Responsibilities
On the morning of the next day, the ministers could feel an unusual tension when they came in. Some young ministers who had just entered the court looked around and wanted to know what the problem was, but when they saw Yun Lang standing in front of the court, they instantly understood something.
Although Yun Lang was just a Taifu in his name, his power during Xu Qing's reign was not limited to teaching Taiwo knowledge. His power was so great that he had a wide network of relationships almost covered all areas of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce in Xu's country. Someone had impeached him before, but not only did he not get any impact, but the minister who impeached him was removed from his post for a trivial matter. Therefore, Yun Lang is definitely the important official who least wants to confront him.
Although Xu Yan is now in power, Yun Lang has personally taught Xu Yan's teacher. Naturally, Xu Yan's attitude towards him is not something that people like them can guess for no reason. But no matter what, what is Yun Lang's sudden return for is still very curious about. What has he experienced in the past six years, and what impact will his return have on Xu's politics?
All the ministers stood silently in their positions, pretending to be respectful, but in fact they were brainstorming all kinds of guesses.
So when Xu Yan came in, she saw an extra harmonious and quiet picture. She frowned in confusion and looked around the ministers below. She became even more curious after confirming that they were all here. No, didn’t they make noises when they came before? Why is it so quiet today?
Xu Yan slowly sat down with Yingchun's support. Among the group of ministers with their heads down, she saw the most freakish Secretary of War Chang Ting and the Imperial Guard President Kun Xing, who was the most quarrel amid the usual troubles. She asked hesitantly: "Is Mr. Chang unwell today?"
Chang Ting didn't expect that he would be lit by Xu Yan, so he trembled and replied: "Thank you for your concern, I am healthy."
Xu Yan paused, looked at Kun Xing again, and asked in a different way: "Mr. Kun, have you been busy and tired in the capital recently? I can't even get angry." Isn't it because I don't have the energy to stop quarreling anymore? How serious is it to give up the daily dispute with Chang Ting!
Kun Xing burst into tears, thinking to himself why the empress had just challenged them and asked questions. It would be strange if the tutor did not notice it. But he still took a step forward and replied respectfully: "I am not in a position, thank Your Majesty for your concern."
Now it was Xu Yan's turn to remain silent. She looked at the silent ministers in the stands, and was still a little uncomfortable for a moment. Thinking of this, she secretly scolded herself for being too pretentious. When they were noisy, they thought they didn't take her seriously. Now they have quieted down and feel something is wrong.
Xu Yan decided not to worry about this anymore. She coughed and said to the audience: "Then let's start the news." As soon as she said this, many people exchanged their eyes secretly. For example, the Dali Temple Minister who was so anxious that his face turned red, he thought in the study room yesterday how to study the book of the Taichang Temple Minister today. His daughter actually dared to tease his eldest son in broad daylight, which was really intolerable! But after he looked around, no minister was willing to speak, so he naturally did not dare to be the one who stood up.
Xu Yan was really amazed at this unusual scene. She hesitated and asked, "Why, was there nothing happened in the world yesterday? Did there be nothing to start today? If there is nothing to do, then leave the court." Naturally, she would not retreat so easily, and saying this was just arousing them. Look at the red face of the Dali Temple Minister. If he doesn't start the report, he might be killed in the Golden Palace.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone did come out, but it was not the Dali Temple minister Xu Yan imagined. Xu Yan frowned and looked at the person standing out at the end of the team, and suddenly became alert.
Liu Fei suddenly knelt down, kowtowed to Xu Yan three times, and said like a bell: "Report to Your Majesty! I have something important to do!" Yun Lang, who was standing in front, showed a gratified smile when he heard her words, and winked at Xu Yan on the stage.
Xu Yan didn't realize Yun Lang's existence until this time. She didn't expect him to come to court so soon. But this is not the key. The most important thing is what Liu Fei wants to say in front of her. Will she say the matter of breaking up as Yun Lang thought? Xu Yan's heart suddenly beating violently uncontrollably, and she didn't know whether it was expectation or some other emotion in her heart.
In the place they couldn't see, Liu Fei showed a cruel smile. She took out a thick memorial from her sleeve and held it respectfully in her hand and said to Xu Yan: "Your Majesty! I want to study the book of the Grand Tutor!" Liu Fei's words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. The originally quiet ministers suddenly burst out with noise.
Xu Yan hurriedly sent Yingchun to go down, and then he heard Liu Fei's next words: "The six years after the Taifu disappeared, he was not seriously ill at all! He was afraid that the things he had done would be exposed in front of everyone. During these years, the Taifu was the president of Qingyun Academy, he helped sell official positions, even killed people and set fires, and seized the women of the people!"
Xu Yan never thought that Yun Lang had done so many ugly things, let alone the ministers below. At this time, the ministers below were obviously divided into two factions. One faction instantly turned pale and looked at Liu Fei hatefully; the other faction was whispering, watching between Yun Lang and Liu Fei. Xu Yan was unable to react when he received such a large amount of information for a while.
However, Liu Fei's revelations continued and would not give these bystanders a chance to breathe. Just as she was about to continue talking, Yun Lang, who had been listening quietly, suddenly walked towards her quickly, and then kicked her and said, "It's nonsense! A mere seventh-rank official can also talk about important officials without any reason. Who gave you the courage?"
Liu Fei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said fearlessly: "Who said I am empty-handed? I, Liu Fei, have always prepared everything in my work. I will never frame any good person, nor will I let any bad person go! Although you are an important minister, how many things have you done with your identity? As a censor, even if I ask me to give advice today, I will get rid of your blood-sucking cancer for Xu Guo!"
When the young censors around him heard Liu Fei's words, they immediately ignited their fighting spirit. They glared at Yun Lang, as if Yun Lang would do something unfavorable to Liu Fei, they would rush to protect Liu Fei. Even Xu Yan couldn't help but be moved by Liu Fei's words.
Yun Lang was forced into a desperate situation at this moment. He stared at the memorial in Liu Fei's hand with hatred and said, "It's just evidence fabricated out of thin air. Why don't you feel guilty about it? This kind of garbage cannot be taken to His Majesty!" As he said that, he wanted to take away the memorial in Liu Fei's hand.
Yingchun, who was standing beside him, quickly blocked Liu Fei's face and took away the memorial from her. Then he said respectfully to Yun Lang with a cold face: "The Grand Tutor is not impatient, and the matter will be decided by Your Majesty. You will definitely not falsely accuse the Grand Tutor."
