Volume 4 Chapter 27 The Son of Heaven is angry

Yuan Chonghuan is almost fine, but Wang Yongguang is almost finished.

That night, Jin Yiwei surrounded the Yangfang Hutong of Faxiangfang, and found a few Jiannu spies in the courtyard with the vermilion lacquer gate, and after a fierce fight, they all killed those spies, and then found tens of thousands of taels of silver in the courtyard.

The bodies of Baiyin and Jiannu's traitors were brought back, and Huang Chenghao, who was waiting for the results with Chongzhen, suddenly remembered that Wang Yongguang had also given him 5,000 taels of silver as a reward.

As a result, the silver was brought from Huang Chenghao's house, and the two sides were compared, and the silver ingots inside looked like they were cast from a mold, and even the box containing the silver was of the same style, which confirmed that Wang Yongguang was using the silver provided by Jiannu to buy the court officials!

When all this work is over, it will be almost early, and this night, including Chongzhen, all the people involved in this matter have not rested.

I have to say that Chongzhen is indeed a diligent emperor, sleepless for him, it is like a commonplace, he checked the corpses of Yinliang and Jiannu, and he arranged the next things carefully, then washed up, and went to the morning court.

At about a moment in the morning, when the early dynasty ended, he immediately asked Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, to summon him to the imperial study.

Wang Yongguang didn't know what was going on at this time, in the past few days, because of his meritorious work in impeaching the thief, the emperor often summoned him, and he paid more and more attention to him, so this morning, as soon as the emperor summoned him, he immediately ran over.

Chongzhen didn't let people take him down immediately at this time, and after the monarch and ministers greeted him, he also asked solemnly: "Wang Aiqing, you said, this Han Yi and Qian Longxi have fornicated with Jiannu, will Sun Chengzong and Cheng Jiming also participate in it?" ”

When Wang Yongguang heard this, his eyes lit up, this is his next goal, as long as the emperor cleans up Yuan Chonghuan, Qian Longxi and Han Yi, he will immediately launch the remnants of the eunuch party to attack Sun Chengzong and Cheng Ji, and wipe out the Donglin party members who are in power in the cabinet!

Unexpectedly, before he launched this, the emperor began to doubt, he nodded heavily and said: "The emperor is wise, the Donglin Party has a nest of snakes and rats, and everything is rushed, Han Yi and Qian Longxi fornicated to build slaves, Sun Chengzong and Cheng Jiming must not be able to get rid of it." ”

Chongzhen nodded "quite approvingly", and then asked, "Then what do you think they should do?" ”

Wang Yongguang immediately pretended to be jealous and hateful, gritted his teeth and said: "Fornication with slaves, according to the law, punish the nine clans, and the first offender will be executed by Ling Chi!" ”

Chongzhen nodded solemnly, and then said with some embarrassment: "This Han Yi is presiding over the eunuch rebellion case, and this suddenly executed him, who will take over, or you will come?" ”

Just kidding, if you force me to continue the investigation and force people to be anxious, it will be strange if people don't betray me!

Wang Yongguang hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen, this eunuch party has almost been cleaned up, it is better to settle the case and no longer implicate the innocent, so as not to panic the ministers of the DPRK and China." ”

"Hmm." Chongzhen nodded, and then asked quietly: "You often go to the Yangfang Hutong in the Birthplace, right?" ”

When Wang Yongguang heard this, his face changed, it was the yard he secretly purchased to fool around!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was actually not a big deal for officials to prostitute themselves, and there were many pretentious officials who even blatantly accepted famous prostitutes as concubines, which was not unusual.

However, some people pretend to be high-minded, looking like a decent man and a gentleman on the surface, but behind the scenes, they often prostitute Chang prostitutes.

Wang Yongguang is like this, he is clean on the surface, not close to women, but behind the scenes, he instructed his cronies and officials to be greedy for cards and collect money for him, and he also bought a yard to fool around.

Normally, he would disguise himself, follow the car, sneak there, and then ask his cronies to recruit some famous prostitutes in Qinglou for him to enjoy.

He thought that he was doing it unconsciously, but he didn't expect that such a hidden thing would be known by the emperor!

He didn't know what the emperor meant, and it stands to reason that the emperor shouldn't care much about this little thing, but who knows what the emperor thinks.

At this point, he didn't know how to answer.

Saying that he has not been there is a clear deception to the king, saying that he has been, that is admitting that he has prostituted his bed, this matter is more serious, it is also against the law, and the removal and investigation are light!

Chongzhen saw his nervous look, and even more concluded that he was fornicating with Jiannu.

This traitor, can you still pretend, when it comes to this point, he still doesn't kneel down and confess, pretend, I'll let you pretend.

Chongzhen suddenly asked again: "Wei Zhongxian is not thin on you, right?" ”

"Ahh At this time, Wang Yongguang was really shocked, the emperor's meaning was that he was a eunuch!

Chongzhen said slowly: "You are a Jinshi in the twentieth year of Wanli, and it was not until the forty-sixth year of Wanli that you were promoted to the secretary of Dali Temple in the southern capital, what is the southern capital, in addition to the household department and the military department, what do other yamen do?" After three years in the idle yamen, you should have been a scholar, but at the beginning of the apocalypse, you were actually promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, where did you get your merits? Immediately after that, you were promoted to the right capital of the imperial history, and soon you were promoted to the Ministry of Works, and then changed to the Ministry of Households, and the prince was added to the Taibao in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, he was transferred to the secretary of the military department of the Southern Capital. Without any merit, why did you get promoted, and did you get promoted so quickly in a normal way? Only by attaching to Wei Zhongxian can he be promoted in vain! ”

At this time, Wang Yongguang was already drenched in cold sweat, and the emperor already knew that he had attached himself to Wen Zhongxian, and it was over!

When Chongzhen saw his appearance, he immediately slapped the table and roared angrily: "Come on, take down this traitor who fornicated with slaves and deceived the king!" ”

"Whoosh." With two sounds, two brocade guards suddenly rushed in from outside the door, grabbed Wang Yongguang's arm and twisted it back.

Fornication and slavery!

That is to punish the nine clans, and Ling Chi will be executed, Wang Yongguang hurriedly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, you are wronged, Weichen did not fornicate with Jiannu." ”

Chongzhen glanced at him in disgust, and shouted: "Escort him down and go to death row." ”

The two brocade guards escorted him away, and Wang Yongguang howled miserably: "Your Majesty, wronged, wronged, Weichen didn't fornicate with Jiannu!" ”

At the same time, in the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Xianyifang, west of the inner city, Yuan Hongxun, Shi Wei and Gao Jie, who were also eunuchs, summoned several supervisors of the imperial history who were also eunuchs to discuss in Yuan Hongxun's study, how to frame Sun Chengzong and Cheng Ji's life, a group of brocade guards suddenly rushed in, and without saying a word, pressing them to the ground was a meal of tying.

Yuan Hongxun, Shi Kuo, Gao Jie and others shouted one after another: "What are you doing, what are you doing, what crime have we committed, Yan Guan Feng is not guilty of hearing about things, and Yan Guan Feng is not guilty of hearing about things!" ”

None of the brocade guards paid attention to them, and they shouted casually, just tied up, and dragged them outside after tying them.

At this time, a few eunuch remnants who knew each other came up to stop them: "What are you doing, is there any royal law, this is the Metropolitan Procuratorate!" ”

The Jinyi Wei Baihu who led the team glanced at them coldly, and then said sharply: "Take them all." ”

A bunch of brocade guards surrounded them and tied them up, pressing all the people who rushed up to the ground and tying them up, and finally no one dared to stop them anymore.

The brocade-clothed guards waved their hands and escorted these eunuch remnants away.

At this time, in another study, Huang Chenghao stood in front of the window, looking at the chaotic scene outside, and slowly wiped his red and swollen eyes with a wet towel dipped in cold water and said proudly: "Now you believe it, Wang Yongguang is finished, Yuan Hongxun, Shi Fu and Gao Jie are all finished, why don't you hurry up and write a memora and impeach them!" ”

Li Guangchun and Wang Jikui, who were standing beside him, arched their hands again and again: "Adults are wise, adults are wise, we will write, we will write." ”

After that, they hurried back to their study and picked up the pen and wrote wildly, what Wang Yongguang fornicated with Jiannu, what Yuan Hongxun, Shi Yuan, and Gao Jie were all eunuchs, and what Wang Yongguang vainly framed Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, etc., Huang Chenghao explained how they wrote.

At this time, the long-deserted Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Edict Prison was also lively, at first Wang Yongguang was arrested and thrown into death row, and he was still there shouting that he was wronged.

Immediately afterwards, a bunch of inspectors of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were arrested and put in an ordinary cell outside.

After entering this place, those remnants of the eunuch party also knew that they were afraid, how badly the Donglin party members were tortured after they came in, they were quite clear, and there were many Donglin party members who were still impeached by them.

The so-called cycle of heavenly reason, retribution is unpleasant, and now, it is finally their turn.

Yuan Chonghuan chatted with Zhang Bin late last night, because he was happy, he drank a little too much, and when he was sleeping in a daze, all kinds of chaotic shouts suddenly sounded in his ears.

He got up in a daze and saw that there was someone in the cell next door!

How does this sound sound familiar?

He wiped his eyes and looked carefully, it turned out to be Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry!

Zhang Bin really didn't lie to him, these remnants of the cholera dynasty were really arrested.

He got up excitedly, walked to the railing separated from Wang Yongguang, and mocked Wang Yongguang, who was shouting wrongs: "Oh, isn't this Lord Wang, why did you come in?" ”

Wang Yongguang was lying at the door of the cell and shouting outside, he didn't notice that Yuan Chonghuan came from behind, he heard the words and looked back, it turned out to be Yuan Chonghuan who he wanted to frame to death, he couldn't help but say: "Lord Yuan, you are also here!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, thanks to you eunuch remnants, I have lived here for several days." ”

Wang Yongguang dodged and said: "Lord Yuan, I'm afraid you misunderstood, I didn't impeach you." ”

Yuan Chonghuan continued to nod and said: "Yes, you didn't impeach me, you instructed others to impeach me for fornicating with Jiannu, and wanted to create a big case and wipe out the Donglin Party, so as to prevent the emperor from continuing to thoroughly investigate the eunuch party, smart, really smart." ”

When Wang Yongguang heard this, he was shocked and said: "You, don't talk nonsense, I don't." ”

Yuan Chonghuan stared at him and sneered: "Actually, it's you who really fornicated with the eunuchs, right?" ”

This is really wronged, Wang Yongguang immediately shouted: "Lord Yuan, I am wronged, I did not fornicate with the eunuchs!" ”

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he laughed and said: "Hahahahahaha, I was also wronged, and I didn't fornicate with the eunuchs, I don't know who the emperor will believe, hahahahahaha." ”

At this time, Jinyi Wei commanded Tongzhi Qi Panzong to lead two teams of Jinyi captains into the edict prison, and in the middle of the two teams of Jinyi captains there was a weak middle-aged man, this middle-aged man was wearing this gray-black clothes, and he was carrying something similar to a medicine box on his shoulder, but it was obvious that he was not a doctor, because he himself was sickly, and his eye sockets were even deeper, if you look closely at his eyes, you will find that there is a trace of sickly madness hidden in them.

Qi Panzong walked directly to the guards of the ordinary cell outside and waved the jailer aside, sat down in the position where they were originally sitting, and then beckoned a brocade-clothed captain with pen, ink, paper and inkstone to sit on his right hand, and then said loudly: "Take someone to commit Yuan Hongxun." ”

When the jailers heard this, they immediately ran to a cell, opened the cell door and escorted Yuan Hongxun, who was in handcuffs.

Yuan Hongxun was already frightened at this moment, and he shouted vigorously: "What are you doing, Yan Guan Feng is not guilty when he hears about it, and Yan Guan Feng is not guilty when he hears about it." ”

Qi Panzong stared at him coldly and shouted, "Kneel!" ”

Yuan Hongxun didn't want to kneel, but when Qi Panzong drank it like this, he knelt down as soon as his legs were weak.

Qi Panzong continued to stare at him, and said coldly: "Yuan Hongxun, are you guilty?" ”

Yuan Hongxun hurriedly defended: "What crime do I have, the rules set by the ancestors, the words and officials are not guilty." ”

Qi Panzong nodded, and said coldly: "Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division, you can interrogate, execute, and execute people by yourself, this is also the rule set by Tai Zu, come to someone, go to the torture instrument!" ”

When the thin middle-aged man heard this, he immediately walked up, put the box on the ground, opened the box, and took out the torture tools inside to display: "Skinning knife, meat slicing knife, boning knife, abdomen cutting knife, intestine cutting knife, ......." ”

Yuan Hongxun was almost frightened, and he shouted in panic: "What do you want to do? ”

Qi Panzong said coldly: "I don't want to do anything, the original executioners of the Beizhen Fusi Division were all executed for mutilating Zhongliang, and this official specially invited the executioner who was specially responsible for Ling Chi to serve you." ”

Ling Chi! Yuan Hongxun was directly frightened, and he stammered: "You, you, can't be like this, I didn't rebel, why should Ling Chi be executed!" ”

Qi Panzong said coldly: "Who said that Ling Chi would execute you, don't worry, this official specially invited the most skilled executioner, and you will not die if you cut three thousand knives." Now, the official asks you, to recruit, or not to recruit? ”

Yuan Hongxun cried and shouted: "Don't cut, don't cut, I'll move, I'll move." ”

These officials are not as hard as Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou at all, and when the torture tools are put out, they don't need to use their hands, and they are all frightened.

They think that it is nothing to recruit, because they also rely on Wei Zhongxian, impeach some officials, and accept some bribes, which is not a big crime at all, they think that according to the eunuch level set by Han Yi, they can be counted as five or six at most, and the most severe punishment is to dismiss the official, and it is even possible that the punishment will be over.

In fact, it is far from the case, Chongzhen is really angry and furious this time.

These eunuch remnants and Jiannu have all come to the capital, and they are still here for personal interests, framing Zhongliang, bullying the king, and trying to create an unjust case for themselves to get out, causing him to almost kill the loyal ministers and good generals by mistake, how can Chongzhen not be angry.

The Son of Heaven was angry, and the blood flowed!

Wang Yongguang, Ling Chi was executed, and the nine clans were exterminated!

This time, all the remnants of the eunuch party who impeached Yuan Chonghuan, Qian Longxi, and Han Yi were all decided!

Of course, Huang Chenghao, Li Guangchun and Wang Jikui, who "repented", were not counted, they have become guns in Zhang Bin's hands, and Zhang Bin naturally will not let them "sacrifice" in vain.
