"Your Majesty, for the impeachment of all colleagues, the old minister does not dare to agree!" Huang Yourong slowly retorted: "Although your colleagues have impeached the old minister for many crimes, they are all just making things out of nothing, chasing after the wind and shadows, there is no tangible evidence at all, all of them are slanderous words, the old minister is not afraid of shadows, he has always been loyal to His Majesty, and he has always done his best to the court, and he will never do anything to harm the country and disrupt the government, and I hope Your Majesty will learn from it!"

Like Zhao Junchen, Emperor Deqing had considered all the circumstances before returning to Beijing.

Therefore, Huang Yourong's answer was still expected by Emperor Deqing.

"Oh? Is that so? Emperor Deqing looked noncommittal, seemed to be a little skeptical, and seemed to agree.

Emperor Deqing's attitude was obviously secretly encouraging the officials to continue to impeach Huang Yourong.

It seems that in the eyes of Emperor Deqing, today's Huang Yourong is still not embarrassed enough.

But just when the officials were about to move, Shen Changmao came out again and spoke first: "Your Majesty, the old minister and the old Huang Pavilion have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, although there are occasional disputes, but they also admire the old Huang Pavilion very much, and no one will inevitably make mistakes, but the old minister will never believe that the old Huang Pavilion will do cholera and form a party for personal gain, so the old minister believes in the guarantee of the old Huang Ge, and is willing to vouch for the old Huang Ge, and I hope that Your Majesty will be clear." ”

Once again, Shen Changmao made remarks in support of Huang Yourong.

Then, as Shen Changmao's words fell, some "Shen Party" officials finally reacted and discovered Shen Changmao's true attitude - Shen Changmao did not inform them in advance, otherwise they would not have impeached Huang Yourong with the public just now.

So. The officials of the "Shen Party," who had done their best to impeach Huang Yourong, suddenly changed their stance. also came out one after another, speaking in agreement with Shen Changmao's point of view - as if they were not the people who fiercely attacked Huang Yourong just now.

And then. Of course, the officials who supported Huang Yourong and the officials who opposed Huang Yourong launched fierce debates and quarrels, which gradually evolved into mutual attacks between officials with different positions, and the situation in the imperial palace seemed a little chaotic and noisy for a while.

On the whole, however, although Huang Yourong has won the support of the "Shen Party" officials and some "Yellow Party" officials, the voice of impeaching him still has the upper hand.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Emperor Deqing finally spoke again, only to see him shouting with a serious expression: "Silence! This is the Emperor's Palace, and you are the ministers of the court. What kind of system is it to be so noisy!? ”

With Emperor Deqing's stern questioning, the quarrel between the officials finally stopped for a while.

Then, Emperor Deqing suddenly turned his gaze to Zhao Junchen.

Speaking of which, this dispute over Huang Yourong was provoked by Zhao Junchen at the very beginning by Zhao Junchen instructing the "Zhao Party" officials, but after the dispute was provoked, Zhao Junchen and the "Zhao Party" officials immediately withdrew and left and never participated in it again. Especially Zhao Junchen himself, he has been hiding behind the scenes and watching coldly from beginning to end, as if Zhao Junchen himself has nothing to do with this matter.

For Zhao Junchen's act of setting up a stage to watch a play like this, Emperor Deqing was a little unaccustomed to it.

Thereupon. Emperor Deqing didn't intend to let Zhao Junchen continue to get out of the matter, but asked Zhao Junchen: "Zhao Aiqing, today is a big court meeting." The impeachment of Huang Yourong by officials is also crucial, and you are the head of the household. How can you not say a word? What do you think of the controversy between the officials of the DPRK and China? ”

Seeing that Emperor Deqing suddenly found him. Zhao Junchen was not surprised, and he had already taken countermeasures, but he replied: "Your Majesty, no matter whether Huang Ge Lao is a loyal minister or a traitor, and whether the officials support or oppose him, but since so many people have impeached Huang Ge Lao, no matter whether their impeachment charges are true or false, Your Majesty needs to send someone to investigate in detail." In this way, the officials can be convinced, and the officials will not be able to continue to quarrel. ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen said again: "Especially the matter of Zhan Shanchang, the head of the household department, Gu Quan, the left of the Imperial Palace, and Liu Changan, the head of the Ministry of Officials, who were dismissed from their posts by the Huang Pavilion Elder, should be investigated in detail immediately, after all, these three adults are all members of the imperial court above the third grade, and if they are removed from their official positions because of a crime made out of nothing, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of hundreds of officials." ”

In fact, in the plan to impeach Huang Yourong, Zhao Junchen's main purpose was to restore the official positions of several "Zhao Party" officials.

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, several "Zhao Party" officials naturally spoke out in agreement.

On the other hand, after hearing Zhao Junchen's answer, Emperor Deqing was also quite satisfied - although Zhao Junchen's answer was a little cunning, it also hit the hands of Emperor Deqing, after all, Emperor Deqing did not want Huang Yourong to fall immediately, and planned to make Huang Yourong a target and continue to replace the crown prince Zhu and Yu to attract the resentment of hundreds of officials, so Zhao Junchen's investigation proposal could be delayed for a few days without delaying Huang Yourong's final downfall.

So, after Emperor Deqing nodded with satisfaction, he turned his head to Zhou Shangjing and asked: "Zhou Aiqing, you and Huang Ge Lao have also been in the same dynasty for many years, and you know Huang Ge Lao well, but I don't know what your opinion is?" ”

Zhou Shangjing replied: "Your Majesty, the old minister also agrees with Zhao Shangshu's proposal, and the impeachment of the hundred officials still needs to be investigated in detail by the imperial court before making a conclusion, otherwise it will inevitably wronged the good people...... Whether it is Huang Ge Lao, or the few adults who Huang Ge Lao has dismissed from their official positions, this is the case. ”

Emperor Deqing nodded again and said: "Since Elder Zhou Ge also has the same opinion, and the officials are arguing endlessly, then this matter is so decided, pass on my will, and order the three divisions and yamen to mobilize capable officials to investigate this matter in detail, and be sure to get the results in the shortest possible time!" ”

Then, Emperor Deqing turned his gaze to Huang Yourong again, as if relieved, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about Huang Ge Lao, I asked people to investigate in detail to prove your innocence...... However, since it is the officials who have impeached you, in order to avoid suspicion, you are still a cabinet elder and can participate in political affairs until the matter is clarified, but you should not participate in specific affairs, and if the final investigation results prove that you are innocent, I will also clarify for you personally. ”

With the decision of Emperor Deqing, the impeachment of Huang Yourong by hundreds of officials came to an end temporarily.

After all, this was the common will of Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing, and even if other officials had different ideas, it was absolutely impossible to change the outcome.

In addition, Emperor Deqing's last words are also equivalent to hollowing out all Huang Yourong's power - this is the beginning of Huang Yourong's loss of power.

In this regard, Huang Yourong still did not have any resistance, but calmly agreed.

*******

However, he said that after the impeachment of Huang Yourong by hundreds of officials came to an end temporarily, the first climax of the court meeting gradually calmed down.

But soon, another climax came.

That is the matter of Prince Zhu and Yu rectifying the commercial tax.
