First Prince of Ming Dynasty Chapter 670

  Chapter 670 Tracing the house

  The sudden attack by Chen Youzong and others shocked the entire court into silence. Everyone has heard about the movement last night, but they did not expect it to be so obvious. This is really a life-and-death situation with Hu Xiangyi.

   Even Wu Xun frowned, no matter what, they didn't want to stand on the opposite side of the Eastern Palace, not to mention that many of them were generals of the Eastern Palace.

  The identities of Wu Xun of Huaixi and the direct descendant of Donggong have never conflicted, but what Hu Weiyong is doing now undoubtedly puts them on the map, so they all look at them with some dissatisfaction.

Hearing the sound, Tu Jie went out and knelt down silently, and took off the black gauze cap on his head and put it on the ground beside him, as soon as he went, he just went, this kind of thing is not enough to enter the Taipu Temple, so there is no good justified.

  Zhu Biao glanced at Tu Jie indifferently and then said to Li Cunyi: "Go on, I'm listening."

Li Cunyi hurriedly kowtowed: "The guilty minister thanked His Highness for your kindness. What Chen Tongzheng said was true. The guilty minister was greedy for profit and used his position to sell the official horse privately. After hearing what my brother said in the letter, he felt remorseful. So please Tu Zhong Promise to return the stolen money is definitely not to cover up the evidence of the crime, the criminal also has an account in his hand, which can be compared with the one in Zhang Shaoqing's hand."

  Zhu Biao's fingers moved slightly, and Liu Jin, under Majesty Dan, immediately went down to take over the account in Zhang Han's hand, and then walked to Li Cunyi, seeing him also take out an account book from his arms to improve his eyesight.

  Liu Jin returned to her original place after collecting it. The court was discussing the government and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting for it.

"Oh, it's ridiculous. Since you have repented, you should immediately go to the palace and ask His Highness to wait for the release, instead of making up for the shortfall on your own, let alone letting an outsider go for you. Li Siqing is waiting for you. What kind of stupid people are you?"

   "Your Highness, this bureaucrat deceived his superiors and subordinates in an attempt to get through the customs. He deserves to be taken into custody and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for torture. You really don't need to listen to his sophistry!"

  Li Cunyi's words are too many mistakes and omissions, whoever is in the court, even if you do everything flawlessly, will be found out, let alone such things that are done in a hurry.

  Some officials refrained from opening their mouths, and they just cared about the faces of Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, the two prime ministers. After all, many of them were former students and officials promoted by Li Shanchang in the past.

  The words of Chen Youzong and others became more and more fierce. Li Cunyi and Tu Jie no longer dared to argue. He just knelt on the ground and waited for the prince's decision and Hu Weiyong's reaction.

   Gradually, it wasn't just these two people's affairs. Chen Youzong and others took the initiative to impeach several officials from the Ministry of Public Affairs and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which made Hu Weiyong, who had been standing in awe, unable to stand up.

  The East Palace Department is mostly in the local area, and those who stayed in Beijing have always kept their own place. This sudden outbreak really surprised many people, let alone expecting them to have such vigor, they are simply unstoppable and unstoppable.

Hu Weiyong sighed like Li Cunyi, took off his black gauze, knelt in the hall and said loudly: "My minister has great trust in the Holy One and appointed him as the prime minister of the dynasty, but he didn't know people well and appointed them improperly, resulting in today's affairs, disregarding God's grace, shame , I only ask Your Highness to show mercy, and allow this humble minister to beg for the bones and return to the countryside to work in agriculture."

Seeing that Hu Weiyong was finally unable to stand still, Chen Youzong immediately answered the words and said sarcastically: "Hu Xiang is the prime minister, and he is also the burden of the world. Is this the only way to do this? Li Siqing, Tu Zhongcheng, and Zhao Shilang were all promoted by Hu Xiang. Don't you know anything?"

  Dali Temple Minister Zhang Guanglie even spoke bluntly and said: "What the envoy said is reasonable, and the ministers seconded it, but it only involves the prime minister, and it is still necessary to ask the emperor's will."

   "Seniors and others!"

Where there is support, there will be resistance, even Wu Xun can't sit still, it doesn't matter what Li Cunyi or Tu Jie are, but Hu Weiyong is different, even if it is the Huaixi Group, it is not right to support a prime minister Such an easy thing.

"Your Highness, being out of the law is nothing more than reason. Li Siqing was wrong, but after all, it was just a crime of abusing power and never oppressing good people. What's more, there is still a move to confess guilt and repentance. I ask Your Highness to think about Li Xiang's past actions. Credit, forgiveness and forgiveness."

"Chen Tongzheng's remarks are too exaggerated and unreasonable. As Prime Minister Hu, it is his duty to promote talents for the country. Many officials in this palace have been promoted by Hu Xiang. Could it be that we are all corrupt? the party?"

   "Your Highness, Hu Xiang was personally appointed by the Holy Majesty, don't listen to the villain's slander!"

   One by one, earnest words full of emotion came into Zhu Biao's ears continuously, and before he knew it, there was no one standing in the whole hall, and everyone knelt on the ground and waited for him.

  Li Cunyi and Tu Jie are actually in a pretty good mood now. When everyone is standing and only you are kneeling, you feel very bad. Now that everyone is kneeling with you, you feel a lot safer.

   Zhu Biao kept rubbing his thumb and index finger behind his back. He knew the meaning of what he wrote with his own pen and ink yesterday best, so the reaction of Chen Youzong and others was within his expectation.

   But the current situation is indeed a bit beyond expectations. It is obvious that they underestimated the position of the words that the ministers who worry about the ministers humiliate the ministers and ministers will die in the hearts of Chen Youzong and others. They are really planning to fight Hu Weiyong to death.

   It is estimated that Hu Weiyong is also very hesitant now. He thought that Li Cunyi would be thrown out at most, but now Tu Jie will be involved, and the rest of the key party members will also be implicated.

  If these people are really taken down, his prime minister is really just a decoration, not to mention holding the power of the Ministry of Education and the Six Departments in one hand as he is now, I am afraid that he will not even be able to keep his position.

   "Put Li Cunyi and Tu Jie in jail, Chen Qing led officials from the Ministry of Punishment to search Li's house, Zhang Qing led Dali Temple officials to check the accounts of Taipu Temple, Shaoqing Zhang Han temporarily took the post of Minister of Taipu Temple."

  Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Minister of Dali Temple and Shaoqing of Taipu Temple Zhang Han promised loudly, Li Cunyi fell to the ground in a flash, he never thought that this matter would lead to the step of ransacking the house.

   Could it be that the crown prince really doesn't care about the Li family's face, really doesn't care about the face of Donggong Liang Di?

Hu Weiyong felt relieved, the officials who were ransacked and searched had no chance of becoming officials anyway, Li Cunyi's official career had been cut off, but the crown prince asked people from the Ministry of Punishment to copy it, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment belonged to him, so His Highness would not I know, that is, I am not prepared to do anything about it.

  At this point, it is enough to save Li Cunyi's life, and the rest is easy to talk about.

   "Hu Qing is not strict in employing people and neglecting investigations, and fined his salary for half a year. Do you have any objections?"

  Hu Weiyong kowtowed and said: "Your Highness is wise, and I am sincerely convinced. I will be careful in the future."

Zhu Biao glanced at the people in the hall and continued: "All the ministers of Yushitai have heard it just now, and we must not slack off for a moment to clean up the officials. Immediately start the investigation of all government offices in Beijing, especially the officials who have just been impeached. , Do not wrongfully upright and honest officials, and absolutely do not let any corrupt people who break the law!"

   "Your Majesty's orders must be obeyed!"

  The officials of the East Palace who were going to fight to the death just now immediately stopped, and their usual simple and honest expressions appeared on their faces. It seems that they might apologize to the person who was impeached just now.

  Their goal has been achieved. Presumably Hu Weiyong and others also understand what it means to be invincible, even if it is only secretly, His Highness's tolerance towards others is not the reason for the courtiers to be domineering.

   After retreating from the court, all the officials felt chills when they left Fengtian Hall. They were all sweating unknowingly.

But they all know that this is just His Royal Highness wanting to maintain stability, otherwise many people will be imprisoned today, and disasters will spread all over the family. At that time, the efforts of several generations of the family will be in vain, and they will have no face to see their ancestors after death .

Hu Weiyong walked slowly alone, Chen Youzong asked the person beside him to take a step first when he saw this, the two got closer, Hu Weiyong slightly turned his head and smiled and said: "Brother Chen, don't worry about the matter just now, I will be an official in the same palace , we will need to work together to assist His Highness in the future."
