Chapter 5 Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi
After hearing this, Wei Chao looked at Wang An in surprise.
After hearing this, Wang An raised his eyes and stared at Fang Congzhe. He really didn't expect Fang Congzhe to be so cruel.
Zhu Youxiao was also surprised and stunned for a moment. Then he glanced at Wang An and Wei Chao again before nodding, "Accurate!"
Although Zhu Youxiao did not expect Fang Congzhe to ask Wei Dazhong to be imprisoned and die.
But Zhu Youxiao asked Fang Congzhe to deal with Wei Dazhong's affairs, which also meant to see Fang Congzhe's attitude.
After all, he had already learned about the political attitude of the eunuch Wang An of the Silijian, so he naturally had to understand Fang Congzhe's attitude.
...
"Give up Wei Dazhong to issue an edict to imprison him and discuss his death?"
After hearing this, Zuo Guangdou immediately put the teacup he had just picked up back on the table and stood up.
Clam!
At the same time, a cup of tea fell directly on the carpet. Wei Dazhong's hand was scalded red by the sprinkled tea, but he had no reaction and just sat there blankly because he really didn't expect that he would be killed.
Wang Wenyan nodded and looked at Zuo Guangdou and Wei Dazhong with a serious expression: "The matter is conclusive, and the votes have been made!"
Wei Dazhong pursed his lips.
Zuo Guangzhong continued to ask, "How could this happen?"
"Because Duke Wei's memorial was written by Fang Zhezip."
Wang Wenyan replied.
"It's a pity for Fang Thief! We were deceived by him. We thought he was just a mediocre person, but we didn't expect that he was so cruel! He was stealing power and chasing the country and harming loyal and kind!"
Zuo Guangzhong slapped the table with anger.
Wang Wenyan said: "Your Majesty trusts the thief very much, and he has the intention to let the thief be the second Yan Song!"
"Your Majesty must not be allowed to succeed! Yan Song has caused trouble to the country for more than 20 years, causing Altan to rebel in the north and Japanese pirates to rebel in the south. The thieves in the square are not as good as Yan Song. Once he becomes Yan Song, the disaster will be even greater, let alone the Eastern Captains in the Ming Dynasty have become enemies!"
Wei Dazhong gritted his teeth and started talking at this time.
"That's right, for the sake of the present, we must impeach Fang thieves and expose Fang thieves' crimes, and take advantage of the fact that the emperor has ascended the throne, and the power of Fang thieves is not great, and there are still many righteous people in the court, we must expel Fang thieves from the cabinet as soon as possible!"
Zuo Guangzhong said.
Wang Wenyan also said: "According to the news from the Danei, among the officials who pleaded for Yang Lian this time, there was a young secretary Xu Guangqi, and Zuo Zhongyun Sun Chengzong begging for mercy for Yang Lian. These two were masters of the East Palace and had the name of master and disciple with the emperor. In Wang's opinion, if you want to get rid of Fang thief, it would be best to persuade these two to impeach Fang Congzhe, which may be effective. Even if Your Majesty does not follow, he will not kill his master."
Zuo Guangdou nodded: "Mr. Sun and Mr. Zuo have a close relationship. He and Mr. Xu are in the same year. Mr. Zuo will go to see him now! Ask him to find a way to save Mr. Wei and Mr. Yang, and impeach Fang Congzhe."
...
"What the emperor said is that according to the report of the Jinyiwei, the son of Yuanfu Fang Shihong was indeed an incompetent person, but this is not surprising. Yuanfu worked hard for the country and naturally could not discipline his son. In the past few dynasties, there were examples of Yuanfu's son's unconventional person, such as Yan Shifan and descendants of Xu Wenzhen, regardless of whether they were virtuous or not, they would have unscrupulous descendants."
After the Wei Chao mentioned the Jinyiwei report to Fang Congzhe's son Fang Shihong's night stay at an actor in front of Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao asked about the case of Fang Shihong's suspected murder of a prostitute in the 46th year of Wanli.
Wei Chao took this and said a few words, implying that Fang Congzhe might be a treacherous minister like Yan Song, and by the way, he would test Zhu Youxiao's attitude towards Fang Congzhe.
Zhu Youxiao also knew what Wei Chao wanted to express, but he refused to let Wei Chao find his pulse and said, "Fang Congzhe is not Yan Song, and I am not Shimiao (Jiajing). Although Yan Song is a treacherous minister, he still has some skills in assisting the king."
"What your Majesty said."
Wei Chao said with a smile, but he didn't know how to continue saying it. He thought to himself what His Majesty meant. Let's tell the original words to our ancestors later.
However, at this time, Zhu Youxiao suddenly said: "You ask the Jinyiwei to monitor the Fang Mansion and see who will go to Fang Mansion!"
After hearing this, Wei Chao was overjoyed and thought that His Majesty was still the other party Congzhe who was not completely relieved.
"yes!"
Wei Chao, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, immediately responded.
...
Xu Guangqi's residence.
Sun Chengzong rushed to find Xu Guangqi late at night.
"Zixian, do you know that the officials and officials are all in charge of the official department and Duke Wei will be punished for death! He will be sentenced to prison soon!"
As soon as Sun Chengzong saw Xu Guangqi, he started talking to Xu Guangqi.
Xu Guangqi, whose courtesy name was Zixian, and both were Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli, so they had always had a good relationship.
So, as soon as Sun Chengzong knew about Wei Dazhong, he came to Xu Guangqi.
Xu Guangqi was very calm, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Is that so, who told you?"
Sun Chengzong nodded: "It was Yizhi (Zuo Guangdou) who told me that Yuan Fu is really tolerant of others now, and he wants His Majesty to kill the censor!"
Xu Guangqi smiled slightly: "Brother Zhisheng, don't be anxious. I already know this, but in Xu's opinion, this matter is not unsolvable. After all, Yuan Fu wants to kill the slogan, and it is not that His Majesty really wants to kill the slogan."
Sun Chengzong also nodded: "I naturally know that Wei Dazhong cannot be killed. Although this person is a Donglin Party, he is not a treacherous minister and an evil official. How can he be considered dead!"
Xu Guangqi laughed and said, "Your Majesty went to Yang Lian to the prison that day instead of killing him directly, which means that Your Majesty has no intention of killing him, and Your Majesty has been waiting for someone to plead for Yang Lian, so that he can give that person face and let Yang Lian go, but this person should be Yuan Fu."
"How can I explain this?"
Sun Chengzong asked.
"Brother Zhisheng, I will say it clearly. Nowadays, you Donglin and others are in control of Yanlu, and are very disagreeable with Fang Congzhe and other important officials. You have even asked the Emperor Daxing to issue an edict to summon Ye Xianggao, who was supported by Donglin, to the capital, to enter the cabinet, and to change the chief minister. The struggle between the censor and the six ministries of the cabinet is getting more and more intense. Now Your Majesty seems to be quite wise and should see this phenomenon. Therefore, he does not want Donglin and Fang Congzhe and others to have a quarrel. His Majesty put Yang Gong in prison, although it was because Yang Gong was anxious and forgot the courtesy of the monarch and his ministers for a while, I am afraid that your Majesty will also beat you Donglin and don't forget that the Ming Dynasty is the final decision. By the way, you can also see how many officials belong to the Donglin Party. In addition, it is to see if Fang Congzhe will forgot personal grudges for the overall situation and plead for Yang Gong."
Xu Guangqi sighed as he said: "It's a pity that Fang Congzhe obviously wants to take this opportunity to suppress your Donglin Party in order to maintain his position as prime minister!"
As he said that, Xu Guangqi slapped the table heavily: "This Congzhezhen is a very treacherous person like a loyal person! On the surface, he is actually a member of the party. Just like he blindly opposed the envoys in North Korea to supervise North Korea, he only knows how to pursue his own selfishness, but does not care about the interests of the country!"
Sun Chengzong nodded: "You are right. If you want to save Yang Gong and Wei Gong, you have to rely on Fang Congzhe. After all, he is Yuanfu of the Three Dynasties."
"We'd better go and meet him."
Sun Chengzong took the initiative to propose.
