Chapter 883 His Coming Is the Will
Outside the Guangning Earl's Mansion, Jiang Qingzhi stopped his horse. He turned his eyes and looked at the Ministry of Revenue official on the ground and asked, "Who knows about this?"
The general flag didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Jiang Qingzhi looked at him, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Hello, sir. I know about this matter."
"explain."
"This man came to the Earl's Mansion to ask for the account book, but the Earl's Mansion refused to give it to him. The two sides had an argument and then started fighting."
"How many people are there on the other side?"
"Three people."
"How many people are there in the Ministry of Revenue?"
"Just him."
"Who makes the first move?"
"Someone from the Bo Mansion."
Yang Xiao just came out and got furious when he heard this. "Why didn't you say anything when this guy mocked me as a parasite?"
Jiang Qing got off his horse and walked to the side of the official from the Ministry of Revenue, "Call the doctor."
The official from the Ministry of Revenue had blood all over his face and several footprints on his lower abdomen.
He breathed weakly, "Long Wilbur, this subordinate...did not bow his head."
"I know." Jiang Qingzhi nodded. "The Ministry of Revenue is furious, and His Majesty is furious."
The official smiled with relief, "In this case, my death is worth it."
Tang Shunzhi frowned slightly, "Why don't you ask a doctor to come?"
The general smiled bitterly, "I said it, but he refused."
Tang Shunzhi was startled, and Sun Bu Tong said, "The Ministry of Personnel said that if the officials who went down to check the land this time get into trouble, the Ministry of Personnel will not sit idly by."
"Are you seeking death?" Tang Shunzhi sighed.
"That's right." Sun Bu Tong said, "If it were me, I would also feel that death is worth it."
Jiang Qingzhi straightened up and then looked at Yang Xiao.
I don't know when a lot of people appeared on both sides of the street. They looked well-dressed, at least at the level of rich slaves. There were also people in brocade clothes among them.
The first shot of the new policy is finally coming.
How will Jiang Qingzhi deal with this matter?
All eyes are on you.
"Meet Long Wilbur!"
They are all uncles, but Yang Xiao took the initiative to salute.
Jiang Qingzhi did not return the greeting, but asked, "Why did you do it?"
"He said Benbo is a parasite!" Yang Xiao said angrily.
This is humiliating a powerful person.
"My ancestor once followed Emperor Chengzu on five expeditions to the grasslands, and only then did he earn the title of Guangning Earl. If Emperor Chengzu were still alive, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch someone humiliate the descendants of his generals!"
This was the idea of the staff, to use Emperor Chengzu as a shield.
If Emperor Chengzu had not succeeded in his campaign to quell the rebellion, his descendants would now be no different from the princes, sitting back and waiting to die in their fiefdoms.
Therefore, the emperors of Emperor Chengzu's line all regarded this ancestor as the founder of the new dynasty.
Before Emperor Chengzu, we do not recognize any other emperor except Emperor Taizu Gao.
Moving out the tablet of Emperor Chengzu is equivalent to holding the tablet of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang above your head. If you have the guts, Jiang Qingzhi, try it.
Most of the people on both sides were spies sent by various families to gather information. They were all sneering at this moment. Someone praised: "Yang Xiao's method is good. Jiang Qingzhi is in trouble."
"If we delay for a while, there will be a turning point." Someone leaked the secret.
……
"Foster father, there is a memorial!"
It was not common for Zhao Wenhua to personally deliver memorials to the Emperor, unless the matter involved the great interests of the Yan Party or was a major event.
Yan Song narrowed his eyes and asked, "What memorial is this?"
"It's a memorial impeaching Jiang Qingzhi!" Zhao Wenhua handed over several memorials.
Yan Song took it and looked at it carefully. Yan Shifan took a copy and glanced at his sworn brother with disdain in his eyes.
How could Yan Shifan not know that Zhao Wenhua was dissatisfied with him? But the more this happened, the more Yan Shifan liked to belittle Zhao Wenhua in public.
"Dad, it's to impeach Jiang Qingzhi for spying on the emperor's authority." Yan Shifan's eyes lit up, "This title may seem general, but it can be used to write a story."
"It's said here." Yan Song pointed at the memorial. "Wang Yiqi of the Ministry of War is a believer of Mohism. The word believer is engraved in his bones. Jiang Hua of the Ministry of Works is submissive to Jiang Qingzhi. Xiong Jia of the Ministry of Personnel was once saved by Jiang Qingzhi. Even Lu Song of the Ministry of Revenue has flirted with Jiang Qingzhi. Four of the six ministries are one with Jiang Qingzhi. Isn't this... sinister?!"
"Your Majesty won't believe it." Cui Yuan came.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to believe me." Yan Shifan smiled strangely, "Have you forgotten the story of Di Qing in the former Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Wenhua was delighted. "The charges that those people used to impeach Di Qing were mostly absurd and unruly. Even Di Qing's dog had horns. The chickens in his house ran to the roof and crowed in the middle of the night... Renzong didn't believe it. But public opinion was overwhelming!"
"Those people don't care whether Renzong believes it or not. All they need is an excuse. An excuse to start a fight!" Yan Shifan's one eye showed a smile, "If Jiang Qingzhi takes ruthless action to deal with Yang Xiao, it will only make the matter worse."
"Is it finally here?" Cui Yuan let out a long sigh and said angrily, "Now everyone in the world wants to peel off Jiang Qingzhi's skin!"
"Go get some information!" Yan Shifan turned around impatiently, "Memorial... Dad, should the memorial be sent to His Majesty?"
Yan Song hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty has just fallen asleep. The impeachment memorial..."
Cui Yuan said in a sinister tone: "There have been many memorials impeaching Jiang Qingzhi. Your Majesty's health is the most important thing!"
Yan Song nodded, "Let's talk about it when your majesty wakes up."
Yan Shifan smiled and said, "That's perfect."
Cough!
There is a cough outside.
The duty room immediately became quiet.
Yan Song picked up the memorial, and Yan Shifan sat down, pretending to be thinking hard.
Cui Yuan held his chin with one hand, as if thinking about political affairs.
Zhao Wenhua stood at one side of the table, leaning forward, as if listening to the teachings of his old adoptive father. The door curtain was lifted, and it was a eunuch. Then Huang Jin came in, turned his eyes to glance at the people on duty, and asked, "I heard that there is a memorial coming?"
Who is leaking the information?
And so fast!
It must be the news that was leaked by the Tongzhengshi.
Yan Song was startled, knowing that the matter had been known by Emperor Jiajing's spies.
Yan Song stood up and said, "I just received a memorial, and I was thinking of sending it to Your Majesty right away. By the way, has Your Majesty rested yet?"
Huang Jin glanced at several memorials. "His Majesty heard about this and ordered that if there are any impeachment memorials today, they should be sent immediately."
This means that he wants to take charge personally.
"Yes." Yan Song handed over the memorial. Huang Jin took it and took a look. It was indeed an impeachment of Jiang Qingzhi. He nodded slightly. "Let's go."
After he left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Huang Jin naturally could not give Yan Song and his son such pressure. The pressure came from the Taoist priest behind him.
"Be careful!" Yan Song warned.
Zhao Wenhua said, "What are you afraid of? My godfather has good intentions."
This man is too bold... Yan Shifan glanced at him and said, "At this critical moment, you can't make mistakes. If you make a mistake... you will lose your head."
Zhao Wenhua was disdainful in his heart, but smiled, "Yes."
After receiving the memorial, the Taoist priest sat at the head of the bed and read it, closing his eyes. "Go and tell Qingzhi about this. Besides... forget it. The general is away, so don't try to restrain him."
"Yes!"
……
The main gate of Guangning Marquis's Mansion was on one side of the street, and many people came from both ends at this moment.
The doctor also came and squatted there to check the injuries of the Ministry of Revenue official.
Yang Xiao, the Earl of Guangning who moved Emperor Chengzu out, smiled, glanced at his staff, and decided to give him a raise.
The onlookers and informants were talking about the situation, saying that Jiang Qingzhi was in trouble. If he took ruthless measures, the powerful people in the capital would take advantage of the situation to launch an offensive, bring out the tablet of Emperor Chengzu and force the emperor to death.
The second Zuo Shunmen incident!
coming soon!
In the crowd, a guard from the East Depot turned around and said to a woman, "Report this to the Supervisor immediately. This is not a good thing. If not handled properly, it will cause public outrage."
The woman held a swaddling baby in her arms and glanced down, "Yes."
The guard turned around, looked at Jiang Qingzhi, and whispered: "The governor said that although this matter has nothing to do with us, it concerns His Majesty, we can't just sit there and do nothing!"
"Do you think it makes sense?"
Jiang Qingzhi took out a cigarette. Since Jiang Qingzhi had a child, Dou Jialan stayed at home more often.
"Young Master." Just as Sun Chonglou was about to go up, a figure flashed and the chief consultant had already brought the fire medium to the boss's eyes.
Jiang Qingzhi lowered his head slightly, and Boll quickly handed the firewood higher.
After taking two puffs of the firewood, Jiang Qingzhi looked up. Yang Xiao said angrily, "The Guangning Marquis family is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and I am loyal to Your Majesty, but what did I get for this loyalty? I got humiliated by a petty official. I can endure the humiliation, but my family can't... bring it here."
Two guards carried the bruised and battered 'murderer' over.
Yang Xiao pointed at the servant and said, "This is the man who did it."
——You can deal with him if you want.
But, this is not the end!
"How dare a minor official humiliate a great general of the imperial court?"
"They say that civil officials treat military officials as slaves. Today I saw that it is true."
"This is the moment of great victory, the moment when the warriors will see a glimmer of hope, but then they will be suppressed?"
"Hey!"
Amid the mocking voices, there was a hint of pride in Yang Xiao's eyes.
First, the tablet of Emperor Chengzu was brought out to make Jiang Qingzhi afraid to act rashly. Then, a self-torture trick was used to hand over the servant who had committed the crime.
When did warriors become so worthless?
He was actually humiliated by the civil servants as a parasite.
Jiang Qingzhi looked at him, "How long has it been?"
Yang Xiao was puzzled, "What?"
"Ben Bo asks you, how long has the Ministry of Revenue been asking for the account books?"
"My Lord, the day before yesterday!" The official from the Ministry of Revenue was lying there, looking more energetic. The doctor said, "He won't die."
There was disappointment in the eyes of the official from the Ministry of Revenue. "I came to ask for the account book the day before yesterday, and was very polite, but... cough cough!" He coughed a few times, spat out a mouthful of blood, and panted, "I was polite and well-mannered, but the Earl's Mansion kept shirking it. Today is the deadline, so I said I wanted to go in and see the Earl of Guangning. The servant stopped me, and I said there was an imperial decree. The servant said to bring the imperial decree here first..."
Jiang Qingzhi raised his hand, stopped the Ministry of Revenue official's description, and asked, "Is that so?"
Yang Xiao said: "I will need some time to check the account books at home..."
Jiang Qingzhi suddenly waved his hand.
Snapped!
Yang Xiao covered his face and first glanced at his staff, who were stunned. Then he looked at Jiang Qingzhi in disbelief, "How dare you hit me?"
This gentleman was spoiled since childhood, his parents were reluctant to scold him, let alone hit him. His childhood experiences made him feel that he was superior to others, so he was still not afraid after something happened.
After being slapped in public, Yang Xiao subconsciously kicked the man because of the huge humiliation he felt.
There was a sigh in the crowd.
"You shouldn't!"
"To suffer!"
Tang Shunzhi was just behind him, and Sun Chonglou muttered beside him, "I was wondering why the young master wanted to find out Yang Xiao's character before coming. It turns out he was setting a trap for him!"
"Yang Xiao is arrogant, but he doesn't know how serious this matter is." Tang Shunzhi smiled and said, "Qingzhi is the leader of the new policy, and his coming here means an order!"
Jiang Qingzhi dodged the kick and drew his sword.
Swing a knife.
Swish!
One foot landed.
Jiang Qingzhi put away his knife and looked at the crowd.
The butt of the medicinal cigarette in his mouth flashed, he exhaled the smoke and asked:
“Who wants the will?”
