Li Ruolian and Gao Wencai received the Crown Prince's order and immediately summoned the Jin Yiwei to prepare for action at night.

This night was another bloody night in the capital.

Chen Yan, Chen Mingxia, Fang Kezhuang and other corrupt officials' families and Shanxi businessmen are all anxiously waiting for the rescue by the civil service group.

But what they were waiting for was Jin Yiwei's butcher knife...

All the men were beheaded, and the women were taken into custody and sent to the Jiaofang Division as slaves and prostitutes until dawn.

As officials of the Ming Dynasty, they were not only corrupt, but also had no integrity. They were either second ministers or third ministers. All these are the consequences they deserve.

Chongzhen suffered a serious illness and he didn't even know whether it was a blessing or a curse. Although he was in poor health, due to some strange combination of circumstances, the internal funds and the national treasury increased by nearly two million taels of silver.

We must know that the net income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury in the past year was only more than four million taels of silver.

Last night, Zhu Cixiang left more than one million taels of silver and walked away. Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed for a moment, and his complaints and accusations against Zhu Cixiang had already gone out of the window.

Just kidding, who can increase the Ming Dynasty's treasury income by two million taels of silver? Emperor Chongzhen can definitely make him the first assistant. What is the Ming Dynasty lacking most now? Of course it is silver.

Emperor Chongzhen was not a money man. He wanted money not for his own enjoyment, but to provide military pay for disaster relief in the Ming Dynasty. He didn't keep any of the more than one million taels of silver, and all went into the state treasury.

If Zhu Cixi knew that all the money he had worked so hard for had been put into the treasury by his father, he would definitely object strongly.

Because Chongzhen saves money on food and drink, most of it will soon go into the pockets of corrupt officials.

In any case, after Emperor Chongzhen saw Yinzi, his body almost recovered overnight.

Maybe his illness was just a mental illness, and the knot in his mind was solved with money and the illness was cured.

At Yin o'clock the next day, Emperor Chongzhen began to have breakfast. After breakfast, accompanied by Wang Chengen, he hurried to the Huangji Hall for the morning court. When he arrived at the Huangji Hall, not a single minister was seen.

Chongzhen was very angry. He thought that when he was away, the civil and military officials of the dynasty began to be lazy. How could the always diligent Emperor Chongzhen accept the laziness of his ministers (in fact, the ministers in the court could do nothing but bicker every morning).

"Someone, ring the bell!"

However, Chongzhen soon discovered that there was no one to ring the bell. Except for the palace guards on duty, the imperial guards and the generals of the Great Khan were not there, which made Chongzhen even more angry.

How did he know that all this was the fault of his traitorous son, who held court meetings once every three days and canceled the morning court meetings, and did not go to court until after eight o'clock in the morning? Who would come to the Huangji Palace after three o'clock in the morning?

Unable to find anyone to ring the bell, Lao Wang planned to go there in person, but was rejected by Chongzhen. He felt that there must be some conspiracy involved, maybe it was his treacherous son who was behind it.

Although no big things could be done in the early morning court in the past, all ministers would arrive early, which had long been a habit. Chongzhen could not believe that none of the ministers arrived.

Seeing that Chongzhen looked unhappy, Wang Chengen said hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, please go and ring the bell!"

Chongzhen waved his hand:

"No, I'll wait for them!"

After waiting anxiously for two hours, no one was seen. Finally, Chongzhen fell asleep lying on the long book table.

Lao Wang, the most loyal eunuch in history, stood beside Chongzhen and never left him.

At dawn, Chongzhen opened his eyes, but still didn't see anyone. He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Until the rising sun, there was finally movement outside the Huangji Hall. The ministers entered the Huangji Hall one after another, whispering to each other, but no one paid attention to Emperor Chongzhen sitting on the dragon seat.

Chongzhen took a closer look. The first person to enter the Huangji Palace was Li Banghua, the minister of the Ministry of War, followed by the British public Zhang Zhiji, the first assistant Wen Tiren, Feng Ying, Ni Yuanlu, Hou Xun, Tang Shiji...

When a group of civil servants, censors and eight subjects saw Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, they all gathered around and asked for support for the murdered civil servants and the rescue of Shanxi merchants. They were all filled with indignation...

"Mr. Wen Ge, the Crown Prince killed someone again yesterday. The two Masters Chen and Fang were killed one after another. The Shanxi Merchants and Commercial Banks in the capital were raided one after another. We cannot continue like this. We want to see His Majesty..."

Emperor Chongzhen was originally prepared to fight with the Confucian scholars for his son, but when he heard so many people asking for support for the murdered corrupt officials and Shanxi merchants, he knew that his traitor had indeed gone too far, and he couldn't help but panic.

Wang Cheng'en saw the emperor's expression changing, and heard the officials talking nonsense, so he coughed twice:

"Ahem, be quiet, Your Majesty is here, can you ignore it?"

In the impression of the ministers, the crown prince must have arrived late. No one even glanced at the throne. They were startled by Wang Chengen's sudden voice. They hurriedly looked at the throne and were shocked to find Emperor Chongzhen on the throne.

They instantly changed from surprise to surprise, like aggrieved children seeing their long-lost parents. They immediately knelt down to pay homage. Some ministers even shed tears in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, I wish my emperor good health!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly:

"My dear friends, please forgive me for being free!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

The ministers, Xie En, stood on both sides of the civil and military circles. They all had surprises in their eyes. Some were happy that Chongzhen had recovered and went to court, while others were excited that the little killer star was no longer in prison.

Knowing that Emperor Chongzhen had just recovered, the upright and loyal minister did not want the emperor to be overworked, so he did not plan to submit the unimportant memorial today, and wanted to wait for another day.

But those so-called civil officials and censors didn't think so. They finally waited for Emperor Chongzhen to come to court, and they would seize the opportunity to impeach the crown prince who tried his best to suppress the civil officials.

Even if we can't do anything to the crown prince, at least we can't let Zhu Cixiang continue to supervise the country, otherwise all the corrupt officials will be destroyed.

Wen Tiren coughed slightly, and his younger brother Zuodu Yushi Tang Shiji stepped forward.

The Crown Prince Jianguo liked to kill people, but Tang Shiji did not dare to be in the limelight. Finally, when Emperor Chongzhen came to court, this guy couldn't wait to go out to class with an ivory plate in hand.

"Your Majesty, I have the original memorial of Tang Shiji, the royal censor of Zuodu!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked down at Tang Shiji. He suddenly felt a headache. This guy was also a sharp-tongued talker. In terms of his ability to criticize others, he was no less than Guang Shiheng. Chongzhen was often criticized by him.

"play"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am impeaching the new Jinyiwei Commander Li Ruolian and Jinyiwei Tongzhi Gao Wencai. They wantonly killed court officials and innocent merchants while Your Majesty was recovering from illness.

Li Jian, the imperial censor of Youdu, Wang Aoyong, minister of household affairs, and Chen Yan, president of the Hanlin Academy, were successively killed by them and even their families were exterminated. Please ask your majesty to kill Li Ruolian and his three clans..."

Before Tang Shiji finished speaking, the censors Shi Fan, Gao Jie and more than twenty censors came out to second the proposal.

Even the deputy capital censor Shi Bangzhao, the minister of rites Wang Duo, and the Hanlin Academy Yang Shicong came forward to second the proposal.

The two important ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel also supported the execution of the Jinyiwei commander Li Ruolian and Tongzhi Gao Wencai.

Together with other civil servants, censors and eight subjects, there were nearly a hundred people who seconded the matter.

Since Chongzhen came to power, he has never seen so many civil servants supporting the execution of two court officials.

Emperor Chongzhen was not stupid, he had already guessed the purpose of these people.

The civil service group is not just targeting Li Ruolian and Gao Wencai, their move has an obvious purpose.

It must be to deal with the Crown Prince and Jin Yiwei, who made them feel threatened.

Li Ruolian's high literary talent is Zhu Cixiang's right-hand man. The civil service group wants to kill the crown prince's accomplices first, and then start to impeach the crown prince Zhu Cihong.
