Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 139: Court Discussion
Xie Qian's words were agreed by Li Dongyang and Liu Jian. Both of them had very ugly expressions, but both of them also had concerns, and said: "I'm afraid it's hard to stop these two things. We have to take care of them." After some planning, adding to the matter of Mou Bin, the other party has smashed everything at once, this is going to make us tired of dealing with it!"

"It's a pity that the last time they impeached Marquis Shouning not only failed to hurt Marquis Shouning, but also made His Majesty take a higher look at Marquis Shouning." Xie Qian said with some resentment.

"When Wang Mang is humble, we should think about this matter carefully!" Liu Jian glanced at Xie Qian and said slowly.

Forbidden City, Xianyang Palace.

Zhu Hou looked at the Marquis of Shou Ning who appeared in front of him, and said helplessly, "Did something happen again?"

At this time, Shouning Hou's face was very haggard. His eyes lit up when he heard Zhu Houzhao's words, and then he hurriedly said: "People outside are impeaching me, saying that my relatives are meddling in politics!" After speaking, he looked at Zhu Houzhao with an aggrieved expression.

"You stole their business and ruined their jobs. They will naturally want to take revenge. What's the matter?" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, there will be a court at the Qing Palace later. The three cabinet ministers and the Jiuqing will participate in the meeting, it should be a discussion about the matter of the past few days, and the palace will also go there."

"After this court meeting, many things should be settled, and then you don't have to worry about this or that."

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Shou Ninghou breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became better. In fact, he came here to seek comfort, and now there are too many rumors about him.The Secretary of the General Administration received the question papers of his impeachment every day, which made Shou Ninghou a little flustered. Nothing really happened, right?Now with Zhu Houzhao's guarantee, Shou Ning Hou knew that there should be no problem.

"Shou Ninghou can go to Kunning Palace to see his mother, I should go to Qianqing Palace!" Zhu Houzhao glanced at the sky, and then said to Shou Ninghou.

Zhu Houzhao didn't let Shou Ninghou leave the palace, and the court discussion at Qianqing Palace didn't come to fruition, Shou Ninghou wouldn't be relieved, he would still run in, so let him wait here!
After leaving Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin to Qianqing Palace. When Zhu Houzhao came here, all the ministers had already arrived.This kind of small-scale court meeting is like a small meeting of high-level officials. There is a saying in later generations that it is called a big meeting and a small meeting, but in fact, it is similar in this era.This is the first time for Zhu Houzhao to participate in the court meeting, so he is very curious about everything.

"What are you looking at?" Zhu Youtang walked out from the inside, seeing his son looking around curiously, he couldn't help asking with a smile.

"It's the first time to participate in the court meeting, and I'm quite curious!" Zhu Houzhao said directly without looking for any reason.

Zhu Youtang waved his hand, and then said: "Actually, it's very boring. These people are difficult to deal with. Come along!" Zhu Youtang walked into the inner hall, and Zhu Houzhao naturally followed closely behind. People walked in together.

Although it is very troublesome to pay respects to the ceremony, it cannot be avoided. After everything is completed, the court meeting will officially begin.

Li Dongyang and Zhu Youtang, the cabinet ministers who presided over this court meeting, sat on the dragon chair, and Zhu Houzhao accompanied them, quietly waiting for the start of the discussion.

"Your Majesty, do you want to start?" After standing still, Li Dongyang turned around and bowed to Zhu Youtang, and then said.

Zhu Youtang nodded, and then said slowly, "Let's get started!"

Following Zhu Youtang's words, this time the court discussion has officially begun. Li Dongyang took a step forward, and then said slowly: "The first thing is that the Yangzhou private salt case is over. This time, the imperial court has to deal with it. According to the investigation by the imperial court, the culprit in the Yangzhou salt smuggling case is the Ye family."

"Jin Yiwei has ransacked Ye's family and arrested people. Ye Qi, the former Minister of Household Affairs, committed suicide in prison in shame and anger. Let's discuss this matter." After saying this, Li Dongyang took a step back.

All eyes were on Min Gui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. This matter was under his control, so this first opinion must be for him to speak.

Min Gui was the same year as Li Dongyang, and everyone present knew the relationship between Li Dongyang and Ye Qi. Under such circumstances, Min Gui's attitude was worth pondering.Everyone looked at Min Gui, including Zhu Houzhao. In fact, Zhu Houzhao was curious about what Min Gui would say and what he would do. The atmosphere in the hall became tense because of the first thing.

According to the imperial envoy's case report, the whole case was put on the Ye family's head. Ye Qi promoted the opening of the Nayin Bank in the court, and then the Ye family took advantage of this strategy to meddle in Yandao wantonly.The entire Lianghuai saltworks corruption case and private salt case were the work of the Ye family behind the scenes. If this big hat is confirmed, Ye Qi's death will be in vain. All the main characters of the Ye family will be beheaded, and the rest They also want to be sent to the army.

Min Gui had no expression on his face, and walked out with a calm look. Min Gui said directly, "I think you should be severely punished!"

"Ye Qi is the secretary of the household department of the imperial court. He makes policies with selfish intentions. This is not the way to be a minister. Although Ye Qi committed suicide in shame and indignation, the Ye family has suffered a disaster that has never been seen since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The Yan government has become absurd because of the Ye family. This is a joke, I think the Ye family should be punished severely according to the law, and from the Ye family down, everyone involved in the case should be punished severely according to the law."

Zhu Houzhao took a look at Min Gui. He didn't have much contact with the minister of punishment, but Min Gui felt that this person was interesting!

From the Ye family down, everyone is strict and severe, and the Ye family punishes them severely according to the law. There is knowledge in this. Apparently Min Yu thinks that the Ye family should be punished, and they should be punished severely according to the law.

No one expected that Min Gui would say such a thing. Although there was some caring in it, it was meant as it should be, and this level was not even regarded as favoritism.Everyone turned their heads to look at Li Dongyang again. Could it be that Li Dongyang gave up on the Ye family?If this is the case, it would be cruel enough. Everyone looked at Li Dongyang again, and saw him standing there with a serious face, his expression unchanged.

"You can speak freely if you have any ideas!" Li Dongyang said directly, ignoring everyone's gaze.

But everyone is not a fool, and this matter has nothing to do with me, why bother stepping in, what is the benefit of helping the Ye family?Li Dongyang's gratitude?Min Gui didn't care, only those who were stupid would care.Of course, no one would do anything to step on the Ye family, because it would be criticized by others, and maybe even hated by the Ye family's party members.
