I don’t know how long it took, Zhu Youjian finally calmed down and looked at Zhuomai and said solemnly: “I order you to arrest Cui Chengxiu and his party members immediately, and interrogate them severely, and never punish!"
Jomec had anticipated this errand, and raised his hand and said: "The minister abides by the order."
Jomec finished speaking, but did not leave.
When Zhu Youjian saw it, he said coldly, "What else is there?"
Zhuomai said: "My Majesty, this matter is very involved. I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with the power of Yichen."
The position of the governor of Beizhili is far more powerful than the general governor, but if you want to deal with Beijing officials, especially the former "Seven Qings", or even higher, it is not within the power of the governor of Beizhili.
Zhu Youjian's eyelids twitched, and his heart became even more angry, and said, "I have given you the sword of Shang Fang, except for the first assistant, anyone can take it!"
Jomec raised his hand and said, "The minister takes the decree."
When Zhuomai left, Zhu Youzhen's face was still gloomy and mad with hatred.
What Zhou Qingli said yesterday had already shocked him a lot, and the news from Jomec made him even more aware of what the current courtiers are, which strengthened his determination to deal with the castrated party as soon as possible.
Zhuomac moved very quickly, mobilizing soldiers and horses from Beizhili overnight, and directly sealed Cui Chengxiu's mansion and captured everyone. At the same time, he tortured and tortured everyone except Cui Chengxiu and asked for testimony.
In less than an hour, more than 20 people were arrested from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the sixth department, and other officials at all levels.
"Ye Changmeng, quick trial, tomorrow morning I will get the actual evidence, confession into the palace!" In Shuntian Mansion, Zhuomai looked at Yue Ting and said solemnly.
Jomec was under too much pressure. He knew that he didn't have to wait until dawn, the court would definitely want to fry the pot, and he had to act first.
Yue Ting raised his hand and said solemnly: "It's an adult, then Cui Chengli, He Qitu, I will try it personally. Tonight, I will be able to have all the evidence and evidence. Let the adults have an explanation in the Palace of Qianqing tomorrow!"
Jomec and Yue Ting have a good division of labor. Jome goes to Cui Chengxiu's cell, and Yue Ting interrogates Cui Chengli, He Qitu and others.
Zhuomai came to Cui Chengxiu's cell, pulled a chair, and sat down with him.
Cui Chengxiu was leaning on the wall at the moment, disheveled, a little embarrassed. He watched Zhuomai come in, suddenly smiled, and said: "The emperor is really no one to use, and you actually pulled out your old slipper."
Jomai didn't think he was an old slippery head, and said straightforwardly: "You should be clear about your current situation, let's say, I will ask the emperor to show mercy and give you some forgiveness to the Cui family."
Cui Chengxiu looked at Zhuomai and said, "Save some effort."
Jomec knew that in the face of someone like Cui Chengxiu, coercion and temptation simply didn't work, holding his hands and closing his eyes, he actually fell asleep in front of Cui Chengxiu.
Cui Chengxiu didn't know much about Zhuomai, only that this was an old slippery man, who could hide in case of trouble, and pretend to die if he couldn't hide. This time he didn't expect that he would appear to be dead.
"Are you looking at the opportunity, are you ready to enter the cabinet in the new dynasty?" Cui Chengxiu asked, looking at Zhuomai with his eyes closed.
Jomai didn't open his eyes, let alone answer.
Cui Chengxiu leaned on the wall, staring at Jomae's face, and said, "If it is, I would advise you, wait a minute."
Jomec turned a deaf ear to his ears and snored.
Cui Chengxiu's eyes were slightly cold, he did not speak any more, and closed his eyes.
In a cell not far away, Yue Ting was interrogating Cui Chengli. There was a confession from Cao Zhihuang. Cui Chengli couldn't find a reason for many things, so she could only grit her teeth in denial.
On the other side of the punishment, the Cui family members, especially those cronies, are being tortured. Many things Cao Zhihuang said have been confirmed, and more things have been dug up.
In Zhuomai, when Yue Ting was non-stop, it really fryed outside.
The first assistant, Huang Liji, entered the palace overnight, begging to see Zhu Youjian.
Huang Liji stood in front of Zhu Youjian, with a solemn expression on his skinny face, and said, "Your Majesty, Cui Chengxiu is an veteran of the Four Dynasties. He is dedicated to his work, and there is no credit..."
"Credit? Is this the credit you said?" Zhu Youzhen looked ugly, and threw a memo book directly over it.
Huang Liji had experienced four emperors, and he was the first emperor to be so rude to him.
There was no expression on Huang Liji’s skinny face. He picked it up and looked at it, frowning and frowning, and said: "Your Majesty, these testimonies have not been verified yet, how can I decreed to arrest Cui Chengxiu? The ruling and the opposition will inevitably become anxious, and all officials will be in panic all day long..."
Zhu Youzhen has long been uncomfortable with Huang Liji, and said indifferently: "You are the first assistant, tell me, how true or false is the confession?"
Huang Liji said, "Your Majesty, the veteran believes that it is not a question of how true or false it is now, but the arbitrary arrest of Cui Chengxiu will cause panic among the government and the public. …"
Zhu Youjian listened, his indifferent expression was a little weird. Is this asking me to confess my mistake to the Manchu civil and military
Standing not far from Zhu Youxian's side, Wang Chengen raised his head and glanced at Huang Liji.
Huang Liji didn't feel anything wrong with him, and continued: "Your Majesty, the cabinet is now piled up like a mountain, and half of the six and nine temples are vacant. Once Cui Chengxiu is imprisoned, the courtiers will definitely be more unwilling to be public and fearful. The ministers ask your Majesty to serve the country. Concerned, for courtiers, handle them cautiously..."
Zhu Youjian endured the anger in his heart and said: "My will has been decided, no need to say more."
Huang Liji looked at Zhu Youjian's forbearance, suddenly coughed twice, covered his mouth with his fists for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been feeling cold and unwell recently. Please allow the old minister to take a few days off."
Zhu Youzhen's face became stiff, his eyes widened, and he said, "You said, you want to take a leave?"
Huang Liji lowered his head and said, "Please allow your majesty to allow it."
Zhu Youjian's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. He didn't know if he was staying up late or because of anger, his teeth clucked and said, "No!"
Huang Liji slowly kneeled to the ground and said: "Please also your Majesty be sympathetic to the veterans. The cabinet affairs are complicated, and the veterans are old and frail. They really have more than enough energy."
Zhu Youjian was angrily wishing to kill Huang Liji now. Huang Liji made it clear that he was going to pick up his son and forced him to let Cui Chengxiu go.
The cabinet is now supported by Huang Liji. If he becomes an official, the cabinet will be suspended, and national politics will inevitably be abolished!
And because of the merits of support, Huang Liji is the leader of the ruling and opposition parties. If he "takes leave", many people will follow.
Coupled with Cui Chengxiu's arrest, the castration party must be in a state of anxiety. I don't know how much trouble it will be. Without Huang Liji in front, would it be possible for him, the emperor, to charge into battle and face the ruling and opposition storms
Looking at Huang Liji who was kneeling on the ground, Zhu Youzhen couldn't tell what it was like. For the first time, he really felt that this emperor was really difficult to do, and these courtiers were really disgusting!
Zhu Youzhen thought about it, still helpless, slapped the table, got up and walked away.
Wang Chengen was taken aback, and hurriedly followed.
Huang Liji watched Zhu Youzhen walk away angrily, his expression unchanged, still kneeling on the spot.
I don't know how long it took, Li Zhong walked in, sighed in his heart, and said: "Yuanfu, the emperor wants you to go back."
Huang Li seemed to have expected it earlier, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After that, he stood up tremblingly, as if he was really ill, and slowly turned and left.
The sky was still dark, all the minds of Liubujiu Temple all wrote to "resign leave", and Zhou Yingqiu, Xu Dahua, Wu Chunfu and others wrote to "return to beggars". (End of this chapter)
