"Obey the order!" Zhao Yu cleared his throat and raised the volume, "The ministers participated in Xuanping Wang Li Qiu's barren state affairs, befriended eunuchs, Yan Yunhou Xiao Chen had no monarch, supported the army and respected himself, Zhu Xiaochuan neglected his duties, Chen Wenqi was not strict, Wang Anbang connived at corruption, Lu Jing falsely reported his military exploits, Ma Wuming cheated privately, Liu Qiheng did nothing, Shao Wenzhao did not know how to handle the case, and Gong Shouli was poor and extravagant......"

"Oh, this ......" Li Wanjiang was surprised and couldn't speak, Aiqing, you are a new official, I can understand, you are a strong order, and I know that I have always been not afraid of the powerful, but you can't officially set all my henchmen Aiqing on fire on the first day of taking office! Isn't this the one who roasted me on the fire?

Chen Jisheng was not like you back then...... Why don't you even let go of Gong Shouli!

"Please ask the emperor to investigate their mistakes and punish them severely!" Zhao Yu said.

"It's supposed to be checked, but Aiqing, you have all of them, who am I going to send to investigate? You are the one who participated, and you can't be asked to check it? "Li Wanjiang is in a dilemma.

"Please ask the Holy One to investigate for himself!" Zhao Yu said, "Except for the emperor, no one can find out about this matter!" ”

"Huh?" Li Wanjiang was taken aback again, you let me investigate it myself...... Is this what it means to appoint me?

"Your Majesty, your son knows your mistakes!" Li Qiu suddenly stepped forward, "All the things Zhao Yu cited are true, it is indeed the son of the minister who did something inappropriate, and he is willing to accept the emperor's punishment!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is also guilty, but the minister does not admit his guilt!" Xiao Chen also stepped forward, "Zhao Yu said that the ministers have no monarch, but in fact, the ministers offended the emperor because they were anxious when they bluntly admonished, and they also scolded people rudely in front of the emperor and almost beat people...... As for supporting the army and self-respect, the minister has nothing to refute, so he can only ask the emperor to give the minister innocence! ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers also know their mistakes." Chen Wenqi said in a deep voice, "Below the household department, there are many drawbacks, Zhao Yu's performance is also the truth, the minister is the secretary of the household department, no matter what, it is difficult to escape the blame!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xiaochuan, Ma Wuming, Lu Jing, Wu Zicheng, Wu Zhongze, and Gong Shouli also claimed that they were indeed at fault, and what Lord Zhao Yu participated in was true, and they were unable to refute it, and they were willing to be punished!

The attitude of admitting mistakes is simply not too good.

"Well, I know that, too." Li Wanjiang pondered for a while and slowly spoke, "The so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, and they are all different, not to mention that there are more than a thousand people in the departments in charge of a few of you?" There are a few black sheep among them, and that's not unusual, as the head of each department, you are certainly guilty of negligence, but I am also responsible. ”

"Your Majesty!" At this time, the ministers couldn't sit still, and all the hulala stood up.

"Zhao Yu, you are involved in Wu Er's Li Qiu's waste of state affairs and befriending eunuchs, this is too much? The errand I gave to Li Qiu, he did it all, after all, it was not easy to do this when he first arrived, as for befriending eunuchs, you are talking about Gong Shouli, right? Last time I pacified Langya, I appointed Shouli as the overseer, and Li Qiu was born and died together, and the two had a close relationship, so it didn't seem inappropriate? Li Wanjiang said.

"After all, Gong Shouli is a eunuch in the palace, and he often accompanies the emperor, no matter what, Prince Xuanping should not have a relationship with him, let alone have close contacts! But if the emperor says so, the minister has nothing to say! Zhao Yu said.

"Oh, I was discussing with you, but you were angry with me." Li Wanjiang said, "Then if it depends on you, what should I do with him?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare to say anything, please ask the emperor to judge the holy will!" Zhao Yu only asked the emperor to judge the holy will, but he did not say that he would be handed over to the ministry to discuss the crime.

"Then punish him for a year!" Li Wanjiang said, "Li Qiu, are you convinced to deal with it like this?" ”

"The son is willing to be punished for two years." Li Qiu said busily.

"Zhao Yu, what do you think of my handling like this?" Li Wanjiang looked at Zhao Yu with a little flattery in his eyes.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Zhao Yu said.

"Well, let's talk about Xiao Chen, he is still loyal to me, this is not what I said to myself, the big guys have witnessed it with their own eyes, even if he talks back to me, it is for the sake of national affairs, I can tolerate him, why can't you tolerate it? In addition, it is also a fact that he has contributed the most and rewarded the least with the pacification of Langya this time. Li Wanjiang said.

"As for saying that he supports the army and respects himself, that is also absurd, his soldiers in Yanyun County are not all soldiers of our Great Zhou? Hehe, Duan Fengnian doesn't support the army and is self-respecting, he is still well-behaved and obedient, he has never 'seen no monarch', but he is the opposite! ”

"As the so-called wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it, Xiao Chen Aiqing is also a big tree, and I have heard about him for a year or two, but he is still standing here, sharing worries for me and contributing to the country, but many of the people who say him are gone......"

"I'm not targeting you Zhao Yu, all of you Aiqing, who hasn't participated in him? But I believed in him from beginning to end! He didn't let me live up to the trust I placed in him...... Therefore, none of these two of your references to him are valid, and I must dismiss them! ”

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Chen hurriedly said, "Please also ask the emperor to punish the ministers at once, otherwise the emperor will even punish the prince, but you will not punish the ministers, and the ministers will be somewhat awkward in their hearts." ”

"Oh? Are you still embarrassed if you don't punish you? Li Wanjiang smiled, "Then I will also punish you for two years, you are so rich, you can't be punished for two years!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a little money, but it's all ......" Xiao Chenxin said to the emperor, what do you call this? I seem to have embezzled and taken bribes, but people obviously don't!

"Okay, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, you are a feudal official with a little money is nothing, I didn't say that I would pursue you, but Gong Shouli, you are a eunuch, why are you so rich? I heard that if you wait for a table of banquets, it will be thousands of taels of silver? Hehe, this is a hundred times more expensive than my imperial meal. Li Wanjiang ignored Xiao Chen and came to Gong Shouli again.

"What a son of a bastard is so bloody!" Gong Shouli said with a white face, "The slave put the full moon wine for the dog last night, and only invited two tables of guests, and each table tried his best to buy it, but it was only two hundred taels of silver, and the slave never put wine for a treat......"

"Before I finished speaking, you interrupted, it's really rude, this is a crime!" Li Wanjiang said, "If you are reasonable, you can prove your innocence by yelling at me?" I usually spoil you too much, which causes you to be so arrogant and domineering, and no one is in your eyes...... Within three days, you will have to write down all the details of your family property to me! ”

"The slave knows." Gong Shouli immediately wilted.

"Not only for me, but also for a copy to the Metropolitan Procuratorate! I have to ask Zhao Yu to send someone to verify and investigate, if you dare to hide it, see how I clean you up! Li Wanjiang said.

"Your Majesty, isn't this going to copy the slave's house?" Gong Shouli asked weakly.

"If there is a huge amount of property from unknown sources, it must be illegally gained, and I will not only raid your home, but also punish you! The big guys in the province always say that I am partial to you......" Li Wanjiang said.

"Slave Xie Lord Longen, Emperor Shengming!" Gong Shouli said.
