After Han Yong and Peng Shi entered the Wuying Hall, they saluted Zhu Jianshen in the imperial seat, and then Zhu Jianshen let him stand down.
After the two people stood up, they consciously stood opposite Xu Youzhen.
This also proves an antagonistic relationship in the political situation.
Although there were more people in the hall, it became quiet.
Zhu Jianshen has been playing with a tea cup in his hand.
He hadn't played with these things for many years. Now he took one out of the treasure shelf in the Qianqing Palace and put it in his hand. To put it bluntly, he wanted to hide the uneasiness in his heart.
Liu Shang from the Criminal Department and the left and right ministers all followed Li Xian into the Wuying Hall.
The four of them knelt down and saluted.
"I love your life."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After saying that, everyone stood up. Li Xian and Liu Shang stood on Han Yong's side, while the left and right ministers, because of their lower official positions, had no choice but to stand by Xu Youzhen's side for the sake of appearance. In fact, they are repulsive in their hearts.
Wait until everyone is finished lining up.
Zhu Jianshen looked around and then said: "What is being discussed in the court today, Li Shoufu, what are your plans?"
"Your Majesty, I have identified an official to go to Xi'an Mansion to investigate the matter."
"who?"
"The newly appointed Shaanxi Provincial Supervisory Censor Liu Qingzong of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Li Xian replied.
Xu Youzhen's heart skipped a beat when she heard the name.
This guy has no luck. When he first entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he didn't give any face to his immediate superiors. He impeached Xu Youzhen and Wang Miao and others for six major crimes. A few years ago, it caused a commotion, but the emperor didn't care about Xu Youzhen. partial.
One of the six cardinal sins is arrogance, extravagance and misbehavior.
These are real.
However, when his impeachment memorial reached Zhu Jianshen, it did not even make waves.
Now Liu Qingzong is still the backbone of the Lichu faction. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a fool.
Zhu Jianshen was a little unfamiliar with this name. He read too many memorials every day, including many memorials impeaching Xu Youzhen. It was impossible for him to remember everyone's name.
"The Supervisory Censor has just taken office. Can he be qualified for such a big job?"
"Your Majesty, Liu Qingzong is not afraid of power, dares to fight against evil forces, and is magnanimous. What happened in Xi'an Mansion is what he told the ministers. Even if he is aware of it, he should teach him how to deal with it, but as your Majesty thinks in his heart, Worry, Liu Qingzong is only a sixth-rank supervisory censor. After arriving at Xi'an Mansion, he may not be able to intimidate Xiao Xiao. I kindly ask your majesty to only give Liu Qingzong the title of head of the punishment department or minister..." Li Xian said.
After Xu Youzhen heard Li Xian's words, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Qingzong has repeatedly petitioned your Majesty to appoint a prince. He often gathers people instead of discussing the affairs of the court. He confuses the public with his evil words and is extremely arrogant. He should not be entrusted with important tasks. Your Majesty, he should be entrusted with this important task." The industry will screen, select suitable people, and go to Xi'an for business." BIquGe.biz
Xu Youzhen's reaction was a little too big.
It is impossible for a small supervisory censor to have an impact on his status. It is somewhat abnormal for him to directly refute Li Xian's words without knowing anything about the affairs of the Xi'an government.
And just because of the abnormality, Zhu Jianshen also felt something strange. He turned his head subconsciously, only to find that the old Zhang Bao had long been replaced by a young eunuch...
If Zhang Bao were here, he would definitely tell Zhu Jianshen in detail about Liu Qingzong and many things with Xu Youzhen.
This will also allow Zhu Jianshen to make a preliminary judgment.
Zhu Jianshen looked at Xu Youzhen and then at Li Xian. After a moment of pause, he still said: "Censor of Xudu, how come this Liu Qingzong confuses the public with his monstrous words and how extremely arrogant he is."
Xu Youzhen heard the emperor's question and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Liu Qingzong is the person behind the matter of establishing the crown prince. The reason why His Majesty's voice of establishing the crown prince has been heard in the court for such a long time is because of Liu Qingzong's interference. play off."
And Li Xian sneered and looked at Xu Youzhen: "He is the censor, he is the one who speaks. If he talks too much, he will confuse the public with his evil words. I see, some people regard the Metropolitan Procuratorate as his three acres of land." The land is divided, and we can’t see others showing their talents.”
Li Xian and Xu Youzhen faced each other.
Peng Shi in the Wuying Palace, Liu Shang in the Criminal Department, and the ministers on the left and right lowered their heads and did not dare to speak for fear of being involved.
But Han Yong was not afraid. He never wanted to let go of the opportunity to confront Xu Youzhen.
"Your Majesty, I think what Li Shoufu said is reasonable. The Censor of Xudu has been in the Imperial Procuratorate for so many years and has always been aware of everything. If this Liu Qingzong is really the best, then the Censor of Xudu will definitely not keep this person here. In the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"When selecting talents for the imperial court, you can't just listen to one side of the story. Maybe Liu Yushi and Xu Du Yushi have some differences."
After Han Yong finished speaking, Xu Youzhen immediately became furious. If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty the Emperor was not in a good mood, she would have had a good practice with Han Yong.
At this time, Zhu Jianshen also understood something.
This Liu Qingzong must be at odds with Xu Youzhen. Over the years, Yan Guan's power has become smaller and smaller, all because of Xu Youzhen's existence.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate became Xu Youzhen's private residence, which many officials could not tolerate.
Li Xian's move was to push Liu Qingzong up to play opposite Xu Youzhen and break one of Xu Youzhen's arms.
"Then I will meet this Liu Qingzong..."
"Your Majesty..." Xu Youzhen wanted to say something, but his reason still stopped him. If he continued to speak, then the label that Li Xian and Han Yong put on him would be confirmed.
Li Xian is not a simple character. After so many years, he is the only one who can make Xu Youzhen suffer a small loss.
After this episode, Zhu Jianshen turned his attention to his old minister, Liu Shang, Minister of Punishment.
"Liu Shangshu, although I have left this matter to Li Shoufu, it is still a matter of the Ministry of Justice after all. Do you have anything to say? Also, the two ministers, please tell me why the Ming Dynasty In this world, such incredible things can happen..."
After listening to the emperor's words, the two ministers who could not hold their breath knelt down.
However, Shangshu Liu Shang maintained the demeanor of an important minister.
He was in charge of too many things, and not everything had to go through his hands. Even if what His Majesty the Emperor said was indeed true, he would at most be guilty of dereliction of duty and would not be able to hurt his bones.
"Your Majesty, it was the veteran's dereliction of duty. The veteran feels that a thorough investigation should be carried out. No matter who is involved, he must be dealt with strictly. Only in this way can the majesty of our Ming Law be preserved..."
"If your Majesty allows it, I would also like to go to Xi'an Mansion and ask the inspector of Xi'an Mansion how he handles the case."
Zhu Jianshen nodded and said with a smile: "That's a coincidence. The young official I'm talking about is the son of the inspector of Shaanxi..."
