Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 335 Farce
Tomorrow is the day of the new emperor's wedding, but this kind of thing happened suddenly, which no one expected.

The morning court has not yet ended, so many important court officials were arrested at once, and the positions they vacated are all hot positions in the court. Wei Zhongxian is very busy these days, of course he is busy receiving gifts.

According to Wei Zhongxian's plan, Huang Zunsu would propose to Zhu Youxiao the list of candidates for the cabinet and several ministers during the early court today, and of course these people gave Wei Zhongxian the most gifts.

But he didn't expect such a big commotion in the capital before the new eunuchs made their debut.

Zhu Youxiao was stupid, he had never experienced such a thing.

Wei Zhongxian was also taken aback, he never expected that the capture of several Donglin Party bosses would cause such a big commotion.

Outside the palace, Jin Yiwei's bow-stringed sword was out of its sheath, closely guarding the scholars and commoners who were getting closer.

The soldiers and horses of the five cities formed the first line of defense on the periphery of Jinyiwei, but they had experience once, and they didn't even hold weapons in their hands at this time, they just stood in front of the scholars and common people hand in hand.

Even the British Duke Zhang Weixian, who never went to court, was alarmed. He was also riding a horse at the moment, trying to persuade the scholars and common people to calm down.

"Release the arrested adults, and severely punish the Wei traitor who caused chaos in the court!".
The slogans were louder and louder, and the walls of the palace were almost collapsed.

In the imperial study room of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao's face became more and more gloomy. At this moment, he hated these troublemakers and ordinary people, and also hated Wei Zhongxian's poor handling of affairs. In his mind, if Wei Zhongxian hadn't handled things properly, this would not have happened at all. situation.

It must be said that without Ke Shi's pillow style, Wei Zhongxian's position in Zhu Youxiao's heart is not so important.

On this point, Zhu Youxiao and Wanli have some imaginations, they are both so cold.

Wei Zhongxian also knew Zhu Youxiao's character very well. He knew that something bad was going to happen when he saw Zhu Youxiao's face, but the decree was from you, Zhu Youxiao. Haven't you thought about the consequences?

Wei Zhongxian reacted quickly, knowing that at this time, he must not pour dirty water on the emperor.

Jumping out, "Putong!" Kneeling down, shouting: "It's all the fault of the servant, it's the servant's mishandling, which annoyed His Majesty, but the servant really can't bear to see those people deceive His Majesty, the death of the old slave is not a pity, I beg Your Majesty to take care of the dragon body!"

Lao Wei's acting skills are really unspeakable. After a few words, tears welled up in his eyes, as real as he wanted.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian's appearance, Zhu Youxiao's heart also softened. To put it bluntly, he still can't do without Wei Zhongxian, a slave.

Frowning, he said, "How should the outside affairs be resolved? We can't just let them keep making trouble like this!"

"Your Majesty, the evidence of these people's rebellion is very sufficient, and they must not be allowed to go unpunished. The meaning of the slave, your majesty may wish to order these people to be handed over to Dali Temple for review, and then issue a decree to punish the slave. This will surely appease the situation temporarily. Scholars and common people, after those rebels have confessed their crimes, who else dares to make trouble?"

The meaning of Wei Zhongxian's words is very clear. If he releases him directly, it is tantamount to admitting that he has caught the wrong person. At that time, Zhu Youxiao will definitely abandon the pawn bail and let him out.

Zhu Youxiao nodded. After all, he had never dealt with similar incidents before. If he wanted to, he should release them directly and deal with them slowly afterwards. But what Wei Zhongxian said was right. Letting them go, isn't that tantamount to condoning this behavior?

He sighed and said, "Let's draw up an order!"

At this time, more than 10 people had gathered outside the palace. There was a sea of ​​people, and there was no end in sight.

In the anticipation of everyone, a eunuch finally came out of the palace and read the imperial decree loudly.

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor ordered Wei Zhongxian, governor of the East Factory, to misinterpret the holy will and abuse his private behavior. He immediately dismissed the governor of the East Factory and the Supervisor of Rituals from his duties, and handed over to Jinyiwei for strict examination. According to Jinyiwei's detailed investigation, Liu Yijing , Han Kuang, Zhou Jiamo, Sun Ruyou, Zuo Guangdou and others conspired in Liu Yijing's mansion on the night of October [-] to welcome King Fu to Beijing and other conspiracy matters. There are witnesses and material evidence. These criminals are hereby handed over to Dali The temple strictly judges right and wrong, and has its own judgment. The ministers, workers and people can just wait for the result, and don't make any more noise.

After hearing the imperial decree, the scholars standing at the front were stunned for a moment, and then someone raised a question.

"Dare to ask this father-in-law, since His Majesty knows that Wei Yan misinterpreted the holy will, why does he say that these adults have conclusive evidence of treason? Isn't this contradictory?"

This eunuch is also very courageous. He listened to the scholar's question and said coldly: "Wei Zhongxian deceived the saint and did a lot of outrageous things. His Majesty's disposal of him has nothing to do with those rebels. If If you continue to make trouble, it will be disrespectful to His Majesty, His Majesty also said just now, right and wrong are judged by themselves, after being brought to Dali Temple for interrogation, if there is no problem, he will release him, otherwise, hum!"

After the eunuch finished speaking, he flicked his robe sleeves, turned around and returned to the palace.

The scholars were stunned, but the content of the imperial decree had already been spread, and when they heard the news that Wei Zhongxian had been dealt with, the common people immediately cheered.

There are no good people when you are an official. This is the thinking of ordinary people, so the people don't care about the treatment of Donglin party members at all. What they care about is the treatment of Wei Zhongxian.

How to say that the people are best to be fooled, don't even think about it, the commander of the Jinyiwei is Wei Zhongxian's henchman, and Wei Zhongxian is handed over to the Jinyiwei, what kind of disposal is this called?
Amidst the cheers, His Majesty's holy slogans became louder and louder in the city, and then the people began to disperse.

After whispering to each other, the scholars also dispersed one after another. Among these people, there were many nephews of Liu Yijing and others' students. Originally, they wanted to take this opportunity to rescue the senior teachers, but this kind of thing requires concerted efforts. Now everyone Flicked away by the imperial decree, they were helpless, so they also started to leave.

These people didn't know that the falcon-like eyes of Jin Yiwei were already staring at them, and after everyone dispersed, they began to arrest people.

This massive demonstration, like a farce, ended anticlimactically.

The news was reported to Ye Xun as quickly as possible. Ye Xun just smiled. So far, everything is still under control, and the next thing is to see if Wei Zhongxian can make a comeback.

Although Wei Zhongxian has reached the point of anger and grievance, the time to deal with him is not yet.

He ordered someone to send a message to Li Daiwen, telling him that he could only help here, and the rest was up to them.

Because of the existence of Ye Xun and Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin party members did not pose much harm to the government, so as long as the people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are willing to release water, these people will be fine, otherwise it depends on their fortune.

Ye Xun believed that Li Daiwen could understand this truth. As for whether Li Daiwen would blame him for not saving people, Ye Xun would not care. Who let Li Daiwen's son live in Liaodong?
