He directly reported Ding Rong's corruption and fraud. When the latter heard what he said, he was shocked on the spot and hurriedly came out of the queue and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I have always been self-denial and diligent, how dare I take bribes and pervert the law? Liu Changqing is really a slanderer!"
The two of them had a disagreement, and Xiao Yuan knew it very well, so he immediately asked: "Master Liu said that Ding Rong was corrupt, is there any conclusive evidence?"
"This..." Liu Changqing hesitated for a moment, but then immediately added: "I am not a member of the imperial censor's office, so I cannot collect evidence of Ding Rong's corruption. However, there is one thing that I hope your Majesty will investigate clearly."
"Speak." Xiao Yuan spoke concisely and to the point.
Liu Changqing said: "I heard that Lord Ding already has nine wives and concubines, and a few days ago, he took in a tenth concubine, and his mansion has been expanded many times."
After saying that, he also looked at Ding Rong: "I dare to ask Lord Ding, with your salary, how can you build such a luxurious mansion, how can you afford so many concubines, and how can you maintain so many servants."
"You!" Ding Rong was very angry and immediately defended: "Your Majesty has made it clear that my second son has been doing business abroad to subsidize the family. Therefore, the family has more than enough money. Regarding this matter, Mr. Liu is really making trouble out of nothing!"
"Hmph!" Liu Changqing sneered and said, "Strong words! Does Mr. Ding have a clear conscience? As an official of the imperial court, how can he take a concubine like this?"
"Then, that's a consensual agreement between me and my concubine Xina. They truly love each other. What does it have to do with you!" Ding Rong was extremely angry.
Liu Changqing mocked unceremoniously: "Really love each other? Thank you for saying so! I think you are taking advantage of your official position to rob civilian girls!"
"You, you, you!" Ding Rong almost stopped breathing and continued to argue: "Which law in our country stipulates that officials are not allowed to take concubines, and which law stipulates that no one is allowed to decorate their homes!"
After saying that, he hurriedly faced Xiao Yuan, "Your Majesty! Liu Changqing made something out of nothing and slandered others! He is really slandering me, and you still ask your Majesty to make the decision for me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately knelt down, looking sad.
"Humph! You treacherous villain!" Liu Changqing sneered again.
Xiao Yuan frowned, this kind of thing was not necessary at all, but Liu Changqing just moved to the court.
He suddenly felt unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Master Liu has said so much without any conclusive evidence. In this case, you should not make irresponsible remarks about the ministers of the DPRK."
"This..." Obviously, Liu Changqing could not really prove that Ding Rong was corrupt.
When Ding Rong saw this, he immediately seized the opportunity to fight back and said immediately: "Your Majesty, Liu Changqing has always been at odds with the ministers. He always accuses the ministers of corruption. He even acts like a sycophant when he opens his mouth and acts like a sycophant when he doesn't. He is a loyal and loyal minister of the great king. He humiliated me in this way, and I feel aggrieved. Your Majesty..."
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan was so annoyed that he glared at Liu Changqing displeasedly, "How can I, the minister of the court, call him a treacherous person at will? In the court, the matter should be discussed. Is there anything inappropriate in Mr. Liu's words?"
"Yes, I am aware of my guilt." Liu Changqing could only lower his body.
"Retreat!" Xiao Yuan seemed to be in a bad mood, and as soon as he finished speaking, he left the king's chair.
"Best regards, Your Majesty——" People saluted quickly.
After he left, the ministers naturally began to leave the palace in twos and threes.
On the way, Ding Rong became angry with shame and said angrily: "Some people really like to meddle in other people's business. Be careful that one day disaster will come out of their mouths and they will be doomed!"
Liu Changqing didn't want to leave him, so how could he not tell it and couldn't help but sneer: "Master Ding is really skilled at using clever words and tricks. He is not afraid that one day, his crimes will be exposed and he will die without a burial place!"
"You!" Ding Rong stretched out his hand and pointed, his nose almost twisted with anger.
"Hmph!" Liu Changqing flicked his sleeves and robe, not bothering to be with him at all.
Looking at his back, Ding Rong could not catch his breath for a long time. The nearby ministers burst into laughter, and someone else came up to him, "Oh, Master Ding, why should I know this person? Why should I care about him..."
As for Ye Cheng, although Xiao Yuan did not mention his name during this court meeting, nor did he mention Hu Kang, the effect was even more obvious.
On the way out of the palace, he couldn't help but sigh again.
An official was not far away from him. When he saw this, he rushed up and said with a smile: "Master Ye, there is nothing to do, but someone used the topic as your Majesty's intention and wanted to attack the Wuwei Mansion. You have offended someone. ."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for reminding me." Ye Cheng couldn't say anything, so he could only return the favor.
What kind of department is Wuwei Mansion, especially the general headquarters, located in Qinzhou, and Qinzhou is full of high-ranking officials, and you will always come into contact with powerful people from time to time.
After returning to the headquarters, a group of officers had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Ye Cheng, they gathered around him.
"I wonder what the situation is like when you enter the court today?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Ye Cheng shook his head slightly, looked at Qi Ying and said: "Xiao Qi, do you still remember the last time, in order to chase the murderer, you ignored Master Yan's face and searched his car?"
Qi Ying was stunned.
Ye Cheng continued: "I've offended someone. You have the courage to do your job. I know this is good. But sometimes, in the officialdom, there are crises everywhere, and people are killed without blood."
"Yan Ming, the Minister of Rites, read a copy of the Wuwei Mansion on the spot today. He obviously has a grudge."
"This..." Qi Ying swallowed, not knowing what to say.
Ye Cheng added: "Fortunately, Your Majesty Wang Shengming trusts our Wuwei Mansion, and Yan Ming cannot control it with just one word."
Hearing this, all the officers knew that nothing happened and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Some people immediately became relaxed and couldn't help but say: "No matter how high his official position is, Lord Yan, what can he do? Who doesn't know that our Lord Ye is the first to follow the king. In terms of qualifications, except for the prime minister and the generals in Beiling, who can Compared with Mr. Ye, if you take a step back, Mr. Ye is the king's old brother. No one in our Wuwei Mansion can defeat him except the king."
"What are you talking about! Nonsense!" Ye Cheng immediately stared.
"Ah!?" The officer was startled, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes, I was speaking in a low-level position. Please forgive me."
"Never say such words in the future! Your Majesty is your master, and we are all your ministers. If someone catches you, you will suffer the most!"
"Yes, yes..." The officer was also frightened for a while.
Xiao Yuan does have many old brothers. You can mention them in private, but if you want to use this matter as a gold medal to avoid death, it will be a taboo for the king.
Ye Cheng is definitely a smart man. He understands in his heart that the king actually protects him, but he must not take Wuwei Mansion seriously because of this.
After reprimanding the officers, he looked around again and said: "This Hu Kang incident has a bad impact. While conducting an internal review, we will immediately notify officers and soldiers across the country to treat this waist card incident as a model!"
"No!" All the officers clasped their fists in unison.
