Cao Huachun came in with the official assessment record of the Ministry of Officials, Huang Chenghao knew what it was, but Min Hongxue and Min Mengde didn't.

Cao Huachun didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, his steps were very light when he came in, and he went around to Chongzhen from behind Min Hongxue and Min Mengde, so when Min Hongxue and Min Mengde saw him, he had already handed the two assessment records to Chongzhen.

Although Min Hongxue and Min Mengde wanted to know what Cao Huachun was holding, they didn't dare to stretch out their heads to look at it, staring at the emperor was a great crime of disrespect, and they stretched out their necks to stare at the emperor, isn't this contempt for the emperor, they don't dare.

Chongzhen's result assessment record swung towards the dragon case, and then opened Min Hongxue's evaluation record.

Min Hongxue, the twenty-sixth year of Wanli Jinshi, the first grant of Yongcheng County, to the forty-seventh year of Wanli, served in the local area for twenty-one years, mixed with an idle post senator, unremarkable, quite normal.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, it was suddenly abnormal, he was really directly promoted to the governor of Yunnan, the right of the Imperial Palace, from the idle senator to the governor who was bigger than the political envoy.

This is nothing, he has been the governor of Yunnan for six years, and still does not have any good political achievements, and the evaluation is blank, and then, in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he was transferred back to the capital to serve as the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials.

Chongzhen couldn't help but snort coldly, the fair judgment is meritorious, what about the merit? Blank!

Then, in the second year of Chongzhen, Wang Yongguang was dismissed, and he was directly promoted to the secretary of the ministry, but he still had no political achievements.

Chongzhen remembered, he was pushed out by the Ministry of Officials, many officials in the court recommended him, and he was the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, so he didn't suspect it, and directly promoted him to the Ministry of Officials, and these remnants of the eunuch party actually united to deceive me, hum!

He didn't have a seizure immediately, but opened Min Mengde's evaluation record and continued to look.

Min Mengde was also a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, the first director of the Ministry of Works, to the forty-seventh year of Wanli, serving in the court for twenty-one years, and being released to the prefect of Zhangzhou, which was also bland and normal.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, it was suddenly abnormal again, and he was really directly promoted to the governor of Biyuan, the governor of Yushi, and the governor of Yungui, and it was not impossible to be promoted from the prefect to the governor, but he still needed political achievements, and in the same way, if he was evaluated for excellence, he could be promoted exceptionally.

Min Mengde's evaluation is indeed excellent, but the reason for the excellence is only one sentence, to be lenient as the government, and the people love it.

I don't know what kind of merit this is, but with leniency as a policy, does it mean that you don't care about anything? The people love it, why love it, there is no reason, there is no reason, just four words.

Such an inexplicable feat was promoted to governor by three levels, and then immediately promoted to governor, or the governor of Yungui, and sure enough, the two brothers were the emperor of the soil in Yungui for six years!

After Cai Fuyi died, he was promoted to the governor of the five provinces, and in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he was transferred back to the capital to serve as the right attendant of the military department because of his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion.

Then, in the second year of Chongzhen, he was recommended by the court to be the secretary of the military department, and he saw that he was the right attendant of the military department, so he did not doubt it, and directly promoted him to the secretary of the military department.

Yes, yes, you dare to play tricks on me like this.

Chongzhen suppressed the anger in his heart and asked lightly: "Min Aiqing, you have been the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou for five years, and you have been the governor of five provinces for a year?" ”

He asked Min Mengde, and Min Mengde hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Back to the emperor, yes, thanks to the grace of the first emperor." ”

Do you think my royal brother is a pig? Let you two brothers be the emperor of the soil in Yungui!

Chongzhen's forehead jumped with a blue scripture, he suppressed his anger and continued to ask: "Since the second year of the Apocalypse, Tusi An Bangyan has rebelled, and you have been fighting for six years, it's very hard, right?" ”

Min Mengde didn't know that he was exposed, so he hurriedly said modestly: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's the duty of Weichen to share worries for the emperor." ”

It's really shameless, Chongzhen pinched the evaluation record in his hand, his knuckles were white, he suppressed his anger, and continued to ask: "An Bangyan has a lot of thieves, do you remember the approximate number, how many soldiers and horses did you organize to encircle and suppress?" ”

Min Mengde knows a fart, he has never been to quell the rebellion at all, and he doesn't even know what the thief looks like, so he can only make up nonsense: "There are about more than 100,000 thieves, and Weichen organized 80,000 horses to encircle and suppress." ”

Talking nonsense, Chongzhen stood up suddenly, grabbed his evaluation record and smashed it in his face, and roared angrily: "You tell me, why did Wang Sanshan defeat and flee in Sichuan when he was able to fight in Sichuan, and as soon as he arrived in your Yungui, he was killed by the rebels?" Also, why did Lu Qin, the prime minister of the military affairs of Sichuan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, defeat himself, and how did Cai Fuyi, the governor of the five provinces, die? You also have a meritorious role in quelling the rebellion! How long has Guiyang City been besieged, 400,000 people fled into Guiyang City, soldiers and people cannibalism, and in the end there were more than 20,000 people left to eat, do you think that if you don't say it, no one will know? Why did An Bangyan turn around as soon as you arrived in Yungui? Why did you rule in Yungui for six years, and An Bangyan rebelled for six years? Why was it not until last year that the Anluxe Rebellion was put down? I sent Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces, to play in Yungui, right? After playing for three years, Ahn Bangyan committed suicide, right? ”

Min Mengde was so frightened that he trembled like chaff and collapsed directly to the ground.

Chongzhen grabbed Min Hongxue's evaluation record again, smashed him directly in the face, and roared angrily: "And you, you also have a meritorious role in quelling the rebellion?" You two brothers have been the emperor of the soil in Yungui for six years, and you still have merit in rectifying Yungui! ”

Min Hongxue also collapsed to the ground in fright, trembling all over.

Chongzhen then roared angrily: "Luo Yangxing! ”

Luo Yangxing hurriedly walked in and said, "Weichen is here." ”

Chongzhen pointed at Min Hongxue and Min Mengde and gritted his teeth and said, "Take these two traitors to the edict prison and torture them to see how many accomplices they have." ”

Luo Yangxing said yes, beckoned the four Jinyi captains to come in, and escorted Min Hongxue and Min Mengde out.

However, as soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly walked back again, with a panicked look, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Yu Hengqing, the official of the Ministry of Industry, asked them, and they ....... ”

Chongzhen shouted angrily: "What's wrong with them? ”

Luo Yangxing "stubbornly" said: "When Weichen went to arrest Min Hongxue, they happened to be guests at Min Hongxue's mansion, and Weichen didn't know how to deal with it, so he asked the emperor to make a holy judgment." ”

Chongzhen asked coldly, "How many people?" ”

Luo Yangxing hurriedly replied: "About thirty people." ”

Chongzhen asked coldly, "Are they all officials in the court?" ”

Luo Yangxing replied honestly: "Wechen only knows more than a dozen, all of them are officials in the court, and Wechen doesn't know the others." ”

Chongzhen slapped the table and roared again: "Arrest them all, throw them into the edict prison, interrogate them well, and see what they are doing in Min Hongxue's mansion!" ”

Luo Yangxing didn't dare to ask if he wanted to spy on the officials in the court at this time, the emperor was angry at this time, he hurriedly bowed his hand and obeyed the order, and then retreated quickly.

At this time, Chongzhen noticed that Huang Chenghao was still standing there trembling.

He suppressed his anger and said loudly: "Companion, plan to promote Huang Chenghao to be the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace." ”

Huang Chenghao was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately lay on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Chongzhen sat down slowly, waved his hand, and said: "This time, you did a good job, in the future, continue to monitor, if you find the remnants of the eunuch party, play it immediately, go down." ”

Huang Chenghao kowtowed again and said excitedly: "Wechen obeys the order, and Wechen retires." ”

He really didn't expect that he would be forced to take the risk of impeaching the two Shangshu, and he would be directly promoted to the deputy capital of the imperial history, and inexplicably become a member of the three grades of the imperial court!

The court officials who went to Min Hongxue and Min Mengde's mansion to give gifts didn't expect that they would be arrested and imprisoned in Jinyiwei for a New Year's greeting.

At this moment, the whole capital was in a sensation, and Min Hongxue, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Min Mengde, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were arrested at the same time, and even more than 40 officials who brought them New Year's greetings also followed!

Such a sensational event, Wen Tiren naturally knew about it, would he save Min Hongxue and Min Mengde?

Min Hongxue and Min Mengde naturally want to be saved, these two people are his cronies among his cronies, fellow villagers among his fellow villagers, and the backbone of the Zhejiang Party, if they are not saved, the entire Zhejiang Party will be cold, and no one dares to mix with him.

However, he didn't immediately go to Chongzhen to intercede, he was not a reckless person, and it was his habit to plan everything and then act.

He is good at layout, good at foreshadowing, good at introducing everyone into the game and becoming his pawn, Chongzhen is often introduced into the game by him because he is young and has little experience, and becomes his pawn, and it is also a killer move.

This layout must first of all see the overall situation, and after he received the news, he immediately sent his subordinates to follow him and inquire around for news.

As a result, the news that came out was very unfavorable to him, and Huang Chenghao, the right man of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, impeached Min Hongxue, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Min Mengde, the secretary of the Ministry of War, saying that they were the remnants of the eunuch party, Chongzhen was furious when he found out, and directly sent the two to prison!

These two people seem to be hopeless, the remnants of the eunuch party, how to save it, will Chongzhen let it go?

Of course, Wen Tiren had a way, he immediately summoned his cronies such as Yushi Shifan, the squire Tang Shiji, and the deputy capital Yushi Zhang Jie to discuss secretly, and he began to lay out.

At this time, what is Zhang Bin doing?

He is also in the layout, he is quite clear about how powerful Wen Tiren is, Chongzhen Dynasty has only been seventeen years in total, he has been the first assistant for eight years, and Chongzhen, who is suspicious by nature, can be coaxed by him, and he looks down on him, that is, looking for death.

Therefore, after Huang Chenghao's impeachment was successful, and after Min Hongxue and Min Mengde were arrested, Zhang Bin did not relax, he made a method that was very common in later generations, but not common at this time, that is, to control public opinion.

At this time, there are no computers, mobile phones, televisions, and no Internet, and just one newspaper has to be published by the Political Department, Zhang Bin has no power at all, how can he control public opinion?

He has people, not only did he bring nearly a thousand guards hidden in various parts of the capital, but there were 17 thousand households in the capital, and nearly 20,000 people were also his free propagandists.

On the night when Min Hongxue and Min Mengde were arrested, Zhang Bin recruited the propaganda committee member Luo Yangxing to Chongxing Temple, this time Luo Yangxing did not have any problems, he and Qi Panzong quietly appeared in Zhang Bin's study, Zhang Bin was still writing there, as if he didn't know he was coming.

He made a silent gesture to Qi Panzong, and then walked lightly behind Zhang Bin, and said proudly: "Shuangquan, what's the matter with being so anxious to find me?" ”

Zhang Bin shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "You, do you want to scare me, don't go so fast if you want to scare me, if you go fast, there will be wind, and the lights and shadows will flicker, can I not know that someone is approaching me?" ”

Luo Yangxing wiped his head in embarrassment, laughed dryly, and then beckoned Qi Panzong to sit aside, leading the topic and saying, "You haven't said anything about looking for me?" ”

Zhang Bin finished writing the propaganda draft, then picked up the last one and blew it a few times, and when the ink dried a little, he handed over the previous ones to Luo Yangxing, and then said lightly: "You take a look first." ”

Luo Yangxing took the manuscript papers, looked at them quickly, and after reading them, he was a little surprised: "This, isn't it a bit too exaggerated?" ”

This propaganda draft is written about Min Hongxue and Min Mengde's attachment to the eunuch party, and some places are indeed exaggerated, such as the Anxuan Rebellion in the southwest, anyway, what can be planted on these two people is all planted on them, regardless of whether they did it or not.

This is called setting a negative example, Zhang Bin taught: "When dealing with the enemy, you can't be soft-hearted, you know, behind them can stand a shameless Wen Tiren, this guy's ability to reverse black and white is not something you and I can imagine." Therefore, we can't take it lightly, we must plant these two people and can't turn over, anyway, the reason why the Southwest Luxury Rebellion has been in trouble for ten years, these two people have an unshirkable responsibility, what does it matter if there is more or less? ”

Luo Yangxing nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "How do you get this, can you write it into a notice and paste it all over the streets and alleys of the capital?" ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he fainted at the wrong point, is there such a simple and rude thing as you, can you use your brain, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Tairu, this is not a battlefield battle, most of the battles in the court are played yin, do you know?" It's best to come secretly if you don't have a black hand in front of you, you know? You wrote a notice and ordered people to post it everywhere, who wouldn't know that you brocade guards did it? ”

Luo Yangxing said embarrassedly: "I really haven't thought about this, how did it come about?" ”

Zhang Bin nodded, and gave detailed instructions: "When you go back, you immediately ask people to copy seventeen copies, send your cronies to each of your thousands of households overnight, tell them to all thousands of households, and let them publicize it tomorrow, just say that this is to prove that Jinyiwei is not doing anything like the Apocalypse Dynasty, but because these two guys are too bad, and you are eliminating harm for the people." ”

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he couldn't help but admire: "High, really high, Shuangquan, you are so powerful." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "What is this, by the way, you have to pay attention, don't publicize it near the mansion of Wen Tiren and his minions, not only don't publicize it, but also send people to inspect and prohibit others from publicizing it, we have to catch Wen Tiren off guard, you know?" ”

Luo nodded heavily: "Understood." ”

Zhang Bin immediately waved his hand and said, "Then hurry up and go back and arrange someone to copy it, it's not too early at this time." ”

Luo Yangxing got up and was about to say goodbye when he heard this, he suddenly remembered the events of the day, and couldn't help asking: "Shuangquan, when I went to Min Hongxue's mansion to arrest people today, there were many officials who went to give gifts, I want to let the emperor re-give Jinyiwei the power to supervise hundreds of officials, you say, how can I mention this matter to the emperor, and the emperor will agree?" ”

Zhang Bin rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "The emperor didn't let you supervise hundreds of officials, you can go and supervise the officials who are unfavorable to us yourself, when you need to, take out a few and make an example of chickens and monkeys, isn't it better!" ”
