Zhou Shaoqing delayed for less than half a month before finally verifying the various charges for Ye Shiming's impeachment. The father and his son had indeed relied on the power of the Cui family to compete for power, but the Cui family had long since cut off contact with the second room of the Ye family and had no knowledge of it.
He is an innocent victim and should not be implicated in this.
As for his occupation of fertile farmland and the detention of refugees, he had nothing to do with the Cui Mansion. On the contrary, he was suspected of assisting Zhou in his evil deeds by paying tribute to Xu Anhao.
Fengli Lang's concubine, Mrs. Ye, was the adopted daughter of Ye Shiming. Fengli Lang Aiwu and Wu respected Ye Shiming very much. They not only rented a house for him, found a husband for the Ye family brothers, but also provided him with a large amount of gold and silver treasures.
The prerequisite for Ye Shiming's crime was the connivance of Feng Lilang, so Xu Anhao was the accomplice in the case.
Zhou Weiran did not mention for the time being what crime Ye Shiming would be sentenced for, or who would be implicated in the Ye family, and deliberately shifted the focus of the conflict during the report to the court, dragging Xu Anhao into the water.
Standing behind Xu Anhao was Feng Shangshu. A low-level official like Xu Anhao had no right to enter the inner palace to participate in government affairs. As soon as he was impeached, Feng Jinqing, the father-in-law, immediately stood up and said, "What Zhou Shaoqing said is wrong.
The son-in-law has a good concubine, Mr. Ye, whose parents are both dead. The sinner Ye Shiming is just her newly recognized adoptive father. He is just used to express her grief. There is no close relationship. How can the son-in-law let him take what he wants?
At that time, the money in the hands of the sinner Ye Shiming was probably given by Mrs. Cui. Everyone in the capital knew that Mrs. Cui's national-colored rouge was sold all over the country and made a lot of money. It would also be the same if a little money leaked from the fingers of the Ye family.
It’s excusable.”
Ye Zhenzhen's rouge business was envied by many people. Now Feng Jinqing took the opportunity and was ridiculed openly and secretly. She was almost said to be competing with the people for profit.
It's a pity that Feng Jinqing underestimated Ye Zhenzhen's good popularity in the court. Cui Weizhen was impeached before, and some people were inconvenient to help him for some reasons. Now that Ye Zhenzhen was brought up for discussion by Feng Jinqing, they had something to say.
The first is General Zhao Cunying. Because of their previous experience and friendship with Qingyun Mansion, he has special respect for Mrs. Cui, a woman who is not inferior to men. In addition, his wife has a good relationship with him. At this time, he took the initiative to stand up and fight with Feng Jin.
Sir, I have theorized.
"Feng Shangshu doesn't know anything. The suspects, Ye Shiming and his family, stole the Cui Mansion's money. Mrs. Cui has cut off contact with them, so naturally she will not give them any more money."
He continued: "Although Mrs. Cui's Mantingfang is very profitable, it also plays a huge role in resettling orphans and widows in society. The ministers only know that Mrs. Cui's club provides livelihood for the orphans and widows of the Salesian Hospital in the capital, but they do not know that Cui
The rouge shops and shops opened by my wife in various prefectures and counties would give priority to young men and women from the local Salesian Home as waiters. This move saved many lonely and helpless people, and solved many potential problems for the imperial court.
Unstable factors, how can such a benevolent and virtuous woman allow her relatives to bully others and oppress the people?"
General Zhu Mingyu also spoke up and said: "Your Majesty, if what General Zhao said is true, Mrs. Cui's biological parents have to set up a stall to support the family, how can she support an uncle with whom she is not related? The suspect Ye Shiming should not be blamed for his crimes.
On Mrs. Cui."
These two generals were just the beginning. After her, a group of civil and military officials came out to plead for Ye Zhenzhen. Not only Zhou Shaoqing and Feng Shangshu were shocked, but even Emperor Xuanwu was shocked.
What is the charm of Cui Aiqing’s wife?
King Aizike was so confused because of her that he didn't say anything. Why did all the civil and military ministers in his dynasty speak for her one after another, as if they were possessed by a poison?
