The home of Choi Cheng-so.

As a rising star of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, everyone thinks that Cui Chengxiu is a rising star in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he will even be able to sit in the position of the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Cui Chengxiu also thinks so, he feels that he will have a better tomorrow, and he will successfully win the position of the left governor of the Inspectorate and become a new member of the imperial court.

At that time, he can seek to be released, and he will be able to achieve the position of governor without accident; Even if you don't release it, it's no problem to mix a six-part book.

Thinking of these, Cui Chengxiu's heart can't be beautiful.

Two side dishes, a pot of soju, this is Cui Chengxiu's celebration in the evening.

"Master, Duke Wei has sent someone over." The old servant came to Cui Chengxiu and said respectfully.

"Duke Wei sent someone?" After hearing this, Cui Chengxiu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's so late, there should be something." Bring people to the study. ”

"Yes, sir." The old servant agreed, turned around and went to pick him up.

It didn't take long for a little white-faced father-in-law to walk in from outside.

After he saw Cui Chengxiu, he bowed down and said, "I've seen Master Cui." ”

"My father-in-law is polite." Cui Chengxiu hurriedly said, and stretched out his hand to make a posture of false support.

After the little father-in-law stood up, Cui Chengxiu continued: "The little father-in-law came over today, but what did Duke Wei command?" ”

"Back to Lord Cui's words, it is indeed my godfather who has something to explain." The little father-in-law said: "Godfather said, you can take out the things you prepared and take your people to participate in the performance." If you can get things done this time, you'll be able to go one step further. The left governor of the Imperial Procuratorate, Yu Shi Zhu Tongmeng, pretended to be stupid, His Majesty was already dissatisfied with him, and now it was time for you to take the throne, so you must seize the opportunity. ”

"Please go back and take me back to thank Duke Wei, and at the same time, please ask my little father-in-law to go back to Duke Wei, just say that I will do things well and beautifully, and I will definitely not disappoint Duke Wei."

"Don't worry, Master Cui, I will definitely bring your words." The little father-in-law said with a smile.

"In this way, there will be Gonggong Lao." Cui Chengxiu also said with a smile, and at the same time reached out and took a gold bar from the side and stuffed it directly into the little father-in-law's hand and said, "A little heart, it can be regarded as a thank you father-in-law." “

The little father-in-law was not polite, reached out and put the gold bar into his sleeve, and said, "If Master Cui has nothing else to do, then our family will leave." ”

"I'll send my father-in-law." Cui Chengxiu made a gesture of please, smiled and took a few steps forward.

The little father-in-law was also interested, and knew that he couldn't let Cui Chengxiu really send him out, so he said: "It's been sent so far, Master Cui, please stay, let's go." ”

Cui Chengxiu watched her little father-in-law leave, the excited look in her eyes couldn't be hidden anymore, and it was finally time to be useful!

Turning around and returning to the house, Cui Chengxiu stretched out his hand to greet the old servant and said directly: "Sharpen the ink for me, I will copy the inscription book I wrote before." ”

In fact, Cui Chengxiu had already prepared the question book, but he had never had a chance to hand it over.

Now that the opportunity has finally come, the question book can be handed over, Cui Chengxiu naturally will not hand over the old question book before, but copy it again, it looks like it was newly written.

Everything must be done with care, and there must be no mistakes.

Early the next morning, this question book was sent to the cabinet, and then it came to Zhu Youxiao's hand with a few turns.

At the same time, the news that Cui Chengxiu handed over the question book also spread.

After all, this kind of thing is like a galley through a colander wall, and nothing can stop it.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the question book in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile to Wei Zhongxian, who was standing not far away: "This Cui Chengxiu is not bad, he can be regarded as a talent." ”

In this question, Cui Chengxiu obviously put a lot of effort into it. This impeached the nobles and relatives of the dynasty.

Among them, the focus is on the impeachment of the Marquis of Xining, or the impeachment of the Marquis of Xining, and the rhetoric is also very harsh. It is not enough to say that these people have received the favor of the country in their lives, do not think of repaying it, and wantonly squander the merits of their ancestors. However, oppressing the good, encroaching on land, opening casinos, and green houses to make a lot of money really damaged the reputation of the imperial court.

Cui Chengxiu petitioned the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court could severely punish the lawless nobles and relatives. And this severe punishment must start with Xining Hou.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this recital.

I have to say that this Cui Chengxiu really knows how to choose people.

First of all, the title of Marquis of Xining is not low, and the Marquis is second only to the Duke. Secondly, this Marquis of Xining has been a stable and stable noble for so many years, although the family is still prosperous, but he has no strength in the army, and he is not considered to have any strength.

Even if the title of Marquis of Xining is really abolished, it is not a big deal. Moved a marquis, which can be used as a deterrent. If there is any accident that needs to let him go, it is better to advance and retreat.

It can be said that Cui Chengxiu chose this person with heart.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong beside him and said: "The advice given by the cabinet is to investigate in detail, let Dali Temple and the Criminal Department also send people, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei will also follow, and they will all go and have a look." ”

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao handed the question book to Chen Hong and said, "Let the celebrant approve the red and send it to the cabinet." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, and left with the question book in both hands.

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing not far away, sighed in his heart, this Xining Marquis must not be scared to death? Dali Temple's Criminal Department Metropolitan Procuratorate is also counted, and now even Jinyiwei and Dongchang have to go, I have to say that this posture alone can scare people to death.

However, Wei Zhongxian also knew that the emperor did not do this for the Marquis of Xining at all.

To put it bluntly, the emperor is killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, Xining Hou is the chicken, and the other nobles and relatives are the monkeys, in order to pay the Zhuangtian tax.

Now that there is a commotion outside, it is impossible for Wei Zhongxian to know if he wants to.

Yesterday, the British Duke entered the palace and asked for the Zhuang Tian tax, and it is said that the emperor did not agree, so he quarreled with the British Prince.

The specific content of the quarrel has also been circulated: the British public feels that His Majesty is betraying the courtiers, and His Majesty feels that the rules of the ancestors cannot be changed, and they cannot compete with the people for profit.

Wei Zhongxian knew this matter very clearly, and originally thought that it would not be over, but he didn't expect that there would be a change now.

He thought it was a little strange before, but now it's not strange. As long as today's news spreads, I'm afraid many people's hearts will panic.

The truth is just as Wei Zhongxian thought, after the news got out, everyone was really panicked. The reason is also very simple, people like Xininghou are going to be cleaned up, what about those who are not as good as Xininghou?

Even some guys with a higher status than Xining Hou have no bottom in their hearts.

The more important thing is not the honorable side, but those honorable relatives. Compared with the nobles, they have no bottom in their hearts, and the reason is very simple, they are not people who have received the grace of the country.

If Xungui is cleaned up, there may be people who ask for a favor, after all, their ancestors have also made meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and they have also contributed to the Ming Dynasty, and there are still Danshu iron scrolls in the family.

You must know that there is also a hierarchy of such a thing, which is a rule set since the time of Emperor Taizu, and the meritorious hero is given an iron coupon and a fourth-class title.

Zuo Taizu set the world, and said that the founding of the country and the auxiliary movement were sincere. From Chengzu to the army, it is said that it is difficult to push sincerity from Tianjing. Yu said that Fengtian Yiyun pushed sincerity, and said Fengtian Yiwei pushed sincerity. The military minister said that the military minister of Xuanli was a military minister, and the civil minister said that he was a civil minister.

Most of those nobles are the first two. As for the Xun Qi, when your family was there, their status naturally did not matter, such as the Zhang family of the Hongzhi Emperor and Empress, how arrogant and domineering the Zhang family was when they were in power, and there was no one in the scenery for a while. But what about then?

Emperor Zhengde had no heirs, and after Emperor Jiajing succeeded to the throne, the Zhang family was almost wiped out, and they were almost dead.

Now that the emperor wants to rectify the person, who will he take to open the knife?

Those nobles are not easy to move, and the relatives are not easy to move?

How can these people not panic? So they began to dig doors and thieves to find a way, and countless people flocked to the British mansion; At the same time, some people began to show their loyalty.

The Mansion of the British Princess.

Zhang Weixian was chatting with his son.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhang Weixian said with a smile: "See? This is the handwriting of His Majesty today, and this time it is all honest. ”

"Father, are you saying that what Cui Chengxiu did was instructed by His Majesty?" Zhang Zhiji asked with some confusion.

"Instructions?" Zhang Weixian sneered, and said with mockery in his tone: "Who doesn't know who that Cui Chengxiu is, that is Wei Zhongxian's dog." Anyway, he is also a civil official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he has no backbone at all. He put on this inscription, it must have been from Wei Zhongxian's instructions. ”

"As for why Wei Zhongxian did this, isn't it simple? It's just for the sake of Gu Pet, Your Majesty! Besides, to achieve Wei Zhongxian's level, do you still need Your Majesty's instructions? Your Majesty doesn't have to say anything, they will get things done. Otherwise, why do you think those eunuchs can be so favored? It's because they can do things and can do things. Forget it, let's not talk about them, this time I'm afraid they will have to go further. ”

"Can the cabinet watch?" Zhang Zhiji said with some hesitation.

"Do you really think those old fellows in the cabinet are fuel-efficient lamps? Just watch, this matter is not over, Wei Zhongxian wants to make a profit from this, but there is no chance. The civilian side will definitely act soon, but it has nothing to do with us. ”

Zhang Zhiji nodded and said, "The people from the Xining Hou Mansion just handed over the post, saying that they wanted to see you. Do you see it or don't you see it? ”

"Running to see me at this time, he's crazy, right?" Zhang Weixian said angrily: "These people know all day long to make money and play with women, and they have broken their heads. What are you doing when you come to see me at this time? ”

"You tell him to go and kneel at the gate of the West Garden. Idiot stuff! ”

When Zhang Zhiji heard his father's words, he hurriedly said, "The child will go now." ”

After saying this, he turned around and walked outside, his steps very eager, and his speed was very fast.
