The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

Who can withstand such a big label of "Yan Dang is looking down on human life"?

In both the government and the public, inside and outside the capital, there are at least ten thousand officials of the sixth rank and above of the Yan party. They all have to bear such a bad reputation, so that's okay. Nobles and bureaucrats cherish their reputation very much.

"Li Shangshu, you are talking nonsense! You are slandering us!"

"Humph, why are you slandering? The son of Magistrate Sun of Fangxi County saw his father's tragic death and wanted to appeal for an explanation. However, there was no way to appeal. Cui Linggong actually joined forces with the ministers of the DPRK to suppress the memorial. The Queen Mother Your Majesty and I didn’t even have a chance to see the book. The son of Magistrate Sun had no way to complain, sold his property, went to Yundu in person, went to Li’s house, and cried to beg for justice for his father!”

Li Fan was very emotional and extremely indignant, "Master Yan, Master Cui, that is a living human life, it is not an understatement in your mouth, what does it matter if you die!"

Mu Tingxue walked into the palace and happened to see this scene.

Zuo Pushe criticized the general meaning righteously.

Zhongshu Ling Cui Shining looked ugly, lowered his head and sighed.

The right servant shot Yan Xi without giving an inch, and he quarreled with the man surnamed Li, spittle flying everywhere.

Several other important ministers stood in two teams, each arguing in his own way. When the quarrel got heated, they raised the wat board in their hands and tried to beat each other.

The queen mother was sitting behind a large table made of golden nanmu wood, rubbing her forehead and temples, looking like she was suffering from a headache.

"Qingyuan——"

Queen Mother Yan was very tired, but when she saw her daughter appearing, she finally smiled and said, "Come to the Ai family."

These annoying old men come to disturb people's peace early in the morning. I really want to kick them out!

Daughter is the best, I feel like it when I see her.

"Meet the Queen Mother."

Mu Tingxue saluted her mother, and then greeted all the cabinet ministers and ministers one by one with a smile.

The originally extremely anxious atmosphere in the hall has eased a lot.

Mu Tingxue walked over to her mother and stood next to her. She was only the third-rank Minister of Household Affairs. Her Royal Highness, any of the old men she picked up, had higher official positions than her. How could she sit down? The imperial officialdom was very particular about seniority.

The current battle is a bit similar to a court meeting.

Queen Mother Yan felt better, so she looked at Cui Shining, the culprit, and asked sternly: "Cui Linggong, are you really colluding with the ministers of the court to suppress the suffering master's memorial?"

She didn't see the complaint filed by Magistrate Sun's son.

It shows that in Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Province, the memorial was flooded or burned.

Whether it is the queen mother who listens behind the curtain, the regent, or the young emperor, they are all very taboo about this kind of thing. This is tantamount to the fact that the ministers are good at making opinions and blinding the monarch's hearing.

Cui Shining said bitterly: "Back to the Queen Mother, I failed to restrain the clan members properly. When moving the ancestral graves, local officials along the way took the initiative to send carriages, horses and labor, and it was hard to refuse their kindness. Magistrate Sun was exhausted, who would have thought that ? Afterwards, the Cui family came to the door with many expensive gifts and ten thousand taels of silver, but the son of County Magistrate Sun refused to accept it. Alas, the minister sent someone to send ten times the compensation, sincerely apologized, and wanted to make peace, but Sun County Magistrate The son of Ling refused to give up and made sure to make the matter bigger, not only in Fangxi County, but also in Yundu..."

Mu Tingxue thought to herself.

Ten thousand taels of silver, plus expensive gifts? This compensation is very high.

The county magistrate's annual salary is only a little more, and the grain is converted into silver, which is only more than one hundred taels.

Even if the Sun family is a wealthy squire in Fangxi County, they have some land and their property is far less than ten thousand taels. And afterwards, Cui Shining increased the compensation tenfold, to one hundred thousand taels of silver. Normal people would have happily accepted it. The settlement was settled out of court, and the big matter was reduced to a trivial matter. No one can live with the huge wealth that falls from the sky.

But the son of Magistrate Sun is not the same. He must make the trouble known to the whole world. It seems that there is someone behind this kind of behavior...

How dare the son of a county magistrate challenge Cui?

The gentry class in the county is accustomed to exploiting lower-class villagers to acquire land, and flattering and currying favor with the powerful.

The greatest possibility is that Lijia supported the son of Magistrate Sun and gave him more benefits, allowing him to charge into the battle and become Lidang's sword against Yandang.

She can figure out things that her unbelieving mother would never think of.

But this is difficult to do, and it is difficult to do when human lives are at stake. If the Queen Mother blindly protects Cui Shining, she will be criticized by scholars all over the world. In addition, the dignitaries of the aristocratic families have long been dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's regency and want the young emperor to rule personally. They will definitely use this to attack the Queen Mother, Si Chen, and others.

Li Fan took a step forward, with a fake smile on his face, and said in a strange manner: "Cui Linggong, why are you doing this? Since a life has been caused, you should take the initiative to send the Cui family members who were responsible for moving the ancestral tombs to the Ministry of Punishment to surrender. I believe The Empress Dowager will treat you leniently because of your many years of service to the court. Why are you so ignorant that you deceive your superiors and conceal your subordinates to form a clique for personal gain, rely on your strength to bully the son of the county magistrate, and burn the petition to cut off all avenues of communication. But I lament that the Empress Dowager trusted you so much. In the past, she overcame all opinions and entrusted you with the post of Zhongshu Ling and joined the cabinet to serve as Prime Minister. You are ungrateful and instead deceived her. How is this possible?"

Ginger is always spicy after all.

Cui Shining was so angry that he was shaking all over and his eyes were red: "You..."

His father had never fought against Li Fan. In the past, under the operation of Li Dang and the late emperor, his father and Yan Yang's father died tragically one after another.

Now he came to Yundu, wanting to avenge his father and deal with Li Dang, but accidentally, he was framed, and people ridiculed him unscrupulously.

He should have thought long ago that Magistrate Sun and his son were simply a trap prepared by Leaving the Party!

Surrender?

If he really takes his clan members to surrender, Li Fan will definitely use the topic again. He wishes he could involve the entire Cui family and orchestrate a serious crime to kill the three clans!

Cui Shining was really mute and couldn't tell the story of his sufferings. In order to prevent Empress Dowager Yan from becoming dissatisfied with him, she hurriedly said: "I don't know how to manage my family. The three Cui family members who were responsible for moving the ancestral tombs have been sent to me." He is imprisoned within the clan and is at the mercy of the Queen Mother at any time."

Li Shangshu laughed strangely and fanned the dark wind to light up the will-o'-the-wisp: "Incarceration within the clan? The clan prison of a large clan is, after all, just a private prison. What's the point? When Tan Liu committed a crime, the Tan family did not imprison him within the clan, but It has been handed over to the regent to judge the case impartially and deal with it selflessly.”

The words "impartiality" and "selfless" are very strong and full of irony.

Mu Tingxue's sharp eyes pierced through her.

Moved the regents out.

If today's mother does not punish Cui Shining, Li will accuse Yan Yang of unfair handling of the case, and Li Dang will demand that the Tan family be overturned.

Yan Yang will lose his reputation and prestige.
