Chapter XXII: Impeachment

Just as Zhu Cijiong was immersed in the gentle township, the entire Jingshi began to undercurrent again. Sun Chengzong did not deliberately conceal the matter of the Shenji Battalion entering Beijing, and the people of the eunuch party were worthy of surpassing the Jinyi Wei in Luo Yangxing's hands, and Sun Chengzong came to such a hand, clearly warning the eunuch group, as for whether there is anything else, I don't know.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't sit still after learning the news, and hurriedly called all the core members of the eunuch party to the secret room of the Dongchang Yamen and closed the door to discuss countermeasures.

After the little emperor ascended the throne, he didn't mean to clean them up, and Sun Chengzong didn't lead the Donglin Party to pounce violently, only Luo Yangxing used the will of the emperor to occupy the guards of the imperial city, and there was nothing else to do against them. Even in order to appease them, the little emperor approved all the officials they appointed and dismissed, and now the power of the eunuch party is stronger than that of the previous emperor.

Wei Zhongxian originally thought that he could still be stable at the age of nine thousand years, and the little emperor didn't dare to do anything with him, but he didn't expect Sun Chengzong to suddenly come to such a show, it was really unbearable, and when a group of cronies sat down, he said angrily: "Sun Chengzong, this old dog, suddenly transferred the Shenji Battalion to the imperial city, what does he want to do?" ”

When everyone saw his expression, they didn't dare to answer, he was obviously angry, who dared to touch this brow, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't bear it, he said fiercely: "No, just rush into the palace, arrest the little emperor, and then slaughter Sun Chengzong and Cao Huachun's gang, so that the court will be full of our people, Er Geng, what do you think." ”

Isn't this a rebellion! The frightened faces of the people present changed, Tian Ergeng was even more frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and he replied tremblingly: "Master Chitose, they have more people than us, and they occupy a favorable position in the imperial city, we don't have much chance of winning!" ”

Wei Zhongxian looked at his bear-like appearance and shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of, they have so many city gates to guard, it would be good if there were a thousand people at each city gate, and we more than 20,000 people gathered to rush into one city gate, can't we rush in?" ”

Tian Ergeng couldn't say anything frightened by his roar, and Cui Chengxiu on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Chitose Lord is angry, isn't this being discussed, we must come up with a perfect plan before we can do it." ”

Wei Zhongxian sighed when he heard this, forcibly suppressed his anger, glanced around, and finally stared at Zhou Yingqiu and asked, "Yingqiu, what do you say?" ”

Zhou Yingqiu said slowly: "I haven't figured out what Sun Chengzong means yet, we shouldn't act rashly, let's test it first, if Sun Chengzong really wants to be unfavorable to us, then we have to fight." ”

Wei Zhongxian was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Temptation? How tempting? ”

Zhou Yingqiu explained: "Let people write a letter to impeach us, Lord Cui's military department is still reformed, then impeach Lord Cui first, and then impeach the old man Chitose, if Sun Chengzong has no reaction when he receives the folds, then it's okay, if he dares to take advantage of the situation to embarrass us, then we have to rebel." ”

Wei Zhongxian thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: "Clever plan, wonderful plan, just do it." Let them write to impeach first, our side is secretly on the embankment, Sun Chengzong has to dare to do it, and the security guards told him to go around without eating. ”

So a strange scene appeared, and Yang Suoxiu, Yang Weihuan and others wrote to impeach Cui Chengxiu, the former secretary of the military department, saying that he embezzled military salaries. Later, Lu Chengyuan, Qian Yuanke, and Shi Gongsheng, the superintendent of the imperial history, wrote to impeach Wei Zhongxian, saying that he was nepotistic.

Why is this weird? It's not that the content of their impeachment is weird, what they say is normal and true, the weird thing is that these people are obviously from the eunuch faction, and they are all petty minions, their own people impeach their own people, and the little minions bite the boss, what is the reason?

Xinwang Zhu Youzhen was dumbfounded when he saw these twists and turns, he looked at Sun Chengzong on the side suspiciously, and didn't understand why he didn't react at all.

Sun Chengzong did not explain immediately, but asked the eunuch on duty outside to invite the emperor to come over and make a decision.

When Zhu Cijiong appeared in the imperial study in Mingyue's arms, everyone shook their heads helplessly, the little emperor is really getting younger and smaller, and he originally insisted on walking by himself, but as soon as Qin Mingyue came, he seemed to have forgotten how to walk. Of course, this little thing is harmless, and there are people who are still in the arms of their parents at the age of seven or eight, not to mention that the little emperor is only more than five years old, which is normal.

Zhu Youzheng was curious about these twists and turns, and as soon as he saw Zhu Cijiong coming in, he couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, in the past two days, many eunuchs have written to impeach Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu, how to deal with it, please ask the emperor to decide." ”

Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but ask curiously: "Oh, the eunuch party impeached Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu, are they fighting in the nest?" ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't answer, but looked at Sun Chengzong, he knew that this was definitely not a nest fight, but he couldn't figure out what it meant.

Sun Chengzong shook his head and said contemptuously: "They are not fighting in the nest, just rely on those few little minions, how can they be qualified to fight with Wei Zhongxian, if they are really fighting in the nest, these letters will not be passed on to us at all, and they will have been intercepted by Wei Zhongxian a long time ago." They're testing us to see if we're trying to clean up their minds. ”

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he suddenly realized: "That's what it means, why don't we take advantage of the situation and do it directly?" ”

Sun Chengzong shook his head again and said: "Now they must be heavily guarded, if we do it, the capital will definitely be in chaos, and when this impeachment wind passes, they will definitely relax their vigilance, and it will be much easier for us to do it again." ”

Zhu Cijiong nodded when he heard this: "What Taifu said makes sense, these twists and turns will be kept first, and then taken out when you do it." ”

Sun Chengzong shook his head again and said: "We can't keep it, if we don't send these folds back, they won't relax their vigilance, it's best to give them a review and check that there is no evidence, and call them back." ”

Zhu Cijiong said with some pity: "Alas, what a good excuse, but I can't do it." ”

Sun Chengzong said indifferently: "What they impeached is all trivial things, it's nothing, I have a better one, Gonggong Cao, you read it to the emperor." ”

After that, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Cao Huachun on the side.

Cao Huachun took the fold, looked at it for a while, and then read it aloud:

Student Jiaxing Gongsheng Qian Jiazheng wept blood and saluted:

The traitor Wei Zhongxian deceived the heavens and the earth, was a vain minister, and the crime was monstrous, and it was difficult to write about it.

Now I will briefly list the ten major sins, please ask the emperor to make a holy judgment:

The first crime: self-proclaimed 9,900 years old, vainly trying to be the same as the emperor;

The second crime: contempt for the emperor (Tai) and frame the abbot;

The third crime: manipulating military power, so that Liaodong was lost;

The fourth sin: arrogance, no ancestor, no ancestor;

The fifth crime: deducting the reward of the vassal king and enriching his own pockets;

The sixth crime: instigating the party henchmen to build a shrine in a vain attempt to be on par with the saint;

Crime seven: sealing relatives and indiscriminately rewarding them;

Crime 8: Covering up the border work, so that the soldiers of the border army are separated;

The ninth crime: wanton exploitation, so that the people are not able to make a living;

Crime 10: Forming a party for personal gain, and plotting against him.

Good guy, this piece is really much stronger than the ones sent by the eunuchs, all of them are the big sins of the Nine Clans, Wei Zhongxian has simply become the first traitor in the ages!

If you don't clean him up, it's just unreasonable!
