120, Wu Sangui is suddenly proud, Emperor Chongzhen is for you
After Wu Sangui walked out of the palace gate, he suddenly burst into laughter.
This smile made his subordinates confused, and some people couldn't help but say, "Why is the lord laughing?"
Wu Sangui said proudly: "I am laughing at the prince's stupidity."
The subordinates became more and more confused: "Ah?"
Everyone looked suspiciously at Wu Sangui, who looked a little reborn, and was a little doubtful if this lord was too stimulating and was a little crazy.
Wu Sangui smiled and didn't explain, but he felt scheming in his heart.
As we all know, civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were never afraid of the emperor, and even took pride in quarreling with the emperor. This was mainly to limit the imperial power and gain more power for the official class.
Therefore, once the emperor makes any mistakes, the censors will pounce on them like mad dogs and bite them, and submit memorials to criticize the emperor.
If a censor can force the emperor to admit his mistake, then this person will immediately become famous. If he doesn't say he is the best minister in the future, he will be stable in his success.
For example, the famous Lord Hai Rui!
If the emperor wants to do this, let alone the prince, he must be a human being with his tail between his legs.
But Zhu Cilang is not a prince who is a man with his tail between his legs, but a very high-profile prince.
Of course, like Zhu Cixuan was fighting for the Ming Dynasty before, then it was high-profile. The censors also knew that the life and death of the Ming Dynasty was related to Zhu Cixuan, and the two censors Li Banghua and Shi Bangyao were suppressed. Naturally, no one dared to say that Zhu Cixuan was not.
But today is different.
Zhu Cixuan openly drew his gun in the palace and violated the imperial edict and refused to be arrested. This is a violation of the rules.
Moreover, the target of his refusal to arrest was Fang Gongqian, a eunuch and the eunuch who dominated the East Factory!
Dongchang and Jinyiwei are all things that the civil servants hate the most because they are the shackles imposed by the emperor on the civil servants.
Not to mention eunuchs, the officials hope that the decentralization organization composed of eunuchs, which is composed of eunuchs, will disappear immediately.
Now that something happened to a eunuch who is the governor of the East Factory, how could the censors remain indifferent?
In addition, the situation of the Ming Dynasty has improved significantly, and Li Zicheng has been beaten back to Henan. Everyone does not need to take the overall situation into consideration and can continue to fight for power and profit.
Next, all Wu Sangui had to do was to find a few censors, then connect his connections in the court, and impeach Zhu Cixuan together!
"As long as you collect some more evidence and make some confessions, the prince will never argue!"
When Wu Sangui thought of this, the smile on his face became more and more wanton!
Prince, Prince, do you think you won?
You are still too young.
Things like reckless men cannot be used in the Ming Dynasty!
Wu Sangui dusted the ashes on his body, whistled, and walked home happily.
On the other hand, Zhu Cilang also came to Fengtian Hall.
At the door, he met the British Duke.
Zhu Cixuan ignored Wang Chengen on the side and directly pulled the British Duke aside: "Old Zhang, tell me, do you understand what this situation is?"
The British Duke touched his head and whispered: "What's wrong with Your Highness the Prince?"
Zhu Cixuan said: "Just just now, Wu Sangui wanted to come and catch Fang Gongqian, but was beaten away by our palace."
"Have you beaten away?" The British Duke's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he subconsciously glanced at the pistol on Zhu Cixuan's waist.
He still knows Zhu Cilang's personality quite well.
The British Duke took a deep breath and said softly: "Your Highness, Wu Sangui may be trying to make trouble for you behind his back. The old minister also heard some rumors last night."
Zhu Cixuan glanced at the British Duke and said, "Where are you standing on?"
The British Duke slapped his chest: "Your Highness, Prince, you will ask this extra. Of course I will stand by your side!"
Zhu Cilang laughed: "Okay, I'll feel relieved if I have you."
Wang Chengen on the side couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, hurry up and go in, Your Majesty is still waiting. By the way, Duke of England, please wait for a moment and rest in the side hall first. Your Majesty wants to meet Your Majesty alone."
Zhu Cilang was not panicked, nodded to the British Duke, and then walked into the imperial study openly.
Chongzhen sat inside, with a mountain of memorials in front of him, and was staring blankly at a memorial, or thinking.
Zhu Cilang said: "Father, my son is here."
Chongzhen then came to his senses and smiled: "Come on, sit down."
Zhu Cixuan sat down on the side and went straight to the point: "Father, what's wrong with Wu Sangui? He arrested many Erchen last night. Today, he became even more serious. He even arrested people and even arrested people at the gate of Erchen's palace!"
Faced with Zhu Cilang's questioning, Chongzhen was also a little guilty and secretly scolded Wu Sangui, a guy who couldn't do anything.
If you want to arrest someone, just arrest him. Why was he discovered?
Now, I want me to help you cleanse it. I am such an incompetent person.
Chongzhen calmed down and spoke slowly: "There are actually some things involved, but I can't tell you for a while. Wanger, be at ease. When I ask Wu Sangui to find out the truth of the matter, you will know."
Chongzhen still planned to fool him and prevent Zhu Cixuan from knowing about it for the time being.
Because Chongzhen felt that Zhu Cilang was pulling his gun because of his disagreement. If he really knew, Wu Sangui's investigation would basically not be able to continue.
Seeing this, Zhu Ciyang muttered more and more, "Is this cheap dad going to attack me?"
But it is impossible to think about it. Everything Zhu Cixuan did during this period was for the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was the biggest beneficiary. In addition, Chongzhen just gave Zhu Cixuan such great power not long ago, no matter how he looked, it didn't seem like Chongzhen was going to attack Zhu Cixuan.
Zhu Cixuan suddenly understood and said, "Father, isn't this guy Wu Sangui talking nonsense in front of you again and slandering his son-in-law?"
After thinking about it, this is the only possibility.
After Zhu Cilang finished speaking, a hint of panic flashed across Chongzhen's face, but it was immediately covered up.
Chongzhen said seriously: "No, no, you can rest assured. I am your father, of course everything I do is for your own good."
Chongzhen thought that this time, Wu Sangui was to help find out who was accusing Zhu Cilang, which of course was beneficial to Zhu Cilang but it was not harmful to him.
Zhu Cilang took Chongzhen's expression in his eyes and had already fully understood the whole story.
To put it bluntly, it was Wu Sangui's grandson who was causing trouble behind the scenes and wanted to plot against me.
Then this father...well, judging from the classic quote "I'm all for your own good", he should have been fooled by Wu Sangui.
Zhu Cilang pointed to the point: "Father, you can't believe Wu Sangui. This person has always held a grudge against his son's seizure of his military power and wanted to take revenge on his son's minister. If everything is left to him to investigate, the final result is likely to be that he said on the surface that he wanted to find out the injustice for his son's minister, but secretly used the imperial edict you gave him to fabricate a lot of black materials, and finally achieved the result of slandering or even overthrowing his son's minister."
Zhu Ciyang’s historical novels in his previous life were not for nothing. All kinds of routines in political struggle have long been written by the authors, and they are very familiar.
After hearing Zhu Cilang's words, Chongzhen was also stunned for a moment.
It seems to make sense.
After a brief hesitation, Chongzhen said: "Anyway, go back first. Don't you still have to train your prince's personal army? I will ask someone to allocate a batch of equipment to your personal army later. As for your arrested subordinates, I will also tell Wu Sangui that as long as it is true that the matter has nothing to do with them, they will be released immediately."
Zhu Cilang was speechless after hearing Chongzhen's words.
It seems that this father was really fooled by Wu Sangui, at least he could not save him for the time being.
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang in Zhu Cilang's mind.
"The sign-in location is triggered, please go to Wu Sangui's study to sign in to trigger the counterattack task against Wu Sangui, and there is no limit on time."
Zhu Cilang's eyes suddenly lit up.
It is indeed a system, and it is reliable at critical moments.
Needless to think about it, there must be something in Wu Sangui's study that can make Zhu Cilang defeat Wu Sangui's attack in one fell swoop!
The most important thing is that this time the check-in task is not limited, so there is a lot of room for operation.
Zhu Cilang's eyes rolled and he stood up: "Since the father insisted on doing this, then the son will surrender."
After saying that, Zhu Cilang bowed to Chongzhen, turned around and left.
Anyway, we can't convince Chongzhen anymore. Then we can just tell the evidence and just do it.
After watching Zhu Cixuan leave, Chongzhen was also a little stunned: "Yan'er, are you leaving now?"
After leaving before the matter was resolved, Chongzhen felt that Zhu Cilang seemed to be different from his impression.
This made Chongzhen feel a little uneasy, so he called Wang Chengen: "Send someone to watch the prince, don't let the prince run to Wu Sangui to cause trouble. If you have any problems, you must report it to me immediately. Also, the Dongchang will also pass on an order to let all the Dongchang men stay for me and not affect Wu Sangui's investigation!"
In Chongzhen's view, what Zhu Cilang wanted to do was nothing more than just going to Wu Sangui's mansion directly or using the East Factory.
If you block both roads, you should be foolproof.
After Wang Chengen left, Chongzhen also breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.
"Yan'er, you are still young and too impulsive. You don't know that doing things like you will cause disgust among the people and will not help you take over the throne in the future. This time I will give you a lesson to let you know how the emperor solved the matter. You can learn a little in the future. You can't charge forward in everything and fight head-on with the ministers, which will make you even falsely accused you of anyone!"
Chongzhen took a long time to take stock of it and felt that things should be foolproof. Finally, he felt relieved and smiled.
"Come on, let's announce the British Duke. Mr. Fan and others are here too? Then let them come in together."
