In all fairness, when Wei Zhongxian was alive, in order to consolidate his personal power, he inevitably had the evil side of being cruel and vicious when the party was fighting against differences.

But from the fact that he once defied public opinion and boldly used Xiong Tingbi, who was slandered after the defeat of Liaoyang, he did not show favoritism and decisively dismissed Yuan Chonghuan, who could not flinch in the first battle of Ning Jin. Putting aside many aspects such as personal grievances, unwilled recommendation of Zhao Nanxing, Sun Chengzong and a group of capable ministers and direct ministers, it can be seen that he is still more or less a person who cares about the country.

Before Zhu Zilong crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, during the reign of Wei Zhongxian, the domestic situation was good. The situation in eastern Liaoning is stable, and this level of ability, this courage, and this merit should still be recognized and affirmed.

This is also the reason why Zhu Zilong has not been murderous to him since he possessed the emperor.

In the original history, when Wei Zhongxian died, Chongzhen used the Donglin Party members who advocated Confucianism. But at a time of domestic turmoil and a critical survival at the border, what can those literati and Confucian generals who are good at empty talk and lack of skills in governing the country do?

Therefore, Zhu Zilong is now secretly disposing of, and he is already a little disobedient, and even Wei Zhongxian, who has different intentions, already has a plan in his heart.

Not only will the Donglin Party members not be reused, but they will also use party personnel from other provinces in the DPRK and Central China to contain them again.

So, a few days later.

After Zhu Zilong's body acted in North Korea, the emperor's doppelganger also began to act in the palace.

On the same day, Han Yi, Zhou Yanru and others were urgently summoned into the palace.

When Han Yi, Zhou Yanru and others came to the door of the study in the palace, raised their eyes, and saw Wang Chengen at a glance.

At this time, Wang Chengen did not have the style of one of the chief eunuchs, but was like an ant in a hot pot, constantly walking back and forth outside, his expression was full of panic and nervousness.

"Let the prince wait for a long time, and I hope that the father-in-law will not be surprised." Zhou Yanru stepped forward cautiously to test and pat himself.

When he waited until he retreated, there was no one else, but Wang Chengen's expression changed, and he said to several cabinet ministers in a panic: "A few adults, there are thousands of people in the twelve prisons of the inner court, and they have had a lot of friendship with you these days, and they have unanimously attacked Wei Zhongxian's thoughts, don't save me."

Seeing that Wang Chengen on the other side was really serious, Han Yi, Zhou Yanru and others also changed slightly, and they didn't know what was going on. He asked slowly, "What happened to make my father-in-law so flustered?" Father-in-law, don't panic, speak slowly. ”

The next moment, Wang Chengen sighed and said, "Several adults, Wei Zhongxian must have known about being killed on the way to Beijing, right?"

Facing the inquiry, Han Yi snorted coldly. Zhou Yanru and the others first flashed a trace of inadvertent joy on their faces, and then disappeared immediately.

Wang Chengen sighed and continued: "Now this matter, although it has not yet been discussed by the early court, it can be said to have shocked the government and the opposition. For hundreds of years, although there have been countless storms. But a case of this magnitude is also rare. After His Majesty learned about it, he was furious, and not only ordered the outer court to investigate strictly, but also ordered the Dongchang and Jinyi guards under the supervision of the inner court to also investigate secretly. ”

But not long after the order, His Majesty was still a little uneasy for some reason, and ordered the factory guards to control the information collected at the border over the years. and all the information on the movements at the border in recent days. All tune in and check it out for yourself! ”

"The result is ......" Speaking of this, Wang Chengen's face showed a bitter face: "As a result, no one expected that the intelligence materials that Your Majesty wanted to find were all lost overnight, how they were lost, when they were lost, and why they were lost, no one can know."

Stab!

Han Yi, Zhou Yanru and the others gasped when they heard this.

After half a ring, Han Yi raised his eyebrows and asked lightly: "Your Majesty must be even more angry when he learns of such a situation, right?"

"If that's the case, then our family and the inner court will be more at ease. But when His Majesty heard the news, not only was he not angry, but his face sank like water, and he did not say anything. Now Your Majesty's appearance is probably a precursor to the Great Purge and Thunderous Fury! Wang Chengen smiled bitterly.

After saying this, Wang Chengen bowed again and again: "After inviting a few adults to go in, I will help our family and others say a few more kind words."

Seeing Wang Chengen like this, I don't know what I thought, Zhou Yanru suddenly laughed hiddenly. After helping Wang Chengen, who was still bowing and saluting, he comforted him in a deep voice: "Father-in-law doesn't have to be like this, I will do my best."

Several members of the cabinet entered the emperor's study one after another, and Wang Chengen saw that there were no outsiders, and the panicked look on his face disappeared immediately. All the competition before was just him acting in front of outsiders!

When he was young, Zhu Zilong pretended to be inside, but he really roared, and countless eunuchs and ministers inside and outside were frightened and knelt down to ask for guilt.

When Zhu Zilong, the emperor's doppelganger, seemed to be a little angry, Han Yi stood up and reported in that aging and weak voice: "Your Majesty is angry, it is already like this, no matter how angry you are, it will no help, it will only anger Your Majesty's body." In such a situation, it is important to arrest the murderer in time to show the majesty of the court. ”

is as loyal as Han Yi is a centrist, in fact, he has long seen that Wei Zhongxian is not pleasing to the eye, and he has something to say at this time.

The subtext is that the focus is on showing the majesty of the imperial court, but not Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Zilong looked at these things one by one, and said with a sneer: "The case is naturally to be investigated quickly, however, the crime of dereliction of duty and negligence of some courtiers must also be investigated, tomorrow morning, you should prepare first!" ”

Hearing the cottage emperor Zhu Zilong say this, the bodies of several cabinet ministers trembled.

Next!

In the early dynasty, the officials were silent, and the atmosphere was very wrong.

At the suggestion of a cabinet minister, a pale-faced middle-aged courtier suddenly knelt forward a few steps, and then shouted: "The minister is guilty!" Please also punish Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Zilong sat on the dragon seat and looked towards the source of the sound, but found that the person who took the initiative to confess his guilt was the prefect near the place of the incident.

Generally speaking, the prefect is not eligible to enter the early dynasty, but when this happens, it is a special case.

Seeing that the prefect near the place of the incident was taking the initiative to confess, Zhu Zilong thought for a while, and the reason was already clear in his heart.

When Zhu Zilong was silently thinking, the prefect was already kowtowing profusely: "Wei Changgong died in the jurisdiction of Weichen, yes, it was the minister's negligence in taking precautions, and the instability under his rule caused such a big case, the minister failed His Majesty's holy hope, and the responsibility was heavy, and he didn't dare to shirk the slightest responsibility, only, only ask His Majesty to punish him!"

"Hmph, you're smart." After snorting coldly, Zhu Zilong whispered: "Come on, hand him over to Dali Temple for punishment, all the blame." Everything is strict! ”

In the next minute, Zhu Zilong still seemed to be angry. Once again, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were severely scolded, and then after ordering the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple to solve the case within a time limit, they no longer dealt with other matters, and just shook their hands and left.

Just when the officials thought that the early dynasty had passed, another eunuch ran out of it.

announced the decree loudly, and dismissed a large number of Donglin Party officials who could have anything to do with this matter with Zhu Zilong's holy decree. As well as the promotion of a large number of positions and numbers of party officials in other provinces!

For a while, the officials looked at each other. A few are happy, a few are worried, but there is nothing to say!

And Zhu Zilong, who returned to the study in the palace, snorted lightly and said to the several eunuch chiefs standing in front of him: "These days, the news around me has been leaked out repeatedly, and it has been banned repeatedly. What's the use of waiting for you? If it weren't for the fact that he cooperated with the acting, he would still have to atone for his sins, and he would have to deal with it strictly! ”

In a word, the eunuchs and chief eunuchs were frightened, and one after another knelt and kowtowed to the competition, calling them guilty. There was even blood on his forehead!

When these individuals kowtowed and almost fainted, Zhu Zilong's eyes were blazing, staring at them tightly, and he said slowly with a hint of subtext: "If Dongchang is still the same as before, I still remember that during the Chenghua period, I built a yamen called Xichang. Wait for self-reflection, huh! ”

As soon as the word Xichang came out, the faces of the people below suddenly turned a little pale-
