Chapter 264
Li Xiao has to face the mess in Jinan City, and Zhu Youzhen also has to face the complicated situation in the capital.
Today's situation in the capital is not very complicated, but extremely complicated. Every day there is political news coming out, and every day there are new personnel appointments. The Ministry of Officials has become the busiest ministry now. Even, it is busier than the Ministry of Rites, which is busy with the emperor's funeral.
Everyone seems to be living in a fog, and no one knows which way the political direction of the capital is going.
Politics is so complex, with countless interests tangled together. Those who can see through the fog in front of them are all extremely smart people. Although most of these guys in the court are smart people who rely on the imperial examination, the most intelligent people are rare animals.
Rare does not mean nothing, there are still two people who see through this fog.
One of them is Yang Suoxiu, the deputy envoy of the inspector, and the other is Chen Yiyi, who is in the matter.
Things gather like people in groups, and smart people generally play with smart people. These two incredibly smart guys are good friends who talk about everything!
"Brother Yang must have something to do with me, and there is something in our brother's friendship." The tea was already tasteless, and Chen Yiyi couldn't hold back and asked first. There are only two people in Yang Suoxiu's study, Yang Suoxiu and Chen Yiyi. With a sharp mind, Chen Yiyi knew that Yang Suoxiu was not as simple as inviting him to tea.
"Brother Xian! What do you think of the current situation? Yang Suoxiu asked softly.
"The little brother is stupid, and I ask Brother Yang for advice."
A typical slippery head, if you kill Yang Suoxiu, you don't believe it, Chen Yiyi won't be able to see anything.
"Mingren doesn't say secret words, if you guess right, brother. The new emperor will deal with the nine thousand years old, my brother and I have reached the current position, but it is the result of the nine thousand years old. If they are implicated, a big disaster will come to them as brothers. ”
"Nine thousand years old has the power to do it, and of course Banzai will not allow it. Today's Long Live is not the first emperor, Wei Zhongxian is an eagle dog promoted by the first emperor. The new emperor definitely intends to use his own people, but nine thousand years old is powerful. For a while, I didn't dare to move nine thousand years old. Things are now deadlocked!
If you look at the recent transfer of the capital, we can see that officers have been transferred in one after another to take over the three major battalions. These are long live people, and the officials have always received orders lately. Rewarding those who are 9,000 years old is appeasing the hearts of 9,000 years old. Once Banzai has full control of the three battalions, Nine Thousand Years is in danger. Yang Suoxiu made a start, and Chen Yiyi immediately said what was in his heart.
After all, he, the clerk, took the path that Yang cultivated.
"Brother Xian! I want to make a risky move for my brother, but I have to have your help. ”
"Oh, brother, but it doesn't hurt to say that."
"I'm ready to impeach Choi Cheng-so!"
"What?" Chen Yiyi was taken aback, but he didn't expect Yang Suoxiu to come to him to impeach Cui Chengxiu. Everyone in the capital knows that Cui Chengxiu is Wei Zhongxian's confidant. What is the difference between impeaching him and impeaching Wei Zhongxian, isn't this death?
"The impeachment of Choi Chengxiu can make Banzai feel that being a brother is not a eunuch. In the future, if the eunuch party falls, he will not be implicated as a brother. ”
"Then why didn't Brother Yang directly impeach the nine thousand years old? Wouldn't that be more ......! ”
"Brother Xian doesn't know that Banzai is only seventeen years old today. If he makes a slight mistake, he may not be able to defeat the 9,000-year-old. If you turn back and settle accounts at that time, you will be in trouble for your brother.
And nine thousand years old is the head of a party, if he falls. The tree fell and scattered, and under a thorough investigation, he couldn't escape as a brother.
Choi Chengxiu is a henchman of 9,000 years old, and impeaching him can win Banzai's trust. At the same time, he will not offend the nine thousand years old, and he can also pin all the black cauldrons of the eunuch party on his head. ”
"What does that brother need me to do?"
"Brother Xian only needs ......!"
Zhu Youzhen has been very busy recently, and only two days before he ascended the throne received the era name that the cabinet helped him draw up. The first era name is Xingfu, and Zhu Youzhen feels that it is not good.
The second era name is Xianjia, which sounds like pickles, but still refuses.
The third era name is Qiansheng, and Zhu Youzhen still doesn't like it.
The fourth era name is called Chongzhen, and Zhu Youzhen is a little too lazy to choose again. Tomorrow will be enthroned, so he will be the one anyway. As a result, the Ming Dynasty came from Zhu Youxiao's Apocalypse era to Zhu Youzhen's Chongzhen era.
On the first day of his ascension to the throne, Zhu Youzhen issued many holy decrees. Including Li Xiao and Ao Canghai Sun Chengzong's appointment documents!
Although Wei Zhongxian was very concerned about the letter of appointment of Li Xiao and others, he attached more importance to Wei Liangqing's iron ticket to avoid death.
Zhu Youzhen was still very interesting, and when he came up, he gave Father-in-law Wei a reassurance. The iron coupon for avoiding death is a good thing that existed during the Hongwu period. No matter how great the sin is, there is no capital crime anyway. Those who have not done great deeds will never be rewarded. Wei Liangqing can get this thing, which can be regarded as Huang Enhao.
still suffered the loss of no culture, and it is true that there are iron coupons to avoid death during the Hongwu period. But during the Hongwu period, the people who received the iron roll to avoid death had an abnormal mortality rate of nearly 100 percent. Because although this iron scroll is theoretically said to be able to forgive all sins, there is one sin that cannot be avoided—rebellion!
Zhu Youzhen has not been idle these days, not only to praise the eunuchs, but also to stabilize them from making trouble. has to promote the remnants of the Donglin Party, who have been suppressed for many years, and Qian Qianyi's face has to be taken care of. The Jiangnan chaebol has contributed money and efforts, and now it is time to pick fruits, and the consequences of forgetting them are very serious.
The guards in the palace have been replaced by Wang Tiqian. The eunuchs in the palace were also managed by Wang Chengen. In the past few days, Zhu Youzhen has taken control of the Forbidden City. Now, he began to look at the capital outside.
The most capable army from the capital was Li Xiao's Liao army, and Zhu Youzhen threw out a meat bone. Now the Liao army is like a vicious dog pounced on Jinan, as long as it controls the three major battalions, it is equivalent to controlling the capital garrison.
If you don't take this stall, I don't know how much Wei Zhongxian's power has swelled. Zhu Youxiao, the elder brother who lacks a string in his head, thought that Wei Zhongxian was a dog, but now it seems that where Wei Zhongxian is a dog, he is a vicious wolf.
The six departments of the imperial court were full of his people, and the entire eunuch party was hugged into a group. really moved the whole body, although he successfully ascended the throne, Zhu Youzhen still had a feeling that he had nowhere to speak.
What can be done to divide the eunuch party? As long as there is a crack in the eunuch party, it can start to disassemble this dragon gate array.
Zhu Youzhen looked at the music in front of him, and suddenly a music movement caught Zhu Youzhen's attention. His eyes narrowed, and he picked up the song and began to study it carefully.
Chen Yang repaired the impeachment of Cui Chengxiu and other unfilial ......!
Yang Xiu's letter impeached not one person, but four people. They are Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Chen Yin, the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, Zhu Tongmeng, the governor, and Li Yangde, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
These four guys have different origins, are tall, short, fat and thin, and have different personalities. But they have one thing in common, they are all eunuchs. Moreover, he is still Wei Zhongxian's henchman.
These four brothers are corrupt and bribe-taking, bullying men and women. They grabbed a lot of handles, but the reason for Yang's impeachment was quite special - unfilial piety!
According to Yang Suoxiu's in-depth investigation, these four brothers, father and mother, have all passed away. But these four are greedy for power, and they didn't go home to keep filial piety, and all of them "took love" This case is not in harmony with filial piety.
This reason is too fierce, as strong as Zhang Juzheng, and he was almost forced to hang himself because of the love affair. It's too easy to deal with these little shrimps now. If Zhu Youzhen investigates it, the lightest result of this brother's four will be dismissal and investigation.
Under this rotten medicine, it is called a steady, accurate, fast and ruthless! From a completely unexpected angle, he gave the eunuch a deep knife.
Zhu Youzhen looked at this letter, the opportunity has come!
Early the next morning, Wei Zhongxian knew that this fateful piece had been released.
Wei Zhongxian felt unprecedented fear, these four people were his henchmen. In particular, Choi Chengxiu is his number one sworn friend, and it is obvious that this is the first shot fired by the new emperor against himself.
Cui Chengxiu also knew about this letter, and the first person he looked for was not Wei Zhongxian, but Qian Qianyi.
"Mr. Qian, what you want me to help you do has already been done. What does this mean? Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is still ready to unload the mill and kill the donkey! Cui Chengxiu's face was pale, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him immediately and strangle Qian Qianyi, a bastard.
"Cui Bingbu, whether you believe it or not, Qian didn't know about this matter beforehand." Qian Qianyi was telling the truth, he really didn't know what was going on with this letter.
"Qian Qianyi, I still respect you as a gentleman. Do you dare to do it, but you dare not admit it? ”
"Yang Suoxiu is not our person, you know this Cui Bingbu. He is the deputy envoy of the capital, and now in the court, there is only one person who can order him. ”
"Long live, you mean?" Cui Chengxiu sat on the chair with his ass, could it be that the new emperor was going to take a knife on himself?
That's not right! He had already agreed to Qian Qianyi's appointment and secretly took refuge in the Jiangnan chaebol. The placement of men in the three battalions was done through one's own hands. And he, the secretary of the military department, should be a trump card in their hands, how could Qian Qianyi do such a stupid thing.
"Didn't you say that Banzai had already made a deal with you?" Cui Chengxiu stared at Qian Qianyi and said viciously.
"Cui Bingbu, since you have helped us, you can be regarded as your own person. I won't hide it from you, Qian Mou hasn't had time to tell Banzai about your affairs. Wang Chengen knew, but he probably didn't say it. Qian Mou will enter the palace to face the saint, and he must help Cui Bing's department to get rid of this matter. How is it? Qian Qianyi is full of confidence, at this time, please ask Zhu Youzhen to do something, Zhu Youzhen still has to give this face.
Cui Chengxiu's eyes were rolling wildly, and he couldn't understand what was going on. Who is the mastermind of that Yang Xiu!
"Thank you Mr. Qian, if Cui gets out of trouble, he will definitely not forget Mr. Qian's kindness." Cui Chengxiu arched his hand at Qian Qianyi.
