Xie Chenghui glanced at his father displeasedly: "Anyway, you should avoid getting involved in this kind of thing in the future. Taifu Jing is the teacher of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he also holds the position of chief minister of the cabinet. He even promoted Mr. Jiang to the cabinet out of the ordinary. You Which side is he on?"
Only then did Archbishop Xie realize that Mr. Jing seemed to be invisible in this matter. How come he didn't speak out?
Whether he agrees or disagrees, he doesn't seem to have clearly stated his position.
But every time someone was extremely opposed to the Queen of Heaven, he would always use His Highness as an excuse.
It is said that His Royal Highness is lively, sensible, and very independent. He is young but articulate and good at expressing his emotions. He will definitely be a good prince in the future.
He also told everyone in disguise that there was no need to worry about the Queen of Heaven raising His Highness to waste, because His Highness still had his own ideas until now.
It's just that everyone doesn't believe that the Queen of Heaven, who has tasted the peak of power, can still let go of the sharp sword called power in her hand.
The second day——
Xie Huai was still walking on the way to court when he heard that his brother-in-law had committed a crime and had been imprisoned by Ma Yiyang, the Minister of Punishment.
His wife fainted after hearing the bad news.
The brother-in-law is his wife's only brother and the only male to carry on the family lineage.
Mrs. Xie was eighteen years older than her brother, so she doted on her brother-in-law as her own son.
Xie Huai knew that he had offended the Queen of Heaven, so something happened to his wife's natal family.
He hurriedly ran away and finally reached the Ministry of Punishment, but was stopped by the people from the Ministry of Punishment: "Master Xie, the people imprisoned here are some extremely vicious thugs. You come from a scholarly family and a noble family, and you come to do this in this dirty place." What?"
Didn't he criticize the Queen of Heaven, saying that his family's mother-in-law had a bad background and was inevitably greedy for power?
These officials from the Ministry of Punishments had long received orders from Ma Yiyang to humiliate the great scholar Xie.
What happened to your height?
Can you humiliate people like this?
These poor people from grassroots backgrounds also know what etiquette, justice and shame are, what should be done and what should not be done?
No wonder the Master Taifu did not include Xie Huai in the cabinet, but instead elected the Queen Mother's father. Now it seems that the old man still has a vision.
Otherwise, if this superior person who divides people into three, six or nine grades is selected, it will only benefit the aristocratic family in the future, and the people will suffer.
Xie Huai didn't know yet that the inappropriate remarks he made when he misunderstood that his son liked the Queen of Heaven had been publicized by Jiang Xinyue.
The emperor originally suppressed aristocratic families, emphasized the importance of imperial examinations, and selected people from poor families to serve as officials. He said that people from poor families were short-sighted and prone to greed. He was basically questioning the emperor's vision.
The Criminal Department is a mixed bag, and Ma Yiyang himself comes from a grassroots background, so he chooses and appoints people regardless of their background, as long as they have real ability.
Xie Huai's words were a jab in their spines.
Mrs. Xie's younger brother is the younger brother of the Pang family. The Pang family was also a noble family in the early years. However, after the emperor ascended the throne, he despised the family and became a poor family, and the Pang family has long since declined.
The Pang family fell ill a few years ago and died, leaving only Pang Xiaolangjun, who was pampered to no end by Mrs. Xie.
He can be regarded as a demon king in Beijing. He likes to tease cats and dogs and tease women from good families.
For the sake of Grand Scholar Xie, everyone in the capital would always tolerate the little devil and not argue with him.
He is also timid, and only dares to tease with words, but does not dare to take any substantive actions.
But this time Jiang Xinyue plotted against him, how could he escape?
The orphan girl who was sold on the street to bury her father was a tea girl found from a brothel for twenty taels of silver. She cried a few words and was as weak as a white lotus, which aroused the little devil's desire to play tricks.
He insisted on robbing common people's girls and seduced beautiful orphan girls in the street with a few friends. This was seen by the people in the capital.
The orphan girl looked weak, but had an extremely strong temper. One after another, she hit the stone lions at the door of someone else's house and died.
Pang Xiaolangjun was frightened on the spot. He was caught by the Punishment Department and was taken back to the Punishment Department prison.
Moreover, the family where the orphan girl hit a stone lion was unwilling to give in. The young man had ruined their family's feng shui and demanded compensation from the Xie family.
This is all a trivial matter, mainly because after Jiang Yankun entered the cabinet, the new Minister of Punishment, Ma Yiyang, was a ruthless man. I heard that there were more than a dozen types of torture in the prison of the Punishment Department than when Jiang Yankun was there.
Each one can make people miserable.
That's why Mrs. Xie Pang was so frightened that she fainted to death when she learned that her brother was being taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
That place is hard to get in and out of!
If anything happens out of fear, the Pang family will be in ruins.
"You...you..."
Xie Huai pointed at a group of second-rate police officers from the Criminal Department with trembling fingers, his face turning red with anger.
How could he not know that his brother-in-law's robbery in the street was a trap set by the Queen of Heaven's Order of the Ministry of Punishment for him?
He knew very well who his brother-in-law was, and even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to cause harm to anyone.
But what could he say?
My brother-in-law killed people in full public view. He knew that it was a trap but it would not work and the people would not believe it.
If the Ministry of Punishment executed the brother-in-law according to the law, they would have nothing to say.
The Queen Mother's powerful methods really made him miserable.
The brother-in-law was injured, and his wife would probably hang herself from the beam.
This is going to destroy his family!
"Master Xie has a noble character. Maybe he has some misunderstandings about my mother-in-law, so she speaks unscrupulously in the palace. My mother-in-law is willing to give Master Xie a chance to clear up the misunderstanding. I wonder what your thoughts are?"
Magpie left the palace today with the purchasing eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Sometimes, the Queen of Heaven has some gadgets and snacks, so she followed the Ministry of Internal Affairs out of the palace and would not attract too much attention.
In particular, she had already negotiated a marriage with Meng Qingyu. Everyone in the palace knew that it was not a big deal for her to ask the Queen of Heaven for grace to leave the palace and make a date with Guard Meng.
They would never have imagined that the magpie came out of the palace not for romance, but to do business for the Queen of Heaven.
The most trusted maids around the Queen of Heaven are all out. Can Xie Huai still say no?
In a teahouse on the street, Jiang Xinyue, dressed in black, revealed her charming face from her cloak.
Jiang Chuan filled a cup of tea for her: "Madam, will Bachelor Xie come?"
"He must come."
If her wife, Pang Zi, faints to death and cannot make him look back, and insists on being with those pedantic people, then Mr. Pang Xiaolang's fake crime will become a real crime.
Just let him be loyal and courageous, and let his family be ruined.
Reform always involves bloodshed.
