When Wei Zhongxian said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The so-called "scattered money on the tree is not just that we lost our favor one day and everyone changed their families. You must know that although these people who defect to us are all called the eunuch party, in fact... they are not wooden stakes, they are humans!"

Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian was determined to teach his stupid son a lesson.

"Anyone will have seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, sorrow, and different temperaments. A group of people will have different thoughts and their own interests. When they surrender to us, they can get benefits without violating their fundamental interests, they are the eunuchs who are called outside, but once they surrender to us, they have obtained everything they want now and may harm their interests. At this time... the so-called eunuchs who are rumored outside will be wiped out."

Wei Zhongxian said, looking at Wei Liangqing with a deep look, and then said, "So you see, there are many people with great ministers in all dynasties. Many times, they will encounter things that they know cannot do. Not to mention anything else, just let us say that the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, the famous founding hero Hu Weiyong, who was the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and was the famous founding hero. He was so prominent at that time. He was the prime minister of the Secretariat. Not only did he have a great minister, but his disciples and former officials were everywhere in the world. But what ended up he ended up?"

"In the case of Hu Weiyong, Emperor Taizu Gao of Emperor angry and killed 30,000 people, involving countless founding heroes, but... Think about it now, if Hu Weiyong was not so arrogant and domineering, nor would he contradict Emperor Taizu Gao of everybody?"

Wei Liangqing thought something and couldn't help but say, "Yes, sometimes my son felt it was incredible when he heard about this big case. What a heroic ruler Emperor Taizu Gao was. Hu Weiyong repeatedly contradicted him and opposed him everywhere."

Wei Zhongxian said, "This is not because Hu Weiyong is really confused. Think about it, how can people who have reached this level be confused? This is the most intelligent person in the world. How could he not know the nature of Emperor Taizu Gao, and how could he not know the methods of Emperor Taizu Gao? But he just bit the bullet and still had to do it. It is clear that once he angers Emperor Taizu Gao, he will die without a place to die and his family will be extinct. But he still did this, why is this?"

After hearing this, Wei Liangqing found it incredible.

Wei Zhongxian said, "Follow the roots and ask, it is the one who has reached his level. If he does not do this, the people below will find ways to force him to do this! He is the prime minister of Emperor Taizu Gao, but in order to become the prime minister step by step and control the government affairs of the world, I wonder how many people have surrendered to him, carried the sedan chair for him, promoted him, and acted as a pawn for him. These people, when Emperor Taizu Gao violated their interests, could Hu Weiyong retreat? Will Hu Weiyong dare to retreat again?"

"Hu Weiyong has no way out. He has no choice except to fight for his life and gain a glimmer of hope. What we encounter today is the same situation! I don't know how many people point at us for dinner. Now, they all expect us to come forward... to deal with Zhang Jingyi and to seize benefits from His Majesty for them. If we refuse, this so-called eunuch party will scatter, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will bite us back. Tell me, what should we do?"

Wei Liangqing subconsciously opened his eyes and said, "Does my father really want it..."

Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly and said, "We are different from Hu Weiyong. We are eunuchs, and we are eunuchs... we are different from Hu Weiyong, except that..."

Wei Zhongxian said this and sighed: "After a father, we have to consider you. We are not Hu Weiyong. Hu Weiyong has formed a clique and is extremely powerful. He is reluctant to lose what he has in his hands. Others also force him not to give up. This is because their Hu family needs such a person. But what about us? Liangqing, you are not smart people. All you can do is live your life peacefully and pass on the incense to our old Wei family in the future. As for other things... I don't expect it, so... we have nothing to give up. Some things will be lost... The most difficult thing in this world is to retreat bravely and to return to the field. If you say that we are unwilling to give up, this may not be true. How can people be willing? We are also human! But we and Your Majesty have a relationship after all, so we will just turn from this phoenix to the top, which is fine."

Wei Liangqing probably understood that Hu Weiyong came from a big family, and their whole family had already been involved too deeply and had no room for retreat.

And the Wei family...at least they can be a rich man! So he said: "Then what dad meant is... those 'brothers' in the past..."

The so-called brothers are naturally the godsons that Wei Zhongxian had taken in the first place, and the godsons that these godsons took in.

"Don't pay attention to them, let them go. You live a life of life and don't care about other things, but you have to be careful. What you worry most about your father is that someone pulls you out of the water. The more you are at this time, the more you should be careful."

Wei Liangqing said with a cautious expression: "Son understands. Starting today, my son will not go out and no foreign guests will be seen."

Wei Zhongxian was greatly relieved of his son's obedience and sensibility and nodded.

...

At this time, Emperor Tianqi had already entered the city.

When a team of Donglin Army appeared, the capital city rushed to tell each other.

But the atmosphere is still weird.

Wei Zhongxian and the six ministers and nine ministers of the cabinet were suddenly unprepared and naturally could not leave the city to welcome him. They had to hurried to Daming Gate to greet him.

The Daming Gate of the Forbidden City is now heavily guarded, and all officials kneel on both sides of the imperial road.

Emperor Aoki was wearing an ordinary gray coat and rode his horse without looking sideways.

Zhang Jingyi was on one side, and most of the guards around them were Donglin students.

Everyone knelt on the imperial road and shouted long live.

With the sounds of long live, Emperor Tianqi continued to beat the horse into the city as if no one was around.

At this time... someone suddenly said, "Your Majesty..."

So Emperor Tianqi rushed to the horse and looked back and saw that he was a fifth or sixth rank.

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "I have been waiting for the palace. I have not settled yet, is there anything wrong?"

The man stood up, bowed and walked under the horse of Emperor Tianqi, and then said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have a great matter."

Emperor Tianqi's eyes did not fall on the little sesame official at this time, but he looked around and knelt on the ministers on both sides with a smile.

He knew in his heart that the person under the horse was just a gunman for people.

I saw this man say, "I am Liu Yan, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy. What I want to report... is about Jiangnan."

Emperor Tianqi said proudly: "There is nothing wrong in Jiangnan!"

This is the truth.

I have already done myself, what else can I do?

The man named Liu Yan fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard some rumors."

Emperor Aoki smiled and said, "What rumor?"

"I heard that Your Majesty actually thought that the Jiangnan people... were all rebels. I want to confiscate their homes and punish them. I wonder if it is true?"

Emperor Tianqi nodded: "I entered Jiangnan this time to suppress the rebellion, of course I was to capture the rebels. What's the problem?"

"Your Majesty..." Liu Yan continued: "Since you are guilty, why not let Yousi interrogate?"

Emperor Tianqi looked at Liu Yan with a smile: "There is a sect?"

The so-called "youshi" is actually the meaning of the relevant departments.

"That's right." Liu Yan said with a solemn look: "If such a serious crime cannot be interrogated by the three departments of the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate, how can we convince the public? As the saying goes, the only way to be honest is to be justified. Is the Ming Dynasty now the Ming Dynasty governing the world with factories? I have heard many rumors recently, and a large number of people are talking about the court. The fundamental reason is that people's hearts are fluctuating, and the military and civilians are panicked, because no one knows whether the next one will be themselves. Strict punishments and harsh laws can certainly improve the atmosphere of the world, but even if it is severe punishments and harsh laws, the court needs to let the officials determine the relevant cases. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos. The country has its own laws. If even these cannot be followed, it is no wonder that everyone is in danger."

After saying that, Liu Yan burst into tears, bowed to the ground, and continued to say, "There have always been a punishment for the Ming Dynasty. I beg your Majesty to submit it to the Three Departments for the Jiangnan rebellion case."

Emperor Tianqi thought something and immediately said, "In this way, do you think the Jinyiwei has dealt with it unfairly?"

"The factory guards are good at detecting but not being good at making clear decisions. How can such a major case be so hasty?"

Emperor Tianqi turned around and glanced at Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi did not argue for himself. To be honest, everyone thought the Jinyiwei was unfair, but he felt that it was understandable. Anyway, the Jinyiwei's reputation was very bad, let alone... what does these things have to do with him? If you want to, go and try it.

Seeing that Zhang Jingyi didn't say anything, Emperor Tianqi looked calm, so he looked around the ministers and said, "What do you say, is this the same thing?"

The ministers hesitated.

It is obvious... Liu Yan is just a pawn, and what he said does represent the wishes of all officials.

After all, some people's eyes fell on the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and the Zuodu Censor of the Censorate.

These three people almost represent the three major criminal law giants in the court. In this regard, their words are the most important.

Seeing everyone silent and the scene was awkward, someone finally stood up: "Your Majesty, the Censorate is willing to bear this Jiangnan rebellion case."

The person who spoke was Li Kuilong.

Li Kuilong is one of Wei Zhongxian's "Five Tigers" and is also Wei Zhongxian's godson. He was previously the left deputy chief censor. Later, he was promoted to the left chief censor for his merits.

The Zuodu Censor had great power and was in charge of the entire censor and the Censorate, so he was extremely important in the court.
