Chapter 22 Impeachment

Just as Zhu Cijiu was immersed in the gentle village, the entire capital began to surging undercurrents again. Sun Chengzong did not deliberately conceal the matter of Shenji Camp entering the capital. Only then did the eunuch party's troops barely surpass the Jinyiwei in Luo Yangxing's hands. Sun Chengzong made such a move, which clearly warned the eunuch party group. As for whether there was any other meaning, I don't know.

After learning the news, Wei Zhongxian couldn't sit still and quickly called all the core members of the eunuch party to the secret room of the Dongchang Yamen, and closed the door to discuss countermeasures.

After the little emperor ascended the throne, he had no intention of dealing with them. Sun Chengzong did not lead the Donglin Party to pounce on him in a fierce manner. Only Luo Yangxing used the order of the emperor to occupy the guards of the imperial city, and there was no other action against them. In order to appease them, the little emperor even gave them all no matter what officials they appointed and removed. Now the power of the eunuch party is stronger than when he was the emperor.

Wei Zhongxian thought that his nine thousand years old could still be stable, and the little emperor did not dare to do anything to him. Unexpectedly, Sun Chengzong suddenly came out like this. It was really intolerable. After a group of confidants sat down, he said angrily: "The old dog Sun Chengzong suddenly transferred the Shenji Camp into the imperial city. What exactly did he want to do?"

Everyone saw his expression and did not dare to answer. He was obviously angry. Who dared to touch this brow? The scene fell into a strange silence.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't bear it, so he said fiercely: "If you can't do it, just rush into the palace, arrest the little emperor, and then kill all the people of Sun Chengzong and Cao Huachun, so that the court will be full of our people. Ergeng, what do you think?"

Isn’t this a rebellion? The people present were frightened and their faces changed. Tian Ergeng was even more frightened and sweated. He replied tremblingly: “Master Qiansui, they have more people than us, and they occupy a favorable position in the imperial city. We have little chance of winning!”

Wei Zhongxian saw his bear-like appearance and shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of? They have so many city gates to guard. It would be nice to have 1,000 people in each city gate. Are more than 20,000 of us still unable to rush in to one city gate?"

Tian Ergeng was scared by his roar and couldn't even say anything. Cui Chengxiu, who was standing beside him, quickly persuaded: "Stop the anger of Qiansui, isn't this a formal discussion? We always have to think of a complete plan before we can take action."

Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed his anger, glanced around, and finally stared at Zhou Yingqiu and asked, "Yingqiu, what do you think?"

Zhou Yingqiu bowed slowly and said: "I haven't figured out what Sun Chengzong means yet. We should not act rashly. It's better to test it first. If Sun Chengzong really wants to be unfavorable to us, then I have to say that I can only try it."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Test? How to test it?"

Zhou Yingqiu explained: "I asked someone to write a letter to impeach us. Lord Cui's Minister of War was removed. Then I will impeach Lord Cui first, and then I will impeach you Qiansui Ye. If Sun Chengzong didn't respond to the memorial, that would be fine. If he dared to make things difficult for us, then we would have to rebel."

Wei Zhongxian thought about it carefully and couldn't help but raise his thumbs up and praise him: "Miscellaneous plan, it's just a trick. Let them write a letter to impeach us first. We are secretly guarding us. Sun Chengzong wants to dare to take action, and Guan Bao told him to take care of it."

So a strange scene appeared. Yang Suxiu, Yang Weihuan and others wrote letters to the former Minister of War Cui Chengxiu, saying that he embezzled military pay. Then the inspector Lu Chengyuan, Qian Yuanke and Yuanwailang Shi Gongsheng wrote letters to impeach Wei Zhongxian, saying that he was nepotism.

Why is this strange thing? It’s not that the content of the impeachment they wrote in the letter was weird. What they said was normal and real. The weird thing is that these people are obviously from the eunuch party, and they are all small minions. Their own people impeach their own people, and their minions are pilling their head coach. What is the reason?

King Xin Zhu Youjian was stunned when he saw these memorials. He looked at Sun Chengzong who was beside him in confusion, not understanding why he had no reaction at all.

Sun Chengzong did not explain immediately, but asked the eunuch on duty outside to invite the emperor to come and then make a decision.

When Zhu Cijiu appeared in the imperial study room in Mingyue's arms, everyone shook their heads helplessly. The little emperor was getting younger and younger. He had insisted on walking by himself. When Qin Mingyue came, he seemed to have forgotten how to walk. Of course, this little thing was harmless. There were people who were seven or eight years old and still stayed in their parents' arms, not to mention that the little emperor was only over five years old, which was normal.

Zhu Youjian was curious about these memorials. When he saw Zhu Cijiu coming in, he couldn't wait to say: "I have reported to the emperor. In the past two days, many eunuch party censors have written letters to impeach Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu. What should I do? Please decide."

Zhu Cijing couldn't help but ask curiously: "Oh, the eunuch party censor impeached Wei Zhongxian and Choi Chengxiu. Are they fighting in the nest?"

Zhu Youjian did not answer, but looked at Sun Chengzong. He knew that this was definitely not a fight, but he couldn't understand what it meant.

Sun Chengzong shook his head and said contemptuously: "They are not fighting in the nest. Just those little guys are not qualified to fight with Wei Zhongxian. If they really fight in the nest, these memorials will not be passed on to us at all, and they will have been intercepted by Wei Zhongxian. They are testing us to see if we want to deal with their ideas."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Cijing suddenly realized: "So that's what it means, why don't we go with the flow and do them directly?"

Sun Chengzong shook his head again and said, "Now they must be very careful. If we take action, the capital will be in chaos. When this impeachment wind passes, they will definitely relax their vigilance. Then we will be much more relaxed."

Zhu Cijing nodded after hearing this, saying, "What the Grand Tutor said makes sense. Keep these memorials first and take them out when you start."

However, Sun Chengzong shook his head and said, "You can't keep it. If we don't call these memorials back, they will not relax their vigilance. It is best to make a review of no evidence and call them back."

Zhu Cijiong said with some regret: "Oh, what a good excuse, but I can't do it."

Sun Chengzong said indifferently: "They impeached small matters that are nothing. I have something better. Eunuch Cao, please give it to the emperor."

After saying that, he took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to Cao Huachun on the side.

Cao Huachun took the memorial, looked at it for a moment, and then started to recite it aloud:

Student Jiaxing tribute student Qian Jiazheng cried and said to him:

The traitor Wei Zhongxian deceived the heaven and earth, and was a minister without any reason. He was guilty of being a traitor, and the crime was so great that the bamboo was hard to write.

Now I will briefly count the ten major sins, please ask the emperor to judge:

One of his crimes: he proclaims himself 9,900 years old and attempts to be called together with the emperor;

The second crime: despise the emperor (the queen) and falsely accusing the father-in-law of the country;

The third crime: disguising military power, resulting in the loss of Liaodong;

The fourth crime: arrogant and arrogant, with no eyes on Taizu, Chengzu;

The fifth crime: withholding the rewards of the vassal kings and giving them a full gift;

The sixth crime: instigating the party members to build a temple in a wide range, trying to be as famous as the saints;

The seventh crime: the grand title of relatives and the excessive reward of titles and rewards;

The eighth crime: cover up border merits, causing the soldiers of the border army to become centrifuged;

Nine of the crime: wanton exploitation, resulting in the people's life being in vain;

The tenth crime: forming cliques for personal gain and making mistakes in plotting.

Good guy, this memorial is indeed much better than the ones sent by the eunuch minions. Every piece is a serious crime to kill the nine clans. Wei Zhongxian has become the number one treacherous minister in the ages!
