Under the circumstances of the early arrangement, Ding Xiu and Pei Lun, under the leadership of Wang Chengen, passed through the sentry posts and swaggered into the palace with weapons.

It's just that because the status of the two of them is relatively low, they temporarily stayed outside to wait for the summons, while Wang Chengen took Cao Huachun, Luo Yangxing, and Wang Guoxing into it first.

At the moment when Cao Huachun appeared, the eyes of all officials instantly focused on him, especially some officials whose vital interests were damaged, staring at Cao Huachun's gaze at this time, eager to pounce on him and bite him twice.

Looking at these hostile eyes, Cao Huachun was unmoved.

I'm just killing a dozen of your officials and raiding their homes.

And when I return, I will measure your fields, and examine your inheritance, and cut off your wealth, and dig up your foundations.

You're still behind when you hate me, so you don't have to be so excited now.

Cao Huachun, who had already made up his mind to follow Lao Zhu all the way to the black, glanced at these officials with some disdain, and then calmly withdrew his gaze and walked in front of Lao Zhu.

"The ministers Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing, Wang Guoxing has seen Your Majesty."

"Excuse me."

Lao Zhu waved his hand to let a few people get up, and then looked at Wang Chengen behind a few people.

After seeing Wang Chengen nodding imperceptibly, Lao Zhu knew that Wang Chengen had arranged things, and couldn't help but bow slightly, and then looked at Cao Huachun again.

"Cao Huachun, the ministers accuse you of commanding the Jinyi Guard to abuse your power and brutalize Zhongliang, how do you explain this?"

"There is no excuse for the sin you want to add."

Cao Huachun, who had long understood Lao Zhu's attitude, knew that coming to Bacheng today was just a formality, so he didn't have the slightest worry in his heart, and said without humility or arrogance: "The minister has always been diligent and diligent in doing things for His Majesty, and he has never had any selfish thoughts. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Huachun turned to look at the ministers and said, "Today, your lordships say that this official abused his power and harmed Zhongliang? ”

"If not, it is a false accusation, do you know what is the responsibility of falsely accusing the imperial court?"

Cao Huachun's shouting did not frighten these officials, they were much more sharp than Cao Huachun.

Therefore, after Cao Huachun finished speaking, someone immediately said in a deep voice: "If an official violates the law, there are three legal divisions to ask for the crime." ”

"You instructed Jinyi Wei Zongqi to arrest officials without authorization, and you still killed more than a dozen officials and raided their homes."

This person stepped forward, stood up and looked at Cao Huachun angrily, and said, "Dare to ask Grandpa Cao, what evidence do you have to kill people directly?" On what charges did you directly raid your home? ”

"Where have you placed my Great Enlightenment Law and the Three Dharma Divisions in such a way? Where will Your Majesty be placed? ”

This person is Wang Cong, who was killed today when Wu Chang was in the Ministry of Officials, and he is of the same grade, which means that if Ding Xiu's first target is him, then he may also die in the hands of Jinyiwei and then be raided.

So his anger at the moment is completely from the heart, not half false.

In addition, he has been attached to Shoufu Zhou Yanru for a long time, because of the anger in his heart and the desire to please Zhou Yanru, so at this moment he was the first to jump out and act as the vanguard of the attack on Cao Huachun.

"Lord Wu has not forgotten one thing, Jinyiwei has the right to inspect and arrest."

When Cao Huachun looked at the roaring Wu Chang, his heart did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he said: "Anyone who commits a crime, regardless of the size of the official position, Jinyiwei has the right to arrest and interrogate. ”

"Jinyiwei arrests people, it is a matter of course, how can we talk about abuse of power? It has nothing to do with the Three Law Divisions. ”

"Grandpa Cao is really eloquent, but do you think you can reverse black and white in this way?"

Wu Changshi snorted coldly and said, "Jin Yiwei has the right to arrest, but is it also within the scope of Jin Yiwei's authority to kill people directly?" ”

"Officials break the law, only Your Majesty can judge the result, you dare to directly instruct Jinyiwei to kill those important members of the court without interrogation today, are you colluding with thieves and trying to subvert my Ming Dynasty?"

The most important thing in quarreling is not that you are reasonable, but that you have to ensure your rhythm and express your opinions.

For example, at this time, Wu Changshi indiscriminately and directly deducted Cao Huachun with a big hat of colluding with thieves and subverting the country.

Regardless of whether this hat can be buckled on Cao Huachun's head in the end, others can use this as a reason to directly attack Cao Huachun.

When the time comes, whether the emperor believes it or not, he has to pinch his nose and admit this fact.

"Nonsense!"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Cao Huachun suddenly became furious, "The reason why those officials were killed was completely because they violently resisted arrest with their families, and finally led to the bloody case." ”

"If you talk about rebellion, those who violently resist arrest are the ones who rebel, and you Wu Changshi are now speaking for those rebels, so you can't be in the same party with them?"

After Cao Huachun said this, the rest of the ministers also retorted,

"Nonsense, Jinyiwei arrests people, who dares to resist, Gonggong Cao, are you taking the people of the world as fools?"

"It's like, now that everyone is dead, it's not like what you say is what?"

Cao Huachun, who fell into a group attack, did not have the ability to fight the Confucians, and in the face of so many people, he directly fell into the disadvantage.

Seeing that Cao Huachun was about to be sprayed and couldn't speak, Lao Zhu, who had been watching for a while, hurriedly opened his mouth to pull the shelf, "As an important minister of the imperial court, what kind of system is it to be noisy here!" ”

After the ministers who lived in the town, Lao Zhu opened his mouth and said to Wang Chengen: "Didn't you bring those two general flags too?" Let them come in, and since they have done it, let them speak. ”

"Yes, hooray."

Wang Chengen nodded understandingly, and then directly asked Ding Xiu and Pei Lun to be summoned.

Seeing the emperor for the first time, and being under the hateful gaze of so many ministers, made Pei Lun and Ding Xiu a little nervous in their hearts.

Even with Ding Xiu's temperament, he couldn't help but sweat in his palms at this time.

"Minister Pei Lun and Ding Xiu, I have seen Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite."

After Lao Zhu let the two of them get up, he said directly: "Kill more than a dozen important ministers of the court in a row, you are really famous today." ”

"Tell us what's going on, and let the ministers behind you understand what's going on."

Listening to Lao Zhu's mocking tone, Pei Lun instantly determined Lao Zhu's attitude, and the heart that he was originally carrying was also let go a lot.

He told the story of today, but in his story, they were only ordered to arrest people, and they did not intend to kill people.

As for the officials who were killed by them, it was entirely because they let the family guard resist with arms, and they were forced to resist, so they had to resist.

It's just that his explanation, it is obvious that no official can accept it, so after he finished speaking, Zhou Yanru, who had been silent, stood up directly.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask them a few words, and I hope Your Majesty can grant permission."
