Turbulent Times Chapter 785: Impeachment

Dazheng Palace, Yang Guang convened three provinces and six ministries to discuss various matters concerning the relocation of the capital. , this process cannot be completed within a few years.

In fact, the plan given by the Ministry of Industry is that it will take at least five years, but Yang Guang can't wait that long. He needs a year to build a capital city in Luoyang, but how is this possible, even if he is tired Tens of thousands of civilian laborers died, and a capital city could not be built in a year. Finally, under the explanation and persuasion of the important ministers of various ministries, Yang Guang changed the time to three years, but Yang Guang was still not very satisfied with this.

At this time, an **** quietly walked in from the side of the hall and whispered a few words in Yang Guang's ear.

After Yang Guang was stunned, he waved his hand: "Show them in!"

More than a dozen important officials were full of doubts in their hearts. When they turned their heads to look, they saw several people walking in from outside the hall.

Yang Guang looked at them: "What's the matter, Zhu Qing?"

"Zhang Qide, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, impeached King Junlin of Qin'an County for trespassing, obstructing the Ministry of Criminal Justice's handling of the case!" Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

When Zhang Qide finished speaking, several people stood up again. The Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, and several censors listed several crimes against King Junlin of Qin'an County, and vividly described the arrogance and arrogance of the Lanyiwei Mansion. It aroused the resonance of more than a dozen important ministers present.

On the court hall, the Minister of Rites, who had just learned about this, stood up immediately and said: "Your Majesty, the trial of cases has always been a matter for the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. How dare the Lanyiwei Mansion disturb the judiciary? I hope that your Majesty Severe punishment!"

At the same time, several other censors strongly condemned and solemnly protested the actions of King Junlin of Qin'an County and the Lanyiwei Mansion, talking about the independence of the judiciary. How arrogant is it to rob people? In this case, what's the use of the Ministry of Punishment, what's the use of the law!

The sudden appearance of a blue-clothed guard mansion is equivalent to hanging a knife over their heads. The courtiers have long been extremely dissatisfied. The people who did this had expected it a long time ago, so the fact that the son of Li Chengfeng, the minister of the Ministry of War, was poisoned was just an introduction to them. What they want more at this moment is to reduce the authority of the Lanyiwei Mansion. It is obviously impossible to die. Of course, if it goes well, there will be a series of plans in the future, which will be a combination punch.

Yang Guang frowned when he heard the words. The Lanyiwei Mansion is a powerful institution that belongs to him. Although he gave them a high level of authority, it has not reached the point of abuse. His approval, otherwise Wang Junlin would not dare to do so.

Before Wang Junlin entered the palace, he said that there was a case that needed to be taken over from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This time, Wang Junlin solved the matter of moving the capital beautifully, and also severely damaged the Guanlong clan, so he agreed without asking. deeds, and sent for his oral message. From the present point of view, this matter may not be simple, so why Wang Junlin brought someone directly from the Ministry of Punishment, he does not care, what he cares about at the moment is the specific matters of this case.

Kyoto is at the foot of the emperor. In the entire Sui Dynasty, there was no place more stable than this place. In the past, there were very few homicide cases. The son of an imperial court official was poisoned and killed.

"Where is Wang Junlin, let him enter the palace!" Yang Guang said in a deep voice.

"The minister is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared outside the hall.

Neither the courtiers standing nor Yang Guang thought that when everyone was impeaching him in the hall, he was actually listening outside the hall. The powers and responsibilities of the Wei Mansion are Wang Junlin himself's reputation as a sinister and poisonous person. If it is not necessary, even the important ministers of the three provinces and six ministries do not want to offend him!

"Wang Aiqing, did you hear what the minister impeached you just now?" Yang Guang looked at him and asked.

Wang Junlin said respectfully: "I have heard it."

Yang Guang asked again: "Then do you have something to say?"

"I have something to say." Wang Junlin cleared his throat and said, "In the capital, murdering the relatives of the court officials is such a bad act. If the murderer is not caught, what is the majesty of the court, and what is the majesty of Your Majesty? How can I give an explanation to the people of Kyoto?"

"The Lanyiwei Mansion eats the emperor's salary, and shares the worries for the emperor. In order not to waste time and delay the best time to handle the case, the minister entered the palace to report to His Majesty, and at the same time, he immediately sent people to investigate..."

The servant of the Criminal Department stood up and immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is the responsibility of the Criminal Department to investigate the case. The Lanyiwei Mansion is trespassing and deceiving the emperor. Please be aware of it."

"I have already approved this matter, so it is not considered overstepping..." Yang Guang said, his voice suddenly turned gloomy: "And such a serious case, I will definitely investigate it strictly!"

I didn't expect Yang Guang to be so biased towards himself, Wang Junlin was a little surprised. In history, as long as Yang Guang favored the last courtier, he would often disregard the etiquette and court guidelines. The Yuwen family even sold weapons to the opponent during the Great Sui war with the Turks. Yang Guang was able to forgive such things, and now Wang Junlin was favored by Yang Guang, but he only intervened in a case of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, such trivial matters were naturally nothing.

The Minister of Punishment Zhang Shilang was also taken aback, but he didn't expect Yang Guang to be so blatantly biased against Wang Junlin. It seems that impeachment of the other party is somewhat impossible, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Return to Your Majesty, investigations have always been a matter of the Criminal Department , The name of the Lanyiwei Mansion is not correct, your Majesty should respect the system of decency and ancestors, and the judiciary must not be messed up!"

Wang Junlin shook his head, and said sarcastically, "Has the Ministry of Criminal Justice ever handled a major case? More than half of the ten cases were unjust, false and wrongly decided, and they dare to say that the judiciary cannot be messed up."

Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly became angry, but his face turned red, but he didn't know how to explain.

When the Blue Yiwei Mansion was first built, Wang Junlin wanted to find out how many evil things the various powerful families had done in the capital over the years, so that they could be sorted out and ready to be handed over to Yang Guang at any time. As a result, after being approved by Yang Guang, Wang Junlin sent Xu Jingzong to take people to review the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I don’t know how many old unjust, false and wrong cases were discovered. Please resign, I am afraid that part of the reason is that I feel ashamed to see others.

Zhang Qide finally gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, this case cannot be handed over to the Lanyiwei Mansion, because Wang Junlin has a very close relationship with the woman involved in the case. In order to avoid suspicion, please re-transfer this case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If the case is clarified and the murderer is found, this case will never become an unjust, false or wrongly decided case.”
