"Qian Boyang, the imperial censor, is impeaching the cabinet scholar Li Xiuxian."
As soon as he came to court, the censor stood up and the first sentence was impeachment.
But this time, it was the top leader of the Yushitai who personally came forward to impeach, and it was no longer Qin Shiyi, the number one troll in the Yushitai.
"I haven't seen Lao Qin for a long time, and I'm still a little used to it." Some people felt awkward.
"If something big happens, Qian Boyang has never been involved in factions. If he comes forward in person, it will be official. This is probably His Majesty's intention..."
"No need to ask, His Majesty must be cleaning up the cabinet."
The ministers already knew that this day would eventually come.
Because the king of Wei is finished.
In the past few days, the close relationship between Li Xiuxian and the King of Wei had already spread like wildfire, and was widely circulated within the official circles.
Many people understand that it is only a matter of time before Lee Soo-hyun is finished.
But what disappointed some people was that after the fall of King Wei, Li Xiuxian did not resign himself.
"What is the crime that Qian Qing wants to impeach Li Xiuxian?" Sitting high in the clouds, Xiao Pingsi asked calmly.
Li Xiuxian looked sideways at Qian Boyang, and their eyes clashed for a moment.
After the fall of King Wei, Li Xiuxian was a little worried, but he was lucky and felt that the affairs with King Wei were very confidential and would not be leaked.
Moreover, he is careful in doing things, so even if he is suspected, there will be no real evidence.
A cabinet bachelor is not a small official who can be manipulated at will.
Even if His Majesty wants to deal with it, it must be justified and there must be evidence and guilt.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Academician Li has a good relationship with His Highness the King of Wei. He has a close relationship with the King of Wei on weekdays. It is rumored that he deliberately screened the memorials in the cabinet and kept all the memorials that were not conducive to the King of Wei, deliberately not to...
…”
"This is a secret operation to deceive the Holy Spirit. It cannot be forgiven easily. Your Majesty, please investigate clearly and discuss the crime and punish it!"
Qian Boyang was prepared, but he did not produce any evidence, which disappointed many people.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
Li Xiuxian immediately left the office and pointed at Qian Boyang: "What is the reason for Yushitai to slander important officials of the imperial court at will!?"
He looked at Zhuge Qingshan, the chief minister of the cabinet, with hope in his eyes.
I am a member of the cabinet. As the chief minister, don't you defend me?
But Zhuge Qingshan only glanced at Li Xiuxian, gave him a sneer, and said nothing more.
Zhuge Qingshan knew about King Wei's crime. King Wei confessed to this crime when he was in front of the emperor. You, Li Xiuxian, are still here pretending to be innocent with me?
Moreover, why did Qian Boyang suddenly attack? Zhuge Qingshan also had a clear conscience, so it was naturally impossible for him to defend Li Xiuxian.
Instead, he went out and said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet has indeed never received any memorial to impeach or report the faults of His Highness the King of Wei."
This time, beat him to death in front of his face!
As the second-in-command of the cabinet, Li Xiuxian had done it first even for the memorial that Zhuge Qingshan had read.
It is easy to make troubles and filter out.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhuge Qingshan said this, Li Xiuxian's face changed drastically: "Master Chief Assistant, you!"
Zhuge Qingshan slowly accepted the gift and returned it to the cabinet.
Yan Neng and other cabinet ministers all rolled their eyes, and no one said a word for Li Xiuxian.
"oh?"
Xiao Pingsi said coldly: "How can King Wei be so upright in his daily behavior? He doesn't even have an impeachment memorial?"
This strange sentence expressed the emperor's position.
Without an impeachment memorial, this would be impossible!
The censor, local officials, or bachelors within the cabinet can submit memorials to impeach officials.
The King of Wei is not a virtuous person. He and the King of Qi are usually a pair of dandies. He is also very famous in the capital, but he has not been impeached by the Ministry of Rites or the Yushitai?
Impossible.
Unless it's filtered out.
And such a trivial matter was not expected to work, so it is not surprising that there is no follow-up.
But it is impossible to say that the cabinet did not see the bullets, unless someone deliberately removed the bullets.
Since Li Xiuxian did this, then this is not just a matter of close relationship with King Wei.
You, Li Xiuxian, did you only screen out the memorials that were detrimental to the King of Wei? What about the memorials that were detrimental to you? What about the memorials that were detrimental to your family?
If you can do it once, there is no bottom line. You must have done something to deceive the saints.
Maybe next time I report to the border, you will dare to stop me?
Such people must not be tolerated, which is why Qian Boyang is launching an attack today.
As an emperor, it is a basic skill to sit high in the clouds, watch factional struggles, and check and balance the court. But to fight to this extent is already a taboo.
Lee Soo Hyun must leave the cabinet!
"Your Majesty..." Li Xiuxian trembled, and after hearing what His Majesty meant, he was already inclined to take him down.
I immediately regretted why I didn't submit my resignation as soon as possible, so that I wouldn't have ended up like this.
The cabinet bachelor really has too much power, and Li Xiuxian can't let go of it.
But what Li Xiuxian didn't know was that Xiao Pingsi had been waiting for him for a long time!
Ever since King Wei confessed, some rumors began to circulate, and it was impossible for Li Xiuxian not to know about it. But now, more than five days have passed since King Wei's interrogation, and Li Xiuxian has not taken the initiative to resign.
I've given you a chance to be decent. Since you don't want to be decent, then I'll let you be decent!
Ignoring Li Xiuxian, Xiao Pingsi looked at the cabinet and the Xuanjian Division: "Chief Assistant, Sword Master?"
Zhuge Qingshan and Xie Qi set off.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Pingsi said calmly: "I believe Qian Qing has always been prudent and will not wrongly accuse people. This case will be jointly investigated by the Xuanjian Division and the cabinet. No matter who is involved, they will be dealt with according to the laws of Daxia and will not be tolerated!"
"According to the order!" After Zhuge Qingshan and Xie Qi accepted the order, they each retreated.
"hiss!"
Hearing His Majesty say this, the courtiers were all frightened, as they were going to play big this time.
He immediately looked at Li Xiuxian angrily and coldly.
"Your Majesty..." Li Xiuxian opened his mouth, but still did not admit his mistake immediately, and there was still a trace of luck in his heart.
Even the Xuanjian Division cannot find evidence...
…
After the dynasty ended, Li Xiuxian sat in a sedan chair in a daze and was stopped as soon as he left the palace gate.
"Master Li, please get off the sedan." The soldiers of the Xuanjian Division stopped at the door.
Xie Qi also rode up and stopped outside the sedan: "Master Li, please come with us."
"Walk?"
As the sedan fell down, Li Xiuxian stuck his head out of the window and said with a serious expression: "Xie Qi, even if His Majesty orders you to file a case, you can still treat me so poorly. You want to arrest me without any evidence?"
Xie Qi sneered: "Why do you think Qian Boyang dared to attack and point his sword at the cabinet?"
"As soon as you went out this morning, I, the Xuanjian Division, searched your residence and found the cabinet memorial that was supposed to be sent to Datian... Can I go to the Xuanjian Division and explain it to you?"
"What?" Li Xiuxian trembled. He was anxious to go back just to destroy the evidence, but he didn't expect that he had already been prejudged.
Lee Xiuxian did not destroy those memorials, but he was afraid that people would point out that the memorials were missing. He could then show them and say that they were missing somewhere in the cabinet...
But now it has been obtained by the Hanging Sword Division. This is conclusive evidence!
"How dare the Secretary of the Hanging Sword to search the palace of the Cabinet Master without permission, Xie Qi! You are too courageous!" Li Xiuxian was filled with shame and anger, and was already confused.
Xie Qi was disdainful. It’s now this time and you still don’t understand who means this?
"Since Mr. Li's legs are weak and he can't walk, then help him... drag him back for me!" Xie Qi said coldly.
"Yes!" Two soldiers from the Xuanjian Division stepped forward, but Li Xiuxian's men did not dare to stop them at all and retreated one after another.
Li Xiuxian was dragged out of the sedan by two people. He was still struggling and looked extremely embarrassed.
Many officials' horses and sedans passed by, and they all shook their heads when they saw this.
"As an official in the same dynasty, why do you need to be like this, sir? Please give me some dignity." An official seemed to feel sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead, and he advised me as he passed by.
Xie Qi had no choice but to smile back: "I wouldn't give him dignity unless I did. It's because Lord Li can't see the current situation too clearly. Colleagues, I, the Xuanjian Division, have proven evidence, and we are not taking people for no reason."
"Let's go, let's go..."
Hearing that the Xuanjian Division had obtained the evidence, all the officials present stopped talking and immediately ordered people to leave at a fast pace.
It's just after the end of the dynasty, and you got the evidence. The speed is incredible. You must have already investigated clearly before launching the attack.
Moreover, there must be His Majesty’s approval!
They didn't want to be thought that they had any friendship with Li Xiuxian. If they were investigated together, it would be an unjust death.
