Chapter 88 Praying for Kangping
Chapter 88 Qi Kangping
"Asshole."
Zhu Houzhao was furious. Who was King Jingjiang? He dared to make trouble with him.
The descendant of elder brother Zhu, his status is indeed extraordinary, but how many years have passed, and the blood relationship between them has long since stopped. If you want to cause trouble for him, Jingjiang King Zhu Yueqi is not enough, and Jingjiang King Yi is behind it.
The pulse is not enough either.
For those who dare to stand in front of him, Prince Ning is the best example.
"Pass an order to ask Jingjiang King Zhu Yueqi to come to the capital in person. I need him to give me a satisfactory explanation."
Jingjiang King Zhu Yueqi thought that Zhu Houzhao did not dare to touch him because of his special status, but he thought too much. In order to reform and strengthen the country and realize his own ambitions, no one dared to touch Zhu Houzhao.
It is the source of the Jingjiang King lineage. Zhu Yueqi's ancestors, Nanchang King Zhu Xinglong and Zhu Wenzheng, came and dared to oppose Zhu Houdao. Zhu Houzhao dared to throw him to Liaodong to farm until he died.
In the face of imperial power, fathers, sons, and brothers would turn against each other. What's more, Zhu Yueqi was only a relative of Zhu Houzhao for several generations, and was not very close at all. He even stood against the imperial power because of interest issues.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to take action on King Jingjiang, but all the ministers were looking at his nose and heart, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
He was filled with panic and doubt. From a personal selfish point of view, he wanted to believe that Qi Kangping was innocent and that it was the civil servants who framed him. This person was promoted by him, and he did not want anything to happen to Qi Kangping.
"When I went back to my hometown to visit relatives last year, I also heard some bad things about Governor Yingtian."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Qi Kangping cannot stand up to the investigation. Even without them adding fuel to the flames, the things Qi Kangping himself did are enough to make him irrecoverable.
"Send a letter to Gao Feng and ask him to bring Qi Kangping back to me, and also ask him to collect evidence of Qi Kangping's corruption. I want to see whether it is a frame-up or whether Qi Kangping has really fallen!"
After Zhu Houzhao read the memorial, his first reaction was disbelief. He felt that the civil service group was framing Qi Kangping.
The officials who came from the civil service group suddenly showed a victorious smile, and their faces were full of confidence.
Qi Kangping has now become a pawn in his fight with the civil service group. It is better that nothing happens to Qi Kangping. If the crime is really heinous, then no matter how much he admires Qi Kangping, he must deal with Qi Kangping strictly in accordance with the law.
Zhu Houzhao sighed secretly in his heart.
Once Qi Kangping is arrested, they can use the topic to their advantage. They must prevent the reform from continuing, otherwise all their hard-earned family property will be used as a wedding dress for Zhu Houzhao.
Liu Jin took the memorial and handed it over, which was full of Qi Kangping's various crimes, including corruption and bribery, encircling land to make money, paying murderers to kill people, Qi Kangping basically did everything a corrupt official should do!
The officials who impeached Qi Kangping were all from Jiangnan gentry and wealthy families, and Governor Yingtian's jurisdiction happened to be in Jiangnan. If there was nothing fishy about it, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.
The ministers were silent. Zhu Houzhao glanced at it and asked, "Do you still have a story to report, dear to you?"
In an instant, everyone understood that the civil servant group’s counterattack had arrived!
Zhu Houzhao was also angry in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Send it up!"
This was what the ministers were waiting for. Several ministers who had been prepared for a long time exchanged glances with each other. One of them, the head of the Civil Affairs Examination Department, came out and said loudly: "My minister, I have written a memorial!"
They all knew that once King Jingjiang came to the capital, it would be impossible to go back, and he would only be raised like a pig by Zhu Houzhao.
It is absolutely impossible for him to do so many evil, insane, and even inhumane things.
As soon as these words came out, the court's color changed, some were secretly happy, some were solemn, or some were angry.
Qi Kangping, the governor of Yingtian, was promoted by Zhu Houzhao and placed in the south of the Yangtze River. He was used as a pawn to check and balance the gentry and wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River. Impeaching Qi Kang for corruption and accepting bribes was no less than a slap in Zhu Houzhao's face.
After all, in his impression, Qi Kangping was a person with a pure nature, great ambitions, and a heart to do things for the people, otherwise he would not have placed him in such an important position as Governor Yingtian.
"Retreat!"
Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he wanted to kill someone on the spot. He didn't impeach him sooner or later, but he impeached him at this juncture. He knew exactly what the purpose of these people was.
The civil servant group knew that Qi Kangping was one of their own, yet they dared to impeach Qi Kangping openly. There may be something fishy in this.
"Accurate performance."
"My lord, I impeach Yingtian Governor Qi Kangping for ten major crimes, including corruption, accepting bribes, and buying and selling murder. I beg your Majesty to investigate clearly and not to allow the madman to continue to go unpunished."
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's silence, everyone in the civil service group was very excited. After fighting Zhu Houzhao for such a long time, they finally saw some hope of successful resistance.
But I know that it is impossible for them to speak out for King Jingjiang. Now that the reform is going on in a mighty way, everyone is in trouble, and who has the strength to take care of King Jingjiang's affairs.
At this time, he could basically conclude that something was definitely wrong with Qi Kangping, and it was 100% related to the civil service group.
"How could this be?"
One by one, they can't wait to jump out. Whether they can sabotage the reform and stop Zhu Houzhao from constantly cutting their flesh depends on this time!
It's just that Zhu Houzhao couldn't believe that in just a few years, the high-spirited young man had transformed into a corrupt official who did all kinds of evil. Is it his nature, or was it the Jiangnan custom that could turn a gentle and gentle gentleman into a demon who eats people without spitting out their bones?
"Your Majesty, I am originally from Suzhou, and I have heard a thing or two about the governor of Yingtian. He holds a high position by virtue of his official position, and he does all kinds of evil in the Yingtian area. The people are suffering from it. If he is not eradicated, where will the laws of the court be?
Where is the majesty?"
"OK."
"check!"
"Qi Kangping, Qi Kangping, I hope you won't disappoint me."
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the civil service group has no need to deliberately fabricate facts and frame up. Everyone knows that he has Jin Yiwei in his hands, a violent organization with strong intelligence capabilities such as the East and West factories. Any frame up can only be investigated carefully.
, you will never escape his eyes.
Glancing coldly at the officials with smug smiles, Zhu Houzhao walked away directly, with murderous intent surging in his heart. They were a bunch of cheap people who didn't care about eating. The last lesson hadn't taught them to be obedient, so he might as well come again.
once.
Faced with the increasing pressure of the civil servant group, Zhu Houzhao had only one "investigation", he had to investigate, he had to investigate.
However, the memorial that clearly recorded each of Qi Kangping's crimes in his hand seemed to constantly remind him that something was really wrong with Qi Kangping.
Returning to the Leopard Room, Zhu Houzhao immediately gave an order to Liu Jin with an extremely gloomy face. He wanted to see Qi Kangping before the trial of the three departments.
Governor Yingtian, whom he single-handedly promoted, might actually be a super corrupt official, and was used by the civil service group as a tool to arm-wrestle him. This was something he could not tolerate, and made him feel betrayed and deceived like never before.
