Chapter 90: Several Cases and Investigations

"Check, find out who it is, and immediately report back to me."

Wei Zhongxian showed a sneer on his lips, and hurriedly agreed.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao said again:

"Pass the decree, the Xinuan Pavilion is in Jin, Gu Bingqian, and the ministers will follow the decree and see things without delay."

"After that, the minister's advance and retreat were taken from the Xinuan Pavilion's ruling, and the ministers still listened to the minister's deliberations when they went to stay, and if they did not follow the clear order and went to work without authorization, they were ordered to be with the law of the country!"

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he fell into Gong E's arms again, drowsy.

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's heart trembled, and now he finally understood what the emperor was going to do with this Xinuan Pavilion minister.

This is to empty the six ministries of the cabinet and monopolize power!

The internal money went straight to the Xinuan Pavilion, and the minister went to listen to the ruling of the ministers, and the words were good, and the Xinuan Pavilion was the place where the emperor handled government affairs.

The ruling of the ministers is the emperor's appoint!

But this is also very good, the outer court cleans itself, and the emperor sets up an inner court himself, which is also convenient for conveying decrees.

......

"Factory father, factory father, please save me!"

In the Dongchang prison, Wang Huazhen, who had been tortured to the point of not being human, was kneeling in front of Wei Zhongxian in front of him and begging for mercy.

Seeing him like this, Wei Zhongxian was also surprised, and said:

"You guys from Donglin, aren't all bones very hard, why, you want to get caught when you play with Bendu?"

Subconsciously, Wei Zhongxian would not believe that a person like Wang Huazhen would beg for mercy from him, that is, his face was full of sneers, and he was not moved at all.

Wang Huazhen was anxious to prove herself, and said: "Changgong, the Donglin Party pushed me to the Senate of Guangning, but it was really to embezzle Liaodong's military salary. ”

"Phi Dao and Liaoshen have all been sent to Guangning, as long as the factory saves me, I am willing to testify in court!"

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, his eyes rolled.

As Wang Huazhen said, it is enough to hold an upright triage of the three divisions to wipe out the personnel of the Donglin Party in Liaodong.

"Are you willing to draw?" Fu Yingxing got Wei Zhongxian's signal and stepped forward to ask.

"Yes, yes!"

Wang Huazhen knew that the Donglin Party building was about to fall, and the emperor relied on the Wei Party, if he wanted to survive, it was impossible to rely on the Donglin Party's mouth cannons to run for himself.

There is only one way, change the court and take refuge in the Wei Party!

In the Xinuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao looked at the secret performance of the East Factory, and he also felt ridiculous.

Right next to him, there were still a bunch of Donglin Party who were still pleading for Wang Huazhen, and they raised forces from all sides to save him.

Wang Huazhen did a desperate job, and directly took refuge with Wei Zhongxian in the Dongchang prison and kicked Donglin, and even Wei Zhongxian was interceding for him.

"Ye Xianggao, look at what disciples you have taught." With a sneer, Zhu Youxiao said, "Tell Wei Zhongxian that I know." ”

Not long after, when Wei Zhongxian received the news, he also laughed sadly.

In his opinion, the four words "I know" are tantamount to "I don't care", since the emperor is interested, he must make some moves first.

......

There was news in the palace that Wang Huazhen would be interrogated by the three law divisions.

Hearing this, the Donglin Party was very happy, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Three Law Divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were almost all their people.

The trial was held as scheduled, and in this matter, the Donglin Party had already made arrangements, and they wanted to protect Wang Huazhen, so they just took a situation.

The presiding judge, Zou Yuanbiao, is a Confucian in Donglin, who is jealous and hateful, and the Donglin Party pushes him to come to trial, which is also to block the mouth of the court.

In the hall, Zou Yuanbiao said majestically: "The ministers of the court, what a crime!" ”

Wang Huazhen returned: "The servant doesn't know what the crime is! ”

Zou Yuanbiao glanced at the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and said: "The court and the Chinese government all say that you are ordered to go out of the customs, lose your land and lose the city, and you will be responsible for the integration of merit and crime." ”

Wang Huazhen sneered: "Since I arrived in Guangning, everything is under your orders, meritorious and not guilty, how can I be responsible!" ”

Zou Yuanbiao was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he didn't expect him to have such an answer.

Everyone in the three law divisions in the hall was talking about it, what did he want Wang Huazhen to do, biting himself?

Because he didn't prepare in advance, Zou Yuanbiao had no choice but to play casually and asked angrily: "What did we tell you about?" The sinners in the court, don't be a fool! ”

Wang Huazhen said again: "Phi Dao's food and salary, Liaoshen military assets, if it weren't for your private message to me, with my heart to serve the country, how could I detain it?" ”

"Today, I will no longer be in the same stream as you!"

Zou Yuanbiao realized it later, knowing that Wang Huazhen had already taken refuge in the eunuch party, and if he was tried again, he was afraid that he would also be implicated.

He got up angrily and temporarily withdrew from the courtroom, ending the first day of cross-examination.

In order to avoid suspicion, Wei Zhongxian only secretly manipulated the whole process, and never went out in the yamen of the East Factory.

But on this day, a man came to visit, which made him let out a hearty sneer.

"Pavilion Elder, you have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace, let's get straight to the point, you came to find Bendu, what is the matter?"

Dongchang Yamen, Wei Zhongxian held a glass of Hangzhou Longjing in his hand, full of smiles.

The one who came to him was Han Ying, the deputy assistant of the cabinet.

Han Ying, Wei Zhongxian has a good impression, although he is also one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, but he is a moderate, and his actions are different from Yang Lian, Gao Panlong and others.

At this time, I came to myself for the sake of peace.

Sure enough, Han Ying said: "Father-in-law Wei, in Xia and Dongchang, the well water does not violate the river water, and if Wang Huazhen's matter is to be connected, please also... Raise your hand. ”

"Hahaha."

In front of him, Wei Zhongxian laughed, and it wasn't until Han Ying's face was wrong that he said:

"What does the elder think, this governor was ordered by the emperor to investigate the corruption of Liaodong's military salary, what does it have to do with you?"

"Thank you, thank you..."

Han Ying wiped his sweat and turned to leave, he was really frightened by Zhang Heming's killing of the three clans.

Looking at Han Ying's back, Wei Zhongxian beckoned Fu Yingxing to come over, and whispered something, that is, a sneer on his face.

......

In the end, the three legal divisions could not be tried.

Zou Yuanbiao and other officials of the Three Law Divisions could not try it, and they did not dare to ask deeply, and the case could not be dragged on forever, so they were transferred from the Three Law Divisions to Dongchang.

However, within a few days, Wei Zhongxian presented the results to the imperial front.

Looking at this so-called result, Zhu Youxiao also knew that the dispute between the Wei Party and Donglin had finally divided a small high.

After that, Cui Chengxiu, who was promoted to the secretary of the military department, and the rest of the Wei party people have gone up and added fuel to the fire.

In order to achieve greater results, they put together the three major cases and the Wang Huazhen case, which were concise and to the point, and all of them were done by the Donglin Party.

With regard to the shooting, the "eunuchs" commented on it as follows.

"Use this to start a dispute between flesh and blood, frame the Divine Sect, and lose the first emperor."

The general meaning is that the Donglin Party used this case to provoke the relationship between the emperor's father and son, and was ashamed of the favor of the first emperor.

As for the Red Pill case, the discussion is more "incisive".

"The creation of the saying of 'not tasting medicine' is vainly saying that the first emperor will not die well."

It means that the Donglin Party will be Guangzong's death, and "guessing" will not be a good death, which is a great rebellion.

On the case of moving the palace, Wei Zhongxian obviously didn't plan to let go of Yang Lian, who was back in his hometown, and involved him again.

Cui Chengxiu was instructed by Wei Zhongxian to impeach, saying: "Yang Lian and others colluded with the inner servants and deliberately aggravated the crime of Li Xuanzhi, in order to invite supporters." ”

This so-called chamberlain is naturally Wang An, the great eunuch who has returned to his hometown, as for why he was not nominated, I think it is because Wei Zhongxian does not want to fight Wang An to death.

The conclusions of the Wei Party on the three major cases can be summed up in one sentence.

Donglin people are not meritorious officials, they are the culprits of the three major cases, if the emperor brings them to justice, it is their deserved, and they are very happy.

Punish crimes, cleanse and set the tone.

It took Wei Zhongxian almost a year to finally complete the task handed over to him by the emperor.
