The three ministers who impeached Zhou Yanru have been kneeling under the platform of the Wenhua Palace, and they are all extremely ashamed to hear the emperor's merciless refutation and clear attitude of supporting and defending Zhou Yanru.

Shaanxi Dao tried Shi Wei Jingyuan howled and cried: "The emperor is so protective of Zhou Yanru, this is to raise tigers, such greedy moths are not removed, and my Ming Dynasty is not far away." ”

As soon as the words came out, the entire Wenhua Hall suddenly became silent, and all the ministers stared at this Shaanxi Dao Imperial History in shock.

Chongzhen's face was beating rapidly, and his face was hideous and terrible for a moment, and he suddenly stood up, grabbed the jade paperweight on the imperial case, and fell on Wei Jingyuan's head with a "snap".

Wei Jingyuan, who was raising his head and howling, was caught off guard, and suddenly his head broke and blood flowed, and he immediately stopped howling, and looked up at Chongzhen in a demented daze.

The entire Wenhua Hall was filled with Chongzhen's roaring voice: "To report that others are corrupt and bribed, and dereliction of duty, you must first be upright, and you can impeach others without despicable and corrupt behavior." ”

Chongzhen stared at Wei Jingyuan viciously and said: "Cao Wenheng, the governor of Jiliao, gave you a hundred Dongzhu, three hundred mink skins, fifty catties of ginseng, and three thousand taels of silver. Xin'an Wei commanded Yang Guangxian to bribe 5,000 taels of silver, and asked you to impeach Wan Yougong, the eunuch who monitored the Xin'an Copper Mine, for embezzling mining taxes and killing miners, but is there such a thing? ”

Chongzhen patted the royal case and continued to roar: "Yes, and it is well documented. A righteous person must first correct himself, and what face does you, a wicked person, impeach others? ”

An emperor who appeared with a peaceful face has become sharp and sour today, giving people a sense of moodiness. The ministers of the Wenhua Hall were all frightened, and they carefully held their breath. for fear that the emperor would turn his anger on himself.

Chongzhen's words shot at Wei Jingyuan's heart one by one, the most secret thing he thought he had done. The emperor grasped it clearly, and in an instant, Wei Jingyuan fell into the ice cellar, trembling all over, and his whole body was paralyzed and collapsed in the main hall.

Chongzhen turned a blind eye and continued to roar: "The Ming Dynasty is my world, everything is up to me, whoever is guilty and who is not guilty will be judged by me!" You dare to speak against the truth in a small trial history. In vain, who gave you such a bold amount. The decree was passed on, and the Shaanxi Provincial Examination Imperial Shi Wei Jingyuan was dismissed and questioned, and it was included in the Jinyi Wei Town Fu Division for review. ”

The person who entered the Zhenfu Division was a dead end nine times out of ten, and even if he was lucky enough to come out alive, he would become a waste, and Wei Jingyuan, who was paralyzed on the ground, suddenly fell into a coma.

Seeing Wei Jingyuan being ridden out of the hall by the brocade-clothed Wei Ti like a dead fish, the other two officials who impeached Zhou Yanru lay on the ground and trembled, afraid that Chongzhen would forward his anger on them.

vented a pass, Chongzhen seems to return to normal. Looking down at the two speech officials who were still kneeling, he said: "It is the duty of the speech official to hear about it, but it is not allowed by the Ming Law Firm to deliberately misinterpret and frame it. will not be tolerated, the two of them will do it themselves. ”

Yu Yinggui, Feng Yuanbiao, Lu Zhenfei and other officials were secretly instructed today. concentrated on impeaching the first assistant Zhou Yanru, but in the end, it was a failure to steal chickens......

Heard the words of Emperor Chongzhen's admonition. Obviously, they are not ready to continue to pursue this matter, Feng Yuanbiao and Lu Zhenfei are like Feng Lunyin. Hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him and returned to the train. Wen Tiren stood in the train and observed the progress of the situation, a series of impeachments in the court today, on the surface, many officials and officials impeached Zhou Yanru, which had nothing to do with him, in fact, this matter was secretly promoted by himself after planning for a long time, and the purpose was of course to try to bring down Zhou Yanru in one fell swoop.

Now it seems that Zhou Yanru made full use of the emperor's favor and skillfully poured the disaster on his side.

This incident not only had the effect of bringing down Zhou Yanru, but almost set himself on fire, and the two sides competed in this round, and they were defeated.

Wen Tiren knew that Zhou Yanru would not give up and would definitely create an incident, biting himself back, maybe the ministers of his own family would be planted behind.

At this court meeting, the emperor seems to still favor Zhou Yanru, hmph, the coming day is long, so you will be arrogant for a while, it is better to avoid the edge for the time being, Wen Tiren frowned and thought darkly.

Wen Tiren turned his gaze to Min Hongxue, the secretary of the ministry, and signaled him not to act rashly and wait and see how the situation changed.

Min Hongxue was recommended by Wen Tiren to become the secretary of the ministry, so he obeyed Wen Tiren and was a descendant of the Wen faction.

In the Ministry of Officials, everything was bought to return to Wen Tiren, and the fault was blamed on Zhou Yanru, turning the Ministry into a bridgehead for the Wen faction to win over officials at all levels.

Zhou Yanru's henchmen were like Wang Jican, Yushi Liu Lingyu, and Zhou Kangeng hated Min Hongxue to the core, and they were impeached one after another.

Based on the same reason, Emperor Chongzhen also adopted a tolerant attitude towards this minister of the Wen faction, so that the Zhou and Wen factions could maintain a balanced confrontation.

Wen Tiren's worries really came true, and Hua Yuncheng, a member of the military department in the train, came out of the class and knelt down under the platform and played loudly: "Long live, the minister wants to participate in the Dongge University Scholar Cabinet Deputy Wen Tiren and the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Min Hong Xuepeng are in a collusion to expel dissidents." ”

Chongzhen couldn't see joy or anger on his face, looked at Hua Yuncheng and said, "Hua Aiqing is playing." ”

"The cabinet minister Wen Tiren and the power of the Ministry of Officials, Min Hongxue of the Ministry of Officials is only willing to accept Wen Tiren's intentions, clues breathing, the head and end of the organ, the door to ask for life, the night is normal, and the subordinate ministers are willing to be the officials of the undertaking, and the dethroned handle is only for revenge. Two days ago, Pingdu Zhizhou and Pingdu Prefecture Flood Battalion jointly played a victory, when Kong Youde's rebellion captured Dengzhou, Feng Zhen, the garrison of the Zhou Flood Battalion, was ordered by Governor Sun Yuanhua to blow up the ice of the Sailor Division and transfer the Dengzhou Sailor Warship. However, Wen Tiren shelved this report for his own selfishness, and his sinister intentions are self-evident, and he asked the emperor to remove this black sheep, so that the merits of the meritorious soldiers abroad would not be buried. Hua Yuncheng said angrily.

Chongzhen's face was gloomy again, starting from the autumn of the fourth year of Chongzhen, first Dalinghe City was besieged by Houjin soldiers and horses, and then there was a fiasco in the Battle of Changshan, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and other thieves from all over Shaanxi went to Shanxi to make trouble, and now Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and other former Liaodong army generals suddenly rebelled and captured Dengzhou City in one fell swoop.

Pile upon pile, he desperately wanted uplifting news. Suddenly, when he heard Hua Yuncheng report that the warship of the Dengzhou City Naval Division had been transferred safe and sound, his spirit was indeed invigorated, and then a nameless fire rushed to his head, so the cabinet dared to delay and not report such a major military matter, what else could not be done!

Chongzhen first turned his gaze fiercely to the commander of Jinyiwei, Luo Yangxing, and seemed to blame him for the cabinet's delay and failure to report.

This is obviously a fight between the two factions of the cabinet, and Luo Yangxing is naturally suffering from the pond fish! Jin Yiwei is not omnipotent, and they have no right to investigate the book of entering the cabinet, so Luo Yangxing can only be full of grievances and secretly slander the cabinet boss.

Chongzhen's eyes were coldly aimed at Wen Tiren and said, "Wen Aiqing, I only ask you if you have any concealment of the paperwork?" ”

It turned out that Chen heard that the document was first transmitted to the Ministry of War, and after receiving this document, Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was overjoyed.

As the secretary of the military department still has some strategic vision, from a strategic point of view, without the Dengzhou Navy Division, Kong Youde's rebellious army will have less back roads, once besieged by the imperial army in Dengzhou City, it is a dead end, and the imperial court has mastered the Dengzhou Naval Division warship, it is possible to strike at the Dengzhou City Rebellion through the sea, and indirectly hit the confidence of the Dengzhou Rebellion.

Liang Tingdong immediately submitted this document from Pingdu Prefecture to the cabinet, asking the cabinet to submit the cabinet ticket to the emperor.

At that time, the minister on duty in the cabinet was Wen Tiren, he naturally understood the weight contained in this instrument, the imperial court invested nearly 500,000 taels of silver in the Dengzhou Navy every year, and now Dengzhou City has fallen, and all the warships are safe and sound, which means that the Dengzhou Navy Division will be redistributed, and whoever this big fat meat falls into will have a steady stream of money.

Wen Tiren is expected to have a fierce competition around the ownership of Dengzhou Sailors! Therefore, he intended to put this news into the imperial review according to the regular vote, so that the Manchu Dynasty and the ministers of civil and military affairs would use their own means.

In fact, he had learned the news yesterday that Chen Suowen of Pingdu Prefecture had sent 10,000 taels of silver, the purpose of which was to request that the Dengzhou Navy Warship belong to the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp, and promised that if the matter was completed, there would be 10,000 taels of silver every year.

A bribe of 10,000 taels of silver is also very important in the eyes of a high-ranking official like Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren was a little hesitant, originally like what Chen had heard and the garrison officer Feng Jian who had successfully transferred the Dengzhou Naval Division's warship, and other petty officials could not enter his sight at all.

But these two are a little different, he remembers that at the first court meeting last year, the emperor praised Feng Jian, the garrison officer of Pingdu City, and left a deep impression on himself, and Wen Tiren thought that this young garrison officer could socialize.

Now that the other party took the initiative to send it to the door and offered such generous conditions, Wen Tiren naturally would not refuse, and personally sent the contact person Pan Zhaoying to the door of the study and told him to go back and wait for the news.

Pan Zhaoying naturally understood the meaning, and he was naturally very excited to catch up with this hot big man in a short period of time and successfully complete the commander's entrustment.

Hearing Chongzhen's reprimanding words, Wen Tiren hurriedly went out of work and knelt down, and said in fear: "The emperor Shengming, how dare the ministers of the military state dare to play child's play, after yesterday noon, the minister received this document, and immediately drafted the ticket, and on the same day, he followed many Shangshu into the imperial review, and now someone framed Weichen in public and shelved the document, according to the minister's opinion, this person is ill-intentioned, specifically framing the minister......"

Chongzhen was a little impatient, waved his hand to stop Wen Tiren, turned his head and asked Wang Chengen, who was standing behind the imperial case: "Wang Daban, can there be such a thing!" ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt down: "There is indeed this matter, the slave and maid will submit this chapter to the imperial case, but yesterday the Holy Communion was not safe, and the slave and maid did not dare to disturb the emperor casually, this matter is the fault of the slave and maid, please punish the emperor!" ”

Chongzhen sighed, his face darkened, he vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as Wen Tiren and Wang Chengen said, and the situation was not as dirty as Hua Yuncheng said.

I casually found the copy of the music book from a pile of musicals, and opened it to look closely, and my gloomy face was quickly replaced by joy.!! (To be continued......)
