Idle courtiers

Chapter 318 What has this officer found?
That's right, Zhou Nan really guessed right, Gong Qing wanted to attack the emperor.

What is a speaker?
To speak is to open your mouth to speak without taking any responsibility.As a spokesperson, your main task is to supervise the officials and find fault with them.As an official of science and technology, how many officials you impeach each year will be included in the performance appraisal.The more officials you impeach, the greater your official position, and the greater your political achievements.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you must be able to withstand the retaliation of officials who have been impeached.

In 38, Gong Qing was punished to death for offending Yan Song.

But the impeachment of the emperor does not have this risk.

Speaking of this, some people may be surprised, Emperor Jiajing, you dare to play, and you are too impatient to live. In the past 41 years, have there been fewer officials who died under the court stick or were exiled?
This has to be explained carefully. Jiajing killed and exiled so many officials in his early years because of this political event.This matter is no longer as simple as a matter of speech officials seeking trouble for the emperor, but also involves whether the emperor will inherit the legal lineage of the former emperor as a brother or as a descendant.

It involves imperial power and power struggles.

In the power struggle, it is naturally either you die or I live, and no compromise is allowed.Direct physical destruction is the kingly way once and for all.

If the officials scolded the emperor for his lack of personal morality and extravagant life, it would be harmless.In order to show his broad mind, even a strong monarch like Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Chengzuwen would probably laugh it off.

After the emperor's throne was stabilized, or because of his advanced age, his temper receded, and Emperor Jiajing gradually became more lenient in his administration.

As a result, the eunuchs began to scold the emperor for having a problem with his life style, royalizing ten daughters at night, and extravagance and waste.Finally, he added angrily, "Your Majesty, I must criticize you. Your biggest shortcoming is that you work too hard and don't pay attention to your dragon body."

If he could anger the emperor and get spanked, he would be famous all over the world.

Why didn't Emperor Jiajing know that these officials were here to cheat the court staff to gain fame, and at the beginning he would reprimand them a few times, but they became more energetic in the end.It was so annoying that I simply ignored it in the end: I will not be fooled by you!
As a speech officer, Gong Qing naturally knew the benefits of going to the emperor to find the emperor's bad luck.

Jiajing loved money, and sent eunuchs to get money by bypassing the imperial court.In this way, the interests of literati and bureaucrats will inevitably be touched, and public opinion will boil.This time, if there is trouble on the silver boat of internal money, the elders of the imperial court will definitely stand by him. At that time, the emperor will be able to pinch his nose and make a fool of himself.

Even if my reputation as a righteous minister has been established, why not do it?
The emperor is the ultimate goal of Qingliu Yushi!
Yes, Gong Qing felt like winning a lottery.

When he took Zhou Nan earlier, he felt that he had won the second prize, but he didn't expect a pair of lottery numbers to be the special prize.

Seeing Zhou Nan and Feng Yudao chatting and laughing, he sneered in his heart: Don't look at you guys having fun now, just make a list later.

At the moment, without talking nonsense, he directly stepped onto the silver boat and shouted: "The Yushitai is doing business, idlers wait to get out of the way!"

Master Yuan was shocked: "Gong, you've lost your mind and gone crazy, what do you want to do? Quick, quick, stop him!"

The two soldiers wanted to fight, but they were pushed to the ground by Gong Qing, and rolled into a ball: "Let's go, the censor dares to stop, you want to die!"

His strength was so great that Deputy Commander Feng was taken aback: Neijiaquan is so powerful!
It was too late, but soon, Gong Qing had disappeared into the cabin.

Master Yuan couldn't help but shouted loudly and chased after him.

Zhou Nan was startled by his fierce reaction, his heart moved, and Feng Yudao followed.

Entering the cabin, I saw that there were bamboo poles more than one meter long and the thickness of the mouth of a bowl, tied with hemp rope, and a seal with a red official seal was pasted on it. Gong Qing only tapped on it with his hands.

Needless to say, the sticks are filled with 50 taels of silver cakes, which is commonly known as rip-offs, which is probably what Mr. Gong looks like now.

Seeing Mr. Yuan, Gong Qing yelled coldly: "Mr. Yuan, how much is the total amount of money in this boat?"

Master Yuan said angrily: "Can you control it?"

"My lord Yuan, let me ask you, this seal is stamped with the seal of the Lianghuai Salt Division. Has Your Majesty spent the company's funds? Answer the truth! How much money?" Gong Qing shouted with all her strength, Xiao There were endless echoes in the small cabin, making people's ears buzzing.

Deputy Commander Feng sighed again in his heart, he never thought that this little old man had such a powerful spirit, a noble spirit, and pure internal energy!
As soon as he drank it like this, Master Yuan replied subconsciously: 20 taels... the surname Gong, what does it matter to you?

Gong Qing sneered: "It must be you people from Lianghuai Salt Division who smuggled a large amount of cash under the banner of His Majesty's internal funds. Let me ask, what do you want to do?"

Master Yuan: "What is the emperor's inner treasury and silver used for, and you deserve to ask?"

Gong Qing: "Okay, I'll ask you again. You said it's the emperor's internal funds. As far as I know, the internal funds are all in the charge of the Lijian. A large sum of money is docked in Tongzhou. Why don't you see the servants come to pick it up?" ? Your Master Yuan is the clerk of the Twelve Supervisors of the Inner Palace, and is your Deputy Commander Feng a eunuch?"

Speaking of this, he shouted loudly: "I am the supervisor of the North Zhili of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. First, I will detain your ship's official money and hand it over to the Secretary. Come, seal it!"

"How dare you!" Master Yuan's complexion changed drastically.

Gong Qing snorted disdainfully: "I have a public heart, and if the arrest is not released, it is reasonable and legal, so why dare you? Master Yuan, I advise you, you should report to your superior as soon as possible to negotiate with our Metropolitan Procuratorate For good."

Yes, I want to make a big deal out of this matter, and the Son of Heaven will come forward to negotiate with me in person.In the end, he was beaten with a court stick by Long live, and sent to the prison for half a year.Haha, wonderful, really wonderful!

Mr. Yuan cursed in his heart, changed his face, and smiled apologetically, "Gong Yushi, can you take a step to speak?"

It is another person who can take a step to speak. The previous surname Zhou said so, and this surname Yuan is also the same.There is nothing to say, but it is stuffed with red envelopes.

My lord managed to win the lottery today, but it wasn't for money.

"I'm sorry, I have something to say here." Gong Qing's entourage also entered the cabin, picked up a pen and paper to write a seal on the old silver stick.

Immediately, Master Yuan was speechless.After a long time, he said: "Wait a minute! Master Gong, to tell you the truth, this is the money raised by Yan Shoufu. Do you really want Mr. Ge to take care of this matter in person? The money is raised from Lianghuai Salt Division, Mr. Ge himself Useful."

"What... what did I find out..." Gong Qing's complexion changed drastically.

He has tasted enough of Yan Song's strength in the past two years, and it is really unlucky to step on him today.

Offending the emperor can gain a great reputation, and the political benefits will naturally be inexhaustible.But to offend Yan Song, that would not be of any benefit.Are there still few people who have died at his hands in these years?Xia Yan, Shen Lian, Yang Jisheng, and now there is Wang Shu.

I thought I won a big prize, but the prize turned out to be a poisonous snake.

Gong Qing's mood at this moment is as if she won a lottery with tens of millions in the post-modern society.But when he excitedly went to receive the award, he was told that your banknote was forged.Not only the bonus was wasted, but also the legal responsibility was investigated.

Mr. Gong is also straightforward, arching his hand: "Offended, leave."

Turn around and leave.
