560 Generosity to Death (3rd Shift)
I don't know if Emperor Chongzhen's attitude is a little soft in the past few days, and the impeachment notes are basically left in the middle and not released, and those who impeached Xue Guoguan did not forward to Shanxi as before, which made more officials who paid attention to the dynamics think they understood something.
So, at the end of the day, there were a lot of impeachment recitals, anyway, they all seized this opportunity to try to express themselves, or fish in troubled waters, or mix up fame, etc.
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard that Cao Huachun came to tell him again, he didn't care anymore, and immediately issued an order, which was scheduled for tomorrow morning.
Speaking of this early dynasty, it seems that it has become less and less, especially since the invasion of Gyeonggi last year, the early dynasty is basically rare once a month. But because of this, as soon as I heard that the emperor was going to court early tomorrow, I suddenly inexplicably hit the excitement of many people.
"It seems that the emperor can't withstand the pressure, and finally wants to punish those treacherous people!"
"How many days have passed, and the emperor will not decide to punish them until tomorrow, which is rare!"
"I don't know if the emperor wants to push out who to explain, or punish those people?"
"Hehe, of course it's Xue Guoguan's thief! If you don't punish him, according to his approach, how many people are in arrears of taxes in the whole world, wouldn't it be a mess for the Ming Dynasty, and the world can still be peaceful! β
"Actually, you don't have to worry, even if only one Xue Guoguan falls this time, can the others escape? Let's make persistent efforts, take advantage of this east wind, pull out a vine gourd, and return a bright future! β
"Yes, yes, Liu Yushi really deserves to be the dry city of the country and the pillar of the Ming Dynasty!"
ββ¦β¦β
This matter, under the impetus of people with hearts, quickly spread all over Beijing.
Early the next morning, many people got up early, and those who were qualified to go to the court tidied up their appearances and went to the Forbidden City with high spirits; Those who do not have the qualifications of the early dynasty gather in various teahouses and restaurants, drink wine and tea, and pay attention to the dynamics of the court. It seems that at this time, there is only one thing left for the Jingshi.
Unlike those officials of the previous dynasty, when the ordinary people of Jingshi really felt that the imperial court wanted to dispose of people, some people had different opinions.
"Actually, if you want me to say, our Ming army is not so incompetent, at least Lu Zhongcheng has killed a lot of Jianjue, and even killed two of the Aixin Jueluo family, this is a real credit!"
"Yes, at least the revenge of my brother-in-law in Yongping City can be regarded as revenge. If it is only up to civil officials to move their mouths, how can they have a chance of revenge! β
ββ¦β¦β
However, these different voices were quickly drowned out, after all, the mainstream public opinion thought that the Dongjiang Army and the Guanning Army were all waste, exaggerated, falsely reported their military exploits, and deceived the emperor.
At the same time, in the Forbidden City, thousands of civil and military officials stood in line according to their official positions. The cabinet ministers and the eunuch Bingbi also arrived.
The emperor hasn't come yet, and there are a lot of people talking to each other. Of course, most of them are civil servants who are speaking generously and communicating with their colleagues to express their positions.
"See, what is the face of that Shousuke!"
"Also, look at that Zhang Zhifa, he was recommended by Shoufu, and the grasshopper on a rope is also bitter!"
"Colleagues, today we should work together to get rid of Xue Guoguan's treachery first!"
ββ¦β¦β
The coming storm is cut by the military, and then attacks the cabinet ministers and the feudal officials, it stands to reason that the military attachΓ© should refute it in order to protect his own rights.
But there are few generals standing in that row, but few of them have this heart. If you really want to say it, there is only Zu Dashou. However, he looked at the still empty throne, and then looked at the civil officials opposite who were in high spirits, and finally sighed, and did not argue anything.
Originally, Zu Dashou thought that he saw that the military generals were finally coming out. At least after Emperor Chongzhen promised himself that day, he did set up the Jingshi Primary Military Preparation Hall, the Loyal Martyrs Hall, etc., and was still training the new army, personally checking the gates, and cutting off the possibility of civilian interference.
Unexpectedly, in the recent period, the sudden change in the atmosphere of the Jingshi caught him a little off guard. From the very beginning of the Liaodong War, in the opinion of an expert, it was indeed a big victory, which is unquestionable!
The kind of remarks on the streets and alleys, in his opinion, are just laymen's discussions, and they are not worth refuting at all. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this in the end. To make matters worse, all the officials who supported the military affairs, even the first person who was the first person to be the first of the hundred civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, were also attacked, and the emperor was silent in this overwhelming public opinion.
Da Ming Wen is noble and martial arts, this has been hundreds of years, how can it be so easy to change! Zu Dashou thought in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh again, he still seemed naΓ―ve!
He was thinking about it, but he heard a "The emperor has arrived", and the emperor finally came.
Immediately, the scene became silent and everyone became serious. However, when Zu Dashou saw it, there were many officials who looked quite excited, looking like that, it seemed that they were holding back!
Emperor Chongzhen was seated on the throne, Wang Chengen, the commander of Dongchang, and Liu Xingzuo, the commander of Jinyiwei, were in front of the palace, and the atmosphere was quite different. However, how could this frighten those civil officials. Now is the best time to miss it!
Gao Shiyue, the eunuch on duty, saw that it was time for him to appear, so he took a step forward and shouted loudly: "There is a play, there is nothing to retreat!" β
As soon as these words fell, no one expected that it was Cheng Ji, an auxiliary minister standing in front, who coughed first, and stepped out of the column and said: "The minister has a play!" β
In the previous impeachment recital, I haven't heard of any movement in Sung Ki-myeong. What does it mean that he is the first to stand up?
For a while, many officials, even Emperor Chongzhen, were a little puzzled, I don't know what he was rushing to do it for?
"Quasi-play!" Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and commanded lightly.
Cheng Jiming seemed to be resolute, and shouted to Emperor Chongzhen: "The minister wants to impeach Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, Xue Guoguan, the auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, ......"
"......" The civil and military officials who heard his words couldn't help but be taken aback. They didn't expect that Cheng Ji's fate would be too much, and Yiming would be so amazing that he would impeach so many important ministers of the country in one go!
Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly when he heard this, which surprised him a little, but then his brows stretched again, and he just asked lightly, "Why?" β
At this time, Cheng Ji's life, like a righteous man of the ancients, made a generous death, and loudly echoed: "The minister impeached Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, falsely reported his military exploits, exaggerated, and deceived the holy ......."
