When he went to court, Zhu Cheng was a little depressed. The civil and military officials regarded him as a god of plague and were afraid of being avoided.

When passing Jinshui Bridge, there were people, east and west, arranged in the grade, walking over in sequence. Wherever Zhu Cheng stood, the officials from wherever he was kept two feet away. Zhu Cheng was very entertained and walked forward a few steps. The officials in front quickly walked faster; Zhu Cheng slowed down, but the officials behind him also quickly slowed down. In this way, the originally neat team became a little confused.

The censor who was in charge of inspecting the minister's appearance shouted: "Don't play when you go to court."

Zhu Cheng was very innocent and spread his hands, pointing to the front and back. When the censor saw that it was Zhu Cheng, he stopped talking.

When he arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, after a complicated process, the Censor Fang Kezhuang jumped out and started to speak: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Zhu Cheng, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei."

Emperor Tianqi asked knowingly: "What's the matter?"

Fang Kezhuang put on a righteous and stern pose and said, "The day before yesterday, Zhu Cheng, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, jumped into the window and killed 14 loyal servants of Li Wentong, stripped Li Wentong naked and tied him to four naked rooms."

Emperor Tianqi pretended to be shocked and said, "There is such a thing, Zhu Cheng, what do you have to say?"

Zhu Cheng said: "Emperor Taizu Gao stipulated that the Censor could report the news, which is his power. Since it was reported, we can act like he had released something. Although it was an injustice, it also changed the smell of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. But I am a lot of people, so let it go."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help laughing and laughed loudly. The ministers couldn't help laughing, and they laughed so hard that they leaned back and forth.

Fang Kezhuang was so angry that his face was so blushed that he could drip bleeding, so he swung his fist and smashed it at Zhu Cheng.

Emperor Tianqi was shocked, and Wei Zhongxian's face changed drastically. Fang Kezhuang's physique was just like his name, and this punch was not a joke.

Zhu Cheng kept paying attention to Fang Kezhuang. Seeing him moving, he knew that this person was too rude and was not satisfied with talking, so he changed his hand.

Zhu Cheng gave way to the side and hooked his feet. Fang Kezhuang was unstable and fell to the ground.

Fang Kezhuang got up and wanted to attack Zhu Cheng again, but was reacted to the imperial guards to control him.

Emperor Tianqi was furious and shouted: "Fang Kezhuang, you openly attacked the ministers in the court. Do you still have a king or a law in your eyes? Just drag Fang Kezhuang down with one hundred sticks."

Emperor Tianqi asked Zhu Cheng again: "Brother Cheng, are you okay?"

Zhu Cheng said: "It's okay, fortunately, I've been training with those soldiers over the years, and my hands and feet are a lot more neat, otherwise it would be really bad."

The voice of "Cheng Brother" shocked all the ministers. Then they remembered that Zhu Cheng had been accepted as the grandson of Emperor Shenzong Xian and became brothers with Emperor Tianqi. The unique arrogance of the scholars and officials and the common dissent of the Donglin Party made them even more angry with Zhu Cheng. They believed that Zhu Cheng was a treacherous villain and the culprit of blinding the holy hearing. They strengthened their determination to clear the emperor. When would they wait for him if they did not take him down in this matter?

The Censor cut off the finger and heard the news: "The Censor's Room Kezhuang beat the imperial officials on the Golden Palace, and he deserves to be punished for death. However, what he said was not groundless, but was indeed true."

Emperor Tianqi said, "Oh, Zhu Cheng, what are you explaining?"

Zhu Cheng said: "Since there is evidence, take it out and see where it is."

The Donglin Party was prepared for a long time, so the Censor ordered people to go outside the palace to bring Li Wentong in.

As soon as Li Wentong entered the hall, he cried to the ground, as if Meng Jiangnu cried to the Great Wall.

Li Wentong's crying was too lethal, and Emperor Tianqi and Zhu Cheng both covered their ears. Wei Zhongxian winked at the two guards. The guard lifted Li Wentong, took out a rag from somewhere, and stuffed it into his mouth. Li Wentong couldn't cry anymore and could only scream "whimper".

The civil and military officials in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they were so comfortable now. However, they immediately remembered their positions and were indignant.

Zuo Guangdou made a troupe to start the remarks: "Your Majesty, why did you block the witness's mouth? Do you want to cover up Zhu Cheng?"

Zhu Cheng followed the remarks and said, "I ask the emperor to punish Lord Zuo Guangdou for going to the palace to slander the king."

Zuo Guangdou felt that the monk was confused and he had slandered the king. He said angrily: "Zhu Cheng, don't slander people!"

Zhu Cheng said slowly, "Master Zuo clearly understands that, first, the one who blocks the spout of this Ming Dynasty's No. 1 water sprayer was Wei Zhongxian, not the emperor; second, the purpose of blocking his mouth was not for Zhu, but for the nobles present. Don't you think this king's crying hurts the heavens?"

Zuo Guangdou nodded unconsciously.

Emperor Tianqi said: "Since Zuo Guangdou agrees with Zhu Cheng's impeachment and is convicted, then... then you will be fined for one month."

The salary of the Ming Dynasty was very low, and there were very few Ming officials who relied on their salary to make a living. The salary fine was just a painless punishment, but the punishment was a punishment after all, and it meant that you had made a mistake.

Zuo Guangdou is really a straight minister. He nodded and said, "If I say something wrong, I should be punished. But when can I let Li Wentong speak?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "When will Li Wentong stop crying and howling, and when will our family let him speak. Everyone heard it, his crying will cost human life."

When Li Wentong heard this, he blinked and nodded again, wanting to tell everyone that he pretended to be crying and could be taken back at any time. He quickly took off the thing that blocked his mouth. This thing was taken out from somewhere, and the smell was really not satisfactory.

The Donglin Party did not know what Li Wentong's eyes meant, and they thought he couldn't hold back his tears.

Gao Panlong stepped forward and comforted him, "Nephew, no one can be resurrected when he dies. You must be mournful and follow the changes."

Gu Dazhang, the Minister of Rites, pushed him away and said, "I'm not dead yet. I'm so sad and so do whatever I want. I'm so happy. I'm so happy to hear me. Now that the emperor is the one who takes the lead, you must not cry in the Golden Palace, just make it clear. If you want to cry, go home, cry as long as you like."

Wang Wenyan, the secretary of the cabinet, also came over to persuade, "You Uncle Gu speaks straightforwardly, but this is the reason. You don't know, when you cry, I also want to use a rag to block your mouth. Your crying is so terrifying that it's really heart-wrenching. There are the emperor and many of them, and many of them are your father's old friends. You must turn grief into strength and expose the evil people who harmed you. Listen to me, stop crying, okay?"

Li Wentong nodded quickly.

Gao Panlong shouted to Wei Zhongxian: "Hey, who? Li Wentong said he won't cry anymore, why don't you let Mr. Li go quickly?"

Gao Panlong claimed to be a humble gentleman and was very polite to anyone, but he called and drank to the eunuchs and did not treat them as human beings. These Donglin Party members were basically like this, as if the more fierce the eunuchs were, the more loyal the eunuchs were. Little did he know that Zhang Juzheng, the most capable minister of the Ming Dynasty, had a very good relationship with the eunuchs. If this were not the case, many of Zhang Juzheng's political measures would not be supported by the palace.

Wei Zhongxian was angry, so he deliberately delayed and observed Li Wentong for a long time before he let the guards let him go.

Li Wentong pulled off the rag from his mouth and threw it on the ground, gasping for breath.

The guard next to him suddenly yelled: "Isn't this my wife's socks? I'm finished, and I'm going to be scolded to death by her."

The guard said, picking up the socks without thinking they were dirty and stuffing them into his arms.

Although the guard's voice was low, Li Wentong just heard it. At this moment, Li Wentong felt disgusted and churn out all the breakfast, and he vomited gorgeously.

Seeing this, all the ministers covered their noses.

Emperor Apocalypse turned around and did not look at the dirty things on the ground.

Wei Zhongxian muttered, "This is your nephew."

Gao Panlong and others blushed. Li Sancai was a very good person, so why did he give birth to such a son? He is such a hero and a bastard.

The eunuch from Zhidianjian hurried over to clean the house. After a while of trouble, the court recovered as before.
