Wei Zhongxian left, and he left with excitement.
In Wei Zhongxian's view, this was his opportunity.
Consolidate power and avenge those who impeached me. From today on, who would dare to look down on me? Ever since the day I castrated myself and entered the palace, I have been waiting for this day.
Power and wealth are the only two things left in my life.
Now, at this very moment, these two things are within my reach, and I will naturally not let go of this opportunity!
Looking at Wei Zhongxian's back, Zhu Youxiao's face was as gloomy as water.
He knew that his actions this time would inevitably lead to resistance and even disgust from countless people.
In a word, he was going further and further down the path of becoming a tyrant. But they didn't know what he was thinking.
As a person from later generations, Zhu Youxiao knew very well that the Donglin Party must be eradicated.
Although there may be loyal and capable people in the Donglin Party, when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.
Glancing at Chen Hong, who was standing not far away, Zhu Youxiao ordered, "Tell everyone that I will be in seclusion with Taoist Han Li of Qingyun Sect for 49 days to recuperate."
When Chen Hong heard this, he knew in his heart that the emperor was going to hide again!
However, he also thought that the emperor could not take action personally, and it must be Wei Zhongxian who took action.
Chen Hong quickly bowed and said, "Is there anything I need to prepare?"
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Let's prepare a quiet room!"
In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to hide, and he didn't have to hide. It's just that Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to care about these people, and he didn't have the mind to care about these things at all.
If I had the time, I might as well go to the Hundred Workers' Workshop. I haven't been there since it was built.
There lies the future of the Ming Dynasty.
The army trained by Xu Guangqi and Qi Jin is the future of the Ming Dynasty.
The rest is irrelevant and you don’t have to worry about it.
The news soon spread, and His Majesty ordered Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian to dismiss their posts pending trial.
For a time, the capital was in a state of panic, and countless officials were in a state of panic, especially those from the Donglin Party.
Once they are convicted of forming a clique for personal gain and being a traitor, all of them will be doomed.
Everyone is like an ant on a hot pan, trying to find a way to protect themselves.
However, there was not much they could do except impeach Wei Zhongxian and launch a public opinion offensive.
That's all.
At the same time, the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard acted very quickly.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard has already sent people to arrest Fang Congzhe.
Once Fang Congzhe speaks, the Donglin Party will be dead.
Threatening the death of the late emperor and secretly releasing Fang Congzhe is a serious crime. Once involved, no one can escape.
Who wouldn't be afraid in such a situation?
The East Factory has already started investigating the case. Wei Zhongxian is personally presiding over the trial, so naturally he wants to conduct a grand and special trial.
The first person brought up was Yao Zongwen.
Wei Zhongxian hated Yao Zongwen so much that he wanted to beat him to death in the East Factory prison.
But it doesn’t work!
Wei Zhongxian needed Yao Zongwen's confession.
Yao Zongwen's retraction of his confession at the Dali Temple nearly got him into trouble. If he had messed up the job, he would have been finished.
Now that Yao Zongwen was in his hands, Wei Zhongxian naturally wouldn't let him go easily. Although he couldn't kill him, he could still make him suffer.
Sitting in the prison cell of the East Factory, Wei Zhongxian took a sip of tea from the teacup and looked at Yao Zongwen with amusement.
"Yao Zongwen, you never thought you'd end up in our hands! Today, I'll show you that we're not easy to bully." Wei Zhongxian turned to Sun Yunhe, who was waiting nearby. He ordered, "Sun Yunhe, torture! Our Master Yao confessed his guilt in the East Factory, then retracted his confession in the Dali Temple. We don't even know when he's telling the truth."
"If you still can't get the truth out of me this time, you won't have to hold this position anymore. My family can send you to Liaodong."
After hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Sun Yunhe also became angry.
He now hated Yao Zongwen immensely. If Yao Zongwen hadn't turned against him, he wouldn't have ended up like this. He was Eunuch Wei's trusted confidant.
Now, just because of you, Yao Zongwen, Eunuch Wei has begun to question his ability. How can this be? This is something Sun Yunhe absolutely cannot accept.
Going to Liaodong, what kind of crappy place is that? Whoever wants to go can go, but I definitely won't go!
Thinking of this, Sun Yunhe bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely not let you down."
Wei Zhongxian nodded without comment and waved his hand gently, indicating that Sun Yunhe could begin.
"Someone, get a bucket of salt water." Sun Yunhe said as he reached out and picked up the whip not far away, obviously wanting to dip Yao Zongwen in salt water with the whip.
Pulling the whip in his hand, Sun Yunhe walked up to Yao Zongwen with a fake smile and said with a sneer, "Master Yao, we are old friends. Why are you doing this? Don't blame me, Sun. Let's have some appetizers first, and the main course is coming later. I haven't swung the whip in years, so this time is a good opportunity for you to try it out. It can be considered that our acquaintance is not in vain."
At this time, Yao Zongwen was tied to a pillar with a very ugly look on his face.
Ever since entering the East Factory, Yao Zongwen knew that this time he was in great danger!
Looking up at Sun Yunhe, Yao Zongwen made up his mind. This time, he would not speak a word.
