Chapter 70
Unable to bear the humiliation, Xiong Tingbi resigned angrily. The Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties lost their last support, and they were not far from being completely over.

Next is Donglin and Eunuch.

These two gangs of bastards actually caused a huge disaster for me. If they don't deal with them, they don't know what kind of trouble they will create.

Taichang couldn't take it anymore, he decided to close the door and let the dog go, let Wei Zhongxian kill the Donglin Party, and then get rid of the mad dog in one fell swoop.

However, in this situation, he couldn't let Wei Zhongxian pounce on him with a groan, and bite all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to the ground. If he wanted to bite like this, it would be troublesome. Civil and military are all on the ground, so there will be no big trouble!
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian, the mad dog, had to take one bite at a time, biting off one and replacing it with another, so that no big trouble would happen.

Obviously, Feng Congwu was the first target he designated for Wei Zhongxian. However, Wei Zhongxian could not be given the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, because he was really in a hurry to build weapons and equipment, and Jiannu was about to conquer Liaodong. Hurry up and build new guns and cannons, can't we wait until the slaves enter the imperial capital to build them again!
Wei Zhongxian already understood what Taichang meant, what would he do?

To be honest, Feng Congwu is really hard to find if he has shortcomings.

Donglin, or Qingliu who are referred to as Donglin, most of them are clean and honest officials, there are few corrupt officials, they are also decent, and they pay attention to their image. Apart from their strong desire for power, they always want to control the power of the court and Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were really few other problems.

Among these people, except for a few people like Qian Qianyi, it was really not easy for the others to pick out some faults.

But that's okay, a mad dog never needs a reason to bite, and it doesn't matter if you're a bad guy or a good guy.

In the early morning of the next day, the morning court had just begun, and the officials of Honglu Temple had just finished saying, "There is something to play, and there is nothing to leave the court." Yao Zongwen coughed impatiently, rushed out of the train, lay down on the imperial road, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

This guy is so active, you really think you can make up for it.

Alright, let's use your waste heat first, come on.

Close the door, let the dog out, let me bite!
Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Read."

Yao Zongwen immediately unfolded the memorial and read aloud: "My minister impeached Feng Congwu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, to accept bribes many times during his censorship, and to cover up wrongdoing for others. He is lawless and shameless!"

When Feng Congwu heard this, he was so angry that he almost spit out blood.

What Qingliu hates the most is that others say they are corrupt, and Yao Zongwen, a shameless person, talks such nonsense, naturally Feng Congwu can't bear it.

Taichang pretended to be fair and said: "Feng Congwu, what do you have to say?"

Feng Congwu immediately walked out of the train, and leaned on the other side of the imperial road to protest anxiously: "Your Majesty, Yao Zongwen is purely slandering, my minister has a good job in the imperial censor, and has never received a penny in bribes. All my colleagues know."

I don't care if you took bribes or not.

Taichang turned his head to look at Yao Zongwen on the other side, beckoning him to continue.

This is called playing the right, if the courtiers report on state affairs, then the emperor will play the right, if the courtiers impeach others, then the two people will confront each other to see who is right.

Yao Zongwen immediately said nonsense: "Master Feng, if you want people not to know, you must do nothing yourself. According to the investigation, the bribes you have received in the past six years are tens of thousands of taels. Do you think no one else knows?"

Feng Congwu was so angry that his face was bloodshot and he said, "What about the evidence? You didn't just talk nonsense with no evidence. What do you mean?"

Yao Zongwen simply played a rogue and said: "We science and Taoist officials need evidence for rumors and rumors. You don't even know this, do you?"

This is indeed a rule set by the Hongwu Dynasty. Yushi Hegeshi is the one who supervises all officials, and there is no need for evidence for rumors and rumors.

Feng Congwu was so angry that he could only cup his hands and said to Taichang: "Your Majesty, Yao Zongwen doesn't have any evidence to slander this humble official, and this humble official refuses to accept."

What can you do if you don't agree?

Taichang pretended to be apologetic: "Let's leave this matter to be dealt with after the court retreat, next one."

Yao Zongwen kowtowed proudly, got up and returned to the train.

Feng Congwu had no choice but to kowtow and resign.

Unexpectedly, before he could go back to the train, Wei Yingjia coughed impatiently, stepped out of the train, and said loudly on the imperial road: "Your Majesty, when I impeached Feng Congwu as Shang Baoqing, I followed Yan Shifan's example, privately. Give others seals and ribbons for profit."

When Feng Congwu heard the words, he almost fell to the ground.

You gangsters, you actually compare me to Yan Shifan!

Is it because Yan Shifan was Shang Baoqing that other Shang Baoqings are corrupt officials?

He already understood that it was Wei Zhongxian who wanted to mess with him.

At the beginning, Xiong Tingbi was bitten by these gangsters, so angry that he resigned and left.

The question is, you can't do anything about these shameless guys, they just make out of nothing and talk nonsense, what can you do to them?
The officials heard that they were innocent. This is a rule set by Emperor Hongwu himself, even the emperor has nothing to do with them.

Of course, Emperor Hongwu certainly did not expect such a shameless speaker to appear later.

Taichang really pretended to be helpless and could only signal him to come out and deal with it.

Feng Congwu flatly lay down on the Yudao and said angrily to Wei Yingjia: "I am upright and upright, everyone knows it, why do you compare me to Yan Shifan?"

Oops, you're angry, you're angry, okay, we just want to drive you crazy, and make you resign in anger!
Wei Yingjia said very shamelessly: "There is a way, follow the example, follow the example, Yan Shifan was not clean when he was Shang Baoqing, why is it strange for you to imitate him?"

I!
Oops, I am so angry!
Feng Congwu was so angry that he almost couldn't hold back his anger. He didn't know how to deal with such shameless people.

Taichang pretended to be helpless and said: "Okay, this matter will be dealt with after the court retreat, next one."

Wei Yingjia kowtowed triumphantly and went back to the train, but Feng Congwu was so angry that he lay there and forgot.

At this time, Feng Sanyuan coughed impatiently again, stepped out of the train, knelt on the royal road and said loudly: "Your Majesty, when I impeached Feng Congwu as Yushi, I perverted the law for personal gain, oppressed the good, and was lawless. He beat him enough to report to the late emperor."

Is this my oppression of kindness?
It was the dead eunuch who oppressed Liangshan and got caught by me, okay?

Feng Congwu was so angry that he immediately protested loudly: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. At that time, when I was patrolling the city, I caught a eunuch bullying Liangshan in the street, so I beat him with a board as a punishment!"

Taichang looked at Feng Sanyuan pretending to be puzzled.

Feng Sanyuan immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty clearly observed that the late Emperor was very angry because of this incident, and wanted to beat Feng Congwu, and it was Feng Congwu's accomplices who tried their best to protect him to avoid it."

I!
The first emperor hated us civil servants to the core since the war for the foundation of the country. Since then, the first emperor has been partial to the eunuchs, and he doesn't care whether the civil servants are justified or not.

That is the first emperor was biased, you are so confusing!

Feng Congwu was shaking with anger, unable to speak.

He can't tell the late emperor's fault in front of the emperor, can he!
Unexpectedly, Feng Sanyuan still refused to let go and said: "You were so ashamed because of this matter, you submitted your resignation and ran home to hide your embarrassment, am I not talking nonsense?"

You are not talking nonsense!
The first emperor was obviously partial to those dead eunuchs, I resigned to show my resistance, why should I be ashamed?
Feng Congwu was trembling with anger, his whole body was about to explode.

After holding back for a long time, he finally said: "Your Majesty, you have been wronged!"

Wronged?
Taichang thought to himself, you are not wronged at all!

What kind of minister of the Ministry of Industry are you who studies Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, what technology do you know, can you make guns, can you make cannons, do you know how to build ships?
To put it bluntly, nerds like you who despise magical techniques must not even know how to build bridges!
You don't know anything and still work as a minister of the Ministry of Industry, isn't that occupying the latrine and not shitting?

This alone proves that you Donglin are nepotism!
If I don't take you down, how can I build those new muskets and cannons? Is it up to you?
Can you do it?

No, just get the hell out of me!
