Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 252
A piece of events at the end of the Ming Dynasty, half of the history of power, all of the sorrows of Ming Dynasty, the disputes of factions, ideas, and regions involved are all caused by interests in the final analysis.

Under the situation of the surging undercurrent in the capital, Jinyiwei, Shenshuying, and Zhongyongjun appeared in various places in the capital, sealed up a large number of mansions, and arrested many people. This is not a secret at all to those who are well-informed.

"What does the emperor want to do?"

Holding the teacup, Liu Zongzhou looked a bit out of control, and murmured, "This is fine, why did you arrest Li Ruzhen, who was guilty of the crime in the government, and call the Zhongyong Army to raid the house?
Could it be that Yuan Chonghuan really said something?

Impossible. Over the years, the Li family has long since declined. Although they had some reputation in the Liao Dynasty, they had no intersection with Yuan Chonghuan at all.

This Li Ruzhen cannot be arrested and sent to imperial prison, if he is called Liaoqian..."

Liu Zongzhou was startled when he said this, quickly shut his mouth, and looked at the Xuncheng Yushi of Dongcheng who was passing the news to him, his brows furrowed even more.

"Liu Zongxian, this matter is very strange."

Zhou Hanmin frowned, stretched out his hand and said, "According to the report from Dongcheng soldiers and horses, those who participated in the arrest of each house of Li's family, and Zu Dashou's Shenshu Camp.

Although the late Ning Yuanbo's lineage all settled in the capital, most of the other houses of the Li family settled in the Liaoqian area. Your majesty is so good, why did you make such a decree?
Also...according to the information known by the lower officials, not only the Li family was arrested today, but also some officials and gentry were also arrested, and they were at the Meridian Gate earlier, admonishing..."

"Okay, you don't need to say any more."

Liu Zongzhou stood up, frowned and said, "Don't get involved in this matter, the matter is more complicated than it appears on the surface, it's beyond your control.

Do your job well, Guochao just forgot you, I still have some things to deal with. "

Based on the current situation, Liu Zongzhou's intuition told him that this must be an action against the Chongwenmen taxation issue in today's day.

But Li Ruzhen's special status, coupled with the fact that the entire Li family was arrested, made the situation more complicated than imagined. At this time, Liu Zongzhou wanted to discuss countermeasures with Han Yu.

Although there were some conflicts between the two due to the Yuan case, the level involved is somewhat broad, which made Liu Zongzhou not care about it so much.

On the way from the base of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the cabinet, Liu Zongzhou, who was sitting in the official sedan chair, observed all the way and found that all the streets and entrances he passed were guarded by soldiers of the Zhongyong Army.

Although Sun Zushou led the admiral of the nine sects, and his loyal and brave army was the main force to replenish the various sects inside and outside the capital, they were stationed at the Fengtai camp on weekdays.

Now they are taking over the authority of the Wucheng Bingmasi and guarding the main roads in Dashi Yongfang and other places. This is undoubtedly an act of exceeding their authority.

If the late Ning Yuanbo's lineage had not been involved, and Li Ruzhen, who had committed crimes in the government, was taken to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison without saying a word, then Liu Zongzhou would definitely not let this ultra vires pass by.

It's just that Liu Zongzhou's mind is not here at all at this time, he just wants to find Han Yu as soon as possible, and discuss this situation with Han Yu.

"Liu Zongxian, why did you come to the cabinet?" Zhou Daodeng, who was a little uncertain, walked out of the hall, trying to calm down his emotions, but found Liu Zongzhou walking in a hurry.

"Come find Han Yuanfu."

Seeing that it was Zhou Daodeng, Liu Zongzhou said indifferently.

Don't look at Zhou Daodeng as a cabinet scholar and a member of the cabinet group assistants, but for Liu Zongzhou, he looks down on Zhou Daodeng very much.

"Hehe~"

Zhou Daodeng was not angry, he said with a smile: "Is it because of Jinyiwei and Shenshuying? It's a bit of a coincidence for Liu Zongxian, this Han Yuanfu has just left not long ago."

"Where did Han Yuanfu go?"

Liu Zongzhou frowned slightly, staring at Zhou Daodeng and said: "Mr. Zhou Ge, does the cabinet have no opinion on Jin Yiwei and the others who wantonly arrested in various districts of the capital without going through the Ministry of Punishment or even Shuntian Mansion?"

"Honsuke doesn't know where Han Yuanfu is going."

Zhou Daodeng smiled slightly and said, "As for what Jin Yiwei did, I'm afraid Mr. Liu didn't know all about it, and most of those who were arrested were handed over to Shuntian Mansion Prison.

Why did Zongxian Liu leave, Benfu..."

Listening to Zhou Daodeng's chatter behind him, Liu Zongzhou's expression became more serious, and he couldn't help but quicken his steps. What's going on here?

In fact, at this time, not only Liu Zongzhou, but many ministers in the court knew that Li Ruzhen was arrested, and even the entire Li family was arrested, and some officials and gentry were arrested, and they couldn't sit still.

Originally, the Yuan case supervised by Jin Yiwei was enough to cause trouble for Wai Chao, but now that it was involved in other cases, one can imagine the mood.

……

"My lord... drink some tea and rest your mind."

Wang Chengen held a cup of tea, handed it to Emperor Chongzhen, bowed slightly and said, "Li Ruzhen and others who were imprisoned by Jin Yiwei were all raised by the people in the inner factory and secretly transferred to other places."

"Well, the errand was done well." Emperor Chongzhen took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Luo Yangxing and the others, how did they react?"

"...The servant girl is a little uncertain."

Wang Chengen frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "However, people like Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang react quite normally, as if they have nothing to do with them."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a moment, then realized what was going on, put down the teacup in his hand with a smile, and then said: "What about the situation in the outer court?

Although it was not long before Li Ruzhen and the others were arrested, some people in the court couldn't sit still anymore, right?

Li Ruzhen committed serious crimes in the previous dynasty, which caused the dynasty to lose a lot of territory in Liaodong. There were many people who persuaded him. "

"The emperor is wise."

Wang Chengen bowed his head and said: "There are many officials in the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Sixth Ministry, etc. After knowing this, they began to meet privately.

Even according to the news from the inner factory, some officials and censors of Ke Dao are preparing to submit memorials to persuade the emperor..."

Listening to what Wang Chengen said, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly. Things were as he expected. Compared with other people who were arrested in the same batch, Li Ruzhen's Li family really touched the hearts of many people. what.

Just through this situation, it can be seen clearly that in the political arena of the Chongzhen Dynasty, even if it is a wrong network of interests, the influence that a long-dead uncle Ning Yuan Li Chengliang can bring is still not small.

In the context of Daming's rotten top and bottom, it can be seen that there are many moths attached to him, sucking his blood and vitality, and this is the most terrible thing.

"Wang Banban, you go to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion yourself."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up, stretched out his hand and said to Wang Chengen: "Tell Sun Chuanting to start the interrogation as soon as possible. Those who are arrested in Shuntian Mansion Prison should be guilty of whatever crime. I will accompany the Queen in Kunning Palace for these two days. If there is any wind, report it in time."
