What did you do on July 15, this Wenjun election is too clear.

On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, several of them conspired to corrupt the emperor.

Although, their conversation did not reveal the slightest hint, and none of the words directly pointed out the meaning.

However, this kind of thing, the emperor does not need to tell them too specific evidence.

Just an ordinary gathering of seven or eight of them was enough to arouse the emperor's suspicion.

What's more, the eight of them quietly went to a secret house party, is it to get together to drink and chat with women?

You don't need to know the specific content of their conversation. Anyway, it's right to make a conspiracy when encountering such a thing, and you won't wrong people.

There is no need to quietly do things that can really see the light.

"My lord, I misunderstood. I just chatted with the supervisor Shi Huawu about the current prosperity of Dahua. Then I said that such a prosperous world is the credit of Your Majesty, and I should propose to draft for His Majesty and do the filial piety of a courtier. "

Wen Junxuan had already heard that Shi Huawu was screaming next door, so he directly recruited Shi Huawu.

As for the others, he was very embarrassed.

Especially Gu Yanwu and Qian Qianyi, these two bosses must never confess, otherwise the Donglin Party will not be able to tolerate him in the future.

Compared with the emperor, they have a more powerful way to deal with him, including his family and clan.

"What else? It can't be just the two of you."

Qin Fen asked.

"Sir, just let me go, we really just chat casually, and there is no difference."

Wen Junxuan begged.

Qin Fen ignored his plea and continued to argue: "Since it's just a casual chat, then you don't have to worry about it, I've explained the other ministers, and I'll be fine if I don't explain the matter clearly.

Today, His Majesty is not a tyrant and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Moreover, in fact, you are only confessing for yourself, and I am only giving you a chance when I ask you. You don't confess, and I know who they are. "

Qin Fen coaxed and deceived, but in fact he didn't know who was in the secret meeting.

Although the intelligence function of their intelligence bureau is very powerful, it is impossible to really monitor every move of the officials.

If you want to achieve that level, God knows how much money you need to spend to buy off the servants, maids and concubines of the minister's family. How can you not have a lot of money.

If it was possible to supervise every move of hundreds of officials, no officials would dare to mess around.

In fact, unless there is a designated task, the Intelligence Bureau will spend a lot of energy and money to collect information.

In normal times, it is also necessary to consider the cost, and then collect limited intelligence.

Wen Junxuan and others gathered at the old house in the city on July 15. The news came from the BMW driver in Wen Junxuan's house.

He was only responsible for sending Wen Junxuan to the meeting place, and he was not qualified to enter, so he did not know who participated in the meeting.

However, Wen Junxuan doesn't know about this kind of thing, he's not sure.

What if what Qin Fen said was true?

In short, at this time, Wen Jun is really in a dilemma.

In the end, he could only bet that Qin Fen was cheating himself.

He can only pray now, praying that the big guys outside will save him.

"Don't tell me, use punishment."

Qin Fen didn't have a very good way. Using torture was the most basic operation.

On this day, not only Wen Junxuan and Shi Huawu were tortured, but the screams in the prison never stopped.

Outside, Donglin party members naturally did not sit idly by.

Qian Qianyi and other bigwigs are inconvenient to end, but some low-level officials can speak.

Although, those who stand up at this time know that this move is very risky, but it is not so easy to want to be promoted without taking some risks.

There are only so many official positions in the world, and every three years, a large number of talents will come in, and then they will stare at those positions.

They are reluctant to take risks, and some people are willing to take the risk.

If you want to be alone, you are often eliminated first.

In officialdom, people can't help themselves.

Fortunately, their officials have an advantage that even if they say the wrong thing, as long as they don't do anything else, the emperor can't punish or kill them.

Otherwise, the emperor will be criticized for blocking his speech, which is a very bad evaluation, and no emperor likes it.

It would be even better if the emperor demoted them from their positions.

No official position, but they can also become heroes of their party and gain huge political popularity.

Then they can go on study tours in various places, contact the interests of the party collectively, promote their political ideas, continue to build prestige, and gain support.

What those interest groups like most is this kind of spokesperson who dares to fight against the emperor.

With a certain level of prestige, and with a little chance, they can soar to the sky, and it is possible to enter the cabinet directly.

The previous Zhou Yanru, Qian Qianyi and others were like this.

Haven't been demoted before, dare not fight against the emperor, and be embarrassed to be a leader?

Several censors directly criticized Wu Changqing, saying that when he set up the Intelligence Bureau, he was actually doing factory guards.

The harm of the factory guards has long been proven by history. A large part of the reason for the decline of the Ming Dynasty is that the power of the factory guards is too great, which has harmed the normal order of the officialdom.

They asked Wu Changqing to take

The intelligence bureau was ordered to ask Wu Changqing to release him, and then the three divisions of the Inspectorate, the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple would conduct a joint trial.

If you are guilty, you will be punished, and if you are not guilty, Shi Huawu and others will be given justice.

Yanguan is good at this, and anyone can spray it.

Of course, they can spray, and Wu Changqing can ignore it.

In this way, it seems that the speech official has no effect.

But in fact, the role of the language official is very big.

The emperor and the officials are a cooperative relationship, and cooperation naturally requires a consensus.

The consensus and tacit understanding of the two sides is that the emperor cannot ignore the advice of the official and must deal with it.

Although they could not force the emperor to deal with it, if the emperor broke the consensus between the two sides many times, the ministers would be separated from the emperor and no longer work together to maintain this cooperative relationship.

Just like after Chongzhen and Baiguan separated from virtue, Baiguan did not have the means to force the emperor, but they could use uncooperative means to disgust Chongzhen, and finally bury the world directly.

Turn a win-win situation into a lose-lose situation.

Therefore, generally smart emperors will find ways to maintain this consensus.

As long as the ministers see that the emperor is willing to maintain this consensus and want to continue to cooperate, they will assist them attentively. Let's keep this plate together, and then exploit the people at the bottom together.

Therefore, on the surface, it seems that Wu Changqing will be fine if he ignores those officials. Anyway, they can only use their lips to spray people.

However, ignoring it is extremely harmful to the relationship between the ruler and the minister.

This kind of hazard will not burst out in one go, with immediate consequences.

But after accumulating, by the time you realize the problem, it is basically too late.
