Chapter 207 Pursue Li's title and start arresting people!
Tian Qi pretended to be angry and said: "Xie Sheng! You said that my adoptive mother is unkind! Didn't you hear Zhang Qing say that the more important reason is that someone is instigating behind the scenes?!"
"Your Majesty!"
Xie Sheng hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, and defended himself: "What I mean is that Concubine Li is at least not kind enough to the people below, which caused this matter! But it doesn't mean that Concubine Li is not kind! Please learn from me!"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is just unkind!"
"Back then, Mrs. Li occupied the Qianqing Palace and refused to move the palace. She also colluded with foreign ministers and spread the words that His Majesty treated her mother and daughter disrespectfully. It can be seen that this person is a snake and a scorpion!"
Zuodu Censor Liu Zongzhou suddenly stood up and said the same thing.
He is also a strict adherent of the etiquette system, and he does not want to see Emperor Tianqi break the etiquette system because of Li Xuan's servant, so he also chooses to believe the truth that Zhang Gui has investigated, and taking this opportunity, he does not hesitate to disobey Longyan's way to make Li Xuan attendant. Said to be a person who is not benevolent and immoral.
Liu Zongzhou even blamed Xie Shenglai in the hall for this: "How can Uncle Da Zong dare not speak out because he is afraid of the king?!"
Then, Liu Zongzhou also said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, for a person like Li Xuanshi who lacks benevolence, being buried with the ceremony of an ordinary concubine is enough to demonstrate your majesty's virtue, and there is no need to spend a lot of trouble."
"Liu Zongzhou!"
Tian Qi was happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be annoyed and shouted on the surface.
Xie Sheng turned pale with fright at this moment: "Your Majesty, I now feel that it is not impossible to bury Dowager Li with the ceremony of the Empress Dowager."
Many Qingliu civil officials saw that Xie Sheng gave up so quickly, and they all showed contempt for Xie Sheng for a while.
Seeing this, Liu Zongzhou simply continued: "Your Majesty, even if you kill the minister today, the minister will still say that she is not benevolent and immoral, and she is not worthy of being buried with the empress dowager ceremony!"
"Your Majesty! Concubine Li is indeed unbearable to be buried like a queen mother!"
"Your Majesty! Please don't be rude because of benevolence and filial piety!"
"Your Majesty! Concubine Li is an immoral person, how can she have the gift of a queen mother?!"
…
Many Qingliu civil officials followed suit.
Seeing this, Tian Qi had to do the same as Han Yan, pretending to be discouraged and said: "Forget it, you won! If you want to give my adoptive mother a name of being unkind and immoral, what can I do?"
Liu Zongzhou: "..."
What does it mean that we have to install it? She, Li Xuan, is not benevolent at all.
For a while, Liu Zongzhou couldn't help thinking: "It seems that the colleagues in Shilin have to make Li Xuan's crime of servant more public."
Because of this, Liu Hongxun, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, don't you know that in the past, Ling's biological mother was ordered to be beaten to death by the late emperor because of Li Xuan's slander? Even for the sake of the biological mother, Your Majesty, you can't be too respectful." This person!"
"There is such a thing?!"
Tianqi asked in feigned surprise.
"It's true!"
The right servant of the Ministry of Rites, Cheng Jiming, followed up and said: "When I was a lecturer for the late emperor, I heard the late emperor say that killing your majesty's biological mother with a stick was the result of a mistaken belief in Xi Li's words! And because of this, I regret it."
"The minister was also there at the time, and heard what the late emperor said."
"The minister is also there! It was dusk and it was raining..."
"The minister also heard the late emperor mention it. Your Majesty is reading the Shangshu."
The ministers all testified, and even remembered clearly the weather, what Emperor Taichang was doing, and his demeanor.
…
In the end, the situation thus gradually became.
The courtiers condemned the Li family verbally and in writing. In a daze, some ministers even began to say that the Li family had deliberately murdered the emperor, and set up another heir who could be controlled as the emperor.
Therefore, some ministers began to ask Tianqi to crush Li's bones and ashes in order to prove that Li's immorality.
However, Tianqi finally had no choice but to repay the favor of raising him, so he didn't crush Li's bones and ashes, but he didn't let him be buried with the ceremony of the empress dowager, nor even the ceremony of the concubine, nor did he let him be buried in the tomb of the first emperor, but It is Ling who chooses another place, and pursues the title, and hastily buried the matter.
But after the incident, many Qingliu civil servants realized that it was the real purpose of the emperor to use their words to give Li a name of immorality, and to successfully rehabilitate and avenge his biological mother.
Although they seem to have won and maintained the etiquette system, they were actually tricked by the emperor, Zhang Gui, Han Yu and others.
Xie Sheng is the most depressed.
Because he was not only tricked, but also because he didn't have a firm will at the critical moment, and he ended up being inhumane on both sides.
Many ministers showed contempt for Xie Sheng.
"Bah! Treacherous villain, cowardly and incompetent!"
"Being greedy for life and afraid of death, you really deserve the position of great uncle!"
"Shameless people, if they lose their country in the future, they will become second ministers!"
"Shame on the court with you!"
"Fake hypocrites, since you are really afraid of death, why pretend to be upright in the first place! Are you not ashamed now?"
Xie Sheng could only do his own thing, lowered his head, and said nothing.
He didn't expect that he would fall to this point.
Thinking carefully, Xie Sheng suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Tianqi and Han Yu. It was obvious that Han Yu didn't really want to fight for Li Shi, but just lured him into a trick from beginning to end.
Xie Sheng sighed secretly: "I thought I won a big victory, but it turned out to be the one who lost the worst in Wuchao today."
"At this moment, not only did Concubine Li lose her life, but she also lost her reputation! By the way, even Xie Sheng was not a human being inside and outside. The key is from the beginning to the end. No one can definitively say that this matter has something to do with Uncle Guo."
Minister Bi Ziyan couldn't help talking to Yuan Keli, the new official minister.
Yuan Keli said: "This is a good thing. Among those who support the reform, Uncle Guo is the number one person in the face. Now he can clean up those who can't even be dealt with by His Majesty. This will undoubtedly be very helpful to boost the reform. The key point is that this also means that His Majesty's attitude has been consistent with that of Uncle Guo from beginning to end, otherwise Uncle Guo would not be so unscrupulous. Therefore, a discerning person can see that the large-scale implementation of the New Deal is inevitable. Things!"
"That's right! This may also be the purpose of Uncle Guo's doing this, to let the local officials know how much he is favored! It will help the implementation of the New Deal to the whole country!"
Bi Ziyan nodded.
And Zhang Gui is here with Zhang Yan at this time.
Zhang Yan asked Zhang Gui: "Is the matter about the concubine related to you?"
Zhang Gui nodded.
Zhang Yan fell silent.
After a long while, Zhang Yan said: "This is not an example!"
"Well, definitely next time."
Zhang Gui replied.
"Must be what?"
Zhang Yan asked.
Zhang Gui didn't answer, just said goodbye and left.
After Tian Qi came to Zhang Yan, he said: "Thanks to your brother this time, otherwise it would be difficult for you and me!"
Zhang Yan smiled: "But the concubine is worried that he will get into trouble."
Tian Qi said: "You should worry about me!"
Zhang Yan opened her beautiful eyes, wondering what Tian Qi meant.
Tian Qi said: "I handed over my back to him."
After hearing this, Zhang Yan stretched her crescent eyebrows and said with a smile: "Your Majesty must be hungry after a day of hard work."
"A little bit, is there anything to eat?"
"have!"
Zhang Yan smiled.
…
"enough?"
As soon as Zhang Gui came back, Shang Jinghui prepared delicious food for Zhang Gui to satisfy his hunger, and after Zhang Gui used up a small bowl, he asked softly.
Zhang Guidao: "Not enough! Your cooking is delicious."
Shang Jinghui smiled sweetly: "It seems that falling into the water has no effect on you."
"Of course not! The real influencers are those who want me and His Majesty to fall into the water."
As Zhang Gui said, he took a bowl of porridge from Shang Jinghui's hand, and said, "The city has been under martial law for several days, and it's time to close the net."
"Be careful lest your father worry."
Shang Jinghui said.
"Aren't you worried?"
Zhang Gui asked after finishing his porridge.
Shang Jinghui turned his head and smiled shyly: "I just like to make fun of people!"
"You are only allowed to lie to me, and I am not allowed to make fun of you. What's the point of that!"
Zhang Gui stood up and said: "I have to go there as soon as possible, the people in the inner factory are still waiting for me."
Seeing this, Shang Jinghui was busy arranging Zhang Gui's robe and crown belt.
In a short time, when Zhang Gui came outside the mansion, he saw the new head of the inner factory Qianhu Xudu and Liu Zongmin waiting here, and after Zhang Gui came, they all said in unison: "Commander!"
Zhang Gui nodded and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Get ready! All barracks are surrounded!"
Xu Du and Liu Zongmin replied.
Zhang Gui therefore took out the imperial decree: "Go, arrest people!"
