Chapter 66 Punishment of Criminal Relatives

"Father! What are you talking about, the civil officials of the foreign dynasty are doing this for the sake of your grandson's stability and solving the deficit of the imperial court! They do this, and I support it! ”

Then, Zhu Yijun heard the words of Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li said at this time: "Besides, when the first emperor was there, did you give you less land?" Why do you have to annex Mintian and not report it! Let me be disgraced, and let your grandson be disgraced too! ”

"That's it, how can you do it with munitions! If you want to do business, do it well, how can you ruin your grandson's military heart! You're ruining your grandson's foundation! ”

The more Empress Dowager Li spoke, the more stern her tone became.

Wu Qingbo cried directly and said, "Niangniang, you have wronged me!" Where do I think so, besides, where is this bad for the military! ”

Then, Wu Qingbo said: "What's more, now that Your Majesty is still young, you don't have the final say in this world, our Li family really has something inappropriate, who dares to say that our Li family is not successful?" You can't just think about the Zhu family! Don't take advantage of Your Majesty's young age to take care of our Li family! Do you know that your father also has a large family to support now, do you still want your father to work in the mud at his age to support his family? ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Didn't you make money if you didn't let you make it, and you didn't make less money over the years? If you weren't for the emperor's grandfather, would the Ministry of War give you this job of making winter clothes for the border army? ”

"But you yourself have to know how to abide by the rules, and you can't mess with the law just because you're a relative! It also made the royal family lose face! ”

Empress Dowager Li was a little angry, and said indisputably.

Wu Qingbo complained: "Your Majesty is not yet in power, what can't you do, as long as you don't care, who will dare to pursue it?" ”

Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but burst into tears: "Father, what are you talking about!" Do you think your daughter should protect you?! Then it doesn't matter what the people of the world think of me, what do they think of our Li family?! ”

Wu Qingbo clapped his hands and said urgently: "Where dare the minister ask you to protect you!" It's just that let Niangniang, let Your Majesty tell Zhang Juzheng, don't really deal with it according to the law, it's enough to punish you or something! Now Your Majesty is not in charge of the government, everything is not a matter of your words, you don't even want to do this, others say that you are charitable, how can you come to your father and not be charitable! ”

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he turned around and left the Empress Dowager Li's bedroom, and instructed Zhang Jing and Zhang Hong: "Don't listen anymore." ”

Then, after Zhu Yijun returned to his dormitory, he instructed Zhang Whale: "Immediately send the impeachment of Wu Qingbo to the cabinet!" Let's just say that this matter is related to the emperor's relatives and relatives, and it is inconvenient for me to make an arbitrary decision, so the cabinet will directly vote for it, and then your celebrant will directly approve it. ”

Zhu Yijun had to admit that the lord could be bullied, not only the foreign ministers were suspected of contemplating the Son of Heaven because of this, but even the powerful people such as the emperor's relatives would ignore the Son of Heaven and ignore the emperor's national law.

Wu Qingbo didn't take the interests of his grandson to heart, and his grandson naturally didn't have to consider Wu Qingbo's feelings.

What's more, he is a traverser, not the original Zhu Yijun, and his emotional ties to Wu Qingbo are not so heavy.

Moreover, Zhu Yijun also thought of Zhou Kui, the national ruler of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty, dedicating his grandson to Li Zicheng.

He had to admit that sometimes relatives don't necessarily really care about the friendship of relatives.

What's more, the heavenly family should have a harder heart, and not have the kindness of a woman.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun did not plan to talk to Wu Qingbo anymore in the end, and even left the impeachment of Wu Qingbo to the Wenhua Hall tomorrow after discussing with Zhang Juzheng, but directly asked the master of ceremonies to send it to the cabinet.

Zhu Yijun believes that Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant to the cabinet, will understand what he means by asking the cabinet not to worry about the mood of the Son of Heaven.

Cabinet.

"Uncle, what do you mean by this student (Zhu Nanyong), even if the exam is strict now, the patrol imperial history needs to report the affairs that have been exposed as soon as possible, and must not be hidden, but he shouldn't shake out the matter of Wu Qingbo! I also went directly to the impeachment without asking you first. Isn't it easy to spoil the overall situation of the entire restructuring! ”

Zhang Siwei is talking to Zhang Juzheng about this here.

At this time, the eunuch with the palm print in the clerical room personally sent the impeachment of Wu Qingbo to Zhang Juzheng: "Our family is here on the order of Gonggong Zhang, and it is the emperor's decree that this original copy should be directly voted on by the cabinet. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng said yes and took over the original book.

After Zhang Juzheng took the first copy, he smiled at Zhang Siwei and said, "The student servant himself knows it." ”

Although Zhang Juzheng is talking about Zhu Nanyong, he is obviously also talking about Zhu Yijun.

And Zhang Juzheng said that he personally wrote the ticket for Zhu Nanyong's impeachment of Wu Qingbo, and the vote was drafted: cut the Duke of Wuqing, ordered the commander of Nanjing, and brought him back to his hometown to live idle, and the eldest son of the person in charge of the shoddy case directly involved in the production of the fat jacket of the border army, that is, the uncle Li Wenquan, was dismissed from his post and sent to Jizhou, and was pardoned and exiled; this content.

Zhang Siwei was silent for a long time after watching from the sidelines.

Zhang Juzheng gave the prepared ticket to the eunuch who was still waiting here.

And after the eunuch with the palm print in the clerical room left with the note, Zhang Siwei smiled at Zhang Juzheng and said: "Uncle is really upright, quite admirable, no wonder Your Majesty is willing to trust Uncle so much!" ”

Zhang Juzheng just smiled faintly: "Ziwei is serious." ”

It didn't take long for the decree to reach the Ministry of Punishment.

The officials of the Criminal Department also took people to Wu Qingbo's mansion to lock up Wu Qingbo's eldest son Li Wenquan, and also announced to Wu Qingbo that he was cut down and demoted and ordered to return to his hometown to live idle.

Zhang Juzheng asked Wu Qingbo to return to his hometown, which also meant to protect Wu Qingbo, to prevent Wu Qingbo from being influenced by other powerful bureaucrats in the capital and continuing to do bad things, affecting the royal face, and staying in his hometown, avoiding being black and being used as a chess piece, not to mention, because he is a neighbor, it is not easy to lose face to the royal family, not to mention that even if he still comes nonsense regardless of the friendship of the villagers, it will not make everyone in the capital know.

Wu Qingbo naturally didn't understand Zhang Juzheng's intentions, and after hearing the will to execute him, he just froze in place on the spot, trembling and wanting to scold, but in the end he only cried: "The minister accepts the order." ”

Then, the sergeant of the Criminal Department escorted Li Wenquan over and began to put a yoke on him.

Li Wenquan couldn't bear it as Wu Qingbo, and while struggling, he scolded: "Zhang Juzheng, you are ruthless enough!" Even our Li family's title dare to be cut! Aren't you afraid that my sister will be angry?! ”

"Zhang Juzheng, you wait! You can only cut our titles now, and Your Majesty will restore them for us in the future!" And you will only be worse than us in the future! Maybe the family is ruined! ”

Li Wenquan continued to scold.

Syllable!

Wu Qingbo directly slapped Li Wenquan: "You shut up for me!" ”

Li Wenquan was stunned on the spot.

Wu Qingbo bowed his hand to the officials of the Criminal Department next: "Xiao'er is rude for a while, please bring a message to Yuanfu, don't worry about us, and look at Niangniang's face!" ”

The official of the Criminal Department nodded, and asked the sergeant to put all the shackles on Li Wen and escort him away.

And Wu Qingbo gritted his teeth and scolded after the officials of the Criminal Department and his son left: "Zhang Juzheng! You are really domineering, you don't even give your mother's face! I thought that without Feng Bao, you would be more restrained, but now that I think about it, either Zhang Hong or Zhang Whale colluded with you again, so that you still dare not to put Your Majesty in your eyes, not to put Niangniang in your eyes! ”
