Chapter 157

Hearing that the emperor was going to court, all the civil servants became active immediately.Well, so many playbooks have been handed in, and it finally has an effect!
At least in the eyes of these civil servants, the emperor's visit this time is the result of their unremitting efforts.During the waiting period at the Meridian Gate, those who have been to the memorial, all of them held their heads high, and greeted colleagues who they knew or did not know, as if they had won a battle. It's your business!

After a set of procedures, the emperor took his seat, the whip sounded, and the eunuch's unique voice made the opening remark: "There is a book to play, and there is nothing to retreat to the court!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of coughing from below, and many civil servants took the initiative to come out, shouting: "I have this to play!"

Seeing so many people scrambling to get a job, these civil servants all looked at each other knowingly, and then with obvious hostility, they glanced at Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, who was standing in the front.

Hu Guang didn't sleep all night, his eyes were bloodshot.But fortunately, he was young, so he could endure it.Seeing so many officials scrambling to get things done, he had no choice but to suppress his impatience and let them speak first.

"I risked my life to speak directly, and implore your majesty to take the emperor as a warning. If your majesty is obsessed with the rough work of masonry and ignores the affairs of the court, there will be traitors in the court. Your heart is clear, and the world can learn from it. Please also ask your majesty Think twice!" Sun Li, the censor of the Shandong Province, played loudly, speaking righteously, seeing death as home, and pointing the finger at the emperor himself.

This statement is at least superficially reasonable, and no one can find any flaws.Hu Guang frowned when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "I have my own reasons for doing things, you don't worry too much!"

As soon as this was said, Zhao Qian, another Yushi of Henan Province who was standing next to Sun Li, immediately followed up and said: "Your Majesty, I risked my life to impeach Wen Tiren, a powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty. It is a heinous crime to use public tools for private things, and it should be severely punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five or six people immediately agreed with him: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

It seemed that in such an instant, Wen Tiren became the target of public criticism and the public enemy of the people.

Zuodu Censor Cao Yubian stood in the queue, although his face was expressionless, he took a peek at Wen Tiren in front of him, and sneered in his heart, this is just an appetizer!

After hearing this, Hu Guang turned his head to look at Wen Tiren, and seeing him bowed to listen, he turned his head and asked in a cold voice, "Is there any evidence?"

"Your Majesty, you can send someone to Wen's mansion to check. The sedan chairs of officials visiting his mansion have already been lined up at the end of the street!"

"Also, the cabinet is the secret place of the imperial court. The cabinet ministers are all highly respected and trusted ministers. However, Wen Tiren took advantage of His Majesty's trust to promote cronies, and arbitrarily appointed Xiangdang, Wei Ni and others to fill them up, depending on the court's laws. Yu Wuwu. Such a treacherous person, how can he be the head of a hundred officials, I implore His Majesty to punish him severely!"

"..."

The assistant ministers Cheng Jiming and Zhou Yanru behind Wen Tiren gloated over their misfortune. They had only been the chief assistant for a few days, and if they were bitten by those dogs, even if nothing happened temporarily, they would definitely lose some of the emperor's trust.After a few more visits, the location should be moved!The newly promoted minister Zhang Zhifa raised his head to look at the chief assistant and the emperor from time to time, obviously a little uneasy.

Hu Guang couldn't help but sneered inwardly as he watched the courtiers below being passionate and generous.It's no wonder that Wen Tiren didn't seem to have done much in history. Just dealing with these open and dark arrows probably exhausted his energy.There is no principle, and party disputes that are not within the control range are really bad!
He didn't speak, and stared coldly at those who spoke in Dayi.

Slowly, these censors realized that something was wrong.Logically speaking, even if the emperor doesn't believe it, he should express his opinion and ask Wen Tiren to defend himself.But the emperor didn't speak, and if the following procedures didn't go through, wouldn't it be useless to prepare for Wen Tiren's self-defense?
Some things, in fact, cannot be defended by themselves.Especially some things that are relatively vague. For example, it is a fact that there are so many officials queuing up at the gate of Wenfu. People will say that you only met a few secretly and received bribes, such as Zhang Zhifa. Otherwise, why would you recommend him for his qualifications? Those who are not enough become ministers in one fell swoop?
Even if there was no bribe, some shady deal must have been reached, anyway, there are ghosts in it.Let your Wen Tiren's reputation be ruined first, even if you don't succeed for a while, you will definitely step down if you come a few more times!

With such wishful thinking, but seeing the emperor's cooperation and staring at him coldly, these few censors gradually stopped talking, and the scene finally quieted down.

At this time, Hu Guang finally broke out and shouted loudly: "What I said is factual evidence. Are you deaf or did not understand? Where are the witnesses and physical evidence? Without these, you will wantonly attack Shoufu. Who gave you the courage? You This is lying to deceive the emperor, do you think I am easy to fool?"

No one expected that the emperor would protect Wen Tiren so much, pointing the finger at these censors, and speaking so harshly that some people broke out in cold sweat.But the newly promoted minister Zhang Zhifa secretly wiped off his sweat, peeked at the chief minister in front of him, and heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, I heard the emperor sitting above yelling again in a cold voice: "I will give you another chance and give the real evidence, and I will deal with it fairly. But if there is no real evidence, it is lying and deceiving the emperor, and I will never take it lightly." Forgive me!"

Faced with Longyan's fury, the faces of Sun Li, Zhao Qian and others changed. It is obviously impossible to ask them to give evidence. The censor has the right to gossip about things. Although there is no real evidence, it is still being collected!"

When Hu Guang heard this, he immediately sneered and said, "That is to say, you are wantonly attacking Shoufu without evidence? Do you want me to believe your words and deal with Shoufu? You are too courageous. You really think I am so So deceitful? Come on!"

The Royal Imperial Guard immediately stepped forward to listen to the order: "Here!"

Judging from this posture, the emperor is going to severely punish these censors who attacked the chief assistant Wen Tiren.Immediately, those civil servants and military generals who did not come out were a little startled.

Sun Li, Zhao Qian and the others were startled and panicked in the face of Thunder's fury, and they all turned their eyes to Zuodu Yushi.

Cao Yubian did not expect that the emperor would defend Wen Tiren so much. It is a bit surprising that no one believes so many crimes.Fortunately, the emperor emphasized the facts, so he was relatively calm in his heart.But if he doesn't show up at this time, his own dog legs will be lost.

Therefore, Cao Yubian also coughed at this moment, and went out to play: "The old minister also has something to play, which is related to the first assistant, or it can be proved!"

When Hu Guang heard this, he sneered in his heart, you old fox, you are finally going into battle shirtless, and I am waiting for you!

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted coldly: "Speak!"
