When the impeachment of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials came out, everyone was shocked!
Especially Wu Qiuhan, he was full of surprises, he looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and then at Su Changqing, not knowing what kind of medicine these two were selling.
What's the situation? Does the Minister of the Ministry of Officials also intend to compete for position
The two turned against each other
Wu Qiuhan had a lot of thoughts, and finally decided to agree: "Yes, Your Majesty, Su Changqing, as the head of all officials, has no way to teach his son, which caused Su Wen to spend a lot of money in brothels and compete with others for wealth. What he did , It aroused the indignation of the people, and it made many people think that I, the rich and powerful of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are all corrupt. Now the people are rumored that ten officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty will kill ten of them. There are fish that slip through the net, after all, Su Changqing, the head of the hundred officials, is the world's most corrupt!"
Su Changqing glanced at Wu Qiuhan with a smile in his eyes.
This guy is really impatient.
But when he opened his mouth, people close to him immediately began to agree, not only that, Su Changqing's disciples also echoed, and for a while, the court was full of words criticizing Su Changqing for his incompetence in teaching his son.
Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, and tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers. For him, this situation was also extremely unexpected.
"Changqing, what do you say?"
This time, without any explanation, Su Changqing knelt down on the ground, lying on the ground with his whole body, and said in his mouth: "I am guilty!"
Wu Qiuhan was overjoyed.
Su Changqing does not explain the plea of guilt, that is to say, the crime is finalized, and then it depends on how to deal with it. Although the crime of teaching children is not as serious as the crime of corruption, it can be big or small. If this crime is used, Su Changqing Pulling down the aspect, at least he also has a chance to compete.
Sure enough, Emperor Zhou looked at the officials and asked calmly: "Tell me, Prime Minister Su is incapable of teaching his son, how should we deal with it?"
For a while, the whole hall was silent.
No one dared to speak out.
Even Wu Qiuhan took back the words that came to his lips.
Before Emperor Zhou, he had always called Su Changqing by name, but when he asked about the crime, he said it was Prime Minister Su.
The meaning of this is worth pondering.
Su Changqing was also quite moved in his heart, no matter what, at this time, Emperor Zhou still showed his posture, and Su Changqing remained immobile.
After a while, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials said: "Su Xiang has no way to teach his son. The root cause is that the Su family has too much property and too much money, which makes his son Su Wen not aware of the preciousness of money. According to my opinion, I can send Su Confiscation of Xiang’s family’s property, as a warning to others, and let the world know that this trend cannot last.”
A flash of excitement flashed in Emperor Zhou's eyes, and he understood somewhat that Su Changqing wanted to donate his family's wealth.
He more or less knew about Su Changqing's family wealth.
To put it bluntly, does Emperor Zhou need money? It is very necessary, the more ambitious the emperor, the more places to spend money.
But in the same way, he knew very well in his heart where Su Changqing's money came from.
He never thought of touching Su Changqing's furniture.
But now, Su Changqing took the initiative to take advantage of this opportunity to pay respects to his family, and he still used the name of guilt. In this way, ordinary people would even applaud him, and he would not bear the reputation of exploiting his courtiers.
Considerate, so considerate.
Sure enough, Su Changqing said: "I have no way to teach my sons, and the people all over the world have resentment against the powerful. I am willing to confiscate the family wealth and put it into the national treasury, so as to imitate others and let the world know that even if you have money, you can't squander it recklessly. A surge of extravagance."
Emperor Zhou looked at Su Changqing, and said: "Changqing, you and I are like brothers. After so many years, I can't bear to be like this today."
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, what did the Emperor Zhou say
Monarchs and ministers like brothers
Emperor Zhou is the emperor, and now he is either beheading or confiscating his family property. Su Changqing has nothing to do, and his face does not move. As a result, Emperor Zhou said such words in front of all the officials.
Obviously, Emperor Zhou was telling all the officials that he moved Su Changqing's family wealth today, but it didn't mean that he was going to punish Su Changqing for his crimes.
The prosperity of Su Changqing's holy grace is beyond words.
It is even faintly warning those who have secret thoughts.
Su Changqing burst into tears with gratitude, and said, "My minister is guilty. I have been busy with state affairs for many years, so I neglected to teach my dog. Thanks to Your Majesty's grace, I will offer my furniture today to let my dog know that life is not easy, so that I can make him a talent. "
Emperor Zhou also said: "Changqing's words are wrong. You are busy with official duties on weekdays. You have already taught Su Cheng and Su Yu to become the pillars of the country. Su Wen is a little bit flamboyant, but he has excellent martial arts talent. I'm big Zhou Zhu."
Good guy, hearing this made Wu Qiuhan's brain buzz.
So Su Wen is still older than Zhou Yizhu
If you two chat for a while, the money probably won't be fined.
At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials spoke again: "Your Majesty, I believe that the matter of confiscating Prime Minister Su's family property should be handled by Wu Qiuhan, Minister of the Ministry of Households. Mr. Wu is clean and honest. As we all know, he is also the most proficient in money in the Great Zhou Dynasty. For those who are calculating, if he confiscates Su Xiang's family property, he will definitely be able to seal the mouths of those who care about it, and there will be no mistakes."
Emperor Zhou laughed and said, "I'll follow Aiqing's play!"
This time, he didn't even ask for Wu Qiuhan's opinion.
At this time, Wu Qiuhan understood that Su Changqing intentionally offered his furniture to Emperor Zhou, not to mention anything else, whoever gave the money would others not like it
At this moment, Emperor Zhou touched his chin and said, "I remember, there is still one person fighting for wealth with Su Wen?"
Wu Qiuhan's heart skipped a beat.
Before he started playing, he always deliberately only called him a man fighting for wealth, just to prevent Xue Meng from being involved.
But now, Emperor Zhou took the initiative to ask, fearing that he couldn't get away with it.
Sure enough, someone immediately replied: "That's right, that person is the son of the rich merchant Xue family, Xue Meng."
Emperor Zhou asked: "Prime Minister Su has no way to teach his son. Su Wen and Xue Meng fought for wealth, which made everyone in the capital know. Now that Prime Minister Su is being punished, how should the Xue family deal with it? I heard that this fight for wealth seems to be the same. It was suggested by Xue Meng."
Wu Qiuhan hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Xue Meng was certainly wrong, but he himself did not serve in the court, and no one in Xue's family served in the court. If he is punished rashly, it may make the world's wealthy merchants tremble with fear." , and may be transferred to other countries at that time."
Anyway, Xue Meng is his nephew.
The Xue family is also inextricably linked to him.
But he didn't notice that just as he spoke, the corner of Su Changqing's mouth trembled imperceptibly.
"Hehe, if you learn from me and ask the Xue family to donate some of their belongings, there is still room for change in this matter, but if you do this, doesn't it highlight my selflessness?" Su Changqing secretly disdainful in his heart.
Sure enough, Emperor Zhou raised his brows and said, "Is that unreasonable? Could it be that no one is doing business in Dazhou after they all moved away? Wu Qiuhan, I remember that your sister seems to have married the Xue family, right?"
Wu Qiu was dripping with cold and sweat, fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed and said, "Yes!"
Emperor Zhou clicked on him, and then he didn't get entangled in this issue, but continued: "Prime Minister Su has no way to teach his son, and the Xue family also has no way to teach his son. If this is the case, Prime Minister Su will be punished, and the Xue family will also be punished, but I am not that kind. A tyrant will not extort money, I will not move a penny of the Xue family's property, but from now on, all transactions related to the court of the Xue family will be stopped, and all procedures that require approval will not be allowed to go through the review within 20 years, and that Xue Meng, since you don't serve in the court, you will go to northern Xinjiang to serve in corvee for five years. All the people of my Great Zhou Dynasty are in corvée, isn't this too much?"
