Hearing the voice behind him, all the ministers turned their heads, and when they saw that it was An Guohou, they were all embarrassed.

An Guohou and Chengguo Gong had a holiday, and everyone standing in the court was a human spirit, how could they not know.

The three or five imperial historians were originally planning to come out to fight (fall) righteousness (well) and execute (down) words (stones), but they looked left and right, and they all shrank back.

I can't afford to provoke it, I can't afford to provoke it!

"What did An Guohou say?" Chongzhen glared at Liu Hongji, meaning that you kid be honest, don't make trouble for me.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Cheng Guogong is only half right!"

Staring at Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu also has to say, otherwise Lao Huang will be yellow, and he may not be sent to the north to drink cold wind, how can this work?

Loyalty is against the ear, how can a big (stirring) loyal minister (stick) like Lao Tzu be taken by obscenity and only promise?

"Oh? Are you saying that Chengguo Gong is self-denying and strict with himself? After listening to Liu Hongji's words, Chongzhen became interested.

"No, no, no, the emperor misunderstood Weichen.

What the minister means is that it is true that this Chengguo Gong is stupid, not only is he stupid, but he is also thick-skinned, thicker than the walls of our capital! ”

Joke, he is self-denying? Strict with yourself? It's like someone never spits ivory out of their mouth, it's pure.

"An Guohou, you don't want to spew blood!" After listening to Liu Hongji's words, Zhu Chunchen, who was still prostrate on the ground and crying, stood up.

"Your Majesty! The old minister is fifty years old, and he has no merit and hard work for the court for half his life, and now he is so humiliated by a milky hairy boy, please ask the emperor to be the master of the old minister! ”

Zhu Chunchen was still indignant just now, and when he turned to face Chongzhen, he seemed to have been greatly wronged, and the speed of changing his face was enough to make the little fresh meat of later generations embarrassed.

He was not stupid, he knew Liu Hong's weight in the emperor's mind, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he had to pretend to be pitiful and kick the ball to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, although An Guohou has made meritorious contributions to my Ming Dynasty, but how could the grandfather of the country not sweat for my Ming Dynasty, and now in this court, An Guohou actually spits out vulgar words and speaks viciously to each other, which really loses my Ming prestige.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the minister is aggrieved for the grandfather of the country, and the emperor should be guilty of vain words! Ma Shiying came out of the class and played.

"What Lord Ma said is extremely true, the ministers seconded the proposal, and it should be the crime of policing the country!"

As if they had received a signal, the three or five imperial historians finally couldn't hold back the fire in their hearts, and collectively went out to impeach Liu Hongji.

"An Guohou, you have passed Meng Lang! Convicted? "Above the court, you sang and I appeared, Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, and his face was unhappy.

"Back to the emperor, the minister just told a few words of truth, what is the crime?

The minister has a document in his hand, and he implores the emperor to read it out in the court, if the emperor still thinks that the minister is talking nonsense after reading it, the minister should be guilty! ”

Liu Hong gradually took out a neatly folded piece of rice paper from his pipa sleeve.

"Your Majesty ......" Zhu Chunchen's intuition for many years told him that he was murderous! This kid must be stopped.

"Read!" Chongzhen waved his hand to stop Zhu Chunchen's speech.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"After investigation, in the third year of Chongzhen, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, invaded 28 hectares of cultivated land in Shigezhuang in Changping County.

In June of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, embezzled 180,000 stone of relief grain in the name of disaster relief, causing tens of thousands of people in Henan to starve to death due to lack of relief.

In March of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Chunchen accepted a bribe of 20,000 taels of silver from Feng Tianhua, the head of the household department in Nanjing, to obtain the post of deputy envoy of the capital transfer salt envoy.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Zhu Chunchen took the position of the governor of the Chinese military capital to eat 16,700 people in the Beijing camp, which lasted until the fourteenth year of Chongzhen.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Chunchen invaded 49 hectares of cultivated land in Baiyangzhuang in Tongxian County, and Xu Erhe, a villager in Baiyangzhuang, was beaten to death by the slaves in the Chengguo Mansion because he lost his land to report to the Shuntian Mansion.

11th year of Chongzhen......

Twelve years......

……”

Liu Hong gradually stood in the Imperial Palace, his voice was high-pitched, and his tone was gentle as if he was reading a beautiful article.

Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, knelt in front of the hall, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead from time to time, and the gentle words behind him listened to his ears, like a snake and scorpion.

"Enough!" Chongzhen finally couldn't help it.

"Zhu Chunchen! Can An Guohou slander you? ”

Chongzhen's hands trembled a little, among all the nobles, he has always relied on Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and even gave him great hope when he broke into the siege of the city, and now it seems that fortunately he didn't give him the errand back then.

The indictment that Liu Hongjian read out just now was like a knife stabbing into Chongzhen's body.

What kind of injury hurts the most, the most chilling?

It's not a direct stab with a knife, but the person you trust, the person you rely on, the knife that turns back to you, the most painful, the most chilling!

"The Emperor...... The Emperor Rongchen ...... Refutation. ”

"Your Majesty, these charges have all been repeatedly verified by Jinyiwei, and each charge has human and physical evidence! There will be no half-spread pool. ”

Liu Honggradually handed the letter to Wang Erxi, the eunuch of the court, and Wang Erxi handed it to Chongzhen, who quickly swept it through the ten lines at a glance, and saw that it was no different from what Liu Hongji read out, and his face instantly turned cold.

"Since I inherited the Great Unification, I think that I am not thin on your honors, if I remember correctly, in the past ten years, I have given you a hundred and twenty hectares of sub-grain fields in the line of Chengguo Gong.

What about you? How did you repay me? Encroaching on fertile land, disregarding human life, greedy for ink and lawlessness, what else do you dare not do? You said! ”

Chongzhen's eye circles began to flush again.

Those who are familiar with Chongzhen's temperament know that the emperor's eyes are red, either because he is moved or angry!

And the current situation is obviously not the former.

In Chongzhen's heart, encroaching on some acres of land is not a big deal, and what disappointed him the most was eating empty quotas.

At the beginning of the year, the battle of defending the city that was related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty, if there were 16,000 more soldiers in the Beijing battalion, it would not be so hard to defend.

"Your Majesty, Your Minister...... The minister is guilty! The ministers were confused for a while...... Hope for the Emperor"

The bean-like cold sweat on his forehead kept coming out, Zhu Chunchen was not stupid, the human and material evidence was there, and it made it clear that An Guohou came prepared, and he no longer dared to rely on the old and sell the old, so he could only pray that Chongzhen would spare him for the sake of his ancestors.

"Confused for a while, hum, you've been confused for more than ten years, this cheek is really thicker than the city wall, Your Majesty, the minister is not wrong, right?" Liu Hong gradually laughed angrily, and directly interrupted Zhu Chunchen, who was incoherent.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have the courage to ask for the lives of the 8,600 soldiers who died unjustly in Huaiyin Mansion......" At this time, if you don't get mad, when will you wait, Huang Degong picked up his official uniform and knelt down to ask for the life of the brothers who died unjustly.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

The household department, the military department, and the official department all echoed it, and it has always been their bounden duty to suppress the generals, not to mention that Zhu Chunchen's crimes are simply unspeakable and full of evil.

"The imperial decree, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, embezzled fertile land, disregarded human life, embezzled and accepted bribes, and withheld military salaries, and his crimes were unforgivable.

I was extremely disappointed, and I was punished for several crimes, and I removed Zhu Chunchen from the post of Governor of the Left Capital of the Central Military Governor's Office, and the Duke of Chengguo was removed from the ranks.

Collected the income from the years of embezzlement, returned the land to the people, and Zhu Chunchen was demoted to the common people.

Remembering that the ancestors were kind to the Ming Dynasty, leaving their mansions and original fields, Qin this! ”

Chongzhen turned his back to the courtiers and issued an edict, and there were eunuchs around him who worked hard to write and prepare Chongzhen's will word for word.

"Minister...... Shane. Zhu Chunchen's face was as dead as ashes, and his cold clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

"Do it yourself! Retreat! Chongzhen flicked his sleeves and walked out of the Imperial Palace without looking back.

Just these crimes are enough for ordinary people to die seventy or eighty times, alas, the emperor is still soft-hearted, Liu Hong gradually shook his head and prepared to go home.

"An Guohou stays!" Huang Degong got up and took a few steps.
