Shocked!
The ministers were shocked!
They didn't expect that Guo You really dared to say this!
The lineage of King Jingjiang is indeed the easiest to be ignored by the court.
After all, King Jingjiang has a special status. If you say he is a county king, the rewards and treatment given to him by previous emperors are equivalent to those of a prince. If you say he is a prince, they are just a little bit behind.
Therefore, the King of Jingjiang has always been very honest and obedient, staying in his fiefdom of Guilin Mansion without leaving the front door, eating, drinking, having fun, and creating villains.
The imperial court liked such clan lords very much.
As long as you don't cause trouble, your salary and treatment will not be less!
Even though many courtiers knew who the King of Jingjiang was and what they had done in Guilin Mansion!
For example, Xia Yuanji, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Hubu, as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Hubu and the "Great Situ" and "Great Sinong" in the mouth of the ministers, doesn't he know what the Jingjiang King's lineage is doing in Guilin and even Guangxi?
But, so what if you know?
Since Emperor Taizu Gao, the imperial court has given special treatment to the lineage of King Jingjiang.
Emperor Gao, Emperor Jianwen, and Emperor Yongle, the rewards given by these three great emperors to the successive kings of Jingjiang were all equivalent to those of princes!
Emperor Yongle joined the large sect from a small sect, and he was the vassal king who seized power, so he suppressed all the vassal princes openly and covertly.
However, His Majesty the Emperor appears to be very generous and benevolent to the King of Jingjiang, and he has given them all the rewards they deserve.
What do you want the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to say about this?
After all, King Jingjiang's lineage is very honest and obedient. Apart from committing many evil acts in the fiefdom, the political direction has always been clear. This is enough for the emperor and the court!
So when his subordinate Guo You, a doctor in the household department, came out to prepare for the memorial, Xia Yuanji stopped him in time.
Old Xia Tou knew very well that Guo You was young and energetic, and he was so passionate that he disliked the powerful and the common people, so Guo You would definitely reveal all the evil deeds of King Jingjiang's lineage in Guilin Mansion.
However, the King of Han may not think anything of it. What will His Majesty the Emperor think when he learns of this?
Even he, Guo You, cannot bear the crime of alienating bloodline relatives!
There was silence in the hall, and all the ministers lowered their heads.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Guo You and showed a kind smile.
"Mr. Guo, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Han, Zhu Shouqian, the first generation King of Jingjiang, knew the books but did not follow the constitution. He was compared with the villains; he was surly and sinister... When he first arrived in Guilin, he built hundreds of palaces and temples, and the people of the country suffered. For a long time!"
Since the King of Han asked me to speak, then I will speak!
Guo You has nothing to be afraid of. He had impeached King Jingjiang before, but was ignored by His Majesty the Emperor.
Now that King Zhu Gaoxu of Han dares to attack the kings, then he dares to pass the knife to His Highness the King of Han to eradicate the cancer of King Jingjiang!
"The second generation of Jingjiang King Zhu Chanyi was ordered to visit all the kings and uncles to learn the ways of governing the country. He was respectful and law-abiding, and was fond of learning and good calligraphy. However, he died young in the sixth year of Yongle."
"The third generation of King Zhu Zuojing of Jingjiang has no sense of fatherliness, and he even imitates his grandfather, who has done many evil things and is not handsome!"
"The King of Jingjiang and a group of auxiliary generals from the same lineage colluded with each other. They met with the annual levy together, and those who ordered fire were waiting to go to the county. They did not accept the true character and doubled the money. This is the number one crime... levying excessive taxes and increasing taxes without authorization!"
"The Jingjiang royal family controlled salt and drove up prices, causing a serious shortage of salt for the people in Guilin and surrounding prefectures. They used this to become rich and support the royal palace's huge expenditures... This is the second most serious crime, driving up prices and preying on the common people!"
"The Prince of Jingjiang and his generals were not paid enough for their annual salary, but they sent people to ask for money directly, often three times the amount. The money they got was often sold in the market for private salt, and then turned around to seek profit, which made the people suffer... This This is the third most serious crime, colluding with officials and businessmen for personal gain!"
"The King of Jingjiang built a Xiangtang in front of his young daughter's grave, built a wall of more than ten miles outside, and built more than fifty houses. He often sent his concubines and palace officials to send more than forty people to Yaoshan Temple, Quanzhen Temple, Lengshui, and Qingquan. We visited two temples, showed off violence and marched out of the city, and the people were trampled and humiliated, leaving dozens of people dead... This is the fourth most serious crime, disrespecting human life!"
"King Jingjiang..."
Guo Youyi angrily enumerated the ten major crimes of the King of Jingjiang, which made the civil and military officials in the court dumbfounded.
One is to marvel at Guo You's courage, you really dare to say that!
Second, they were surprised by the ability of King Jingjiang's lineage to commit suicide. If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, they would have never known that King Jingjiang had done such a heartless thing!
Each of these incidents was enough to kill Jingjiang King Zhu Zuojing several times!
Zhu Gaoxu's face was as normal as usual, but when he heard what happened behind him, his old face turned as gloomy as water.
By the time Guo You finished speaking, Prince Han was already furious.
"Gu Zuo, who is the censor of Guangxi Road? What does he do for food?!"
Seeing the Prince of Han angrily calling his name, Gu Zuogu Jianzi could only bite the bullet and go out in line, and replied tremblingly: "Your Highness, the Royal Censor is responsible for supervising all officials. This matter of the Jingjiang Palace..."
Just kidding, if the imperial court had given him the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he, Gu Zuo, would have led his younger brother of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to confiscate the homes of all these clan princes one by one!
However, even if he had this power, Gu Zuo wouldn't dare to do it!
After all, he is a nobleman of Tianhuang and a blood relative of the Tian family!
If these things happened to a courtier, it would be enough to kill his whole family several times.
However, since he is a noble person from Tianhuang, his guilt can be reduced to one level.
And compared with the correct political direction, the evil things they did seem not that big.
Zhu Gaoxu was startled when he heard this, and then he smiled bitterly.
Damn this feudal society!
Whether they are ministers or common people, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net are always afraid of the Tian family royal family.
Even the supervisory censor did not dare to impeach the kings for their faults. You can imagine how arrogant and domineering these stinky fish and rotten shrimps were in the fiefdom, dominating and dominating, and they could be called as existences like earth emperors!
"Jin Chun, Guo You, you two personally go to Guilin to investigate the crimes committed by King Jingjiang's family. Every one of them will be arrested and brought to justice. All the property and property of Yiying will be seized, and his palace will be copied to me. !”
Jin Chun is the minister of the Ministry of Justice and an important minister of the third rank, so he can naturally calm the situation when he comes forward.
And Guo You, a young man who is outspoken and outspoken, has secretly been collecting crimes for so long. Letting him follow Jin Chun to investigate the case can also add political achievements to his qualifications.
After all, this Guo You has an extraordinary background, is talented in his own right, and what’s even more rare is that his blood is not cold yet, and he is worthy of Zhu Gaoxu’s key training.
Guo You is Guo Zi's only son. Based on this alone, Zhu Gaoxu will pull this kid into his chariot.
Guo Zi was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongwu. Before the Battle of Jingnan, he was the chief envoy of Peking. As a result, he secretly defected to King Zhu Di of Yan.
Then the Battle of Jingnan broke out, and Guo Zi assisted his son Zhu Gaochi to garrison in Peiping. Zhu Di went to war for three years. Guo Zi was in charge of military pay. He was once praised by Zhu Di as "Xiao He of the Han Dynasty"!
After Zhu Di ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Guo Zi served as the first Hubu Shangshu. Then Zhu Di planned to move the capital, so he created a court team in Peiping. Guo Zi served as the Xingbu Shangshu, unified the six ministries in Beiping, and was also in charge of the Chief Secretary of Beiping.
If Xia Yuanji is Emperor Yongle's pocketbook, then Guo Zi is Emperor Yongle's chief steward, and the latter is currently in charge of all affairs in the new capital of Peking.
Zhu Gaoxu's next plan to reform commercial taxation involves Ming Dynasty taxation, and it is destined to be impossible to bypass the two money and grain experts Guo Zi and Xia Yuanji.
If we get the cooperation of the two of them, it will be a big deal.
