Chapter 528: The Queen Mother spares her life
Whoop -
A letter of fold was thrown down with his head covered and smashed Zhao Guoji's head.
He hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, and he didn't know that it must be the fold he sent yesterday, but after reading it, he found that it was indeed the case, and his body was half cold.
He didn't have time to regret it or anything, the first thing he thought was that he was really unlucky.
Knowing that there were many courtiers who opposed it in the book yesterday, he dared to follow suit, but he didn't expect that it was him who was arrested in the end.
Of course Zhao Guoji didn't know.
He is used to being sharp as the imperial history, and he has never been soft-mouthed when he impeached ministers, and he unconsciously used those words and phrases for Su Youyi.
If Su Youyi doesn't arrest him, who will he arrest?
"Dare to openly defy the emperor's authority, and boldly insult the mourning family in the excerpt of the book. Someone, drag this disrespectful rebellious thief out, and behead him outside the noon gate! ”
What, decapitation?
Zhao Guoji almost fainted in fright, "The Queen Mother spares her life, the Queen Mother spares her life!" ”
His body was already weak, and he kowtowed again and again with the instinct of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and his posture looked very ridiculous, "Weichen deserves to die, beg the Queen Mother to spare her life, spare Weichen!" ”
Not only Zhao Guoji was afraid, but there was no one in the room who was not afraid.
Yuan Zhi subconsciously wanted to stop it, if the word about killing his courtiers in public spread, it would definitely be boiling tomorrow.
He had already raised his hand, thought for a moment and then retracted it.
Su Youyi must have his intentions in doing this, he doesn't understand, it's better to wait and see.
There are ministers who also wrote against it yesterday and their knees have weakened, and they are so frightened that they almost kneel down for fear that they will be beheaded.
Even the courtiers who supported Su Youyi, some of them were in danger.
Zhou Shoufu frowned, wanted to persuade Su Youyi, thought about it, picked up the letter on the ground, looked at it carefully, and did have the ironic tone of the imperial history between the lines, and also insulted Su Youyi.
He sighed, shook his head, and handed the fold to Su Qing, "You guys also take a look." ”
The lips were cold and the teeth were cold, and finally someone stood up and said something for Zhao Guoji, "The Queen Mother, the rules of the ancestors, the official and the imperial history can't be beaten!" ”
"yes, yes, that's the rule......"
"When did the mourners say they were going to beat him?"
Su Youyi was merciless, "The mourning family wants to kill him." Still hands-on? ”
The guards outside the hall came in and dragged Zhao Guoji down, Zhao Guoji cried and shouted, the reserve and pride of being the imperial history were completely gone, "The Queen Mother spares her life!" Emperor! The emperor saves the ministers, saves the ministers! ”
"Queen Mother!"
Zhou Shoufu finally couldn't stand it anymore, as the head of the hundred officials, he had to stand up at this moment, "Queen Mother, Zhao Yushi should not insult you in the twists and turns, but the matter of beheading in public has to be considered." Why don't you put him in the prison and wait for the trial of Dali Temple? ”
The procedure that should be followed still has to be followed.
Zhou Shoufu's words were not to excuse Zhao Guoji, he thought that Su Youyi should agree, but he didn't expect Su Youyi to be ruthless.
"That's not going to happen."
She sneered, and her eyes turned to the bottom, "Which one is Jian Chongwen, the household servant?" ”
A pair of already soft knees fell to the ground with a pop, and Jian Chongwen was scared enough, "Weichen Jian Chongwen, knock on the Queen Mother." ”
"It turns out that you still have the queen mother of the mourning family in your eyes."
Another letter smashed into his head, "Jian Chongwen, the five thousand taels of silver that the governor of Hangzhou gave you last year, did you spend it so quickly, and you want to make an idea from the silver provided by the imperial court for disaster relief?" ”
Jian Chongwen's eyes widened like dead fish.
The governor of Hangzhou gave him silver, how did she know?
"The Queen Mother spares her life, the Queen Mother spares her life!"
Another crying and wiping tears, Su Youyi snorted coldly, "Pull this corrupt official out of the mourning family, beat fifty boards, and beat him outside the Qianqing Gate!" ”
No minister dared to speak up now.
Su Youyi clearly came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
And she is reasonable, it seems that she has made sufficient preparations a long time ago, and even the amount of money that Jian Chongwen embezzled in the past is clear.
For a while, everyone was in danger, lest they would become the "chicken" that Su Youyi killed and set an example for.
"Ahh
The screams came from outside the Qianqing Gate, which was terrifying.
The courtiers were okay, the second prince and the third prince were not old enough, and they were already frightened by the scene in front of them, and the two brothers stood together and did not dare to move.
Fortunately, there is Prince Yong.
He quietly patted the shoulders of the two, "The Queen Mother is going to be powerful, don't do it. Something about the two of you. You should only look good and clear as if you were watching a play, and it will be helpful to you in the government in the future. ”
The two of them were comforted, and then they were a little more relaxed.
Su Youyi's gaze finally moved to Jiang Su.
Jiang Su met her eyes and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look directly.
Su Youyi did not hesitate at all, "Marquis Weiyuan, you instigated dozens of ministers in the court to jointly write a letter asking the emperor to reduce the power of the mourning family. Why, if you don't let the mourning family regent, you Weiyuan Marquis can't be the regent? ”
Jiang Su was taken aback, hurriedly stood up, and said stiffly: "How dare Weichen." Weichen just felt that this drought in the northwest, the queen mother's decision was inappropriate, and the emperor should have other better decisions. ”
"Oh, what better decision?"
Su Youyi slowly paced at the top, "When the first emperor was there, the crown prince was in charge of the government and assessed the performance of new officials in various places. You Weiyuan Marquis first stopped Zhang Zhidong and Su Zhiming from interfering, and then saw that he couldn't stop it, and secretly changed the bad deeds to good deeds for his cronies, yes or no? ”
Jiang Su was startled, and his heart was sudden, lest Su Youyi had evidence in his hand.
Su Youyi smiled, "You have made your daughter Concubine Jue often go in and out of the Qianqing Palace in the name of her relationship with the emperor, and disturb the emperor's governance many times. Concubine Jue claimed to be the daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, and even the mourning family didn't dare to deal with her, yes or no? ”
Jiang Su hurriedly said: "The minister did not make the concubine ......."
"So, is it the Empress Downy herself who is bullying and domineering by taking advantage of the power of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion?"
Jiang Su did not dare to argue.
It doesn't make a difference if this crime is placed on Concubine Yu or him, it is the sin of the Marquis of Weiyuan.
Hearing Su Youyi say this, the courtiers thought of the rumors that came out of the harem before, and they also had an understanding of Concubine Jue's behavior.
Su Youyi smiled and took the last dose of fierce medicine, "You manage the ministry, but in fact, you are forming a party for personal gain." Those who support you in the ministry will be promoted, and those who do not support you will be belittled, Jiang Su, you keep claiming to be loyal to the monarch, are you worthy of the emperor's trust in you? ”
Jiang Su sweated like rain, and hurriedly knelt down to defend himself, but saw Hou Bu, the servant of the subordinate department, stand up with a serious face.
Weichen can prove that what the Queen Mother said is true. Weichen, as a servant of the ministry, was suppressed in the ministry because he refused to form a party with the Marquis of Weiyuan. Ask the queen mother and the emperor to call the shots, and return the ministry to Qingming! ”
