Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 117 The ministers fight each other! Request an order to suspend the trial! The emperor is also mentally ill! ?
Half an hour ago, the lobby of the Criminal Department.

"Okay! It's inappropriate to make noises! Anyone who makes any more noises will get out of here!"

This 'noise' was finally stopped loudly by Wang Xijue, the newly appointed chief minister of the cabinet.

Seeing that the situation was about to stabilize, Zhang Chonghui, who was still going crazy just now, was not happy anymore.

I saw Zhang Chonghui striding not far away, beside Shen Shixing who was in the process of saying "it has nothing to do with him". Regardless of the opponent's resistance, he raised his right hand! At the same time, he declared resistance and shouted loudly:

"You don't want to let go of my grandfather, let alone my Zhang family! But you actually involved Mr. Shen Ge in the demon book case! He is almost sixty this year!
Over the years, he has worked conscientiously and walked on thin ice. As the chief minister of the dignified cabinet, he did not dare to say a word when he was pointed at and scolded by people with junior official positions!

He has compromised like this, but you still refuse to let him go! What do you want? It's not enough for you to kill my grandfather! I also want La Shenge to be buried with my grandfather when he grows old! Are you willing to accept this? "

Zhang Chonghui's remarks can be said to be insincere, and Shen Shixing's reaction can also be said to be confused.

Almost gritting his teeth, Shen Shixing tried to withdraw his hand and said through his teeth: "Are you crazy? It's none of my business!"

Faced with Shen Shixing's gritted teeth and angry questions, Zhang Chonghui gave the other party a 'brilliant' smile and replied loudly: "Have you forgotten? I have mental illness, I have been crazy for a long time!"

Zhang Chonghui shook his head and argued madly: "I'm not crazy!"

The young man's smile was bright and sunny, and his voice was clear and hearty. However, combined with the content of his answer, it was 'weird' and mind-numbing...

However, beneath the surface of seemingly knowing nothing, Shen Yiguan is even more enlightened in his heart! The reason why he didn't speak was not only because he was still analyzing the situation, but also because he was waiting for Wang Xijue, the chief minister of the cabinet, to make the first move!
However, Shen had always underestimated Wang Xijue's ability to endure. He thought that given his impatience, he should have exploded a long time ago!
But what Shen Guangyuan didn't expect was that Wang Xijue was extremely calm throughout the whole process. Apart from his unsightly expression, he seemed to be letting the situation become chaotic, with an aura of 'I want to see what kind of chaos it can get into'!

Guo Zhengyu also paused. Not daring to accept these words easily, he quickly looked at Shen Li. After receiving a 'nod' from the other party, Guo Zhengyu dared to ask loudly:
"Zhang Chonghui, you are so brave! You dare to say that the emperor is 'defeating the enemy'!"

At this point, Zhang Chonghui suddenly laughed. While taking turns scanning the Hanlin bachelors standing in a row, he sneered like a 'curse':

Guo Zhengyu, who was about to 'retreat', was indeed 'pulled' back. He was so impatient that he could not bear the slander of 'speaking for the guilty minister'.

Anyway, if we continue to be messed up like this, after today, there will definitely be words that are uglier than 'Ke Shi'.

Yu Shenxing slammed the table and said angrily: "Alas! It seems that this kid's mental illness has relapsed! How can we try this!"

For a moment, the only voices in the entire Criminal Department lobby were Zhang Chonghui, Yu Shenxing, and Guo Zhengyu.

"My grandfather and Mr. Shen Ge were both teachers of the emperor. They devoted themselves to the Ming Dynasty for many years. Even if they had no merit, they still had hard work. However, the fate of these two emperor's teachers is so pitiful!
From now on, I am afraid that after hearing this, both the scholars in the world and the ordinary people who are living in precarious life will joke that the current emperor is "conquering the master"! "

Naturally, Yu Shenxing would not miss this opportunity. He was the first one to say "assist":

In the crowd, Shen Li silently retreated to the back of the crowd, preparing to leave this place of right and wrong.

Now, the scene that had finally calmed down was instigated by Zhang Chonghui again.

Even though Shen Zimu understood what Shen Yiguan meant, and was a little surprised that the other party made this decision, Shen Zimu did not hesitate, and even spoke directly to Guo Zhengyu who was about to leave!

On the surface, you are blaming Zhang Chonghui, but in fact, you seem to be secretly speaking for Zhang Juzheng, the guilty minister? "

Guo Zhengyu's 'response' was quite intriguing. Wang Xijue and Shen Guanyi realized that something was wrong, but even if they wanted to 'stop', it was already too late!
Zhang Chonghui seemed to be prepared in advance, speaking very fast but clearly and clearly, saying:
"I said that the emperor 'conquered the master'? Mr. Guo, don't you know how the common people in the streets talk about the emperor and the emperor today?
Nowadays, the gossip about the emperor among the people is thousands of times more shocking than the thin word "killing the master"! The harshness is even worse than the sound of gongs and cannons!
No one knows that the case of 'Demon Book' happened out of nowhere, how long it has been and how many people have been arrested! Mr. Shen Ge and I, the so-called 'culprits', were imprisoned and tried again!
But that's already the case, and now the 'demon books' outside are still being spread everywhere! It is said that the trend has spread to remote areas such as Southern Zhili, Guangdong and Guangxi!

As soon as the word 'killing the master' came out, many people present realized something!
——This will be a great opportunity to 'use the topic'! But this opportunity... is not so easy to 'seize'...

Shen Shixing could only helplessly close his eyes. He knew that Zhang Chonghui wanted to confuse the matter again, and he was even more helpless. Why did the other party only blame him every time when trying to gather wool?

"If you don't believe it, send people outside to inquire! Go and see, the people outside are under your "public retaliation for private"! How harshly can you scold your emperor and king!"

Seeing that Wang Xijue was not ready to say anything yet, and Guo Zhengyu, who had come to stir up the confusion, was about to 'evacuate the battlefield' at Shen Li's signal, Shen Yiguan finally couldn't sit down anymore!

Yu Shenxing immediately said: "He has gone crazy, he doesn't know what he is talking about!"

Guo Zhengyu also shook his head and smiled: "Crazy people like to say that they are not crazy."

In your eyes, other than using official information to seek personal gain, with the intention of 'bringing down' our entire Zhang family, retaliating against the innocent Mr. Shen Ge, and bringing the Emperor into disrepute, is there nothing else? "

"Destroyed? More than destroyed?" Zhang Chonghui also hurriedly spoke, looking around at the Hanlin Academy bachelors in the hall, and sneered:

Don't the officials present know who the so-called 'you' are?
Those are not only the "colleagues" in the DPRK, but also themselves!
However, precisely because of this knowledge, these scholars became even more panicked!
Because they did 'all' do it!
If His Majesty the Emperor is really angry and a 'real' investigation is carried out, then...

The three of them sang and harmonized, no matter whether there was anyone outside who dared to call His Majesty the Emperor a "defeat" or something like that.

Before leaving, Shen Li glanced at Guo Zhengyu, who was in the middle of the battle, indicating that he could just muddy the water and withdraw.

When everyone present saw this somewhat crazy scene, most of them thought to themselves: "It seems like he is really crazy!"

"Although Zhang Taiyue is guilty, he was once the teacher of the current emperor! And Mr. Shen Ge, he was also the teacher of the current emperor!
These two teachers of the emperor are unwilling to let go. How much do you want the emperor to be known as ruthless and unkind! "

"What? You don't believe it?" Zhang Chonghui seemed to be really crazy. It was as if he didn't realize how 'discourteous' his words just now were, and he asked again knowingly:

"Master Guo!" Shen Zimu directly called out the names, and pointed out forcefully:

We can't let Zhang Chonghui go just like this!
And Wang Xijue!
However, Shen Yiguan would not speak out on his own. He even gave his confidant Shen Zimu a 'death-and-death' gesture.

"I just said that I always feel that there is something wrong with what you just said. After thinking about it for a while, I realized...

And the 'crime' that caused His Majesty the Emperor to be scolded was pushed onto the 'you' they were talking about thanks to the 'concerted efforts' of the three of them.

However, Shen Li's 'look' was seen by Shen Yiguan!
Shen Yiguan seemed to be in a daze the whole time, looking like a helpless old man who couldn't figure out the situation and reacted too slowly.

We absolutely cannot let Guo Zhengyu go like this!

"What do you mean by our emperor and father? Zhang Chonghui, you are also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty!" Guo Zhengyu shouted immediately.

Such a bizarre phenomenon shows that the culprit of the 'Demon Book' case is still at large! But you, the ministers who eat the emperor's salary, let the thieves run free!

"You don't know yet? Outside now, even the beggars who are delirious on the streets are laughing and saying that you, the 'Prince Prime Minister', are going to be unlucky at any time!"
Wait! The 'sharp arrows' you shoot now will sooner or later be shot back to your own 'eyebrows'! Then 'you' will be the next my grandfather! The next application time is ready! "

Guo Zhengyu also seized the opportunity, followed closely, and snorted coldly: "Ha! If things continue like this, the emperor's holy name will be destroyed by 'you' sooner or later!"

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!" Yu Shenxing loudly interrupted Zhang Chonghui's "crazy words" and warned: "You are really crazy!"

Yu Shenxing was a student of Zhang Juzheng, so it was okay to say a few words for the teacher, but Guo Zhengyu was not a student of Zhang Juzheng.

Guo Zhengyu retorted angrily: "Which of your ears heard me speaking for Zhang Taiyue?"

Shen Zimu did not answer, but still insisted on convicting the other party: "Guo Meiming, you speak for Zhang Juzheng like this, is it possible that you have been favored by Zhang Juzheng?"

"Hahaha!" Guo Zhengyu laughed a few times, as if he didn't take the other party's 'slander' into consideration. At this time, all he wanted to do was 'severely' refute the other party, and he no longer had the intention to look at Shen Li, who was already about to Eyes that are smoking.

"Joke!" Guo Zhengyu retorted confidently: "I was a Jinshi in the eleventh year of Wanli! Zhang Taiyue passed away in the tenth year of Wanli! Have I received favors from him? Shen Zimu, you have to calculate the time correctly if you want to blame me!"

Shen Zimu just said lightly: "But you, like Zhang Taiyue, are both from Huguang."

As soon as these words came out, Guo Zhengyu was even more angry that the other party couldn't understand human speech, and at the same time he was even more eager to prove his innocence!

Once a person falls into a situation of 'self-certification', it means that he has fallen into the other party's trap!

That's passive!
Shen Yiguan finally spoke, and he looked like a good teacher explaining to Guo Zhengyu, and said to Shen Zimu: "Oh, Runan, you misunderstood your fate. Although he is from Huguang like the criminal Zhang Taiyue , but his ancestral home is Luzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili.

Now that the Zhang family is implicated in the demon book case, Mei Ming can't stand it and wants to say a few words to the Zhang family. Although it's a bit inappropriate, it's human nature, right?
And 'even if' Mei Ming had ever interacted with Zhang Taiyue, that was in the past. How many years have passed, let’s not hold on to these old things. "

Shen Yiguan's 'explanation' became more and more confusing the more he explained it, it was like pouring a puddle of dog feces on Guo Zhengyu's body. No matter how the other party washed it, it would leave a 'smell'!
How could Guo Zhengyu endure this kind of "tea in tea" slander forced on him? He was so angry that he pointed at Shen Yiguan and cursed:
"Shen Jianwu, you are so confusing right and wrong! How can you pretend to be a good person who can speak for me? You want to be a bitch! You also want to build a memorial arch?"

"Ah? Good luck... I spoke for you kindly... Why do you still humiliate me like this... I... I was wronged..." Shen Guangyuan's face was full of grievances.

Guo Zhengyu was almost sickened by the other party's pretense, and he was so angry that he wished he could punch this old guy in public!
Fortunately, Guo Zhengyu still had some sense. Just when he was about to regain his senses after suppressing his emotions, Shen Zimu's words completely angered him!

"Guo Zhengyu, Mr. Shen is your teacher after all. He speaks for you everywhere, but you repay kindness with hatred!"

Seeing that such accusations were not 'fiery' enough, Shen Zimu gritted his teeth and indiscriminately forcibly 'convicted' Guo Zhengyu and said:

"Guo Zhengyu! You are so eloquent! Not only are you defending Zhang Juzheng openly and secretly! You are also from Huguang! I think you are Zhang Juzheng's old party! I will go back and write a memorial right now! I will impeach you, Zhang Juzheng's old party, who has ulterior motives!"

At this moment, Guo Zhengyu, who was already on the verge of rage, finally couldn't bear it anymore!
It was enough to slander him because he had been favored by Zhang Juzheng. Now, without any evidence, he was directly accused of being the 'Zhang Juzheng's old party'!

How could Guo Zhengyu bear such an unwarranted 'big crime'?

In anger, the arrogant Hanlin bachelor raised his fist and hit Shen Zimu with a loud curse:

"Old Shacai! Take my punch!"

At this moment, the situation can be said to be completely out of control!
There was a fight, and regardless of the presiding judge, hearing, or jury, the crowds rushed to the center of the hall and came to break up the fight.

However, this kind of persuasion is quite 'powerful'. From the beginning, there were only two people fighting, and the persuasion turned into a group fight!
However, no matter how the fight turned out, Shen Yiguan always lingered outside and shouted anxiously:
"Stop! Stop it! Stop fighting!"

Although he was shouting like this on his face, Shen Yiguan was actually saying madly in his heart:
"Fight! Fight! The harder you fight! The more chaos you make, the better!"

Shen Guanyi knew very well that today's trial had been completely invalidated by Zhang Chonghui, Guo Zhengyu, Yu Shenxing and others' "foolishness"!

Shen Guanyi knew better that Zhang Chonghui's "conquering the master" remarks just now would definitely be spread by some people with "ulterior motives" after today!

By then, it will not just be as simple as His Majesty being ruthless and ungrateful and having a bad reputation!

By then, these ministers who 'forced' their father to defeat their masters will not only face the true wrath of the emperor! Thorough investigation! This will even lead to mutual criticism between dissidents! In the process of climbing for no reason!
In fact, this will be a great opportunity to strengthen the party! This will be a sharp blade to eliminate dissidents!
However, with such a great opportunity and such a sharp blade, if you are not careful, it will become a steel knife that stabs you!

Shen Guanyi knew very well that now was not the time to 'take risks'!
This is not a good time to 'make trouble' not only for the 'Zhejiang Party' that he will develop, but also for other 'dissident' parties that will develop!
After all, 'their' butts are not clean...

All in all, that is to say, this demon book case cannot be done! The trial continues!
If the trial continues, not only will His Majesty the Emperor be reviled by the world! They are the civil servants who have 'stood in the way' in the demon book case! He will also be dragged into the endless abyss of 'not the right time'!

The demon book case cannot be tried. This is what His Majesty the Emperor wants, but it is not what Shen always wants.

Because as Zhang Chonghui said, the settlement of the demon book case means Wang Xijue's meritorious service!

This also means that Wang Xijue will be deeply favored by the saints, have power, and firmly sit in the position of chief minister!

By then, he will be Shen Yiguan, and he will never be able to "enter the cabinet"!
Shen always didn't want the 'Demon Book Case' to be settled so quickly, but now he was faced with a situation where he 'had to' settle it!

In the situation of 'neither', 'but not', Shen Yiguan has only one choice!
That is to mess things up even more within the scope of one's ability!
When the chaos becomes unmanageable, Wang Xijue, the chief judge and chief minister of the cabinet, must take responsibility and be punished by His Majesty the Emperor!
One punishment may not drive Wang Xijue away! But twice! three times! Four times!
If it doesn’t work, five times!

Shen Yiguan's purpose is obvious. He wants to use his 'own way' to bring down Wang Xijue! You can replace it yourself!
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, and Shen Yiguan was getting more and more crazy, when he was on the edge of the crowd, a cool male voice suddenly came from behind his ears!

"Shilang Shen."

Shen Yiguan knew almost instantly that it was Zhang Chonghui's voice! When he hurriedly looked back at the other party, he asked urgently:
"Why are you here?"

Zhang Chonghui did not answer, but asked strangely: "Did you forget something?"

Shen Yiguan's heart suddenly thumped, knowing that the other party wanted to use his previous 'cooperation' to threaten him, but he still pretended to be stupid and said: "I warn you not to slander me!"

Zhang Chonghui smiled and shook his head, saying, "Ha, it's not that."

"Ah?" Shen Yiguan didn't know what the other party was talking about, but watching the other party's footsteps getting closer, he already had an ominous premonition in his heart!
Looking at the other people, they are all 'immersed' in the 'fighting' now, and no one has time to care about the situation here!
No, someone is free!
But there are only two people...

One of them is Wang Xijue; the other is Yu Shenxing.

Shen Yiguan was already sweating profusely. Looking at the tall young man who was getting closer and closer, at this moment he really felt the helplessness of 'the boys in the south village are bullying me because I am old and helpless'! In desperation, he shouted:

"Zhang Chonghui! I'm warning you! This is the scene of the interrogation! I am the official of the court! If you touch me, you will kill the nine tribes!"

"The official of the imperial court? Kill the nine tribes?" Zhang Chonghui asked with a smile. In the end, Youyou said nine words to Shen Yiguan:

"Have you forgotten? I'm mentally ill!"

Before he finished speaking, a "boom" sounded! A fist as big as a sandbag! It hit Shen Yiguan!
……

Qianqing Palace.

When he learned that the 'good sons' were fighting with each other until the very end of the trial, Zhu Yijun, the 'Emperor's Father', was so angry that he stood up!

The emperor, who had handicap on his legs and feet, walked back and forth several times in this huge palace, leaning on a cane and dragging his residual leg.

The only thing that echoed in the hall was Zhang Cheng's anxious and trembling report...

"Your Majesty, Uncle Guo's wheelchair was kicked over in the chaos. I heard from Uncle Guo that it was Zhang Chonghui who kicked him on purpose...

But when Zhang Chonghui bit him to death, he suddenly suffered from... mental illness... I don't know exactly what happened...

And the Minister Shen also received several punches from Zhang Chonghui, and now he can't even get out of bed...

Wang Shoufu went up to break up the fight, but was almost beaten too. Fortunately, Shangshu went up and held down Zhang Chonghui who was going crazy..."

Zhang Cheng reported on the "tragic situation" that happened not long ago, but this is not the worst, because the real worst is yet to come.

"Your Majesty... Among the officials of the Sixth Section, there are also the censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as well as certain officials from the Hanlin Academy and the Sixth Department. Many of them have come to ask you, Your Majesty... to stop interrogating this demonic book case. Already..."

After hearing these words, Zhu Yijun finally stopped. Almost instantly, he slammed the crutch in his hand to the ground!
But then, Zhu Yijun didn't get angry, but instead laughed inexplicably!
"Haha...I'm scared! They're scared!"

Zhu Yijun pressed Chen Ju's shoulders and smiled as if he was having a seizure:

"Afraid! Chen Ju! They are afraid! These civil servants who are not afraid of death! They are actually afraid!"

"What even I can't do! Zhang Chonghui actually did it? He actually... made these civil servants who are not even afraid of death... afraid?"

"Hahaha...he is so awesome!"

"'He'...'is still so awesome...hahaha..."

Zhu Yijun laughed nervously. This scene frightened both Chen Ju and Zhang Cheng!
The two of them couldn't help but have a bad idea——

——Mental illness... shouldn't be contagious to people, right?
Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor... was infected by Zhang Chonghui?
