It was already February at this time, and it looked like it would be the beginning of spring in a few more days.
After the cold winter, it is spring time again in March, when flowers bloom. However, due to the late spring cold, a heavy snow suddenly fell.
Let the climate become freezing again.
A sudden heavy snowfall once again turned the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the Forbidden City into a blanket of white, while the high-pitched roars of the ritual officials echoed along the Jinshui Bridge.
"Every official listens to the announcement... If something happens, report it early; if nothing happens, withdraw from the court!"
Amidst the heavy snow.
The old men with gray hair and luxurious official uniforms lowered their heads like eggplants beaten by frost, and their voices were temporarily silent.
Especially those adults who had something that fell into the hands of the factory guards, one after another resorted to the Clay Bodhisattva method.
The eyes observe the nose, and the nose observes the heart.
Eyes slightly closed.
The adults began to pretend to be deaf and dumb. After all, this trick was a compulsory course that every adult who served as an official in court would learn from the first day of court.
It seemed that overnight all the officials were silent.
There was no sound from the Yushitai either.
But Zhu Yijun, who was sitting on the chariot, refused to give up. There was a deep mockery on his slightly immature face, and the corners of his stubbled mouth were slightly raised.
Zhu Yijun sneered several times.
Don't you say anything?
Let me tell you!
soon!
He then took out a stack of documents of unknown origin from the sleeves of his dragon robe, and while the ministers were frightened and frightened, he handed the top few documents to the ceremonial officer.
Then.
Zhu Yijun mocked: "Nian!"
Say it louder!
Let everyone in the world take a look and see what kind of virtues the descendants of these adults have!
The ceremony officer took the document and looked at it, his eyelids kept twitching, and he was speechless for a moment, but it was hard to disobey the holy order, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and read.
"Nowadays, Li Jiao, the son of Shuntian Prefecture, was originally the son of Li Zhen, the imperial envoy of Zuo Qiandu. However, he did not want to serve the country, did not respect etiquette and laws, and openly visited prostitutes. His courtesy was ruined and his family was brought to shame... Jiao knew that his sin was serious.
…But please punish me and don’t dare to complain a word.”
A confession has been read.
Zhu Yijun then looked at the imperial censor's desk, and there was a Qingliu master in the front row. This Li Zhenli Li was only in his forties, and he was originally a top official among the Qingliu officials.
He is famous for his uprightness and eloquence.
When Mr. Li heard this, he had no choice but to calm down, and walked out under the watchful eyes of all the civil and military officials. He knelt down and took off his official hat and put it aside.
Even though there were thousands of people who were unwilling to do so, the stolen goods were obtained. The beloved son of the family wrote a confession and it fell into the hands of factory guards.
The upright Mr. Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I have no way of teaching my son, and it is an insult to gentlemen... I request your Majesty's permission to resign from the post of the Imperial Envoy of Zuozhuangdu."
This was not a threat to resign, but that he really could no longer stay in the court.
It's snowing heavily.
The young emperor, who had the upper hand, was not in a hurry. He narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically: "Li Aiqing doesn't have to be like this. Your beloved son has made a mistake. What does it have to do with Aiqing?"
The implication.
I am not a mean and unkind king.
"There is no need to resign."
The words fell.
Mr. Li couldn't even kneel down safely. Even though he said so, his son's being caught engaging in prostitution really had nothing to do with him.
If this happened to a certain martial artist or a thick-skinned official from the Sixth Ministry, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, he would be ridiculed by his colleagues.
Just ask.
Are there any cats in the world who don’t steal fish?
But Mr. Li is different.
He is a clear stream.
The grandmaster was usually serious, talking about great principles every day, and would always use the moral standards of a saint to demand the young emperor.
He asked the emperor not to indulge in sensuality, not to be greedy for pleasure, but to be diligent and do everything he needs to do...
If the emperor makes even the slightest mistake, Mr. Li's bull's-eyes will glare fiercely, and he will be unreasonable and insist on forcing the emperor to admit his mistake!
But suddenly.
Mr. Li himself is no longer clean and impure. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can no longer sit in the position of Zuo Qiandu's imperial envoy.
He himself had a lax family tradition and no way to educate his children, so what qualifications did he have to educate the emperor?
There is no such truth in the world.
So in the heavy snow.
The kneeling imperial envoy, the young emperor with a mocking look on his face, and the ministers of the cabinet who were in meditation like clay bodhisattvas, formed a strange landscape painting.
finally.
After Mr. Li knelt for half an hour, almost freezing, the young emperor hypocritically allowed him to resign.
I watched Mr. Li get up from the ground and walk towards the palace gate tremblingly.
The ministers were as silent as cicadas.
Factory guard’s move!
It's a hundred times more cruel than being beaten with a royal stick and being dismissed from office.
Even if you kill someone, you still have to be heartbroken!
Too cruel.
Only the martial arts heroes, headed by the British Duke Zhang Xun, were all in high spirits, as if the martial arts gene that had been suppressed by the officials for many years had exploded.
The warriors all chuckled happily.
Immediately afterwards.
The second wave is coming.
Not long after.
The ceremony officer took over a few more confessions, and the terrifying voice sounded again: "Yu Shi Qiao Yan, Xu Zhenming from the Ministry of Revenue came forward to listen to the order."
now.
The ministers knew in their hearts that these were the backbone of the officialdom, and they were the most fierce ones clamoring for the crown prince in the past few days.
They were all taken advantage of by the young emperor.
It would be wiser to resign voluntarily.
nowadays……
The ministers secretly looked at the majestic young emperor on the imperial chariot, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in their hearts. It seemed that the emperor had grown up.
The wings are hard!
Those whose names were called were lucky, and they resigned on the spot, which was considered a relief. Those adults whose names were not called, and whose sons and nephews were arrested at home, were relieved.
I couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.
He secretly looked at the thick stack of confessions in the emperor's hand.
This taste.
It is truly unforgettable.
After a while.
Cining Palace.
Peaceful and peaceful.
Empress Dowager Li, who had regained her energy, took Queen Wang, Concubine Wang Gong and the eldest son of the emperor, who had just turned one full moon, to enjoy the snow in the back garden, wrapped in thick fox fur.
Ever since Zheng Shuyi was left out, there has been gradually more laughter in the palace.
While Queen Mother Li was teasing her beloved grandson, she listened to the reports from the eunuchs from time to time and listened to the emperor's son's methods of rectifying the ministers.
The Queen Mother, whose charm was still there, could not help but feel frightened, but at the same time she felt happy.
On whom to put it.
I don’t want to be pointed in the nose and scolded by my son every day!
at this time.
Empress Dowager Li seemed to see the shadow of Emperor Jiajing in her fledgling son, and she was very pleased.
But all of this is just buried deep in my heart and will not be revealed in front of my wife. There is just a little smile on her fair and pretty face.
Until the eunuch came to report.
Tai Guozhang asked to see him.
Empress Dowager Li was slightly startled and said hurriedly: "Xuan."
Not long after.
Then they saw Li Wei, the abbot of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Qingbo, hurried into the Qianqing Palace, saluted the daughter of the empress dowager, and started to complain angrily.
"Rebellion, rebellion!"
Watching my father get angry with shame.
Queen Mother Li quickly asked: "What happened at home?"
When Wu Qing Bo Li Wei looked at his graceful daughter, he seemed to have a backbone, and he kept complaining, but it turned out...
The day before yesterday, the factory guards swept through all the brothels in Beijing, and even arrested the two sons of the Li family, the Empress Dowager's two brothers, and today's two uncles.
