This bloody incident became the biggest news in Nanzhili, and Wang Zhizheng suddenly became the target of Nanzhili's public criticism! The entire Jinling officialdom unanimously impeached Wang Zhizheng for committing misdeeds in Jinling City!
Of course, it also shook the Jingshi, the cabinet and Emperor Chongzhen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhou Yanru, the new first assistant of the cabinet, is Zhang Pu's teacher, and Zhou Yanru has made great contributions to the restoration of the society this time.
Wu Jue, the secretary of the military department, received a letter of complaint from his cousin Gu Wendian, telling that Wang Zhizheng was acting recklessly, seizing the shares of Qinglou, killing at will, and being a mercenary!
Bai Jigui was not idle, and in his complaint letter to his father Bai Hongmin, he described Wang Zhizheng as a villain who was a thousand times worse than Wei Zhongxian!
Soon, Gu Wendian's younger brother Gu Fangdian, Cabinet Minister Bai Hongmin, Cabinet Minister Wu Jue, Cabinet Minister Li Shunguo, and Cabinet Minister Wen Tiren reached an agreement, this time the attitude towards Wang Zhizheng: opposition!
Wu Jue's opposition to Wang Zhizheng was partly because of his cousin's complaint against Gu Wendian, and the other half was because Wu Jue deeply hated Wang Zhizheng's behavior of oppressing the Restoration Society and bullying local bureaucrats in Jinling! He and Wang Zhizheng, former comrades-in-arms, finally came to the hostile side because of interests and the battle front.
Zhou Yanru opposed Wang Zhizheng because the Restoration Society was seized by Wang Zhizheng, the apprentice Zhang Pu was set aside, and the backbone of the Restoration Society was sent to various places, dismantled by Wang Zhizheng, and re-assessed taxes and donations, Zhou Yanru understood that Wang Zhizheng must be defeated, so that he can repay the Restoration Society, so that the Restoration Society can continue to be used by me instead of Wang Zhizheng!
Wen Tiren opposes Wang Zhizheng, the reason is simpler, Zhou Yanru opposes it, I have to oppose it, I take his boat to cross the river!
Bai Hongmin opposes Wang Zhizheng, it can be described as bitter and bitter, since the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the two of them have been fighting openly and secretly, and now they are going to Jinling to bully my son and our family!
Li Shunguo opposed Wang Zhizheng, because of his background, Li Shunguo and Bai Hongmin have the same background, if Wang Zhizheng succeeds in reforming taxes in Jinling, then the entire wealthy family in Jiangnan will have to be plucked and cut off!
The cabinet was unprecedentedly unanimous, and the entire Donglin Party and the Fushe, as well as the centrists, united to deal with Wang Zhizheng.
In this way, the impeachment of Wang Zhizheng's power, mercenaries, killings, and embezzlement was submitted to Emperor Chongzhen's desk.
The day before yesterday, Emperor Chongzhen received a secret letter from Wang Zhizheng, knowing that he had already received seventy or eighty shares in Qinhuaihe, and the hard income of tens of millions of taels of silver was superimposed, which made this anxious young man suddenly feel a lot more relieved.
In the past two days, Emperor Chongzhen, who was a first-time father, finally found time to hold his son.
Who knew that just one day after the cleansing, all the impeachment recitals of the North and South Zhili suing Wang Zhizheng were piled up on the desk.
Emperor Chongzhen frowned.
At this time, the amazingly beautiful Empress Zhou twisted her waist and came over and asked, "What is the emperor worried about?"
Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the excerpt and said angrily: "Tell me, my treasury is short of salary, there is no money for the war, let them take ideas, one by one they hold their breath, I used Wang Zhizheng, I was not afraid of death in Jinling City, and took Ruan Dacheng, Huang Zongxi, Zheng Lie, Chen Zilong, Zhou Cheng, Zhou Gong, and made bold moves to solve my urgent need by drawing shares from Jinling City, but ...... Look at the officials of the north and the south who are directly subordinate to the north and south at the same time, they want to return to Wang Zhizheng and punish him for the crime of domineering and mercenaries!"
After hearing this, Empress Zhou thought: It seems that people who do things are different from people who talk about things, and it is no wonder that how can a doer like Wang Zhizheng not arouse fierce opposition from the cabinet?
Empress Zhou smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, as long as you understand, who is loyal?"
Emperor Chongzhen was distraught and pushed the song to the ground: "I, the emperor's nest! If I refute them, believe it or not, tomorrow all the cabinets of the north and south will be picked by me?"
Empress Zhou sighed and said, "Really, the emperor also has a time when he can't help himself!"
Emperor Chongzhen complained: "Isn't it? Tell me, why is Wang Zhizheng next to this matter of Li Shunguo and Bai Hongmin?"
Empress Zhou smiled slightly and said: "Li Shunguo was born in a family, Wang Zhizheng robbed the rich and helped the poor, and a big family like Li Shunguo is the meat on the board! As for Bai Hongmin, hehe, his son Bai Jigui is fighting with Wang Zhizheng in Jinling City!"
Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "In this case, it's all selfishness?"
Empress Zhou smiled and said: "Needless to say, the entire civil official group of the Ming Dynasty, which one is not only thinking about his own selfish interests?"
Emperor Chongzhen slapped the table and was furious: "Wang Zhizheng killed a few mobs, they are so excited, let me see that he Wang Zhizheng will kill Bai Jizhui, Gu Wendian, Xun Wenwen and some bureaucrats who prevent me from recovering Jiangnan finance and taxes!"
Empress Zhou smiled and said: "I'm afraid that if you really do this, the emperor will have to kill Wang Zhizhengping's official anger!"
Emperor Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said: "This Bai Hongmin, I have long looked at him unpleasantly, he should be killed!"
As he spoke, Emperor Chongzhen picked up Bai Hongmin's recital, picked up a cinnabar pen, wrote a big red cross, and threw it on the ground!
Empress Zhou persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't lose your temper, think about Wang Zhizheng, how many people have been threatened in Jinling, attacked, squeezed, assassinated, you can calm down, at this time, you monarchs and ministers must have a tacit understanding!"
Emperor Chongzhen squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said: "What the queen said is right! Wang Zhizheng can calm down more than my predicament, and I should be even more calm as his backing! You see how I deal with it like this, reprimand Wang Zhizheng, and then give him a verbal edict in private, and let him act according to the original plan! Well, the cabinet can't be connived at, all of them can be appeased, and then I can find an excuse to drive Bai Hongmin and Li Shunguo away?"
Empress Zhou nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The emperor is really a heroic and strategic hero!
Emperor Chongzhen became more aggressive again, he shook Zhou Hou's hand and asked, "Yi An knows if this is the case." ā
Empress Zhou shook her head: "I didn't tell her, now that Empress Yi'an is raising a baby, I don't want her to worry about Wang Zhizheng"
Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "You did the right thing, you must keep it a secret from Yi'an, and now the loyal martyrs of Chongguo Mansion really can't chill their hearts!"
Empress Zhou smiled: "How come?"
Emperor Chongzhen took a pen and wrote a few names.
Empress Zhou took a look:
Shen Shaoxian, Mao Yilu, Tong Yingqiu, Li Jingbai, Huang Hengruo, Wang Zhiqin.
Empress Zhou asked puzzledly, "Who is the emperor's list?"
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "This is the person I plan to recover, these few have merit and me, but because of the fear of the Donglin Party, they were included in the eunuch party, and I am ready to start a gradual recovery!"
Empress Zhou smiled: "Doing so will cause even more dissatisfaction among the Donglin Party and the cabinet!"
Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "Cabinet, Donglin Party, they treat me as a child who can be played with in the palm of their hands, I have to give them some colors this time, especially this Bai Hongmin, I am ready to kill him!"
Empress Zhou smiled slightly: "The harem does not participate in national politics, the emperor thinks it is right, just do it!"
Emperor Chongzhen stared at Empress Zhou with a smile and said: "When I first boarded the plane, in order to win them over, I made a lot of eunuchs, in fact, many of them were wronged, especially that Wang Tiqian, who made a lot of contributions, but in the end he died on the way to exile?
Emperor Chongzhen's expression suddenly became domineering and firm: "The surname of this world is Zhu Bu surnamed Donglin!"
