Chapter 12 tit for tat

Zhou Jianzong contacted dozens of court officials, but this naturally could not be hidden from Wei Zhongxian, who had already gained strength.

At this moment, a large number of people were gathered in the inner ranks. There were minions of the ranks of Li Yongzhen, Wang Tigan and other minions, Ni Wenhuan, Tian Ji and other censors, and Gu Bingqian, the Minister of Rites, and Gu Bingqian, the Minister of Rites!

These people are almost all the forces of Wei Zhongxian at this moment. Each of them is extremely angry and scrambles to win the lead and then shouts with Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian's face was ferocious and terrifying. Several cups had broken on the ground, and he was still panting and furious.

"Father-in-law, the Qingliu party wants to kill us all this time, and we must not sit still and wait for death!"

"Yes, we can also write a memorial to form a clique and make a private decision, and make a mistake in their plans!"

"Father-in-law, this matter must not be easily stopped. You must distinguish it clearly in front of the emperor!"

"Yes, send someone to ask your wife to return to Beijing as soon as possible, so that these rotten scholars will not allow them to mislead the country and the people!"

Wei Zhongxian was born in a humble family and could not read a big word. He was upset at this moment and felt that the intuition was coming. He couldn't help but look at the one with the highest education among them, the Minister of Rites and Gu Bingqian.

Gu Bingqian was born as a Jinshi, and now there are many cabinet masters who have retired. With the help of Wei Zhongxian and Keshi, he has the highest call for entering the cabinet. Moreover, according to history, he will enter the cabinet in the second half of this year and become the chief minister of the cabinet the year afterwards!

In fact, Gu Bingqian did not look down on Wei Zhongxian very much, but this person was smart and favored by the emperor. In addition, there was also a wife who was the Minister of Rites, even if he was the Minister of Rites, he could not be criticized. Moreover, if he wanted to realize his lifelong wish to enter the cabinet, he would have to help him!

Because he is not the Donglin Party, nor the Zhejiang Party, the Soviet Party or the Jin Party!

He glanced at everyone, coughed, and said, "This time the Censorate collectively reported that you must not meet face to face, otherwise we will definitely lose, and we must not act indifferently, otherwise we will do what they wish."

"What kind of way do you have to say, show off!" Liu Chao said coldly as soon as he heard this. He was like Wei Zhongxian, who had never studied books, and he annoyed these scholars the most, and he seemed to be one step ahead of them.

Gu Bingqian's eyes flashed with anger, and he looked at Wei Zhongxian bowing slightly, saying, "Father-in-law, urgently summoning his wife back to Jingyuanshui cannot save the fire. Now we can only write a letter to defend, and we cannot be too angry. In addition, you will bring your colleagues from the Silijian to present to the emperor!"

The so-called face-to-face presentation is to cry. The more terrifying inner ministers than external ministers is that they always have a way to see the emperor at any time.

This plan hit Wei Zhongxian's thoughts, and his biggest reliance was the emperor's trust. This joint impeachment from court officials made him extremely frightened. The first thing he thought of was to find Emperor Zhu Youxiao!

"Okay, Li Yongzhen, Wang Tigan will call other Silijians and other prisons. When their memorials arrive at the imperial study room, we will go to see the emperor together!" Wei Zhongxian stood up suddenly, his expression suddenly returned to calm, and then looked at Gu Bingqian and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Gu wrote a memorial for us and sent it to the cabinet."

"I have no choice but to do so." Gu Bingqian stood up and said in a deep voice.

Due to Zhu Xu's disturbance, the two sides, who were already fierce in confrontation, were now fighting to the death!

After discussing with Da Cao and Xiao Cao, Zhu Xu sat on the recliner, sucked it, and said in a whisper, "It's a pity that if there were Huan'er's pastry, it would be perfect at this time. It's all the blame for the Emperor's sister-in-law, who is so stingy."

Both Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao were speechless. They dared to be so vain that they were not the Queen. It was probably only one of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhu Xu with a comfortable and comfortable face and thoughtfully said, "Your Highness, are we really letting it go so far?"

"Well, I won't care for the time being." Zhu Xu swallowed a pastry casually and shook his head slightly. He was still far inferior to Huaner's skills.

Although Cao Huachun was not clear about Zhu Xu's intention, he vaguely understood that His Highness Hui was supporting Qingliu or the Donglin Party. He thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, what should I do if the emperor issued an order and took Lord Zhou and others?"

Zhu Xu smiled slightly. Cao Huachun's concerns were very reasonable, because there were already many first lists. Moreover, according to history, Zhou Jianzong's second impeachment of Wei Zhongxian was that he was sent to the Pacification Department and tortured, demanding to hand over evidence of party privacy and party members, and eventually died in prison.

The first failure of Zhou Jianzong's impeachment directly made Wei Zhongxian see the weakness of the Qingliu people, which was that he was arrogant and did not know how to adapt. He blindly wrote letters to contact all the civil and military officials of the court to force the emperor, but in fact he was strong outside and had no real power.

This was also the beginning of Wei Zhongxian's abuse of power and chaos in politics. From then on, he was called Duke Wei and Enjoy the Temple of Shengsheng, which was unparalleled in the country!

'But, you are going to make the wrong abacus this time.' Zhu Xu smiled and said to himself.

The Jinyiwei is now in Luo Yangxing's hands. Wei Zhongxian and Keshi's minions were sent out by Luo Sigong in various names. Luo Yangxing himself went to Guang/Xi and could not come back for less than half a year. But now Wei Zhongxian has not yet been in charge of the Dongchang. The most important thing is that there is no prison in the East Factory, and all the prisoners will be sent to the Jinyiwei's custody of the Jinyiwei. Without the help of the Jinyiwei, it is difficult for Wei Zhongxian to see people, let alone torture and confession.

In this way, a relatively fair showdown will be formed, and the Donglin Party will face the eunuch party. The Donglin Party is powerful, regardless of whether it is above or below, and the eunuch party has the violent organization of Dongchang, and the final victory or defeat lies in the hands of Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

But without evidence of guilt, the emperor could not do anything to so many ministers.

In other words, even if Zhu Xu does not follow up, Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party will inevitably suffer a major blow this time! This blow is difficult to make Wei Zhongxian or the eunuch party hurt, but psychologically, Wei Zhongxian will realize the strength of Qingliu and dare not be too presumptuous.

"By the way," Zhu Xu thought for a while, and suddenly said to Cao Wenzhao: "You ask the two sisters of the Wu family to see what kind of disease is the emperor's sister-in-law."

Although Zhu Xu speculated that Queen Zhang was pregnant, she had to confirm it before she could rest assured.

Cao Wenzhao immediately agreed and said, "I will ask someone to inform them later."

"Next, let's wait to watch the show." Zhu Xu stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a comfortable face.

Headed by the Censorate, dozens of court officials were contacted to impeach Wei Zhongxian. This was the first time since the Tianqi Dynasty, which naturally alarmed all parties. Immediately afterwards, news came out of the Sili Supervisor that the eunuch party was also preparing to impeach Zhou Jianzong, and even listed dozens of people as party members, intending to fight against Qingliu.

This time, not only were both sides ready to fight and put each other to death, but even the court officials watching were worried.

The Ming Dynasty, the most intense party struggle has begun since the Tianqi Dynasty.
