Chapter 753: Resolved
Zhu Siming suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and immediately began to calculate:
"Fang Handong's matter, Weichen has been investigating it these days, and now he is quite eyebrow-raising, this time, Fang Handong has to spit out at least 200,000 taels of silver!"
Although he and Fang Handong have been colleagues for so many years, they have never been all the way.
Now that it has come to this point, the collapse of the Fang family is already an ironclad thing.
A person like Fang Handong is not worth his protection, not to mention, as long as the emperor can get money for the household, he will definitely roll up his arms and sleeves and follow the emperor!
"200,000 taels ......"
Xiao Shaotang repeated softly.
That's a lot of money.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, he understands this truth, but if someone wants to stir up chaos in this court, he must not tolerate it!
Xiao Shaotang nodded coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent:
"Since he dares to stretch out his hand, then let me spit it all out!"
This murderous aura makes people feel cold in the back.
Zhu Siming lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor again.
"Tomorrow morning, you will take the lead in impeachment. β
Xiao Shaotang made a conclusion on this matter.
"Weichen obeys!" Zhu Siming happily agreed.
Knocking down Fang Handong, he, the head of the household, is bound to charge into battle.
After finishing talking about Fang Handong, Xiao Shaotang began to talk about the Feng family again.
"Has Zhu Aiqing ever heard the wind in the capital today?"
immediately became the emperor's "Aiqing", and Zhu Siming was almost flattered.
He boldly looked up at the emperor, and hesitated a little:
"The emperor is saying that the queen wants to forgive the Feng family?"
"Exactly. What does Zhu Aiqing think?"
"The minister thinks that the Feng family is not upright, and they are used to bullying others, so they are not worthy of the queen's forgiveness!"
It's not that Zhu Siming wants to put on small shoes for the Feng family in front of the emperor, it's that the Feng family made too much trouble at the beginning, and now this abacus is too shrewd.
is an ordinary person, who is calculated like this, and he will never be able to swallow this breath, let alone the supreme emperor and queen in the world.
Zhu Siming felt that with the temper of the emperor and the empress, it would not be tolerated.
The Emperor smiled softly, with an incredibly soft voice in his voice:
"Then what if the Feng family is willing to give away all their family property and just seek reconciliation?"
How is that possible? Zhu Siming almost blurted out.
All the net worth is gone, even if he reconciles with the emperor, he will be embarrassed, what are you trying to do?
Fortunately, after many years in the court, the experience of playing in front of the monarch saved Zhu Siming.
It's just a moment, and his mind is clear-yes, the Feng family's move is too risky, in case it annoys the emperor, although the new emperor should not make a big move to kill when he ascends the throne, but if he really wants to find a way to destroy the family, it is also a matter of thought!
If the Feng family wants to save the lives of the whole clan, then it is worth offering all the family property, after all, compared to life, what is the silver?
Zhu Siming immediately replied:
"Since this is the case, then please ask the emperor to forgive them for the sake of the Feng family's sincerity!"
"What does Zhu Aiqing mean is that I want to be a magnanimous king?"
Zhu Siming immediately slapped a sycophant:
"The emperor was originally a magnanimous and generous monarch, why should he ask for it?"
Xiao Shaotang was very satisfied with Zhu Siming's upper path, and said with a smile:
"Well, just for Zhu Aiqing's words, I will forgive the Feng family on behalf of the queen! Speaking of which, the Feng family must remember Zhu Aiqing's kindness!"
Zhu Siming knew that the emperor was going to give him a favor.
Although the favor of the Feng family is dispensable to him, the emperor's kindness must be appreciated, and Zhu Siming still respectfully thanked him.
It wasn't until after Hai that Zhu Siming left the palace and returned home.
Mrs. Zhu hadn't stopped yet, and was waiting for him to come back restlessly.
Seeing that her husband came back safe and sound, she let go of her heart, and stepped forward to ask for warmth:
"It's such a cold day, and I still have to make this trip...... What does the emperor say?"
In view of the abolition emperor's violent temper of punishing the nine clans at every turn, Mrs. Zhu was very worried.
Zhu Siming sighed while taking the ginger tea handed over by his wife:
"The Fang family is like that, sooner or later it will be finished, that's it, it's just that this Feng family is really stupid!"
"Stupid?
Mrs. Zhu, as a qualified important minister's daughter, also heard about the Feng family:
"Didn't they all say that the queen mother wants to forgive the Feng family?"
"Forgiveness?" Zhu Siming smiled bitterly for the Feng family, "If the Feng family behaves and doesn't make a sound, the emperor is afraid that he won't be able to think of them." β
"Now these camps are drilled around, and they have only turned their family into a fat sheep to be slaughtered, so that people can't say it without a knife!"
"The emperor wants to use a knife...... After that, this ......"
Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but feel afraid, can she still have a peaceful birthday?
Zhu Siming hurriedly comforted her:
"It's okay, don't be afraid. The emperor is not such an unreasonable person, our family is not afraid, not afraid!"
Mrs. Zhu nodded again and again, but she couldn't help but think about whether she had done anything angry and resentful in her mind.
At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind in his heart that if there were unworthy descendants in the future, he would rather be killed than cause trouble to the family!
Early the next morning, without waiting to leave the palace, the Li family, who had just finished dressing up, heard about the good things done by the Feng family, and immediately became angry:
"Who gave me the post?!, I have to give birth to these things when I am not at home!"
Bai Chenghuan hurriedly ran over to comfort her, pressed Li Shi on the makeup stool, and inserted another emerald jade step on her head, before he hugged her and said with a smile:
"Mother, don't be angry, it's early in the morning, it's not good to move your liver! Look, mother, how beautiful you wear this step!"
These days, the depressed daughter had a smile on her face, and in an instant, she soothed Li's anger, and turned from anger to anger:
"I don't look at how old my mother is, and she just says these good things to coax me!"
"It's not coaxing, my mother is really good-looking. β
Bai Chenghuan looked like a well-behaved and clever daughter, lying on Li's shoulder:
"So don't be angry with such a good-looking mother, why be angry for those little people?"
"But their family was so calculating that you bullied you, and I, Li Xian'e, would never have reconciled with them even if I died! This Feng family is really damned! I want to go out of the palace and talk to them about the Feng family!"
Even though Li was a little angry, he was still indignant.
"Mother really doesn't have to be angry, let's just wait and see what happens in this matter. β
"How do you wait and see what happens?"
"Of course, it depends on what the emperor plans to do! I am his wife, and I am so calculated, he will always take this breath for me. β
Bai Chenghuan firmly felt that Xiao Shaotang must have known about this matter, otherwise the reconstituted dragon scale guard beside him would really be a decoration.
Speaking of the emperor, Li was a little ashamed:
"It's all to blame on my mother, I didn't control it strictly, so I caused you so much trouble! The emperor is afraid that he will also blame me. β
"He dare!" Bai Chenghuan was still smiling, "How can a son-in-law blame his mother-in-law in this world!"
Having said that, Li was uneasy in the end, endured the anger in his heart, and hurried out of the palace after having breakfast with his daughter.
Bai Chenghuan couldn't stop her, so he only deserved to admonish:
"Don't worry, don't do anything when you go back, don't say anything, and when the emperor makes a decision, I will order someone to send a letter to my mother. β
Li agreed, but he made up his mind in his heart, if he went back, he didn't say anything else, he had to make the person who took the post look good!
After sending off the Li family, Bai Chenghuan returned to Huaqing Palace.
Xiao Shaotang has not yet returned from the early dynasty, and Sixi is in the Huaqing Palace after waiting.
"The queen mother Jin An, the emperor said, so that you don't have to worry about everything, everything is his own. β
Bai Chenghuan nodded:
"Well, the palace naturally doesn't worry about these trivial matters, you still go and follow the emperor. β
Sixi responded, and explained a few words to Qiuyue and them before retiring.
Bai Chenghuan couldn't help but feel funny, Sixi had waited for Qiuyue for so long, and deliberately wanted to behave in front of her, so that she could take the initiative to make a sound to fulfill them?
So he deliberately said to Qiu Yue:
"In the past, I looked at Sixi and a good man with a cool personality, but now why do you look at some mothers-in-law and mothers?"
"Slave maid, slave maid where does she know!"
Qiu Yue's face turned red all of a sudden, Shao Hui and Qiu Yu both covered their mouths and secretly looked at Qiu Yue and smiled, even Mama Zhou, who was newly transferred to Bai Chenghuan's side, couldn't help but laugh twice.
Only Ah Hua, who was still naΓ―ve and ignorant of the world, hurriedly asked for credit in front of Bai Chenghuan:
"That's because the Sixi guards like Sister Qiuyue, so they are extra nagging!"
"You talk a lot!"
Qiu Yue hurriedly went to stop Ah Hua from talking any more.
But Ah Hua just wants to say:
"I'm not lying, it's not something unsightly, what can't you say?"
The two suddenly made a mess, and there was a rare burst of laughter in the Huaqing Palace.
The Huaqing Palace was lively, and the atmosphere in the Taiji Hall was dominated by black clouds.
Early in the morning, Zhu Siming, the secretary of the household department, took the lead in coming out and impeached the prime minister and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Fang Handong, pretending to be a public account, filling his own pockets, and embezzling more than 200,000 taels of sacrifices over the years, asking the emperor to punish him severely!
The emperor took Zhu Siming's recital, and after a few glances, his face became more and more ugly.
In the end, he directly smashed the song from the high Dan steps, and smashed it on Fang Handong's face:
"There is actually a person like you in the Great Qi Dynasty! I dare to be greedy for the money of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, even if I can tolerate you, heaven and earth will not allow you!"
From the moment the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, Fang Handong was panicked day and night, as if he was hanging a sharp sword over his head, and at this time, this fold fell down, like a sharp sword falling down his head, and his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground.
However, although he was paralyzed on the ground and could no longer get up, he did not forget to cry out for himself:
Even if Weichen has 10,000 guts, he doesn't dare to disrespect the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods!"
"Don't you dare?"
Under the emperor's rage, Huo Ran stood up, pointed at Fang Handong and reprimanded:
"Then tell me, where did your three thousand acres of fertile land come from? Where did you come from? Where did you come from? I never knew that my Daqi officials had such a rich income!"
"The emperor Mingjian! these are all of them, they are all the ...... of the ancestors of the micro-ministers."
Fang Handong still wanted to defend himself, but Xiao Shaotang interrupted him unceremoniously:
"Your Fang family's ancestors were born as tenants for three generations, and they have never entered the merchant, how can they have placed this family business for you?!"
After speaking, he was impatient to entangle with him again, and directly ordered:
"Come on, take Fang Handong down and hand it over to Dali Temple for strict investigation!"
As soon as the emperor's words fell, the Imperial Forest Army waiting outside the hall broke in like a wolf and a tiger, picked up Fang Handong and left, and Fang Handong's shouting of grievances quickly disappeared outside the Taiji Palace.
The emperor was so resolute and resolute that he solved an important minister who had stood in the court for more than ten years, and he didn't even give anyone room to beak -
Although he knew in his heart that Fang Handong also deserved it, he was all trembling, and he didn't dare to speak, and it became more and more awe-inspiring and mighty to see the thunderous and angry emperor Long Wei on the Dan Steps.
Once, they all thought that the emperor was still young, and it was only King Qin who could be the emperor, and he just caught up with the mediocrity of the abolished emperor and the chaos in the world.
In other words, it's just luck.
But now, this emperor, who is not taken seriously by them, gradually begins to show his young and sharp edge.
Until today, this edge has finally been completely unsheathed, and it will cut off all the gloom and darkness of the past!
Speaking of which, the so-called stability and comfort are just the emperor letting them have a good year.
From now on, you have to tighten your skin and do things for officials!
After dealing with Fang Handong, Xiao Shaotang took Fang Handong as an example and admonished the ministers before turning around and sitting on the dragon seat again and talking about another thing.
"The Feng family in the capital once offended the queen and me, although I and the queen have no guilt, but the Feng family is now awake, changing their minds, and is willing to fill the treasury with all their family property to ask me and the queen for guilt. β
"Although I have the heart to forgive the Feng family, I also heard that when the Feng family children were in office, they were domineering and extravagant, and they all had deficits in their previous appointments.
The emperor asked them what to do?
The frightened ministers lowered their heads.
According to Fang Handong's fate, probably, a thorough investigation and punishment are the most satisfactory answers for the emperor, right?
Just didn't wait for the ministers to react and speak, Zhu Siming came out again:
"The minister thinks that no matter what the children of the Feng family did in the past, now they are sincerely repentant, and they are willing to donate silver to the treasury to benefit the people of Li, which is very rare, and the emperor should be regarded as complete!"
After Zhu Siming finished speaking, more than half of the courtiers looked at him, but there were still a small half of the courtiers, who didn't need to look at him at all, and their hearts were already like a mirror-
It seems that the emperor summoned Zhu Siming into the palace last night, and he really didn't let Zhu Siming run this trip in vain!
Sure enough, I only listened to the emperor's words:
"What Zhu Aiqing said is very true, life is in the world, if you know your mistakes, you can change them, and if you are good, since the Feng family has the intention of repenting, and Aiqing intercedes for it, I will fulfill them!"
The ministers finally knew it in their hearts, well, as soon as the emperor Chrysostom opened, the Feng family's property could not be saved.
But the Feng family still has to be grateful to Dade, this is really a good plan! I just don't know if the Feng family will regret it?
After getting off the morning court and stepping into the door of Huaqing Palace, Xiao Shaotang saw Bai Cheng welcome out, and looked at him with a smile:
"Your Majesty, in the name of concubines, it feels good to get money for the treasury?"
