Zhu Youzhen has only had worries recently, and there are few good ones, and when he saw Zhou Qingli say this, he hurriedly said: "What way?" ”

Zhou Qingli didn't pretend to think about it, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the first one, the stolen money copied from Wei Zhongxian's mansion is enough for one and a half million taels. Second, Wei Zhongxian's case involved many big businessmen, and the ministers have already verified as many as 40 families, and Wei Zhongxian is given more than 50,000 taels of silver every year, which can be taken out of them. Thirdly, the amount of silver owed to the imperial court by the provincial capitals, Caoyun, weaving, and salt classes is estimated to be more than three million taels, and if it can be recovered, it should also be able to be used as a salary for the Liaodong army......"

Zhu Youzhen finally showed a smile on his face and said, "Sure enough, Zhou Aiqing is the one who can share my worries." Well, then from Wei Zhongxian's stolen money, this matter still has to trouble Zhou Aiqing. ”

Zhou Qingli raised his hand and said, "It is the duty of a minister to share worries for His Majesty." It's just that these dirty silver must be charged into the treasury first according to the regulations, and the military salaries in Liaodong are also transferred by the Ministry of Households, and the ministers are holding the title of the right deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they have no right to intervene, and they have the right to do so many things, even if there is His Majesty's will, without the assistant of the Ministry of Households, it cannot be completed in a short time......"

The smile on Zhu Youzhen's face slowly disappeared again, and Zhou Qingli was right.

Now that the Manchu Dynasty has dismissed its civil and military officials, a Zhou Qingli can't do anything at all.

The officials are selfish and selfish, they have no heart for the country at all, the national politics are in chaos, the frontier is in crisis from time to time, and the whole Ming Dynasty is a big fight, and there is no good place.

Zhu Youzhen's shoulders were unconsciously a little higher, his eyes were blazing, he looked at Zhou Qingli, and said, "Zhou Aiqing, do you have any way to solve it?" ”

Zhou Qingli did not answer immediately this time, not because there were no countermeasures, but because she was thinking about the possible consequences after saying it.

Zhu Youzhen saw that there was no embarrassment on Zhou Qingli's face, his heart moved slightly, and said, "Zhou Aiqing, is there really a way?" ”

Zhou Qingli raised his hand to Zhu Youzhen and said, "The minister has a way, but the minister is worried that this will have an adverse impact on the emperor and the court situation. ”

Zhu Youzhen was still helpless in the face of the boycott of the hundred officials, where could he manage so much, and said directly: "You say." ”

Zhou Qingli pondered the wording and said: "Hundreds of officials boycott the dynasty, waste the national government, disloyal to Your Majesty, have a negative trust, and shame the people, so that they ignore the fire and water, and the crime is great at the top, the head of the hundred officials is Huang Liji, and the ministers invite the emperor to punish Huang Liji, with the heart of a hundred officials, to thank the people of the world." ”

Zhu Youzhen listened to Zhou Qingli's words, his expression was stunned, and he was speechless for a while.

Of course, he knew that this boycott of the hundred officials was caused by Huang Liji, and even he provoked it, but if Huang Liji was killed, what would happen to the court, not to mention that the eunuch party would make more trouble, just after Huang Liji, who would be the first assistant?

He, the emperor, has only been on the throne for a few months, and his eyes are black, so he can't just drag someone to be the first assistant, right? Can you afford to hold up the situation?

Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, thinking carefully about Zhou Qingli's words, because it was impossible for Zhou Qingli to say such a confused thing.

Soon, Zhu Youzhen realized something and said, "You mean, threatening Shoufu?" ”

Zhou Qingli raised his hand and said, "It's not a threat, Your Majesty should really ask the guilty, and give an explanation to the government and the opposition, and all the people in the world." ”

Zhu Youzhen understood, nodded slightly, there was a trace of calmness in his eyes, and at the same time, a touch of coldness flowed.

After a while, Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhou Qingli with a smile on his face and said, "Zhou Qing, you first do a good job of Wei Zhongxian's case, and then arrange a suitable position for you when I clean up the court situation." ”

Zhou Qingli said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers share the worries of His Majesty and seek affairs for the country, not for promotion. ”

Zhu Youzhen became more and more satisfied, looked at Zhou Qingli seriously for a while, and said: "If the courtiers have Zhou Qing's heart, how can I be so embarrassed." ”

"I don't dare." Zhou Qingli hurriedly raised her hand.

Zhu Youzhen smiled, feeling much more comfortable.

As soon as Zhou Qingli left, Zhu Youzhen's face was indifferent, he looked at Wang Chengen not far away, and said: "Order the cabinet to draft a decree, and the hundred officials will strike the court, and the crime will be punished by the first assistant." ”

"Yes." Wang Chengen responded, turned around and went out.

The cabinet has a system of edicts, a middle scholar, and the secretary of the office of the edict, edicts, edicts, books, treasures, jade, sermons, tablets, inscriptions, unveiling posts and other confidential documents, as well as the royal palace edict book and so on.

Wang Chengen personally went to the palace to explain to the Chinese scholar here, and ordered him to draw up a decree.

There is no quota for the middle scholars, also known as the cabinet secretaries.

As soon as Wang Chengen left, the news spread throughout the cabinet.

As a member of the Zhongshu Society, Zhou Zheng naturally heard it.

He sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, looked at the jade of the palaces in his hand, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that Dad has already seen Chongzhen, and I don't know what Huang Liji will do." ’

There were no secrets in the cabinet at all, and while Zhou was thinking about it, Wang Yongguang, the head of the household department, hurriedly came to Huang Liji's mansion.

Huang Liji was lying on the bed at this moment, with a trace of pale on his thin face, as if he was really sick.

Wang Yongguang didn't care if he was really sick or fake, and said anxiously: "My lord, don't lie down." The emperor was furious and said that the hundred officials had quit the court, and the sin was in the first assistant, and he was going to be punished. ”

Huang Liji sat up with difficulty with the help of his subordinates, looked at Wang Yongguang and said lightly: "It's okay, it's expected." ”

Huang Liji is very confident, because after Wei Zhongxian's death, Cui Chengxiu fell, and the court situation was in his hands, if he fell, the government would be abolished, and the new emperor would be inseparable from him! The disposition, that is, verbally, will not be long before he will come to him in person, persuade him with good words, and ask him to return to the court.

Wang Yongguang saw that Huang Liji was so calm, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, the emperor has asked the cabinet to draft a decree to execute you, so as to appease the hundred officials and the hearts of the people." ”

Huang Liji's thin face changed slightly, and he said, "What did you say?" Purpose? ”

Wang Yongguang said: "Yes." The cabinet is already drafting it, and it will be sent to the Qianqing Palace soon. ”

Huang Liji's calm expression turned solemn, his brows furrowed, and his eyes flashed with thought.

He didn't expect that the little emperor would come to such a hand.

This is to put him on the edge of a cliff, and to reduce the dilemma.

entered, can only go to the Qianqing Palace to ask for guilt, that means that the new emperor has a great victory, and the new emperor will have the final say in the future situation, and he and the courtiers will have no power to resist.

Retreat, then he is waiting to be executed. A stigma is over, recorded in history, and left a stench for 10,000 years!

As for stopping this holy decree, Huang Liji never thought that even if he couldn't pass through the imperial court, the emperor could send Jinyi Wei or Dongchang to get him.

Huang Liji's brows tightened more and more, and his thin face was embarrassed.

Wang Yongguang knew that Huang Liji's situation had become bad, so he directly persuaded: "My lord, you can't wait, if you don't think about it, the holy decree will be promulgated." At that time, even if the emperor didn't want to kill the adult, he had to kill him. ”

As soon as the holy decree comes out, in addition to executing or executing, the new emperor will not slap himself in the face at this time.
