Chapter 316 The Yuan and Yang families confront each other
Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty said with emotion that he was stepping on the faces of his ministers.
Qin Chi didn''t need to raise his head to feel the eyes of everyone on him.
The young officials in the hall may not have understood the intention behind Qin Chi''s move today, but some veterans looked at Qin Chi with unintelligible eyes. Sometimes they can''t help but wonder whether there is a soul similar to theirs under Qin Chi''s young skin. He has long been well versed in the ways of officialdom and is born to be a good candidate for officialdom.
It was so powerful that they were a little afraid.
You must know that at Qin Chi''s age, they are not as comprehensive as him. They have made many achievements and know how to flatter Emperor Ming Cheng, mainly because they hit the point.
Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty was very pleased with it at first glance.
He said a few words to them, probably because he disliked them for not being able to do anything.
Then Qin Chi handed over two more memorials.
The **** took the memorial and presented it. Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty first opened what Qin Chi had written. The content was probably about disaster relief matters and asking for credit from fellow officials. His eyes were full of approval, and when he finished reading, he went to flip through another memorial.
This memorial belongs to Magistrate Yang.
As a result, Emperor Mingcheng''s face grew darker the more he looked at it.
It''s that disappointing feeling again.
This reminded Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty that last year, on the day Qin Chi won the first prize, when he was happy, this man suddenly sued the Yuan family.
Emperor Ming Cheng originally wanted to reward him based on his merits, but suddenly he didn''t want to reward him so quickly.
Of course, the reward is just postponed, not withheld.
A silk book in which people express their gratitude to Emperor Dai Ming for his grace is not only the voice of tens of thousands of people, but also a testament to Qin Chi''s hard work. Moreover, Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty appointed Qin Chi to provide disaster relief last year, and he said in front of all civil and military officials that he would discuss merit and reward him. If he regrets it now, he will inevitably be criticized.
At this moment, the main hall was extremely solemn.
Qin Chi suddenly knelt in front of the palace, his voice full of grief, anger and pleading: "Your Majesty, the Yuan family has repeatedly harmed Wei Chen. I hope you can make the decision for Wei Chen and give Wei Chen justice."
boom!
The whole hall fell silent for an instant.
There was something wrong with the memorial just now, and they saw it.
I didn''t expect what would happen.
Now that Qin Chi said this, it was obvious that the booklet was from the Yuan family.
Qin Chi took out the testimony of the poisoning case again: "Wei Chen almost couldn''t come back this time. Fortunately, Magistrate Yang caught the murderer clearly and arrested him. The murderer was appointed by the Yuan family. This is the testimony of the murderer. Please read it. "
"Send it up." Emperor Mingcheng said.
The imperial **** went to take it again and forwarded it to Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty for review.
There was silence in the hall at this moment, and you could hear a needle drop.
Yuan Shangshu hurriedly stood up and defended: "Qin Qi''an''s words are purely false accusations! I am upright and not afraid of shadows. I hope your Majesty will learn from it!"
Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty threw the evidence at Yuan Shangshu.
Yuan Shangshu hurriedly knelt down, picked up the evidence and flipped through it, "Slander! This is pure slander. It was the Yang family who plotted against the minister. Your Majesty, it must be the Yang family who wanted to strike first and kill the minister to cover up his family''s crimes."
"Nonsense! Old thief Yuan can''t even hope to get away with it. The Yuan family is domineering and arbitrary. They have secretly murdered Mr. Qin once or twice. Do you think that if you hide it well, no one will know?"
Yang Ge angrily pointed at Yuan Shangshu, with a look of sorrow on his face and passionate words, "Yuan, the facts are in front of you, how can you be allowed to get away with it?! I see that you have nothing to say, so I want to divert your attention and dirty things." It was extremely shameless to pour water on the Yang family’s head.”
Then, Yang Gelao saluted Emperor Mingcheng again and said in defense: "Your Majesty, I have always loved talents, and particularly admired Qin Qi''an''s talent and learning. Last year, the Yuan family tried to kill him, so they couldn''t help but pull him. How could you plot to kill him while he was going to relieve the disaster? This is pure nonsense. Not to mention that no one here today would believe it. If it were spread outside, not many children would understand it. "
There is quite a bit of truth to that.
Most of the courtiers didn''t believe it either. Some people have long felt that Yuan Shangshu''s frame-up was really clumsy. However, they were wrong!
Yuan Shangshu did not panic at all. He took out a memorial from his body and raised it above his head. He said sternly: "Today, I am suing Yang Lingyu, the young minister of Dali Temple. When he was the magistrate of Huizhou Prefecture, he perverted the law for personal gain and disregarded human life. He acted recklessly and colluded with the squire Zeng family to murder. Hundreds of lives were lost to the Song family. All the relatives and friends of the Song family who went to inquire afterwards were either dead or injured, and dozens of lives were involved..."
Yuan Shangshu''s voice echoed in the hall.
Every word was like a sharp blade, slashing at Yang Lingyu.
Qin Chi recognized Yuan Shangshu''s words and modified the description of the case, which suddenly sounded horrifying.
Obviously missing.
He would die if he said it.
Most of the so-called relatives and friends are actually servants of the arrangement. Dozens of cases, more than thirty to be specific.
The atmosphere in the palace was solemn and the officials were silent.
There was only the sound of the Yang and Yuan factions arguing, and neither one wanted to let the other go.
"Shut up!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Emperor Mingcheng frowned, and for a moment, the entire hall fell into a dead silence. He looked at Yang Lingyu who was kneeling below, "Yang Shaoqing, can you plead guilty?"
"Your Majesty, I am wronged."
Yang Lingyu kowtowed and complained, "I worked conscientiously during my tenure as the magistrate of Huizhou and never dared to make any mistakes..."
"Yang Shaoqing!"
Yuan Shangshu bit Yang Lingyu to death and refused to let him go, "Who in the whole Huizhou Prefecture doesn''t know that the Song family was the one who personally ordered the official documents to be confiscated and convicted."
Immediately, Yuan Shangshu glanced at Qin Chi with a sad look, "You must have heard that Mr. Qin came from Huizhou Prefecture."
"It''s true. Everyone in Huizhou Prefecture knows that the Song family ransacked their homes and was imprisoned. We can tell the truth by sending someone to inquire."
Qin Chi did not shy away from this matter. After a pause, he continued: "Song''s medicinal materials have always been of high quality and fair prices, benefiting countless people in Huizhou. When the incident happened, the prices of medicinal materials on the local market were turbulent for a long time. Among them, there are several medicinal materials unique to the Song family that are even more valuable than gold, and a few of them are still valuable but not commercially available.”
A trace of panic flashed in Yang Lingyu''s eyes.
Yang Gelao frowned, but still managed to remain calm.
"Wow, this is too cruel. Hundreds of people died. The Yang family wants to cover the sky with one hand." Ning Guogong suddenly interrupted.
"Mr. Ning, please be careful what you say." Mr. Yang Ge held back his anger and glared at him.
Ning Guogong does not support the Yang family, nor does he support the Yuan family.
In the eyes of others, he is just a mean-mouthed fool. When everyone was avoiding him, he dared to speak out.
Ning Guogong seemed to recall: "No wonder there was a time a few years ago when the old housekeeper at home said that the medicinal materials in Huizhou were very expensive."
Some of the generals also ridiculed, "When it comes to ruthlessness, it''s the men of letters. We generals stain our hands with blood to defend our country and go into battle to kill the enemy. We, the men of letters, can take hundreds of lives with just a few wrong thoughts. We feel ashamed." No. If there is a war in the future, just let the civil servants take the vanguard, and they will be able to kill without blood. "
"Ha, cough."
Some people couldn''t hold back their laughter and had to cough to cover it up.
Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty looked at Yuan Shangshu again, "Yang Lingyu doesn''t admit it, does Yuan Aiqing have any evidence?"
"have!"
Yuan Shangshu came prepared today.
