Chapter 203 Putting a Curse on the Civil Service Group
As he spoke, Bai Gui took the lead to enter the palace and salute, "Bai Gui, a common man, bows to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. I bow to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Qiyu hummed, "No courtesy."
The Jin Yiwei commanded Zhu Xiang, the minister, to enter the palace, followed closely by Xu Lai from the thousand households in the Jin Yiwei Gongzhao Office.
Huguang Cheng announced that the political envoy Siyou, the political envoy Lu Yu, entered the palace, and the Miao king Yang Qi entered the palace.
Pretty normal.
But the people who entered the palace next made the ministers tremble in their hearts. There were a large number of people, including Huguang Chengxuan's political envoy Si Yamen, who participated in politics and consulted.
, Li Wen Suo Li asked, the Chief of the Prison Department, the Ambassador of the Treasury, the Ambassador of the Treasury, the Ambassador of the Arms Bureau and nineteen subordinate officials, plus the censor of Huguang and the officials of the Prosecution and Envoys Department, a total of twenty-four
people.
They happened to be the 24 people who jointly impeached Bai Gui!
Everyone takes off their official uniforms and wears iron shackles on their hands and feet.
It's like mourning an heir.
Although they all put on clean and tidy clothes, it was visible to the naked eye that the skin of these people's clothes were torn and bruised. They had obviously been well "entertained" by the Tiqi from Fusi in Jinyiwei North Town.
Tang Qing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, came out and said, "Your Majesty, what does this mean? How can the officials who announced the political affairs of Huguang City be punished and go to court?"
Zhu Qiyu looked innocent, "I don't know either."
Asked: "Lu Zhong, what's going on?"
Lu Zhong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, came out and said, "Even the humble ministers don't know that this matter was handled by the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Zhu Xiang, the envoy of Fusi Town in the North Town, was sent to handle it by the order of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Xiang and said, "Say it."
Zhu Xiang saluted, turned to Xu Lai and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, Xu Qianhu, tell the officials what you know."
Xu Lai immediately raised his hands and said: "Report to your Majesty, under the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince, I went to Huguang to secretly investigate the joint impeachment of Bai Gui. After a long visit and investigation, I found that most of the charges against Bai Gui were untrue. Gong Zhao
The institute then jointly handled the case with the Qianhu Office of Jinyiwei in Huguang, and invited the officials involved to the Qianhu Office for interrogation, and found out the truth. They also asked Huguang Chengxu Envoy Siyou Chief Envoy Lu Yu to provide evidence, and then they came to the conclusion.
So many guilty officials were hurriedly escorted back to Beijing."
Lu Yu knew it was time for him to express his stance.
He has no excuse for this. Even if he is a member of the civil service group, he must protect himself first.
Lu Yu once served as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. During the rebellion of Jianwen remnants in the ninth and tenth years of Jingtai, he served as the general military officer Yu Qian and the military governor of the army. After returning to Beijing, he was sent to Huguang to serve as the Right Chief Envoy.
It's a small step up.
The Minister of Household Affairs, who is the third-rank official, is transferred to the Right Chief Envoy, who is the second-rank official.
As for the amount of power, it's hard to say.
One is the Minister of Household Affairs with the second highest authority among the six central ministries, and the other is the local governor who ranks second among the feudal officials. They both have real power in their hands. The key is that after becoming the local chief envoy and returning to the capital, they will be among the seven ministers.
Equivalent to gold plating.
Lu Yu coughed and said: "As evidenced by the little minister, what Jin Yiwei investigated is true, and during the handling of the case, no one was beaten into submission."
Everyone slandered.
Didn't you surrender?
So where did the injuries on these officials come from?
Maybe he fell down on the road.
Miao King Yang Qi stepped forward and said in standard Mandarin: "We can also testify that Si Bai Gui, the former Huguang Chengxuan Envoy, worked diligently, loved the people, and repaired the relationship between the government and the people during his tenure. We, the Miao people, are all grateful to Bai Gui."
I don’t know why, in the mouths of some disloyal people, Bai Gui has become a criminal who colluded with the rebellious people and sold arms privately.”
Yang Qi also hurriedly cleaned himself up, otherwise he would not be able to act as a Miao king.
King Miao was just a title given to him by the Miao people.
Yang Qi has an official status, as the Superintendent of Huguang Bureau and Superintendent of Public Affairs.
Zhu Qiyu said yes and said to many officials from the Huguang Chengxuan Envoy Department: "First the Jinyiwei verified it, and now Lu Yu and Yang Qi have testified. The truth of the matter is revealed. Tell me, how did Bai Gui be framed, and who did it?"
Are you the mastermind behind this matter?"
A thorough investigation is needed.
Many civil and military officials looked at it and wondered when this happened. There were more than twenty people. If this matter was really investigated thoroughly, the Tang family's relatives would not be able to escape, and some of the Seven Qings would not be able to escape accountability either.
At critical moments, someone acts as a peacemaker.
Wang Wen, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, came out and said, "It is very inappropriate to interrogate many guilty officials one by one in the Fengtian Palace. Since the Jinyiwei has found conclusive evidence of the crime, the Jinyiwei will report it to the Ministry of Punishment. After the Ministry of Punishment makes a judgment, please ask Your Majesty to
The top priority is to quickly fill the vacancy in the Huguang Chengxuan Political Envoy Department."
Zhu Qiyu said nothing.
Zhu Jianji didn't say a word either.
The two fathers and sons knew clearly that it was of little significance to use this incident to rectify the civil servant clique in the court. After all, the civil servant clique would not be stupid enough to show up in person to hook up with local officials.
Unless there is an exchange of letters, nothing can be confirmed.
Yesterday, Xu Lai and Zhu Xiang had said that no correspondence evidence had been found, only witness evidence. This was very embarrassing. If there were only witness witnesses, the civil servants group could completely confuse black and white and say that they were framed.
It is better to let Wang Wenlai be the peacemaker.
There is only one purpose.
It is not necessary to investigate the matter of framed Bai Gui by officials in Huguang, but the civil service group in Gyeonggi must show some sincerity!
Therefore, the two fathers and sons did not take a stand, leaving the civil service group to take a stand.
Among the civil servants, Yao Kui, the Minister of Rites, Liu Xu, the Minister of War, Jiang Yuan, the Minister of Industry, and Wang Ao, the Minister of Personnel, are all talented people. Seeing that the emperor and the prince were silent, I guessed the reason.
There was no other way, so Liu Jue, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "I agree with what Wang Shangshu said!"
All the ministers agreed one after another.
As for the sincerity given to His Majesty and His Royal Highness, I will talk about it later. It is not easy to refuse to pay, otherwise it will break the rules.
When fighting against imperial power, the rules must not be broken.
Once the imperial power without rules and regulations goes crazy, no one will get any good results.
Zhu Jianji coughed and said, "Zhu Xiang and Xu Lai will take the guilty officials to the imperial edict. According to their culpability, the charges will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment. After the Ministry of Punishment judges them, they will be handed over to the East Palace!"
Put a tight spell on the civil service group.
If you don't express your sincerity, I will re-examine the case. By then, no Gyeonggi officials involved in the case will be able to escape.
Zhu Qiyu hummed, "Good!"
Agree that the Crown Prince will decide this matter.
As soon as the word "kindness" came out, the hearts of Tang's relatives felt as cold as ice, and the hands and feet of the civil service group were as cold as ice. Is the emotional conflict between you and your son for so long a joke?
The key is that His Highness the Crown Prince made his own decision, and His Majesty agreed without even thinking!
The prince was not allowed to assist the country before, but today he behaved like this.
conspiracy!
What a huge conspiracy!
Zhu Qiyu felt proud that his son's schemes and scheming were far better than his. The key was that if he guessed correctly, when the civil service group expressed "sufficient" sincerity, in order to make the civil service group, Hu Guangcheng announced that the two political envoys
More than ten people would lose their heads!
Use it as a warning to others.
Of course, some people in the civil service group may not survive that time - someone will have to lose their head to exchange reserves.
Zhu Qiyu said: "Bai Gui and Yang Qi should retreat first."
Bai Gui is dressed in white, and his current status is not suitable for participating in the imperial meeting.
Bai Gui bowed and left.
Zhu Qiyu added: "Huguang Chengxuan's political envoy Siyou, the administrative envoy Lu Yu, was deceived by his subordinates during the impeachment of Bai Gui and did not investigate himself, which led to his colleagues being tainted... um..."
Waiting for my son to speak up and deal with it.
Seeing this, Zhu Jianji said: "Just listen to the announcement and wait for trial."
Zhu Qiyu nodded.
Zhu Jianji said again: "Xuan Zhouqing, Cao Mu comes to see you!"
