Wang Chengen was not intimidated by Chongzhen's anger. Instead, he raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to do it, but it's just that it can't be done. If it is done, it may damage the reputation and be regarded by other dynasties."
No."
"How do you say this?" Chongzhen's anger froze.
"The emperor oversees the internal affairs and oversees the army..."
Just as Wang Chengen was about to say something, Zhao Quan, the eunuch on duty who was waiting outside, came in and said, "Your Majesty, how do you ask for an audience with the great scholar?"
"What is he here for?... Tell him to come in."[
Chongzhen snorted slightly and glanced coldly at Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen hurriedly retreated outside the palace, but did not dare to leave. He knew that after the emperor saw He Ru Chong, he would definitely call him again.
…
When He Ruchong entered the Nuan Pavilion, he saw Wang Chengen coming towards him. A smile suddenly appeared on his face and he nodded to Wang Chengen. After he passed by Wang Chengen, his smile instantly changed into a cold face.
After seeing Chongzhen, He Ruchong knelt down and saluted. Chongzhen sat behind the imperial desk and asked him: "Is there something important for the cabinet?"
He Ruchong was a bachelor, and he was on duty in the cabinet today, so Chongzhen thought that he had received some urgent matter to report. Unexpectedly, He Ruchong said: "Your Majesty, I am here to participate in the impeachment."
From King Chengen of Quanquan."
"Participate in the impeachment of Wang Cheng'en?" Chongzhen was surprised. The word "Quan Crotch" was so familiar. Wasn't that what Wei Zhongxian was called back then.
Since he ascended the throne, Chongzhen has been very wary of the eunuchs around him. Even the most trusted eunuchs are always wary. Xu Yingyuan and Wang Chengen, the other eunuchs who were hiding in the house at that time, have the same weight in Chongzhen's mind, but they were also said to be driven away to Fengyang.
He drove him to Fengyang because the young emperor did not want to make the same mistake as his elder brother and allowed his slaves to become powerful.
Now, he suddenly heard that Wang Chengen, whom he had always trusted and trusted, had become the "powerful crotch". Chongzhen was obviously shocked. He couldn't sit still, stood up and asked He Ruchong: "What did Wang Chengen commit?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, this Wang Cheng'en is an old man who has been hiding in the Emperor's house. Since the eunuch of Wei Dynasty, he has formed a clique for personal gain. He is loyal to the Emperor on the surface, but secretly deceives the Emperor and interferes in politics. Outside the court, they dare not speak out in anger. In private, everyone calls him... They all call him...
"
He Ruchong deliberately acted like he didn't dare to say anything. Sure enough, when Chongzhen saw it, he was even more surprised and said angrily: "What did you call him? Tell him!"
"Yes, yes." He Ru Chong didn't dare to hesitate anymore and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the outer court privately calls Wang Chengen the 'Second Emperor'!"
"Second Emperor?!" Chongzhen was stunned, and then he punched the table and roared: "This bitch slave deserves to die! He deserves to die!...Those who call him Second Emperor also deserve to die!"
He deserves death! His crime deserves death..."

Angry voices floated in the Nuan Pavilion and could be heard clearly outside the palace. Wang Chengen and Zhao Quanquan, who had withdrawn, looked at each other. They didn't know which of the emperor was scolding him or which of his ministers had done something treasonous and unethical. He called them two.
The emperor is here.
…
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down..."
The emperor's rage made He Ru Chong secretly happy, but with a look of sorrow and anger on his face, he said: "The ministers succumbed to Wang Cheng'en's lustful power and failed to adhere to the principles. It is really an excusable crime! I heard that officials from various places, in the four seasons,
Eight sections had to be offered to Wang Chengen, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Whenever he went to Beijing to report on his work, the first person he had to visit was Wang Chengen.
I also heard that Wang Chengen secretly taught them what to say and what not to say when discussing politics in front of the emperor, and what words should be said but not said..."[
Speaking of this, He Ruchong raised his head and looked at Chongzhen with an angry face, and said: "For example, if a natural disaster occurs in a certain place, then when the emperor discusses politics, he only talks about natural disasters but not disasters, and attributes the disasters to the sky.
This is a disaster. In this way, the emperor thought he didn't say it, but he did, but the emperor thought he really said it, but he didn't say what he really should have said."
"Old treacherous and slippery!"
Chongzhen was already furious after hearing this. He had no doubt whether these things were true or false. He angrily asked He Ru Chong: "Since Wang Cheng'en has done such nonsense, why didn't you impeach him earlier?"
He Ruchong made a look of grievance: "Your Majesty has seen that Wang Chengen is indeed a cunning and cunning person, so the ministers are not only afraid of him, they even have some admiration for him. To be honest with the Emperor, even the ministers are very afraid of him."
Chongzhen said angrily: "I will make the decision for you, what's so scary?!"
He Ruchong said: "It is the Emperor who I am afraid of."
"Afraid of me?" Chongzhen stayed there.
He Ruchong said: "Wang Cheng'en first served the late Empress Dowager, and later served the emperor for thirty years. The emperor regarded him as his right-hand man and favored him. The deep friendship between master and servant, who among the ministers could compare with it? If it were the emperor
If you don't trust me, I will get angry."
After hearing this, Chongzhen was speechless for a moment and could only say: "Hateful, hateful!" Then he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and shouted: "Tell Wang Chengen to get out!"
…………
He Ruchong came out of the palace and saw Wang Chengen and Zhao Quan standing there looking at him. Both of them looked confused and didn't know what happened just now.
He Ruchong sneered, thinking that Wang Chengen, your death is not far away, walked up to Wang Chengen, bowed to him politely, and then declared: "Wang Chengen, the emperor has a decree, telling you to get out."
Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, knowing that something was not good, and nodded: "Old slave, take the order." After saying this, he raised his legs to go in, but He Ru Chong stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with some pride: "Didn't you hear clearly? The emperor asked you to get out."
"
"Old slave, I heard you clearly." Wang Chengen pointed to the high jade steps and asked He Ruchong: "Lord He, look at this, how can I get in with such high jade steps? I can only get out of the palace.
"
He Ruchong caught the hint and said angrily: "You...are talking about me..."
"How dare you." Wang Chengen said coldly, "What the emperor really means is to let the old slave crawl in."
"Huh!" He Ruchong said with a livid face and stopped talking, waiting to see Wang Chengen make a fool of himself.
"Father, what is this?"
Zhao Quan looked at Wang Chengen in surprise, thinking that the prince would definitely not climb in. Little did he know that Wang Chengen was really like an old dog, using all four legs to climb up the jade steps, and then climbed into the palace step by step.
After crawling all the way to Chongzhen, Wang Chengen kowtowed to the ground and said: "This slave deserves to die."
Chongzhen said angrily: "Good climb! Good climb! Why don't you climb on my head?!"
Hearing this, Wang Chengen hurriedly kowtowed: "I will never dare to deceive you!" [
"Is there anything in the world that you don't dare to do? You are already the second emperor, how can you still put me in your eyes? If you don't bully me, who else would dare to bully me!" (first release:)
