Chapter 430: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
The news of Marquis Wuqing's entry into the palace to face the saint soon spread throughout the city, and it quickly fermented among officials at all levels.
All of a sudden, public opinion in the capital was in an uproar. No one expected that such a thing would happen, and Marquis Wu Qing actually ran into the palace?
You must know that although there have been disturbances in the capital recently, everyone is talking about the house, but the people who are really involved are also concerned about the land inventory in the west of the city.
It's just that everyone didn't come up with any good solutions for a while, and what they did was breaking the law and discipline, which was very reasonable. If Your Majesty is not to blame or turns a blind eye, then everyone really doesn't care.
But now Your Majesty has to be serious and investigate carefully, then you can only be beaten and pleaded down. It has always been the case for the nobles and relatives, and everyone understands it in their hearts. Wait until the days are over and then think of other ways, anyway, at present, you can't let Your Majesty lose face, and you can't touch Your Majesty's mold.
In this regard, honorable and honorable relatives are not the same thing?
This time, everyone is also thinking of a way, but since the establishment of the General Staff Office, there is no one heart between Xungui and Xunqi.
Because many people with ideas have begun to work hard to gain power, it is not okay to eat and wait for death as before, everyone wants more. Even shrewd people have realized that the future will not be so easy to mix, if you don't take advantage of the advantage now to take some power, I'm afraid there will be no place to mix in the future.
Divisions naturally appeared, and this was evident in the current land inventory.
Some people were very supportive, and even heard that His Majesty was going to check the land, so they first checked their own house, and when they found out about the problem, they did not hide it or hide it, and directly found Shuntianfu and reported it.
Some people are depressed, that's called an uncomfortable, why should they hand over the good things of their own home?
For a while, the two sides were also arguing.
But no one expected that Wu Qinghou would actually do such a thing. This is not a good thing, and it does not show everyone a path, which is death.
You have made a mistake and done something wrong, is it not good to obediently confess your sins and be punished?
Now run in front of Your Majesty to play tricks, saying that you are exchanging your garden for the house of the imperial court, and what you say that you are loyal to the culture and education of the Ming Dynasty, you are fooling Your Majesty as a fool.
It's just that this thing didn't work out; If His Majesty had agreed at that time, wouldn't you have thought about how His Majesty would have retaliated against you after he learned the truth?
After the news spread, the entire capital instantly detonated public opinion.
The civil servants began to impeach the Marquis of Wu Qing, and these manuscripts were sent to the palace like snowflakes.
You must know that the civil officials are very supportive of the land inventory.
The construction of a new Confucian temple, the establishment of a new Yan Sheng Gong, the establishment of a new royal academy, and the construction of houses for everyone in the places they moved out were all good news for them, and the civil officials were very supportive of this policy in their hearts.
These days, there are many civil officials who have been thankful, and Zhu Youxiao's reputation has also improved a lot. Under such circumstances, Wu Qinghou actually wanted to do something, and he just used him as a target.
All of a sudden, Wu Qinghou could be said to be shouted and beaten by everyone, and his reputation instantly became stinky. Some people even exposed what Wu Qinghou and their family did back then, looking like they were looking for old accounts.
Li Wei, the Marquis of Wuqing, was born as a carpenter, their family had never seen the world at all, and their life was very poor, in order to survive, Li Wei sent his daughter to King Yu's mansion as a maid.
Because of the rumors that Emperor Jiajing and the two dragons did not meet, the prince's life was not easy. Don't say that you can marry a few more concubines, you don't have much to do. Emperor Jiajing was busy cultivating immortals, who had the heart to care about this? King Yu inadvertently saw Li Wei's daughter and thought that she looked good, so he was pampered. Li Wei's daughter had a good life and gave birth to a son, who was later Emperor Wanli.
Wuqinghou Li Wei's father is expensive with his daughter, and Wanli was young when he ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Li was in charge, so Wuqinghou was even more indispensable.
Empress Dowager Li was born in a small family, his father was a carpenter, and their family did a lot of things that the mainstream could not tolerate, and they did everything to get money. I used to be poor and scared, but now that I have a chance, why don't I get more? Li Wei has done too many things, and even Zhang Juzheng can't control it.
It's just that after so many years, everyone can't turn over old accounts. But this time, the Hou family of Wuqing took the initiative to jump out, and if this old account is not turned over, I am afraid that there will be no way to pass the test.
Ouchi of the Imperial Palace.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the question book in his hand, his face thoughtful.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiao had an idea in his heart.
He said: "Chen Hong, let the celebrant prepare a holy decree and pass it to Li Gao, Marquis of Wuqing. Tell him that the houses in Xincheng were built for officials, and even if some houses were to be sold, it was to raise money to build houses for officials. So the house in Xincheng really can't be exchanged for him. However, he had a hard time, and I couldn't bear it, so I took some things from the inner treasury and rewarded him, so that he could buy a house and land in the capital, and live a good life. ”
After saying this, Zhu Youxiao put down the brush in his hand, and an inexplicable expression appeared on his face.
After hearing this, Chen Hong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the slave and maid will do it." ”
After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao sneered.
That's not a good thing. The reward given by Zhu Youxiao was just to show the emperor's generosity and show the emperor's kindness.
After all, they are all a family, everyone is a relative, and as an emperor, he can't watch his relatives live a life, right?
Changing a house for you will break the rules of the court, and it is not something that an emperor should do, so it can't be changed for you.
But I can't see that you are in difficulty and have no food, so I will reward you with a little of the emperor's private money so that you can live a good life.
In this way, it takes into account both legal principles and human feelings, and it can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone. It looks like a good story, but it's not that simple behind it.
If someone impeached Li Gao, Marquis of Wuqing, saying how rich and rich their family was, then what was Li Gao, Marquis of Wuqing?
This is the crime of deceiving the king, you are deceiving the emperor, what do you want?
In Zhu Youxiao's view, it is not a problem for these civil officials in the Ming Dynasty to grasp this kind of loophole and handle, and the crime will definitely be bigger.
Whoever has a loud voice will have prestige, and this time he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity.
Just wait and see what they can do.
Sure enough, as Zhu Youxiao expected, Chen Hong went to read out the holy decree, and the holy decree was also sent to the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion.
All of a sudden, public opinion was in an uproar.
On the one hand, people are saying that the emperor has a benevolent heart and is a good emperor; On the other side, he scolded Wu Qinghou, how much land does your family have? How many deals do you have in your family? How much money do you have in your family? How dare you go to Your Majesty and cry poor?
If it's normal, it's just that, now at this time, go and cry poor, and let Your Majesty reward you?
That's all for us to build a house! You Wu Qinghou is simply too much, you must not let it go!
Your Majesty is so benevolent, you still deceive Your Majesty?!
As a result, the inscriptions on the impeachment of Marquis Wu Qing flew into the imperial court one after another. This time, public opinion was all tilted towards Zhu Youxiao, and it was aimed at the crime of Marquis Wuqing's deception of the monarch, and the crime was unforgivable.
Of course, after this charge was shouted, the impeached person didn't take it seriously. The reason is also very simple, usually everyone shouts this when they are impeached, and they shout more fiercely, and even so-and-so often says something like a bad heart. It's just that no one takes it seriously. This shouting is just an expression of loyalty.
But something happened that no one expected, and after the question book was sent to the palace, His Majesty was furious, and he was so angry that he couldn't do it all at once.
According to rumors, His Majesty lamented that his heart for so many years was paid by mistake after all.
All of a sudden, it pushed things to the forefront.
His Majesty was sick with anger, so he hid directly in the palace and didn't come out, and at the same time instructed the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Dali Temple to investigate the case together to see if Li Gao, Marquis of Wuqing, was bullying the king.
In fact, it was too cold, and Zhu Youxiao didn't want to get up early, so he just used this reason to hide in the harem and accompany Empress Zhang and her son every day.
Sometimes I get tired of the cry of the little doll, so I go to find Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian, the warm jade is in my arms, and I don't think about it.
The queen's white fat sons have already been born, and the stomachs of these two have not yet reacted, which is not good. Wait for Zhu Youxiaonu's efforts to make the two of them pregnant, no matter who it is, Mr. and his daughter will make a pair.
As for the noise outside, Zhu Youxiao was ready to let the bullets fly for a while, and then come forward to clean up the mess when things reached a certain level.
Anyway, this time you must not let go of Wu Qinghou easily, this is a very good chicken used to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys.
He sent it to the door, and it was just time to clean up. Anyway, compared to Xungui, Xunqi is much easier to knead. They didn't start by virtue of military merit, and they didn't have any connections in the capital, but because their daughter became the queen. After passing it down like this, I don't know if it's a few relatives from the other door.
Take the Li family as an example, they are the empresses of Emperor Longqing, followed by Wanli and Taichang, and it is the fourth generation to Zhu Youxiao, which is about to come out of the fifth suit.
The gentleman's ze, the fifth and beheaded. Although Daming doesn't respect this very much, it doesn't mean that Zhu Youxiao can't do this.
Zhu Youxiao didn't feel guilty, these relatives ate and drank all day long, without the slightest move to benefit the country and the people, and they didn't feel distressed when they cleaned up.
Under such circumstances, the Marquis of Wuqing Mansion is naturally about to rain and its reputation has plummeted.
The emperor did not trust, and the civil officials stomped on it.
Everyone knows that the Marquis of Wuqing's Mansion is finished this time, and he will shoot himself in the foot.
At the same time, there are also people who are worried, His Majesty's body is okay, right?
After all, it's still too young.
