Hu Lian and other officials couldn't help but look at Cui Ying with admiration after hearing this. Hu Lian cupped his hands towards Cui Ying and said: "Master Cui is indeed my loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. I don't expect anything.
If there are any mistakes or omissions, His Majesty and the Champion will definitely understand Mr. Cui."
Here Cui Ying and the others were chatting and laughing in low voices, but a few figures not far away turned their attention to Cui Ying and whispered about Cui Ying.
As one of the officials in the court who had a clear stance and firmly opposed Li Huan's tax reform, Wu Guangyuan, the minister of Dali Temple, was definitely one of the vanguards against Li Huan among the officials.
It can be imagined that with Wu Guangyuan here, these officials gathered around Wu Guangyuan were naturally the officials standing opposite Li Huan in the court.
Even because of Wu Guangyuan's status, he is qualified to stand with Wu Guangyuan. These officials are not bad in any status. There are not even officials below the third rank. They are definitely important ministers in the court.
Wu Guangyuan looked away from Cui Ying at this moment, then glanced at Li Huan and others in the distance, and finally looked at the people around him with a somewhat solemn look on his face and said: "Everyone, Your Majesty and Li Huan have already
I noticed that there was something wrong with the data reported by the Ministry of Household Affairs."
After hearing what Wu Guangyuan said, several officials present looked at each other, but there was no worry or nervousness on their faces.
I heard one of them speak slowly: "I have said before that it is not realistic to use this method to deceive Li Huan and His Majesty. With the intelligence of Your Majesty and Li Huan, they can definitely do it."
It seems that there is something wrong with the manipulated data.”
Wu Guangyuan smiled when he heard this and said: "It's just something I did casually. It's best if it succeeds. It doesn't matter if it fails. At least it can let Your Majesty know how many people in the world are opposed to tax reform."
With your attitude, your Majesty might be able to waver in your thoughts on tax reform."
A censor on the side stroked his beard and shook his head when he heard this: "That's what you said, but Li Huan has already sent Jin Yiwei to start investigating the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and even sent people to take away the account books to make it clear.
If you want to check the accounts, even though Cui Ying and the others are doing it extremely secretly, they will never be able to withstand the check. As long as they keep checking carefully, the fishy things will definitely be found out, and by then..."
Thinking of Fang Zhiming's imminent impeachment of Li Huan, although Cui Ying did not expect that Fang Zhiming's impeachment would do anything to Li Huan, she still had the ability to disgust Li Huan.
Among the officials, Cui Ying, who was standing there, looked at Fang Zhiming curiously, secretly wondering if Fang Zhiming had caught another clue about Li Huan this time.
All eyes fell on Fang Mingzhi. As the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Fang Mingzhi suddenly stood up at this time, which naturally made people very surprised. They secretly speculated that Fang Mingzhi wanted to impeach Li Huan.
?
It can be said that even Li Huan, the officials who impeached Cui Ying, had already made arrangements. Just waiting for a look from him, those people who had arranged long ago would immediately appear to impeach Cui Ying.
After all, there are only some people who dare not provoke Li Huan, and some people hate Li Huan even more. If these people have no chance, they all appear to be honest and do not go.
Looking for Li Huan's bad luck, but if they get a chance, they will definitely impeach Li Huan to death.
Even Li Huan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this, and glanced at Fang Zhiming with a bit of disdain, which meant that Fang Zhiming didn't have any murders or committed any major mistakes. Otherwise, he would have sent the Jinyi Guards long ago.
The people captured Fang Zhiming.
Under this situation, the clueless people naturally looked towards Li Huan subconsciously.
Li Huan didn't pay attention to the strange look from the emperor at all, and just stared at Fang Zhiming coldly.
As he spoke, the censor raised his head and looked at Wu Guangyuan and others and said, "If Li Huan seizes this opportunity to clean up the entire household department, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
With such thoughts flashing through her mind, Cui Ying even looked at Fang Zhiming with some expectation, waiting for Fang Zhiming to speak to impeach Li Huan.
Li Huan obviously noticed this, so he looked at Fang Zhiming with a bit of amusement.
Nodding slightly, Chen Kaitai nodded towards Wu Guangyuan and said, "It's good that Mr. Wu has an idea."
Just now, he was worried that Cui Ying would become Li Huan's excuse to attack the Ministry of Household Affairs, but now Fang Zhiming suddenly stood up to impeach Cui Ying, which forced Chen Kaitai to guess Fang Zhiming's intentions.
These officials were not sure how to react for a moment. Should they stand up and impeach Cui Ying and others according to Li Huan's previous instructions, or should they wait and see what happens.
While he was talking, there was a loud sound in the distance, and everyone suddenly became excited. Suddenly, they saw the Emperor Luanjia slowly approaching.
Fang Zhiming immediately bowed to the emperor with a serious face and said: "Your Majesty, Fang Zhiming, the supervisory censor, impeached Cui Ying, a doctor in the household department, and fourteen officials including Wang Bangguo, took advantage of their powers to falsify data.
In order to prevent the imperial court from implementing tax reforms, I request your Majesty to order a strict investigation of Cui Ying, Wang Bangguo and others."
Wu Guangyuan was not surprised by Chen Kaitai's reaction. He just smiled at Chen Kaitai and said, "Chen Shilang can rest assured that Wu has his own arrangements for this matter and will not give Li Huan the opportunity to clean up the household department.
"
"It must be that Fang Zhiming took refuge in Li Huan, so he stood up to impeach Cui Ying. Otherwise, there is no way to explain Fang Zhiming's actions."
If Fang Zhiming came forward not to impeach Li Huan, then they would be surprised.
After all, if the actions of Cui Ying and the others are taken to be serious, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor, which can destroy the family and the clan. If it is taken to be light, it is naturally like what Fang Zhiming said, it is an unintentional act of negligence.
Failure, at best, can be regarded as a crime of dereliction of duty.
As the emperor sat down, everyone paid homage to the emperor.
"Isn't Fang Zhiming making a mistake?"
Chen Kaitai, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice who just spoke, frowned and said: "If Li Huan uses Cui Ying and the others as a breakthrough to clean up the household department and put his own people in the household department, then this time will really be a great opportunity.
.”
If Li Huanhui believed in the statistics compiled by people like them, regarding things related to the fundamentals and foundations of tax reform, he didn't quite believe it.
The representative among them is Fang Mingzhi. During this period, whenever this person stood up for impeachment, nine out of ten times he came for Li Huan. It can be said that all the civil and military officials present were used to it.
After the initial surprise, many people calmed down now. They looked at Fang Zhiming, who looked serious, and secretly guessed Fang Zhiming's intentions.
Among the hundreds of officials, several officials who had been arranged by Li Huan and Wang Yangming early and waited for Li Huan and Wang Yangming's signal to come forward to impeach Cui Ying now had blank expressions on their faces. Looking at the upright and awe-inspiring officials,
Fang Zhiming, look at Cui Ying not far away with a look of disbelief on his face.
Naturally, Jin Yiwei's big move couldn't be hidden from the officials of the Manchu Dynasty who had already been watching his every move. He ordered Jin Yiwei to bring back the account books and land data submitted by the Ministry of Revenue. Anyone who is not a fool would know his purpose.
.
Li Huan, who saw through Fang Zhiming and others' plan at a glance, couldn't help but admire Fang Zhiming and others' decisiveness.
Qiu Ju stood there with a solemn look on his face: "Every official will come to play if there is something to do, but will retire if there is nothing to do."
When Dongfang Bubai broke into the imperial city before, these people seemed to have been given blood. The memorials to impeach Li Huan came one after another. They were basically impeaching Li Huan to death.
Others don't know, so doesn't he still know the relationship between Fang Zhiming and Wu Guangyuan? They are classmates and the same age. It can be said that they are definitely close in the court, and they even have the same stance on many things.
Advance and retreat at the same time.
You must know that no matter what Cui Ying said, she was a member of the civil service group and was also an official who opposed Li Huan. In this court, she and Fang Zhiming could be regarded as like-minded companions, but Fang Zhiming actually stood up among them.
The impeachment of Choi Young is a bit unbelievable no matter how you look at it.
When Fang Zhiming said this, many officials also reacted and breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, they were worried that Fang Zhiming had taken refuge with Li Huan. Now it seems that Fang Zhiming is not impeaching Cui.
Cui Ying and others are here, it is clear that we are retreating in order to advance, and we must protect Cui Ying and others.
However, Li Huan was also a little curious now, what did Fang Mingzhi want to impeach him this time.
Not to mention someone from the civil service group, it was Li Huan. The emperor was also stunned by Fang Zhiming's impeachment. He even cast a look at Li Huan, and the meaning in his eyes seemed to be
Speaking of which, it is really strange that Fang Zhiming did not impeach Li Qing this time.
While speaking, Chen Kaitai looked at Wu Guangyuan, and judging from his facial reaction, he seemed to be quite disapproving of Wu Guangyuan and others for arranging Cui Ying to make false accounts.
"Damn it, didn't Fang Zhiming want to impeach Li Huan? Why did he suddenly impeach one of his own people?"
They have already talked to this extent, and Wu Guangyuan is still so confident. They naturally choose to believe Wu Guangyuan. After all, Wu Guangyuan must also know what will happen to them once Li Huan cleans the household department.
Impact.
As soon as Fang Zhiming's words came out, almost everyone present was stunned. They looked at Fang Zhiming in shock and disbelief, as if they couldn't believe that the words to impeach Cui Ying came from Fang Zhiming's mouth.
.
Originally, he didn't agree with tampering with those data. After all, he also knew that since Li Huan and Wang Yangming were determined to carry out tax reform, they would definitely attach great importance to the data of Tianmu and Dingkou, let alone in the field.
The data had been manipulated, but even if it was not touched, he dared to say that Li Huan would definitely send someone to verify the data of those fields and Dingkou in person.
Zhu Houzhao looked at all the officials present with a calm face. As Qiu Ju finished speaking, he saw an official standing up immediately. The man spoke directly: "Your Majesty, I am supervising the censor Fang Mingzhi. Something has happened."
Play."
So Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Zhiming and said calmly: "Tell me."
You must know that he had already agreed with the emperor, Wang Yangming and others to use this court meeting to let the officials who had already been arranged to come forward to impeach Cui Ying, and then the emperor would nod and order the Jin Yiwei to capture Cui Ying and others.
Among the crowd, Wu Guangyuan looked at Fang Zhiming, who stood up to impeach Cui Ying in a blockbuster, with a faint smile on his lips. Judging from his reaction, it seemed that everything was as he expected.
Seeing Wu Guangyuan's confident look, Chen Kaitai and others who were a little worried at first breathed a sigh of relief.
However, no one in Li Huan expected that the Civil Service Group would detonate the Ministry of Household's thunder before him, and even vaguely hinted that the mistakes committed by Cui Ying and others were just a moment of negligence, not a deception.
The crime of deceiving the emperor.
Wu Guangyuan said calmly: "Li Huan wants to clean up the household department, but it depends on whether he has the opportunity."
For a moment, many officials present secretly speculated, and some even looked at Fang Zhiming in weird ways.
Because the Metropolitan Procuratorate fell into the hands of Li Huan several times, many supervisory censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate now subconsciously feel a little jealous when they see Li Huan, and many people even dare not provoke Li Huan.
Huan.
The emperor who was sitting there also looked at Fang Zhiming. Just as Li Huan was curious, the emperor was also curious about what label Fang Zhiming wanted to label Li Huan.
Under the attention of everyone, Fang Zhiming said again: "I ask that Cui Ying and other officials be handed over to the Third Division for investigation. Even if it is an unintentional mistake by Cui Ying and other officials, they must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."
It can be said that at every great court meeting, officials would stand up to impeach Li Huan and put various labels on Li Huan. So that at every great court meeting, Zhu Houzhao was somewhat accustomed to someone standing up to impeach Li Huan, even if
Zhu Houzhao was still a little uncomfortable if no one impeached Li Huan in any imperial meeting.
Chen Kaitai next to him also noticed Wu Guangyuan's expression at this moment. When he saw the smile on Wu Guangyuan's face, his heart moved and he couldn't help but look at Cui Ying and Fang Zhiming, and then look at them.
Wu Guangyuan and Chen Kaitai immediately looked like they suddenly understood.
Li Huan seemed to have noticed the gazes of several people. He looked at them, made a gesture to them as soon as his mind moved, and then nodded slightly.
The few people who didn't know how to react at first lit up when they saw Li Huan's gesture.
The next moment, several officials looked at each other, and they all took a step forward and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching Cui Ying, a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, for deceiving the emperor and neglecting his superiors. This is a heinous crime. This is a heinous crime."
Those who are so daring should be handed over to the Jinyi Guards for strict investigation."
