Not long after, Wu Yong also led people to escort Zhao Ben to the edict prison.

When Zhao Ben saw Li Wei inside, his heart suddenly sank, and he was even more sure that this was his personal vendetta.

Although he didn't want to give in, when he saw the gloomy environment in the cell, he still couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and opened his mouth: "Lord Li, I was deceived before I participated in the impeachment, you let me go this time, and from now on, our well water will not interfere with river water!" ”

Although Zhao Ben didn't cry and kneel on the ground like those wall grasses to beg for mercy, the meaning of his words was the same.

Li Wei glanced at him lightly, spread his hands, and sighed: "Lord Zhao, it was Jinyiwei who arrested you, it really has nothing to do with me, besides, it's all Your Majesty's will, and I don't count if I say it!" ”

"You!" Zhao Ben glared at him angrily and scolded: "You fart! It's none of your business, why are you here? And these brocade guards are all your guards, you are obviously taking the opportunity to announce your personal vendetta! I want to see Your Majesty, I want to impeach you! ”

Li Wei's face immediately sank when he heard this, and he waved his hand coldly and said, "Escort him down!" ”

"Yes!"

Wu Yong surrendered his hand and took Zhao Ben down.

After that, Lu Tang and Abu followed closely and brought Du Ze and Liu Zhongzhen in, and the two of them also turned pale after seeing Li Wei, and they repeatedly asked for mercy.

Although the two of them are not considered to be grass on the wall, they are not much better, and they are not staunch anti-Li elements.

After a while, seeing that no one came in again, Li Wei asked, "Are they all together?" ”

"Lord Hui, all the eighty-three people in Beijing have been arrested, and there are many of them!"

Wu Yong replied.

"Well," Li Wei bowed his head slightly, "Then let the soldiers who participated in the operation go to rest, leave a few reliable ones, and start the trial directly." ”

"Yes, sir."

After saying this, Li Wei yawned again and said, "You guys go and rest, just leave someone to watch, and I'll leave first." ”

"Slow down, adults."

Wu Yong, Lu Tang and others sent them off, and Li Wei took a few guards to follow, and then went home to sleep, and he couldn't stay up all night when he was old.

After he left, Wu Yong and the others discussed, and then Lu Tang stayed behind, and the others also left in turn.

In the prison, the officials who were divided into several cells whispered uneasily, especially Zhao Ben, because of his highest grade, he naturally became the backbone of these people.

"Lord Zhao, what the hell is going on? This Li Wei has no official position and no position, why should he arrest us? ”

"Yes, don't say that he has been dismissed, even if he is still the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he has no power to arrest so many important ministers of the court!"

Everyone was talking, expecting Zhao Ben's book to give them an answer.

"Hey, it's the Jinyi pro-army who arrested us, didn't they say it, this is the Qin case confessed by His Majesty!"

"Nonsense, I know the person who led the team, it is clearly Li Wei's own bodyguard, he clearly resents our impeachment and makes him lose his official position, and takes revenge on us for personal gain."

"I shouldn't have been involved in this in the first place, but now it's okay, it's really a blood mold......"

Everyone chattered endlessly, wanting him to give an explanation, but Zhao Ben was silent, he couldn't protect himself now, how could he still have the heart to deal with these people.

Li Wei went home to sleep, but they didn't think about it, not long after Li Wei left, Lu Tang led people to start interrogating them in turn, so that they had no chance to rest at all.

The next morning, after the whipping, the palace gate opened, and the ministers entered in shifts.

At this time, the ministers suddenly found that there were fewer people around them, especially Yu Xi and Wang Shi, the two Shangshu, who were standing alone in the front row, and there was no one else around.

"Why didn't Lord Zhao come?" Wang Shi asked Yu Xi in a low voice.

Yu Xi didn't look back, and said lightly: "I don't know." ”

Wang Shi was hesitant in his heart, looked back behind him, and suddenly found that the two attendants from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials did not come.

"Why didn't Du Ze, the squire of your ministry, come?" Wang Shi asked again.

"I don't know." Yu Xi said very simply, anyway, he is neither the Li Party nor the anti-Li Party, Zhao Ben likes to come or not, so he doesn't care.

Wang Shi: "......"

I don't know this, I don't know that, how did you become a heavenly official?

Wang Shi felt a scorn in his heart, and his face was a little displeased.

However, at this time, the whip sounded again, and he could only follow the ministers into the palace together.

On the Song Heaven Palace, there is a large number of bigwigs who are qualified to enter the hall, because of the Li Party's affairs, there are two fewer Shangshu and one waiter, plus Li Wei was dismissed, only Zhao Ben and the two of them are left in the six Shangshu, and now Zhao Ben is gone, and the waiter is also missing two at once, and the Wenchen train suddenly seems to be much sparser.

Wang Shi looked around, secretly guessing in his heart.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was high on the throne, turned a blind eye to this, and asked the ministers to inquire about the performance as usual, and as for the yamen without the chief official, a few low-level officials were named and sent in for the time being.

There were not a few ministers who found out about this, but seeing that His Majesty didn't mind, they didn't dare to ask.

After the end of the early dynasty, the ministers took the time to inquire around, and the family members and servants of the officials who were arrested also took the initiative to find their old acquaintances to report the news, and the ministers only then knew what happened last night.

One Shangshu, two squires, plus other officials, there are more than eighty people in total, which is not a small number!

Although there are more than 1,000 Beijing officials, but when you go to the military attaché, the number of civil officials is only a few hundred, and if you remove so many of them, the operation of the imperial court has been affected.

What made the ministers even more panicked was that these civil officials were directly arrested by the newly established Jinyi Guard, and they only said that they were handling the Qin case, and they didn't even give a clear reason, so it's worth it?!

The ministers blew up at once, and the officials who had already dispersed and returned to their yamen also entered the palace again to ask for a meeting.

On the Fengtian Palace, all the ministers were excited and played one after another.

"Your Majesty, as soon as the Jinyi Guard was established, he wantonly arrested the courtiers for no reason, this is a chaotic act, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to reprimand its leader and release it to the ministers!"

"The minister seconded the proposal, Your Majesty, although Jinyiwei is pro-army, but he can't arrest people indiscriminately without evidence, they didn't even make it clear what case they were handling, and among the people who were arrested, there were important ministers like Shangshu Shilang, if they delayed the government affairs of the court, the crime was Jinyiwei!"

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Li Juma, the minister heard that the Jinyi guards who arrested people last night were all Li Juma's guards, Li Juma was obviously resentful because of the previous ministers' impeachment of him, and took revenge for personal gain, please Your Majesty to treat him for the crime of perverting the law without authority!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

At this time, whether it was related to Zhao Ben or not, they all played impeachment, and people like Yu Xi, who had nothing to do with themselves, also echoed their words.

Jin Yiwei's behavior is really a public outrage, if the courtiers can be arrested so casually in the future, then how can they have a good life? (End of chapter)
