Chapter two hundred and seventieth disaster
Zhu Youjian always had the idea of "only punishing the evil ones". He thought that the eunuch party was listed in Zhou Zheng's memorial, but he didn't know that there were so many branches and vines, just like a large and airtight net covering the entire Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Youjian was a person who was determined to be the saint of the Great Ming Dynasty, so how could he tolerate these things?
He couldn't help but look ugly, staring at Cao Huachun and said, "Has the palace been handled clean?"
Cao Huachun bowed and said, "Long live back, it's almost done."
Zhu Youjian listened to the three words "almost", snorted coldly, and said, "I've dealt with it completely!"
Cao Huachun's face changed and he quickly bowed, "I obey the order."
After Zhu Youjian said that, he looked at Zhou Qingli again, with a gentle expression and said, "Zhou Aiqing, how do you plan to investigate the Wei Zhongxian case?"
Zhou Qingli said: "When you go back to your Majesty, I plan to detain Wei Zhongxian's recent party members, Hou and Ke, and strictly investigate, find out the crimes Wei Zhongxian committed over the years and his affiliated party members, and make further plans."
Zhu Youjian wanted to eliminate Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party in one fell swoop, but he knew that this could not be done.
"I let the Jinyiwei cooperate with you and listen to your orders." Zhu Youjian said.
No matter what, I finally took a step. The people in the secret residence were still reliable. Huang Liji and others could not do anything except perfunctory!
"I obey the order." Zhou Qingli raised his hand and said.
...
Zhou Qingli came out of the palace and directly mobilized the Jinyiwei, quickly surrounded the "Wei Gong Mansion", and at the same time distributed a list, requiring the Jinyiwei to arrest people according to the list.
In just half a day, Wei Liangqing, Wei Zhao and other Wei family members were arrested, and Ke Guangxian, Hou Guoxing and others did not escape. They were arrested and imprisoned in the imperial prison.
Many people's minds that the Wei Duke's Mansion was investigated was a matter of time sooner or later, but the rapid seizure of the Wei Duke's Mansion still shocked the inside and outside the capital.
The Wei Duke’s Mansion is the core of the eunuch party. Everyone in the eunuch party has a close relationship with it. The Wei Duke’s Mansion was arrested and imprisoned, causing a huge storm in the capital.
At night.
Huang Liji Mansion.
Feng Quan no longer had the aggressiveness he had before, and did not rush Huang Liji to step down to ascend to the throne of the chief minister. He looked at Huang Liji with a panic expression and said, "Yuanfu, what is the emperor going to do?"
Like Huang Liji, Feng Quan is both a member of the eunuch party. His relationship with the Wei Duke's Mansion is unpredictable. If those people recruited something, maybe Feng Quan would be in the imperial prison tomorrow!
Huang Liji looked plain and said, "If you sit in the position of chief minister, don't worry so much."
Feng Quan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yuan Fu was joking."
Huang Liji had no expression on his thin face, so he picked up the teacup and drank tea.
In fact, he was telling the truth. If Feng Quan was the prime minister, he would not be worried.
There are only three people in the cabinet now, Huang Liji, Feng Quan and Li Guopu. As the chief assistant, Huang Liji's status is as stable as Mount Tai. As soon as Feng Quan could not replace him, because Feng Quan was a hard-core eunuch party, full of stains and dissatisfied with the public. Li Guopu has only been in the cabinet for only a month, let alone prestige, and has no ability to handle cabinet affairs.
Among the six ministries, there is no qualified to replace Huang Liji. As for those big bosses of Donglin who retired, Ye Xianggao, Han Xuan and others, they were still unable to enter the officialdom until the "Donglin Rebellion Case" was reversed.
In short, Huang Liji is the only one who can command the court now.
If Huang Liji suddenly falls, the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty will come to a halt and be in chaos.
Therefore, Huang Liji's status is as stable as Mount Tai. No matter what the new emperor thinks, he must rely on him!
Feng Quan did not think through this layer. Looking at Huang Liji's plain expression, he was anxious and smiled more and more: "Yuan Fu, the Wei Duke's Mansion has been seized now. If those people call for anything, you and I will not have a good end. I still have to find a way..."
Huang Liji had no good feelings for this colleague who was eyeing his position, and had no thoughts on the purpose of his visit this time, and the countermeasures he took were to ignore.
Feng Quan did not get what he wanted from Huang Liji and left reluctantly.
Even cabinet ministers like Feng Quan were anxious, let alone others.
A hard-core eunuch party like Zhou Yingqiu, Wu Chunfu, and Sun Yuanhe was even more unbearable, as if he had lost his parents.
Choi Chengxiu's Mansion.
Cui Chengxiu had already learned that Zhou Qingli was the presiding of the "Wei Zhongxian case", and her expression became gloomy and obscure.
He Qitu stood opposite him, and He Qitu had a solemn look on his face.
Zhou Qingli is the father of Zhou Zheng. Will he take the opportunity to retaliate against Choi Chengxiu? Even if he does not retaliate, Choi Chengxiu will not be able to escape the French Open in the "fair" investigation.
If it was Huang Liji, they could deal with each other without any worries. What should Zhou Qingli do? And will his son Zhou Zheng interfere?
Choi Chengxiu's face was tense as tight as iron. He was not so nervous and panicked when Choi Chengli's killer was captured by Zhou Zheng.
If you want to be afraid, He Qitu is even more afraid. He looked at Cui Chengxiu and whispered: "Sir, there is still room for recovery."
Choi Chengxiu glanced at him expressionlessly, her eyes dull.
There is no way to recover? What He Qitu saw was Zhou Qingli being responsible for investigating the "Wei Zhongxian case". What he saw was the new emperor's extreme anger towards Wei Zhongxian. This anger would continue to burn, burning on the eunuch party.
And he had exposed too much before that he would not have any vitality unless the new emperor's attitude changed.
This has nothing to do with Zhou Qingli and Zhou Zheng. This is thunder from the sky, and no one can stop it!
He Qitu looked at Cui Chengxiu's expression and felt cold and said nervously: "Sir, Zhou Zheng just wants money. Let's give it to him. As long as he has overcome this disaster, he will still be the pillar of the court. Sooner or later, the emperor will summon the lord to return to the capital..."
Returning to Beijing? It’s difficult to leave Kyoto this time.
Cui Chengxiu's ups and downs in the officialdom, and she saw it very thoroughly. She felt desperate, but there seemed to be a hint of hope on her face. She nodded slightly and smiled: "Well, you go find the second child and ask him to find Zhou Zheng. He should know the importance."
He Qitu also had a glimmer of hope in his heart and hurriedly said, "Yes, I'll go find the second master now."
He Qitu said, and left in a hurry.
In Jufu Building.
Yang Huzhi's zombie's face had no expression. He had no intention of making tea. He leaned on the chair with deep eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
Young Master Yang sat opposite him, with a panic expression and said tremblingly: "Uncle San, the Wei family has been confiscated, Ke Guangxian, Hou Guoxing and others have been arrested and imprisoned. If they recruit anything, our Yang family will be finished..."
Yang Huzhi looked up at him and said, "You have been walking around recently and asked about a lot of things. What do you want to do?"
Young Master Yang's eyes changed slightly, and he forced himself to say, "I just want to do some business and prepare in advance."
"It's this time, do you still want to do business?" Yang Huzhi's tone was indifferent, and he couldn't hear any meaning.
