Chapter 61: Eun Xiang, I'm sorry
Tu Jie worriedly looked at a few inspection schools and asked Zhu Rong to go to the mansion to talk to each other, but Zhu Rong didn't get out of the carriage, Li Jinglong got out of the carriage and guarded the streets with several inspection schools.
Liu Jiu opened the carriage curtain, and Zhu Rong, who was sitting inside, looked at Tu Jie and said:
"What this king hates the most is you sneaky dog officials, say, what are you looking for this king?"
The stubbornness of the king of Qi has long been heard, and Tu Jie is not angry.
He bowed his head and knelt:
"Your Majesty, the sage, save the dynasty and drown, the minister wants to expose Hu Weiyong!"
The civil and military affairs of the imperial court all know that His Majesty wants to deal with Hu Weiyong, the prime minister lost his son, and the court did not send anyone to mourn, which is enough to explain His Majesty's attitude.
Tu Jie advised Hu Weiyong to make plans early.
dispatched troops and horses, waiting for an opportunity to attack the capital to seek a glimmer of life, but Hu Weiyong did not make a choice and delayed it, and the ending was nothing more than a funeral for Hu Weiyong.
Eun Xiang, I'm sorry!
Zhu Yu looked at Tu Jie and felt surprised: "You should go to see your father!" β
Tu Jie looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment, someone must intercede for him in this matter, begging for mercy, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely behead him!
Who in the DPRK and China would dare to intercede for him?
Prince!
Tu Jie's eyes showed a little sincerity, his eyes fell quietly on Zhu Rong, and he said slowly: "His Royal Highness King Qi, the minister has evidence of guilt, who killed Liu Ji's son!" β
"Who is it?"
"It's not important, Your Highness will listen to the minister's statement first."
Zhu Yu was also curious.
"Hu Weiyong's first crime is collusion with friends!"
"His relatives and friends, but anyone who can breathe, have arranged positions in the court, and some have even entered the Zhongshu Province, and the official position of the minister is also granted by him!"
"He also befriended Huaixi Xungui, Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongheng............"
"Hu Weiyong's second crime, embezzlement and bribery!"
"Father is staring at the household, how can he do it?"
"Your Highness doesn't know that the officials appointed by Hu Weiyong went down to the local government to draw up the tax amount without authorization, and in the name of the imperial court, they levied an additional tax of 10% to 30%, and then handed it over to Hu Weiyong."
The two imperial historians before and after the Metropolitan Procuratorate were Hu Weiyong's people, no wonder the Metropolitan Procuratorate has not reported it.
In fact, since Liu Ji Zhishi, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been controlled by the Huaixi nobles, and the successively appointed Imperial Shi Zhongcheng and Imperial Shi Dafu are all officials of Huaixi.
The imperial history with a little righteousness will be squeezed out to be a local official.
"Third, arbitrariness!"
"If he didn't report it, he dared to draw up an official capital crime without authorization, and officials who had a disagreement with him were arranged to ............"
Tu Jie glanced at Zhu Rong, bowed his head and said:
"The minister is also guilty, I implore the king of Qi to be exempt from responsibility in front of His Majesty, let the minister, and return to his hometown!"
Ah, do you still want to say goodbye to your hometown?
"How do you know that this king will agree?"
"King Qi will definitely not agree!"
"However, the person who killed Liu Ji's son has been arrested, if the King of Qi is willing to execute him for Liu Ji, Liu Ji will also do his best for the King of Qi, right?"
Tu Jie is Hu Weiyong's staff.
It can be seen that King Qi defended Liu Ji because he took a fancy to his talent, and he didn't think about it, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were there, and there was no possibility of success.
Zhu Yu knew that Liu Ji was very sad in his heart, and if he helped Liu Ji execute those people, Liu Ji would definitely concentrate on plotting for him.
Even if it's not for that.
He should also help Liu Ji because he is Liu Ji's protΓ©gΓ©.
This is the last shot to remove Hu Weiyong, after listening, Zhu Biao wanted to execute Hu Weiyong immediately, he didn't believe it, his father could still tolerate Hu Weiyong's actions after hearing it, and he should go back to the palace.
Not only Hu Weiyong should be executed.
Zhu Yu also wants to get Liu Ji back to the court.
Tu Jie humbly took out a piece of hemp rope from his arms, "Please ask Your Highness to tie up your ministers." β
Zhu Yu admired Tu Jie's thoughts, his father saw him come to bear the guilt, his anger would be dispelled, the carriage could not accommodate three people, and Tu Jie entered the palace in his own carriage.
The two carriages stopped at the noon gate, Zhu Rong held the hemp rope, and the other end of the hemp rope led the Tu Jie tied into zongzi.
The inspectors were stunned, the notoriety of King Qi in the palace was only better than that of Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, and he often did wanton things, but he didn't dare to stop him, so he ran to the palace to report.
Zhu Rong could not meet Zhu Yuanzhang.
But Tu Jie can, and Yushi can meet the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the two had come to the front of the Jinshen Palace, and when he looked up, he saw Zhu Rong leading Tu Jie into the hall with a hemp rope.
"Father!"
Zhu Yu threw the hemp rope to the ground.
"Father, you often say that the Imperial Court is your eyes and ears, but you believe in Hu Weiyong, you are blinded up and down, the world is in chaos, and the people betray, but you don't know it."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Rong calmly and said, "We haven't punished you for a long time." β
"Your Majesty, King Qi is right."
"Minister......
Tu Jie was stunned, distracted, and speechless.
I don't know if King Qi can mean it.
Tied a hemp rope to see Zhu Yuanzhang, and pleaded guilty, but King Qi angered His Majesty first.
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes, leaned forward to look at the two of them, and had a posture of "If you don't give us an explanation today, don't want to walk out of the palace", he said coldly: "What does Tu Qing's family want to say?" β
"Minister, you want to expose Hu Weiyong's ......"
Tu Jie listed Hu Weiyong's crimes in a clear manner, who contacted the officials, what year and month the silver taels were collected, and how much was collected.
During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were straight, he had no words, pondered for a long time, and then said: "In addition to Pingliang Hou Feiju, Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongheng, what other Huaixi heroes?" β
"Nanxiong Hou Zhao Yong, Yingyang Hou Zheng Yuchun, Yichun Hou Huang Bin ......"
"What is he going to do when he befriends Wuhou?"
"In case His Majesty executes him, he will dispatch soldiers and horses outside the capital to capture the palace."
"You know?"
"Minister...... He is his advisor. β
After Tu Jie finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Zhu Yuanzhang's cold face, but turned his head to Zhu Rong, Your Highness, you promised to intercede for me!
"Ah, this king promised to bring you to see your father."
Tu Jie's eyes were distracted, his face turned white, and he sat on the hall with his legs bent, his face full of death.
Zhu Yuanzhang's hands on his back were tightened, such a corrupt official must be executed, it is useless for anyone to intercede, it is useless for anyone to come! He is not a murderer, and he is not a soft-hearted person!
Zhu Yuanzhang killed people but didn't ask for a reason.
And besides, there is a reason!
Zhu Yu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, Hu Xiang also killed Liu Ji's son!" β
"Murder pays for life!"
"Erchen is going to kill him!"
