"Your Majesty, Yue Ruzhang is the younger brother of this minister after all. Even though this minister is extremely cruel, he still cannot make up his mind."
Yue Hezhang also said helplessly and aggrieved.
"Then how do you solve this matter?"
Emperor Guangxiao asked Xiang Yue Hezhang.
"My humble servant implores the emperor to deal with it fairly!"
Yue Hezhang said.
"Okay, since you said that, you can't blame me. Yue Ruzhang confiscated all his family property and distributed it to his family, how about it?" Emperor Guangxiao asked Yue Hezhang.
"Weichen has no objection!"
Yue Hezhang said.
This is already the best result, as long as life can be saved, it is better than anything else, and the money is nothing but foreign things.
"good!"
Emperor Guangxiao was very satisfied with Yue Hezhang's attitude.
"As for you? If you say that this matter has nothing to do with you, you and I know in our hearts that although you made mistakes, you have contributed to the community. Do you have any objections to today's dismissal of your position as right minister?"
Emperor Guangxiao continued.
He originally thought about killing Yue Ruzhang directly, but after much deliberation, it was still inappropriate. As for Yue Hezhang's many years in power, and Yue Hezhang's many followers, he still needed to think twice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yue Hezhang said gratefully.
Yue Hezhang was overwhelmed with gratitude, it was unexpected that this matter was resolved in such a way.
Yue Hezhang's matter has been resolved.
The next morning, Emperor Shangguang Xiao announced the result, and everyone looked at Yue Hezhang, who did not expect to be deposed from the position of right minister.
"Let's leave it at that for the Yue family. As for the officials who colluded with Yue Ruzhang, they will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Officials. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer to this matter."
Emperor Guangxiao said.
"Follow the order!"
Bao Ying, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and Bai Jizhong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up to receive the order.
The two glanced at each other. Emperor Guangxiao ordered the Ministry of Punishments and the Ministry of Officials to take action together. This meant severe punishment. If it was only a minor punishment, the Ministry of Officials could simply ask the Ministry of Justice to remove these officials from their posts. There was no need to involve the Ministry of Punishments.
"The Yue family committed crimes in Jingzhou, corrupted the law, and became the local emperor. None of the decent imperial envoys noticed it. It's sad!"
Emperor Guangxiao sighed.
Emperor Guangxiao may have sighed at this sentence, but everyone heard it clearly.
Early retreat.
At night.
"Your Majesty!"
Wei Gaogain came to Emperor Guangxiao with more than ten memorials. Emperor Guangxiao took a look at the memorials, "What are these?" Emperor Guangxiao asked, why there were so many memorials suddenly.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial handed in by those imperial envoys."
Emperor Guangxiao looked at the memorial in front of him and smiled, "Burn them all! But write down these people for me, and I will never reuse them." Emperor Guangxiao said.
Regardless of the reason for not telling the matter at the beginning, Emperor Guangxiao is not pursuing their faults now, but he will never reuse them.
Their official career ends here, even if you have talent and learning, it is useless to be able to secure the country.
"clear!"
Wei Gao nodded, and threw all the memorials he brought into the brazier.
The imperial envoys who delivered the memorials were all very worried, and they didn't know if this matter could be salvaged.
"You said Yue Hezhang was deposed by his father?"
Zhou Zheng didn't expect that such a big thing would happen after he didn't go to court for a day.
"Do you know what's going on?"
Zhou Zheng asked the person in front of him.
"It seems that the abolished prince found out some things about the Yue family in Jingzhou, and Yue Hezhang was implicated and was removed from office by the emperor." Deng Han told Zhou Zhen what happened early.
"It's him again?"
Zhou Zheng clenched his fists tightly, Zhou Heng is no longer a prince, but he became active, what is he going to do?
"Where is he now?"
Zhou Zheng asked.
"At Hanshan Temple!"
Deng Han said that after returning from Jingzhou, Zhou Heng did not come to Chang'an and lived directly in Hanshan Temple.
"Still in Hanshan Temple? Why pretend to be noble."
Zhou Zheng said, in Zhou Zheng's eyes, Zhou Heng is pretending to be noble, if he is really noble and doesn't care about world affairs, why should Zhou Heng appear in the sight of everyone.
Made trouble in Chang'an and killed Yue Hezhang's guards, then went to Nanliang, and now went to investigate Yue's family in Jingzhou. It felt like the entire Great Zhou would not be able to survive without Zhou Heng.
"Look for someone from Wuhumen to get rid of him for me."
Zhou Zheng gritted his teeth and said, it is impossible to have the benevolence of a woman now, so he can only kill Zhou Heng to prevent future troubles.
"The prince is going to kill the deposed prince?"
"That's right!"
Zhou Zheng said.
Ever since Zhou Heng reappeared in Chang'an City, Zhou Zhen felt danger, an unprecedented danger, and he felt that Zhou Heng had become his threat.
"But if the deposed prince dies, I'm afraid"
Deng Han said with some concern that although Zhou Heng is the abolished prince, judging from the events in Nanchu and Jingzhou, Zhou Heng has regained the approval of the emperor.
It is impossible for the emperor to let go of killing and deposing the prince.
"I know what you're worried about. You're worried that the emperor may find us after he investigates, but don't forget, we still have one person."
Zhou Zheng smiled.
Don't forget, in Chang'an, apart from them, there is another person who is even more talented than them, Zhou Hengcai.
That person is Yue Hezhang.
Yue Hezhang is the right minister of the court, with high position and authority, and the Yue family in Jingzhou is even more entangled. Now Yue Hezhang has become an ordinary person overnight, and Yue Ruzhang and the others have been exiled. How could Yue Hezhang swallow such a big enmity.
"What does the lord mean, we can push Yue Hezhang out?"
Deng Han seemed to understand what Zhou Zheng meant.
"That's right. I used to think that he was the right minister, so I wanted to win him over. Now he is an ordinary person, and the Yue family has also been exiled. The only role of Yue Hezhang now is to take the blame for us."
Zhou stared blankly and said with a smile, who made Yue Hezhang lose his value, before the value of Yue Hezhang completely disappeared, he had to make good use of it.
"Then what should we do?"
Deng Han asked.
"Go to Yueyang, I believe she will help us accomplish this."
Zhou Zheng said to Deng Han.
Yue Yang didn't have much affection for Zhou Heng in the first place, and now that Zhou Heng has completely defeated the Yue family, this matter may make Yue Yang hate Zhou Heng even more.
I was fanning the flames from the sidelines, believing that this flame would burn even more fiercely.
"Are we really not going back?"
Su Nuanyu asked Zhou Heng.
After returning from Jingzhou, Zhou Heng has been living in Hanshan Temple. Now that Zhou Heng has been named a prince, he does not need to live in Hanshan Temple.
Moreover, it is not convenient to live in Hanshan Temple by myself.
"Of course I want to go back."
Zhou Heng gently hugged Su Nuanyu and said.
"Then why are you hesitating?" Su Nuanyu could see Zhou Heng's hesitation, and Zhou Heng seemed to have something on his mind.
"I'm thinking about how to face my father-in-law!"
Zhou Heng said.
Zhou Heng met Su Wangzhi once before, and he was not nervous or at a loss, but now it is different, he is with Su Nuanyu.
Thinking about returning to Chang'an, Zhou Heng felt a little uneasy. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
