Tu Wenfu thought of this, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "The minister doesn't dare, but the minister has always admired the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River when he was young. ”

"Jinling? It's a good place, I made a note of it. So that's it for today, Tu Wenfu, you can go back and rest. Zhu Youzhen agreed without hesitation.

After walking out of the Qianqing Palace, a gust of wind blew through the hall under the corridor, and the coolness felt on his back made Tu Wenfu realize that his underwear was soaked with sweat.

"Terrible, terrible." Tu Wenfu spit out a sentence lightly, "In the future, the palace will no longer be so peaceful." He thought.

When Tu Wenfu left, Wang Chengen reported to Zhu Youzhen in detail about the process of going to Jinyiwei to announce the edict.

With Tu Wenfu, a popular person around Wei Zhongxian, and Luo Yangxing and Dong Kun as internal responses, Tian Ergeng accepted this edict without resistance, and the other senior officers in Jinyiwei had no objections.

After Zhu Youzhen listened to Wang Chengen's report, he just thought silently for a while, and then said out loud: "Let Luo Yangxing and Dong Kun rectify the military discipline of Jinyi Wei, I heard that some street gangsters can be listed in the Beizhen Fusi as long as they pay 2 or 30 taels of silver, and the Wei official also sent them a sticker as a basis." Is this what Jinyiwei thinks of, the gangster who collects protection money on the street? ”

Wang Chengen didn't bow his head and didn't dare to answer, Zhu Youzhen paused and adjusted his emotions and continued: "But these problems are all accumulated shortcomings left over from the past, and I can't help but give them a chance to make amends." Give them three days, and whoever confesses his sins and gives up his undue income within three days shall write a letter of repentance. After three days, once found, they will be immediately dismissed and fined three times their improper income. As for those street gangsters who paid money to blend into Jinyiwei, those who had no evil deeds in the past can be used as Jinyiwei's reserve personnel. Those who use the identity of Jinyiwei to oppress good people and extort businessmen will be punished according to the law, and those who are not enough to punish will be dismissed from Jinyiwei. ”

Wang Chengen immediately agreed, and when he was about to leave to convey Zhu Youzhen's meaning, Zhu Youzhen stopped him.

"There is also a let Luo Yangxing take over the Imperial Prison, and from today onwards, Jinyiwei will suspend the torture of prisoners in the Imperial Prison, and treat those who are sick, and no one will be allowed to die unexplained. In addition, I will send all the case files of these prisoners in the edict to the palace, and I will take a look. Zhu Youzhen added.

Since Tian Ergeng was transferred out of Jinyiwei, Wei Zhongxian's heart has become more and more uneasy. The external information that Dongchang sent to him every day was safe, but Wei Zhongxian really didn't believe it, and he invited two thousand households from Dongchang to question him several times, but they just couldn't say why.

As for the contact with the civil officials of foreign dynasties, although Huang Liji and others in the cabinet still treated him before and after Wei Gonggong, they began to prevaricate left and right when it came to what to do.

Cui Chengxiu treated him as usual, but when asked what to do in the future, he only smiled bitterly. As for the others, although they are called, they do not say a word and have no opinions.

On October 15, Yang Suoxiu, the new political envoy of Nanjing, saw that the opportunity was not good, and Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, and Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the ministry, were greedy for ink. Trying to dissociate himself from the eunuchs.

After Yang Xiu's sparseness was known by Cui Chengxiu, the angry Cui Chengxiu ran to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and made a fuss. first scolded Li Fan, then Sun Jie, and threatened that if the two did not revise the sparseness, he would check the money and food managed by the two.

So the next day, the officials all played to Chen Eryi in the matter, saying, "The Holy Lord is in power, everyone is in power, and the remnants of Donglin are lurking in the capital, intending to turn the tables." Your Majesty may order the factory guards to arrest these remnants. ”

After learning the whole story from Jinyiwei's secret report, Zhu Youzhen was simply ridiculous.

On October 17, Jiangxi Governor Yang Bangxian asked for Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall, Zhu Youzhen looked at it and smiled without saying a word, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly resigned to avoid establishing an ancestral hall for himself, and Zhu Youzhen agreed to push the boat.

A few days later, Wei Zhongxian took the initiative to ask Zhu Youzhen to resign from his post as the governor of the East Factory. Zhu Youzhen comforted him with kind words, and in the name of letting Gonggong Wei rest for a while, he asked Wang Chengen to temporarily take over the Admiral Dongchang.

The governor of Jiangxi was not allowed to build a shrine, and Wei Zhongxian was removed from the post of governor of Dongchang, which was like a weather vane, which suddenly stirred up the situation in the DPRK and China.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Xu Dahua of the Zhejiang Party hinted that his cousin Yang Weiyuan impeached Cui Chengxiu, protected Wei Zhongxian, and came up with a plan to lose the car and protect the commander.

And Lu Chengyuan, the director of the Ministry of Industry, simply came up with a plan, and directly pointed the finger at Cui Chengxiu, saying that Xizong won the favor because the three major halls were not repaired, and now that the three major halls have been repaired, Cui Chengxiu still does not resign, and dominates the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, what do you want to do?

Lu Chengyuan's heart-wrenching words made Cui Chengxiu immediately ask for his dismissal from his position and let him go back to defend the system.

Although Zhu Youzhen was very dissatisfied with this three-year rule of filial piety, in this kind of society where feudal etiquette and religion were the mainstream ideology, he really did not have the confidence to challenge the mainstream culture of the Ming Dynasty.

Besides, as Wei Zhongxian's ironcore, Cui Chengxiu is not worth his effort. So Zhu Youzhen agreed to Cui Chengxiu's resignation, but for Cui Chengxiu's vacant military department secretary, Zhu Youzhen did not agree to let Tian Ji take the position, but ordered the recall of Wang Zaijin, the former military department secretary who was sent to Nanjing.

In the past few days, Zhu Youzhen has carefully studied the resumes of the six Shangshu of the Northern and Southern Beijings, and found that this former military secretary had a view of Liaodong that matched his wishes, so he took the opportunity to transfer him back.

Cui Chengxiu's resignation is like the first domino of the eunuch party's fall. Soon, Qian Yuanxuan, the head of the military department, jumped out to impeach Wei Zhongxian, saying that Cui Chengxiu's backstage boss was Wei Zhongxian, and asked Wei Zhongxian to be removed from all positions and let him go back to the countryside to farm.

Zhu Youzhen only scolded Qian Yuanxuan lightly, but did not pursue anything.

On October 27, Jiaxing Gongsheng Qian Jiazheng again impeached Wei Zhongxian and listed ten major crimes.

The so-called ten major crimes in this letter of impeachment are all hearsay, chasing after the wind and shadows, and Zhu Youzhen simply scoffs at this.

However, he also knew that the matter should end here, and if he waited any longer, these Donglin Party members would have to make even more progress.

So that night, Zhu Youzhen called Wei Zhongxian over and asked Wang Chengen to read this one by one to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian sweated like rain for a while, muttering but unable to defend himself. Zhu Youzhen looked at Wei Zhongxian for a long time, and then suddenly turned into a smile and said, "Father-in-law Wei, it seems that you have really offended a lot of people over the years." ”
