Zhu Youxiao looked at this person and found that this person was actually a censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although this person looked familiar, Zhu Youxiao didn't recognize him.

You must know that although the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has relatively heavy powers and responsibilities, his rank is not high. According to the rank of the censor, he is not qualified to participate in this kind of court meeting.

But there is a special thing about the censor, which can be regarded as preferential treatment. That is, whenever the censor wants to impeach someone, he can report it to the superior. After getting permission, he will have the opportunity to participate in the court meeting.

This is not an impeachment with a written question, but an impeachment in the main hall in front of His Majesty, which is much more intense than the written question.

Zhu Youxiao was not surprised. Things were normal from the beginning of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now the Ming Dynasty's regular means of struggle is impeachment.

Nodding slightly, Zhu Youxiao said: "Okay, tell me what you have to say!"

At this time, Wang An, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, said softly beside Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, this person is the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. His name is Zhang Yingdao. He is a student of Liu Yijing, the chief assistant scholar of the cabinet."

Zhu Youxiao nodded gently, feeling confident.

Turning his head to look at Wang An, Zhu Youxiao also had a smile on his face.

I have to say that this Wang An is still very capable, and his work ability and eyesight are much better than Chen Hong.

It's a pity that Wang An is a member of the Donglin Party, so I can't get too close to him for the time being.

"I want to impeach Zhao Nanxing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry." Zhang Yingdao said,

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Yingdao expressionlessly, then turned to look at Zhao Nanxing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

In fact, the progress of the matter still surprised Zhu Youxiao. He did not expect that the two sides would fight with real swords and guns.

He glanced at the old god Liu Yijing below, and didn't expect that if he didn't take action, it would be earth-shattering.

In fact, Liu Yijing had no choice. The imperial edict sent by His Majesty two days ago was too obvious, which was to let him kill the Donglin Party.

I don't have a choice yet. Since I have no choice, I can't look forward or backward.

Although I didn’t have a choice, I had actually made a choice, but I didn’t make this choice myself.

Now that you have made your choice, simply get things done to the end. Shirking and hesitating will only make His Majesty dissatisfied.

Therefore, Liu Yijing directly asked his student Zhang Yingdao to come forward to impeach Zhao Nanxing this time, and he also did it for everyone to see.

One meaning is to warn those who sit on the fence in the DPRK, letting them know that if they continue to be on the fence, they will only die more miserably.

Liu Yijing wanted to tell them: I, the chief bachelor of the cabinet, have already stood up to the stage and made my plans. If you don't follow me, then you are the enemy.

There are no neutralists or federalists. This is what Liu Yijing meant.

In addition, there is a second meaning, that is, it is for the emperor Zhu Youxiao to see.

I'm not going to hide anymore. If you ask me to do it, I will do it with all my strength.

In fact, Liu Yijing's approach really made Zhu Youxiao very happy.

The emperor would certainly like it if his ministers did things for themselves without any reservation.

Although this minister was forced, as long as he dared to move forward, it didn't matter how he got there.

"Impeach Zhao Nanxing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry?" Zhu Youxiao looked hesitant and said slowly: "Zhao Aiqing has always been cautious and worked tirelessly for the country. He can be said to be a model official. Why do you want to impeach him?"

Zhu Youxiao protected Zhao Nanxing, which no one expected.

But when one person heard all this, his heart moved. This person was Liu Yijing.

Your Majesty does not want to take any responsibility.

Liu Yijing didn't believe that His Majesty would protect Zhao Nanxing. What His Majesty is doing now is nothing more than to demonstrate his benevolence and generosity, and at the same time let everyone know that His Majesty trusts the ministers in the DPRK.

In other words, this bad guy completely let himself do it,

Thinking of this, Liu Yijing glanced at Zhang Yingdao and nodded calmly.

Zhang Yingdao took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are many ministers in the court who deceive the saints. These people often appear to be benevolent and virtuous, but secretly they are cliques and corrupt officials. They appear to be the pillars of the country, but are actually the traitors of the country.

!”

After these words came out, needles could be heard throughout the hall.

No one expected that Zhang Yingdao would be so cruel.

This immediately branded Zhao Nanxing as a traitor!

And this is too cruel, saying that Zhao Nanxing appears to be benevolent and moral, but secretly he is corrupt and deceives the emperor.

Zhao Nanxing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was standing on one side, had a complexion as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He never expected that the other party would target him.

In fact, although he has real power, his status in the entire Donglin Party is not that high, and he is not usually very high-profile.

In comparison, the more high-profile person is Gao Panlong, and the person with higher official position is Sun Shenxing. If you want to be suppressed, it will not be your turn!

But the reality is that there is nothing we can do about it. This Zhang Yingdao is the one who got it into his head, Old Zhao!

Instead of looking at Zhang Yingdao, who was impeaching him, Zhao Nanxing looked directly at Liu Yijing, the chief assistant scholar of the cabinet. Obviously, this matter has something to do with Liu Yijing.

In fact, since Zhang Yingdao came forward, everyone knew that this matter was done by Liu Yijing, the chief assistant scholar of the cabinet.

However, Zhao Nanxing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was even more touched by the fact that Liu Yijing pointed the finger at herself. To put it bluntly, he wanted his own position.

This old fox really does everything he can. Thinking of this, Zhao Nanxing sneered in his heart.

"Then just tell me." Zhu Youxiao sat back and said expressionlessly, as if he was already dissatisfied with Zhang Yingdao.

Zhang Yingdao turned a blind eye to His Majesty's appearance and continued to speak: "The three ministers of the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Nanxing, Zou Yuanbiao and the deceased Gu Xiancheng, founded Donglin Academy together and are known as the Three Gentlemen in the country. But in my opinion, these people

At that time, the officialdom was dissatisfied and the establishment of Donglin Academy was just to spread the resentment in the heart."

"The so-called teaching students to discuss current affairs together is just a way for them to express their dissatisfaction and resentment towards the court, thereby uniting those who are also dissatisfied with the court, forming a party, and using the party to win private interests. They collude with each other,

By recommending each other and deceiving Your Majesty, you are truly a traitor to the imperial court!"

These words were even more serious, and even Zhu Youxiao didn't expect it.

Being dissatisfied with the imperial court and harboring resentment towards the emperor. This is not a matter of forming a party for personal gain. This is a clear sign of rebellion.

Zhang Yingdao's words were so serious that he didn't expect that he would kill him as soon as he took action.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know whether this was Liu Yijing's intention or Zhang Yingdao's own intention.

After hearing these life-threatening words, Zhao Nanxing knelt down on the ground, touched his head to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhao Nanxing, but had no intention of letting him speak. He just said softly: "Zhao Aiqing, you have to wait for someone to finish speaking. Stand up first, and then you can speak after he finishes speaking."

Everyone looked at Zhang Yingdao again, wanting to see what else he would say.

Zhang Yingdao did not look at Zhao Nanxing, but bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. After these people formed party members, they not only controlled the government, but also colluded with the border generals. Among them, Li Ruzhen, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, colluded with them. Except for this time,

In addition to Xiong Tingbi, these people also embezzled military pay from Liaodong."

"Especially Zhao Nanxing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who embezzled a lot of money. Most of the ordnance allocated to Liaodong by the Ministry of Industry was substandard, and there were many defective products. Whether it was artillery or muskets, they were basically useless.

It would explode after just a few uses, and the soldiers in the border army did not even dare to use firearms, but chose to use spears and broadswords."

"But even so, we can't afford the supply of spears and broadswords. In the Ordnance Supervision of the Ministry of Industry, countless craftsmen were squeezed and their materials were taken away. But there was never a report from Liaodong, because Zhao Nanxing had already contacted Liaodong's

The generals have colluded together, and most of the money has been stolen by them."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Yingdao and sighed helplessly. Zhao Nanxing was not to blame for this problem.

This is no longer a problem of Zhao Nanxing or the Ministry of Industry, because the entire Ming Dynasty is like this, and it is even regarded as an obvious rule.

Those who don't respect these rules will be punished, and it only starts and ends in Liaodong?

But Zhu Youxiao also saw that whether it was Zhang Yingdao in front of him or Liu Yijing behind him, they were just giving himself a reason. To put it bluntly, they were handing him a knife.

Does the Ministry of Industry have any of these things?

The answer is simple, yes. As long as you send someone to investigate, you will definitely be able to find out something. Then you can use this excuse to deal with Zhao Nanxing.

It just depends on whether you want to make the case bigger or smaller.

If you want to minimize the big issue, then just get rid of Zhao Nanxing. You have already thought about the crime. It is okay for corruption and bribery, and it is okay for you to be lax in your subordinates.

As for the size of the crime, it all depends on your own decision in the end. You can do whatever you want, and you can even get involved with the Donglin Party for personal gain, or you can implicate other people.

Sighing in his heart, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh, these old guys really have a lot of experience.

I can't fault myself from every aspect of doing things. It's like feeding food directly to my mouth. I can eat whatever I feel comfortable with.

These old guys are really considerate and considerate.

"Is there any more?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Yingdao and asked.

Liu Yijing came up and prepared to kill Zhao Nanxing of the Donglin Party, which can be said to be a very big move.

After this period of weakening, the Donglin Party does not seem to have many manpower left. If Zhao Nanxing falls again, the Donglin Party may really have no one left.

But Zhu Youxiao is still ready to continue, because now is not the time to stop.

"Your Majesty, I have finished speaking." Zhang Yingdao bowed respectfully, then returned to the group of ministers, standing there quietly, as if what he just did was not his own doing.

Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Zhao Nanxing and said, "Zhao Aiqing, you can say anything now."

With a slight sigh of relief, Zhao Nanxing stepped out of the team and said loudly: "Please defend yourself."
