Two hundred and seventieth chapters each has a ghost
Zhou Fang's worries soon came true.
In a few days, Yingtian Prefect's impeachment of Zhou Qingli's memorial was already in the capital.
This example counts Zhou Qingli's "sin" and calls him "the greatest evil in ancient and modern times", and asks the emperor to punish him severely.
This memorial was just the beginning, and the government and the people quickly followed up, and there were more than twenty memorials impeached Zhou Qingli for a time.
Zhou Zheng read all these memorials, not only shook his head but also shook his head.
These people are all unaware of the general trend. Now they will be recorded by Zhu Youjian.
Zhou Zheng sorted out these memorials and sent them to the three cabinet masters.
The three cabinet masters were not very interested in Zhou Zheng and ignored him.
Zhou Zheng didn't care either, so he returned to the class room to continue to read the various backups and records of the cabinet's recent years.
Zhu Youjian soon saw these memorials, but he knew what was going on from the exaggerated words in these memorials.
Huang Liji stood in front of him, his thin face as usual, without any expression.
Zhu Youjian looked at it and said, "Sinceremony, what do you think?"
Huang Liji was silent for a moment and said, "The old minister believes that it is not in vain and not to let go. Zhou Yuanshan is no longer suitable to investigate the Wei Zhongxian case. The old minister asks the emperor to choose another talent."
Zhu Youjian felt angry in his heart, and he hid it without saying anything, "Who do you think is suitable?"
Huang Liji was silent for a while and said, "Xu Dahua, the Minister of Dali Temple, is upright and has a fair job."
Zhu Youjian didn’t know where he was. Xu Dahua was also a eunuch party and had a very close relationship with Huang Liji.
He snorted coldly in his heart, and Zhu Youjian said lightly: "I understand."
Huang Liji knew that Zhu Youjian was dissatisfied with him, but he didn't care. He raised his hand and said, "The old minister gave up."
Zhu Youjian looked at his back, suppressed his anger and said, "It is said that Zhou Qingli is here to see me."
"Yes." An insulator agreed.
Not long after, Zhou Qingli came to Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youjian handed some memorials to Zhou Qingli and said, "Zhou Aiqing, take a look."
Zhou Qingli was in the Censorate and naturally knew the memorial to impeach him, not to mention that Zhou was still in the cabinet for venting.
He took it, looked at it for a few seconds, and Zhou Qingli raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, these impeachments are all crimes that I want to be punished, and I will not admit it."
Logically speaking, you should apologize at this time, and be anxious.
Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Zhou Aiqing doesn't need to be nervous, I don't believe it. Tell me, I've found something."
Zhou Qingli was prepared for a long time, so he took out the memorial from his arms and handed it to Zhu Youjian, saying, "Your Majesty, this is my search of the account books of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Please check the emperor for a review."
An internal supervisor came over and handed it to Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian took it and looked around. Not long after, his smiling face changed, as gloomy as ink, and his eyes were flashing with fire.
After a while, Zhu Youjian's breath was rapid and he said angrily: "All these are true?"
Zhou Qingli's account book, the total amount of property of the Wei Gong Mansion exceeds 10 million taels of silver, which is several times richer than the Ming Dynasty treasury! These are just preliminary searches. If the relevant person continues to search, it may have to double!
Zhou Qingli said: "Your Majesty is sure, you have registered and recorded. After all, I will report it to Your Majesty."
Zhu Youjian looked at Zhou Qingli and remembered Wei Zhongxian's "life temple". The life temples that were scattered all over the Ming Dynasty were built at least tens of thousands of taels and hundreds of thousands of taels. The more than 10 million in front of him seemed not so surprising!
If you are not surprised, you will be even more angry.
Zhu Youjian's right hand giggled, his expression was hideous and terrifying, as if he wanted to eat people.
This was the first time Zhou Qingli saw Zhu Youjian's expression like this. His mind was so excited that he was alert to Dasheng and quickly lowered his head.
After a while, Zhu Youjian raised his head and looked at Zhou Qingli and asked coldly: "What is the result of the interrogation?"
Zhou Qingli said: "There are many people who interrogate and are too extensive. Some things are difficult to verify. I am still sorting them out. Once they are sorted out, report them to Your Majesty immediately."
Zhu Youjian forced a smile, feeling a little more comfortable, and asked, "What do you think of the current court?"
Zhou Qingli thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, what aspect do you mean?"
"All the lords in the court." Zhu Youjian said, staring at Zhou Qingli.
In fact, except for one of the six ministries and nine temples, cabinet ministers, and the highest-level officials of the Ming Dynasty, Li Guopu was considered to be Zhu Youjian, the rest were not. Even Cao Yubian, the left censor of the Censorate who was left to Zhu Youjian by Tianqi, was now in a state of dissatisfaction with the affairs assigned by Zhu Youjian.
Zhou Qingli thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, I have been in a low position for a long time and have no deep understanding of the court. Why not ask the ministers of the Tianqi Pavilion."
Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with Zhou Qingli's answer and smiled and said, "Well, I understand, Zhou Aiqing, go, if there is anything, I will support you."
"Thank you Your Majesty, I will leave." Zhou Qingli raised her hand as usual.
When Zhou Qingli left, Zhu Youjian felt much better. He picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said, "It is said that Ye Xianggao, Han Yu is here to see me."
Zhu Youjian had no one else in his hands, so the cabinet ministers who were forced to retire by the eunuch party during the Tianqi period would be able to use it.
"Yes." An internal supervisor agreed.
Zhou Qingli left the Qianqing Palace and left the palace with normal steps. His expression was calm, but his eyes were full of the terrifying expressions that Zhu Youjian had just chosen someone to eat.
Zhou Qingli had met Wanli, Guangzong, and Tianqi. These people would get angry and want to kill people, but they never had such a chilling expression in their hearts.
In the Qianqing Palace, there was a remote and dark room.
Li Shi has been locked up here for many days, with a disheveled face and a very embarrassed face.
He looked at Li Zhong in front of him with a harsh expression and said, "If I die, you, Zhou Zheng, don't even think about it. I will take you to bury him with me!"
For so long, he already knew that the new emperor was disgusted with him, and he also knew that Zhou Qingli was investigating the "Wei Zhongxian case". If this continues, he will die sooner or later!
Li Zhong was Li Shi's follower before, half of his apprentice, and he was timid and cowardly. Listening to Li Shi's threatening words, he knew that if Li Shi bites randomly, he and Zhou Zheng would be in trouble, and they were the kind of person who died!
"What do you want?" Li Zhong gritted his teeth. He is now the eunuch near the emperor, with a bright future, so he would not give up like this.
Li Shi sneered and said, "I want to be alive, I want to be rich and prosperous!"
Li Zhong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he immediately said, "I'll find a way, don't talk nonsense."
Li Shi stared at Li Zhong's face and said, "I won't talk nonsense until the end, but if you do something, I have a way to send what I want to say to the emperor!"
Li Zhong took a deep breath, looked at Li Shi coldly, and turned around and left.
When he left the door, he didn't dare to say anything and left quickly.
