Chapter 426: Sending Qian Qianyi to Prison (Fifth Update)
From the burning down of Donglin Academy, to the self-cutting of children and grandchildren, and now the beheading of the crown prince of Java, a series of events that are enough to stimulate a person to become split personality are superimposed on Qian Qianyi, causing Qian Qianyi to obviously lose his mind at this time.

Coupled with the deliberate instigation of Li Mingrui, who is well versed in human psychology, Qian Qianyi completely fell into another state of madness at this time, that is, he frantically wanted to make the image of a direct minister and a minister who wanted to do but did not do in the past.
Qian Qianyi naively thought that the opinions he insisted on were beneficial to Daming, and he was sincerely considering the interests of the country, so he was not wrong.
In the final analysis, there is still a bit of scholarly anger at work, especially when encountering a political enemy like Li Mingrui, he is like a mad dog and wants to rush up and bite without thinking.
However, he has forgotten a basic political principle, that is, he is a cabinet minister, not a science and technology official, and now he is directly impeaching a cabinet scholar in front of Zhu Youxiao, which is a big political taboo!
Zhu Youxiao was so angry that he couldn't speak, he never thought that this Qian Qianyi would suddenly become so stupid and stupid today, and even directly stiffened himself, this is simply incredible!
He seems to have made it very clear that the extermination of the Java country is the decision of His Majesty the Emperor, not just Li Mingrui's proposal, but now he wants to impeach Li Mingrui in front of himself, and he is obviously suspected of forcing himself.
However, Zhu Youxiao still didn't directly order someone to take down this Qian Qianyi, because he still needs a reason now, one that is enough to punish Qian Qianyi, who suddenly doesn't know how to lift.
After all, it would chill the hearts of the old-fashioned faction to take the liberty of killing a minister who suddenly spoke out and behaved very sincerely, and he was still the head of the cabinet.
Now Zhu Youxiao is not good, and he can kill all the ministers who oppose him in a big way as he did when he first took control of the government, so as to establish his prestige.
And now I want to strike a balance, and since I want to achieve a balance, I have to have a reason for any decision I make.
Li Mingrui obviously guessed what His Majesty Zhu Youxiao needed today, so he stood up very decisively at this time, and showed a very aggrieved look and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know where he offended Qian Ge Lao, and let Qian Ge Lao slander Wei Chen so much, saying that Wei Chen has ill intentions, and Wei Chen here dares to swear to my ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, but if I, Li Mingrui, have the slightest disloyalty to Your Majesty, I will teach the sky to fight five thunders!" ”
As he spoke, Li Mingrui took out an account book from his sleeve again: "However, Weichen also has an object about Qian Ge Lao here, this object was presented to Xia Guan by a small official of Honglu Temple, and it is a bill for the crown prince of Java who was worried about being punished by Damei after killing people, and part of the wealth from the tribute was dedicated to Qian Ge Lao, please take a look at it!" ”
Li Mingrui handed it to Zhu Youxiao and said: "Because I am worried that it may be that the Java State deliberately instigated the relationship between the first assistant of my Ming Cabinet and His Majesty, so Wechen has been hiding and not reporting, at this moment, since the old Qian Pavilion said that Weichen is a disloyal minister, then Wechen will risk his life to present this thing to His Majesty, who is the disloyal minister, please Your Majesty to find out!" ”
As he spoke, Li Mingrui also saluted Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao took this letter and unfolded it, but it was just the content of all the merchant groups of the Ming Dynasty who unconditionally supported His Majesty the Emperor's expedition to Java and were willing to pay an additional tax of two thousandths.
Zhu Youxiao did not expose Li Mingrui as a bully, because in any case, Li Mingrui did provide himself with a reason to dispose of Qian Qianyi, that is, Qian Qianyi colluded with the foreign crown prince and accepted bribes, which made the situation so serious.
This argument is logically valid and convincing enough for others.
What's more, Li Mingrui also specially used this letter to make a deal for Zhu Youxiao, that is, these emerging capital chaebols are willing to pay more business taxes in order to seek His Majesty's support, frankly speaking, Zhu Youxiao hates Li Mingrui and others to exchange interests with himself, but Zhu Youxiao has to admit that this deal is indeed very tempting.
Therefore, the very realistic Zhu Youxiao decisively raised his hand and pointed at Qian Qianyi, and shouted: "What a Qian Qianyi, in vain, I relied on you so much, and let you be the head of a hundred officials, but I didn't expect you to be such a wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, not to mention accepting bribes, and even for a small barbarian country, he did not hesitate to use his power to forcibly suppress the criminal murder case of the crown prince of Java, and also intended to collude with the Javanese country to make trading profits, I will not spare you!" ”
"Come on, take off the black veil on Qian Qianyi's head, remove him from all official positions, and immediately go to prison!"
Zhu Youxiao wanted to behead Qian Qianyi directly, but when he saw the corner of Li Mingrui's mouth grinning slightly, he changed his words, and only sent Qian Qianyi to prison first.
And Li Mingrui also realized at this time that he seemed to be acting too much just now, and he still asked His Majesty to stop his hand, which made him feel a little regretful.
However, Li Mingrui's behavior of directly sending Qian Qianyi into the Dongchang Imperial Prison in one fell swoop today still caused a great shock to the government and the opposition, and no one would have thought that Li Mingrui, who had just been defeated by Qian Qianyi, would fight back so quickly, and this counterattack directly made the highest-level officials of the old school fall from power.
Guo Yunhou was also very curious, he vaguely remembered that Li Mingrui said that Qian Qianyi would end up miserable, but he didn't expect that Li Mingrui would predict so accurately and so quickly, just when everyone thought that Qian Qianyi would further consolidate his position as the first assistant after beheading the crown prince of Java, and even many ministers who were inclined to be attached to the flames had begun to come to him again, but he didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, and the second assistant of the cabinet, Li Mingrui, made Qian Qianyi suddenly fall and was arrested and imprisoned with just a report letter.
You must know that once you enter the edict, especially the civil officials, even if you don't die, you have to fall into the skin.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Guo Yunhou couldn't help but stop Li Mingrui and asked, "Elder Li Ge, did Qian Qianyi really accept a bribe from the crown prince of Java to protect the crown prince of Java in the first place?" ”
Li Mingrui couldn't help but smile: "Da Situ asked me, how do I know?" ”
Guo Yunhou was speechless: "You personally handed over the form, don't you know?" ”
"That's all fake, I was slowly pacifying the people who were making trouble in Shuntian Mansion, where did I have time to check on his Qian Qianyi, I just learned from the imperial history, although Qian Qianyi was not considered a big greed, but he must have received a gift from the crown prince of Java, otherwise he would not have bought another house a month ago, so there is a reason, at least many people believe it."
Guo Yunhou glanced at Li Mingrui with disdain, and then asked, "Then how did you make Your Majesty believe in you." ”
