quiet.

At this time, there was deathly silence outside the military station. Han Xu, Li Biao, Qian Longxi and others, and even the officials, censors, and other civil servants behind them all showed shocked expressions.

Raising food prices?

Spreading rumors?

How is this possible!

Countless voices of doubt arose in the hearts of everyone at this time. Apparently they did not understand the truth. Because Dongchang and Jinyiwei were released by the emperor, after knowing this situation, everyone had a stress reaction.

The power of the Wei eunuchs in the Tianqi Dynasty has penetrated into the hearts of these Donglin Party members, and they are deeply wary of the eunuchs taking power in the inner court.

"Your Majesty, even if what you have found out is true, you should issue an order and submit it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or the cabinet, and send an official letter to the Shuntian Prefecture to investigate!"

Cao Yubian, the imperial censor of Zuodu, had a slight stoop in his back. He walked out of the courtroom excitedly and admonished Emperor Chongzhen: "Now the country is being invaded by Jianqiu, and the people in the capital are already panic-stricken.

Such a major event should be a time for the imperial court to show its prestige, but if it is handled under the pretense of factory guards, it may lead to chaos, and the capital has been suffering from factory guards for a long time!"

"According to what you say, then your dereliction of duty will be blamed on me instead?"

Emperor Chongzhen walked forward slowly, with a cold expression, staring at Cao Yubian, who had passed his sixties, and said: "What's the point of asking you all to inspect the court? What's the point of asking you to be a censor and an official? What's the point of Shuntian Mansion Office?"

use!?

Taking the imperial rations from the Ming Dynasty and the salary from me, now is the time when the country is in crisis. You all understand this, but I would like to ask you, what are you thinking about now?!"

"Chen...chen..."

Facing Emperor Chongzhen's question, Cao Yubian looked panicked and subconsciously stepped back. For a moment, he really didn't know how to answer.

If your butt is not seated correctly, your head will not be straight.

Whether it is the Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party, or the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, many of them have not properly positioned themselves.

He talks about benevolence, justice and morality, but in fact he doesn't care at all whether the roots of the Ming Dynasty have been eroded.

They enter official careers just to be promoted and to compete for the right to speak, so that they can obtain corresponding benefits for the forces behind them.

Representatives of the Donglin Party, Jiangnan gentry, and merchants. Starting from the Wanli Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's taxes in the Jiangnan area have been declining year after year.

Why did Emperor Wanli condemn the eunuchs in the inner court to collect mineral taxes? Wasn't the purpose just to collect taxes, so as to fill the foundation of internal funds and cope with the financial pressure encountered by the Ming Dynasty?

The idea is good and correct, but the people are not using it correctly, and the decentralization of power is too thorough.

The eunuchs of the inner court who were sent out to serve as guard eunuchs in various places, and most of the money they earned went into their pockets. However, Emperor Wanli was burdened with infamy, and he did not do this carelessly.

"Don't think that I don't know what each of you is thinking."

Emperor Chongzhen did not want to get entangled with him, and now was not the time to waste time. He shouted in a cold voice: "The factory guard is in a special period, and it is the place to shock Xiaoxiao!

I know Wei Wei's problems better than you.

So don’t use this set of things to advise me and prevaricate me here!

Have you dealt with all the government affairs at hand?

Han Xu! Li Biao! Qian Longxi!

I asked you to work in the cabinet, and this is how you work for me. Whether this cabinet scholar can do a good job, or if he can't do it, he will submit a memorial to resign!"

On the pretext of dispatching the factory guards, they gathered at the Military Aircraft Department. Han Xu and the others not only wanted to suppress the factory guards who might rise up, but also wanted to invite themselves to return to the Wenhua Palace to manage politics.

Only in this way, and only in this way, can they know what they really want to do, and can they figure out the profound meaning of what they do that they don't know.

Looking at Han Xu, Li Biao, Qian Longxi and others who looked frightened, Emperor Chongzhen stood there quietly with a cold expression. He wanted to see who would dare to jump in front of him at this time.

"Your Majesty, you can't shut down your speech just because the country is facing a difficult situation!"

Cao Yubian was emotional and said with tears in his eyes: "Han Yuanfu and the others are my great ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are well-known and virtuous ministers.

It is precisely because of the Jianlu invasion that your Majesty should be managing the government in the Wenhua Palace instead of setting up a garrison for the so-called Military Aircraft Department here at the Qianqing Gate and ignoring the government affairs of the DPRK!

Your Majesty, the eunuchs in the inner court should not be trusted credulously. There was a problem with the Wei eunuchs in the Tianqi Dynasty before. As the Holy Emperor, you should be careful to prevent the Wei eunuchs from the Chongzhen Dynasty again!!"

What a tough guy!

How dare you speak so plainly.

Wei Eunuch, Wei Eunuch, Chongzhen Dynasty needs Wei Eunuch!!!

If you, a bunch of civil servants, firmly control the government, how can I change the fate of the Ming Dynasty in the future? Then won’t the title of the king of the country fall back on me!?

Emperor Chongzhen looked coldly and stared at the excited Cao Yubian and the motionless ministers. Suddenly, he applauded in public.

"Papa~"

This sudden move not only shocked Han Xu and others, but also made Sun Chengzong and others secretly scream. The emperor was completely angered.

"It seems that I just played the piano to a cow."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Cao Yubian with a smile on his face and said: "Since you have done something for the court, you dare to ignore the crime of dereliction of duty you have committed.

I have shown mercy to you time and time again, but you, Cao Yubian, feel that I am easy to deceive and have soft ears to listen to the nonsense you say.

OK!

According to my decree, Cao Yu Bian, regardless of the danger of the country, failed to fulfill the responsibilities of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and has betrayed the emperor's favor, Cao YuBian was immediately dismissed from his position as Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! He was demoted to Nanjing to serve!

The affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are temporarily in the hands of the right capital censor, the left deputy capital censor, and the right deputy capital censor. After the current crisis of the country is over, talented people will be selected to take charge!"

boom!

Han Xu, Li Biao and other ministers all looked shocked when they heard this, and their hearts were horrified. They never expected that the emperor would make such a decision.

Cao Yubian's expression seemed to be frozen, and he looked at Emperor Chongzhen in disbelief.

"Come here, please ask these good ministers of mine to go back and handle the government affairs!" However, Emperor Chongzhen did not give them any chance. He turned around and walked towards the military aircraft station.

Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, Li Banghua, and Zhou Yanru who were standing aside saw a large number of Han generals dispatched and began to form a human wall to block Han Xu and other ministers. They knew that the emperor was determined this time!

Hearing the noisy sounds, Sun Chengzong and others did not dare to be negligent. They followed Emperor Chongzhen who passed in front of them and walked quickly towards the military aircraft station.
