Chapter 31 Respectfully invite His Majesty the Holy Inquisition
"Father, please calm down. They moved the money overnight because they were frightened by Bi Xiuzhi's incident and were afraid that the eunuchs would follow suit."
"You're stupid too!"
Zhang Shoufu was very angry.
I was so hung up that I almost couldn't catch my breath.
"Even if the eunuchs want to imitate others, they have to go to court!"
"If they come to me, I have plenty of ways to prevent the young emperor from going to court. How can the eunuchs follow suit if they can't see the rightful owner who has been deceived?"
"If we transfer the money when the time comes, we won't have time!"
"Who are these idiots who proposed transferring the money tonight? Forget it, the Yinyin convoy has already been caught as an assassin, so what's the use of pursuing this further?"
Zhang Shoufu sighed dejectedly.
If it hadn't been for Zhang's party being distracted this morning and unable to get together to discuss, why would these extremely stupid things have happened?
"Dad, it's not their fault. Who would have thought that there would be another assassin..."
Zhang Shoufu rolled his eyes in anger again.
"How could I have a son as stupid as you!"
"Assassin or not, isn't this all a matter of the castrated dog's words?"
"Everything happened tonight is clearly a trap set up by the castrated dog and Fan Song! You haven't been able to see it until now. Do you have any brains?!"
"Were you born to me?"
Zhang Shoufu has serious reasons to suspect that he was cheated on decades ago!
"Dad, what should we do now?"
"Prepare a memorial to go to court! Didn't it mean that someone in the Eunuch Party also transferred money and was caught as an assassin? We have suffered heavy losses, and the Eunuch Party cannot even think about it easy!"
"Let these idiots die together with the eunuchs!"
Go to court the next day.
"Your Majesty, a minister came to the palace last night to make a donation. But who knew that assassins were mixed in... During the city-wide search, Xichang discovered a large number of suspicious bank vehicles in the city."
"After verification, they all belong to the ministers of the DPRK and China...a total of twenty-three people!"
Wang Zhonghou has just finished his report.
Fan Song, the second assistant, immediately came out: "Your Majesty, these people have hundreds of thousands of silver, but they deceive Your Majesty that they are poor! This is the crime of deceiving the emperor! They deserve to be killed!"
"His Majesty……"
"His Majesty……"
The members of the Eunuch Party came out one by one, and all seventeen members of the Zhang Party were present.
Zhang Shoufu was naturally unceremonious.
"Your Majesty, veteran..."
Six in a row, adding up to exactly twenty-three people.
Zhu Youde listened from a high position.
There was silence for a long time.
Only then did he let out a sigh of extreme disappointment, as if he had been seriously deceived.
"I once thought that all the saints would be in full force, but I never expected that this would be the case..."
"It's just some villains who deceive the Holy Spirit. Your Majesty, please don't be too sad. I believe that all the ministers in Fengtian Palace at this moment are loyal to Your Majesty and can shine the light of the sun and the moon."
"Zhang Shoufu is right!"
"As for Zhang Shoufu, how do you think these people who deceive the emperor should be dealt with?" Zhu Youde still looked like he had great faith in Zhang Shoufu.
However, most of the twenty-three people who were arrested for bullying were members of the Zhang Party.
How dare Zhang Shoufu make suggestions?
Looking at the disappointed and sad look of the emperor, I'm afraid he won't be able to appease him if he doesn't kill him. If he suggested a pardon, the emperor's trust in him would probably be greatly reduced.
Why should he harm his own interests for some loser?
Zhang Shoufu can’t say that those who deceive the emperor deserve to die!
Unless this is the heart of the party, he will not want it in the future.
so.
Zhang Shoufu could only say respectfully.
"Your Majesty, these twenty-three people have offended the power of God and deceived Your Majesty. Naturally, they all rely on His Majesty's Holy Judgment!"
"As ministers, how can we overstep my authority?"
When the members of Zhang's Party heard this, they all looked at the back of Zhang Shoufu, who was as generous as an old father.
The little emperor was so merciful yesterday.
Zhang Shoufu's answer shows that he still loves those of us who are members of the Zhang Party.
"Let me decide?"
"Referring to Zhang Shoufu's suggestion yesterday, let's follow the law of Daliang and kill them all!"
What the hell?
All beheaded?!
All the ministers were shocked!
"Retreat!"
As soon as Sishi arrived, Zhu Youde went down to court on time.
And the fate of twenty-three unlucky fools was decided without any precaution.
Members of Zhang's party were dumbfounded.
He looked at Zhang Shoufu, who was standing at the front and was also confused.
"Master Chief Assistant, please say something! The lives of twenty-three ministers were just lost?"
"That's right, Zhang Shoufu! The emperor trusts you the most. It's precisely because you asked Bi Xiuzhi and three others to be killed yesterday that the little emperor took it as a reference today."
"You can't ignore it!"
Zhang Shoufu now had questions in his head.
He didn't say anything!
Why did it end up being his fault again!?
Regarding the life and death of the twenty-three people, the officials did not discuss it for too long.
Because instead of discussing a bunch of losers who have to be exiled even if they don't die, why not discuss the twenty-three free pieces of fat!
Whether it is the Zhang Party, the Eunuch Party, or the Loyalist Royalist Party, which has recently grown in number.
Everyone is gearing up.
Want to push your own people into these positions.
The powerful Zhang Party is also divided into various small groups with conflicting interests.
Zhang Shoufu had no choice but to lament that it was becoming increasingly difficult to lead the team.
Down towards the back.
Zhu Youde stood in the middle of Jingming Bridge.
Watch the fish under the bridge scramble to grab the bait under his drink.
The young eunuch reported that the ministers were still in Fengtian Palace, arguing over who should take over the twenty-three important positions.
A knowing smile.
"Just fight! This way the referee will have a chance to be a fisherman."
Zhu Youde said to himself.
Many complicated calculations flashed in his eyes.
But all of this was only reflected in the sparkling water, and only he could see it clearly.
The next few days.
Fengtian Hall was so noisy every day that they almost started fighting on the spot.
Targeting twenty-three positions.
I said that the person you recommended had bad conduct, and you said that my recommendation was not competent enough... In short, with the eunuchs deliberately stirring things up, there is no position where the successor can be determined.
Zhang Shoufu has been unable to sleep all night long these days.
One head is two big!
Fan Song refused to compromise, wanted to grab any position, and did not abide by the previously tacitly agreed rules of dividing the meat.
That's all.
After all, the old castrated dog bluntly said that he wanted to seize power!
In fact, what makes Zhang Shoufu even more troubled is that there are huge differences within Zhang's party regarding the candidates to take over various positions.
Not only did they make noise in the court, but they also made the eunuchs laugh.
After the next court, groups of three or five would make trouble at Zhang's house, causing Zhang Shoufu's brain to ache!
In order to prevent the eunuchs from taking advantage of the opportunity, and to prevent Zhang Dang from continuing to quarrel and become centrifugal, Zhang Shoufu had no choice but to file a memorial.
“Your Majesty’s Holy Judgment is respectfully requested!”
"Zhang Shoufu, you are also the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You can appoint and remove officials at your discretion. There are twenty-three positions. Do you want to annoy me to death?
As expected, the little emperor still found it troublesome as always.
Zhang Shoufu could only advise again: "Your Majesty is already past his prime, so it is appropriate for him to participate in political affairs appropriately."
"I know that Your Majesty is afraid of trouble, so I have written down three candidates for each position. Your Majesty can just choose based on his or her fortune. They are all pillars of the country, and they are all qualified!"
After all, they are all members of Zhang’s Party, and whoever becomes chief minister Zhang will not suffer any loss.
And because people are determined by the little emperor.
Those subordinates who failed in their struggle for power would not have any complaints against him, Chief Minister Zhang.
Zhang Shoufu's wishful thinking was coming to fruition.
But he saw Wang Zhonghou's old castrated dog whispering in the emperor's ear.
