Chapter 189: You Go to Jail
The victory of Ning Jin in the first battle had a huge impact on Daming.
The government and the opposition, who were originally worried about Liaodong, seemed to be completely relieved and determined that the Ningjin line was as stable as Mount Tai, and there was no need to worry too much.
Now the debate is no longer about how to hold Liaodong, but about fighting for the fruits of victory in the battle of Liaodong.
The list of meritorious soldiers sent by Liaodong was almost put aside!
Although the imperial court did not make a final decision, some rough outlines of the rewards were already outlined.
Wei Zhongxian is the first merit, not to mention other rewards, there are two things that are particularly eye-catching, one is to give 20,000 hectares of farmland, and the other is to enjoy the temple.
Zhuang Tian is okay to say, but 'worthy of the Taimiao' is different, where can there be eunuchs who can enjoy the Taimiao?
This naturally provoked a huge backlash from the clear stream, but it could not be stopped.
Now calling Wei Zhongxian is no longer a Wei eunuch, but 'Wei Gong', the real 'Wei Gong'!
The people of the Wei family, there are eight people who are named uncles in one breath, and two who have been promoted to 'gong', which is extremely prominent!
As for the rest of the eunuch party, the rewards are naturally countless, with all kinds of names added, and a bunch of princes and princesses are unprecedented.
There are also some things worth noting that in order to snatch credit, some people tried their best to compress the military exploits of Yuan Chonghuan and others, for example, Yuan Chonghuan only got a 'left squire rank of the military department', which is considered to be promoted by one level, and nothing else.
Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and others were originally deputy commanders, but now they are only promoted to commanders, plus some rewards, which are completely incomparable with the last time!
Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhou Zheng's class room.
Zhou Zheng listened to Yao Tongshun's reports one after another, didn't say anything, looked at him and said, "Have I been scheduled to go to court recently?" ”
The supervision of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it stands to reason that it can be the turn of the upper court once a month or so.
Yao Tong said: "Adults will be scheduled for holidays, and the new schedule should be sent over tomorrow, so I have to ask Hu Yushi specifically." ”
Zhou Zheng was still thinking about Zhou Yingqiu's proposal in his heart, and said: "If there is any movement in the government and the opposition, especially about the important town of the Nine Sides, tell me as soon as possible." ”
"Yes." Yao Tong complied, and then said: "My lord, the governor of Liaodong and others are expected to arrive in Beijing on the 14th, and I heard that many people came this time, large and small, there are forty or fifty people. ”
Zhou Zheng frowned, and said with some surprise: "So many people? ”
Yao Tong said: "They are all here to receive rewards." ”
Zhou Zheng couldn't help laughing, Yuan Chonghuan and the others were afraid that they thought that the reward would be as rich as last time, but they were destined to be disappointed.
However, this did no harm to the situation in Liaodong, and the resentment of the border generals against the imperial court accumulated day by day.
Zhou Zheng had no feelings for Yuan Chonghuan, but Man Gui was a good person, thought about it, and said, "When I arrive in Beijing, ask where they live." ”
Yao Tongshun glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "Yes." ”
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and continued to do his thing.
He just sat in the class room, and the supervision of the imperial history was to some extent useless, just a seal.
When it was time to get off work, I wanted to talk to Hu Qingzheng, but Hu Qingzheng left in a hurry and didn't give Zhou Zheng a chance.
Zhou Zheng continued to walk around Zhouji and Jiujiang Pavilion, and then returned home.
After another two days, Zhou Zheng suddenly felt a little strange about the movement of the DPRK situation.
That is, Li Guopu's impeachment of Wei Zhongxian did not cause a backlash from Wei Zhongxian, and it seems that some people saw a certain wind direction and joined the impeachment team, and the momentum gradually became a little bigger.
Zhou Zheng was sitting in the class room with a strange expression.
The Donglin Party was almost uprooted, Qingliu died down, and no one dared to openly impeach Wei Zhongxian for some time.
It's just that this Li Guopu, when he won a big victory in Liaodong, Wei Zhongxian won the merit, and his reputation was unprecedented, he stood up for impeachment, and many days have passed, and he is unexpectedly safe!
Jin Yiwei, Dongchang, did not move at all, and even the voice of the rebuttal in the book was very small.
"It's weird, it's unreasonable......"
Zhou Zheng muttered to himself, his expression a little puzzled.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian should not tolerate any noise, and if someone jumps out, shouldn't he suppress and extinguish it as soon as possible?
Zhou Zheng couldn't figure it out, got up and left the class room, and entered Hu Qingzheng's class room.
The two sat down at the small table on the side, Hu Qingzheng looked dejected, and said, "You know everything, right?" ”
Zhou Zheng knew the meaning of his words, and said: "The movement caused by Li Zhan's matter is not small. ”
Li Guopu impeached Wei Zhongxian and it was okay, some people were very quiet and thought about it, and followed the book, the movement was not big, but it was not small.
Hu Qingzheng looked at Zhou Zheng, sighed, and said, "There's no way, I have to follow the book." ”
Zhou Zheng looked at Hu Qingzheng and asked, "What I'm curious about is, why is Li Zhan okay?" The eunuchs did not move at all. ”
Hu Qingzheng frowned, seemed to be a little puzzled, and then said: "What I mean when I listen to them is that the emperor seems to be a little dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian, and occasionally says something. ”
Apocalypse is dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian?
Zhou Zheng's expression moved, but he was still puzzled.
Even if Tianqi really expressed his dissatisfaction with Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian would not be jealous of this and was indifferent to Li Guopu's impeachment.
Could it be that it was a time to lure the snake out of the hole, deliberately forbearing, opening a big net and waiting for more people to jump in?
Zhou Zheng leaned towards this speculation, looked at Hu Qingzheng and said, "You plan to follow the book and impeach Wei Zhongxian?" ”
Hu Qingzheng's expression was very uncomfortable, he struggled for a while, looked at Zhou Zheng and blinked, and nodded.
Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to impeach Zhou Yingqiu in a book, and impeach Wei Zhongxian by the way." ”
Zhou Zheng originally didn't plan to touch Wei Zhongxian, he calculated the time in his heart, if he planned well, maybe he could do it in one step!
Hu Qingzheng looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Why did you impeach Wei Zhongxian?" ”
Zhou Zhengdao: "I want to stop Zhou Yingqiu from dismantling the other eight towns." ”
Hu Qingzheng's heart suddenly moved, and said, "Then I will impeach with you?" ”
If Zhou Zheng is tied together, not only will the danger be reduced, but he will also be able to explain to Li Guopu.
Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "If you are with me, it will be the impeachment of the eunuch party in Zhejiang Province, and you will be the first to be unlucky." ”
Hu Qingzheng suddenly realized his identity, and his fat face was tangled as if he was constipated.
Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly and said, "You have a tiger in front and a wolf in the back, there is no way out, resign." ”
Hu Qingzheng looked at Zhou Zheng with a resentful look again, if he was willing, he would have resigned a long time ago.
Zhou Zheng didn't say much to him, Hu Qingzheng couldn't find any news here, so he had to find another way.
"By the way, when will I go to court?" Before Zhou Zheng left, he suddenly asked.
Hu Qingzheng thought for a while and said, "July 15, it's set above." ”
Ghost Festival?
Zhou Zheng was a little surprised by this time arrangement, because this court meeting was a reward for the generals of Liaodong, and it was the most important court meeting in recent times.
Some people rushed to get on such a good opportunity, why did the above name him?
Zhou Zheng didn't ask much, waited for the bell of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to get off work, and got off work as usual. Now the other imperial histories of Zhejiang Province are very unfamiliar with Zhou Zheng, there is no politeness, and they are not alienated, basically nodding friends.
Zhou Zheng wanted to go back to his house directly, but he didn't go far from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, He Qishou suddenly found Zhou Zheng and said with a wry smile: "Zhou Gongzi, go and persuade the owner." ”
Zhou Zheng was stunned and said, "What's wrong with Old Wei?" ”
He Qishou glanced at the people around him and said, "Let's talk while walking." ”
Zhou Zheng nodded, and the two walked towards Wei Xizhuang's teahouse, and at the same time, Zhou Zheng also learned about Wei Xizhuang from He Qishou's mouth.
"You mean, Lao Wei was kicked out of the Chitose Mansion? Abandon all official positions? Why, what happened? Zhou Zheng was a little surprised. Wei Xizhuang is also Wei Zhongxian's grandson, according to Wei Zhongxian's character of protecting his shortcomings, he was driven out of the Wei family, and Wei Xizhuang's matter should not be small.
He Qishou said: "There is nothing else, that is, the owner refused to be the uncle, the nine thousand years old was furious, and the others added oil and vinegar, and the owner was driven out." ”
Zhou Zheng understood, strode towards the teahouse, and said, "It's not enough." ”
He Qishou didn't know what Zhou Zheng meant by this, so he hurriedly followed.
When he arrived at the teahouse, Wei Xizhuang rarely drank wine one by one, borrowing wine to drown his sorrows.
Seeing Zhou Zheng coming in, the corners of his mouth moved, and he continued to drink with his head down.
"You're complaining about me." Zhou Zheng sat down across from him and went straight in.
Wei Xizhuang didn't look up, and poured wine to himself.
Zhou Zheng looked at him with a fine face, and he shouldn't have drunk much, so he said, "You go in." ”
Wei Xizhuang paused the wine glass to his lips, raised his head and said, "Where to go?" ”
Zhou Zhengdao: "If you enter the Imperial Prison, I will release a rumor outside and say that because you dislike the eunuchs, you spoke up in front of Wei Zhongxian, and you were imprisoned in the Imperial Prison by him, ready to be executed." ”
Wei Xizhuang was stunned, but his mind was clear, he quickly turned around, looked at Zhou Zheng with a strange look, and said, "Are you sure that nine thousand years old will fall?" ”
Now Wei Zhongxian is in full swing, and everyone in the world is called 'only know the Duke of Wei, but not the emperor', from the cabinet to the six ministries, and then to how many feudal officials, they are all eunuchs, and even Yuan Chonghuan, a frontier marshal, congratulates him on his birthday and praises his merits.
Where is the sign that such a power is about to fall?
Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "I've told you all the truth, anyway, it's the end of the year." What if you don't have that title, the Zhou family's Yaxing now has hundreds of thousands of taels of family assets, even if you are kicked out of the Wei family and removed from all official positions, can I still embezzle your share? ”
Wei Xizhuang is not worried about this, it's just, it's just that it's a title, a title sent to his mouth!
Zhou Zheng knew that he was extremely unwilling, and said: "Hundreds of thousands of family assets, enough for you to buy how much land, how many wives and concubines to take?" You can bless as many descendants as you want. Besides, if Wei Zhongxian really doesn't fall in the future, you go back and admit your mistake, even if you don't have a title, glory and wealth are still indispensable to you. ”
Wei Xizhuang listened to Zhou Zheng's words and drank silently.
"Go ahead, hide, anyway, there are your people in it, it's good to eat and drink, and it won't save trouble." Zhou Zheng looked at him and said.
Wei Xizhuang was unwilling, and regretted listening to Zhou Zheng's words very much, and now Zhou Zheng persuaded him to go to prison, which made him even more uncomfortable.
If he wasn't sure that Zhou Zheng didn't have bad intentions towards him, he couldn't have killed Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng also knew that he was talking a little too much now, but this was saving Wei Xizhuang's life, so he didn't care so much, and said in a deep voice: "This matter, you have to listen to me no matter what!" ”
