Chapter 284 284. Ending
Since Bai Dalang is the Prime Minister, he naturally understands the pros and cons.
If this matter is left to Feng Jinxu, I'm afraid these people will be thrown into prison by him.
But Bai Dalang chose to just write a list and submit it, also for the good of the Jin Dynasty.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and the same is true for the court.
It is not practical to expect all loyal ministers, and if all their hats are rolled down, people will go to jail, and it will be a troublesome thing to choose someone to take their place.
So it is not practical to take action until everything is settled.
Bai Dalang understood this, and Emperor Qi understood it even more.
Feng Hai and Ying Qin have also been officials for many years, so they naturally know how powerful they are.
Hence, Bai Dalang said to Emperor Qi.
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, I feel that this matter should be handled secretly. The leaders, Wen Jingsong and his son, will naturally punish them vigorously as a warning to others, and the poor men who were replaced should also be recalled and hired to give an explanation to the world. As for those powerful people who have taken over official positions, they should also pay the price for what they have done."
Now that so many families are involved, bones and tendons are broken, its troublesome for anyone to touch them. Does Aiqing have any good ideas?
"Your Majesty, instead of combining them to control them, it is better to separate them. After careful investigation of these people, they are either nephews or brothers, or even worse, they are relatives. In this case, your Majesty simply gives the order These families can only keep one person as an official in the court, and the rest need to leave voluntarily to avoid suspicion. As for whether to protect themselves or others, let each family deal with this headache. In this way, the court will not be able to There will be too much turmoil, but their family power will also fall apart and become untenable."
Di Qi glanced at Bai Dalang appreciatively, this was a good idea.
The honorable people who had committed the crime were so frightened that after waiting for more than half a month, they were so frightened that all the trees and grass were covered with weapons.
Looking at the miserable situation of the Wen family and his son in prison, he was afraid that he would be the next one to have his house ransacked.
Bai Dalang's method can not only save their face, but also allow them to kill each other after weighing the pros and cons. Originally, they wanted to have an official to protect them, but now only one person is left, and they won't get a **** head.
It is really wonderful.
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear. You have served in the cabinet for many years and have always been diligent. You have done well in these recent errands. I see that the Ministry of Works has an empty position as a doctor in the Ministry of Water. It is a good time for you to go."
Mr. Zhong of the Ministry of Water is the third-rank position. If he goes up one level, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. It is an official position on the same level as Feng Hai. Compared with his former cabinet bachelor of the fifth rank, he has been promoted by two levels.
Bai Dalang secretly sighed in his heart. After so many years as an official, this was the first time that he wanted to climb up so aggressively.
Since I got what I wanted, I naturally want to thank His Majesty for your kindness.
Hence, there was a burst of shouts of long live for Emperor Qi, and both Feng Hai and Ying Qin received awards, but they were not as glorious as Bai Dalang.
Soon, Emperor Qis imperial edict was quietly sent to the noble families involved in the fraud case.
As expected, in order to compete for a place as an official in the court, he almost had to fight to the death.
I dont want my hard work over the years to come to an end. My son feels that the great future cannot be ruined because of this. Whats more, my nephew comes directly to block the door and prevents me from letting him in.
For the sake of profit, all kinds of ugly faces appear.
Emperor Qi watched them quarreling like this with cold eyes for several days without saying a word.
Until the imperial list of how to deal with the Wen family was posted, one or two of them all stopped.
At the cusp of the storm, several people were sitting in Bai Xiang's study.
The three Feng family brothers and sisters came to visit Bai Xiang on an excuse. It happened that Bai Dalang was also at home today.
His promotion did not cause a big splash in the capital. After all, everyone was busy watching the fate of the Wen family and his son, and fighting with the father and son in the officialdom.Compared with the luxuriant flowers, the sinister world is more interesting to people.
Feng Jinyao sat in front of the tea table, making tea for Bai Xiang. Feng Jinxu and Feng Jinlin both listened to their uncle's words.
A Yaos method is really powerful.
After Bai Dalang informed His Majesty of the method of treating those people, he was not only promoted to two levels, but now he is also a close minister in front of His Majesty.
Although his third-grade position is not high, even the Wei family is a little afraid of him now.
Feng Jinyao smiled and said without taking any credit for this matter.
"My niece just mentioned it casually, and it was my uncle who thought of the good idea."
Her gentle temperament is somewhat different from that of the eldest sister back then.
Bai Dalang looked at her making tea and felt a little dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to his youth.
At that time, the eldest sister also liked to sit in her father's study making tea and drinking tea like this, but it was hard for him and the fourth brother. They were either scolded with a straight face or forced to copy books. They did not have the freedom of the eldest sister at all.
A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he said to her again.
"One family doesn't speak two languages. I just thought of some details, but it was you who came up with the good idea. Your aunt said she would let you sit at her place later and discuss anything with you."
It is now April, and the day when she will be born is not far away.
She already had a rough idea of what her aunt wanted to discuss with her.
So he nodded and agreed, "I'll be there later."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and their warmth seemed particularly harmonious in the study.
Has the Wen family been sentenced?
Bai Xiang closed his eyes tightly and asked.
It was Feng Jinxu who answered his words, his face still expressionless as usual, and he said calmly, "The sentence is passed. The father and son will be quartered on five horses and executed in three days!"
Hearing this, Feng Jinyao's hand that was pouring water paused, and the originally smooth voice stopped for a while, and then continued.
Feng Er thought that his sister was a little scared when she heard that the five horses were dismembering the bodies, so she interrupted.
Your Majesty is really cruel this time. He probably takes out the anger on the father and son for not being able to rectify the courtiers. But they deserve it. He even dares to cheat like this in the imperial examination. How audacious!
Thinking that his friend Yin Canwen and some unknown scholars from poor families were greatly affected by this, he wished that the Wen family and his son would be executed tomorrow.
Feng Jinyao, who was sitting next to him, did not relax at all.
Looking at the tea leaves rolling back and forth in the boiling water, the breath in my heart finally came out slowly.
It has been almost half a year since she was reborn, and God finally opened his eyes and punished the evildoers.
Feng Jinyao still feels uneasy when she thinks of their faces in the past.
I'm afraid she can only come out of it completely when everything is settled. Therefore, she must send Wen Meng off before he dies, so as to settle the grudges from the past life.
