156 The Crowd and Attack

When I heard that the emperor was about to come to the court, all the civil officials became active. OK, so many memorials were handed over, and finally it worked!

At least in the eyes of these civil officials, the emperor's visit to the court this time was the result of their unremitting efforts. During the waiting period of the Meridian Gate, those who had written memorials held their heads and chests up. When they saw their colleagues whom they knew or didn't know would take the initiative to say hello, just like they had won a battle, and they would almost say that they were making direct advice and dared to serve the king!

After a set of procedures, the emperor took his seat, the quiet whip sounded, and the eunuch's unique voice made an opening remark: "If you have a book to start, you will leave the court without any trouble!"

As soon as the words were finished, a bunch of coughs suddenly sounded below. Many civil officials took the initiative to leave and shouted: "I have a plan to report!"

Seeing so many people fighting for the report, these civil servants all knew each other and then looked at Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty who was standing in front, with obvious hostility.

Hu Guang didn't sleep all night, with blood in his eyes. Fortunately, he was young and could not stand it. When he saw so many officials rushing to report, he had to suppress his impatientness and let them talk first.

"I risk my life to advise you directly, beg your Majesty to be the precepts of Emperor Tianqi in the past. If your Majesty is obsessed with such rough work as a bricklayer and ignores the affairs of the court, there will be treacherous ministers in the court. I am aware of this, and the heaven and earth can be seen. Please think twice!" Shandong Dao Censor Sun Li said loudly, saying the righteousness was so righteous that he was ready to die, and he pointed the spearhead directly at the emperor himself.

At least this is very reasonable on the surface, and people can't find any flaws. Hu Guang frowned and shouted immediately: "I have a reason for doing things. You have been worried too much!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw another Henan censor Zhao Qian standing next to Sun Li and immediately responded and said, "Your Majesty, I risk my life to impeach the powerful Ming Dynasty minister Wen Tiren. He accepted bribes, promoted his confidants, suppressed Yi, and regarded the court's public goods as his own property. He was extremely guilty and should be punished severely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five or six people immediately agreed: "I will discuss it!"

It seemed that in just one moment, Wen Tiren became the target of public criticism and became the public enemy of the people.

Zuodu Censor Cao Yubian stood in the queue. Although he had no expression on his face, he secretly looked at Wen Tiren in front of him and sneered in his heart. This was just an appetizer!

After hearing this, Hu Guang turned his head and looked at Wen Tiren. Seeing that he was bowing to listen to the ginseng, he turned around and asked coldly, "Is there any evidence?"

"Your Majesty, please send someone to Wen's Mansion to check. The sedan chairs of officials who visited him have been lined up to the end of the street!"

"Also, the cabinet is the secret place of the court. All the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet are highly respected and capable ministers who are convinced by everyone. But Wen Tiren uses His Majesty's trust to promote his confidants, and arbitrarily appoints the villagers, Wei Ni and others to fill them, and regard the court's laws and regulations as nothing. How can such a treacherous person be the leader of all officials? I beg Your Majesty to punish him severely!"

“…”

The assistant ministers Cheng Jiming and Zhou Yanru and others behind Wen Tiren were gloating. They only became the chief minister for a few days and were bitten by those dogs. Even if there was nothing to do for the time being, they would definitely lose some of the emperor's trust. If you come a few more times, you should move the position! The newly promoted assistant minister Zhang Zhifa looked up at the chief minister and the emperor from time to time, obviously a little uneasy.

Seeing the ministers below excitedly and generously, Hu Guang couldn't help but sneer in his heart. No wonder Wen Tiren seemed to have done nothing in history. Just dealing with these open and hidden arrows would probably have consumed his energy. Party struggles without principles and are not within the control range are really unsuccessful!

He didn't speak, staring coldly at the people who were talking righteously.

Gradually, these censors realized something was wrong. Logically speaking, even if the emperor did not believe it, he should express his opinion and ask Wen Tiren to defend himself. But the emperor did not speak and the subsequent process did not go through. Wouldn't the preparation for Wen Tiren's self-defense?

Some things are actually impossible to defend themselves. Especially some vague things, such as the fact that there are so many officials queuing up at the gate of Wen’s mansion, people will say that you only saw a few secretly and accepted bribes, such as Zhang Zhifa. Otherwise, how could you recommend him, a person with insufficient qualifications, to become an assistant?

Even if there is no bribe, you will definitely reach some shameful deal. Anyway, there are ghosts in it. First, you will ruin your reputation as Wen Tiren. Even if you are useless and come a few more times, you will definitely step down!

With such a wishful thinking, the emperor did not cooperate and stared at him coldly. The censors slowly stopped talking, and the scene finally became quiet.

At this time, Hu Guang finally broke out and shouted loudly: "I said it is a fact. Are you not understanding or deaf? Where is the evidence of human evidence? If you don't have these, you will attack the prime minister. Who gives you the courage? Are you talking nonsense to deceive the emperor? Do you think I can fool me?"

No one expected that the emperor would defend Wen Tiren so much, pointing at these censors, and saying it was very heavy, which made some people's cold sweat suddenly flow. However, the new assistant Zhang Zhifa secretly wiped the sweat, looked at the chief minister in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, I heard the emperor sitting on it shouting coldly: "I will give you another chance to give you a proof, and I should deal with it impartially. But if there is no proof, it is a false statement that is deceiving the king, and I will never let it go!"

Facing Long Yan's furiousness, Sun Li, Zhao Qian and others' faces changed. It was obviously impossible to ask them to provide evidence. Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry again, Zhao Qian argued a little timidly: "As the censor, I have the right to report the news. Although there is no evidence at present, I am still collecting it!"

When Hu Guang heard this, he immediately sneered: "That means, you are attacking the prime minister wantonly without any evidence? Are you trying to let me believe you and deal with the prime minister? You are too brave. I really think I am so easy to deceive? Someone comes!"

The imperial guards immediately stepped forward to obey the order: "Here!"

Judging from this posture, the emperor wanted to severely punish these censors who attacked the chief minister Wen Tiren. Suddenly, the civil servants and generals who did not leave the list were all a little scared.

Sun Li, Zhao Qian and others were furious when they faced Thunder, and were also shocked and panicked, and they all looked at Zuo Du Censor.

Cao Yubian didn't expect that the emperor would defend Wen Tiren so much. It was a bit surprising that no one believed so many charges. Fortunately, the emperor emphasized the evidence, so he was still calm in his heart. However, if he didn't stand up at this time, his few of his bad kids would be unable to be saved.

Therefore, Cao Yubian also coughed at this moment and said, "The old minister also has a memorial to report, which is related to the chief assistant, and may prove it!"

When Hu Guang heard this, he sneered in his heart. You old fox, finally got into battle with bare shirt. I am just waiting for you!

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted coldly: "Tell me!"
