Chapter 292: One Pot End
Even though Huang Liji expected it, his heart was still shocked, and he looked at Chongzhen and didn't say anything for a long time.
Chongzhen's face was indifferent, his eyes were full of killing intent, staring at Huang Liji, and said lightly: "Shoufu, don't you know that Wei Zhongxian is plotting rebellion, or are you ready to exonerate him?" ”
The emperor wants to die alone, is there still a lack of reason?
What's more, Wei Zhongxian is an unprecedented 'nine thousand nine hundred years old', and he will die without a place to be buried just by this article!
Huang Li was extremely frightened, thinking that if he wanted to liquidate the eunuch party, he might involve an unknown number of people, and he was silent for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, I don't know about Wei Zhongxian's case, but what clues are there?" ”
This sentence is to test Chongzhen, the scope, the number of people, and Chongzhen's expectations.
Chongzhen could guess Huang Liji's thoughts, leaned forward, pressed the table with both hands, stared at Huang Liji with both eyes, and said, "Do you want me to teach you how to do things?" ”
The corners of Huang Liji's face twitched, and he understood, Chongzhen was testing him, asking him to do something, or rather, if one is not good, he will be the first to be liquidated!
Huang Liji's thin face rarely showed a solemn look, and he was indifferent for a while, raised his hand, and said slowly: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Huang Liji was just about to leave, but Chongzhen said again: "Zhou Aiqing, come in." ”
Zhou Qingli came in from outside the door, raised her hand and said, "Your Majesty." ”
Chongzhen looked at Huang Liji and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Aiqing will help you, the two of you will discuss everything, and report it." Remember, the eunuch party conspires against him, and none of the party members can be let go! ”
Huang Liji listened to Chongzhen's arrangement and his murderous words, his heart was extremely heavy, and he said again: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Zhou Qingli couldn't see any emotion on her dark face, and then raised her hand to leave.
Zhu Youzhen looked at the backs of the two, waited for them to step out of the threshold, and then turned his head sideways and said to Wang Chengen: "Pass on Luo's cultivation to see me." ”
"Yes." Wang Chengen's tone was unfazed.
Huang Liji and Zhou Qingli left the Qianqing Palace, Huang Liji glanced at Zhou Qingli, was silent for a while, and said, "You come to the cabinet with me." ”
Zhou Qingli naturally didn't say anything, and the two of them arrived at the cabinet one after the other.
In Huang Liji's class room, Zhou Qingli stood in front of him.
Neither of them spoke immediately, and the room was quiet, and a pin drop could be heard.
Huang Liji raised his head slightly, looked at Zhou Qingli, and said, "Do you have a list in your hand?" ”
Zhou Qingli said: "Yes." ”
"Who are they?" Huang Li Ji said.
"Does Yuanfu want to see the list, or do you want to dictate to the officials?" Zhou Qingli said.
"Say a few important ones." Huang Li Ji said.
"Wei Liangqing, Hou Guoxing, Li Chaoqin, Liu Ruoyu, Li Yongzhen, Wang Tiqian, Liang Menghuan, Ni Wenhuan, Tian Ji, Zhou Yingqiu, Wu Chunfu, Cao Qincheng, Li Chengzuo, Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Cui Yingyuan, Cui Chengxiu, Yang Huan, Sun Yuanhe......"
Zhou Qingli counted the treasures and named them one by one. Even without Huang Liji, Feng Quan and the like, Huang Liji's face was still very ugly, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching.
Needless to say, Wei Liangqing, Hou Guoxing and others, Li Chaoqin, Liu Ruoyu and others are internal supervisors and Wei Zhongxian's sworn friends, Zhou Yingqiu, Wu Chunfu and others don't need to be said, but Li Chengzuo in it is the Marquis of Fengcheng, and Zhou Li, the commander of the horse, and even, the name of the prince of Shu appears in it!
If so many people are arrested, he Huang Liji doesn't know how many people will be poked in the backbone, and the government and the opposition will definitely be boiling!
Huang Liji's thin face was gloomy, and he said for a while: "This is the full list?" ”
Zhou Qingli raised her hand to Huang Liji and did not speak.
The corner of Huang Liji's eyes twitched again, and he understood, this is just the first step!
Immediately he closed his eyes, and there was a look of pain on his face.
Zhou Qingli stood in front of him and didn't speak, he knew that this person was the most difficult now.
There is an emperor above, and there is a eunuch party below, no matter what he does, he is not a human being inside and out.
At the same time, Zhou Qingli also knew very well in his heart that on the emperor's list of rebels, there was also the name of Huang Liji!
I don't know how long it took, Huang Liji opened his eyes slowly, looked at Zhou Qingli and said: "Don't use Jinyiwei and Dongchang, I'll let the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department listen to your dispatch, if you want to arrest someone, you can just arrest it directly, you don't need to report to me." ”
Zhou Qingli could see that this Yuan Fu seemed to be a lot older all of a sudden, and said with an impassive expression: "Is Yuan Fu handed over to the lower officials to deal with it with full authority?" ”
Huang Liji frowned, and then said: "Major matters, you still have to report to me, don't wait for arbitrariness." ”
Zhou Qingli raised his hand without moving, and said, "Your Majesty obeys the order." ”
Huang Liji's eyes suddenly sharpened, stared at Zhou Qingli and said, "I don't care what the emperor is thinking, you have to understand in your heart!" ”
What do you understand, Huang Liji didn't say it thoroughly.
But Zhou Qingli understood, paused, and said, "If the lower official can choose, why use Yuanfu to speak." ”
Huang Liji's brows tightened, Zhou Qingli's words were right, but he still wanted to shirk it.
Huang Liji exhaled deeply and said: "Arresting so many people at once will inevitably shake the government and the opposition, and it is very likely that a new round of party struggle will be set off, will you win?" Or do you want to be on your own? Now that you've stepped in, it's hard to get out! ”
"Yuanfu, if you can, why do you bother to talk so much to your subordinates." Zhou Qingli said as usual.
This matter is not decided by him, everything behind it is controlled by the emperor, who to arrest, how much, and when to arrest, all of which are not up to Zhou Qingli, nor Huang Liji, or even anyone!
Huang Liji's eyebrows were full of irritability, and he said: "The people on the list are divided into ten batches, and they are not allowed to be caught within a month. ”
Zhou Qingli looked at Huang Liji and sighed in his heart, whether it was Huang Liji's authority as his first assistant or self-preservation, he would only anger the emperor and usher in a more severe thunderbolt.
Zhou Qingli didn't persuade anything, raised his hand and said, "The lower officials obey the order." ”
Huang Liji didn't speak again, his eyes were closed, and there was a faint look of pain on his thin face.
Zhou Qingli got out of the cabinet and went straight to Cao Yubian, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the two yamen worked together to arrest people.
The first wave of arrests was the so-called 'Five Biao' of Wu Chunfu, Cui Yingyuan and others, and then the so-called 'Ten Dogs' of Zhou Yingqiu and others.
Wu Chunfu and Zhou Yingqiu gathered on Huang Liji's mansion, and Zhou Qingli led people to directly surround Huang Mansion.
Wu Chunfu, Cui Yingyuan, Zhou Yingqiu and others had different expressions, standing in front of the main hall of the Huang Mansion, looking at the closed door from afar.
Cui Yingyuan suddenly sneered and said, "Yuanfu went this time, and he actually asked the emperor to arrest us." ”
He spoke, but no one answered, and if they went out, they would go to the prison, and they would never get out!
After a long time, Wu Chunfu lost his previous frivolity, turned to Zhou Yingqiu and the others, and said, "There are so many of us, can Zhou Qingli really dare to catch it?" ”
Sun Yuanhe glanced at him and said, "He came with a holy order, and even Yuanfu's mansion dared to besiege it, what does this mean?" ”
Before anyone could answer him, the closed door of the Huang Mansion was suddenly knocked open, and Ye Xiao walked in with a large stride.
Ye Xiao came in arrogantly and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't struggle, I'm here to arrest you, Qiao Shangshu has already taken someone to raid your home......
