Chen Hong looked at Luo Sigong, nodded with a smile, and said, "Master Luo, we are here to question His Majesty."

After hearing these words, Luo Sigong quickly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground. The surrounding Jinyi guards also knelt down at the same time.

Luo Sigong opened his mouth and said: "The Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Guards, I respectfully send you your holy greetings."

Chen Hong straightened his back, leaned his fly whisk on the crook of his left hand, made a gesture of worship toward the Forbidden City, and said loudly: "Honor, holy bow."

After saying this, Chen Hong continued to ask: "Luo Sigong, Your Majesty wants to ask you, are all the Jinyi Guards doing it for free? Or are they all idiots? Can you still get things done? If you can't do it, get out as soon as possible.

"

His Majesty began to scold himself, which frightened Luo Sigong so much that he quickly said loudly: "I am guilty, and the royal guards are willing to die for your Majesty."

"Your Majesty asks you, why hasn't the matter that was told to you been investigated clearly yet?" Chen Hong continued to speak loudly, his tone full of sternness, "It concerns the late Emperor. Is this how the Jinyi Guards handle their errands?"

After hearing Chen Hong's words, Luo Sigong was immediately excited.

This case was actually very big, but because it involved party disputes, it was handed over to Jin Yiwei. But that was just a stopgap measure. The government did not want to initiate this matter, so Jin Yiwei could only find nothing.

During this period of time, no one mentioned this matter at all, so Jin Yiwei did not dare to move.

Now His Majesty has sent Chen Hong to ask questions, and his tone is so bad that he even cursed Jin Yiwei. This does not mean that His Majesty is dissatisfied with Jin Yiwei, but it represents His Majesty's attitude towards this matter, that is, His Majesty hopes that Jin Yiwei will stir up trouble.

Thinking of this, Luo Sigong said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards have worked hard and have found out some clues. It's just that the matter is too big and involves too many things, and I can't sort it out for a while. Please give your Majesty more time."

Chen Hong nodded and continued: "Your Majesty only gives you three days. If you can give an explanation to Your Majesty, then all the Jinyi Guards will still have merit; if you cannot give an explanation to Your Majesty, then all the Jinyi Guards will take the blame."

"I obey the decree." Luo Sigong said loudly.

After hearing what Luo Sigong said, Chen Hong showed a smile on his face, walked over and stretched out his hand to help Luo Sigong up, and said enigmatically: "Let's talk inside."

Luo Sigong nodded quickly, smiled and made an invitation gesture, and said, "Eunuch Chen, please come inside."

After saying this, Luo Sigong led the way, and the two of them walked into the back hall together. The guest and host were seated, and tea was served.

After sending all the people in the room away, Luo Sigong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Eunuch Chen, you are finally here. I have been very unsure in my heart these days. After seeing Eunuch Chen, I

I feel a lot more at ease.”

"Master Luo, you are not involved in this matter, so why are you panicking? We are all on errands for His Majesty. As long as we get the job done well, there is no need to panic." Chen Hong picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"My father-in-law is joking." Luo Sigong said with a wry smile: "It is true that the matter has nothing to do with Jin Yiwei, but that Zou Yuanbiao died in Jin Yiwei's prison. There are a lot of speculations about Xiaguan now, how can Xiaguan not feel like this in his heart?

Panic?"

"That case has passed. Didn't the blame fall on Eunuch Wei? He has also been punished." Chen Hong said expressionlessly: "You don't have to worry about what happened before. I can't blame you no matter what.

On the other hand, Jin Yiwei must pay close attention to this matter now, and you must find out something."

"Eunuch, please let me know what we should do." Luo Sigong said quickly, while pretending to be listening attentively.

"Should we still ask our family about this matter? Isn't it your Jinyiwei's strength to interrogate cases? When will we need to ask our family? Your Jinyiwei is better than Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian's Zou Yuanbiao is dead, and he can't do anything.

There is no way. But aren’t all the people imprisoned in your Jinyiwei prison still alive?”

"Then you can interrogate as you should, and ask as you please. What's so difficult about this?"

Although Chen Hong's words were vague, Luo Sigong also understood that he was asking him to investigate as he should, starting directly with the people in the case.

For example, Li Kezhuo was the one who presented the red pill to the late emperor. Naturally, this person should be investigated carefully.

In addition to him, another key figure in these cases, Fang Congzhe, is also in the capital. Everyone has arrived in the capital. What does it matter if you ask yourself?

So as long as we build up the momentum, other things will be much easier to handle. Luo Sigong understood in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I know how to do it."

Chen Hong nodded and said with a smile: "We believe you can handle this matter well. This is not why we came here."

"If you have any questions, father-in-law, just ask me." Luo Sigong said quickly.

"This matter is not my private matter, but another matter. You go find that Chen Kedao and ask him to contact the people he can contact. Anyone who is from the same school of thought as him will be brought to the capital."

"In addition, go and check the Xinxue, see how many officials in the court are from the Xinxue, and mark which faction they come from. This matter is very important. His Majesty personally explained it in private. It must be

Do it quietly, don’t do it in a big way, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I understand." Luo Sigong replied quickly.

"Just understand in your heart. If you do these two things well, not only will you not be in any trouble, but you will be rewarded by His Majesty. So do it well. If you do it well, it will be good for both of us.

." After Chen Hong said this, he put down the tea cup and stood up.

"We are just here to ask questions. We can't stay here any longer. You should get things done as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I understand your humble position." After saying this, Luo Sigong took out something from the side and stuffed it to Chen Hong calmly.

Luo Sigong cupped his hands and said, "My father-in-law, please accept your little thought. I've been in trouble these few times. I hope your father-in-law won't be offended."

Chen Hong calmly put away the things, also cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Then our family is more respectful than obedient."

After returning to the palace, Chen Hong reported everything to Zhu Youxiao, except for the last little note.

Zhu Youxiao stopped talking after listening to Chen Hong's report.

Zhu Youxiao planned to take a look at the direction of the situation regarding this matter, mainly to see how the people below would fight. He hoped that more people would be hanged down.

In the past two days, the court has begun to get more heated. The point of contention is the case of the Donglin Party.

There is a group of people who believe that this case should be severely punished and that everyone should follow the Ming Dynasty law and kill those who deserve to be killed without mercy; another group of people believe that people need to be appeased and appropriate tolerance should be obtained.

There are also centrists, who believe that sentencing should be differentiated. Those who are guilty of the most heinous crimes must be beheaded and should not be lenient; some whose actions are pathetic, but whose emotions are sensitive, can be given a lighter sentence.

The centrists basically make their remarks but don't stick to it. It can be said that they just make a statement and then run away. Basically, no one on either side is offended, and then they pull them down and don't stick to it at all.

The most fierce arguments were between these two groups. They wanted to kill or not to kill, and they took turns writing questions, speaking out, and even throwing dirty water at each other.

In particular, the group that advocated killing was very ruthless. They believed that the case was still involved and should continue to dig deeper.

The group that advocated killing felt that there must be someone in the DPRK colluding with Liaodong to embezzle military pay. Why did these people lose three hundred thousand taels after they left the capital? Where did all their money go?

If this case is not clarified, it will not be over and must be severely punished. Among them, the Metropolitan Procuratorate danced the most joyfully. I don’t know whether it was to restore their image or for other purposes. They were very cruel to their colleagues, especially

As for Yao Zongwen, Feng Sanyuan and the others, they wished they could just kick them to the ground.

There is a reason why the Metropolitan Procuratorate hates them. What was the status of the Metropolitan Procuratorate originally? What is the status of the Metropolitan Procuratorate now? Isn’t it all caused by these people?

The Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War were the most impeached. Among them, Cui Jingrong, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, had been hiding at home and did not dare to come out.

No matter how these cases are resolved in the end, Cui Jingrong cannot escape. Even if he is not involved, so much money is gone. How do you explain it?

And the Minister of Household Affairs? Where’s the money? Where have all your corruption gone?

The two most popular people in the impeachment were Cui Chengxiu, the newly appointed right-hand censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Mao Wenru. The two of them were jumping up and down, biting anyone they caught, as if they would not stop until the Donglin Party was killed.

.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao was resting on the couch with an expressionless face, and there were several cabinet bachelors standing below.

The Sixth Department does not have all the people. What is missing is the people from the Military Department and the rear department. They really have no shame standing here now.

Zhu Youxiao looked at them and said slowly: "There has been a lot of quarrel between the government and the government these days. Have you come up with a solution?"

Everyone was silent.

By this time, the fire had already started, burning throughout the court, and no one could escape. His Majesty wanted to deal with a group of people wholeheartedly, but they were powerless to resist.

"Your Majesty, I thought we should deal with it quickly. The longer it is delayed, the more trouble it will be." This time Han Xu stood up and said bluntly.

"Feng Sanyuan, Yao Zongwen and others should be beheaded and their homes should be confiscated, as should Li Ruzhen. However, Yuan Yingtai and Wang Huazhen, if their crimes do not lead to death, should be dismissed from office and returned home, never to be renewed." Han Xu took a step forward and continued.

"I think this is inappropriate. If you violate the national law and are not severely punished, how can you be punished later? When everyone learns from them, what should we do? Do we still need the laws of the court? Do we still need the dignity of the court?"

Someone said angrily.

The person who spoke was none other than Cui Chengxiu. Originally, he was not qualified to stand here. The person standing here should be Yu Maoheng.

But this guy Yu Maoheng asked for leave, saying he was ill. He was very ill and was bedridden.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that Yu Maoheng was also an old fox, so he hid at this time.

However, Yu Maoheng could hide and push Cui Chengxiu out, which is what he wanted to see.
