Chapter 531: The General Trend of the World
Chang Wei impeached Xu Xianchun? Who is Xu Xianchun? One of the five eunuchs of the party, he is Wei Zhongxian's right-hand man, if he is taken down Wei Zhongxian, what will be the face? At that moment, more than a dozen imperial historians all spoke out to accuse Chang Wei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But Chang Wei was speechless with only one sentence, "The edict imprisoned 800 innocent Donglin Party members, and 235 officials who breached the law should be beheaded, but in the past few years, I have not asked clearly, who should be responsible for such crimes?"
This is Chang Wei's cunning, he released the 800 Donglin Party members because he had a machine bureau to lay the foundation, there was a way to make money, and there was a way to make Donglin pay taxes, so he let him go.
Then, Wang Huazhen's more than 200 people who should be beheaded were redeemed from Wei Zhongxian with 500,000 taels of silver every year, which was considered to be safe, and the evidence was clear and could not be denied by them.
But Wei Zhongxian didn't expect Chang Wei to be so bold and dare to point the finger at Xu Xianchun, and this time Chang Wei didn't write to the emperor first, Wei Zhongxian naturally didn't know, and now he suddenly threw this lethal bomb at the court meeting, which really caught the eunuchs off guard!
Seeing that his subordinates couldn't stand it, Zuo Governor Yushi Fang magnificently said: "Is there conclusive evidence for Lord Chang to impeach Lord Xu? Falsely accusing Shangguan is a crime!"
Xu Xianchun is the commander of the affairs according to the official rank of the Jinyi Guard, Chang Wei's boss, so Fang Zhuangli used this to threaten him, Chang Wei had a large amount of evidence that Xu Xianchun solicited bribes and framed him when he tried Wang Huazhen's 235 people.
Even if Wang Huazhen and others change their tunes, Chang Wei and the thousands of households in brocade clothes wronged the first-hand raw materials of the Donglin Party under Xu Xianchun's instructions, and even if they don't dare to confront Xu Xianchun and the eunuch party, then Chang Wei still has Gao Wencai and Zhou Sheng in his hands Two 'tainted witnesses', although these two people also like to be promoted and make a fortune, but they are still upright by nature, and they obeyed the order when Chang Wei entered the Beizhen Fusi.
Then, the trip to Henan gained a lot of credit and benefits, and seeing that Chang Wei's favor was getting heavier, he had already followed him with all his heart, so didn't you want a lot of evidence?
At that moment, Chang Wei took out more than 300 confessions from his briefcase, and after the emperor passed them down, Fang Zhuangli's face immediately changed drastically, and Wu Chunfu, one of the right attendants of the Ministry of Works, knew that something was wrong, and immediately said: "In this case, please ask Lord Chang to hand over the evidence to the Three Law Divisions, and then summon Lord Xu to the case for trial after verification." ”
Chang Wei was about to continue to advance, but the emperor waved his hand and said, "Quasi!"
Now that the emperor has set the tone, Chang Wei can't say anything anymore, anyway, Xu Xianchun can't run, as long as he urges the three law divisions to pay attention to the progress of the case at all times.
Next, the emperor shifted his attention to the rebellion of Wang Er in Shaanxi, and discussed the details for most of the day.
Chang Wei wanted to go back to Beizhen Yamen after eating, but the emperor asked Tu Wenfu to ask him to go to the Qianqing Palace, and on the way Tu Wenfu said: "Nine thousand years old, let us ask Chang why he impeached Lord Xu?"
Chang Wei pretended not to know who he was and asked, "What do you call your father-in-law?"
"We are the celebrant and the eunuch Tu Wenfu. ”
Chang Wei took the opportunity to say hello, quietly stuffed a silver ticket with a large amount of 10,000 taels into Tu Wenfu's hand, and asked softly: "How does the father-in-law think this official should answer the words of the father-in-law of Wei?"
After receiving the money, you have to do things, this is the rule of the eunuch party, and 10,000 taels is definitely not a small amount, at that time, the mansion that Wei Liangqing claimed when he was the marquis was only worth 19,000 taels, and Tu Wenfu did not have the opportunity to earn more than 10,000 taels many times.
Sure enough, Tu Wenfu said with a smile: "Actually, what the adults said in the court is very reasonable, if you release eight hundred, you have to kill two hundred, someone should indeed take responsibility, but the adult is too ruthless, and Lord Xu is very bad this time." ”
Chang Wei didn't take this stubble, and smiled: "How much silver does my father-in-law think can I earn for the imperial court by cutting the domain?"
Tu Wenfu's eyes flashed a few times before he said: "My lord said in the court that the vassal king has a total of 600 million mu of fertile land in his hands, and one mu of land produces five coins of silver, and 600 million mu is 300 million silver, and according to the 30 tax, it is 10 million taels of silver." ”
Chang Wei smiled even more on his face, patted Tu Wenfu's shoulder and said: "Ten million a year is enough to pay for the war in Liaodong, in addition, it can also save seven million taels of expenses for the vassal king every year, and the court inside and outside will earn an extra seventeen million a year, not counting the labor, rewards and encroachment of the vassal kings, the court will earn an extra 20 million a year, right?"
"Yes!" Chang Wei said all the real numbers, and Tu Wenfu didn't have anything to refute, so he asked instead, "But what does this have to do with Lord Xu?"
Chang Wei looked at him and said: "The time for this official to enter the court is still short, and if you want to do such a big thing, you must establish a little prestige, otherwise how can you deter millions of clans in the world? How to establish authority? The most convenient thing is nothing more than to start with the Beizhen Fusi, therefore, this official did not deliberately target Lord Xu, but he was unlucky, and he just encountered this unlucky thing. ”
"Bad luck?!" Tu Wenfu's eyes widened, and he only used a light and fluttering bad luck to clean up a powerful person like Xu Xianchun?
Chang Wei didn't have time to pay attention to his psychological changes, and said leisurely: "The so-called general trend of the world is unstoppable, and now the general trend of the imperial court is to make money, civilians are chaotic, and to fight slaves, who dares to stop this general trend will definitely be crushed! Do you say Xu Xianchun is unlucky?"
Tu Wenfu tasted these words, and said with a smile: "No wonder Lord Chang can win the emperor's favor as soon as he enters the court, it turns out that he has already seen through the way of being an official, and the adult is really young and promising." ”
Chang Wei said with a smile: "If I knew how to be an official, I wouldn't be besieged by the ministers in the court, Ni Wenhuan is a real officialdom." ”
Chang Wei told Tu Wenfu this: Don't think that I don't know that Ni Wenhuan borrowed my hand to Yin Donglin Zhou Yanru!
After speaking, he said: "Actually, I and Father-in-law Wei are both people who work for the emperor, I am responsible for making money from open sources, and Father-in-law Wei is responsible for collecting taxes to fill the treasury, there is no contradiction between us, let alone any confrontation, Donglin's gang of misers is the person Grandpa Wei has to deal with." ”
"Although I met Gonggong Tu for the first time, I knew that in the harem, you were the first person under Gonggong Wei and a person trusted by the emperor, and I hope you can say to Gonggong Wei, don't be ruined by some villains and some trivial things, so as not to be seized by political enemies and sow discord!"
This praise made Tu Wenfu very useful, and nodded with a smile: "Lord Chang's words are reasonable, we will definitely say these words to the nine thousand years old when we go back, adults don't have to worry too much, but don't stare at Lord Xu anymore, after all, everyone is not an outsider." ”
It doesn't matter if you don't say it, Wei Liangdong will naturally say this, Chang Wei smiled: "Anyway, the person has already handed over to the Three Law Divisions, and the next thing has little to do with me, so I naturally won't kill them all!" )
