Chapter 34 Wei Zheng's Words and Wars

Faced with the reprimand of the ministers, Wei Zheng did not silently as he had last time, but stared at these people with a cold face.

"Before Yan Song and Heshen were talking, you were impatient! Could it be that you who gave him bribes?"

As soon as these words were said, the faces of the ministers present changed one after another, and they all lost their voices for a moment.

Isn't that the case? Otherwise, what will they be anxious about?

Seeing this, Wei Zheng sneered: "How did you get the bribe money from you? Have you also accepted bribes from the people below?"

"All nonsense! All nonsense!"

Luo Longwen, the Tongzheng envoy, had a white beard and a short stature. At this moment, his righteous face turned red. He stood up and pointed at Wei Zheng and cursed angrily: "No reason! A false charge!"

"Even a honest official like Yan Xiang was criticized by you! Wei Zheng thief, will you ruin the big dynasty court?"

"good!"

On the other side, Su Linga, the Minister of Works, stood up directly and echoed righteously: "It's the same as lord!"

"Mr. Wei, just by your unreasonable speculation, you have to attack and lord like this? You have to make the innocent and scattered court a mess?"

Subsequently, Yan Maoqing, the Minister of Dali Temple, Zhao Wenhua, the Left Assistant Minister of Works, Wu Shenglan, the Right Assistant Minister of Personnel, and others also stood up in anger and loudly refuted Wei Zheng's words.

Li Gan on the dragon throne was stunned. Why is this situation so similar to three days ago?

The only difference is that today's Wei Zheng is extremely powerful, and he is full of fighting power with many court officials, and is verbally fighting against the scholars.

"If Yan Song and Heshen were both honest officials, there would be no corrupt officials in the world! Do you still ask me for evidence? Go to Beijing to ask a 13-year-old child at will, and you all know that these two are the most greedy corrupt officials in the world! Could it be that you are not even a three-year-old child..."

"Ahem~"

Looking at the chaotic court below, Li Gan coughed twice, and Wei Zhongxian, who was beside him, immediately came over and said loudly: "Silent!!"

We can't let them continue to argue, otherwise, it might have happened three days ago.

Fortunately, the ministers were still very obedient when they were guilty. They stopped one after another and quietly looked at His Majesty the Emperor on the dragon throne.

Li Gan thought for a while, looked at Yan Song in front of him, and Heshen and the others asked, "Yan Xiang, Heqing family, and Wei Qing family impeached you and took bribes. Do you have anything to say?"

As soon as these words were said, Heshen stood up, cried and shouted for justice:

"Your Majesty clearly understands that I am really wronged! I am diligent in handling the government affairs every day and will never dare to be greedy for a single penny!"

Li Gan's mouth twitched, are you serious?

Could the saying "Heshen fell and Jiaqing was full" in his previous life be a fun thing?

On the other side, Yan Song also stood up, his face was heavy, and bowed to Li Gan and said, "Your Majesty, I am also wronged!"

"Since I took over as the prime minister and took charge of the Ministry of Revenue, I feel deeply that the great responsibility of the country is added to myself. I cannot eat well and sleep. I can't sleep and eat at night to serve the affairs of the state, and strive to live up to the entrusted people and fulfill His Majesty's entrustedness. I dare not relax for a moment."

"I have no guilt in my heart and I will never have any intention of corruption and bribery. Please be aware of your Majesty."

Looking at Yan Song's upright appearance, Li Gan became more and more suspicious of his perception.

I heard that after Yan Song was confiscated in his previous life, the Jiajing Dynasty also published a copy of "Tianshui Iceberg Record" to record the copied property, totaling more than 60,000 words. Could it be that this is also fake?

Li Gan rubbed his chin and looked at these two people. It would be a pity that you two didn't go to be actors.

However, knowing that they are greedy is one thing, they cannot punish them now.

Just look at the reactions of the civil servants below.

This is not just a matter of bribery. Even if this incident cannot involve these civil servants, what can I do?

If the people who are corruption above are punished, will they start to liquidate the people below? Will the next one be liquidated on them?

Therefore, civil servants will definitely not sit idly by and watch these two people be punished.

Li Gan could also punish him forcibly. I believe that these military officers in the court might be happy to see it and happily help the emperor do this.

But just think about it later and you will know that if these civil officials do not restrain the military generals, what will happen to the court?

How many more days can Li Gan be the emperor? How many more days will he have to work?

"Um……"

Li Gan's eyes turned to Wei Zheng: "Wei Qing family, do you impeach Yan Xiang and Heqing family to embezzle and accept bribes? Is there any evidence?"

As soon as these words were said, many ministers in the court became nervous, but the civil officials who were approaching the front slightly smiled slightly.

If Wei Zheng had evidence, would he have to wait until now?

Sure enough, under the gaze of Li Gan and many court officials, Wei Zheng shook his head barely: "Go back to Your Majesty, I have no evidence."

Li Gan looked at him speechlessly, saying that he was worthy of being Wei Zheng, and he was justified without evidence.

But Wei Zheng did not give up, and he still bowed: "But as I said, the world knows that the million taels of silver that the court defies every year will fall into the hands of these people!"

"Heshen was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. Whenever the capital was inspected, there were many cars and horses in front of the door, and they were all speculative gifts! Even ordinary people knew that the Hefu was the place where official positions were sold!"

"Yan Song is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, is in charge of the money and grain of the warehouse, is unscrupulous, and is full of personal pockets. He uses the position of the Left Prime Minister to acquire land and property, and even takes advantage of his son to accept bribes. It is absolutely unforgivable!"

"I would like to deal with these two people strictly to serve as a warning to others!"

Wei Zheng finally bowed and bowed a long time, and his scarlet official robe was full of righteousness.

"Wei Zheng, you are really nonsense!"

Luo Wenlong, the envoy of Tongzheng who had just spoken, stood up again and pointed at him and said angrily: "Although the court's strategy is determined, there are always all kinds of accidents whenever it is implemented. The extra money spent is naturally recorded in the book. With official documents as evidence, how can there be a loss?"

"As for bribery, there is no way to talk about it!"

"Mr. Wei, everyone is doing things for the court. Why does anyone do more and suffer more grievances?"

Luo Longwen accused with great righteousness: "Serious generals have been worried about their hard work, calming down river disasters, relieving disaster victims, and stabilizing the country... Have you ignored all this?"

"But what did you, Lord Wei, do? You kept clinging to these official documents and refused to let go! Is this Yan Xiang's fault??"

"good!"

Su Linga spoke righteously again: "It's the same as sir!"

"Besides, the censors from ancient times to the present are only news and reports, but Lord Wei, you just rely on your own unreasonable speculation and wishful thinking, and you will slander a clean official like you like..."

Other civil servants also spoke out for justice. For a moment, Wei Zheng once again became a rat in the court, and everyone shouted and beat him.

But he didn't care at all, but looked at the people present with cold eyes:

"You are also saying that Heshen and Yan Song did not accept bribes, but where did the Guangsha mansion in their home come from? Where did Ruyun's servants come from? Where did the luxurious food, clothing and expenses come from??"

Wei Zheng's voice was as loud as thunder and his momentum was as strong as a sudden man. The civil servants opposite him subconsciously took a step back.

But Yan Song, who was at the forefront, lowered his head and closed his eyes. Heshen turned around and quietly looked at his fellow disciples.

After a brief loss of consciousness, Luo Longwen came back to his senses, took a step forward angrily, and asked: "Wei Zheng, you always say that you are extremely luxurious in food, clothing and food, but have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"
