Chapter 158: The Prologue to the End
Prologue to the end of Chapter 158
Almost in the short morning, the pieces piled up like a mountain on the desk of the cabinet.
The three princes flipped over one by one, and it was as plain as water.
They see anger from here, the anger of a lot of people.
Cen Qian's unknown injustice, Nie Zhen's false accusation, and many grievances.
These twists and turns all tell the same fact, that is, Li Zhaozhong has violated the laws of the imperial court and must be severely punished.
It seems that the turmoil in the court has just passed, but the dark tide of anger of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs has just surged.
Behind these movements, there are several huge figures.
Zhaowu Hou, Jianwu Hou, Jingbian Hou, three princes, five princes, and six departments, Dali Temple.
In Beijing, the government almost set off a storm of "overthrowing Li".
These people will not forget that in Li Zhaozhong's hands, I don't know how much blood is washing his dirty palms, Li Feng, Cen Qian, and many unknown people.
Cabinet, fell into a brief lull.
After a while, Taifu raised his eyes, and his eyes were shining, "What do you think?"
Taifu was in charge of the court's political affairs, and he glanced at the concert, "I didn't expect Li Zhaozhong to offend so many people, he is really in debt." ”
In the morning court, the last straw that crushed the camel was Lin Zhaonan's kneeling, and his voice sounded in the court, "Lin Zhaonan in the imperial history requests that the supervision of the imperial history Li Zhaozhong be severely punished!"
At that moment, everyone saw that Li Zhaozhong's body was crumbling, the six departments were not allowed to him, Dali Temple was not allowed to him, Luoyuan Mansion was not allowed to him, and in the end, it was Yushitai who abandoned him.
And then what was sent was Li Feng's blood letter, as well as Nie Zhen's defense recital.
Li Feng's blood, red piercing eyes, this letter was like a bowl of cold water in the original boiling pot, which calmed everyone down.
Li Feng recounted the torture he endured in prison in the recital, and he did not defend anything, but this wordless irony shocked most people.
Finally, it was Li Feng's words, "Never die!"
Death impeachment!
In the court of the Great Zhou, impeachment was a very common thing, because no matter what you see, you can play it on the table, and you can also impeach someone.
But it's like work, and that's what you do every day, and impeachment is just your own business.
However, now there are people who use their lives to impeach someone, this is death impeachment, and once the impeachment fails, it is your life and death.
Therefore, in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although many officials and imperial historians tried to impeach someone every day, or were impeached, it was like "who does not participate in the pen, and who has no participation in the name." "But the most severe, the most sacrificing thing to forget about death is, impeachment.
It's a real bombshell.
Every death impeachment heralds the coming of a storm that shakes the court.
Li Zhaozhong has been abandoned by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and now, the death impeachment of the prisoners in the prison of the Yushitai has also been taken out, which shows that there is still a force in the Yushitai, and it is a force in the middle and lower classes, which is also secretly opposing him.
The crown prince announced his early retirement from the court, because this court meeting was destined to cause a shock in the world.
Li Zhaozhong returned to the Yushitai almost with a pale face.
But he felt that the eyes of the people had changed from him to the point where the awe had vanished and replaced it with a deep disdain, and that the "own people" whom he had painstakingly gathered for a month were all gathered in his office.
These people are not stupid, Li Zhaozhong's status is precarious at the moment, once he falls, the status of himself and others will also plummet in an instant.
What's even more terrifying is that will his enemies pick up the grass and beat the rabbits, even letting go of himself and others?
"Master Li, what should we do?"
"Yes, those bunnies, they used to be submissive when they saw adults, but now they dare to go against adults!"
"That's it, Master Li, what do you think we should do?"
In this noisy voice, Li Zhaozhong was mocking himself in his heart, these so-called henchmen, what kind of bastards they were, if something happened to them, these people didn't deal with it for themselves, but they were still playing music and complaining.
He slapped the table with a headache and shouted, "Don't make any noise!"
The room was silent in an instant, more than a dozen eyes stared at him in unison, Li Zhaozhong's eyelids raised, and a cold luster swept everyone, "Get out, Chen Dong, you stay!"
Of all of them, the only one who never complained was this man.
When only the two of them were left in the room, Li Zhaozhong seemed to have all his strength drained, he sat down on the chair with his butt slumped, and muttered in a voice, "You say, what should I do?"
Chen Dong did not speak, Li Zhaozhong's political strength was completely inversely proportional to his strength in punishment, and he lacked political sensitivity.
And his opponent knows him very well, he is a tiger with teeth and claws, and he has no force, so that no one dares to provoke him, but he is just a paper tiger.
Force, resourcefulness is insufficient.
Under Qin Yu's arrangement, Li Zhaozhong and the six departments of the imperial court all fell out with the moderate faction of Yushitai, and he also fell out with the boss of Yushitai, Yushizhong Lin Zhaonan.
He thought that he could ascend to the throne of Zhongcheng in the imperial history with his own strength, but Qin Yu, a clever chess player, blocked all his retreats step by step.
And until now, Li Zhaozhong still doesn't know who his opponent is?
And he didn't realize that it was this henchman he trusted, who was actually a secret stake arranged by Qin Yu.
He thought for a moment and said softly, "What do you want?"
Li Zhaozhong raised his eyes and looked at him.
Chen Dong said: "If the adults want to restore the power of the peak before, it is now impossible, and if the adults want to save their lives, they still have the strength to fight." ”
"What are you talking about?" Li Zhaozhong's eyes flashed with excitement, what is power, only life is the most important thing, if he saves his life, he may have supreme power again, he is a smart person, he naturally knows how to choose now.
"Of course I want to save my life, you say, what should I do?"
Chen Dong said eloquently, "My lord, don't look at the menacing civil and military forces in the court this time, even Lord Zhongcheng has slandered you in every way, but they are not of the same heart, and adults can break them individually." ”
"How?" asked Li Zhaozhong hopefully.
"First of all, what the adults have to do is to reconcile with the civil and military affairs of the imperial court, the adults hold most of the officials of the six ministries in their hands, and the adults can kill one batch and release the other, this is for everyone to see.
Now the ministers of the court are just impeaching the adults, and the adults are still the supervisors of the imperial history of the imperial history platform, and the adults are still in the hands of the case of Dingjun Mountain, this is the adult's hole card!"
Li Zhaozhong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly continued: "And then?"
Chen Dong said: "Right now, the courtiers are dissatisfied with the adults because the adults are too much, and the adults can now give in and release the main culprits in the Dingjun Mountain case, Nie Zhen and Li Feng, and others."
For the six departments of the imperial court, the officials of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Officials can release a group, and the officials of the other four departments can kill a group, release a group, and divide and disintegrate the six departments.
For Lord Zhongcheng, the Lord has already rejected him, so it is impossible for the Lord to make peace with him, so the Lord will rely on the existing strength in our hands to confront Lord Lin. ”
Li Zhaozhong nodded again and again when he heard this, he patted Chen Dong on the shoulder and said, "You are still smart." ”
At the same moment, Qin Yu smiled and said to Qi Tai: "Li Zhaozhong is too politically sensitive, so he will definitely believe in Chen Dong's words."
Among the six departments, the officials of the three princes are mostly in the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, and the officials of Dali Temple are just a pretense, and the officials of the three princes in the other four departments will also be released.
Li Zhaozhong would not know the significance of his move, he did this, on the other hand, he tacitly acquiesced that Yushitai was indeed engaged in unjust, false and wrongful cases, and his approach was wrong, he wanted to reconcile with the Manchu civil and military forces, but in doing so, he was giving people a handle.
Lin Zhaonan will not interfere with Li Zhaozhong's actions, he will watch in secret, and when Li Zhaozhong finishes this matter, what awaits him is a bigger wave of counterattacks.
At that time, the Li Zhaozhong line of the Yushitai will be completely suppressed, and although the Lin Zhaonan line will raise its head, the strength of the Yushitai will be greatly damaged, and we will have preliminary results this time. ”
Qi Tai nodded and agreed, "What about Tonghou Chen Qian?"
Chen Qian was Li Zhaozhong's ally and Qin Yu's mortal enemy, Qi Tai didn't believe that Qin Yu would let Chen Qian go so easily.
"Chen Qian?" a cold smile rose at the corner of Qin Yu's mouth, "Chen Qian's sin will naturally be added to the twists and turns, and his appearance is that the military affairs of Dingjun Mountain are almost paralyzed.
The generals of Dingjun Mountain have been examined by him almost once, can he hide from such a crime?"
Qi Tai glanced at Qin Yu, his heart was shocked, and he secretly smiled bitterly, "Chen Qian and Li Zhaozhong may not know what terrifying potential this young man they provoked. ”
He thought for a moment and said softly: "Then the remaining positions in the imperial court should be the object of competition among the major forces. ”
"Hmm. Qin Yu nodded, "Don't look at the many people who will be released, but it is an unjust fact that these people are biting their colleagues, and if these people are interested, they will automatically resign."
The remaining vacancy is a big cake, at this time, I don't know how many people are gearing up, but I pity Su Lao, he is a secretary of the ministry, but he wants to break through among these many forces, and he doesn't want to offend people, and he wants to do things well, which is really difficult for him. ”
Qi Tai smiled, "That old man ......"
