Dafeng's Night Squad

294 Compensation (final chapter of volume) _

When it was Xu Qi ‘an’s turn, there were differences in opinions about the title of nobility. A small number of ministers agreed to grant the title. More people expressed that it was inappropriate.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with it. The title of nobility was not an official position, but a “reward” for those who had performed meritorious deeds. It was a means for the Imperial court to win over people’s hearts.

In Xu Qi ‘an’s case, he was conferred a noble title after his death, which was only an honor for his death.

However, Xu Qi ‘an was Wei Yuan’s confidant, and it was a civil servant’s instinct to argue with Wei Yuan. From the tax and silver case to the Sang Bo case, and then from the ping Yang Princess case to the Yunzhou case.

Because of him, the Royal faction’s Assistant Minister of Revenue fell from power.The Liang faction was crippled, the king’s party’s minister of rites had fallen, and the king’s party’s minister of rites had also fallen.The Qi party’s Minister of Works had executed nine generations of his family ...

The number of people who hated him was uncountable, and even the honor of their descendants was not willing to give it to him.

Among them, the chief of the Supreme Court and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites were the most excited. They spoke fervently and pointed out the disadvantages. In short, they said one sentence:

Xu Qi ‘an was not worthy.

Although the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was part of the Qi party, he had colluded with the Minister of Works of the witchcraft cult. There was no evidence that the Chief Justice had colluded with the witchcraft cult, so he could stay out of it.

The so-called party was just a political ally, not a relative.

The assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites was a member of the Royal faction, and his direct superior had been defeated by Xu Qi ‘an in the Sang Bo case. The most hateful thing was that the new Minister of rites was one of Wei Yuan’s men.

The attitude of the ministers made Emperor Yuan jing hesitate. From his point of view, the death of Tong Gong, who had always been an eyesore, was of course not enough to make the Emperor ecstatic, but to be honest, he was quite comfortable.

It was like chasing away a buzzing fly.

However, Emperor Yuan jing agreed with the title. Because Xu Qi ‘an had indeed made a great contribution, the title of nobility could show his clear distinction between reward and punishment.

Emperor yuanjing was the most tolerant of the dead.

However, if most of the officials did not agree, Emperor yuanjing would not insist on his own opinion.

Emperor yuanjing was about to end the conversation and reject Zhang xingying’s suggestion when he suddenly saw Wei Yuan step out.

The chief eunuch walked straight to the assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites and raised his hand! A sound.

The loud slap resounded through the Royal study, instantly suppressing the disputes of the officials. One by one, they looked over in surprise.

“Pa!”

The official of the court of judicial review also suffered a slap. He staggered and fell, his crown falling off and his hair disheveled.

“Whoosh ...”

The astonished gazes turned into clamors, and the Imperial study was in an uproar.

In the history of Da Feng, there were many cases of irascible officials fighting in court. Moreover, this was the Royal study.

However, it was Wei Yuan who had hit him, which was absurd.

In the hearts of the officials, Wei Yuan was a eunuch in charge of the night watchmen’s Yamen and Imperial Censorate.Sinister and cunning, Black-bellied and vicious, cunning and profound, good at planning, and so on.

However, there was no such thing as “impulsiveness and recklessness.” It was so easy to be used against and played to death.

What was Wei Yuan up to? On purpose?

While the thoughts of the court officials were floating, the professional trolls did not need to think so much. Several “left ministers” of the six ministries rushed out in a panic and shouted, ”

Your Majesty, Wei Yuan beat someone up in the hall. He has no respect for His Majesty and the law. Please send an order to behead him.

There was no need to think so much in the matter, just grab hold of the handle and fight to the death.

Immediately, many ministers agreed.

Wei Yuan didn’t care about the complaints of the officials. He bowed and said in a deep voice, “”Your Majesty, the matter of the Qi party is not over yet. Although the Minister of Works has been dealt with, the accomplices are still hiding in the court. In the Sang po case, the minister of rites colluded with the demons, and his accomplices still existed.

“It just so happens to be the capital’s investigation. I suggest delaying the investigation until everything is clear before making a decision.”

What did he mean?

All the officials were shocked and looked at Wei Yuan in disbelief. He was clearly trying to delay the investigation.

Since the beginning of the year, the capital’s officialdom had been through a period of constant vigilance, careful observation, and internal strife from the middle of the year to the end. Everyone was in danger and had long been exhausted.

Even the most combative conspirators wanted to end the investigation as soon as possible and recuperate.

Wei Yuan wanted to continue the fight?

He, he’s crazy?

Even Wang zhenwen couldn’t help but look at Wei Yuan in shock. Wei Qingyi’s face was expressionless, not much different from usual.

As an old rival, chief advisor Wang found himself unable to guess Wei Yuan’s intentions.

A moment of anger?

No, how could Wei Yuan be swayed by emotions? Besides, where did the anger come from?

Emperor Yuan jing stared at Wei Yuan. After a while, he suddenly realized that the gong named Xu Qi ‘an had an extraordinary position in Wei Yuan’s heart.

He pressed his hand down and waited for the officials to quiet down. He slowly said,”Xu Qi ‘an solved such a complicated and mysterious case in ten months.

“It’s a loss for the Imperial court to have such a talent die in the line of duty. Let’s do as Zhang xingying said.

“Wei Yuan beat up an official of the Imperial court in the court and broke the rules. As for the matter of the capital investigation, there is no need to change it according to the ancestral rules.”

The ministers were not surprised by Emperor yuanjing’s light punishment. Although they were disappointed, they knew that such a thing could not bring down the great eunuch.

With Wei Yuan’s importance, the Emperor had a high tolerance for his mistakes. He had beaten up an official once or twice, and it was already the limit for him to receive some punishment.

To their surprise, Wei Yuan no longer harped on the matter of the capital investigation and kept his mouth shut.

This made the officials realize that delaying the investigation was just an excuse for Wei Yuan to vent his anger.

Compared to a punishment that was neither light nor heavy, the officials were more concerned about the reason for Wei Yuan’s loss of composure. It turned out that the invulnerable eunuch Wei also had an existence that he cared about and made him lose his composure?
