108 Party contention

When Zhang Mingwei went to catch up on sleep, Emperor Chongzhen was as diligent as before and started a new day of early dynasty.

At this time, he was actually in a good mood.

Not to mention that Zhang Mingwei told him so many things yesterday that could improve the armament of the Ming Dynasty and enhance the strength of the imperial army, just because Jinyiwei set an example and severely punished the offenders, the Metropolitan Procuratorate also began to conduct a self-examination.

Emperor Chongzhen has reason to believe that after these supervision yamen of the Ming Dynasty first correct themselves, and then correct the world, it will not take too long for the rule of officials to improve.

Not to mention, at this time, he also made up his mind to kill chickens and monkeys. And this time the killing of chickens and monkeys is not just killing a chicken, but a group of chickens. Emperor Chongzhen felt that in this way, he could deter those ***** even more.

However, what Emperor Chongzhen never expected was that he still thought too simply!

Morning, as yesterday, there was no absence. After the ceremony, the imperial historian Xu Dianchen was the first to come out and impeach Wei Zhaocheng, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, earlier than the original history, saying that he was close to the concubine and abandoned his wife, and instigated his son-in-law to commit evil and adultery.

When Wei Zhaocheng heard this, of course he refused to admit his guilt, and immediately defended himself in court.

This is not over, Ma Jiazhi in the matter, Zheng Kunzhen, Cao Rong, etc., impeached another cabinet auxiliary minister, Zhang Sizhi, saying that he schemingly robbed his brother's family wealth, taught his children no way, and caused disaster to the township and so on.

Of course, Zhang Sizhi would not admit his guilt and immediately defended himself in court.

As a result, before he could come to a conclusion on this matter, Yang Zhiqi and other imperial historians jumped out, and even impeached his own superior, Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, saying that he was ready to exclude dissidents and promote cronies with the emperor's trust.

Liu Zongzhou's self-examination was suddenly impossible, and he had to avoid suspicion. Even if the emperor asked him to continue, it would not be easy to do things. Whoever he wants to give a low score and who he gives a high score is to exclude dissidents and promote his people.

As for the evidence, how can it be so easy to obtain.

Suddenly, the court quarreled into a pot of porridge.

This scene made Emperor Chongzhen unthinkable no matter what. Still thinking about the rule of the officials, that's it, how can the officials rule the Qingming Law?

If it were the same as before, he would be dizzy by the remarks of these courtiers one after another, and he couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong. In the end, it is the side that wins the party struggle and becomes the correct side in his cognition.

But at this time, because Zhang Mingwei explained it to him, he was able to jump out of this noisy circle and look at all this from a relatively high height. He understood that they were not really doing anything at all, but were using this opportunity to attack their political opponents. Or maybe they're telling the truth, but they may also be making it up and deducting.

Relatively speaking, the imperial historian is a good story, and he doesn't need evidence, this is the rule set by Taizu!

The original meaning was to let corrupt officials and corrupt officials think about the consequences of leaking the rumors when they wanted to become traitors, and warn them not to become traitors.

However, now it is an excellent excuse for partisanship!

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to listen to the noise of the courtiers below.

He understands that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is afraid that it will not be able to check itself. If you want to rectify these people, you still have to rely on the factory guards!

So, for the first time, Emperor Chongzhen brushed his sleeves away while the courtiers were still doing things.

His behavior made the civil officials stunned, and they were all a little surprised.

But after coming to his senses, none of these civil officials mattered. The matter of disturbing the self-examination of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be regarded as achieving its goal. So, one by one, they scattered. What should have been done before, it is still what it should be.

When the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, saw that the emperor was gone, he immediately followed.

He probably knew Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts, so he took a few steps, and when he reached behind Emperor Chongzhen, he comforted him in a low voice: "Long live Lord, when the people recommended by Mr. arrive, you can replace them one by one, and at that time, Long Live Lord will be able to worry less!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard his words, he stopped and turned his head to look at him, and his expression was obviously a little better.

However, before Wang Chengen was happy, he heard Emperor Chongzhen ask him, "How is the preparation for that matter?" ”

As soon as Wang Chengen heard it, he knew that it was a matter of killing chickens and monkeys, so he hurriedly replied in a low voice: "There are two more days, and it will be almost there." It's just that the gentleman doesn't seem to know yet, do you want to notify him and urge him? ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded and said: "This Zhou Yanru is also hateful, and he has been the first assistant, and he has been dealt with together, which is even more deterrent." Then you go and urge Mr. ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was a little surprised when he saw Princess Kunxing coming, and immediately asked, "What about Mr.?" ”

Zhu Yujiao was already a little numb to the fact that her father was most concerned about her husband, so she didn't think about it and said, "Mr. didn't sleep all night last night, and he is resting now." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised, and couldn't help but say: "This gentleman too, he doesn't care about his body at all, he stays up all night and hurts his body!" ”

When he said this, he found that his daughter's eyes were red and tired, so he asked with concern, "What, you also stayed up all night?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Yujiao listened, nodded, and then handed over a copy of the recital with both hands and said, "This is something that Mr. sorted out overnight, and it is very detailed about yesterday's ordnance." ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately didn't say a word, and immediately grabbed the piece and opened it as soon as possible.

Sure enough, it is very detailed from the beginning of steel smelting to the final creation of firearms. Judging from the accompanying pictures, some of the content is even something that has not been seen before. Although he didn't know what it would be like when it was actually executed, he felt that there was a lot of knowledge in it as soon as he saw it.

Therefore, he nodded while watching, and the unhappy mood he had just had in the morning disappeared unconsciously.

After looking at the general situation, Emperor Chongzhen immediately handed over the chapter to Wang Chengen, and solemnly instructed him: "You go to do this immediately, and the relevant yamen must be explained, so do what Mr. said." ”

"Then Zhou Yanru's ......" Wang Chengen heard it and hurriedly asked.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he waved his hand without hesitation and said: "There is no more of him, and there is no more of him, and this killing of chickens and monkeys can be done with just a few people!" ”

"......" Wang Chengen was speechless when he heard it, the emperor didn't seem to mean that just now.

However, he understands that Mr. is too important to the emperor. Sir to rest, that's the most important thing!

So, he hurriedly took the order and retired to do business.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen remembered that the handwriting was written by his daughter, so he said to Zhu Yujiao with concern: "You also stayed up all night, go, hurry up and rest!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yujiao's heart warmed, and she hurriedly said: "Mr. also recommended a person, asking his daughter to tell her father and help him transfer this person to him for use!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen liked it the most, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it, tell me quickly!" ”
