Chapter 340 The lower official came to kill you.
There is a saying that if the king wants his minister to die, he will have to die.
But Cui Yan, he doesn’t want to die, he wants to live!
Not long after, Cui Yan stepped into the imperial study, immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, Cui Yan."
quiet!
Deathly silence!
Emperor Qin lowered his head and said nothing.
Cui Yan knew this, so he didn't panic in his heart. No matter how panicked, he couldn't save his life. It was better to calm down and have a game with His Majesty, maybe he could find a way out.
Now, his backing is no longer Emperor Qin, but the Dao Sect, and the Dao Sect still needs him.
Emperor Qin raised his head in surprise. He wondered where Cui Yan's confidence came from. He was so indifferent. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized.
It can be seen from the court meeting that Cui Yan is relying on Daomen.
In other words, Cui Yan became the spokesperson of Taoism in the court.
So what?
A sneer appeared on Qin Huang's lips, he picked up the evidence presented by Jin Yiwei and threw it directly on the ground, landing in front of Cui Yan.
"Look, look, what bastard things have you done." Qin Huang slammed the table and said angrily.
Cui Yan had a bad feeling in his heart. He originally thought it was about the morning meeting, but now it seems that it is not the case.
For a moment, my calm mood finally became chaotic.
If the incident happened this morning, it was a political disagreement after all, so it would not be an unforgivable crime, let alone put him to death.
But the same cannot be said for other things.
Cui Yan bent down and slowly picked up the paper. He opened the paper uneasily and read it carefully.
At first, Cui Yan's expression changed slightly. The things recorded in it were all well-documented.
Here, I have to praise Jin Yiwei's ability to do things.
To be honest, the court did not want to pursue the case, otherwise few people in the court would be clean.
When he was halfway through reading, Cui Yan's face was as white as paper.
He didn't even finish it because it was meaningless. The first few items were enough to make him die without a burial place.
Most of them are for his beloved son.
I didn't expect it to come to this.
Cui Yan's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground. Then he suddenly remembered and knelt down on the ground quickly, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. These things are all due to my confusion.
The old minister got a son from time to time, doted on him, and committed a huge disaster, so the old minister had to take action to put things right.
I hope your Majesty will understand the veteran minister's desire to protect his son. "
As he talked, Cui Yan revealed his true feelings. After all, his only son had just died and now he was framed again.
Emperor Qin snorted angrily and said, "According to what you say, every minister who commits a crime blames the dead person for the crime. Do you think you can be lawless?"
"These things are happening one after another, is there anything wrong?" Emperor Qin said coldly.
Cui Yan's heart sank to the bottom, and a look of despair appeared on his face, knowing that he would not be able to escape this disaster today.
Without even an explanation, he knelt on the ground in a daze, waiting for Daomen to come to rescue him.
If the Taoist sect doesn't save him, he will die. If the Taoist sect comes, there may be a glimmer of hope.
Cui Yan is doomed to think too much. In such a sensitive period, Daomen can't even enter the palace, so how can he save Cui Yan.
After Cui Yan's son reported it, the Taoist clan closed its doors and did not come forward.
The Taoist sect already knows about today's morning meeting. Cui Yan has finished using it, so why bother to spend a lot of effort to rescue him? The gain outweighs the loss.
On the other hand, they can't enter the palace, and the Taoist sect can't even see Emperor Qin's face, so there's no talk of rescue. There's really nothing they can do to help.
If the three major masters of Taoism were here, maybe they could give it a try.
After sitting and waiting, Cui Yan finally didn't wait for Daomen to arrive and gave up. ..
At this moment, he knew not to trust others easily.
At this moment, I don’t know if it’s despair or something else…
Cui Yan looked dumbfounded and did not defend himself. His heart sank to the bottom and there was no room for improvement.
"Your Majesty, no matter how the punishment is given, the humble minister has no complaints. I don't know who is reporting the old minister, so that the old minister will know his death." Cui Yan had a cold face, knelt on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head, and asked respectfully.
Even if he dies, he must die clearly.
Emperor Qin pondered for a moment and then said: "This matter was brought forward by the Jin Yiwei, not an individual."
Cui Yan nodded, he already knew who it was.
Ji Chuan!
Apart from this person, he couldn't think of anyone who would be bored enough to look through Jin Yiwei's files.
Some of the things here can even be traced back to several years ago. No one who is not a political opponent is bored.
Only now did Cui Yan regret that he should not have offended Ji Chuan. It would have been better if he had let the Xuanyin sect apologize for his son. Why did he have to drag Ji Chuan along?
However, it was too late to regret now.
When things are done, they are done. There is no regret medicine in the world.
"I thank your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Cui Yan kowtowed violently. After a long time, he raised his head, with a trace of blood on his forehead.
"Old minister, I have an unkind request." Cui Yan looked calm, as if he didn't care about life and death.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Qin frowned slightly. A guilty person had a lot of things going on.
"I hope your majesty can let Wei Chen's family go. They are not guilty. They are all implicated by the old minister."
Speaking of this, Cui Yan's voice rarely sounded like crying, and he looked at Emperor Qin pleadingly.
This is absolutely natural!
Emperor Qin did not refuse, nodded and said: "For the sake of your diligence, I agree to this matter."
Immediately afterwards, without letting Cui Yan continue to speak, Emperor Qin said calmly: "Cui Yan will be removed from the post of Minister of War and will be imprisoned in a prison pending trial."
After saying that, two soldiers walked in outside the royal study, took off the flower feathers on Cui Yan's head, and escorted him towards the prison.
Emperor Qin watched this scene quietly and shook his head. What would happen to Cui Yan had nothing to do with him.
"Sir, Cui Yan is being held in the sky prison. Do you want to take a look?" Xu Yihai has been waiting. As soon as he heard the news, he came to report.
Ji Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said, "Let's go see Cui Shangshu."
Heavenly prison!
Ji Chuan slowly walked into the sky prison and came to a cell. He looked at an old man sitting on the withered grass inside.
This person is none other than Cui Yan!
However, after being stripped of the flower feathers on his head, he is no longer as high-spirited as before and is just an ordinary old man.
"Why, Ji Qianhu came to see my joke?" Cui Yan narrowed his eyes, looked at Ji Chuan standing outside the prison, and said calmly.
Ji Chuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Cui is joking, I'm not here to see your joke."
Cui Yan said coldly: "Then what are you doing here?"
"I wonder if your Excellency still remembers what the official said before, everything has just begun, we will wait and see..."
Ji Chuan said slowly with a cold voice.
Cui Yan laughed and said: "Ji Qianhu is in trouble, and he said he didn't come to see Cui's joke. I'm so depressed. Do I have to admit that Cui has lost?"
Ji Chuan continued to shake his head and said, "The official said he was just here to see a joke."
Ji Chuan suddenly smiled and said, "I came here to kill you. If I don't kill you with my own hands, I'm afraid that the Taoist sect will take advantage of me."
