In the Imperial City's Heart Cultivation Palace, Huang Liji stood aside respectfully, quietly waiting for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was fiddling with delicate utensils, to stop. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info now Feng Quan has also been dismissed, in addition to Gu Bingqian in the cabinet is the only one cabinet minister left, because the first assistant Gu Bingqian has been sick at home, so he has become the only one in the cabinet and the person in power.

Although he is a unique auxiliary minister, Huang Liji still sighed in his heart: It is too difficult to see the emperor, it is no less than passing five levels and killing six generals.

It stands to reason that he, as a cabinet minister, has the right to enter the palace to meet the Son of Heaven at any time, but since Wei Zhongxian took power, he has blocked the news of the outer court and the inner palace, and everything must be allowed by Wei Zhongxian, and it is difficult for the courtiers of the outer court to see the emperor - even his entry into the palace this time was only allowed by Wei Zhongxian for the reason of the border affairs in eastern Liao, so he also explained the reason to the celebrant in advance, and asked those eunuchs to copy a copy of the relevant music.

Huang Liji did not show impatience after entering the palace, nor did he disdain the emperor for having fun like those admonishing ministers, and persuaded him bitterly, he just waited quietly, waiting for the moment when the apocalypse stopped.

Soon, the apocalypse stopped and smiled at him, "What does Huang Ge Lao have to report?" Huang Liji was very interested in the border affairs, and he had learned from the eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuch that he had always been very concerned about the border affairs, so he did not let Huang Liji wait too long.

Huang Liji took a few steps forward, handed the copy in his hand to the Tianqi case, and said: "Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, wants to renovate the three cities of Jinzhou, Tashan, and Dalinghe, so he specially asks for a salary and asks the imperial court to send an assistant. In addition, Yuan Chonghuan also requested that the general soldier Mangui be transferred to Guannei, and the general soldier Zhao led the transfer of Jinzhou, hoping that the imperial court would agree. ”

Tianqi was shocked when he heard this, and reached out to take the song and looked at it carefully. In the great victory of Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan turned the tide and blocked the iron cavalry of the Houjin army, and now he has been promoted from Yijie Ningqian Road to the governor of Liaodong. Tianqi still attaches great importance to this person, and besides, Yuan Chonghuan's proposal involves border affairs, and he has no reason not to attach importance to it.

Tianqi read the reluctance and said to Huang Liji: "Did the factory minister know about this matter? ”

Huang Liji sighed secretly in his heart, his face did not change, and said: "Before the minister came here, he had reported this matter to the factory father, and the factory father said that this matter was not trivial, and the emperor should hear about it, so the minister had to disturb the emperor's interest, and I hope the emperor will not blame!" ”

Tianqi was a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, it's me who is a little obsessed, and you came just in time." Then he asked, "How do the elders and ministers think they should respond to this matter?" ”

Huang Liji said: "It is a matter of the stability of the border town, and the minister thought that he should be as requested by Lord Yuan, and ordered the household department to audit the cost of silver taels, and the Ministry of Industry sent skilled craftsmen to supervise it, in order to restore the three cities as soon as possible and stabilize the frontier." As for the recall of Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao's relocation to the town, the minister felt that it was better to seek the intention of the ministers of the king of Jinglu. ”

Tianqi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, just as Aiqing said, this matter will be troubled by Lao Ge Lao." ”

Huang Liji said: "The ministers will obey the order, handle it carefully, and live up to the trust of the saint." ”

Apocalypse nodded in satisfaction, put down the fold in his hand, and picked up the delicate instrument on the desk to play with. He waited for Huang Liji's thanksgiving to retire, but after waiting for a while, he found that he didn't make the slightest movement in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and raised his head again and asked, "Is there anything else to do with Elder Ge?" ”

Huang Liji put on a serious expression at this time, and went one step further, and said solemnly: "The minister still has something to do." ”

"Oh?" Seeing that he was serious, Tianqi couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said, "What else does Aiqing have to say?" ”

Huang Liji said: "More than a dozen officials, soldiers, households, and engineering departments jointly folded their names to impeach Ni Wenhuan, the Taichang Shaoqing, for the crimes of arrogance and lawlessness, accepting bribes, and disrupting discipline, and asked the emperor to take a look. With that, he took out a note from his bosom and handed it to the apocalypse.

This recital was written by him personally ordering Kedao to jointly write it, which truthfully stated the situation of Ni Wenhuan selling official mantles to receive benefits and making a lot of money in the name of medical divination, and the content of the recital was very specific and detailed, and even pointed out the witnesses of all parties who could stand up and confront him.

Of course, this is Huang Liji's counterattack, since he saw Sun Yueling again the night before, he realized that the matter has developed to a very critical juncture, and it is his turn to make a move. So, he summoned more than a dozen confidants and officials to jointly write a recital on the impeachment of Ni Wenhuan, and took the opportunity of this time to face the emperor and go straight to the court. He has long known these sins of Ni Wenhuan, and with the collection of evidence from so many people, it is enough to send Ni Wenhuan to prison for punishment.

The reason why he aimed the finger at Ni Wenhuan instead of Cui Chengxiu was also considered - Cui Chengxiu was deeply favored by Wei Zhongxian, and he was the person who proposed Wei Zhongxian to join the cabinet as a minister, if he targeted Cui Chengxiu in front of the emperor, it would inevitably seem that he had a small belly and had a plan. Therefore, attacking Ni Wenhuan is the best choice at this moment, and there is no mention of Ni Wenhuan's defense of Yu Zhigao in this letter, but only details the evidence of his crimes one by one for the Son of Heaven to choose.

Ni Wenhuan is the most active person who defends Yu Shigao and exonerates him, his move is tantamount to encircling Wei to save Zhao, as long as Ni Wenhuan is driven out of the imperial court, the hundred officials in the court can naturally feel the emperor's determination to purge the Qing Dynasty, and when the time comes, he will secretly exert his strength, and the hype storm that has fallen to the freezing point will definitely resurge again, causing the emperor's attention.

Tianqi took this letter and looked at it for a long time, frowned slightly, and said to him: "Ni Wenhuan is so sinful? ”

Huang Liji said: "It's true, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can give an order to let the department investigate, this person is obviously guilty, and he is really not worthy of being an official in the court, and please ask the emperor to learn clearly." ”

Tianqi sighed and said, "But as far as I know, Ni Wenhuan is the factory minister's official body, if there is a boss who asks for the crime, the factory minister's face is not good-looking......"

Huang Liji sighed secretly in his heart, after all, the Son of Heaven still believed in Wei Zhongxian, and even this matter had to take care of his face, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily: "Dare to ask the emperor, is it the law and discipline of the court that is important or the face of the courtiers is important?" His Majesty has already made a decision, and he must not indulge the ministers who are greedy for ink because he can't bear it for a while, so the Ming Dynasty discipline does not exist, and the officials have no reverence for the court, then the emperor's prestige will be lost, and the legacy will be endless! ”

Seeing that he said it to such a height, Tianqi's brows furrowed more and more, and only after a while did he slowly say: "That is the case, it is better to do this, I will transfer this to Ni Wenhuan for self-examination and self-examination, and if he thinks it is true, let him retire on his own; If he thinks it's not true, he can also play a defense, do you think it's okay? ”

Huang Li thought about it for a while, and felt that this would be okay, the evidence of this letter was conclusive, everything was proven, and Ni Wenhuan was not worried about denying it, and it was very likely that he would retire in fear of crime, after all, this would also exempt him from punishment from the court; If Ni Wenhuan retired in fear of sin, he would not hurt Wei Zhongxian's face, and he would not have been able to make noise in front of the emperor, so he kowtowed again and said: "My emperor Shengming, how dare Weichen agree with this!" ”

Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the pen and annotated this letter for a while, handed it to him, and said, "In this case, Elder Ge should go and handle it!" ”

Huang Li was extremely grateful, took the piece from the apocalypse, and slowly took a few steps back before turning around.

……

After the bullet seal personally instructed by the Emperor of the Apocalypse was transferred to Ni Wenhuan's hands, Ni Wenhuan was terrified, this letter not only clarified the many sins he committed one by one, but also was jointly played by various Taoist officials, and the weight was not trivial. The most important thing is that this letter bypassed the celebrant and was personally instructed by the emperor to convey it, so that he could reflect on his repentance.

Although he has committed all kinds of sins over the years, and many evil things are obvious, but because of the blessing of Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu, no one dares to talk about it. But now these crimes he committed have been written in detail on the fold, and there are so many people to testify, and it has also attracted the attention of the emperor, Ni Wenhuan only feels like falling into an ice cave, and his body is cold.

Now the emperor personally added instructions, what does this mean? It shows that this matter has aroused the wrath of the saint and rebelled against the holy will, and the emperor has been very dissatisfied with him. The more Ni Wenhuan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and there was only one thought left in his heart: since the emperor asked him to examine and introspect, it means that there is still room for things and he will not take his own life.

As soon as he thought of this, Ni Wenhuan didn't care about discussing with others, and hurriedly folded a letter, saying that he had neglected self-discipline in recent years and committed a lot of sins, and he was sorry for the cultivation of the emperor and the court. Now he has many illnesses in his body and asks to return to his hometown to recuperate. His letter to his hometown was quickly approved by the Cabinet and allowed him to return to his hometown on leave.

Then the development of the situation was not only that, the day after Ni Wenhuan reported his illness, the cabinet issued a circular to the hundred officials, on the grounds that Yuan Whale of the imperial history had usurped his authority and interfered in court affairs, he was demoted to three ranks, and he was reduced from the seventh-grade supervision of the imperial history to the nine-grade secretary.

This matter soon spread in the imperial court, and immediately provoked a lot of discussion among hundreds of officials - Ni Wenhuan and Yuan Whale are Cui Chengxiu's henchmen, and they are also the most active people who shouted for Yu Zhigao in this reconsideration turmoil, and now one of them is sick and the other is demoted, which means that the weather vane of the imperial court has begun to turn, and the emperor may be ready to take Yu Zhigao under the knife.

As a result, hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China discussed privately, and many shrewd people couldn't help but start to act again, and once again took out the case of Yu Zhigao to talk about the matter. Slowly, an undercurrent swirled in the imperial court, and the hype topic that had fallen to freezing point began to boil again, and many people also demanded that Sun Yueling, Qian Qianyi and other Donglin party members who had been deposed be recalled to serve in the imperial court again.

After the news reached the secret house of Fenghua Society, Sun Yueling was overjoyed, Huang Liji was really extraordinary, and smiled at everyone: "The elder of the pavilion really has a mind with me, and now the court has been stirred, just wait for me to make a force." Looking around at everyone, he said loudly, "From now on, I will tell the Jingshi that my Sun Yueling has returned, and I will sit in the Sun Mansion and just wait for news from the imperial court." Also, at this time, it is time to announce Yang Lian's blood book to the world, so hard and concentric, I don't believe that we Donglin Party members can't return to the imperial court! ”

Everyone agreed, and the excitement was beyond words.
