Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 29 I don’t know which bastard slandered the princess!

"absurd!"

Zhu Lan, who was already in his twenties, was so excited that his sleeves trembled slightly.

He took another step forward and asked, "Do you have any proof?"

Cai You remained calm, full of righteousness, and said, "It is the duty of the censors to report matters upon hearing rumors. Are you trying to block the channels of speech with these words, Minister?"

"You are trying to accuse someone of a crime! You are just raising a few questions, how can you say that you are blocking the channels of speech?" Zhu Lan flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

Returning to his previous position, he bowed towards the throne and spoke in a resounding voice, "Your Majesty, the revival of Confucianism is a sign of national prosperity and a manifestation of Your Majesty's cultural governance and enlightenment. Some, fearing harm to themselves, have slandered and hurled mud at it. Please, Your Majesty, make your judgment."

His words almost clearly implied that Cai You's move was actually to maintain the status of the Imperial College in the court.

The key point is that Zhu Lan was not from the Imperial College.

Inside the hall, the other officials focused their attention on Cai You.

The latter still had a frank expression and bowed down as well, "Your Majesty, please make your decision."

At this point, officials who are unaware of the situation may have some guesses in their minds, but it is still difficult to be sure.

In fact, Zhu Lan and Cai You argued quite fiercely.

As usual, His Majesty then asked, "What do you think, my dear ministers?" If anyone jumped out, the situation would immediately become clear.

Sun Min is ready.

"Spies..." Emperor Yuan Jing repeated, looking at one of the soldiers. "It's the duty of the night watchmen to capture and punish spies. Wei Qing, what are your thoughts?"

"His Majesty!"

Emperor Yuan Jing had just finished speaking.

Two voices sounded immediately.

From Cai You and Sun Min respectively!
"Snapped!"

A crisp whip sounded.

The eunuch holding the whip had a cold look in his eyes.

The hall immediately became quiet.

After a while, Cai You spoke first, "Your Majesty, Wei Yuan is Wei An's uncle. Wei Yuan should avoid suspicion in this matter. The matter should be handled by the Kyoto Prefecture, the Dali Temple, or the Ministry of Justice."

Emperor Yuan Jing had a puzzled look on his face. He looked past Cai You and landed on Sun Min, saying, "Sun Qing, do you have any insights?"

Good advice?

This wording...

Sun Min walked out of the literary class, bowed respectfully, and countless thoughts flashed across his drooping face.

So, Your Majesty is determined to have Yunlu return to the court?
The court is already divided into many factions. If Yunlu enters, it will only make things even more chaotic. Your Majesty, Your Majesty...

After a moment's struggle, Sun Min gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Censor Cai said is very true."

He was still a little unsure and didn't dare to elaborate.

The result was that the allies who had planned this together immediately cursed him as a "fool" in their hearts!
Those who didn't know the inside story confirmed their guess and cursed in their hearts.

You bastard, eating alone!
Emperor Yuan Jing nodded and fell silent.

As Cai You and Sun Min were in agony, he looked at Wei Yuan and asked, "Wei Qing, what do you say?"

When asked this question, Cai You, Sun Min, and Zhu Lan felt their hearts sink to the bottom!

Wei Yuan stepped out of the group, bowed, and after standing up, he said, "Your Majesty, I also have something to report to Your Majesty."

"Oh? What does Minister Wei have to say?" Emperor Yuan Jing seemed interested.

Wei Yuan pulled out a stack of confessions from his sleeve and said, "The day before yesterday, the night watchman apprehended a young man. After interrogation, he confessed that the rumors circulating in the capital about Wei An in recent days were organized and spread by someone with ulterior motives..."

"Your Majesty, Wei Yuan is covering up for you!"

"Your Majesty, I request to resign from Wei Yuan's position!"

"Your Majesty, you have manipulated your power and fabricated charges. I request that Wei Yuan be immediately imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice!"

"... "

Wei Yuan’s situation in the court was revealed clearly at this moment!

It can be said that they attacked in groups!
"Your Majesty, they are talking nonsense! Duke Wei always enforces the law impartially!"

"Your Majesty, jumping to conclusions without knowing the facts is an act of frame-up!"

"... "

Only a few people expressed their support.

"Snapped!"

Another whip crack!
The hall fell into silence again.

After a while, Emperor Yuan Jing slowly spoke, "I am tired. Let's discuss this matter later."

...

In a corner in front of the palace gate, "Since you have already made up your mind, why are you so timid in the face of battle?" Wang Zhenwen looked at Sun Min, quite angry that he did not fight back, and said.

"Prime Minister, His Majesty has made up his mind to let Yunlu return to the court. If he offends His Majesty..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenwen glared over.

He made solemn promises before the battle, but acted indecisively on the battlefield. He is not worth being a partner in the war!

After thinking it over again and again, Wang Zhenwen said coldly, "If it doesn't work this time, don't ever bring it up again!"

Sun Min looked hesitant, he still had a backup plan.

Seeing him like this, Wang Zhenwen said, "Wei An is now living in the night watchman's office. If Nangong Qianrou can get his help, with his strength as a fourth-rank Confucian, which prisoner do you think can keep his mouth shut?"

"Fortunately, you didn't kill me this time, which leaves room for easing the tension. Never bring this up again. Factional strife will only hinder national affairs!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.

Sun Min looked at the Prime Minister's back, and there was still a struggle in his heart.

At this time, a group of officials came over.

"Minister Sun..."

...

Observatory, Bagua Terrace

Yan Pu was like a quail, silent.

Supervisor Wei An bowed and said, "Supervisor, I would like to ask for the assistance of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau regarding my cooperation with Brother Yan."

The Supervisor asked directly, "What's missing?"

"Liuli, Mr. Jianzheng, could you please ask the senior brothers from the Sitianjian to customize a batch of Liuli?" Wei An's transition of address was extremely smooth.

The Supervisor was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, you can go find Song Qing."

"Thank you, Supervisor."

Wei An left happily with Yan Pu.

"The glass has been finalized. Where do you want to build the greenhouse? I promised to help you build it, but you have to provide the space."

"Of course, there is an open space in my backyard." After leaving the Bagua stage, Yan Pu regained some courage.

"Then let's keep going. Give the blueprints to your group of glass-making brothers and go find a suitable field."

"it is good!"

Everything started off smoothly, the two were ambitious and high-spirited, but things didn't go as planned, and their plans were thwarted halfway!
The area for making colored glass is not small, and it is somewhat like a factory.

Workshop, assembly line, warehouse...

Wei An and Yan Pu are in the warehouse at this moment.

I have searched around and found that the size of the glass in the warehouse is not suitable, so it still needs to be customized.

"I really can't tell who they are. They are all helping the princess build a large Qi Tian Lantern."

The person who spoke was Mu Qing, a senior alchemist from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, who was over thirty years old and had the image of a "programmer" with a deep hatred and deep suffering.

Wei An and Yan Pu looked at each other.

The latter really didn't know what to do.

former…

"Hey!" Mu Qing slammed his left fist into the palm of his right hand, saying angrily, "I don't know which bastard spread these slanderous words to the princess. What good will this thing do to the people?"

Wei An's eye twitched.

"Brother, what you said is very true." Yan Pu agreed with a serious face.

Wei Anli looked over.

you…

"Master Wei, what should we do now?" Yan Pu also looked at him and asked.

Wei An breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't expect that he would make things difficult for himself.

"Why don't you leave the blueprints to Senior Brother Mu, and we'll go pick a site first." Wei An said.

Yan Pu nodded, "That's the only way."

He pulled out a blueprint from his sleeve and said, "Brother Mu, this is the blueprint for the 'greenhouse' I made. Please correct me."

"it is good."

Mu Qing, a straightforward technical staff, took the drawings, glanced at them a few times, and then discussed the details with Yan Pu.
