Chapter 233 Completely Shoot Zhou Yanru to Death

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect that we could arrive in the capital on the same day!"

Mao Wenlong greeted him with a smile on his face.

Zhao Wendao: "Do you know what you are doing in Beijing this time?"

Zhao Wen's coming to the capital to report on his work is one aspect, but more importantly, it is to deal with some things. The land of Gyeonggi was ravaged by Jianshou at that time, and the people were sent to Xuanzhen by Zhao Wen. Now many of the land of Gyeonggi are landless.

I didn't have time before, so this time I can get it into my own hands.

Not only this aspect, but Zhao Wen also has a more important purpose in coming to the capital this time, which is to completely get Zhou Yanru down.

Now that the rumors in the capital are about the same, it is the best time to get Zhou Yanru down completely.

Not only Zhou Yanru, but also a group of Donglin party members, and then let Cao Huachun get his people up.

And Cao Huachun and Zhao Wen wore a pair of trousers. With these officials, Zhao Wen can get twice the result with half the effort.

Originally, Zhao Wen wanted to get a group of officials who would obey him in the court, but this would be a waste of time, so it is better to hand them over to Cao Huachun.

Although the bullshit that Zhou Yanru said did not pose a great threat to Zhao Wen, Zhao Wen was very upset if he was allowed to yell like this.

If it wasn't for these aspects, Zhao Wen wouldn't even want to come to the capital to participate in this debriefing.

"I don't know either. It should be just a normal job report. It's not like it didn't happen in previous years, but this year it can be earlier. In previous years, the job report was put after the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect it to be before the Chinese New Year this year. "

Mao Wenlong let out a long breath and said slowly.

"This is the first time I've come to Beijing to report on my work, and I don't know much about it." Zhao Wen looked at Mao Wenlong and said slowly.

Mao Wenlong patted the snowflakes on his body, and said with a smile on his face: "It's just that His Majesty summoned us, plus policy questions, it's not a big deal.

Hurry up and go in, the office of the Ministry of War will be released later, if you don't hurry up, it will have to be delayed until tomorrow. "

"If that's the case, then I'll go first." Zhao Wen cupped his hands at Mao Wenlong, and then walked towards the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

The Yamen of the Ministry of War is not big, and the gate even looks a bit dilapidated.

Almost all the yamen in the Ming Dynasty were like this, and they always had the habit of not repairing the yamen.

In fact, this tradition was passed down from the Song Dynasty, and there is still a saying among the people that "officials do not repair government offices, and customers do not repair shops".

In fact, the main reason for not repairing the yamen is that these officials only stay in one place for two or three years, and then they will be transferred away. No matter how well they repair it, it has nothing to do with me.
The other is that the shabby look of the yamen can show the incorruptibility of officials.

Unfortunately, in the Ming Dynasty, no matter how dilapidated the yamen were, officials would not become clean because of this.

Zhao Wen looked at the Yamen and walked in.

As soon as he walked in, he met a scribe.

When the scribe saw Zhao Wen, he rushed over to greet him, "Name, place of origin, position!"

The scribe walked up to Zhao Wen and asked slowly.

Zhao Wen looked at the scribe, and replied: "Zhao Wen, a person from Longmenbao in Xuanzhen Town, the chief soldier of Xuanzhen Town!"

"follow me!"

After hearing this, the scribe took Zhao Wen to a house.

"We want to verify your identity, and please take out your big printed documents and other things."

There was a desk in the house, and a middle-aged man in a blue official uniform held a writing brush, looked at Zhao Wen and said slowly.

Zhao Wen nodded, and then took out the big seal and documents that had been prepared from his waist.

After a few breaths, the official returned the big seal and other things to Zhao Wen.

"You can go now, be careful these few days, His Majesty may summon you at any time!"

The official said slowly to Zhao Wen.

In fact, before the Tumubao Incident, these matters were all handled by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

It's just that after the Tumu Fort, the military power of the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies was plundered by the Ministry of War.

Zhao Wen walked out of the Yamen with the big seal and other documents.

Mao Wenlong led a bodyguard and did not leave, waiting for Zhao Wen outside under a big tree.

"Brother Mao, have a drink?"

Zhao Wen handed the big seal to Zhao Daniu, and then looked at Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong laughed, and said, "Haha, a drink in this cold weather is just right to warm you up. I know a restaurant with good food and wine."

"In that case, let's go quickly." Zhao Wen took the reins of the horse from Zhao Daniu, and said to Mao Wenlong with a smile on his face.

"Let's go, it's time for dinner. If we don't hurry up, there may be no room." Mao Wenlong said excitedly, leading the horse.

When Zhao Wen and Mao Wenlong arrived at the restaurant, the restaurant was already full.

"Yingxianlou, that's a good name." Zhao Wen couldn't help praising the restaurant's signboard.

"Not only is the name nice, but the drinks and roast duck here are unique in the capital. Come on, let's go in quickly."

Mao Wenlong threw the reins of the horse to the guard behind him, then patted Zhao Wen on the shoulder, and headed inside.

"My lord, there is only one private room on the second floor left, do you see?"

Before going in, a servant rushed out with a smile on his face.

Mao Wenlong said: "The private room is the private room, I am not short of money."

"Come on, please come upstairs, gentlemen." The boy responded, and then hurriedly called a few men out, and brought Zhao Wen and Mao Wenlong's war horses to the stables in the backyard.

"It's really lively here!" Zhao Wen couldn't help sighing, looking at the diners who were discussing and impassioned in the hall.

"What's this for?" Zhao Wen looked at a middle-aged scholar in his forties who was holding a piece of paper in the middle of the hall, and was chanting impassionedly.

Zhao Wen narrowed his eyes, stopped not far away, and listened carefully.

"What did I think it was? It turned out that I was reading the Ming Pao, and I was still yelling at Zhou Yanru." Hearing the sound of reading the newspaper, Zhao Wen showed a strange smile on his face.

Since Zhao Wen instigated the scholars in the capital, many scholars began to verbally criticize Zhou Yanru.

Among them, the ten people left behind by Zhao Wen are the most powerful.

Among these ten people, the scholar named Sun Mingyuan scolded him the most.

In today's capital city, there is also a branch office of Da Ming Pao.

The manager of this newspaper is this Sun Mingyuan, and every issue of Da Ming Daily has articles published by him.

Whenever the Da Ming Pao newspaper is published, it will be snapped up by scholars in the capital.

Those scholars who didn't grab the places would gather in various inns and restaurants, listening to the scholars who grabbed the seats read aloud.

At the same time, Sun Mingyuan's reputation continued to soar in the capital.

Of course, the newspaper office was too powerful, and Zhao Wen couldn't just hand it over to Sun Mingyuan, so Zhao Wen asked Wang Qi to get some hidden guards in to act as printing workers inside and keep an eye on them all the time.

Moreover, every time a branch newspaper in Beijing publishes an issue, it must first send the manuscript to Xuanzhen for review by Liu Wenzhong and others. Only those that pass the review will be sent out.

Not only the newspaper office, when Zhao Wen incited the scholars in the capital, some of the scholars who were not selected by Zhao Wen united and held several parades in the capital.

If it wasn't for Chongzhen who was really annoyed by these scholars, he would have the Wucheng soldiers and horses arrest a group, and at the same time let the Ministry of Rites expel a group of scholars.Otherwise, it would be impossible for the capital to calm down now.

For this reason, Zhou Yanru has already taken a long leave of absence.

The current Zhou Yanru has no face to go to court at all.

Although Zhou Yanru didn't show his face, he kept making small moves in private.

He and a group of Donglin party members gathered together and kept holding literary meetings in the capital, hoping to suppress the momentum of the Daming Daily, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't.

"This scholar named Sun Mingyuan spoke very well, really very well, and directly expressed the righteousness in the hearts of us scholars.

The cynicism harmed the country, this week Yanru is the Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty, His Majesty should kill him immediately, and make the universe brighter. "

"That's right, that's how it should be. A villain like Zhou Yanru should be punished by the Nine Clans!"

After the middle-aged scholar finished reading, the whole hall became noisy.

Zhao Wen looked at the noisy crowd in the hall, nodded, and then followed Mao Wenlong to the private room on the second floor.

Two days later, Chongzhen's summons came.

Zhao Wen wore an official uniform and walked into the palace with Mao Wenlong.

This job report is not a big deal, it's just a general job report, ask some unnutritious words, and say a few words of encouragement that are as light as water.

Zhao Wen stood in the hall and looked at Chongzhen on the dragon chair, who was drowsy, and kept nodding his head.

A few quarters of an hour later, Chongzhen looked at the civil and military officials below, waved his hand, and said, "Retire!"

At this moment, Zhao Wen suddenly rubbed his eyes, and stood up, "Your Majesty, I have an instruction!"

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Wen, and asked slowly: "What is Zhao Aiqing going to play?"

Zhao Wen's gaze moved among these civil servants. After a while, he pointed at Zhou Yanru and said angrily: "I want to impeach the old cabinet minister Zhou Yanru."

Zhou Yanru has been on vacation long enough, so he is here today.

"You want to impeach Zhou Yanru?" Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Wen suspiciously.

It was the first time in the Ming Dynasty that a military general impeached a cabinet elder.

In the past, only civil officials impeached military generals. How could military generals dare to impeach civil officials?
Now it is not only military generals impeaching civil servants, but also a cabinet elder.

This is too explosive.

For a moment, all the general soldiers in the hall looked at Zhao Wen excitedly.

If Zhao Wen can impeach the old cabinet minister Zhou Yanru this time, then they, who are also generals, will have honor in their faces.

Zhou Yanru was stunned for a moment, he never thought that a general would dare to impeach him, so he became angry immediately, "You impeach me? Why do you impeach me?

What qualifications do you have to impeach me?You are just a general, where do you get the qualifications? "Zhou Yanru was furious, pointed at Zhao Wen angrily, and sternly cursed.

Zhao Wen looked at the extremely angry Zhou Yanru, and sneered, "What qualifications do I have? What qualifications do you think I have? I won the defense of the capital. What qualifications do you think I have?
Do you have the nerve to ask me?I would like to ask you, what qualifications do you have to impeach me?I remember that I have no hatred with you, right?Why did you impeach me several times? "

"It's a rule set by the great grandfather. What's wrong with impeaching you?" Zhou Yanru looked at Zhao Wen and said angrily.

Zhao Wen turned his head, looked directly at Chongzhen, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Zhou Yanru for disrespecting the court's laws and treating the sea ban as a dead letter. His family is a well-known smuggler in the southeast sea. And his family The cargo ship even ran to the country of Wa, and had an affair with the country of Wa.

I had an order early in the Ming Dynasty to prohibit going to sea, but Zhou Yanru is a cabinet elder, not only did he not abide by it, he even took the lead in going to sea. For a guy like Zhou Yanru, I feel that he should be killed immediately. "

"You are talking nonsense, when did I go to sea? When did my family go to sea? You have no proof, so don't spit blood." Zhou Yanru looked at Zhao Wen and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Damn it, it's really abominable, it's really abominable to use the reason I impeached you to impeach me." Zhou Yanru pointed at Zhao Wen, trembling all over.

Zhao Wen glanced at Zhou Yanru lightly, and said slowly: "You want evidence? Then let me ask you, how did you know that I built an outlet in Phi Island? How did you know that I wanted to intervene in the sea ban?
If you didn't go to sea privately, how did you know that I was going to intervene in the sea ban?And you know that I have an outlet on Phi Island?Now the general of Dongjiang Town is here, you can ask him, did I build an outlet on Phi Island? "

"You, you are messing around!" Zhou Yanru pointed at Zhao Wen and cursed out of breath.

Zhao Wen looked at Zhou Yanru, sneered, and sneered, "Hehe, you're close to fighting me."

When Chongzhen heard this, he also looked at Mao Wenlong, "Mao Aiqing, did Zhao Wen build an outlet on Phi Island?"

Mao Wenlong stood up, saluted Chongzhen, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Wen and Zhao Zongbing didn't build an outlet on my Pi Island, and I don't know Zhao Wen and Zhao Zongbing.

Zhao Wen and Zhao Zongbing are in Xuanzhen, and I am on the sea. There is a distance of thousands of miles between us. How did Zhao Zongbing come to me to build the estuary?What Zhou Ge said was all nonsense. "

When Mao Wenlong said this, he stopped for a moment, looked at Zhou Yanru, and then said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Wen and Zhao Zongbing didn't build an exit to the sea. I just rebuilt the exit on the island to facilitate the delivery of supplies by the imperial court." When the cargo ship came in and out, what Zhou Ge said was just nonsense.

And it doesn't stop there, Mr. Zhou Ge's family will come to my Phi Island almost every month, relying on Mr. Zhou Ge's influence, bullying my soldiers in Dongjiang Town, asking my soldiers in Dongjiang Town to make Korean ginseng for them, if If we refuse, he will block our Phi Island supplies and not give them to us. "

"Your Majesty, the soldiers in Dongjiang Town are miserable. Our soldiers in Dongjiang Town are good at killing the enemy. We really can't do it if we are asked to dig Korean ginseng. Mr. Zhou Ge drives us like cattle and sheep. Your Majesty, I Soldiers in Dongjiang Town suffer."

Mao Wenlong knelt on the ground with a sad face, and cried out sadly.

Seeing Mao Wenlong like this, Zhao Wen couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.

It's a pity that this guy doesn't win a movie king.

Sure enough, when Chongzhen heard this, he became angry instantly. He pointed at Zhou Yanru and shouted sharply: "Zhou Yanru, is that so?"

Zhou Yanru knelt on the ground in fear, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this is just Mao Wenlong's one-sided words. Your Majesty must not believe it."

At this time, Cao Huachun suddenly leaned into Chongzhen's ear and whispered, "My lord, I think what Mao Zongbing said should be right. In recent months, Korean ginseng on the market has become more and more popular. There are too many. It stands to reason that now that Jiannu is entrenched in Liaodong and other places, Korean ginseng cannot be obtained. I really don’t know where these Korean ginseng come from.

Moreover, North Korea sent envoys not long ago, saying that Jiannu attacked North Korea. At the same time, they also said that a group of people went to their bases and drove the local people to dig Korean ginseng. In my opinion, this is probably done by Mr. Zhou Ge. "

Hearing these people's words, Chongzhen's complexion turned ugly instantly. He pointed at Zhou Yanru and shouted angrily: "Okay, you are really my good minister, you are a good elder!"
