Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu was in a particularly good mood, and walked around the palace before slowly walking back to his own Jinghuan Palace.

"Your Highness."

As soon as Zhu Xu entered the door, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Huachun, the big Cao and the small Cao came up to meet him almost at the same time.

Because Empress Zhang was pregnant, Zhu Xu was extremely happy. He raised his face and said with a smile, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Big Cao and Xiao Cao looked at each other, and it was Cao Wenzhao who said excitedly: "His Royal Highness, as you expected, Mr. Zhou has contacted dozens of courtiers, and he is currently thinking about the solution in the Zhou residence, and it is estimated that it will be sent to the palace soon. "

Zhu Xu frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Come on, let's go in and plan carefully."

Chapter 12 tit for tat

Zhou Jianzong contacted dozens of courtiers, which naturally couldn't be hidden from Wei Zhongxian, who had already begun to have strength.

At this moment, a large number of people gathered in the internal prison.There are Li Yongzhen, Wang Tiqian and other minions of the ceremonial supervisor, as well as Ni Wenhuan, Tian Ji and other censors and civil servants, and Gu Bingqian, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, is on the list!

These people are almost all of Wei Zhongxian's forces at the moment, and each of them is extremely angry, shouting at Wei Zhongxian first and last.

Wei Zhongxian's face was ferocious and terrifying, several cups had already been broken on the ground, he was still panting and anxious.

"Father-in-law, this time Qingliu's party wants to drive us all to death, we must not sit still and wait for death!"

"That's right, we can also write a memorial to join them in forming a party for personal gain and plotting evil!"

"Eunuch, this matter must not be let go easily, we must distinguish it clearly in front of the emperor!"

"Yes, hurry up and send someone to let Madam return to Beijing as soon as possible, and don't allow these rotten scholars to harm the country and the people!"

Wei Zhongxian came from a humble background and was illiterate. At this moment, he was distraught and felt that a catastrophe was imminent. He couldn't help but look at the most educated of them, the Minister of Rites, Gu Bingqian.

Gu Bingqian was born as a Jinshi, and now there are not a few senior cabinet officials. With the help of Wei Zhongxian and the Ke family, he has the highest voice to join the cabinet, and according to history, he will join the cabinet in the second half of this year, and will become the cabinet leader in the next year. Auxiliary University Bachelor!

In fact, Gu Bingqian didn't think much of Wei Zhongxian, but he was quick-witted and won the emperor's favor. In addition, he also had a lady named Fengsheng. Ke's help is indispensable!

Because he is not the Donglin Party, let alone the Zhejiang Party, the Soviet Party, or the Jin Party!

He glanced at the crowd, coughed lowly, and said: "This time the Metropolitan Procuratorate is going to play collectively, and we must not meet each other face to face, otherwise we will definitely lose, and we must do nothing, or we will get what they want."

"Just tell me what you can do, show off!" Liu Chao sneered as soon as he heard it. Like Wei Zhongxian, he had never read a book, and the most annoying were these scholars who chewed on words and hung up their book bags, as if they were superior to them.

Annoyance flashed across Gu Bingqian's eyes, he looked at Wei Zhongxian bowed slightly, and said, "Elder-in-law, urgently calling your wife back to Beijing will not save the near fire. Now we can only write a letter to defend, and the words cannot be too angry. I will submit it to the emperor with my colleagues in the ceremonial supervisor!"

The so-called appearance is crying.Internal ministers are more terrifying than foreign ministers because they always have a way to see the emperor at any time.

This plan hit Wei Zhongxian's heart, and his biggest reliance was the emperor's trust. The joint impeachment by the courtiers made him extremely terrified. The first thing he thought of was to find the emperor Zhu Youxiao!

"Okay, Li Yongzhen, Wang Tiqian will call the other supervisors and other prisons. Once their documents arrive in the imperial study, we will go to see the emperor together!" Wei Zhongxian stood up abruptly, his expression suddenly regained his composure, and then looked at the emperor. He said to Gu Bingqian: "Master Gu, please write a note for us and send it to the cabinet."

"It's my duty." Gu Bingqian stood up and apologized in a deep voice.

Because of Zhu Xu's interference, the two sides who were already in a fierce confrontation now seem to be fighting to the death!

After discussing with Da Cao and Xiao Cao, Zhu Xu sat on the recliner, sipped and wiped, and said in a loud voice: "Unfortunately, if there is Huan'er's pastry, it will be perfect at this time. I blame the emperor's wife. It's really too sweet." I'm petty."

Both Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao were speechless, and there was only one person in Ming Dynasty who dared to blame the Empress Empress so nonchalantly.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhu Xu, who had a relaxed and comfortable face, and said thoughtfully, "Your Highness, are we really going to let things go like this?"

"Well, don't worry about it for now." Zhu Xu swallowed a pastry casually, shook his head slightly, and was still far behind Huan'er's craftsmanship.

Although Cao Huachun didn't know Zhu Xu's intentions, he vaguely understood that His Royal Highness King Hui supported Qingliu or the Donglin Party. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Highness, what should they do if the Emperor makes a decree to take Master Zhou?"

Zhu Xu smiled slightly, Cao Huachun's worry was very reasonable, because there were already many precedents.And according to history, the end of Zhou Jianzong's second impeachment against Wei Zhongxian was that he was sent to the governor of the town, tortured severely, asked to hand over the private evidence of party formation and party members, and finally died tragically in prison.

The first failure of Zhou Jianzong's impeachment directly made Wei Zhongxian see Qingliu's weakness, that is, they pretended to be high-minded, did not know how to adapt, blindly wrote letters, contacted the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to persecute the emperor, but in fact they were strong on the outside and had no real power.

This is also the beginning of Wei Zhongxian's arbitrariness and disorderly government. From then on, there is no one to restrain him. He is called Wei Gong and enjoys the shrine. No one in the world can compare!

"However, your calculation is going to be wrong this time." Zhu Xu smiled and said to himself from the bottom of his heart.

Jin Yiwei is now in the hands of Luo Yangxing, Wei Zhongxian and Ke's minions have been sent out by Luo Sigong under various names, Luo Yangxing himself went to Guangxi, and he will not return for half a year.But now Wei Zhongxian has not concurrently taken charge of the East Factory.The most important thing is that there is no prison in Dongchang, and all the prisoners have to go to Jinyiwei's Zhenfu prison. Without Jinyiwei's help, Wei Zhongxian would have difficulty seeing anyone, let alone extorting confessions by torture.

In this way, a relatively fair duel will be formed, Donglin Party versus Eunuch Party.The Donglin Party is powerful, regardless of whether it is up or down, and the Eunuch Party has the violent organization of Dongchang, and the ultimate victory or defeat lies in the hands of Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

But if there is no evidence of crime, the emperor can't do anything to so many ministers.

In other words, even if Zhu Xu didn't make any follow-up actions, Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party would definitely be hit hard this time!This kind of blow can hardly hurt Wei Zhongxian or the eunuch party, but psychologically, Wei Zhongxian will realize the strength of Qingliu and dare not be too presumptuous.

"That's right." Zhu Xu thought for a while, and suddenly said to Cao Wenzhao, "Let the Wu family sisters see what kind of illness the imperial sister-in-law has."

Although Zhu Xu guessed that Empress Zhang was pregnant, she had to confirm it before she could rest assured.

Cao Wenzhao immediately agreed and said, "I'll send someone to notify them later."

"Next, let's wait and watch the show." Zhu Xu stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a relaxed face.

Headed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, dozens of courtiers were contacted to impeach Wei Zhongxian. This was the first time since the Apocalypse Dynasty, which naturally alarmed all parties.Immediately afterwards, the Supervisor of Rites spread the news that the eunuch party was also preparing to impeach Zhou Jianzong, and even listed dozens of people as party members, intending to fight Qingliu.

This time, not only were the two sides gearing up to put each other to death, even the courtiers who were watching were worried.

The Ming Dynasty Bureau, since the Apocalypse Dynasty, the most intense party struggle is about to start.

At this moment, the civil uprising in Shaanxi is getting more and more intense, and the counter-insurgency wars in Sichuan and Yunnan are divided.Jin people in the north are full of vigor and are looking forward to the south with a warmer climate.

Chapter 13 Angry

Yushi's excerpts have always been direct to Tianting, but this time they changed their strategy.

Under the leadership of Zhou Jianzong, more than 30 people flocked into the palace and went straight to Jingyang Palace, where the emperor Zhu Youxiao's study was located.

"Get out of the way, we want to see the emperor!"

Zhou Jianzong, holding a notebook and wearing an official uniform, yelled loudly at the guards who stopped in front of the palace gate.

The guard was cold, and his tone was even colder. He pushed Zhou Jianzong with the handle of the knife and said: "Without the emperor's will, no one is allowed to trespass!"

"Bastard! Do you know who we are! Get out of the way!"

"If we delay our affairs, are you guilty? What we want to see is the emperor!"

"You must castrate the thieves and lackeys. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for participating with you!"

The guard's expression darkened when he heard this, and with a clang, the sword was drawn out of its sheath, and he shouted loudly: "If you dare to trespass again, you will be killed on the spot!"

These are civil servants, it's okay to wield knives and guns on the pen, but they are still shocked when they actually see the swordsmen.

However, Zhou Jianzong was even more angry. He held his head high and held his chest forward, and said angrily: "We will eradicate traitors for the country and help the community. How can we be frightened by mere swordsmen? Fight to the death!"
