As the officials of the "Zhao Party" took the lead in attacking Huang Yourong, the original peaceful situation in the Imperial Palace was suddenly broken, as if a boulder had smashed onto the calm water, causing an uproar.

Then, officials continued to speak in a row, and like the speeches of the "Zhao Party" officials, most of them attacked Huang Yourong.

"Your Majesty, the minister also wants to impeach Huang Yourong for the crime of bringing disaster to the country and disrupting the government! During His Majesty's southern tour, Huang Yourong suppressed dissidents, formed factions, formed gangs, and cronyism...... All kinds of evil deeds are sins that cannot be punished! I also hope that Your Majesty will severely punish Huang Yourong and take the dynasty seriously! ”

"Your Majesty, Huang Yourong has been abusing power and misleading the country, or brutalizing Zhongliang, or committing fraud for personal gain, everything he has done is a traitor's temperament and hidden evil intentions, Your Majesty, you must not tolerate and nurture adultery!"

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that Huang Yourong's private morality is not good, and he takes pleasure in playing with young girls all day long, and over the years, I don't know how many young girls have been harmed, so misconducted, how can he enter the cabinet and become a role model for hundreds of officials? How will the common people view the court officials? I also ask Your Majesty to remove Huang Yourong from his official position in order to set the record straight! ”

"Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, Huang Yourong is really a big corrupt official, he has been embezzling or embezzling or accepting bribes over the years, and has collected as much as 10 million taels of silver, the situation is so bad and serious, it is really shocking, such a giant beetle, it can be said that it is rare in the ages, and I hope Your Majesty will strictly investigate!"

"Your Majesty, Huang Yourong is not only corrupt in personal morality, causing chaos in the country, corruption and bribery, but also incompetent! During His Majesty's southern tour, he was powerless to control the political situation. The strategies implemented are full of loopholes, and they are also obstinately self-serving. The situation in the government and the opposition has become more and more chaotic, and both the officials and the people are full of complaints. I hope Your Majesty will see it! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also wants to impeach Huang Yourong......"

"Your Majesty......"

****

As soon as several "Zhao Party" officials finished speaking, they saw that some people among the hundreds of officials continued to come out to impeach Huang Yourong, either criticize Huang Yourong's personal morality, or attack Huang Yourong's policies and measures, or impeach Huang Yourong for his stupidity and incompetence, or pour dirty water on Huang Yourong......

The officials who impeached Huang Yourong came from the major factions in the DPRK and China, including officials of the "Zhao Party", officials of the "Zhou Party", and officials of the "Tai Party". There are officials of the "Shen Party", and there are also many neutral officials...... They impeached Huang Yourong for different reasons, either because of old grievances with each other, or because of the secret instigation of backers, or because of the anger psychology of commercial tax rectification, or just because they just wanted to see Huang Yourong embarrassed......

There are even many former "Yellow Party" officials who see that Huang Yourong is about to fall, for fear that they will be affected. In order to clear up his relationship with Huang Yourong, he even made a statement to impeach Huang Yourong -- in fact, among the hundreds of officials, these former "Yellow Party" officials were the most fierce and ruthless......

After all, Huang Yourong is about to fall, and it is impossible to retaliate against them in the future, so no matter which faction the officials are from, they are all assured and bold, scrambling to fall into the well, and take advantage of the fire to rob.

For a time, there was an exciting scene in the Imperial Palace. In the mouths of hundreds of officials, Huang Yourong has also become a corrupt official and traitor who is incompetent, wolf-like, insatiable, psychologically dark, and misleading the country, which is simply useless.

Although there are still some "Yellow Party" officials who are loyal to Huang Yourong who have spoken out to defend Huang Yourong -- such as Lin Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Cheng, the young master, two die-hards of Huang Yourong. In addition, Huo Zhengyuan, a university scholar, and Chen Dongxiang, a waiter in the Ministry of Works, also spoke out to defend Huang Yourong for various purposes—but they were only a minority after all, and their voices were quickly drowned out in the wave of opposition to Huang Yourong.

What is "the wall is down, and everyone pushes it"? Obviously, that's the case now.

In fact, this is not the first time Zhao Junchen has seen such a situation. About a year ago, when the former cabinet elder Wen Guanliang fell. also encountered such a situation - at that time, Huang Yourong was still one of the leaders of the siege of Wen Guanliang. Unexpectedly, just a year later, Huang Yourong himself encountered the same desperate situation, but in some ways, it was also a cycle of cause and effect.

Of course, whether it is Wen Guanliang or Huang Yourong, the reason why they will fall and lose power is because of Zhao Junchen's secret promotion, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhao Junchen is the mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, seeing Huang Yourong being robbed by hundreds of officials, Zhao Junchen did not have the slightest pity, but was secretly vigilant in his heart.

Because Zhao Junchen knows that if one day he is about to fall and lose power, he will inevitably usher in exactly the same situation.

After all, officials at the level of Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong have defeated a large number of competitors, infringed on the interests of too many people, offended too many colleagues in the DPRK and China, and coupled with the despicable psychology of some villains, they will inevitably usher in a situation of "the wall is falling down and everyone pushes them" after their downfall, even Zhao Junchen is no exception.

Let's not talk about those Qingliu and political enemies who regard Zhao Junchen as an enemy on weekdays, let's just say that Zuo Lanshan, Zhan Shanchang, Chen Dongxiang, these "Zhao Party" officials, don't look at their usual respect for Zhao Junchen and obey his orders, but if Zhao Junchen shows signs of collapse one day, then they will definitely abandon Zhao Junchen as soon as possible and look for a new master, and in order to clear up their relationship with Zhao Junchen, they will also use the most drastic means to attack Zhao Junchen, just like some former "Yellow Party" officials today.

Therefore, having come to this point, Zhao Junchen has no other choice than to continue to move forward.

*****

Let's not talk about the performance of the officials and Zhao Junchen's psychological activities.

said that when the officials were excitedly impeaching Huang Yourong, Shen Changmao, Huang Yourong's temporary ally and the first assistant of the cabinet, finally couldn't help but speak.

Now, Shen Changmao has become the new cabinet chief, it is the time when the limelight is at its peak, and Shen Changmao himself is a strong character who must be retribution, and all the officials are unwilling to offend him easily, so when they saw Shen Changmao coming out, the officials quieted down one after another, waiting for Shen Changmao to express his opinion.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Huang Yourong is a cabinet veteran and a senior minister of the DPRK, and he has always been deeply trusted by His Majesty, even if there are occasional flaws when he is in charge of politics, he will never be as heinous and useless as some officials impeached! On this occasion, Your Majesty, why don't you listen to what Huang Ge Elder himself has to say? Perhaps, there may be another reason for the impeachment of the officials. ”

Shen Changmao's words seem to be fair, but in fact, they are secretly warning Emperor Deqing - Huang Yourong is an old minister in the court, and he has always been reused, if you allow the officials to wantonly attack Huang Yourong and make Huang Yourong a heinous traitor, then wouldn't your Emperor Deqing be the same fault of being an improper person and not knowing people?

In fact, this can be regarded as the inherent means of the Deqing Emperor - when the Deqing Emperor wants to overthrow a certain minister, he will often deliberately leak the news, and then naturally many officials will impeach the minister for various purposes, and the Deqing Emperor did not say a word during the impeachment of the hundred officials, but just allowed the hundred officials to wantonly attack the minister, so as to create the momentum that Wanfu was referring to......

In the end, even if the minister can clarify the various charges against which he was impeached, after this incident, his prestige, reputation, face, etc. have been wiped out, and at that time, how can he continue to stand in the court? But there is only one path left to choose from.

In addition to Zhou Shangjing, Emperor Deqing's move can be described as invincible.

At the beginning, Emperor Deqing used this method when he gave up Wen Guanliang, and now when he wants to give up Huang Yourong, he also uses the same method.

The means are old, but they do work.

Shen Changmao also saw Emperor Deqing's thoughts, so he came out to speak and secretly warn.

After all, according to Shen Changmao's plan, now is not the time for Huang Yourong to fall -- at least until Huang Yourong transfers all his forces, connections, and authority to Shen Changmao, Shen Changmao will not allow Huang Yourong to fall, otherwise Huang Yourong's control over the "Yellow Party" will be wiped out, and Shen Changmao's plan to annex the "Yellow Party" will also encounter a lot of trouble.

In fact, not only Shen Changmao, but even Emperor Deqing did not want Huang Yourong to fall immediately.

After all, because of the prince's rectification of commercial taxes, the interests of the officials have been violated, and they are all holding back their grievances, so Emperor Deqing also needs Huang Yourong to stand in his current position to continue to attract the anger of the officials, so that Huang Yourong can become the venting bucket of the officials, until the grievances of the officials are vented, it is the right time for Huang Yourong to completely fall.

So, after hearing Shen Changmao's statement, Emperor Deqing nodded slowly and said: "What Shen Aiqing said is reasonable, even if he is impeached by hundreds of officials, I still have to give Huang Ge Lao a chance to defend himself." ”

After speaking, Emperor Deqing turned his gaze to Huang Yourong and said with a calm expression: "Elder Huang Ge, do you have anything to explain and clarify about the impeachment of you by hundreds of officials?" ”

However, he said that during the impeachment of Huang Yourong by hundreds of officials, Huang Yourong's performance was very calm, even when he was attacked by those former "Yellow Party" officials, Huang Yourong did not have too many emotional fluctuations, but his expression became more and more gray, and his figure was slightly rickety.

After all, for the current situation, Huang Yourong had anticipated it in advance, and he gave up resistance in advance.

However, Huang Yourong also knows that although he has given up resistance, if he wants to return to his hometown to retire peacefully, there are many crimes that he must not admit - he can admit that he is incompetent, has poor personal morality, and even embezzles and accepts bribes, but he must not admit that he has misled the country and disordered the government, formed a party for personal gain, or harbored evil intentions!

So, Huang Yourong replied: "Your Majesty, the old minister does not approve of all the charges of impeachment of the old minister! ”
