Chapter 57: The Assassin
After teasing Liu Qiao a little, Luo Sigong didn't talk nonsense anymore, and said directly: "What we have to do now is very simple, that is, to make a fuss, the bigger the trouble, the more the eunuch party can't resist." ”
"Don't think about directly breaking down the eunuchs with your little bit, but even more so about borrowing the strength of the eunuchs themselves."
"The eunuch party, as well as those who are attached to the eunuch party, are all driven by interests, how many people are sincere to Wei Zhongxian's eunuch?"
"As long as they feel that something is going to happen to the eunuchs, they will bite back without us taking action."
"Those people are closer to the eunuchs, and they must have a lot of evidence of the eunuchs' crimes, and if they take action, they will get twice the result with half the effort, let them eat dogs, and we can just take advantage of the fishermen."
Hearing these words, Liu Qiao's heart lit up, and he instantly understood that Luo Sigong's strategy was very correct.
So, he arched his hand and said: "Lord Xie instructs, when this matter is over, the lower official will ask the Lord for the guilt." ”
"There's no need to bear the guilt, don't shadow me behind my back in the future, thank God for letting me live a few more years." Luo Sigong said with some grievances.
Liu Qiao touched his nose and was speechless for a while, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
After bidding farewell to Luo Sigong, Liu Qiao quickly began to prepare, he knew that if he wanted to build momentum, he first had to have a weighty leader.
He thought of Li Banghua for the first time, because he was only slightly familiar with Li Banghua, and the two had already made an agreement before, and now I am afraid that only Li Banghua is willing to make the first move at this time.
After thinking about it, he didn't delay any longer and went to visit overnight.
And Li Banghua, because he was not liked by the eunuchs, and because he offended a large number of powerful people and doctors because of the rectification of the Beijing camp, he was almost isolated, and the news was also very closed.
Until now, he did not know what was happening in the palace today.
"Really?" When Liu Qiao told everything that happened today, Li Banghua couldn't believe it.
"It's true, the Hakka family is now locked up in the Jinyi guard prison room, if Master Li doesn't believe it, Liu will take you over to meet him now."
Li Banghua waved his hand and said with a smile: "So there is no need, if you can't even believe this, won't you let Commander Liu laugh?" ”
"Then Commander Liu, what are you going to let me do?"
Liu Qiao hurriedly said: "Now the news in the palace, many people must already know, the eunuch party must be panicked, we must take the opportunity to add fire, let them mess with themselves first." ”
"Those people in the eunuch party are people who forget their righteousness for profit, as long as they think that Wei Zhongxian is going to fail, they will be scattered. In case he was dragged down by Wei Zhongxian, he would try his best to clear up the relationship, and even fall into the well to prove his innocence. ”
Li Banghua stroked his beard and said very approvingly: "This official thinks the same, both of us are people who are not treated well by others, and we have weak strength, so we must take advantage of the situation to succeed, and the momentum of this eunuch party is very good." ”
"Haha, the hero sees the same thing."
So, the two did not delay any longer, and immediately Li Banghua drafted the impeachment recital, and Liu Qiao helped to supplement it on the side, and the two were busy until late at night and did not feel tired.
Early the next morning, Li Banghua couldn't wait to hand over the recital.
The chapter must first be drafted by the cabinet, and when the four cabinet ministers opened it and read it, their faces suddenly changed.
Because it unceremoniously and directly listed more than a dozen major crimes of Wei Zhongxian, such as: juxtaposing with the emperor, contempt for the queen, mutilating Zhongliang, indiscriminately rewarding knights, covering up side merits, etc.
If you didn't ask about the government in the past, in the face of such a concert that was unfavorable to Chitose Ye, you could just go back.
But at this time, especially when yesterday's preliminary interrogation of Madame Fengsheng was also very unfavorable to her, if she did this blatantly, she would be burned if she did not do it well.
What's more, this is still a member of the three ranks, Li Banghua, the governor of the Beijing camp, and Long Live also values him very much.
The chapter was swallowed up, and Li Banghua could still directly enter the palace to face the saint, and when the time came, it would be a big trouble to poke this matter out.
The three of them, including Huang Liji, all looked at Li Guopu.
Because the first assistant Huang Liji, the second assistant Shi Fenglai and the cabinet minister Zhang Ruitu all belong to the eunuch party, and they are also extremely flattering to Wei Zhongxian on weekdays, although Li Guopu is also relatively close to the eunuch party, he is not one-sided, and he can barely be regarded as a centrist.
So before the matter was clear, the three of them wanted Li Guopu to take the lead first.
But Li Guopu is not a fool, now the situation is not clear, blindly rushing out, there is not much benefit if the bet is right, if the bet is lost, it will be a catastrophe.
Therefore, it is better to let others explore the direction of the wind first, which is quite suitable for Li Banghua.
He agreed that the piece should be handed over, but he did not make specific suggestions for review, leaving it up to the celebrant to handle it himself.
Huang Liji and the three of them thought about it, and it seemed that they could only do this, so they also submitted this piece together.
When Wang Tiqian saw it, his face suddenly changed, and Wei Zhongxian on the side instantly noticed it.
Because he knew that someone was likely to impeach him today, even if there were many things outside the palace that he needed to deal with, he still couldn't rest assured and still came to the celebrant in person.
"Whose piece is this?" Wei Zhongxian asked.
Wang Tiqian didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "Back to the Chitose Master, it is Li Banghua's." ”
Wei Zhongxian's face sank, and it was really this damn Donglin partyman.
"Read." He couldn't read a single word, and every now and then he needed other eunuchs to read it.
Wang Tiqian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately read out the content of the recital word for word, and Wei Zhongxian's face became more and more ugly.
Several eunuchs who were doing things around them seemed to be pointed at the same time, and they didn't dare to move.
Wang Tiqian asked cautiously: "Master Chitose, how to deal with it?" ”
What he meant was whether to detain it as usual.
However, can you deduct one or the second? Even if all of them are deducted, Li Banghua can still enter the palace to face the saint.
When the time comes, there will be no three hundred taels of silver here, and they will lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot.
"Let's put it together, and we will personally send it to Banzai later, and the next one."
Although Wei Zhongxian tried his best to keep calm, Wang Tiqian, who had been flattering him for so many years, still felt his fear.
Subsequently, there were several impeachment letters, although the weight of these people was far less than that of Li Banghua, but the wording was also very sharp, leaving no way for himself to retreat, which shows that he was dissatisfied with Wei Gonggong for a long time.
This is also normal, no matter how much Wei Zhongxian covers the sky with one hand, it is impossible to directly turn the huge court into his own Yiyan Hall, some people can't bear it, but they don't find a suitable opportunity.
Now, seeing that the edifice of power of the eunuchs was loosening, these people who did not lack courage did not hesitate to act, as if they were assassins.
