Chapter 67 Risking Death to Impeach

On the top of the city, Man Gui Leng looked at these defeated soldiers and was very surprised.

When Li Fengxiang brought an oral message saying that Tongzhou's defeated troops were coming, he still couldn't understand it. After all, there was no movement at all at that time. Could it be that the emperor could just pinch him? Now, he is finally convinced!

This kind of defeated troops, not to mention the capital, even other important border defense towns would not let them enter the city.

Mangui has been dealing with Jianlu for many years, so he is naturally familiar with Jianlu's tricks. This kind of driving the broken troops mixed with spies is best if they are allowed into the city. If not, it can also demoralize the soldiers defending the city. It can be said that it is a useless trick!

But this time, the emperor had already given an oral order and it was spread throughout the city in advance. The soldiers who were guarding the city were as surprised as Man Gui when they saw it, and they had no doubt that there were spies among the defeated troops outside the city. Therefore, everyone firmly believed that these broken troops must not be allowed to enter the city. Invisibly, morale rose instead of falling!

Mangui was an old man in the army. Just by looking at the defeated troops outside the city, he knew that they were composed of King Qin's soldiers from different regions. It is not easy to detect spies.

Therefore, he immediately asked someone to shout a message: "Your Majesty has already issued an order. King Qin's army will obey Sun Ge Lao's orders. You are scattered back to the capital. It is obvious that Jianlu has mixed spies among you. If anyone continues to clamor to enter the city, ten Most likely he is a spy. If he is arrested and brought to see Mr. Sun Ge, it will be a great achievement!"

Previously, Guan Ning's army and King Qin's army were not allowed to enter the city, so these defeated troops outside the city only held a glimmer of hope, hoping that they would be able to enter the city with fewer people. Unexpectedly, when Chengtou said this, those who were shouting, whether they were spies or not, immediately shut up.

Especially those who were shouting that they were excited looked worriedly at the companions around them who were staring at them, suspecting that if they were not careful, they would be kidnapped to receive merit.

Mangui asked people to shout and then ignored him. While patrolling the city, he looked up from time to time in the direction of the imperial city. There was a trace of worry in my heart. With the chaos last night, someone obviously wanted to cause trouble. I wonder if the emperor can handle it?

Just as he feared, some people had already begun to make trouble during the court meeting.

Sun Li, the censor of Shandong Province, came out to report: "I have something extremely urgent, and I risk my life to report it to Your Majesty!"

When Hu Guang heard this, he frowned. This was a discussion about finance and taxation. First, they were dragged into the discussion of the assistant ministers' court, and then they shouted about urgent matters. If they were not accurate, wouldn't it mean that the priority was ignored?

The topic was dragged away unconsciously, which made him really unhappy. But he couldn't force it back, so he had no choice but to nod, which was considered correct.

"Your Majesty's policy is that those who want to take advantage of the emperor's salary should be the first to contribute money and efforts, so that our Ming emperors and ministers can work together to defend against foreign enemies. It is really wonderful."

What Sun Li was doing was related to the vital interests of thousands of civil and military officials here, so when they heard it, they all immediately turned to look at him. When they heard him praising this policy, many of them had expressions on their faces. Showing a trace of displeasure. There are even a few people who seem to be ready to show off at any time.

No one expected that Sun Li then changed the subject and said: "However, the factory guards have always been domineering and domineering for a long time. The former Wei Ni was an example. I impeached the commander of the Jinyiwei, Luo Yangxing, to bully others, take advantage of the opportunity to coerce and induce, enrich his own pockets, Dongchang Admiral Cao Huachun protected his colleagues and acted in collusion, which caused resentment among the people in the city. Even before the captives arrived, chaos broke out in the city."

At this point, with a righteous look on his face, he knelt down and cried: "There are all human and material evidences about Luo Thief, and the amount is large enough to warrant the death penalty. Although I know that the factory guards are tigers and wolves, I have already put my life and death at risk. Risking his own life to report this to the emperor, I hope your majesty will give justice to the people and officials of the capital and calm the public's anger!"

Upon hearing this, many people immediately came out and agreed. Each and every one of them showed the tendency to ask for orders for the people and not hesitate to go to the sword or the frying pan.

Hu Guang sneered when he heard this. He had known that they would make a fuss about this matter. Now he is launching an attack in full view of the public, and he is also the leader of the impeachment of the factory guard. The first is to see how he handles it, and the second is to explain from the side that this policy is good, but the implementation below is not effective, which will disturb the people and cause public resentment. The implication is, it’s better not to give it up!

If the original Emperor Chongzhen had been treated like this, he might have doubted his life, no, he would have doubted the integrity of the factory guards and ruined himself.

But the one sitting on the throne now is no longer the young emperor with little experience. Hu Guang looked at them with a sneer, did not speak, and just waved his hand.

The eunuch standing next to him turned his head and shouted loudly: "The eunuch Bingbi and the governor of the East Factory, Cao Huachun, come to see you!"

Immediately, there was movement outside, and it was obvious that they had been waiting for a long time.

The civil and military officials turned around and saw Cao Huachun, the admiral of Dongchang, in front, followed by several officers behind, escorting a disheveled man over.

A few sharp-eyed people immediately recognized the disheveled man and immediately said in surprise: "Luo Yangxing?"

Sure enough, when they came closer, most people had already recognized the man as Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards. I saw his miserable face and his soulless appearance.

Sun Li, the censor of Shandong Province, was dumbfounded. Before he came to the court, he had confirmed that Luo Yangxing seemed to be fine, so he started the impeachment with confidence. Unexpectedly, Luo Yangxing was quietly arrested, and he looked like he had confessed. Then isn't this move equivalent to hitting cotton wool?

Without squinting his eyes, Cao Huachun approached the emperor and bowed and said, "I was ordered to arrest Luo Yangxing. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. Luo Yangxing also confessed on the spot!"

Yes, it seems that at least the impeachment of Cao Huachun is not tenable.

Hu Guang stared coldly at Luo Yangxing, who was kneeling there with his head downcast. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Do you know your guilt?"

Luo Yangxing originally thought that he had a good relationship with the civil servants. After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, just like all the Donglin Party members were recalled, his father Luo Sigong was squeezed out by Wei Zhongxian, so he replaced Tian Ergeng who was executed after Wei Zhong's fall. Become the commander of the Jin Yiwei.

But I really didn't expect that I would be tricked by those civil servants, and even to the point where I couldn't even cry out for injustice - there were both human and material evidence. He knew that after being abandoned by the so-called allies, those civil servants, he could not escape the blame.

"Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty, and I am wrong!" Luo Yangxing admitted his mistake with a trace of luck, crying and crying, "I beg your Majesty to give me another chance, I will definitely not do it again. I..."

"Shut up!" Hu Guang shouted coldly, "I trust you so much in vain, but you still know and break the law so unscrupulously in an extraordinary period, ruining the reputation of Jinyiwei, attracting the resentment of all officials, and passing the decree..."

Thanks to Mingshi Shanju Yunhanzhi for the reward. Unfortunately, I have to work overtime until 22 o'clock today to go home. Please give me some recommendation votes to comfort me -
