Zhu Qiyu smiled: "What do you think of Aiqing? ”

What do you think? They looked at each other.

Yesterday, Zhu Qiyu hosted a banquet for Wei Ji and several imperial relatives, and everyone present had already received the news.

Even what was talked about in the banquet, everyone knew it.

Now Wei Ji is obviously singing and harmonizing with the emperor, so what else can everyone think.

In fact, today's card is already clear, that is, it is to compete around the old things after Jiaozhi, Sanyang, and the abolition.

The reason is clear, and then it depends on the position.

People who have already stood on Zhu Qiyu's side: Wei Ji, Wang Wen, Luo Tong, Jiang Yuan, Zhou Chen, He Wenyuan, Xu Youzhen, Huang Pu, He Yi.

Zhu Qizhen's side: Yu Shiyue, Zou Gan, Shi Pu.

Unclear position: Chen Xun, Yu Qian, Shen Yi, Kou Shen, Xiao Weizhen, Xue Xuan.

If the important ministers with unclear positions finally choose Zhu Qizhen, then the two sides are evenly matched.

But the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Regarding Wei Ji's proposal to give Huang Fu and Chen Qia official gifts and posthumous advice, Shen Yi, the head of the household department, was the first to stand up and second, and Xue Xuan was the second to express his support.

Shen Yi wanted to finish supporting early, and hurried back to the household department to work. What do you do? Count the money, count the silver. The emperor snatched back a large amount of wealth from Warat, and the household department has not yet figured it out.

The previous head of the household department, Chen Xun, was busy and could not concentrate on the affairs of the household department. Liu Zhongshi, another household secretary, was far away in Datong and could not return to the capital.

Now that the household department has Shen Yi, an experienced, shrewd and capable full-time scholar, the efficiency of action is to be raised.

As for Xue Xuan, it was Zhu Qiyu who ordered Wei Guogong to bring some available talents over by the way when he entered Beijing. Then Wei Guogong brought Xue Xuan, the secretary of the Dali Temple in Nanjing.

Xue Xuan is not only a Confucian who has studied Cheng Zhu Lixue, but also a stubborn old man who enforces the law strictly.

was once framed to death because he refused to attach himself to Wang Zhen, and was only rescued by the courtiers on the day of the execution.

Regarding Jiaozhi, Sanyang, and the old things after the abolition, although he has not been in contact with today's son, Xue Xuan is willing to stand on the side of mastering morality.

With Shen Yi and Xue Xuan taking the lead, the emperor's cronies also expressed their support.

As soon as it opened, the momentum of the emperor's side overwhelmed the emperor's side.

Zhu Qiyu smiled at Chen Xun, Yu Shiyue, Zou Gan and others: "The three of you are all scholars of the Ministry of Rites, what do you say?" ”

Chen Xun, Yu Shiyue, and Zou Gan had to be forced to express their support.

At that time, Xuanzong and Sanyang both hated Huang Fu deeply, so the traitor finally succeeded, and after Huang Fu's death, there was neither an official gift nor a posthumous remonstrance, and the posthumous affairs were extremely undignified.

Now the situation is reversed, Zhu Qiyu is bent on liquidating Sanyang, if anyone speaks for Sanyang, he won't have to go home when he leaves the Qi Palace, and he will go directly to Jinyiwei Prison to report for duty.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "Come, next, let's discuss whether Jiaozhi is Han soil or not. Yu Aiqing, you are Sanyang's protégé, let's talk about it first. ”

Yu Qian immediately replied: "Your Majesty, there is no doubt that Jiaozhi is a Han land. ”

Yu Qian also wanted to open it, and everyone present, except for the emperor, was all well-educated. Who hasn't read the "Book of Han" and "Book of the Later Han", and said that Jiaozhi is not Han soil, is it interesting?

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask: "I have won the righteousness of the country in the Ming Dynasty, all because Taizu drove out Hu Lu and restored my Han family. I said that the Ming Emperor was the Son of Han Dynasty, is there a problem? ”

Yu Qian continued to reply: "There is no problem. ”

The three Yangs instigated the Han Emperor to give up the Han land, and then they were not ashamed, but proud. These villains are still complacent because they have lost a state of land, they are really shameless people in the first place, I say that they are traitors to the country, is there a problem? ”

At this point, Yu Qian stopped talking.

Zhu Qiyu quietly leaned on the soft couch, waiting for someone to stand up and raise the bar. Anyway, Sanyang colluded with Warat, smuggled and betrayed the country, and the human and material evidence were all there, and the case could already be decided.

At this time, if anyone dares to raise the bar and wants to clear Sanyang's name, they will catch one by one, and no one will be able to escape.

So Yu Qian stopped talking, and Yu Shiyue, Zou Gan, and Shi Pu didn't speak either.

Everyone knew in their hearts that once they started debating with the emperor, they would be in a trap.

As long as you argue, you will lose.

Because those who are willing to defend Sanyang must have lost their conscience.

The dirty things that Sanyang did couldn't be washed away at all, and it was all because Xuanmiao and Empress Dowager Sun relied on their authority to support him, and they were able to be safe and sound all these years.

Next, Zhu Qiyu raised the most critical question: "In addition to colluding with Warat and colluding with the loyal Li family, Sanyang also has a crime, that is, colluding with the inner court, bewitching the Xuan Temple, conspiring to abolish the queen, and killing the mother of the country." ”

Zou Gan asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, is there conclusive evidence for this matter?" ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "There is no conclusive evidence, even if the conspiracy is abolished, it is impossible for either Sanyang or the inner court to tell me their plans."

But the queen mother can't be deposed out of thin air, right? Can the throne of the queen disappear into thin air? Someone must be the traitor who bewitched Xuanmiao, right?

Then please tell Zou Aiqing who that traitor is? Or does Zou Aiqing think that my mother should be deposed, is she guilty of it?

The widow wants to ask Zou Aiqing, what crime did my mother commit? ”

Of course, Zou Gan didn't dare to say that Empress Hu deserved to be deposed, as soon as he said this, the three clans didn't want to see the sun rise tomorrow.

But Zou Gan still found a loophole in the emperor's words: "Empress Zhen should naturally not be deposed, naturally there are traitors who bewitched Xuanmiao."

It's just that this traitor may not be Sanyang, and I ask Your Majesty to send the three law divisions to find out the cause and effect before they can be convicted. ”

Everyone present knew that the mastermind of the abolition was Xuanzong himself, but no one dared to say this. can only be said to be a traitor according to the emperor's wishes.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Zou Aiqing's words are reasonable, just according to what Aiqing said." The cabinet drafted a decree, posthumously crowned Huang Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, as the Taibao, and gave Wenxiang.

Posthumously sealed Chen Qia, the secretary of the late military department, as the Taibao, and gave Wenzhong.

At that time, Jiaozhi guarded the eunuch Ma Qi, Yi three clans, and confiscated family property.

The three legal divisions are responsible for the trial, and they must verify the traitors who bewitched the Xuanmiao after the abolition. ”

The emperor's reaction surprised Zou Gan and others, and everyone thought that the emperor would rely on his authority to forcibly convict Sanyang of colluding with the inner court and conspiring to abolish the queen.

I didn't expect the emperor to have the three law divisions to investigate, which made people a little confused.

Zhu Qiyu added: "I have already asked people to raid Sanyang's house. Let's just wait and see how 'honest and honest' the three Zaifu are, and see if it is consistent with what is recorded in the actual record. ”

No one spoke now, like the emperor's sudden attack on the family, Sanyang's family couldn't resist.

At that time, Yang Shiqi's son Yang Ji violently murdered and abused the township, and was arrested by Emperor Gong Rang in the capital and imprisoned, and finally killed for no apparent reason.

peeping at the leopard in the tube, you can know from this who Yang Shiqi is and who the Yang family is.

Everyone's hearts are like mirrors.

If it weren't for the emperor who involved Sanyang and the Queen Mother this time, everyone would really be too lazy to fight with the emperor for Sanyang.

Zou Gan and the others had to sigh in their hearts, it was better to Gong Rang the emperor, Yang Ji had broken the law like that, and Gong Rang Emperor was still so warm to Yang Shiqi.

It's like Emperor Jingtai in front of him, he is really ruthless, and there is no room for it.

Wei Ji also felt a little strange, why was the emperor suddenly not in a hurry to convict San Yang of this conspiracy?

Just because Zhu Qiyu just watched the lake and mountains alone, he had a new idea.

Zhu Qiyu had to sigh that his time as emperor was still too short, although others have taken turns to praise him recently, he still has a lot of immaturity. You can't float, you still have to hold down your feet and play steadily.

So Zhu Qiyu instructed everyone again: "It is also very important to pacify the chaos in Huguang and Miao, Yu Aiqing should go south quickly."

Wei Aiqing didn't want to go back to Nanjing, stayed in Beijing as a bachelor of Hanlin, joined the cabinet to participate in the maintenance, and concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and was in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

There is also Xue Aiqing, who stayed in Beijing as the left attendant of the Criminal Department, assisting Wang Aiqing in handling the affairs of the Criminal Department. ”

As soon as the emperor said this, Yu Shiyue and Zou Gan, who belonged to the Ministry of Rites, were the most helpless. Wei Ji's qualifications and prestige are too high, once he is appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and is clearly appointed by the emperor as the head of the seal and the management of the ministry, then the other three Shangshu can stand aside.

Without waiting for everyone to sigh, Zhu Qiyu added: "The Hanlin Academy will also be in charge of Wei Aiqing in the future, and now that the court situation is turbulent, please Aiqing work hard and share my worries."

Also, my mother died young, and it seems that she was the victim of a traitor. I will investigate to the end, and there will be results in a few days, and then the traitors will be wiped out by the three tribes. If you have any clues, you can also report them, and once it is verified, you will be rewarded.

Okay, let's disperse. ”

At this court meeting, Zhu Qiyu announced the appointment, and then hastily dispersed the court.

However, Zhu Qiyu is not without gains, at least the charges of Sanyang colluding with Wara and betraying Jiaozhi can be regarded as confirmed. And the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy, through Wei Ji, were officially included in the control.

Next, just wait for the turmoil in the inner court.
