On Xie Xun's carriage, Gao Guangning asked Xiaoyi: "Master, why did Your Majesty suddenly tell us that we will go to the summer palace?"
"Your Majesty is back." Xie Xun said expressionlessly: "I just found out that His Majesty was stopped by the victims yesterday, outside Xuanhui's gate."
"Ah!" Gao Guangning immediately said pale, "How could it be such a coincidence?!"
"This is not a question you should care about." Xie Xun said coldly: "You should think about it carefully, how can you pass this level in front of you?"
"Master, you must save me!" Gao Guangning begged with a face full of his face: "I have been borne by the officials on behalf of others!"
"Why are you panic?" Xie Xun looked at Gao Guangning unhappily and said, "Before he was doing something, he was confused first!"
"Only with the protection of the prince can you have the confidence!" Gao Guangning heard the meaning of Xie Xun's words and said with relief: "Don't worry, the prince will definitely not involve Xie Tian."
"Hmph!" Xie Xun snorted coldly and ignored him. If his grandson hadn't been involved too deeply in it, Xie Xun would not have cared about Gao Guangning's bad things at all.
However, Xie Xun also knew that even if he didn't help, Gao Guangning would not be able to do so, because he was a loyal dog of the Xiahou family. Xiahou Ba would not let someone touch his dog, even if the emperor wanted to move!
.
After a cup of tea, the Secretariat and his group arrived outside the city.
Seeing the black victim kneeling in front of the imperial guards, Shangshu Ling Cui Yan frowned. He felt something was strange. But now it was too late to say anything, so he could only get off the car quickly and take Gao Guangning and Huang Yun with Xie Xun, under the protection of the guards, to the imperial carriage of the Emperor Chu.
Among the victims, someone shouted: "That's Gao Guangning!"
Suddenly, there were people throwing soles and dirt at them. Although there were guards blocking them, they were not worried about being beaten. However, Gao Guangning was a second-rank minister and was scolded in person. The taste was so ecstatic.
It was not until he came to the front of Emperor Chu that the curses gradually became less. Cui Yan and Xie Xun saluted respectfully to Emperor Chu, while Gao Guangning and Huang Yun knelt in front of the emperor.
"Duke Rong," Emperor Chu Shi looked at Cui Yan with a blank expression and asked in a deep voice: "These victims said that they went to the Secretariat to file a complaint yesterday, but were driven out by you indiscriminately, and they were expelled from Beijing. What if there is such a thing?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister went to inspect the river bank a few days ago and just returned to Beijing this morning." Cui Yan shook his head and said slowly: "I don't know about these things. Please give me some time to find out."
"Who was on duty in the province yesterday?" Chu Shidi asked coldly.
"It's an old minister." Xie Xun responded with an embarrassing expression. In addition to Cui Yan and him, the three chiefs of the Shangshu Province also had the right servant Xiahou Bushu. However, a few days ago, Xiahou Bushu was ordered to be suspended from his post and reflect. Cui Yan was not here yesterday, so he was the only one who could hold the jar himself.
"Then please tell me about it." The Emperor Chu glanced at Xie Xun.
"Report to Your Majesty, first of all, you should go to the Censorate. There is no complaint in front of the Secretariat, nor is it a place to accept the injustice." Xie Xun said in a deep voice: "Even so, the old ministers still allow them to hand in the paper in and want to convey it on their behalf. However, they did not have the paper in their hands and could not produce any evidence for a while. They just surrounded the Secretariat and scolded, which greatly affected all departments and could not work normally."
"The old minister had to ask them to go back first, write a paper and hand it to the censorate, even if it comes to the old minister again." Xie Xun then said helplessly: "But they decided that the Shangshu Province was a guardian of officials and did not listen to the officials' explanations at all. Later, they even wanted to attack the key points of the court's national politics. The old minister had to ask Jingzhao Prefecture to send people to protect the Shangshu Province from the impact. Later, the scene became more and more chaotic, and Jingzhao Prefecture had to forcibly disperse everyone to avoid casualties."
Xie Xun's words were reasonable and profound, and even the old men were bowed down. Obviously, Xie Xun did not lie.
In the eyes of the kind old man, someone was indeed too irrational yesterday, and kept clamoring for the confrontation between the victims and the government, and even attacked the official officers. It was really inappropriate. Little did they know that those guys who fanned the cold wind and lit ghost fires, and were afraid that the world would not be in chaos were simply the chess pieces arranged by Zuo Yanqing!
But they forgot that no matter how reasonable Xie Xun said, the truth was still on their side!
"The Duke of the State of the State makes a lot of sense. What is right and wrong in yesterday's matters, let's not talk about it for now." The Emperor of the First Emperor would not be deceived by Xie Xun and said lightly: "Duke Rong, should the Minister of the Shangshu ask about this matter?"
"When you come back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works is a subordinate of the Secretariat, and the Secretariat should inquire about it." Cui Yan replied softly.
"That's great, Duke Fu, have you asked about this matter today?" The Emperor Chu grabbed the key point and asked coldly.
"This..." Xie Xun looked suffocated and whispered: "The old minister has learned about this from Gao Shangshu today."
"I've understood..." The Emperor of Chu sarcastically asked, "What did he say?"
"He is here, Your Majesty can ask him directly." Xie Xun hurriedly kicked the ball to Gao Guangning.
"Report to Your Majesty," Gao Guangning said in a trepid: "The design of the river embankment may be flawed, but there is absolutely no cuts of corners, and there is no private design modification. These are archived in the Secretariat and the Ministry of Revenue. Please observe clearly!"
"You pushed cleanly!" Chu Shidi sneered and said repeatedly: "Yes, the flood has washed the river bank completely. As long as you do the accounting cleanly, there will naturally be no evidence."
"Your Majesty said this, I can only die to prove my innocence!" Gao Guangning raised his neck and said proudly.
"Hahaha! Gao Shangshu is indeed shameless!" The Emperor Chu burst out laughing. Suddenly he smiled and snorted coldly: "You are so confident, don't you think there is no evidence?" As he said that, he pointed to countless victims and said: "There are countless pairs of eyes there, witnessing your crime of cutting corners and privately changing the river channel. You have to kill them all to silence them!"
"Your Majesty, the victims are incited by others and follow the crowd. They cannot do their words accurately!" Huang Yun behind Gao Guangning shouted loudly.
When the Emperor Chu saw a small Dushui Supervisor, he dared to roar in front of him. He immediately became angry and slapped the handrails of the bed and shouted loudly: "Don't I believe my millions of people, do you want to believe in you, a dog?!" He pointed at Huang Yun and said in a deep voice: "Take off his official uniform and put on eighty sticks first!"
The imperial guards responded with a loud bang, stepped forward and pressed Huang Yun, and took him off in three or five steps. Then they pressed him to the ground, raised their staff and hit him!
After a few sticks, Huang Yun flew with flesh and blood, and his screams were extremely shrill!
The fierce court stick, the splattered blood, and the shrill screams all show the supremacy of imperial power and inviolability!
Gao Guangning looked at Huang Yun with a pale face and actually hoped that the two princes could say something. However, Cui Yan's eyes were slightly closed, as if he couldn't bear to see the scene in front of him. Xie Xun's face turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and kept silent.
After the execution was completed, Huang Yun had fainted. The Emperor of the First Emperor ordered his men to put him in prison, and then turned his eyes to Gao Guangning and said, "Since your boss can't bear to investigate you, I have to go beyond my authority!" As he said that, he shouted, "Take him down too!"
Several imperial guards were about to go forward to get Gao Guangning.
"Your Majesty calmed down," Xie Xun suddenly stood in front of him, clasped his fists and said to the Emperor Chu: "Gao Guangning is a second-rank Shangshu. According to my Daxuan Law, the Censorate must be impeached and tried by Dali Temple before Your Majesty can be ordered to arrest him!"
Several imperial guards were in a dilemma. They understood the emperor's determination, but the person standing opposite was Xie Valve's master!
"Haha..." The Emperor of Chu looked at Xie Xun sarcastically and said, "Did I say I want to arrest him?"
"This..." Xie Xun said dumbfounded: "Your Majesty said he would take him down."
"I want to ask someone to take him to the palace to stay for two days." The first emperor Youran said, "There is no provision for the Daxuan Law. Can the second-rank Shangshu accompany you, right?"
"This..." Xie Xun was stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor would play a word game with him, and he could not find any words to stop him for a moment.
"Why are you still standing there?" The Emperor Chu glanced at the guards unhappily. The few of them hurriedly walked around Xie Xun, walked to Gao Guangning, and said politely: "Master Gao, please!"
