Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 55 Your chess pieces are out of control!

next day
Night watchman's office

Wei An stood in front of the dungeon entrance, his expression calm, lost in thought.

"Wei is fine."

Nangong Qianrou's call brought him back to reality.

He turned and walked over.

The latter looked him over for a few moments, a smile breaking across her feminine face. "What's the matter? Suddenly realizing you've made too many enemies, are you scared?"

Wei An shook his head.

Last night he read the confessions given to him by Nangong Qianrou, who were the ones who spread rumors about him making great aspirations some time ago.

Behind it are several factions in the court, including but not limited to the Wang Party, the Qi Party, and the Liang Party.

Of course, the Liang Party is now in power.

Yesterday afternoon, Prince Yu entered the palace with a letter written in blood, accusing Pingyuan Earl, Minister of War Zhang Feng, and Revenue Secretary Sun Mingzhong of plotting to murder royal family members.

Emperor Yuan Jing immediately summoned Jianzheng into the palace to confront Pingyuan Earl's legitimate son, Zhang Feng, and Sun Mingzhong.

With the ability of supervision, the results are self-evident.

The notice came down this morning, and the three people and their three clans were exterminated.

The seventh rank of the Ministry of Revenue's Censor-in-Chief seems to be a very low rank.

However, the duties of the Jieshizhong official were to assist the emperor in handling memorials, inspecting various ministries, archiving imperial edicts, and copying them to the cabinet. Some of them might even participate in important court discussions.

The Minister of War is a second-rank official, a serious official.

Both of these vacancies will probably require recommendations from the imperial court.

And it won't be just one time.

This should be brought up at today's court meeting.

He was just thinking about this.

"Hurry up."

Wei An urged.

He also has to go to the Imperial Observatory today.

...

now
There was a dead atmosphere in the Yamato-den, yet there seemed to be an undercurrent surging.

With the precedents of Pingyuan Bo, Zhang Feng and Sun Mingzhong in mind, some officials felt a little bit like they were being abandoned after their time was up, while others were calculating.

But before that…

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

A man stepped out from the literary class, and it was none other than the Censor of the Ministry of Justice.

"What do you have to say?"

"I impeach the Left Censor-in-Chief Wei Yuan. He is the Emperor's henchman, responsible for protecting the Imperial City and the safety of the palace. Yesterday, he allowed the thieves to sneak into Sangpo and blow up the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple. He has grossly neglected his duties and has truly failed Your Majesty's high expectations. I request his execution!"

It’s started!
"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

The Censor of the Ministry of Rites and the Censor of the Ministry of Personnel immediately jumped out.

Then the little Karami characters from each party also popped up.

If you keep talking about it, you will either be killed or exiled.

This kind of impeachment is meaningless and no emperor would agree to it.

Wei Yuan had experienced this kind of impeachment before, so he remained unmoved and looked indifferent.

Emperor Yuan Jing was silent for a moment before speaking again, changing the subject. "Zhang Feng and Sun Mingzhong have disregarded the law and betrayed the Emperor's grace. Their entire clans have been exterminated."

"However, the positions of Minister of War and Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue must be filled. Who do you think would be suitable for the positions?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that Qin Yuandao, the Vice Minister of War, is qualified to serve as the Minister of War."

"Your Majesty, I think..."

"... "

As soon as Emperor Yuan Jing finished speaking, several people jumped out like sharks smelling blood.

The core forces of each party remained almost unchanged, all waiting for Emperor Yuan Jing to further express his intentions.

"The great scholar Zhang Shen of the Academy was once the Minister of War. What do you think of this man being appointed as the Minister of War?"

This is not coming!
But Emperor Yuan Jing seemed to have forgotten what he had just said.

The official who had previously come forward to recommend him suddenly looked as if he had eaten a fly.

It’s better not to ask.

The veterans of each party lowered their gaze slightly, with a smile in their eyes.

Your Majesty has already mastered the art of imperial power to perfection!
"Your Majesty, I believe Zhang Jinyan has shortcomings. Please reconsider."

Finally, a senior person popped up, without any real reason, and just said something casually.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is highly respected and has made considerable achievements during his tenure. He will be well-suited to the position of Minister of War."

This person was obviously from the Imperial College, yet he called Zhang Shen "Mr."

Facts have proven that traitors are everywhere.

This person was Cai You. Wang Zhenwen, the head of the literary class, hesitated for a moment and then hid himself deeply.

Emperor Yuan Jing's gaze fell on this man. After thinking for a moment, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Wei Yuan again, "What do you think, Wei Qing?"

No matter how Wei Yuan answered, it would be inappropriate.

Because there is now an additional link between him and the academy, Wei An!
Emperor Yuan Jing was very suspicious!

"It all depends on your majesty's holy decision." Wei Yuan said without any hesitation.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked at him deeply.

After a while, he smiled faintly and said, "Let's discuss this matter later. Do you have any other suggestions? If not, then we can withdraw."

...

Sitianjian, Observatory, seven floors
A group of people gathered in a circle.

In the center of the encirclement is a honeycomb coal stove.

The water in the kettle on the honeycomb coal stove has boiled.

"Boom!"

"... "

The lid of the kettle kept pushing up, then falling back a little, and then pushing up again.

"Brother Song, please tell me, what is the reason for this?"

Wei An asked with a smile.

Song Qing's eyes were fixed on the lid of the kettle, full of thought.

After a long while, he shook his head and said, "I really don't know. Please give me some advice, Master Wei."

Wei An stood up, and the other sorcerers followed suit.

He said, "Have you ever heard of the time when I sent an ordinary person flying into the sky from the Imperial Manor?"

"Ordinary people? Flying?"

"I heard something."

"Never heard of it."

"... "

One person, three answers.

Wei An explained the whole story of the hot air balloon.

Song Qing was filled with emotion for a moment.

The alchemy of the Sitianjian is based on the art of observing qi, and it has always been about exploring various miracles. It is truly admirable that Wei An got inspiration from the small Qi Tian Lantern and successfully realized it!
"Master Wei, are you saying that the lid of the pot is lifted up because of buoyancy?"

A warlock answered tentatively.

There's just no thought involved.

"How can they be the same? A hot air balloon burns directly, while a kettle boils water." Song Qing immediately retorted.

"What Senior Brother Song said is extremely accurate." Wei An nodded in agreement.

He added, "You might as well try it yourself."

As he said this, he took off the lid of the pot.

Signal others to place their hands over the mouth of the pot.

Song Qing took the lead.

After feeling it carefully, he frowned slightly, "There is indeed steam rising, but the force is not strong enough to lift the lid of the pot."

Wei An's eyes lit up, "Brother Song, why do you think this is happening?"

"The coal stove is not powerful enough, or the lid is removed."

This is the teacher’s favorite student!

He took out a piece of paper from his robe sleeve and spread it in front of Song Qing.

...

At this time, a room

Dear Sirs:
Please forgive me for reporting to you today.

The demon clan's plan was successful. They colluded with the Minister of Rites and successfully released the seal under Sangpo Lake.

At the same time, they also failed, and the seal was defeated by your chess piece.

To this day, with all due respect, your chess pieces are out of control!

When we were at Huangzhuang in Dahuangshan, I tried to control him, but he hit me hard instead!
After that, I hid myself to recuperate, and during that time I killed the magistrate of Taikang County.

Master, your chess pieces are rising very fast and can no longer be underestimated. I am no longer able to handle it.

However, this boy chose Confucianism.

According to Confucianism, reputation is the foundation of one's life.

I once heard you mention that this boy's father is also in your hands. Can you use his father to tarnish this boy's reputation?
