A few days before the New Year, when all the yamen were about to seal their seals and go on long holidays, in the middle hall of Huang Liji's yamen, officials from all walks of life gathered together.

There were the governor of Jiliao and the governor of Liaodong who came to Beijing to report on their duties, as well as Yuan Keli, who had just been appointed as the governor of Liaodong and governor of Denglai. They all came to Huang Liji's side. Everyone's faces were not good-looking. Look at them.

Me, let me look at you.

Huang Liji, a senior scholar from the First Academy of Sciences, was sitting on the chair at the top, drinking a bowl of hot tea without raising his head and not moving at all.

The voices of several high-ranking officials below gradually became louder.

"...600,000 yuan in salary, enough armor and equipment for 30,000 people, and 2,000 high-quality muskets, were given directly to Mao Wenlong, bypassing the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War and the Supervisors and Ministers? How much money does this require?

What do the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, and the Superintendent do? What do we, the cabinet ministers, do?"

"Isn't that right? The imperial court set up governors, managers, and governors to control the military, in order to control military force with civility. But now that the border generals are becoming more powerful and domineering, the only way that the commander-in-chief can restrain the border generals is food and salary.

Military resources? If the commander-in-chief of the cabinet is bypassed and given directly to the border generals, how can the commander-in-chief supervise the division?"

"It's just a matter of setting up an army of 10,000 or 20,000 people in front of the tent. Anyway, the imperial village and the garden are divided. But Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town has always been under our control, how can it be returned to the inner court?"

"Yeah, isn't this a mess? How will the Liaodong frontline be commanded and dispatched in the future? Who can command and control Mao Wenlong?"

"That's not okay. We have to stop this matter today, otherwise we won't be able to be an official in the future!"

"That's right, the rules can't be so bad! Without rules, what's the point?"

Hearing the discussion, Huang Liji suddenly snorted coldly, slammed the tea bowl in his hand, and slowly raised his head: "What nonsense are you talking about? Can we stop Wei Zhongxian? Wei Zhongxian is worth nine thousand nine hundred

When he was 99 years old, who among us dared to stop him? Who could stop him? So many officials below even built a shrine for him... Can such a powerful 9900-year-old man be able to stop him today? Feng Boheng

, your enemy Cui Chengxiu is still being detained in Xiyuan!"

Feng Quan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was the loudest in the discussion just now. People who didn’t know it thought his bones were so hard!

But Huang Liji knew his details too well. He was impeached and convicted because his father, Feng Shengming, the governor of Henan Province, left his post without permission. He wrote a letter to express his displeasure for his father, and was also deprived of his official post of review by the Hanlin Academy.

Go home and eat old rice.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian went to Feng Quan's hometown of Zhuozhou to offer incense. Feng Quan, regardless of his dignity as a scholar-bureaucrat, knelt down by the roadside and cried to Wei Zhongxian. Only then did he get the opportunity to be Wei Zhongxian's dog!

After becoming Wei Zhongxian's lackey, he contributed a lot in the fight against Donglin Zhengchen, and helped Wei Zhongxian fight to death Donglin boss Yang Lian, so he was highly regarded. At the age of thirty, he was promoted to the cabinet by Wei Zhongxian.

Chen and Hubu Shangshu were known as the "black-headed ministers".

Later, under the instruction of Wei Zhongxian, he, together with Gu Bingqian and Huang Liji, served as the chief executive of "Three Dynasties Essential Code" - this "Three Dynasty Essential Code" is not simple. It is a book based on the calendar, Taichang and Apocalypse.

The archives of the three major cases and the official history collection combined with the case sentences. Many big bosses of the Donglin Party were named as the chief culprits of the three major cases of assault, red pill and transfer to the palace.

It can be said that as long as the "Three Dynasties Essential Code" is not overturned, the Donglin Party will always have a sharp knife hanging over its head!

Therefore, after Zhu Youjian killed Wei Zhongxian, the calls for destroying the "Three Dynasties Essentials" became louder and louder. But Zhu Youjian had his own opinion - no matter how the people below shouted, he would not move "Three Dynasties Essentials"

Code". Neither Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Hui Shiyang, Zhou Chaorui, Gao Panlong and others were rehabilitated.

And Feng Quan, a villain of the eunuch party, was also the chief executive of the "Three Dynasties Yaodian" and was restored to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue after the fall of Wei Zhongxian - there was also a struggle within the eunuch party! It was caused by Feng Quan and Cui Chengxiu competing for each other's favor.

There was internal fighting, so Feng Quan's positions as Minister of Household Affairs and University Non-commissioned Officer were already demolished before Wei Zhongxian's downfall.

After Wei Zhongxian's fall, Zhu Youjian deliberately regarded Feng Quan as a good person who opposed Wei Zhongxian's treason and reinstated him as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue... and Cui Chengxiu did not have the "Three Dynasties Essential Code" to protect him.

When Wei Zhongxian fell, he happened to be the Minister of War, so he is still locked up in Xiyuan with 69 other traitors who rebelled against the party. If Feng Quan didn't know his identity and was bitten by 70 mad dogs, his crimes would be unparalleled.

Even bigger.

Huang Liji didn't show any respect to Feng Quan as soon as he opened his mouth. Feng Quan was stunned and could only look down at his head with a gray look. Huang Liji still felt that it was not enough and continued to slap the table: "Who made the rules? We made them.

Really? The rules are set by the Holy One! Let me tell you something again. When I went to the Wenhua Hall to meet the Holy One yesterday afternoon, the Holy One said... Jinyiwei North Town Fusi has been reorganized, and after the New Year

It’s time to resume work, and then the traitors will be tracked down!”

Huang Liji yelled at him, and most of the officials in the central hall did not dare to speak. They all more or less relied on Wei Zhongxian and labeled them all as rebels. Maybe some of them slipped through the net. If we want to arrest half of them,

If the imperial edict is locked up, a lot of people will definitely slip through the net.

Sun Chengzong was definitely not a rebel against the party, so when he saw a group of officials who were keeping silent, he felt very angry... You are all eunuchs! It is not necessarily true whether you are a rebel against the party, but you are definitely an eunuch!

Why is the emperor so confused? Why don't all of you eunuchs be wiped out? I am bombarded every day, and I write abusive articles so fast, why haven't I joined any eunuchs?

Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong also slammed the table: "It's better to track down the eunuchs! We must investigate them carefully and get rid of all the eunuchs, and give me a bright future for the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as his words came out, he immediately attracted dozens of hateful looks... because he didn't say "rebellion against the party", but directly said "eunuch". This nature is different! Fawning over Wei Zhongxian or someone else

Anyone who climbs up the ladder can be considered an eunuch. It’s not a big deal. To be an official, you have to curry favor with powerful ministers as well as eunuchs. Those who don’t curry favor with anyone will generally have to be officials until death. So Zhu Youjian

Everyone understands that eunuchs will not be punished.

But the nature of being a rebel is different!

To follow Wei Zhongxian in rebellion is to rebel against the party!

The rebels who have now been confirmed are the Hakkas who were stabbed, Wei Zhongxian’s nephews and grandnephews, Hakka’s younger brother Ke Guangxian, and his son Hou Guoxing. There were also several others who were in Xian’an Palace together with Wei Zhongxian and the Hakkas.

The Da Ju who were captured basically belonged to Wei Zhongxian's core party members, and their number together was only twenty or thirty. Most of these people are still alive and under the custody of Dongchang.

The five tigers, five cubs, ten dogs, ten children, and forty grandchildren who were captured and taken to Xiyuan are still only suspected of rebelling against the party, and have not been finally convicted and executed.

The above people are not a threat to the Donglin Party, but to the Eunuch Party, they are a life-threatening existence at any time! If coupled with the impeachment of Sun Chengzong, the censor of Zuodu...it would be a waste to reduce his status to the people.

It's such a small thing, it might cost you your life.

Sun Chengzong must feel that he has let slip at this time... Impeachment is necessary, but he cannot say it in front of a room full of eunuchs and traitorous officials!

This is so hated!

Wang Zhichen, the governor of Jiliao who came back from the Liaodong Army, looked at Sun Chengzong with a bit of complaint, and then started to smooth things over, "The top priority now is how to deal with the Hulu! News from the grassland said that Chahan (Chahar)

Two of the eight Otuok tribes have defected to Donglu. After Hutu Dun Khan (Lin Dan Khan) led most of the troops to move westward, the tribesmen who stayed in the Liaohe Hetao and stationed in the Han tribe could not last long.

.By next spring at the latest, the Donglu will be able to capture the entire Liaohe River! In addition, the purpose of the Han tribe's westward movement is to annex the territory of King Shunyi... King Shunyi is the canonized king of Ming Dynasty.
Chapter completed!
