Volume 7 Chapter 83 Falling off the horse one after another
At about midnight that night, the Beijing Clarification Workshop, the residence of Zhang Sizhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
It was late at night, but the lights were still bright in the bedroom of the main house, and from time to time there was a wheezing sound and a faint howl.
Outside the bedroom, in a dark corner, two black shadows squatted silently, like two pitch-black sculptures, as if they had merged with the darkness.
I don't know how long it took, a black shadow finally moved, he leaned into the ear of another black shadow, and whispered like a mosquito: "Brother Ru, isn't this guy crazy, it's been more than an hour, and my legs are numb." ”
Zhao Rubai glanced at Liu Wenxiu, stretched out his hand and gently knocked on his head, signaling him to shut up, they came to investigate secretly, and it would be troublesome if they were discovered.
After a while, the strange sounds in the room finally stopped, and after a squirming sound, two beautiful women who looked like sisters helped each other out of the bedroom, and staggered into the distance.
Zhao Ru and Liu Wenxiu sighed almost at the same time, it was finally over, this ugly monster, is it really perverted, he can't pamper such two beautiful beauties, but he tortures them every day!
In the bedroom, Zhang Sizhi, whose face was full of rotten meat, sat on the bed and gasped, his eyes were crazy for a while, violent for a while, and cold for a while, and he looked like a terrible ghost in the flickering light.
At this moment, his heart was actually full of anxiety and uneasiness, because the Zhejiang party sent someone to send news that the content of today's court discussion was whether to dismiss him, the secretary of the criminal department, and investigate him!
Although the people of the Zhejiang Party tried their best to say good things for him, and the emperor had given up the idea of dismissing him from his post and investigating him, he still couldn't rest assured, because he had done too many bad things, and if the Metropolitan Procuratorate found real evidence, he would not be dismissed from his post and investigated.
The reason why he vented so frantically was to toss himself tired and get some sleep, and on this day, he always felt palpitations inexplicably, as if his end was coming, and he couldn't sleep at all.
He tossed wildly for so long, and finally got tired, and after sitting for a while, he finally slowly lay down, covered the quilt, and fell asleep, but he didn't dare to turn off the lights, because he was afraid, he was afraid that the people he killed would turn into ghosts and come to him.
Although he is so ugly that even a ghost can scare out his urine, after all, he is not a real ghost, will a ghost be afraid of people's ugliness, this is really unheard of, so he didn't dare to turn off the lights, for fear that evil ghosts would haunt him.
The so-called "don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." If you do too many bad things, you will always be retributed.
The next morning, after the right session, a Honglu Temple official suddenly walked to the middle of the imperial road, slowly unfolded the scroll in his hand, and read aloud: "Check, Zhang Sizhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, robbed his brother's family property during the review of the Hanlin Academy, and made his brother run away in a negative mood....... ”
The scroll in the hand of the Honglu Temple official was very long, and he had been reading it for nearly a quarter of an hour, and it seemed that he had not read half of it, but the faces of the civil and military officials below had changed greatly.
Some people, their faces are full of anger, if it weren't for the palace, it is estimated that they would not be able to help but surround Haibian Zhang Sizhi, these people don't need to ask, they are all righteous officials with justice in their hearts;
Some people, their faces are full of surprise, they really can't believe that there is such a inhuman beast in this world, and this person is still the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, most of these people are those insensitive bastards, they are monks for a day and hit the clock for a day, just wait for the age to reach the age, go home to retire;
Some people, their faces are full of fear, most of them are eunuch remnants, more or less have done some bad things, this Zhang Sizhi was actually investigated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the ending can be imagined, if the Metropolitan Procuratorate finds them one day, how can I get it!
Chongzhen looked at the courtiers below coldly, angry and surprised, he swept it away, because most of these people had nothing to do with Zhang Sizhi, and even those who were full of panic He swept away, because there are too many such people, they are all small minions in the remnants of the eunuch party, and they are not worthy of his attention at all, only those who pretend to be calm, he has them all in his heart, most of these people are court members above the third grade, they are the core of the Zhejiang party, the Qi party and the remnants of the eunuch party, and they are the targets to clean up.
After the ceremonial officer of Honglu Temple finished reading the guilt, Zhang Sizhi in the criminal department train was already so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, Chongzhen snorted coldly, stood up and shouted angrily: "This kind of inhumane beast can steal the high position of the criminal department's Shangshu, what's going on, many people know in their hearts, you all have to reflect on it, come here, take down this brute for me." ”
After that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked towards Long Yuan, and the civil and military officials hurriedly knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Zhang Sizhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was sent to prison, and the civil and military officials were so frightened that they were silent, but no one reflected on themselves, Chongzhen made them reflect on the meaning of letting the remnants of the eunuch party, especially the Qi party officials, know more interestingly, and handed over the resignation letter by himself, so he arranged for someone to take over slowly, but he didn't expect that after a few days, no one handed in the resignation!
Chongzhen was furious, he directly ordered Jinyiwei to copy Zhang Sizhi's mansion in a huge manner, and sent all Zhang Sizhi's cronies to the prison in the Criminal Department, in order to warn those eunuch remnants, this time I am not finished with you, acquaintances, hurry up and get out of yourself.
Unexpectedly, there is still no acquaintance! What's going on here?
In fact, it was Wen Tiren and Xie Sheng who misunderstood, and Chongzhen was not mad once or twice, Wang Yongguang, Min Hongxue, Min Mengde, Zhang Jie, Shi Fan, Tang Shiji, Wang Yingxiong, etc., were not all remnants of the eunuch party, but also their Zhejiang party and Qi party cadres, Chongzhen picked up so many people, and they didn't see what happened to the Zhejiang party and the Qi party, so they mistakenly thought that Chongzhen didn't know that they were forming a party for personal gain, and punishing Zhang Sizhi was just to deter them, and they were even thinking about trying to seize the position of the secretary of the criminal department!
These people are not interested, what should they do?
Chongzhen is not in a hurry, he will not do this kind of stupid thing, it is okay to force so many officials, the remnants of the eunuch party are all over the court, and the court must be in chaos, since these people are not interested, then take your time, one by one, pull a radish to fill a pit.
Now, the radish of the Criminal Department Shangshu has been pulled out, and this pit will be filled in first.
So, a wonderful court push began.
As soon as the official of Honglu Temple announced the start of the court push, Xue Guoguan, the secretary of the ministry, immediately walked out of the train, knelt in the middle of the royal road and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen elected Wei Zhao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, Wei Zhaocheng Wei, Wei is upright, jealous and hateful, the Tianqi Dynasty has impeached Zhou Yingqiu, the head of the eunuch party, and was therefore persecuted by Wei Eunuch, dismissed and cut his status, Wei is such a loyal and upright person, it is really a good choice for the criminal department of Shangshu, so Weichen recommended Wei Zhaocheng Wei to be the secretary of the criminal department. ”
What is going on with the remnants of the eunuch party, has it changed sex, and even launched an "anti-eunuch" fighter to take over as the secretary of the criminal department!
Are they preparing to wield a sword from the palace and practice divine skills?
Of course not!
Wei Zhaocheng is indeed not a remnant of the eunuch party, and it is also true that he impeached the eunuch cadre Zhou Yingqiu, so he was dismissed and cut down by Wei Zhongxian.
It's a pity that when he arrived in the Chongzhen Dynasty, he wanted to make trouble and wanted to climb to a higher position, so he was not guaranteed in the evening and attached himself to the eunuch remnant Wen Tiren.
Originally, Wen Tiren didn't plan to reuse this guy, because he was from a bad background, he was not a eunuch, and he had fought against the eunuch party, and promoted him, what would the remnants of the other eunuch party think?
However, this time Chongzhen was faintly dissatisfied with the remnants of the eunuch party, and Wen Tiren "tasted" the fighter who launched this "anti-eunuch party", thinking that Chongzhen should not doubt it, haven't you seen this guy impeach Zhou Yingqiu.
As soon as Xue Guoguan's words fell, another group of Zhejiang party officials and eunuch remnants walked out of the train, lying in the middle of the royal road and said loudly: "The minister seconded the proposal", "the minister seconded the proposal", "the minister seconded the proposal" .......
If it were in the past, Chongzhen might really have fallen into his way, but unfortunately, this time Chongzhen was determined to clean up the remnants of the eunuch party, and the officials they promoted, Chongzhen didn't even bother to look at it.
Everyone saw Chongzhen sitting there without saying a word, and thought that the emperor was thinking about it, but they never thought that Huang Chenghao, the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, suddenly walked out of the train, knelt in the middle of the royal road and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen elected Zou Weilian, the secretary of the Criminal Department of the Southern Capital, Lord Zou is upright, jealous and hateful, the Tianqi Dynasty once impeached Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, and was persecuted by Wei Eunuch, dismissed the official and cut his status, and exiled for three thousand miles. It is actually a good choice for the secretary of the criminal department, so Weichen recommended Zou Weilian and Lord Zou to serve as the secretary of the criminal department. ”
This guy, Zou Weilian is indeed a well-known straight man of steel in the Apocalypse Dynasty, and his "Impeachment of Wei Zhongxian" is also rumored to be a good talk among a group of honest and honest officials, the problem, everyone has been relegated to the southern capital to eat and wait for death, this is suddenly mentioned as the secretary of the criminal department of the capital, is it possible?
Under normal circumstances, it is naturally impossible, and there are not many officials supported by Huang Chenghao behind him, just three or four officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate came out to second, compared with the dozens of officials who supported Wei Zhaocheng, it was not a star and a half.
However, Chongzhen opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Well, since everyone is trying their best to promote, then Zou Weilian, the secretary of the Criminal Department of the Southern Capital, will be promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department of the capital." ”
"Ahh , Many eunuch remnants couldn't help but exclaim, Huang Chenghao only has two or three kittens behind him, so everyone is trying to recommend it? Everyone highly recommends Wei Zhaocheng, is it good!
Chongzhen admired the surprised expression of the remnants of the eunuch party, and then shouted proudly: "Retreat from the dynasty." ”
This situation seems to be a little wrong, the emperor actually used Zhang Bin's henchmen, is this to declare war on the remnants of the eunuch party of the Manchu Dynasty?
This kind of thing, I really can't ask it, whoever asks the emperor doesn't mean that he is a remnant of the eunuch party, so Wen Tiren, Xie Sheng and others can only pretend that they don't know that there is something strange about this matter, so they are so silent, as if nothing has happened.
They can act as if nothing has happened, but Chongzhen will not stop there, Zou Weilian has just taken office, and Li Guangchun, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, immediately impeached the current secretary of the Ministry of Works, Xie Ma, who embezzled a total of tens of thousands of taels of silver for various projects during his tenure as the secretary of the Ministry of Works.
This incident also happened in the Apocalypse Dynasty, and it stands to reason that it is difficult to find out the real evidence, but after the fold was handed to the cabinet, not only Xie Majesty's brother Xie Sheng was startled, but even Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, was shocked, this Huang Chenghao seems to be finished with them, judging from past experience, this Xie Majesty is afraid that it will be finished!
Wen Tiren even faintly felt that the force behind Huang Chenghao was the emperor, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the successive fall of Wang Yingxiong, a cabinet scholar and secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhang Sizhi, a secretary of the Criminal Department.
These two are at the same level as Huang Chenghao, and Wang Yingxiong's power is much greater than Huang Chenghao's, and the power of the court can steadily surpass Wang Yingxiong, except for his Wen Tiren is the emperor, and those who can smoothly pull Wang Yingxiong off the horse, except for him Wen Tiren, there is only the emperor!
After he came up with this result, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, he would never write it, and the affairs of the Qi Party should be handled by their Qi Party, and he even warned all Zhejiang Party officials that this time, no one was allowed to say good things for His Majesty Xie!
Xie Sheng is really anxious now, although Zhang Sizhi is the key training object of the Qi Party, after all, he has no blood relationship with him, even if he is dismissed and cut off and sent to the edict, he just feels sorry, Xie Majesty is his own brother, if he is arrested by the emperor and put in the edict, then how can he get it.
He thought about it for a long time, but he could only come up with a "check that there is no evidence, return it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and deal with it after finding out the real evidence." ”
However, this time, he did not sit back and wait for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to continue the investigation, but hurriedly contacted Xie Majesty to see what he had done to lack morality, and hurriedly dealt with the beginning, and even the corrupt dirty silver had to be transferred to another place as soon as possible.
Is His Majesty Xie corrupt?
There is no doubt about this, after the remnants of the eunuch party of Chongzhen Dynasty took power, you are not greedy for a few thousand taels, you are embarrassed to say that you are a Beijing official, you are not greedy for tens of thousands of taels are embarrassed to sit in the position of a third-grade official, as for the six books, the cabinet is a scholar level, and it is hundreds of thousands of taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels if you are greedy, as long as you want to be greedy, someone will give it to you, if you are not greedy, you will even be unable to sit in a stable position, and you dare not be greedy for any silver, you are embarrassed to say that you used to be a member of the eunuch party, hurry up and go home to retire, save because of timidity, Sell everyone else!
This Xie Majesty is considered to be restrained, but he is only greedy for hundreds of thousands of taels in total, and he doesn't know how perverted he spends money, so there are still more than 200,000 taels left at this time, and more than 200,000 taels are tens of thousands of catties, at least more than ten carriages can be pulled away.
This Xie Sheng is also smart, he didn't pull them all away at once, but one at a time, and secretly transferred them every day when it was about to be dark.
He thought he was doing something very hidden, but he didn't expect that his mansion was surrounded by secret agents laid by Zhang Bin, and Zhang Bin was just waiting for him to transport dirty silver out.
This is also to blame them for being too careful, so careful that Zhang Bin can't catch other handles at all, Zhang Bin can only come to a trick to startle the snake, and accuse you of corruption, see if you dare to hide the silver in the mansion, Wang Yingxiong and Zhang Sizhi's house have been copied, if you dare to conclude that your mansion will not be copied, then put the silver there.
Who dares to bet on this kind of thing, if the emperor is a normal emperor today, they may dare to gamble, the problem is that the emperor's brain is a little wrong, if he suddenly gets nervous, he orders to raid the house, in the hands of Jinyiwei's "hammer brigade" that shook the capital, the secret room of the god horse can be hidden, a few hammers down, the god horse is finished!
This trick really worked, Xie Majesty was so frightened that he secretly transported dirty silver, what should he do next, just let Jinyiwei block his carriage?
This will definitely not work, Chongzhen still didn't ask Jinyi Wei to monitor the hundred officials at this time, how do you know that people are secretly transferring dirty silver, don't you make trouble for yourself.
