Chapter 105: Heaven's Heart is Unpredictable

"I, please ask Your Majesty to dismiss Zu Yi and investigate and deal with it to safeguard the crisis in Shandong!!"

Then, a large number of officials came out, and the officials of the Censorate glared at them. The Censorate finally had a chance to make a comeback. Will these people kill him?!

Gao Wei looked at Zheng Yu deeply. Zheng Yu was a powerful figure in the cabinet of the aristocratic family. He stood up and said, and naturally responded to his words.

[But, you know that I intend to support Zu Yi and know that this time is of great significance to me, but you still come to oppose me. Are you... the one who is loyal to me or the family behind you?!]

Gao Wei's eyes were unpredictable. At this time, Fang Gongyi, the Minister of Personnel, stood up and sang a counter-topic with Zheng Yu: "I dare not agree with what Zheng Shangshu said!"

He looked at Zheng Yu and other officials and said, "Shangshu Zheng just blamed the great chaos in Shandong on the censors, and the officials did not agree with this!"

"The Censor once came to Shandong, he stabilized the situation in Mount Tai in one fell swoop, and followed the clues to solve the major case of the Fire Dragon Burning Warehouse. I wondered what the Censor was wrong?"

Zheng Yu said proudly: "There is nothing wrong with the censor's disaster relief, and it is nothing wrong with solving major cases! But he shouldn't have expanded the scope and involved the entire Shandong!"

"As he said, how many officials can stay in the entire Shandong prefectures and counties? What should we do if the situation in Shandong? Could it be that the court would not have to do these people after the disaster relief?"

"Zheng Shangshu means to let those worms and rats continue to stay in their original positions, and not pursue anything, and let them harm the countryside? Yes, right?"

A young Censorate official seemed very angry and asked: "If we really want to follow what Zheng Shangshu said, then there is no need for the court to provide disaster relief! Because you all ignore these worms that caused chaos in Shandong! If they are released, they will continue to arouse money and harm the people. There will be another fire dragon burning warehouse! If the year is unfavorable and it is another disaster year, will the court still have to provide disaster relief like today?

This is Han Li, who impeached Hu Changren at the time. He was born in a poor family and was in office for six years and was awarded all the examinations. Therefore, Jian was promoted to the Censorate in the heart of the Emperor. He is now one of the most important and powerful figures in the Censorate Taichung.

"When did I say I would let them go?" Zheng Yu bowed to the emperor and said respectfully: "My meaning is just to say that it is not appropriate to make a big move, and we must be wary of the situation further deteriorating! The Censor rectified the storm in Shandong, which is absolutely impossible, but he arrested all the officials in Taishan at once, which is too much... Your Majesty... Be careful to cause a rebound...!"

This is true and far more than false. It can be heard that Zheng Yu is not entirely for the sake of interests and personal grievances, and is still loyal to Daqi. Gao Wei's expression eased a little. Hearing Zheng Yu say:

"Besides, Zu's behavior is indeed misbehaving, which is obvious to all! I have two considerations for asking Your Majesty to dismiss him! First, Zu's behavior is not suitable to be the chief censor! Second, the situation in Shandong may be corrupt. Once the wealthy clans join forces with the officials of prefectures and counties to rebound, how will he solve the crisis in Shandong? Why not throw Zu's behavior out..."

"——I'm afraid that this statement by Shangshu Zheng is exaggerating? Doctor Zu has always been responsible for his actions, and it is necessary to rectify the officialdom in Shandong. Otherwise, no matter how the court strengthens disaster relief efforts, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause! If you let it go, wouldn't you be afraid of repeating the same mistake in the future!"

Pei Shiju, who was on duty in the Secretariat, saw that His Majesty's face became worse and worse, and he came out to block Zheng Yu's stinky mouth just right.

Zheng Yu snorted, "Doctor Zu is such a good skill... What benefits did he give you, let them speak for him everywhere?"

The few people immediately changed their qualities. Zheng Yu's meaning was clearly accusing them of competing with Zu Yi as a traitor. He immediately retorted: "We are just talking about the matter. Don't slander the Secretary of Zheng out of thin air! If we defend the Censor as a clique to him, then how good can you be, Shangshu Zheng?"

Pei Shiju's attitude also became cold and said, "The officials and others are just talking about the matter. I hope that Secretary Zheng will not talk nonsense! Besides, what Secretary Zheng said is really absurd! No matter how important it is in Shandong, it is absolutely impossible to compare with the weight of the court. If he is afraid of a rebound, he dare not punish corrupt officials and noble families, but instead dismisses the ministers in the court. Wouldn't this be the court surrender to them? In this way, what is the face of the court and the majesty of His Majesty? How dare I ask Secretary Zheng, what is his intention?"

The ministers' expressions were all stunned. Pei Shiju's reaction was too fast and the attack point was extremely tricky. He resolved Zheng Yu's attack in a few seconds, pointed directly at Zheng Yu's fatal weakness, directly counterattacked and turned the topic to Zheng Yu's intentions.

Zheng Yu was so angry that his hands and feet were cold, but he was unable to refute it because after careful consideration, every sentence that Pei Shiju said was reasonable.

Although he didn't mean this, if Pei Shiju interpreted it like this, everyone would look at him with a scrutiny. His heart was like a mute eating coptis chinensis, and his stomach was full of bitterness and nowhere to pour out.

He looked at the emperor who sat on the throne without saying a word, hoping that the emperor would not have a grudge against him because of this sentence.

Gao Wei thought for a while and said, "Pei Shiju is arrogant..."

It was like a heavy hammer hitting down, Pei Shiju knelt down on the ground in panic, "I know the crime..."

Gao Wei said: "Shangshu Zheng is a Shangguan, three levels higher than you. Even if you do not agree with his views, you cannot rashly doubt his loyalty. This is a court discussion, not a party struggle to form cliques! How can you be so polite to put on a hat like this...!"

"I am guilty, I am guilty..." Pei Shiju's forehead broke out with cold sweat, and he secretly cried in his heart: [This is really unpredictable!]

"Pei Shiju's salary is fined for three months..." Gao Wei's board was raised high and fell gently. Pei Shiju breathed a sigh of relief, and Zheng Yu sighed in his heart.

Gao Wei turned to Zheng Yu again and said, "Zheng Yu, the previous discussion was indeed suspected of being involved. I will also fine you for three months' salary. Do you have any objections?"

Zheng Yu said: "Your Majesty is to be judged by justice, I know my crime! I have no objection!"

That's it, but after the two of them collided, they looked at each other and felt unhappy with each other.

Pei Shiju was angry that Zheng Yu was casually involved. Zheng Yu felt disgusted when he saw Pei Shiju. He was promoted so quickly, but he was already in the fifth rank in his twenties. He was like a rocket. He looked like a slander like Zu Yi! Not a good thing!

[Originally, I was worried about who to use to balance Zu Wei in the future. Now it seems that Zheng Yu is very good. Although he is a little stubborn... he still has to save it... Pei Shiju is indeed a good person, but he is still too young and has a lot of thoughts. It doesn't hurt to suppress him... Han Li is also good, just discussing the matter, straightforward, I like such a minister... Fang Gongyi is capable and smart, and can be very useful...]

In an instant, Gao Wei's thoughts changed a lot and continued, "I just heard the arguments from you, and I already had a problem..."

The court pricked up his ears, waiting to listen to the emperor's decision, "The political situation in Shandong has become corrupt, officials colluded with the rich, reselling official grain, exploiting the people, and harming the local area..., which was shocking! I have decided to investigate and deal with the strict response of Zu Yi!"

"If the circumstances are serious, such as the governor of Taishan County, the governor of Taishan County, etc., peeling and slapping grass to serve as a warning to others...!"

The whole court was filled with fearful breathing sounds, peeling and slapping grass, this was an unheard of cruel punishment! It was extremely cruel to think about it...

"If the plot is mild, the family property will be confiscated, the whole family will be demoted to slaves, and exiled to Youzhou. If you are pardoned, you will not be pardoned!"

"In addition, the other minor officials shall perform their duties and shall not leave their posts without permission, violate the order, and die!"

"The local tyrants who were offered to the list ordered them to hand over the house to swallow up their money and grain, and added 100,000 stones! They were also ordered to move to Yanzhou and start a new stove. The original land was collected as public property, otherwise, it would be regarded as a rebellion!"

"Your Majesty, the Shandong rich people will definitely not obey the order! They will fight to the death. Your Majesty think twice!" Ping Jian paused his head.

"I have already thought about it six or nine! Shandong is very important to the future of the Great Qi! We must not ignore it. What the actions of Shandong's wealthy families and officials have already touched my bottom line, and I don't want to endure it anymore!" Gao Wei was furious.

"I just ordered them to hand over the land in Shandong. In Yanzhou, I will supply them as much as I have lost... I will make it unforgivable to commit such a serious crime! I have not killed all of them, and it is already a bargain for them. I dare to say more...!" Gao Wei shook his sleeves, "Don't blame me for raising the butcher's knife!"

"Duan Shen! I ordered you to mobilize the troops in the plains to be transferred to Shandong and cooperate with the Prince of Zhao. Zu Yi wants to see who dares to make trouble!"

Gao Wei's palm was pressed on the table, and these wealthy families were already too fat and it was time to slaughter. He held the evidence in his hand and spread it first, and the people's hearts would inevitably turn to the court! If they rebel, they would be unjust and have a single power. What else could they do besides obedient?

Anyone who blocks the way will disappear! Gao Wei looked at Ping Jian. Although this old man was loyal, his position was more toward the Shandong rich. He was different from Zheng Yu, and Gao Wei could not tolerate him in the court!

"Pingjian, be appointed as the governor of Pingzhou, manage the northern border for the court, and assist Uncle Rencheng in charge of land reclamation affairs. Go..."

Rencheng King Gao Feng, the tenth son of Gao Huan, is Gao Wei's uncle. He is loyal and capable, and is extremely intelligent. Gao Wei chose him to sit north of Youzhou.

Ping Jian stuttered his lips twice, and finally his face turned pale, he bowed and said, "I will receive the order!"

Everyone sighed in their hearts. Zhao Yanshen sighed quietly, knowing that Ping Jian was standing in the wrong team, which made His Majesty displeased.

He had always had a good personal relationship with Ping Jian and others, but he could not stand up and talk to him at this time. As the chief minister, he was the only person in charge of Gao Wei's plan and knew that His Majesty had to go this step.

As for Ping Jian... I can only feel wronged...
