Chapter 144 Zhou Jianzong goes to prison again

In fact, Zhu Xu did not participate much in Xiong Tingbi's incident, except for talking to Wei Zhongxian and writing letters to Sun Chengzong.

There must be no problem with Wei Zhongxian, so it is Sun Chengzong.

Zhu Xu thought something and thought to himself, "It seems that the party struggle has not completely lost the loyalty of this Lord Sun, and he is still rational enough."

Although the letter may fall into Zhu Youxiao's hands, there are no taboos in his letter, and he is not worried about anything. However, this incident still exposed one of his major weaknesses, that is, his lack of understanding of court officials and lack of understanding of party disputes. Once it involves court affairs, every move is very easy to reveal flaws.

Queen Zhang should be worried that Zhu Xu would do something extraordinary, and hopes that someone around him can guide him correctly.

Zhu Xu thought for a long time, then looked up and said seriously: "Everything is arranged by the emperor's sister-in-law."

Queen Zhang smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, give me some peace before the New Year. No matter what happens outside, come to me if you are embarrassed. Don't do it nonsense."

Zhu Xu recovered and agreed with a smile.

After staying for half an hour, Zhu Xu sighed.

There was really no one in the late Ming Dynasty who was in peace. Zhu Youxiao could not, the queen could not, and he, a worthless prince, could not.

At the same time, he rushed to the capital from Hengzhou Prefecture for 800 miles and entered the Tongzheng Envoy Department.

This memorandum is an impeachment memorandum of Hengzhou Prefecture, and the culprit of the mine supervision almanac was reported at the same time. The Hengzhou Prefecture recently caused civil rebellion because of the mine supervision being too strict, and two county governments have been occupied by rebels and rebels, and the situation is still expanding.

When the Tongzheng Envoy Department saw that it did not dare to delay at all, it sent it to the cabinet. The cabinet also hurriedly planned to send it to the Ministry of Lishu, but it soon arrived at Zhu Youxiao's desk.

This comment naturally gave Zhu Youxiao a headache, but the headache was just beginning.

In the Censorate, the Censor Wang Si looked at Zhou Jianzong angrily and almost shouted, "Mr. Zhou, the mining supervision is a harsh policy. We should try our best to stop it in order to ask the emperor to change his mind and withdraw these internal supervision!"

The same censor Fang Daren also angrily said, "Yes, this internal surveillance has established a name and is extremely restrained. It is impossible to punish local officials. It will lead to civil rebellion. Could it be that we can only sit idly by and ignore it!"

Zhou Jianzong's face turned pale and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the culprit is not the internal surveillance, but Wei Sheng. Since he was the admiration of the East Factory, the mining tax has increased more than doubled. The eunuch has become more arrogant and no one can control it! If we want to eliminate the roots, we have to remove Wei Zhongxian first!"

"Yes, Brother Zhou, why don't we take this opportunity to write a letter to impeach Wei Zhongxian. We must let the emperor imprison him and punish him. We must never let him chaotic politics!"

"In addition, we should contact the court officials and argue with reason on the court's discussion!"

Zhou Jianzong agreed deeply and immediately wrote a memorial and handed it to the Tongzheng Envoy Department.

Of course, these three people were filled with righteous indignation. Wei Zhongxian was originally a powder keg, and the mining supervisor was also a thorn in Qingliu's side. In addition, it caused a civil rebellion. The transcripts of the Tongzheng Envoy Department increased by hundreds of copies in just one hour.

Inside the Sili Supervisor, Wei Zhongxian looked at the memorials, his face was cold and his eyes were pounding.

Especially Zhou Jianzong's memorial, he read that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

In the memorial, Zhou Jianzong compared him to the eunuch Liu Jin of the previous dynasty, saying that he was a disaster to the country and the people, and demanded that he be reprimanded immediately, and even accused him of being the source of disaster for the people and the source of all disasters.

The censor Guo Gong looked at Wei Zhongxian's expression and said coldly, "Dadfather-in-law, Zhou Jianzong and his group of people are protecting and recommending Xiong Tingbi. They are treacherous and slandering the country and the people. I will go back and contact my colleagues to write a letter to impeach him and argue for you!"

Other gangs and a group of eunuchs shouted that with the previous victory and the emperor's trust returned little by little, they had a certain confidence.

Wei Zhongxian's face turned cold, and a gloomy look appeared, and said in a deep voice: "Impulse Zhou Jianzong and argue for us, but Xiong Tingbi cannot be involved!"

Guo Gong and others were stunned. Why couldn't Xiong Tingbi be involved? But this did not affect their counterattack. They agreed and began to think about their own counterattack methods.

Wei Zhongxian waited for these people to leave and went straight to Jingyang Palace.

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground and cried loudly to Zhu Youxiao, "Emperor, the local area is rich in fat and worth countless millions of dollars. Once the emperor pays a little tax to facilitate the people, the local area will ask for silver to pacify. If you go back and forth, you will never get tired of it! The deficit is not the national treasury, but your treasury!"

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face.

Today's civil unrest cannot make Zhu Youxiao feel nervous or angry, but he cannot tolerate the fact that the local government uses this method to deceive him and lose his treasury! ""

"The order is passed, Zhou Jianzong, Fang Daren, Wang Si is imprisoned, and the trial is strictly investigated!" Zhu Youxiao shouted coldly.

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground, his eyes flashed with a sinister look, and he kowtowed, "I will receive the order!"

Soon, the Nei Guan Guan Sun Jin led the Dongchang staff and rushed into Zhou Jianzong's home directly and forcibly banned Zhou Jianzong.

Zhou Jianzong was upright and upright, not afraid at all. Standing in front of the gate, he angrily scolded, "The eunuch party is afraid of justice and harms the country and the people. I am honest and upright, and I am not afraid of being petty!"

Sun Jin stood there with his hands in his arms. Behind him was a middle-aged man in his thirties in his brocade clothes, staring at Zhou Jianzong coldly, and said with bloody eyes, "Hmph, I just like people like you!"

After the Zhou Mansion was investigated, Sun Jin raised his hand and said, "Tian Qianhu, I have two eunuchs who have to go there. I'm sorry to take this person to the Beizhen Fushi Prison."

Tian Ergeng smiled brightly, but he was ferocious and said, "Eunuch Sun walked slowly, I promise you that within three days, even if he had worked on the belly of a concubine last night, I could ask clearly!"

Sun Jin laughed and said, "Okay, I will tell Eunuch Wei when I go back and talk to Eunuch Wei, and I will not forget Tian Qianhu's contribution."

Tian Ergeng hurriedly thanked and took Zhou Jianzong straight to the Beizhen Fushi Prison.

At this moment, Luo Mansion.

Luo Yangxing respectfully knelt in front of Luo Sigong's bed, looking sad and bowed his head.

Luo Sigong's face was old, covered with age spots, his eyes were turbid, and he seemed to be seriously ill and dying.

Luo Yangxing looked up at Luo Sigong's face and said softly, "Father, what else should I explain? I'll listen to your instructions."

Luo Sigong was so angry that he still insisted on saying, "Three things, first: be loyal to the emperor and listen to King Hui. The second thing: perform his duties conscientiously. The third thing: stay out of the matter."

Luo Yangxing listened to Luo Sigong's words, and the last two sentences were very strange, but he still kowtowed: "I'm sure to listen to my father's words, please rest assured."

Luo Sigong nodded slightly and slowly closed his eyes.
