Wanli Youming

Chapter 345

Chapter 345

Li Zhi froze in place.

After reading the book for a while, Fang Fengshi saw that he hadn't left yet, so he had to sternly say, "See off!"

"slow!"

Li Zhi yelled, walked up to Fang Fengshi, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, 30 shibaimi, even if you want to become an official, you have to bring some old officials back to your clan."

Fang Fengshi smiled after hearing this: "What do you mean by that?"

Li Zhi took a deep breath, and then took out a letter from his sleeve: "This is something that the South has agreed with the subordinates. The subordinates have already made an appointment with them, and the public will know after reading it."

After Fang Fengshi read it, he looked up at Li Zhi: "Leave the letter here, and I will try my best to facilitate this matter for you."

"Do you want to lie to me?"

Li Zhi asked.

Fang Fengshi asked back: "If you don't leave the letter here, how dare I treat you as my own?!"

Li Zhi thought for a while, and put the letter on Fang Fengshi's case as soon as he gritted his teeth: "Okay! I would like to have no reservations about the public!"

The next day.

Zhu Yijun reluctantly got up on Concubine Zhang's couch, washed and changed for a while, and after breakfast, he yawned and went to the Imperial Attendant.

At this time, although dawn had already broken outside the house, the sky and the earth were chilling. The red clouds were pressing down on the Forbidden City, and the cold wind was pouring into the palace walls.

But when he thought that he hadn't come to serve the censor for a few days, Zhu Yijun didn't want to go back to the palace and continue to hang out with the concubines, insisting on being a diligent emperor.

As soon as Zhu Yijun came to the Siyusi, he asked Fang Fengshi and Qi Jiguang as soon as he sat down, "How is the matter in Burma?"

"There is no new battle report yet."

Qi Jiguang replied at this time.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then asked Shen Shixing and the others: "Has San Fu entered Beijing yet?"

"Return to Your Majesty, there is still some time."

Shen Shixing replied at this time.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun only asked, "Then is there anything else to play?"

Zhao Jin, the censor of Zuodu, suddenly came out at this moment: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, please punish the crime of Li Zhi, the young minister of the Taipu Temple!"

Everyone was taken aback, and Du Fang smiled slightly at the time.

Shen Shixing looked at Fang Fengshi at this moment.

Zhu Yijun also looked at Fang Fengshi, and then asked Zhao Jin, "What is the crime?"

"Accepting bribes and forming cliques, alienating officials, deceiving the emperor, and plotting against the law!"

Zhao Jin said in a low voice.

Then, Zhao Jin took out the letter that Li Zhi handed to Fang Fengshi:

"Prime Minister Fang Shu came to see the minister last night, and told the minister about Li Shaoqing's desire to separate Yuan Fu from the prime minister."

"Through this, I learned that Li Shaoqing fabricated a rumor in front of Prime Minister Fang that Yuan Fu wanted to instigate officials to join him and demoted him out of Beijing. He also lured Prime Minister Fang Shu, saying that there are profiteers in the south who are willing to bribe Prime Minister Fang Shu with huge profits to help Xiang Fang stop the government from setting up practical affairs. On the grounds that he would betray the Prime Minister, Li Zhi was asked to keep his personal letters in contact with profiteers in the south."

When Zhao Jin said this, the letter had already arrived in Zhu Yijun's hands.

After Zhu Yijun looked at it, he glanced at Fang Fengshi: "Fang Qing, what Zhao Qing said is true."

Fang Fengshi got up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what Zhao Zongxian said is indeed true! Even if I have disagreements with Yuanfu on political views, even to the point of guessing each other, I will definitely not sit back and watch this villain sow discord and stir up trouble Chaotang! The old minister asks His Majesty to severely punish this kind of treacherous villain, so as to correct the atmosphere!"

"Qing is a minister of justice!"

Zhu Yijun said with a smile, and then said: "This is very good, it's normal to have differences in political opinions, but we can't let villains take advantage of this and ruin the atmosphere!"

As Zhu Yijun spoke, he said to the order with a serious face: "Since there are all the witnesses and material evidence, then we will draw up an order to dismiss Li Zhi and send him to prison, arrest his accomplices, interrogate him and convict him!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Shen Shixing replied in a hurry.

The other ministers also stood up and bowed their hands.

And Shen Shixing glanced at Fang Fengshi gratefully after speaking.

At this moment, Fang Fengshi only closed his eyes slightly, without the complacent look that helped Shen Shixing.

When Shen Shixing himself left the Imperial Attendant, his expression was ugly.

"You don't need to be too annoyed, this Li Rupei is thinking too simply about the affairs of the court, thinking that the servant will really be dissatisfied with you if you know that you want to impeach the servant!"

And it just so happened that Fang Fengshi took the initiative to talk to him after he left Shi Yusi.

After hearing this, Shen Shixing laughed and said, "Both childish and shameless!"

"Sent to prison?"

After Li Zhi knelt on the ground and listened to Zhu Yijun's decree, he looked at Qiu Fu, the eunuch who announced the decree, in surprise.

Qiu Fu smiled: "If you don't believe me, you can read the original text of the imperial decree."

"Is it Zhongzhi?"

Li Zhi asked.

Qiu Fudao: "Of course not, it's the impeachment of the General Constitution, drafted by Yuan Fu, and drafted by the Minister of Imperial Affairs."

Li Zhi fell to the ground after hearing this.

"Fang Jiayu!"

Then, Li Zhi yelled up to the sky, and then cried, "Why are you teasing me! If you do this, who will dare to vote for you again in the future and inform you?!"

"Quickly receive the order, Li Rupei."

Lu Duo, the Jinyi guard who came with Qiu Fu, said something.

Li Zhi had to kneel down again, received the decree, and was sent to prison.

And not long after Li Zhi was sent to prison, Shen Shixing began to call the ministers in the mansion to discuss how to deal with Li Zhi.

"The atmosphere of inciting ministers to fight with each other cannot last long, this Li Zhi is like a chariot! Because this is trying to destroy our Ming Dynasty!"

Shen Shixing said before calling all the ministers.

After hearing this, Yang Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, asked, "Is it too heavy?"

Shen Shixing wanted to use harsh methods to let his disciples and old officials see the fate of betraying him.

In his view, Zhang Juzheng was too kind to his protégés and former officials who betrayed him, which caused his protégés and former officials not to take the benefactor seriously, and even used the impeachment of the benefactor to make a name for themselves.

At the same time, Shen Shixing felt that this would satisfy the emperor, and take care of the emperor's desire to punish those who disobeyed him but also wanted to set up a memorial archway so as not to put himself in danger.

In Shen Shixing's view, the previous Zhang Siwei was dissatisfied with the emperor because he did not bring such a demand to Zhu Yijun.

Therefore, Shen Shixing sneered after Yang Wei said: "What's the big deal? If you separate the ministers today, who knows if you will separate the monarchs and ministers tomorrow, or even separate the two countries, and want to mess up the country? How can we prove to His Majesty that we don't want to break the car?" Most of the civil servants are different from him, Li Zhi, and hate these villains even more than Jin Yiwei?"

"Whoever doesn't hate this kind of behavior at this time, Bao Qi Jin Yiwei will call this person an accomplice the next moment!"

Shen Shixing said another sentence in a threatening way.

Yang Wei couldn't help trembling, worried that Shen Shixing could really direct Jin Yiwei to get involved, so he hurriedly said: "It makes sense!"

"Then let's make a joint title like this!"

Shen Shihang suggested.

The other ministers in power all nodded.

"too heavy!"

However, Zhu Yijun said this after receiving the joint memorial from Shen Shixing and others.

"Your Majesty, to be too kind to treacherous people is to be cruel to loyal ministers. Kindness should not be bestowed on these people!"

Shen Shixing retorted.

All the other ministers said: "The minister waits for a second opinion!"

Zhu Yijun said: "It will still be cut in half! As punishment!"

"Yes! Your Majesty is as benevolent as heaven!"

……

Shortly after Li Zhi confessed to the accomplice who bribed him in the prison, he received the order to cut him in half, and he was shocked: "How could it be?!"

"Sacred edict Huanghuang, could it be false?"

Yang Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, slapped the gavel and said, "Take me to execution!"

"You treacherous ministers, you can't be so harsh! Everyone is a scholar-bureaucrat!"

"I want to see Your Majesty!"

"I want to make a statement and tell you that these traitors have no regard for holiness!"

And Li Zhi suddenly started drinking.

Yang Wei ignored it.

Li Zhi was taken to the execution ground next.

"cut!"

When the guillotine fell, Li Zhi shouted: "No! I haven't been promoted to governor yet!"

Li Zhi was separated from the city as soon as he finished speaking.

After Li Sancai heard about it, he was silent for a long time in the courtyard.
