It did not take too long to read out the imperial edict.

Although this is an imperial edict, as an official in the court, no one dares to refuse the imperial edict easily.

Because rejecting this edict means you reject the emperor. No one dares to do this, unless they are really stubborn people.

"Two adults, the message has been conveyed to our family. Let's take our leave first." Chen Hong said with a smile, cupped his hands to the two of them, then turned around and walked out.

Liu Yijing and Han Xu did not try to persuade Chen Hong to stay. Some of the things they said were inappropriate now.

After Chen Hong left, Liu Yijing and Han Xu also sat back.

The content of the imperial edict is not much, and it does not say too much. For the two court officials, there is no problem in understanding it.

In this imperial edict, His Majesty did not seem to say anything, but only asked people like himself to ask the opinions of the ministers.

In fact, His Majesty has already said everything. Is this asking him to ask the opinions of his ministers?

This is to let oneself take a stand. To put it bluntly, it is to let one's ministers take a stand and express their support for a thorough investigation of the Donglin Party case.

Whether it was the Donglin Party and others who framed Xiong Tingbi, colluded with Li Ruzhen, or formed a clique for personal gain, all of them must be investigated.

Were these cases not investigated again?

No, these cases have been investigated all the time, and Wei Zhongxian at Dongchang never stopped.

Then why does Your Majesty force yourself to take a stand?

The meaning is obvious, that is, it is impossible to let people like yourself get the advantage in vain.

"It seems that His Majesty has understood our thoughts." Liu Yijing said expressionlessly.

Han Xu waved his hands indifferently and said directly: "We didn't intend to hide the matter from the beginning. Even if we didn't tell it, someone would remind His Majesty that it was expected. But we didn't expect them.

In order to fight back, we have made things bottomless. Now we are afraid we have no choice."

Speaking of this, Han Xu felt angry in his heart.

The whole thing is that you guys, Zou Yuanbiao, screwed up and there's nothing to say.

If you hadn't listened to me back then, how would you have ended up where you are today?

At this time, if you don't just admit defeat, you will cause something like this. This will cause everyone trouble.

"The question now is what should we do?" Han Xu asked.

Liu Yijing sighed softly, and said with a little helplessness in her tone: "Do we have any other choice?"

After listening to Liu Yijing's words, Han Xu suddenly became a little indifferent.

He really has no choice, which is why His Majesty did this. He doesn't need wallowers or fence-sitters, but people who are willing to rush to the front.

"Then let everyone write the question book!" Han Xu said word by word.

Although there are not many words in this sentence, it weighs more than a thousand pounds to the two people in front of me.

The struggle in the court has always been about staying together but not breaking up. In private, everyone goes back and forth and fights to the death, but there is always room for change unless absolutely necessary, so that there is room for change when the fight is lost in the end.

I had previously asked people below to write those impeachment papers, largely for this purpose.

Once things become unsustainable, those people will become the abandoned ones, and both parties will reach some kind of agreement after the abandoned ones are eliminated.

He just wanted to force the Donglin Party to surrender and give up their seats.

The Donglin Party's counterattack is the same, pulling the flag and pulling the skin of the tiger, making the matter extremely big and making their own side have some scruples, and then the two sides can reach a reconciliation to a certain extent, so that they won't fight to the death.

It's just a matter of seeing who loses less in the end, so that the other party can gain something.

This is a struggle within the limits that both sides can bear, but His Majesty does not want this.

Your Majesty directly saw through the minds of both factions, so he sent this imperial edict to the cabinet.

It seems to be just an imperial edict to ask questions, but in fact it is to allow myself to be more ruthless and put pressure on the Donglin Party completely.

If he really did this, the Donglin Party would definitely fight back with all their might.

The two sides are really going to fight to the death, and obviously the final result will be like this. His Majesty naturally hopes to do this, otherwise he would not provoke this thing in the middle.

The problem now is that the two sides are at odds. If they want to return to peace, one side must give in.

The problem now is that the referee does not need both sides to surrender, but needs both sides to fight, and the more intense the fight, the better.

If you don't want to fight, the referee will help the opponent to hit you, or even beat you to death directly.

"Mr. Ge, I need to make some arrangements." Han Xu stood up, cupped his hands towards Liu Yijing, turned around and walked straight out.

Looking at Han Xu's back, Liu Yijing sighed helplessly, with a wry smile on his face.

Things have finally turned into what they are now, and no one will dare to look down upon Your Majesty again.

Originally, I wanted to get a bargain, borrowing the help of His Majesty and Dongchang Wei Zhongxian. But now things are different. I am directly pushed to the front, and I can't even think about moving forward.

Speaking of which, I was still too greedy. If I hadn't been so greedy, I wouldn't have ended up like this. But there was no turning back and I could only move forward.

Everyone in the court was waiting, and everyone knew that the whole thing still lacked a breaking point.

When will this breaking point be? No one knows, but everyone knows it will be soon.

At this time, a copy of the question book was delivered to the cabinet.

After this question book came out, it instantly detonated the official circles of the Ming Dynasty.

Many people of insight have realized that the breaking point that everyone is missing has finally arrived.

This breaking point completely detonated the current court and completely detonated all situations. No one can stay out of it anymore.

This title book was written by Yu Maoheng, the left governor of the Inspectorate, which shows the importance of this title book.

You must know that there are many things to impeach people inside and outside the court, but officials of Yu Maoheng's level are basically not available. After all, not everyone can ask him to impeach.

Similar to later generations, when dealing with a village chief locally, it is impossible to dispatch the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

There are so many censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are so many public officials in various subjects of the imperial court. When will it be the turn of Yu Maoheng, the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to take action?

Naturally, it cannot be a small matter for him to take action, and his question book naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Several cabinet bachelors looked at Yu Maoheng's question book together. After just a few glances, everyone's expressions changed. They suppressed the shock in their hearts and read the entire question book with stiff hands.

This is a long memorial with a lot of content, but the core argument is already written in the title, which is the separation of the academy from cronies.

Yu Maoheng directly connected the academy with cronies, and Hongguoguo tore off this fig leaf of officialdom, exposing everything to the air.

ps: I recommend those who are in a book shortage to read Regan's "A Number of Famous People", it will definitely be interesting!
