You Qi naturally nodded in agreement after hearing this. His trust in Zhang Juzheng can be said to be the highest in the world! He felt that since his master said so, things would definitely develop like this, so he reported some other things and left.
At this time, several other pavilion elders also received the news, and their reactions were similar to Zhang Juzheng's. In their opinion, they have clearly seen the factions and backgrounds of many officials in the court. As long as Liu Haojia's head is thrown out to calm everyone's anger, the court will be on the right track, and they can also regulate the court in a targeted manner.
Now that Emperor Wanli came out and said he wanted to deal with the competition, for them, it was just a matter of course. If Emperor Wanli protected Liu Haojia, it meant that the monarch and his ministers still had some abilities, and they would naturally have to be more careful when dealing with them in the future. If Emperor Wanli cannot protect Liu Haojia, this is the time to teach him a lesson! Anyway, these pavilion elders will not have any losses!
At the same time, the courtiers in the capital had various reactions when they heard the news, but unlike the elders, they did not have many sources of information and their thoughts were far away. So most people think this is Emperor Wanli's last struggle! He wanted to use his status as emperor to save Liu Haojia's life in the morning court!
Therefore, these courtiers were gearing up to have a good debate with Emperor Wanli in this morning court meeting. In their opinion, the situation has now become a success, and almost all the courtiers have written letters demanding severe punishment for Liu Haojia and Jin Yiwei! And it is impossible for him, an emperor who has never personally governed, to confront the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty! Let’s not talk about whether he has the courage or not. Even if he had the courage, he wouldn’t be able to do it!
Some people even said that after Liu Haojia was dealt with, they would continue to submit a letter asking the emperor to abolish the Jin Yiwei! Even if the Jin Yiwei cannot be abolished, they must be severely punished so that they cannot stir up trouble in the court again!
Even a few extreme people have already announced that a celebration banquet will be arranged in this restaurant, and the news of Liu Haojia going to the execution ground will be used to accompany the wine!
As for ordinary people, there was no reaction. In their opinion, there is just one person who is going to be executed! What they are more interested in is when they can see this person's head fall to the ground, so that they can go to the execution ground and watch the excitement!
All this news in the capital was carefully collected by Liu Haojia's people. The names of the people they could verify were recorded together with their remarks, forming a thick file, waiting for him to slowly check after he came out of Beizhen Fusi. Check it out!
Although these people were panic-stricken, they still got things done after receiving Liu Haojia's order. Because they were keenly aware that the wording in the warrant written by Liu Haojia was very plain, and he seemed to be in a very relaxed mood, and did not look like someone who was about to be pushed to the execution ground, so they executed the order with the purpose of giving it a try.
As soon as the news came out, the entire capital miraculously became quiet. Everyone stopped and waited for the arrival in three days! They are all looking forward to the opening of a big drama. Everyone hopes to play a role in this big drama, or to obtain certain benefits!
Three days later, in the early morning, Emperor Wanli climbed up from the dragon bed without waiting for him to call. Hearing the sound, he saw Emperor Wanli wake up and immediately called the palace maid to help him wash up.
After Emperor Wanli put on the dragon robe, he sent everyone else down, leaving only himself. It was Emperor Wanli who said: "Zhang Jia, today I will really face the ministers, and I am really a little scared in my heart!"
Zhang Jia helped Emperor Wanli arrange his dragon robe and whispered at the same time: "Long live Lord, don't be afraid. They are all your ministers. You just need to speak your mind loudly, and they will definitely follow it!"
Emperor Wanli smiled bitterly and said: "If only it were as simple as you said! It's not like you haven't read the news sent by Liu Haojia these days. These ministers don't care about me as the emperor at all! In their eyes, I am just He's just a child with a yellow mouth!
Zhang Jia pulled the corners of his robe straight to make sure there were no wrinkles, then straightened up and said seriously: "Don't worry about being used by me. Some ministers do think so, but you also have ministers who are loyal to you!"
Emperor Wanli touched the Zhang family's arm and said, "I know that you and Liu Haojia are both loyal, but this is not enough! I want you to find more loyal people!"
Zhang Jia bowed and said: "Don't worry, Lord Sui, I will definitely work hard! It's just that I need Lord Sui to be patient for a while!"
Emperor Wanli took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and said, "I am still young, I can afford to wait! Let's go to court!"
When Zhang Jia saw Emperor Wanli setting off, he hurriedly followed. The two people actually achieved the result of never looking back!
Emperor Wanli quickly arrived at Huangji Hall in a walking chariot. After greeting several pavilion elders, he was helped by Zhang Jia and sat down on the dragon chair. Then the courtiers waiting outside filed in.
Emperor Wanli, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at the ministers in the hall and found that the number was obviously much larger than before! He couldn't help but grit his teeth! It seems that there are many people who want to persecute me today!
Afterwards, the ministers paid homage to Emperor Wanli with a grand ceremony, and then each returned to his two classes. Only then did today's morning court officially begin. But everyone felt that today was different from usual. The atmosphere in the hall was very strange! However, everyone still made no mistakes in the procedures, and courtiers kept coming out to report on the government affairs under their jurisdiction.
As for those Zhang Juzheng and others who could answer on the spot, they responded directly on the spot. For the few who needed to think about it, they would leave the memorial and wait until after the morning session to discuss it with several pavilion elders before giving feedback.
But the process was very fast today, and even the people who were making trouble spoke much faster, as if something was chasing them! As a result, it took half an hour less than usual to handle all the government affairs today.
Then the entire Huangji Palace fell into a strange silence, as everyone seemed to be waiting for something big to happen! Emperor Wanli sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, just wanting to see who would take the lead in impeaching Liu Haojia! Anyway, I just spread the rumors and didn't confirm the matter. If no one took the lead, Emperor Wanli still had a lucky idea, that is, to leave the impeachment matter vague.
But Emperor Wanli's hopes were soon shattered, because after a long silence, an official finally came out and loudly said: "Your Majesty, I have my own report!"
Emperor Wanli looked up angrily and saw that the man who was leaving the job was about forty years old, with a tall figure, a Chinese character face, and bright eyes. He looked upright, which was in line with his status as a censor!
