Wanli Xinming

Chapter 316
"The queen mother, my uncle already knew that he was wrong, and asked the emperor to spare him once. After all, your nephew died unexpectedly, and his old man is in a hurry."

The Empress Dowager Cisheng listened to her brother Li Gao's intercession, her face as if she had a frost on her face.She suddenly sighed and said, "I've had enough of your troubles!"

"Since we entered Prince Yu's Mansion, our family has stopped working as a mason. These days are rich and expensive. In the third year of Wanli, I was no longer in charge - the emperor even gave your family 20 taels of cotton clothes to do business."

"How do you do it? Take home 15 taels! I, Empress Dowager Bingzheng, have lost all face! How have I ever rewarded you so little? It's because your family can't open the pot and do such a thing! It's a pity that the cotton coat was not sent to Ji Town. Otherwise, if it triggers a mutiny, is there any room for redemption?"

His brother was sweating when he heard it.In his mouth, he said, "Uncle, the Queen Mother, you don't know how many times our brothers have persuaded me."

After listening to the Queen Mother Li, she sneered: "Stop! Don't say that, it won't stain my ears. Who handled that business? There's still face to say! It’s okay to raise a small one here. Forget it, say it to smear my mouth, I have never heard of such a country uncle since ancient times!”

"The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. Li Changgui is young, with all kinds of wine, sex, wealth, and style, and the wind is blowing. Can we let that Qiu Xizi slap him to death?"

"It stands to reason that I am the child's aunt. But since entering this place, has the child ever called me in front of my eyes and asked me to take a look. To be honest, I don't kiss him!"

"Qiu Xizi was sentenced to hang, don't you know what happened? It's all due to the royal decency! If people don't give up, they will send Changgui to the medical school for examination, and find out the dark disease, Qiu Xizi will get Exiled with a spinal rod, is it your face or the face of my queen mother?"

"The emperor looked at my face and added the punishment to beheading - why did you come to me and the emperor to say thank you! Our mothers owe you Uncle Wuqing's family?"

This ramble has nothing to do with Wu Qingbo splashing around in the court and beating up court officials, but Li Gao could only listen with his head down.Don't say that this is the queen mother who used to rule the government, or her own wife. When the nagging thing is not the point, men can only listen.

The queen mother vented a bit and felt more comfortable.Only then did he ask, "What on earth did Wu Qingbo do in the field, causing the foreign court to rise up and attack?" This is to ask for details.

Li Gaodao complained about Qiu Xizi's injustice for Hu Yong, and Shao Boti recounted the previous story that he couldn't persuade the supervisor to cut off officials.Then he said, "Dad got up in a rage when he saw that Shao Boti surrounded Qiu Xizi and refused to kill him, and wanted to beat the county magistrate."

"The county magistrate said: 'Uncle Li received the favor of the country, so how dare he come to beat the court officials?' Dad said: 'I'll kill you, a confused official, so what?'"

Empress Dowager Li frowned.Seeing this, Li Gao was afraid that the queen mother would say something fair.Immediately blackheartedly arranged: "The county magistrate said, 'Don't say that you are a mason, just have a daughter, what's the benefit to the country? You come to beat me, forgive me if I dare not kill you?' - Daddy because he saw him I humiliated the Queen Mother, and only beat him a few times."

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li's face changed slightly, and she said coldly: "The emperor is pure filial piety, if the official said that, he would have been slaughtered by the emperor long ago. Don't make up nonsense and tell the truth." At the same time, she thought that she would not make up nonsense. , It's really mud that can't support the wall.

Li Gao's foolish nonsense was suddenly seen through, so he had to say honestly: "Daddy chased that Shao Boti to fight, and that Shao Boti was arrogant, but circled around Qiu Xizi. When Li Kuan saw that Daddy couldn't catch up, he rushed to the court. Block that county magistrate with Daddy."

"I was caught by the county magistrate and said that the second brother trespassed on the court and asked the prisoner to deal with him. The prisoner was stunned by him, and he didn't want to send someone to expel Li Kuan, so he made a noise there."

"It was noisy for a while, and the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall actually issued a warrant, saying that the execution was suspended. The prison beheading officials walked away—the prisoners were all taken back. Only Qiu Xizi was forcibly taken away by Shao Boti."

"Father was so anxious that he hit a bench behind the magistrate's back, broke his head, and was sent to medical school in a coma on the spot."

The Queen Mother Li heard Fu forehead sighing and said angrily: "No one can worry about it! Now that the emperor has vigorously promoted and appointed Xungui, the civil servants have long been angry. You are like this, aren't you poking a hornet's nest? What should I do? "

Li Gao said: "What the queen mother said. Now the front and rear doors of the house have been blocked by civil officials - I'm not making up nonsense, I climbed the wall and turned to Uncle Chengyi's house, and only got on the carriage from the west corner gate of his house to see you. If so, you can't come out."

Empress Dowager Li sighed: "If the emperor wants to deal with it, he has to tell me what to do - what do you want me to do, can you say no at that time?"

Li Gao smiled bitterly: "My uncle and his grandfather have no face in front of the emperor." Empress Dowager Li scolded: "I have lost my mind! Who are my grandfather and uncle?"

Li Gao was taken aback and said: "I mean that Wu Qingbo's family is in the emperor's heart, and they are not as good as the county magistrate. I heard that the emperor praised Shao Boti well, saying that he is an example of an official who really put 'people's will and public opinion' in his heart. ."

"If the county magistrate can't save him, Dad's life will not be saved. Even if the emperor won't make it difficult for Wu Qingbo for his filial piety, but if he takes the title away, the Queen Mother's face will not look good."

Empress Dowager Li listened and said: "It's better to take the title and let your family drink the northwest wind. Before, I used to bully others and take shares everywhere. Every time I come here, there is nothing serious."

Having said that, it is already the 12th year of Wanli at this time, if the emperor really wants to clean up Wu Qingbo, the queen mother has nothing to do.Uncle Wu Qing asked to see him many times before, but the emperor declined all of them—it meant that the emperor had no intention of being close to his natal family.

Empress Dowager Li could only send Li Gao away, and when she waited for the emperor to come to pay his respects, she asked the emperor what regulations to punish Wu Qingbo.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Li was worried, Zhu Yijun quickly comforted: "The magistrate woke up in the medical school - let Wu Qingbo bring some gold and silver to see him. The Earl Wu Qingbo is going to be demoted."

Empress Dowager Li was a little displeased, but she didn't dare to use her family's personal feelings to harm state affairs - Wu Qingbo's behavior was really bad.He had to change the subject and said, "Then what did Qiu Xizi say? If he really does credit, his punishment will be reduced?"

Zhu Yijun shook his head and thought about it before saying, "Qiu Xizi doesn't know much, and the National Security Bureau is analyzing the truth and falsehood of what he said. If he really does meritorious deeds and gives some money to his family, the punishment may not be able to be reduced. I think, If people in the world have the idea of ​​equalizing their merits and demerits, the severe punishment and the law will inevitably be relaxed." Because the content of Qiu Xizi's account needs further evidence and verification, and there are many people in the palace, Zhu Yijun made a slur.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li recited the Buddha involuntarily.Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "The queen mother doesn't have to worry about this festival. For the sake of royal dignity, this Qiu Xizi will not be able to live. Moreover, after the Miyun robbery case, the next year will be sweeping the world to eradicate evil - to kill the previous batch. Even those who support them behind their backs will be dealt with together."
