Chapter 225: Don't Jump, Be an Honest Fighter for Me (Part 2)
"Wen Tiren, this is going to jump! even hooked up with Zhou Yanru. Zhu Youzhen sneered.
There are few real imperial parties in the court, but Zhu Youzhen knows the movements of the court well, not through officials, but through many Jinyi Wei secret agents.
After more than a year of operation, many secret agents have developed in the homes of the courtiers and among the officials and clerks of various yamen. These people receive a salary from the Jinyi Guard, and their main task is to report the movements of the officials upwards. All kinds of information will be collected in the East Factory, which will analyze and archive it, and wait for the emperor to consult it at any time.
Wen Tiren conspired with Zhou Yanru several times, and then the two of them acted at the same time to impeach other other in the cabinet, which naturally couldn't hide the eyes of Jinyiwei's secret agent. Zhu Youzhen easily concluded that the two hooked up.
In the previous life, Wen Tiren impeached Qian Qianyi for forming a party for personal gain in order to enter the cabinet, which made Zhu Youzhen, who was somewhat disgusted with the Donglin Party at that time, remove Qian Qianyi, and almost all the ministers in the court spoke for Qian Qianyi, only Zhou Yanru asked Zhu Youzhen to make his own decision and not have to listen to the courtiers.
Zhu Youzhen was very happy at the time, so he listened to his heart and drove Qian Qianyi away. It was naturally right to drive away Qian Qianyi, and Zhou Yanru's actions at that time also made Zhu Youzhen happy, thinking that this was an upright person who did not like to form gangs, and he was obviously close to the Donglin Party, but he did not speak to Qian Qianyi, which made Zhu Youzhen appreciate it at that time.
Now it seems that Zhou Yanru is really upright, he clearly realizes that if Qian Qianyi enters the cabinet, he will inevitably overpower himself with the support of the Donglin Party, and it is extremely difficult for him to become the first auxiliary general, and only by driving away Qian Qianyi can he have the hope of dominating the cabinet.
And Zhou Yanru also got his wish, and with the silent cooperation of Wen Tiren, he moved down Qian Qianyi, and Wen Tiren both entered the cabinet, and because of his identity as the champion, he ranked in front of Wen Tiren in the cabinet and became the first assistant. But Zhou Yanru didn't expect that Wen Tiren, who was originally an "ally", would soon be backstabbed at him, and he was driven out of the court by Wen Tiren not long after.
Sure enough, there is inertia, and now these two people have joined forces again and launched an attack on the cabinet elders!
Now the Manchu officials all think that Wen Tiren is an imperial party, but Zhu Youzhen does not trust Wen Tiren, because this is a guy who only knows how to fight for power and profit, and he has no prestige in the court, and he cannot do things seriously, such a person is only suitable as a thug, not suitable for being the first assistant.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen has no intention of letting Wen Tiren take the position.
Now Wen Tiren's gang has actually set off a court dispute, so Zhu Youzhen is a little angry, and decided to beat this guy, so he ordered someone to pass Cao Huachun to see him.
"Quickly go and check Wen Tiren's black material, you can use some means." Zhu Youzhen commanded.
"The old slave obeys." Cao Huachun said.
In the secret files of the East Factory, there was some information about Wen Tiren, which Cao Huachun personally checked, but did not find anything useful. In fact, the monitoring of the courtiers has only been more than a year, and it is impossible to find too many.
"Go to a few people, secretly arrest Wen Tiren's henchmen and servants for interrogation, and be sure to force them to find out useful things." Cao Huachun said coldly.
That night, several Dongchang agents infiltrated a house, arrested an old servant in Wen Tiren's mansion, and after torture to extract a confession, they finally got something useful.
Early the next morning, Cao Huachun came to the Qianqing Palace and handed over the confession to Zhu Youzhen.
After Zhu Youzhen saw it, he smiled, with this thing, he could make Wen Tiren enter the pavilion and break his dream. If you don't have a chance to enter the cabinet, you won't toss anymore, and you can honestly be a thug for me!
"Try to throw this thing to the imperial history of the Donglin Party line." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.
As for how Cao Huachun got this thing, Zhu Youzhen didn't ask, he believed that Cao Huachun would clean it up.
......
In the evening, Mao Shilong had just returned home from the yamen, and the housekeeper came to him with a letter.
"Master, in the afternoon, someone threw a letter in the house."
"Who sent it?" Mao Shilong took it casually, looked at the envelope, and did not make any payment.
"I didn't see clearly, someone wrapped it in a stone and threw it into the house." Butler Road.
Mao Shilong thought about it, took the letter to the study, cut the envelope with a knife, took out a piece of paper, and laughed after reading it.
In the evening, Mao Shilong came to Cheng Jiming's mansion again and showed the letter to Cheng Jiming.
"Someone is secretly throwing in your house, who will do it?" Cheng Ji said suspiciously.
"My lord, we don't care who did it, Your Majesty Wen Tiren is arrogant, I don't know how many people I have offended." Mao Shilong said with a smile, "Now Wen Tiren is jumping up and down, with the idea of entering the cabinet, with this letter, you can drive him out of the court." ”
Cheng Ji ordered: "Okay, launch more imperial history, and jointly impeach Wen Tiren!" ”
In Li Yanzhi's matter, Wen Tiren offended the Donglin Party a lot, and now that he has a handle, he naturally won't let go of this guy easily!
After Mao Shilong returned home, he immediately began to write an impeachment note.
The next day, I went to court.
“...... Wen Tiren, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, Gengzi year, during the period of filial piety, and the concubine Dunlun, gave birth to a son, which is a great unfilial act...... Wen Tiren is morally corrupt, what face does he have in the court? The minister requested that he be removed from his official position and investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law. ”
In the court, when Mao Shilong read out the impeachment recital, the whole court shook, and Wen Tiren fell into an ice cave.
Is Mao Shilong's impeachment wrong, naturally not, this matter is true, but how can Mao Shilong know his own affairs? Wen Tiren was puzzled, and his heart was full of panic.
The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and it was not allowed to keep filial piety for his father and his wife and concubine. Ordinary people are just ordinary people, as officials of the imperial court, once they are exposed, it will be a great stain. Not to mention entering the cabinet, I am afraid that I will not be able to gain a foothold in the court.
"Such unfilial piety, how can you have the face to be in the court, please dismiss Wen Tiren!" Several imperial historians followed Mao Shilong and launched a crusade against Wen Tiren.
"Wen Tiren, what Mao Shilong said is true?" Zhu Youzhen looked at Wen Tiren with a smile and asked.
Looking at the emperor's gaze, Wen Tiren gave birth to a glimmer of hope in his heart, I am the emperor's party, and the emperor will definitely protect me!
"Back to Your Majesty, Mao Shilong is talking nonsense, there is no such thing! This is obviously because the minister offended Mao Shilong and them some time ago because of the matter of Li Yanzhi, the general soldier of Fujian, and they framed the minister! Wen Tiren stood up from the train and shouted loudly.
"Slander?" Mao Shilong sneered, "Whether it is slander or not, you know it in your heart, as long as you send someone to investigate." ”
"Hmph, you traitorous villains, don't try to frame me!" Wen Tiren confronted each other and scolded loudly.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask the Inspectorate to send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly." Seeing Wen Tiren's dead duck's hard mouth, Mao Shilong couldn't help but be angry, and asked for advice.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wen is the imperial history of the right capital, in order to avoid suspicion, it is not appropriate to let the Inspectorate inquire about this matter, for the sake of fairness, it is best to hand it over to Jinyi Wei to investigate the case." After taking a deep look at Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru stood up and said to Zhu You.
Zhou Yanru is really affectionate and righteous to Wen Tiren, but it is exactly what I want.
Zhu Youzhen smiled: "It's up to Zhou Shilang, and Jinyiwei is in charge of this matter." ”
Mao Shilong and others had the heart to oppose it, but they didn't know how to say it, they couldn't say that they didn't believe in Jinyiwei, that is, they didn't trust the emperor. However, Wen Tiren's hometown is in Zhejiang, and it will take at least half a year to investigate the case, Huang Liji's fall is imminent, and the cabinet will be reorganized soon, no matter what, Wen Tiren will not be able to catch up.
