Wang Chengen knelt on the ground with a puff, bowed his head and sang: "Son of Heaven Shengming, at this time, the conquest of Li Zhi may make the Ming army disaster everywhere, and the people will not be able to survive." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the saint, focusing on the overall situation, I can't help but let Li Zhi go! ”

Wang Dehua, the eunuch of Dongchang, also knelt on the ground and sang: "Holy and sage, you should focus on the overall situation." ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the two little eunuchs on the ground, took a breath, and did not speak.

Wang Chengen said: "Moreover, the Holy Lord, Li Zhi's killing spree this time is entirely for the purpose of collecting taxes from the gentry in Tianjin. If the gentry can divide the land endowment equally, the small people will not be crushed by the land endowment, and they will not be thieves. This is a piece of faith. In today's court situation, there is no one such a loyal minister. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't have the idea of asking Li Zhi in the first place, but Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua's shouting gave Zhu Youzhen a step to let Li Zhi go. Following the steps set up by the two little eunuchs, Zhu Youzhen took advantage of the situation and said, "Although Li Zhi can be spared from death, this time Li Zhi is too much and must not be punished." ”

Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua glanced at each other, not knowing how the Son of Heaven was going to punish Li Zhi. Now that Li Zhibing is strong and strong, he is in Gyeonggi, and the Son of Heaven dares to punish him? If the punishment is severe, Li Zhi will be angry, and he will raise the anti-flag in the future, and it will be the Son of Heaven who is unlucky.

Wang Chengen knelt on the ground and sang: "Holy Lord, the shocking move of Li Zhi, the uncle of the country, is all for the safety of the country, and his loyalty is commendable. Since Li Zhi has already handed over more than one million taels of silver obtained by raiding his family, don't punish him. Otherwise, it will hurt Xingguobo's heart to serve the country, and I am afraid that something will happen in the future..."

Zhu Youzhen looked at Wang Chengen and said: "If you can't go unpunished, you will take away the official position of Prince Li Zhi and punish Li Zhi for one year..."

It turned out to be to take away the official position of the crown prince and the prince and pay a fine for one year.

Li Zhi is now Xingguobo, and the official position of the prince and the prince is dispensable, and it is nothing to take it away. As for the one-year fine, it is even more understated. Li Zhi's family has a big business, and his name has a large industry, so he doesn't know how much silver he has to earn in a year, and where does he care about more than 1,000 yuan a year.

The so-called punishment of the Son of Heaven also means to find a step for yourself.

Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua glanced at each other, and sang in unison: "Son of Heaven Shengming! ”

On the morning of the third day, the hundred officials were excited.

They had all read Li Zhi's recital yesterday, and when they saw that Li Zhi had given all the money he had stolen from the killing ring to the Son of Heaven, the civil officials were filled with righteous indignation. Every time Li Zhi made a difficulty, he gave silver to the Son of Heaven. If this continues, wouldn't it be the Son of Heaven and Li Zhi joining forces to exploit the gentry and civil officials in the world?

Although every time the Son of Heaven encountered Li Zhi making trouble, he put on an angry appearance. But each time, it was lifted high and gently lowered. Although full of anger, it is always dealt with lightly. In the past, Li Zhi killed the Son of Heaven when he killed the imperial history Liu Bingchuan's family, and later Li Zhi collected business taxes and killed the Son of Heaven when he killed the governor of Tianjin, Cha Dengbei.

In this way, every time Li Zhi wins a big victory. On the surface, the Son of Heaven seemed to stand with the civil officials and share the same hatred, but when it was time to punish Li Zhi and see the truth, the Son of Heaven fell to Li Zhi's side and let Li Zhi get away with it.

As a result, every time, it became a win-win situation for Li Zhi and the Son of Heaven, amassing wealth and collecting taxes, and it was always civil officials who were unlucky.

This time, Li Zhi killed hundreds of gentry, killed two governors and three prefects, and the officials in the world were in mourning. But the Son of Heaven got more than one million taels of silver from Li Zhi because of this, and his internal money was greatly enriched.

This million taels of silver is the blood of civil officials and gentry in the world.

This time, before the early dynasty, before the noon gate, the civil officials gathered together and discussed. They said that they must not let go of Li Zhi and the Son of Heaven this time. No matter what the Son of Heaven says, Li Zhi will be questioned this time!

When Zhu Youzhen sat on the throne and watched the Manchu Dynasty civil and military enter the Imperial Palace, he found that today's atmosphere was a little different from before.

The civil servants were resolute in their eyes and in their actions, and it seemed that they were about to attack at any moment.

The official of Honglu Temple shook the whip and shouted: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat!" ”

He Shishou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked out and sang loudly: "He Shishou has something to play!" ”

"Play!"

"Shengshang, this time Li Zhi broke through three mansions, destroyed forty-two gentry, and killed the second governor and three prefects, how to deal with it?"

Zhu Youzhen knew that He Shishou was the first to start, and then the civil officials would collectively attack. Looking at the resolute civil officials, Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, said: "It has been clearly written on the approval of the red, this time he will take away the official position of Prince Li Zhi and be fined for one year!" ”

Before Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, Peng Youde laughed out loud in the middle of the matter, as if he had heard a very funny joke.

Hearing Peng Youde's laughter, Zhu Youzhen frowned, knowing that there was nothing good. Every time Li Zhi's problem is mentioned, this Peng Youde is at the forefront. This time Li Zhi killed so many people, this household branch is all about to give Peng Youde a frenzy.

The official of Honglu Temple shook the whip and shouted, "Silence! ”

However, at this time, the civil officials in the court did not care about etiquette, and the whole audience looked at Peng Youde to see what he was going to say.

Peng Youde stood up and sang loudly: "Every time Li Zhi kills and poisons Shilin, the Son of Heaven protects him in every way. On the surface, he is angry, but in fact he is never punished. Li Zhi's courage is getting stronger and stronger, and this time he actually dares to slaughter the officials of the imperial court. This kind of unbearable thing is all arrogant from the Son of Heaven. ”

"Li Zhi's sin is in Li Zhi on the surface, but in fact in the Son of Heaven!"

"I propose that this time the Son of Heaven issue an edict against himself and fast for one year to show his responsibility for the deaths of Zhang Pu, Wang Gongbi, and Li Jizhen."

"As for Li Zhi, he sent a decree to enter Beijing and take it in front of the Jinshui Bridge. Spread the first nine sides! ”

Zhu Youzhen took a breath, looked coldly at Peng Youde, who had repeatedly committed crimes, and said, "Li Zhi's army is full of relatives and friends, and they are extremely united. Take Li Zhi, if Li Xing, Zheng Kaicheng and others raise troops to make trouble, what will they use to suppress it? ”

Peng Youde laughed and said, "How to quell the rebellion is the business of the Son of Heaven." It is the business of the people of the world that Li Zhi cannot be allowed to accumulate and kill the gentry. Today, on behalf of the people of the world and the Son of Heaven, I will make it clear that if Li Zhi is not killed, everyone in the world will rebel! ”

When Wang Chengen heard these disrespectful words, he shouted: "Peng Youde, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Peng Youde shouted: "Of course I know what I'm talking about, the Son of Heaven and Li Zhi joined forces to collect wealth and kill the gentry, and the people of the world see it, what crime should they be guilty of?" ”

Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth and looked at Peng Youde, angry.

In the middle of the ring, he said angrily: "Drag it down, fifty court staffs!" ”

Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, ten wolf-like brocade guards rushed down, grabbed Peng Youde and pulled him out.

Peng Youde was dragged out by the Jinyi guard, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said loudly: "Today, the Son of Heaven killed me in the court, and I will do it for a while." Tomorrow I will be famous all over the world, and I will be there for a lifetime. ”

Seeing Peng Youde's impassionedness, the civil officials in the court glanced at each other, and they all stepped forward.
