Chapter 117: Mental Game
The ministers knelt on the ground, and pointed the finger at Wang Zhen, the mastermind behind the scenes.
But at this moment, Wang Zhen turned around and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the slave is willing to cooperate with the investigation." β
This scene once again exceeded the expectations of the ministers, and even Zhu Qizhen was a little shocked.
What's going on today?
He panicked, something was clearly wrong at the moment, but he didn't know why.
People are always afraid of the unknown because it is full of uncertainty.
It was difficult for Zhu Qizhen to measure whether such a development would be good or bad, so he was very hesitant.
At this time, Li Qing stood up.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music."
Seeing Li Qing stand up, Zhu Qizhen felt a little relieved, "Quasi-play!" β
Until this time, the bigwigs found that Li Qing had also gone to court today.
"The minister thinks that since everything that the Jinyi commander has played is corroborated, it should be thoroughly investigated." Li Qing quietly gave Zhu Qizhen a reassuring look and said, "As for the prince, he is willing to cooperate, why can't the emperor fulfill it?" β
Zhu Qizhen saw Li Qing's eyes full of meaning, and finally understood that this was from Li Qing's handwriting.
He was immediately relaxed, and at the same time, a little annoyed.
I just gave up power, and you cut it first without asking for instructions, and you still make such a big fuss, do you still have me in your eyes?
You deserve to be promoted!
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and said lightly: "What do you think?" β
"The minister seconded the proposal."
Everyone agreed, no matter what, let's get the obscure Wang Zhen down first, and then talk about it, as for the future...... The criminal department also has torture tools, so it is faster than anyone.
At this time, Ma Shun, who had just been quiet for a while, spoke again.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has this music."
Zhu Qizhen was still angry with Li Qing, and he was in a very bad mood, "Why did you go just now?" β
"The emperor forgives the sins." Ma Shun snorted, "In fact, the minister's side has also received news that high-ranking officials such as the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple have violated the law, but they lack evidence and dare not report it." β
"Dare to report it now?"
"Back to the emperor." Ma Shun said, "If the eunuch is not convicted of a crime, the three legal divisions can be detained and tried, and I think we can also be Jinyiwei." β
After a pause, he added: "Among the six departments, there are many Shangshu and Shilang, who are involved, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple are also involved. β
At this moment, the faces of the ministers changed wildly again.
They finally realized that Wang Zhen was fighting with them.
It was only at this time that Zhu Qizhen completely woke up, and there was a way in this.
However, he still didn't understand Li Qing's ultimate purpose.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Li Qing, but Li Qing was silent, so angry that he secretly gritted his teeth: You see if I don't deduct you, it's over.
Wang Zhen is completely out of the way, anyway, there is the emperor to cover him, he has nothing to fear, he will not lose his life if he follows the emperor to do things, right?
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of slaves and maids, they are all arrested and tried, once it is verified, the head of the head will be killed, the house will be raided, the exiled will be exiled, and the Yi people will not be tolerated."
The more he spoke, the more he moved, and his tears flowed, "For the sake of the Ming Dynasty to rule the Ming Dynasty, the slave and maid are unjustly killed in prison, so why be afraid?"
Please also ask the emperor to make a decision early! β
Zhu Qizhen was not moved at all, and even wanted to scold his mother.
This time, he coaxed.
There are too many people involved, the level of the officials involved is too high, and there is still a concentrated outbreak, if all of them must be strictly investigated and dealt with, the situation will immediately be in chaos.
But he is not easy to refuse, so that the ministers can see his weakness, and they will become even worse in the future.
Fuck, can't you come one by one...... Zhu Qizhen scolded in his heart, he was set up.
Wang Zhen saw that Zhu Qizhen's face was different, and he said that he was deeply moved by the little emperor, so he worked harder.
"Someone, someone." Wang Zhen shouted loudly, "Lock our house quickly." β
He has already entered the drama too deeply, "Chen Du Yushi, Jin Shangshu, after a while, don't forget to go to our house!" β
Chen Yi and Jin Lian's faces were extremely ugly.
Not only them, but the faces of the senior officials of the six ministries are not good-looking, and the current situation is already very clear, and if they insist on getting Wang Zhen, they have to get in themselves.
and a eunuch will die together, and they will never want to.
But that's the way it is.
They have seen Wang Zhentong's determination to die, and when things come to this point, they don't have the slightest doubt that Wang Zhen is rushing to finish playing with everyone.
Thankfully, they still have a chance.
The Emperor had not yet spoken.
The ministers could only hope that Zhu Qizhen would not dare to be so reckless.
As long as Zhu Qizhen takes a step back, Wang Zhen's efforts will be in vain, and he will shoot himself in the foot.
This time, all the pressure was concentrated on Zhu Qizhen.
It was a bad thing for him.
Retreating, not only Wang Zhen will die, but in the future, in the psychological game with the ministers, there will be no advantage at all.
If you don't retreat, the vast majority of officials will take care of it, and the situation will be chaotic immediately.
At this moment, Zhu Qizhen's heart was like frying, and he looked at Li Qing again.
This is a bureau set up by Li Qing, and he believes that Li Qing will go to the bottom.
But unfortunately, Li Qing didn't look at him at all.
Zhu Qizhen was almost desperate, he didn't understand the point of Li Qing doing this.
And Wang Zhen devoted himself wholeheartedly, "Why hasn't anyone come to arrest our family yet!" Commander Ma, come, you come to detain our family, and then send the three law divisions. β
said, turned his head, "Your Majesty, the slave has gone." β
Zhu Qizhen is almost crazy: Damn, don't bring such a play!
The ministers were also frightened, their eyes were firmly fixed on Zhu Qizhen, they were even more tormented than Zhu Qizhen, after all, Zhu Qizhen was facing chaos at most, and they would lose everything, including their lives, and even their families would be destroyed.
In this psychological game battle, the nerves of both sides collapsed to the extreme.
Yu Qian's forehead was sweating, the critical situation this time was the most thrilling since he became an official, and one carelessness would fundamentally cause great turmoil.
Li Qing was still silent, Wang Zhen's determination had been seen by the ministers, but the emperor's determination had not yet been seen.
Only by completely crushing their psychological defense line and making them believe that Zhu Qizhen will really use the knife against them at any cost can he successfully implement the national policy of returning to the West.
The temple is full of human spirits, and if you tell Zhu Qizhen in advance, it is difficult to guarantee that you can hide it from everyone.
The entanglement, struggle, pain, and hesitation on Zhu Qizhen's face at the moment...... All kinds of complex emotions, if he had known in advance, he would not have been able to play such a realistic effect.
Zhu Qizhen is not acting.
So the ministers were really panicked.
But they are gambling, betting that Zhu Qizhen will not be like Wang Zhen and completely open up.
Li Qing is also gambling, betting that Zhu Qizhen, who has a strong personality and a strong rebellious mentality, will not give in.
Thankfully, he won the bet.
'Bangββ! Zhu Qizhen slapped the royal case violently, the severe pain, and the psychological torment made his face flushed.
Zhu Qizhen roared almost frantically: "Anyone and everything involved will be thoroughly investigated to the end, and will not be tolerated, once verified, it will be dealt with immediately." β
The ministers' faces turned pale, and their spirits seemed to be drained all at once.
The bargaining chip they played with the emperor was to stabilize the court situation and do things well.
The emperor is obedient, I will do a good job, the emperor is disobedient, I will make you feel bad.
But in fact, the emperor wants to kill, and they are powerless to resist.
And now, the little emperor is obviously reckless about the consequences, and he wants to kill them.
Beg?
It means that the heart is weak, which is equivalent to not admitting oneself.
Dead carrying?
It means that going to prison is equivalent to certain death.
They lost the bet, and they lost a mess.
Wang Zhen doesn't plan to live, the little emperor doesn't plan to live, and the ministers are really afraid.
They regret it, but it's too late, they want to make amends, and they don't know where to start.
At this time, Li Qing finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music."
Your mother, I didn't play just now, I fucking jumped off the cliff, what's the point of reining in the horse again?
Zhu Qizhen ignored him and chose to go to the end: "Come ...... someone"
"Your Majesty, there is no room for a moment's delay in 100,000 urgent matters." Li Qing strongly interrupted Zhu Qizhen, and without permission, he played directly: "The Ministry of Industry has built so many ships, and it is only for trade with Japan, so it is not needed at all;
In the opinion of the ministers, the extra treasure ships should be used to trade with the Westerners, so as to make the best use of them. β
Li Qing spoke very quickly, "The silk produced by the Weaving Bureau cannot be completely digested by Japan, and it is a great loss to the imperial court to go to the West one day late!" β
Zhu Qizhen was stunned, and the ministers were also stunned.
But soon, the ministers' eyes lit up: Isn't the opportunity to make amends?
And Zhu Qizhen finally understood Li Qing's true purpose.
