Chapter Eighty-Seven: Impeachment of Hu Zongxian?
The capital, Yuwang's Mansion.
"What does this Hu Zongxian want to do!"
In the study, after reading the detailed information sent by his subordinates, Xu Jie didn't control his emotions and was furious! When he was angry, he also broke a vase.
In the final analysis, these coastal smuggling families are nothing more than the white gloves of high-ranking officials and nobles! And every year Xu Jie's family will get a lot of benefits from it.
Xu Jie is a native of Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, and Xu Jie's family occupies almost half of the fertile land in Songjiang Prefecture, so it is also known as Xu Bancheng! It is said that the Xu family also has more than 5,000 looms, and there are countless textile workers working for the Xu family.
Coupled with the protection fees paid by those coastal smuggling families to the Xu family on a regular basis, it is not too much to describe the Xu family as rich and rival the country.
Right now, Hu Zongxian sent troops to kill most of those smuggling families, which harmed the fundamental interests of Xu Jie and the family behind him, so he couldn't control his emotions and lost his temper.
"Elder Xu Ge is at ease, don't be too impatient." Seeing this, Gao Gong hurriedly comforted him.
"Yes, Elder Xu Ge, taking care of your body is the most important thing! There's no need to be angry about this kind of thing. Zhang Ju on the side was after the high arch, and he also followed to comfort.
And Zhu Zaikun looked at the vase that was broken by Xu Jie's face with a painful face, and also comforted him.
"No, you don't need to persuade me, I must ask His Majesty for a copy!" After Xu Jie finished speaking, he angrily pushed the door and left.
Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts: "Bad thing." ”
Just when the two wanted to catch up with Xu Jie's footsteps and persuade him not to go to the book, Xu Jie's figure was gone.
Soon, Xu Jie's impeachment of Hu Zongxian went through the process and came to the celebrant supervisor.
"Grandpa Lu, what should I do? This is the performance of the cabinet deputy Xu Jie! Shall we stop it as before? ”
Seeing this, the eunuch Shi Gonggong couldn't make up his mind for a while, and hurriedly asked Lu Fang.
"Alas, this is the performance of Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, so let's stop it! According to the process, it will be presented to His Majesty later. Lu Fang sighed and responded.
"Then according to what Grandpa Lu said." When Gonggong Shi saw Lu Fang speak, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to correct with a red pen.
At this time, Zhao Zhenji, the superintendent of the imperial history, looked at the impeachment recitals that came one after another, and he also had a headache.
Unlike the previous impeachment of Gao Hanwen, the target of this impeachment is Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang! While Hu Zongxian was favored by the emperor, he was also a student of Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, and had the power to directly present the face to His Majesty!
Therefore, Zhao Zhenji couldn't understand why these high-ranking officials and nobles kept playing the impeachment of Hu Zongxian as if they were crazy, and provoked such an extremely powerful enemy for themselves.
"My lord, this is a new batch of songs." Just as Zhao Zhenji was thinking hard about the possible reasons behind it, the voice of the little official interrupted his train of thought.
"Well, let's put it over there." Zhao Zhenji said, pointing to the corner of the place, in recent days, the impeachment of Hu Zongxian has been randomly piled up there.
"My lord, are we ......" Seeing this, the subordinates on the side wanted to open their mouths to persuade them.
"It's your mother's head! Get out of here! Zhao Zhenji was furious, and then picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on the head of the subordinate who had just spoken.
only heard a crisp sound of 'bang', and the teacup then fell to the ground, and the previous subordinate, where the teacup was hit, was bleeding in an instant, and he didn't dare to cover it with his hands, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Zhao Zhenji.
"Get out of here, I don't want to see you now." Zhao Zhenji didn't look at him, but stretched out his right index finger and pointed out the door.
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! After the man had finished speaking, he went out in fear, and blood dripped all over the ground.
The rest of the people in the room were all shocked by Zhao Zhenji's momentum, and after a short period of stagnation, they all looked at each other, and at the same time paid more attention to the work in hand, so as not to anger Lord Yushi.
And the reason why Zhao Zhenji was angry was because before this, Lu Fang, Yan Song, and others had all greeted him, and they couldn't press down on the impeachment of Hu Zongxian!
One is the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and is the most trusted person of His Majesty, and the other is the head of the cabinet who has been in charge of the government and the opposition for more than 20 years! Unless Zhao Zhenji doesn't want to live, otherwise, he is absolutely unwilling to offend these two at the same time.
Fang Cai's subordinates were suggesting that he deal with these twists and turns about the impeachment of Hu Zongxian as soon as possible, which was clearly to push Zhao Zhenji into the fire pit, which is why Zhao Zhenji was so angry.
And at that moment, Zhao Zhenji even had the urge to cut this person with a thousand knives!
……
The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
Jiajing looked at the recital handed over by Lu Fang, raised his eyebrows, and said suspiciously: "This is the recital to impeach Hu Zongxian, what are you giving it to me for?" ”
"Your Majesty, the slave maid was not willing to hand it over to His Majesty, but this letter was handed over by Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, and the slave maid did not dare, so she ......" Lu Fang said, hurriedly kneeling on the ground, his words full of guilt.
"Alright, get up! I'm just asking you a few words, not to punish you. Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang angrily and spoke.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, she hurriedly got up in fear and stood beside Jiajing very respectfully and waited.
After Jiajing said that, he opened the recital submitted by Xu Jie, and after roughly browsing the content on it, he handed it back to Lu Fang.
"I've been unwell lately, my eyes are blurry, and I can't see the words on it clearly, so you can take this letter down." Jiajing covered his forehead with his right hand and said lightly.
"Obey Your Majesty's orders, the slave maid will take down this note, and please take care of your body, don't work too hard!" Lu Fang said that, then took over Xu Jie's impeachment of Hu Zongxian, turned around and left.
After Lu Fang left, Jiajing sat alone on the dragon chair, rubbing the dragon heads carved on both sides with his hands, and silently said to himself: "Xu Jie, Xu Jie, I hope you can be more interesting!" ”
……
Night, Zhejiang, Zhezhi Governor's Palace.
"That's pretty much the way to do it this time, do you have any objections?" Hu Zongxian turned his gaze to Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Tan Lun, and asked softly.
"Your Excellency the Governor, is the strategy of this extermination too steady? The last general felt that according to the current balance of strength, it was entirely possible to adopt some more radical strategies. After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, Qi Jiguang followed up and asked, his face full of puzzlement.
"The lion catches the rabbit, and he uses all his strength! The reason why this officer marched like this was to eliminate the living force of the Japanese to the greatest extent, and in addition, the official also asked the military department to send a naval division to come and seal the retreat of this group of Japanese bandits. ”
"Do you have any objections?" After Hu Zongxian finished explaining, he turned to the others and continued to ask.
"Your Excellency, I agree with this strategy."
"I agree!"
"Then since everyone has no objections, then act according to this strategy, you go down first to familiarize yourself with your soldiers, and after the follow-up money, food, ordnance, and armor are in place, then act, and you must completely exterminate this group of Japanese robbers entrenched in Fujian!" Hu Zongxian commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes, Lord Governor!" And when they received the commandment, they prepared to depart.
"Oh, by the way, General Qi stays, and this official still has some things to discuss with you."
"The last general obeys!"
