Chapter 464: Arrested

Above the main hall, Chongzhen was also looking forward to ending today's morning dynasty as soon as possible, and Emperor Chongzhen had already felt that the ministers were in a different state of mind from the past. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play." Emperor Chongzhen really hadn't been able to dodge, and an imperial envoy stood up and said loudly.

The emperor of the Zhu family gave the imperial history a great right to speak, so that they would not be convicted for their words, so that they could dare to speak out, and correct the deviation of the entire imperial court. The original intention of this design is good, but the reality makes the emperor sad, it is people who have selfishness, and the selfishness of the imperial historians makes them want to improve their status in the court, so they try their best to obtain a higher reputation, and the best way to improve their reputation is to work against the emperor, anyway, the emperor said that they would not be punished for their remarks.

Therefore, there will be a confrontation between the emperor and the imperial historians at every court meeting. But the imperial history is only criticized for the sake of criticism, and never proposes a solution to the problem for the emperor, and the imperial historians are not only for fame but also for profit. They often defect to the bigwigs of different factions in the DPRK and China, and become the vanguard of the party struggle in the court.

This time, Goshi stood up and did not attack the opposite side of the court, because they found a common enemy, that is, the eunuchs. Emperor Chongzhen has been more and more disappointed with the ministers of the court and the central government in the past few years since he ascended the throne, and instead relied on his own servants and eunuchs, and the ministers always wanted to find an opportunity to give the eunuchs a fatal blow and restore the state of the eunuchs with their tails between their legs when Chongzhen first ascended the throne. This time Zhang Chu was assassinated, and then shouted that it was a great opportunity to clear the monarch's side, how could the ministers let it go. As the vanguard, the imperial historians did not point the finger at Cao Huachun, the leader of the eunuchs, at once, but strategically aimed at Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"I participated in the Jinyi Guard's command to make Luo Yangxing, disregarding the law of the country, arbitrarily and arbitrarily abusing power, murdering the generals of the court, causing a rebellion, please Your Majesty issued a decree to severely punish Luo Yangxing." The ministers all knew that without the emperor's will, Luo Yangxing said nothing, and he didn't dare to make a black hand on Zhang Chu. But they deliberately cleared the emperor and did not implicate the emperor in this matter, and it was also a kind of temptation for the emperor, to see to what extent the emperor supported Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and dared to admit that this assassination was the emperor's idea, but with their understanding of the emperor, Emperor Chongzhen never dared to let himself take responsibility for what went wrong.

The judgment of the ministers was correct, and Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to refute the participation of the imperial history, let alone say that he came up with the idea of assassination. I didn't think about how to answer Yushi's words for a while.

The ministers were all good at observing words and feelings, and immediately found that the emperor's attitude was not resolutely on the side of Jinyiwei.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister seconded the proposal." One by one, the ministers immediately joined the camp of the crusade against Jinyiwei.

The emperor did not speak, and the ministers rarely agreed on the same opinion, and Luo Yangxing in the main hall did not dare to defend himself. Don't look at their mouths full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, these civil servants are more vicious than anyone else, and Zhang Xuanke, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was beaten to death by civil officials in the main hall.

"Please send an order to investigate Luo Yangxing immediately." "Immediately ordered." At this time, there is no distinction between the court and the court, who is talking about it. As soon as the ministers pay us, you will do it, and if you don't do it, you will be a faint king.

"Someone will take Luo Yangxing down and put him in prison and hand it over to the department for investigation." In the end, Emperor Chongzhen did not resist the pressure of the ministers, and ordered Luo Yangxing to be arrested.

"According to the Ningbo prefect, it is not only Luo Yangxing who participated in this conspiracy, but also Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the Great Interior, please investigate and deal with it together." The ministers had reached their initial goal, and then pressed closer. Cao Huachun is their ultimate goal, and if Cao Huachun is taken down together, then the power of the eunuchs in Ouchi will also collapse.

"The matter about Cao Huachun involves the court, and I will send someone to review it. "Emperor Chongzhen relied on his last struggle, Cao Huachun is now the emperor's arm, if Cao Huachun is taken down, the emperor really has no one to use.

"Your Majesty should put the country's society first, and you can't break the country's law for a minion." For a while, the voices in the hall persuading the emperor not to be emotional came and went, and after a while, Cao Huachun was said to be the culprit of the disaster to the country and the people, and it was simply not enough to kill the people.

Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to arrest Cao Huachun and wait for treatment. He secretly hoped to be able to fool through the final treatment, raising his hand high and gently dropping it. This emperor still needs Cao Huachun to help him deal with those ministers.

"Cao Huachun and others will be punished, but Zhang Chu's rebellion will also be quelled, what good way do you ministers?" The emperor thinks that I have won both Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing, you have to give me a solution to the problem.

When the emperor asked, the entire hall was immediately silent. The ministers all looked at their noses and kept silent, they were good at dealing with the traitors in the court, and it was not their business to quell the rebellion.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that everyone was silent, so he had to name him: "Wen Shoufu, what do you say?" ”

"In the eyes of the old minister, this matter is easy to solve, that Zhang Chu's rebellion is mainly because of the murder of Cao Huachun and others, His Majesty only needs to issue a decree to make it clear that Cao Huachun and others have been arrested, and the court will definitely give him justice. After reassuring him and letting him return to Liaodong to continue the fight, Jin will be fine. Wen Tiren's mind was spinning quickly, and he thought this method was very good.

"Which minister is willing to go to Ningbo to deliver the decree?" Emperor Chongzhen felt that this plan was also feasible, and if it was successful, the court would have nothing to lose.

The ministers' heads were lowered. At this time, going to find Zhang Chuna is not much different from looking for death.

After discussing it for a long time, no minister was willing to come forward, and someone had to do it. In the end, it was the eunuchs and brocade guards in the palace who sent the edict. At this time, the ministers were not afraid that the eunuchs would bring disaster to the country and the people.

Without further ado, Emperor Chongzhen wrote an edict and persuaded Zhang Chu with kind words, stating that Luo Yanghe and Cao Huachun would be severely punished. Let Zhang Chu hurry back to Liaodong to fight Houjin. The eunuch and the brocade guard arrived in Ningbo with a feeling of anxiety.

Zhang Chu sat behind the official case in the lobby of the Ningbo prefect, listening to the eunuch reading the holy decree in a trembling voice, his face full of dissatisfaction. When the eunuch finished reading Zhang Chu and said: "That's all, the emperor has no sincerity at all at this time, although Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing have been arrested, but the emperor can release it if he wants, so how can it be done." Someone came and put everyone else in prison, leaving only this little eunuch. As soon as Zhang Chu's words fell, the security army came up and arrested the others who were coming to announce the decree.

The little eunuch who had just read the decree was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously. Did this Zhang Chu want to demonstrate against the emperor and kill him?

Zhang Chu really wasn't ready to let him go, and said: "According to the convention, to send this kind of insincere letter, you should cut off your nose or ear, what do you choose?" (To be continued.) )
