Everyone looked towards Cui Weizhen, including King Ke.
King Ke was released from prison not long ago, and he had not gone to court for a long time because of his great loss of face. But today he came, and looked at Cui Weizhen with a cold and cold look, which made people feel cold.
Cui Weizhen seemed unaware, holding a jade tablet in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Rong Bing, I was ordered to go to Lingnan to build an academy. When I arrived at Qingyun Mansion, I was attacked by black-clothed bandits. The bandits were well-armed and well-trained, which is unusual.
A reckless person. After escaping death, Wei Chen began a secret investigation, and finally found evidence that the gangsters had colluded with Shi Yan, the prefect of Qingyun Prefecture. Wei Chen followed the situation urgently to prevent the news from leaking, and with the help of General Deng and General Zhu
, quickly took control of Magistrate Shi, and conducted a search on the magistrate's office, and finally found the letters hidden in the secret room, thus learning the mastermind behind everything."
Having said this, Cui Weizhen's voice paused, and the eunuch next to him who had been prepared glanced at the emperor on the throne. After receiving permission, he walked to the civil and military officials holding the letter and began to circulate it from front to back.
These are all correspondence between the prefect Shi Yan and the robber in black and the nobleman Fu Sheng in the capital. The letters are full of conspiracies and conspiracies, all of which are trying to put Cui Weizhen to death. Everyone who reads them is frightened and stunned.
The first one was because of the blatantness and viciousness of the thief, and the second one was because it had affected King Ke at this time. Although Fu Sheng was not well-known, everyone present was not well-informed, and they all knew that this person was a member of King Ke's family.
So, the man behind the murder of Secretary Cui was King Ke? Considering that he wanted to do something inappropriate to his wife when the life or death of Secretary Cui was uncertain, it seems easy to understand.
Some people saw this murder as a battle between love and affection, but more people saw it as a partisan dispute, or even a battle for the right to inherit the rightful son.
Cui Weizhen was not only a favorite of the emperor, but also had close contacts with the King of Wei. As long as the academy was successfully completed, both Cui Weizhen and the King of Wei, the two heroes who supervised the construction, would have a greatly increased prestige. King Ke and his party would not be willing to see this result.
, eradicating dissidents becomes the best choice...
All kinds of speculative gazes came to him, and even the emperor on the throne looked over. His majestic eyes were frightening. King Ke finally knelt down and said expressionlessly: "My minister's inability to serve me has led to misfortune."
Sheng abused his public power for personal gain and attempted to murder an official of the imperial court. I can't help but blame him, so I ask my father to punish me."
These words seemed to be an apology, but in fact they were a shirk of responsibility and removed him from the murder. However, no one could accuse him of quibbling, because there was no direct evidence that King Ke was behind the scenes in the evidence presented by Cui Weizhen.
Black hand.
Because it was always his disciple Fu Sheng who came forward.
Cui Weizhen and King Wei had known this result, so they were not disappointed, because they were not in a hurry to overthrow King Ke, and they cared more about the Sacred Heart.
It was obvious that King Ke had lost his Sacred Heart again.
Emperor Xuanwu, who was sitting high, could not hide the disappointment in his eyes. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already indifferent and ruthless. Shi Yan and Fu Sheng were dismissed from their offices, their homes were confiscated and exiled. The officials who had previously been involved in the impeachment of Cui Weizhen were demoted, and were dismissed.
No one was left behind, and everyone was punished.
All the civil and military officials were sweating coldly and kept silent. Suddenly they realized that the Holy Emperor had already known about this so-called lawsuit. He had been watching from the sidelines until now, just waiting for everyone to take the stage.
The previous dismissal was enough to make people frightened, but Emperor Xuanwu's subsequent promotion was even more shocking - he promoted Cui Weizhen to the rank of Minister of Household Affairs of the fourth rank!
From the sixth rank of the Secretary of the Household Department to the fourth rank of the Minister of the Household Affairs Bureau, he completed a four-level leap in one fell swoop. Most officials could not complete the promotion in a lifetime, but Cui Weizhen achieved it in just one year!
