Chapter 106 Second opinion
Witness or physical evidence?
If it is a witness, how did the person come about?
Did the Yushitai send people to monitor important ministers, or did they bribe their families?
If it were physical evidence, then things would be even more complicated.
Who gave you the power of the Yushitai to secretly search the residences of the dignified ministers and generals?
Or is it that the correspondence between important ministers was stolen along the way, and even the correspondence between ministers in the DPRK and China was controlled from the beginning to the end by Yushitai?!
Even the messenger of embroidered clothes did not have that much power without the emperor's secret order!
Compared with the great peasants who ordered the generals to do small business that could not be brought to the table, you, the Yushitai, even controlled every move of the civil and military ministers.
Which one is more of a conspiracy?
It was summer, but Liang Lun felt as if he was in the middle of winter.
The way other people looked at Tang Qi also changed instantly.
I thought I was just a young man who knew a lot of tricks, but I didn’t expect him to be so skilled at criticizing the officialdom?
The generals were no longer angry and just stared at Liang Lun coldly, as if they were looking at a dead man.
Liu Che's eyes immediately turned cold.
"Liang Lun, Da Nong Ling is asking you. You said that he was in collusion with military generals. Is this a human or physical evidence?"
"Chen, Chen..." Liang Lun was speechless, his eyes rolling around.
He is not stupid, of course he knows that whatever he chooses at this time is wrong, he can only hope that his colleagues will help him.
But the colleagues who had just attacked Tang Qi, Wei Qing and the generals all started to pretend to be dumb.
Look at the sky and the earth, but don’t look at Liang Lun.
Even a fool can tell that the emperor's tone is wrong, so why would they get into trouble?
The only blame is that Liang Lun was careless in his words, which gave people a handle.
At this time, Li Cai, the imperial censor, came out to make matters worse: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it is the turn of summer and autumn, and the censor's station is busy supervising the preparations for the collection of national taxes and grains in various counties. Regarding what Liang Yushi said,
I don’t know this!”
This matter has nothing to do with me. It's all the people below who make their own decisions. Your Majesty, please don't blame me!
The Yushitai is different from other official offices. It belongs to the supervisory department of the Han Dynasty. Although there is a subordinate relationship between the chief officer and the subordinate officials, it is not the one-spoken hall of the Yushitai.
Whenever they observe that ministers are committing lawlessness, the censors are qualified to write to the emperor directly!
Li Cai said this, but it cannot be said that he was not strict in his control.
Even one of the three princes and the deputy prime minister's chief official began to distance themselves from each other, and no one would speak for Liang Lun.
But Prime Minister Gongsun Hong still stood at the head of the officials, loading wood with Wei Qing opposite.
Liang Lun's face lost the last trace of color.
"Drag it down."
Liu Che waved his hand indifferently.
Immediately, an eager official came in, grabbed Liang Lun's arms and dragged him out.
Liang Lun suddenly woke up and screamed: "Your Majesty, you are unjust!"
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me, and I am wronged!"
But after shouting for a long time, there was no actual content. The words were "unjustly accused" and "bloody slander" over and over again.
Thinking about it, if he really dared to say something and implicated other people, it probably wouldn't be as simple as dragging him out.
"Shut his mouth!"
Liu Che gave the disappointed order, expecting to learn something from Liang Lun.
Now it seems that these officials are quite strict.
Liang Lun was dragged away, but other ministers who participated in the remonstrance were still there.
Everyone stood in the middle and looked at each other, not knowing whether to continue.
Does the emperor's behavior imply that An Dinghou has the support of the emperor behind him, so he acts unscrupulously?
For a time, everyone wanted to retreat.
The matter of doing business as a partnership is not a big deal, but a small one.
If the emperor makes up his mind not to pursue the case, even if they talk about it, it will have no effect.
As for hooking up with the generals...
For this kind of trumped-up crime, if the king believes you, even if you collude, it will be fine; if the king doesn’t believe you, you will be slapped with a slap on the wrist even if you sit down to have a meal.
There were only so many civil and military officials in the Han Dynasty, and the relationship between teachers and students was complicated. Who could be completely separated from whom?
Even if Prime Minister Gongsun Hong and General Wei Qing are on the same level,
But if we dig deeper, there are some unexplained relationships between the eldest sister of Wei Qing and Wei Zifu, Wei Ru's husband, Qingche General Gongsun He, and Gongsun Hong!
Taking part in this kind of crime is actually just a test to test Tang Qi's status in His Majesty's mind.
However, not everyone understands this truth.
For example, Fan Chu, who is also the censor Zhongcheng, can't wait to stand up for his colleagues.
The old man in his forties or fifties blew his beard, pointed at Tang Qi angrily, and asked: "Even if the Great Farm Order has never contacted the generals, then private businessmen are still competing with the people for profits, right?
"
After saying that, as if he was afraid that Tang Qi would say something stupid again, he directly handed over his hand to Liu Che without waiting for the other party's answer.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the Dahan Department Store be closed down and its wealth be sold to the people at a low price to show that the imperial court has no intention of competing with the people for profit!"
"Even if we don't seal it, we must strictly order the Great Farmer to cut it off, and we will not have any contact with it from now on. Otherwise, all the officials of our Han Dynasty will go into business, and how will the people live!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
More than a dozen ministers stood up one after another and expressed righteously that what Lord Fan Chu said was true.
As for the generals, they are very smart and no one mentions them anymore.
The public sentiment was fierce, and for a while it seemed that the entire Han officialdom was against it, and Tang Qi had to be forced to close the supermarket.
Tang Qi now had personal experience with the so-called officialdom attack and annihilation.
Liu Che saw this and felt angry in his heart!
Last night, Mr. Tang gave me another gift of more than 20,000 yuan. If Dahan Department Store is closed, where can I get so much money?
Is it up to you?
But it was hard for the emperor to deal with this kind of thing personally.
I had no choice but to go see Tang Qi.
Tang Qi indeed lived up to Liu Che's hopes. If he dared to come to this court today, he would not be unprepared.
He stood up slowly again, saluted Liu Che in a serious manner, and then asked seriously: "This sir..."
"Xiaguan Fan Gou!"
"The people in Chang'an have seen it with their own eyes when the Great Farmer Order competes with the people for profit, so there is no need to go out to investigate!"
Fan Gou raised his head and glanced at Tang Qi from the corner of his eye.
"Why, the Da Nong Order also detains the subordinates to spy on important ministers for evil intentions?!"
"Oh, stupid."
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Hong couldn't help but close his eyes.
When Liang Lun was dragged down, it was because his imprecise words touched the emperor's bottom line. He was seeking his own death. How could he blame others for trying to catch him?
What's more, the emperor's personal order to deal with Liang Lun, Tang Qi only said two sentences from beginning to end.
When you say that, aren't you scolding the emperor for taking human lives for granted?
Sure enough, Liu Che's face was as dark as water, and he made a big cross for Fan Gou in his heart.
Chapter completed!
