67 Impeachment at the risk of death
At the head of the city, Man Gui looked at these routs coldly, and was very surprised in his heart.
When Li Fengxiang brought an oracle saying that there was a rout of Tongzhou coming, he still couldn't understand it. After all, there was no movement at that time, could the emperor pinch it? Now, he's convinced!
This kind of rout, not to mention the Beijing Division, even if it is other important border towns, they will not be allowed to enter the city.
Man Gui has been dealing with Jianyu for many years, so he is naturally familiar with Jianyu's routines. This kind of driving the rout mixed with spies is the best if it is put into the city, and if not, it can also hit the morale of the soldiers defending the city, which can be described as a trick that is not used in vain!
But this time, the emperor had already sent an edict, and it was also spread all over the city in advance. When the soldiers guarding the city saw it, they were as surprised as Man Gui, and then they did not suspect that there were spies in the rout outside the city. Therefore, everyone insisted that these routs should never be allowed into the city. Invisibly, morale does not fall but rises!
Man Gui was old in the army, and just by looking at the rout outside the city, he knew that it was composed of soldiers and soldiers of King Qin in different regions. It is not easy to investigate the spies.
Therefore, he immediately asked people to shout and spread the word: "The emperor has already made a will, and the Qin Wangjun obeys the dispatch of Sun Gelao." When you disperse and return to Beijing, it is clear that Jianyu has mixed up with spies among you. Whoever cries to enter the city again will be a spy nine times out of ten. If you arrest Sun Ge Lao, it will be a great achievement! ”
Previously, Guan Ningjun and other Qinwang troops were not allowed to enter the city, so these defeated soldiers outside the city only had a glimmer of expectation, hoping that they would be able to enter the city with few people. didn't think that the city head said this, and those who were shouting, whether they were spies or not, suddenly shut up.
Especially those who shouted energetically, they looked at the companions around them who were staring at them worriedly, suspecting that if they were not careful, they would be tied up to receive merit.
Man Gui ignored it after letting people shout, and looked up in the direction of the imperial city from time to time while patrolling the city. There was a hint of worry in my heart. It was like that last night, obviously someone wanted to make trouble, and I don't know if the emperor can handle it?
Just as he feared, at this time, there were already people in the Great Court Meeting.
I saw that Sun Li, the imperial historian of Shandong Province, came out and said: "The minister has a hundred thousand things urgent, and he will risk death to play to Your Majesty!" ”
When Hu Guang heard this, his brows furrowed, this was discussing the matter of finance and taxation, first they were pulled to the top of the auxiliary minister's court, and then they shouted about 100,000 urgent matters, if it is not allowed, wouldn't it be important and serious?
The topic was unconsciously pulled away, which made him really a little disliked. However, he couldn't pull it back, so he had to nod his head, which was accurate.
"Your Majesty's strategy, those who want to eat the king's fortune, take the lead in contributing money and efforts, so that my Ming monarchs and ministers can work together to resist foreign enemies, which is really wonderful."
What Sun Li bowed down to do was related to the vital interests of thousands of civil and military officials here, so when they heard it, they all turned their heads to look at him, and when they heard him praise this strategy, many people's faces showed a trace of displeasure. There are even a few people who seem to be out of the queue at any time.
No one expected that Sun Li then changed the conversation and said: "But the factory guard has been rampant and domineering for a long time, and the former dynasty Wei Wei is an example. The minister impeached the commander of the Jinyi Guard to make Luo Yangxing bully, took the opportunity to coerce and lure, and filled his own pockets, and Cao Huachun, the governor of Dongchang, shielded his colleagues, and acted as a traitor, causing the people in the city to be resentful, and the city was already in chaos. ”
Speaking of this, his face was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he knelt on the ground and cried: "The matter of the thief, there are all human and material evidence, and the amount is large enough to be punished by death." Although the minister knows that the factory guards the tiger and wolf, he has already put life and death out of the way, and risked death to play in front of the emperor, hoping that His Majesty will return justice to the people and hundreds of officials in Beijing and calm the people's anger! ”
As soon as they heard this, many people immediately came out of the queue and seconded the proposal. All of them showed the kind of tendency to ask for the people's lives and not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot.
Hu Guang sneered when he heard this, he knew that they would make a fuss about it. Now that everyone is making trouble in front of everyone, and it is also the head of the impeachment of the factory guard, it is nothing more than to see how they deal with it, and the second is to explain from the side that this policy is good, but the implementation below is not effective, which will disturb the people and cause resentment. The implication is that you don't want it!
If the original Emperor Chongzhen was so by them, it was really possible to doubt life, no, it was suspected that the discipline of the factory guards would be self-defeating again.
But now sitting on the throne is not the young emperor who has little experience. Hu Guang looked at them with a sneer, didn't speak, just waved his hand.
The eunuch standing next to him turned his head and shouted loudly: "Cao Huachun, the eunuch of Xuansi and the commander of Dongchang, has come to see him!" ”
Immediately, there was movement outside, apparently after a long wait.
The civil and military officials turned their heads to look, only to see Cao Huachun, the governor of Dongchang, in front, and several fanzi behind, escorting a man with a cloak and a hair to come over.
There were a few sharp-eyed people who recognized the person with the cloak at once, and immediately lost their voices and said in surprise: "Luo Yangxing? ”
Sure enough, by the time they got closer, most of the people had already recognized that person was Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. I saw him with a miserable face and a depressed look.
Sun Li, the imperial historian of Shandong Province, was dumbfounded, and he had confirmed that Luo Yangxing didn't seem to have anything to do before he came to the early court, so he confidently began to impeach. Unexpectedly, Luo Yangxing had been quietly arrested, and looking at his appearance, he still confessed his guilt. Wouldn't this move of his own be equivalent to hitting the cotton wool?
Cao Huachun didn't squint, approached the front and back of the palace, bowed down and played: "The slave and maid were ordered to arrest Luo Yangxing, the human and material evidence was there, and Luo Yangxing also confessed on the spot!" ”
Yes, it seems that at least Cao Huachun's impeachment is not valid.
Hu Guang stared coldly at Luo Yangxing, who was kneeling there and hanging his head, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Are you guilty!" ”
Luo Yangxing originally thought that he had a good relationship with civil officials, but after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, just like those Donglin Party members were all recalled, his father Luo Sigong was excluded by Wei Zhongxian, so he replaced Tian Ergeng, who was executed after the fall of Wei Gelding, to become the commander of Jinyiwei.
But I really didn't expect that I was cheated by those civil officials, and I didn't even have the possibility of shouting injustice - there are all human and material evidence. He knew that after being abandoned by the so-called allies and civil officials, he could not escape the blame.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister is wrong!" Luo Yangxing had a hint of luck, and wept bitterly and admitted his mistake, "I implore Your Majesty to give the minister another chance, and the minister will definitely not do it again." Minister......"
"Shut up!" Hu Guang shouted coldly, "I trust you so much, but you are still so unscrupulous in knowing the law and breaking the law in an extraordinary period, ruining the reputation of Jinyiwei, attracting the resentment of hundreds of officials, and passing on the edict ......"
