Chongzhen is the emperor, focusing on the overall situation, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is a capital crime, and the people are to be immersed in the pig cage. But Wang Yue destroyed so many Qing soldiers and made great contributions. Not to mention fornicating with the second lady of the British government, even if he fornicates with ten or eight more, Chongzhen doesn't take it seriously.

He coughed lightly and said, "Since you didn't catch the rape on the spot, don't slander other people's reputation." What's more, the two of them have already decided to get married, and they are about to get married. In the future, no one is allowed to talk behind their backs, otherwise they will be severely punished. ”

Chongzhen denied another one.

Xie Baoqing took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Wang Sihua said that soldiers have short hair in order to wear steel helmets to prevent stray arrows. After a head injury, it is easy to clean up. Without these effective measures, how can we repeatedly defeat Jiannu? How can you say that you are not filial? Do we have to abide by the old rules and let the slaves run rampant? ”

"Lord Xie, Wang Yue's victory is because of the benefits of firearms, why is it because of the short hair, this is a quibble!" Shao Liangrui said sharply.

Yuan You, the servant of the ministry, sneered: "Lord Xie is good friends with that Wang Yue, of course he has to speak for that Wang Yue." Since Lord Xie and Wang Yue are familiar with each other, may I ask Lord Xie, where does Wang Yue's wealth come from? DID YOU KNOW? ”

"Uh, this...!" This can stop Xie Baoqing, this is Wang Yue's usual verbal secret, never said!

Yuan You laughed and said, "Lord Xie has nothing to say, right?" He then said to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, isn't it suspicious that this Wang Yue was just an exile in the past, and he suddenly had the wealth of a country that rivaled the richness of the country?" If he can't tell the emperor this, it will be a big crime of bullying the king! ”

Liu Zunxian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, looked at it for a long time and saw that the emperor was partial to Wang Yue. And Wang Yue is indeed quite interesting, and the Ministry of Industry has benefited Wang Yue. If Wang Yue falls, will the highway still be built? Is the material company still going to do it? How much less does the Ministry of Industry have to buy? In the past, any project, the Ministry of Engineering was spending money. Now there is still income, which is something that has not been seen in a hundred years!

Seeing that Xie Baoqing was unable to support himself, he went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, I have a quota for officials in the court, and the old minister doesn't understand, so many officials have fine clothes and food, where did the Huating Mansion come from?" Can you tell us where it came from? ”

Liu Zunxian is a very traditional literati, he has been an official for many years, and he is basically a clean breeze with two sleeves, so what he said is justifiable.

The Ming Dynasty did not have a system for declaring the assets of officials, nor did it have the crime of unknown origin of huge amounts of property. Moreover, the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty are the lowest in history, and almost everyone has extra money.

They sued Wang Yue for this, they were too curious, but they didn't know where Wang Yue came from with such a huge wealth? Then the emperor, if he doesn't answer, it will be a bully, and he will punish the nine clans.

Chongzhen also knows what kind of virtue those officials are, after all, he has been a king of letters. If Yuan You and Liu Zunxian are allowed to raise the bar like this, and the property of all the ministers in the court and the central government is shaken, the court will be paralyzed tomorrow. Why? Because nine and a half out of ten officials will be beheaded for embezzlement and bribery.

Before Chongzhen could speak, Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, came out and said sharply: "Your Majesty, there is no precedent in our dynasty, and the laws of the ancestors cannot be changed lightly. ”

Wen Tiren said: The old man watched you shrimp soldiers and crabs perform, why did you do it and get it to the head of the old capital? The old man has been the chief assistant of the Chongzhen Dynasty for the longest time, and the following filial piety can be less?

When he made this statement, members of the Wen Party and weak-minded officials all went out to admonish Chongzhen one after another, and this proposal was not feasible.

Chongzhen took a look,! Are you afraid of this? He took the opportunity to say: "Well, Wen Ge's words do not lose the meaning of becoming old and seeking the country!" ”

A group of courtiers have praised the emperor for thousands of years, and the words are like a tide!

Wen Tiren is a cautious person. Liu Zunxian is old, has a high official position, and is also in the heart of the emperor, so he cannot be moved lightly. Since this Wang Yue was awarded an official for meritorious service, he has never come to visit him, an elder, so rich, it is not embarrassing. It's too big, isn't it? With so many people stepping on him today, I'll step on him too! Who told him to almost implicate me?

"Your Majesty, just now I heard that there is one of the evidence of impeachment against Wang Yue, that starting point city has tens of thousands of residents, and it is about to become a country within a country. I suggest that the imperial court send officials, establish government subordinates, and integrate them into the imperial court's governance. Wen Tiren said.

When Liu Zunxian heard this, he said categorically: "No! The land that Wang Yue bought from the British government and built the city at his own expense, weren't the inhabitants the long-term tenants he hired? And the starting point city is in Wanping County, and it has its own Wanping County management, how can it be a country within a country? There are tens of thousands of inhabitants in his city, but there are still fewer people in the Jingshi clan and thousands of slaves? Why don't they all send officials and establish subordinates? ”

He remembered Wang Yue's words that day, if tens of thousands of young people rebelled, it was unimaginable! What's more, he now knows that Wang Yue's military strength cannot be underestimated. People's lives are good, what is the court doing?

Wen Tiren didn't expect that Liu Zunxian and Wang Yue had not been dating for a long time, but they were so supportive, which made him puzzled.

"Humph! Lord Liu, you have the benefit of Wang Yue, so you speak so hard for him? Wen Tiren snorted coldly.

Liu Zunxian laughed and said: "That's right, I just got the benefits of Wang Yue, and even our Ministry of Industry got the benefits of Wang Yue!" Saying that, he looked at everyone in the court, patted his chest and said: "Whoever wants to move Wang Yue, it's best to ask me first if I agree, and our Ministry of Industry agrees!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, the two attendants of the Ministry of Industry and the officials of the Ministry of Industry in the court all stood up.

They shouted one after another: "Our Ministry of Industry does not agree!" ”

Okay, Xie Baoqing saw that there was nothing wrong with him, and he returned to his original position.

Wen Tiren looked at it and was stupid! What is this for? He spent his days thinking about calculating others, and he knew about the building materials company, but he didn't know about it.

Xue Guoguan was in the same party as him, and seeing that he didn't know why, he leaned over and whispered in his ear for a while. Wen Tiren then understood, not only did the Ministry of Industry benefit from Wang Yue, but even the emperor also benefited.

He glanced at Chongzhen's face, returned to work obediently, and stopped talking.

Those who impeached Wang Yue, seeing that Wen Ge was speechless, all opened their mouths and stammered, not knowing what to do. Du Xin said: Wen Ge Lao Du was defeated, isn't he a dish?

Chongzhen looked left and right, no one spoke, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" If you have nothing to do, please retreat! ”

He saw that the Ministry of Industry supported Wang Yue because of the material company and highway construction. This is not a party, and of course he will not take it to heart.

The little eunuch shouted at the top of his voice: "The emperor has retreated!" ”

"Congratulations to the emperor!"
