He couldn't figure out what the problem was. It was because he never went to court at all, and he didn't know that Ren Zanhua had violently impeached Wen Tiren a few days ago, nor did he know that the emperor had told Mr. Wen that
Pass him.
Wen Tiren didn't think clearly. He didn't quite believe that Wei Dezao dared to collude with the censor to harm him and the censor agreed. However, he did send something to Ren Zanhua, who was also in a "good mood"
Accepted. It was also hard for him to believe that there was nothing wrong with it.
After Ren Zanhua received the things, he went to see the saint in person. In fact, to be honest, his opinion of Wen Tiren was no longer the same. He had also heard a little bit about Wei Dezao and Wen Tiren collaborating, but there was no evidence. This time it was not easy.
After finding the evidence of Wen Tiren, he did not expect that the impeachment in the court was like a stone sinking. His Majesty did not give any response at all. He could not help but feel a little dissatisfied with the emperor.
At this time, the emperor gave him something that was delivered to someone else's house by mistake, and it happened to be the Wei House.
He didn't believe it was just a coincidence. Some hope aroused in his heart prompted him to go and talk to the emperor.
There are a lot of things to deal with these days, and we have to keep an eye on the two old guys Wei Dezao and Wen Tiren. The people from Jinyiwei are already closely monitoring the movements of the two families, and they will report to Lin Chong at the slightest sign of trouble, but Lin Chong soon became concerned about this kind of thing.
Getting tired of repeating it day after day.
Although Wen Tiren already had suspicions in his heart, with his cautious temperament, he would not take action so quickly. If he wanted the two of them to really turn against each other, he would need other evidence.
So Lin Chong stayed in the study for several days. He read through many things that happened during the Chongzhen period. He also asked Wang Chengen to transfer many files from the Ministry of Justice.
Lin Chong has no other advantages, but he has a good memory. Although he cannot say that he has a photographic memory, he can see faster than others and remember more firmly. He tried to find some clues in it. His hard work paid off! He really did.
Found something.
So, when Yushi Ren came to the imperial study, he saw that His Majesty the Emperor was carefully sketching on a certain file. Even when he heard him coming in, he didn't even raise his head.
Ren Yushi stood waiting patiently. He felt that the emperor was a little different from before. In the past, his majesty would never listen to them seriously, let alone care about their feelings. I don't know why, he
He seems to have a serious hatred for all civil servants.
The censors have never participated in partisan disputes. Most of them maintain a neutral attitude, supervising and admonishing all ministers, including the emperor.
But regarding this emperor, the Yushitai also seemed to be somewhat powerless. No matter what they said, His Majesty the Emperor adopted a specious wait-and-see attitude, and often attributed their remarks to cliques for personal gain and made great sarcasm.
Many censors were innocently punished for this, and even lost their jobs and went to jail. The ministers who were exposed by them also retaliated against them, and the censors were suppressed and excluded everywhere.
The attitude of the current censors is also not as good as before. They turn a blind eye to many things and remain silent just to make ends meet. There are even some censors who have become pawns of the faction in order to live a stable life.
Ren Zanhua is an old-school censor. He feels sad, but he is also helpless about the situation in front of him. He can persevere and not be afraid of anything, but he cannot ask others to give up everything, or even abandon their wives, children, and children to advise and assist a person who has nothing at all.
They refused to believe their emperor.
Censors are also human beings. They are exposed to everyone because of their special status. Without the emperor's blessing, they have nothing. Without money and power, how can they live in this world of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea with only their pride.
Those who stood with Ren Zanhua in the Jinluan Hall and made impassioned speeches are now old, have returned to their hometowns, or have faded into obscurity.
Ren Zanhua didn't know how long he could last with his old bones, and it wasn't like no one had advised him why he was still so rigid and stubborn. He himself also asked himself, wouldn't it be good to just go with the flow like this? Or maybe he should just retire and return home.
Enjoy your old age. He knows that every morning there are many people complaining about why this old guy is not dead yet. Every sunrise he sees may be the last one.
He is no longer young, and all those great talents and high-minded talk are in the past. What are he still insisting on?
Ren Zanhua liked the sunrise, which symbolized life and hope. For countless dawns, he stood alone on the tower, watching the sun break through the night, shining brightly, and he watched the people coming and going below the city.
, bustling with people. Maybe this is the motivation that supports him to keep going. At most, it will take him a few years to fight with this old bones.
Ren Zanhua fell into memories and completely forgot where he was now. When he came back to his senses, he found that His Majesty the Emperor was looking at him with a smile on his head.
Ren Yushi broke into a cold sweat, this was not disrespectful, and he hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
Lin Chong waved his hand and ordered someone to bring a chair up. He motioned for Ren Yushi to sit down and talk. Ren Yushi felt a little frightened, but sat down anyway.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chong did not mean to blame him after he spoke: "Ren Yushi, you are a veteran of this court. I want to hear your opinion on some matters."
Ren Zanhua pondered for a moment: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, I must know everything and tell you everything."
Lin Chong was very satisfied: "It's not as serious as you think. I have read your report and it is very detailed. Many of the evidences in it have also been proved by Jin Yiwei."
"Then why, Your Majesty?"
"You want to ask me why I am indifferent?"
"I don't mean to blame His Majesty, I just..."
"These are all the evidence you have worked so hard to collect. I don't know how hard you have worked so hard, and I agree with your statement. But there are some things that can have better solutions. Are you willing to listen to me, Aiqing?"
Ren Zanhua was shocked: "I would like to hear the details."
"You and I both know that Wen Tiren and Wei Dezao must have some shady activities in private. Now that Wen Tiren is to be dealt with, Wei Dezao will definitely be eager to distance himself from him. We don't have any definite evidence in the first place. If we just alert the snake like this,
, it will definitely be more difficult to catch his fox tail next time. Do you think so?"
Ren Zanhua was stunned. He really had not thought about this situation. All he had been thinking about was how to bring Wen Tiren, an old thief, to justice, but he never thought that Wei Dezao would distance himself from the relationship. He also thought that His Majesty sent the wrong thing.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not that simple, and the fire of hope in his heart grew bigger and bigger. His curiosity was aroused, and he waited for the emperor to continue talking.
Lin Chong raised his fingers at him, but Ren Zanhua didn't know why and walked closer.
