"Spread the decree, remove Wei Zhao from the post of scholar and scholar of the Ministry of Households, expel him from the capital, and never use it!"

Chongzhen was really angry and said viciously.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor forgives your sins, your Emperor forgives your sins!"

Wei Zhaocheng buckled his head again and again, hoping that Chongzhen would be able to open up his side, he was arrogant and domineering in the court, and there were countless people who were overthrown by himself, and he had a lot of territory, if he was demoted to a commoner, in a few days, he would die without a place to be buried!

"Forgiveness? Hey, hey, you let me forgive my sins? Just look at this mess you've done, and you're still asking me to forgive your sins? If it hadn't been discovered in time, Zhu Jie would have handled it properly, and now Tongzhou doesn't know what the chaos will look like! ”

Chongzhen roared angrily.

Wei Zhaocheng didn't dare to refute, the evidence was ironclad, and he didn't have any chance to refute this letter at all! He instructed Lu Daxi to burn the letter, or tear it up, but Lu Daxi, this kid, is a master who loves to show off, Wei Zhaocheng wrote a letter to himself, he can take it out at any time and show it in front of his colleagues, to show how close he is to Lord Wei, it is this letter that made Dong Qiguang completely obeyed, such a baby, where is Lu Daxi willing to burn it?

"Your Majesty, although Lord Wei has gone a little too far this time, please ask the emperor to read about his past hard work and ...... lightly."

Fang Yuegong on the side bowed and said.

Chongzhen glanced at Fang Yuegong in surprise, and said dissatisfiedly: "Fang Yuegong, are you still interceding for him?" Do you know that if I have been deceived, the Ming Dynasty will have one less pillar of talent! Such a jealous and jealous traitor, what do I do when I stay by my side? ”

Fang Yuegong hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Wei Ge Lao is just confused for a while, confused for a while, and ask the emperor to be gracious and deal with it lightly! ”

As he spoke, Fang Yuegong glanced at Wei Zhaocheng, who was paralyzed on the ground, and motioned for him to quickly admit his mistake.

Wei Zhaocheng suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly got up, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is confused for a while, confused for a while, and the minister knows that he is wrong......

Fang Yuegong glanced at Zhu Jie, it was Zhu Jie who spoke, and at this time, the main lord did not speak, but it was difficult to make Chongzhen gracious.

Zhu Jie saw Fang Yuegong's color, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I want to deal with it lightly because of Lord Wei's years of hard work, but now that the court is in turmoil, the monarchs and ministers are in constant turmoil, and it is the time when we need to work together......"

Chongzhen was still angry, and said hatefully: "Okay, Wei Zhaocheng, don't say that I don't want to intercede, send a decree to remove Wei Zhaocheng from his position as a minister, demote him to a political envoy, and be fined for one year, why don't you apologize to Zhu Jie and get out of the palace?" ”

Although he was demoted two levels in a row, he finally retained the position of the third grade, and still stayed in the court.

Wei Zhaocheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down to Zhu Jie to apologize, thanked Fang Yuegong and Zhu Jie for their rescue, and stumbled out of the hall.

"Fang Aiqing, what do you mean? Just let me let him go? ”

Chongzhen asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Fang Yuegong smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you have to understand, now Zhu Jie has just come to the court, without the slightest foundation, he has just brought down Tian Hongyu and others, and after a few days, Wei Zhaocheng will be a commoner, what will those ministers think of Zhu Jie?" I'm afraid that everyone will be afraid to avoid it, when the time comes, he will be embattled, a little careless, it will cause the courtiers to rise up and attack him, the gains outweigh the losses, the gains outweigh the losses, it is better to sell Wei Zhaocheng a favor and resolve the grievances of the two people......"

Chongzhen was shocked, Fang Yuegong was right, that is, relying on Sun Chuanting's recommendation, Zhu Jie almost ascended to the sky and entered the court, but with his identity, this foundation is not something that can be laid overnight, once Wei Zhaocheng is cleaned up, I am afraid that the courtiers will really hate the enemy and isolate Zhu Jie, when the time comes, Zhu Jie will be constrained by all parties no matter what he does, that is the real fate!

"Well, Fang Aiqing, you have thought it through, so let's go back and discuss it with your cabinet, and then the court will recommend a cabinet minister to come out......"

Chongzhen said slowly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a request......

Zhu Jie bowed and said, "Please also ask the emperor to be gracious." ”

Chongzhen said angrily: "What's the matter, let's talk about it." You don't want to stab Lou Zi, not every time you are so lucky, and I can't always defend you like this! ”

Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the minister understands, the minister just wants to ask for a favor for the brothers who mutinied in Tongzhou, although the mutiny should be beheaded, but after all, it is for a reason, two thousand households, the minister has seen it, they are all good generals with good conduct and good ability, a little training, it is the dry city of the country, if it were not for Dong Qiguang and Lu Daxi, who did nothing and forced this group of people to a dead end, they would not be entangled in the soldiers to make trouble and mutiny......"

"This ......"

Chongzhen hesitated, but this request was difficult, the barracks mutinied, if they were not dealt with severely, other barracks would follow suit, and they would mutiny when they encountered something, so it wouldn't be messed up?

"Your Majesty, now that the army is reorganized, all the guards are watching, if something happens to the two guards in Tongzhou, it will be even more difficult to clean up later, please ask the emperor to be extrajudicial and gracious, of course, Dong Qiguang and Lu Daxi are two people, forget it, if they are not severely punished, it is not enough to deter lawbreakers who stretch out their hands indiscriminately and form parties in private! As long as they have land and money, these people will definitely not make trouble! ”

"Okay, this matter is up to you, Zhu Jie will use the shortest time to put the left and right guards of Tongzhou in order, give you half a month, and after half a month, I will personally review the army, and you won't let me down when the time comes!"

Chongzhen gritted his teeth and replied.

Zhu Jie hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, if Chongzhen was really ruthless, he wanted to cut down all these people, or exile them all to Qiongzhou and Yunnan, then there would be a big problem, and it would be even more difficult for the other twelve guards to rectify in the back.

Back at the barracks, everyone was still waiting for news in the barracks.

Zhu Jie looked at Lu Daxi and Dong Qiguang, and said with a smile: "Lu Daxi, Dong Qiguang, how is it?" You two can be regarded as self-inflicted, your backers have now fallen down, what else do you two have to say? Preaching the will of the saints, Lu Daxi and Dong Qiguang did not do well, formed a party for personal gain, and immediately deprived the two of them of all their positions and favors, expelled from the barracks, and never used them! ”

The two of them were completely dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the dignified pavilion elder would be so vulnerable in front of Zhu Jie, the commander of the same knowledge!
