Chapter 167: Wei Guangwei's dilemma
Wei Dazhong, who is also a member of the Donglin Party, impeached Wei Guangwei, which caused a great storm among the Donglin Party, and even Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, couldn't stand it.
Han Yi is now not only the leader of Donglin, but also the leader of the moderate faction in Donglin, and he never recommends colliding with the eunuchs who are in the limelight.
Huang Zunsu and Han Yi are in the same class and are fellow villagers, and when Ye Xianggao was still the first assistant, he supported Han Yi and belonged to the Donglin moderates.
This kind of thing belongs to the family ugly, Han Yi naturally can't come forward, and when he heard that Wei Dazhong impeached Wei Guangwei, Huang Zunsu was entrusted by Han Yi to go to Wei Dazhong's mansion to persuade him.
"Humph!"
Huang Zunsu came to visit, and Wei Dazhong naturally didn't want to refuse, but this did not delay him with indignation.
Huang Zunsu meant to persuade Wei Dazhong to turn big things into small things and small things, after all, it was Donglin's own family business, and the eunuch party has not moved yet, I am afraid that they are all watching jokes.
In fact, he thought well, Wei Zhongxian was just waiting to see the jokes of the Donglin Party, and then see if he could profit from it.
"Wei Guangwei has a small amount of energy, and he has an excellent face, I can see it early in the morning." Huang Zunsu poured a cup of tea for Wei Dazhong and sighed:
"If this kind of ugly thing happens, the court will naturally not be able to keep him, what the elder means is that we can slowly dilute him, and if we attack him too quickly, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not take risks."
"In my opinion, it's better to slow down for a while, and then go up to Your Majesty, transfer him to the border, and dilute the impact."
As he spoke, Huang Zunsu quietly looked at Wei Dazhong.
The latter is a quick temper, and he knows in his heart that what Huang Zunsu said is the best way to deal with it at present, but somehow, the string in his head just can't turn.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and said:
"Taking a risk? Could it be that he still dared to vote for the eunuch party! ”
Wei Dazhong couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, his personality was more impatient than Yang Lian, and he always wanted to fight with the eunuchs.
Huang Zunsu's words were originally to persuade him to ease up a little, but he didn't want to, but he touched an invisible nerve, and Wei Dazhong was even more annoyed.
Listen to him:
"This sacrifice is the emperor's promulgation of this year's calendar, the Huanghuang Heavenly Empire, and then a month and a half later, the Quartet Domain, the Nine Empires and Eight Barbarians, which one dares not to pursue it?"
"Those who dare to disobey Zhengshuo are only the Jurchen chieftains of Jianzhou who stole and occupied Liaodong, and the little generals on the remote islands."
"Wei Guangwei, as an important minister and ruling minister of Donglin, is as arrogant and unrighteous as a traitor, and such a major event can be late, which shows how rude his rampant rudeness has been!"
"You..."Huang Zunsu raised his hand and said:
"Kong Shi, you are serious about this, how can Wei Guangwei say that he is also a heavy minister of Donglin, how can it be compared with the rebellion of small countries such as Jianzhou and Dongying?"
"I don't need to persuade you anymore, I've made up my mind!"
Wei Dazhong picked up the teacup on the table and drank it down, and pressed the teacup back to the table.
Huang Zunsu saw that he was so angry that his eyes were split, and he was angry, and his heart was broken, and he said that it was better not to come back to persuade him, I am afraid that after he leaves, he will have to be impeached again.
Wei Dazhong's quick temper, once he decides on a truth, the nine cows will not be able to pull it back, and it will be a big deal sooner or later, and he will have to go back to the elder to discuss it in the long run.
Thinking of this, he didn't say more, and found a reason to resign from Wei Dazhong's mansion and go to Han Yi to discuss.
......
Sure enough, as soon as Huang Zunsu walked on the front foot, Wei Dazhong's back foot was on another sharply spoken note.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't cry or laugh, and adopted Wei Zhongxian's suggestion, stayed in the middle and didn't send it, so that this matter could develop again.
Wei Guangwei saw that Wei Dazhong compared himself to the rebel chief and the general Dongying in the song, and he was angry and blew his beard and glared, and hurriedly said that he had an eye disease and needed to recuperate at home.
"The minister's delay due to an eye disease is just a sin that stops his decorum of propriety. This generation Xiaoxiao, regardless of the severity of the trial, is impeached, and it is really unbearable. ”
This is not over, Wei Guang defended himself with a clear play, and ridiculed each other, saying that Wei Dazhong's temper was not enough to be up to the task.
Secretly, he asked people and asked for relationships everywhere, and his fellow clansmen and fellow villagers of the Donglin Party were not to mention, and one of them defended him by virtue of their superiors.
After Huang Zunsu went back, he consulted with Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet.
These two people don't know what the result of the discussion, anyway, after that, the moderate people in Donglin neither impeached Wei Guangwei nor echoed Wei Dazhong, but in order to protect themselves, they were directly out.
Can Wei Guangwei be willing?
At the beginning, he took the trouble to push Han Yi to the position of Shoufu, but it was not to watch him push the ball and play Tai Chi, and clean himself at this juncture.
Many officials of Wei Guangwei's clan and township began to intercede for him.
said that Wei Guangwei missed the ceremony and the calendar, but there was a reason, his eye disease became more and more serious, and it was still difficult to stay in bed at home.
Wei Dazhong mobilized the radical faction of the Donglin Party, and accordingly impeached Wei Dazhong and several Donglin officials of the same sect who interceded for him.
said that Wei Guangwei's move was intended to exclude dissidents and strike at the right value.
Over the past few days, the internal split within the Donglin Party has become more and more serious.
In addition to the radical faction around Wei Dazhong and Zhao Nanxing, there are also moderates such as Huang Zunsu and Han Yi who stay out of the matter, and a small number of them are Wei Guangwei's fellow clansmen and fellow villagers, who are running around for him, begging for mercy and dredging.
Wei Zhongxian really didn't expect this unexpected joy, and hurriedly went to Xinuan Pavilion to find the emperor and suggest the next holy message.
This oracle has no other meaning, it is to further intensify the contradictions within the Donglin Party.
Zhu Youxiao was really interested in this kind of thing that made the Donglin Party eat a dog, and he didn't say anything, so he immediately allowed Wei Zhongxian to play it and let him play freely.
Soon, the emperor revealed his meaning for the first time in this kind of court and political chaos, and specially instructed the court officials to put aside their prejudices and not to attack each other.
As a special note, most of the science and technology officials are not convinced.
The emperor's special edict was drafted by Wei Zhongxian with Zhu Youxiao's approval and Gu Bingqian, and it seemed that the emperor was persuading.
But what he actually meant was that Wei Dazhong was unreasonable first, and a small matter had to make a big fuss, which was simply insulting to Donglin Daoguan.
Yushi Li Yingsheng was tacitly instructed by Zhao Nanxing, and two days later went to the Xinuan Pavilion to make a series of refutations against Wei Dazhong's defense of his so-called "crime and loss of etiquette".
All of a sudden, the situation escalated further, and countless science and Taoist officials began to concentrate on attacking Wei Guangwei under the leadership of Zhao Nanxing and Wei Dazhong.
The most incisive is the impeachment recital that Zhao Nanxing respected.
"Zhao Nanxing, the imperial history of the left capital and the secretary of the Ministry of Officials:
If you make a mistake in your salute, it will be a loss of etiquette. According to the provisions of the "Da Ming Law", if you delay the court, you should be whipped 40, and if you delay the sacrifice, you should be whipped 100.
Dare to ask Your Majesty, can you not obey the law for the sin of Guangwei?
The ministers and ministers are all officials, and the officials are close ministers of the Son of Heaven. Guangwei's father was a speech official, and he went because he offended the ministers, and he has been vocal so far.
His Majesty Wanwang gave an edict to make Guangwei withdraw from reading his father's book to protect his family's reputation. Don't be fearless and embarrassed by the Manchu officials. If he goes underground one day, he will have the face to face his late father! ”
This note is quite sharp, and when it clearly points out the mistakes made by Wei Guangwei, it also points out the punishment for this in the "Da Ming Law", so as to block Youyou's mouth.
Even after Zhu Youxiao read it, he felt that the impeachment kung fu of the Donglin Party was really first-class, and from this note alone, it shows the depth of Zhao Nanxing's skills.
Wei Guangwei continued to quibble, or he was stubborn, according to the axioms, there were only two results, either "quit reading his father's book and save the family's reputation", or he would be whipped a hundred times, losing face and worrying about his life.
As soon as this note was published, it caused an uproar throughout the Manchu dynasty.
Wei Guang was slightly embarrassed and angry, and he changed color, Zhao Nanxing actually compared the deeds of his late father Wei Yunzhen with himself, and the meaning of ridicule and sarcasm was self-evident.
Speaking of Wei Yunzhen, she is indeed well-known among the Donglin Party.
During the Wanli period, the party struggle was in full swing, the Donglin Party was not the ruling party, and Wei Yunzhen, the father of Wei Guangwei, was known for his "uprightness, outspokenness and daring to admonish".
The so-called Zhuo grandeur is expected by everyone, and it is Wei Yunzhen.
