Huang Zongxi was slightly stunned, not understanding what Chen Mingyu meant, or that he knew it in his heart, but he didn't care.At this time, Zhao Ming had already taken a car and entered the Guoshe Pavilion, and after a while, the door was opened, and the guards inside began to beckon everyone to enter.This huge meeting room, which was opened last year, has a layout that is very different from the traditional Chinese hall.The conference room faces north and south, and on the north side is a high platform with a long table and chairs on it, where cabinet members make reports, and below is a row of seats facing the high platform, which can accommodate five or six hundred people for meetings at the same time.Since last year, when he ascended to the high platform and made reports to hundreds of officials, Huang Zongxi has liked it, and the feeling of giving reports to officials has made him feel powerful and in a high position.The hundreds of officials who listened to the report in the audience were also proud to participate in the conference, and hoped that one day, they would also sit on the high platform to summarize the affairs of the imperial court for the past year and enjoy the future.At this time, behind the long table on the high platform, eight seats were arranged, and in front of the seats were a sign with each person's name written on it.Zhao Ming's brand is placed in the middle, with Chen Mingyu and Du Yinxi on both sides, and although Huang Zongxi has not been in the cabinet for a long time and has relatively short qualifications, the brand is close to Chen Mingyu, and it is still in front of Chen Zilong and Jiang Yueguang, next to Chen Mingyu.At this time, under the high platform, many officials had already taken their seats, and the cabinet members had also sat down, Huang Zongxi sat next to Chen Mingyu, his eyes jumped over Chen Mingyu, and he glanced at Du Yinxi.Huang Zongxi is not satisfied with his current position, his next goal is to remove Du Yinxi, drive him out of the cabinet, and sit in the position of second assistant, and then drive Chen Mingyu, who brought him into the cabinet, home and become the first assistant of the new Ming Dynasty.At this time, in the conference room, the officials were whispering about the contents of today's report, and at this time, a guard shouted: "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has arrived!"
”The huge conference room immediately quieted down, and the officials on and below the high platform, hundreds of people stood up in unison, staring at Zhao Ming, who was wearing a dragon robe and a winged crown, walked into the venue.After Zhao Ming's class returned to the dynasty, his prestige was further enhanced, and his authority was even greater than that of the emperor, but he was not the emperor.Although the current situation is very good, the officials will still wonder what the regent will do next.If you follow the practice of your predecessors in history, you should add Jiuxi and complete the process to ascend the throne as emperor.However, Zhao Ming did not show the intention of replacing the Ming Dynasty, which made the civil and military officials very puzzled, and they all had some doubts about the future situation.At this time, Zhao Ming walked to the middle and sat down, then smiled and waved his hand to invite everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "For the first time today, the widow is here to participate in the conference.Now that everyone is starting, let's start the process!
”The presiding officer of the conference, Huang Zongxi stood up with a red face and said to everyone: "Today's conference, I will announce the process of the conference, and then ask the regent to make an opening speech, report to the cabinet ministers, and finally summarize the regent!"
”At that moment, Huang Zongxi sat down, cleared his throat, and began to read, and at this moment, Jin Yiwei commanded Ma Jin and Zuo Du Yushi of the Inspectorate, but suddenly came in with a group of people and shackles.In the hall of the meeting, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the officials began to whisper, and there was an uproar.Jinyiwei and the Inspectorate are both the supervision agencies of the Ming Dynasty, and now they appear together, and they are still wearing shackles, which is clearly to arrest people.The arrest of people at the National Socialist Congress and the interference with the conduct of the congress showed that they had conclusive evidence and that they had the approval of cabinet officials and even the regent.As an official of the Ming Empire, being able to participate in the conference is a postgraduate examination that has been through political struggles for a long time, and his political sense of smell is very sensitive, and he immediately realized that things were not ordinary.Huang Zongxi was reading and reading, and when he found this phenomenon, he couldn't help but stop reading, frowned, and shouted: "Nonsense, what is this place, what time is it now, Yandu Yushi, what are you going to do?"
”On the high platform, Du Yinxi closed his eyes to recuperate, Chen Mingyu sweated on his forehead, he didn't expect the regent to move so quickly, and he actually arrested people directly at the conference.At this time, Zhao Ming said coldly: "It was the widow who approved their actions. ”Huang Zongxi's face was shocked, so he could only sit down, and the officials at the venue understood that it was the regent's instructions, and they were silent for a moment, and they didn't say anything at all.Zhao Ming immediately said to Yan Qiheng: "Yan Siji, you can do something!"
”Yan Qiheng nodded, and the imperial historians of the Inspectorate behind him led the Jinyi Guard, holding the arrest document sealed by the Inspectorate, walked among the many officials, and showed the documents to the few officials sitting among them."
Qian Siye, the propaganda director of the Ministry of Rites, you are suspected of accepting bribes, the evidence is conclusive, and you are now arrested and imprisoned for review!"
Yushi handed the document in front of the official's eyes and announced it coldly.Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward, directly put on the shackles, and took the seat of the person."
Li Ke gave Huang Fu in the matter, you are suspected of picking up bribes and interfering with the administration of the imperial court, and now arrest you and put you in prison for review!"
…… One official after another was taken out of his seat, most of them Huang Zongxi's henchmen, which made him pale and extremely angry."
Regent, the matter is still unclear, and the ministers are against putting shackles on them and taking them away from here!"
Huang Zongxi hurriedly saluted Zhao Ming.From the site of the National Socialist Party Congress, he was taken away by the Inspectorate with shackles, and in less than a day, the news would spread throughout Nanjing, and the political life of the people who were taken away would basically be over.Many of these people are only forty or fifty years old, and they can work for at least a few more decades, enough to climb to higher positions, but now their futures are completely ruined, which is really unfair to an official who has served the court for decades and dedicated everything to the court.Huang Zongxi was indignant, but Yan Qiheng and Ma Jin walked in front of him, took out the arrest document and said: "Huang Zongxi, a cabinet scholar, is suspected of collusion between officials and businessmen, trading all money, and privately accepting shares of Huijin, Dongchang, Changsheng and other Jiajia firms, involving a huge amount of money, and I hereby order you to be examined!"
”Huang Zongxi's face was as if he was dead, but he didn't expect that even he was on the list of arrests, and the whole person was instantly stunned.Ma Jin saw Huang Zongxi's face pale, so he immediately said: "Old Huang Ge, go by yourself!"
The lower officials won't shackle you!
”Officials are greedy, especially in the Ming Dynasty, that is a very normal thing, and it is also the unspoken rule of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Zongxi did not expect that Zhao Ming would break this unspoken rule, he accepted bribes, it is indeed the truth, and the other party said the name of the bribe firm, which means that they have the evidence.Huang Zongxi couldn't quibble, so he could only walk off the high platform, was taken away by the brocade guard, and when he was about to go out, he tripped over the threshold and almost fell to the ground.The whole venue was silent, and no one expected that there would be such a change, and they didn't know how to react for a while.At this time, Zhao Ming patted the shocked wood with a smile, and said to Chen Mingyu: "Chen Ge Lao, the conference continues, and you will preside over it!"
