Although I was mentally prepared, I was convinced when I heard what Emperor Chongzhen said. To be honest, at this moment, I don’t know how many civil servants and military generals who impeached Zhang Mingwei regretted it.
After years of studying hard, years of intrigues, and years of ups and downs in officialdom, I got my current official position, and now it will be gone. And as far as the current foreseeable situation is concerned, as long as the powerful Duke Xingguo is present in the court, there is definitely no chance that those who impeached Duke Xingguo will be resurrected!
In other words, this life’s official career is over!
As a result, some people were stupid, some were filled with regret, and some even looked at Zhang Mingwei with pleading eyes, because they knew that in this situation, only Zhang Mingwei could make Emperor Chongzhen change his mind!
However, will Zhang Mingwei offend them, sympathize with them, and speak for them?
Obviously, how could such a holy thing happen!
If he writes about his own time travel like this in later generations, he will definitely be hated by readers!
As a result, the group of civil and military officials who participated in the impeachment of Zhang Mingwei, under the surveillance of the Jin Yiwei, all walked out of the palace dejectedly. Even if someone wanted to take advantage of the crowd and chaos to get closer to Liu Zongzhou, they were immediately stopped by the Jin Yiwei captain.
Offending the commander of the Jin Yiwei and trying to escape the consequences of impeachment is really a dream!
Unexpectedly, before they left the Wenhua Hall, they heard Zhang Mingwei say: "You are not allowed to leave the capital without the permission of the Jinyi Guards. Only after it is found that you are innocent as officials, can you leave the capital, or you may have a chance to become officials again. "
As soon as they heard this, these people who were already depressed were immediately stunned as if struck by lightning!
This Duke Xingguo, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, this is naked revenge!
Now, if he is a clean official, who will participate in his impeachment! Now that he is being retaliated by Jin Yiwei and is under thorough investigation, isn't that the end?
However, they can’t say you can’t check!
First of all, it has been proven that when Duke Xingguo gets the favor of the emperor, the emperor only listens to him.
Secondly, this request is not too much! Logically speaking, isn't it the most basic thing to be an official with integrity?
No matter if this matter is mentioned in front of anyone or in any situation, Jin Yiwei is justified!
It's over. This time, under Jin Yiwei's revenge, it will definitely be over!
I remember that when Taizu had embezzled even a little money, he would skin them and sell them as grass. I wonder if the commander of the Imperial Guards would use this ancestral system as an excuse to skin them all to frighten others who dared to impeach him?
When I thought of this, many people's legs suddenly became weak, and they felt as if there were many little ghosts waving in front of them!
Zhang Mingwei looked at them and felt very happy. Let you people chirp, the Ming Dynasty is already in chaos, and you still want to drink the blood of the Ming Dynasty. If you don't do serious practical things, you only know how to attack political opponents!
If this is the case, then I will take good care of you and not take advantage of you. How can we maintain the operation of the Ming Dynasty's military and political system?
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Wu Changshi, a doctor in the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, kneeling down at him and saying with a mournful face: "The guilty officer was deceived by others, and he was blinded by lard and made the decision to impeach the Duke." I feel extremely regretful about such a thing, and please don’t mind the guilty officer’s unintentional mistake!”
What he said shocked Zhang Mingwei. Who shouted the loudest and danced the loudest just now? Why did he open his mouth and be deceived by someone, and he accidentally made a mistake without noticing it?
In Zhang Mingwei's two lifetimes, he has seen thick-skinned people, but he has never seen anyone so thick-skinned!
There was no response from him, and Wu Changshi had already reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the selection and assessment of officials in the world must not be left alone! The minister has realized his mistake, and he must work harder than before and do his best. It is a good thing, please give me a chance, and I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations..."
Emperor Chongzhen was also dumbfounded. He had grown up and had seen and heard far fewer things than Zhang Mingwei. Naturally, he had never seen such a shameless person in the world!
After coming back to his senses, he saw that many of the dismissed officials wanted to imitate him. He immediately shouted: "I don't believe it. Without Butcher Zhang, we can only eat pigs with hair on them? In the world?" , there is no shortage of officials!"
Having said this, he waved his hand in disgust and shouted: "Go back and stay there, waiting for the Jin Yiwei to come to check!"
When the Jinyi guards saw this, they immediately drove away these shameless civil and military officials like pigs.
The few officials in the Wenhua Hall who were not involved in the impeachment looked at this scene in stunned silence. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a thing happen in the Ming Dynasty!
It was not until these officials were driven away and the Wenhua Hall suddenly became empty that Liu Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu, came back to his senses.
However, he was not happy that those civil and military officials were punished. Instead, he frowned and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the world is in troubled times now, and all the government offices in the imperial court cannot be empty!"
So many officials were suddenly lost. In addition, the cabinet was also arrested. The chief minister was arrested, and two assistant ministers had to retire and return home. Basically, in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, at least half of the important officials were missing. This would definitely affect the yamen. operating.
Hearing his words, Emperor Chongzhen had not yet spoken. Zhang Mingwei smiled and said to Liu Zongzhou: "There is nothing to worry about. Just let the officials in each yamen who have not been dismissed temporarily take over their duties. Wait until your Majesty selects the suitable one." It will be natural if you choose the right person.”
Having said this, he turned to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, when I entered the palace just now, I saw Zuo Maodi, Du Yinxi and Yan Yingyuan waiting for the order outside the palace gate!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, pass the order and let them see you immediately!"
These are the talents recommended by the husband, who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty. One is known as Wen Tianxiang of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the most visionary in the Nan Ming Dynasty. The other one can lead the small county of Jiangyin to resist the siege of the imperialists for eighty years. One day long!
To be honest, he has been looking forward to these people for a long time.
Especially Yan Yingyuan, Emperor Chongzhen always remembered his death poem very clearly:
On the 80th day, he pledged his allegiance to the emperor, representing the figures of Taizu's seventeenth dynasty.
One hundred thousand people died together, leaving three hundred miles of Ming Dynasty behind.
When Liu Zongzhou on the side saw this situation, he was a little dumbfounded: What is this?
That Zuo Maodi was given to Shizhong by the Ministry of Revenue, and he knew it. And that Du Yinxi seems to have some impression that he is a local official. But who is that Yan Yingyuan? Why haven’t I heard of him at all?
Why was the emperor so anxious to summon them when he heard that these three people were awaiting orders? What ability do these three people have that can make the emperor so anxious?
To be honest, he really couldn't figure it out.
Even so, there was nothing for him to do in the Wenhua Hall at this time. Even if he was curious, he could only leave and go about his own business.
The same goes for some other people. Nowadays, there are a lot fewer people in each yamen. They can only be busier and have no free time to sit here and listen.
The eunuchs of the Bureau of Ceremony, who had always been transparent people, also hurriedly went to work under the leadership of their eunuch Wang Chengen. Nowadays, most of the affairs of the cabinet fall on them, and they are very busy.
Therefore, after a while, only Zhang Mingwei was left in the Wenhua Hall.
While waiting for the three people to meet outside the palace gate, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, today is the happiest day for me! Haha, it's so satisfying to punish so many corpses at once!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered and said quickly: "Oh, by the way, my Concubine Tian's condition improved after using Sir's method. Now I know that the culprit who killed my fifth son has been caught. , I will definitely be even more happy when my great revenge is avenged!"
Emperor Chongzhen loved Concubine Tian the most. Thinking that he would have lost this concubine and was saved by Zhang Mingwei, to be honest, he was really grateful to Zhang Mingwei in his heart.
Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words and feeling his joy, Zhang Mingwei smiled slightly and said, "It's really thanks to His Majesty's great blessing that we were able to solve the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva case so quickly!"
"Where!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "My daughter has told me that it was my husband who was so worried about state affairs that he didn't even bother to rest. To the surprise of the traitor, he was able to catch him committing murder. !”
At this point, he remembered it again, and smiled and said to Zhang Mingwei: "The queen explained the situation to her mother, which caused the queen and her mother's family to be destroyed. Now her father is the only one left. It's not you, nor It’s not me, it’s that traitor. Haha, I feel no burden at all anymore!”
Although he had the reputation of exterminating relatives for justice and the excuse that "a prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people", after all, this was an era when the world was governed by filial piety. Although he was the emperor, for Zhou Kui, it was a relationship between monarch and minister.
But no matter what, there is no doubt that he is the father-in-law of the country. On the surface, no one dares to gossip about Emperor Chongzhen severely punishing the father-in-law's family, but people's hearts are the most uncontrollable, and maybe some people in the world will have other opinions.
But it's good now, the truth is out. No matter who it is, when they talk about this, they will only say that Zhou Kui is stupid, and that's why he was taken advantage of and his family was destroyed!
Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood. After chatting for a while, he suddenly thought of something again and said to Zhang Mingwei with a smile: "What Liu Qing just said makes sense. When the world is in chaos, there are indispensable people in the Yamen. Mr. , it has been many days, do you have any loyal ministers or good generals that you can think of?"
Not to mention, when Zhang Mingwei checked the files transferred by Dongchang and Jinyiwei's files these days, he actually saw some information and remembered a few people from it.
