Chapter 907: The wicked complain first

Li Fugui, the Marquis of Guangning, the Ming Empire. Li Fugui has been following Zhu Hongsan since Wuchang and has made one achievement of saving the emperor. There are 23 other great and minor achievements. After the founding of the country, he was named the Marquis of the Hereditary Wanger, ranking 28th among the thirty-six Marquis. At the same time, Li Fugui was also the chief doctor in the Ministry of Justice's Prison Office, and was the fifth rank.

According to the title and official position of Li Fugui, he should be considered a figure in the officialdom of Beijing, but he felt distressed in his heart that Li Fugui was a clerk and belonged to the periphery in the circle of honors in the capital. He could not enter the circle of top-level powerful people, and he was not even looking down on him.

It is precisely because Li Fugui was excluded that he valued the marriage with the emperor very much. When his son Li Fu got married and the princess got married, although he was still looked down upon by the top powerful people, he had the opportunity to date them. When Li Fu's son grew up, the Li family would truly become one of the powerful people.

Because Li Fu and the princess' marriage is so serious, Li Fugui must not let his son's marriage be a little bit wrong. Today, the censor said that if things get bigger, there may be something wrong with his son's marriage, which can be said to Li Fugui's heart.

Li Fugui looked at the censor in front of him. It seemed that this guy had planned to inquire about his details so carefully. Today he was going to settle down.

Li Fugui gritted his teeth and smiled, "Hehe, this censor is so clever that he eats Lao Li tightly. If Lao Li dares to ask him about his surname, he will definitely remember it in the future!"

Li Fugui still had a last bit of hope in his heart, hoping that the censor would let him go if he was afraid of his threat.

But then he knew that the censor sneered and said, "Marquis Guangning, you have heard it clearly. My official surname is Jiang and his name is Jiang Huan. Mr. Jiang, the old master of the resignation, is his official's father. Do you remember it clearly?"

Li Fugui was even more depressed when he heard that he was Jiang Yueguang's son. He was a serious top wealthy family. Although Jiang Yueguang had not been awarded a title, he had been a cabinet master for several years. He really had a disciple and an old official all over the world. How dare he take revenge on his son?

Seeing that Li Fugui had no choice but to accept his fate, he bowed and said, "Okay, please Lord Jiang execute his execution!"

When Jiang Huan saw Li Fugui surrender, he said to his soldiers: "Come here, as a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Guangning was violated by law. He blatantly violated the ban and went out to walk at night. According to the court's laws, he was under twenty flogging. However, the King of Guangning was given the first level of flogging, and was punished forty flogging, and was executed!"

Now that Li Fugui has given up, the soldiers have no psychological burden and come up and strip Li Fugui of his pants again and prepare to execute him.

When Li Fu saw his father being humiliated, he quickly shouted: "Who dares to do it? I will beat him to death!"

Li Fugui sighed and said to his son, "Big kid, today it's my dad who is looking for death, so don't worry!" Li Fu also knew that his dad was beaten for him today, so he had no choice but to stand aside and sulk.

Fighting is different from fighting punishment. Fighting is made of whipping with thorns, while fighting punishment is to spank with a board. Therefore, fighting is much lighter than fighting punishment, and it is just an insulting punishment.

The flogging is nothing to ordinary people. It's just a whip of the butt with a thorn forty times. It will be fine in ten or eight days. But Li Fugui is different. As a marquis and an official of the court, he has no shame to come out to see people after being flogged. However, Li Fugui has no choice but to suffer this insult for his son.

After 40 strokes, the leader Xiaoqi said: "Sir, the punishment has been completed. Please check the punishment!"

Jiang Huan looked at Li Fugui's bloody butt, nodded: "Horse Guangning has been punished, do you know that he is wrong?"

Li Fugui gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and then said, "I know I'm wrong!"

"Okay, the case of Guangning Hou has been settled. Please ask the family of Guangning Hou to bring it back!"

When Li Fu heard Jiang Huan say this, he glared at the censor, then stepped forward and carried his father on his back and went home.

Jiang Huan was overjoyed when he saw Li Fugui and his son leaving. He handled this case today and would spread throughout the capital tomorrow. At that time, an image of a person who is not afraid of power and impartial in law enforcement will be spread in the officialdom. As long as he has fame, promotion is not a problem at all.

Jiang Huan looked at Li Fugui's back and sneered. Does this guy think he could really let them go? Jiang Huan has been in the officialdom for more than ten years and knows that the officialdom doesn't talk about being a person and staying at the front line, so he can meet in the future. The officialdom is just to put down the wrong person and eliminate the roots. He has offended Li Fugui. This guy's son wants Princess Shang, so what should he do if he says bad things in front of the emperor? So for the sake of future consideration, Li Fugui must be killed.

Jiang Huan picked up paper and pen in the courtyard, wrote a memorial, added fuel to the fire tonight, and wrote in detail how Li Fu was preparing to beat the censor of the city in court. After Jiang Huan finished writing, he looked at the sky outside and was already dawn all night. Lord Xu Shimin, the left censor of the Censorate, should have woken up. Jiang Huan took out the memorial and Li Fugui's file to pay homage to Lord Xu.

Li Fugui left the Southern Inspection House under the burden of his son. Lao Li was beaten and dared not sit in a sedan chair. He had to hire a carriage and send Lao Li back to his home in Dongcheng.

When it got home, it was already dawn, and Li Fu quickly found the doctor to deal with his father's wound. Fortunately, it was just a jingtou, but it was just a skin injury. Just apply some plaster to bleed.

After treating the wound, Li Fugui was already sweating profusely, but he did not rest, but instead found his second son Li Gui who was studying.

"Erwazi, you can read, you can write for me and write a memorial to the emperor. I want to impeach that bullshit Jiang Jing!"

The second son Li Gui took out paper and pen and finished it quickly under the guidance of his father Li Fugui. The memorial was very simple, nothing more than Li Fugui's grievances, saying that Jiang Huan took himself to the Southern Inspection Institute without investigation and punishing him, beating the imperial court's honors second. Jiang Huan did not take the emperor's authority seriously at all.

Old Li said at the end of the memorial: The old minister cried and bowed, and wanted to follow His Majesty for decades, and made countless great achievements. Today, he was humiliated by a low-level censor. The old minister was really shameless to live in the world. If Your Majesty did not make the decision for His Majesty, the old minister would have to show his ambitions!

After Li Gui finished writing, he read it to his father. After listening, Li Fugui asked Li Gui to go to the Ministry of Education and hand over the memorial.

Originally, Li Fugui had a good plan. He relied on his seniority and the emperor would definitely be able to make decisions for him. But when he thought that his memorial had not yet gone out, the housekeeper came to report and someone came from the palace. A eunuch came to the Guangning Marquis' Mansion to read the imperial edict and asked the Guangning Marquis to go out and kneel down to greet him!

The emperor has an imperial edict. Not to mention that Li Fugui is beaten with his butt and his buttocks, he will get up and kneel to welcome him even if his legs are cut. Li Fugui endured the pain and helped him down to the door of the mansion with his sons, kneeling on the ground to welcome the imperial edict.

The person who came was a small eunuch in the palace prison. When he saw Li Fugui coming out to welcome the imperial edict in a cold sweat, he said with a blank expression: "For the will of heaven, the emperor restricts it: Li Fugui, the Marquis of Guangning, you have made a small contribution, but I have already rewarded you. The title I gave you is to commend your achievements, not to make you illegal! The city censor Jiang Huan handled you reasonably and legally. If you do not repent in the future and violate the laws of the country, I will take back your title and let you go back to Wuchang to be the prison leader! I am here!"

Although Zhu Hongsan said nothing about this imperial edict, Li Fugui was too familiar with the emperor's temper. If the emperor scolded himself in the imperial edict, it would be nothing. I was afraid that this cold tone would prove that the emperor was really angry.

Li Fugui struggled to get up, grabbed the little eunuch's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "My father-in-law, what happened in the palace? Why did Your Majesty denounce me?" After Li Fugui said that, he took out a handful of silver coins from his arms, which were more than twenty, and stuffed them into the little eunuch's sleeve.

Touching the heavy silver, the little eunuch looked around and whispered: "Mr. Li, you should thank Master Feng. If it weren't for Master Feng, you would be in great trouble today!" The little eunuch dared not say too much, and hurried back to the palace after collecting the silver.

Li Fugui knew something must have happened this morning. Li Fugui thought about it and quickly asked his second son Li Gui to take his visit to his friends in the capital to inquire about the news.

After a long time, Li Gui came back and the matter was similar to what Li Fugui thought. The censor Jiang Huan was not trustworthy and caused his own affairs to the Censorate.

It turned out that Jiang Huan went to meet the Zuodu Censor Xu Shimin and told Li Fugui about the matter. Xu Shimin was also a Donglin Party, and was also Qian Qianyi's disciple back then. Of course, they were all from the Donglin Party. At the same time, everyone wanted to participate in the matter of beating the nobles and falling into the water. After all, this reputation is not white or white.

Xu Shimin immediately took Jiang Huan to meet Qu Shisi, the cabinet master in charge of the Censorate. It was even easier to get here. Qu Shisi was Jiang Huan's benefactor, so he naturally had to speak for Jiang Huan. In this way, nothing was wrong and finally came to the emperor.

There was no morning court today. Zhu Hongsan originally wanted to sleep, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by these stinky old masters.

Zhu Hongsan originally thought it was an important national event, but when he heard that it was such a bullshit, he was very dissatisfied with it, so he got up early because of such a few things?

"Mr. Qu, you are the master of the cabinet. Do I have to ask about such a thing? In addition, isn't Jiang Huan's handling of it very reasonable? Why are you here to come to me for?" Zhu Hongsan planned to send them away early, and he had to go back and hug the beauty and sleep for a while.

Qu Shixi heard the emperor say this and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is small, but if it is not dealt with seriously, the consequences will be serious! Now there are hundreds of nobles in the capital. What if you see the emperor breaking the law and discipline after handling this?"

After Qu Shixi said that Xu Shimin also said the same thing. Zhu Hongsan was so hurt by their heads and asked, "Okay, what do you think should be done?"
