On this day, heavy snow suddenly fell in the capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the snow fell, it was cold, and the palace maids and eunuchs were all rubbing their hands and looking at the new snow with a smile.

Outside the warm pavilion of the Wenhua Palace, the snow fell silently.

The warm pavilion is connected to the earth dragon, but it is as warm as spring.

The Son of Heaven just wore a single dress and paced in the warm pavilion, while Gao Huai, the eunuch who served on the side, read the recital presented by the clerk's room to the Son of Heaven.

Now Gao Huai is reading Li Wei, Marquis of Wuqing, and Shangshu resigned from the position of marquis.

After the incident of the hundred officials knocking on that day, the reputation of the Empress Dowager Li has fallen to the bottom.

The ministers no longer have much regard for this former high-ranking Empress Dowager, and they are now busy falling into the ground.

After all, Empress Dowager Li is the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, and the officials still have some face, but they are not polite to the officials of Wuqing Marquis Li Wei.

In the end of the Ming Dynasty, officials have always been able to beat their relatives, and they will never be around.

On the second day after the incident of the hundred officials, the impeachment of the Marquis of Wu Qing by the Imperial Historical Observatory came like snowflakes.

If you want to talk about the handle of Marquis Wu Qing, it is simply everywhere.

In the fifth year of Wanli, Li Wei, the Marquis of Wuqing, was only Wu Qingbo. At that time, he dared to do it, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp spent the winter in cotton clothes, which caused dozens of soldiers to freeze to death, and the Beijing camp army mutinied. The mutiny incident was brought to the attention of the world, and Wu Qingbo Li Weidun was impeached by officials.

But the matter was so big that it caused a mutiny, and the Queen Mother only pretended to send a lieutenant envoy to reprimand Li Wei a few words, and there was no specific punishment for the rest. On the contrary, because of this, all the officials below Zhang Juzheng praised the Empress Dowager Li, did not protect her family, and also got the name of virtuous.

But this time is different, Zhang Juzheng is no longer there, and the Queen Mother has no support in the court.

This time, the official bluntly said that Li Wei, the Marquis of Wuqing, and his two sons were eroded, and the scale of his residence 'Li Yuan' was so vast that it was simply extravagant.

It is written in the chapter that Li Yuan from the famous stone production place Lingbi, Taihu Lake, Jinchuan transported all kinds of strange stones, another 20 miles of willow embankment, 10 million kinds of famous flowers, thousands of peonies, 10,000 peonies, has the reputation of the willow embankment flower sea.

The Li Garden of the Marquis of Wuqing, the heavy lake before and after, a misty view, is the first famous garden under the capital...... If we talk about water, the north of Jianghuai should also be the first.

According to the author, the original site of Li Yuan, which was repaired by Li Wei, was later Tsinghua Garden.

The Son of Heaven doesn't know if he doesn't see it, and he is startled when he sees it.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, under the nose of the Son of Heaven, the Li Garden built by Li Wei, Marquis of Wuqing, is not only the first in Beijing, but also the first in Jiangbei, and even the imperial garden of the imperial palace has been compared.

How greedy have Li Wei and his son been in the past ten years? How much money did you get into ink? That's why it's such a luxurious garden.

If it weren't for Yanguan poking this matter out, the Son of Heaven would probably have been kept in the dark for the rest of his life.

King Lu's wedding cost 6 million, and his maternal grandfather Li Wei blatantly built such a luxurious garden at the foot of the Son of Heaven.

And who connived at all this?

"I can't wait to order Jinyiwei to raid his house right now to see how much silver Marquis Wu Qinghou has embezzled in the past few years."

The Son of Heaven almost gritted his teeth and spoke.

Gao Huai hurriedly persuaded: "Marquis Wu Qing is His Majesty's relative after all, if you want to raid your home, please think twice." ”

The Son of Heaven sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that Wuqing Marquis Li Wei was my grandfather, you would have thought that I would let him go." But what else can be done now? King Lu just took out four million taels, and I want to raid Marquis Wuqing's house again? I really couldn't hurt the Queen Mother's heart anymore, so I had to give up. ”

Gao Huai persuaded: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has already decided to be honored, and now Marquis Wuqing will not dare to commit this matter again, but Marquis Wuqing has resigned from the Marquis, how will Your Majesty deal with it?" ”

The Son of Heaven said: "How does the cabinet vote?" ”

Gao Huai said: "The cabinet said that this is a family matter of His Majesty, and he does not dare to vote." ”

The Son of Heaven has been dealing with Zhang Siwei and them for so long, the cabinet knows how to figure out what he means, and the Son of Heaven also knows what the ministers are planning in their hearts.

In the past, it was not that there were no officials who impeached Marquis Wu Qing, but such a concert, the cabinet would generally write on the vote, and this system was nothing.

Now that the Queen Mother has been defeated, the attitude of the cabinet has become ambiguous, not so much throwing the ball to the Son of Heaven, but saying that Zhang Siwei means that the set that was tolerant of Wu Qinghou in the past can no longer be used. The sky has changed, and now the rules need to be reset.

The Son of Heaven weighed left and right, and said hesitantly: "The title of Marquis of Wuqing remains unchanged, and I will give him a one-year warning." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Son of Heaven regretted it, and this was really not a wise decision.

Marquis Wu Qing built a mansion of such a scale, so only give a punishment of one year, which is equivalent to admitting the fault of Marquis Wu Qing here, but the punishment is too light there, and the officials will be unhappy and continue to admonish.

But if the punishment is increased, then the Son of Heaven will not be happy, and it will inevitably hurt the Queen Mother's heart again.

And not punishing it at all is not enough to warn Wu Qinghou, and it is not an explanation to the officials.

This is a dilemma, it is not a solution, and the Son of Heaven can't help but be depressed.

The Son of Heaven looked at Gao Huai, even if Gao Huai had an idea, he didn't dare to say it, so he could only kneel down and kowtow and say, "Your Majesty, you know that the slave is the most confused, and he doesn't dare to talk much." ”

The Son of Heaven said angrily: "It's really useless? Who is the rotating speaker outside the temple? ”

Gao Huai said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is Yu Shenxing and Huang Fengxiang. Did Your Majesty declare them in? ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he frowned and said: "Yu Shenxing is an upright gentleman, after hearing about this, he will definitely admonish the Marquis of Wuqing to seize the title and deal with it severely, no, no." ”

"As for Huang Fengxiang, this person has no plan, and he can't use it, so neither of them needs to declare."

Gao Huai can only say yes.

No one gave him advice, and the Son of Heaven could only sigh: "There is really no one who can solve my worries, how can you call me good?" If it was Zhu Geng, it would be good if Lin Yanchao was still there. Zhu Geng has a thorough plan, and he can list detailed plans in case of trouble, and give me detailed information one by one, while Lin Yanchao can have a plan, and every time he makes a statement, he can meet my heart. It's a pity that none of them are by my side at the moment, and Lin Yanchao was even dismissed by me and rushed back to his hometown. ”

The Son of Heaven sighed for a while, and he actually remembered Lin Yanchao's kindness.

Gao Huai listened to it in his ears, but he didn't dare to speak.

"Put this matter aside for the time being, and give me a few more recitals." The Son of Heaven commanded.

Gao Huai said yes, and then took a piece of music to read, this chapter is the impeachment of Li Gao, the son of Li Wei, the Marquis of Wuqing, and his servants, riding horses on the royal street, and killing three passers-by.

"How can this be reasonable," the Son of Heaven angrily pushed the table and scolded, "How many bad things Marquis Wu Qinghou has done behind my back in the past few years. ”

"Xuan Zhang Cheng!" The Son of Heaven was extremely angry, and suddenly commanded Gao Huai.

Gao Huai was stunned, and immediately ordered someone to find Zhang Cheng.

Soon Zhang Cheng entered the room and said, "Minister Zhang Cheng knocked to see Your Majesty." ”

The Son of Heaven said: "Get up and speak first." ”

After Zhang Cheng thanked him, he bowed down and stood aside.

"On that day, you went to the edict to Lin Yanchao, how did he say it, you made it clear to me, you must not miss a word?"
