The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Above the court hall, the high-ranking Long Qing was sitting on the emperor's throne, looking at the booklet in his hand quite intently. Below, the courtiers, except for those two or three who knew the situation, did not know Feng Baocheng What exactly was written on the booklet that went up, they all looked at Long Qing's face curiously, as if they wanted to see something from the changes in the expression on his face.

It is said that there are two or three insiders. In the final analysis, it is just Zhang Fan, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. Feng Bao has been planning for this matter for a long time, just to wait for this moment, so that he can beat Meng Chong and Gao Gong. One was caught off guard, so naturally he would not leak the news without authorization, and when Zhang Fan learned of Feng Bao's plan, he was in Yangzhou, so there was no time to tell others about it, and Zhang Juzheng had just returned from the hospital a few hours ago. Zhang Fan got this news, not to mention that Zhang Juzheng was strict in his work and never talked nonsense, even if he wanted to say it, he had no chance to say it.

After all, these people above the court don't know about this matter, so they are so curious. After all, what is Feng Bao's identity? He would tell Long Qing in front of these ministers, but this time, he actually played Long Qing openly in the court. Such an abnormal thing also made these ministers very curious.

Gao Gong understood that there were many very unpleasant factors between himself and Feng Bao. Just because Feng Bao missed the position of eunuch in charge of the ceremony twice, Feng Bao hated Gao Gong to the bone, but Gao Gong didn't think so. What does Feng Bao's performance this time have anything to do with him? After all, he hasn't done anything recently. Even if he impeached Zhang Fan several times before, the result is nothing. I understand that even if the matter Feng Bao played has no direct relationship with him, it will inevitably involve him indirectly. Get ready to fight back.

Those ministers below are not idiots, and they can guess some, but to be honest, most of them don't care who is involved in this matter, who will be unlucky, what they care about is this matter How big is it? For these people, apart from the time when Xu Jie became an official after Long Qing ascended the throne, there has not been any major event related to the court. They just want to watch the excitement, and the more exciting it is , the more they want to see.

As Long Qing read it, the people below who were waiting to see the fun became more and more happy. The reason for their happiness was simple, because they saw that Long Qing's brows were frowning along with the length of the memorial. It's getting stronger and stronger, which is obviously a sign that something big is about to happen.

"Bastard, it's unreasonable," Long Qing, who had finished reading the memorial, slammed it down on the desk in front of him, his face was extremely grim, it could be said that he hated it to the extreme, and his voice showed great anger .

This kind of scene has appeared, and the people below know that someone is definitely going to be in bad luck, and the consequences are definitely very serious. Now they just want to know who that person is.

But Feng Bao had a smug look on his face, obviously Long Qing's current performance would definitely satisfy him.

"Meng Chong, come out for me," Long Qing shouted.

Hearing Meng Chong's name, the people below were a little surprised. It was no wonder that it had not been long since Meng Chong had sat in the position of the eunuch in charge of the chief of ceremonies with his trouser legs that were stretched high. Moreover, Meng Chong gave these ministers the impression that he was mediocre, and he had no real talent. In fact, the ministers were quite relieved that such a person was in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. People always feel that this group of eunuchs has taken away the rights of officials like them, especially the people in the cabinet, and a person with mediocre qualifications, a rather old man who has not had a good job for a few years will naturally not cause trouble. Their displeasure, for them, there are ways to control Meng Chong.

But now, Long Qing was actually shouting Meng Chong's name with an angry voice. It was obvious that Meng Chong was not as honest and mediocre as they thought, and something big must have happened.

After Gao Gong heard Long Qing's voice, the first thought that came to his mind was "as expected", and he knew that his previous judgment was absolutely correct. Although it will not have any direct relationship with him, it must be indirectly connected with him. After all, Meng Chong, who has no intelligence and knowledge, can become the eunuch with the palm seal of the supervisor, all thanks to him. No matter what "remarkable" thing Meng Chong did, it must inevitably involve him Gao Gong.

Gao Gong would not have hoped that Feng Bao used false guesses to impeach Meng Chong this time. After all, the two were enemies and knew each other well. A person who can make random moves, and the only thing Gao Gong expects now is that Feng Bao's impeachment of Meng Chong should be done by Meng Chong alone, and it's best not to have anything to do with politics In this case, Gao Gong would have the possibility to stay out of the matter.

"Slave... Slave is here," Meng Chong, who had been allowed to appear in the court hall by exception for a few days after hearing Long Qing's angry voice, hurried to the center of the hall, knelt down in front of Long Qing, and was quite agitated. With the appearance of crawling, he looked very embarrassed.

"You...you..." Long Qing pointed at Meng Chong, glared at him, couldn't speak for a long time, but smiled angrily, and casually threw the copybook that he slammed on the case just now in front of him , said, "Read for yourself,"

Although Meng Chong didn't know what happened, he still picked up the booklet with trembling hands, opened it and read it.

When Meng Chong looked at it this way, the expression on his face was a bit exciting, showing doubts on his face, then panic, and finally his entire face turned into a sour purple color, and his whole body trembled even more. Huge.

Seeing Meng Chong like this, the people on the side naturally understood that Meng Chong was really in trouble today, but they were still very curious about what Feng Bao had impeached Meng Chong to make him so scared.

"Your servant is wronged," Meng Chong burst into tears immediately after reading the excerpt, and shouted that he was wronged like a heart-piercing lung. Snow came to suit the occasion.

"Wrong," Long Qing asked back, "Since you think you are wronged, then tell me loudly and read the contents of the notebook, and let the civil and military officials who are standing here now judge and see you. Is it wrong?"

"..." Hearing Long Qing's words, Meng Chong fought even harder.

But the courtiers at the side showed longing eyes. Obviously, they also wanted to know what was written in the booklet.

"...the supervisor of ceremonies...the eunuch with palm seal...Meng Chong..." After a while, Meng Chong finally began to read, "When he was in office, he corrupted the law and threatened them to bribe him. What's more, his Knowing that the Yangzhou eunuch Liu Shan formed a party to embezzle money, not only did he not report it to the court in time, but he wanted to make a profit from it..."

"Your Majesty, please allow Rong Weichen to say something." Before Meng Chong finished reading, Gao Gong stood up like that. He didn't even wait for Long Qing to agree to his unauthorized interruption. Get up, "Eunuch Feng's report involves a lot, and there is no evidence from Eunuch Feng to prove that Eunuch Meng is really involved with Liu Shan, and Liu Shan is still under execution, I'm afraid..." Gao Gong I don't know what's going on, when he heard that this matter had something to do with Liu Shan, he actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but just now, he was worried again, worried whether Feng Bao would take this matter It is implicated in him, after all, although Liu Shan has died, what he did is too important, and now the person who is implicated in Liu Shan must die ten times.

"Gao Aiqing," Long Qing interrupted Gao Gong without waiting for Gao Gong to finish speaking, and his tone was very light, without any special emotions in it, but it made people feel the coercion hidden in it, "You This impulsive temperament really needs to be changed, Meng Chong hasn’t finished reading it yet, and when he finishes reading it, you’re drawing conclusions.”

When Gao Gong heard what Long Qing said, his impulsiveness just now was instantly suppressed, and he quickly stood back to his spot. Gao Gong was a little terrified, and he kept blaming himself for why he was so impulsive just now, and why he did such a thing. Unwise move.

"Meng Chong, continue reading for me," Long Qing said.

"...Meng Chong has been in hiding for a long time, and now with Liu Shan's death, the evidence has also surfaced..." After reading this, Meng Chong couldn't read any more. The previous Meng Chong didn't think too much about Liu Shan's death. Although this is equivalent to losing a source of huge funds for him, he will feel a little pity, but he has not had too much resentment, and he always thinks that he has not left behind anything Even if Liu Shan falls, he will not be affected in any way.

But Meng Chong did not expect that Liu Shan would unilaterally record the transaction between them. In this way, as long as the court has the record, no matter whether it is true or not, they will go back and verify it. will be exposed.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, please forgive me..." Meng Chong began to kowtow and beg for mercy after thinking about it.
