Joy of Life: Season 2 庆余年第二季 Episode 9

Li Chengze and Xie Bian left the Vegetable Picking Department and walked back to the palace. In order to ensure Li Chengze's safety, they had to clean the streets wherever they went. The streets were suddenly deserted. People and vendors along the street were walking in a hurry, and fruit and vegetable products were scattered all over the place. , Li Chengze casually picked up a bunch of accessories hanging on the roadside stalls. He liked them very much, and he didn't forget to put down some money before leaving.

Li Chengze was puzzled. He didn't understand why Fan Xian called him to the vegetable picking department and deliberately and openly accepted bribes from Eunuch Dai in front of him. Xie Bi'an couldn't guess Fan Xian's intentions. It was inconvenient for Li Chengze to step in to impeach Fan. However, he was unwilling to miss this good opportunity to suppress Fan Xian. Their conversation was heard more and more clearly by Deng Zi who was hiding aside.

Early the next morning, Emperor Qing received a memorial jointly signed by the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to impeach Fan Xian for engaging in corruption and accepting bribes. Emperor Qing asked Eunuch Hou to hand the memorial directly to Fan Xian. Eunuch Hou reminded Fan Xian to explain the matter to Shu. Fan Xian didn't take it seriously. He didn't react for a long time, and the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate started talking about it. Fan Xian had no choice but to send Wang Qinian to deliver a painting to the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, with the four characters "狋狋Barking" written on it, calling the censors barking dogs. They were so angry that they collectively impeached Fan Xian and Regarding Eunuch Dai, there are even ridiculous rumors circulating among the people that Fan Xian is Eunuch Dai's godfather.

When Eunuch Dai heard about this, he was so angry that he almost fainted. He secretly cursed Fan Xian for pushing him to a point of no return. He couldn't help but vomit his bitterness in front of Hong Zhu, who gave him kind words and advice. Fan Xian deliberately made a big deal out of it, hoping to turn the officialdom of Kyoto upside down. Fan Xian asked Yan Bingyun to use his influence to investigate officials outside Beijing. Yan Bingyun didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he couldn't stand it. Wang Qinian and Gao Gao had a rough and tumble battle. When Liu Ruyu heard that Fan Xian was impeached by the censors, she couldn't help but sweat for him. She wanted to go to the palace to talk to her sister Yigui, but Fan Xian had already made careful arrangements and advised Liu Ruyu not to take this trip. water.

Fan Sizhe went all the way north to Northern Qi, and Li Chengze sent people to follow him closely. They looked for opportunities to capture Fan Sizhe alive. Fan Xian came to inspect a place and saw his colleagues eating meat. Deng Ziyue was eating dry food alone in the warehouse. Fan Xian learned that the money for buying meat was the fifty taels of silver given to Deng Ziyue by Wang Qinian as hush money. Deng Ziyue accidentally saw Eunuch Dai using his money. To bribe Wang Qinian, Wang Qinian gave him fifty taels of silver. Fan Xian also learned that Deng Ziyue fulfilled his duties, did not engage in corruption, bribery, or false accounting, and was kowtowing to his colleagues, thus gaining a good reputation. In fact, Deng Ziyue was also an upright person back then, but he did not expect that he would become so submissive after a few years in office.

Deng Ziyue was born in a poor family in Dingzhou, and he had great ambitions when he was young. At that time, a captain in the border army forged account books and defrauded the official money by buying horse feed. Deng Ziyue fought his way through the siege and sent the evidence to the forensic investigation institute. , Chen Pingping thought of his bravery and uprightness, and specially approved him to enter the inspection institute. Over the years, Deng Zi has become more and more aware of the darkness and injustice in the officialdom, but others have spoken softly, so he can only temporarily put aside his talents and become a good man.

Fan Xian offered to be Deng Ziyue's backer and encouraged him to stand up and be his original self. The sooner Deng Ziyue was wiped out, he had no fighting spirit and just wanted to be alone. Fan Xian scolded him, and used provocation to regain Deng Ziyue's confidence. He vowed to help Fan Xian change the corrupt officialdom. Fan Xian asked him to ghostwrite a self-defense letter, which only said "treacherous ministers are in power. "What crime is there?" eight characters. There were more and more memorials to impeach Fan Xian, and Emperor Qing couldn't stand it, so he decided to let Fan Xian and the censors confront each other in court. Yan Bingyun received evidence of the crimes of officials from outside Beijing collected by his colleagues and handed it over to Chen Pingping as soon as possible. Chen Pingping sent a personal bodyguard shadow to send a message to Fan Xian overnight, so that Fan Xian could go to the palace to defend himself tomorrow.

Li Chengqian was worried that Fan Xian would not be able to compete with those eloquent censors, so he came early to wait for Fan Xian outside the main hall and gave him numerous instructions. Fan Xian already had a plan in mind, and Li Chengqian felt a little relieved. Fan Xian found out that Xin Qiwu was deliberately avoiding him, so he shouted to stop him. Xin Qiwu had to greet Fan Xian with a smile. All the censors mobilized to confront Fan Xian in the court. Unexpectedly, the Privy Council was sending Qin Ye also arrived early.
