Chapter 197 Surging public opinion

The reputation of the Jinyiwei under the Ming Dynasty has always been that of a notorious and notorious existence. From the first commander Mao Xiang, to Jiang Gu, and then to Ji Gang, they have all been nailed to the pillar of shame.

Major cases initiated by Jin Yiwei often involve many people. The most famous ones are the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case, where many heads were chopped off.

As an organization that defended the imperial power, the Jinyiwei in the early Ming Dynasty strictly followed the will of the emperor and was a knife in the hands of the Ming emperor. However, gradually its taste changed and it became a vassal of Dongchang.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to take too much care before. What he wanted in his heart was to be called Jin Yiwei and become a sword for the emperor again, rather than a tool for party struggle.

"clang……"

The sound of a gong echoed outside the Meridian Gate. Luo Yangxing led a group of muscular guards in Jinyi, some carrying wooden signs, some carrying wooden barrels, or some holding earth bags. This was called Liu Zongzhou, Han Jisi and other inspectors.

The military officers all stared at him with unkind eyes.

"According to the emperor's oral order, from today on, the case of Yuan Chonghuan will be handled by the guards in royal robes!"

Luo Yangxing, who was standing with a sword in hand, said in a serious voice with a cold expression: "Today, outside the Meridian Gate, there is a sign on the tree, Yuan Chonghuan's self-reported crime, for the viewing of all officials in the court and the Chinese government. One of Yuan Chonghuan's crimes is secretly communicating with Jianlu.

An act of peacemaking!!!"

"..."

After what Luo Yangxing said was heard by Liu Zongzhou and other officials, their faces changed slightly, and many stood up angrily with emotion.

"Luo Yangxing, you are a treacherous official of our dynasty. How dare you bewitch the emperor and frame our loyal and loyal Ming Dynasty. I will definitely impeach you!"

"That's right, even if Yuan Chonghuan is wrong in every possible way, it is definitely not something that you, the Jin Yiwei, can handle. With our Three Laws Division here, why do you, the Jin Yiwei, need to wait like this..."

Luo Yangxing, who was standing with a sword in hand, looked at the angry ministers in front of him. There was no joy or sorrow in his expression, but he felt all kinds of feelings in his heart.

Luo knew very well in his heart that after this case, his reputation among the government and the public was completely ruined, and there was no other possibility except to rely on the imperial power.

"clang!"

"Dangdang..."

The sound of gongs sounded, causing Luo Yangxing's chaotic thoughts to disappear, replaced by perseverance. Since he was dependent on the imperial power, as long as he could win the emperor's trust, that would be enough.

"The imperial decree is that Yuan Chonghuan secretly communicated with Jianlu!"

According to Luo Yangxing's instructions, the Jinyi guards who were responsible for guarding the wooden plaques stood with swords in their hands, while others were beating gongs and shouting. They were all highly focused.

Liu Zongzhou endured the pain spreading from his knees, stood up tremblingly, and walked slowly towards the wooden sign guarded by the Jinyi Guards. When the civil servants behind him saw this, many of them stood up with disgusting expressions, and followed Liu Zongzhou.

come over.

But the contents of the big-character poster posted on the wooden sign caused the expressions of the civil servants who saw it to change drastically, as if they had been struck by lightning.

"Fake! These are all fake. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, how could Yuan Chonghuan secretly communicate with the Jianlu slave chief? This must be a frame-up by your Jin Yiwei!"

"Your Majesty, how can you listen to the villain's slander? Even if Yuan Chonghuan is wrong in every way, he shouldn't be treated like this..."

Some of the ministers who were admonishing outside the Meridian Gate were supporters of Yuan in the past. Now they saw Zhang Bu's big-character poster directly accusing Yuan Chonghuan of secretly collaborating with Jianlu. This was unacceptable to them and they did not dare to accept it.

, if this matter is true, then aren’t they accomplices?!

"Gentlemen, these nonsense words should be torn up!" Liu Zongzhou, who could not hide his anger, clenched his fists, raised them high and said loudly: "For my Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations, for my Ming Dynasty's country, tear it up for me!

"

"That's right!"

"rip off!"

Some of the ministers gathered here shouted excitedly, and as they spoke, they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to attack the wooden sign guarding the Jinyi Guardhouse.

"Wow..."

There were sounds of swords being drawn, and a famous Jin Yiwei widened his eyes angrily, looking at these ministers warily, and said in a deep voice: "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!!"

Seeing the Yan Fei Dao flashing with cold light in front of them, all the ministers who wanted to attack the Jin Yiwei and remove the wooden sign were stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.

"Your Majesty has decreed that anyone who dares to attack the wooden sign guarded by the Jinyi Guards will be punished as an accomplice of Yuan Chonghuan!" Luo Yangxing stepped forward at this time and roared.

"Dong dong dong..."

Just at this time, a burst of rapid footsteps spread from the Meridian Gate, and Deng Wenming was seen leading groups of Shangzhi personal guards guarding the Meridian Gate, running towards the Jinyi Guards led by Luo Yangxing.

"How dare you make noise in this important place at Meridian Gate!"

Deng Wenming, who came up with a knife, ignored Luo Yangxing and his party, glared at the group of civil servants in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Come here, please separate them for me."

"Here!!"

Under a chorus of roars, groups of soldiers of the Imperial Guard, mainly in the area where the Jinyi Guards were located, stood tall and straight with guns in hand. The civil servants who had been incited by Liu Zongzhou were forced to retreat.

"Marquis Dingyuan, this time I am disturbing your capital governor's office."

Regardless of the civil servants glaring at him, Luo Yangxing smiled, walked towards Deng Wenming, cupped his fists and saluted, saying: "When this case is over, I will definitely be grateful."

"It's my duty, there's nothing to thank you for."

Deng Wenming didn't care and waved his hand and said: "I don't care what the Jin Yiwei wants to do, but anyone who dares to make noise at the Meridian Gate will be expelled!!"

Deng Wenming's words seemed to be addressed to Luo Yangxing, but in fact he was speaking to those civil servants. Normally, they don't have the chance to step on him. If he doesn't step on him now, how long will it take?

The court of the Ming Dynasty has never been monolithic. Even the civil servants are composed of factions. They will only join forces when their core interests are touched.

What happened outside the Meridian Gate spread as quickly as possible. After all, there were quite a few officials who went in and out of the imperial city to handle matters.

"This Deng Wenming is quite good at seizing the opportunity."

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, looked at Han Zanzhou who reported the report, smiled slightly and said: "It seems that the power of this big-character poster will set off ripples between the government and the public.

Interesting, let’s see what happens next.”

"yes."

Han Zanzhou hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to ask your servant to go to the Dongji Office and inform Eunuch Cao about this matter?"

"Just wait a little longer."

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and said: "Now is not the time to rashly reveal your trump card before the public opinion between the government and the public has aroused. It's not good, just wait."

The case of Yuan Chonghuan needs to be handled, but other things also need to be done. For Emperor Chongzhen, taking advantage of the current turmoil in the court, he must carefully identify a group of officials. After the case is over, they will be promoted to various positions to help
