Chapter 364 Impeachment

Outside the Wulin Gate of Lin'an City, five hundred imperial guards with helmets and armor on their faces, with solemn faces, ran in quickly in the direction of the city under the leadership of Li Heng.

With the sound of neat footsteps and the solemn momentum entering the Wulin Gate, the people, tourists, etc. on both sides of the road instantly dodged left and right, making way for the five hundred people.

The originally lively and cheerful atmosphere of the Flower Festival was instantly covered by a hint of tension and solemn mystery. As the five hundred banned soldiers passed by, the people on both sides of the road began to look at each other and whispered, "Would there be something big about the court to happen? Will it be related to this year's palace examination?"

Rumors like catching wind and shadow began to spread rapidly in the streets and alleys of Lin'an City. As the banned soldiers quickly approached Qinghefang, most of the Lin'an City seemed to have become solemn and nervous.

Zhong Qing, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked anxiously at the jail outside. Her heart, which was already a little nervous, was even more jumping hard at this time, as if the carriage was slower, would jump out of her chest.

In the court, because Ye Qing was appointed as Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Wang Deqian had just finished reading the order, and immediately attracted the opposition from some ministers, including Yin Yu, the censor.

Naturally, it has been circulating since the first day of the Flower Festival. This year, the first provincial test title Ye Qing had an affair with his sister-in-law, and Yin Yu told her in public.

As Yin Yu's words came to an end, the court immediately became an uproar and people started to talk.

At this time, even Zhao Xing couldn't help but frown. If what the Censor Yin Yu said was true, then today, Ye Qing, the leader and the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, would have to take it back and discuss it.

King Xin Zhao Yu smiled relaxedly, and he had a hint of gloating, which was not related to his own affairs. He expected that someone would attack Ye Qing in the court today, but he did not expect that it would be Yin Yu, who was the Duke of Wei who openly impeached Ye Qing.

Wang Huai, Liang Kejia and others frowned, but no one came forward to question Yin Wei. What evidence was there for his impeachment of Ye Qing and his sister-in-law?

Everyone was waiting for Zhao Sheng to make a decision, or wait for Ye Qing to give a reasonable explanation.

But I have to admit that the time chosen by Yin Yu is just right. Even the rumors that appear in the Flower Festival appear more timely and appropriately than the four major blessings in life.

In the court, all the officials and ministers knew what this meant. If it was true as Yin Yu said, Ye Qing and his sister-in-law were not clear and had an affair with each other, then Ye Qing would not have become famous all over the world today by taking advantage of the provincial examination.

It will become the first name in the provincial examination and the power of the palace examination. From then on, it will be ruined and become a rat crossing the street that everyone calls for and beats, and become a typical violation of human ethics and ethics, and everyone can curse it.

Now everything he has will disappear immediately. Even if he is the commander of the Imperial City Department, even if he is supported by the Supreme Emperor behind him, it will be useless and no one can save him.

After all, how could the Supreme Emperor behave against the ethics and morals of the world and the humanistic people in the world just because of him?

What's more, how can a person with a bad mind and an adulterer with his sister-in-law become a minister of the Song Dynasty?

"Ye Qing, what do you say?" Zhao Ling asked in a deep voice as the ministers and scholars in the hall.

Ye Qing's eyes swept over everyone in the hall one by one. Whether it was the ministers with a calm smile or the scholars with a gloating look on their faces, they all looked like they were all waiting to see how he answered the words of the current emperor.

The final gaze stopped on Yin Yu's face with a sense of justice and slowly spoke: "The Censor's Censor's rumors are that he has never had to bear any responsibility. Even if he impeached others, he would be wrong. He could not even talk about slander, let alone whether they have evidence in their hands. In fact, as long as they go to Dawazi or Wulin Gate, or sit in a teahouse or a restaurant for an afternoon of Kung Fu tea, then the rumors about whom they want to impeach will probably be all. Is it Mr. Yin?"

"I never do anything to catch the wind and shadows, and you don't have to use the slogan to monitor the censor's words. I've been a censor for many years, and I have to rely on a mouth to clear the shameless people of my Song Dynasty. Not to mention your calm comments, even if someone says that I can lift the curtain with my dog ​​and open the door curtain, I can face it calmly. So Ye Qing, I ask you, you dare to say that between you and your sister-in-law, is it really clear? Nothing is not clear or not?" Yin Xu took two steps forward when Ye Qing looked at him, and said with a solemn expression.

"If I said this was a private matter, I had nothing to tell you. I wonder what Yin Jingshi would think?" Ye Qing didn't seem panicked at all. At least in Zhao Ling's opinion, if what Yin Xu said was true, Ye Qing would never be so calm now.

"If you have not participated in the imperial examination, then I will never impeach you, because you are not a minister of the Song Dynasty. But if you participated in the imperial examination, participated in the provincial examination, palace examination, and are now the top high school, and were awarded the position of Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple by the emperor on the spot, then Lord Ye’s private affairs cannot be just private affairs. Being an official must be a human being, and being a human being must first learn etiquette and morality and human ethics. If you cannot do the most basic self-cultivation, how can you be a good parental official for the people of the world, and how can you hold the position of Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple and make a fair decision?" Yin Yu was obviously prepared, or perhaps as the censor, he had a good speech, and his words were well organized and well-founded.

"Does Yin Jingshi have evidence?" Ye Qing raised his head and moved his neck, then looked at Yin Xu and continued to ask.

"Of course there is evidence. Yang Liu, the maid in Lord Ye's house, I think such a witness is enough, right?" Yin Xu sneered and asked at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was about to speak when he heard King Xin suddenly speak, "Ye Qing, can you continue to make a quibble in front of the priests and the many court officials in front of the emperor and the many court officials? Yin Jingshi has always been upright and has served as the supervisor for many years and has never slandered or slandered any minister. How could he make things difficult for you?"

He looked at King Xin with a smile, and after looking at the righteous Yin Yu, Ye Qing slowly turned around and saluted Zhao Sheng, and then said with a righteous expression: "Returning to the lord, my family's words are unlikely to convince my colleagues and scholars all over the world, let alone this remark concerns my lifelong reputation. Therefore, I want to ask the lord to summon a noble person to cleanse me of grievances."

"Ye Qing, you still have to argue until when? Even if someone is willing to speak for you, do you think the priest, the scholars and many colleagues in the world will believe it? Who knows if this person is what you are ready to argue for you long ago?" King Zhao Li of Xin took a step forward and said furiously.

"If it is according to the meaning of King Xin, I can't show evidence, whether I can show or not, it is true and cannot be changed. Then why do you ask me? Is it enough to just say the final word?" Ye Qing, who had changed his new wide robe and Confucian robe for the palace test today, was not used to the wide sleeves, and shook it back and forth a few times and asked.

"You...you quibble..." King Xin stretched out his finger and pointed at Ye Qing, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"Your Majesty, if Ye Qing insists on finding a witness to cleanse him and impeach him, I will also ask the Lord Majesty Yang Liu, the maid from Ye Qing's family, to confront the so-called nobleman who can prove his innocence in Ye Qing's mouth." Yin Xu glanced at King Xin quickly and saluted and said to Zhao Ling.

"It's just a maid, there's no need to confront her. She is not qualified to confront someone who can prove my innocence. By the way, Lord Yin, I forgot something, I want to ask you, how did you know my maid? Did you look for her or did she look for you? She recognized you as the censor Yin Yu? Or did you know her as my maid? When I was sailing on the West Lake, I saw two white flowers... I don't know whose body it was. Anyway, when my maid came back that day, her clothes were quite neat, but one hairpin was missing. Do you know where it fell?" Ye Qing suddenly smiled evilly and asked Yin Yu.

As Ye Qing asked back, not only Zhao Ling was stunned, but King Xin, the ministers and scholars were stunned, and he instantly realized: Yes, Yin Xu could not know for no reason. Moreover, he had already known Yin Xu's words just now, but because Ye Qing did not win the imperial examination, he was not impeached.

But... why did he know the maid in Ye Qing's family? How could a small maid know a censor who had been an official in the court for many years?

"You... you are slandering and talking nonsense, and you can't bite me back? Ye Qing, it doesn't matter how I know your maid. What matters is whether it is true that you and your sister-in-law are not clear or not? Do you dare to answer the truth about your sister-in-law in front of the emperor and the scholars of the world in front of the emperor and answer the truth between you and your sister-in-law in front of the emperor?" Yin Qing was shocked, but fortunately, he had not lost his mind and did not fall into Ye Qing's words, and soon turned the topic between Ye Qing and Bai Chun.

"Don't dare." Ye Qing blurted out without thinking, and then looked at the gloating sneer on the faces of King Xin and others, and said coldly: "Because I, Ye Qing, don't have sister-in-law, how can I be confused with my sister-in-law? You seduce my maid..."

"A quibbling statement, that is your maid seducing me to travel to West Lake with me..." Yin Yu stood there in an instant. When he heard Ye Qing say he didn't dare, he really wanted to laugh out loud. But when he heard Ye Qing say that he didn't have a sister-in-law, he was about to refute it, so when Ye Qing said that he seduced the maid, Yin Yu immediately refuted without thinking.

It is easy to hear the needle falling in the hall. Even King Xin Zhao Yu looked regretful and frustrated at this moment. He was almost a little bit, and he could almost put Ye Qing in the world without a hiding place. But at this critical moment, how could Yin Yu, a confused man, easily relax his vigilance?
