Chapter 267: Suspicion (Part 2)
Hu Qingzheng was very embarrassed, Zhou Zheng's relationship with him was not a heart-to-heart, at least he was also the owner of the money, he did something before he came, but he couldn't reverse it, so he had to come to Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng remembered that Li Guopu had come to him before, and he couldn't help but sneer on his face.
Before this eunuch party fell, Li Guopu was in a hurry to attack him.
It's too ugly to eat!
Hu Qingzheng glanced outside, moved his buttocks, leaned closer to Zhou Zheng, stretched his head, and said in a low voice: "Salt merchant." ”
Zhou Zheng's expression changed slightly, his eyes were full of anger, and he said, "The salt merchant colluded with the people behind you?" ”
Hu Qingzheng sat back, his fat face wrinkled, and said: "Don't use the word collusion, it's all Jiangzuo people, it's not normal to have a meal and drink......"
Zhou Zheng had a cold face, not only for Li Guopu and others, but also for the group of salt merchants.
This group of salt merchants is really pervasive, and before the eunuchs have fallen, they have colluded with Li Guopu and others.
Zhou Zheng sneered on his face, and even sneered in his heart.
Since you seek death, I will fulfill you!
Zhou Zheng's face instantly smiled like a spring breeze, and said, "It's okay, it's not so easy to exile me to Yunnan." Remember what I told you before? Stay away from them, the sky will thunder, and it will easily affect you. ”
Hu Qingzheng is now Shaocheng of Taifu Temple, and one step further is Shaoqing, and Zhengqing of Lijiu Temple is two steps away, and it may not be possible to enter the six halls in the future.
His small eyes blinked, and he looked at Zhou Zheng without speaking.
Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly and said, "I'll give you a pass, come here to read more books if you have nothing to do." ”
Hu Qingzheng felt sorry for Zhou Zheng, so he came to report the news, and when he saw that he was not flustered, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, then I'll go back." ”
Zhou Zheng didn't say much, and watched him leave.
"The ghosts and spirits have jumped out......" Zhou Zheng muttered to himself.
It's just that they don't know that Wei Zhongxian's death is just the beginning!
Three days later, the Qianqing Palace.
There were two people standing in front of Zhu Youzhen, one was the first assistant Huang Liji, and the other was the cabinet minister Li Guopu.
Zhu Youzhen looked at the pile of notebooks on the desk, his face was expressionless, and the anger on his face couldn't help it.
These are the scripts of impeachment and exposing Wei Zhongxian's crimes, and the things in these scripts are far beyond what he knows and what he can imagine!
ignored the ancestral law of the Ming Dynasty in the palace, wantonly interfered in politics, and did not take the patriarchal law of the Zhu family in his eyes at all; Outside, the '9,900-year-old ancestral hall' is all over the Ming Dynasty, and other corruption, framing courtiers, killing dissidents, cultivating private individuals, wantonly knighting the Wei family, secretly hiding show girls in the palace, and even openly appearing in the court 'Jiuxiwen' and so on, innumerable!
Wei Zhongxian: What are you going to do!
Just let him kill himself, it's too cheap for him!
Zhu Youzhen can't wait to pull Wei Zhongxian back and punish him with death!
Huang Liji and Li Guopu looked at Zhu Youzhen's expression, glanced at each other, and were both vigilant and did not speak first.
The mind of this new emperor is unpredictable.
"Wei Zhongxian is dead, what do you think?" Zhu Youzhen suppressed his anger and looked at the two of them and asked.
Huang Liji's thin face had no expression, raised his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian has done many evil things, and he should investigate it carefully." ”
This sentence is tantamount to nonsense.
Zhu Youzhen took a deep look at him and turned to Li Guopu.
Li Guopu looked at Zhu Youzhen's indifferent eyes, his heart suddenly burst, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple be mobilized to conduct a detailed investigation into Wei Zhongxian's matter, and arrest and imprison the guilty to show the prestige of heaven." ”
Zhu Youzhen was a little satisfied, and turned to Huang Liji again, saying; "Shoufu, I ordered you to thoroughly investigate Wei Zhongxian's case, and you are not allowed to let any of them go, understand?"
Huang Liji's expression moved slightly, and he said: "Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian is widely implicated, and the minister suggests punishing the big with a small one, and slowly trying to figure it out." ”
Zhu Youzhen couldn't hide the anger on his face anymore, and said in a deep voice: "What I said is that one is not allowed to be let go, Shoufu, do you understand?" ”
Huang Liji's brows furrowed, and he said for a while: "The old minister obeys the order." ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at Huang Liji's undisguised prevarication, and thought of the 'eunuch list' listed in Zhou Zheng's recital, and the name of this first assistant was impressively listed, and his disgust rose sharply.
But he couldn't do without this Shoufu now, suppressed his boredom, and said: "Cao Yubian, the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, will be your deputy, and the others will be exempted." ”
In the current court, almost all of them are eunuchs, even Cao Yubian, when Tianqi was alive, he split out of the eunuch party and left it to Zhu Youzhen to check and balance the court.
Huang Liji raised his hand and said, "The old minister obeys the order." ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at his thin old face, couldn't guess his thoughts, and waved his hand: "Go." ”
Huang Liji looked at Zhu Youzhen, his expression tightened, and said, "The old minister obeys the order." ”
Li Guopu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he swallowed back when he looked at Zhu Youzhen's cold eyes.
Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything more, and watched the two leave with an angry and indifferent expression.
Li Zhong hurriedly came in from outside, walked to Zhu Youzhen's side, handed over a notebook, and said in a low voice: "Long live the lord, Elder Feng Ge has impeached Shoufu again." ”
Zhu Youzhen took it and threw it aside, snorted coldly, and said, "A raccoon dog!" ”
Li Zhong still maintained a bent posture, did not say any more, and did not move again.
He has always kept in mind Zhou Zheng's words, watching more, listening more, doing less and talking less.
Zhu Youzhen was still angry in his heart, and after a while, he said: "I asked you to supervise Dongchang, what is the movement of the outer court?" ”
Li Zhong hurriedly said: "Back to the words of the Long Live Lord, there is news from outside the palace that the Wei Mansion is now busy transferring family property, and the Wei family is preparing to leave Beijing in a big car and a small car. ”
"They want to be beautiful!"
Zhu Youzhen's eyes became more and more cold, and he said: "There are more than 20 dukes in a family, which is unprecedented in ancient times, and he Wei Zhongxian will really be able to shadow his descendants!" Go, check the specific list for me, and no one will be released from Beijing! ”
Li Zhong listened, his face was embarrassed, and he couldn't speak.
Zhu Youzhen frowned, looked at him and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
Li Zhong's expression changed slightly, and he said tremblingly: "Long live Lord, Dongchang, the slaves and maids can't be mobilized, and they are all Wei Zhongxian's people." ”
Zhu Youzhen became more and more annoyed, snorted, and said, "Useless things!" Wait for Luo Yangxing to come back and ask him to come to see me. ”
Although Zhu Youzhen has been living in the palace for two months, even if Wei Zhongxian is dead, his control over the court situation and various institutions is still quite weak, and he needs to rely on Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, and others to do things.
Relying on the eunuch party to do things made him even more annoyed!
As for counting on Huang Liji to deal with the eunuchs, it was an expedient measure that he had to do.
Li Zhong didn't dare to say more. He was also one of the closest people to the new emperor, who he had seen turn from mild-mannered to moody.
Perhaps, this should be the real emperor. Li Zhong was cautious on his face and said to himself in his heart.
"By the way, you go and find Zhou Yuanshan." Zhu Youzhen said suddenly.
Far mountains, Zhou Qingli's words.
"Yes." Li Zhong responded and went out quickly.
