Chapter 527 There is no most evil, only more evil

Junyi Bridge Street, on the banks of Jingling West Palace.

This is a small and exquisite teahouse with two doors and two floors high. The first floor is a hall and the second floor is a private room. In addition to serving tea, it also has some snacks.

It is time to have lunch tea now. The small teahouse is full of customers, the hall on the ground floor and the private rooms on the second floor are all full of guests. In the private rooms on the ground floor, there are artists who are "talking about three points". When it comes to the exciting parts, they attract a lot of cheers.

Ren Boyu had already changed into casual clothes and followed his son into the teahouse, walked all the way to the second floor, and then walked into a small private room. Inside the private room, a man in a blue Confucian uniform was standing, enjoying the scenery outside in front of the window. This person was Ji Yi.

"Ji Yizhi, is it so leisurely?"

Ren Boyu asked his son to guard the door, but walked in and stood beside Ji Yi, "Why haven't you been to Jingzhao Mansion to take up your post yet?"

"How can the matter in Jingzhao Mansion be as good as Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Then what are you talking about with me?"

Ren Boyu said lightly, and also turned his eyes out the window.

Outside the window is a sunny day.

However, the fierce sunshine still cannot stop the enthusiasm of Kaifeng Prefecture citizens to engage in commercial activities. The streets outside are full of traffic and vendors selling along the streets are everywhere.

This city of the best in the world is indeed much better than the increasingly depressed Jingzhao Mansion. However, staying in Kaifeng Mansion is definitely not a reason for Ji Yi to betray Zhang Dun...

"Do you know where did the lower officials go on the morning of January 13, the third year of Yuanfu, that is, when the late emperor died?"

"How could I know?" Ren Boyu's brows were already frowning. He had already felt that what Ji Yi was going to say might be related to the ascension of the official family!

"I've gone to Prince Duan's Mansion!"

"Duan Wang Mansion?" Ren Boyu was stunned, "Are you with the official family?"

"It's not only me," Ji Yi said, "Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu were also in the Duan Palace at that time, while Pan Xiao'an led the soldiers to the palace to welcome the palace to the palace when it was dawn."

"No..." Ren Boyu's brows frowned.

He heard the problem!

If Ji Yi was really with the official family on the morning of January 13, 3rd year of Yuanfu, Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu were together, and he also witnessed Pan Xiao'an coming to welcome the emperor... Then why is he not the official family's confidant?

Wu Haogu is now referring to Jiehe Shibosi, Pan Xiao'an is in charge of the Qionglin Garden Construction Station, and Gao Qiu is the leader of the former Knight. Moreover, the three of them have been promoted. Although they are not high-ranking officials, they all hold important positions and are definitely confidants of the Tian family.

Before the official ascended the throne, Ji Yi was also a figure in the Duan Wang Mansion circle, and she was also a Tanhualang. If she had indeed made the contribution of "protecting the palace" on January 13, 2013, the third year of Yuanfu, she would have to become the magistrate now.

Wu Haogu’s younger brother Wu Haowen is now a county magistrate, but Ji Yi is not. Before high school, Ji Yi was a ninth-rank Wenlinlang. His qualifications are far higher than Wu Haowen, and Ji Yi is the first in the provincial examination, and Wu Haowen is only the sixth...

Moreover, after high school, Ji Yi did not get the opportunity to join the Secretariat or serve as a two-member official. She just gave a judicial officer to join the army. This is not the treatment that the official confidant should have!

Could it be that he was dragged down by Zhang Dun?

Ren Boyu shook his head, it was impossible. Ji Yi seemed to have not married Zhang Dun's granddaughter at that time! That guy wouldn't have alienated the official family for a woman, right?

"I think it's wrong even if I say the truth, right?" Ji Yi smiled bitterly. "In fact, the official did not treat his subordinates badly, but the official did something that was sorry for the official, and almost misled the official's major affairs!"

Sorry to the official family? Ren Boyu looked at Ji Yi blankly, and couldn't think of what Ji Yi did to Zhao Ji that morning?

Ji Yi sighed again, "On that day, the lower official was ordered by Zhang Dun and his son Zhang Yuan to ask the official family to leave the royal palace to see a genuine copybook by Mrs. Wei!

If it weren't for Wu Haogu's obstacles and Pan Xiao'an arrived in time, the official family would have been led out of the palace by me. And the one sitting on the imperial throne now would probably be King Jian!"

"Ah!?" Ren Boyu widened his eyes. It turned out that Zhang Dun really wanted to rebel! And he almost succeeded! The two villains Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an had the merit of supporting the emperor, so no wonder they were so favored!

Ji Yi, a guy, participated in Zhang Dun's rebellion. Although most of them were deceived, he participated after all, so he wasted such a waste of time...

Ji Yi looked at Ren Boyu and sighed: "Real words, every word that Xiaguan said is true... Even if he arrives at the Censorate, Xiaguan will not change his words!"

Ren Boyu was sucking in the cold air. What Ji Yi said could really be dealt with in the direction of a major rebellion case! Even if a major case was not made in the end, it would still make the treacherous officials of the new party unable to take advantage of it.

"What benefits do you want?" Ren Boyu is not a three-year-old child, so he naturally knows that Ji Yi will not go to the Censorate to testify in vain that he offended the New Party to death!

Ji Yi smiled bitterly: "Ji's waste of time in the officialdom is destined... The official family is already lenient enough to pursue Ji's crimes, and can still hope to be recommended to join the two governments in the future? However, Ji was born in a giant business family. In addition to being an official, he can also make money. If it is Mr. Han and Mr. Fan who can ask Mr. Ji to be promoted to Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse for a long time, then Mr. Ji will be at ease."

Is this a broken can and a greedy amount of money in Quanzhou?

Ren Boyu thought about it and still felt something was wrong, "Are Zeng Bu, An Tao and the others unwilling to let you go to Quanzhou?"

Ji Yi snorted softly: "If they were willing to let Xiaguan go to Quanzhou, how could Xiaguan stay in Kaifeng Prefecture and not leave? This Quanzhou is full of gold!"

Ren Boyu is still skeptical.

Ji Yi said again: "Also, they don't know what happened in the early morning of January 13, the third year of Yuanfu... If they knew, they would be afraid they would not be spared!"

So that's it! Ren Boyuxin said: Ji Yi is still too young... Zeng Bu, An Tao, and Zhao Tingzhi would probably impeach Zhang Dun more actively than himself!

...

"Impossessed Zhang Dun to rebel? Yisou, this matter is not a trap, right?"

"What can I do if I have a trap? The censors have heard of the rumors. Even if there is no such thing, the government can still punish them?"

"Something should be some...you can also find someone to verify."

"Yes! Shi Pu, this is an opportunity! If Zhang Dun's rebellion case was made solid, Zeng Bu would not be able to escape. He was the affairs of the Privy Council at that time."

Of course, Ren Boyu did not dare to disobey Han Zhongyan. Fan Chunli blindly reported to impeach Zhang Dun for rebellion. So that night, Han Zhongyan and Fan Chunli had a secret conversation in the study room of the Han Mansion.

After discussing for a long time, they both thought that this was an excellent opportunity to fall from the sky, but this opportunity came a little bit! Why did it come when Empress Meng was about to be ruined?

The matter of Empress Meng cannot be restored by reasoning, because the reason is on the side of the treacherous ministers! However, the case of Zhang Dun's rebellion can bring down the treacherous ministers... As long as the treacherous ministers are overturned, even if Empress Meng cannot be protected, there will be no big deal.

If Zhang Dun became a rebel, Zhao Tingzhi, Li Qingchen, An Tao, and Jiang Zhiqi might not be afraid. But Zeng Bu, Xu General, Cai Jing and others who were all following Zhang Dun at that time would definitely not be able to protect them. Even if they were not labeled as a rebel, they would have to go home to eat old rice.

Moreover... Zhang Dun is the leader of the new party. If he wants to make him a rebel, it is impossible for Zhao Tingzhi to preside over it.

In other words, the position of the Censor Central Committee will definitely fall into the hands of the old party. In this way, the censorship system will become a tool of the old party...

Besides, there seems to be no risk in this matter. Even if the impeachment fails, it will not cause any damage to the old party, right?

However, Han Zhongyan was still careful and sent his confidant to find Gao Qiu that night (Gao Qiu lives in the city, Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an are both outside the city) to verify the situation. After confirming that Ji Yi was really ordered to lure Zhao Ji out of the palace that day, he finally made up his mind to impeach Zhang Dun to rebel!

...

"Dalang, good news! The traitor of the New Party is going to be finished this time!"

The next morning, Wu Haogu had just finished washing up and was about to have breakfast. Gao Qiu, who had been excited for a night, visited the Lihua Villa and brought him a "great news" that the new party was about to be finished!

"Impossible!" Wu Haogu immediately shook his head. The history book clearly stated that it was the end of the old party! Gao Qiu, you have made the mistake of historical nihilism!

"How is it impossible?" Gao Qiu looked at Pan Qiaolian and Ximen Qing who were accompanying Wu Haogu for breakfast, and then saw Luohanbi and Jin Ping'er who were busy putting white porridge, crab noodles, pickles and salted granola (salted duck eggs) on the table without finding any outsiders!

"I can't be wrong!" Gao Qiu lowered his voice, "Ji Yi betrayed the new party and reported Zhang Dun's rebellion to Ren Boyu! Last night, Han Zhongyan's son came to my house to ask about this... Ren Boyu is about to impeach Zhang today!

Zhang Dun's rebellion case has been completed. Think about it, aren't all the traitors of the New Party? Now there are all the traitors in the court, and there are no more traitors who harm the country and the people who harm the people!”

How could there be no traitors? Wu Haogu looked at Gao Qiu and thought to himself: You Taiwei Gao is a traitor! There are three eunuchs, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, and Yang Jian! There are also two traitors who will soon become officials... How could there be no traitors?

No! It seems that the old party is going to be over in history, and soon Cai Jing will become the prime minister... Could it be that his butterfly effect has changed history?

"Why did Ji Yizhi betray the new party?" Pan Qiaolian was a little confused and interjected, "Is it good for him to do this?"

"Oh, he wants to be the chief of Quanzhou Maritime Control Department," Gao Qiu said, "That's a fat man. How can he earn a million in a few years? "

"To make money?" Wu Haogu frowned. Although Ji Yi was not a good guy, she was not a greedy person. She wouldn't have sold the new party for a few dollars, right?
