Chapter 252 The movement of the court and the opposition
A story of the late Ming Dynasty and half of the history of power describes the sorrows of the Ming Dynasty. The factional disputes, ideas and regional disputes involved are ultimately due to interests.
Under the surging undercurrents in the capital, the Jinyiwei, Shenshu Camp, and the Zhongwang Army appeared in various yards of the capital, sealed a large number of mansions and arrested many people. This was not a secret for well-informed people.
"What exactly does the emperor want to do?"
Liu Zongzhou held the teacup with a slightly disobedient expression and muttered: "This is awesome, why did he arrest Li Ruzhen, who was guilty of being in the house? And asked the Zhongyong Army to send out a raid?
Could it be that Yuan Chonghuan really said something?
It is impossible. Over the years, the Li family has long declined. Although it has some reputation in front of Liao, it has no intersection with Yuan Chonghuan at all.
This Li Ruzhen cannot be arrested and imprisoned. If he is called Liaoqian..."
Liu Zongzhou was shocked when he talked about this, and hurriedly shut up and looked at the Dongcheng City Censor who was passing the message to him. His brows were even more frowning.
"Liu Zongxian, this matter is very strange."
Zhou Hanmin frowned and reached out and said, "According to the report of the Dongcheng Military and Ma Si, the people involved in the arrest of each house of the Li family, are also the Shenshu Camp in charge of Zu Dashou.
Although the late Ningyuanbo family lived in the capital, most of the other houses of the Li family lived in the front area of Liao. Why did your Majesty issue such an order?
Also... According to the information known to Xiaguan, not only the Li family was arrested today, but also some officials and gentry were also arrested. They had previously been on the side of the Meridian Gate to advise..."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything more."
Liu Zongzhou stood up and frowned and said, "Don't get involved in this matter anymore. Things are more complicated than what you see on the surface. This is not something you can interfere with.
Do your job well, but the dynasty will forget you, and I still have some things to deal with."
Through these current situations, I intuition told Liu Zongzhou that this must be an action taken today to the Chongwen Party’s tax customs affairs.
However, Li Ruzhen's special identity and the arrest of the entire Li family made the situation more complicated than expected. At this time, Liu Zongzhou wanted to discuss countermeasures with Han Du.
Although the two had some conflicts over the Yuan case, the current levels involved are somewhat broad, which also makes Liu Zongzhou not care about so much.
After leaving the Censorate's headquarters and rushing to the cabinet, Liu Zongzhou, who was sitting in the official sedan chair, observed the way and found that the soldiers of the loyal and brave army were guarding each street intersection.
Although Sun Zushou led the nine sect admirals and his loyal and brave army was the main force to supplement the internal and external sects of the capital, they usually stationed in Fengtai camp.
Now they take over the power of the five cities and guard the important roads in Yongfang and other places in Dashi. This is undoubtedly an act of overreaching power.
If Li Ruzhen, who was guilty of the late Ning Yuanbo lineage, was taken to the Jinyiwei Zhaozhuo Prison without saying a word, Liu Zongzhou would not have let go of this act of overcoming power.
However, at this time, Liu Zongzhou was completely out of his mind. He just wanted to find Han Du as soon as possible and discuss this situation with Han Du.
"Zhengxian Liu, why are you here in the cabinet?" Zhou Daodeng, who was a little unstable, walked out of the hall, trying to relieve his emotions, but found that Liu Zongzhou was coming in a hurry.
"Come to find Korean won support."
When Liu Zongzhou saw that it was Zhou Daodeng, he said indifferently.
Although Zhou Daodeng is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and a member of the Cabinet Group Assistant, for Liu Zongzhou, he looked down on Zhou Daodeng last time.
“Haha~”
Zhou Daodeng was not angry, and said with a smile: "It was for the Jinyiwei and Shenshu Camp? Liu Zongxian was a little unfortunate. Han Won Fu had just left not long ago."
"Where did Han Wonfu go?"
Liu Zongzhou frowned slightly, stared at Zhou Daodeng and said, "Old Master Zhou, does the cabinet have no opinion on the Jinyiwei and the others who did not go through the Ministry of Justice, or even the Shuntian Prefecture, and they arrested the various yards of the capital without going through the Shuntian Prefecture Office?"
"I don't know where Han Wonfu goes."
Zhou Daodeng smiled slightly and said, "As for what the Jinyiwei did, I am afraid that Liu Zongxian did not fully understand. Most of the people arrested were handed over to the Shuntian Prefecture Prison.
Why is Liu Zongxian gone? I am the assistant..."
Listening to Zhou Daodeng's chattering behind him, Liu Zongzhou's expression became more and more serious, and his steps could not help but speed up. What was going on?
In fact, at this time, not only Liu Zongzhou, but many ministers in the court knew that Li Ruzhen was arrested, and even all the Li family were arrested, and some officials and gentry were arrested, and they were all unable to sit still.
The Yuan case originally supervised by a Jinyiwei was enough to be upset here. Now that it involves other cases, you can imagine how you feel.
...
"The emperor... drink some tea and take a break."
Wang Chengen brought a cup of tea to Emperor Chongzhen, bowed slightly and said, "Li Ruzhen and others who were detained by the Jinyiwei were all proposed by the people from the inner factory and were secretly transferred to another place."
"Well, the errand was done well." Emperor Chongzhen took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "What are the reactions between Luo Yangxing and the others?"
"…I am a little confused."
Wang Chengen frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "But Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang reacted quite normally, as if they had nothing to do with them."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a moment and knew what was going on. He smiled and put down the teacup in his hand, then said, "What's the situation in the outer court?"
Although it has not been long since arrested by Li Ruzhen and the others, some people in the court can no longer sit still, right?
Li Ruzhen, the former dynasty, committed a serious crime, causing the dynasty to lose a lot of territory in Liaodong, and many people advised him. It has not been a few years since then, and I think the Li family’s connections have not been corrupted so quickly.”
"The emperor is wise."
Wang Chengen bowed his head and said, "There are many officials in the cabinet, the Censorate, the Six Ministry and other government agencies. After learning about this, they began to meet in private.
Even according to the information in the internal factory, some of the censors and censors of Kedao were preparing to submit memorials to advise the emperor..."
Listening to what Wang Chengen said, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly. Things were the same as he expected. Compared with other people arrested in the same batch, Li Ruzhen's Li family rooms really touched the hearts of many people.
ah.
Just through this situation, we can see clearly that even the wrong interests of the Chongzhen dynasty, Li Chengliang, a Ningyuan Bo who had been dead for a long time, still had a considerable impact.
Against the backdrop of the ups and downs of the Ming Dynasty, it can be seen that there are many borers that depend on the Ming Dynasty and suck the essence and blood and vitality of the Ming Dynasty. This is the most deadly thing.
"Parent Wang, you go to Shuntian Prefecture in person."
Emperor Chongzhen stood up and reached out to Wang Chengen and said, "I asked Sun Chuanting to start the interrogation as soon as possible. What crime should the person arrested in Shuntian Prefecture be? I will accompany the queen in Kunning Palace in the past two days.
