Chapter 165 The Yuan case is not an unjust case!
Emperor Chongzhen knocked on the dragon case, making a "click, click" sound. He looked calmly and looked at Han Xu and Li Biao quietly. He knew what their purpose was, but the initiative was in his own hands.
Here, what does he have to worry about?
"Your Majesty... you have been busy dealing with important military matters since your triumphant return to the court." Han Xu gritted his teeth, bowed his hands and said: "However, I feel that it is inappropriate for Yuan Chonghuan to be sent to prison. Even if Yuan Chonghuan is guilty, there should be a three-law judicial review.
Judgment, recently there have been waves in the DPRK and China due to this incident, if..."
"Han Qing, don't I understand this?"
Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said: "As you said just now, I am currently busy with important military affairs and do not have extra energy to examine Yuan Chonghuan's case.
I don’t understand why a criminal minister of our Ming Dynasty can cause trouble in the court. Is it possible that those ministers with evil intentions don’t want me to personally try Yuan Chonghuan’s case?”
From the time when Yuan Chonghuan left Liaodong under the emperor's orders and took full charge of the peace of Liaoning, he always wanted money for money, convenience for convenience, and even pretended to kill Mao Wenlong. Yuan Chonghuan was right. There were many people in the court.
Supporting the Yuan faction, if there was no benefit behind this, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely not believe it.
Zhou Yuji and Chen Jisheng, who were sent by the Congcuo faction, "invited" Yuan Chonghuan back from Qian'an City, publicly stated the crime he had committed, and arrested Yuan Chonghuan for investigation. During the period until Banshi returned to the court, Emperor Chongzhen had been thinking about a question in his mind.
Was the previous chaotic situation in Liaodong caused by the unilateral aggressiveness of the rebels, or was it that there were many people within the Ming Dynasty who did not want to see Liaodong restore stability?
"Your Majesty, among all the civil and military officials in the court, there is no one who does not want your Majesty to personally try Yuan Chonghuan's case."
Li Biao stepped forward, bowed his hands and said, "It's just that Yuan Chonghuan previously held an important position and knew many secrets in the court. If it is left to the Jinyi Guards to investigate, it will inevitably cause shock to the court.
At present, what our Ming Dynasty needs is stability. This time the Jianlu invaders invaded our Ming Dynasty, which had a great impact on the Northern Zhili people. If there is chaos in the DPRK, it will inevitably happen..."
"Then what do I want the cabinet to do?"
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Han Xu and Li Biao with an indifferent expression, and said: "You know that I am busy with important military matters and cannot go to the Wenhua Palace to manage government affairs, so why don't you know how to deal with government affairs?
After all, the central idea you want to express is that you feel that I have wronged Yuan Chonghuan?
Is that what you mean?
I feel that I don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and I still think that Yuan Chonghuan is my great Ming Zhongliang. I have no fault at all. Things are not what I define.
Han Qing, Li Qing, I know that you have a close relationship with Yuan Chonghuan in private, including Qian Longxi who was executed by me for delaying the fighter plane, but what I want to tell you is that Yuan’s case is not an unjust case!!"
Han Xu and Li Biao's expressions changed slightly, and their hands trembled subconsciously. They never expected that the emperor would point the finger at them, and every rhetorical question was so sharp.
"Your Majesty, I have never thought of it this way!"
"His Majesty……"
Looking at Han Xu, Li Biao explained to himself emotionally that Emperor Chongzhen had no intention of listening. At the moment, his attitude was that anyone who dared to use Yuan Chonghuan's case to make trouble was his enemy.
Defeating the Jianlu who invaded the Ming Dynasty does not mean that the bad situation in the Ming Dynasty will automatically dissipate. These are all things that he needs to sort out little by little.
Even if he, Yuan Chonghuan, is really capable, his stubbornness, self-centeredness, win over people's hearts, and bullying of superiors and subordinates will lead to him ending up badly.
"That's enough, I don't want to hear what you have to say now."
Emperor Chongzhen stood up slowly and said with a cold expression: "I will issue an order on how the case of Yuan Chonghuan will be tried and when it will be carried out.
Before the matter of merit evaluation and reward is decided, I do not want to see any signs of chaos in the court, nor do I want to see anyone criticizing the government. If you, the first and second ministers of the cabinet, cannot share my worries, then please submit a memorial to resign.
I want to go to Xiyuan, so I won’t accompany you, please leave.”
"..."
Han Xu and Li Biao had complicated expressions. They looked at the tough-minded Emperor Chongzhen. They wanted to say something, but they couldn't.
"I'll take my leave."
Without the threat of foreign invaders, Emperor Chongzhen had more time and energy to compete with the civil servants in the court. It would be impossible to cause him to mess up his rhythm.
"Han Yuanfu, what should we do next?"
Li Biao's brows were filled with panic. He looked at Han Xu who said nothing and said anxiously: "Your Majesty currently doesn't listen to our advice at all. I'm afraid that before long, there will be an uproar in the DPRK because of Yuan Chonghuan's case."
What a huge turmoil.
And His Majesty just said that he is going to Xiyuan. As far as I know, the Yongwei Camp and the reinforcements from the Dongjiang Army who came back to Beijing are all temporarily stationed in Xiyuan. Do you think you will follow..."
"Now is not the time to talk about this."
Han Xu pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "The emperor's current attitude, showing such disgust towards Yuan Chonghuan, in the final analysis, is that he had high hopes for him before, but he got this result.
What we can do now is to temporarily stabilize the court situation, and then try to find opportunities, and then persuade the emperor to transfer Yuan Chonghuan to the Three Laws Division for investigation and investigation."
This time, he came to the military aircraft station to meet Emperor Chongzhen and wanted to persuade him, but the emperor said those words in a targeted manner. Han Xu was obviously aware of many changes in the emperor.
This is very fatal for him, the chief minister of the cabinet.
If he loses the emperor's trust, even if he wants to secure his position as the chief minister of the cabinet, it is probably unrealistic.
After such a big circle, everything has returned to the starting point, the case of Yuan Chonghuan. He must not only satisfy the emperor, but also reduce the number of courtiers implicated by Yuan Chonghuan to the minimum possible.
Once a thing like power is handled, no one is willing to let go easily. After all, sitting in this position and not sitting in this position are two completely different feelings.
Looking at the determined expression of Han Xu and the accompanying Li Biao, his panicked heart finally calmed down a little. However, when he thought of Yuan Chonghuan who was detained in the imperial prison, and the tough Emperor Chongzhen, he became uneasy again.
.
Since Yuan Chonghuan left Liaodong and took full charge of the Liao Dynasty, even if Yuan Chonghuan corrected the imperial edict and killed Mao Wenlong, he always supported Yuan Chonghuan in the court. He had many contacts with Yuan Chonghuan in private. If he really asked the Jinyi Guards to supervise Yuan Chonghuan's case,
