"Hahaha..." Emperor Chongzhen laughed immediately when he saw it, stood up from the throne and said, "Sir, you are back, is everything okay?"
His sudden change in attitude immediately let everyone who was impeaching Zhang Mingwei know that they were trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket, and such a huge "backlash" was of no use at all.
Realizing this made almost everyone involved in the impeachment of Zhang Mingwei in the Wenhua Hall very frustrated. They really couldn't understand what kind of ecstasy soup this Zhang Mingwei had poured into the emperor, and no matter how they tried to impeach him, it was of no use!
The Nine Lotus Bodhisattva thing was so useful last time that it frightened Emperor Chongzhen into killing his first assistant Xue Guoguan! Why does it seem to have no effect at all this time?
Could it be that the emperor had to die a relative, that is, the so-called coffin would not shed tears, so that Zhang Mingwei would be unlucky?
Thinking this way, almost most people involved in the impeachment can only hope that the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva will appear again!
At this time, Zhang Mingwei didn't care what these civil servants and generals thought in their hearts. He smiled and replied to Emperor Chongzhen, "Everything has been sorted out, and the criminals have been caught."
"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen clapped his hands when he heard it, and immediately praised him happily. Then, he pointed at the officials in the Wenhua Hall who participated in the impeachment, and said to Zhang Mingwei, "These people ignored my warning and would rather lose their official positions than impeach you, a traitorous official who has harmed the country. In this case, you give them Let’s talk about it and tell them to go away and give up!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjia and others all wondered what it meant. Did the emperor want to fire so many officials at once? This...this...isn't what you mean?
The dismissal of so many officials at once is definitely very rare since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. From the ministers to the doctors of various ministries, if so many officials are gone at once, is it possible that the emperor also wants to be Emperor Shenzong, and there will be a "grand occasion" with only a few officials in one yamen?
Also, after hearing what the emperor meant, Zhang Mingwei went to inspect Duke Cheng's mansion and seemed to have successfully obtained evidence that Duke Cheng was corrupt and perverting the law, or was it simply corruption of military pay?
Thinking about it, it is not difficult to find out about the fact that the Beijing camp is eating empty pay and embezzling military pay. It doesn't seem difficult for Zhang Mingwei to get the evidence. Now that he is using this point to launch an attack, Duke Cheng Guo is indeed unlucky and cannot reverse the verdict.
But this is not the point. The point is that if Zhang Mingwei is allowed to investigate like this, everyone will be found out and everyone will be unlucky!
Looking back, even if these things haven't happened yet, the emperor's intention is that impeachment will turn into slander, and everyone will be dismissed. This is absolutely not allowed!
Thinking this way, many people panicked as they felt that the other party was confident.
Among them was Li Rixuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Before Zhang Mingwei could speak, he rushed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Don't you believe the warning of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva? How can the truth behind human affairs be compared to this?" A sign from the gods? If you don’t listen to God’s words, there will be disaster!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva represents the will of God. If you turn a blind eye and anger God, there may be troubles not only in the palace. When the drought demon comes out, the Dragon King shows his power, the people's lives will be ruined, and the country will be endangered!" Chen Xinjia knows what the emperor cares about, He immediately used his brain to connect with Jiangshan Sheji.
Others were also afraid that Zhang Mingwei would speak first, and then the emperor would make the final decision and dismiss them. Therefore, they who had just vowed to eliminate traitors for the country even if they lost their official positions, all echoed the words of Li Rixuan, Chen Xinjia and others, and did not give Zhang Mingwei a chance to speak.
Suddenly, the Wenhua Hall was noisy again. The four words "Nine Lotus Bodhisattva" are the most commonly spoken.
Thinking about it, now they can only grasp the last straw of Jiulian Bodhisattva, maybe they will have a chance to reverse the situation.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at their faces and knew exactly what they were thinking. At this moment, Mr., he didn't want to listen to the chatter of these corpses, and he didn't want to listen for a moment, so he slapped the imperial case hard, making a "snap" sound, which immediately shocked all the courtiers below.
"Shut up, everyone!" Emperor Chongzhen yelled angrily, "If anyone dares to make any more noise before you finish speaking, I will reward him with ten sticks to wake him up."
The emperor was disrespectful and the fight was justified. When the people present saw the angry Emperor Chongzhen, no one thought that the emperor was just scaring them, so they all shut up. After all, no one wanted to try to see if he would be punished by the court. Stick!
Zhang Mingwei saw that the Wenhua Hall had calmed down, so he slowly said, "This time I led the Yongwei Battalion to Fangshan to suppress the bandits. I found out that Duke Cheng Guo sent his servant Zhu Youfu to instigate his distant nephew Zhu Shiwen to instigate the bandit Wu from Dafangshan. Heizi plundered the refugees returning home. He wasted no time on the lives of the people, ignored their suffering, and tried to cause trouble for me so that he could bring me down..."
After hearing him speak in great detail, including names and surnames, many people knew that this must be true. As a result, many people were surprised. They didn't expect that Duke Cheng Guo would come up with this move. It was really high. It's a pity that Zhang Mingwei still couldn't be helped, but he caught the advantage.
It would be better if Zhang Mingwei went to raid the Duke Cheng's Mansion just because of this. At least the military attachés in the palace breathed a sigh of relief.
"...Unexpectedly, on my way back to the capital overnight, I encountered an assassin and killed one on the spot. The other two injured assassins were also found in the Duke Chengguo's mansion..."
After hearing this, many people secretly lamented why Duke Cheng Guo was so stupid. After all, since you decided to assassinate, you must succeed in the assassination. Fortunately now, the assassination failed and he was found out. No wonder the emperor was so angry that he even turned his anger on them.
At this time, many people began to use their brains. Thinking about how to reduce the impact of this matter, I focused on emphasizing the matter of Nine Lotus Bodhisattva. After all, what Duke Cheng Guo did would only endanger one of his ministers, but the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva would endanger the royal family and the Ming Dynasty!
However, before they could come up with anything, they heard Zhang Mingwei laugh, and then said, "When I was investigating Cheng Guogong, I didn't expect that I bumped into him. He tried to murder Yuan Jiadingbo's family, causing the illusion of suicide. He secretly assassinated Concubine Tian and used the name of Nine Lotus Bodhisattva to threaten the emperor again in order to get rid of me..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Wenhua Palace was shocked, except Emperor Chongzhen.
It may have been expected that Nine Lotus Bodhisattva was fake, but no one expected that Nine Lotus Bodhisattva turned out to be Duke Cheng. And the most important thing is that he was actually hit by Zhang Mingwei.
At this moment, they didn't care at all whether to kill Zhou Kui's family or not. They focused on the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva. If this is the case, then all Zhang Mingwei's crises will be solved, and their previous impeachments will be untenable, and even gods can't help, that's it!
Thinking of this, Li Rixuan couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily, "You must provide evidence before you speak. You said Duke Cheng is the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva. You are slandering!"
Hearing his words, Zhang Mingwei calmly turned his head and looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Originally, there were several civil servants who wanted to slander Zhang Mingwei, but as soon as they heard his words, they immediately felt something bad and shut up urgently.
Sure enough, when Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately understood what Zhang Mingwei meant. He pointed at Li Rixuan and shouted angrily, "How dare you dare to ignore what I just said? Come on, drag him down to him." Ten Court Staffs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several imperial guards who were on duty in the palace immediately swarmed up to him. Without saying a word, they picked up Li Rixuan and left.
My master slanders you and I can’t beat you to death!
Li Rixuan was immediately dumbfounded. His words in a hurry actually attracted the imperial staff. If he wanted to cry out for injustice, he seemed to be unable to do so. The emperor had just made it clear that he had committed the crime!
Seeing that this dignified official minister, whose power in the Ming Dynasty's official circles was not inferior to that of any of the ministers in the cabinet, was actually dragged out to beat Zhang Mingwei for a word, to be honest, the literary minister at this moment In the palace, you could hear a pin drop.
Zhang Mingwei glanced at these people, waited for a while, and saw that no one said anything. He felt regretful that he could only spank one person, and said again, "Listen to what Zhu Chunchen said with me, and Princess Kunxing, Yong Lieutenant General Zhou Yuji and his wife, as well as some other Yongweiying officers and Jinyiwei captains. In addition, I also found out the details of Zhu Chunchen’s two attempts in the palace..."
Hearing what he said, many people ignored the details of what he said later, because they were all shocked at how stupid Zhu Chunchen had to be for so many people to hear his plan! In this case, this is an ironclad case!
That is to say, the case of Jiulian Bodhisattva is not at all the manifestation of the Queen Mother's spirit in heaven, but the Duke Cheng Guo's plot to kill the emperor's fifth son, and also wanted to kill the emperor's most beloved Concubine Tian. This is treason and the murder of the nine tribes. What a sin!
How come a Duke Cheng, with a hereditary title, is so confused that he actually committed such a big case!
Zhang Mingwei seemed to know what they were thinking, and listened to him say, "Zhu Chunchen learned that Xue Guoguan suggested that His Majesty borrow money from nobles to save the country, and for the first time he used the name of Nine Lotus Bodhisattva; this time, he thought that I, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, was instigating Your Majesty severely punished the corruption and bribery in the palace, and the embezzlement of military pay. The next step will be the turn of the Beijing camp, and he will be investigated, so he will try every means to bring me down and assassinate me. When he failed, he used the trick of Nine Lotus Bodhisattva."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he looked at the shock of these courtiers with great enjoyment, as if he had won a great victory.
After a while, he shouted with satisfaction, "So, do you have anything to say? I am the emperor, and I keep my word. I will get rid of anyone who dares to impeach Mr. again. I definitely mean what I say." talk!"
