Seeing that Duke Xingguo didn't even get off his horse, he entered the Forbidden City directly. The guards at the palace gate not only did not stop him, but instead saluted him respectfully.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Maodi and the other three people couldn't help but look at each other.
Although they had tried their best to imagine how powerful Xing Guo Gong was, they did not expect that Xing Guo Gong's power was still beyond their expectations.
But now, Duke Xingguo has become their benefactor, which means that they will be tied to the same boat as Duke Xingguo, and they will advance and retreat together.
If there might have been worries before, now I have heard Duke Xingguo say that the case of Jiulian Bodhisattva has been solved, which means that the biggest threat to Duke Xingguo is gone. In this case, wouldn't it be an opportunity to show off one's talents and ambitions?
Whether it was Zuo Maodi, Du Yinxi, or Yan Yingyuan, God suddenly gave them such an opportunity. As long as they had some ideas, how could they let it go!
At this moment, the three of them looked at each other, and for some reason, they felt more pleasing to each other!
Zuo Maodi nodded to the other two people, "Work hard!"
"Work hard!" Du Yinxi also responded seriously.
Yan Yingyuan hesitated a little because of his humble status, but when he saw the other two people looking at him, he no longer hesitated, nodded vigorously and said, "Work hard!"
………………
There were so many people in the Wenhua Hall that those with lower official positions were almost discharged out of the hall.
In the main hall, impassioned voices could be heard from time to time. Such an intense court meeting today was definitely rare in the Chongzhen Dynasty. Therefore, almost everyone was attracted by the movement in the palace.
When Zhang Mingwei arrived outside the hall, he also heard the fierce and impassioned voices in the hall. He couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, and he sneered in his heart and danced so happily!
The guards and chamberlains at the door were alarmed by the movement, no matter how much they paid attention to the palace.
The leading chamberlain turned around and saw that Duke Xingguo had arrived.
He is from Wang Chengen's lineage and belongs to the grandson level. Those godsons are almost all eunuchs Bingbi, and they are also discussing matters in the palace now.
Hearing that there was so much fierceness in the palace, if Duke Xingguo was overthrown, their ancestors would definitely be implicated, which meant that their interests would be damaged.
Therefore, when I saw Duke Xingguo coming back, I was immediately overjoyed and wanted to go into the palace to report it.
But when Zhang Mingwei saw it, he waved his hand and said, "No need for now, let those people jump out, I will listen first!"
When the servant heard this, he didn't dare not listen. Seeing that Duke Xingguo was calm and composed, he felt at ease, knowing that there would be no problem!
In the main hall, Emperor Chongzhen sat on his throne, looking coldly at the ministers below who were making noises with "righteous indignation" and "righteous words"! The urge to get angry or even furious when I heard these words before was completely gone.
Because Zhu Yuyao had entered the palace before dawn and told him everything she saw and heard. And at the request of my husband, I sent the Yongwei Battalion to take over the Beijing Battalion.
Unexpectedly, the truth about the case of Jiulian Bodhisattva would be revealed so quickly!
Emperor Chongzhen felt so relieved when he thought of this! This is also the case, when faced with these ministers' more intense impeachment of Mr. Wang, he will be less furious.
Because he knows that these are all clowns. As long as the husband returns from the former Chengguo Palace, these clowns will know that they are totally wrong.
I saw that the one who was making "an impassioned speech" now was Li Rixuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who was excited and foaming at the mouth: "...the nature of Duke Xingguo, not only has the oracle been revealed by Jiulian Bodhisattva, but also all colleagues have just made it very clear. Wei Chen thought that the first assistant had already seen through his hypocrisy in seeking fame, and his eyesight was extraordinary. Therefore, Wei Chen begged to release the first assistant from the imperial edict and give him justice."
Wu Changshi, a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, coughed immediately when he heard this, and then went out to play loudly: "Wei ministers second the proposal, the talent and learning of the first assistant are well-known in the world, the reputation is high, and the scholars look up to him. Your Majesty is wise, and you should return the first assistant to one That's fair. Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty cannot live without its first assistant!"
Emperor Chongzhen looked at them coldly, still saying nothing.
He has already seen that, with the help of this massive impeachment of Mr. Zhou, these Zhou Yanru's comrades have jumped out one after another, trying to restore Zhou Yanru's status as chief minister.
Emperor Chongzhen remembered that his husband had said that Zhou Yanru's rise to power was the result of Fushe's operation. In return, Zhou Yanru had to obey Zhang Pu's control and promote and dismiss officials according to the list given by Zhang Pu!
Wu Changshi was jealous of this power, fought for power with Zhang Pu, and assassinated Zhang Pu in an attempt to seize this power.
No matter what, they definitely hope that Zhou Yanru will be reinstated.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen sneered in his heart. Since sir, you have already told me, even if you make ridiculous claims, it is just wishful thinking!
He was thinking about it. Li Rixuan still didn't react when he saw Emperor Chongzhen. He frowned and turned to look at some people. After checking his eyes, he turned back to look at Emperor Chongzhen and loudly said, "The sage said: , the world is in chaos, and there must be monsters. Today's chaos and the suffering of the people are truly unprecedented since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Jiulian Bodhisattva was originally the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, she cares about the country and the country of her ancestors, and her decree has been effective. Once. If Your Majesty turns a blind eye this time, it will definitely make Nine Lotus Bodhisattva angry!"
When he said this, his voice became even louder, and it seemed that he was even more passionate and generous. "Although I know that Your Majesty does not like what I said, it is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the common people of the world. I cannot turn a blind eye. I saw that Your Majesty was bewitched by traitors, causing disaster to the royal family, the people of the world, and the country of Ming Dynasty. Even if Your Majesty is angry and loses his official position, you still have to give some advice."
"Your Majesty, we can no longer allow traitors to harm the country and the people!" Li Rixuan said so excitedly that he burst into tears. If people who don't know see it, they will be really moved by his loyalty and steadfastness, and they will almost shout that Wei Zheng is reincarnated!
"Your Majesty, even Duke Cheng Guo, who has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, is not taken seriously by him. He shouts about beating and killing. In the future, maybe even your Majesty will not take him seriously." Wu Changshi said sadly. , bursting into tears, "Even if I lose my official position, I can never watch him bewitch Your Majesty again. Please make a decision!"
Chen Xinjia, who had already made a "generous speech" before, did not hide after seeing this scene. Instead, he stood up as agreed in advance, not afraid of Emperor Chongzhen's previous statement that whoever wanted to impeach Duke Xingguo again would be the one to do so. If you want to get out, I agree loudly.
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
"..."
Suddenly, most of the civil servants and military officers in the hall stood up and seconded the proposal "full of righteous indignation".
They didn't believe it. So many people stood up and impeached the arrogant commander of the Royal Guards without fear of losing their official positions. Could it be that the emperor wanted to protect him again?
If so many people hold office at the same time, how big of a deal it would be. Can your emperor withstand the pressure? Is an emperor without ministers still an emperor?
In the past, they were actually worried. They were afraid that if they were really dismissed by the emperor, and someone else would immediately take over, they would be in big trouble.
However, this time, even Duke Cheng was poisoned by the commander of the Jin Yiwei. If he continued to let it go, whoever had something to do and would be caught by that man would be in trouble.
Therefore, if everyone unites, I don’t believe it. Your emperor can still dismiss so many people from office?
For a moment, only a few people in the entire Wenhua Hall did not second the proposal and stood still.
Among them, the most conspicuous one is of course Liu Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu.
Seeing this situation, Li Rixuan, who usually had a good relationship with Liu Zongzhou, asked him, "The Metropolitan Procuratorate monitors the world, but there is such a monster in the court. I wonder if Zuo Du Yushi has fulfilled his duties?"
"The Heavenly Official said well!" Wu Changshi immediately followed up and shouted to Liu Zongzhou, "Even the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva in heaven can't see it, but you, the Censor of Zuodu, are indifferent?"
"Could it be that Zuodu Censor talks eloquently on weekdays and proclaims himself the leader of the Qing Dynasty. But when things come to a close and he has to risk losing his official position, he can't bear to do it?" Chen Xinjia also sneered and said sarcastically.
When Liu Zongyi heard this on Monday, he was immediately furious and immediately replied, "How can I, Liu Zongzhou, be a person who is greedy for power? In front of His Majesty, you keep saying that Duke Xingguo is a traitorous official who has harmed the country. So, what kind of traitor did he harm the country?" Are you accepting bribes, taking bribes and bending the law, or are you treating the people as nothing?"
When he said this, all the civil and military officials in the palace felt as if a cat's tail had been stepped on, and most of them immediately fired at him.
Suddenly, in the Wenhua Hall, Liu Zongzhou just said a word, and a lot of people immediately yelled at him, without giving him a chance to speak again.
Amidst all the commotion, it probably means that you, Liu Zongzhou, have taken refuge with Duke Xingguo, forming a clique for personal gain, just to be a clique! The crime of Duke Xingguo has even appeared to the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva. What else can you say? Do you want to make the emperor die and his concubine to be happy?
In short, in the main hall, it seems that they have even sacrificed their official positions to fight the traitor to the end. Those who do this are the traitor's cronies! He is the one who wants to kill the emperor’s concubine!
Liu Zongzhou wanted to speak matter-of-factly, but his voice was completely covered in saliva. Even the censor who supervises the imperial etiquette could not stop this group of angry people.
But at this moment, I heard a chamberlain outside the palace shouting, "The envoy for the resettlement of refugees from the Gyeonggi region and the commander of the Jinyiwei are here to see Duke Xingguo!"
As soon as this voice sounded, the noise in the Wenhua Hall suddenly became silent as if someone had been stuck in the throat. Almost at the same time, everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the main hall.
Sure enough, Zhang Mingwei, wearing a python suit, entered the hall as if nothing happened, bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, I'm back!"
