In April, the imperial court decided to form a three-law division composed of Wang Ji, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, Zou Yuanbiao, the censor of Zuodu, and Zhou Yingqiu, the minister of Dali Temple, to jointly try the cases of Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen.
On the night of the preliminary trial, Wei Zhongxian presented the record of the trial process to Zhu Youxiao, which was recorded by the inspector who heard the trial in Dongchang.
The first person to be interrogated was Xiong Tingbi.
Xiong Tingbi first knelt before the Three Laws Division, and then stood up immediately: "I started from the fields, and I was reinstated as a manager.
The original plan was to station me in Shanhaiguan, and there was no decision to station me in Guangning.
Guangning If it is lost, the fault lies with Wang Huazhen."
Zou Yuanbiao, the censor of Zuodu, sternly refuted: "I have already said that losing land and losing a city is a combination of merit and crime.
Do you still want to shirk responsibility?"
Because this was what the emperor said, Xiong Tingbi could not refute.
Then Xiong Tingbi raised objections to his "arraignment".
Zou Yuanbiao went on to say: "I have repeatedly received clear orders for interrogation, and there are also words of confirmation of trial, but you actually ignore that you must be sent to the Ministry of Punishment and jailed today.
The right and wrong are self-evident, and you cannot resist the order."
Xiong Tingbi was dissatisfied and argued: "I listened to questions under a clear decree, not sent questions.
How can you put me in jail if I wrote clearly?"
The two argued for a long time.
Wang Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, took over and said: "If you don't want to enter the Ministry of Punishment, please ask the Jinyiwei Qiwei to accompany you to stay in Tianxian Temple for a day.
We will report to the emperor and ask for a ruling."
Xiong Tingbi had no choice but to ask the emperor to issue an order to arrest him.
After interrogating Xiong Tingbi, Zou Yuanbiao and Wang Ji both said in a polite tone: "Please come over, Governor Wang."
As soon as Wang Huazhen entered the lobby, she knelt down and cried bitterly, saying: "I am the only one who knows my pain, and it is difficult to express it in words."
As he said this, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.
Zou Yuanbiao and Wang Ji both said: "You must admit your sins, and there will be a day when you can return to court."
After comforting them for a while, they both stood up and "bowed away" with Wang Huazhen without scrutinizing them.
Zhu Youxiao asked: "Why do Zou Yuanbiao and Wang Ji have such different attitudes towards them?
Why did Zhou Yingqiu say nothing?"
Wei Zhongxian carefully replied: "Replying to the emperor, Zou Yuanbiao and Wang Ji are both members of the Donglin Party, Xiong Tingbi is a member of the Chu Party, and Wang Huazhen is also a Donglin Party member and a disciple of Ye Xueshi.
Zhou Yingqiu is not a Donglin Party member, so his words are of no use. ” Zhu Youxiao laughed, that's why.
It seems that the information about his previous life is wrong.
Not all Donglin Party members are loyal and loyal.
They are obviously the same party and oppose different parties.
So he said: "How dare Donglin Party members favor their own people so unscrupulously and attack people from other parties?"
" "When I was young, I once heard someone say that Zuo Guangdou of the Donglin Party once said: If you are not a comrade, you are an enemy."
"Haha, it's interesting.
If you are not a comrade, you are an enemy.
It seems that the Donglin Party wants to dominate the family.
One-party dictatorship is undesirable at any time.
Please check carefully for me, which party does each minister in the DPRK belong to?
Party members, I want to engage in multi-party cooperation and will never allow you to be a one-party dictatorship.”
Although Wei Zhongxian didn't understand what the emperor was saying, he at least understood what he wanted to do.
So after bowing out and exiting, he immediately asked someone to sort out the party affiliations of the ministers in order to report to the emperor.
After Zhu Youxiao heard Zuo Guangdou's famous saying, he had some thoughts in his heart, so he summoned Wang Tiqian and asked: "Can you check who won the Jinshi first, Xu Guangqi or Sun Chengzong."
Wang Tiqian bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I remember that both of them were Jinshi in the thirty-second year of Wanli."
Zhu Youxiao said curiously: "You all remember clearly the time when you were selected as a Jinshi.
You are so good."
Wang Tigan shook his head repeatedly: "I just made a statistics on the information of officials above the fourth rank to prepare for the emperor's inquiry at any time."

Zhu Youxiao said: "The two were Jinshi in the same year.
I remember that Xu Guangqi's official rank was always higher than that of Sun Chengzong.
Why did the cabinet and ministers object to my promotion of Xu Guangqi to the position of minister, but no one objected to Sun Chengzong's entry into the cabinet?"
Wang Tiqian lowered his head and said, "I dare not say anything."
"I'm sorry, just tell me."
"The servant believes that most of the cabinet members are from Donglin, and the ministers, especially the ministers, are mostly from Donglin, but Mr.
Xu is not from Donglin."
Zhu Youxiao thought that this should be the case.
He smiled and said: "Wang Tiqian, who else is there in your family?"
Wang Tiqian knelt down on the ground: "My parents died early, and now I still have one brother, one brother, nephews, nieces and others in the family."
"Have you ever thought about choosing one of your nephews to adopt you as your incense?"
Wang Tiqian kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, this is what I have dreamed about."
Because eunuchs cannot have children, many eunuchs will adopt a son to inherit their incense.
In the Ming Dynasty, if eunuchs wanted to adopt a step-son, they had to ask for it from the emperor.
Of course, they did it secretly.
Yes, but that cannot be recognized by others.
"Well, you are really good at doing things.
I will give you a nephew to adopt your name and inherit your incense."
Wang Tiqian was so excited that his whole body trembled.
In order to avoid losing his etiquette before him, he waited until he was far away from the imperial study room before he started to cry loudly.
However, there was a hint of uncontrollable joy in his cry
