Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 125 Cheng Jing
Qianqing Palace.

The treatment of Shi Heng and the others is just a trivial matter.

Even though in his previous life, Shi Hengquan was in power, but now he is just a small official, wearing a sinful body.

Zhu Qiyu asked him to lead the army to fight, not only did not "harm" him, but it was a mighty grace from heaven.

As for whether he can come back from Zijingguan, that's not Zhu Qiyu's concern.

Cheng Jing walked up, still holding a thick stack of memorials.

Putting down the memorabilia on the table, Cheng Jing took out seven or eight books from the top, and handed them to Zhu Qiyu first, saying.

"My lord, according to your instructions, these few copies are also for the impeachment of Cao Jixiang. For some reason, there are more memorials sent today than usual."

Cao Jixiang is not Wang Zhen, he is just a eunuch who supervises the army in one place.

Like him, there were seventy or eighty if not hundreds of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty who were out of the country or guarding one side.

Therefore, although Zhu Qiyu kept the memorial to impeach him, but there was no big splash in the court.

Anyway, since the Taizu, the emperors of all dynasties in the Ming Dynasty have been quite protective of their eunuchs, and courtiers have long been used to it.

However, there are still a few censors who will write another book every two or three days to get a sense of their presence.

That's all, there are people Cheng Jing specially looking for.

If not, maybe this matter will be suppressed just like that.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at it, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

Judging by the thickness, there must be about ten books!

Has Cao Jixiang stabbed a hornet's nest?

After scanning these memorials one by one, Zhu Qiyu frowned and asked.

"Among these people, how many did you find?"

Cheng Jing took the memorials, glanced at them one by one, and replied.

"Returning to the emperor, there are three of them, Zhu Qing, the censor of Zhejiang Province, Yu Ying, the censor of the military department, and Lin Guangyuan, the censor of Shanxi Province. They were sent by the ministers."

Only three?

Zhu Qiyu looked through these memorials again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This is interesting...

After thinking for a while, Zhu Qiyu asked, "Where is Lu Zhong, what happened to what I ordered him to do?"

The previous time he summoned Lu Zhong to meet him, and asked him to investigate the criminal evidence of the ministers involved with Wang Zhen, which was only a superficial reason.

The deeper meaning is to let him find out the bottom line of all the ministers in the court.

You know, spying on news is Jin Yiwei's old profession!
Lu Zhong is a smart man, he obviously understood.

Cheng Jing replied: "The first batch of files, the numerous ministers in the court, the obvious qualifications, the same year, friendships, fellow countrymen and other interesting news have all been sent. For other more secret news, Commander Lu returned them. I'm inquiring, but it will take some time."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

"Go, bring me all the files of these people mentioned above."

Jinyiwei is still easy to use.

Although these people were suppressed by Dongchang, they were in their old profession after all.

Jinyiwei already had the files of the ministers of the court and the central government, but they were all information that was easy to find out.

Zhu Qiyu in his previous life didn't care much about these things.

After all, as the king, he can see the people who are serious, that is, the small group of people.

As for the contacts of officials below the third rank, he still can't get into his eyes.

If he hadn't seen the fierce party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty, he would not have thought of it.

The middle and low-level officials who were not valued by him before, through the relationship of fellow villagers, same year, teachers and students, unite, and have the power to influence the emperor.

With Yin Jian in front, he naturally had to prepare in advance.

Doesn't this work?
These files were placed in Qianqing Palace, so after a short conference, Cheng Jing came back with a pile of files.

Most of the officials mentioned above are not high-ranking officials and have low qualifications.

In other words, there is not much information about them, and the context is very clear.

Unlike those bigwigs in the imperial court, who have a lot of entanglements, even with the files, they can't figure out the clues.

Most of these people are censors, and they have not been in office for a few years, and their family backgrounds are very clear.

It took Zhu Qiyu a stick of incense to finish reading these materials.

But after reading it, he found it very interesting.

There are a total of [-] memorials for the impeachment of Cao Jixiang this time, three of which were found by Cheng Jing, and three of them were from Empress Dowager Sun.

Of the remaining eleven books, five were from the Imperial Academy, two were fellow villagers of Shen Yi from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and three were students of Chen Yi from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Looking at the content of their impeachment, Zhu Qiyu already had a firm guess in his heart, so he closed these memorials and ordered.

"These notebooks will continue to be kept in China, and there is no need to dispose of them."

Cheng Jing nodded, but there was some worry on his face, said.

"Your Majesty, the last time I stayed in the court, I didn't publish it. There have been discussions in the foreign court. This time there are so many censors playing, if I still stay in the court, I am afraid that these elders will play directly in the court tomorrow."

These days, Zhu Qiyu is still quite diligent, and the daily morning court is held on time.

Cheng Jing still had some discernment, and he could see that it was not simple behind this matter.

There are so many memorials, all of which are kept in the middle and not published, and those court officials will definitely play directly in the morning court tomorrow.

At that time, in front of so many ministers, it is hard not to deal with it.

However, Zhu Qiyu had already made up his mind, so he just waved his hands.

"It's okay, I have my own opinion."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu glanced at Cheng Jing, and asked a little strangely.

"In the past, you wouldn't talk so much, what happened today?"

Cheng Jing has always handled affairs properly and with great sense of proportion.

Generally speaking, only when Zhu Qiyu asked his opinion about these things, would he speak cautiously.

Just like today, Zhu Qiyu made a decision, but it was the first time that Cheng Jing secretly persuaded and questioned him.

Being stared at by the emperor, Cheng Jing immediately fell to his knees and said.

"Don't dare to lie to the emperor. Yesterday, Cao Jixiang came to the courtiers and said that the empress dowager of the Palace of Compassion and Ning summoned him to see him and asked him to concentrate on his work. However, he was impeached by the courtiers. He knew that only the emperor could protect him, so he begged The minister should say a few more good words for him in front of the emperor."

Zhu Qiyu's complexion became a little dark and inexplicable, and he tapped his knuckles on the table, but his tone could not hear happiness or anger.

"Then how do you think about it?"

Cheng Jing swallowed his saliva, kowtowed.

"Received by the emperor's great favor, the ministers dare not be selfish. They just feel that this Cao Jixiang has repeatedly made military exploits. The current momentum of the Beijing camp is too strong, and there are no middle officials to supervise the army. There may be changes. This Cao Jixiang can speak bluntly about the Palace of Compassion The empress dowager must also have the intention to win him over."

I see……

Zhu Qiyu sighed faintly, he finally figured out the mystery about Cheng Jing.

In the previous life, Cheng Jing said the same thing, but he didn't mention that Cao Jixiang came to him on his own initiative.

This is not surprising, Cao Jixiang came to Cheng Jing, after all, he secretly asked for it, and he might even bring gold and silver.

Although Cheng Jing is upright, he is not stupid.

If you tell Zhu Qiyu the inside story and make a good recommendation, you will inevitably be suspected of accepting bribes to help people get ahead.

When the time comes, the person fails to be recommended, but gets reprimanded instead, so why bother.

So when he recommended, he only said that Cao Jixiang was available.

Because Cheng Jing recommended a lot of people, and Zhu Qiyu in his previous life didn't check them all carefully, so Cao Jixiang escaped unharmed.

But this time, because Zhu Qiyu showed a strong dislike for Cao Jixiang from the very beginning.

So even Cheng Jing didn't dare to hide this inside story secretly, which is why the current scene came about.

Rubbing his forehead, Zhu Qiyu relaxed and said.

"Get up first, and tell me about this matter in detail."
