Chapter 172: Impeachment of Kang Longji

With Wu Xukuan's temperament, he will never be irritated because of a person's expression.

But when he saw Zhou An smiling at him, he became irritable.

He knew that he would definitely not be able to act smoothly today, because Zhou An would definitely scold him, Zhou An relied on his identity as not up or down, and dared to say anything, even if he said too much, the empress reprimanded him, and he could redeem it, so from the first time he saw Zhou An, Wu Xukuan knew very well that today's events were going to be full of twists and turns.

However, today's matter, Wu Xukuan is not afraid of twists and turns.

The process doesn't matter!

It's the results that matter!

Therefore, in Wu Xukuan's eyes, Zhou An at this moment is just a clown, he has no ability to reverse the general trend alone, the fundamental problem cannot be solved, and it is useless to say more.

Zhou Anzheng smiled at Wu Xukuan.

Wu Xukuan walked towards the main hall, glanced at Zhou An a few times, and at the last moment before looking away, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It was a sneer.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all entered the hall and were divided into two sides.

"Go to court!" Kang Longji stepped forward and leaned over to preach.

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!" The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all knelt on the ground and bowed to the empress, but Wu Xukuan was very coping with the gesture as always, and stood up without touching the ground with his knees.

"All the ministers are flat!" The Empress preached.

"Your Majesty." The Manchu Dynasty civil and military stood up in response.

"There is a book, but there is no book!" Kang Longji announced again.

It's all a formality, in fact, everyone knows what the court is going to discuss this morning.

"Weichen, there is a book." I saw an old figure walking out of the queue, but it was Zhang Yuwu, the secretary of the military department, who was holding the fold with both hands and hanging his head.

"Bring it in." Empress Dao.

Zhou An trotted down, took the fold in Zhang Yuwu's hand, returned to the empress, and gave the fold to the empress.

The Empress opened the recital.

This is a summary report on the situation of the Baijiang Army, which has marched all the way to Qianjing City since the Baijiang Army rebelled, and it can be said that it has been invincible, and basically has not encountered any resistance.

The night before yesterday, the Baijiang army had already arrived in Weinan County, which was 200 miles away from the capital, and set off again yesterday morning, and the latest news came back yesterday at night, and the Baijiang army had arrived in Biyang County, which was 130 miles away from the capital.

At this distance, if the Baijiang army marched without sleep, it would not take a day and a night to reach the city of Qianjing.

The situation is critical!

"Qi Qi Sheng, the 100,000 Baijiang army has now arrived in Bimon County, and it can already threaten the Jingshi...... Weichen thought that troops should be transferred from the city to quell the rebellion, and the safety of the Beijing division is the top priority, if too many troops are transferred, I am afraid that the city defense will be lost, so Weichen suggested that 20,000 Tiance troops should be mobilized out of the city to quell the rebellion, Tiance army is an elite division, although it is still not the enemy of the Baijiang army, but there are 100,000 Chuanhe troops outside the city, the Baijiang army and the Chuanhe army are 100,000 troops, it is difficult to quell the rebellion by relying on the Chuanhe army alone, but if the Tiance army can be mobilized, the two armies will join forces, and the rebellion will be suppressed! ”

Zhang Yuwu spoke very suddenly, and he said this sentence in one breath.

The empress looked at Zhang Yuwu, and then folded the music together, and said majestically: "Although the Baijiang army has many generals, but there is a Chuanhe army guarding outside the Beijing division, the Baijiang army has no ability to disturb the Beijing division, and although it is a rebel army, it is also my Dongqian people, for it, we can't always think about extermination, if you can persuade it to surrender, it is the best policy...... What Zhang Aiqing played, stay in the middle. ”

The so-called stay in the middle is to stay in the middle and not send it, temporarily put it here to the emperor, and do not discuss or approve.

The empress said very clearly, she wanted to persuade her Baijiang army to surrender, this is the best policy, if this road does not work, and then consider Zhang Yuwu's proposal.

Zhang Yuwu didn't say anything more, and retreated.

This guy seems to have come out to go through the motions.

After that, a number of courtiers jumped out to play the script, as if they were all going through the motions, and what they played was either about disaster relief, about the homeless, or about where there was a small-scale rebellion of the homeless people, which had been suppressed, and so on.

In this way, more than half an hour passed.

The empress looked very tired and exhausted.

I don't know if Wu Xukuan arranged it this way.

"On the saint, Weichen has a book!" Another minister came out of the queue and said in a sonorous voice.

This person is full of white hair, tall and thin, dressed quite "plain", the official clothes are a little shabby, looking at his appearance, that look, it gives people the feeling that he is a righteous and upright official!

He is the Imperial History of the Left Governor of the Imperial Palace, Lu Lian!

The empress didn't bother to speak, and gestured to Zhou An.

Zhou An trotted down again, took the fold in Lu Lian's hand, and trotted back, you can't run in this hall, it's a loss of etiquette, Zhou An just trotted, which is very eye-catching.

The empress took the fold handed over by Zhou An, opened it to see, and listened to Lu Lian speak.

"Holy Lord, Weichen wants to impeach the eunuch of the Inner Court Celebrant and the Seal of the Seal, Kang Longji!" Lu Lian said in a high voice.

The sudden silence of the needle drop in the main hall can be heard.

Kang Longji's face was expressionless, and his expression was unwavering, as if Lu Lian was not talking about him.

The empress looked at the folds, and the folds were written on them all of Kang Longji's crimes.

He gave Kang Longji a full list of more than 30 crimes.

It's all written in crepe, and I really can't understand it without any knowledge.

"Go on." The empress looked at the folds and said very calmly.

"Qi Shengshang, Kang Longji entered the palace when he was young, more than 90 years ago, and he served as the eunuch of the Inner Court, has been 80 years, as a eunuch, as the chief of the Inner Court, his duty is to serve the Holy Lord, Kang Longji has indeed served four generations of emperors, but in addition to his service, he has relied on the grace and trust of the Holy Lord, repeatedly offered slander to the Holy Lord, mutilated the loyal and good, and also relied on the right to criticize the red, intervened in the government and politics, formed a party for personal gain, was close to the villain and far away from the gentleman, and repeatedly did evil things!"

Lu Lian's recital is written in the crepe, but what he says is in the vernacular, because what is written is not exactly the same as what he says, he wants to expand the content in the recital, and there are not only Wenchen present, but also military generals, and he has to let everyone understand what he is saying.

"Thirteen years ago, Fang Haowu, the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, played the impeachment of Kang Longji and listed his top ten crimes, but was directly beaten back by Kang Longji with the right to criticize red, and he played right and wrong in front of the Emperor of Shendu, so that Fang Hao was not convicted and was beheaded by the whole house, which opened a precedent for the imperial historian to be convicted for his words......"

Zhou An blinked when he heard what Lu Lian said.

He knew it.

Because he knew many days ago that Lu Lian was going to impeach Kang Longji today, he checked some things about Kang Longji, and he even asked Kang Longji directly about some things.

In fact, in Kang Longji's life, except for supporting the Empress of Shendu to ascend the throne, it is a black spot, nothing else, no other black spots.

And what Lu Lian just said that Fang Hao was not killed, in fact, it was not Kang Longji who wanted to kill him, but the Empress of Shendu who wanted to kill him.

Fang Hao didn't belong to his own death.

His memora at that time was not only to impeach Kang Longji, but also to bring the Empress of Shendu in, because he mentioned Kang Longji's support for the Empress of Shendu to ascend the throne, although in the memorabilia, he did not explicitly say that the Empress of Shendu ascended the throne was unreasonable and impossible, but he actually persuaded the Empress of Shendu to abdicate and suggested that the Empress of Shendu should pass the throne to a certain prince.

Although he said that the Empress of Shendu ascended the throne was bewitched by Kang Longji, and blamed everything on Kang Longji, he also said very tactfully in persuading the Empress to abdicate, but he still angered the Empress of Shendu.

At that time, it had been less than a year since the Empress of Shendu ascended the throne, and the voices of the government and the opposition were very loud against her.

The empress killed him, it meant to make an example!

It is indeed a precedent for the imperial historian to be convicted for his words.

Fang Hao almost went down in history because of this incident...... If he hadn't been found with corrupt money when his house was raided.
