Zhu Youxiao didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, and glanced at Wei Zhongxian with his deep eyes.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I dare not lie! Your Majesty can send me the details and ask."
Zhu Youxiao clicked on a blank piece of paper on the desk and motioned for Wei Zhongxian to write on it.
Wei Zhongxian stood up and started writing in front of Zhu Youxiao's case with his hand.
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment after looking at it.
For a moment, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but fold his hands under his chin, thinking to himself: "My appearance has really changed history beyond recognition!"
After thinking like this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly said: "Since he has already placed a detail around you, if you directly ask you to send people from Dongchang to get it, it will be a warning. When I find an opportunity, I will summon him and come to If you take him in front of me again, I will interrogate him personally. Now you just pretend that you don’t know about this and just keep an eye on him in secret!"
"My slave understands!"
…
"Are you all ready? Can you defeat Yuan Chenggong? Just this time! You must complete your victory in one battle without making any mistakes!"
In the courtyard of a certain deep house, a senior official in red robe asked Fang Shihui solemnly.
Fang Shihui said: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged. Now Yuan Suizhou has already made the powerful gentry unhappy because of the new business tax and the ban on menstruation. And these Hanlin Qingliu who claim to be Qingliu are also quite dissatisfied with Yuan Suizhou's cruel and murderous behavior. Out of dissatisfaction, they have long wanted to resign. Now you promise that once Yuan Keli leaves the court, you will share our family's share of the official camp with them, and strive to seize the Yuan family after confiscating it in the future. The Yuan family's share will also be given to them, and they will be more willing."
The red-robed official nodded: "When Yuan leaves and Prime Minister Liu takes charge of the inner court, I will request that the share of the official property that your Fang family gave away be returned to your name! As for those who are greedy for money, Hanlin Qingliu, if you want the wealth that belongs to your Fang family, your servants will naturally pretend not to know and only give them the Yuan family's share. However, if you want to arouse their greed now, you have to Let more people spread the news about Yuan Keli's corruption, accepting bribes, and wantonly amassing money to enrich himself, and talk about how rich his Yuan family is, just like they publicized the wealth of the Zhang family before he wanted to overthrow Taiyue."
"Thank you, Mr. Ge!"
Fang Shihui replied gratefully.
Then, the red-robed official asked Fang Shihui to retreat.
After Fang Shihui left here, the red-robed official met a young eunuch who came out of the palace again, and whispered: "How long will the internal minister have to wait? Since Wei Zhongxian has already communicated with Xu, Yuan and others, They colluded together to control Chao Gang, why is he still so submissive! If you ask him again, just say that as a servant, the thing in this world is to starve the bold to death and starve the timid. He doesn't dare, but others do! Although, He is already a great leader, but without the help of foreign ministers, he will not be able to achieve anything. In the Ming Dynasty's system, if you want to hold power in your own hands, you must cooperate with both inside and outside! If he hesitates like this again, sooner or later Wei Zhongxian will become the number one in the inner court. One person, and sooner or later he will become the stepping stone to become the number one person in the inner court!"
"yes!"
The little eunuch replied.
The red-robed official then said: "You can bring something to him when you go back. If he is willing, we will give him a big gift!"
…
"If you reply to him, just say, wait until their big gift arrives. Even if our family has the intention to be Feng Bao, we still know that His Majesty is no stupider than the temple back then!"
Liu Ruoyu said this after listening to the same eunuch's report.
Liu Ruoyu indeed did not dare to collude with foreign ministers easily.
But with the expansion of his desire for power and the teasing of foreign civil servants, he didn't know when he started to secretly interact with cabinet ministers.
Sometimes Liu Ruoyu felt that he had taken the initiative to have this idea while Fang Congzhe was still there, and it was not the civil servants who first teased him.
But now, when they decided whether to form a political alliance, Liu Ruoyu was still hesitant. He was really afraid of being known by His Majesty the Emperor.
Liu Ruoyu didn't know whether Wei Zhongxian, his rival, was really bolder than him, and had already started to hang out with some foreign ministers blatantly.
But Liu Ruoyu, who was always cautious, decided to wait until the red-robed official with whom he secretly interacted completed the gift to him.
That way he can directly become the number one person in the inner court without having to plot against Wei Zhongxian.
As for what the gift is.
Liu Ruoyu had naturally guessed it.
…
"Brother, the elder has asked me to mobilize many high-ranking officials to force people named Yuan to leave the court. Moreover, they used the profits from confiscating the Yuan family and the official profits that our family voluntarily dedicated to the court as bait. Many people with business backgrounds The Qingliu people in Hanlin were very moved by this."
Fang Mansion.
After Fang Shihui dismissed Mo Yu, he personally pushed Fang Shihong and talked while walking in the yard.
Fang Shihong smiled faintly: "No wonder there are rumors that Yuan Suizhou has been appointed as the first assistant, and his mansion has attracted wealth to the point where he has more than ten treasury rooms and more than twenty silver vaults. Even the bed is made of pure gold. Now It seems that, as I analyzed to Yuan Fu, it was you who caused the trouble."
Fang Shihui said: "Brother, I think that Yuan will definitely be defeated this time. You don't know that Mr. Ge has other means. Unlike Yuan, who is the chief assistant but doesn't know how to use scheming. He only insists on being strong, and he kills decisively at every turn. He has offended many people. He is like a reckless man. How can he be the opponent of a scheming person like Mr. Ge? My father had to let you join him before, so let me It’s really inappropriate to join Mr. Ge’s family, and he even took the initiative to give up our Fang family’s share of the government-owned property. If both of us brothers followed Mr. Ge, how could we not be able to keep the family business!”
"Father has his own reasons for doing this!"
Fang Shihong replied with a smile, and then said: "Besides, I am a disabled person. Even if Yuan Fu is really defeated, it will be nothing to me. I am just fulfilling my filial piety and completing my father's arrangements."
Fang Shihong knew that his brother was trying to trick him, and he also knew that his brother was very scheming, so he just said this.
…
"Mr. Ge, I tested my brother, but he didn't reveal anything about Yuan Suizhou and the others' plans."
After Fang Shihui saw the red-robed official again, he truthfully reported the contents of his conversation with his brother.
After hearing this, the high official nodded silently and said: "I guess they have no way to deal with it. Unless Yuan Keli really wants to betray his clan and Shilin this time and become a lackey of the imperial court, he must leave the court. He must be a real person." Is it so easy to kill?"
Soon, the cabinet first received a memorial from Censor Dang Chongya and Jin Zhijun impeaching Yuan Keli for taking advantage of the new commercial tax to enrich himself.
The cabinet has not yet had time to vote.
The outside world quickly spread the news that Yuan Keli was impeached for corruption, and even made up many decent stories, as if these manuscripts had already been prepared.
At the same time, rumors also began to circulate that the two censors had been ordered to confiscate their families and exterminate their clans. It was said that Yuan Keli was preparing to correct the imperial edict, vowing to falsely accuse them of treason and kill all the nine members of their clans.
It is even said that the two censors had prepared a coffin in order to expose Yuan Keli's crime of embezzling state money.
And it is said that he has a nose and eyes.
Yuan Keli, who was busy with the new commercial tax reform, did not expect that the black information about him would come so fiercely. What made him even more unexpected was that when he came to Qianbu Corridor from the mansion, a large group of civil servants stopped him. Many of them were so-called honest, honest and upright ministers of the Han Dynasty.
He Wuzuo first raised his hands to Yuan Keli and said: "Yuan Fu! Please let go of the censor who dares to speak out and take the initiative to resign from the court! Otherwise, we will resign and be ashamed to be listed in the court with you!"
