Wan'an looked at the first memorial. It was a joint remonstrance, in which all the officials who impeached him were recorded. There were members of his own group, cabinet ministers Liu Ji, Yin Zhi, and ministers from various ministries. Wan'an looked at it.

Those familiar names made my hands gradually tremble.

Unexpectedly, the last joint remonstrance was for the emperor. This time, the joint remonstrance was to impeach him. Last time, Xu Pu spoke for Zhu Youtang. This time, everyone in the court impeached him. Ha, that’s all, that’s probably it.

When the wall falls down, everyone pushes it; when the drum is broken, thousands of people beat it.

Zhu Youtang closed the book "The Biography of Ten Traitors" and said coldly: "Inner... Cabinet... Chief... Assistant... Wan'an, how many years have you been in the Cabinet?" Zhu Youtang said "Cabinet Chief Assistant Wan'an" word by word.

Read clearly."

Wan An lowered his head and replied: "It has been ten years since I replied to Your Majesty."

"Then have you made any contribution to the imperial court in the past ten years?"

Wan An thought for a while and began to list his contributions. In the middle of his words, he was interrupted by Zhu Youtang.

"I'm afraid what you said has nothing to do with you, right? One of you is right. You advised the late emperor to abolish the West Factory. This is your credit. I will not deny you. But for ten years, you have colluded with the demon Li Zisheng and the demon monk Jixiao.

Is there any such thing as offering demonic magic to the late emperor to harm the inner palace? Zhu Youtang asked sternly.

Zhu Youtang originally did not want to throw the little yellow book to Wan An, but said something else, hoping that he would give up and resign himself. Unexpectedly, our chief minister of the cabinet showed no fear at all.

Fight based on reason.

"Return to Your Majesty, Minister Li Zi does not admit that he colluded with the monster. As the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Li Zi is an important official in the court. He usually interacts with ministers on political matters. Moreover, I am afraid that Li Zi is not the only one who interacts with him.

I am alone, right? As for the demon monk Jixiao, it is even more groundless. I wonder if Your Majesty listened to that gossip. Everyone knows that I believe in Taoism, so how can I have an intimate relationship with a monk? There are also demons.

The technique of extracting yin and replenishing yang was originally used by me alone. It was the late emperor who heard about it before he allowed me to enter the palace. How dare I not listen to the late emperor’s words?"

On the side, He Ding and Huaien saw that Wan An not only had no intention of repenting but was talking eloquently in front of Zhu Youtang, they had no choice but to give praise to this thick-skinned chief minister.

Seeing that Wan An dared to talk back, Zhu Youtang became furious. He took out the little pornographic book from his sleeve and threw it on Wan An's face and cursed: "Look what this is? Bastard!"

When Wan An saw Zhu Youtang Long Yan was furious, he felt that he had spoken a little too hastily, so he quickly shut up. Looking at the beautifully packaged picture book on the ground, Wan An's face instantly started to get hot. This picture book was exactly

He spent all his efforts to have it painted, but he didn't expect that it was still there, and it was still in Zhu Youtang's hands.

Wan An hurriedly kowtowed and muttered: "I have a mouth, but I regret it."

It would be great if Wan An directly submitted his resignation to Zhu Youtang, so that both parties would have a chance to step down. Unexpectedly, Wan An was very shameless and had to ask Zhu Youtang to take out this little pornographic book. Zhu Youtang didn't want to give it to him at first.

Wan An looked at it, and now that he was forced to take it out, he felt even more angry.

"You bastard, you have all the books here, are you still making excuses? I've really given you a good look. Do you think I'm as easy to trick as the late emperor? Or are you too comfortable being the chief minister and don't care about me as the emperor?

Now, do you want to change your identity?"

When Wan An heard the meaning of Zhu Youtang's words, didn't he label himself as "rebellious"?

"I am guilty, I repent!"

Zhu Youtang had no choice, he had scolded him like this. Others would have been embarrassed and thought he had resigned, but Wan An still kept silent and relied on his face to hold on.

Wynn couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't bear it anymore. He stepped forward and pulled off Wan'an's tooth tag, which was the pass for entering the palace. He also gave a piece of advice: "Master Wan, get out of here. If you stay here for a while, you will lose more than just... It’s a shame.”

When Wan An saw this, he didn't know what to say. He knew that he had been in the government for ten years, and today it was completely over, and the chief minister of the cabinet was about to be replaced.

Wan An entered the palace to tug at the hearts of all the ministers in the court. After all, they had all submitted impeachment memoranda. If His Majesty did not adopt their opinions and reinstate Official Wan An, they would have offended the chief minister of the cabinet.

The news of Wan An's dismissal soon spread, and within a few days, the number of people in the Qianqing Palace began to increase, and most of them resigned and went home.

Zhu Youtang naturally knows that in the hearts of these people, Xiao Jiujiu is just retreating in order to advance. They are all mediocre people anyway. Since you want to resign, I will agree to it.

The most important part of the resignation memorial was that of Yin Zhi, the deputy minister of the cabinet. The notebook handed to Zhu Youtang included the impeachment of Wan An and the impeachment of Yin Zhi, but the weight of the two impeachments was completely different. The notes for the impeachment of Yin Zhi were both. It was some trivial matter. Yin Zhi proposed to resign, which really surprised Zhu Youtang.

Yin Zhi is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, a bachelor of Hanlin University, and the second assistant in the cabinet. His official position is high and he has a certain prestige among the officials. If he allowed Yin Zhi to resign, there would be continuous criticism in the court.

However, the current imperial court is dominated by a group headed by Wan An. If he wants to completely reorganize the imperial court, he must overthrow this group and reintroduce a group of capable people.

Yin Zhi is different from Wan An's incompetence, he still has some abilities. Since Yin Zhi wants to resign, it's OK. He also had a role in the Li Zisheng case, and allowing him to go home is a change of law to protect him.

Yin Zhi began to pack his bags at home, and many people in the court came to persuade him.

"Brother Zhengyan, why are you doing this? After Wan'an fell, you might have been replaced as the first assistant. You resigning and going home now will be a loss to the Ming Dynasty!"

Yin Zhi looked at Peng Hua who came to persuade him and shook his head and said: "I am old and unable to do what I do. How can I take on this position of chief assistant? I'd better go home to farm and support myself in my old age!"

In fact, why doesn't Yin Zhi want to stay? Why don't he want to be the chief minister of the cabinet? But now that he has submitted his resignation, how can he regret it at will? What he is waiting for now is not a friend from the DPRK and China like Peng Hua to persuade him to stay. He is now What he is waiting for is Zhu Youtang's persuasion to stay, so that he can have the dignity to stay and be qualified to compete for the position of chief minister of the cabinet!

Throughout the day, many courtiers came to persuade Yin Zhi to stay, but he declined them all. In his heart, he was waiting for Emperor Zhu Youtang. Could it be that His Majesty was busy with government affairs and forgot?

Yin Zhi packed his bags for a whole day and started to set out in the evening. He took two steps forward and took one step back. At this time, Yin Zhi felt very regretful. He had known that he would not give up his resignation.

Just as Yin Zhi and his family were about to step out of Yongding Gate, a distant voice came.

"Master Yin, stay!"

Yin Zhi saw that it was He Ding who had arrived. Sure enough, His Majesty had not forgotten him.

"Eunuch He, please come back. I'm old and want to retire and go home to take care of myself."

"Master Yin has overthought it. His Majesty has approved your resignation letter."

"Ah? Yin Zhi is a little embarrassed. Zhu Youtang actually agreed to let him go home?

Isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot? Yin Zhi looked at the majestic Forbidden City and sighed: "Forget it, just go home. It's enough for you to be the second minister of the cabinet in this career!"

Yin Zhi picked up the baggage and said to the family: "Let's go home!"

He Ding approached Yin Zhi and stuffed a note, then flew back.

The note said: "Don't worry, please go home and have a good rest. I will definitely give you an important position and resume it in the future."
