Ye An, as a minister of Tianzhang Pavilion, has the right to impeach lawbreakers to a certain extent. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to plead guilty.
There was a sound of needles falling in the Chui Gong Hall, and the civil and military officials in the court looked at Ye An in surprise. Only then did they come to their senses. Perhaps moving Queen Mother Yang out was the real magic touch!
Although the Queen Mother has no real power, the status of the Queen Mother and the Emperor are basically equal in terms of legal rituals. The Emperor is the lord of the world, and the Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother or adoptive mother. Out of filial piety considerations, the Emperor must even obey at certain times.
The Queen Mother's opinion.
Zhao Zhen was now riding a tiger and was unable to get off. When he looked at Ye An in the palace, he realized that his lonely minister was very capable, and he could make his father-in-law unable to escape with just one blow.
"Shizhi Ye, is there any evidence for what you said?"
Ye An was waiting for these words, and immediately bowed and said: "There is evidence that the Imperial City Secretary seized a large number of curios and beautiful ornaments from Yan Wenying's place, and there was also a huge amount of 150,000 yuan, all of which are in the treasury."
There is evidence to prove that the property was either a gift from Mr. Lu or sold at a low price by someone close to Mr. Lu. He also promised to provide official status, witness, physical evidence, and oral testimony, and his adopted son Yan Shiliang was appointed as the emperor.
He entered the medicine hospital to worship and used his power for personal gain. The Imperial City Division found out his crime and took him to prison. He confessed to the crime he committed and asked the officials to make a decision!"
Many things were connected together, which confirmed the collusion between Yan Wenying and Lu Yijian. When Ye An's memorial was handed over, Zhao Zhen's expression changed even more, because the memorial also recorded in detail that Yan Wenying was entrusted by Lu Yijian to secretly monitor the emperor's whereabouts.
And after Chen Tong caught the servant of Ciyuan Hall, he took the initiative to inform Queen Guo of his whereabouts.
The contents of this memorial made Zhao Zhen panic. He did not expect that his trusted husband actually colluded with the servants to deliberately let the queen catch him and Shang Chongyi in the back garden. It was because of this that Queen Guo was so angry that she took action.
Injure yourself accidentally.
For a moment, Zhao Zhen actually felt guilty about Empress Guo, but this guilt was soon replaced by anger. Lu Yijian deliberately gave him advice, and even persuaded himself to remove Kong Daofu and Fan Zhongyan, just because Empress Guo was dismissed.
He was deposed, and what he did was just a word from Empress Guo when she resigned as prime minister.
Most of the records in Ye An's memorial are facts, and everything is evidence-based. But there is only one point where Ye An added speculation and reasonable analysis, and that was Lu Yijian's intention after his abolition. He was full of feelings for Empress Guo.
To get rid of her resentment, only by letting her lose her position as queen can the future troubles be eliminated forever.
Zhao Zhen's face was ashen, but seeing the officials in the court staring at him, he couldn't make a decision for a while. After all, Lu Yijian was the dignified Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, and Ye An impeached him in front of all the civil and military officials.
Slap yourself in the face.
However, after thinking about it, Zhao Zhen also had some concerns. Pulling out Lu Yijian had many benefits. It would not only punish him for colluding with the servants, but also comfort the Qingliu in the court. Perhaps this was his best choice.
Gently closing the memorial, Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said: "I know the whole story, but this matter is very big and I need to think about it carefully. If there is nothing else, Ye Shizhi will leave for now."
"I obey the decree!"
Ye An calmly returned to the horizontal squad, while Lu Yijian came out and said: "The old minister did not collude with the servants to spy on the forbidden behavior. Everything was preyed upon by Yan Wenying. I hope the officials will be clear about it!"
Who is Lu Yijian? The crimes listed by Ye An are all serious crimes, and he cannot admit them no matter what. At this time, he has pushed them all away, and the best solution is to kill him without admitting them.
"Shizhi Ye is young and energetic, and does not think carefully. The so-called personal and material evidence is just that of Yan Wenying. As the saying goes, there are many disputes in front of the prime minister's door, and there are always young people who use the banner of the cabinet to deceive. That's why
I never knew that Yan Wenying was bribed to do something in my name! Convicting me in this way... Haha, it is really a big mistake!"
Ye An left work again, but he did not immediately question Lu Yijian. Instead, he looked at Lu Yijian beside him with a smile and whispered: "Ms. Lu, I'm waiting for the CD. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting to make a fool of yourself?!"
Just when Lu Yijian was stunned, Ye An said loudly: "When I started to report to the officials, Prime Minister Lu also said that I can't believe one side of the story. Can I ask Prime Minister Lu to help the Imperial City Secretary to find out about this matter? If Yan Wen should give in, that would be fine.
Let him give up completely, the laws of the country cannot be broken by those in high positions!"
What a saying, "You cannot be harmed by those with high authority." This sentence was not directed at Yan Wenying but at Lu Yijian in front of him. Even though he was furious in his heart, Lu Yijian still pretended to be calm and composed on the surface.
Only then did everyone realize that Ye An had forced him into a corner. At this time, no matter whether Lu Yijian refused or agreed, there was no way out. Even Zhao Zhen on the throne was surprised to find that all he could do was agree to the matter.
.
Even so, Zhao Zhen could not express his position in court. How many people were watching below? Even if he wanted to investigate, he would have to wait until the dynasty was over before issuing an order. Zhao Zhen deeply hated Lu Yijian's behavior.
The Xianggong has a prominent position in the outer court and is very powerful, but he cannot arbitrarily raise his hand to the palace, especially the matter of Queen Guo. If Lu Yijian really pushed for it, then he would be very embarrassed!
Now that the queen is deposed and cannot be taken back to the palace, she can only wait for the situation to calm down before making any plans. Zhao Zhen winked at Chen Tong beside him.
"Retreat!"
In Chen Tong's sharp voice, Zhao Zhen left quickly. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the people could still have a peaceful New Year, but when they arrived, they were upset and everything was not going well.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhao Zhen didn't even think about changing in the back hall. He walked directly out of the Chui Gong Hall and walked towards the forbidden area. Chen Tong and his servants trotted all the way to catch up. Seeing the official's anxious look, something happened by accident.
Sentence: "Officials, why don't you invite Shizhi Ye to the palace to perform a duet?"
"Are you a pig? Can you invite Ye An into the palace at this time? He is the one who caused the current incident. I asked him to rectify the Imperial City Department and clean up the ban. It would be better for him to find out my husband who has revolted again.
, and got mixed up with that damn Yan Wenying, where does this put my face?! He also invited Empress Dowager Yang to make the decision, and I didn't even have a chance to calm down the matter. Not only did he kill Lieutenant General Lu Yijian in the court
His army has defeated my army!"
The servants in the palace knelt down in fear. They did not dare to speak in the face of the angry officials. Chen Tong said in a pleading voice: "The officials should calm down, the officials should calm down. This slave violated official taboos by being mean-mouthed..."
Zhao Zhen suddenly stood still, looked at Chen Tong and said: "I can't be idle at this time, I know who to look for! Empress Dowager Yang must have a way to control the Kunning Palace, she has always seen through the world."
Chen Tong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What the officials said is true! How could I have never imagined that Empress Dowager Yang had been the late emperor's virtuous concubine for many years, and had also raised the official family for many years, and then she was awarded the title of Crown Princess. The Queen Mother must have
Ruisi helps the officials!"
Zhao Zhen smiled confidently: "What the palace cares about is status. Ye An is looking for Queen Mother Yang for this status. I think you should ask her about everything in the palace."
