Chapter 68 Getting Ready

The court's improper employment of personnel, like Wang Huazhen and Yuan Yingtai, directly ruined Liaodong's good situation.

The Later Jin Dynasty occupied Guangning, and successively occupied Yizhou, Pingyangqiao, Xixingbao, Jinzhou, Tiechang, Dalinghe, Jin'an, Youtunwei, Tuanshan, Zhenning, Zhenyuan, Zhen'an, and Jingping which the Ming army had abandoned.

Castle and more than 40 castles.

Nurhaci ordered the people west of the Liao River to be driven to the east of the Liao River.

After returning to the court, this matter became a major issue in the party struggle.

However, it is not a difficult decision within the Donglin Party, which is to keep Wang Huazhen. After all, Wang Huazhen is one of our own, and he is also a disciple of Ye Xianggao. Such a gentleman can be forgiven for his slight negligence.

So who will take the blame? Of course it is Liaodong’s top military commander, Liaodong Manager Xiong Tingbi.

Of course, there are also people in the Donglin Party who are opposed. Because there are also people who dislike Wang Huazhen. These people are the hard-working faction of the Donglin Party headed by Han Xu.

Just when Donglin was still fighting among itself in order to "protect the bear and repel the bear", Wang Huazhen had already realized that the Donglin Party building was about to collapse, so she decisively abandoned it and was still running to defend herself (incidentally participated in

The "Donglin gentlemen" who framed Xiong Tingbi) turned to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to use Wang Huazhen to expose the Donglin Party's "corruption of Liaodong Army salaries" and defeated the remaining power of the Donglin Party in one fell swoop.

In August of the fifth year of Tianqi, Xiong Tingbi generously went to the market for "the crime of falling into Guangning" and spread the news to all nine sides. Although Wei Zhongxian protected Wang Huazhen in every possible way, the crime was confirmed, and Wang Huazhen was suspended until he was executed in the fifth year of Chongzhen.

Then Li Ruzhen was released, but Wang Huazhen was killed. This was the Donglin Party's counterattack. Wang Huazhen died unjustly, but Xiong Tingbi died very unjustly.

In the whole incident, the only one who suffered was Xiong Tingbi. Not only was he killed, but he was also reported to all sides.

And Wang Huazhen's death was not because of his crimes in Liaodong, but because of his betrayal to the Donglin Party.

After Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang Huazhen's question book, all these messy things were tumbling in his mind.

He knew that it was time for him to make a decision. These people had to be swept away. Even if there were accidental injuries, they could not be left behind.

If Ming Dynasty lets these people cause harm again, then there will be no way to get it anymore.

Zhu Youxiao was ready to take action.

"Go and pass Wei Zhongxian." Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong and said with a dark face.

Chen Hong suddenly trembled with fright and said quickly: "I'll go right now, slave."

After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair with a sullen face and deep eyes.

This time it will move like thunder.

Soon Wei Zhongxian walked in.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Wei Zhongxian also felt the murderous aura in his body. He was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and said, "Your servant Wei Zhongxian comes to see the emperor."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian and asked expressionlessly: "Is it safe for you to interrogate Li Ruzhen and others? They cannot be brought back to Dongchang and must be interrogated in Dali Temple. Is it feasible?"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. His guess was indeed correct, the emperor was really going to take action!

"Go back to your Majesty, that's fine." Wei Zhongxian said quickly and loudly.

He really thought it was possible, and this was not a lie, because he had already prepared for it.

It can be said that Wei Zhongxian has been busy with this matter these days. He knows very well what this matter means to him, so he is very, very eager to improve his status.

This time is an opportunity. Once he succeeds, his power and status will be greatly improved.

"That's good." Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then said: "I will let you come to review, and I will send someone to deliver the order later."

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, signaling Wei Zhongxian to step back.

"My slave, please leave." Wei Zhongxian agreed, bowed his body and retreated. Although he suppressed his excitement, his body was almost trembling with joy.

When Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Youxiao looked at the direction Wei Zhongxian left with uncertain eyes.

Of course Zhu Youxiao knew what Wei Zhongxian was excited about. He asked him to try the case in the Three Laws Division, which showed his distrust of the presiding judge this time, that is, his distrust of Zou Yuanbiao.

If you were a courtier in the Han and Tang Dynasties, you could kill yourself. But don't think about it in the Ming Dynasty. He would not commit suicide. He would probably jump up and fight back.

But Zhu Youxiao just stepped on his face, and stepped on it hard.

The court was in turmoil. Regarding the selection of governor of Liaodong and the impeachment of Xiong Tingbi, the whole court was in chaos.

At this time, an imperial edict broke the chaos, and it was Xiong Tingbi who framed the case that everyone had not paid attention to for a long time.

Originally, everyone thought that Yang Lian's title book was handed in, and His Majesty also appointed Zou Yuanbiao as the new chief judge. At this point, the matter was completed. The final result was that Yao Zongwen and others were saved, and His Majesty punished Wei Zhongxian.

.

Although it won't kill Wei Zhongxian at once, it will definitely make Wei Zhongxian lose His Majesty's trust.

But who would have thought that at such a time, this matter would actually cause waves again.

The content of the imperial edict is very simple. It probably means that everyone is impeaching Wei Zhongxian for making false accusations. Naturally, I, as an emperor, should be fair-minded and not listen to partial beliefs. This is the way to be a king. Since everyone is impeaching Wei Zhongxian, then I

Also give him a chance to interrogate Yao Zongwen and others. Of course, this matter does not need to go to Dongchang and be interrogated in the Sanfa Division.

As soon as this imperial edict came out, everyone was shocked.

What does your Majesty mean by this? Does your Majesty want Wei Zhongxian's life?

Anyway, no matter what it means, no one believes that Wei Zhongxian can come up with anything during the interrogation. Yao Zongwen and others are not stupid either. They have already retracted their confessions once, so it is naturally impossible to retract their confessions this time.

Seeing that he is about to be saved, if he retracts his confession at this time, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

How could Wei Zhongxian ask anything without Dongchang's punishment?

Under such circumstances, naturally no one objected to Wei Zhongxian's interrogation.

Immediately afterwards, news came from the palace that Wei Zhongxian himself went to invite His Majesty.

Obviously Wei Zhongxian was unwilling to give in, and His Majesty was angry, so he agreed to Wei Zhongxian's request.

Everyone saw hope, a hope to overthrow Wei Zhongxian. As the saying goes, you can't survive if you commit suicide, Wei Zhongxian is suing for his own death!
