Chapter 380

On that night, the official residences in Kyoto were completely lit up, and one "bad news" came one after another: Minister of industry Xu Zheng, Minister of arms Wang Zhonglu, supervisor of Wuku under the jurisdiction of Weiwei temple, supervisor of dayingku under Taifu temple, supervisor of Shaofu supervision department, supervisor of weaving and dyeing department, and supervisor of military weapons department

The sound of horse's feet on the street is endless. Officials from the Ministry of punishment and Dali temple are busy. They hear that one official after another has been arrested. All officials in Kyoto are in a panic and can't sleep.

Until the next morning, the Minister of the Ministry of household and several old generals were summoned to investigate. The panic of the ministers suddenly reached the extreme. Then the imperial edict of arresting Xun Guogong almost scared the eyes of the ministers.

Before all the officials could find out exactly what caused such a stir, Mo Pingchu's direct testimony and witnesses convicted the case in court.

It turns out that there are people selling weapons to the enemy country secretly. It turns out that there are people who have ulterior motives to harm the country. But that person is not Mo Taiwu, but Wang Zhonglu, the Minister of the Ministry of war, and Xu Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of industry. They are Zhang Zhou, the famous Minister of the state of honor.

Zhang Zhou, the Duke of the state of Xun, was born in a humble family and engaged in farming. When the former Emperor started his army, he followed him around and fought for several years. He won the trust of the former Emperor and was awarded the title of Duke of the state of Xun for his outstanding military achievements. Although Zhang Zhou was not as aloof as Xing Guogong, he was also the most serious one in the court. His son married Xie Taishi's niece and was related to Xie family by marriage.

The evidence of Zhang Zhou's crime is clear, and the emperor is very angry. Even if Zhang Zhou is sentenced to beheading, his family will be exiled, and his children will not be employed for life.

The emperor's iron hand in dealing with Zhang Zhou shocked the officials, but then the emperor ordered to behead Zhang Zhou, the Minister of Xun state, Xu Zheng, the Minister of industry, and Wang Zhonglu, the Minister of war, and cut off the positions of 19 officials involved in the case, which made the officials even more frightened.

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty finally understood what the emperor's anger was and what thunder was. There has never been such a large-scale severe punishment of officials since the founding of the Xia Dynasty.

This time, without Mo Pingchu playing again, those officials who were afraid that they would be involved all pointed at master Xie, and the memorial of impeachment flew to the emperor's desk like snow flakes. Xie Taishi, who has retired and resigned, wrote a statement, claiming that he had no idea what Xun Guogong had done. He asked the third division to make a detailed investigation of his affairs during his term of office. Princess Xie greets the emperor every day when she takes the second prince and the third princess with her. Although she doesn't ask for the favor of master Xie, her attitude is clearly that she hopes that the emperor will show his respect to master Xie in the face of the two children.

In the meditation room, Mo Pingchu and Li Heng sit face to face drinking tea. Li Heng takes up the cup of tea and sips it. He says in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that at this point, he would leave room for the Xie family. He let the Xie family go so easily."

Mo Pingchu took a look at Li Heng, and knew that Li Heng was dissatisfied with the emperor for just scolding Xie Taishi for not observing his actions and not really punishing the Xie family. He patiently explained: "the emperor's move was expected. Xie Taishi has resigned, Xie jiafengmang has done everything. The second prince is still young. The emperor will never deal with Xie family, so that the second prince has no mother family to rely on."

"Yes, he'll always plan for it." Li Heng's lips flashed a hint of sarcasm and raised his tea cup to cover it inadvertently.

Mo Pingchu secretly shakes his head in his heart. Li Heng can't be more cold-blooded on weekdays, but when he comes across something related to the Xie family and the second prince, he is a little aggressive. Mo Pingchu, who was deeply aware of Li Heng's dissatisfaction with the emperor and had been worried about the relationship between his father and his son, said: "the Xie family has a deep foundation in the court. Although many officials have been dealt with in this way, the only one who can really shake the court is Xun Guogong. The war in Northern Xinjiang is not over yet. At this moment, if the emperor is desperate to uproot the Xie family, it will be too reckless and the gain is not worth the loss. "

"You sound more and more like a man!"

"I was taught by my grandfather. What's so strange about old people like him? It's you who can find out the truth and bring down Lord Xun. You've made great efforts. Why do you let me out of the limelight and hide behind? Don't you want to show the civil and martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty the means of the prince? "“ It's easy to hide a gun in the open, but hard to defend it in the dark. If I don't show my face, I'll have the advantage of not showing my face. If I had been in the open, I wouldn't have hit so easily this time. "

"That's right!" Mo Pingchu smiles and raises his tea cup to give Li Heng a salute. Li Heng hooks the corner of his lips in return to Mo Pingchu. They look at each other with a smile, which is very tacit.

Li Heng gently put down the tea cup and asked Mo Pingchu, "the moth has been pulled out. You can also open your hand to show your great plans. Are you ready to stay in the Quartermaster prison again?"

Mo Pingchu shook his head and said, "even if I want to stay, they won't let me stay."

"Which yamen are you going to?"

"Naturally, it's the Ministry of war. Some things can only be started when they are in the Ministry of war. The war in Northern Xinjiang has been delayed long enough. I can't wait!"

"May all your wishes come true!"

"Thank you very much."

In August, the emperor ruled out the public opinion and appointed Mo Pingchu as the Minister of the Ministry of war. Because of the temporary vacancy of the Minister of the Ministry of war, Mo Pingchu, though the Minister of the Ministry of war, actually took charge of the real power of the Ministry of war and became the youngest person in charge of the six ministries in the history of the Xia Dynasty.

Mo Taiwu cleared up the suspicion, and the government of Xing state recovered its innocence. Mo Pingchu was in power, and he ordered the northern army to fight in Northern Xinjiang. And all this in the eyes of small nine, but it seems particularly absurd, as if overnight, those who had been unable to avoid you suddenly rushed to paste up, the inexplicable intimacy and warmth of small nine do not adapt from head to foot.

Xiao Jiu is better. After all, she only goes back and forth between Xing Guogong and Xu Jiayuan every day. When she goes out on horseback, she can just say hello when she meets an acquaintance. Mo Pingfang and Mo Pingxian are suffering. Those who are too learned and don't know all rush up to make up with each other and try to please them. Mo Pingfang doesn't want to go to school.

When Li Heng heard what Xiao Jiu said, he couldn't help laughing and said, "it's human instinct to go after the crowd. It will be fine in a few days."

"Small nine frown don't understand a way:" don't pass some time everybody won't be like this? "

"That's not true. People are like this day by day. Your brothers will get used to it sooner or later. If they get used to it, they will be fine." Li Heng said seriously, but Xiaojiu laughed after hearing it. She never thought that her elder brother would make fun of him.

Li Heng looks at Xiaojiu, who is smiling but has no image. Time is really a good thing. It can not only heal the scars, but also make people recover.
