When Zhu Youxiao saw Fang Congzhe and other cabinet ministers, he asked: "Tell me, what is it?"
Fang Congzhe hurriedly reported to Zhu Youxiao that Wei Yingjia used bribery to impeach Xiong Tingbi for taking power and bribery.
Zhu Youxiao was also very dissatisfied after hearing this.
Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also knew that Wei Yingjia also belonged to the Donglin Party in history, but because of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but secretly think that these Donglin officials are really endless, and they have no intention of giving up until Xiong Tingbi is removed from power!
"These Donglin Party members are really not done yet, and I don't want to think about the performance of Yuan Yingtai, whom you recommended, in history. He lost two big cities as soon as he took office, so Nurhaci now has Shenyang and Liaoyang to attack. The retreat of Mongolia will give you the opportunity to develop production and expand military strength in the fertile fields of Liaodong, turning the Eight Banners of Manchuria into the Twenty-Four Banners! I will not be fooled by you."
Zhu Youxiao said this in his heart.
At this time, Fang Congzhe took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, there was Feng Sanyuan in front of him, Zhang Xiude in front of him, and now Wei Yingjia. The reason why these scientific officials are clinging to Xiong Tingbi is to form a clique. !Wei Yingjia should be imprisoned and strictly interrogated by the factory guards to find out his intention to frame Xiong Tingbi and the people behind the scenes, so as to calm the border officials!"
Liu Yishen and Han Xu were shocked after hearing this.
Neither of them expected that Fang Congzhe would accuse Wei Yingjia and others of forming a clique for personal gain as soon as he met the emperor.
The two of them had to admit that Fang Congzhe had slapped Wei Yingjia and others with a big thumbs up, and they had to be handed over to the factory guards for strict scrutiny, which was obviously a merciless approach.
Liu Yishen did not want Wei Yingjia to be suspected of being a party member, because if this happened, he himself would be found out.
Therefore, Liu Yishen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Yuan Fu said is very unacceptable! Wei Yingjia is just telling the truth, how can it have anything to do with forming a party? Yuan Fu is spitting blood, which is inconsistent with the style of a cabinet minister. ! In my opinion, it is better to ask Xiong Tingbi to defend himself or give him a light punishment for this matter. After all, the evidence is there and the court cannot ignore it!"
Fang Congzhe glanced at Liu Yishui and said, "Your Majesty! Feng Sanyuan, Zhang Xiude, and Wei Yingjia are all members of Ye Xiang's high family. This is why I infer that they have formed a clique for personal gain."
With that said, Fang Congzhe asked Liu Yishui: "I really don't know what Mr. Liu Ge is afraid of, so he is so eager to defend Wei Yingjia."
"According to the report! Those who form cliques for personal gain are the most hateful. They have no regard for the country and only care about party interests. If they are not severely punished, it will be difficult to set the course of the government."
Zhu Youxiao said directly.
After hearing this, Liu Yishen immediately fell to the ground and said with a panicked expression: "Your Majesty! No! In my opinion, Yuan Fu is so far-fetched that Wei Yingjia and others are forming a clique for personal gain, and blindly shielding Xiong Tingbi is an act of forming a clique for personal gain! Besides, Your Majesty, Since we don’t want to intensify the conflict between the factions in the court, we should listen to them and control them gently, rather than listening to one person’s words and exacerbating the struggle!”
Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Yishen and said: "I don't like courtiers to form cliques for personal gain, but that doesn't mean that I will be soft on those with ulterior motives. Yuan Fu is right. We should send Wei Yingjia to prison first and subject him to Dongchang for strict interrogation!"
"Your Majesty, if you insist on going to prison and governing the world with cruelty, I will have no choice but to resign!"
Liu Yishen knelt down at this time and spoke in pain.
Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Liu Yishen to be so excited.
However, although Zhu Youxiao is only sixteen years old physically now, his mental age is more than sixteen years old. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was not frightened by Liu Yishen's kneeling, and only asked coldly: "You Are you forcing me?"
Liu Yishen panicked in his heart. He thought that by kneeling down and saying such words, the emperor in front of him, who was smart but was only sixteen years old, would be moved. However, he did not expect that the emperor in front of him would be so calm and composed. He actually questioned himself directly.
"I don't dare! I just don't want to see Your Majesty become infamous all over the world!"
Liu Yishen explained hurriedly.
"Stop threatening me with your reputation! Zhang Xiude and Wei Yingjia are all Ye Xianggao's disciples. What are you afraid of?!"
Zhu Youxiao asked as he spoke.
Without waiting for Liu Yishen's answer, Zhu Youxiao looked at Fang Congzhe next to him: "The cabinet immediately drafted the decree, and then the Supervisor of Ceremonies immediately approved it. There must be no mistake! The cabinet ministers and the Supervisor of Ceremonies were not allowed to leave before Wei Yingjia and others were arrested. palace!"
"I obey the decree!"
Fang Congzhe immediately replied.
Han Xu also replied: "I obey your order!"
He didn't dare to say anything more about this matter now. He could see that His Majesty the Emperor was determined to support Fang Congzhe in making the case bigger.
But what surprised Han Xu even more was when did Fang Congzhe change his temperament and directly accuse the official of being a party leader for personal gain.
"The emperor is so strong. When did his chief assistant also become strong? Is this going to be the style of the early years of Wanli?"
Han Xu thought to himself.
Not only did Han Xu not expect that, but Liu Yizhen actually didn't expect that it would be like this. Fang Congzhe would suddenly speak in the cabinet in order to protect Xiong Tingbi. Wei came to investigate the case.
Liu Yishui felt as if he had just met Fang Congzhe.
And because of this, Liu Yishen has realized his ending.
So, next, Liu Yishen's whole body was trembling.
Fang Congzhe secretly rejoiced because he knew that he had once again figured out the emperor's thoughts correctly.
As an old bureaucrat with better means, he knew what role he should play in front of the emperor and when.
…
As soon as Wei Zhongxian received the order from the cabinet, he immediately asked Xu Xianchun of Dongchang to detain Wei Yingjia and Zhang Xiude.
During this period, Ke Dao Yan Guan could be said to be the most dangerous official position, and he was always taken care of by Dongchang.
Sure enough, how powerful he was before, he is so miserable now.
However, Wei Yingjia and Zhang Xiude did not have this awareness of the crisis at this time. As if they had done a major event that benefited the country and the people, they came to an indescribable place with other Donglin Yanguan who were close friends after Shangshu. It is a place where entertainment activities can be held, and by the way, we can also criticize the current ills.
"This time Xiong Tingbi will be overthrown! Mr. Yuan will surely take office and complete the great work of fighting against foreigners, and I, the people of Donglin, can repay it!"
Wei Yingjia hugged the delicate girl with a body as soft as butter, held the wine bottle, and spoke enthusiastically.
Zhang Xiude also smiled the same way, took the beauty's cup and said: "Since the two Dukes of Yang and Wei have left, my number one general in Donglin must be Brother Shizhou. In the future, the official position will be given to none other than the Duke!" "
Wei Yingjia laughed and said: "What's the use of being in a position of wealth, salary and official position for me? I wish that I would be exempted from the heavy tax in Jiangnan, that all the people in the temple would be gentlemen, and that the factory guards would be abolished!"
But at this moment, a woman screamed from downstairs, and a large group of Dongchang officers ran upstairs and ordered: "Get out of the way! We are ordered to arrest the criminals Wei Yingjia and Zhang Xiude!"
