Chapter 66: Tracking Gao Panlong

The next day, the Luan Palace.

Zhu Youxiao strode into the Renshou Palace, and when he saw Xi Li Xuan, who was saluting and greeting him, he felt a chill in his heart.

"How do I treat you?"

Zhu Youxiao's words made Xi Li look confused, and until now, she still doesn't know what she did wrong.

"On that day, you colluded with the eunuch Cui Wensheng, after I ascended the throne, I will let you go for the sake of the first emperor, if you can stop the incident, it will be fine."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao's voice became colder.

"But you shouldn't, you shouldn't, start the queen's idea."

"She is my person, if she wants to move, she should also move!"

"The edict abolished the title of the Li family's chosen servant, did not give a penny of money, and expelled him from the palace! In the future, the use of the palace will be under the control of Concubine Liu. ”

Hearing this, Xi Li Xuanzhi felt dizzy in his head, and he saw that he was about to fall to the ground.

The attendant on the side habitually wanted to help, but was slapped to the ground by the quick-eyed little eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch.

"Dog, don't look who's here!"

The chamberlain felt guilty, and he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and cowered and begged the emperor to spare him the death penalty.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at it with disdain, turned around and said:

"You people, foxes, tigers, dogs, and people, have done everything! All of them are expelled from the palace and left to fend for themselves! ”

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao lowered his head and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Do you think that with Wei Zhongxian, I can't move you?" ”

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao sneered a few times and walked away.

Emperor Long Yan was furious, and the news of coming out for the queen and expelling Xi Li as a servant did not take long to spread throughout the harem.

Zheng Guifei and others, who often get close to Xi Li, heard the news that everyone was in danger and didn't dare to cause trouble again.

Actually, Wei Zhongxian once worked as a steward in Xili Palace, so the two walked very closely.

Before Xi Li's accident, he thought that he should have a backer in the harem, and Zheng Guifei's backer was King Fu, not Zhu Youxiao's casual move.

Xi Li thought about it, but decided to cling to Wei's body.

Now that she had an accident, Wei Zhongxian did not stand up and say more.

......

In a blink of an eye, another half a month passed, and the time came to May of the first year of the Apocalypse.

In the past half a month, the court has not stopped much, but this time it is not the Donglin Party that is looking for trouble, but the so-called "Eunuch Party".

A few days after Wei Zhongxian arrested Yu Shi Jiang Bingqian, a prepared confession was sent to Zhu Youxiao's imperial front.

In this confession, Jiang Bingqian confessed to the crimes of forming a party and embezzlement, and admitted that he was a protégé of Gao Panlong.

The confession came out, but Jiang Bingqian was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there have been no waves since he entered the Dongchang prison.

The news can be hidden, but some things can't be hidden.

It didn't take long for somehow there to be a lot of rumors about Jiang Bingqian in the government and the opposition.

Some say that he was so murderous that he was tortured to death by Wei Zhongxian in Dongchang Prison and beaten into a confession, while others said that he could not stand the punishment and died of serious injuries.

The death of an imperial historian did not set off any waves in the court of the Ming Dynasty, because the emperor at that time was obsessed with listening to operas.

Regarding Yue Fei's anti-gold play, not only Zhu Youxiao himself enjoyed watching it over and over again, but even Empress Zhang, Concubine Liu and other concubines were also taken to watch it together.

And no matter what the emperor's intentions are in this arrangement, anyway, the emperor in the harem, as long as he doesn't want to come out, the ministers can't find it at all.

The emperor indulged in lustful dogs and horses, but the news of the outer court came one after another.

Jiang Bingqian's confession was presented to the emperor, and Zhu Youxiao himself did not have much trouble, but Wei Zhongxian began to make waves in the court.

In the eyes of others, because of his prostitution and swaying from side to side, the emperor who couldn't make up his mind issued an order to remove Gao Panlong from the post of Zuodu Imperial History, and ordered him to be dismissed at home and to be examined.

However, Wei Zhongxian obviously didn't intend to just let him stay at home.

A few days after Gao Panlong returned home, the snowflakes flew to the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.

This time, almost all of them echoed the cabinet scholar Gu Bingqian and proposed to investigate Gao Panlong's party formation and corruption.

Since the end of Wanli, it is the first time that Donglin has been impeached by so many officials.

Many active-minded officials began to observe words and wait for the opportunity, because they all knew that the court was about to change.

Sure enough, the voice of impeachment of Gao Panlong rose higher and higher.

What brought this storm to its apex was the book "Gao Party Handbook" privately written by Cui Chengxiu, a squire of the Ministry of War.

Gu Bingqian and Cui Chengxiu were the first civil officials to notice the emperor's reliance on the Wei family.

They were also the first to not pay attention to the so-called "reputation", and were willing to be scolded as "eunuchs", just to become Wei's minions, and since then they have soared to prosper.

Wang Zaijin is still different from them, he is a Donglin party, but he is also an imperial party.

He was picked up by Zhu Youxiao, did not participate in party struggles, was not afraid of offending the powerful, and was only dedicated to reform.

From April of the first year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian, who had been brewing for a long time, began to purge the Donglin Party.

The officials of the "eunuch party" in the DPRK and China vied with each other and impeached almost every Donglin party, but they did not touch Wang Zaijin, a scholar from Donglin University.

Cui Chengxiu privately wrote the book "Gao Dang Handbook", not only to please Wei Zhongxian, but also because he knew in his heart that the emperor would not want to be dominant.

He has a lot of ambitions, a book, and wants to shoot two people's sycophants.

The eunuchs cleaned Donglin, and the emperor lived in the harem and ignored it, because Donglin was still in the dynasty.

Donglin can fall, but the eunuch party cannot be allowed to become the next Donglin, what forces, once they occupy an absolute advantage, it is not good news for those in power.

Cui Chengxiu compiled the book "Gao Party Handbook", which directly narrowed and characterized the Donglin Party into a "Gao Party" headed by Gao Panlong and Jiang Bingqian.

Wei Zhongxian got the book and was very happy.

In this book, there are seven court officials with names and surnames, including Gao Panlong, Jiang Bingqian, Zhou Shunchang, and Zhou Qiyuan, all of whom are suspected of corruption and forming a party.

The day after I got the book, Dongchang Fanzi went out.

In addition to Jiang Bingqian, the remaining six people, including Gao Panlong, were all targets of the fans.

The matter was very troublesome, and the scholars kept fanning the flames in the market, but this did not stop the footsteps of Dongchang from arresting people.

Soon, the fans arrested Zhou Shunchang, Zhou Qiyuan and other five people in Beijing.

But when hundreds of fans came to Gao Panlong's mansion in full armor, they got an unexpected news.

Not long ago, Gao Panlong had sunk himself in a backyard pond.

Looking down at the "desperate sparseness" sent out by the housekeeper of the Gao Mansion, the head of the Dongchang stall led by him snorted coldly, and turned around and left with hundreds of fans.

After Yang Lianzhishi, Gao Panlong finally died at his own hands, and the Manchu Dynasty Donglin was suffocated, and he did not dare to impeach the Wei family.

Zhu Youxiao also heard a piece of news from the mouth of Liu Qiao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, that Wei Zhongxian could not tell him.

It is said that it took less than a month for the Wei Dynasty to go to Fengyang, and it was found starving to death on the side of the stinky ditch, with tattered clothes, and I think it was tortured by people during his lifetime.

No need to ask, it must be Wei Zhongxian's revenge.

What is surprising is that Wang An has been home for so long, but Wei Zhongxian has not troubled him, I don't know whether he is worried about his old relationship with him, or simply can't do it.

......

"Although the ministers have been cut down, the former ministers are ministers, and the ministers cannot be humiliated. If you insult the minister, you will insult the country. I would like to pay attention to the north to follow Qu Ping's legacy. Jun's grace has not been reported, and he is willing to marry in the next life, and the minister Gao Panlong will not write the book. The envoy hereby reverts to the emperor. ”

On this day, Zhu Youxiao, who was dressed, sat in the Xinuan Pavilion, looking down at the desperate sparseness in his hand, with a nine-point sneer in his voice, half a point sad.

"Gao Panlong, you can have this fate, it's all your own doing..."

Shaking his head, Zhu Youxiao put down his desperate sparseness and summoned a little eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor, planning to go to Nanhaizi to ride a horse and gallop to relax and relax his dull mood.

There were so many things going on in the court in April that it was breathless.
