"I am wronged!" Cui Chengxiu shouted.
Yang Lian said angrily: "The evidence is conclusive, but you still dare to complain? Your Majesty, please take a look at it!"
As he spoke, he also took out a memorial and held it high above his head!
Wei Zhongxian looked gloomily and asked the young eunuch to pick it up and present it to Zhu Youxiao.
Li Banghua angrily scolded: "Yesterday you donated 100,000 taels of money and food in a big way! If you were not greedy, where did you get this much money?"
Cui Chengxiu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and said: "I have reduced my clothes and diet, and devoted all my family's efforts to helping the refugees. How dare you slander me for doing such good deeds! Your Majesty, I really have good intentions. Please give me your blessing." Cut it off!"
He is really not a human being at this moment. The corruption is real, but he dedicated it all to Wei Zhongxian. He would never dare to say this!
As for the one hundred thousand taels of silver, he was even more troubled. It was originally a good chess move that made him lose money, but Yang Lian didn't give him a chance! Now he only hopes that Wei Zhongxian can help him, and he also hopes that the emperor will speak for him for the sake of his donation of money and food.
Zhu Youxiao looked through it and found that the evidence in Yang Lian's memorial was conclusive. Cui Chengxiu had indeed embezzled more than 300,000 taels. He glanced at Wei Zhongxian with contempt.
An ugly forced smile appeared on Wei Zhongxian's face, and he nodded slightly in recognition.
"Cui Shilang embezzled the Bank of the Ministry of Industry. The evidence is conclusive and should be handed over to Yousi for severe punishment..."
Cui Chengxiu suddenly collapsed on the ground. Yang Lian and others were overjoyed!
"However, the fact that he used the proceeds from corruption to help the refugees shows that there is still something to be said for his intentions."
Zhu Youxiao spoke very slowly. He paused here, seeming to be thinking about how to make a conclusion.
Cui Chengxiu immediately became energetic. He raised his head sharply and saw Wei Zhongxian nodding slightly towards him. His heart moved. His Majesty probably wanted to put it down gently. This was his chance!
"Your Majesty! I am guilty!"
Cui Chengxiu knelt down and said: "I have spent all my remaining money on purchasing auspicious things! I was just confused for a moment. I hope Your Majesty, for the sake of my loyalty to Your Majesty, will give me a chance to make meritorious deeds!"
Zhu Youzhao wanted to go down the steps.
Yang Lian said angrily: "Absurd! What kind of auspiciousness is worth two hundred thousand taels! The people's wealth and wealth have been ruined by you, a sycophant! Your Majesty, please punish Cui Chengxiu severely!"
Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly and said: "Yang Fudu Censor, you have never seen this auspiciousness, how can you tell it is not worth two hundred thousand taels? Our family is lucky enough to have witnessed this auspiciousness, it is really priceless! How can it be a mere second One hundred thousand taels can be bought back!"
After he finished speaking, he said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, I think that although Cui Shilang was confused for a moment, he first helped the refugees and then bought Xiangrui. His merits outweighed his faults!"
Seeing Zhu Youxiao was about to nod, Yang Lian was so angry that he almost vomited blood! Seeing that Cui Chengxiu was about to be captured, who knew that Wei Zhongxian was referring to a deer as a horse and actually said that his merits outweighed his faults! Blood rushed to his head.
He said loudly: "This is wrong! What is this so-called auspiciousness? How can you judge it with your words! This court is not covered by Wei Zhongxian's hand! I will never agree! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please kill Cui Chengxiu. Heading towards Tsuna!"
Wei Zhongxian was also very angry. Yang Lian had been directly accused of his twenty-four deadly sins earlier, and he had already been torn apart. If His Majesty hadn't said that he wanted to calm down the court, Wei Zhongxian would have arranged the charges to arrest Yang Lian and others!
Wei Zhongxian laughed angrily and said, "That's not true. If you Yang Lian says it's not worth it, it's not worth it!"
"That's right! According to my understanding of the Governor, this auspicious sign must be priceless, I agree!" Zhang Ruitu, the Minister of Rites, Second Assistant Secretary, said.
The two big bosses of the eunuch party are gone, and the rest of the eunuch party all support loudly!
The Donglin Party, headed by Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Gao Panlong, the Yushi of Zuodu, also spoke out to wave the flag for Yang Lian!
For a while, the lobby was in chaos again, and there was a vague possibility of a repeat of the martial arts show that day!
This made Zhu Youxiao's face completely darken!
He was originally excited and prepared to show off his strength today, but he didn't know that the party struggle in the court was still fierce, and there were people who opposed everything he did!
Zhu Youxiao was angry and slapped the table!
"What a mess you've gotten into!"
When the ministers saw that the emperor was angry, they all became quiet.
Zhu Youxiao sneered and said: "It's true that empty talk is hurting the country! I object for the sake of opposition. That day I wanted to explain the machinery I made and set up the Ministry of Science and Technology. The ministers couldn't help but made it difficult for me to talk! If I made it The weapon can really benefit all people, but you are the ministers who are harming the country!
Today, Mr. Cui wants to show his auspiciousness, but you guys don't care about the facts and just accuse him! You judge something without seeing it! Is it reasonable? If this is always the case! It doesn’t matter if you don’t go up! "
The faces of the ministers varied.
Yang Lian and others all felt that the emperor was arrogant! Any machine that travels thousands of miles a day must be the emperor's boast! And the so-called auspiciousness of Cui Chengxiu, the eunuch's lackey, is even more of an act of flattery. What's the use of not seeing it?
But the emperor lost his temper and could not go to court, and they did not dare to really confront the young emperor, so they had to protest silently.
When everyone in the eunuch party saw that the emperor was angry with the Donglin party, they were all full of energy and flattered him one after another.
Zhu Youxiao felt agitated and a little tired. At this moment, someone said loudly: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Mr. Cui to present the auspiciousness for all the ministers to see!"
Zhu Youxiao looked over, but it was Zuo Guangdou again.
Yang Lian and others were very angry and looked at him angrily.
Cui Chengxiu was overjoyed and said: "Thank you Master Zuo for speaking up!"
Zuo Guangdou snorted and said: "I just agree with Your Majesty that empty talk will harm the country. If it is entangled, it is better to talk about it with facts! Mr. Cui, don't be sentimental!"
Cui Chengxiu was furious.
Zhu Youxiao said: "Zuo Qing is the one who understands! Cui Shilang, please present the auspiciousness!"
Cui Chengxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Zhongxian appeared in court and was carried in.
The two auspicious symbols are covered with red satin, which looks extremely luxurious! Wei Zhongxian had already made a calculation. Seeing the red sun rising, he deliberately placed two large mirrors in the sun at the door and adjusted the angle.
The ministers all turned around to look around, but they couldn't see the real thing, so they couldn't help but be extremely curious!
Cui Chengxiu knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is a wise king of the world. Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said, "Use copper as a mirror to correct your clothes; use the past as a mirror to know the rise and fall; use people as a mirror to understand gains and losses. I try to protect these three principles and guard against my own mistakes. "
Today, I present my clothes, hats and mirrors to enable the ministers to think about their own mistakes and work together to protect our Ming Dynasty forever! Your Majesty, if you get this robe and mirror, you will definitely be able to surpass the three emperors and be more virtuous than the five emperors! Become a wise king! I congratulate Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty! "
Yang Lian and others did not despise Cui Chengxiu's explicit words of flattery. This carpenter emperor was ignorant and nepotistic. How could he be compared with Taizong? Not to mention the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!
Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, Minister Cui's words are very kind. Please set up this mirror outside the square!"
Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "I want to take a good look at the auspicious reveal!"
The two young eunuchs carefully opened the red cloth, and suddenly bright rays of light shone directly into the palace. Everyone was dazzled and avoided them one after another. This ray of light extended directly to the throne, and a colorful rainbow suddenly appeared in front of the light. The end!
It was really dazzling, and the faces of all the ministers changed color.
Keshi, who had been watching with cold eyes, showed greed in his eyes, staring at the dressing table next to the dress mirror.
The robe mirror is engraved with famous officials such as Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Taizong, Wei Zheng, etc. There are also statues of Taizu who expelled the Tartars, restored China, and became the ancestor of the Five Expeditions of the Grassland.
The dragon and phoenix mirror is even more gorgeous, with dragons playing with phoenixes entwined in it. Even more ingenious is the bead on the top of the dressing table, with two dragons playing with a bead, emitting a charming light under the sunlight! Next to the mirror are a number of orbs of different sizes inlaid, which is extremely luxurious!
Zhu Youxiao laughed loudly, secretly praising Wei Zhongxian for his thoughtfulness and his unique appearance.
I also applaud Huang Xiao’s fantastic ideas!
Yesterday at Dahuang Village, Huang Xiao brought Zhu Youxiao and Cui Pinhua to a special audition. At that time, the two were shocked. The appearance of the ministers now made Zhu Youxiao secretly amused!
After Cui Pinhua came back early, he must have practiced repeatedly with Cui Chengxiu and Wei Zhongxian, and then he could become a blockbuster!
Zhu Youxiao walked forward in the light, crossed the colorful arch.
"Long live Long live Long live!"
Cui Chengxiu and others knelt down and shouted. Everyone in the hall, except Zhu Youxiao, knelt down in awe!
