Chapter 79 You are Li Huan's comrade! 【Seeking further reading】
Luo Wenxiang's impeachment was like the beginning. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen officials walked out, including the censor of the Supervisory Council and the six officials who spoke to the matter. They all said in a dark voice: "I will impeach Li Li."
Huan Zhuang cultivated an eunuch with the intention of treason, so please Your Majesty, please hand him over to the Tribunal for trial and execute him in a hurry to serve as a warning to others!"
Zhu Houzhao sat there and did not speak. Instead, he looked at the officials who stood up to impeach Li Huan with great interest. He thought to himself: "It's a waste of time that you have been preparing for so long to accuse Li Qing's family. You are going to be listed on the list anyway."
Come up with twenty crimes and the ten most deadly crimes!"
Zhu Houzhao showed a bit of disappointment on his face, thinking that these people were going to label Li Huan.
In vain, he was prepared and ready to have a good fight with these people, but in the end, he told him these things, with his usual eloquence and high fighting power of quoting scriptures when criticizing him as the emperor!
Gu Dayong noticed Zhu Houzhao's look and couldn't help but whispered: "Your Majesty, it's not these censors who are not good at speaking and speaking. It's really that they can't catch brother Li Huan at all. What a crime!"
The corner of Zhu Houzhao's mouth curled up slightly, just as Gu Dayong said, if these people can find out some of Li Huan's crimes, they will definitely expand it ten times, and then plant various crimes on Li Huan.
In the end, after preparing for so long, they only caught the so-called eunuchs who occupied private houses, but the charges were not enough. With the number of people, as long as they impeached enough people, they could still build a momentum.
And it's not just the Inspectorate. During the Sixth Section's investigation, Zhu Houzhao saw more than a dozen officials standing up one after another. The higher one had three grades, the lower ones had six and seven grades. Anyway, it was a dark place, and they all unanimously impeached Li
Huan, the momentum is indeed not small.
If you are not mentally prepared, the momentum created by so many people may really allow them to succeed.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at these officials indifferently, and turned his attention to Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian, several cabinet bachelors.
These few officials can be said to be the leaders of the civil and military affairs. For something like this involving dozens of officials impeaching one person, even a fool would not believe it if they did not know the inside story in advance.
Without prior approval from the cabinet, it can even be said that without the cabinet's nod, Luo Wenxiang and others would not have been able to get so many officials to act together at once.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao looked at the several pavilion elders, who all lowered their eyebrows, as if they had not seen such a big movement.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. What did this mean? Didn't he tell him clearly that they would not care about the current situation and wanted him, the emperor, to bear the pressure of hundreds of officials.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao directly named him and said: "Thank you Aiqing, please tell me how to handle the matter of Luo Yushi and other Aiqing impeaching Li Huan, the governor of Jinyiwei."
Originally, several ministers in the cabinet ignored the emperor's signal just now and made up their mind to embarrass the emperor. However, they did not expect that Zhu Houzhao would take the initiative to speak. Now, even if they wanted to sit back and watch the emperor's embarrassment, they could not do it so obviously.
Especially Xie Qian, who was named, had to take a step forward, bowed respectfully to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that since all the officials were so angry that they all impeached Li Huan, then Li Huan must have neglected his duties.
, please also ask for your Majesty’s Holy Judgment!”
Good guy, although Xie Qian did not directly say that Li Huan was guilty and how to deal with it, the meaning behind his words was to affirm the impeachment of the officials.
If Li Huan were tried by the three agencies according to the charges of impeachment by hundreds of officials, he would probably have to shed a layer of his skin even if he was not dead.
Zhu Houzhao was not surprised by Xie Qian's answer. The reaction of the officials clearly showed that the cabinet was behind it. It would be strange if Xie Qian had any objections.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the ministers in the cabinet, then at the supervisory censor, Liu Ke Shizhong, and many officials who were looking at him with an upright and awe-inspiring expression.
Suddenly all the anger in Zhu Houzhao's heart disappeared, and he said to Ma Yongcheng who was standing aside: "Ma Yongcheng, you are in charge of the East Factory and have the power to supervise the Jinyi Guards. Please tell me, are the charges impeached by Luo Aiqing and others true?
?”
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Ma Yongcheng. Ma Yongcheng stepped forward despite the gazes of these officials and said with great respect: "Your Majesty, according to the inspection of Dongchang, Jinyiwei Town Governor Li Huan has been in Beijing since
I rented a private house in Maoer Lane and recently ordered my subordinate Chen Yao to buy a small courtyard. Everything is well-documented and there was no forced purchase, sale or occupation of the private house."
Originally, this was imposed by Luo Wenxiang and others in order to accuse Li Huan, and they did not expect that this crime would do anything to Li Huan. The real crime was to cultivate eunuchs, and this was what could cost Li Huan his life.
Luo Wenxiang immediately said to Ma Yongcheng: "Eunuch Ma, let me ask you, Li Huan kept more than ten eunuchs in his house. It is impossible that Dongchang didn't know about it. Keeping eunuchs in private is tantamount to rebellion. Isn't this right?
What is the crime of treason?"
Speaking of this, Luo Wenxiang's face was full of pride. He was originally worried that he would not be able to control Li Huan. Unexpectedly, upon investigation, he found that Li Huan actually had more than a dozen little eunuchs. At that time, Luo Wenxiang couldn't help but laugh three times.
He thought it was a celebration and bluntly said that Li Huan was doomed this time.
All the officials and even the cabinet minister also looked at Ma Yongcheng. Even if the occupation of private houses was true, it would not hurt Li Huan. But raising an eunuch would really violate the royal taboo. If it was confirmed, it would be a crime.
Even those who have the emperor's favor and trust cannot escape death.
Because the eunuch was related to the royal family, as the emperor, he must maintain the dignity of the royal family. Even if he was unwilling, he must severely punish Li Huan to set an example.
Ma Yongcheng glanced at Luo Wenxiang lightly and said, "Luo Yushi must have made a mistake. How could Dongchang not know about the eighteen young eunuchs in Li Zhenfu's family? You have underestimated Dongchang too much."
Are you capable?"
Seeing Ma Yongcheng's calm look, for some reason Luo Wenxiang had an unpleasant feeling in his heart, and everyone in the cabinet looked at each other with a bit of disappointment. It was obvious that they might have made a miscalculation this time.
Luo Wenxiang said at a loss: "Then..."
Ma Yongcheng took a step forward and snorted coldly: "Those eighteen young eunuchs were originally sent to Li Zhenfu by our Dongchang. When did they become the eunuchs that Li Zhenfu kept privately? Or should we say Luo Yu
Shi doubts my Dongchang's ability, or doubts the old slave's loyalty to His Majesty?"
At this point, Ma Yongcheng's voice became a bit shriller. The officials impeached the Jinyiwei officials. No matter what, this was to a certain extent a slap in the face of him, the official of Dongchang Factory.
After all, one of the main purposes of the establishment of Dongchang was to supervise the Jinyiwei. It is strange that Ma Yongcheng does not have anger in his heart.
Luo Wenxiang couldn't help but panic, and he really felt guilty when he was asked to face the owner of Dongchang. However, since the Hongzhi period, both Dongchang and Jinyiwei have been overwhelmed by them.
Thinking that in the past they had dared to point at the Jinyiwei officials, and the Dongchang fans yelled and cursed, even the emperor dared to slander them, he suddenly became braver and said with a strange tone: "I'm sure it's the factory director, you and that Li Huan are colluding with each other, but they are comrades
…”
Ma Yongcheng was stunned after hearing Luo Wenxiang's words. He almost died of anger when he realized what he said. They all said that Dongchang was the best at confusing right and wrong and making things out of nothing. However, he didn't expect that the other party was stronger than them, so he opened his mouth and gave him a slap.
Party hat.
I turned out to be an accomplice in the rebellion!
Keep reading, brothers, and you will become the accomplices of fleas!
