Chapter 153 Whether it’s a clear stream or a turbid stream, they’re both quite obscene.
Chapter 153 Whether it’s a clear stream or a turbid stream, they’re both quite obscene.
Since the establishment of the Great Prison, the two kings have made almost no action and seem to have accepted their fate.
If Wei Yuan hadn't been in charge of the matter, maybe the two kings would have fought each other. After all, both sides would have died.
But now that Wei Yuan is involved, the Forbidden Army cannot be in chaos.
At this moment, Wei Yuan was responsible for inspecting Prince Yong's Mansion, while Prince Yan's Mansion was handed over to Yanda.
The entire Imperial City Division was mobilized to ensure that there would be no mistakes or chaos.
Not long after, Wei Yuan brought people to Prince Yong's Mansion.
The door is open, not blocked.
Wei Yuan led people directly inside.
And the guards, servants, maids, and even King Yong's children and family members in the palace.
They have all stood up neatly.
Without any explanation, the Imperial City Division had already surrounded them.
Among those people, Wei Yuan also saw the daughter of King Yong, the head of Jiacheng County.
He is in his youth and looks handsome.
In terms of status, he is almost the same as Zhang Guifen.
She could have raised her husband and children and spent her life leisurely.
However, after today, she will become a prisoner.
Today's Jiacheng County Lord is no longer as arrogant and domineering as in the past.
More importantly, it shows the weakness of a woman, who is timid in her heart and worried about her future destiny.
Wei Yuan looked at everyone in the palace, but found no trace of King Yong.
It wasn't until a famous imperial city official whispered in his ear that he finally felt relieved.
At this time, King Yong was drinking alone in the backyard pavilion.
Wei Yuan imagined what would happen when he raided the palace.
A major conflict might break out, or there might be a dispute, but no matter what, I never expected that it would be so peaceful.
When Wei Yuan was about to go to the backyard to find King Yong, the Lord of Jiacheng County did not know where he got the courage and said:
"I have seen you. When the king returned in triumph, you rode on horseback and paraded through the streets."
"The Zhang family girl is a lucky one."
Wei Yuan did not respond.
The princess tugged on the sleeve of County Lord Jiacheng to signal her to be careful what she said.
Soon, Wei Yuan came to the backyard alone.
At this time, several imperial city officials had surrounded him.
Wei Yuan saw that he was still eating wine calmly, with two beautiful concubines waiting beside him, and said:
"Your Majesty is really calm."
When King Yong saw Wei Yuan approaching, he frowned and waved his hand to make the beautiful concubine beside him, who was already frightened and pale, retreat.
Then, he took another sip of wine and said, "Send me on my way, or..."
Wei Yuan said: "I haven't tried you yet, so why are you on the way? Your Majesty's words are serious."
Heavy words?
King Yong snorted, "Everyone on the left or right will die. They will die early and die later."
Wei Yuan said: "It may be that he is removed from the rank and demoted to a common people, but it does not necessarily mean death."
King Yong said: "Does that mean life is worse than death?"
Wei Yuan was speechless.
With the status of King Yong, once he falls, his former enemies will surely attack him.
Isn't it just that life is worse than death?
King Yong drank the wine in the pot in one gulp, took out a letter from his arms, and wrote the four words "Your Majesty personally expresses it".
"Can you please pass this letter on to Your Majesty on behalf of me?"
Wei Yuan said: "Your Majesty may be able to see you again."
King Yong shook his head, "How high-spirited were you when you first came to Beijing? At that time, I was thinking that a talented person like you would definitely be taken under my command and entrusted with important responsibilities."
"It's just that after you came to Beijing, your youthful spirit seemed to have disappeared, and you became a bit more diplomatic and sophisticated like an official. When you lost your spirit, you became less aggressive. I don't think it's a good thing."
Wei Yuan frowned. He didn't understand. What was the purpose of King Yong's saying this?
He did not respond, but continued to listen to King Yong,
"You and I both know very well that even if I were dismissed, His Majesty would not be relieved."
"What does his son's death have to do with me?"
Wei Yuan's expression changed.
King Yong continued: "If I don't die, will my child live? Can he live well?"
Wei Yuan remained silent.
If he is alive, a descendant of King Yong will never end well.
If he dies, perhaps your majesty will take care of the family ties and leave some incense to him.
"Give this letter to Your Majesty."
"The descendants of this lineage will all be grateful to your Wei family for your great kindness."
When King Yong said this, he suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and inserted it into his belly.
The bleeding immediately stopped.
Wei Yuan picked up the blood-stained envelope and watched the scene quietly.
Just now, King Yong drew his sword too fast, and he couldn't stop him in time.
Since this person has the desire to die, no matter what, he cannot be saved and cannot be saved.
Presumably, the Marquis of Zhongshan also had this idea some time ago.
When it comes to the relationship between the king and his ministers, the minister should not make things difficult for the monarch.
However, I hope the children can survive.
Wei Yuan asked the imperial guards beside him to launch fireworks signals.
He wanted to tell Yanda, who was in Prince Yan's Mansion, that something had happened here.
soon.
Gu Qianfan also came to the backyard and saw that King Yong was dead. He frowned and bowed to Wei Yuan:
"Ma Shuai, what should we do now?"
Wei Yuan said: "I ordered you to collect the body of King Yong. When the matter in Prince Yan's palace is over, I will immediately go to the palace to see the saint."
"As for King Yong's family, they will be imprisoned where they are for the time being. They are not allowed to leave the house even half a step. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Gu Qianfan bowed solemnly, "No!"
Later, Wei Yuan remembered something, looked at Gu Qianfan, and asked with a smile:
"I heard that you were also a minister after Qingliu, and there was a minister in the family."
"These days, there are countless famous families who have given up the military and followed the civil service, but this is the first time I have seen those who abandoned the civil service and followed the military."
"Why come to the Imperial City Division?"
Gu Qianfan clasped his fists and said, "In terms of a humble position, there is no such thing as pure and turbid. All that is done is doing things for His Majesty and fulfilling one's duties faithfully. That is the clear stream."
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "That's right."
He watched as Wu Zuo began to collect King Yong's body.
Thoughts can't help but swirl in my heart.
King Yong and King Yan both claimed to be representatives of Qingliu.
But what is Qingliu? What is turbidity again?
But they are just vile people who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
If King Yong and King Yan gain power today and even affect Zhao Zhen's status, then Zhao Zhen's fate will never be better than these two kings.
Not to mention Zhao Xi, the son of Zhao Zhen and the current crown prince of the country.
Soon, Yanda had arrested King Yan and others.
The largest treason case in this dynasty, which has lasted for more than a month, also heralds the end.
All that is left is for the emperor to speak out and make a direct judgment.
Zhao Zhen had already known about today's Imperial City Division's plan.
He seemed to be in a good mood. After all, after today, there would be no major events in the country.
So he did not claim to be ill and did not go to court. Instead, he asked ministers from various ministries to come to the Xuanzheng Hall with the government affairs they had accumulated in recent days.
Among them, there is also Han Zhang.
It was not appropriate for Wei Yuan to choose to meet the Holy Spirit at this time, but the matter was so big that there was no room for delay.
When he and Yanda arrived at the palace, Zhao Zhen directly let them enter the Xuanzheng Hall.
And let them sit in a remote corner.
When the ministers and central ministers saw these two people approaching, they immediately understood that the matter seemed to be over.
Wei Yuan and Yanda listened quietly to the reports from the officials.
What they talked about were some difficult and urgent matters in various places, which were delayed due to the big case in Bianjing.
For example, a few days ago, there were heavy rains in Bianjing and other places for several days and nights, which may cause the river embankment to burst. I want money to repair the river embankment.
Another example is that there was some turmoil over Jinghu South Road, and bandits were rampant.
There are also incidents of cults growing and growing in various places.
These are commonplace problems. Even if they are solved this year, they will still appear next year.
I don’t know how long the monarch and his ministers discussed these trivial matters.
Until Wei Yuan's buttocks were numb.
Suddenly he was attracted by Uncle Ouyang Yong’s voice,
"Your Majesty, because the case of collaborating with the enemy and treason has been investigated for too long, there are vacancies in various departments and officials, and even the former Minister of Civil Affairs has missed the job."
"I suggest that some officials need to be promoted to supplement various departments. Otherwise, major affairs in the court will be complicated and difficult to make progress."
Immediately afterwards, Tomi Yanguo and others also spoke one after another:
"The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is an important one and must be filled by someone whom Your Majesty trusts and who will not cause any problems. Your Majesty, what about Fan Chunren?"
"Su Che, the son of Mr. Su, is also good. He may be able to help Fan Chunren sort out the official affairs as soon as possible to avoid any mistakes."
"."
Wei Yuan's brows gradually furrowed as he heard that one of them was making mistakes on the left and the other was making mistakes on the right.
Do you think you have been investigating the case for too long?
Why don't you take the initiative to ask for orders to investigate?
Now that it’s over, let’s talk about this again?
What a waste, what a waste, what a delay in your search for a concubine?
Wei Yuan took a deep breath.
Now that the case is about to end, you can't wait to start arranging people to get started?
The food appearance is really ugly.
Sure enough, both clear and turbid currents are quite despicable.
On the side, Yanda also heard the hidden meaning of those civil servants' words, but he didn't care too much. After all, the most important thing was to complete the errand and satisfy His Majesty.
But he suddenly looked at Wei Yuan's unhappy expression, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
General Wei, did you curse?
It seems like he was swearing quite dirty?
