The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 284 284. Ending

After Bai Dalang became the Prime Minister, he naturally understood the pros and cons.

If this matter is left to Feng Jinxu, I'm afraid these people will be thrown into prison by him.

But Bai Dalang chose to just write a list and submit it, also for the good of Dajin.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the same goes for the imperial court.

It is unrealistic to expect all loyal ministers to be loyal, and if they were to roll their hats off, they would be thrown into prison, and it would be a troublesome matter to select someone to take their place.

Therefore, it is not practical to take action until everything is settled.

Bai Dalang understands this truth, and Emperor Qi understands it even more.

Feng Hai and Ying Qin have also been officials for many years, so they naturally know how powerful they are.

So, Bai Dalang said to Emperor Qi.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, I feel that this matter should be handled secretly. The leaders, Wen Jingsong and his son, will naturally punish them vigorously as a warning to others, and the poor men who were replaced should also be recalled and hired to give an explanation to the world. As for those powerful people who have taken over official positions, they should also pay the price for what they have done."

"Now that so many families are involved, bones and tendons are broken, it's troublesome for anyone to touch them. Does Aiqing have any ideas?"

"Your Majesty, instead of combining them to control them, it is better to separate them. After careful investigation of these people, they are either nephews or brothers, or even worse, they are relatives. In this case, your Majesty simply gives the order These families can only keep one person as an official in the court, and the rest need to leave voluntarily to avoid suspicion. As for whether to protect themselves or others, let each family deal with this headache. In this way, the court will not be able to There will be too much turmoil, but their family power will also fall apart and become untenable."

Emperor Qi glanced at Bai Dalang appreciatively, this was a good idea.

After waiting for more than half a month, the nobles who had committed the crime were so frightened that all the trees and grass were in panic.

Looking at the miserable situation of the Wen family and his son in prison, he was afraid that he would be the next one to have his house confiscated.

Bai Dalang's method can not only save their faces, but also allow them to kill each other after weighing the pros and cons. They originally wanted to have an official to protect them, but now only one person is left, and they don't get beaten to a bloody head.

It is indeed wonderful.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear. You have served in the cabinet for many years and have always been diligent. You have done well in these recent errands. I see that the Ministry of Works has a vacant position as a doctor in the Ministry of Water. It would be a good time for you to go."

The position of Doctor of the Ministry of Water is the third rank. If he goes up one level, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. It is an official position on the same level as Feng Hai. Compared with his previous rank of cabinet bachelor of the fifth rank, he has been promoted by two levels.

Bai Dalang secretly sighed in his heart. After so many years as an official, this was the first time that he wanted to climb up so aggressively.

Now that I got what I wanted, I naturally want to thank His Majesty for your kindness.

As a result, they shouted long live to Emperor Qi, and both Feng Hai and Ying Qin received awards, but they were not as glorious as Bai Dalang.

Soon, Emperor Qi's imperial edict was quietly sent to the noble families involved in the fraud case.

Sure enough, in order to compete for a place as an official in the court, he almost had to be beaten to death.

I don't want my hard work over the years to come to an end, and my son feels that a good future cannot be ruined because of this. What's more, my nephew comes directly to block the door and refuse to let me go.

For the sake of profit, all kinds of ugly faces come out.

Emperor Qi watched them quarreling like this with cold eyes for several days without saying a word.

It wasn't until the emperor's list of how to deal with the Wen family was posted that one or two of them all stopped.

On the cusp of the storm, there were several people sitting in Bai Xiang's study.

The three brothers and sisters of the Feng family came to visit Bai Xiang on an excuse. It happened that Bai Dalang was also at home today.

His promotion did not cause a big splash in the capital. After all, everyone was busy watching the fate of the Wen family and his son, and fighting each other in the officialdom.

Compared with the luxuriant flowers, the sinister world is more interesting to people.

Feng Jinyao sat in front of the tea table, making tea for Bai Xiang. Feng Jinxu and Feng Jinlin both listened to their uncle's words.

"Ayao's method is really powerful."

After Bai Dalang informed His Majesty of the method of treating those people, not only was he promoted to two levels, but he was now a close minister in front of His Majesty.

Although his third-grade position is not high, even the Wei family is a little afraid of him now.

Feng Jinyao smiled and said without taking any credit for this matter.

"My niece just mentioned it casually. It was my uncle who thought of the good idea."

Her gentle temperament is somewhat different from that of the eldest sister back then.

Bai Dalang looked at her making tea and felt a little dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to his youth.

At that time, the eldest sister also liked to sit in her father's study making tea and drinking tea like this, but it was hard for him and the fourth brother. They were either scolded with a straight face or forced to copy books. They did not have the freedom of the eldest sister at all.

A smile appeared on his lips and he said to her again.

"One family doesn't speak the same language. I just thought of some details, but it was you who came up with the good idea. Your aunt said she would ask you to sit at her place later and discuss anything with you."

It was now April, and the day when she would be born was not far away.

She already had a rough idea of ​​what her aunt wanted to discuss with her.

So he nodded and agreed, "I'll be there later."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their warmth seemed particularly harmonious in the study.

"Has the Wen family been sentenced?"

Bai Xiang closed his eyes tightly and asked.

It was Feng Jinxu who answered his words, his face still expressionless as usual, and he said calmly, "It's sentenced, the father and son will be quartered and executed three days later!"

Hearing this, Feng Jinyao's hand that was pouring water paused, and the originally smooth voice stopped for a while, and then continued.

Feng Er thought that his sister was a little scared when she heard the five horses dismembering the body, so she interrupted.

"His Majesty has become ruthless this time. He probably took out his anger on the father and son for not being able to rectify the courtiers. But they deserve it. They even dared to cheat like this in the imperial examination. How audacious!"

When he thought that his friend Yin Canwen and some unknown scholars from poor families were greatly affected by this, he wished that the Wen family and his son would be executed tomorrow.

Feng Jinyao, who was sitting next to him, did not relax at all.

Seeing the tea leaves rolling back and forth in the boiling water, the breath in my heart finally came out slowly.

It has been almost half a year since she was reborn, and God finally opened his eyes and punished the evildoers.

When she thinks of their faces in the past, Feng Jinyao still feels uneasy.

I'm afraid she can only come out of it completely when everything is settled. Therefore, before Wen Meng's life or death, she must go to send him off and settle the grudges from the past life.
