As the saying goes, someone delivered a pillow when drowsiness came, Chen Yi and others originally planned to slowly figure it out and clear Wang Zhenyu's party little by little, but they didn't know that the gift package fell from the sky, and if they didn't fight at this time, when would they stay?

Then he said sharply: "The minister has a book." Wang Zhen was a thief, brought disaster to the country and the people, did many evils, and bewitched the emperor to go on the expedition, causing the emperor to fall into the enemy camp and unable to do it himself. The eunuch thief committed such a vicious deed, and the immortal clan was not enough to comfort people's hearts, and the minister implored the king to kill the eunuch party and destroy his clan, and the common people were angry. ”

Chen Yi's words were very sensational, and his words resonated with the vast majority of people, many people's relatives died in Tumubao, and their souls did not return, and there were people who were persecuted by Wang Zhen in the past, and they suddenly began to speak out.

"The ministers seconded it!"

"I implore you to punish the eunuchs, destroy the country's thieves, and the people are angry."

...

Wang Wen, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, then went out and continued to complain: "For their own selfish interests, the eunuchs bewitched the emperor to go on the expedition, and in order not to trample on the fields of Ulzhou, they wantonly changed the route of the army and stationed the civil fort, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army. ”

Hu Ke gave Wang Hong in the matter, and cried: "I implore the king to punish the eunuch party, destroy the country thief, and the people are angry, this thief and this party will not be punished, and heaven will not tolerate it!" ”

The battle of Tumubao needs a back-handed person, and he needs to give an explanation to the whole country, this person must not be Zhu Qizhen, so among the rest of the people, except for the leading brother of the eunuch party, the dead Wang Zhen, who else can be competent?

Moreover, the matter of Zhu Qizhen's knocking on the customs cannot be hidden, and it will be known to the whole country at that time, which will damage the dignity of the royal family, and it is urgent to give an explanation to all the soldiers of the nine towns outside the gate, and clearly inform that there is no crime in opening the city, and it is also an explanation to everyone.

This explanation is that the emperor was bewitched by the eunuch king Zhen, captured by Wara, and coerced by Wara to knock on the pass, so that all the pots on Zhu Qizhen's body were thrown off.

Therefore, killing the eunuchs has become the only political option, but Wang Zhen is dead, so it is necessary to liquidate Wang Zhenyu's party, in order to show that the Ming Dynasty is working hard and repenting, and it is cheap to win people's hearts and resist the national disaster.

It is not surprising that political purges have always been so brutal.

It's just a matter of success and defeat, and if Wang Zhen returns victoriously this time, they will be the ones who will be purged.

Chen Yi keenly grasped the key, and with the help of several colleagues, a storm of crusade against Wang Zhenyu's party was formed in the court, which was supported by the vast majority of people, and even the oldest Wang Zhi and Hu Xi also expressed their positions one after another.

Although Zhu Qiyu has the heart to serve the country, in the final analysis, he is just an idle prince who has been forcibly pushed to the throne, where has he seen such a huge battle of pen and mouth, thinking of the life and death power of a cadre of people in his hands, he was stunned for a while, and he did not dare to make a decision.

On the other hand, above the court, batch after batch of ministers, kneeling down to petition, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, seeing that the eunuch party was liquidated, the power of the party after the party will inevitably be greatly reduced, one eliminates the other, at this time do not stand in line, when to stand in line?

In less than a quarter of an hour, no less than 100 ministers petitioned, and only a dozen ministers were left like upside-down green onions, with a lonely pestle, which looked very different.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized that he was coerced by the ministers, which is similar to Zhu Qizhen being coerced by Wara to knock on the pass, but one is to make a living, so he didn't dare to make a decision easily, so he was so deadlocked.

Jin Ying and Xing'an were so frightened that they trembled, they both belonged to Wang Zhen's party, and they looked at the Empress Dowager Sun, hoping that the Empress Dowager Sun could protect them, but the Empress Dowager Sun would not speak at this time, refuted the petitioning Wenchen, ignited the fire, and refuted Jin Ying and Xing'an, which is equivalent to losing the celebrant and the eyes and ears of the government, but for the first time, I wish Zhu Qiyu could take over this mess and make her own decisions.

Seeing that the stalemate was stalemate, Chen Yi added another fire, and said: "King Yu, the national disaster is at the head, some grain merchants wantonly raise the price of grain, take the opportunity to make the country difficult to make money, and deserve to be punished!" ”

This matter is not related to the killing of the eunuchs, and many people don't know what is the purpose of Chen Yi's critical time?

"Is there any evidence?" Zhu Qiyu asked slowly.

"This case has been taken over by the Shuntian Mansion, you can ask the Mansion." Chen Yi said.

"King Yu, the evidence in this case is conclusive, the prisoner has confessed, please take a look at it." Shuntian Mansion Cheng walked to the front of the palace and offered it with both hands holding the confession.

It is the eunuch Chen Guan, who is the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, who is known for being good at collecting money, whenever foreign officials go to Beijing to report on their work, they are collected bribes on behalf of this person, and in the end, an unspoken rule has been formed, the first thing to do in Beijing is to give Wang Zhen a gift, and if he does not give a gift, he will be retaliated.

At this time, everyone understood, Chen Yi found another way, curved to save the country, and secretly admired.

Zhu Qiyu finished reading the confession, and asked Cheng Jing to send it to the Empress Dowager Sun, bowed down and said, "Please ask the Empress Dowager to adjudicate." ”

The evidence is conclusive, and it has fallen at this juncture, Empress Dowager Sun knows that Chen Guan can't keep it, but she regrets that there is a big lack of money in the palace, so she threw it back to Zhu Qiyu and said, "Please make your own decision." ”

Zhu Qiyu said: "According to the law of Da Ming, how to adjudicate? ”

Shuntianfu said: "King Yu, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the crime should be punished." ”

Zhu Qiyu said: "Let's do it like this." ”

Shuntianfu Cheng was ordered to slowly retreat.

Then, there is no then.

You have to have a valid reason for killing, and you have to be able to speak, like the ministers, swarming to put pressure on the people in power, forcing Zhu Qiyu to kill the eunuchs, at worst, it is the power of the ministers to coerce the imperial power, which is the most unbearable for those in power.

What's more, Zhu Qizhen was coerced in front, and the ministers' coercion of Zhu Qiyu to kill Wang Zhenyu's party really violated Zhu Qiyu's rebellion.

However, the ministers who were instigated were very dissatisfied with the hasty killing of a Chen official, and immediately stopped doing it, anyway, the law does not blame the public, it is already like this, they simply hardened to the end, and they couldn't afford to cry, and after a burst of tears and crying, the ministers unified their voice: "Kill the eunuch party and destroy its whole clan." ”

Zhu Qiyu was forced to have no choice, and when he was struggling with no plan, he suddenly saw Cheng Jing's gesture out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly remembered Zhu Jianying's words, and asked the Queen Mother if he was undecided, turned around and asked the bead curtain for instructions: "Please make a decision!" ”

Empress Dowager Sun pushed back again and said, "Please make your own decision." ”

The ministers who knelt on the ground all looked at Zhu Qiyu directly, with the implication that they would not achieve their goals and would not give up.

Jin Ying, Xing'an, and Mao Gui and Wang Chang not far away kept wiping cold sweats, and they all looked at King Yu, and they didn't dare to gasp, today's little life was all in the hands of King Yu.

Zhu Qiyu took a few deep breaths, swept the court with a glance, looked at the black pressure on the ground, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said: "Zhuqing will leave the palace for the time being, and this matter will be investigated." ”

The eunuchs breathed a sigh of relief, and their lives were preserved, and these ministers, where would they easily let go of such a good opportunity, they are all people who have been in the sea for a long time, and they know that they play politics, today it is not you who will do me, tomorrow I will do you.

Once you can't get rid of Wang Zhenyu's party today, you will inevitably be counterattacked by them tomorrow, the celebrant is not a vegetarian, and it is his own body that suffers when he is the time, so he simply doesn't pretend, the showdown is over, and he dies in the hands of Wang Zhenyu's party, it is better to die in the court.

Although Zhu Qiyu had already given the order, the ministers turned a deaf ear, they couldn't kneel for a long time, their grief and anger were difficult to suppress, and they couldn't help crying, crying, and scolding, so they stared at Zhu Qiyu.

A group of well-educated people embroidered with beasts on their chests, like a shrew, gathered to play helplessly, such a scene is rare in all dynasties.

Just when Zhu Qiyu was at a loss, a violent cry suddenly sounded above the court: "It's a big crime to wait for you to be coerced, don't retreat quickly!" ”

It was Ma Shun, the commander of Jinyiwei, who reprimanded the ministers, and he had long seen that these petitioning ministers were unhappy, and felt that this was a good opportunity to show loyalty to the king of Yu, so he stood up, but he forgot that he was also Wang Zhenyu's party.

So, in less than a day, after the emperor knocked on the door, another historic famous scene was about to be staged.
