Chapter 104 Hongye catches greed and kills people
Mutter...... It's dangerous!
Liu Jian, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, thought that he had almost stood out just now, and at this moment he couldn't help but look at his toes in fear, but fortunately he stopped it in time.
A household book with a total price of more than one million taels of silver, not to mention whether Xie Yikui's account book is true or false, is also unable to explain the origin of such a huge amount of wealth.
If you just stand up to defend such a person, not to mention whether Your Majesty will investigate it afterwards, but your hard-earned reputation will also be ruined.
Fortunately, he didn't stand up to defend Li Min, and he simply picked up a small life in vain.
Like Liu Jian, there are also Xu Pu and other clear streams, no matter what kind of psychology they have, they did not stand up to defend Li Min and saved their political career.
"How so?"
Ma Wensheng looked at Guo Yong in a daze, still unwilling to believe such a result, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
Although it was abandoned by the first emperor and thrown to Nanjing, the new dynasty returned from Nanjing with high spirits to do a great cause, how can it be planted here?
It's just Li Min, so the gold and silver he has have already overshadowed the eunuch Li Zhun of the former ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and he resolutely defended Li Min three times, and even asked His Majesty to acquit Li Min and stop raiding his house.
Zhu Youzhu ignored these wall-grass officials, and said lightly: "Since you don't want me to release Li Min, and don't want me to stop raiding the Li family, then let's discuss Wang Yue again!" It's also a coincidence that I have also received a petition from Huguang for all people! ”
The Book of the People?
When Ma Wensheng heard this, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Hey?
When Xu Pu and other officials heard this, they also felt that something bad would happen.
Although their civilian-official group has always excluded Wang Yue, it is undeniable that Wang Yue is the kind of upright gentleman who is open-minded. Even if he acts without emotion, it cannot be said that Wang Yue has done wrong.
Zhu Youzhu saw the reaction of the officials in the palace, and added: "This is the Wanmin Shu presented by Hubei, you all listen to it, don't worry about the country and the people here all day long without asking the people what the people need." If you can have the popularity of Wang Yue, why not give you the sword? ”
Guo Yong turned his head and glanced at Zhu Youji, then took the petition of the people and read it to the inside and outside of the palace: "Today, Huguang and Wanmin will ask the Imperial History King of the Left Capital of the Imperial Court to express his merits!" Since Wang Yue's recovery, he beheaded the evil gentry Li Guangming in Jingshan County, and punished the county magistrate of Jingshan ......"
"This is the real good official!"
"Wang Yue didn't do anything wrong, he killed all corrupt officials!"
"This is clearly a great pleasure, why is there anything wrong?"
"Someone is a bone in the egg, or he killed his fellow countryman or resented Wang Yue in the same year!"
……
The middle and lower-level officials who stayed outside the hall, such as Liu Jiyu, a member of the Tuntian Division, shrugged their ears and listened, but after hearing the specific content of the Book of the People, they all silently stood on Wang Yue's side.
Although Wang Yue killed officials such as Li Guangming, the former prefect of Shunde, and the magistrate of Jingshan, it is clear that these officials committed the crime first, how can Wang Yue be dismissed because of this matter?
For a while, His Royal Highness's officials supported Wang Yue, but they didn't think that Wang Yue had done wrong. Compared with the upper echelons, the middle and lower officials are far less complicated.
"Your Majesty, Wang Yue punished local corrupt officials according to law, and this matter cannot be attributed to Wang Yue's indiscriminate killing, but the Huguang officialdom has been eroded to the roots, how can there be any reason not to kill! Today, all the people have made contributions to Wang Yue, in fact, they are also grateful for His Majesty's grace, so please do not allow Ma Wensheng to invite! Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, represented the rule of officials, and immediately stood up and said.
"The ministers seconded it!" Liu Xuan, the right attendant of the ministry, and other officials immediately responded to Li Yudao.
Wan An knew that Wang Yue was simply Zhu Youji's treasure, so he immediately led all the officials to stand up and say: "The ministers seconded the proposal, and Wang Yue should be rewarded and not punished!" ”
This......
Ma Wensheng saw that almost all the high-ranking officials in the hall stood up to defend Wang Yue, and couldn't help but look at Wan An and Li Yu and the others in shock.
He didn't expect that the lonely minister who was excluded by hundreds of officials would have so many officials to speak for him, and he didn't understand how Wang Yue had made such a big reputation, so that his attack this time seemed so ridiculous.
I always thought that Zhu Youzhu didn't pay attention to himself because he was weak-hearted, but Zhu Youzhu had already separated from the ministers, and he dared to love that this new monarch was waiting for him to hit the muzzle!
Zhu Youzhu saw that the attitude of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty was clear, so he looked at Ma Wensheng and said: "Ma Yushi, do you still think that the imperial court should dismiss Wang Yue?" ”
"Minister...... The minister is not thoughtful, and the minister is willing to take it back! Ma Wensheng knew that he couldn't push back on the dismissal of Wang Yue at all, so he had no choice but to back down.
Zhu Youzhi didn't intend to let go of Ma Wensheng, so he said lightly: "Ma Yushi, let's talk about Qingyunhou next!" You have always been legal about Li Min's case, why did you come to Qingyunhou to intercede? Dare to say that you can intercede, it is all up to your heart? ”
Hey?
Du Ming and other officials of the Criminal Department reacted at this time, and immediately turned their heads to look at Ma Wensheng.
In Li Min's case, Ma Wensheng has indeed been emphasizing the law. It's just that when he encountered the case of Qingyunhou, he ignored the law, but talked about filial piety.
Although everyone guessed that it was impossible for His Majesty to kill Qingyunhou, but now that both things came from Ma Wensheng's mouth, this person was really ...... Double standard.
"The minister didn't mean that! It's just that Qingyunhou is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty insists on killing Qingyunhou, which will make the Empress Dowager sad, which is against filial piety! Ma Wensheng found out that he was indeed a little peeking at the new king, and even reiterated his opinion.
"Your Majesty, about the Marquis of Qingyun, the minister has a play!" Song Cheng, the new Shaoqing of Dali Temple, found that the emperor was looking at him, and he was out of the tunnel.
What's going on?
Officials such as Hubu Shangshu Li Si all knew that Song Cheng was an emperor, but now seeing him suddenly stand up and do something, he suddenly had a premonition that something different was about to happen.
Who is this?
When Ma Wensheng saw this black-faced young man wearing a fourth-grade official uniform, he couldn't help but look at him strangely.
Zhu Youzhu had actually prepared for today's events, and he had already made a decision in his heart, so he said lightly: "Quasi-play!" ”
"Song Cheng, the young secretary of the Chen Dali Temple, revealed ten illegal deeds of Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou! According to the verification conducted by the ministers, Qingyunhou committed two cases of burning people's houses, two cases of forcibly robbing people's women, three cases of adultery, and three cases of assault to death! Song Cheng took out the song from his sleeve and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner.
Yes?
The officials present couldn't help but look at each other, although they all knew that Qingyun Hou was greedy, but they didn't expect that they had done so many illegal things.
The previous crimes are better, but the latter crimes can be said to be not a pity to die.
Ma Wensheng had no impression of this black-faced young man, and even said questioningly: "Do you have solid evidence, do you know what the crime of framing the imperial family is?" ”
"These ten cases are all archived in the Shuntian Mansion, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, but in view of the fact that Qingyun Hou is the emperor's family, the case has been detained! If Mr. Ma doesn't believe it, you'll find out when you check it! Song Cheng turned his head slightly stunned and glanced at Ma Wensheng, and then said seriously.
"This matter is said by Song Tan, it must be fake!"
"What is the secret of Qingyunhou's crimes, these crimes are only on the surface!"
"If you really talk about the law of the country, Qingyun Hou is really not a pity to die, I didn't expect Ma Wensheng to want to protect this kind of person!"
"Ma Wensheng's abacus is ringing? Knowing that His Majesty will not kill, this is political speculation, and he can also curry favor with the Queen Mother! ”
……
When the middle and lower-level officials of His Royal Highness heard about the development of the situation, especially many officials, they knew Song Cheng's official morality, and even made a statement.
The officials in the palace turned their heads to look at Ma Wensheng, who was also frowning at the moment, but he didn't understand what the new monarch wanted?
Zhu Youzhu saw Ma Wensheng's reaction in his eyes, and immediately said: "Ma Wensheng, your son Ma Jue once instigated the Europeans to death, and even beat several people, so he should be beheaded, but the first emperor was benevolent and lenient!" It's just that if you think that if the imperial ministers kill someone, the court will be lenient, so where is the legal principle? In the future, if you do not strictly control your children and grandchildren, I will not forgive! ”
As soon as these words came out, the officials present couldn't help but feel a chill.
Ma Wensheng's scalp tingled for a while, and he finally realized that this new monarch was not a wardrobe prince at all, but a decisive emperor.
"Your Majesty, in addition to the ten illegal acts, Qingyun Hou still has several crimes that have not been filed, so please be beheaded!" Song Cheng always had a title in his heart, and immediately officially issued his appeal.
This......
When the officials present heard Song Cheng's request, they couldn't help but look at each other.
It is said that the crimes committed by Qingyunhou should be killed, but Qingyunhou is the brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou after all, and His Majesty's uncle, how can this be killed?
Zhu Youzhu looked at the officials in the hall who didn't dare to do anything, and asked lightly: "You Aiqing also agree with Ma Wensheng's request, shouldn't I be the Marquis of Qingyun?" ”
"Please be beheaded!" Du Ming and other officials of the Criminal Department knew that it was time to take a stand, and they knelt down one after another.
This......
Ma Wensheng has always thought that he is the new leader of the Qingliu, who can command the ministers at the first order, and is the chosen son who carries the flag against the imperial power. It's just that seeing that the minister of the palace has been echoing this new monarch, I realized that I was simply a clown.
Zhu Youzhu no longer asked Ma Wensheng, and made a decision in his heart: "Where is the envoy of the general administration?" ”
"The minister is here!" Zuo Tongzheng envoy Xie Yu came out when he heard this.
Zhu Youzhu handed over all the notes in his hand to Guo Yong, and said lightly to Xie Yu: "You will compile these things today into the palace newspaper and announce it to the world!" By the way, the defense of Ma Yushi will be compiled together, so that the world can take a look at the demeanor of Master Ma! ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for the other officials to react, and then got up and left.
Zhu Youzhi is already impatient with these endless battles, and if there are any more clowns jumping out in the future, even if they have to bear the infamy of tyrants, they will be directly imprisoned and their homes will be raided.
Fighting all day long, only Wang Yue was doing things, and these courtiers were all on the corpse vegetarian meal.
"Ministers and other respectful to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Wan An saw Zhu Youzhu leaving, and immediately hurriedly led the hundred officials to kneel and send them off.
"Lord Xie, you have to do the things that Your Majesty has explained!" Guo Yong handed over the recital in his hand to Xie Yu, and said seriously.
Xie Yu is a native of Hengyang, Huguang, and today's disputes have long been seen.
Whether it is for the justice he adheres to in his heart, or out of the nostalgia for his Huguang father and fellow villagers, he has no reason to stand on Ma Wensheng's side.
Xie Yu took a few notes handed over by Guo Yong, and immediately said: "Gonggong Guo can rest assured, this official will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations, and will inform the world of what happened at today's court meeting!" ”
Burst!
When Ma Wensheng saw that he was about to inform the world of the four things he presented, he was immediately angry, and he only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
From the current point of view, the four things are sparse, one is for the first crime of greed and defense in the Ming Dynasty, the second is to remove Wang Yue, who was supported by the people of Huguang, and the fourth is to exonerate Qingyun Hou, who has done all the evil things.
He Ma Wensheng was originally a direct minister second only to Wang Shu, and if he neglected to inform the world of these four things, he would definitely be ridiculed by the people of the world, which could be said to be ruined.
Although the emperor didn't pursue him just now, but now it seems that the emperor's move is simply murderous!
"You shall not live if you have done your own iniquity!" Xu Shen, the right attendant of the household department, saw Ma Wensheng spurting blood, but he shook his head lightly.
When other officials saw Ma Wensheng's tragic situation, they did not have the slightest sympathy in their hearts, after all, it was Ma Wensheng who blamed him. This has just come back from Nanjing and is going to go against the emperor, and I don't know how to write dead words.
The hundred officials followed Wan An to retreat outside the Fengtian Gate, and saluted again, and this Shuowang Dynasty meeting officially ended.
Wan An and Liu Ji are the only two pavilion elders so far, and they are different from other officials, and the two of them entered from Zuoshun Gate together and headed in the direction of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Although the two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, they are the same year of orthodoxy for the thirteenth year, and they are under the door of the former chief auxiliary businessman, so they can be regarded as friends for many years.
Wan An was already old after all, and he thanked slowly: "Our emperor has become a god!" ”
"Motosuke, what do you mean by that?" Liu Ji walked with Wan An, but he was confused.
Wan An glanced up at the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and couldn't help but say admiringly: "This pile, one by one, everyone has done it all!" ”
"That's true, Xu Pu and Ma Wensheng probably don't dare to make trouble anymore!" Liu Ji stretched out his hand to help Wan An, nodded approvingly.
Wan An shook off Liu Ji's hand and pointed straight to the core: "Now that there is Li Min's big greed in front, who dares to argue with our Majesty again?" ”
"What officials are as clear as water, I haven't found out that all of them are clean officials, but can we afford to check them?" Liu Ji withdrew his hand in embarrassment, which was sarcastic.
Wan An's face was straight, and he said correctively: "Elder Liu Ge, what are you talking about?" The old man has ruled the country for nine years, and he is not greedy! ”
"Yuan Auxiliary Officer is as clear as water, and the lower officials admire it!" Liu Ji was slightly stunned, and then arched his hand.
Wan An found that these words were equally harsh, so he said seriously: "Don't say anything about the official is like water, the old man should respond!" It's just that you have to branch Jia Jun's stupid voice, he didn't want to die, so he hurriedly took over the camp of the S.H.I.E.L.D. camp, and when the military department arrived, he would be copied out of hundreds of thousands of taels! ”
"Yuanfu is far-sighted, and the next official will do it!" Liu Ji reacted at this time, and stopped walking.
Now that there is a big corruption case of Li Min, if these officials dare to delay the affairs of the S.H.I.E.L.D. camp, I am afraid it will be another bloody storm.
