People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 24 You don’t want to be His Majesty’s ministers, but you want to be His Majesty’s father.

You must know that he only communicated with Fang Congjian yesterday.

At that time, he was still writing in the letter that he supported the other party's simplicity.

Of course he knew that what he supported was Fang Congjian's opposition to Chen Han's reforms.

But if this matter is colluded with the Nightmare Town Technique.

Everyone would conclude that Zhang Siwei was heartily supporting Fang Congjian in practicing the Nightmare Suppression Technique.

If these were involved together, it would be a serious crime for the whole family to be executed.

If he knew that Fang Congjian was doing this, Zhang Siwei would not have written back to Fang Congjian even if he was beaten to death.

Of course, Zhang Siwei was not the only one who was feeling uneasy at this moment.

Everyone knows that this is nonsense.

It is impossible to have any effect at all, but it is the worst tactic in political struggle.

This is something that if someone gets infected with it, they will have to shed their skin even if they don't die.

Especially those ministers who had just impeached Chen Han, their expressions changed drastically when they heard that Emperor Wanli said that Cong Fang had found voodoo dolls from Jian's house.

They are very sensitive and understand very well that if Chen Han uses this thing to frame charges, then wouldn't he and others who just impeached Chen Han be on the list?

So the Minister of Rites immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, these rumors are not credible! This is done deliberately, this is a frame-up!"

The Hu Bu also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been many cases of using witchcraft to blame court officials. This must be Chen Han deliberately blaming Fang Congjian, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

The right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs also stood up: "This is true. Mr. Fang has always been loyal to the imperial court. How could he do such a thing."

Emperor Wanli stood up and said, "How come I cooperate with you in the petition to impeach Chen Aiqing because you are dedicated to the public good? Chen Aiqing has found conclusive evidence, but in your eyes, it is a frame-up. You have said all the truth, right?"

This……

The courtiers were rendered speechless.

But they still said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, I am dedicated to serving the public good and have no selfish motives!"

"I have been familiar with the books of sages since childhood. In my heart, I only have the imperial court and the people of the world. Even if I impeach Chen Han, I still feel that he is incompetent. It is ridiculous to be the commander of the Jinyi Guards."

"The hearts of my ministers can be seen from the sun and the moon. We are only loyal to Your Majesty wholeheartedly and never dare to have the slightest bad intention."

Emperor Wanli was young, but under Chen Han's control, he exuded an intimidating aura: "You guys really have a sharp mouth. I let you say anything. Do you think this is Chen Aiqing's repentance after being wronged? Then I will find evidence for you, Cao Zhengchun!"

Cao Zhengchun stood up: "My servant is here!"

"Show them the evidence!" Emperor Wanli said.

Cao Zhengchun took out the voodoo doll and the letter written by Fang Congjian.

Then the little eunuch carried it and showed it to the courtiers below.

The expressions of many ministers who came around changed.

Fang Congjian had exchanged letters with them, and they were all familiar with it. After reading it just now, they really felt that it was Fang Congjian's handwriting.

"Are you speechless now?" Emperor Wanli said.

But the courtiers were still dissatisfied.

The Minister of Rites even stood up directly: "Your Majesty must not conclude that Fang Congjian has the intention to rebel just because of a letter and a little rag doll. This is obviously not enough to prove his motives.

After all, everyone knows that doing such a thing would be a grave sin that would bring disaster to the nine races.

Fang Congjian is definitely not a three-year-old child, how could he be so careless? "

The courtiers all agreed: "Your Majesty, what Anbudo said is true. This matter involves too much. Fang Congjian has always been cautious in doing things. How could he commit such an outrageous mistake?"

"Your Majesty, I guess it may be Chen Han, the thief, who did this deliberately in order to frame the blame." "Yes! Chen Han had just become the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and he committed the crime just now. This is such a coincidence." Then the right minister of the Ministry of Rites He also looked at Chen Han: "Mr. Chen, you used to be a handyman at the Imperial Hospital. How did you know before that Fang Congjian had a doll with the Nightmare Suppression Technique hidden in his home?"

Chen Han looked at him with disdain.

Emperor Wanli shouted loudly: "Okay, you guys, after all, you are still not satisfied with Chen Aiqing being promoted by me in an unusual way!"

"I don't dare!" The courtiers knelt down one after another: "I am just worried that Your Majesty is young and can easily be taken advantage of by villains!"

Chen Han asked back: "I am a villain. Yes, as long as His Majesty makes an extraordinary promotion, anyone who has not been approved by you is a villain. Does that mean that in your eyes, His Majesty's decision must be approved by you?" , I think you don’t want to be His Majesty’s ministers, but rather want to be His Majesty’s father!”

puff……

The courtiers almost spit out blood.

This Chen Han is so evil in what he does. He can say anything.

Zhang Juzheng has been watching with cold eyes.

He once had this thought in his heart. He wanted to be both the emperor's husband and the emperor's father.

Every courtier present had this thought, who made the emperor too young?

"Bold Chen Han, you are simply treasonous. How dare you say such nonsense? You deserve to die just for this sentence!"

"Yes! Damn it! Your Majesty, this thief has bad intentions and deserves to be executed!"

"Your Majesty, the thief's ambition has finally been revealed. Such a person should be hacked to death!"

"Your Majesty, you should pull this thief down and chop him down!"

Zhang Juzheng was also frightened by Chen Han's evil tricks.

This is not something that ordinary ministers would dare to say.

"The traitor Chen Han has committed two more serious crimes. One is to tarnish the Holy Lord, and the other is to slander his colleagues."

Emperor Wanli smiled on the throne and said: "Is it slander? Mr. Zhang Ge, did Chen Aiqing say in front of Fang Congjian in the cabinet duty room yesterday that reforms were to be carried out?

The content of the reform is to re-measure the world's land, combine all kinds of messy taxes into one, pay them in silver, let those with more fields pay more taxes, and those with less fields pay less taxes, and also cancel the capitation tax.

Fang Congjian's family had a lot of fertile land, but they didn't have to pay taxes.

When he heard such tax reform, he naturally disapproved of it, so he returned to the house and not only used the magic of Nightmare to curse me to an early death, but also wanted to replace me, because I would definitely agree to the reform!

Mr. Zhang Ge, as well as all the dear ministers in the cabinet, can you testify that Fang Congjian left at that time because he heard about Chen Aiqing's reforms? "

Zhang Juzheng walked out of the train and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Congjian's temperament changed drastically when he heard about the reform, so he left for an excuse."

Other cabinet ministers also came forward to testify.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not interested in Zhang Juzheng's evidence at all.

What surprised them was the reform in His Majesty's mouth.

When these smart people heard this, they thought something big was going to happen.

Re-measure the land, those with more fields will pay more taxes, and those with less fields will pay less taxes;

It is also necessary to sum up all kinds of miscellaneous taxes and pay them in silver.

Both of these are fatal.

Because this is their source of wealth.

Absolutely not!

This is definitely not possible...
