137 The pressure is great
"Treacherous minister?" Emperor Chongzhen pointed his finger below and shouted angrily, "I see you are the traitor!"
In the Wenhua Palace, there were Emperor Chongzhen's angrily shouts: "You come and tell me, are there any treacherous ministers who donated all their wealth? If so, then I want such a treacherous minister. Is there any, and is there any?"
No one expected that today, the customary customs handed over a bunch of memorials to impeach Duke Xingguo. As a result, Emperor Chongzhen was furious and went crazy. This caught the ministers off guard and did not dare to bear the emperor's anger in person. He could only lower his head first to see if anyone else faced the emperor.
"Haha, traitor?" Emperor Chongzhen said, and couldn't help but sneer, "Don't think I don't know. Mr. is in charge of the Jinyiwei. Are you afraid, so you just want to try every means to impeach him, thinking that I will be as confused as before? Tell you, what I believe most in this world is Mr.! No matter how many impeachments are, it will not be useful. Let's do it..."
Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen slapped the case and said loudly in a decisive tone: "No matter what the reason is, if anyone dares to impeach the gentleman again, I will let him get out of here! If you don't believe it, come and try it?"
These days, he has been rumored to make trouble, and he is full of anger. Since his husband left the capital, he has not done anything, and the court has surrounded the rumor of impeaching the husband. If this continues, it would be strange if the Ming Dynasty does not perish!
I have never seen these ministers below. Emperor Chongzhen was so angry. Even those who dared to impeach the gentleman and would let anyone get out of here.
It’s true that no one in the civil servants in Wenhua Palace has the courage to try the emperor’s words. Is it just a saying or is it really good at saying it!
So, they all became clay Buddhas! As for their faces, those who are in the officialdom, they are as thick as the city walls, which is nothing. Isn’t it even a Tang Dynasty Shide who is spitting on his own face and leaving his name in history!
In Wenhua Hall, after Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, it became very quiet. It was so quiet that there were hurried footsteps outside the hall, and it could be heard clearly.
"Your Majesty, Duke Xingguo is back!"
Emperor Chongzhen was having a gloomy face when he heard the eunuch coming in at the gate of the hall report, but he was overjoyed and said a little surprised: "Ah, sir is back, okay, okay, just come back, hurry up, where is sir?"
Hearing this, the civil servants in the hall looked at each other with their heads down, and they were a little speechless.
"Sir, still waiting for the order at the Meridian Gate!"
"What?" Emperor Chongzhen immediately said, "Didn't I say that if you want to see me, you can enter the palace at any time. Oh, by the way, I have forgotten. In the future, I will give you a horse to ride in the Forbidden City, which will save a lot of effort!"
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember that there were still a group of ministers in front of him. When he remembered what they had just happened, he couldn't help but snorted and shook his sleeves and left, obviously he wanted to talk to Duke Xingguo alone.
As soon as he left, these civil servants were not necessary to stay in the Wenhua Hall. They raised their heads one by one and walked out of the hall. At the same time, most of them shook their heads and sighed.
From what happened just now, they found that at least in the short term, it seems impossible to overthrow Duke Xingguo at least, unless another major change occurs.
Among these people, I don’t know who it was, and suddenly murmured to himself: “It seems that only the gods and Bodhisattvas in the sky can be cured!”
No need to ask who it is to treat, everyone present understands who it is!
……………………
Not long after, Zhang Mingwei was led by the eunuch and arrived at Wuying Hall.
Emperor Chongzhen was already anxious. At first sight, he quickly stood up from the imperial throne, greeted him, and said repeatedly: "Sir, I'm back..."
As soon as he said this, he found that Zhang Mingwei looked tired and was shocked. He then remembered it and quickly changed his words and said, "Sir, thank you very much!"
After saying that, he also remembered what Zhang Mingwei was doing, so he asked again: "How is the situation in Fangshan County handled?"
In fact, in his heart, compared with the situation in the capital, the affairs in Fangshan County are really insignificant. However, because Zhang Mingwei dealt with it, he still suppressed his anxiousness and asked about the situation there first.
"It's still going well, everything is as expected." Zhang Mingwei smiled and said, "What's going on in the capital now?"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately replied: "Sir, you don't know. Just after you left, the rumor started again. I asked Wang Chengen to thoroughly investigate the source of the rumor, but I found nothing. He couldn't tell the reason before that, which really made me feel very troubled. I know that those people are all for Mr...."
"No!" Zhu Mi, the invisible man behind Zhang Mingwei, couldn't help but speak when he heard this, "After receiving the order, he rushed back overnight, but ended up meeting a thief who assassinated the gentleman on the way..."
"What?" Emperor Chongzhen was shocked when he heard this. He quickly pulled Zhang Mingwei's hand and asked nervously, "How is it, sir, are you injured?"
He was merciful to God and actually descended from the sky. Although it came from four hundred years later, what is the difference between it and the gods descending to earth to save the Ming Dynasty?
If the gentleman had not appeared, the country would be destroyed in the Ming Dynasty in two years, and he would have to hang himself, as he would have to be ashamed of his ancestors!
Now, just as we want to rely on Mr. Lu, revive the Ming Dynasty and save the nation, we can do it even if anyone has any problems, but Mr. Lu must not have any accident!
Zhang Mingwei could understand Emperor Chongzhen's concern, but he couldn't stand a big man like this, so he broke free from his hand without a trace and said with a smile: "I was shocked and I just hurt a brother from Yongweiying camp."
After saying that, he asked about the specific situation in the capital. Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor and the admiral of the East Factory, rushed over after hearing the sound, so the four of them talked about this matter together.
It has to be said that the thief hidden in the darkness took advantage of Emperor Chongzhen to kill Zhou Bi'an and seize the title of Jiadingbo to make trouble, because there was the example of Wuqing Hou, it was really coming in full force.
Emperor Chongzhen just lost his temper in Wenhua Palace, but it was also the result of too much pressure. Others don’t know Zhang Mingwei’s explanation of the matter at that time, so of course he believed a lot. In and outside the palace, there was really a lot of pressure.
After Emperor Chongzhen said this, he said to Zhang Mingwei with longing eyes: "Sir, what do you think you should do about this?"
If Zhang Mingwei was asked to investigate the case of the fifth prince back then, to be honest, although he had talked about it at the beginning, he might have to be blind if he really did it. But now, this time, the successive experiences have given him a goal in his heart.
But no matter what, he didn't dare to make a promise. He thought for a while and said, "Give me a copy of the information investigated by the East Factory before, I'll take a look first. For Eunuch Wang, please check the palace first to ensure the safety of the palace."
When Wang Chengen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it. He just suppressed the joy in his heart, and nodded repeatedly with a worried expression: "This is natural!"
After saying that, he thought for a while and asked again: "I don't know if sir has any advice?"
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei frowned and thought for a while before saying, "If we look at the greatest effect of the thieves causing trouble, they may target Queen Zhou. However, if we look at the thieves from the perspective that it is easy for them to start, who is in poor health in the palace, then they are most likely to succeed!"
The fifth son of the emperor was also weak and sickly, and after the rumors started, his condition worsened and he died.
After hearing this, Zhu Mai immediately became nervous and immediately said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Father, daughter will accompany her mother!"
"Well, go and comfort your mother!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said.
As soon as Zhu Mai left, the worry on Emperor Chongzhen's face became obvious. He heard him say to Zhang Mingwei: "Concubine Tian is in poor health now. Sir, she won't be in trouble, right?"
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he remembered that Concubine Tian died of illness this year. It seemed that she gave birth to four sons and only one survived in the end. She was too sad and died of serious illness.
By the way, that fifth son of the emperor was born to Concubine Tian.
After hearing Emperor Chongzhen's question, Zhang Mingwei didn't want to hide it, so he told the truth, "Concubine Tian should be a key protection. If possible, Your Majesty can reveal the true situation of the fifth son to her, inspire her to take revenge, and not be sad all day long, and maybe nothing will happen."
According to the information of later generations, this Concubine Tian is good at everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is capable of chess and archery. In other words, according to her physique, normally, she will not be so short-lived. After all, she doesn’t have to go out to work. How much risk can she have to stay in the palace all day?
Emperor Chongzhen actually favored Concubine Tian the most. When he heard this, he immediately ordered Wang Chengen to pay special attention to protection.
Then, I continued to discuss the next thing with Zhang Mingwei and listened to Zhang Mingwei's analysis.
……………………
"Get out of here!" In a deep courtyard in the capital, a man looked at the group of people kneeling in front of him and shouted angrily.
I really waited for such a good opportunity but failed, so how can I not annoy him!
Seeing the group of children get out, he scolded Zhou Yuji again. If it weren't for his protection, he would have succeeded.
While cursing like this, the manager of the mansion came over carefully and reported to him: "Master, Duke Xingguo has returned to the capital and has now gone to the palace!"
It was expected that Zhang Mingwei might have entered Beijing overnight but failed. Now that he has returned to the capital, he is expected.
Therefore, he also scolded the manager who reported the news.
Not long after, he began to scold all the civil and military officials in the court again. Such a good opportunity, he could not even win one person. He was such a group of pigs!
