Chapter 40: Chaos 3
You have to hit the face at a level, don't you?
The emperor's words were by no means tactful, listening to Li Ziqin's ears, it was like being slapped by the emperor on the old face, the force was not large, but it shook Li Ziqin's head with a roar.
Li Ziqin knows that now is not a matter of inaction, this is the emperor using this as a threat to make him an enemy of the adults! Saying in the hall which ministers conspired with Zhou Tao last night, with the current official network, it is undoubtedly to offend a large number of people. If you don't follow the emperor's intentions, you will definitely provoke the emperor's anger, Zhou Tao was taken off the top and wore a flower feather in the court, and he Li Ziqin will never be able to please him.
The inaction of a criminal department yamen is enough!
"Old... The sinners enlightened the saints, there are the servants of the Ministry of Rites and Langzhong, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Household Department of Langzhong...... A total of twelve. ”
This old bastard! Although they didn't mention their names, everyone still couldn't help but scold in their hearts, and when they came out of the ranks, they were confident to call themselves old ministers, and when they spit out the word "old" heavily, they still had expectations for Li Ziqin to reverse the dilemma, but they didn't expect it to be a paper tiger, and the emperor didn't say what he would do, but vaguely pointed out that Li Ziqin had been an official for many years and had done nothing, so he was scared.
This belongs to standing and talking without back pain! Naturally, the twelve people who knelt down in the court by name were even greeted by Li Ziqin's eight ancestors one by one in their hearts.
"There are so many people! I really didn't expect that. ”
What the? The emperor means not knowing? Everyone was completely dumbfounded, and they couldn't figure out the emperor's path, and they were secretly happy in their hearts. Obviously, the emperor didn't want everyone in the court to have fifty boards, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was even more annoyed with Li Ziqin.
"Wait, you have something to say!" Suddenly, the emperor raised his voice again, and everyone was startled, this surprise is really not a taste, and after a few more moments, my heart really doesn't know if I can stand it.
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites is the person with the highest rank among the people who knelt on the ground, and he is the deputy of Shangshu Zhou Tao in the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and he raised his head slightly and glanced at the emperor, how could he be restrained?
"The sinner pleads with the Holy Lord, and allows the sinner to make meritorious service to the sin."
"Oh?" The emperor didn't laugh angrily, "Hahaha...... for me, let's hear it." ”
The emperor laughed, but the ministers couldn't. Which one can't be heard? Isn't it to make meritorious contributions to the public what you know? Dog bites dog hair, this etiquette waiter Xu Zaibo, although he and Li Ziqin are opposites at this time, they don't care about life and death. It stands to reason that the emperor may be exempted from death, even if he is in prison, he will have to pull a few cushions.
People's hearts are so vulnerable, and in the face of major interests, no one can take care of anyone!
Xu Zaibo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who cheered up, said loudly: "The criminal knows that the silver taels that the Criminal Department declares and approves every year to repair the yamen of the Criminal Department, and half of the copper is not used in practice. ”
was turned against him, and Li Ziqin had already expected it. But seeing that the emperor acquiesced to Xu Zaibo's revelations one by one, there was nothing he could do.
"The Ministry of Industry, the construction of the Ministry of Rites, there are also misemployed workers, embezzling the imperial court's silver."
"The officials of the Ministry of Merit Examination, accepting bribes from lower-level officials, and appointing those who have no merit to be promoted."
……
In one breath, Xu Zaibo told the filthy behavior of more than a dozen court officials, which was jaw-dropping, and everyone already held a grudge against him. Li Ziqin is not pursuing the past, you Xu Zaibo is good, the bamboo tube is like pouring beans, and more officials will be said in an instant, you don't want to live, and you have to involve so many people in prison.
"Good! Good! Good! Good! "This is today's court above, the emperor once again applauded. The official who was so frightened that Xu Zaibo pointed out his name fell to the ground in a panic, and he was already a master of the six gods.
In such a situation, I don't know if the emperor imagined it, looking at a group of officials kneeling on the court, there was another round of silence, as if it was already very late at night, but everyone could finally feel the warmth and light coming from the south gate. This contrast is very wonderful, as if in a dream, the heart is tightly clenched, and the screaming is so hard that it can't make a sound.
In fact, no one dares to speak out in reality.
"Who else?" Suddenly, it was Prince Qing again.
Everyone is puzzled, the emperor has never spoken, why is Prince Qing still persevering?
Xu Zaibo was even more at a loss for a while, looked at Prince Qing's face in a panic, and then looked at the emperor who was high above, but he didn't know whether to talk about it or not.
"Holy Lord, such black sheep alarmists, presumably in order to escape responsibility, spared no effort to slander others, presumably it is also an exaggeration." The unexpected Pan Xiangye did not follow the emperor's wishes to rectify the dynasty, but also helped the ministers cover it up, and everyone was grateful, and they all took off their admiration for it.
"Oh? How can Pan Xiangye see it? Explain it to me. ”
"Shengshang, Da Antai since the Shengshang came to power, the wind and rain are smooth, and the country and the people are safe, although there are cholera in the evening, and finally some clowns who jump off the beam are not to worry. But this Xu Zaibo is a member of the imperial court, and it is unforgivable to slander the imperial court officials, not to mention the large number of people involved. Treating hundreds of officials as a thorn in the flesh in the eye like this, isn't it harboring evil intentions!? Disrupting the heart of the dynasty can be seen by the sun and the moon! ”
Pan Xiangye's words were filled with righteous indignation and generosity, at least the officials who were still standing in the court thought so. It was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and everyone's hearts rippled, and in a blink of an eye, a monstrous wave was set off.
"My Emperor Shengming, my Emperor thinks twice!"
The voice of crying and complaining, as soon as Pan Xiangye's voice fell, the high tide was louder than when he shouted long live the emperor, and some people must believe that it is related to the life of the family, honor and wealth, and the officials really showed the strength to eat.
Relieved, several people kneeling under His Royal Highness Jin Luan, including Li Ziqin, also shouted hoarsely. Joke! Who doesn't value their lives as valuable, and who is willing to climb to the top of the court with great difficulty!?
A few words from Pan Xiangye caused such a big momentum among the Manchu officials, and the emperor must have been unexpected, his brows twisted into a pimple, and he looked at Pan Xiangye with hatred, how could the old guy hang his head down, and he didn't raise his head in a daze, and he let the emperor play a bachelor!
You old thing is singing against me! Good! I want to see if it's the strength in your arms, or the strength in your thighs! The emperor, who was thinking like this, shouted violently: "Xu Zaibo listens to the seal!" , Xu Zaibo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was awarded the first level and promoted to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he will be in office on the same day! The rest of the people were all taken to the prison of the Criminal Department, and once the crimes were verified, they would be beheaded! ”
