Volume VIII Chapter 178 Taking a Stand
Huang Chenghao and Zou Weilian didn't know what Zhang Bin called them to the edict prison for, but they all knew that Luo Yangxing and Qi Panzong were their own people, and with these two people, it should be impossible for them to be arrested in the edict prison, so everyone relaxed and just stood at the gate of the edict and chatted.
Zhang Bin seemed to be waiting for someone, he didn't rush to say the purpose of calling everyone over, until Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, who lived in Chongxing Temple, came over, Zhang Bin waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go in and see Lord Li and Lord Wang together." ”
When everyone heard this, they were all secretly surprised, Li Guangchun and Wang Jikui were both sent to the edict prison by the emperor, and everyone knows this, maybe they came here to visit these two They also had this idea before they came, but after they arrived here, they didn't have this idea, because there are too many people, Zhang Bin summoned almost all the Tongji who were above the third grade, and there were more than ten people in total, and they went to the edict prison to visit together, is it in order?
This is an edict prison, not a prison of the Criminal Department, and even if it is a prison of the Criminal Department, it is unlikely that so many people will be allowed to go in and visit together!
Luo Yangxing and Qi Panzong didn't say anything, as soon as Zhang Bin spoke, they turned around and walked towards the gate, which means that they want to take everyone in, and the others are so strange in their hearts, the emperor wants to know that they brought so many people to visit the edict, won't they blame them?
The answer was revealed immediately, and as soon as Luo Yangxing walked to the steps of the gate, he coaxed and said to the neat commanders and thousands of households on both sides: "Watch here, don't let anyone in, the emperor won't let you in, you know?" ”
Fuck, what's wrong with this guy, if you don't add the next sentence, you'll die, this is simply a big rebellion, the world is so big, where can't the emperor enter, besides, how can the emperor come to the edict so late, what do you say The emperor won't let in, don't take off your pants and fart, is it too much!
Everyone present, except for Zhang Bin, was almost stunned, but they didn't expect that those commanders and thousands of households were not only not surprised, but instead said in unison as if nothing had happened: "Obey." ”
This means, if the emperor really comes, they really dare to stop it!
Jinyiwei is the emperor's pro-army, not only does he not help the emperor, but he also stops the emperor, are these guys caught in the door or what's wrong!
Zhang Bin didn't think there was anything wrong, he beckoned the two teams of guards to open the way left and right, and then beckoned everyone to go inside.
This road was heavily guarded, almost every ten steps or so, there were two brocade guards standing opposite each other, so many people guarded, it is estimated that even a fly could not fly in, but these brocade guards saw that their group was standing there like a stake, and no one came forward to inquire, let alone stop them, they just kept walking in, all the way in, until they reached the "luxury room" dedicated to guarding felons.
Li Guangchun and Wang Jikui will live in two adjacent single rooms, and they don't sleep, because they are flustered, no matter which official, if he is sent to the edict, he can still calm down and abnormal, either he is scared stupid, or his brain is abnormal, how can normal people not be afraid.
However, when they came in, there was no legendary torture to serve, not even the one who interrogated them, they were locked up in it, and no one paid any attention to them.
At this time, they can be described as fifteen buckets of water in their hearts, seven up and eight down, let alone sleeping, and they can't even sit still.
Just as they were worried and thinking wildly, there was a sudden noise of footsteps outside, as if there were many people coming.
Is this going to be interrogated?
They had heard of the interrogation at night, and it seemed that they could not escape, they looked at each other, and their faces showed expressions of horror and despair, the punishment of the edict was notoriously cruel, and they did not know how long they could endure.
However, when they saw the group of people coming in through the dim light, they were all stunned, it turned out to be Lord Zhang, the prince and the prince, and Lord Yu Shi Huang of Zuodu, as well as Lord Cai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Zou, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and so on.
This guy, there are three cabinet scholars, and three of the six Shangshu are here, and the three law divisions are not used to try so many court officials!
Of course, they also knew that these people could not be here to try them, because these people were their own people, that is, the legendary Zhang Bin and his party.
Zhang Bin ordered someone to open Li Guangchun's cell door under their stunned gaze, walked in with everyone, and then ordered someone to open Wang Jikui's cell door and take the person over, only then did he cough and said solemnly: "Everyone should know that the emperor has been at odds with me since he listened to Wen Tiren's slander, and this time, he made it clear that the carriage and horses wanted to clean us up!" ”
When everyone heard this, their faces showed a look of loneliness, yes, they are dedicated to the country and the people, but the emperor has always been prejudiced against them, this time, it is even more clear that they want to clean them up, just like they are traitors, they are all loyal ministers for the country and the people, okay!
Zhang Bin looked at everyone's faces and continued: "This time, the emperor ordered someone to arrest Lord Li and Lord Wang in the edict prison, what is the purpose, I believe everyone knows that the emperor's target is Lord Huang, and as long as the Metropolitan Procuratorate is controlled by Zhou Yanru and his gang again, when the Beijing Inspectorate has a big plan, they will be able to unscrupulously remove all of you, so that I will become a lonely person, and they can easily clean me up." ”
Yes, the emperor has already started to do it, their days are numbered, perhaps, in the future, everyone will not come to visit Li Guangchun and Wang Jikui in the edict, but come in to accompany them!
Zhang Bin glanced around again, and then said coldly: "The emperor is forcing me to do it, this faint monarch, I really think that no one can clean him up!" ”
"Shhh , except for a few people who are familiar with the inside story, such as Bi Maokang and Luo Yangxing, everyone else gasped, they didn't expect Zhang Bin to dare to say this about the emperor.
What's more powerful is still to come, Zhang Bin then snorted coldly: "There are only virtuous people in this world, he is not virtuous and incompetent, why should he be the emperor, everyone must have seen it in "Chongzhen Di Daily", that is what I let people print, if this kind of faint monarch does not abdicate and let Xian, do you have a good life, is there still hope for the Ming Dynasty?" ”
That's right, Chongzhen is indeed a faint king, but, as a courtier, forcing the emperor to abdicate, Daming has no precedent for this, who dares to think about this, except for Bi Maokang and Luo Yangxing, who already knew Zhang Bin's intentions, the other people's faces showed shock, this Zhang Bin, it seems that he wants to go directly to the emperor!
They guessed correctly, Zhang Bin glanced around again, and then said sharply: "I am determined to reform the old and make the new, force the emperor to abdicate, and help the prince to ascend the throne, you, if you are willing to do it with me, you can stay, and if you don't want to do it with me, you can leave, however, I want to advise you, even if you don't follow me, don't help the emperor do it with me, I am determined to do this faint king, you don't make a mistake." ”
When Huang Chenghao, Zou Weilian and others heard this, their faces suddenly became extremely complicated, Zhang Bin really wanted to be tough with the emperor, who did they help?
Zhang Bin stopped talking, just stood there with his hands in his hands, his face became indifferent, it was obvious that he was very sure of getting rid of Chongzhen.
These people are not corrupt like the Donglin Party, they are loyal ministers, but they are loyal to the country and the people, not loyal ministers who are stupid and loyal to the faint king, they also understand that whether it is for the country and the people or for themselves, Chongzhen must do this!
After a fierce ideological struggle, everyone successively stated their positions, supported Zhang Bin, and Chongzhen was tough, pulled him off the horse, and helped the prince to take the throne!
