Chapter 21 Hurricane! The son of a civil servant is called grandpa!
For a moment, Han Gui felt that what Zhang Gui said was very reasonable. The power structure of the Ming Dynasty had changed, and an emperor who was unwilling to indulge the officials had appeared. For power, his father had chosen to betray the intention of the literati and officials to control the emperor. Speakers are no longer necessary.
In addition, Han Gui may have already accumulated resentment against these influencers in his heart, such as being forced to endure some verbal insults so that his father would not be criticized by the officials.
So, now that Zhang Gui said this, Han Gui's adrenaline surged up all of a sudden, he gritted his teeth, glanced at him, and picked up a wooden stick from the corner of the wall and walked towards Liu Cheng.
Zhang Gui stood up and gave up his position to Han Gui to fight Liu Cheng.
Seeing this, Liu Cheng shouted: "Don't! Brother! Grandpa! Ancestor! Don't, I was wrong, can't I be wrong?!"
"Ah! Mother!"
With one stick, Liu Cheng howled loudly, subconsciously trying to touch his legs with both hands, but then had to withdraw them.
After swinging the stick, Han Gui also regained some sanity, and instead of hitting Liu Cheng, he pointed the wooden stick at Liu Cheng: "I told you to speak disrespectfully!"
Liu Cheng pursed his lips and cried, and then replied: "Don't dare!"
The boys who came with Liu Cheng were at a loss when they saw this scene.
Zhang Gui glanced at Liu Cheng's boys, and then said to Liu Cheng, "Do you know what to say when you go back?"
"have no idea."
Liu Cheng replied aggrievedly.
Zhang Gui knelt down and patted Liu Cheng's swollen face: "That's stupid! Didn't you ask us to beat you?"
Han Gui also said: "That's right, didn't you ask for it yourself?"
"Yes, I asked for it myself."
Liu Cheng replied.
Zhang Gui said again: "Warning you, if the censor really mentions this matter, next time, you will be the first one I can't spare! I am not afraid of being scolded by the royal family!"
"let's go!"
After speaking, Zhang Gui took Han Gui and left here.
…
"Asshole, what are you doing in a daze, take me back, no, go directly to uncle!"
After Zhang Gui and the others left, Liu Cheng shouted at the two servants beside him.
The two young servants hurriedly found the Kuai plank and carried Liu Cheng to the residence of Liang Menghuan, the censor.
"Uncle, you have to decide for me!"
Liu Cheng cried.
Liang Menghuan was discussing matters with Yao Zongwen in the matter of Zuoge, the official, when he suddenly saw his nephew being carried in, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's going on?"
Liu Cheng then told about his sudden encounter with Zhang Gui and Han Gui, and said: "Zhang Gui held a grudge, beat me, and forced Han Gui to beat me together."
Liang Menghuan had always understood his nephew's temperament very well, so he asked, "Did you speak provocatively first?"
Liu Cheng didn't answer, just hummed.
Liang Menghuan slapped the table: "Answer me!"
Because Liu Cheng was afraid of Liang Menghuan, an elder, he replied with low confidence: "Yes!"
Then, Liu Cheng said again: "But I said the same in the past, it's okay. But today, he took the initiative to hit me first, and even instigated Han Gui to hit my leg with a big stick! Uncle, you have to help me!" Make the decision!"
Liang Menghuan stood up and pointed at Liu Cheng: "You can cause trouble! Do you know that this is not the past, Wang Andu was killed in Nanhaizi because of his Uncle Zhang Guo, how dare you still provoke him? What else did you say?"
Liu Cheng said: "He also said that he is not afraid of being scolded by the censor."
"Did he really say that?"
Yao Zongwen followed up with a question at this time.
Yao Zongwen glanced at Liang Menghuan and said: "Speaking of this Uncle Guo, I am also puzzled. In the past, Wang An and others selected concubines for His Majesty, didn't they also draw attention to the character of the relatives of the candidates to be selected? It is said that the younger brother of Zhonggong is honest and cowardly, why is he so domineering and arrogant now?"
Liang Menghuan replied: "It was like this before. That's why my naughty nephew dared to bully him in the casino. Because he lost money and Zhang Guojiu won money, my nephew said he was just a country bumpkin and worthless." Even if he became a nobleman, he is not qualified to win his money. Uncle Zhang refused to pay him back the money he won. My naughty nephew asked the boy to beat him, but Uncle Zhang I couldn't bear it anymore, and returned my hand."
"I also thought about this uncle's cowardice and sincerity, so I published a book about him, forcing His Majesty to ground him for half a year, so that people would not really think that my nephew is stubborn, and for the sake of my nephew's reputation, he could only wrong him. Uncle Guo, let Uncle Zhang Guo bear the notoriety of being arrogant and domineering, but who knows that Zhang Guojiu has changed his temper after being beaten."
Yao Zongwen nodded: "I see."
Therefore, Liang Menghuan gritted his teeth and pointed at Liu Cheng: "So all of this is not caused by my nephew's stubbornness! He has always been spoiled by his sister, and he doesn't know how to measure a country who is supposed to be my civil servant. Uncle is forced to become a fierce relative! However, family affection is so important in today's world, so that my Ke Dao's position in controlling the government is also in jeopardy."
"You don't have to be too harsh on Ling nephew, even if Ling nephew made a mistake first, Uncle Zhang Guo shouldn't hit someone, because his beating is not just Ling nephew, but my whole family. An official's face! If your nephew is three points wrong, his Uncle Zhang Guo and that Han Gui are seven points wrong!"
Yao Zongwen said.
Liang Menghuan said: "Let's forget it, the wind direction is changing now, and it's not like you don't know it."
"This matter can't be left alone!"
"Don't let people think that the power of our Daoist officials is so easy to bully. No matter the royal family or the cabinet ministers, they have to pay the price for it! Maybe we can take this opportunity to make a big fuss and send Uncle Zhang Guo, Han Puzhou, Wei Zhongxian and others pulled down together, so that the emperor is still under the control of our science officials!"
Yao Zongwen said.
Liang Menghuan was a little moved, but still didn't dare to rashly agree to do this with Yao Zongwen, so he asked, "Is this possible?"
"Why can't it work?!"
Yao Zongwen got up and asked sharply, and said: "The Donglin Qunxians behind Yuanfu, as well as the people of Cifu, are unwilling to see that the emperor only let Han Puzhou rule in Xiyuan! Our Kedao officials are not fighting alone !"
Liang Menghuan nodded: "What do you want me to do?"
"Impeach Zhang Gui, the royal family, on this matter!"
Yao Zongwen said.
Liang Menghuan said: "But this alone can't kill him! To beat a snake to seven inches, to cut grass to get rid of the roots, if you really want to get rid of him, you can't just do these innocuous things."
"What if it's about colluding with factory ministers and cabinet ministers to send low-quality cotton clothes to the frontier army for illegal profit?"
Yao Zongwen said.
Liang Menghuan got up and asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"
Yao Zongwen nodded, and said: "I came to you to tell you about this. I have already received information from the Ministry of War. Many officers and soldiers in the border town reported that most of the fat jackets issued this year are yellow cotton, and they cannot survive the winter!"
"When it comes to the frontier army, it's not easy for His Majesty to shield the royal family."
Liang Menghuan said.
"You have to take the lead in this matter, and be the first to impeach Uncle Zhang Guo!"
"The reason is that you have impeached him, even if you don't impeach him anymore, because you offended him, Han and Wei, who are close friends with him, will not reuse you again, so you might as well risk your life , get a straight name for impeaching the relatives, so that they can be used in the future."
"Of course, don't worry, if His Majesty dares to punish you directly, our Ke Dao speaker will not agree, and will definitely come to admonish him! I will spread the story of his uncle Zhang bullying and beating your nephew in the Ke Dao, so that you will be punished." Everyone sympathizes with you."
Yao Zongwen encouraged.
Liang Menghuan thought for a while and said, "Okay! I'll impeach Zhang Gui right now!"
As he spoke, Liang Menghuan walked towards the study, but before he left, he still couldn't help pointing at Liu Cheng and said, "You, you, it's all your fault!"
Seeing that Liang Menghuan had left, Liu Cheng hurriedly shouted.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle!"
"My uncle!"
…
Not long after, Liang Menghuan impeached Zhang Gui for 20 major crimes, such as colluding with factory ministers, seizing national interests, entrapping border guards, colluding with cabinet ministers, and wantonly beating people.
After Tianqi received this memorial, his face suddenly sank.
