Domineering Daming

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the reason why the current emperor didn't like him was because Tianqi had three years since the emperor wanted him to be the chief minister of Prince Hui's residence, so he played tricks and left the capital.The reason why he was still able to ascend to a high position and be the same assistant minister was just a way for the emperor to show his favor to Jiangnan Shilin, but if he showed any flaws, he would definitely be kicked back to his hometown without hesitation.

But he has his arrogance, and when it comes to government affairs, he doesn't agree with Zhu Xu's ups and downs and drastic actions.The source of the troubles caused by the scholars was that Zhu Xu was too impatient to reform and didn't know how to be gentle.

He had the same thoughts as Bi Ziyan and others, that is, to prevent Zhu Xu from "reckless actions" as much as possible, to stabilize the court, and to control the situation.Of course, they support the "New Deal". It is a consensus that Daming needs to be purged, and "Zhongxing Daming" is the firm goal of all of them!

Huairou, Zhang Wenda understands, he has a lot of means to deal with these scholars, but it’s not Tianqi now, it’s been in the Wanli period, too many things can’t be controlled by him, not to mention the cabinet, the Ministry of Punishment is not completely under his control, many things have been painted Few people dare to step on the "red line".

Zhang Wenda thought for a long time, and said: "Send someone to watch, don't show up if there is nothing wrong, if the scholars want to do something, save people after a while, you must not show up first, you must not be rough on the scholars, and you must not teach others Handle, do you know?"

Liao Changyong raised his hand and said, "Your officer obeys!"

It wasn't just Zhang Wenda who paid attention to Wen Tiren, Chen Qiyu from Shuntian Mansion also had a headache and didn't know what to do?

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, King Jing and others were all watching, but no one moved. It was also clear that this was a raging fire, and any action could be a raging fire that would burn the whole world!

Wen Tiren stood there without saying a word.

The scholars became more and more angry, and gathered around him, their angry saliva could already spray on his face, but he still remained motionless, with a calm attitude as if a mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his face.

Wen Tiren's guard came over quietly, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, I will take you out..."

With his hands behind his back, Wen Tiren's expression remained unchanged, and he still didn't say a word.

The guard understood and quietly retreated.

Zhou Zhaoyan led people to confront Wen Tiren for almost an incense stick of time, he was drooling too much, he was a little tired, his expression was ugly, his anger could not be suppressed, and he said angrily: "Master Wen, do you think you have nothing to say? Will we back down? If you don’t speak today, we will never give up! We will never allow the imperial examination to be conducted for personal gain and fraud, and we will definitely fight to the end..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw someone walking behind Wen Tiren.

It doesn't matter what he sees, it's not one or two people walking, but one after another, rapidly decreasing.

He frowned, turned around, and found that the number of people behind him was also decreasing. Some people in servant clothes approached these people and muttered something, and then the person who was being spoken lowered his head and hesitated. Fan, quietly left.

There were more and more of these "servants", coming from both sides, talking in low voices, earnestly speaking, and more began to leave.

But there were still people who were not persuaded, and their voices were sonorous and powerful, echoing in the alley.

"I won't leave! You go back and tell your father, even if he is dismissed, I will fight to the end, and the imperial examination will be a bright future!"

"Go back and tell Uncle Qin that one person does the work and the other is responsible. The court is so dark, how can people who read sage books be indifferent!"

"If I don't go back, will I implicate my relatives? Huh, so what! I believe that the evil will not overpower the good, and these treacherous officials will not end well. They can't always cover the sky with one hand!"

Zhou Zhaoyan was greatly benefited when he heard this, and turned his eyes to Wen Tiren, and said indifferently: "Master Wen, you threatened the scholar's family, I will definitely report this matter to the Ming court and make it public to the world. It’s not that you don’t even want to lose face at the end, or just tear off the fig leaf and admit that Jinke is just selling an official..."

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhou..."

"Brother Zhou, I'm sorry..."

"Well, I'm going first..."

"...Brother Zhou, you can go too..."

"Brother Zhou, let's forget it..."

Before Zhou Zhaoyan finished speaking, a few people said a few words weakly, then quickly turned around and disappeared into the alley.

Not long after, there were only a dozen people left in the alley, and everyone looked at Wen Tiren coldly with resentment in their hearts.

"My lord." The guard behind Wen Tiren handed him a document.

Wen Tiren took the document, glanced at it, and said calmly: "Zhou Zhaoyan, from Tongcheng, his father died at the age of three, his mother remarried at the age of six, and he lived with his uncle Zhou Yanlu's house. Uncle died of illness, you inherited the family property, aunt died of illness the following year, there was a brothel, two gambling houses, at the age of 15, you bought the chief examiner of the township examination, you won the exam, but you couldn’t seek the county magistrate, and then you came to participate in the general examination... Is this official wrong?"

Zhou Zhaoyan's complexion had changed a long time ago, and now it was gloomy and terrifying. He gritted his teeth and said, "Master Wen really took great pains. Even if it is true, so what?"

Wen Tiren ignored him, turned to Zhou Zhaoyan's right, and said, "Qian Dashan, from Yangzhou, has been known as a prodigy since he was a child. Tianqi fought with others in Qingxiangyuan for six years, was jealous, beat people's lives, and saved his life with money. He should have been exiled." Guard, why are you here now?"

Qian Dashan is 25 years old, with a gentle appearance, when he heard Wen Tiren's words, he broke out in cold sweat and looked terribly pale.

Wen Tiren's gaze turned to Zhou Zhaoyan's left again, and said, "Zhao Fu, a native of Handan, whose father is a remnant of the Donglin Party, has long been banned from imperial examinations and official positions. You are also on the banned list..."

"Han Guangyuan, you were originally a soldier in Liaodong. You were a fugitive in the sixth year of Tianqi and hid in the pass..."

"Chu Jiangyou, your Chu family has been a merchant for generations. Your father colluded with Jiannu at the beginning of Chongzhen and smuggled contraband. He is a fugitive. You should know where he is..."

Wen Tiren almost named all the people present. These people's family backgrounds and pasts were all extremely detailed, and the details were frightening.

These people lowered their heads, their eyes flickered, and their whole bodies were shaking.

It's terrible, the imperial court actually checked everything about them!

Even Zhou Zhaoyan was trembling at the moment, with cold sweat constantly breaking out from his head.

He has done too many shady things, even beheaded him ten times!

Afraid of people knowing, afraid of being investigated!

Wen Tiren stood up again, and said indifferently: "Do you want me to continue talking?"

Everyone's expression was awe-inspiring, and suddenly Qian Dashan knelt down with a thud, and said loudly: "I beg Mr. Wen to spare my life. The students will never dare again. I beg Mr. Wen to bypass me this time..."

"Ah, Lord Wen, please spare me. I don't dare anymore. We will never participate in these things again..."

"Master Wen, Master Wen... It was Zhou Zhaoyan who encouraged us. Before the ban came out, he connected us together. He said that someone behind the scenes made us the first..."

"I sue, Zhou Zhaoyan bought officials from the Ministry of Officials' Wenxuan Department, and also took 1000 taels of silver from each of us. Please give me a lighter punishment..."

In a blink of an eye, everyone except Zhou Zhaoyan was kneeling on the ground, yelling and exposing each other.

Zhou Zhaoyan's eyes turned to these people, extremely vicious, what he hated was gnashing his teeth.

Wen Tiren looked indifferently at Zhou Zhaoyan.

Zhou Zhaoyan's expression changed slightly, his eyes flashed rapidly, for a long time, he gritted his teeth and knelt down slowly, and said in a firm voice: "Master Wen, please forgive me, the student is reckless."

Wen Tiren didn't speak, turned around indifferently and got on the sedan chair.

The sedan chair was quickly lifted up and walked forward.

The group of people blocking the way quickly stepped aside, all with fearful eyes, staring at Wen Tiren's sedan chair flickeringly, feeling uneasy and lingering in fear.

It didn't take long for everyone who should know the news to know.

Almost everyone was secretly startled, this Wen Tiren had always been inconspicuous among the servants of the Six Departments, but he never expected that his methods would be so powerful. It was a major matter that made them fearful, but he was dealt with so quietly?
