Volume 7 Chapter 69
During this time, Chongzhen felt very good, officials at all levels were working diligently, the various expenditures of the imperial court were also greatly reduced, and even, the treasury could occasionally have some "surpluses", the thieves in the northwest were almost wiped out, and the Jiannu in Liaodong were also frightened by the imperial army to "flee from the wind", the court can be described as thriving, and the Ming Dynasty finally showed the "posture of Zhongxing"!
He believes that this is a good situation created under his wise leadership, but as everyone knows, this is just an illusion, this is entirely because the cronies secretly cultivated by Wen Tiren were inexplicably purged by others, and he was vigilant, and specially warned his subordinates to temporarily restrain themselves and pretend to be diligent and honest to Chongzhen, so as to win Chongzhen's favor and tide over this crisis.
Wen Tiren's henchmen are not really reforming and returning to the right, they are ready to be honest and honest from now on, and they are just temporarily forbearing, Wen Tiren's purpose is not some bullshit "Zhongxing Daming", he just wants to cover the sky with one hand and do whatever he wants!
Therefore, during this time, his feeling was the opposite of Chongzhen, he felt very bad, he couldn't find the forces hidden against him in secret, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was still under the control of "others", so it was strange that he was in a good mood.
He even had a faint sense of crisis, feeling that the "dynasty" he had built was about to collapse.
This time Wang Yingxiong's incident proves that the forces in the secret are very terrifying, and they can even mobilize Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers to help Li Guangchun "besiege" the Chongqing prefect's yamen, such an opponent is simply desperate.
Of course, he is not the kind of person who easily admits defeat, he even wants to take this opportunity to win a hand, and strive to pull down Huang Chenghao, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then "encircle and suppress" Cao Xuan, the head of the household, and then uproot the forces in the dark and wipe them all out, so as to unify the court and cover the sky with one hand!
Wen Tiren and Zhang Bin, one in the light and the other in the dark, shot one after another, and a fierce power struggle above the Ming Dynasty began.
On this day, the sky was clear, the sun was high, and the person who was shining was warm, but Wen Tiren felt a haze in his heart, he did not go back to his study after coming out of Wang Yingxiong's study, but took the fold, and slowly walked towards the Qianqing Palace step by step, he was going to take the opportunity to launch an offensive against Huang Chenghao, how would the opponent take the move, or how to counterattack?
Chongzhen didn't know that a storm was coming, but he was still diligently reviewing this piece in the imperial study, dreaming of the lord of Zhongxing.
Suddenly, Cao Huachun outside said loudly: "Your Majesty, Lord Wen, the first assistant of the cabinet, asks to see you." ”
Once this person is in a good mood, he will think about the good side of everything he encounters, this Wen Tiren seems to be really good, he never forms a party for personal gain, and thinks about himself wholeheartedly, Chongzhen put down the fold in his hand, and said softly in a rare tone: "Please let him in." ”
Soon, Wen Tiren walked in respectfully with a piece of music, and after the monarch and the ministers saluted, Chongzhen asked with great interest: "Changqing, what's wrong, do you have any good news to tell me?" ”
This tone, I'm in a good mood, and it seems that I came at the right time.
Wen Tiren immediately pretended to be worried about the country and the people, and sighed: "Alas, the emperor, Weichen is ashamed, this time I am afraid that I will make you unhappy again." ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he still smiled and said: "It seems that I guessed wrong, how can things in this world be as good as expected, let's say, what's the matter?" ”
Wen Tiren pretended to be helpless again, holding the fold in both hands and handing it to Chongzhen, and added oil and vinegar to his mouth: "This capital procuratorate is becoming more and more disagreeable, and some people have begun to be proud of their merits, and they don't take the court seriously anymore!" ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he solemnly took the fold, opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly became gloomy, he spread the fold on the table, and said angrily: "This Li Guangchun, it's too unusual, is there such a thing!" ”
Wen Tiren pretended to help Li Guangchun exonerate and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know, there is another secret in this matter, and Li Guangchun has no choice but to do it." ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Secret? What's the secret? ”
Wen Tiren saw that Chongzhen had aroused his curiosity, and immediately flickered: "Wechen heard that Huang Chenghao, the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Inspectorate, intends to take the position of the secretary of the ministry and cultivate his own power, some time ago he was still looking for evidence of Wang Yingxiong's corruption everywhere, this time he sent people to Wang Yingxiong's hometown to make a big move, and also made people spread rumors everywhere that Wang Weizhang and Chen Yaoyan are Wang Yingxiong's cronies, Weichen is foolish, this Huang Chenghao is estimated to be unable to fabricate evidence of Wang Yingxiong's corruption, so he wants to start with his relatives, slandered Wang Yingxiong for conniving at his family, causing disaster to the township! ”
What he said was simply reversing black and white, but Chongzhen's suspicion was aroused, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say coldly: "Oh, really? ”
Wen Tiren pretended to be vague and said: "These micro-ministers have only heard about it, Huang Chenghao's collection of evidence of Wang Yingxiong's so-called corruption is almost known to everyone in the court, and it is difficult for Weichen to know it!" ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hmph, a little power swells, he wants to form a party for personal gain, and do whatever he wants, right?" ”
Of course, Wen Tiren understood Chongzhen's temperament, he didn't catch Huang Chenghao in front of Chongzhen, but continued to fool: "It's really hard to say whether Huang Chenghao is inflated or not, but this Qin Liangyu is obviously a little inflated, she relied on her own meritorious deeds to be lawless, and helped Li Guangchun besiege the Chongqing Prefect's Yamen, she may want to take the opportunity to curry favor with Huang Chenghao, but this method is really a bit too arrogant, this is obviously not taking the court in her eyes." ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he snorted coldly again: "This Qin Liangyu, I thought she was a heroine among women and a heroine, but I didn't expect that she would dare to act so recklessly, it seems that this toast should be well managed." ”
Off topic, you know? What kind of toast is governed, it's my business!
Wen Tiren hurriedly guided: "Your Majesty, Weichen is courageous, the governance of this Tusi is not an overnight thing, and it is not in a hurry, but this Metropolitan Procuratorate shoulders the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, if it becomes a tool for people with intentions to form a party and run a private business, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he was really fooled, he thought for a while with a gloomy face, and then waved his hand: "Okay, I know, you go down first." ”
This expression is clearly a prelude to going crazy, Wen Tiren smiled in his heart, and respectfully withdrew.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked out of the door of the imperial study, he hadn't walked a few steps when Chongzhen's roar came from behind: "It is rumored that Huang Chenghao has come to meet him!" ”
Wen Tiren listened, not only was he not afraid, but said proudly: "Hehe, Huang Chenghao, you kid dare to fight with me, this time, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die." ”
Will Huang Chenghao know his way?
Of course not, with Zhang Bin covering, Huang Chenghao will not only not die, but will not even lose a single hair.
Zhang Bin had already instructed Cao Huachun to secretly help Huang Chenghao, so when Wen Tiren went in to sue the black, Cao Huachun pointed his ears and listened to Wen Tiren's conspiracy clearly, as soon as Chongzhen's roar came out, he immediately glanced at the cronies and eunuchs on both sides, signaled them to take a good look, and then hurried back to his study, ordered someone to summon Fang Zhenghua, and whispered in his ear to explain, and then hurriedly returned to the outside of the imperial study.
The yamen of this capital procuratorate is a little far from the imperial city, so Huang Chenghao didn't hurry over until nearly two quarters of an hour later, but he didn't come barehanded, he still held a large stack of official documents in his hand, and he didn't know what was written on it.
Chongzhen was also a little curious when he saw him come in with so many things, but at this time, he didn't have much interest in these anymore, he just wanted to know if Huang Chenghao was really forming a party for personal gain. ”
Huang Chenghao replied honestly: "Yes, Your Majesty, Feng Yuanbiao reported Wang Yingxiong's corruption to Weichen in the case of the former Like right, and Weichen went to investigate. ”
Chongzhen continued to ask coldly, "What is the result?" ”
Huang Chenghao still replied honestly: "This, because a long time has passed, Zhang Zhengchen and Fan Shutai have been dismissed and reduced in the original impeachment of Wang Yingxiong, and Feng Yuanbiao has also been demoted to Jinling in the former Ministry of Rites, so the progress of the Weichen investigation is not much. ”
Sure enough, if you can't find evidence of his corruption, you send Li Guangchun to investigate his family, it's shameless!
Chongzhen clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you send Li Chunguang to Chongqing Mansion to inspect?" ”
He thought that when he asked Huang Chenghao like this, he should be panicked because the conspiracy was exposed, but he never thought that Huang Chenghao did not have a panicked expression, and still said honestly: "Yes, the emperor, Weichen heard that the former head of the household department, Bi Ziyan Bi, was really angry because of the former subordinate Ni Sihui, the former left attendant of the southern capital household department, was teamed up with Wang Yingxiong's brother Wang Yingxi, the governor of Sichuan, Wang Weizhang, and Chen Yaoyan, the prefect of Chongqing, to cause his wife to be separated, his family was ruined, his sojourn was ruined, and he was extremely miserable. Therefore, he sent Li Chunguang, the imperial historian of Zuo Yandu, to Chongqing Mansion to investigate the matter. ”
"Ahh There is such a thing, Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Is there really such a thing?" ”
Huang Chenghao said indignantly: "Back to the emperor, this matter is indeed true, Sichuan Governor Wang Weizhang and Chongqing Governor Chen Yaoyan teamed up with Wang Yingxi to run rampant in the township, forcibly seized, lawless, arrogant, Li Guangchun went to investigate the case, Chen Yaoyan not only rudely obstructed, but also sent someone to assassinate him, if it weren't for Qin Liangyu General Qin happened to be in Ba County and rescued him, Li Chunguang might have died in Huangquan at this time. ”
This, this situation seems to be a little wrong, Chongzhen looked at the folds on the table, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, Chen Yaoyan dares to be so bold!" ”
When Huang Chenghao heard this, he looked left and right in embarrassment, and then simply lay on the ground, put the official document in his hand in front of him, flipped it over, turned out a piece of letter paper, and then held it with both hands, respectfully handed it to Chongzhen, and said angrily: "This is the letter written by Li Guangchun at that time, please take a look at it." ”
Chongzhen took the letter paper, looked at it carefully, and then looked at the folds on the table in disbelief, and was instantly stunned, this, what the two groups of people said is not right at all, who is true and who is false?
Huang Chenghao saw Chongzhen stunned and hesitated, and then he fell on the ground and flipped through for a while, turned out a few pages of official documents, and then held his hands and handed them to Chongzhen respectfully, and then said angrily: "This is the record of Wang Weizhang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he ignored the serious drought during the governor of Xining, expropriated and expropriated violently, and filled his pockets, so that the people revolted, Cao Yubian Cao was angry and dismissed him from his post and investigated, but after Lord Cao sent his official service, Tang Shiji, Zhang Jie, and Wang Yingxiong immediately jointly recommended Wang Weizhang and asked him to return to governor Sichuan, so, Wang Weizhang is grateful to Wang Yingxiong, and he seems to have become Wang Yingxiong's private party! ”
When Chongzhen heard this, his face changed, this governor was appointed by him personally, could it be that Wang Weizhang is really such a corrupt official?
He took the official document and took a closer look, it was really like this, there were review records on it, and there was also an official document signed by Cao Yubian himself, Cao Yubian had already been sent to the official at this time, Huang Chenghao could not suddenly make a fake to fool him, it seems that this Wang Weizhang is really a corrupt official!
He thought about it carefully, indeed, Wang Weizhang was appointed as the governor of Sichuan by Tang Shiji, who was the left capital of the Imperial Court at the time, and Zhang Jie, who was the right deputy capital of the Imperial History of the Imperial Court at the time, and Wang Yingxiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, jointly recommended to him, and now Tang Shiji has committed suicide for abuse of power, personal vendetta in the communiqué, framing Zhongliang, and committing suicide in fear of crime, Zhang Jie also committed suicide because of serious corruption and fear of crime, will this Wang Yingxiong be a good person?
Thinking of this, Chongzhen's face couldn't help but become extremely blue, the so-called "things gather by like, people by groups", two of the three people have problems, and the remaining Wang Yingxiong is very likely to have problems, they actually joined forces to deceive me, and let me use a corrupt official to patrol Sichuan!
Huang Chenghao looked at Chongzhen's face, simply picked up all the official documents on the ground, respectfully handed them to Chongzhen, and said: "Li Guangchun has found out that Wang Yingxiong's brother Wang Yingxi, in order to rob the family property of Ni Sihui, the left servant of the former Nandu Household Department, instructed Wang Weizhang, the governor of Sichuan, and Chen Yaoyan, the prefect of Chongqing, to frame Ni Tianhe, the son of Ni Sihui, and put him in prison on fabricated charges, so that Ni Sihui's wife died of anger, poor Ni Sihui is nearly seventy years old, living in a broken temple, hungry and cold, suffering hardship, and asking Li Guangchun to go a little later, I'm afraid this old squire is going to freeze to death and starve to death in the ruined temple! In addition, the case of Ni Sihui and Ni Tianhe, father and son, is not an isolated case, just Li Guangchun found out, Wang Yingxi, Sichuan governor Wang Weizhang, and Chongqing prefect Chen Yaoyan joined forces to frame and frame them, and there were 12 squires who took away their family property, and all of them were put into prison by Chen Yaoyan without exception, which was extremely miserable. ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth, Lang Lang, Zhao Zhao Sun and Moon, Da Ming under his governance, there would be such a wicked person!
He took the official document in Huang Chenghao's hand and looked at it carefully page by page.
After Li Guangchun sorted them out, he asked Qin Liangyu to send people directly to Hanzhong, then to Shaanxi, and then to Shanxi, all the way to the capital for 800 miles, these places are now under the control of Zhang Bin's cronies, but there is no problem, if you take other routes, such a large stack of official documents, it is difficult not to attract people's attention, if it is intercepted by Wen Tiren's henchmen, then Li Guangchun will be busy in vain.
Fortunately, Li Guangchun did not work in vain, and the charges that had been polished by him at this time had been sent to Chongzhen, and Chongzhen was already angry.
