The two of them were originally arranged to add materials to the Duke's Mansion so that the three Dukes could be killed on charges of treason. Unexpectedly, they didn't need to add materials at all.
Not to mention the issue of hoarding armor, the fact that they had the ability and influence to get soldiers to fight against government troops was a very serious crime.
When the three dukes' houses were searched, the disciples of the three families contacted each other to build up their momentum, trying to create a situation where the law could not hold everyone responsible. However, they did not know that this was just giving Emperor Chongzhen a knife handle.
It is not difficult to understand why this situation occurs.
By the 17th year of Chongzhen, or the 16th year of Chongzhen, all the civil and military officials thought the emperor was a fool. First, the chief minister Zhou Yanru lied about his military exploits, and then Li Jiantai, the commander-in-chief who went to war on behalf of the emperor, beat up the people in his own county. With all these things, who could have a little respect for the court, or the emperor?
