Chapter 610: Arrogant to the point of reasoning
Dongchang's actions can be said to be open and upright without any concealment. Mobile phone access m
When Hou Guoxing escorted Liu Fengzhong into the capital, the senior officials who had already fallen asleep and who had not yet slept received news one after another and had to gather together to discuss countermeasures.
This is not the first time that the fact has happened.
This time it was Fu Changzong's mansion, two people from the cabinet, five of the six ministers, and seven of them gathered in the pavilion, all of whom were a little solemn.
Their concerns about Wei Zhongxian came from his glorious history in the past, and also from his unknown means.
The emergency yamen is in power and cannot control it. If they really want to do anything, they don’t even have the chance to recover!
Everyone was silent for a while, and Chen Xun asked, "What's the news on the Governor's Court?" He had no news on the Ministry of Justice, and he thought there would be no one in the Governor's Court, but he couldn't help asking.
The Governor Yuan is in the hands of King Jing. This person is the prince of the royal family. Now they are all avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to push the royal family away from the court's decision-making circle.
Fu Changzong was closer to King Jing. He shook his head and said, "There is no special movement on the Governor's Court. He is stepping up preparations, selecting people, and arranging Governor's Courts in various places. I am afraid that I don't have time to pay attention to Wei Zhongxian's side. But the Anti-Corruption Bureau is very active, so I have to ask King Jing for details."
Everyone nodded silently, and the Governor General, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple were all busy laying out local areas and completing the goal of "political reform". This was their top priority.
As a former eunuch party member, Xu Dahua was most worried about him and said with a worried look on his face: "Wei Zhongxian has already taken action. What should we do now?"
Zhou Yingqiu knew a lot about Wei Zhongxian. He has not been in vain in the Ministry of Personnel over the years. He looked calm and said indifferently: "We don't know anything about what Wei Zhongxian wants to do and how to do it. The current important matters of the cabinet and the six ministries are still constantly promoting the "new policy". As for Wei Zhongxian... he watched coldly, and we need to take action when we take action, otherwise it will only be more chaos and will not help stability."
Zhou Yingqiu's words naturally make sense, but if it is reasonable, it cannot solve their worries.
Wei Zhongxian's methods and the power he now possesses can overthrow Beizhili!
What Shen Yongmao was most worried about was military power. Wei Zhongxian had already controlled the two thousand troops in Jingdong Camp and the two thousand cavalry of the East Factory. If there were a little more, something uncontrollable might happen!
That is something they absolutely cannot tolerate!
Shen Yongmao said, "The patrol battalion is on standby day and night, and should protect the capital's stability. If the palace is in danger, can it be guaranteed to be in danger?"
Everyone looked slightly shocked and immediately thoughtful.
The Imperial Guard is now under the jurisdiction of the Deputy Commander Li Sizhong, who was a "traitor" who rebels from the Ming Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. In this era of extremely strict requirements on character, Li Sizhong was not worthy of their trust at all.
However, Li Sizhong was a surrender after all, and the court wanted to show tolerance and generosity. Secondly, there was a Li Cairen who was among them, who was considered a relative of the foreigners, so he should not be looked down upon.
Sun Chengzong understood and thought, "I will go to the palace to see the queen mother later. Please make some adjustments to the arrangement of the imperial guards, and at the same time curb Li Sizhong's power."
Although women cannot interfere in politics, it is no problem to ask Empress Dowager Zhang to arrange the palace ban at this time. Li Sizhong will not object, and their court officials will not.
Bi Ziyan nodded slightly and said, "I will call people involved in the emergency yamen such as Liushemen, the Ministry of Justice, the Governor's Office, etc. to the cabinet to discuss it seriously. Anything must be reported to the cabinet in a timely manner to deal with it seriously."
No one of them had any objections. Xu Dahua was unwilling to speak and was about to speak when suddenly a noise of gongs and drums came from outside the palace.
"What happened?" Chen Xun stood up suddenly and shouted to the door.
Others also turned around. Recently, they have all become nervous and are frightened whenever there is any turbulence.
Xu Jie, the secretary of the cabinet, hurriedly walked in and said, "I have sent someone to ask, sirs later."
Everyone frowned, and Chen Xun also sat down patiently.
The capital is in a turbulent situation, and nothing big or small can be treated easily.
Not long after, Xu Jie came to report, with a strange expression and said, "Go back to you, it is Hou Guoxing, who is escorting the river in Dongchang. Liu Fengzhong, the governor of the Jianfu, was parading the streets."
“Paradise?”
Everyone frowned even more. What does Wei Zhongxian mean? What is the abacus?
Even if he couldn't guess thoroughly, Bi Zi said seriously, "Send someone to keep an eye on it. You must report every move of Dongchang. There must be no delay at all, do you understand?"
The senior officials of the court obviously regarded Wei Zhongxian as their biggest enemy. Xu Jie understood and said, "Yes, let's make arrangements now."
At the same time, Hou Guoxing rode a tall horse, led twenty cavalry, and escorted Liu Fengzhong into the city.
Liu Fengzhong was locked in a cage. Behind him were a series of flat carts with tight guards, with antique calligraphy and paintings, real gold and silver, thick silver notes, opened for viewing.
It's amazing at this glance, even the rich may not be able to give out so much at once.
People on both sides beat drums and drums and shouted loudly.
"Liu Fengzhong, the governor of Hejianfu, embezzled and accepted bribes, and the dirty silver stolen goods exceeded 300,000 taels..."
"After reporting from the people, they are now arrested and escorted to the Ministry of Justice awaiting trial!"
"Punish the past and prevent the future, cure the disease and save the patient, surrender yourself, and be given a lighter punishment!"
Dangdangdang
Such a huge movement attracted the attention of the people in the capital. There was something in front of you, and it was true to see it!
"Down with corrupt officials!"
"Support the new court policy and eliminate corrupt officials!"
"Bow him to death!"
The enthusiasm of the people was intense, and stones, rotten eggs and everything they could throw were desperately smashed at Liu Fengzhong.
Liu Fengzhong shrank his body with all his might, his face full of acne and nervousness.
Once there was such a thing, even if he didn't die, he would have to peel off his skin!
Hou Guoxing escorted Liu Fengzhong all the way to the Ministry of Justice, and Liao Changyong was already waiting.
Hou Guoxing dismounted and raised his hand with a solemn expression, "Mr. Liao, the prisoner Liu Fengzhong has been arrested, and the evidence is complete. Please ask the Ministry of Justice to detain it and hand it over to Dali Temple for trial as soon as possible."
Liao Changyong just got the news and was a little uncomfortable with Hou Guoxing's high-sounding words.
When did Dongchang be so particular? So open and upright?
However, the Secretary of State did not want the situation to expand, so it would be great to be able to arrest the criminals in his hands. He raised his hand and said, "I am sorry, please accept it now." As he waved his hand, the servants of the Ministry of Justice hurried out, taking the people and counting the stolen goods, and they were busy.
After the Ministry of Justice was counted correctly, Hou Guoxing raised his hand to Liao Changyong and said, "I'm in charge of the official business, I'll say goodbye."
廖昌永也不太适应‘讲道理’的东厂,只能愣愣的回礼道;“有劳.”
Dongchang's every move was staring at countless pairs of eyes, and it spread throughout the capital in a short time.
Everyone was confused. What is Dongchang doing? It is completely unpredictable!
Especially when it was transmitted to the cabinet, a group of people remained silent.
If the Dongchang follows the rules, the sun will not come out, and there must be a conspiracy here!
This is the voice of everyone.
