Chapter 118 The civil servants were suddenly panicked when they punished a group of treacherous officials!
Wu Changchun didn't expect that he would be tricked by the people of Xichang. He thought that Xichang, an organization that belonged to the minions of the Great Ming Dynasty, would not pay attention to their secret work of spying on Jiannu.
You must know that in the Ming Dynasty during this period, Jiannu was regarded by many people in the court, which was actually similar to the status of Song Jiang and his gang in the court in the Water Margin.
Therefore, even in the early years of Chongzhen, the Ming court still thought about how to pacify the Liao Dynasty, rather than how to prevent Jiannu from entering the Central Plains. It was difficult to wipe out a Tartar regime that repeatedly harassed Ming Dynasty.
Of course, most courtiers in Ming Dynasty were more keen on internal fighting and didn’t care much about foreign affairs.
The difference with Zhang Gui is that he is a time traveler and knows what happened behind the history, so it is impossible for him to just focus on the inside.
"You Xichang have been following us people for a long time!"
Wu Changchun also smiled coldly because of this, and after Zhang Gui said that, he just replied.
"Aren't you honored?"
Zhang Guida sat down with a golden knife, after a chair was moved by the Yixichang official school.
"Thank you for being worthy."
Wu Changchun replied.
Zhang Gui leaned back on the chair, and said: "This governor is different from them. This governor will not allow any attempt to harm my Ming's interests to succeed. Now this governor just asks you, do you want to live?"
Wu Changchun smiled wryly, and asked, "You must be Uncle Guo?"
Zhang Gui nodded.
"Sure enough!"
Wu Changchun replied, and said: "He Tianqi is lucky to meet such an uncle as you."
As he spoke, Wu Changchun asked, "Are you really going to spare my life?"
"Of course! As long as you are willing to work for our West Factory, we will give you the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Do you really want to be like Li Yongfang in the future and be made to kneel like a urinal?"
Zhang Gui asked.
Wu Changchun took a look at Zhang Gui and said, "Your conviction of traitor is indeed severe enough that my father-in-law was so angry that he vomited blood."
"No, how do you guys remember that you are still a Han Chinese?"
Zhang Gui asked after laughing.
Wu Changchun sneered: "Han people, Manchu people, Mongolians, what's the difference, but they are all human beings, they all want to be rich and honored, as long as they can get rich and honored, they can do nothing, don't they have to be slaves to the Zhu family in Fengyang?" ?”
"There is a difference!"
"For Bendu, there is a difference!"
"First of all, I don't want all the Han people in the world to be your slaves! That's why I suggested that the emperor should commit the crime of traitor."
"And you can't let all the Han people in the world be the slaves of his bannermen just because you want to be masters with Jiannu! At least the governor doesn't agree!"
Zhang Gui looked at Zhou Neng as he spoke: "Answer him, do you promise to let all the Han people in the world be the slaves of the barbarians and traitors?"
"Master Hui, don't agree!"
Zhou Neng replied.
Wu Changchun sighed: "Actually, as long as I am a master, there is no difference between being a banner man's slave and being a Zhu family's slave, including being your uncle's slave."
Zhang Gui sneered: "You should think about survival first!"
Wu Changchun smiled helplessly, and then asked Zhang Gui: "What do you want me to do?"
Zhang Guidao: "Let the student Ni Zhiyuan speak up!"
"OK!"
…
"Your Majesty! The factory guards have detained An Hanlin and Ni Shengyuan in prison for many days, and they should have been interrogated by now, and they should be given a clean slate. They can't just keep being locked up for no reason!"
When Zhang Gui was interrogating Wu Changchun, a group of courtiers including Zhou Chaorui and others took advantage of the dawn of the apocalypse to put pressure on Dongchang regarding the imperial edict of An Tong and student Ni Zhiyuan.
At this time, Ji Yingcheng, the left servant of the Ministry of War, also said: "Your Majesty, Mr. An has always been clean and honest. Now, for the sake of the safety of the Ming Dynasty, he is not afraid of the power of the powerful. He risked his life to expose the evils of the border ministers collaborating with the enemy. It is even more loyal. Even if it is true As Uncle Guo said, this is Jiannu's countermeasures, so we can't just keep announcing Mr. An all the time without giving a reason, so as to chill the hearts of loyal officials!"
As he spoke, Ji Yingcheng said, "Your Majesty, please return Mr. An's innocence!"
"Your Majesty, please restore Mr. An's innocence!"
"Your Majesty, please restore Mr. An's innocence!"
"Your Majesty, please restore Mr. An's innocence!"
For a while, many ministers began to remonstrate in this way, especially the Hanlin Qingliu who were present. They really didn't want to sit back and watch their colleague An Tong be imprisoned for no reason.
Wei Zhongxian, who was on the sidelines, was also sweating anxiously for a while, because Dongchang really didn't know how to get Ni Zhiyuan to admit that the evidence of Sun Chuanting's collaboration with the enemy was forged without extorting a confession by torture.
Tianqi also looked at Wei Zhongxian at this time: "Wei Zhongxian, have your Fusi of Dongchang Town got the result of the trial?"
"Go back to the emperor, slaves are incompetent, not yet."
Wei Zhongxian really wanted to say at this time that the sentence cannot be imposed, and there is no trial at all.
"Your Majesty, since Dongchang has not been tried, I think that An Hanlin and Ni Shengyuan should be acquitted! It is better to directly send someone to investigate the case of Sun Chuanting collaborating with the enemy or dismiss Sun Chuanting!"
Zhou Zhaorui said at this time.
Ji Yingcheng followed suit and said, "Your Majesty, I second the proposal, release An Hanlin and Ni Shengyuan immediately!"
"Second minister!"
"Second minister!"
"Second minister!"
…
Suddenly, many Hanlin Qingliu stood up and expressed their agreement with Zhou Chaorui and others.
"Your Majesty, uncle Guo please see me!"
At this time, Liu Ruoyu walked in and reported to Tianqi.
Tianqi said: "Xuan!"
Not long after, Zhang Gui walked in and reported to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, I am here today to ask your Majesty's quasi-chen to bring a criminal to the palace. This criminal is suspected of attempting to smuggle our Xishan artillery and firearms. More importantly, This person was instructed by Li Yongfang, the son-in-law of Jiannu, to do this, and he is Li Yongfang's son-in-law. Moreover, this person also colluded with the court ministers in an attempt to destroy our border affairs. Your Majesty, please interrogate me personally, and punish my colleagues in the Ming Dynasty's border affairs. Traitor!"
Li Yongfang's son-in-law?
Although Tianqi didn't know who Li Yongfang's son-in-law was, he was very familiar with Li Yongfang.
Because Li Yongfang was the first senior general of the Ming court to surrender and become a slave.
Li Yongfang became a guerrilla before he surrendered and became a slave. This is already a very high military position in the Ming court.
So, it can be said that Li Yongfang's influence is extremely bad.
Especially after Li Yongfang and the rebel general Sun Degong tricked Wang Huazhen and caused Daming to lose Guangning, Tianqi hated him to the bone.
Now that he heard that the prisoner is Li Yongfang's son-in-law, Tian Qi didn't hesitate, and hurriedly said: "Xuan!"
Soon, Wu Changchun was brought up, and Jin Yiwei forced him to kneel in front of Tianqi.
Seeing this, Tian Qi shouted: "Raise your head!"
Wu Changchun raised his head.
As soon as Wu Changchun raised his head, Zhou Chaorui, Ji Yingcheng and the others couldn't help but feel chills running down their backs. They didn't expect that Wu Changchun, who had been in contact with them as a martial artist, would be Li Yongfang's son-in-law!
Ruined!
"Are you really Li Yongfang's son-in-law?"
Apocalypse replied.
Wu Changchun replied: "Yes."
Tianqi asked again: "What proof?"
Wu Changchun replied: "I have a letter written by my father-in-law on me, as well as a belt badge bestowed by Jiannu Khan."
"Search!"
Apocalypse gave an order.
Yi Jin Yiwei searched Wu Changchun and handed it to Tian Qi.
Tianqi took it over to look at it, and asked Wu Changchun, "He told you in the letter to try your best to make the court kill Sun Chuanting and Zhou Yuji or depose them. What did you do?"
"Naturally, it is to bribe the ministers of the DPRK and China to speak for us."
Wu Changchun replied.
Tianqi asked again: "Which ministers are there?"
Wu Changchun glanced at Qian Longxi and Ji Yingcheng: "There is Ji Shilang of the Ministry of War, and there is also the Rites Zhou to advise, Gong..."
"Your Majesty! He is slandering the minister! He is slandering the minister!"
Zhou Chaorui was busy fighting for it at this time.
