"Your Majesty, since Zhang Shangshu was in charge of the household department, he worked day and night for state affairs, and the court had money and food, fortunately Zhang Shangshu raised it...... The Zhang family was originally a big family, and there were children of side branches who bullied others, which is unknown; If you fornicate with the bandits, it is impossible! The bandits plundered, and every time the Zhang family was seriously damaged......" Zhou Yanru was the first to stand up for Zhang Peiju.

As the first assistant, the head of the household department who is in charge of money and food has no ability, and he can't raise money and food, so he is still a fart.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Wen Tiren is concise and to the point.

Many officials seconded the proposal, accusing Zhao Bingliang of spewing blood and slandering Lord Shangshu.

Zhang Peiju knew the purpose of the other officials speaking for him, saw Chongzhen sitting on the dragon chair and kept silent, knowing that the young emperor was suspicious, and secretly regretted that he had proposed several times to open the sea ban and expand trade routes to solve the shortage of money and food in the imperial court.

The sea trade was divided among officials, and the emperor intervened and robbed everyone of their silver, who could make Zhang Peiju feel better?

"Zhao Aiqing, the imperial court gave you the right to supervise hundreds of officials, not to give you the opportunity to slander others at will. Even if impeachment, how can it be proven? "Chongzhen can't open his mouth.

So many ministers defended Zhang Peiju, which made him even more angry, but there was no intention of defending his finance minister in his tone.

Since ascending the throne, he has worked hard to save the Ming Dynasty, forgetting to sleep and eat every day, and dare not slack off.

When he first ascended the throne, in order to kill Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party, Chongzhen had to rely on the power of the Donglin party.

The eunuch party was destroyed, the Donglin Party was dominant, the court continued to force the emperor to appoint their people, attacking non-Donglin Party officials, Chongzhen found the problem, he supported the Zhejiang Party that was suppressed by the Donglin Party, and Wen Tiren, who attacked indiscriminately from any party person, made him favored......

The art of the emperor is also a check and balance.

Relying on the Donglin Party to kill the eunuch party, and then supporting Zhejiang, Chu, Qi and other parties to check and balance the Donglin Party, before the two sides struggled, the young Chongzhen looked comfortable, but the ministers made a monolith, he was not happy.

Whatever is supported by the ministers, he, the emperor, has to oppose it!

Ignoring Zhang Peiju's farewell to his hometown, Chongzhen already knew that this was a common means used by ministers to blackmail him, the emperor, and there was really no one to use it.

"Your Majesty, Weichen heard rumors that Zhang Shanlu of Dinghai County forced Shen Defu, a wealthy businessman in Dinghai, to write an IOU of 100,000 silver, and the Shen family had 30,000 yuan overdue, and was forced to pay off the debt with 3,000 acres of fertile land and the ancestral house of the family...... Zhao Bingliang took the grievances between the Zhang family and the Shen family in Dinghai County to the court and said.

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.

If this matter is confirmed, Zhang Peiju will be in a catastrophe.

One hundred thousand taels, the emperor will look at ten thousand taels, and his eyes will be red.

"Zhang Aiqing, what Zhao Yushi said is true?" Chongzhen snorted coldly in his heart, the Zhang family's silver is easier than that of him, a rich emperor from all over the world.

Zhang Peiju, who was lying on the ground, had murderous intent in his heart, no matter who Zhao Bingliang was, he had to be killed.

He didn't know about this, and with what he knew about his eldest brother, it was entirely possible.

When the emperor asked, he couldn't help but answer, and said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, Weichen is thousands of miles away from his hometown, and he hasn't asked about family affairs. Weichen is for the country and the people, and his own affairs are taken care of by his wife...... This is true of all my colleagues in the DPRK and China. Shanlu is the third son of the eldest brother's family. Weichen didn't know the situation, so he excused his nephew, which was disloyal to the emperor. ”

He didn't argue for the people of the Zhang family, and directly said that he couldn't tell the situation.

The attitude is obvious, Zhao Bingliang used this to impeach himself, Chongzhen wants to talk about this matter, then find someone to investigate the situation first.

"Your Majesty, if you punish the guilty ministers only by impeachment, everyone will be in danger in the future, and the people will be panick......ed," Zhou Yanru said again.

The emperor's attitude towards him is getting worse and worse, and if he wants to stand firm in the court, he must be supported by more people, the Donglin party is weak, and Wen Tiren, the mad dog, is aggressive.

Although there is enmity with the Zhejiang Party, it does not prevent everyone from uniting to deal with the common enemy. Now help Zhang Peiju say a few good words, when it is critical, Zhang Peiju remembers the old love, and he earns it by helping him.

"That being the case, in order to prevent everyone from having no intention of serving the country, I chose one to supervise the imperial history to investigate and give Zhang Aiqing justice! Ladies and gentlemen, who can be in charge of this? Chongzhen didn't say more.

Zhang Pei held it below, but he felt a chill in his heart when he heard it.

Chongzhen only relied on the impeachment of the imperial history, and sent out to inspect the imperial history, clearly distrusting himself, perhaps it is better to plan for it.

The other ministers were the same, all of them were silent, Wen Tiren and the others, constantly wondering what Chongzhen's intention was.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Yu Shi Luo Cheng can go!" The ministers were silent, and Wen Tiren found out that Luo Cheng was the emperor's confidant from the beginning, so he suggested that Luo Cheng should be asked to investigate the matter.

"Yes!" Without waiting for the other ministers to object, Chongzhen nodded in agreement.

Then he retreated.

All the ministers were panicked, and their eyes were extremely complicated when they looked at Zhao Bingliang.

But no one talked about it.

When he retreated, most people no longer thought about Wen Tiren's impeachment of Zhou Yanru, but instead figured out Chongzhen's sudden attitude towards Zhang Peiju.

What does this mean?

Zhang Peiju is a good man in the court, unless he has money and food, he has never said much, who has he offended?

More people are worried about the affairs of their families and maritime merchants, and if they are found out, they will be raided and exterminated.

"Lord Zhang, the emperor is waiting for you in the Qianqing Palace!" Zhang Peiju was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, he was impeached just now, and the emperor didn't say a word, he directly asked people to investigate, and he clearly suspected that the impeachment was true.

Most of the people in the Wenhua Hall had left, and he was about to get up when a eunuch came to whisper.

Seeing who the eunuch was, Zhang Peiju was stunned.

It's actually the emperor's personal eunuch Wang Chengen!

stood up, took out a hundred taels of silver ticket from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Wang Chengen covertly, Wang Chengen did not shirk, accepted it covertly, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace behind.

"Princess, the emperor is calling, what is the so-called matter?" Zhang Peiju was worried in his heart, he couldn't guess what the little emperor was doing, so he asked one or two questions from Wang Chengen's mouth, and it was naturally easy to deal with.

"Master Zhang, you'll know when you go!" Wang Chengen didn't say much.

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen was dealing with a thick stack of concerts, and from time to time he took a pen to approve it, as if he had never seen Zhang Peiju kneeling in front.

"Smack!" When Zhang Peiju was about to fall unsupportively, several copies of the music were thrown directly not far in front of him, which scared him into a spirit.

"See for yourself! These are all impeachments for the children of your Zhang family, for the sake of the township, the fish and the flesh of the people! Chongzhen's young voice was filled with anger, "Zhang Aiqing, I trust you so much!" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged!" Zhang Peiju didn't dare to look at the chapter, so he could only shout injustice again.

He wasn't prepared for this.

"Wronged or not, you will know it when you see yourself!" Chongzhen did not speak again, but continued to review the chapter.
