When Qian Yongliang was brought in, he was so scared that he trembled all over and did not dare to look at Zhu Yiliu.

"You are Qian Yongliang?"

Zhu Yili looked at it and asked, seeing Qian Yongliang in his fifties, with big ears, gray hair, and a bit positive.

Qian Yongliang's mind was blank at this moment, and he didn't say anything without realizing it.

"Please raise your head for me."

Zhu Yili scolded majesticly.

Qian Yongliang then looked up at Zhu Yili with fear, but it was just a glance.

The right censor of the Censorate of the Censorate submitted a memorial on the ten crimes of Youqian Yongliang.

Zhu Yili opened it, and only saw the first one, he couldn't help but scold: "Damn, you actually have a concubine in the twelve rooms? He occupied the first night power of six women? He broke up seven couples, no wonder his hair turned white?"

But he occupied the woman's right to first night... Do you remember what Lu Wang liked to do in history?

No, it should be something that almost all men in the world like to do.

"I have eaten a salary of vain and greedy for 100,000 taels of silver. Have I confiscated all this money?"

"Your Majesty, all the houses were confiscated." The right Censor replied loudly, "Including other funds, a total of 650,000 taels of silver, are currently on the way to the capital, and I believe we will be able to arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhu Yili continued to look, and said while watching, "Eat the official land, embezzled and accepted bribes, used his power to sell officials clearly, drove away residents near the house to build a large-scale construction, and even embezzled the disaster relief funds..."

"Damn! He even encouraged the people of his hometown to build a archway for you? He is so thick-skinned!"

"Why is there another crime not included?" After reading it, Zhu Yiliu asked the right assistant censor of the Censorate.

"I don't know what Your Majesty means?" The right Censor stopped slightly and asked weakly.

"When my father-in-law sent a gift to the south and passed through Zhending Mansion, Qian Yongliang used bribes to cheat my father-in-law. If the Empress Dowager had not come forward to stop him, my father-in-law would have to be imprisoned if he didn't die."

"This is my dereliction of duty. Please forgive me for your crime!" The right Censor Censor had no choice but to answer like this.

But in fact, he didn't know or investigate it clearly. It was because this matter involved Emperor Wanli, so he did not include this crime in the memorial. He didn't expect that if His Majesty didn't open the pot, he would have to pick out this one to talk about it.

Shen Shixing and Feng Bao knew it well and couldn't help but scold the censor secretly. You have forgotten the crime that the emperor cared about, which is really a dereliction of duty.

"Hasn't the investigation been made clear?" Zhu Yili asked casually, but in fact he was interested.

"Return to Your Majesty, it's not actually..." The right Censor Censor said timidly.

"What's that?"

"Because it was not just the Prime Minister Qian who wanted to do this at the beginning, but he succeeded."

"Do you praise him for his intelligence?"

"No, no..." The right Chief Censor Ya shook her head and waved her hand, "It was because the Prime Minister Qian said that the mastermind behind this matter was, yes, his Majesty's emperor's brother."

The Right Chief Inspector finally spoke it out under Zhu Yili's gaze.

"You mean, does the emperor want to murder my father-in-law?" It's time to perform skills again.

"yes."

"Hey! They were born from the same root, why are they too anxious to fight each other?" Zhu Yili sighed slightly.

Feng Bao had long known this matter, and knew that Emperor Wanli did it, but it was just like Shen Shixing. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yili endured it for so long.

"Qian Yongliang, do you have anything else to say?"

"..." Qian Yongliang shook his head. In fact, since the day Zhu Yili replaced him as the throne, he had been upset in his heart and felt something was wrong.

It's been hiding very well this time.

I wanted to resign and not do anything, but it seemed that the court had no movement. In addition, the treatment and benefits of officials in the first year of Taihe were good, so he was a little reluctant to let it go.

With a bit of luck in mind, he insisted on it, but the problem broke out and was investigated... It turned out that His Majesty did not stop touching him, but wanted to kill him with one sword.

Now that things have come to this point, he can only accept his fate.

"Where are his young concubines?" Zhu Yiliu asked the right assistant censor of the Censorate again.

"I am still detained for the time being. I want to wait until Qian Yongliang's case is settled before it can be dealt with."

"Are they guilty?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Qian Yongliang's journey on this path is somewhat related to women, and he often encourages him to do bad things and make money."

"All fifty years old and have no money. Do those women who like him or have true love for him? I don't think that there is no need to detain them. Send them all to Taiwan so that they can be good people in the future."

"I obey the order."

"Go down first." Zhu Yili waved his hand.

The Du Yu envoy took Qian Yongliang away.

"Your Majesty, Qian Yongliang was detained and brought to justice. Then the position of prefect of Zhending Prefecture?" Shen Shixing asked.

"This..." Zhu Yiliu calculated with his fingers, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"When the Emperor sent Zhang Siwei's son Zhang Taizheng as the assistant to the prefect. Wasn't it just that he was determined to cultivate Zhang Taizheng and let him take over the position of prefect of Zhending Prefecture?" Feng Bao reminded gently from the side.

"I do have this plan!" Zhu Yili nodded and sighed, "It's just that I'm worried that Zhang Taizheng's father, Zhang Siwei, will not survive this year. By then, Zhang Taizheng will have to go home to observe the system for three years."

"Ah?" Feng Bao said in surprise, "Didn't Zhang Siwei's father be outdated last year?"

"Yes!" Shen Shixing also said, "Old Zhang Ge is less than 60 years old. Could it be that his father has just died two years ago and he will die, right?"

"Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are heaven. Anyway, I have a foreshadowing that Master Zhang will not live this year."

As soon as he heard Zhu Yiliu say the word "premonition", Shen Shixing and Feng Bao felt that it was about to come true. When will His Majesty's premonition be approved?

After pondering on the film, Zhu Yili suddenly said: "A person is actually gone when he dies. I have always advocated that he will not serve him. Instead of serving the dead, it is better to treat the living well. If he does not serve him well when he is alive, what's the use of burning more money when he dies?"

As soon as these words were said, the three ministers were so scared that they didn't know how to answer the conversation.

"So do you say that it takes twenty-seven months to keep the rules for your parents?"

"What does Long Live Master mean?" Feng Bao asked carefully.

“How about lifting the restriction on observing parents’ rules for twenty-seven months?”

Feng Bao didn't dare to talk to him, nor did he want to talk to him. He was his father-in-law, so this kind of issue should be left to foreign ministers with children to discuss.

Shen Shixing quickly said, "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty governs the world with benevolence and filial piety. If this goes against the ancestor's system, it may be inappropriate and will attract opposition from scholars all over the world."

Zhu Yili shook his head inadvertently and smiled: "I know you scholars will not agree. But I want to ask you, do you agree with my opinion that I did not serve the death of the servant just now?"

Still no one dared to talk to each other.

Zhu Yiliu continued: "When your parents are alive, take them to your side. Isn't it better to express filial piety in this way than to kneel in front of the grave and kowtow to burn incense when they die? I don't understand what filial piety is in your heart?"

Shen Shixing and Chen Li couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. When Zhu Yili talked about their hearts, they didn't know how to talk.

"It's a blessing that you scholars always talk about benevolence and filial piety. How many officials in Beijing live with their parents? Why don't their parents stay with them while they are alive? They have to go home and follow the rules for twenty-seven months, thinking that this will show that they have fulfilled their filial piety?"

The three ministers were all red in their faces, especially Shen Shixing and Chen Li, who did not bring their parents to their side and serve them well.

Zhu Yili said with emotion again: "In my opinion, everything children do to them after their parents die is actually not worth mentioning, so there is no filial piety. To express your filial piety, you should take advantage of their lives. This is what I understand: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop the child wants to support the parents but the parents do not wait," not as you advocate, and you have to obey the system for twenty-seven months to be considered filial. Go back and think about it carefully."

The three ministers bowed and were thinking about the same question in their hearts: Is the emperor going to abolish the ancestral system that was in charge of the twenty-seven months? If this is true, wouldn’t scholars in the world rebel?
