Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 99 Wei Yuan: Just wait, someone will impeach you at tomorrow's court meeting
"It is true that the soul is missing."

Li Miaozhen wiped her hand and put away her true energy.

Wei An suddenly thought of his adopted father and asked, "Do you need a soul-calling banner?"

Li Miaozhen was startled and looked at him, "You have it?"

It is not easy to refine the soul-calling flag.

The materials are extremely precious and each type is extremely difficult to obtain!

Wei An's eyes dimmed.

That's right.

How could he have a spirit-calling banner?

This is a magical weapon that can bring people back to life!

"Using the methods of the Wushen Cult, this incomplete soul must be refined using secret techniques." Li Miaozhen looked solemn.

"The person who tied the bell must untie it." Wei An took over her words and gave the best solution to the problem.

His tone was steady, yet murderous.

Zhao Shoushi said at the right moment, "Miss Li, what should Lu Fu do now..."

"I have a few talismans here."

Li Miaozhen took out some talismans from the small jade mirror in her pocket and taught Wei An and Zhao Shou how to use them.

"Thank you Saint."

Wei An bowed deeply.

Li Miaozhen knew from Wei An's expression that he took this matter seriously.

"It doesn't have to be this way."

She hurriedly supported him and said, "You still need to use the Dao Dan to maintain your body's energy consumption."

"Please give me some advice, Saint." Wei An bowed.

Li Miaozhen explained all the details and said, "I also have several good friends from Chuzhou."

"Thank you Saint."

Wei An's thanks was actually a polite refusal.

Zhao Shou took over the conversation, "Three thousand miles of bloody slaughter, something big must have happened in Chuzhou."

When it comes to important matters in the court, someone more senior must be brought in to take charge.

Wei An had already made up his mind.

"Saint, I'll take you back first."

"it is good."

……

Haoqi Building

When Wei An walked out of the clear light, Nangong Qianrou was reporting something to Wei Yuan.

They hadn't seen each other for some time, and they were still very happy to see Wei An.

Seeing Wei An's serious expression, Nangong Qianrou said goodbye and left first.

"Uncle." Wei An stepped forward and bowed, without any hesitation, he told him the whole story about Lu Fu.

Since there were no outsiders around, Wei An did not hide his feelings and his face was as gloomy as water.

Wei Yuan's expression wasn't much better either.

"A bloodbath stretching over three thousand miles, please send troops to suppress..."

"Then why did you come to me?"

He asked deliberately.

How could he not know what his nephew and Yang Qianhuan had been tinkering with these days?

"We did deploy some anchor points in other states, but not in the northern and western border states."

"If anything goes wrong with these two important border cities, some people in the court will put the blame on me."

"Besides, there is no decent rice in these two states."

Wei An explained, then said, "This is a serious matter. I'm afraid some people won't believe my words alone. I came to my uncle to ask for someone to go with me. If something really happens, it will serve as a witness."

Wei Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, you must not be rash.

He didn't respond immediately, thinking.

After a while, Wei Yuan said, "Just being the night watchman is not enough."

Wei An immediately understood Wei Yuan's meaning, "Uncle, this matter is urgent and cannot be delayed! If I report it, I don't know how long it will take."

"If the night watchman is not strong enough, then we can ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to verify the authenticity."

Wei Yuan looked at him without saying a word.

Considering Wei An's relationship with the Si Tian Jian sorcerer...

Wei An laughed dumbly, "Then please supervise!"

Wei Yuan stood up, his tone still calm, "It's especially at times like this that we should remain calm and not make any wrong moves."

"It's great that you held back and didn't go to Chuzhou to settle this matter. If you really went to Chuzhou and found something, someone would definitely impeach you afterwards."

Wei An naturally knew this.

Do you really think he cares about the Earl of Taikang County?

He really didn't want to implicate his teachers and the academy.

I am also afraid that my ideas will collapse halfway.

"Just wait, someone will definitely impeach you at the court meeting tomorrow."

"That person, it's time to make a move."

Wei Yuan's words had a hidden meaning.

Wei An thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, uncle."

"It turns out I'm not just coming for you." Wei Yuan smiled faintly.

After Wei An and his uncle finalized some details, he did not return home immediately, but went to the Imperial Observatory.

"Brother Yang, there is something urgent, please help me!"

Wei An's tone at this moment came completely from the heart.

It’s just what Yang Qianhuan likes.

Yang Qianhuan put his hands behind his back and said, "Leave the hard part to me."

The two disappeared in the observatory.

……

next day
The tranquil Yamatoden is bubbling with undercurrents.

After a brief discussion, Yuan Xiong, a member of the Criminal Department, stepped out of the courtroom and said, "Your Majesty, I accuse Wei Wuyang, the Earl of Taikang County, of not observing proper etiquette during his period of mourning. This violates court regulations, is detrimental to the public, and undermines the dignity of the court. I request that Your Majesty severely punish the Earl of Taikang County to demonstrate your understanding!"

coming!

The spirits of all the senior officials were lifted.

The first shot against the academy, Wei Yuan, and Wei An is here!

"Oh?"

Emperor Yuan Jing was surprised and looked unconvinced. "Do you have any proof?"

The ministers sighed.

Your Majesty is truly a qualified actor.

You can ask the Dafeng court, everyone will know that Yuan Xiong has long become Yuan Jing's microphone!

"Your Majesty, I am not making this up."

Yuan Xiong pulled a memorial from his official robe sleeve and presented it with both hands. According to the rules, the impeachment memorial could be submitted to Yuan Jing through the cabinet.

It can also be done like this, presenting it to Yuan Jing in the court and impeaching him in person.

The former is secretive and there is still room for maneuver, both for the impeacher and the impeached.

The cabinet may withdraw memorials.

The latter has little room for maneuver.

Of course, the decision-making power lies with Yuan Jing.

Most of the eunuchs Liu presented the memorial to Yuan Jing.

The latter looked at it carefully and did not show any displeasure. Instead, he said, "Wei Qing is young after all, so there is no need to be too harsh on him."

Yuan Xiong said "yes" and returned to the liberal arts class.

The senior officials couldn't help but feel puzzled.

What does this mean?
He just passed it over lightly!

Just a formality?

What should they do with the ammunition they just prepared?
Wei Yuan thought silently.

After the court meeting, Emperor Yuan Jing summoned all the officials in the court to the imperial study.

It's definitely not that he is diligent, as he even holds small court meetings.

This is about the request for military pay from the King of Huai.

Chu Xianglong also arrived and conveyed the King of Huai's exorbitant demands to the officials in the court!
Three hundred thousand taels of military pay!

Two hundred thousand stones of grain!

This caused the officials in the court to speak out in opposition and refute!

This is because last year's drought, locust plague and floods caused the grain harvest to be low!
That person said that in order to fight against the disaster, most of the grain reserves in various places have been used up, and there is really no extra food left!
In a word, no money and no food!

Chu Xianglong was obviously not someone who was easy to deal with.

Prepared the response early.

He caught the soldiers and cried about their hardship.

The senior officials still refused to give in.

"What about transporting them from various places?"

As soon as Yuan Jing said this.

Everyone knew what was going on.

I'm afraid I'll have to give in in the end.

Yuan Jing supports his brother as always!
How strange!

In the past, which emperor would tolerate his own brother holding such a large army?
Asking the court for military pay and food so arrogantly?
Even if the Prince of Huai is a third-rank military officer, there is no need to tolerate him like this.

The Minister of Revenue stepped out and said, "This journey to Chuzhou involves alternating between land and water routes, which is quite costly. I'm afraid less than half of our supplies will be left by the time we reach Chuzhou. Forcibly redeploying manpower would also delay the busy farming season."

In the game between the monarch and his subjects, even if you have guessed the outcome, you still have to give it another try.

There is no money in the court and no money in the treasury?
The princess made a lot of money from honeycomb coal!
You have to squeeze some out.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that there are steam trains that can travel a thousand miles a day."

Chu Xianglong didn't know whether he did it on purpose or was really ignorant of the truth.

Not only the officials in the court, but Yuan Jing also frowned.

"Deputy General Chu doesn't know much about steam trains. Considering the cost of laying steam train tracks, Prince Huai may not be able to wait."

A senior official stepped out.

There was a hint of contempt in his words.

A crude warrior!
I don’t understand anything!

Chu Xianglong's face froze.

The atmosphere was stagnant.

"What do you think, Wei Qing?"

Yuan Jing opened his mouth and asked Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan stepped out and said, "I have something to report to Your Majesty."

"Wei An had previously compiled a phonetic system to help young children learn to read. The dean, Mr. Ziyang, and Mr. Dong Liu all found it easy to learn and understand."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

Eunuch Liu came down and took it, then presented it to Emperor Yuan Jing.

The latter read it carefully and showed a look of relief. "In the past, some people called him 'Master Wei', which might be inadequate. From now on, anyone who studies can call him Master Wei, which is more than enough!"

"Otomo, share it with the nobles for inspection."

Yuan Jing was very happy.

His actions made it difficult to understand his attitude towards Wei An.

I heard that Wei An and the Princess were very frequent, could it be that...

Everyone was speculating.

Eunuch Liu handed it over to Wang Zhenwen first.

Although the latter had already seen it, he still pretended to do it.

"What do you think, Lord Wang?"

Yuan Jing waited for Wang Zhenwen to pass it on to the next person and asked.

"It's easy to remember and clear. Wei Wuyang is truly unprecedented and unparalleled in the way of education." Wang Zhenwen spoke in a high voice, unlike his usual calm style.

It doesn't stop there.

He congratulated Chen Tai and said, "Congratulations, Minister Chen, for finding such a good disciple. This is enough for your life."

"You are too kind to praise me, Prime Minister. I don't deserve it. He still needs to hone his skills." Chen Tai bowed hurriedly.

Why are we talking about Wei Wuyang again and what is the pinyin method?

Chu Xianglong frowned.

I cursed in my heart!
A bunch of bastards!

Deliberately changing the subject!

He was about to open his mouth to remind him, but Wei Yuan spoke again, "Mr. Ziyang and Mr. Dongliu thought this method was very popular, so they sent people to various states to teach it. These students agreed to come to Beijing to see Wei An after completing the teaching."

"A few days ago, students sent to Zhangzhou and Yuzhou arrived in Beijing. Since then, students have been coming to the capital from various states. Yesterday, Zhu Dong and others arrived in Beijing. These people were originally sent to Jianzhou, Chuzhou, and Yuzhou. They agreed to meet up with their friends in Debao County in the three states and spend the old age together."

"Students like Zhu Dong, who were bound for Jianzhou and Yuzhou, waited patiently in Bao County until they finally saw Lu Fu, who was bound for Chuzhou. By then, Lu Fu's soul was broken and covered in wounds, but he kept muttering..."

He explained the whole process and paused at the critical moment, attracting all the attention in the imperial study.

Everyone only heard him say in a deep voice, "A bloody massacre has spread over three thousand miles. Please send troops to suppress it!"

The Censorate fell into a moment of dead silence.

Yuan Jing was the first to explode, "Wei Yuan, you are being so incoherent, make your words clear!"

His words suppressed some people who were ready to make trouble.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case!"

Sadly, there are still idiots!
It’s not someone else, it’s Chu Xianglong!

All the senior officials sneered in their hearts.

They couldn't tell whether Chu Xianglong was really stupid or was deliberately hiding something.

Just now, Chu Xianglong kept saying that Prince Huai had repeatedly repelled the invading barbarians and monsters.

Yuan Jing glanced coldly at Chu Xianglong and looked at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Fu is currently recuperating in the academy. You can send a sorcerer from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to check on him at any time."
