Chapter six hundred and seventeen: people are more powerful
Faced with Queen Zhang's anger, Zhou Cheng was actually a little timid.
In fact, if Zhou Cheng just wanted to turn against Liu Chengfeng at the beginning, he would never have thought that things would evolve to the point of angering Queen Zhang.
In fact, if you just look for the bad luck of Liu Chengfeng, no matter how unhappy Queen Zhang is, she will not lose her composure.
The biggest problem is that Queen Zhang said that Liu Chengfeng was a wise minister and had made contributions. How long has it been since someone stood up and overturned her Queen Zhang's words. In front of so many people, wouldn't it be Zhang?
The queen has no wisdom to recognize people?
Queen Zhang is also a shameless person. Whenever she encounters such a thing, anyone else will have a temper.
Zhou Cheng was not unaware of Queen Zhang’s thoughts, but at this point, even if he retreated, it would be useless. He coughed, faced Queen Zhang’s questioning, and looked righteous and said, “Stop the anger, I’m awesome.
It was said that it was not groundless. A few days ago, His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of Liu Chengfeng. The Censorate found that Liu Chengfeng was not only suspected of taking credit, but also raising private soldiers to try to be inappropriate."
Wow...
The whole hall was in an uproar.
Many people have already felt that Zhou Cheng was planning to break the can and say such explicit words here, either Liu Chengfeng was broken into pieces or he was unlucky, the Zuodu Censor. Look at this, they are more than just
In a fight openly and secretly, it is simply a matter of never ending.
Queen Zhang was stunned. After all, she was a woman, and her anger disappeared all of a sudden. She was a very smart person. How could she not know that once the minister involved such a thing, she would definitely not be able to ask about it. Her eyes
Leaving it on Zhu Youting, waiting for Zhu Youting to make an idea.
Zhu Youting's face became cold. If someone impeached Liu Chengfeng and made a ill-intentioned plot, it would be fine. But the person who impeached was the Zuodu Censor of the Censorate, it would be completely different. The ill-intentioned plot is a serious crime that implicated the nine clans, not necessarily.
In terms of fact, who dares to talk nonsense easily?
He first glanced at Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng's face was quite calm, but it was not much better. Looking at Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng looked like he was gritting his teeth. He must have made up his mind.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Youzhe said: "The court has promised five guards to the fief of Duke Lian. However, Liu Chengfeng did not fill the guards, so where did he raise private soldiers? As for the new army, although it was also created by him.
But the Ministry of War has been inquiring about it, and the prince has been urging the new army to train. Could it be that the new army is Liu Chengfeng's private soldier? Zhou Cheng, I think you are old and occasionally say a few nonsense.
It is understandable. If you are the Zuodu Censor, but you know the law and violate the law and falsely accused the minister, I will have to deal with it. I ask you again, is there any evidence you said just now?"
"Yes..." Zhou Cheng plucked up his courage. He looked at Zhu Youzhang and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am ordered to investigate Liu Chengfeng's achievements. However, later, I found that Jubao Trading Company was a little strange. Lianzhou
There, the imperial envoy said that the escorts of the merchants had nearly 100,000, and were equipped with new firearms. They were also rushing to build warships, whether they were merchant ships, cargo ships, or warships, all equipped with artillery."
"It's not just these. I also found that Jubao Merchant is a crime. After going to sea, it often plunders the fleets of various countries, which prevents the merchant ships of various countries from entering the sea. The blue sea is thousands of miles away, and only Jubao Merchant Merchant Merchant Merchant's fleet is alone, but it is also monopolized.
In addition, in order to plunder the land, the fleet actually directly asked various countries for rent, which was called rent, but in fact it was very low, which made a lot of minerals.
The land along the coast belongs to it. Japan, Annan and other countries have repeatedly conquered the war recently, and the imperial court has repeatedly sent envoys to mediate, so that the various vassals of Japan, Annan and its neighbors should be as harmonious as possible to avoid the disaster of life. However, this treasure merchant business
But they fanned the flames and not only did not cooperate with the court to show their grace, but instead sold firearms, causing them to fight endlessly."
Zhou Cheng became more and more excited as he spoke, and said viciously: "Jubao Trading Company is called our Ming Trading Company, but in fact it is a tiger and wolf. Mercenaries are independent, bullying all countries, showing off their power, what kind of business is called? Your Majesty, today they can show off their power to the Ming vassal states,
So tomorrow, when their wings are ready, who can guarantee that they will not be disconnected from the court? And this business was created by Liu Chengfeng, and has always followed Liu Chengfeng's horse. What is Liu Chengfeng doing?
What is the purpose of a hundred thousand elite soldiers?"
Zhou Cheng said passionately, but he looked a bit stern. Some ministers were even moved. They never cared about the business business, but when they heard the whole story of Jubao Business Business, they realized that
It's so ridiculous.
Zhu Youting's face looked very bad. In fact, he knew the guards of Jubao Trading Company. Liu Chengfeng dared not hide it. He had already reported it, saying that it was a caravan everywhere and the fleet was walking outside.
In a foreign country, if no one protects it, how can we ensure safety?
There are dozens of caravans under the business, some of which go to Watshu, some of which are Tatars, and some of which go to North Korea through Liaodong. As for Japan and South China countries, they all have caravans responsible for it. Such a huge caravan is needed
There were naturally many guards, and Zhu Youzhang didn't care too much at that time, but now after hearing so many ridiculous things, his face was a little unbelievable and a little angry.
Zhou Cheng kowtowed heavily and said, "Everything that I said is true, please let Your Majesty observe clearly."
Zhu Youzhang didn't say anything, with a gloomy face, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Chengfeng and said slowly: "Liu Chengfeng, is everything he said true?"
Liu Chengfeng hurriedly bowed and said, "The shopkeepers, lawyers, accountants, secretary, mates, guards, grooms, sailors, etc., are as large as 150,000 yuan. The scale is no less than
When Emperor Wen was the eunuch of the Three Treasures, some criminals did evil in the name of caravans, but what Master Zhou said was really too exaggerated."
Liu Chengfeng admitted a little guilty, but most of the guilty was never admitted. Once he admitted it, the matter of raising private soldiers to do evil will be confirmed. This is a serious crime and he cannot afford it.
Zhou Cheng sneered and said, "Is it just some people who do evil? Humph, Liu Qianshi is too evading the important ones."
Liu Chengfeng did not refute him. He did not show any fear on his face, but instead felt a little satisfied, and did not seem to take Zhou Cheng to heart.
Seeing this, Zhu Youzhang was actually not sure about it. This week, the ingredients clearly wanted to check the business bank. The problem is that the Royal family owns a large share of the business bank and pays a lot of dividends every year, not in Jubaolou.
Next, Zhou Cheng is looking for bad luck in the business, so he naturally follows the clues and finds the old Zhu family.
However, he had to pay attention to this matter, especially in front of so many people, he had to ask Liu Chengfeng again. Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Heling, Hou of Shouning, suddenly jumped out and shouted: "Zhou Cheng, are you talking nonsense?
Eight ways, what is avoiding the most important thing is that the business has always been in good manners and bringing wealth through harmony. Can there be evidence for what you said?"
No one had ever thought that it was Liu Chengfeng's business, but Zhang Heling was so 'loyal'. He was the first to jump out. His actions were beyond everyone's expectations. Zhang Heling's eyes were red.
The deputy and Zhou Cheng looked irreconcilable, and sneered again, saying, "Although you are an envoy, you should know that you have to tell evidence in everything. You said that the business oppressed all countries, but why didn't the various vassal states write letters to complain?
What is the proof of the caravans secretly looting caravans in other vassal states? Also, the caravans rent land from various countries to use it to lay down the fleet and dock. Is there anything wrong with this?"
He refuted Zhou Cheng in one breath. Zhou Cheng was about to continue speaking, but even Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling stood up and sneered: "I heard that the Zhou family is a large family in Jiangnan, and their tribesmen are also in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area.
The powerful, in the past, went to sea without regard to the ban and made huge profits. Could it be that the Jubao Business Company is now unable to smuggle goods, so you are resentful and take the opportunity to retaliate?"
This sentence is also considered vicious. Since Zhou Cheng turned his face, the brothers had no scruples and said whatever they wanted.
In fact, many wealthy families in Jiangnan have participated in the smuggling incident. The Zhou family is not too much to say, but they have indeed participated in some stocks and escorted some private ships. This is very common in the court.
The phenomenon is now exposed by this Zhang Yanling without hesitation, which makes Zhou Cheng speechless.
Zhou Cheng said in anger and shamelessly: "Nothing, nonsense..."
"What nonsense? The surname Zhou is. You are clever and slandering and accusing others of innocence, but you are not upright and don't know what your intention is!" This time, the Duke of Chengguo, who has always had no friendship with Liu Chengfeng, was actually Zhu.
Fu, Zhu Fu is the great-grandson of Zhu Neng, a great hero of Emperor Wen during the Jingnan period. He inherited the title of the ninth year of Hongzhi. He was ordered to defend Nanjing and lead the Governor's Office of the Central Army. He has only recently returned from Nanjing and is considered a powerful figure among the royal relatives.
Who would have thought that even Zhu Fu jumped out and attacked Zhou Cheng angrily.
A year ago, Zhou Cheng served as the left censor of the Censorate in Nanjing, and Zhu Fu was in Nanjing Central Army Governor's Office. In short, the two had some friendship when they were in Nanjing. Although they were not deep, they met.
The person always nodded and said hello. Who knew that here, Zhu Fu turned against him and directly targeted Zhou Cheng.
If it were only Marquis of Shouning and Bo Jianchang at the beginning, Zhou Cheng would not be afraid this time, but when Zhu Fu stood up, he was a little panicked.
Next, many royal relatives and princes and nobles actually slapped the tables and stood up one after another, all of whom were accusing Zhou Cheng.
