Chapter 191: He is the person I recognize in this life
Liang Yinqiu said sarcastically: "What Weichen wrote in this chapter is just a few things, and it just makes you jump off the wall in a hurry, is it possible that you also have a lot of unknown things like Zeng Yu?" ”
These words directly made everyone in the court dare to be angry and dare not speak, and they all went cowardly.
Zhang Ge Lao's face was darker than the ash of the pot, "In that case, what evidence is there for what is said in the recital?" ”
"Nature."
Then, Liang Yinqiu clapped his palms, and several boxes of wooden boxes were brought up outside the door of the solemn and solemn hall at this time, and the courtiers gave way one by one.
There was a lot of discussion in the court.
"What is this?"
"Is this the evidence that Zeng Yu formed a party for personal gain?"
"The box looked very heavy, not like some letters, but like gold and silver jewelry."
The officials who had been involved in the matter could not help but sweat on their foreheads, and they were like ants on a hot pot in a hurry.
Now, Meng Qing's appearance directly caught them off guard.
In a high position, she was calm and relaxed, calmly and indifferently watching the expressions of every official under the court.
Just by looking at them, you can tell who they are involved and who are not.
She said in a calm tone, "Open it up, let everyone Aiqing see if Zeng Yu should go to prison or not." ”
"Yes."
The eunuchs below stepped forward to open the lock, and the moment they lifted the lid of the wooden box, everyone's eyes were busy showing a look of consternation.
Boxes of gold, as well as boxes of letters, precious treasures, after a cursory glance, you should know that Zeng Yu's crime is not worth any corruption, and forming a party for personal gain.
Liang Yinqiu walked in all directions and calmly stepped forward to take out a stack of letters, flipped through them casually, and said: "These are the details of Zeng Yu's correspondence with officials in various states and counties and the details of his bribes. ”
"What ......"
"Zeng Shangshu actually maintained close contact with officials in various states and counties?"
He handed the stack of letters to the eunuch beside him, bent down and took out a stack of letters, and said: "These are the letters exchanged between Zeng Yu and the officials in the court, the most important of which is the correspondence with Xiao Yan, the emperor of the current dynasty. ”
"Emperor Xiao? He couldn't ...... anything."
"It's embarrassing......"
Everyone knows the relationship between Meng Qing and Xiao Yan, but now that Xiao Yan is on his way to Youzhou, Meng Qing is doing this, which is clearly to put him to death.
It can be seen that everything in the past was a scene play.
In the final analysis, it is still a companion to the king like a tiger, who dares to challenge the majesty of an emperor?
Liang Yinqiu continued: "There is no need to say more about the rest of the letters, with the major merchants in Beijing, and the palace maids and eunuchs at all levels in the palace, it seems that none of them can escape now. ”
Zhang Ge retreated again and again, he couldn't believe that Zeng Yu, who had always prided himself on being a clean stream, was also a hypocrite who was greedy for fame and profit, and Xiao Yan, the leader of the Hanmen who was the head of the clear stream in the court, was a villain who was in the same stream as Zeng Yu.
At this moment, all the clear streams and scholars have become laughing stocks.
And only the old nobles who stayed out of the matter in the DPRK and China wanted to gloat.
The courtiers represented by Gu Huai'an knelt down and shouted together: "Please ask the emperor to severely punish Zeng Yu and his henchmen in accordance with the laws of the Chu State." ”
"Please ask the emperor to severely punish Zeng Yu and his henchmen."
A few officials who had ghosts in their hearts knelt down when they saw the surrounding people brushing and brushing, and after a moment of sluggishness, they could only follow and kneel helplessly and fearfully.
"Please ask the emperor to severely punish Zeng Yu and his henchmen."
The corners of Meng Qing's lips were half raised, and when he saw the courtiers asking for his life below, his condescending posture made people feel surrendered.
She schemed: "Zeng Yu has been an official for many years, and he has been practicing favoritism and irregularities in private, excluding dissidents, and having close contacts with officials in various places, which has led to a corrupt atmosphere in the DPRK and China, and there is no clean and honest atmosphere. I am going to purge the court here today, and all the people mentioned in the letter will be handed over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a detailed investigation, and no clues will be missed. ”
Officials at all levels of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were ordered to kowtow and said in unison.
"Weichen will live up to the emperor's trust, investigate this case, clean up the officialdom, and severely punish those who are corrupt and take bribes."
It seems that in the future, there will be many new people in the DPRK and China.
It's just that purging officialdom is not an overnight thing, and I'm afraid it will hit a wall one after another.
However, as long as Xiao Yan's power in Yujing can be eradicated, she is not afraid of the price and what the consequences will be.
After the next court, Gu Huai'an followed.
Meng Qing didn't take a sedan chair, and walked slowly on the washed-out road, and the palace people behind him were ten steps away from them.
Gu Huai'an put his hands in his sleeves, his face was calm and calm, his red robe was added, his eyebrows and eyes were solemn and upright, and he became more and more determined.
"Zeng Yu's matter, does the emperor really want to find out those officials in the court and send them to prison?"
She hung her head slightly, looked at the palace people who were sweeping on the road, and said, "Isn't my determination clear enough?" ”
With this rhetorical question, she asked Gu Huai'an to stop.
"If that's the case, why don't you say what to do with Xiao Yan? After all, he is the real master behind Zeng Yu! ”
Meng Qing also stopped, staring at Gu Huai'an with a pair of affectionate willow eyes, "Cousin, don't you still know what I think in my heart?" Xiao Yan is no one else, he is the person I recognize in this life. ”
Gu Huai'an frowned and twisted into a "Sichuan" character.
"But he's not a good guy. As the emperor, you should know a saying, 'The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people', do you know how many officials will lose their last confidence in you by conniving and shielding and doing favoritism! ”
"I don't care."
Gu Huai'an was suspicious.
"Don't care? You're the Emperor! How can you not care? ”
There was a faint hint of a calm and unhurried wry smile on the girl's peachy face.
"I was born in heaven and earth, and I will return myself to heaven and earth. The emperor or something, it's just an empty dream, and when you wake up, it's gone. ”
"Dreams?"
Gu Huai'an couldn't see through her heart more and more.
The Gu family finally waited for the emperor who was bleeding Gu blood, but now she told him that she was relieved?!
How can they, the once-prosperous Gu family, gain a foothold in the court again? Do you want to watch Meng Qing fall and the Gu clan fall into the Chu State?
Gu Huai'an couldn't accept it.
The Gu family had already passed that low period when his father died, and now he will return to his former appearance, and his painstaking management over the years has finally turned the bamboo basket into a vain void!
"Then you have thought about it, how to retire?"
Meng Qing had always been unguarded against him in his heart, and said: "Set up another crown prince and hand over the throne to the descendants of the Meng family." ”
"Prince? The person the emperor wants to set up is Meng Zhiyan? ”
She shook her head, "Brother Zhiyan, he's not suitable for this position. ”
