Chapter 1097 Wei Zhong's response
The officials present all showed shocked expressions when they heard Chen Bahuang saying that Fan Yan was dismissed from office.
Among them, Fan Yan's expression was the most shocking. He never expected that Chen Bahuang was so decisive. He wanted to dismiss himself for just such a small thing.
If someone else said this, it can still be regarded as a wind in his ears without taking it seriously.
But Chen Bahuang is different. Chen Bahuang, who has now become the pillar of China, wanted to dismiss him without any effort.
It is because of this that when he heard that Chen Bahuang was going to dismiss himself, Fan Yan couldn't help but look at Wei Zhong standing there with a begging look.
At this moment, Wei Zhong's expression also seemed very solemn, especially when he noticed that Fan Yan was throwing his begging eyes at him, he felt extremely entangled and struggling in his heart.
If he continues to protect Fan Yan at this time, then Chen Bahuang can say that he intentionally breaks the rules and presses him step by step, causing him to lose face again.
But if Wei Zhong had abandoned Fan Yan so decisively at this time, just to protect his face.
Then I'm afraid that the rest of Wei Zhong's followers will be disappointed after learning about the choice Wei Zhong made at this moment and his approach.
It is because of this that Wei Zhong has not spoken for a long time.
Chen Bahuang, who saw this scene, was still pressing forward and said step by step: "Why didn't the Prime Minister say anything? This person used to slander you for deliberately breaking the rules. I'm dismissing him now for the Prime Minister. Why do you seem to be happy at all?"
"Can this person really be your gang?"
Under Chen Bahuang's step-by-step pressing, all the civil and military officials who saw all this looked gloomy.
Although today is just the first meeting with Chen Bahuang, Lord Shangguozhu.
However, Chen Bahuang's speech, scheming and means in the struggle between wits and courage, and in the open and secret struggles were enough to make these officials who were immersed in the officialdom for decades or more than ten years admired.
From the beginning, Chen Bahuang came here with a special juncture, in order to put Wei Zhong in a dilemma.
The rules you set yourself and the rules you passed down.
Wei Zhong must choose between these two.
This is the first problem that Chen Bahuang raised to Wei Zhong.
However, just as Wei Zhong made a choice and planned to abide by the rules he set, Chen Bahuang suddenly appeared at this time and made a difficult move with this.
In other words, from the beginning to the present, everything was under the control of Chen Bahuang. It was because of this that Wei Zhong fell into this dilemma.
"It seems that the Prime Minister is going to fall apart again this time."
"Although this Lord Guozhu has just taken office, his scheming methods are even better than those old fried dough sticks. It seems that we must not underestimate this Lord Guozhu in the future."
"It seems that the weather is about to change in this court."
"It turns out that the situation where the Chief Supervisor's family is dominant will change."
"And this is the purpose of the Old Monarch appointing a Master Guozhu."
Because of the situation at this moment, the civil and military officials present started to whisper.
And everyone believed that Wei Zhong would definitely suffer a big loss today at Chen Bahuang.
However, at this moment, Wei Zhong's next actions exceeded everyone's expectations.
In just a few minutes just now, Wei Zhong, who was in a dilemma, had a way to resolve the problem raised by Chen Bahuang.
"Master Guozhu, can you listen to me?" Compared to his gloomy expression before, Wei Zhong's face looked much more serious at this time, and there was a vague expression of confidence in his heart.
Chen Bahuang noticed this and frowned slightly. Although he didn't know what Wei Zhong wanted to do, he knew that Wei Zhong must have found a way to resolve it.
"The Chief Aunt has something to say, who dares not listen?" Chen Bahuang's expression gradually became cold. He stared at Wei Zhong in front of him and said slowly, word by word.
"Just just now, Fan Yan has made a big mistake in ignoring the rules. It is reasonable to wrap up the adults and try to dismiss him from his post and investigate him." After hearing Chen Bahuang's reply, Wei Zhong smiled slightly, and a calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"So, the Prime Minister agrees to me to dismiss him from his post and investigate this practice?" Chen Bahuang's eyes flashed with brilliance.
With his understanding of Wei Zhong, the other party was definitely not so easy to surrender and put himself in a disadvantaged place.
In other words, when Wei Zhong was willing to say these words that seemed to follow Chen Bahuang's words, it means that Wei Zhong had already had a solution.
"Mr. Guozhu has clear rewards and punishments. You naturally agree with your approach..." Wei Zhong said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"What! What did I just heard?!"
"Does the Prime Minister really want to give up on Lord Fan for Gu Quan?"
"Among all the officials present, half of them were the lieutenant of the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister did this, wouldn't he be afraid that the rest of the people would be disappointed?"
"Or it is the capital who has his plan in his heart?"
Just because of Wei Zhong's words, the civil and military officials present whispered again, and everyone was shocked by Wei Zhong's actions.
These people can see the disadvantages, they don’t think Wei Zhong will not be able to see them.
But at this moment, Wei Zhong's approach really made them confused.
Of course, Chen Bahuang did not include these people, because Chen Bahuang's expression had undergone a subtle change at this moment.
He was able to predict what Wei Zhong did next, and he was unable to stop him.
Just when everyone was puzzled and Chen Bahuang's expression was a little solemn, Wei Zhong suddenly walked to Fan Yan, bowed his fists to Chen Bahuang, and bowed deeply.
"Fan Yan is indeed wrong first, so he should be punished severely!"
"But China has a great land and a vast territory and a wealth of resources. From ancient times to the present, it has a fine moral character called tolerance."
"What Lord Fan just did is indeed a shame to my reputation. But as a scholar, I am willing to forgive Lord Fan with the excellent qualities of being tolerant."
Having said that, Wei Zhong was still bent down and facing Chen Bahuang.
After seeing what Wei Zhong did in front of him, Chen Bahuang sneered and said, "Is this what I want to say for the adults in the future?"
After saying that, Chen Bahuang waved his hand and signaled Wei Zhong to continue speaking.
"Mr. Guozhu is indeed very clear-headed. You will be more prosperous in China!" Wei Zhong first said some polite words without being humble and arrogant, and then continued to say that the matter involved Fan Yan. "Just just now, Lord Guozhu said that he would dismiss Mr. Fan from his post and investigate. Whether it was to let me out of anger or to rectify the court's principles, it was reasonable."
"But now I have forgiven Lord Fan. As for Lord Fan, although he made a mistake, he is just a first-time crime and is an unintentional act. In addition, the Chinese temple has always advocated the word "tolerance", so I apologize to Lord Wei Zhong Guozhu, and I hope you can forgive Lord Fan."
Speaking of this, Wei Zhong bowed deeply.
Looking at what Wei Zhong did in front of him, Chen Bahuang showed a sneer on his face.
As the chief assistant, Wei Zhong did what he did just now, which Chen Bahuang did not expect.
Moreover, the trap originally set by Chen Bahuang not only did not make things difficult for Wei Zhong, but instead became his way to attract people's hearts.
