Chapter 234 Chengguo Mansion
It is said that at the same time that the emperor summoned the British public Zhang Weixian, the first assistant of the cabinet, Li Guowei, and the commander of Jinyiwei, Gong Yonggu and Dongchang Admiral Eunuch Fang Zhenghua, took a large number of Jinyiwei and Dongchang people out of the palace to the Chengguo Mansion to deliver the decree.

When everyone left the palace, it was already dusk, and when it was time for the Chengguo Mansion, it was already nightfall, the Chengguo Mansion had closed its doors, and the lanterns were on.
Jin Yiwei called open the door of the Chengguo Mansion, and the servants in the palace were surprised to find that the person who came turned out to be the head of the cabinet, so naturally they trotted all the way to report.
Since Li Guowei became the first assistant, he has never been to the mansions of other ministers, let alone the mansions of the noble family.
This time, he was hand-picked by the emperor to talk to Chengguo Gong, of course, he had to come if he didn't want to come, after all, this is a very important official business.
He still knew a little bit about what the emperor meant, so when he saw Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, who came to greet him in casual clothes, he didn't have too much politeness, and directly drank away the others who were following Zhu Chunchen.
Then, led by Zhu Chunchen, the group went straight to the core of the Chengguo Mansion, that is, Zhu Chunchen's study.
Since he heard that the first assistant of the cabinet came to the door in person, Zhu Chunchen's heart was shocked, and at this moment, seeing that Li Guoyi and others were doing this, Zhu Chunchen couldn't help but feel even more worried in his heart.
Li Guoyan entered Zhu Chunchen's study, and did not sit down, but said directly: "Cheng Guogong, I came here this time to serve His Majesty's will, specially brought you a few confessions, and also conveyed a few words of the emperor's dictation to you. ā
Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, who was already in his fifties, was shocked in his heart, but he sat down and said, "What can the imperial court do so urgently, and you still need Lord Shoufu to visit you at night?!" ā
While saying this, Zhu Chunchen looked at Gong Yonggu, Fang Zhenghua and others who were standing behind Li Guoyi.
Gong Yonggu didn't say much, just turned around and nodded at the entourage behind him, and the Jinyiwei entourage immediately stepped forward and unfolded a volume of Jinyiwei's unique file and placed it on the desk next to Zhu Chunchen's seat.
Zhu Chunchen opened it and looked at it, and quickly understood what it was.
This is a record of the words and deeds of Li Guozhen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, in the Jinyiwei prison, and it can also be said to be a confession, which admits that the Xiangcheng Bofu occupies the farmland of the left guards of the Jingshi Zuo Guards under the jurisdiction of the former military governor's office, as well as the situation of falsely claiming salaries and occupying labor, but at the same time, it involves several national mansions such as the Chengguo Mansion, as well as many Hou Bo Mansions.
After Zhu Chunchen saw this thing, his heart was half angry and half disdainful.
What is angry is that this Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen usually looks heroic and reasonable, why did he become so confused and unreasonable as soon as he entered the prison of Jinyiwei?
If you are silent and don't bite everywhere, the other noble families may be able to find the emperor to intercede and save you, considering the situation of cold lips and cold teeth and sad rabbits and foxes.
Now you are biting people everywhere like a mad dog and pulling others into the water, which is tantamount to offending everyone in the circle of Jingshi Xungui, who will save you?!
What made Zhu Chunchen feel disdainful was that something like this was not the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
From Wanli to the Apocalypse, many civil servants proposed to rectify the Beijing camp, rectify the guards, verify the five military governors' offices and the lower capital guards, and falsely report the merger and occupation of the army, but none of them succeeded, and they always gave up halfway.
And those ministers who dared to propose the rectification of the Beijing camp and the guard center will most likely end up with nothing good in the end.
Now in the eyes of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, although the young emperor is determined to forge ahead, in a few years, he will recognize the situation like the first emperor, and he will know that the royal family is inseparable from the support of the nobles, and he will know the importance of treating the clan and nobles well.
Therefore, after reading the file in his hand, Zhu Chunchen threw it back on the case table and said with a big grin: "Li Guozhen is just a mad dog that bites people indiscriminately, how can he count what he said?!" Tomorrow, the Japanese National Council will go and make it clear to His Majesty! For this trivial matter, it is really a superfluous move for the first assistant to come in person! ā
Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen said this, which made Li Guoyan suddenly unhappy in his heart. In any case, these people came to the Chengguo Mansion by order, and when they said that they had made one move many times, didn't they mean that His Majesty had made one move many times? It seems that Dongchang said that this Chengguo criticized the emperor in private, and he did not wronged him!
As soon as he thought of this, Li Guoyan said solemnly: "Please also ask Cheng Guogong to be cautious!" We came by order, and in addition to bringing Li Guozhen's file, I also brought a record of Dongchang. Cheng Guogong still watched it and said it! ā
As soon as Li Guowei's words fell, Fang Zhenghua smiled slightly, took out a roll of paper from his arms, stepped forward and put it in the hand of Zhu Chunchen, who had already stretched out his hand.
Zhu Chunchen took the roll of paper, opened it and only glanced at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and then he shouted in a little panic: "Slander!" Shousuke-sama, this is complete slander! Someone framed the Chengguo Mansion! The prince of his country has been tired of the emperor's favor for generations, how can he say such a great rebellion?! I want to see the emperor, I want to go and explain it to the emperor! ā
Zhu Chunchen stood up as he spoke. After reading this page, he could no longer be calm.
said that he had never said such a thing, of course he knew in his heart that if it was not passed on, of course it was nothing, but once it was passed out, and it was passed on to the emperor's ears, then the problem would be serious.
The Ming Dynasty did not have a literary prison, and it was rare to kill ministers because of simple speech, but for the noble and military ministers, they could not afford to criticize the emperor in private, because they were not all the way with the ministers, and there would be no ministers to save him.
Therefore, in the final analysis, the political status of the noble military ministers and the eunuchs and ministers is actually about the same, that is to say, their future and fate are all in the emperor's thoughts.
At this time, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, finally realized this.
But at this time, it is too late to realize this, it is too late.
Seeing that Zhu Chunchen was so excited to deny it, Fang Zhenghua said coldly: "Grandpa Guo, don't be impatient!" At this time, the palace gate is closed, how can you see the emperor?! Your Majesty sent me and others to come, and naturally there is an edict for you, why don't you listen to it together!? ā
Seeing Fang Zhenghua say this, Zhu Chunchen suddenly quieted down, looked at the three people in front of him with a blank face, and finally set his eyes on Li Guoyi, the first assistant of the cabinet.
At this time, Li Guoyi suddenly said: "Your Majesty's dictation! ā
Zhu Chunchen hesitated, bent his legs, knelt on the ground in the study, and said, "Minister Zhu Chunchen respectfully listens to the holy oracle!" ā
Li Guoyan looked at him, and then said: "Your Majesty's dictation: I may indeed be the Lord Chong, but I am still your father after all. Your Majesty asked me to wait and ask you, do you know the duty of a courtier?! ā
"Minister Zhu Chunchen is guilty, the minister deserves death, please forgive your majesty!"
After Zhu Chunchen said this, he said to Li Guoyan again: "Lord Shoufu, how can you be credulous when you sit in the East Factory!" Please tell the emperor that Zhu Chunchen is loyal to the heart of the monarch, and the heavens and the earth can know it! ā
"Cheng Guogong's words, let's keep them and say it to the emperor in person in the future! Our mission to the Guogong Mansion has been completed. Please also ask Cheng Guogong to think about the duty of a courtier! ā
After Li Guoyan said this, he turned around and left, took the others and others, walked out of Zhu Chunchen's study, and walked out.
Of course, Li Guowei had already finished his errand, but Gong Yonggu, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Fang Zhenghua, the commander of Dongchang, did not.
Since the emperor beat Zhu Chunchen like this, how could Jinyiwei and Dongchang be indifferent. At that moment, the two of them left the Chengguo Mansion, and immediately arranged for the Jinyi Guard and Dongchang personnel under their command to surround the Chengguo Mansion of Nuoda.
When the Chengguo Mansion saw this situation, everyone was even more frightened.
