The situation in Jinzhou was imminent, and the imperial army was about to go on an expedition. But at this moment, Wang Xinyi, the left minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly jumped out and wanted to impeach Liu Ruyi, the most powerful hardline general in the Ming Dynasty?
This, what exactly is this situation?
Wang Xinyi has been an official for many years and has worked hard step by step to achieve his current status. He is not a person without political acumen!
How could you be confused at this juncture?
Isn't this just a matter of making yourself uncomfortable?
Including Emperor Chongzhen, all the civil and military officials present had such a mystery in their hearts!
However, Wang Xinyi was calm and composed, not caring at all about the attitudes of the civil and military officials around him. He stood straight, lowered his head slightly, and waited quietly for Emperor Chongzhen to speak!
Three hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, by the time of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the era of dominance by eunuchs and civilian officials had long passed. On the contrary, the military commanders who had been forgotten by people gradually became stronger under the tide of the times!
However, perhaps due to inertial thinking, the officials in the court, and even Emperor Chongzhen himself, did not realize that the power of the general group was unstoppable!
On weekdays, Emperor Chongzhen was well aware of the struggles between the various factions of the civil servant group in the DPRK. However, in order to balance the conflicts between the factions and maintain the emperor's authority and control, most of the time, for their small tricks,
Emperor Chongzhen always turned a blind eye!
But what Emperor Chongzhen never expected was that Wang Xinyi, the number one 'thug' of the Donglin Party, would jump out at this moment!
"Wang Aiqing, my Ming Dynasty will not be punished for words! If you have anything to say, just say it!" Emperor Chongzhen's face was a little gloomy, and his tone was obviously unhappy!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Xinyi bowed deeply to Emperor Chongzhen, then stood up slowly, glanced at the ministers, and then raised his hands to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach General Zhendong, Shandong Chief Military Officer Liu
As one wishes!"
Emperor Chongzhen did not speak, with a calm expression on his face!
Wang Xinyi immediately cleared his throat and continued: "I have just received the news! Just last night, Liu Ruyi led his troops to drink heavily in the city! At the beginning of the day, he wanted to force out of the city at the east gate to guard the city's officers and soldiers.
According to the rules, it is not allowed! Liu Ruyi then went on a murderous rampage and killed more than fifty people who were guarding the city gate! I hope your majesty will make the decision for you and the east city guards!"
"What? There is such a thing?"
"This, Liu Ruyi is too arrogant, isn't he? Under the emperor's feet, he actually dares to use weapons rashly?"
"My dear, there's something good to watch now!"
In an instant, all the civil and military officials present were attracted by Wang Xinyi's words, and for a while, they were talking in low voices!
Emperor Chongzhen was also stunned, and his original sleepiness was instantly thrown out of the sky. He hurriedly asked Wang Xinyi: "Wang Aiqing, what you say is unfounded, and you must provide evidence for everything! You said that General Liu broke into the East City Gate without permission?
, is there any real evidence?”
The meaning in Emperor Chongzhen's tone was already very obvious. At this moment, he naturally did not want to offend Liu Ruyi, the most powerful of the Ming armies, so he signaled to the king to reduce the big problems to small ones, and to stop holding on to them.
!
But since Wang Xinyi dropped this bombshell, he obviously no longer had the consciousness to retreat. He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the officers guarding the East City Gate were already waiting outside the palace gate last night. What the Emperor wants to know is,
Just ask and you’ll know!”
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but turn pale. He really didn't expect that Wang Xinyi, who was usually as soft as a pug, would actually pick a fight with him at this moment!
However, since Wang Xinyi said that there was a witness, Emperor Chongzhen really couldn't continue to cover up Liu Ruyi in front of all the civil and military officials at this time, so he said with a cold face: "Xuan!"
"yes!"
~~~~~~~~
Not long after, the East Gate garrison deputy Qianhu Sun Dapao came to the Jinluan Hall with great fear!
"See, see the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!" Sun Dapao quickly knelt down on the ground with his butt in the sky, not daring to say a word!
Emperor Chongzhen had a cruel look on his face and a fierce look in his eyes. He didn't speak for a long time!
This Wang Xinyi, this damn guy wants to roast him on the fire!
Sun Dapao was just a deputy Qianhu, and the East City Gate was his one-third of an acre, but when had he ever seen such scenes as the Golden Palace?
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, he thought it was because his voice was so quiet that the emperor didn't hear him, so he shouted loudly at the top of his lungs: "Sun Dapao, a humble minister, come to my emperor, long live long live, long live long live..."
"That's enough!" Emperor Chongzhen impatiently interrupted Sun Dapao's greeting, stared directly into Sun Dapao's eyes and said: "What happened at the East Gate last night? What conflict did you have with Liu Ruyi? Come on!
Tell me in detail! If there is a lie, I will definitely punish you severely!"
Sun Dapao originally wanted to show off in front of Emperor Chongzhen, but little did he know that Emperor Chongzhen's face had already turned pale before he even opened his mouth!
Although Sun Dapao was in a humble position and had never seen any big scenes, his ability to observe words and emotions was his strength!
Seeing that the emperor's face changed, he still dared to show off, so he hurriedly told the story of Liu Ruyi forcing his way into the city gate last night!
However, in all the plots, Liu Ruyi was arrogant and domineering, but his ridicule and making things difficult were not mentioned at all!
Emperor Chongzhen's face became even more angry at this time!
On the one hand, he was angry that Wang Xinyi was so shameless and dared to undermine him in public!
On the other hand, if what Sun Dapao said is true, then what exactly does Liu Ruyi want to do? How dare he go to war in the capital?
The rift that originally arose between him and Liu Ruyi had been deeply suppressed in Emperor Chongzhen's heart, but with Sun Dapao's words, it suddenly came to Emperor Chongzhen's heart again!
"Sun Dapao, I'm asking you again! If you dare to tell even half a lie! I will definitely kill all nine of your tribes!" Emperor Chongzhen was really outraged and asked sternly!
"This, this! Your Majesty, I tell you the truth, and there is absolutely no lie! If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, then, the corpses of more than fifty brothers are still lying there at the East City Gate!" Sun Dapao really said.
He was afraid. He originally just wanted to take advantage of troubled waters and get promoted and make a fortune, but unexpectedly, he had been pushed to the forefront of the storm inexplicably!
"Hmph!" Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly. He never looked at Sun Dapao again. He turned to the civil and military officials and said, "My dear friends, what do you think of this matter?"
Since getting rid of the 'Nine Thousand Years Old', Emperor Chongzhen has basically taken control of the overall situation in the DPRK. This is the first time in many years that he has encountered such a dilemma!
All the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government were talking about it instantly!
On the side, Xue Guoguan, standing on the left, was also a little confused!
Although he is from Jiangnan and one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, his impression of Liu Ruyi has also changed greatly since his youngest son accidentally made a secret agreement with Liu Ruyi.
The family also benefited a lot from Liu Ruyi!
But today, he had no idea about Wang Xinyi's sudden attack!
Thinking of this, Xue Guoguan hurriedly asked Wang Xinyi on the side with his eyes!
But Wang Xinyi didn't even look at Xue Guoguan. He stood up straight and concentrated, as if he were a monk who had attained enlightenment!
"This white-eyed wolf, what on earth is he going to do!" Xue Guoguan cursed secretly, but there was nothing he could do!
He had to wink at Emperor Chongzhen and indicate that this matter had nothing to do with him!
Seeing Xue Guoguan's eyes, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be stunned. Since Xue Guoguan was not involved, then, what kind of medicine was Wang Xinyi selling in his gourd?
At this time, Wang Xing, the Minister of Punishment, coughed in a low voice and said: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, if this matter is true! Liu Ruyi, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province, must be investigated and dealt with strictly!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal..."
While they were talking, seven or eight people had already stood up to support Wang Xinyi and Wang Xing! They were all young members of the Donglin Party!
Emperor Chongzhen's face became more and more gloomy. What do these people want to do? Do they want to force him into the palace~~~~!
Xue Guoguan saw Emperor Chongzhen's face and knew that something was wrong. He had to stand up and speak!
"Your Majesty, colleagues, I think this matter is a bit strange! According to my understanding of General Liu, he should not be such an arbitrary and domineering person! There must be some unknown reasons behind it! Your Majesty
, In my opinion, this matter needs long-term consideration!"
Although he came from the same clan, Xue Guoguan was not optimistic about Wang Xinyi and others' sudden advance and cold arrows!
He has been in the court for many years and is used to seeing the sky high and the sea deep, the wind light and the clouds calm. What kind of things have he never experienced?
Although Wang Xinyi and others acted decisively and the evidence was conclusive, the most important thing was that they violated Emperor Chongzhen's taboo at this stall!
Since the emperor doesn't support it, what are they doing like clowns?
"What Mr. Xue Ge said is absolutely true! Wang Shilang does not distinguish between black and white, and blatantly slanders the good generals of the court! Sir, I beg the emperor to investigate strictly and not to deal with it!"
Just when everyone thought it was about to end in silence, Zhang Shan, the Minister of Rites, came out to show off.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
In an instant, more than a dozen people stood up and seconded Zhang Shan!
The situation between North Korea and China suddenly became confrontational!
Xue Guoguan couldn't help but feel a chill at this moment. What is this? How could Zhang Shan support him?
They are the Chu Party under Yang Sichang!
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Xue Guoguan's forehead. He now understood why Wang Xinyi operated on Liu Ruyi. The root of his feelings was here!
Seeing the confrontation escalate instantly, Emperor Chongzhen felt relaxed!
As the supreme controller, Xue Guoguan could see it, so why couldn't he?
Those people who are sentimental are just drunkards who are not interested in drinking!
Since Liu Ruyi's troops defeated Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Manaoshan, Sichuan last year, Yang Sichang's reputation has skyrocketed!
This also made the Chu party, which had already lost some power since Yang Sichang resigned, once again have a surge in prestige!
Although Liu Ruyi did this unintentionally, because of Yang Sichang's relationship, he was secretly labeled as a 'Chu Party'!
If Liu Ruyi knew about it, he would definitely scream that he was wronged!
Damn it, you were shot even while you were lying down!
