According to Wei Zhongxian's understanding of the emperor, the matter has reached this point and cannot be fooled. He can only hold the emperor on his back and accuse the Donglin Party members of their sinister intentions and ugly faces.

However, the emperor was not influenced by Wei Zhongxian and insisted on reading the memorial. Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to have the fatal memorial brought.

"Read it to me!" The Emperor said lightly, and Wei Zhongxian was shocked all over.

When Zhu Youxiao said these words, Wei Zhongxian was relieved. He had forgotten one thing, that is, the emperor did not know how to read.

Since he didn't know the words, someone else had to read it to him. And the person who read the memorial could only be Wei Zhongxian's best friend Wang Tiqian.

Sure enough, Wang Gonggong unfolded the memorial. After reading the words on it, he began to read it with frustration.

Of course, the twenty-four deadly sins became twenty-four in Wang Tigan's mouth...!

"A great sin!"

In Wang Tigan's words, in order not to worry the Emperor, all those fatal crimes were gone. All that was left were spitting, not obeying traffic rules, molesting middle-aged and elderly women, etc.! As for the amount of bribes, it was also determined by An astronomical figure turned into a small two thousand taels.

It's impossible to be an official these days without taking any money. If Eunuch Wei only received two thousand taels, then this father-in-law can really be called an upright official. The impeachment brought up an upright official. Anyway, Zhu Youxiao That's what I thought.

Zhu Youxiao listened very seriously from beginning to end. When he heard the last word read by Wang Tiqian, he felt that Eunuch Wei was not a big deal.

If you spit everywhere, buy more medicine to treat pharyngitis. If you don't spit, you'll be fine. If you don't abide by traffic rules, you'll be fined at worst. It's enough to avoid past mistakes and avoid future ones, treat illnesses and save lives.

As for molesting middle-aged and elderly women, he didn't molest his own wife anyway, so why bother with those nosy matters. In short, His Majesty Zhu Youxiao determined that Wei Zhongxian's conscience was not too bad and he belonged to the group of people who could be saved.

Zhu Youxiao was confused, why did Wei Zhongxian sound like a pretty good person? Why were the people so angry?

Wang Tiqian was regarded as the roundworm in Zhu Youxiao's belly. Seeing Zhu Youxiao's puzzled expression, he quickly helped explain: "Your Majesty! There are always criminals on errands these days. Wei supervises the East Factory and has many contacts with Jinyiwei.

Do you think this is a sinner?

Yang Lian and those people must be holding a grudge because Supervisor Wei offended them. You know, these scholars are very small-minded. As long as they stand in their way, these people will get rid of them quickly.

What's more, Zhao Nanxing and others have taken advantage of their favors in recent years. They always say that they helped take the throne from His Majesty. Although His Majesty rewarded them with official positions, they are not popular enough.

When Supervisor Wei is doing things, anyone who does not agree with them will be ostracized by them. When the old slave saw Zhao Nanxing ostracizing Supervisor Wei, it was not just once or twice." At the critical moment, Wang Tigan took a bad medicine.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but give a thumbs up. It seemed that the guy with ink in his stomach had more bad water.

Zhu Youxiao was furious. It's true that you helped me ascend the throne, but I didn't treat you Donglin Party members badly. Yang Lianyou was given a seventh-grade job, and in just four years he became the dignified left deputy governor. , what else would a third-rank official of the Ming Dynasty do?

Besides, the job of a spy is to snitch and arrest people. No matter when, snitching is a hateful behavior. You can't impeach an honest man like Wei Zhongxian because of this.

"Do your job well, don't lie to me! I know your business, go back!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and signaled Wei Zhongxian to leave quickly. I also want to paint the Tuanlong carved dental bed, who has time to share your ink?

.

"No! Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian's heart was about to burst with joy. With these words from the emperor, it was considered a safe passage.

No matter how noisy and loud it is outside, as long as the emperor still trusts himself, it won't be a big deal. This world still belongs to His Majesty the Emperor.

After leaving the palace, Wei Zhongxian remembered that in his excitement, he actually forgot to talk to the emperor about Wang Wenyan's confession. But it didn't matter. Since the emperor still asked him to do it, then I would do it. There is no need to tell the emperor about this kind of thing.

Now that the emperor has made his attitude clear, I will get on with it.

In October of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian, who saw clearly the reality and the reality, finally raised the butcher's knife.

Without any warning, the emperor issued an edict to reprimand Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Rites, for forming a clique for personal gain. Then, there was a special edict to criticize Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Gao Panlong, Huang Zunsu and others. Finally, he simply gave them a summary

, stamped hard, and pointed the finger directly at the Donglin Party members.

It is certain that Colonel Zhu You was not very clear about these matters. This guy was not very literate and was busy with civil engineering. Considering the special situation, in order not to trouble His Majesty the Emperor and to persecute Zhongliang in a timely and effective manner, Eunuch Wei jumped over the hierarchy and took over the task.

All decrees.

Zhao Nanxing, Zuo Guangdou, Gao Panlong, Huang Zunsu and others were all stunned! After decades of ups and downs in officialdom, they are well aware of the mysteries of officialdom. But this time, it seems to be a little too mysterious.

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! Has Your Majesty forgotten the merits of his support? You are ungrateful! This is ungrateful!" Zhao Nanxing slapped the table loudly, and the tea cups on the coffee table kept jumping around.

Ye Xianggao's hands kept tapping on the table. He was the only one who was not reprimanded by the emperor's decree. Years of ups and downs in officialdom gave him a heart like a fox. When others said they would kill Wei Zhongxian

, only he said something to protect Wei Zhongxian.

It was these words that made him despised by the brothers of the Donglin Party, but only he knew the pain in Ye Xianggao's heart.

From the beginning to the end, Ye Xianggao understood that Yang Lian's memorial would make it difficult to kill Wei Zhongxian because the emperor would never agree to cut off his minions.

It's ridiculous that Zhao Nanxing and others are still immersed in their achievements in supporting the emperor, and they often tell people that if it weren't for them four years ago, the emperor would not be the emperor he is now.

In this world, the most lovely thing is the merit of support, and the most hateful thing is the merit of support.

The emperor felt that he had used his trust and official position to reward the Donglin Party members for their contributions. However, the Donglin Party members felt that it was far from enough. The gap between the prices was very large and irreconcilable.

That's why Wei Zhongxian has had smooth sailing in recent years, and that's why the Donglin Party has gradually lost power.

Yang Lian's memorial made the emperor more wary of the Donglin Party. He could no longer tolerate the Donglin Party, and Wei Zhongxian's actions were actually something the emperor was happy to see.

Completely defeat the Donglin Party, and then step on it again. Let the Donglin Party never stand up again, so that the emperor can control the entire court.

It's ridiculous that Zhao Nanxing still doesn't understand the current affairs until now. He opens his mouth to support his achievements and shuts up to support his achievements.

Ye Xianggao knew the truth behind this, but he couldn't tell it. That old stubborn Zhao Nanxing would not listen to a word of it. In his world, he just believed that the Donglin Party was kind to the emperor, and the emperor must repay it.

It's ridiculous that Zhao Nanxing has been studying and reading books all his life, but he just doesn't understand what it means to be ruthless and the emperor's family.

Now he can only keep his position as chief assistant, and maybe he can help the Donglin Party. At least Wei Zhongxian has scruples when doing things, and will not kill all the Donglin Party members.

As long as there are people around, everything is possible.

"I am frustrated and hope to go home to hunt and herd the countryside. I wonder if you guys are willing to follow me!" Zhao Nanxing's words brought the wandering Ye Xianggao back to reality.

"No!" Ye Xianggao stood up immediately. He knew that this was Zhao Nanxing's last madness. He wanted to lead the Donglin Party members to resign en masse. Since he doesn't want to see me, I will quit! There are so many things going on in the court, look at it.

Who do you ask to do it?

What kind of fool can do this? The official position is there. If you don't do it, there are people who are willing to do it. Do you think you can scare the emperor by resigning?

With an official position, Wei Zhongxian may still be a little scrupulous. If he resigns from his official position and becomes a common man...! Then Wei Zhongxian will die, Huo Huo!

"Lian is willing to follow Mr. Lian!" Yang Lian was the first to stand up.

When Ye Xianggao said to let Wei Zhongxian go, Yang Lian scolded him for his typical capitulationism.

No matter how powerful Wei Zhongxian is, he is nothing more than a eunuch. The people under him are nothing more than a mob. As long as Wei Zhongxian is killed with force, the eunuchs and the scumbags can be wiped out, social order can be maintained, and world peace can be defended.

This time, the success fell short because of Ye Xianggao's capitulationist remarks. How could such a massive movement succeed if the chief minister did not participate?

If you want to say who Yang Lian hates the most right now? I guess Ye Xianggao's name is second only to Wei Zhongxian.

"Zuo is not talented, but he is willing to follow Mr. Zuo." Zuo Guangdou also stood up and glanced at Ye Xianggao with contempt.

"Gao Mou is willing to attach himself to Mr. Gao's tail!" Gao Panlong was next.

"Huang...!" Huang Zunsu also stood up and spoke.

The people present stood up one after another. Among them were ministers like Zhao Nanxing, as well as several ministers of the sixth or seventh rank. A group of people stood up loudly.

Ye Xianggao closed his eyes in despair. The Donglin Party was about to be destroyed. This was the end!

All eyes looked at Ye Xianggao with contempt. Ye Xianggao knew that he must not speak out what was in his heart now. After speaking out, he would be regarded as a typical negative example by scholars and be criticized verbally and written by generations. His reputation is so bad.

The streets will remain intact for thousands of years.

"I would like to join you all!" Ye Xianggao's face was full of helplessness.

He had already made up his mind to pack his things and go back to his hometown in Fujian. Maybe this old man could survive until his death in his hometown.

The next day, Wei Zhongxian received resignation letters from more than 60 officials.

The excited Wei Zhongxian was so happy that his nose almost ran down. By arranging official positions, he could not only collect money, but also place his own people.

What's more important is that once people like the Donglin Party are no longer in official positions, hey! I can't kill you. The time has come to take revenge and complain.

There is actually another reason why Zhao Nanxing took the initiative to resign. For many years, the official rule has been that as long as he resigns and returns to his hometown, political opponents will not pursue them fiercely. Everyone hangs out in the court, and disputes over rights and interests are very common.

normal.

As long as there is no deep hatred and hatred, if someone resigns and hands over his power, then he can let go of everything he can. With the tides turning, everyone will have difficulties sometimes.

After years of evolution, this has become an unspoken official rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Nanxing actually had this calculation in mind. He also wanted to preserve these key members of the Donglin Party. But one thing he forgot was that unspoken rules are not rules and regulations after all.

Wei Zhongxian was born as a rogue, so he would not follow the holy precepts of treating others with mercy and mercy. Eunuch Wei firmly believed that a gentleman's revenge would be even ten days too late.

When it comes to the bottom line of being a human being, Eunuch Wei has never had an opponent.

In order to pay off his gambling debts, he even sold his own daughter. Talk to him about the bottom line, and the bottom line is meant to be broken.

In view of the busy schedule of His Majesty the Emperor, Eunuch Wei approved all resignation applications with a stroke of his pen. At the same time, an arrest warrant was also issued.

Naturally, people like Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, etc. didn't run away, and people like Gao Panlong, Huang Zunsu, had to go in. There were also little miscellaneous fish like Gu Dazhang and Zhou Chaorui. Since Jin Yiwei's grandson said that these guys are not good people, let's deal with them together.

Anyway, filling in a few more names is not a big deal.

The capital became even more lively. Ordinary government officials were simply not high enough to arrest these people. Dongchang Jinyiwei launched a thunderous attack and arrested a group of corrupt elements.

Of course, the shameless Eunuch Wei still found a fig leaf. This fig leaf was Wang Wenyan's confession. Anyway, Wang Wenyan said, you are taking bribes. It's not like I framed you!

"Why is there no resignation from Ye Xianggao?" Eunuch Wei suddenly remembered a person. The position of chief minister must not be in the hands of the Donglin Party.

"It seems like he's not ready to leave yet!" Cui Chengxiu said with a smile.

"If he doesn't leave, we will drive him away." Wei Guanghui said straightforwardly.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Wei Zhongxian's sinister words finally determined Ye Xianggao's whereabouts.

Ye Xianggao didn't want to leave. He also wanted to use the power and prestige of the chief minister to save his brothers who were in prison.

But what Ye Xianggao faced was not the scholars in the past, but out-and-out gangsters!

Wei Zhongxian found a group of eunuchs and stood in front of Ye Xianggao's house, pointing at the door and cursing. The onlookers attracted directly caused a traffic jam.

Ye Xianggao was stuck at home, and his family went out to argue, but they were beaten back. He went to the yamen in the capital to mobilize people and troops, but no yamen were willing to send troops. The chief officer either had a stroke or was on the way to one.

Anyway, there's no problem in transferring people, it's not just an order from me.

But there was no fucking order from the chief officer, so that soldier went crazy and went out to be cannon fodder for the chief minister? Everyone is a sensible person, and it is very difficult to find a fool these days.

After two days of commotion, Ye Xianggao was so embarrassed that he was embarrassed. He originally wanted to hold on, but now he couldn't.
Chapter completed!
