Once the case of censors receiving huge royalties and fabricating rumors to discredit their employers' opponents was made public, it caused an uproar in the court.
Many courtiers were recalling their experiences of being impeached by these royal censors, only to discover that many of them were unfounded. They themselves did not remember whether they had happened, so they were used as charges by others, and some even All were written down in the memorial. At that time, they were all confused, but the censor always acted on suspicion, so even if they hired the wrong person, they would not bear any responsibility.
However, looking at it now, it turns out that those so-called nonsense things did not exist from the beginning. They were all fabricated by these people out of selfish motives. This has opened the eyes of quite a few people. Call it intolerable.
Therefore, these courtiers who had been persecuted and slandered united and wrote a memorial, requesting His Majesty the Emperor to severely punish those who spread rumors. Such behavior must not be tolerated.
Song Jue's original intention was to use the opportunity of renovating the Yushitai to give a warning to the civil servants in the court who had nothing to do all day and would stare at the generals. As soon as the courtiers wrote such a letter, he would go down the slope. Donkey, it dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the civil servants. Everyone involved in this case was sentenced severely, including the employers, who were all reduced to having their homes confiscated.
Seeing these civil servants, all of them trembling with fear, Song Jue felt much better. Anyway, these were the requests of the courtiers and their voices. As the emperor, he naturally did not want to embarrass the courtiers. Their hearts naturally want to fulfill all their wishes.
"Master Guo, look at it, look at it, what does it mean to behave well after getting an advantage! If the courtiers see this kind of virtue, they will be angry to death." Bai Meng leaned on the pillar of the warm hall and turned to Song Jue. He rolled his eyes and said, "It's obviously what you want to do in your heart, but you have to pretend that you are complying with public opinion. Is it really that difficult to honestly admit what you really think in your heart?"
"What are you talking about!" Song Jue raised his head and looked at the roof, "Xiaobaizi, I don't understand what you are saying!"
Shen Haolin glanced at Song Jue and Bai Meng, who had started arguing again for who knows how many times, and shook his head helplessly. When these two are good, they are really good. They can wear the same robe, but they also hurt each other. To be honest, each one is more venomous than the other. It's really not easy for their friendship to last for so many years.
Although some of the courtiers vaguely guessed what Song Jue meant, they just kept it in their hearts and did not dare to expose it in person like Bai Meng did. Those civil servants who had been warned, since the Yushitai case came out, have put away their tails one by one and willingly acted like quails. No one dared to jump around in court anymore, for fear that they would be the next to be killed to scare the monkeys. It falls on your own head.
"Whether I admit my true thoughts or not is not important. What is important is that now we are all quiet and don't have to spend part of our energy on unnecessary dealings and wrangling with them. Isn't this a good thing? They also Take a break and think about why Han Chuang studied so hard and why you became an official. Is it just to compete with the generals?"
"Those who can figure it out can break through the confusion in front of them, create a new path, and achieve a new self. If they can't..." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "That's self-destruction."
"Haolin is the most transparent, that's what I mean." Song Jue grabbed Bai Meng's wrist, shook it gently twice, and asked, "A few days ago, Xiaocha said that handwriting identification will take some time, then Let's not be idle during this period and resolve Wanyanxi's matter, right? I heard that Xiaocha went to see him today, right?"
"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, stood up, and walked around in the conservatory, moving his body. "Xiaobai came to us last night and said he wanted to invite Cha'er to see Yan Xi. Since he and Mrs. Cai, Mrs. Gao was in a bad mood after seeing her."
"Not in a good mood?" Song Jue dragged Bai Meng to sit down, "Why are you not feeling well?"
"I just have no energy, and I look sick." Bai Meng sighed, "It's gotten worse in the past two days. I started not eating or drinking, and I don't know what's going on. Talk to him, and he doesn't Ignoring people, I just sat in a daze. I couldn't deal with him, so I had to ask Xiaocha to come forward, and by the way, I invited Miao Miao to see if there was anything wrong with his body."
"Cha'er is very experienced in dealing with children like this." Shen Haolin was not worried at all, "Look at Dai Yi who is following her."
"..." Song Jue and Bai Meng looked at each other. They both knew Dai Yi's story and felt that it was somewhat similar to Wan Yanxi's situation. They nodded silently, "It seems to make sense."
While the three people in the palace were discussing Wanyanxi's current situation, Shen Cha had arrived at the Forbidden Army's station with Jin Miaomiao, Mei Zhu and a few shadows.
The Forbidden Army soldiers led them to the tent where Wanyanxi was. When he walked in, he saw Wanyanxi sitting on a stool. Looking at the untouched breakfast on the table, Shen Cha couldn't help but sigh. Bai Meng was really right, this kid was not quite right.
She walked over and stood in front of Wanyanxi, but found that Wanyanxi had no reaction at all. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, but it had no effect.
Turning to look at Jin Miaomiao who was also helpless, Shen Cha sneered, grabbed Wanyanxi's collar, and dragged her outside without saying a word.
Wanyanxi reacted the moment he was dragged out and wanted to resist, but he hadn't eaten properly for several days and couldn't use any strength at all. He could only let Shen Cha drag him out and throw him away. On to the ground.
Because he had not left the tent for several days, he was dazzled by the dazzling sunlight when he came out. Wanyanxi closed his eyes subconsciously. Unexpectedly, as soon as he closed his eyes, a bucket of cold water was poured from his head to his feet. , he couldn't help but shudder, opened his eyes, and glared fiercely at Shen Cha, who was carrying an empty bucket in front of him.
"Are you awake?" Shen Cha looked at Wan Yanxi calmly, "When you're awake, get up and show yourself to someone with this self-pitying look on your face?"
"I...I..." Wanyanxi, who was told the central issue, lost his vicious look and instantly replaced it with a look of aggrievedness, "I'm just...reflecting."
"Reflect?" Shen Cha handed the bucket to Shadow behind him, folded his arms, and looked down at Wan Yanxi, "What have you been reflecting on?"
"I feel that I was too ignorant before and failed these people's expectations." Wanyanxi raised her head, like a puppy, looking at Shen Cha pitifully, "If...if I hadn't been so smart before. If you are self-righteous, will their lives be easier? Will they not suffer so many grievances? Will Wanyanping not be arrogant for so long? These are all my fault."
"It's not too late to think clearly now, but it's useless to think clearly. How to do it is the key. Just lamenting here that it's all your fault will not help at all." Shen Cha was not moved at all, still looking cold. With a ruthless look, "Look at the stupid look you are now, are you still the high-spirited little prince who didn't take anyone seriously? If they saw this, would they be very sad? They have placed so much hope in you. You have all the hopes, but you are sluggish, so you will not let them down?" She waved her hand and let the two shadows pull the person up from the ground, "If you want to live up to their expectations, cheer up from now on. Only if you become stronger, only if you defeat Wanyan Ping and avenge your father and brother, will their humiliation and burden be worth it!"
