On the fifth day of the ninth month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Chongzhen brought hundreds of civil and military officials to Fuxi Zong's coffin to Feng'an, Deling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the tenth day of the ninth month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Chongzhen announced that the funeral was over, and the hundred officials continued to start normal administration, but during the funeral, banquets, singing and dancing, and drinking were prohibited.

On September 15, the first court meeting of the Chongzhen Dynasty was held.

Emperor Chongzhen deliberately asked the Praetorian Guards to lift the ban on the Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion, and sent Wang Tiqian to invite Wei Zhongxian to the palace and ordered him to continue to "listen to the government".

Emperor Chongzhen did this, it was Wang Zhizheng's instructions, in fact, Wei Zhongxian's heart was the same as Mingjing, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen did not arrest him, not because he was not ready to do it, but because he couldn't find the right time.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Gonggong Wei, I heard that during the funeral of Xizong, you were recuperating from a serious illness, and now that you are recuperating, you can come to listen to the government again, I feel very relieved." ”

Wei Zhongxian bowed down and said: "When the emperor ascends the throne, he can take care of the loyalty of the old slave, and the old slave is very pleased. ”

Chongzhen nodded and said, "You are loyal, this is what the first emperor told me several times, so that I can treat you well. ”

Wei Zhongxian bowed down and said: "The kindness of the first emperor, the old slave is unforgettable. It's just that many folk places have established shrines for the old slave, and the old slave is quite uneasy, but he can't interfere too much. The old slave asked the emperor to order the demolition of the ancestral hall. Let the old slave stay in the palace and serve the emperor with peace of mind. ”

Chongzhen smiled slightly, and said generously: "You have done a good job, the people have built a shrine for you, this is reasonable! Since you have such a request, then I think it is good, the ancestral hall built before will continue to exist, and in the future, don't build a shrine for Gonggong Wei, okay?"

Wei Zhongxian saw Chongzhen get off the donkey, and immediately approved, and felt a burst of annoyance in his heart: This little guy really pretended to be before.

But the hundred officials immediately understood. It seems that the emperor is not afraid of this Wei Zhongxian.

Wang Zhizheng came out of the class and said: "The emperor is wise, for the matter of the ancestral hall, some people have complained before, and the local magistrate has embezzled the people's land in order to build the ancestral hall. This kind of thing, Weichen thinks it should be banned!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "How much land has been embezzled, the local magistrate will compensate the people, and the ancestral hall does not need to be demolished." ”

Wang Zhizheng then said in a strange manner: "Wei Chen thinks that the ancestral hall is still demolished, after all, Gonggong Wei is still alive, and the construction of the ancestral hall is always a little unlucky!"

As soon as Wang Zhizheng said this, the hundred officials understood his attitude, and it seemed that Wang Zhizheng was already about to tear his face with Wei Zhongxian!

Wei Zhongxian is not a person who gets angry with one blow, he is an old politician who is very urban, so he arched his hand and said: "What Taifu said is reasonable, and the old slave also asks the emperor to demolish the ancestral hall!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "What Lord Taifu said is reasonable, but the ancestral hall is still not dismantled, after all, the commemoration of hundreds of officials also shows that you have done a good job!"

At this time, Chen Bangmei, who was riding on the wall and watching, held a wat board and said: "Please think twice, the ancestral hall has no classics to follow in ancient times, and it can only work for the people and harm money!

Then Jiang Nai, Mao Yilu, Shen Shaoxian, Wu Jue and others asked for the demolition of the ancestral hall.

Yu Shi Lu Chengyuan came out and said: "Even if the first emperor and the ancestors and ancestors did not establish a living ancestral hall, how can a factory minister build a living ancestral hall?"

Lu Chengyuan is neither a Donglin Party nor a Eunuch Party, and when he asked for this performance, all the officials relieved themselves, and it seemed that it would be too late if he didn't express his position, so he almost knelt down and asked for demolition!

Seeing this situation, Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed, but he was a person who had experienced things and was very deep in the city, so of course he didn't show it, so he waved his hand very calmly: "No." The factory ministers still have merit to the community. I said that if you have merit, you should be rewarded!"

At this time, there was an official in his early thirties who looked a little ugly suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The emperor said that meritorious service should be rewarded, but hundreds of officials fell into the well one after another, looking at the face of the Taifu and acting! This is really a grass on the wall, on both sides!"

At this time, all the officials turned their attention to this person, Wang Zhizheng knew that this person was not a big official, he was a straight scholar and politician, named Sun Zhixian, who was involved in Wei Zhongxian's door in his early years and obeyed Wei Zhongxian's words.

Wang Zhizheng stared at Sun Zhiqi and said with a smile: "Lord Sun, you have some problems with your words, you said that the hundred officials looked at the face, I don't know what this means?"

Sun Zhiqi sneered: "Taifu is leaning towards the government and the opposition, there must be no need to say more, since you attacked Gonggong Wei, who would dare to disobey the courtiers?"

Wang Zhizheng shook his head and said: "In the next is to talk about things, the Jiansheng Temple is not only inconsistent with the etiquette, but also will work the people and hurt the money, the hundred officials just feel that what they said makes sense, and Lord Sun is serious!"

Sun Zhiqi continued to be unrelenting: "You said that it is not reasonable, why didn't you say that the first emperor was alive, and you said it when the new emperor ascended the throne?"

At this time, Li Fan, who was a eunuch, also jumped out: "Yes, Taifu, why don't you dare to mention the first emperor when he is alive? Isn't it obvious that the first emperor is gone, so he bullied Gonggong Wei?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled coldly and said, "Okay, it's all jumped out." ”

He glanced at Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen immediately understood, and carefully recorded who everyone who jumped out.

After Li Fan, Tian Ji, Wei Liangqing, Wei Guangwei, Huo Weihua, Ma Baixian, Bi Zhiyuan, etc., jumped out in one breath and more than a dozen people hugged Wei Zhongxian.

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand amiably and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to what I said, what Wang Taifu said is not unreasonable, and it is not unreasonable for the hundred officials to ask for the demolition of the ancestral hall, so don't be so excited, but Sun Zhiqi, Li Fan, don't worry, I will not order the demolition of the ancestral hall, after all, this is also the will of the people!"

Wei Zhongxian fell to his knees with tears in his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave is old and frail, and he can't worry about the emperor, they call the old slave nine thousand years old, and the old slave is already afraid of this name, so I beg long live to ban this name!"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said, "Quasi-play!"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, eased his nerves and then tentatively: "The old slave is old and frail, and he can't serve the emperor in the palace, so I implore the emperor to let the old slave go back to his hometown." ”

Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself: What are you Wei Zhongxian going to test me to.

So he pulled his face: "Why, the first emperor is a big deal, and you are not willing to serve me?

Wei Zhongxian bowed down and retreated to Emperor Chongzhen's side.

At this time, Wang Zhizheng threw out the ball of the Hakka family: "Xizong's nurse Keshi was originally a nurse mother, and the first emperor treated her well, but she conspired to let the two concubines of the first emperor's palace conceive wild seeds, intending to replace the royal bloodline, and the emperor must order a thorough investigation of this case!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he pretended to be angry and slapped the shore and said, "Taifu said this, can there be real evidence?"

Wang Zhizheng nodded and said: "The time of the pregnant palace concubine's intercourse does not match the record of the Jingshi room, and Empress Yi'an proves that the palace concubine has not asked for peace on time in the past two months, and she is bound to leave the palace privately." Elder Huang Ge is also concerned about this matter, please ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation!"

At this time, Wei Zhongxian's face was blue and white for a while, and he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, this secret was not only discovered by Li Yongzhen, but also informed Wang Zhizheng that he had arrested Sai Pan'an and placed the Hakka family and the two ** palace concubines under house arrest.

The officials didn't know the inside story, and they were all amazed.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was pale, and he ordered: "Mao Yilu, the secretary of Dali Temple, the scholar of Wuyingdian University, Wang Zhizheng, the cabinet counselor, and Qin Yong, the left capital of the procuratorate, immediately arrest the Ke clan and the palace concubines involved in the case, and the people involved in the case, and strictly review them!"

Wang Zhizheng asked: "Among the men involved in the case, Pan Sai'an, Hou Guoxing and Ke Guangxian are marquises, and their identities are valuable, so it is inconvenient for us to interrogate them. ”

Emperor Chongzhen patted the shore of the table and said: "Immediately exempt the three marquis of Pan Sai'an, Hou Guoxing, and Keguangxian!

Wang Zhizheng, Qin Yong and Mao Yilu immediately went out of work and knelt down to receive the order.
