Joy of Life: Season 2 庆余年第二季 Episode 10

Qin Ye was not only an envoy of the Privy Council, he also held military power and made many military exploits. He was the number one person in the Nanqing military. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty respected him. Emperor Qing also looked at him differently. Every time he went to court, he asked people to give him to Qin. Ye and Lin Ruofu prepared two chairs, while Prince Li Chengqian and the princes could only stand. Qin Ye came to the main hall early. He sat on one of the chairs and closed his eyes to relax.

Lin Ruofu swaggered to the front of the palace, and all the civil and military officials nodded and bowed to him. Even the prince Li Chengqian smiled and gestured to him. Fan Xian stood aside and watched with cold eyes. He did not expect that his future father-in-law Lin Ruofu would be so impressive. Chen Pingping came to court in a wheelchair. Fan Jian deliberately waited for Chen Pingping outside. He sent away the guards of the inspection institute and pushed Chen Pingping to the main hall. He suspected that Chen Pingping was supporting Fan Xian behind the scenes, otherwise Fan Xian would not dare to act so boldly. Chen Pingping He denied it, but Fan Jian didn't believe it at all.

When Lai Mingcheng, the censor of Zuodu, saw Fan Xian, he became very angry and swore at him. Li Chengqian took the opportunity to fan the flames in front of Fan Xian. Fan Xian was so angry that he wanted to rush up and argue with Lai Mingcheng, but Li Chengqian hurriedly pulled Fan Xian to On the other hand, let them distinguish right from wrong in the court. There is a small slope in front of the main hall. Chen Pingping's wheelchair is too heavy. Fan Jian tried several times and failed to push the wheelchair up. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He suspected that Chen Pingping had hidden something in the wheelchair. Chen Pingping laughed and said that there were thousands of troops hidden in it. Fan Jian only thought he was joking and didn't take him seriously. Fan Jian couldn't push up this slope despite all his efforts.

Li Chengru also came to the main hall to watch the excitement. He quickly stepped forward to replace Fan Jian and pushed Chen Pingping up without any effort. Li Chengru wanted to see how Fan Xian would deal with the impeachment of the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate. Fan Xian already had a plan in mind, but Fan Jian was worried and reminded Fan Xian not to let go for a while. Emperor Qing then arrived and asked Eunuch Hou to show Fan Xian's eight-character self-defense letter of "What crime is there for a treacherous minister in power?" to all civil and military officials to read one by one.

Lai Mingcheng was the first to stand up and impeach Fan Xian, accusing him of accepting bribes and being arrogant and bending the law. Fan Xian refused to plead guilty and complained that he was wronged. Lai Mingcheng took out a thick witness statement. Emperor Qing did not read it and sent someone to call Dai The father-in-law went to court to confront him. Emperor Qing asked Chen Pingping to first express his views on Fan Xian's accusation. Chen Pingping suspected that Fan Xian was corrupt and perverting the law, and emphasized that he looked at everyone as a lawless person. Emperor Qing deliberately moved Lin Ruofu out to talk things out. Chen Pingping felt that he was more like a corrupt official, and all civil and military officials were in an uproar.

Emperor Qing asked Qin Ye to express his opinion. Qin Ye supported Fan Xian and praised him profusely. He even praised him in public for seducing a saint from the Northern Qi Dynasty and strengthening the power of the Southern Qing Dynasty. All civil and military officials covered their mouths and snickered. Fan Xian was so frightened that he denied it repeatedly. Lin Ruofu felt indignant and pretended to be calm. When Eunuch Dai learned that Emperor Qing had told him to confront Fan Xian, he was already frightened out of his mind. The guards had to drag him to the palace. He didn't even know he had dropped his boots. Hong Zhu was worried that Eunuch Dai would be held accountable for his unbecoming behavior in front of the palace. , put on his boots with his own hands.

Dai Gonggong came to the hall tremblingly. Lai Mingcheng brought out witness statements to accuse him. Fan Xian persuaded Dai Gonggong to plead guilty. Three thousand taels of silver would not convict him of a felony. Unexpectedly, the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already investigated him. Lai Mingcheng was one by one. He listed various crimes of corruption and abuse of law committed by Eunuch Dai over the years in charge of the Vegetable Picking Department, and also handed the collected evidence to Emperor Qing for review. Lin Ruofu stood up to object, accusing Lai Mingcheng of jumping to the next level and causing trouble to Emperor Qing. He was worried that in the long run the six departments would slack off and disrupt the imperial court. Emperor Qing felt that it was reasonable. Lai Mingcheng and Lin Ruofu argued with each other, and even asked him to avoid suspicion on the grounds that Lin Ruofu was Fan Xian's future father-in-law. Lin Ruofu had no choice but to make concessions. Emperor Qing asked Eunuch Dai to see the evidence of his crime. Seeing that the matter was exposed, Eunuch Dai had no choice but to arrest him. Emperor Qing ordered him to be beheaded.

Lai Mingcheng begged Emperor Qing to punish Fan Xian, but Fan Xian instead accused him of framing the prince Li Chengze. Li Chengze was also picking up vegetables on the day of the incident. If Li Chengze saw him accepting the three thousand taels of silver from his father-in-law and did not report it, This is tantamount to admitting that Li Chengze is complicit with him. Li Chengze admitted that he saw Fan Xian collect the money with his own eyes, but he felt that Fan Xian had a reason for this. Fan Xian announced in public that he collected the money to catch a big fish in the long run, and he handed the banknote to Chen Pingping that day. Chen Pingping stood up and defended Fan Xian testified.

Lai Mingcheng knew that Fan Xian was denying it, so he argued with him. Fan Xian and Lai Mingcheng refused to give in to each other. They started to argue with each other. Fan Xian claimed that he was a man of low words and did not dare to continue to pursue, so as not to involve more court officials. Lai Mingguo actually took the bait. He vowed that the Metropolitan Procuratorate would spare no effort to investigate all corrupt officials. Fan Xian was waiting for his words. Chen Pingping took out the lists of corrupt officials in various government agencies and asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to check them one by one.

Qin Ye asked the Inspection and Examination Institute to continue the investigation and evidence collection. Chen Pingping kept claiming that the Inspection and Inspection Institute did not have enough manpower, and that it was complicated and involved the prince. Chen Pingping simply handed over the roster to Qin Ye for investigation. Qin Ye made excuses to shirk the responsibility, and Chen Pingping reported the matter again. Handed to Lin Ruofu, Lin Ruofu flatly refused. Lai Mingcheng took the initiative to come to the list and saw that Li Chengze was among them. He ignored the dissuasion of his colleagues and insisted on a thorough investigation to find out the corrupt officials one by one and restore peace and prosperity to the Qing Dynasty. Several officials stood up to cheer Lai Mingcheng. Fan Xian applauded Lai Mingcheng and wanted to take back the "barking bark" given to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Emperor Qing announced in public that the Metropolitan Procuratorate would investigate one by one according to the roster.

After going to court, Fan Xian deliberately waited for Lin Ruofu outside the palace. Lin Ruofu saw that he wanted to use the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate Li Chengze. Fan Xian suspected that the officials who contributed to the trouble were arranged by Lin Ruofu, but Lin Ruofu denied it. Li Chengqian pretended to care about Li Chengze, but Li Chengze didn't appreciate it and sneered at him. Xin Qiwu secretly revealed something to Li Chengqian. Those officials who praised Lai Mingcheng were his subordinates. There were many officials under Li Chengqian's subordinates, and he couldn't recognize them all, but he He didn't know anything about what happened today, so he guessed that someone was taking advantage of his disciples.

Lin Ruofu urged Fan Xian to go see Lin Waner. Fan Xian was busy with work and had not taken time out since returning from Northern Qi. Lin Ruofu suspected that he and Haitang Duoduo had an affair. Fan Xian firmly refused to admit it and promised to go see Lin Waner tonight. Emperor Qing saw that Fan Xian was targeting Li Chengze, so he kept Fan Jian and Chen Pingping after he went to court, suspecting that Chen Pingping was supporting Fan Xian behind his back. Chen Pingping refused to admit it, and Fan Jian made a statement on the spot, even if Fan Xian had done something wrong that could not be undone. , he was willing to help Fan Xian clean up the mess. Emperor Qing was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Unexpectedly, the two of them defended Fan Xian so much and made it clear that he would not attack his own son Li Chengze.
