As soon as Wen Tiren saw Chongzhen's expression, his heart sank.

The emperor wanted to protect Zhou Yanru, so he asked Luo Cheng to impeach the most immovable household secretary at present, and sighed, so he could only let Zhou Lao'er stay for a few more days.

Not only Wen Tiren couldn't imagine that Luo Cheng would impeach Zhang Peiju, the head of the household department, who had nothing to do with this matter, but even other officials couldn't imagine it.

Wen Tiren and Zhang Peiju are both from Zhejiang, but he is not from the Zhejiang Party.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the emperor elected cabinet ministers, and Wen Tiren, who was less qualified, had no hope of entering the cabinet, figuring out the young emperor's thoughts, and impeached Qian Qianyi, who Chongzhen didn't like, for accepting bribes and forming a party, and was not qualified to serve as a cabinet minister, which made the emperor happy, and then the trust continued to increase.

If Wen Tiren wants to support someone, he always asks other officials to propose it first, and then he supports it. If you want to frame someone, you will also let his henchmen impeach, and he will first say good things on the side, and then deliberately say things that Chongzhen taboo makes the emperor angry......

Chongzhen, who has not experienced many things, has never discovered Wen Tiren's sinister intentions.

Chongzhen just ascended the throne, knowing the collusion of friends in the court, from that time, Wen Tiren showed that he was only loyal to the emperor, and any party member would be impeached if he was unhappy and said bad things.

Now, Wen Tiren's limelight faintly overshadows Zhou Yanru, and he keeps exerting his strength, looking forward to killing Zhou Yanru and becoming the first assistant himself, today is the best opportunity.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Luo Cheng impeached Zhang Peiju!

It is clearly a disturbance of sight.

Chongzhen's appreciative look at Luo Chengtou, after Wen Tiren saw it, he knew that he couldn't bring down Zhou Yanru today.

Watching the lively Zhang Peiju on the side, he never expected the fire to burn on himself.

In May, Zheng Yiwei and Xu Guangqi were concurrently scholars of Dongge University and became auxiliary ministers of the cabinet.

Outsiders think that Wen Tiren is the Zhejiang Party, and Wen Tiren sometimes pits his teammates just to divert his attention, and attacks the Zhejiang Party when he has the opportunity, and Zhang Peiju, as the leader of the Zhejiang Party, can imagine the pressure.

The Zhejiang Party is currently the largest force outside the Donglin Party, if you put aside Wen Tiren, which is considered to be the second assistant of the Zhejiang Party, there is not much gap between the Zhejiang Party and other parties, and only Zhang Pei is the only one of the three or more grades of the Zhejiang Party.

Zhang Peiju, who is responsible for carrying the flag of the Zhejiang Party, has been cautious, just to become a scholar of Dongge University.

I didn't think that if I didn't let out a single fart now, someone would burn it on him.

immediately knelt on the ground, his head lay on the ground, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged." Thanks to the emperor's love, he was in charge of the household department a few years ago, and he was anxious about money and food every day......"

Others were even more stunned, if they talked about corruption, no one could say anything about Zhang Peiju.

Zhang Peiju's family was originally a businessman, with a lot of money and a generous hand, Chongzhen asked him to be a household secretary has a lot to do with his merchant family background, and wants him to solve the money and grain crisis in the imperial court.

How did everyone know that Luo Cheng impeached Zhang Peiju, and he was impeached in terms of corruption, in order to divert attention, he was instructed by the emperor to let the ministers no longer besiege Zhou Yanru.

One of the major characteristics of the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is that the party struggle is the most in history, there is no ancient, there is no one after it, there are many parties, and there is chaos.

Anyone who can see the situation can climb up, and of course, whoever can climb up has to trample the enemy down.

There are only a few high-ranking positions, and if lower-level officials want to be promoted, they naturally have to wait for the positions to become vacant. The position is not empty, so I will find a way to pull the people above down to make room.

Someone started, and naturally there was a crowd to attack it.

The head of the household is still a book, but he is a high-ranking official of the second grade! How many are there in the imperial court?

"Emperor Qi, the minister impeached Zhang Peiju, the secretary of the household department, for taking people's land and property, going to sea without permission to trade with Japanese slaves and red-haired ghosts, and colluding with sea bandits......" Zhao Bingliang, the superintendent of the imperial history, suddenly echoed and impeached Zhang Peiju.

The entire Wenhua Hall suddenly exploded!

Being impeached and taking away people's land and property is a trivial matter, and there are few people who have not been so attacked and slandered.

The seizure of people's land and property is not a frame-up, but no one has been convicted for this, unless the emperor does not like it.

went to sea in violation of regulations, and traded with the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Japanese slaves and red-haired ghosts, and said it in public at the court, which broke the sky.

Treason, collaborator!

Chongzhen's face was suddenly gloomy and almost dripping, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and he stared at Zhang Peiju with murderous eyes.

Zhang Peiju has proposed many times before to open the sea ban and increase the source of taxes.

Chongzhen thinks that such a crime is completely possible, if it is not so, how can he propose to open the sea ban? Someone had accused Zhang Pei of this crime before, and Chongzhen needed him to raise money, and his suspicion was suppressed.

The imperial court banned the sea, just because there was no money and food, and the coastal defense was deserted, so wouldn't it be more convenient to communicate with foreign enemies?

Zhang Peiju, who was lying on the ground, trembled when he heard such a crime, and the Zhang family fleet took action a few years ago and hid behind the scenes to collect money. Now that Zhao Bingliang, a mad dog, jumped out and bit himself, who did he get the instructions?

Zhao Bingliang is only a five-grade imperial history, if no one instructs him, how can he attack with this?

He didn't argue either, and only asked Chongzhen to take a clear look.

It is not his family that benefits from the maritime trade between the DPRK and China, and the majority of the money is not unique to his family.

Zhou Yanru looked at Wen Tiren and found that his rival was staring at him, with an inquiring look in his eyes, and he shook his head slightly to show that Zhao Bingliang was not his person. At the same time, he also asked Wen Tiren with his eyes, Zhao Bingliang was not his person, Wen Tiren shook his head slightly.

No one else dared to speak.

Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, whether it is the Donglin Party or the Zhejiang Party, or the Lu Party, which has little power, officials from Fujian and Guangzhou, how many families have nothing to do with maritime trade? Manchu officials, how many did they not get the private interests of maritime trade?

If you check it, the sky will have to be turned over.

Zhao Bingliang, a silent mad dog, actually poked a big hole in the sky.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the officials, and his anger was even worse, and he didn't speak.

The emperor didn't speak, and Zhang Peiju, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but speak.

Immediately choked up and said: "The emperor is aware that Weichen has never returned to his hometown since he stepped down as governor of Zhejiang. Wechen's brother is a businessman, and the minister's eldest brother travels ten miles and eight towns to sell goods for Wechen to study...... Wechen is in the court, and his brother has sold his shop ten years ago, reducing his business, and now only the shop that is necessary to maintain his family's life is left...... Weichen is old, and the emperor looks at Weichen for the country and the people for many years, and he allows Weichen to resign and return home, and his bones are buried in the place where the bones of the clan are buried......"

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily and could not kneel for a long time.

Everyone never thought that Zhou Yanru, who wanted to be defeated, would not return to his hometown without telling the old man, and Zhang Peiju, who was in charge of the court's money bag, would actually return to his hometown at this time.

How can this work?

There are few people who can do it, and no matter who is the first assistant, they can't be without money and food.

How did Chongzhen not know? He originally thought that everyone in the household department knew that he couldn't move, and if he was impeached and diverted his attention, everyone would end with a few nonsense, but he didn't expect things to become like this.
