Chapter 65: Impeachment
What can be done next?
Zhu Gaoxuan didn't ask.
He is really very clean, but on Zhu Di's desk, he has been impeached again.
In the eighteenth year of Yongle, August 16, Yingtianfu, the Imperial Palace, and the Great Dynasty Meeting.
Zhu Di listened to the civil and military officials who kept coming out to impeach Zhu Gaoxuan, and his brows jumped.
"Your Majesty, King Liang privately made his own salt, sold salt privately, and sold high-grade sweet potato seedlings to the Northern Yuan, which is a major crime against the enemy, and it is a conspiracy!
Be punished! ”
Hubu Shangshu Yuxin played with a strong voice, and then bowed to the end with a resolute attitude.
"Your Majesty, due to the help of His Royal Highness King Liang's salt, the Northern Yuan Dynasty has begun to prepare to go south again, and I hope Your Majesty will make a decision early."
Qi Tai, the left attendant of the military department, also stood up immediately, he didn't say anything about King Liang's crime, but the fault of the Northern Yuan and the south was King Liang's fault.
"Your Majesty, King Liang has set up a private torture hall in Lantian and even Xi'an Mansion to kill the people and cause resentment among the people, please also ask Your Majesty to investigate."
Supervising Yushi Huang Ming also stood up, but when he said this, his eyes were a little fluttering.
Then there were 12 civil officials and three generals who stood up to impeach Zhu Gaoxuan.
Zhu Di almost laughed angrily.
If it was before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he didn't know the truth, and he might still be angry at Zhu Gaoxuan for not doing anything, but two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, on August 13, Jin Yiwei commanded Ji Gang just returned from Xi'an Mansion.
At the same time, it also brought back what Zhu Gaoxuan did in Shaanxi and Lantian, as well as the real reactions of the people and military households.
When the smallpox plague broke out in Xi'an Prefecture, Zhu Di not only sent the Tai Hospital to pay the school ceremony, but also sent his close confidant Ji Gang out.
It's just that Ji Gang disguised his identity, Zhu Gaoxuan and the others didn't find out, and Ji Gang, who finally turned around, disguised himself as a soldier of Liangwang's Mansion again, and took advantage of the opportunity for Zhang Jun to come back to deliver the letter.
Compared with Zhu Gaoxuan's letters and folds, Zhu Di believes in Ji Gang's words more.
It was also because of this that he learned about the real Shaanxi and the real Zhu Gaoxuan.
Only now will I be angry and bruised.
After all the impeached officials finished speaking, Zhu Di's emotions also calmed down.
I only heard him say lightly: "Is there anyone else who wants to impeach the eighth child?" Let's come out together. Let's deal with it together. ”
Hearing Zhu Di's calm voice, all the old ministers in the court were suddenly in their hearts, this was the prelude to Zhu Di's murder.
There was no sound for a while, and a few officials who were still carrying a twist and turn looked around and saw that no one dared to come forward, and they all bowed their heads carefully.
"Your Majesty, King Liang may be messing around, but he shouldn't mess around to the enemy Beiyuan, I'm afraid that there is something else hidden, please think twice."
Among the generals, Tan Yuan saw that no one came out to intercede for Zhu Gaoxuan, so he could only stand up and say a word.
Xu Da went to Beiping to lead the military affairs of Liaodong, and before leaving, he asked him to be in the court for Zhu Gaoxuan.
"Your Majesty, according to Weichen's investigation, the person who sold salt to Mobei was the grandson of Shen Wansan at that time, and Shen Xuepeng, the son of the Shen family, not His Royal Highness King Liang."
The supreme governor of the Inspectorate, Zuo Du Yu Zhang Zhihe, unexpectedly stood up to confront Huang Mingda, the superintendent of the Imperial History, and exonerated Zhu Gaoxuan.
This made Zhu Di look at him twice.
Except for the two of them, no one else came out to speak for Zhu Gaoxuan, but no one else came out again.
Seeing that no one else spoke, Zhu Di picked among the bunch of compromises in front of the dragon chair.
"Ma He, show them these folds."
The old eunuch Ma He sent exactly twenty copies of the recital to the officials below.
"Shhh...... And so it was! There is a smallpox plague! His Royal Highness King Liang actually cured smallpox! ”
Tan Yuan is a general, the first to get the fold, and the first to exclaim.
Born in the Yuan Dynasty, he knew the horror of smallpox better than anyone present, and he had relatives and elders who died of smallpox.
At that moment, he carefully read Zhu Gaoxuan's methods on the prevention and treatment of smallpox and cowpox, and he wished that he could save his loved ones by getting this method decades earlier.
Under the strange eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Tan Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears, and finally couldn't help crying bitterly, and shouted: "King Liang was born at the wrong time, born at the wrong time!" ”
"I see, I see, I am, I can still do this."
Then Zhang Zhihe also exclaimed, and in his hand was a plan and analysis of Zhu Gaoxuan exchanging expensive sweet potato seedlings for Beiyuan cattle and sheep, and even horses.
"His Royal Highness King Liang's clever plan, no matter how much salt you have, you can only eat so much, but as long as a large amount of cattle, sheep and horses from the Northern Yuan are exchanged for the Ming Dynasty, it can not only enrich the granary of the Ming Dynasty, but also reduce the national strength of the Northern Yuan.
There are not enough cattle and sheep to feed on, and even if they want to go south, they are powerless. ”
Although Zhang Zhihe is not from the Ministry of War, he can also understand Zhu Gaoxuan's plan in simple terms, and exclaimed again and again: Wonderful!
Qi Tai, the left attendant of the military department, looked at the confession in his hand about Nalan Sumin and the others about them crossing Helan Mountain and throwing the plague, and in the cold late autumn, he was already in a cold sweat.
Such important information, their military department did not have it, or someone in the military department received the report, but no one submitted it to him, and he is really sad now.
He suspected that someone was deliberately trying to trap him!
"Your Majesty, the minister is dead!"
He didn't make any excuses, he struggled at all, he just fell to his knees, and his head fell deeply to plead guilty.
Hubu Shangshu Yuxin looked at the speculation in his hand about the use of large plough rakes, as well as the combined use of a variety of farm tools, and kept calculating in his mind that if these farm tools were true, how much would the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty increase?
At least five times as much!
His initial prediction is that if all these agricultural tools are rolled out and promoted, it will not be a problem to improve the production efficiency of failure.
As for sweet potato seedlings?
Seeing this twist, the sweet potato seedlings were expected to be insignificant in his heart.
"Bang...... The minister is guilty! But I still have to ask Your Majesty to strictly investigate what Liang Wang Zi did in Lantian. ”
Without waiting for Yu Xin to admit his mistake, Huang Ming, the superintendent of Yushi, knelt first, but he knelt more ironily, and was still asking Zhu Di to check Zhu Gaoxuan.
"Huh...... After you read the recital, exchange it with each other, and the other Aiqing take a look at this family letter. ”
The impeached officials had a lot of thoughts in their hearts, tremblingly exchanging the memoranda they had read in their hands with the people around them, and at the same time thinking about how to refute these recitals.
Zhu Di took out an envelope from his sleeve and asked Ma He to pass it on.
[Everything is fine, don't read it, Dad. 】
Together with the punctuation marks, there are ten words in total.
This is a letter from home, Ma He did not hand it over to the ministers, but it was unfolded, displayed in front of the ministers and returned to Zhu Di.
He was very obedient, and when he saw Zhu Di carrying this letter with him, he attached great importance to this letter.
Zhu Di, who folded the letter, picked out a few more books, waved his hand, and let Ma He pass it on.
"This ...... How is this possible? ”
"King Liang, this is a near-death life!"
