"In the second year of Zhengde, Wang Qiong seized the people's land and dedicated it to King Heng, filling the innocent people with the edge, almost provoking a popular uprising."

"In the third year of Zhengde, Wang Qiong did not comply with the regulations when he was in charge of the household department, and borrowed the silver from the Tai warehouse to the border town, and then he was transferred to Nanjing because of the account of the household department."

"During his tenure as the secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Qiong vainly transferred Liaodong and Yansui soldiers and horses to Xuanfu to meet the king's wishes, and framed the then governor of Yunnan and Gansu to prison."

"Peng Ze has made meritorious contributions through Hami, but Wang Qiong only talked about the defeat of Jiayu, and framed Peng Ze for vainly increasing gold coins, dishonesty and provocation, and humiliating the country and losing his teacher, so that Peng Ze was demoted to the people."

As for Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, Wang Qiong was even more close to them, far exceeding the legitimate dealings of other courtiers for official duties. The things that are given and received privately are even more innumerable! ”

After Yang Tinghe was output, he said in a sonorous tone: "Please ask Your Majesty to make a clear statement, order the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate, and Dali Temple to strictly investigate Wang Qiong's crimes, and punish them in a canonical manner!" ”

After he finished speaking, he saw that many people came out later, and all of them echoed their words, asking Zhu Houxi to take Wang Qiong from his post and go to prison for the crime.

And Yang Tinghe obviously has a posture of not having him and me, after all, this is a public tear of his face in front of the new monarch.

One is the head of the cabinet, and the other is the secretary of the head of the nine secretaries in essence.

In comparison, Liang Chu, the second assistant, and the other three impeached Shangshu are like Wang Qiong's additions.

Liang Chu already looked like he was going to the crown and treating the crime, Wang Qiong felt that he had said everything, knelt down and faced Zhu Houxi and said sadly: "The crowd rises up and attacks the people's mouths, this is the trend of the same party and the same attack!" The ministers are speechless, but please ask Your Majesty to judge! ”

Wang Qiong has climbed up through many positions step by step.

He does not have the identity of Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu, who were born as emperors, and he does not have the "fellow practitioners" who have been cultivated in Beijing for many years. Every time he took a step forward, he didn't leave the help of his ministers and fortunate ministers, how could others look down on him?

But Wang Qiong can only go this way to the end: now the ministers and Xingchen have been in decline and imprisoned because of the death of Emperor Zhengde. Wang Qiong can only rely on Xinjun, and only his need to suppress the powerful Yang Tinghe and control the power of the court.

It doesn't matter whether Yang Ting and them were wrong about the Son of Heaven's behavior of checking the accounts before, or whether they had organized this wave of attacks on Prince Liang, Wang Qiong and others before the new monarch ascended the throne.

Now that the Son of Heaven is the first to throw out this topic, he Wang Qiong is going to clearly label Yang Tinghe as a party.

With such a big hat, Yang Tinghe is bound to stand up for tat. In the major events surrounding important positions in the imperial court, if he really wants to maintain or even improve the cabinet and his own right to speak, he must win in this attack on Wang Qiong.

Your Majesty, are you worried that Yang Tinghe's power is too big?

Yang Tinghe has been the first assistant for many years, how many protégés should be accepted and recommended for promotion over the years?

Now Yang Tinghe took the lead in launching a general attack on Wang Qiong, and those who echoed accounted for the vast majority of Wenchen.

Will the Son of Heaven keep him Wang Qiong because of the need for different opinions, and because of the struggle with Yang Tinghe for the right to speak in court politics?

Zhu Houxi looked at the situation as he wished, and said with emotion: "Okay, it's really good." I said what I said before, and I pretended to be deaf and dumb. The first priority of national affairs is to employ people, right? The elders of Liangge have resigned, so let's talk about it first. Come and come, starting with Wang Qiong, those who are resolutely inseparable from him all stand in the middle. ”

Zhang Jiuxu was the first to give Xinjun the impeachment of Jiang Mian, Wang Qiong and others, and he had to stay in the middle.

And since Yang Tinghe had already torn his face with Wang Qiong in front of Xinjun, he naturally stayed in place.

With him leading, there are more and more people who stand in the middle.

Zhu Houxi even asked people to shout loudly outside the door to prevent the people behind from knowing what was going on.

Now the people who stand in front of Zhu Houxi in the middle are all people who are "incompatible" with Wang Qiong.

Zhu Houxi knew that there would be such a situation in the future no matter what, so it was better for him to force this situation out first.

Even if he opened the scene, he basically showed the attitude of attacking, exaggerating, and retreating in the court.

Even if he accused Qi Zhiluan and Zhang Jiuxu, he should not set off any "big purge" at this time.

Even if Wang Qiong accused Yang Ting of weaving party henchmen, friends and friends, and the party of fighting against differences.

Now, as Yang Tinghe stood up and loudly accused Wang Qiong of the "crimes" he had committed, there were still so many people who echoed and agreed with Yang Tinghe, as if this was indeed a matter of facts, ignoring what kind of emotions Zhu Houxi said about "incompatible".

Zhu Houxi was relieved in his heart.

It's good, the first time I faced such a situation, it wasn't because of the big courtesy, not because of the problem of his heir.

How to say it, it is also because of the authority of the prominent position of the court, this is indeed a national event.

Zhu Houxi nodded: "I only want to ask one thing: Wang Qiong's guilt or innocence is all a matter of the emperor's brother's reign." What kind of crime did he have before he was punished and sent to prison until I succeeded to the throne? ”

Yang Tinghe replied angrily: "Now that the traitor has been imprisoned and ambushed, although the remnants are still there, Wang Qiong has lost his reliance, so that he can be subdued by His Majesty's sage!" Anyway, to clarify the universe, this is the right move of the world to return to the heart, and the ministers and the people have been waiting for Wang Qiong for a long time! ”

Wang Qiong looked at them coldly.

If you don't co-author Wang Qiong, it's not sacred?

They just had to say that Emperor Zhengde was stupid, and they didn't know how Emperor Zhengde felt when he was still lying in this palace for a few feasts.

"When the world returns to the heart, it depends on me to handle Wei Bin and them, and Wang Qiong and them?" Zhu Houxi smiled, he understood the threat hidden in Yang Tinghe's righteous speech, "Since I have already conquered the extreme, why doesn't the world return to my heart?" The traitor is in the court, and I am the successor of the vassal king, I am not ready to succeed to the filial piety temple, is there a danger of the Qing monarch's side? ”

"Is it that if I do them, I will not chase the title of emperor for my father, but enter the title of queen mother for my biological mother, and follow the heir to the temple of filial piety, and the world will return to my heart?"

Yang Tinghe's face changed drastically, he didn't expect him to say these things at the same time so loudly and publicly.

Sure enough, as soon as he ascended the throne, he took the initiative to raise the matter, and clearly explained that he would not succeed to the heir, and he would pursue the title of emperor for the sake of Xingxian and the title of queen mother for the princess.

What Yang Tinghe didn't expect the most was that he actually grasped the word "the world returns to the heart", so that the two things were linked together, and it seemed natural for the Son of Heaven to associate it with their intentions.

At this time, it was the first time that many people had heard clearly and clearly about these details of the succession of the Son of Heaven and the clear attitude of the Son of Heaven.

They were a little confused for a while, some thought of the ancestral system, some were looking at Yang Tinghe's attitude, and some began to think deeply about His Majesty's intention to connect these two things.

Could it be that His Majesty wants to exchange these two things?

Wang Qiong's face turned pale suddenly, and Yan Song, Xia Yan and others in the crowd were all shocked.

Could it be that there will still be a purge, but the focus will not be on past sins, but on current attitudes?

So at present, how can the attitude of the ministers compare to that of the ministers who have supported His Majesty?

Yang Tinghe's attitude turned out to be against His Majesty's succession or not succession!

Wang Qiong knew how much power they had to speak, could he have to clearly agree with His Majesty at this time, and let His Majesty get rid of Yang Ting and all of them in one go?

This is impossible, Wang Qiong just doesn't want the cabinet to ride to the head of the six ministries completely, and he didn't expect to bring down Yang Tinghe.

In that case, wouldn't he be a sacrifice for His Majesty to gain their complete approval of their attitude towards the heir?

Zhu Houxi's atmosphere is coming.

Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong are still in the court, and Wang Shouren will also enter Beijing, aren't they guessing whether the emperor will make a big adjustment to the cabinet?

You Yang Tinghe is under a lot of pressure in his heart, but don't think about using the big gift as a bargaining chip all the time.

Zhu Houxi is going to ask Yang Ting and these people to give a clear attitude in front of hundreds of officials at this first court meeting today, and don't talk about this matter in the future.

He is not the young Jiajing, he knows that in front of the imperial power of himself, who has succeeded to the throne, this problem can already rise to another dimension.

Allegiance or rebellion?

Yang Tinghe, Mao Cheng and others want to take out the matter of the heir from time to time as a bargaining chip, and they have to be decided here today.

The problems reflected in the backlog of recitals were all summarized as attacking each other, and the clever Wang Qiong really put forward the accusation that the party was the same and the party was different.

If it's a partisan struggle, can it still be pure? Regardless of facts and right and wrong, only the position is questioned, and this is party struggle.

In this deathly silence, Yang Tinghe said angrily: "Your Majesty has only been in the Extreme for five days, why do you confuse these two things? ”

"You also know that I've only been in the Pole for five days?" Zhu Houxi sneered and said, "How much do I know about the hundred officials now, you have to deal with so many important ministers in one go." Guilty or innocent, virtuous and unvirtuous, and others have all gone to work, gone to prison, a turnip and a pit, and a group of people have already been recommended and appointed, if the people who go to work have grievances, what will they do? ”

He raised his voice and said loudly: "This wanton attack should not be there now!" If you are really loyal to the country, you should be patient at this time when you are old and new, and wait for me to understand the talents and character of hundreds of officials! Before I succeeded to the throne, all the traitors and villains in your mouth lived in the temple, is the Ming Dynasty finished? Now that I have succeeded to the throne, I can't wait for a moment, if I don't get rid of them, the world will not return to my heart, and the Ming Dynasty will die immediately? ”

The question of the Son of Heaven echoed inside and outside the West Corner Gate, followed by a sentence that made everyone shudder: "It is said that the new official has three fires, and I have not started yet, so you should burn a fire for me to see." What, are you trying to force the palace? ”
