Chapter two hundred and forty-six alarming the court and the opposition
Cui Chengxiu's resignation continued to ferment.
Cui Chengxiu is one of the hardcore eunuchs. He can force the chief assistant Gu Bingqian to leave. His power can be seen. His sudden resignation was terrified by countless people in the court and the country. Even the former Minister of Personnel like Zhou Yingqiu could not calm down.
His son, Wei Zhongxian's godson, stood in front of Zhou Yingqiu at this moment, and said with an uneasy look on his face: "Dad, what's going on with Lord Cui? Why did he suddenly resign? Is it a godfather or the emperor? No, something will happen, right?"
Zhou Yingqiu sat on the chair, his expression changed constantly, and suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go to Silijian to see you fucking grandpa."
Just after walking a few steps, he turned to look at his son and said, "You go find Zhou Zhengyun, or Zhou Hengping, and get closer to them."
His son was stunned, then he understood and said in a serious manner: "Yes, the child knows."
This is to place bets on both sides and leave a way out.
Zhou Yingqiu didn't say much and quickly left the mansion.
Zhou Yingqiu is still like this, others can imagine it.
Office of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Secretary’s Office.
Wu Chunfu had just arrived a few days ago and sat on the chair. When he heard the news that Cui Chengxiu had resigned, he was speechless in a daze.
Cui Chengxiu, he must be cautious and dare not confrontation head-on, and was just like that Zhou Zhengyun?
There was a chief in charge standing in front of Wu Chunfu. He looked at Wu Chunfu's expression and whispered: "Sir, there is news that it was Duke Wei, who was also in the Qianqing Palace at that time. The emperor refused to let Cui Shangshu go. It was Duke Wei who persuaded the emperor to allow it."
Wu Chunfu frowned slightly and then said, "Cui Chengxiu broke out so many troubles. If I were Duke Wei, I would do the same."
No matter how despicable and shameless he is outside, anyone in front of the emperor must be selfless and put state affairs first in everything. Wei Zhongxian will definitely not speak up and keep his followers, so as not to leave a bad impression on the new emperor.
This is still a new emperor who no one knows the depth!
The head of the official saw Wu Chunfu say this and said, "Sir, now everyone is talking about Cui Shangshu's resignation. Zhou Zhengyun's reputation among the clear stream has soared into the sky. I heard that many people are preparing to proclaim Zhou Zhengyun."
Wu Chunfu sneered and said, "They want to put Zhou Zhengyun on the fire and roast him, thinking that he didn't die fast enough!"
Zhou Zhengyun defeated Cui Chengxiu. Is this a victory? This is the way to die! When the court officials find out the new emperor and the court situation is stable, the first person to die will be Zhou Zhengyun!
The eunuch party will tear him apart!
Qingliu still wants to raise him now, and the higher he lifts, the more he will die, the more miserable he will be!
The head of the official said: "The villain also thinks so. It must be that the people of the new party want to continue to test Mr. Wei and the emperor, and force Zhou Zhengyun to the front. It seems that Zhou Zhengyun is just a chess piece."
"It's all a group of people who don't know what they are alive,"
Wu Chunfu leaned on the chair, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, saying, "Since they all want to push them, I'll push them too. Go and release the news, just say that I will recommend Zhou Zhengyun as the official department to the ministerial officer."
The head opened his eyes and then smiled and said, "Yes, the villain will do it now."
The official department is the most important of the six departments. I don’t know how many people break the head for this. If this news is really released, Zhou Zheng will definitely be the target of public criticism!
Just as Wu Chunfu was about to push Zhou Zheng, a man was suddenly promoted to the vacant Minister of War, Yan Mingtai.
This person has a rich resume, but is very similar to Wang Huazhen. He is a fence-ridden faction between the eunuch party in Donglin and the eunuch party. It is almost a tacit understanding between the New Party and the eunuch party.
As soon as he took office, he told his colleagues: "I and Wang Shishi often have old things. I said that Zhou Zhengyun is available. Can I be appointed as a member of the Ministry of War?"
The general meaning is that he had a friendship with the king's ministers and wanted to promote Zhou Zheng to the Ministry of War to serve as the sixth rank of Yuanwailang.
As soon as this sentence came out, it naturally filled the fire in the boiling sound.
Zhou Zhengsan fell Cui Chengxiu, and some unpredictable consequences continued to appear. He was placed on a fire, and in the raging fire, people kept trying hard to add fire below.
South of the city, Han Cheng’s mansion.
It happened that a few people came to visit Han Cheng. Several people sat down and put down the teacup. An old man smiled and said, "Jinghu, your disciple is very good. The wind is strong and the storm knows the strong grass, and the slander knows the loyal ministers. At this time, he can still impeach the eunuch without fear. He can really be called the word "loyal minister".
Han Cheng didn't know what was happening outside, and he looked puzzled. He only accepted two of his disciples, and they were all obsessed with studying. Where did the word "loyal minister" come from?
Fortunately, everyone is a friend for many years. I know that Han Cheng doesn’t go out often, so I just said it simply.
After hearing this, Han Cheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Zhou Zhengyun is not my disciple, but he has come to visit one or two occasionally recently. It is indeed rare for him to write a letter at this time, uphold his faith and ignore his death."
Everyone did not expect that this was not Han Cheng's disciple. One of them said: "Jinghu, you have been studying all your life, and you have never thought about becoming an official? Even if you don't become an official, you have never thought about showing your ambitions to your apprentice?"
After the man finished speaking, Han Cheng was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Scholars, no one has the heart to "resolve the affairs of the king and the world and open up peace for the whole world"? They are just trapped in reality and cannot be used.
Seeing that Han Cheng didn't say anything, another person said, "Zhou Zhengyun will definitely suffer a great disaster when he overthrew Cui Chengxiu this time."
Han Cheng frowned, looked up at the few people, and said, "Today I will only talk about books, not people."
Everyone knew each other. Seeing Han Cheng say this, they smiled and agreed, but they knew in their hearts that Han Cheng should have some thoughts.
When the chaos outside was outside, the Qianqing Palace was still quiet.
Zhu Youjian stood in front of the Qianqing Palace gate, watching Wei Zhongxian leave behind surrounded by more than 20 internal prisoners, with expressionless expression on his face.
Zhou Qingli stood beside Zhu Youjian, watching Wei Zhongxian not changing his past prestige, and shook his head secretly in his heart.
Zhu Youjian's expression quickly became smiling, turned to Zhou Qingli, and said, "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Qingli looked respectful and raised his hand to apologize, "Your Majesty! My son has always been jealous of evil and cannot control it. He really doesn't know the importance of it, and he talks about the affairs of the court. After I go back, I will definitely strictly control it and no longer cause trouble for Your Majesty. I hope you can be kind to him!"
Zhu Youjian was stunned, shook his head and laughed, "Zhou Zhengyun did nothing wrong, what should he do? What I asked is, do you think Eunuch Wei's words are true or false?"
Zhou Qingli had already guessed Zhu Youjian’s intentions, so he pretended to think for a while and said, “I heard that Cui Shangshu was very close to Eunuch Wei, and Eunuch Wei was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.”
Zhu Youjian nodded thoughtfully, looked at Wei Zhongxian's disappearing back, and did not speak anymore, his eyes flashed and he opened slightly wider.
Zhou Qingli lowered her head and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Zhou Zheng insisted on impeaching Cui Chengxiu, which was the most difficult thing to reason. The last thing he wanted to see was the new emperor who had been tolerating. Now it seems that the new emperor didn't care.
Zhou Zheng did not know the huge shock caused by Cui Chengxiu's resignation inside and outside the Ming Dynasty and the country, and was still on the way to the imperial prison.
Cui family, Cui Chengli was under the care of He Qitu and could not get out. She could only pass on the news through her servants, sort out his affairs, and prepare to leave Beijing with Cui Chengxiu.
Everything about him comes from this brother. If he hadn't been Choi Chengxiu, he would have stayed in the capital, and there would be no bones left that would have been swallowed!
