My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Jinyiwei Prison.

The cells were crude and the prison was foul-smelling.

Yu Zhongchao sat on the straw on the floor of this cell with disheveled hair, his face numb and indifferent.

Yan Qing walked slowly, his steady footsteps echoed slightly in the dark and damp corridor of Jinyiwei Prison.

Yu Zhongchao raised his head suddenly, looking at Yan Qing with awe-inspiring eyes, without any fear.

Yan Qing smiled indifferently: "Yu Zhongchao, don't think that you are safe if you hold the ministers hostage, but for His Majesty, regardless of other things, just talking about your decades of corruption is enough to sentence you to death!"

Yu Zhongchao laughed wildly: "Your Majesty is so wise. The ancient sages don't believe in old age. Can a sage hold a group of moths under their noses? If your majesty does not punish them today, it will be the same in the future. All in all, these people will not feel at ease... …

Therefore, they will rescue the old man at all costs outside, at least, to save the old man's life.

Otherwise, even if the old man turns into a ghost, he will not let them go! "

Yan Qing pouted and smiled.

What Yu Zhongchao relies on is nothing more than his own account in his heart. Over the years, he has corrupted and bribed the courtiers, or in other words, many Beijing officials and local officials in the court have huge handles in his hands. As long as he is in prison Before Zhong speaks, these people outside will try to save him.

Yan Qing said calmly: "Yu Zhongchao, you think too much."

Yu Zhongchao's voice became deep and deep: "The management of the old man in the past few decades is beyond the imagination of the Marquis of Yan, even if he is a cabinet minister, a relative of the emperor, the old man..."

Yan Qing was indifferent when he heard the words, and his eyes were like knives: "What you said is nothing more than Guo Zhishun and Guo Xiang. There are also six ministers like Chen Zixuan. But for Your Majesty, these are not bargaining chips that can keep you alive."

Yan Qing turned and walked away: "Plead guilty as soon as possible, Your Majesty can allow you to commit suicide, your family will be confiscated, and your family members will not be harmed after the family assets are confiscated, and your whole body will be left. If you persist in your obsession, hundreds of members of your family will be buried with you .

In addition, I might as well tell you that Guo Zhishun has personally imprisoned his son Guo Liang in Jinyiwei Prison, and he himself is pleading guilty in front of the palace gate. "

Yan Qing walked away.

Only Yan Qing understood what the emperor meant.

There are too many courtiers and local officials involved in Yu Zhongchao, except for a few predators, Wang Lin is not going to catch them all.

He still understands the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

Some small fish and shrimps and so on, let the past be forgotten.

Moreover, only in this way can the emperor's goal of a major reshuffle of the court be realized, and at the same time prevent major shocks in the court and the public.

Originally, Guo Zhishun's son Guo Liang could also be let go.

However, Yu Zhongchao used the Guo family as his trump card and reliance. If Guo Liang was not brought to justice, Yu Zhongchao would definitely not give up.

After Yan Qing left, Yu Zhongchao's complexion instantly turned gray and gloomy.

In fact, he was just holding on just now, trying to make some kind of exchange with the emperor with the bargaining chip in his hand.

But he himself knew that Wang Lin was not an ordinary emperor, but a generation of sage kings rare in the ages. The emperor didn't like the card in his hand at all.

But the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, he can't just kill him, he always has to thump and struggle again to see if there is still a glimmer of life.

There was a crazy luster in Yu Zhongchao's eyes.

Royal study.

Yang Yizhong walked in slowly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Guo Xiang is pleading guilty outside the Chaotian Gate. Guo Liang has been sent by Guo Xiang to Jinyiwei Prison."

Wang Lin nodded slightly and said, "How's the court's reaction?"

"Some people were shocked, but there were also many people who tried to muddy the water, clamoring that Guo Zhishun should be dismissed, and Guo Liang should be asked to be executed."

Wang Lin chuckled: "These people just want to test me and see my attitude.

Yang Yizhong, this is not enough, let's add fire to them.You go to pass on Yan Qing and order Jin Yiwei to spread the news. Yu Zhongchao has an account book of collusion with the officials of the court. Currently Jin Yiwei is tortured and threatened Yu Zhongchao to confess. "

Yang Yizhong took orders and left.

Wang Lin thought about it for a while, then turned his head and rushed to Shangguanqing and said, "It's too late to catch Guo Liang alone. Order Jin Yiwei to arrest Chen Zixuan and other descendants of the six chief officials who are involved in the case."

……

The last fire was lit.

If Guo Liang, the son of Guo Zhishun, was escorted by Guo Zhishun and surrendered himself, it was the first card that overturned the dominoes, then Jin Yiwei subsequently arrested Chen Zixuan and other six chief officials, which became the accelerator to completely overthrow the chess game.

Zheng Lan, Minister of Rites, Gong Chao, Minister of Hubu, Chen Zixuan, Minister of Industry, Dong Haoda, Minister of Ministry of Industry, Peng Zhengning, Minister of Criminal Justice, and Jiang Wanhai, Minister of Criminal Justice, the six big bosses finally couldn't sit still. In fact, their situation was similar to that of Guo Zhishun. What the family bought privately was nothing more than the dudes of their family.

Chen Zixuan and the six finally understood that the emperor had already swung the butcher's knife at them.

Ever since the case of Cheng Yuanjing, the emperor had been thinking about taking them down, but he was worried about the turmoil in the court, so he didn't take action for a long time.

The Yu Zhongchao case is a card that can be released at any time under the control of the emperor.

Originally, Chen Zixuan and others still had a little luck in their hearts, thinking that the emperor would forgive Guo Zhishun.

From Guo Zhishun's attitude of taking the initiative to plead guilty, they knew that they would not be spared.

The six people had a strong sense of sadness in their hearts.

Conscious that the emperor was unfair, in order to remove obstacles, let Zhang Jun and others take over, and complete the major reshuffle of the court structure, he actually set up such a big trap.

Knowing that it was a trap, they had no choice but to jump into it in order to protect themselves.

Chaotianmen.

Chen Zixuan and other six people led six ministries of more than a hundred courtiers to gather at Chaotianmen one by one with indifferent faces, kneeling facing the palace.

And on the other side of this group of people was Guo Zhishun who was pleading guilty.

In fact, at the gate tower of the palace, the emperor Wang Lin, Li Gang and others, the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, Yan Qing of the Jin Yiwei, Yang Yizhong of the Imperial Forest Army, and the female officer Shangguan Qing have all been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Chen Zixuan and six people coming slowly, Li Gang sighed in his heart.

If Chen Zixuan had Guo Zhishun's courage, and immediately abandoned the dude involved in the case in his family, not to mention pleading guilty, or the last memorial to plead guilty, I am afraid that the emperor would not have an excuse to swing a knife.

However, they still chose this form of expressing their appeals, which was deeply dreaded and disgusted by the emperor, and forced the palace in groups.

Thinking that the law does not blame the public, and coercing many courtiers, they can be exempted from responsibility.

However, stupid as hell.

The more they are like this, the more determined the emperor is.

And Li Gang, Wu Min, Zong Ze, etc. also knew that the root of the conflict between the emperor and the six courtiers headed by Chen Zixuan was the struggle between the power of the scholar-bureaucrats and the imperial power, and the emperor could not give in.

Obviously, people like Chen Zixuan also harbored the intention of dying.

Huang Qishan gritted his teeth, and secretly thought that Chen Zixuan and these people were old-fashioned, and now Dayan was no longer the former Song Dynasty when he ruled the world with scholar-bureaucrats.

The current monarch is rare in ancient times. He is about to monopolize power and create great achievements. How can he accept the constraints of scholar-bureaucrats?

You are still holding on to the old ideas and intending to confront the emperor, are you not looking for a dead end?

Hit the stone with an egg.

Huang Qishan sighed: "Your Majesty, although these six people are somewhat pedantic, they are capable. I don't know Your Majesty..."

Wang Lin waved his hand decisively and interrupted Huang Qishan's words. He knew what Huang Qishan meant, but his attitude had already been shown here, and he was unshakable.

People who are not strong can use it, although they can't use it very much.

But people with problematic attitudes, no matter how powerful they are, cannot use them.

This is his bottom line.

Standing on the palace gate tower, Wang Lin said indifferently: "Chen Zixuan, as the ministers of the six ministries, you once again screamed at the palace gate and did this thing of forcing the palace again and again. Could it be that you want to rebel?"

Chen Zixuan's face was gloomy. He slowly got up and looked up at the wise and mighty emperor.

He recognized the current monarch as the eternal sage.

But he still wanted to fight for living space for scholar-bureaucrats.

Chen Zixuan said loudly: "Your Majesty, how dare the ministers force the palace? Why talk about treason? The ministers do not come here for private matters. If the rebellious sons of the ministers are involved in the case of Yu Zhongchao, but according to His Majesty's handling, the ministers will never dare to say no." Character.

I am waiting for today, but I am just knocking on the sky. I ask Your Majesty to abolish the Jinyiwei, at least to abolish the Jinyiwei's power to detect courtiers, expel people from foreign races who have entered the court, and raise troops to leave the customs as soon as possible to avenge my [-] people who died tragically in Yongzhou! "

Wang Lin couldn't help laughing.

Chen Zixuan is still a little clever.

He clearly came here for official business, and threw out their old arguments a few days ago, turning over old scores, and it was nothing more than a curveball to save the country.

Wang Lin ignored Chen Zixuan, but slowly walked down the palace gate step by step, and exited the Chaotian Gate.

Of course, Li Gang and others followed closely behind.

Wang Lin looked around at the six courtiers behind Chen Zixuan, and said calmly: "There are many people involved in the case of Yu Zhongchao, but I don't want to concoct unjust cases, so I ordered Jin Yiwei to stop here.

This is the detailed account book recorded by Yu Zhongchao with the people in the court and the local officials. Today, I will burn it in front of all my lovers. "

Jin Yiwei fetched the booklet, and Wang Lin took out a thick account book from his pocket, and lightly lit it.

Seeing the flames blazing and the account book reduced to ashes, Wang Lin said indifferently: "The past is the past, and I don't blame everything for it. I don't know what you think about my punishment like this?"

After Chen Zixuan's death, the six courtiers suddenly shouted long live.

Wang Lin waved his hand, and the courtiers stood up one after another, bowed deeply to the emperor, and then resolutely retreated.

Chen Zixuan and the six looked at each other, their faces even more bleak.

It turned out that the emperor didn't intend to make a major case of Zhulian from the very beginning, and it was only the six of them who wanted to move.

Chen Zixuan was disheartened for a while, in despair, he suddenly bowed and slammed into the stone lion in the Chaotian Gate.

Everyone exclaimed.

Immediately, a figure flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and the emperor's tall and straight figure was lying in front of Chen Zixuan, and he held Chen Zixuan's shoulder firmly with one hand, making him unable to move.

"If you want to seek death, I won't stop you. But you have to think clearly, if you splash blood on the palace gate here, you will force me to kill and kill you all, leaving no one behind."

After Wang Lin finished speaking, he let go of his hand and took the time to retreat behind.
