"Father! What are you talking about? The civil servants of the outer court are doing this to make your grandson's empire more stable and to solve the court's shortfall! I also support their doing this!"
Then, Zhu Yijun heard what Empress Dowager Li said.
Empress Dowager Li said at this time: "Besides, when the late emperor was here, didn't he give you enough land? Why do you have to annex people's land without reporting it! Let me be embarrassed and your grandson will be embarrassed too! "
"That's all. How can you tamper with military supplies! If you want to do business, do it well. How could you ruin your grandson's military morale like this! You are ruining your grandson's foundation!"
The more Empress Dowager Li spoke, the more stern her tone became.
Uncle Wu Qing said with a crying face: "My queen, you have wronged me! How could I have thought this way? Besides, this has damaged the morale of the army!"
Then, Uncle Wu Qing said: "Besides, your Majesty is still young now, and you don't have the final say in this world. Our Li family really has something wrong with us. Who dares to say that our Li family is not successful? You can't just think about the Zhu family." Ah! Don't take advantage of His Majesty's young age to take care of our Li family! Do you know that your father now has a large family to support? Do you still want your father to work as a bricklayer to support the family at this age? "
"What are you talking about!"
"If you want to make money, it's not that I haven't allowed you to make it. Haven't you earned enough over the years? If you weren't the emperor's grandfather, could the Ministry of War give you the job of making winter clothes for the border troops?"
"But you also have to know how to abide by the rules. You can't break the rules just because you are a relative! And let the royal family lose face too!"
Empress Dowager Li said angrily.
Wu Qingbo complained: "Your Majesty has not yet taken charge of the government, so there is nothing you can do. As long as you don't care, who will dare to pursue it?"
Queen Mother Li couldn't help but burst into tears: "What are you saying, father! Do you think your daughter should protect you?! And then, no matter what the world thinks of me or our Li family?!"
Wu Qingbo clapped his hands and said anxiously: "How dare I ask you to protect me! I just asked you to let your majesty tell Zhang Juzheng, don't really deal with it according to the law. A fine of a salary or something is enough! Now that your majesty has not taken charge, everything still has to be done." It’s not a matter of your words, you are not even willing to do this, others say you are charitable, how come you are not charitable when you come to your biological father!”
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he turned around and left Queen Mother Li's bedroom, and told Zhang Jing and Zhang Hong, "You don't have to listen anymore."
Then, after Zhu Yijun returned to his palace, he told Zhang Jing: "Immediately send the memorial to impeach Uncle Wu Qing to the cabinet! Just say that this matter concerns relatives of the emperor and the country, and I am not in a position to make arbitrary decisions. I will ask the cabinet to draft it directly and impartially, and then You, the Chief of Ceremonies, will directly approve it."
Zhu Yijun had to admit that the young master could be bullied. Not only did the foreign ministers think that he was a child of the emperor, but even the emperor's relatives and other dignitaries would ignore the emperor and ignore the emperor's laws and regulations.
Wu Qingbo didn't have his grandson's interests at heart, and naturally his grandson didn't have to consider Wu Qingbo's feelings.
What's more, he is a time traveler, not the original Zhu Yijun, and his emotional ties to Wu Qingbo are not that heavy.
Moreover, Zhu Yijun also thought of the incident in the late Ming Dynasty when Zhou Kui, the head of the state of Chongzhen, dedicated his grandson to Li Zicheng.
He had to admit that sometimes relatives might not really care about their friendship.
What's more, people in Tianjia should be hard-hearted and not be kind to women.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun finally had no intention of talking to Wu Qingbo anymore, and even left the memorial to impeach Wu Qingbo until tomorrow after discussing it with Zhang Juzheng in the Wenhua Hall, but directly asked the Chief of Ceremonies to send it to the cabinet.
Zhu Yijun believed that Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, would understand that he meant that the cabinet should not worry about the emperor's mood.
cabinet.
"Uncle, what do you mean by this student (Zhu Nanyong)? Even if the examination is strict now and the border censor must report the exposed matters as soon as possible and is not allowed to hide them, he should not spread the matter about Uncle Wu Qing. Come out! I went directly to the Supervisory Committee without asking you first. Isn’t this likely to ruin the overall restructuring situation?”
Zhang Siwei was talking to Zhang Juzheng about this.
At this time, the eunuch in charge of the clerk's office personally delivered the memorial to impeach Wu Qingbo to Zhang Juzheng: "Our family is here on the order of Eunuch Zhang. It is the emperor's order to give this original copy to the cabinet for direct voting. It is planned that the remarks involve relatives of the country, and it is not convenient to make arbitrary decisions. I plan to submit the cabinet impartiality vote to the Secretary of Ceremonies for approval."
After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng handed over his hand and accepted the original book.
After Zhang Juzheng took the first copy, he smiled at Zhang Siwei and said: "Students who serve themselves know better."
Although Zhang Juzheng was talking about Zhu Nanyong, he was obviously also talking about Zhu Yijun.
As Zhang Juzheng said this, he personally wrote the draft plan for Zhu Nanyong's impeachment of Uncle Wu Qing. The draft included: reducing Uncle Wu Qing's rank, ordering him to be the commander of the Nanjing capital, taking his salary back to his hometown to live in leisure, and directly involving the border army. The eldest son of the person in charge of the case of substandard goods, Li Wenquan, the uncle of the state, was dismissed from his post and sent to Jizhou, where he was even pardoned and exiled.
Zhang Siwei watched from the side and was silent for a long time.
Zhang Juzheng gave the drafted memorial to the eunuch in charge of the clerk's office who was still waiting here.
After the eunuch in charge of the library left with the memorial, Zhang Siwei smiled at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Uncle is really upright and admirable. No wonder His Majesty is willing to trust Uncle so much!"
Zhang Juzheng just smiled lightly: "Ziwei's words are serious."
Not long after, the imperial edict was issued to the Ministry of Punishment.
Officials from the Ministry of Punishment also took people to Wu Qingbo's mansion to seize Wu Qingbo's eldest son Li Wenquan, and also announced to Wu Qingbo that he had been demoted and ordered to return to his hometown to live in leisure.
Zhang Juzheng asked Wu Qingbo to return to his hometown with the intention of protecting Wu Qingbo, to prevent Wu Qingbo from being influenced by other powerful officials in the capital and continuing to do bad things, which would affect the royal family's face. He stayed at his place of origin to avoid those who were close to him being blackmailed and being used as a pawn. Because the neighbors don't do evil things, they will not easily lose face to the royal family. Moreover, even if they ignore the friendship between the neighbors and continue to act recklessly, everyone in the capital will not know about it.
Wu Qingbo naturally did not understand Zhang Juzheng's intentions. After hearing the order to execute him, he froze on the spot, trembling and wanted to curse, but in the end he just pursed his lips and cried: "I accept the order. "
Then, the sergeants from the Criminal Department took Li Wenquan over and began to shackle him.
Li Wenquan could not hold back as much as Uncle Wu Qing. While struggling, he cursed: "Zhang Juzheng, you are so cruel! You even dare to take away the title of our Li family! Aren't you afraid that my sister will be angry?!"
"Zhang Juzheng, just wait! You can only reduce our title now, but His Majesty will restore it for us in the future! And you will only be worse than us in the future! Your family may be ruined!"
Li Wenquan continued to curse.
Snapped!
Wu Qingbo slapped Li Wenquan directly: "Shut up!"
Li Wenquan was stunned on the spot.
Wu Qingbo then handed over to the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and said: "I was rude for a moment. Please send a message to Yuan Fu. Don't argue with us. For the sake of the empress!"
The official from the Criminal Department nodded and asked the sergeant to put shackles on Li Wenquan and escort him away.
But Wu Qingbo gritted his teeth and cursed after the officials from the Ministry of Justice and his son left: "Zhang Juzheng! You are really domineering, you don't even give me face! I thought that without Feng Bao, you would be more restrained, but now that I think about it, Either Zhang Hong or Zhang Jing is colluding with you again, so that you still dare not to take His Majesty and the Empress in your eyes!"
