Daming wolf ride

The Wenhua Hall, cabinet ministers, officials of the Six Departments, Taoist officials of the Palm Printing Department, officials of the Jinyiwei Hall, and officials of the fifth rank and above in each yamen, hundreds of people filled the Wenhua Hall at once.

On both sides of the hall, the big Han generals maintaining order kept their eyes on them. On the upper steps of the hall, four young eunuchs stood there with their heads bowed.

The hundreds of officials in the hall are also well-defined, and the divisions are also obvious. There are not many honored relatives. Standing at the far west, in the middle are the officials from the Six Departments and Ke Dao, and behind them are officials ranked in order of rank. The ones to the east are the cabinet members, and there are officials behind them, but including the important ministers, they are all yamen except for the six departments, and there are also two acquaintances of Jinyiwei.Zhou Yanru was also in this class. Although he was dismissed as the chief assistant, he was still a scholar of the Dongge University and had not become an official. It is reasonable for him not to go to the palace, but for some reason, Chongzhen made a special order for him to go to the palace.He stood there, the old god was there, with a confident look, it seemed that he had done what he should do, and today he must make the emperor bow his head, if Wang Kun is not severely punished, his face will be ashamed There is no place to put it.If all the courtiers can attack the officials of the foreign court like Wang Kun, the court will lose face, and the scholar-officials will lose face again!

All the officials knew what the theme of this palace meeting was. Donglin was raging, and those who were not Donglin were also united. After all, they were all foreign ministers. If you don’t want to be the vanguard, it’s okay to play the flag in the back.Most of the noble relatives are well-known and powerful, and they have been bullied by the civil servants a lot. They don't have the guts to confront them, so they can only wait and watch the excitement with the idea that it has nothing to do with them.Those who are interested don't look at other places, just stare at Zhou Yanru, see who he is making eye contact with, and after a while, you will know who are the ones who are in battle.

The front of the hall was relatively calm, and they were all high-ranking people, so they would not be too rude, but the officials of the fourth and fifth ranks at the back were all whispering there, and some of them flushed with excitement.The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the staff of the six departments are also quite energetic, just waiting for the emperor to perform well when he comes. [

On the first hall, only Wen Tiren had an ugly face, and stood there a little uneasy. On the one hand, this uneasiness was because of the upcoming Chongzhen, and on the other hand, it was because of Zhou Yanru, who had the name of the chief assistant but had the power of the chief assistant behind him.

The situation in the palace had already been reported to Chongzhen by the inner supervisor. After Chongzhen sneered a few times, he decided to preemptively attack after going to the palace. We must not let those guys speak first, otherwise you will rush to speak if you talk to me and the crowd is raging , when it's his turn to be the emperor, Longyan can't just scold him angrily as soon as they confront each other.

After all the officials knelt down and saluted and got up, it was supposed that the emperor had something to do, but after Chongzhen waited for all the officials to salute, he immediately said: "I have read the memorials of Qing and others, and all the ministers know about the appointment of ministers. As soon as I ascended the throne, before Wei Eun was removed, I withdrew all the ministers sent during the Tianqi period. Why are we sending them out again now? Qing and other memorials said that I do not trust civil and military affairs. Why do I not trust civil and military affairs? It's too bad, I have no choice but to use it expediently. If civil and military ministers are sincere in doing things, it will not be difficult to withdraw. If you have other matters, you can retreat."

The emperor was the first to speak out and said that he was about to retreat, and all the officials couldn't help being stunned, a little caught off guard, but they were just stunned for a moment, and then Min Hongxue, who had only taken office for a few days, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I think that when my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, made repeated orders when he founded the country, the internal ministers were not allowed to interfere in foreign affairs, and the yamen of the outer court were not allowed to exchange documents with the internal ministers. It is a pity that there were frequent internal ministers intervening in foreign affairs, but when His Majesty first ascended the throne in August of the seventh year of Tianqi, The decree is to withdraw all the guards, and the world is full of praise. However, today His Majesty wants the ministers to supervise the army and prevent foreign affairs. The minister thinks that His Majesty's move will only make him lose his eyes and ears, and the governor of the border town will lose his power. So I beg Your Majesty takes it back!" After finishing speaking, Min Hongxue knelt down again, with the appearance of admonishing faithfully.

The first person to stand out turned out to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who was promoted by himself. Chongzhen felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly, swallowed twice, and said coldly: "I don't know about Taizu Mingxun, but since Chengzu, the ancestors of all dynasties have also All of them are for temporary use. The internal ministers are here to be driven by me. When I send the internal ministers, I have my own judgments. I will definitely not let Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian come out again. You don’t have to be suspicious.”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Zongzhou, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, stood up, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has never been an eunuch who has not wronged the country. Can these ministers and workers be trusted by one of them? If there is a critical day, Regardless of the scholars and bureaucrats in the world, these eunuchs cannot be in danger together."

He was too proud of himself, after hearing Liu Zongzhou's words, Chongzhen couldn't help being angry, even the little eunuchs in the palace were furious, Wang Dehua even snorted and cursed a few words secretly.Liu Zongzhou's words beat everyone in the inner court to death with a single stick. Could they not hate it?

"Internal ministers can't share safety and danger, but foreign ministers can do it? Huh, ministers on the border are always cheating and playing, but they can't follow their posts to correct and impeach, and the deceit of the national economy and frontier defense is getting worse! Is this sharing safety with me? Ministers If I do things sincerely, why would I need this generation!" The more Chongzhen said, the more angry he became, he could see that if he backed down a little, something might happen in the palace today.If you want to solve the matter well, you must not only pre-empt strikes, but also show the appearance of the emperor, otherwise, they will not be able to shock them.

Sure enough, seeing the Son of Heaven's harsh tone, Liu Zongzhou didn't dare to stand firm, so he had to say: "The ministers are too weak to be envoys to His Majesty the Vice-Majesty, but I don't dare not do it for the sake of the country."

"Sounds good! How many ministers and ministers, big and small, are there who are willing to help? Just like the matter of horse administration, there are repeated orders and strict regulations. How can you tell the horse that it is useless when it comes to Beijing, and then sell it? If that is the case, why bother to explain it?" Come on? How much is going on inside? I can figure it out, but since I know the inside story, who told me? Who cares about the country? How can I believe it!" Chongzhen became more and more angry when he thought of this Over the past few years, Ma Zheng's affairs have been deceived by foreign courts. He really has the intention of killing people.This horse administration is related to the power of the government and the army, and it is related to the safety of the country, but those moths have harmed the horse administration everywhere, and they really deserve to be killed.Aren't you going to force me to abolish the internal ministers and supervise the army?Well, I will treat you first.

Most of the ministers of His Royal Highness didn't know about Ma Zheng's matter. After listening to Chongzhen, they realized that this matter was not in the plan, so it was difficult to deal with it. No one jumped out for a while, and they all waited and watched.Those who can become officials are all rushed out of the crowd, how can they really leave the official position aside and stand up to the emperor? Today's momentum is so big, it is not because of the large number of people, but there is a real danger of losing the official position and beheaded , that is disrespectful.Everyone has a reputation, not to mention that it is Ma Zheng's business, so don't let this messy water flow.

The wind was in the wrong direction. Wu Zongda and He Ruchong were a little worried when they saw that the morale had dropped a little. After they glanced at Zhou Yanru, Wu Zongda curled his lips at Liu Zongzhou who was kneeling there. It is true that there are ministers who are bad, but "he didn't dare to stand up, but he was not willing to be changed by the emperor, and he wanted to make a good impression in front of all officials, so he said there: "But the minister The bad days should start with rectifying the bureaucracy. The imperial court has its own disposal, so your Majesty does not need to worry about it. However, the inner court ministers are supposed to be the envoys of the inner court to clean the house, and the important officials of the imperial court perform the rituals of subordinates to the inner court ministers. "Oh? Really?" The corners of Chongzhen's lips curled up slightly, "Nowadays the army is in a hurry to pay, and I sent my ministers to the household and industrial departments to check the income and expenditure of food and wages. If you are all clean, why should I do this? Now that he is attacking the internal ministers, is it the Weiguo system, or is he afraid that he will be judged and cause trouble, huh?" After speaking, Chongzhen slapped the throne heavily with his right hand.

"This"

Liu Zongzhou didn't know what to say, but he couldn't say anything when he saw Liu Zongzhou squeaking, so he was in a hurry and decided to go to battle in person. He rushed out of the shift and said: "Check your own households, workers, and supervision. The army is in urgent need of payment, but The internal ministers who inspected the border towns did not release their weapons, and the military was suspended, and the censor Sun Zhaoxing impeached him for harming the country, but His Majesty dismissed Sun Zhaoxing, and the minister thought it was unfair."

Wu Zongda also came out of the class right after him to say so, and Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was the party involved in the matter, and this matter was audited on his head, so he naturally did his part to agree with him.Two great scholars, one is the head of the Ministry of Finance, and the rest are like flies smelling the stench, they all cheered up, and they all jumped to complain for Sun Zhaoxing. In the end, the emperor was forced to bow his head.

Officials from the six ministries, high-ranking and low-ranking officials, dozens of people jumped out, and you spoke to each other, one cannon after another, and finally the blast made Chongzhen's lungs explode. The trump card shouted angrily: "Li Shouqi, come out!"

Chongzhen yelled angrily, and everyone in the class trembled in fright. There are no fools in the hall, and they all know that the emperor is going to take Li Shouqi's knife.

When Xiangcheng Bo Li Shouqi stood up, he was already covered in chaff. This was really a fire at the city gate, which brought disaster to the fish in the pond.

Chongzhen pointed at Li Shouqi, and said angrily to the officials: "Look at this Uncle Xiangcheng, who is the governor of the Beijing camp. I just found out today that the roster of the Beijing camp is all fake! Receive a generous salary in name, Jiafu Yu Yi, Yi and Yu C sold their quotas back and forth, and the names on the list were all from the Wanli or even Longqing years!" Turning to Li Shouqi, he asked fiercely: "Tell me, how much have you been greedy for?!" [

What Chongzhen said was the truth, how could Li Shouqi dare to argue?Don't look at the fact that all the ministers in the palace are here to question the emperor today, but no one will help him. Who made him a nobleman instead of a party member? Those people are eager to see his jokes.

"Not only that, the servants in the Beijing camp are all powerful servants and evil slaves from powerful families in the capital. You recruited them all, right? Not only did you not restrain them, but you even indulged in plundering, causing frequent robberies in the daytime. Is it still the capital! Come here!" Chongzhen was really annoyed, and his voice became louder and louder.

Immediately outside the hall, a eunuch led four generals into the hall.

"The more than [-] officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp captured by the patrol camp yesterday were all executed! Li Shou was dismissed for investigation and taken down!"

Watching Jin Yiwei bring Li Shou out, Chongzhen took a breath, turned his face and glanced at the ministers, "The ministers are using it? Sending the ministers to hurt your decency? Humph, the eunuch Tang Wenzheng supervised the Beijing camp to expose Li Shou's matter! Which of you will come?" Did you tell me? If you don’t send ministers, how can I know these details! You are opposed to sending ministers wholeheartedly, if you don’t have a ghost in your heart, why are you so jerk?”
