The impeachment of Cui Hao is not strange, someone has impeached Cui Hao before, but it is all written and said, and it has never happened to tear it directly in the court like today.

In terms of Cui Hao's official position, he is also a minister at the prime minister's level, and it takes a lot of courage to impeach him, because once the impeachment fails, the next thing to face is Cui Hao's counterattack, after all, he is the prime minister, he is an important minister of the court, and he has a heavy responsibility, even if he is a relative of the emperor, he can't slander a prime minister casually without evidence, let alone a soldier who is just a small colonel.

Zhao Junsheng was also very surprised, this is the first time that someone dares to directly tear up Cui Hao in the court, since someone stands up and impeaches Cui Hao in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, he can no longer press down the chapter as before, this time it is not a book, but an impeachment in front of the court, he, the emperor, can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, he must give a positive response, the rules can not be messed up, the rules are messed up, and many things will be messed up.

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Huang Hongsheng, you want to impeach Cui Hao?" Do you know that he is the prime minister of the court, and he is an important minister of the court, if you slander the innocence of an important minister without conclusive evidence, do you know what it means? I encourage the ministers to impeach those ministers who know the law and break the law, it is precisely because they are in high positions and important positions that they must be more strict with themselves and fulfill their duties, which is beneficial to the court and the people, but I will never allow anyone to slander an important minister at will without evidence, they are all pillars of the country, how can they be slandered at will? You have to think about it! ”

Huang Hongsheng held the board and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has evidence!" This is recorded and sorted out by the minister over the years, and some are verified by the minister himself, this fold records seventy-two imperial courts, local officials, and lieutenant generals and colonels, a small number of them have formed allies with Cui Hao in the court, advancing and retreating together, most of them have been promoted by Cui Hao over the years, none of the officials and generals he promoted are ordinary civilians, all of them are children of the scholar family, and some are his old friends or nephews! ”

"After the minister's verification, after Cui Hao's promotion and appointment of officials and generals, eighty percent of them are nepotism, wanton accumulation of wealth, oppression of civilians and goodness, and do not think about how to seek well-being for the people under their rule on weekdays, only thinking about making money, eating, drinking and having fun, and abandoning government affairs! If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to verify, and if it proves that the minister really framed him Cui Hao, the minister is willing to die! ”

After Huang Hongsheng finished speaking, he took out a folding book from his big sleeve and raised it with both hands.

At Zhao Junsheng's signal, a eunuch walked over and took the fold and sent it to Zhao Junsheng.

Everyone nervously watched the fold being held in Zhao Junsheng's hand and looked at it carefully, Cui Hao's heart was also up and down, he did not deny that he had indeed promoted and recommended many people over the years, and they were indeed all members of the scholar clan, not to mention that not all of these people were national soldiers who could serve the country, but at least a considerable number of people's talents were recognized by him, but there were also some people who he did refuse because of his feelings.

"Well, the officials and generals who are promoted and appointed here are indeed from the scholar clan, Cui Hao, it seems that you still have a deep view of the door in your heart! I have long said that if you go back several generations, no one will be more noble than anyone! As long as he upholds a heart of loyalty to the country, as long as he has talent and dares to take responsibility, as long as he wants to show his ambitions, no matter his background, whether he is rich or poor, he can serve the country, no one is allowed to have a discriminatory attitude, and the court, the army, and officials at all levels must not be treated differently, and must not deliberately set the threshold for entry by birth. Cui Hao, you can't do this, you set a bad example for others! ”

Cui Hao hurriedly walked out and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" ”

"No, you didn't listen to what I said, you took it as a deaf ear!"

Cui Hao couldn't calm down now, and kowtowed again and again: "The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty!" The minister admits that he does have a view of the door, but the minister recommends and selects talents for the country, and has always adhered to the idea of being loyal to His Majesty, and never dares to have selfish thoughts! ”

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the fold and said: "Huang Hongsheng's impeachment of you records that a considerable number of the officials and generals you recommended and promoted are not talents, but people who harm the people, seek personal gains, and form parties for personal gain. Come on, show him! ”

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he handed the excerpt to a eunuch, and the eunuch took the excerpt and turned around and walked over and handed it to Cui Hao.

Cui Hao hurriedly took it and opened it, he looked at it at a glance, the more he looked at it, the darker his face became, and the beads of sweat on his forehead fell like raindrops.

After reading it, Cui Hao knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, it is not selfish for the minister to recommend talents for His Majesty, the minister has not received any gifts over the years, and has not received a penny of filial piety. The minister has followed His Majesty for many years, and has always been loyal, and has no two hearts, and please let Your Majesty know! ”

All the ministers and generals are very nervous, and they don't know how Zhao Junsheng will deal with this impeachment case, once Zhao Junsheng wants to dig deep into this case, he is afraid that it will set off another storm.

Zhao Junsheng was thinking, did Huang Hongsheng impeach Cui Hao out of a sense of responsibility and loyalty, or for some political purpose? Or is he just someone or someone pushing out cannon fodder?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Junsheng made a decision in his heart, no matter whether Huang Hongsheng was pushed out by someone behind his back, or whether this was his own sense of responsibility and his own loyalty to stand up and impeach Cui Hao, he had to send someone to investigate this matter, and he couldn't ignore this case for the purpose of balancing the forces of all parties because of the mutual game between the courtiers, and that would be a matter for the future.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Since Huang Hongsheng's recital has something to say, this case still needs to be thoroughly investigated. How could the Imperial Doctor ever be there? ”

He Zeng came out and bowed down with a board and replied: "The minister is here!" ”

"I ordered you to send the minister to investigate this case thoroughly, and give the gold medal to you, and see that the gold medal is like me coming in person, and I have the right to summon and interrogate anyone related to this case, including Cui Hao. Cui Hao can be summoned for interrogation, but not tortured. If necessary, you can ask other yamen to cooperate, and no one is allowed to shirk! ”

He Zeng bowed down and agreed: "The minister's decree!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said to Cui Hao again: "Cui Hao, until the case is cleared, you suspend all official positions, go home to rest for a period of time, and do not go out at will." If you are really innocent, I will definitely pay you back, do you understand? ”

"The minister understands, the minister must cooperate with Lord He to investigate!"

Soon after the end of the court meeting, the news spread, first the officials of the various ministries and yamen of the imperial court discussed one after another, and within two days, the wine shops, restaurants, carriage and horse shops, and shops in the entire Qianjing City were all spread.

For several days, the atmosphere in the official offices of the various departments and departments in the ministries and offices was very tense, and these days there were people in the official offices of the various yamen who were summoned by the Yushitai, and everyone was worried that they would be summoned, don't think that if you have nothing to do with Cui Hao, there will be no trouble, sometimes people sit at home, and disaster comes from the sky.

Whether it is the ministers of the imperial court, the officials of the various yamen, or the clerks and scribes of the official offices, etc., they are worried about being innocently implicated, and this kind of thing is not uncommon in places like the capital.

On this day, Mulan went to the Qinzheng Hall to deliver soup to Zhao Junsheng, and she put the soup on the imperial case, "Take a rest first and drink a bowl of soup!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Junsheng put down the pen, got up, picked up the bowl and spoon and drank.

Zhao Junsheng asked while drinking, "Are you okay today?" ”

"I just went to the Charity Federation yesterday, and this morning I went to Huangzhuang outside the city, the farmers are working in the fields, I went to see it and brought them some chilled mung bean soup!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "What is the output of liquor now?" ”

"Now it can produce 12,000 catties of puree every day, and nearly 40,000 catties of grain is used, which is too much for food!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Now I am not short of food, and it is better to use the excess grain to make wine than to let it rot!" This output is not enough for market demand! ”

Mulan said: "At present, our wine has been sold to various places, and it is definitely not enough to meet the demand, but I think it is better not to increase the production and keep the market hungry, which is conducive to maintaining its value!" I have decided to use the mid-range and high-end wines in one-pound porcelain bottles, and the low-end wines in large jars."

"That's a good thing, you can drink several people with a bottle of high wine, and you don't need to use a big jar!"

Hua Mulan nodded, remembered something and asked, "I feel so nervous about the atmosphere inside and outside the palace these days?" The officials on the other side of the various yamen of the imperial court are all in a hurry? ”

Zhao Junsheng explained: "A few days ago, someone impeached Cui Hao at the court meeting, and you also know that if he was impeached in front of him in the main hall, I can't help but deal with it, so I ordered Yu Shitai to investigate." Cui Hao has been suspended and gone home to rest, and in the past few days, many officials have been summoned for interrogation by the Yushitai, and some of them have been taken into custody with conclusive evidence, and the atmosphere is normal, if the atmosphere is not tense, it will not be normal! ”

Mulan asked, "What are you going to do with Cui Hao?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "The case has not been investigated yet, and it is too early to say that he will be dealt with, as for how to deal with it, it depends on how deeply involved he is!" Judging from the several officials who have already been verified, these people were all recommended by him, and their relationship with him is extraordinary. As for the rest, we can only see the results of the survey! ”

Hua Mulan thought for a while and suggested to Zhao Junsheng: "If they don't cause harm to the situation and the world, but just stand in the same camp because they have the same idea of the political state, I think Cui Hao should still be dealt with lightly; As for those people promoted by Cui Hao, if they break the law and violate their will, they will be dealt with according to the law! After all, Cui Hao is the head of the Shi clan, if your disposal is too heavy, it is easy for the world to mistakenly think that you can't tolerate the Shi clan, which is not good for the Qianguo, the Shi clan has the shortcomings of the Shi clan, but also has their advantages, you can't completely deny them because they have caused harm to the world, after all, they have also contributed to the world! ”

Zhao Junsheng savored Mulan's words, and he admitted that Mulan's words were reasonable.
