Luo Yangxing brought the emperor out, and indeed suppressed his rebellious subordinates, allowing Hu Jiude to successfully arrest Xu Xianchun and take him to the heavenly prison of Dali Temple.

After the news that Xu Xianchun was thrown into the Heavenly Prison came out, the Donglin Party members rushed to tell the news, and the impeachment offensive became even more fierce. The entire capital was like cooking oil in fire. The voice of "Please kill Xu Xianchun" sang loudly and became rampant.

In the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple, Hu Jiude did not disappoint Xu Xianchun. Before the conclusion of Xu Xianchun's punishment was made, Hu Jiude began to avenge his personal revenge and ordered the prison guard to punish Xu Xianchun.

Xu Xianchun is undoubtedly a tough guy. No matter what punishment the prisoner imposed on him, he sneered and resisted it without saying a word. Not only did the prisoner get furious, but even Hu Jiude felt trembling when he saw it.

Thinking of Xu Xianchun's reputation as the devil king, Hu Jiude couldn't help but regret it. Chen Yangmei just asked him to arrest Xu Xianchun, and did not ask him to torture Xu Xianchun. If Xu Xianchun could escape this time, he would not be able to take it.

At this moment, Hu Jiude prayed extremely devoutly that the Donglin Party members must be more powerful and that they must not let Xu Xianchun survive.

...

December 3rd arrived soon, and it was already the middle of winter. The cold wind and cold rain fell in the capital. In the spacious square outside the Huangji Hall, all civil and military officials were divided into two rows, waiting for the first court meeting in December to begin.

Because it was cold rain, the palace ban net was opened and the ministers were allowed to enter the Forbidden City and hold an umbrella for the ministers.

In front of the companion, the ministers always had to maintain their majesty, so while waiting for the court to begin, the atmosphere on the court was quite solemn, and the ministers did not chat with the familiar ministers in groups like before.

The sky was naturally not bright in the middle of winter. At this time, the entire capital was pitch black, and only the lights in the Huangji Hall were brightly lit. Against the backdrop of the lights, the dark clouds in the sky of the Forbidden City were black, with a very dark atmosphere that was about to be destroyed by the city. This seemed to indicate that today's court meeting would never be calm.

"Guzhi..."

The heavy gate of Huangji Hall slowly opened, as if a stormy battle was slowly kicking off; the dull sound of the door opening was like a horn of battle, the ministers cheered up their spirits and their eyes were full of determination, like soldiers about to board the battlefield.

The atmosphere became more and more serious, and no one spoke. The ministers began to enter the hall in order. The companions who were holding umbrellas for the ministers were carefully left the Forbidden City under the escort of the guards, and they did not even dare to breathe.

In just less than a minute, the square, which was once full of people, was deserted and empty, and the brightly lit Huangji Hall began to hear bursts of passionate voices.

...

In such a cold day, you have to get up before the fifth day of the day. This is undoubtedly a huge torture for Zhu Youjian, a time traveler who was used to going to bed late in later generations.

Especially the dynasty that must be held every month is becoming more and more formal. Ministers often express opinions on political affairs that have nothing to do with them, making the dynasty that should be solemn and solemn are like a vegetable market, which is annoying.

Compared with the grand court meeting, the small-scale deliberation meetings held by the emperor and the cabinet assistant ministers are more administratively efficient. As long as the emperor and the cabinet chief minister reach a consensus, the court affairs can be passed smoothly.

Zhu Youjian had already decided to change the regular convening time of the grand court meeting from nine times a month to two times, on the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month, but this decision would probably be fiercely opposed by the ministers, especially those low-level officials.

They finally enjoyed the fun of giving advice to the court. It was the time to be in high spirits. If they changed the nine court meetings a month to twice a month, they would definitely complain and criticize the emperor for blocking the road of speech.

However, Zhu Youjian had made up his mind and began to change the time of the court meeting in the first year of Chongzhen.

As for the ministers' opposition, he was too lazy to worry about it anymore. After all, with Emperor Jiajing who had not attended court for more than 40 years and Emperor Wanli who had not attended court for more than 30 years, Zhu Youjian's two dynasties per month was enough to match the ministers.

...

"Start up and report if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

With Wang Chengen's sing, the first court meeting in December kicked off.

As soon as Wang Chengen's voice fell, Wang Shoulu, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, who had always been the vanguard of the Donglin Party, immediately shouted: "I have something to do, please let Your Majesty know."

Of course, Zhu Youjian knew what Wang Shoulu wanted to do, but he couldn't stop Wang Shoulu from speaking, but he just said with a blank expression: "Accurate!"

Wang Shoulu left the court, walked slowly to the imperial front, bowed to Chongzhen, and said, "I want to impeach Xu Xianchun, commander of the Jinyiwei. On November 30, Xu Xianchun killed innocent people Li Gang in public at Caishikou, Xishi City. On December 1, Xu Xianchun became more and more violent, and beat Li Qisheng, the Yangzhou senator who wanted to return justice to Li Gang in the street.

I also heard that Xu Xianchun openly intimidated local officials. During Xu Xianchun's investigation of the imperial village, all local officials and gentry people who refused to give him benefits were blackmailed by Xu Xianchun. Among them, Zhao Qiaowei, the former governor of Baoding, who was unwilling to be blackmailed, was convicted by him and beheaded at the mouth of Caishi, Xishi.

In addition, for other bureaucratic gentry who were unwilling to accept Xu Xianchun's enthronement, Xu Xianchun was imprisoned in the name of illegal and disorderly discipline, and was scolded and poisoned the place. It was extremely cruel and angry with both man and gods!"

Wang Shoulu fired his first shot, and a group of Donglin Party officials also took the initiative to accuse Zhu You prosecutor of Xu Xianchun of all kinds of crimes such as rampant behavior, killing innocent people, and corruption and abuse of power.

The impeachment offensive of the Donglin Party members still maintains their traditional characteristics, and is full of rhetoric and empty. Except for the fact that Xu Xianchun killed Li Gang and killed Li Qisheng, the two crimes occurred in full view of the public, the other charges were all added by the Donglin Party members to strengthen the impeachment effect.

But in Zhu Youjian's view, these crimes are like dog-tailed martening. They just need to firmly grasp Xu Xianchun and kill Li Qisheng. Li Gang's two solid hammers are enough. Why bother to create extra secrets and give people a handle?!

However, dozens of Donglin Party officials impeached together, which made the entire Huangji Palace boil. Seeing this scene, many officials who remained neutral also began to support the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party has stood in the court for decades, and officials have a relatively good understanding of the Donglin Party’s political philosophy and political demands. To put it bluntly, the Donglin Party is the spokesperson for the interests of the Southeast gentry class.

If the Donglin Party and other local forces compete for interests, it would be an internal conflict among the gentry class, and other officials would naturally be unrelated to their own affairs.

However, the impeachment of Xu Xianchun by the Donglin Party this time was undoubtedly a confrontation between the gentry class and the imperial power. The officials who had previously remained neutral naturally supported the Donglin Party from their own standpoint.

As a result, the impeachment of Xu Xianchun in the court became more and more powerful, even more than the last time Wei Zhongxian was impeached, and the pressure was pressing towards Zhu Youjian.
