Chapter 37: Pit death counts as one

got the marriage certificate and the deed of life and death, Wang Li laughed secretly!

The plan of "raw rice to mature rice" is half the battle!

The other half, Zhu Youzhen still needs to nod!

Of course, it's easy!

Because, in addition to the news that Cao Huachun is about to return to Beijing, Wei Zhongxian also provided another "insignificant" news!

This news is insignificant to Wei Zhongxian, but Wang Li is like a treasure!

Unexpectedly, Han Yiliang, who had nothing to do with this matter, turned out to be a god assist!

Han Yiliang, in the middle of the household department, is the official of the seventh grade!

The official position is not high, but the power is great: the low-level supervision officials who are responsible for "reporting", "supervising", and "provoking" are specially supervised by the words and deeds of senior officials!

This kind of petty official, who is not afraid of death, even the emperor dares to insult him in person!

The ministers of the DPRK and China are even more scared to death!

If you offend the official, your career will basically come to an end!

This is a major feature of the Ming Dynasty!

Perhaps affected by Qian Qianyi's fraud case,

A few days ago, this official named Han Yiliang gave Zhu Youzhen a letter of seal, denouncing the corruption of Daming's officialdom.

In the recital, Han Yiliang clearly pointed out:

The purchase price of a "governor of the governor" was six thousand taels of silver;

The beauty of a "Taoist prefect" is short, and the purchase price is three thousand taels of silver;

The purchase price of the large and small official positions of the state and county yamen is 200 to 1,000 taels of silver;

In terms of lifting people and supervising students, the selection of science and Taoist halls, etc., all have their own pricing, and all of them pay money with one hand and official hats with the other;

In the recital, Han Yiliang also used the fact that he had pushed away 500 taels of "communication fees" within two months, proving that the corruption of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom had reached a shocking point.

This recital, with its conclusive words, completely subverts Zhu Youzhen's cognition!

As a result, Han Yiliang was quickly promoted to the right to the imperial history, and he was the fourth product!

This Han Yiliang was originally not afraid of death, and he was a qualified official!

However, even Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that after this guy was promoted, he would be afraid of death immediately!

When Zhu Youzhen asked "who are the corrupt elements", Han Yiliang made an excuse:

"Your Majesty, the word "wind news" is written on Weichen's recital! Who is involved in buying and selling officials, Weichen really doesn't know! ”

Such an answer, Lei Dezhu is scorched and tender outside!

If you look closely, there is indeed the word "wind news" on the book!

At this point, Zhu Youzhen can only sigh that he really has no eyes!

What else can you do but sigh?

However, Zhu Youzhen still did not give up, and asked: "Who gave you the five hundred taels of silver that you pushed off in your book?" ”

In Zhu Youzhen's view, if this person can be found and he can find out a large number of corrupt officials.

Unexpectedly, Han Yiliang was still secretive and flickering!

Zhu Youzhen continued to ask, this guy was already answering the wrong question, and he was sweating!

At this point, Zhu Youzhen finally understood: Han Yiming didn't dare to say it, which just shows that the phenomenon of official selling officials in the Ming Dynasty does exist!

Moreover, it is already quite serious!

The officials of the four grades did not dare to say what a horror this was!

Zhu Youzhen was angry, and Wang Li came to the Qianqing Palace.

"Long live Lord, the little slave hopes to find out more corrupt officials according to your will, but ......"

Wang Li wanted to speak and stopped, and Zhu Youzhen became more angry: "If you have something to say, speak directly!" If you don't dare to say it, who dares to say it? ”

"Long live Lord, Qian Qianyi's mouth is really tight! The little slave tried his best, but he still found nothing! ”

"Tight? How tight can it be? Zhu Youzhen was angry and slammed the table: "Can't the edict of Xichang let him speak?" ”

"Long live the lord, after all, Qian Qianyi is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the little slave didn't dare to be punished! But...... The little slave once threatened with "palace punishment", but this guy still refuses to confess! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Li handed over the marriage letter and the life and death contract signed by Qian Qianyi: "Long live Lord, you see, he would rather be a eunuch than recruit more officials!"

He also said...... Even if the marriage certificate is read in public in the main hall, and the life and death contract is read in public, no one else will be confessed! ”

Wang Li's words are not like lying.

In his hand, it is the marriage book and the life and death contract transcribed by Qian Qianyi himself!

At this time, Zhu Youzhen had already gritted his teeth!

"There was a Han Yiming first, and now there is a Qian Qianyi!

What happened to my Ming court?

Since he refuses to recruit, since he wants to be a eunuch, I will fulfill him!

Wang Chengen, hit the bell, gather the ministers!

You, bring Qian Qianyi immediately!

……

When Wang Li came, it was close to the early dynasty!

succeeded in infuriating Zhu Youzhen, and the whole plan was basically successful!

At this time, Qian Qianyi had already changed into an official uniform and was waiting to go to court!

"Lord Qian, long live the Lord's message, please go to the palace immediately!"

"Factory father, you really didn't deceive me, hehe!

By the way, the father-in-law who interceded for me was Cao Huachun? ”

"Who helped you, you don't know?

Long live the Lord, besides him, who else will speak for you? Who else would dare to speak for you? ”

"Yes, yes, yes......"

"You know, you are a capital offense! Long live the Lord can spare you, it's all up to that father-in-law to help you intercede!

Hooray is hard to do, you know? ”

"Know, know ......"

"Know a fart!" Wang Li suddenly scolded, and Qian Qianyi was stunned again: "Factory father, what do you mean ......?"

"Long live the Lord specially confessed, this scene must be done enough to deter hundreds of officials!

When you get to the main hall later, no matter what the Lord Banzai asks you, you have to say "I don't know", understand? ”

"Factory father, lower official...... Still don't understand ......"

"I'll go! You're so stupid, no wonder you have to spend money on the champion! No wonder you spent the money to buy the champion, but only bought a jinshi! ”

Along the way, Wang Li spent a lot of words, and Qian Qianyi finally understood the "truth"!

……

At today's court meeting, Zhu Youzhen had a straight face as soon as he came in, and the ministers did not know the reason and did not speak rashly.

Qian Qianyi walked into the hall, but he was wearing a neat official uniform!

This scene made Zhu Youzhen even more angry!

"Qian Qianyi! I'll ask you one last time!

In the fraud case of the Zhejiang Township Test, who did you share the two thousand taels of silver that Qian Qianqiu handed over to you?

In the 38th year of Wanli, you and Han Jing bribed a total of 70,000 taels of silver, who was the bribe-taker? Who are the conspirators? ”

Zhu Youzhen's question, Qian Qianyi already knew: because before going to the palace, Wang Li "ventilated" with him!

So, he calmly replied according to what Wang Li had taught him.

"Your Majesty, the criminal minister has clearly told the prince in the edict prison of Xichang: There are too many people involved in these two things, and the criminal minister really dare not say it!"

Such an answer made Zhu Youzhen so angry that he blew his beard and glared, which was expected by Qian Qianyi!

As a result, he was even more convinced of Wang Li's words!

Indeed, whether you recruit or not, both cases are conclusive, capital crimes!

With the plea of "that father-in-law", Zhu Youzhen agreed to pardon himself, but he had to gag the mouths of the ministers, which was really difficult.

Therefore, in the main hall, he was righteous and awe-inspiring, and resolutely refused to confess to many officials behind the scenes, so as to provoke Zhu Youzhen, and then give a "palace punishment" or "beheading", these are all acting!

"Good for you, Qian Qianyi! It is said that you would rather be tortured by the palace than confess? ”

I'll go!

This kind of questioning is exactly the same as Wang Ergou's rehearsal in advance!

It seems that the energy of "that father-in-law" is not small!

"Your Majesty, the corruption of officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty is by no means as simple as you imagined! It's not something that can be solved by catching a few corrupt officials!

That's all the sinners can say!

Whether it is "palace punishment" or "beheading", listen to it! ”

"Good! Very good! Since you are obsessed, I will fulfill you! Come! Drag it out! Put him in the palace first! Cut after the fall! ”

Ha!

In this way, it is exactly the same as Wang Ergou's drill in advance!

So, Qian Qianyi continued to behave rather than give in according to the previous drill:

"The whole world is turbid, I am alone, everyone is drunk, I am sober! Let the storm come harder! Hahaha! ”

In the laughter, Qian Qianyi was escorted out of the hall by the guards, and the ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy, relying on himself as the head of the Donglin Party, is so arrogant!

Even the many Donglin parties in the palace did not dare to intercede for him!

On the contrary, Wang Li opened his mouth.

"Long live the lord, the little slave thinks that there must be a secret in this matter! The little slave still wants to give it a try and see if he can get him to speak! If he is still obsessed, it is not too late to be executed! ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately exploded!

"Your Majesty, Qian Qianyi is guilty of two capital crimes, even if he recruits an accomplice, he is still unforgivable!"

"Your Majesty, Qian Qianyi dares to "the whole world is turbid, I am alone" in the main hall, this is a blatant insult to the emperor! According to the opinion of the lower officials, they should be beheaded immediately! ”

"Your Majesty! Qian Qianyi said, "Let the storm come more violently", obviously despising the emperor! Sin is unforgivable! It should be killed immediately! ”

"No more talk! Just do what Wang Changgong said! ”

Zhu Youzhen stood up suddenly, glared angrily at the ministers in the palace, and scolded him with a slap in the face:

"You all wish he was dead, huh!

I'm afraid he won't be able to stand the edict and confess to you, right?

He's right, the whole world is turbid, I'm the only one!

You are all "clear"!

Only I am "turbid"!

Only I was kept in the dark!

Are you all satisfied?

He wants a storm, and I give it to him!

Hum! ”

In the midst of the angry reprimand, Zhu Youzhen walked away.

At this moment, in addition to Wang Li, the happiest are Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru!

In fact, Wen Tiren quickly asked Cao Huachun for help, which has a deep meaning!

Since Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne, Wei Zhongxian gradually controlled the government, and the Donglin Party could only swallow their anger!

After Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, although the eunuch party has not been eradicated, at least, the Donglin party members have a chance to speak out!

Even, many people still think that Zhu Youzhen will definitely get rid of Wei Zhongxian!

In Wen Tiren's view, even if Wei Zhongxian is eliminated, it is still difficult for him, a "non-partisan", to have a chance to get ahead!

Even if you enter the cabinet, you will be suppressed by the Donglin Party!

At present, many Donglin Party members are ready to move, trying to rescue Qian Qianyi; Asking Cao Huachun for help is actually killing two birds with one stone!

If the rescue is successful, and he secretly fanned the flames, Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, will become a proper member of the Eunuch Party!

Even if the rescue fails, at least it shows its attitude: although he is not a member of the Donglin Party, he is in the same breath as the Donglin Party!

What Wen Tiren didn't expect was that the leader of the Donglin Party was really extraordinary!

I'd rather suffer a palace punishment, I'd rather be beheaded than confess my accomplices!

What a terrible opponent this is!

Such a person must not stay!

Back at the West Factory, Qian Qianyi was preparing to change his clothes and return to his hometown, but he was tied up by five flowers!

"Factory father, factory father, what are you doing here?"

"What else can you do?" Wang Li smiled coldly: "Your marriage certificate and life and death contract were approved by Long Live Lord himself!"

Of all the eunuchs throughout the ages, you are the only one, the luckiest one!

Still, you have one last chance!

The factory only asks once: Where is the silver hidden? ”
