Chapter 72: Isn't This Dead?
The next day, Fengtian Temple.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in the court, and the ministers shouted long live.
"Zhongqing is flat."
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the ministers, with an indifferent expression.
Xiao Guizi knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, so he whipped the dust, "The hundred officials have a morning performance, and they have nothing to do to retreat." ”
"The minister has his own music!" The head of the household department was the first to stand up.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him lightly, "Quasi-play." ”
"Your Majesty, Niangniang's body has always been Kangtai, but now it has ......suddenly collapsed," he said, he whimpered and sobbed, "It must be the dereliction of duty of the imperial doctor who treated Niangniang, so that's it." ”
He didn't say who it was, but everyone who was there knew who he was talking about.
For a while, everyone's eyes looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't see anger on his face, his expression was quite flat, and he didn't make a statement.
Guo Huan saw it in his eyes, was happy in his heart, and glanced at Zeng Tai.
But Zeng Tai didn't pay attention to him, it was too early to speak at this time, and he still needed to observe and observe.
Being in a high position, figuring out the Sacred Heart is a compulsory course, even if the opponent commits a mortal crime, you must grasp the timing of speaking, otherwise, it is easy to displease the emperor.
The queen has just died, and it is unknown whether the emperor is willing to kill people immediately, and he will not speak before the holy will is still unclear.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
Zeng Tai was calm, but some people couldn't hold their breath, and the etiquette department member Wailang came out of work.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang is only fifty years old, if it weren't for the quack doctor's misdiagnosis, how could she ...... The minister asked the emperor to investigate thoroughly. ”
"Thoroughly?" Zhu Yuanzhang slowly spoke, "Investigate whom?" ”
"The one who treats the mother." The ceremonial member replied with a cry.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "The person who treated the queen is Li Qing, do you mean to investigate him thoroughly?" ”
Wai Lang, a member of the household department, hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "The emperor is wise." ”
"Hehe......" Zhu Yuanzhang pulled up a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, and was about to speak, when the general of the station hall hurriedly came in to report: "Your Majesty, Jinyi calmed Li Qing, saying that there are 100,000 urgent things to play." ”
Guo Huan didn't expect that Li Qing would dare to come at this juncture, and quietly looked outside the hall, and his heart was even more excited.
Li Qing, Li Qing, you dare to come at this time, it's really hard not to die.
"One by one, I can't bear it!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly, "Let him wait first." ”
"Yes."
The general arched his hand and slowly retreated.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the ministers and said, "I think Li Qing is guilty, step forward." ”
The ministers were stunned, and the head of the household department and the member of the Ministry of Rites were the first to react, and immediately took a step forward, and immediately, someone followed.
Zhu Yuanzhang counted, a total of more than 20 people stepped forward, and there was a Shangshu among them, which surprised him.
It stands to reason that people of this rank should not be so aggressive.
"Zeng Tai, do you also think that Li Qing is guilty?"
"Emperor Mingjian!" Zeng Tai arched his hand and said, "Li Qing used his power for personal gain, embezzled tens of thousands of taels of stolen money, and his ministers have conclusive evidence of guilt. ”
"Embezzlement?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes froze, "Embezzlement of tens of thousands of taels, and the evidence is conclusive?" ”
"Exactly." Zeng Taiyi said righteously, "If the minister is framed, he is willing to suffer the sin of reverse." ”
"Wechen can testify for Zeng Shangshu." Guo Huan came out of the class and said, "If what the minister said is untrue, he is willing to share the same crime with Zeng Shangshu." ”
A scholar and a waiter, all insisted that Li Qing used power for personal gain, embezzled tens of thousands of taels, and was willing to bear the consequences of untruth, Zhu Yuanzhang was also suspicious.
This Li Qing ...... Have we lost our eyes again?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more and more ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Let that bastard come in." ”
When he heard that the emperor had even changed his title, Guo Huan almost laughed.
Xiao Guizi sang sharply: "Xuan Li Qing will see you." ”
Li Qing strode into the main hall, lifted his robe and bowed: "Weichen Li Qing, long live my emperor!" ”
After a pause, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't let him up, he had to say: "The emperor ordered the ministers to inspect the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the ministers did not dare to slack off, and now it has been found out ......."
Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted, "Li Qing, Hubu Shangshu and Shilang have all impeached you for abusing power for personal gain and embezzling tens of thousands of taels of stolen money, what do you have to say?" ”
He hated that iron could not be made of steel, "Isn't the money we give you enough?" ”
Li Qing was stunned, looked at the murderous Lao Zhu, and muttered in his heart: Damn, this wave... Miscalculated?
Lao Zhu really wants to kill me?
Wait, embezzlement?
When did Lao Tzu embezzle?
Li Qing arched his hand and said, "The money given by the emperor is enough, and there are still a lot of ministers." ”
"Are you still greedy?"
"The minister is not greedy." Li Qing shook his head.
paused, "Dare to ask the emperor, where is the minister greedy for money?" ”
Lao Zhu froze, glancing at Guo Huan and Zeng Tai.
As soon as Guo Huan saw that the time had come, he immediately ignored Lord Shangshu, and rolled up his arms to get on himself.
"Li Qing, when you raided the Drunken Immortal Building, you auctioned off all the red dust girls inside to the prostitutes, right?"
Li Qing said lightly, "The Drunken Immortal Building is Ouyang Lun's embezzled money, and the Hongchen girl in it is also the one inside. ”
"It's not out of order." Guo Huan smiled slowly.
He enjoyed this feeling of pinching his opponent to death little by little in front of the emperor and civil and military officials.
"Please answer the official's question head-on!"
"Not bad." Li Qing nodded.
"Your Majesty, he lied." Guo Huan arched his hand and said, "Li Qing privately detained one of the top Qing people and two Oiran of the Drunken Immortal Building, and directly took them for himself. ”
He took out the 'incriminating evidence', "This is the evidence he left when he changed the household registration of several daughters, please preview it for the emperor." ”
Li Qing was stunned.
Zhu Yuanzhang also had a strange face.
Neither of them expected that this embezzlement of tens of thousands of dirty funds was talking about this matter.
Silly, right?
Guo Huan looked at Li Qing, who was stunned, and his mood was not too beautiful.
Xiao Guizi walked down the jade steps and took the evidence of the crime and presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang only glanced at it, and then put it aside, "Guo Huan, is this what you are talking about?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Qing people detained by Li Qing are the top cards among the Qing people in the Drunken Immortal Building, and she alone is worth at least eight thousand taels, plus those two oirans, there are tens of thousands of taels!"
Guo Huan hurriedly said, "There are other Qing people here at the transaction price, and those few who are not famous can be sold for four thousand taels." ”
As he spoke, he handed over another letter of guilt.
Xiao Guizi presented it, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even bother to look at it, people were rewarded by him, what else could he say.
But he didn't expect that a prostitute in a green house would be so valuable.
Guo Huan also said that Lao Zhu didn't believe it, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, that Qingqi person is the woman in Li Qing's song "Gift Wanling", she is really worth the price." ”
"Li Qing used his power for personal gain, and under the pretext of raiding his house, he occupied the prostitutes in the Qinglou, and the minister implored the emperor to deal with it strictly." Guo Huan knelt down heavily.
As soon as he knelt, more than 20 people, including the head of the household department and the member of the Ministry of Rites, also knelt down.
However, except for more than 20 of them, the others chose to remain silent.
They are all old fritters, and they are keenly aware that the queen's attitude is a little unusual.
According to the usual understanding, the human and material evidence are all there, and the impeached person does not defend himself, so he should be dragged out at this time, and if he can't wait for the next court, his head will fall to the ground.
But Li Qing is still fine, and he still looks fearless.
The holy will is unknown, and they dare not speak indiscriminately.
Zeng Tai also sensed that something was wrong, but he was already difficult to ride a tiger at the moment, so he could only go all the way to the dark.
"I beg the emperor to judge!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was embarrassed, the emperor gave the courtiers a marriage, and the emperor rewarded the courtiers and prostitutes too cheaply.
Otherwise, he would not have rewarded him with a secret decree.
"Li Qing, do you have anything to say?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him with unkind eyes.
Li Qing understood what Lao Zhu meant, and immediately took the pot: "The minister is guilty, please punish the emperor." ”
Count you as acquaintances...... Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, "Let's discuss the punishment later, let's talk about your 100,000 urgent matters!" ”
"Your Majesty ......!"
Guo Huan was stunned, embezzling tens of thousands of taels, how could he discuss it later?
Is this still Zhu Yuanzhang?
Zeng Tai's heart sank, he was a grade higher than Guo Huan, and he understood that Li Qing couldn't die.
Damn, this doesn't die?
The ministers were also shocked, Queen Ma collapsed, and Li Qing was not implicated at all, not even a scolding.
That's it, embezzling tens of thousands of taels, and even saying 'let's discuss it later' is enough, which simply subverts their three views.
What is the origin of this Li Qing?
Zeng Tai was discouraged at the moment, and his bowels were green with remorse, if he didn't take Guo Huan's 100,000 taels, he would end up beheading at most, but now... I'm afraid it's not to exterminate the race.
Guo Huan also came back to his senses at the moment, but he was really unwilling, and at the risk of Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, he asked again:
"Please ask the emperor to deal with Li Qing strictly!"
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and said to Li Qing, "Tell me about your 100,000 urgent things!" ”
"Obey."
Li Qing arched his hand, glanced at Guo Huan, and secretly sneered: This time it's finally my turn, right?
