Zhu Daming still did not attend the court meeting, and at this juncture, no one among the hundred officials wrote a letter to accuse this matter.

Zhu Daming didn't bother to go to the court to listen to what they said was useless. Because what the courtiers want to say now, he knows, what they want the emperor to do, he is also doing.

As for the small pilgrimage, of course, it still has to be carried out.

Shi Fenglai's position as the first assistant has not yet been clarified, and at the same time he has been impeached by some courtiers, of course he himself does not want to resign, after all, he is only one step away from the highest goal of a civil official, and he has already obtained the emperor's approval, even if there are more bullets, as long as the emperor does not push him away, he will not take the initiative to resign.

Zhu Daming has no intention of driving him away at present, and a cabinet chief assistant who is not so confident is also what Zhu Daming is happy to see.

But today, the emperor is finally going to the Wenhua Hall to summon the cabinet ministers.

Because of the impeachment of Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, and Li Guowei, the emperor did not return it to the cabinet after reading it, nor did he say whether he could do it or not, what should he do, so Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guowei and others also came today, Li Guowei wanted to resign in person, and Shi Fenglai and Zhang Ruitu simply regarded them as emperors and did not agree with them.

When Zhu Daming came to the Wenhua Palace, the only four ministers had also arrived, and watching several ministers salute, Zhu Daming said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you all know what has happened recently, and I won't say much." Now Wei Zhongxian, Tian Ergeng and others have committed suicide in fear of crime, but there are still many discussions in the DPRK and China, and many ministers have written to ask the court to thoroughly investigate the Wei Party. I don't know what you think you should do? Of course, there are also people who impeach cabinet ministers, except for Sun Aiqing, several of you have been impeached. ”

When Zhu Daming said this, he saw that Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, and Li Guoyi were a little uneasy about being in place, so he immediately pressed his hand again, and said: "You are the great bachelors of the cabinet, I still trust you, people are not sages, who can do nothing, even if there are small mistakes in the past, it can be forgiven, I don't want to chase after you Aiqing, so you still have to be your cabinet ministers with peace of mind, I still have a lot to rely on you." ”

After Zhu Daming said these words, he saw that Li Guoyi wanted to speak, so he stopped and motioned for him to speak.

Li Guoyan hurriedly left his seat and knelt on the ground, took out a book of folds from his arms, and said: "Your Majesty is so loving that your ministers are embarrassed. Now that the court has discussed it, they all refer to the ministers as eunuchs, and it is really difficult for the ministers to settle for the position of cabinet ministers, so I implore Your Majesty to allow the ministers to return home. This is the minister's resignation. ”

After speaking, he raised the music in his hand high.

Zhu Daming motioned for Wang Chengen to come forward and take it, but he didn't look at it when he got it in his hand, and with a stab, he tore it off directly, and said: "If there is chaos today, the affairs of the DPRK and China are busy, and I have not been on the throne for a long time, it is the time to rely on your ministers, Li Aiqing does not have to take it to heart about the bullet seal of the imperial historian, Aiqing is now in the prime of life, I will not allow you to return to your hometown, do not mention this matter in the future." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Daming looked at Shi Fenglai and Zhang Ruitu and said: "The same is true for the two Aiqing, the courtiers discuss, there is no real evidence, and the two Aiqing must not be afraid of slander." Don't do what you want to do in the letter, just concentrate on helping me deal with the government. ”

After Shi Fenglai and Zhang Ruitu listened to the emperor's words, they also hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

When Li Guowei saw that the emperor said this, he didn't insist anymore, so everyone got up and sat back in their seats.

Zhu Daming continued: "Now there is a lot of discussion among the ministers of the DPRK and China, and they all think that the Wei Party in the DPRK and China should be thoroughly investigated. However, there is no Wei Party in the court, what kind of minister can be called the Wei Party, I actually have no fixed opinion in my heart, there is a book in the imperial history that the Wei Party has five tigers and five biao, and the words are conclusive, these bullet seals have been read by Aiqing, I don't know what to think about it? After speaking, he looked at Shi Fenglai.

Shi Fenglai sighed for a while, and said: "The five tigers and five biao said, the minister has also heard people talk about it before, but now that Wei Zhongxian is dead, I am afraid that there is no evidence, if it is just a rumor, it will wronged the courtier." I also ask Your Majesty to issue a thorough investigation, if there is no evidence, it is better not to lenient the imperial historian to slander people. ”

Next it was Zhang Ruitu's turn to speak, although it had not yet been officially made clear at the court meeting, but according to the time of entering the cabinet and the previous order, Shi Fenglai became the first assistant, and he became the second assistant.

I only heard Zhang Ruitu say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Shi Xiang said is honest and honest for Lao Cheng to seek the country." Now that His Majesty has eradicated the eunuchs in the inner court, they accuse the court of having eunuchs, but the ministers of the court are all His Majesty's ministers, and there are those who hand over the internal servants, but it is too much to say that they are all party interests with Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng. Your Majesty is invited to take a clear look. ”

After Zhang Ruitu finished speaking, it was Li Guoyi's turn and Sun Chengzong's turn. And the meaning of these two people is roughly the same, that is, to ask the emperor to quickly cut through the mess, punish the backbone of the eunuch party who has been conclusively evidenced as soon as possible, and announce it to the world to prove their crimes.

At the same time, it is necessary to redress the wrongful imprisonment and reinstate the ministers who were imprisoned, dismissed, or even reduced to civilian status for impeaching the eunuchs, and restore their reputations as soon as possible if they are dead.

Sun Chengzong also said: "In the matter of Li Ke, Wu Hongye and others impeached Cui Chengxiu, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, as well as Wu Chunfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Tian Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Ni Wenhuan, Taichangqing, and Li Kuilong, the deputy capital of the imperial history, as the five tigers, and impeached Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun as the five biaos.

"As for the five tigers, the first emperor has been widely spread in the world at the time, it can be seen that it is not groundless, now Cui Chengxiu has returned home, and the remaining four tigers are still in the court, the minister asks His Majesty to issue an order to investigate, if it is true, it will be punished by the Wei Party, if it is not true, it will be punished by Wu Hongye and others for false accusations."

Soon, Zhu Daming ordered the impeached Wu Chunfu and others to be dismissed, and ordered the new Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Envoy Wang Guoxing to arrest these people into the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Prison, waiting for further investigation by the imperial court.

Shi Fenglai and Zhang Ruitu's purpose today has been achieved, although they don't want the emperor to investigate the other members of the eunuch party, but they don't dare to say anything about this disposition.

Now no one dares to speak for the eunuchs, and whoever speaks for the eunuchs will be suspected of being eunuchs.

The effect of Zhu Daming's cane killing Xu Yingyuan is still obvious, as an old man in the emperor's palace, just speaking for a eunuch who was designated as a eunuch, he was directly killed by the emperor.

In this case, Shi Fenglai and others, who were already suspected of eunuchs, did not dare to say much at all, and when the emperor had already made a decision, they could only get up and kneel on the ground and call the emperor Shengming.
