After hearing this, Wei Chao looked at Wang An in surprise.
After hearing this, Wang An raised his eyes and stared at Fang Congzhe. He really didn't expect that Fang Congzhe would be so cruel.
Zhu Youxiao was also surprised and was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at Wang An and Wei Chao again, then nodded and said: "Yes!"
Although Zhu Youxiao did not expect that Fang Congzhe actually wanted Wei Dazhong to be jailed and threatened with death.
But Zhu Youxiao asked Fang Congzhe to handle Wei Dazhong's affairs to see Fang Congzhe's attitude.
After all, he already knew the political attitude of Wang An, the eunuch and eunuch, and naturally he also wanted to know Fang Congzhe's attitude.
…
"Is Wei Dazhong sent to prison and sentenced to death?!"
After hearing this, Zuo Guangdou immediately put the tea cup he had just picked up back on the table, and then stood up.
Keng!
At the same time, a cup of tea fell directly on the carpet. Wei Dazhong's hands were burned red by the spilled tea, but he did not react and just sat there blankly, because he really did not expect that he would be judged to death.
Wang Wenyan nodded and looked at Zuo Guangdou and Wei Dazhong solemnly: "The matter is confirmed and the vote has been drawn up!"
Wei Dazhong pursed his lips.
Zuo Guangzhong continued to ask: "How could this happen?"
"Because Wei Gong's memorial was drafted by Fang Tie Piao."
Wang Wenyan replied.
"Damn Thief Fang! We were actually deceived by him. We thought he was just a mediocre person, but we didn't expect him to be so vicious! He is stealing power, causing chaos in the country, and killing loyal people!"
Zuo Guangzhong slapped the table with an angry look on his face.
Wang Wenyan said: "Your Majesty has great trust in Fang Thief and has great intentions of making Fang Thief the second Yan Song!"
"We must not let your majesty succeed! Yan Song has brought trouble to the country for more than 20 years, causing the Anda to cause chaos in the north and the Japanese pirates in the south. The thieves in Fang are far less ambitious than Yan Song. Once he becomes Yan Song, the disaster will be even greater, not to mention that our Ming Dynasty has already There are Donglu as enemies!"
Wei Dazhong gritted his teeth and started talking.
"That's right, for the current plan, the only way is to impeach the Fang thief and expose the Fang thief's crimes. When the emperor has just ascended the throne, the Fang thief is not very powerful, and there are still many righteous people in the court, the Fang thief must be driven out as soon as possible. The cabinet is expelled from the court!"
Zuo Guangzhong said.
Wang Wenyan added: "According to Ouchi news, among the officials who interceded for Yang Lian this time, there were Shao Zhanshi Xu Guangqi and Zuo Zhongyun Sun Chengzong begging for Yang Lian's life. These two people were masters of the East Palace and had a master-disciple relationship with the emperor. According to Wang, if you want to get rid of the Fang thief, it is best to persuade the two superiors to impeach Fang Congzhe, which may be effective. Even if your Majesty does not obey, he will not kill his master."
Zuo Guangdou nodded: "Sun Gong has a close relationship with Zuo. He and Xu Gong are of the same year. Zuo is going to see him now! Please ask him to find a way to save Wei Gong and Yang Gong and participate in the impeachment of Fang Congzhe."
…
"What the Emperor said is that according to the Jin Yiwei report, Yuan Fu's son Fang Shihong is indeed incompetent, but this is not surprising. Yuan Fu has to worry about tens of thousands of things for the country, so naturally he cannot discipline his own son. In the past few dynasties, Yuan Fu No matter whether you are virtuous or not, you will always have unworthy heirs."
In the Wei Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao asked about the case of Fang Shihong suspected of beating to death a prostitute in the 46th year of Wanli Dynasty after mentioning in front of Zhu Youxiao the report from Jinyiwei about Fang Congzhe's son Fang Shihong staying overnight with an actor.
The Wei Dynasty took advantage of this and said a few words, implying that Fang Congzhe might be the same treacherous official as Yan Song, and by the way, he tested Zhu Youxiao's attitude towards Fang Congzhe.
Zhu Youxiao also knew what the Wei Dynasty wanted to express, but he refused to let the Wei Dynasty find out his own pulse. He only said: "Fang Congzhe is not Yan Song, and I am not the Shimiao (Jiajing). Although Yan Song is a traitor, he still assists the king." Somewhat capable."
"Your Majesty said so."
Wei Chao said with a smile, but didn't know how to continue. He secretly thought about what His Majesty meant. He might as well tell his ancestors the original words later.
However, at this time, Zhu Youxiao suddenly said: "Ask the Jin Yiwei to monitor the Fang Mansion and see who will go to the Fang Mansion!"
Wei Chao was overjoyed after hearing this, thinking that His Majesty was still not completely relieved by Fang Congzhe.
"yes!"
Wei Chao, who was the Royal Horse Eunuch and the admiral of Dongchang, responded immediately.
…
Xu Guangqi's residence.
Sun Chengzong came to see Xu Guangqi late at night.
"Zixian, do you know that Duke Wei is going to be sentenced to death for this matter? He will be sent to prison soon!"
As soon as Sun Chengzong saw Xu Guangqi, he started talking to Xu Guangqi.
Xu Guangqi, courtesy name Zixian, and Sun Chengzong were both Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli, so they have always had a good relationship.
Therefore, as soon as Sun Chengzong learned about Wei Dazhong, he came to Xu Guangqi.
Xu Guangqi acted very calmly. He took a sip of tea and asked, "Really? Who told you?"
Sun Chengzong nodded: "It was Yi Zhi (Zuo Guangdou) who told me that today Yuan Fu is really intolerable and wants His Majesty to kill Yan Guan!"
Xu Guangqi smiled slightly: "Brother Zhisheng, don't worry, I already know about this matter, but in Xu's opinion, this matter is not unsolvable. After all, it is Yuan Fu who wants to kill Yan Guan, and it is not His Majesty who really wants to kill Yan Guan. "
Sun Chengzong also nodded: "Of course I know, but Wei Dazhong cannot be killed. Although this person is a member of the Donglin Party, he is not a traitor and evil official, so how can he be considered dead!"
Xu Guangqi laughed and said: "Your Majesty sent Yang Lian to prison that day instead of directly killing him with a stick, which shows that Your Majesty has no intention of killing him, and His Majesty has been waiting for someone to intercede on Yang Lian's behalf so that he can be saved by that person." To save face, let Yang Lian go, but this person should be Yuan Fu."
"What's the meaning of this statement?"
Sun Chengzong asked.
"Brother Zhisheng, let me make it clear that you people in Donglin are currently controlling the way of speech and are very inconsistent with Fang Congzhe and other important ministers. You have even asked Emperor Daxing to issue an edict to summon Ye Xianggao, who is supported by everyone in Donglin, to enter the capital and enter the cabinet. This is very promising. In order to replace the chief minister, the struggle between the Yanguan and the six cabinet departments is getting more and more intense. Now His Majesty seems to be a very wise man. He should have seen this phenomenon, so he does not want the Donglin people to fight with Fang Congzhe. They were in a quarrel, and Your Majesty sent Mr. Yang to prison. Of course, it was because Mr. Yang forgot the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers in a moment of impatience. I am afraid that Your Majesty also wanted to beat you. People in Donglin, don't forget that it is His Majesty who has the final say in the Ming Dynasty. By the way, I also read Let’s see how many officials belong to the Donglin Party, and also see if Fang Congzhe will forget his personal grudges and intercede for Duke Yang for the sake of the overall situation.”
Xu Guangqi sighed as he spoke: "Unfortunately, in order to keep his position as chief minister, Fang Congzhe obviously wants to take this opportunity to suppress your Donglin Party!"
As he spoke, Xu Guangqi slammed the table: "This Fang Congzhe is really a traitor and a loyal person! Although he is neutral on the surface, he is actually a member of the Qi Party, just like he blindly opposed sending envoys to supervise North Korea back then. They only know how to pursue their own selfish interests, but they don’t know how to care about the interests of the country!”
Sun Chengzong nodded: "You are right. If you want to save Yang Gong and Wei Gong now, you have to rely on Fang Congzhe. After all, he is the Yuanfu of the Three Dynasties."
"We'd better go meet him."
Sun Chengzong took the initiative to suggest.
Xu Guangqi said: "I won't go! Your Majesty is very talented and will not be willing to be Fang Congzhe's puppet. Yang Gong and Wei Gong will be fine. There is no need for me to say good things to Fang Congzhe!"
