Dongchang's actions can be said to be above board, without any concealment.
When Hou Guoxing escorted Liu Fengzhong into Beijing, the high-ranking officials in the capital who had already slept and who had not slept all got the news one after another and had to get together to discuss countermeasures.
This is not the first time it has happened – it has happened.
This time it was Fu Changzong's mansion, and the two people in the cabinet, five of the six Shangshu, and seven of them gathered in the pavilion, all of them were a little solemn.
Their concerns about Wei Zhongxian come from his glorious past as well as his unknown means.
The emergency yamen is in power, there is no restraint, if they really want to do something, they don't even have a chance to deal with the aftermath!
Everyone was silent for a while, and then Shen Xun asked, "What news is there from the Overseer's Yuan?"
"There is no news from his criminal department, and he will not have it if he wants to come to the Governor's Yuan, but he still can't help but ask.
The Governor's Yuan is in the hands of King Jing, this person is the prince of the clan, and these adults are now avoiding him, intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to push the clan out of the decision-making circle of the imperial court.
Fu Changzong is relatively close to King Jing, and when he heard this, he shook his head and said: "There is no special movement on the side of the Governor's Yuan, and preparations are being stepped up, selecting people, and arranging the Governor's Yuan in various places, I am afraid that there is no time to pay attention to Wei Zhongxian's side, but the Anti-Corruption Bureau is very active, and I have to ask King Jing for details." ” Everyone nodded silently, the Governor's Yuan, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple were all busy with the local layout and completing the goal of 'political reform', which was their top priority.
Xu Dahua, as a former eunuch of the party, was most worried about him, and said with a worried face: "Wei Zhongxian has already done it, what should we do now?"
” Zhou Yingqiu knows a lot about Wei Zhongxian, and he has not been in vain in the Ministry of Officials all these years, his expression is as calm as iron, and he said indifferently: "We don't know anything about what Wei Zhongxian wants to do and how to do it......
Watching from the sidelines, we need to make a move when we need to do it, otherwise it will only add chaos to chaos and will not help stability. ” Zhou Yingqiu's words are naturally reasonable, but they make sense, and they can't solve the worries in their hearts.
Wei Zhongxian's means and the power he holds now can overthrow Beizhili!
Shen Yongmao is most worried about military power, Wei Zhongxian has already mastered the 2,000 men and horses of the Jingdong battalion, as well as the 2,000 cavalry of the Dongchang Factory, if there is a little more, there may be something uncontrollable!
That's something they absolutely can't tolerate!
Shen Yongmao said, "The patrol battalion is on standby day and night, and it should protect the safety of the Beijing Division, if you are in the palace, can you protect it?"
” Everyone looked slightly startled, and then thought for a moment.
The forbidden army is now under the control of the deputy commander Li Sizhong, Li Sizhong is a 'second minister', a traitor to the Ming and the gold, in this era of extremely demanding character requirements, Li Sizhong is not worthy of their trust at all.
However, Li Sizhong is a surrendered person after all, and the imperial court must show tolerance and generosity, and secondly, there is a Li Cairen in it, who is considered a foreign relative, and cannot be taken lightly.
Sun Chengzong understood, and thought about it, "Later, I will enter the palace to ask to see the Queen Mother, and ask the Queen Mother to make some adjustments to the arrangement of the forbidden army, and at the same time curb Li Sizhong's power." ” Although women can't interfere in politics, it is no problem to ask Empress Dowager Zhang to adjust the palace ban at this time, Li Sizhong will not object, and their courtiers will not.
Bi Ziyan nodded slightly, and said: "Later, this official will call the six doors, the Criminal Department, the Supervision Yuan and other people involved in the emergency yamen to the cabinet and talk about it seriously. ” Everyone had no opinion, Xu Dahua was unwilling, and was just about to speak, when suddenly there was a commotion of gongs and drums outside the palace.
"What happened?"
Shen Xun stood up violently and shouted towards the door.
The others also turned their heads away, and lately they were all a little nervous, and their hearts were beating at the slightest hint of the wind.
Xu Jie, the secretary of the cabinet, hurriedly walked in and said, "I have already sent someone to ask, you lords later." ” Everyone frowned, and Shen Xun also sat down patiently.
It is an eventful time in the capital, and no matter how big or small it is, it cannot be treated lightly.
It didn't take long for Xu Jie to come to the report, with a somewhat strange expression, and said: "Back to your lords, it is Dongchang Hou Guoxing escorting the river.
Liu Fengzhong, the prefect of the intergovernmental government, was parading the streets. ” "Parade?"
Everyone's brows furrowed even tighter, what does Wei Zhongxian mean by this?
What kind of calculations?
I can't guess it, Bi Ziyan said in a deep voice, "Send someone to keep an eye on it, every move of the East Factory must be reported, and there must be no delay, understand?"
” The high-level officials of the imperial court obviously regarded Wei Zhongxian as the number one enemy, Xu Jie understood, and said, "Yes, the lower officials will arrange it." ” At the same time, Hou Guoxing rode a high-headed horse, led twenty horsemen, and escorted Liu Fengzhong into the city.
Liu Fengzhong was locked in a cage, and behind him were well-guarded flat cars, all of which were antiques, calligraphy and paintings, real money, and thick silver tickets, which were opened for viewing.
At first glance, it is incredible, even the rich may not be able to get so much at once.
The people on both sides beat gongs and drums and shouted loudly.
"River.
Liu Fengzhong, the prefect of the intergovernmental government, embezzled and accepted bribes, and the dirty silver and stolen goods exceeded 300,000 taels ......"
"After being reported by the people, it is now arrested and brought to justice, and escorted to the Criminal Department for trial!"
"Punish the former and the latter, treat the disease and save people, turn yourself in and surrender, and give a lighter punishment!"
Dangdangdang Such a big movement has aroused the onlookers of the people in the capital, and there are real objects in front of them, which is seeing is believing!
"Down with corrupt officials!"
"Support the new policy of the imperial court and purge corrupt officials!"
"Shoot him!"
The enthusiasm of the people was fierce, and stones, rotten eggs, and everything that could be thrown were desperately smashed at Liu Fengzhong.

Liu Fengzhong shrank his body as hard as he could, his face full of nervousness and panic.
There was such a time, he had to shed his skin even if he didn't die!
Hou Guoxing escorted Liu Fengzhong all the way to the Criminal Department, and Liao Changyong was already waiting.
Hou Guoxing dismounted, raised his hand with a solemn face, and said: "Lord Liao, the prisoner Liu Fengzhong has been escorted, and the human and material evidence is complete, please take the criminal department into custody and transfer it to Dali Temple for trial as soon as possible." ” Liao Changyong had just gotten the news, and he was a little uncomfortable listening to Hou Guoxing's high-sounding words.
When did Dongchang pay so much attention to it?
So above board?
However, they Shangshu didn't want the situation to expand, and it was naturally very good to be able to control the prisoner in his hands, so he raised his hand and said: "There is Lord Laohou, and the lower officials will accept it."
As soon as he said that, he waved his hand, and the officers of the Criminal Department hurried out, taking people and people, counting the stolen goods, and being busy in full swing.
After the criminal department counted correctly, Hou Guoxing raised his hand to Liao Changyong and said, "It's an official matter, take your leave." ” Liao Changyong was not very suitable for the 'reasonable' East Factory, so he could only return the salute in a daze; ” There are countless pairs of eyes staring at every move of Dongchang, and it has spread all over the capital in a short time.
Everyone is blinded, what is Dongchang going to do?
It's impossible to guess!
Especially when it came to the cabinet, a group of people were silent.
If Dongchang talks about the rules, the sun will not come out, there must be a conspiracy here!
That's what everyone is saying.
