Chapter 283 Chapter 282

Chapter 283 282 Overthrow Zhao

Zhao Wenhua deeply regretted in his mansion, and around Zhao's mansion, more and more suspicious people appeared nearby, closely monitoring every move inside, inspecting the front and back doors of Zhao's mansion and the surrounding courtyard walls.

They are naturally arranged by the Jinyiwei Lu Bing, and the purpose is to completely block Zhao Wenhua's channel for transferring stolen money.

There was already a message in the palace. Emperor Jiajing was furious again after reading the memorial and wanted to handle Zhao Wenhua.

The Jinyiwei naturally likes to do such a corrupt official, because every action means that there is a lot of money to be taken into his pocket, so the person who was transferred is excited and immediately summoned his subordinates to come over.

After the incident, several eunuchs holding small signs also left the palace through different access controls in the palace and rushed to the official residences in various parts of the capital.

The news spread quickly without any influence from Ye Ban.

Soon, people sent out to observe the situation of the Zhao Mansion reported that there were many people suspected of the Jinyiwei outside Zhao Wenhua's mansion, and they had already surrounded the Zhao Mansion closely. It seemed that they did not break into the door because they did not receive the order.

The Zhao Mansion is still calm now, but they have also observed a situation, that is, at this time, the Zhao Mansion seems to be in and out of the situation. Several people who left the Zhao Mansion will soon be dragged into a secluded alley quietly, and then there will be no one to see again.

At this time, Yan Song, who was resting at home, naturally had already received the news.

Yan Song and other senior officials went straight to the sky and lived a life of singing and dancing. Yan Song had only his wife, Ouyang, and did not take a few concubines to live a colorful life. In life, they were completely different from Yan Shifan.

It is also because of Ouyang's relationship that he and Ouyang Bijin have a relative relationship.

"Is Wenhua really helpless?"

In the past, Zhao Wenhua was very filial to Ouyang's godmother. At least she was very good at coaxing her on the surface. Ouyang was also willing to act and showed her love for Zhao Wenhua.

When it came to the last time about Baihua Wine, Ouyang actually had an opinion on Zhao Wenhua. However, Yan Shifan felt that it was not easy to turn against Zhao Wenhua immediately, so Ouyang pretended to adjust their relationship in the center and make up for it, and everything seemed to be back to the past.

"No matter what, I still have to try to save it tomorrow, otherwise what else will the others think of me."

Yan Song's turbid eyes emitted a shiny light at this moment, and many officials in the court were still attached to him. They did not know that there was a crack in the relationship between the Yan family and the Zhao family. If they did not try it at this time, they would be dissipated if they were not allowed to do so.

He already knew that Emperor Jiajing had sent a message to the cabinet to dismiss Zhao Wenhua's entire official positions.

The emperor's orders will naturally be handled immediately tomorrow morning and cannot be delayed.

After the decree is drafted, no matter whether it is the Sili Supervisor or the Six Centres, it can be said that Zhao Wenhua's fate was already destined when this decree was issued, and he could only act as a show.

"Qing'er said before that she would send someone to deliver a letter to Wenhua. Why didn't you stop him?"

Ouyang asked again, Qing'er, of course, did not refer to Ximen Qing, but Yan Shifan.

Qing'er is Yan Shifan's nickname, so it is rumored that the character "Ximen Qing" in the book "Jin Ping Mei" was actually fictionalized by the author Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng based on the real character Yan Shifan.

"It's nothing. If he is sensible, he knows what to do at this time."

The meaning of Yan Song's words is naturally that he had exchanged letters with Zhao Wenhua before. After all, he had been in so-called father-son relationship for so many years.

When Zhao Wenhua visited Jiangsu and Zhejiang two years ago, he and the Yan family also had constant letters.

If you send a message to Zhao Wenhua, you should deal with these things if you are sensible. If you want to use this as a proof to threaten anyone, then you will have a dream of Spring and Autumn, and you will only die faster.

Although Lu Bing was extremely trusted and favored by Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song was not a vegetarian. Even speaking of power, the Yan family would definitely suppress Lu Bing.

No matter what, Yan Song was still the chief minister of the cabinet, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was powerful.

And what about Lu Bing? He is just the minions and spy chiefs of Emperor Jiajing.

Ordinary corrupt officials are naturally afraid of him, but if they truly have an official with a certain identity and level, they are not afraid of him. After all, all actions cannot avoid the one in the West Garden.

As long as you have the holy family, you don’t have to worry about what the Jinyiwei will do to you.

So if Yan Song and Lu Bing face each other, Lu Bing usually chooses to retreat and never fight with Yan Song.

At this time, everyone who was enough to stir up the capital's storm had already known the news, and no one deliberately concealed these things.

Wei Guangde's house was very quiet tonight, and there were no idle people waiting to deliver the letter. Chen Ju's message was much faster than others. However, Wei Guangde did not intend to do anything about this matter, but chose to watch it on the wall.

At this time, the gate of the Jinyiwei North Town Fushi was opened, and teams of Jinyiwei were sent to capture the criminals inside and outside the capital.

Of course, Emperor Jiajing would not directly attack the second-rank officials of the court just because of a memorial, even if he was already idle at home.

Emperor Jiajing would not take the blame for the birds and bows.

Of course, the memorial to impeach Zhao Wenhua and embezzle the royal assets and embezzle the brick and stone materials of Xiyuan for the construction of his own luxury house has been handed over to Lu Bing. Now, all the criminals involved in the case will be arrested immediately. The Yan family will interrogate, and make sure that everyone, evidence and evidence are complete.

The case ordered by Emperor Jiajing is naturally considered a Qin case. Lu Bing did not dare to neglect it. He immediately summoned his elite soldiers and generals to analyze the case, determine all the people involved in the case, and deployed the arrest operation.

This night, Beijing was in turmoil. From time to time, the scenes of Jinyiwei's singing loudly came from the streets. The Beijing city, which was forbidden at night, seemed to be revitalized again at this moment.

The officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who were patrolling the night were also confused by the unstoppable situation, but when they looked at the knights in red war suits, they did not dare to stop them at all. They could see them from afar and avoided the roadside to give up the passage.

For many years, there has been no such large-scale Jinyiwei dispatched to arrest people in the capital.

The Jinyiwei in red war uniforms is different from the Jinyiwei in gray and blue military uniforms on the streets. They are responsible for arresting people, but they don’t care about the affairs on the street.

Many low-level officials and craftsmen who participated in the creation of Xiyuan were dragged out of their beds and brought back to the Beizhen Fushi. Soon, someone screamed loudly, floating through the courtyard walls and spreading to the alley, making the already gloomy alley even more terrifying.

The movements in the capital naturally reached Zhao Wenhua's ears, especially the news sent by the Yan family. The servants climbed up the yard wall to observe and soon discovered the whereabouts of those suspicious people around the yard.

All this made Zhao Wenhua feel deeply afraid from the beginning that he was just regretting it. He didn't know what Emperor Jiajing would do to him next.

Think about it a few years ago, Xia Yan, the chief minister of the cabinet, was beheaded on the street.

On the second day, when the sun rose, the capital was as usual. Only outside the door of the mansion located in Yongfang, Dashi, was rarely seen. In the past, there were traffic here, and people were visiting in and out.

After the news fermented overnight, the civil and military officials in Beijing already knew what happened last night, and the source of everything pointed to this former second-rank official of the court.

The officials who participated in the impeachment of Zhao Wenhua were naturally happy and gathered together in groups to discuss what should be done later, whether to continue impeachment, expose Zhao Wenhua's illegal facts or what.

After Yan Song was supported by Yan Shifan, he immediately found Xu Jie and discussed how to write an imperial edict to dismiss Zhao Wenhua's official position that Emperor Jiajing wanted.

After repeated revisions and deliberately downplaying Zhao Wenhua's guilt, he sent him to Xiyuan to Face the Saint. When he got there, he naturally had to say a few good words to his godson Zhao Wenhua.

The result was already destined, and nothing exceeded Yan Song's judgment. Although Emperor Jiajing did not refute his face in person, he only said that everything was under investigation and that he would be calm.

With such a result, Emperor Jiajing has already given Yan Song a great face.

Of course, such news spread quickly in the capital.

Wei Guangde was arrogant and could not avoid the common people after entering the Hanlin Academy. He gathered with his colleagues to curse him as a corrupt official Zhao Wenhua. This is a manifestation of political correctness. They are all clear waters.

However, they just talked about this. Not long after, Yin Tai and Yin Palm Courtyard came and told them not to get involved in this matter again.

For the senior officials in the court, they have experienced more experiences and are naturally more able to think more. At this time, Yin Tai prevented someone in the court from continuing to impeach Zhao Wenhua. In fact, it was also seen that there might be a storm after this incident, so he made a statement to protect these subordinates.

Whether they listen or not is another matter, it is nothing to do with him.

Someone in the Hanlin Academy also wrote a memorial to impeach Zhao Wenhua a few days ago, and was still encouraging everyone to continue, but after hearing Yin Tai's words, most people still chose to wait and see.

As for Wei Guangde, after Yin Tai left after he finished speaking, he also clasped his fists at his colleagues and went back to his public housing first. He also had to think about how to write a leave memorial, let alone mix it up.

The imperial edict was delivered to Zhao Wenhua, and although he was mentally prepared, he was still ashamed.

This is just the first step. Since last night, his mansion has been monitored by the Jinyiwei people. He has received news that many of his confidants were taken to the Beizhen Fusi by the Jinyiwei people. This is the Emperor Jiajing wants to liquidate him.

The families of those arrested officials did not know the details, and they ran here to cry after dawn, hoping to get the protection of Lord Zhao and get the people out through connections, which made him even more frightened.

After receiving the order, Zhao Wenhua was really sick and felt uncomfortable all over. He could only lean on the recliner and rub his round belly constantly.

I used to pretend that I was sick to the outside world, but now I really can't stand up.

I have been in the officialdom for more than 30 years, and I don’t know if I still have a chance to recover.

However, despite his health, Zhao Wenhua did not dare to stay in the capital anymore. He did not dare to stay in the capital while Emperor Jiajing had not issued a new edict.

Lying on the recliner, he told his family to quickly get out of the city and leave the capital, a place of right and wrong.

As for the property at home, I will take away as much as I can. I will not have time to leave people to clean up slowly, and then set off before I set off.

Zhao Wenhua has made a lot of money over the years, but he has not actually saved much for himself.

In Zhao Wenhua's view, as long as you hold the Yan family, you will be able to have a prosperous career and enjoy a long life, so most of the wealth that greedy was given to Yan Shifan and his godmother Ouyang.

Of course, he also purchased a lot of industries in Jiangnan. He is from Zhejiang, so he naturally reserved a lot of money for his life after retiring.

In the past, life was also extremely luxurious. If you do your best to do it, you can naturally accumulate wealth and disperse money. In fact, there is not much money around you, which disappointed Lord Lu of the Jinyiwei.

At this time, Zhao Wenhua had been dismissed and naturally could leave the capital at any time, at least when there was no new order in the palace.

When Wei Guangde was on duty in the evening, Lu Bu quietly came to Wei Guangde and reported in a low voice: "Sir, at noon, Lord Zhao Wenhua and Lord Zhao took a carriage and left the capital and rushed to Tongzhou. At this time, I am afraid that he had already boarded the boat and headed south to his hometown."

"So urgent?"

However, Wei Guangdeju immediately understood that now Zhao Wenhua completely lost power, and it would be even more unsafe to continue to stay in the capital. It would be better to take this opportunity to escape as soon as possible.

Staying away from the capital, not seeing it, or being upset, maybe the person in Xiyuan would still be thinking about the past love and giving him his life.

This is true. When Zhao's mansion was preparing to drive the car, Lu Bing had already received the news and hurriedly sent someone to the palace to report the news, but he had not received a response from the palace for a long time.

The Jinyiwei arranged around the Zhao Mansion did not receive the order, and could only watch Zhao Wenhua being carried onto a carriage and left.

The Beizhen Fushi Department has collected some evidence, including personal evidence, confirming that Zhao Wenhua has indeed greedy for some of the materials in Xiyuan to build his own house. The craftsmen are also craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to be mobilized privately, but the number reported is relatively small, which reminds Emperor Jiajing of what Yan Song looked like when he came to plead in the morning.

When the Jinyi Guardian came to Zhao Wenhua to pack up his things and leave the capital, Emperor Jiajing finally did not give an order to arrest people.

Zhao Wenhua left the capital, and the storm stirred up with him gradually calmed down.

Wei Guangde did not want to gain much benefit in this anti-Zhao movement at the beginning. He had too little experience and had to work harder to do anything, so he would marry his wife first.

A first draft of the leave memorial was written, of course, I cannot submit it, and I have to modify it again. The words are a little touching. When I write prose, I express my feelings for my family and my hometown, and strive to let Emperor Jiajing make an extra month of marriage leave after reading it.

After confirming that Zhao Wenhua had escaped from the capital, Qingliu in the capital also extinguished his plan to continue to entangle.

There are still unwritten rules in the officialdom, that is, if you step down, you can impeach yourself at will, and don’t do it again after stepping down. After all, everyone has time to leave the political arena, giving up their positions and end the past grudges.

The officialdom in Beijing returned to peace, but a few days later, an urgent report was sent to the capital, adding vitality to the cooldown of Zhao movement.

"Wenhua was sick and lying in a boat when he was condemned, and Yiyi didn't talk to himself. He looked at his abdomen with his hands all night, and his abdomen was cracked, and his internal organs came out. He died."
