One hundred and fifty-ninth chapter one party (three)
"The matter is almost over..."
Zhao Zhi glanced at the ministers and said indifferently.
Li Xun stood there, his legs were sore and his spirits were depressed. He just felt that today's court meeting was boring. He really shouldn't have listened to Fan Zhongyun's instigation. It was so comfortable to stay at home. He had to come over to find the pain. He really made a self-inflicted effort.
Mr. Mu shouted loudly: "If you have something to report, you should report it, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat to the court."
Just when Li Xun thought the court meeting was about to end and he could go home, someone immediately stood up.
"I have something to say to the emperor."
The censor Dong Yuan stood up.
Zhao Zhi nodded: "What's the matter?"
Dong Yuan took out the memorial from his cuffs, held it high with both hands, and shouted loudly: "I will report to the emperor, I want to impeach Yang Binglin, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel."
Dong Yuan's move was whispering and whispering to each other. Yang Binglin stood up and shouted with an angry look on his face: "Censor Dong, what do you mean? I, Yang Binglin, have always been open and honest. Why do you impeach me?"
Dong Yuan seemed to have not heard Yang Binglin's questioning and ignored him.
"Sujing, if you dare to roar and lie again, where is the guard? I will immediately drive me out of the court."
Mr. Mu looked at Yang Binglin coldly and said sternly, "Where is this place? It is a court meeting, the most serious and solemn place in the entire Jin Dynasty. Yang Binglin, a fifth-rank official, dared to scold the ministers on the spot in front of so many people. It was extremely arrogant.
At the end of the team, He Tingxuan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang, before the Censor Dong's report is over, please don't interrupt casually."
Yang Binglin was ashen, so he had to bow and complain to Zhao Zhi and retreat.
Zhao Zhi didn't say much about Yang Binglin's rudeness. He looked at Dong Yuan and said indifferently: "Come on!"
An eunuch trotted forward, took the memorial and walked to the bottom of the Dragon Platform. Mr. Mu took the memorial and turned around and handed it to Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi looked through the memorial and Dong Yuan said loudly: "Yang Binglin privately raises prostitutes and puts them in other places. Someone told him to set up a money house in private and secretly make high profits. Dozens of people failed to repay their debts. They were cruelly persecuted, fled or died. Many behaviors violated the laws of the court and damaged their official titles. Please punish Your Majesty."
As soon as Dong Yuan finished speaking, another censor stood up and said loudly: "Yang Binglin once had a concubine named Ji, who was Yang Binglin's first concubine. He served for nearly twenty years. This year, he was old and declining. Later, he had no children and no relatives. He was driven out of the house by Yang Binglin and died of starvation. This was done, and there was no benevolence and righteousness. How could such an official become an official? He also asked His Majesty to dismiss his official position and reduce his guilt."
After the speeches of the two censors, many officials present flashed their eyes and looked surprised on their faces. The Huangshu incident became more and more intense, and more than a hundred officials involved were involved. They originally thought that today's court meeting would discuss Huangshu affairs. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhizhi did not mention Huangshu, but instead put the discussion on the matter of division of Longyou. Seeing that it was about to end, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but the wind direction changed immediately. He pointed the gun at Yang Binglin, a doctor of the Ministry of Personnel who was very active at the court meeting recently. Many officials of the Yang family were caught off guard and were shocked on the spot.
"Your Majesty, what the two censors said is absolutely fictitious. As a court official, how could I do these things that damage my reputation? Please let Your Majesty take a closer look."
After being charged by the censor, Yang Binglin's face changed a few times. He hurriedly stood up, bowed and shouted for justice.
Zhao Zhi said indifferently: "Does the many crimes you both say are verified?"
"Your Majesty can send someone to Jingzhao Mansion to retrieve the deposit documents, which shows Yang Binglin's many crimes."
Zhao Zhi nodded, looked at Yang Binglin, his face darkened, and said in a cold voice: "Yang Binglin, what else do you have to say?"
Yang Binglin gritted his teeth and said, "I am not guilty, please let Your Majesty observe clearly."
"Your Majesty, what the two censors reported may be just hearsay, and it is difficult to distinguish the true or false. Please do not listen to the partial belief."
"This matter is still to be verified. I suggest that I issue a document to investigate the matter in Jingzhao Prefecture, which may confirm whether the matter reported by the Censor is accurate."
Several ministers came out to speak for Yang Binglin.
Zhao Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Yang Binglin is temporarily removed from all official positions, and the Ministry of Justice will review the case."
"I obey the order."
Jin Hui, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, stood up and bowed to accept the order.
"Sanchao."
After the court meeting, Li Xun glanced at Yang Binglin with a pale face from afar and thought to himself that this person's reputation was considered a bad one.
Walking out of the hall of the court, Li Xun took two steps quickly, caught up with He Tingxuan, and stepped beside him on his shoulder, and smiled and said, "Brother Tingxuan, find a place to have two drinks?"
He Tingxuan smiled and said, "Okay, I still owe you a meal. I'll treat you today."
Li Xun laughed and said, "How long has it been, do you still remember?"
He Tingxuan said seriously: "The last time I promised to treat me, it was the money you gave me in the end. Although there was a reason for the matter, I was also breach of my trust."
"You please, you please, I didn't bring any money today."
Li Xun smiled and didn't argue with him. He Tingxuan is too straightforward. To put it bluntly, he is just a bit pedantic and stubborn. However, such a person is also very simple and straightforward. He doesn't need to be careful of anything when making friends with him.
.............
There were seven or eight dishes fiddling on the table. Zhao Zhi sat there, silently and did not use chopsticks to eat the dishes. Instead, he drank wine one after another. It can be seen that Zhao Zhi was not in a good mood at this moment.
Zhao Zhi lived a very frugal life, and the expenses and systems in the palace were reduced again and again. According to regulations, the emperor had at least thirty or fifty exquisite dishes for each meal. However, since Zhao Zhi ascended the throne, he has rarely seen ordinary meals, that is, seven or eight very simple dishes.
Mr. Mu whispered: "Your Majesty, drink less and take care of the dragon body."
Zhao Zhi's wine glass came to his mouth, stopped, but finally did not drink it. He put down the wine glass heavily. Zhao Zhi sighed and said helplessly: "Respect your parents, brotherly friendship, and the eight simple words, why is it so difficult to do?"
Mu Gong remained silent. He couldn't accept this. He respected his parents. This is the most basic moral norm. No one dared to violate it. But it is not certain that brothers are friendly, especially for the royal family, which is even more difficult. For example, Zhao Zhi... At that time, he... also ascended the throne by stepping on his brothers?
"Your Majesty, the Wing King..."
"I don't give it to you, so I can't rob it."
Zhao Zhi felt a little cold on his face, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Chief Xuan Censor Liu Chongji meets with you."
............
That night, the Chief Censor Liu Chongji entered the palace to meet Zhao Zhi.
After reading the confession in his hand, Liu Chongji secretly glanced at Zhao Zhi, and then asked, "Please give me instructions."
Zhao Zhi said: "Do according to normal rules."
Liu Chongji asked carefully: "Will Wang Qili come forward?"
Zhao Zhi sneered: "There is also the young minister of Dali Temple, Liu Congyuan. I am very disliked this person, so don't miss him."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chongji's whole body shook slightly, Zhao Zhi was about to touch some people.
