The court has always had rules and systems for impeachment, and it does not mean that you are sure that it is a fact if you impeach.

Because censors allow news and news, they naturally have to allow others to argue.

The usual process is that someone writes a letter to impeach, and the person who is impeached has to be at home. At the same time, he will write a letter to defend himself, waiting for His Majesty's handling.

If there is no problem, then the matter will naturally pass; if His Majesty wants to deal with you, he will send someone to investigate the case.

This is for the central officials.

If a local official is impeached, the court will send someone to the local area to investigate.

Once verified, then you will deal with it as much as you should; if not verified, then there will be no other facts.

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew about this process, and now it depends on what Zhao Nanxing should do.

If Zhao Nanxing could explain it in the hall today and be recognized by Zhu Youxiao, then naturally he would not have anything to do.

If it doesn't work, then Zhao Nanxing needs to go back and wait for investigation. Someone may impeach him in the future, so he needs to explain in the title book.

At this time, Zhao Nanxing had already stood up and did not go to see the others.

He knew very well that this was actually a party struggle.

Someone has a crush on his position, and Liu Yijing is involved in this matter behind his back.

Some things that impeach yourself are actually not easy to explain. But what you should say still has to be said.

Zhao Nanxing said, "Your Majesty, I and others founded Donglin Academy to spread the sages' learning. As for the mutual connection and formation of gangs for personal gain, we did not serve as officials in the court at that time, where did we form gangs for personal gain? As for the criticism of current affairs, we were slandering the court and slandering the king, there was no way to talk about it."

"We are waiting for a patriotic heart and loyalty to Your Majesty is all about heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon! Have you ever had such a bad idea? We dare not forget the teachings of the saints at all times, and what we preach is the learning of the saints. Where did the heresy come from?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhao Nanxing quietly.

It’s not that Zhao Nanxing’s rebuttal is not strong, but that there is no way to refute this kind of problem.

Because no matter what you say, it depends on one mouth, the key to things is not what you say or what you do, but who the emperor believes in.

If the emperor believes that you have not formed a clique for personal gain and that you have not done these things, then everything will be easy.

These statements are all superficial things, but they are actually done later.

The Donglin Party is actually helpless. They have lost His Majesty’s trust in them.

Zhao Nanxing also knew in his heart that what he said now was actually of little use, because His Majesty no longer believed in these people.

Liu Yijing also knew this very well, so they attacked unscrupulously. The matter was done behind the scenes. By the time they were asked to talk about it on the table, they were basically confident.

Of course, it wouldn't work if you just talk, so they made such a crime later, and the Ministry of Works embezzled money.

Zhao Nanxing felt very innocent. Is this his own problem? This was not something he had after he arrived at the Ministry of Works!

Everyone in the court knew this. Even if they were responsible, they were the Minister of Works, not Zhao Nanxing!

But they just linked these two things together. It was obviously not that much, but after they were connected, the relationship became big, and it also involved the case in Liaodong.

Who doesn’t know how sensitive this case is now? Once it is involved, it will be difficult to get out of here again!

Zhao Nanxing could only explain with a grudge and slowly said: "As for the case of embezzlement of silver in the Ministry of Works, I am not very clear about this matter. I have not been in the Ministry of Works, so I don't know much about these things very well. However, I think if such a thing is true, it will inevitably need to be severely punished. I ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter strictly, and no matter who is involved, I will never tolerate it."

This is Zhao Nanxing's statement, and it is also his attitude.

He did not force his excuses, but in fact he was to take into account His Majesty's attitude.

Sometimes the more you force the explanation, the more people don’t believe it.

The matter is not about the case itself, but about the problem behind it. If the problem behind it is not solved, and just entangled in the case, it actually does not make much sense, and will suffer a great loss.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhao Nanxing, nodded gently, and said, "I still trust my dear, and the affairs of the Ministry of Works should be handed over to the Ministry of Works. Since my dear thinks that this matter should be investigated, and it is necessary to be investigated strictly, then I will hand over this matter to my dear and check it from the Ministry of Works. I hope my dear can find a result."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao's words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Although this seems to be Zhu You proofreading Zhao Nanxing's trust, not only did the previous matter not investigated, but also handed over the investigation to Zhao Nanxing.

But the people present were not fools, they were all old foxes in the officialdom. Of course they knew what this meant. This just shows that His Majesty doubted Zhao Nanxing!

If Your Majesty really trusts you, you will ask you to go home and wait, and then ask others to investigate to prove your innocence.

Now Your Majesty asks you to investigate yourself, that is, you need to prove your innocence yourself, which is much more difficult.

If the things you found cannot satisfy Your Majesty, then your official journey will be almost over. Besides, there are people staring at you and finding fault for you, and things will be even more difficult to deal with.

Zhao Nanxing felt bitter in his mouth, and he also knew in his heart that His Majesty still did not trust people like him and he needed to pay more.

Let yourself go back to the Ministry of Works to check, how to check?

It is definitely not possible to find out anything. But I know how deep the water is. If I really dig deep, I will even load the entire work department into it.

Although I was not involved, if I checked it myself, I would instead involve myself.

If someone else is asked to investigate, then just prove your innocence.

I felt mixed emotions, but Zhao Nanxing had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I obey the order."

After Zhao Nanxing retreated, this matter came to an end for the time being.

But everyone knows that this is just the beginning, not the end.

At the same time, many people were waiting quietly, even lowering their heads, waiting for the next wave of attacks.

There is no end to Liu Yijing, and Zhao Nanxing will not give up.

"Your Majesty, I have this report." After Zhao Nanxing stood back, another person stood up.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the person who stood up this time.

This time I am still a censor.

With the lessons from the past just now, everyone was worried this time. Who knows what happened to these censors?

Zhu Youxiao also looked at this person. He found that he still didn't recognize him, so he felt a little embarrassed.

However, Wang An, who was standing beside him, was more tactful and approached Zhu Youxiao and said, "The emperor, this man is Cui Chengxiu, and he is the censor of the Censorate."

I didn't expect that this person was Choi Chengxiu.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but look at him carefully.

You should know that this person is so famous that there is basically no lower limit.

In history, after Cui Chengxiu was promoted to the Censor, he inspected Huai and Yang. During this period, Cui Chengxiu was reported by the Censor Gao Panlong for stolen goods and private matters, and was dismissed by the court to wait for disposal.

So he defected to Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, kowtowed and cried, begging him to be his adopted son.

At that time, Wei Zhongxian was attacked by court ministers and was about to seek foreign aid, so he took Cui Chengxiu in and made a fuss for him and restored his official position. Therefore, Cui Chengxiu hated Donglin Party to the core and was the vanguard of Wei Zhongxian's opposition to the Donglin Party.

He collected the list of Donglin Party members and non-Donglin Party members into "Comrades' Books" and "Tianjian Books" respectively, and presented them to Wei Zhongxian for him to promote similar people and fight against dissidents.

It can be said that this person is a strategist under Wei Zhongxian, and naturally there is no lower limit when doing things.

Cui Chengxiu was able to recognize Wei Zhongxian as her godfather, which shows how unbearable his character is under the universal values ​​of this era.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't care much. Cui Chengxiu was the best candidate for a cruel official. So Zhu Youxiao was quite looking forward to him.

After glanced at Cui Chengxiu, Zhu Youxiao said, "If you have anything, please tell me."

"Report to Your Majesty, the case of the Donglin Party forming a clique for private affairs is already proof. The Dongchang has found many people, who have indeed falsely accused Xiong Tingbi and colluded with Li Ruzhen. They attacked and corrupted Liaodong military pay and corrupt the rules and regulations. In the court, they defended Li Ruzhen and Yao Zongwen and others, which was the greatest evil!"

"I would like to determine this case as a major case that was approved by the Imperial Court, and thoroughly investigate from top to bottom. All involved persons will be severely punished. This case involves major issues. I think it is necessary to select a capable general to investigate the case thoroughly!"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Cui Chengxiu and didn't understand it.

Although what should have happened in history has not happened yet, Choi Chengxiu should have not defected to Wei Zhongxian yet. Why do she look so much like Wei Zhongxian wearing a pair of pants today?

Is this the correction of history?

You should know that I didn’t give the case to the Censorate and Dali Temple before, but what are they doing?

Because this matter has already arrested Yang Lian and Zou Yuanbiao, it is naturally impossible to leave it to them.

Who else can I give to the rest? That is, Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Cui Chengxiu's meaning is very obvious, that is, to let Wei Zhongxian preside over the investigation of this major case.

Although Zhu Youxiao has put the person in the East Factory now, he just asked Wei Zhongxian to interrogate him and did not mean to turn it into a big case.

Choi Chengxiu is just making things bigger, and it’s not a big deal.

But all the old fried dough sticks were present. They already understood what this person meant. This person was colluding with Wei Zhongxian from the East Factory.

Wei Zhongxian now has mastered the Dongchang and has gained the trust of His Majesty. It was something that everyone expected to reach out to the court.

Of course, there will be people in the court who collude with Wei Zhongxian because there are too many people without a lower limit.

But no one expected Choi Chengxiu to be so unlimited!

It would be fine if you defect to Wei Zhongxian, but you actually said such things with such a big fanfare?!
Chapter completed!
