Chapter 172

The tree fell and the money scattered. Xie Zhongren's decline, and Yan Zilian died of illness one day, dragging his entire party into the abyss.

The interrogation of Xie Zhongren is still underway, and the liquidation of the eunuch party has been laid out in the capital and the local government at the same time. The gentry who were persecuted three years ago and bullied to this day fought back, impeachment and reproach memorials flew into the capital like snowflakes every day. A wall was piled up on the documents of Wenyuan Pavilion, and countless people were waiting for the emperor to review.

Emperor Zhaowu was inseparable from the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor. He intended to bring Yu Ji up, but Yu Ji was illiterate and could not find a suitable candidate for a while. So he summoned the prince Chen Chun, who had already begun to participate in politics, and shared the burden for him, so he was able to breathe a sigh of relief from this anxious government affairs.

This was not in accordance with the law, but now no one has the heart to care about this. The court is about to get into chaos. The eunuchs and the gentry attacked each other, as if they were back three years ago overnight.

Meng Duo knew that the internal and external troubles were at this time and the court was in chaos. After discussing with several important officials, he advised Emperor Zhaowu together, only punishing the number of first criminals, and many officials who threatened to follow him did not punish him for the time being. This move was to consider the overall situation first, and to win people's hearts. Third, the handles of these officials were in their hands in the future, so they could be controlled at will without worrying about losing power.

Power is such a thing. It is not in your hands, but in my hands. Even if you just grab a tail, you will try your best to catch more. Once you hold on, you will not let go even if you die.

For an emperor like Emperor Zhaowu who had been lazy for decades, he had been tortured enough. When he heard that these ministers were right, he would not agree. He happily agreed and praised them for their understanding of the general situation.

Since he never asked about the threat, the first criminal would have to be severely punished. Dali Temple arrested twenty-nine backbone members of the eunuch party, including twelve people in Beijing and seventeen people in the local area. If the crimes of these people were confirmed, they would be all death sentences according to the law. Xie Zhongren even convicted Lingchi of the Yi tribe.

Since Yan Sikong provided enough evidence, the three courts should take what they should take and what they should be tried, and quickly cut off the mess and put a large group of eunuchs to prison.

But the Guangning case that Yan Sikong was most concerned about was not satisfied with him. The case was one because it was a long time ago, and the other was that Han Zhaoxing had not been brought to justice and could not be interrogated. Although Zhao Fuyi had already explained the situation to Emperor Zhaowu according to Yan Sikong's instructions, he had never seen it himself and could not be used as a certificate. Yan Sikong still dared not take out the confession letter that Ge Zhong was forced to cover before his death. In Xie Zhongren's case, "Yan Sikong" was already famous all over the world. The old people in Liaodong back then may still remember his name. If he took out Ge Zhong's confession letter at this time, he would not be able to explain the source of the book, but would reveal that he was too concerned about the Guangning case. If someone investigated it, he could turn his identity into the sky.

So he could only hold it in his hands for the time being. When he really held the power, he must let the whole world know who defended Guangning and Liaodong back then.

Although the court was in chaos these days, good news came from the border. General Zhao Fuyi blocked Zhuo Letai and won the first battle. Although it was only temporarily retreating to the enemy, it was already the only good news in the dying Liaodong in recent years.

At this time, the eunuch party was exhausted, but because his crimes were too numerous to write, they were too involved, and they were too broad. The three courts handled the cases day and night, and they had to be tried clearly. I was afraid that it would take at least one or two years. Emperor Zhaowu finally had a rest, and came back to his senses and remembered the Fengye.

At this time, Fengye had already led his army to advance from Huguang to the northwest. Most of his marchs were in Qianzhou Prefecture, where the terrain was dangerous, with poor mountains and rivers, and mostly barren lands. He had no resistance. Fengye was in full swing, and it was only a matter of time before he arrived in Hetao.

The court was not worried that he would take Hetao. Originally, Hetao was barely taken back after the defeat of the Ola, but there were mixed up with barbarians and summer, and the years of turmoil, and the people who were responsible could not survive, let alone clearing up wasteland and growing grain. The significance to the court was far less than that of decades ago. Even if Fengye took Hetao, he could only get good war horses, which was not scary. What was really terrible was that Hetao bordered Datong Prefecture. The Datong Army was once the old subordinate of Feng Jianping. If Fengye lured surrender and said that he surrendered to the Datong Army, he would have the power to subvert a dynasty.

At this time, the dangers in Liaodong were temporarily suspended, and the case of the eunuch party needed to be discussed for a long time. Emperor Zhaowu naturally began to worry about the rebellion of the Wolf King.

Zhao Fuyi had already secretly submitted a letter to recommend Yan Sikong to be a lobbyist, Zhu Lanting, who had been promoted to commander of the garrison army, also made several comments. In addition, Princess Wanyang ran to the palace without a head for three days and begged Emperor Zhaowu to release Yan Sikong. Emperor Zhaowu had a prejudice against Yan Sikong because of Xie Zhongren's incident, but looking at Wanyang's "bulging" belly, he had no choice but to attract Meng Duo to discuss what Yan Sikong should do.

Meng Duo had just asked Emperor Zhaowu to pardon a group of Xie Zhongren's followers. Yan Sikong's crimes were not to die, and he was also listed here. Naturally, he did a favor and suggested that he cut his posts and pay his salary or demoted him to the local area for a few years.

Emperor Zhaowu proposed at the right time to demote Yan Sikong from the third-rank right assistant minister of the Ministry of War to the seventh-rank inspector and censor, and handed over to Hetao to the Hetao to surrender to the cemetery.

Meng Duo did not know that it was amazing and did not realize that it was inappropriate, so the matter was settled like this, just like Yan Sikong's plan.

After being detained for more than a month, Yan Sikong received his own verdict and paid a very small price in his opinion, so he was able to return home. Because of Meng Duo's care, he suffered no crime in prison except the ten whips, but he was unable to rest assured day and night, worried, and lost a lot of weight.

Despite the dangers, he was not very sure. He was worried every day, fearing that everything would fall into the past when he woke up, but in the end he won. Xie Zhongren was waiting for his own judgment in prison. He was revenge and pulled out the poison that had been planted in Dasheng for 30 years!

He finally deserves the utmost as his biological parents, adoptive father, brother, and mentor who died with hatred. He was finally able to take down the burden he had carried for half his life to do what he really wanted to do.

He is going to meet Fengye. After three years, he is finally going to meet Fengye. He will spend the rest of his life to realize the ambitions he and the young man in Fengye!
