The next day, when Zhao Junchen came to the noon gate in a sedan chair, many officials looked at Zhao Junchen with obvious awe, and their attitudes became much more respectful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Obviously, they all heard about Zhao Junchen's punishment of Guo Tang yesterday, and Zhao Junchen's tree power achieved an effect.

Interestingly, even many "Zhao Party" officials looked at Zhao Junchen with the same awe.

You must know that in the matter of rectifying Guo Tang, Zhao Junchen basically did not do it himself, but only controlled it remotely behind the scenes, and the specific things were all handled by the "Zhao Party" officials, but even so, after seeing Guo Tang's fate, the "Zhao Party" officials were also frightened.

Zhao Junchen didn't take action in person, he could punish Guo Tang so badly, so what if Zhao Junchen took action in person?

Guo Tang is a young master of the dynasty, and he can be regarded as a noble status, but in front of Zhao Junchen, he has no power to fight back, so what about others?

If it is said that Zhao Junchen used to give people the impression that "you can get a lot of benefits by taking refuge in him", then because of Guo Tang's incident, Zhao Junchen gave people the impression that "you can get a lot of benefits by taking refuge in him, and if you offend him, you will die a miserable death".

It can not only make people go to heaven in one step, but also make people fall into hell, and the so-called "turning over the wind and rain" is about that.

first gave favors, then set an example for chickens and monkeys, and until this day, Zhao Junchen finally established a prestige that matched his power!

However, he said that after Zhao Junchen stepped out of the sedan chair, several core officials of the "Zhao Party" quickly greeted Zhao Junchen.

After hurriedly saluting Zhao Junchen, Huo Zhengyuan's expression was serious, and he reported to Zhao Junchen: "Lord Zhao, things are a little wrong, the crown prince Zhu and Yu are already planning to stand up for Guo Tang, and because of the prince's interference in the Shuntian Mansion, the lower officials can no longer interrogate Guo Min and the people of the 'Sitong Boat Line' at will......"

Then, Zhan Shanchang also looked a little anxious, and said: "There is also a problem on the Guozijian side, because the prince has exerted pressure, and the Guozijian is already planning to withdraw the punishment of Guo Mingtai." ”

Then, Chen Dongxiang also frowned and said: "After seeing the prince's statement, the few imperial historians in the Imperial Court who are inclined to us also flinched a little, and it seems that they are not going to impeach Guo Tang in the court this morning. ”

After all, Zhu Heyu is the crown prince and the future emperor, and the effect of his action can be described as extraordinary, and Zhao Junchen's several plans to punish Guo Tang have encountered major or minor obstacles.

And after the "Zhao Party" saw Zhu Heyu supporting Guo Tang, they all felt pressure.

"If the crown prince had known how to use the power and influence in his hands earlier, I am afraid he would not have fallen into the situation he is in now, but unfortunately he understood it too late......"

After hearing the announcement of the "Zhao Party", Zhao Junchen secretly sighed in his heart.

At the same time, Zhao Junchen's expression was still calm, and he said: "Regarding this matter, I received the news yesterday evening, the matter is not so serious, and you adults don't need to worry." ”

Zhan Shanchang hurriedly asked, "Oh? Master Zhao, what countermeasures do you have in mind? ”

"Countermeasures?" Zhao Junchen asked rhetorically: "What other countermeasures are needed?" Naturally, you can do what you have to do! In the past, it was always the prince and the Qingliu who wanted to investigate us, but we secretly obstructed us, and then they would make things bigger, and often made us unable to get off the stage. Now that feng shui is taking turns, we want to check Guo Tang, but we are obstructed by the prince, so we can naturally make things bigger! Sometimes, the methods of the clear streams can also be learned! After the incident is big, I want to see how the prince and the Qingliu step down! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen turned his head to Huo Zhengyuan and said: "Lord Huo, you are now the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and everything in the capital is under your jurisdiction, and now the 'Sitong Commercial Bank' evasion of taxes and silver, bullying and dominating the market, and bribing officials are within your purview, if someone obstructs you from administering according to law, then how can you sit idly by?" Naturally, I want to report to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty make decisions for you! ”

Then, Zhao Junchen said to Zhan Shanchang and Chen Dongxiang: "If Guozijian dares to withdraw their punishment of Guo Mingtai, it is disregarding the facts and violating the law for personal gain!" If the imperial historians encounter something but ignore it, it is a corpse vegetarian meal and inaction! Lord Zhan and Lord Chen, as colleagues in the imperial court, should naturally warn them one or two and explain to them the wrongs and disadvantages of this practice! ”

Then, Zhao Junchen said in a righteous tone: "Everyone, the laws and disciplines of the court must be enforced, and the axioms of the world must be maintained, since we have discovered the various crimes of Guo Tang and his people, we should boldly expose and judge them solemnly, and we must not have any scruples, let alone retreat because of the pressure exerted by some people, otherwise what is the use of the court raising us?" ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, all the "Zhao Party" officials were stunned, and some of them couldn't react.

Because, Zhao Junchen's words sound too much like the remarks of Qingliu on weekdays.

They have long been accustomed to being chased behind by Qingliu and reprimanded, and after encountering things, they are also used to making big things small, compromising with each other, and solving them in the dark, and now they see that Zhao Junchen is actually going to make a big deal about punishing Guo Tang, and they are all a little at a loss when they are so righteous and righteous.

In the end, it was Huo Zhengyuan who reacted first, stroked his palm and said: "What Lord Zhao said is reasonable, this time it is we who take advantage of the reason, and it is also the prince and Qingliu who are favoritism, we have a clear conscience, why should we be afraid of them?" So it's best for us to adjust our mentality in time, this time it's not an ordinary party game, but we are maintaining the law and discipline of the imperial court, and we're not afraid of making things bigger. ”

After hearing Huo Zhengyuan's further explanation, the "Zhao Party" reacted one after another.

Moreover, they also figured out the deep meaning of Zhao Junchen's words - this incident was a great opportunity for them to hit Qingliu's reputation.

After setting the tone, everyone in the "Zhao Party" became excited again, and after saluting Zhao Junchen, they dispersed one after another and went to prepare.

Soon, a bell rang at the noon gate.

After the o'clock, Zhao Junchen and the hundred officials lined up to enter the Huangji Palace, and then Emperor Deqing arrived, and today's early dynasty finally began.

It stands to reason that the focus of the court this morning should be the matter of "Jingcha", but as soon as the court discussion began, the "princeling" and the "Zhao party" started a fight because of Guo Tang's matter, attracting everyone's targets.

With the great eunuch Zhang De's "Something to play early", the young master Guo Tang rushed out of the queue and cried loudly on the main hall.

"Your Majesty, you must be the master of the old minister!" Guo Tang's cry was extremely tragic, and he said loudly: "Since the old minister impeached Zhao Junchen, the head of the household department, yesterday morning, he was secretly retaliated by Zhao Junchen, first the old minister's brother Guo Min was arrested by Shuntianfu for no reason, and then the old man's grandson Guo Mingtai was removed from the Guozijian, and the old man went to Zhao Junchen's house to apologize according to His Majesty's will, and was deliberately humiliated by Zhao Junchen......

Speaking of this, Guo Tang's expression became more and more grief-stricken, and he kowtowed to Emperor Deqing again and again: "Your Majesty! Zhao Junchen is a person who looks down on the society, has no way in his heart, reverses the discipline outline, acts arbitrarily, and has been a traitor since the ancients, not as much as Zhao Junchen! I also hope that Your Majesty will severely punish Zhao Junchen and administer justice for the old minister! ”

Hearing Guo Tang's cry and impeachment, Emperor Deqing couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his eyes to Zhao Junchen.

He focused on the affairs of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian yesterday, and somewhat ignored the movements in the capital, and only now did he know about Guo Tang.

Therefore, Emperor Deqing's expression was a little unhappy, and he asked Zhao Junchen: "Zhao Junchen, are you really taking revenge on Young Master Guo?" I have already punished Young Master Guo, are you still not satisfied? ”

Seeing that Guo Tang was the first to come out of the list and take the initiative to impeach himself, Zhao Junchen was a little surprised.

However, Zhao Junchen thought about it and understood Guo Tang's thoughts.

If Zhao Junchen continues to retaliate against Guo Tang, it will be disobeying Emperor Deqing's decision, which is against Emperor Deqing's holy will, which will naturally cause Emperor Deqing's displeasure, and Emperor Deqing will be more biased towards Guo Tang in this matter.

In comparison, if Guo Tang impeached Shuntianfu or Guozijian, he would not have this effect.

I have to say that Guo Tang is indeed a little clever.

But compared to Guo Tang's crying and grief-stricken appearance, Zhao Junchen's expression was indifferent and calm, and after hearing Emperor Deqing's questioning, he just walked out of the queue slowly and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister does not know about Guo Shaofu's accusations, and he does not admit them!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen said again: "Guo Min's arrest is a matter of Shuntianfu, and Guo Mingtai's removal is a matter of Guozijian, the minister doesn't know why Guo Shaofu wants to involve these things on the minister's body, and there is no basis for speculation that the minister is retaliating against him, the minister, as the head of the household department, has always been only responsible for the matter of money and food, and has no control over the Shuntian Mansion, nor has the right to interfere with the Guozijian, Guo Shaofu will involve these things on the minister's body, it is really a big joke in the world, is it possible that Guo Shaofu ate a bad stomach every two days, and the minister is to blame?" ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Emperor Deqing pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Where are the Shuntian Mansion and the Guozijian?" ”

As Emperor Deqing's words fell, Yin Huo Zhengyuan of Shuntian Mansion and Li Zide, the priest of the country, stepped out of the ranks, and kowtowed: "The minister is here." ”

Emperor Deqing frowned and asked, "Is there any arrest of Guo Min, the younger brother of Guo Shaofu?" Did Guozijian remove Guo Shaofu's grandson Guo Mingtai? What exactly are these two things going on? You were instructed by Zhao Junchen? ”

Huo Zhengyuan naturally did not have stage fright at this time, and replied in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister received a report yesterday, saying that the 'Sitong Commercial Firm' in the capital was stealing taxes and silver, bullying the market, defrauding guests and other crimes, and all of them were conclusive evidence The proprietor of Sitong Commercial Bank is Guo Shaofu's brother Guo Min, and he didn't know about it until afterwards, so Shuntianfu's arrest of Guo Min was definitely not aimed at Guo Shaofu, and it had nothing to do with Lord Zhao, and I hope Your Majesty will know it! ”

Compared with Huo Zhengyuan's firm position, Guozi's priest Li Zide was hesitant.

From yesterday evening to this morning, he has been sandwiched between the crown prince Zhu and Yu and Zhao Junchen, and has been subjected to joint pressure from both sides, and now he doesn't know whether he should favor the prince Zhu and Yu or Zhao Junchen.

In the end, after Li Zide hesitated for a moment, he chose to wait and see what happened, and he was not offended, and by the way, he also cleared up his relationship and reported to Emperor Deqing: "Your Majesty, Guo Mingtai was removed from the Guozijian by the ministers who have indeed heard of it, but the affairs of Guozijian on weekdays have always been the specific responsibility of the Guozijian Cheng Hu Zhen, and the removal of Guo Mingtai is also the decision of Lord Hu, because it happened yesterday, and the ministers have not had time to understand the details. ”

Guozi Jian Jiu is from the fourth official position, so he is naturally qualified to rank in the court class, but Guozi Jian Cheng is only an eight-grade official position, and he is not qualified to participate in the court meeting, but if Hu Zhen hears Li Zide's words, he will definitely scold Li Zide for being shameless and blame himself for everything.

On the other side, after hearing Huo Zhengyuan and Li Zide's words, Emperor Deqing's face was serious, and he was about to say something more.

But at this moment, the crown prince Zhu and Yu strode out and said, "Father, about this matter, the son has something to say!" ”
