Chapter 56 Ruthless Huo Weihua (Asking for a Monthly Pass Collection)

Tian Ergeng hurriedly received the order, and ordered a hundred brocade guards to go straight to Huo Weihua's mansion.

Huo Weihua (?-1636), a native of Dongguang (now Hebei) in the Ming Dynasty.

Wanli Jinshi. In addition to the magistrate of Jintan County, the military hat was conscripted and given to the matter. In the early years of the Apocalypse, he attached himself to Wei Zhongxian and framed and killed Wang An.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), he was promoted to the criminal department, determined to attack the Donglin party, pursued the three cases, and rewrote the "Guangzong Record".

Huo Weihua and Cui Chengxiu are both masterminds of Wei Zhongxian. He was promoted to the Taifu Siqing, and was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of War, acting as the agent of the household affairs. Every time you play, you must sing the praises of Wei Gelding.

Wei Zhongxian failed, and Congquan appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of War as an assistant to the military administration, and later replaced Yuan Chonghuan because of the plot.

It was time for Lun Xin and others to be impeached, and it was determined to enter the reverse case, and the officials were impeached one after another, and it was determined to enter the reverse case, and Huo died of depression in the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636).

At this time, Huo Weihua was a waiter in the military department, and he had always regarded himself as a eunuch, so he was naturally blatantly corrupt and bribed, which matched his identity as an undercover eunuch.

It is Huo Weihua's mansion built in great luxury, comparable to that of a prince.

The Huo family's mansion is located between a magnificent building in the east city, surrounded by a noble house, a pair of mighty stone lions at the door, the door is painted with vermilion lacquer, and there is a sense of immediacy of Zhumen's wine and meat.

"Boom!"

Tian Ergeng led the knight to step on the Zhu Gate, and the originally closed gate collapsed, breaking into the extremely luxurious Huo family's mansion.

But what caught Tian Ergeng and the others off guard was that the huge Huo family was dead silent, and there were bursts of bloody breath wafting in the air.

From a distance, dozens of corpses were lying on the ground in the courtyard, all red with blood.

Tian Ergeng had predicted all kinds of situations before he came, and even thought that the Huo family knew that it was inevitable to die, and would desperately resist with the idea of pulling people to support them when they were dying, but he never expected that coming to the Huo family would be such a situation.

After a hundred households led people to search the Huo family hastily, he reported: "Tell the commander that the Huo family has not seen a single living person, and they must all be dead." ”

Tian Ergeng asked, "What about Huo Weihua?"

Baihu replied: "I haven't seen his person or his body, but I haven't searched carefully." ”

Tian Ergeng asked again: "Have you searched Huo Weihua's study?"

Baihu shook his head and said, "No." ”

Tian Ergeng said: "Let's go, follow our family to Huo Weihua's study to have a look." ”

A group of people surrounded Tian Ergeng and came to Huo Weihua's study, and sure enough, in the study, Huo Weihua was sitting on the Taishi chair, as if he had been waiting for Tian Ergeng for a long time.

Tian Ergeng said coldly: "Huo Weihua, you killed the first emperor, let's go with our family!"

Huo Weihua laughed miserably: "Lord Tian, the old man has even killed all the old and young, just so that they don't have to be humiliated by you and other sluts, not to mention the old man?"

Seeing that Huo Weihua's lips were black and purple, Tian Ergeng was shocked and said, "You took poison?"

"Yes, yes. Huo Weihua nodded, and then said hatefully: "The old man thought that after killing the Apocalypse, once Zhu Youzhen, who had been taught by Donglin scholars since childhood, ascended the throne, he would reuse our party to eradicate the eunuch party, and the court would eventually usher in the trend of the dynasty."

It's hateful that Zhu Youzhen crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and after ascending the throne, he still reused the eunuch party, and let the eunuch party control the government.

"Shut up!" Tian Ergeng said awe-inspiringly: "Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts are really God's bestow, how can you be bewitched by you and others to reuse Donglin traitors?"

"Hmph!" Huo Weihua obviously had a monstrous anger towards Zhu Youzhen, he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhu Youzhen used eunuchs to control the government, and even wantonly slaughtered loyal ministers.

In fact, it is the king of the Ming Dynasty, the two hundred and fifty-year-old dynasty of the Ming Dynasty will die at the hands of Zhu Youzhen, the old man is under the nine springs, and he is waiting for how the king of the Ming Dynasty will fall into the eighteenth layer of hell!"

"Traitors dare!"

Tian Ergeng's loyalty to Emperor Chongzhen is beyond anyone's reach, and when he heard Huo Weihua speak wildly, cursing Chongzhen, he immediately shouted: "Come on, chop this thief into meat sauce, crush bones and ashes!"

"Hahaha!" Huo Weihua spurted blood from his mouth, looked up to the sky and scolded: "Zhu Youzhen, you will not die well, I am waiting for you under the Nine Springs." ”

After that, as soon as his head was tilted, he would die with a whimper.

In the palace, Zhu Youzhen's face was gloomy, his fingers couldn't stop trembling, but there was a trace of undoubted firmness in his eyes, which was an expression that Wang Chengen had never seen in his life.

Zhu Youzhen said in a deep voice: "Big companion, the intention is to be made."

Han Yi, the former head of the cabinet, plotted against him, killed the first emperor Tianqi, was heinous and heinous, and he was executed by Ling Chi and killed the nine clans!

Zhou Yanru, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, plotted against him, participated in the assassination, and was like a rebellion.

Huo Weihua, the squire of the military department, plotted against him, assassinated the king and killed him, when Ling Chi was in charge, he broke his bones and scattered ashes, and killed the nine clans!

From Zhu Youzhen's mouth, the words of the Nine Clans, the Yi Three Clans, Ling Chi, and the Broken Bones and Ashes continue to emerge.

Hearing this, Wang Chengen's heart trembled, and his good calligraphy was originally a good handwriting, but because of these frightened people, his handwriting was sloppy.

It was not easy to finish writing Zhu Youzhen's edict, repeating it, and after confirming that it was correct, Wang Chengen trembled and persuaded: "Your Majesty, if you deal with it so severely, the hundred officials will definitely not be convinced, do you want to talk to the cabinet and make a decision again?"

Zhu Youzhen pondered for a while and said, "Well, you gave this holy decree to Huang Liji, remember to let him seal it, not to ask for his opinion!"

"The old slave understands. Wang Chengen took the order and left.

The next day, Wang Chengen stood up at the signal of Zhu Youzhen and announced the decree to the Manchu ministers.

Wang Chengen said in a loud voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says:

Han Yi, the former head of the cabinet, plotted against him, killed the first emperor, was heinous and heinous, and he was executed by Ling Chi and killed the nine clans!

...... Chin!"

When Wang Chengen finished announcing the edict, there was no boiling scene in the court as expected by Zhu Youzhen, but it was like a late-night cemetery, a dead silence.

It wasn't until more than a dozen breaths later that the Manchu ministers seemed to have fully received the message in the holy decree, and the entire court hall was like cooking oil on fire, and it exploded!

"The minister opposes His Majesty's will!"

"The minister is also against it!"

"Wechen will never accept it!"

"If Your Majesty insists on going his own way, I will stop the court immediately"

......

As Zhu Youzhen expected, after the promulgation of the holy decree, the entire court was really opposed.

The cabinet ministers, who usually regarded themselves as the imperial party, were so frightened that they were so frightened that they did not dare to express their support when they saw such a fierce wave of opposition from the ministers.

Even Huang Liji didn't dare to stand up for a while.

Speaking of which, Zhu Youzhen was also so angry that he should let Huang Liji play first, and then take advantage of the situation, and the pressure would naturally be much less.

Zhu Youzhen had a gloomy face, did not say a word, and silently accepted the verbal and written criticism of the ministers for nearly half an hour, until the ministers' throats were hoarse and hoarse, and he could not even breathe, he counterattacked.

Zhu Youzhen said with a cold face: "It's all over, right? You and others oppose the will promulgated by me, but my will is from the disposal of Han Yi and others, a total of nine articles have been promulgated, and you will talk about it, which one do you oppose?"

Henan Provincial Imperial Shi Hou raised his head and said loudly: "All the decrees issued by His Majesty are ridiculous, there is no reason, and all the ministers are against it!"

Many ministers coaxed: "That's right, the holy decree issued by Your Majesty is unreasonable, and the ministers must not obey the edict, and I ask Your Majesty to withdraw the will." ”

"Huh. Zhu Youzhen smiled, nodded and said, "Great, since you want to reason with me, then I will reason with you."

Wang Chengen, you preach the confession of Han Yi and Huo Weihua who conspired to kill the first emperor, and let all the secretaries come to listen to it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Wang Chengen responded: "According to the confession of Han Yi, the former cabinet minister, the incident of the first emperor falling into the water in the fifth year of the Apocalypse was planned by Han Yi, Huo Weihua and others......

But Huo Weihua committed suicide in fear of crime, killed the whole family before committing suicide, and personally admitted that the first emperor was indeed poisoned by him. ”

Wang Chengen's voice fell, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were speechless, after all, Han Yi and Huo Weihua committed the crime of killing the king, and they also succeeded, such a crime, who dares to intercede for them?

The result is really there, a royal historian came out and said: "Your Majesty, although Han Yi and Huo Weihua killed the monarch is a great crime, but God has the virtue of a good life."

His Majesty's frequent punishment of the nine clans was not done by Ming Jun, and he also asked His Majesty to change the punishment of Han Yi and Huo Weihua to the beheading of the whole family, so as to demonstrate His Majesty's benevolence. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the imperial history with an expressionless face, and then sneered: "If I insist on going my own way, I must punish Han Yi and Huo Weihua's nine clans?"

The indulgence of civil officials in the past of the Ming Dynasty has long spoiled the imperial historians, and the imperial history is obviously the same.

He rebuked with great righteousness: "If Your Majesty does not accept the advice of his ministers, he is a first-class tyrant."

As a royal history, Weichen enjoys the support of the Ming Dynasty, and can only be admonished by death. If the death of Weichen can make His Majesty change his ways, then why should Weichen die?"

Zhu Youzhen glanced at the imperial history, and said indifferently, "Since ancient times, the ministers have advised the monarch, since I ascended the throne, the ministers and ministers have not appeared, and if you want to hit the pillar, you still scold me and go to win the reputation of the world, I will not stop it."

If anyone dies in the main hall, I will accompany him to issue an edict of guilt, so that his name will go down in history and be remembered for eternity, come!

Zhu Youzhen commanded in an extremely indifferent tone, and his voice was the same as before, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day for the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and everyone was stunned.

The imperial history looked at Zhu Youzhen in astonishment, his lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

After trembling for a long time, he cried bitterly and said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the sin of the minister is nothing more than a sin in the act of righteousness.

Even if the minister's advice is not accepted by His Majesty, he can reprimand the minister, why do you want to force the minister so much? What is the difference between Your Majesty's actions and the Majesty's actions?"
