No matter how warm and affectionate the Cui family is, they can't stop the uproar in the capital caused by Cui Weizhen's return to the capital.
On that day, Cui Weizhen handed over the greeting card in the morning and was summoned to the palace by the Holy Emperor in the afternoon. The conversation between the monarch and his ministers was not known to outsiders, but everyone who stared at the palace saw that Cui Weizhen came out of the palace safe and sound.
Shi Yan, the prefect of Qingyun Prefecture, has been secretly imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and Cui Weizhen, who was under impeachment, was not dismissed from office and showed no signs of being reprimanded after he met with the Holy See. Some people with a keen sense of smell have already vaguely noticed the Holy See's attitude.
Many officials who followed the trend and impeached him secretly regretted it, while those close to Cui Weizhen were overjoyed. Cui Weizhen's junior brother Wang Yuxuan was a good person. Despite his young age, he had no political acumen at all because of his good father.
Gao, when he met Cui Weizhen at the palace gate, he congratulated him for the first time.
Although the two are at odds with each other, in terms of big rights and wrongs, the relationship between the two brothers is mutually prosperous and mutually destructive.
Compared with Wang Yuxuan's keenness, Zhou Xunting seems silly and sweet.
This boy showed no sign of the stability and reserve of an official. As soon as he came out of the Shenwu Sect, he jumped up and down like a monkey out of his cage. He happily circled around his friend who had been away for many days, sometimes patting him on the shoulder, and sometimes hugging him.
His shoulders were first concerned about his physical condition, and then he remembered to ask: "Weizhen, did you go to the palace to plead guilty today? Has His Majesty pardoned you?"
Shenwu Street was full of civil and military officials from the lower government offices. Everyone pricked up their ears to eavesdrop. Cui Weizhen seemed unaware and said with a normal expression: "No, Your Majesty ordered me to file a memorial tomorrow morning to defend myself."
Zhou Xunting was a little short-sighted and immediately became worried: "What should we do? Shi Yan supports the crowd and will defend himself in court tomorrow morning. You are afraid that you will be attacked by a group of people. It seems that you have to find someone to speak for you!"
The little Hanlin was not qualified to attend the court meeting. Zhou Xunting was already selecting candidates in his mind. Of course, his father was put first.
Zhou Xunting's father, Zhou Weiran, the young minister of Dali Temple, was also a member of the eavesdropping party. After hearing what his silly son said, he felt bad.
Colleagues gave him looks of pity or comfort one after another. He could only show an embarrassed but polite smile, but he was cursing in his heart - how could he have given birth to such an idiot!
If you engage in a series of connections in public, is it because you dislike the position under your butt that is too secure?
Time to go home and spank the kids!
Zhou Weiran was so angry that he vomited blood in his heart. Cui Weizhen was speechless for a while after hearing his friend's words, and had to give a subtle reminder: "I don't need support."
Because His Majesty believed in him.
If at first everyone still misunderstood the emperor's meaning, thinking that the Holy Lord summoned Cui Weizhen back to Beijing to plead guilty, but now that he saw him coming out of the palace safe and sound, everyone should understand.
They were fooled!
His Majesty asked Cui Weizhen to return to Beijing to plead guilty. It was a lie, but he was probably asking for merit. That Magistrate Shi, who has been imprisoned and has not been visited until now, may have some astonishing value!
Officials who had not waded into troubled waters could still remain calm, but the people of King Ke's group were panicked. Their massive impeachment did not discredit Cui Weizhen's image in the imperial court, but instead exposed Cui Weizhen as a clique and private person. He had already lost his sacred heart.
Prince Ke’s Mansion, I’m afraid it’s going to be even worse!
