Chapter 196: Tiren plays with fire and ends up immolating

reprimanded Xiong Wencan, and knocked on the side to Yang Sichang, Chongzhen returned to the palace complacently, but saw Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the celebrant and the eunuch, kneeling there motionlessly, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this?" ”

Cao Huachun said seriously: "The slave is waiting for the emperor, the slave has already found out the matter, and he must report it to the emperor." ”

"What's that?" Chongzhen muttered to himself, suddenly remembered, and said, "You mean Qian Qianyi's case, right?" ”

"Wen Tiren, this thing that doesn't open his eyes, you can get rid of whoever you want, it's none of our family's business.

You are a whole family of Qian Qianyi, people begged our family, but our family just said hello to you, and you black-hearted guy actually reported to the emperor secretly.

Do you think we don't know about your intentions? Isn't it because the celebrant has limited the power of your cabinet, and you want to kill two birds with one stone?

It's a shame that the emperor trusts our family and shows you your secret music to our family, otherwise your conspiracy will really succeed. Hmph, you want to get rid of our family is still a little tender, so we simply got rid of you first. ”

was angry, heard Chongzhen's question, nodded hurriedly, and said: "It is Qian Qianyi's case, with the emperor's permission, the slave personally tried the case, and now it has been decided. ”

"With the emperor's permission? Hmph, you don't recommend yourself, this case originally involved you, can I use you? I have to ask, don't you want to get some fakes to deceive me? ”

Secretly saying to himself, Chongzhen said "oh" and said, "Now that you have a conclusion, you might as well talk about it." ”

Cao Huachun had already figured out Chongzhen, Chongzhen's calculations, where could he escape his eyes, but he still said: "After the slave was ordered, he didn't dare to slack off a little, so he quietly ordered people to investigate everywhere, fortunately he lived up to his mission and finally found out the truth." ”

Chongzhen said: "Okay, the truth is the basis for the conclusion, what is the truth?" ”

Cao Huachun said: "The truth is that after Qian Qianyi was dismissed, he has been living in the countryside, singing with some literati and Confucian scholars, and living a leisurely life.

One day, a stick named Zhang Hanru suddenly came to the door and asked Qian Qianyi to help with a personal matter. Qian Qianyi knew that this person was of bad character, so he refused.

This Zhang Hanru, because of this, held a grudge and went to the capital to sue Qian Qianyi for the black state, insisting that he had made a group of friends in the township, spreading strange theories all day long, slandering the government. ”

Chongzhen said angrily: "Is there no royal law? He dared to make false accusations? ”

Cao Huachun said: "I asked this Zhang Hanru, and he said that the reason why he dared to sue such a situation was naturally because he knew the old feud between Lord Shoufu and Qian Qianyi. Oh, by the way, there's evidence for what the minions say.

The fact is that our Lord Shoufu actually arrested Qian Qianyi and others just based on Zhang Hanru's words.

Qian Qianyi and others felt wronged, so they had to find our family, hoping that our family could say a few fair words.

Our family also said, 'Handle the case according to the truth', and Lord Shoufu actually made some untruths to the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor's wisdom, wouldn't our family be a ghost of death? What is his intention? ”

"It seems that Cao Hua Chunguo handled the case with his heart and made the facts so clear, but Wen Tiren just accidentally handled the wrong case, and I don't blame it too much, it's just that I should mediate in the middle and correct the wrong case."

After making up his mind, Chongzhen said: "Wen Tiren is too reckless in doing this, I order him to correct it immediately, and he must not wronged a good person." ”

"Reckless? Correct? It seems that the emperor is going to favor him again, hmph, don't think about it. ”

Thinking about it, Cao Huachun was already in tears, and cried: "This is not a question of recklessness or recklessness at all, in the course of handling the case, the slave learned that our Shoufu Lord will not let go of the person who offended him for the rest of his life, and for the so-called own people, he will support him in every possible way and let him soar." ”

Chongzhen said: "Don't you dare to say this, the so-called own people? Isn't it just a partisan? Could it be that Wen Tiren also has a party? He wasn't like that before. ”

Cao Huachun saw that he had finally hit the vital point, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and pretended to wipe his tears with his sleeve, and said: "What the emperor said is the past, before he became the first assistant, and now he is terrible." ”

Chongzhen said impatiently: "Talking is about evidence, no evidence is tantamount to nonsense, do you have evidence?" ”

Cao Huachun said: "The slave is not as gentle as Wen Tiren, how dare he deceive the emperor?" As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his bosom and handed it over respectfully.

Chongzhen stretched out his hand to take it and opened it to see, but saw that it was densely filled with the content, time, place, and participants of Wen Tiren's conspiracy. After seeing it, he said angrily: "This Wen Tiren is actually a yin and yang person, and he deceived me so hard!" ”

Cao Huachun said: "The most hateful thing in the world is this kind of yin and yang people, who don't think about repaying the king, they only care about themselves, and the slave heard a ballad about Wen Tiren this time, I don't know if the emperor wants to hear it?" ”

Chongzhen said: "What kind of folk song, say it quickly." ”

Cao Huachun said: "The Ministry of Rites reopened the heavenly list, and the champion explored the flower list, and I was a little panicked. The cabinet was turned into a brothel, and the turtle king was always plagued. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly said loudly: "Come on, pass the decree, cut off the official position of Wen Tiren, abolish it as a commoner, and its position will be temporarily replaced by Zhang Zhifa." ”

After dealing with Zheng Zheng, Wen Tiren turned his attention to Qian Qianyi, and just as he couldn't get the point, Zhang Hanru happened to come to sue.

Wen Tiren was overjoyed and was dreaming, Chongzhen actually showed his secret performance to Cao Huachun, and agreed that Cao Huachun would personally investigate the case.

Wen Tiren was shocked: "How can this be? What's wrong with the emperor? ”

A subordinate official said: "The emperor's favor to Lord Shoufu is undiminished, let him go to investigate, what are you afraid of him doing?" ”

Wen Tiren said: "The master of ceremonies is the best spy method, in this world, all officials, don't use spy methods, as long as you are willing to work hard, which one can withstand the investigation?" This Cao Huachun, why did he recommend himself, it was clear that he wanted to get along with us. ”

This official said: "What you say is reasonable, what should we do?" Otherwise, let's gather people to protest to the emperor? ”

Wen Tiren pondered, "It's not appropriate. ”

This official said: "The reason why we want to support our own people is not to ask them to contribute at a critical time?" ”

Wen Tiren said: "Contribute to the light and dark, the light should be bright, and the dark should be dark, if it is like you, wouldn't it be a thief for three years and not recruit yourself?" ”

The official said, "Is that all there is?" ”

Wen Tiren said: "Of course you can't just forget it, it's still the old way, you support it outside, I will tell you sick, if the emperor is favored, you must come over to comfort and keep it like in the past, as long as the emperor comes, this game of chess will be lived." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand at the subordinate officer, signaling him to take care of himself while he went to eat with his family.

As soon as he picked up the spoon, Chongzhen's holy decree arrived, Wen Tiren was dumbfounded, and with a "dang" sound, the spoon in his hand fell to the ground.
