Qianqing Palace, warm pavilion.
Zhu Youjian, who had stayed up all night, looked tired and his eyes flushed. Looking at these confessions, the memorials of the beggars, his face was livid, turning over one after another, and threw one after another, panting. He gritted his teeth and couldn't say a word with hatred.
Wang Chengen, Li Zhong stood not far in front of him, bowed his head, dare not to have the atmosphere.
An internal supervisor hurried in from outside and said: "Long live Lord, Li Ge please see me."
Zhu Youzhen looked bored, and said, "Let him in."
"Yes." The inner supervisor responded.
Before long, Li Guopu came in a hurry, with an anxious look, and he couldn't care about saluting, and said: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the officials in the court, rank 4 and above, five and six out of ten have been on leave, and most of the ministries are empty... "
Zhu Youjian has seen numerous leave and resignation memorials. Listening to Li Guopu's words, he was not surprised at all. His face became more ugly, and he said, "What can you do?"
Li Guopu was transferred from Zhan Shifu, and he had very few contacts between the ruling and the opposition, not to mention having to fill so many people at once.
Li Guopu looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, Yuansuke proposes to open a court meeting."
It has been almost three months since Zhu Youjian succeeded to the throne, and he has never held a court meeting. First, he has been trying to understand and control the court; second, a lot of things have happened and there is no chance at all.
Zhu Youjian listened to Li Guopu's words, and was very disappointed in his heart. Huang Liji wanted to open a court meeting, and he must use the court meeting to suppress Cui Chengxiu. This completely deviated from Zhu Youjian's ideas. However, Li Guopu seemed to be totally indifferent. To this level.
"I see, you go to the cabinet and hold on to government affairs." Zhu Youzhen was disappointed in his heart, showing little expression on his face, and said indifferently.
Li Guopu wanted to say it again, looking at Zhu Youzhen's tired look, he had to say, "The minister retire."
Li Guopu left, Zhu Youjian was under even greater pressure. He sat in a chair, unable to breathe his instinct, and stood up straight and said, "Yu Huayuan."
Wang Chengen responded and accompanied Zhu Youjian to the Royal Garden.
Wang Chengen followed Zhu Youjian, looked at his back, and said nothing.
After Wei Zhongxian's death, the tight court situation, with Cui Chengxiu's arrest, was finally in chaos.
The new emperor has only succeeded for three months, and he can control the court situation. There are not many people who can use it, and it is impossible for the Manchu Eunuch Party to replace it at once.
Now Shoufu and the adults of Liubujiu Temple are picking up their sons, and all the pressure is concentrated on the new emperor.
What can I do
Wang Chengen also came from the court, and he has seen many court battles. This time the court officials made such a concerted effort to'take leave', far exceeding the grand occasion of the'national dispute' back then.
At that time, the Wanli emperor who had been in power for more than 30 years had to give in. What can the new emperor who has just succeeded to the throne for three months do
Zhu Youjian was only sixteen years old. He walked towards the Imperial Garden without expression. No one knew how angry he was.
The majestic pressure was felt in the palace, but there was no sign of stopping outside the palace.
More than 20 supervisory historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate played, impeached Jomec, and argued for Cui Chengxiu.
The Ministry of Criminal Justice is directly investigating Jomec, collecting his various "criminal evidence".
The overwhelming force rushed to the palace and the young emperor.
At noon, the Qianqing Palace summoned the chief assistant Huang Liji, the assistant minister Feng Quan, the official minister Wu Chunfu, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Zhou Yingqiu, the Ministry of War Shangshu Yan Mingtai and so on. As a result, these people were all'seriously ill' and failed to enter the palace. See you.
In the afternoon, the Ministry of Households suddenly broke out a major event, the treasury was empty, and officials at all levels of the court could not appreciate it.
The so-called "year-end reward" probably means the year-end reward.
This incident quickly spread to the government and the public, causing many officials to be anxious, and all of them looked anxiously at the Palace of the Qing Dynasty.
The Palace of the Qing Dynasty is as quiet as an abyss as always, and it is difficult for outsiders to see.
Except for the unsuccessful summoning, there was no other action in the Palace of Qian Qing until dark.
Zhou Mansion.
When Zhou Qingli came back from Zhan Shifu, she looked tired and worried.
Zhou Fang also returned from Dali Temple early and waited in the hall.
"Father, did you encounter something?" Zhou Fang asked Zhou Qingli while looking at him.
Zhou Qingli sat down in a chair, drank a sip of tea, and said, "Many people in Zhan Shifu also took leave and resigned."
Zhou was listening, his expression as usual.
Eunuchs infiltrate everywhere. Now it is not only Wei Zhongxian who commits suicide and the eunuchs who are at a loss, but Cui Chengxiu’s arrest has caused everyone in the eunuchs to be in danger. Their leave may be a temptation, and resignation is fear and want to escape.
Zhou Fang didn't think so much, and said, "Well, Dali Temple also has it. Our adults are even more ready to resign, and we are already clearing things up."
Zhou Qingli glanced at him, did not speak, turned to Zhou Zhengdao: "What are you up to?"
Zhou Zheng did not tell Zhou Qingli that he sent Cui Chengxiu in and smiled and said: "There are hundreds of people coming in and out of Jiujiang Pavilion every day. There are also literary giants such as Mr. Jinghu. I am very busy."
Zhou Qingli nodded slightly and said, "Don't mix up."
The current court is a huge gunpowder barrel, and the people in it will be blown to pieces at any time, and there is no bones left!
The corners of Zhou Zheng's mouth moved, but he still didn't dare to tell Father Zhou.
Zhou Fang looked thoughtful, and said: "Now there is a lot of discussion outside, saying that there are treacherous nephews around the emperor, and I don't know who it is referring to..."
Both Zhou Qingli and Zhou Zheng's faces changed slightly.
"Where did it come from?" Zhou Qingli asked. As the emperor’s mansion, he is also considered a close minister. It is said that there are treacherous nephews around the emperor. Who is this going for
When Zhou Fang saw Zhou Qingli's look, he was shocked and then quickly said: "It was from Dali Temple, and no one was mentioned. It was passed on like this."
Zhou Zheng's expression was slightly condensed, and he looked at Daddy Zhou and said, "Father, I think it's mostly for you."
Li Guopu still has no power, but Zhou Qingli, who is responsible for investigating the'Wei Zhongxian's case', may have caused the eunuch's fear and has begun to take action.
Zhou Qingli nodded silently and said, "It's okay."
Seeing that Daddy Zhou looked calm, Zhou Zheng must have a countermeasure in his heart. After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked: "Father, Hou Guoxing, did Ke Guangxian and others confess some?"
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "What do you want to ask the salt merchant?"
Zhou Zheng did not hide, and nodded: "I have been waiting for the opportunity to give him a hammer."
Seeing that Zhou Zheng was so calm, Zhou Qingli paused and said, "It's hiring. Almost all major merchants have given Wei Zhongxian money. Then the Yang family is also there. What do you want to do?"
Zhou Zheng had thought about it a long time ago and said: "I have prepared to delete the names of the Yang family and the other sixteen major salt merchants in the summary. When Wei Zhongxian is liquidated, I want my father to list them separately."
Zhou Qingli couldn't figure out Zhou Zheng's thoughts, and said, "Okay."
Zhou Zheng was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Father Zhou to agree so readily.
At this time, Liu Liuzhe knocked outside and said, "Second Young Master, there is an urgent matter."
Zhou Zheng glanced at Father Zhou and Zhou Fang, got up and walked to the door.
Liu Liuzhe glanced in his eyes and whispered: "Second Young Master, there is news from the palace, let you go to the restaurant tomorrow."
Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly and said: "I know." (End of this chapter)
