Domineering Daming

The master next to Fan Yiheng suddenly rolled his eyes, and whispered in Fan Yiheng's ear: "My lord, according to the new system of the court, our yamen does not have the right to decide cases. Escort to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

The corner of Fan Yiheng's face twitched, does the Ministry of Punishment have the right?The Minister of the Ministry of Justice is still in Liaodong, who dares to preside over the case of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?

At the same time, the lobby of the Ministry of Justice was silent.

Zhou Yingqiu's nephew was kneeling on the ground, holding a letter in his hand, which he said earlier was "handwritten by Fujian governor Huang Chengyuan", which was evidence of Zhou Yingqiu's collusion with Huang Chengyuan to form a party for personal gain.

Liao Changyong, head of the criminal department, kept changing his expression. Based on his years of investigating cases, this matter was not simple. It was not the muddy water he could swim in. It would drown people, many people!

One of Zhou Yingqiu's students in Dali Temple claimed that Zhou Yingqiu had accepted his bribe but failed to do what he promised, so he came to denounce him.

Some people from the Supervisory Council are also convening a meeting. The topic of the discussion is "Corruption of Corruption".

Chapter 501

Zhou Yingqiu has served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials for nearly five years. His position is high and powerful, and he has won the trust of the emperor. He is very important in Ming Dynasty, even one of the most important people!

He was denounced, even though no one dared to interrogate him, it spread throughout the capital in less than half an hour, and there were many discussions in the streets and alleys.

"Have you heard? Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials was denounced by his servants, and the Shuntian Mansion didn't dare to interrogate him. They just detained him and waited for the emperor to return to Beijing..."

"Not only the servant, but also one of his students, who sued him for taking the money and not doing anything, is suing at Dali Temple, but Dali Temple doesn't dare to interrogate..."

"Hey, I heard that all his nephews have come out, accusing him of colluding with the officials of the frontier, forming a party for personal gain, and plotting wrongdoing!"

"Hey, the emperor is not here, who dares to investigate, I heard that people are detained by various yamen, waiting for the emperor to return to Beijing..."

"However, I heard that the Governor's Council is very lively, and they are preparing to investigate the Ministry of Officials..."

"Investigate the bureaucracy? Does the Governor's Council have such power?"

"I know, I read the column of powers and responsibilities outside the gate of the Governor's Office, and it says: 'Inspect government affairs, under six departments', it should be possible to check, but, there should be a purpose, right?"

"At least there should be an edict from Wenzhao Pavilion, but now that the emperor and the prince are not in the capital, the Governor's Council can't enter the Ministry of Officials, right?"

"If you want me to tell you, these are not important. This Zhou Shangshu is going to be in trouble. If there is such a big commotion, he will lose his official position even if he doesn't want his life!"

"If he loses his position, I'm afraid the government and the public will be shocked, and I don't know how many people will be involved..."

"Yeah, I heard that he has a lot of former students and old officials. He recommended several governors and governors. If he falls, I'm afraid these governors and governors will have to be replaced..."

"Since the Chongzhen Dynasty, the six ministers have been stable, so this is really a big deal..."

There were discussions everywhere in the teahouse, and they didn't deliberately avoid it.With the popularization of the morning newspaper, the people in the capital know more and more about the court, and their enthusiasm for paying attention continues to rise.

The second floor was occupied by three people. They all looked at each other and smiled proudly when they heard the discussion below.

Xiong Wenju turned his head to the side, looked at Zhang Pu who was facing him, and smiled happily: "Brother Zhang, this time Zhou Yingqiu will peel off his skin even if he is not dead, our chance has come!"

Sun Chengze took a sip of tea, and said with a smile all over his face: "Brother Zhang is still smart, and I don't know if tomorrow's morning newspaper will publish this matter. Don't they claim to publish everything in the big and small world affairs?" ?”

Zhang Pu sneered, and said with cold eyes: "The imperial court is far more stupid than Tianqi. During the Wanli period, officials and officials protected each other and shielded each other. I affirm that they will never ascend!"

Xiong Wenju's eyes were eager and impatient, and he stretched out his head and said, "They won't go up, let's do it! Brother Zhang, everything you asked me to do is already prepared, and everyone has been found. You can move at any time!"

Zhang Pu nodded, and said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, let these stupid officials take pride first. When they think the matter has been resolved, it is the best time for us to make a move!"

Sun Chengze immediately said in admiration: "Brother Zhang is still brilliant! By the way, Brother Zhang, when will Mr. Feng come to Beijing?"

Feng Gong, that is, Feng Quan.

Zhang Pu smiled and said, "Mr. Feng has always been in the capital."

Xiong Wenju was a little surprised, and immediately said: "That's great, with Feng Gong's support, we will enter the court as officials, and we will not be far away to wipe out the world!"

There was also excitement on Sun Chengze's face, and his mind was lifted.

Zhang Pu smiled, and his heart was quite moved.Although the Fushe has been disbanded, the relationship is still there. As long as he is admitted to the imperial examination, there will be a gathering of followers, and it will not be far away to reproduce the Zhongzhengying Dynasty in the Donglin period!

The three of them were very excited. Once Zhou Yingqiu fell, the consequences would be extensive. Not only in the capital, they would have the opportunity to rise up everywhere in Ming Dynasty!

Slowing down a bit, Xiong Wenju suddenly said: "By the way, Brother Zhang, Zhou Yingqiu has a high position and authority, and has won the emperor's trust. Why don't we use the excuse to threaten him to do things for us? He is much more important than Zhou Yanru?"

Sun Chengze was also taken aback, and immediately said: "That's right, brother Zhang, if Zhou Yingqiu is in hand, the officials in the world are still at our disposal, what else can't be done?"

Zhang Pu smiled slightly, confident and calm, and said, "Because I already have a better candidate."

Both Xiong Wenju and Sun Chengze were taken aback. Is there anyone more important than the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?

"Who is it?" Xiong Wenju asked.

Zhang Pu smiled without saying a word, but glanced towards his right hand. Opposite the teahouse was a branch of Huitong Commercial Bank!

Zhou Yingqiu is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the second leader of the imperial party, his every move has attracted much attention, let alone being reported by his family and students everywhere.

Regardless of whether it is private or official, it caused a huge shock.

Minister of Rites, Wen Tiren's mansion.

Tang Shiji, the former vice censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhang Jie and Shi Fan, the former censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, all gathered in Wen Tiren's mansion. They are all in the Governor's Council now. Although their official positions and salaries are different, their powers are the same. That is, when the imperial court is not dispatched, there is no trace of power!

Tang Shiji became the right servant of the Ministry of War in the second year of Tianqi. It stands to reason that he should also be an official with six ministers now, but he was left idle in the Governor's Council with nothing to do, so he felt very angry. Seeing that Zhou Yingqiu was about to fall, he couldn't wait to find his old friend discuss.

"Lord Wen." Tang Shiji glanced at Shi Fan and Zhang Jie, and said eagerly, "Zhou Yingqiu will be dismissed from office, and Zhang Woxu will be transferred. Which one do you want to fight for?"

Shi Fan and Zhang Jie were equally excited. They and Wen Tiren were not friends, but they were all "like-minded". They hoped to take advantage of Wen Tiren's still in the court to find opportunities to climb up.

If Zhang Wo continues to be transferred, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites will be vacant. If Zhou Yingqiu falls, there will be more than one minister of the Ministry of Officials!

Wen Tiren looked calm, and said with deep meaning in the corner of his mouth: "I don't want both."

Tang Shiji was startled, knowing that Wen Tiren was an ambitious person, he asked doubtfully, "Then, what does Mr. Wen like?"

Shi Fan and Zhang Jie are also wondering, the most important thing in the imperial court is the Six Departments, Wen Tiren is already the minister of the Ministry of Rites, besides the position of Shangshu, where else is there better?

Wen Tiren glanced at the three of them, a look of longing appeared on his face, and said with long eyes: "You don't know yet, the emperor has decided to restart the cabinet, and Xin Wang will also serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet."

Tang Shiji and the others' eyes lit up. Naturally, they didn't want to compete for the positions of ministers in the cabinet. Instead, with the cabinet, the six ministers may have to make further progress in the near future, so there will be more vacant positions!

The so-called one radish and one hole, first come, first served, there is no way to come again. Tang Shiji looked at Wen Tiren and said eagerly: "Brother Wen, is he optimistic about the position in the cabinet? Are you sure?" If Wen Tiren enters the cabinet, they will not be far away from promotion up.

Wen Tiren showed confidence on his face, and said: "Don't worry, by the way, Mr. Zhang, I want the things you prepared, how are you preparing?"

Hearing the words, Zhang Jie quickly said: "It's all ready, whenever Brother Wen wants it, I can play the impeachment at any time."

Wen Tiren's stomach bulged, and said: "Don't worry, let's see how Zhou Yingqiu responds first. With his ability, he probably won't be able to fall in a while."

When Tang Shiji heard this, the smile on his face grew stronger, and he said: "We are not in a hurry, the longer he struggles, the more people will be involved, let's just sit back and watch the tigers fight!"
