clear decision."
Zhong Yao had no time to waste with him, so he slapped him in shock and yelled: "The evidence is solid, how can I allow you to make excuses! This case will be judged immediately, and Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji and others will be executed immediately! Party leader Wang Kuang and others , the decision is made! It will be executed tomorrow!"
Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji had already expected it. Although they changed their minds, they did not argue. They knew that love was in vain.
Wang Kuang, on the other hand, was horrified. He struggled to stand up and said angrily: "Zhong Yao, you are violating the law! What kind of sentence are you talking about? It is not in line with the laws of the Han Dynasty. I want to see your majesty!"
As soon as Zhong Yao waved his hand, subordinate officials rushed over and dragged the three people away.
When Wang Yun saw this, he stood up and walked out expressionlessly.
Zhong Yao quickly walked around the table, chased after him, and said, "Your Majesty, the matter is over. Why don't we go to the Chancellor together to finalize the case and send the verdict to the thirteen states to calm people's hearts?"
Wang Yun ignored him and left.
Zhong Yao looked at his back and felt uneasy. He hurriedly gave instructions to his men and quickly left the house and entered the palace.
He wanted to discuss countermeasures with Xun You, and he could not allow Wang Yun to expand the matter to the point where it could not be ended.
Wang Yun left Tingwei's mansion and got into the carriage. Then he closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth, and cursed in a low voice.
He was full of anger and had nowhere to vent it!
Zhong Yao almost broke up with him and forced him to retreat. This was a great shame and humiliation for him as the 'prime minister'!
The coachman knew his master and did not dare to say anything. The carriage started slowly.
I don't know how long it took before Wang Yun in the carriage opened his eyes and took a long breath. The ferocious look on his face still couldn't dissipate.
"Raja! Maharaja!"
Suddenly, a call came from beside the carriage.
"Stop!" Wang Yun immediately shouted forward, then opened the curtains and saw Li Ru chasing his carriage.
When Li Ru saw the carriage stopped, he quickly approached, glanced around, and whispered: "Prince, four of them have been captured."
"No one knows, right? Where is he being held?" Wang Yun sounded a little anxious.
Li Ru said: "Prince, don't worry, he is locked up in the Imperial Academy and no one knows about it."
Wang Yun's expression became calm, his eyes were thoughtful, and he said after a moment: "The Tingwei Mansion has sentenced Yuan Wei and others, and the case has not been concluded yet. You must get the confession as soon as possible. I will force Tingwei to retrial!"
Li Ru was shocked. He didn't expect things to change so quickly. After thinking for a moment, he leaned closer and whispered: "Your Majesty, Zhong Tingwei may not dare to handle such a big case. Could it be that the palace..."
Wang Yun looked at the swaying curtain in front of him, his unwillingness written on his face, and said: "Whether it is His Majesty's intention or not, the Yuan family case cannot be such an anticlimactic end. I will go to Taixue with you!"
Seeing Wang Yun's determination, Li Ru said, "Okay."
Inside Jingfu Hall.
Liu Bian has improved a lot, but his face is a little pale and he coughs occasionally.
He reviewed the memorials one after another, and Wang Yun's opinions were included in each of these memorials. Just a quick glance at them saved Liu Bian a lot of energy.
"Wang Qing's family is indeed capable." Liu Bian said with a smile when he saw that the plate in front of him was about to bottom out.
Pan Yin, who was not far in front of him, said nothing, but he was thinking about what to do at the Shangshutai.
There were supposed to be five people, but as a result, Situ Dinggong, Sikong Liu Hong, Taiwei Dong Zhuo, and Taizhong doctor Yang Biao all took leave of absence for various reasons, leaving only one Wang Yun.
As a close minister of Liu Bian, Pan Yin had a clear intuition that Ding Gong and Liu Hong were about to resign, but Dong Zhuo and Yang Biao couldn't tell clearly.
Zuo Li quietly stepped in and saluted: "Your Majesty, Zheng Tai and others have been arrested."
Zheng Tai, also known as Zheng Tai.
After Liu Bian finished approving the last item, he picked up the hot tea and took a sip. He looked at him calmly and said, "Who caught him?"
Zuo Li said: "He is the northern captain, and he is imprisoned in Taixue." With Wang Yun's list, Zuo Li had already sent people to keep an eye on those people. As soon as someone was caught, Zuo Li knew it clearly. .
Liu Bian sighed in surprise and nodded: "Wang Qing's family is still capable."
Liu Bian accepted Wang Yun's five assistant ministers to punish Cao, but Wang Yun quietly used the northern captain. If he hadn't made arrangements in advance, he would have been able to hide it from Liu Bian.
Zuo Li bowed, but remembered that Liu Bian had said that Wang Yun was "short-sighted" before.
Liu Bian held the tea cup with both hands, looked out the door, and said, "Is Ting Wei's Mansion broken?"
Pan Yin said: "Yes. The prince was also there at the time. It is said that he had a quarrel with Zhong Tingwei before."
Liu Bian didn't care about this and said, "Then the case is closed. Zhong Yao did a good job."
With that said, he stood up, stretched, and said with a smile: "Now, it's time for me to finish the ceremony and tell Wang Yun to enter the palace."
"Yes, I will pass on the message immediately," Pan Yin said.
Liu Bian moved his body, and then asked Zuo Li, "Have you found the place I asked you to find?"
Zuo Li said quickly: "Your Majesty, the villain has been found. It is a hundred miles east of Luoyang and not east of the river. It is an open and secluded place."
Liu Bian hummed and said, "Make a map of the survey."
"Yes." Zuo Li said.
Liu Bian felt comfortable all over. He looked at the getting late outside and said, "Let's go to Fanglin Garden."
Fanglin Garden is the Royal Garden.
Zuo Li led a group of people to guard Liu Bian in front and behind him.
Liu Bian was thinking as he walked.
The Yuan family case was settled and the court was basically stable. It was time to start a series of his plans.
However, the Han Dynasty was riddled with holes and leaks, and strong winds and heavy rains continued. What needed to be done was complicated and difficult to understand.
Liu Bian thought a lot for a while and arrived at Fanglin Garden without knowing it.
He wandered aimlessly, slowly gathering and sorting out the various thoughts in his mind.
"Paperers can't do it..."
I don't know how long it took, but Liu Bian suddenly looked up at the sky and sighed unconsciously.
Zuo Li behind him was startled when he heard this, and he didn't quite understand.
"Your Majesty, the prince has arrived." A man from Zhonghuangmen approached and whispered.
Liu Bian rubbed his face, found a small pavilion to sit down, and said, "Let him come in."
It didn't take long for Wang Yun to arrive. He had average facial features, was not tall or big, was unsociable and taciturn, and looked like an honest man.
When Wang Yun came closer, he saw that Liu Bian's face was still a little pale, and he was obviously recovering from his illness. He felt less vigilant and raised his hand in greeting. "I wish to see your Majesty."
Liu Bian looked at him, smiled and said, "Sit down at Qing's house."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Yun withdrew his hand and knelt down opposite Liu Bian. Bow, lower your head, lower your eyes.
Liu Bian did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "The Qing family believes that the Yuan family and their party members should be eradicated?"
Wang Yun immediately raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Yuan Party is too big. If we don't get rid of it today, it will be a disaster in the future!"
Seeing Wang Yun, who was usually silent, showing off his skills, Liu Bian said: "Continue talking."
Wang Yun raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Yuan family has ulterior motives. It's not just in one day. Only the Yuan family knows how much they did and how many people participated. The members of the Yuan family are different from the eunuchs. The Yuan family will be eliminated immediately. They are worried and If you don’t take the opportunity to kill them all today, you will definitely bring trouble to the imperial court in the future, and even collude with gangsters to cause chaos, shaking the foundation of our great Han Dynasty!"
Liu Bian looked at Wang Yun, his expression unmoving, and said slowly: "What the Qing family said...makes sense."
What Wang Yun said does make sense, and this is how it developed in history.
If Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were not defeated by Cao Cao, it would be almost logical for the Yuan family to establish the country on behalf of the Han Dynasty.
Seeing that Liu Bian agreed, Wang Yun fell to the ground and said in a deep voice: "I ask your Majesty to issue an edict. I am willing to be the vanguard and kill all the bandits for your Majesty!"
Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, this man was really murderous.
Speaking of which, it seems that people at this time were very murderous and would kill their families and clans without any hesitation.
Liu Bian picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said: "Wang Qing, since I came to the throne, there have been palace coups, killings, and shocking cases one after another. There is no end to it. It is death, escape, and hiding. Just wait and see... Luoyang City is almost empty."
"I'm going to be alone."
