Chapter 361: I'm curious
waited until Li Rixuan's expression eased up, Xu Xianqing asked, "Why did you come so late?" ”
Xu Xianqing didn't ask, but when he asked, Li Rixuan's expression suddenly became more ugly than crying: "Zhang Jingtai was beheaded, and the three clans were implicated. ”
After spitting out a piece of tea with a bang, Li Rixuan continued: "According to the news that came over, the entire Caoyun Yamen was bleeding like a river, and hundreds of people lost their heads, and then they dug a pit and buried it. As for the aftermath, it's unclear. ”
Xu Xianqing's face also became extremely ugly, and his voice became a little hoarse: "What about the Imperial History?" It's impossible that there is no movement at all? ”
When Li Rixuan heard this, his face was full of ridicule: "Dead, Li Cao's participation in politics, patrol of the imperial history, Langzhong, supervision, punishment, and chief affairs are all dead from top to bottom." ”
Wang Yuncheng said angrily: "Jin Xuan's dog thief acted like this, didn't he suffer God's punishment? We will be the Son of Heaven and punish such lawless people! ”
Xu Xianqing sneered: "Damnation? When today's son is touring all the way south, whose order is the gold thief acting at this time, do you still need to think about it? The patrol imperial history is all dead, and he is still on the book of the Son of Heaven? ”
Listening to the sarcasm in Xu Xianqing's mouth, Wang Yuncheng suddenly felt a little unbearable on his face: "So what? Isn't Your Majesty afraid of the world's discussions? ”
Xu Xianqing looked at Wang Yuncheng at this time as if he was looking at a fool: "If Your Majesty is afraid of the world's discussions, what are we still doing here?" Why did King Gui go to Fengyang? ”
Now a group of people are panicking and erasing the evidence and killing people, so they don't hesitate to even look up to the Donglin bigwigs in the past are on the list of exterminations, for what?
Isn't it because Emperor Chongzhen has always been shameless in his actions, and he has always scared these people by his murderous methods that have no regard for his reputation at all?
Zhang Jingtai is dead, anyway, it is Wang Xiangchun who contacts Zhang Jingtai, and the people who contact Wang Xiangchun are some bigwigs in Zhejiang, even if they can't find their heads, so they don't have to be so afraid.
Wang Yuncheng was peeled, his face was even more ugly, and he immediately stiffened his neck and said, "Your Majesty treats me like nothing like this?" ”
Xu Xianqing sneered: "So what? When the child ...... today"
After a slight pause, Xu Xianqing continued: "When today's tiger is looking at the eagle and the divine dragon is soaring above the nine heavens, what is the difference between me and those peddlers and pawns in the eyes of His Majesty?" It's all just a dog. ”
Xu Xianqing first swallowed back a sentence, and then said Tiger Eye Eagle Yang, in the words that were swallowed back, the four words Wolf Gu Tiger Eye were affirmative.
But the people present did not laugh at Xu Xianqing's inconsistent performance, but felt that Xu Xianqing's use of Tiger Eagle Yang and Shenlong Xiang in the Nine Heavens to describe today is too appropriate.
Xiong Mingyu exclaimed: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and saints are unkind, and people are used as dogs." Today, when the son regards the hundred officials as the same as the common people, is this not the way of the saint? ”
Xu Xianqing nodded, and said in agreement: "Yes, since Your Majesty's reign, all the people killed are the people who harm the people, and Your Majesty intends to take commercial taxes, which are also used for the common people in the world, which is in response to the words of the way of heaven to make up for the deficiency, it can be seen that the Son of Heaven is the number of the way of heaven."
It's ridiculous that those businessmen don't understand the true meaning and try to rebel against the days, isn't it self-destruction? ”
For a while, no one cared about Zhang Jingtai's life or death, but discussed Emperor Chongzhen's policy of governance.
For example, if you never give an edict, isn't this your majesty's act of self-denial for the people?
For example, building more than ten Beijing temples on the grassland in a row, isn't this the most direct embodiment of His Majesty's inner and outer kings?
Emperor Chongzhen, who was heading from Yangzhou to Nanjing, didn't know what these guys were studying, and after arriving in Nanjing, Emperor Chongzhen was even confused by these guys.
Nothing else, it's really that the bigwigs of the Sixth Department of Nanjing are too fucking sensible, didn't Emperor Chongzhen want to collect business taxes because the eight bastards in Shanxi were unhappy?
Harvest! It must be collected, and whoever dares to oppose it is to ignore the national righteousness, that is, to want to fornicate and build slaves, that is, to be selfish, in short, this commercial tax must be collected.
Didn't the emperor like to study the knowledge of the Western barbarians?
No problem, Your Majesty, please see, this is the West that I have collected for Your Majesty, more or less a heart, isn't it?
Oh, Your Majesty doesn't know what is written on it? It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, please see, there is still a translation here, but the ministers are stupid and don't understand the true meaning, Your Majesty is a pedantic celestial, and he must be able to understand.
Your Majesty thinks the guard should be reformed? Separation of military and political leaders?
must leave, it is taboo for Wenchen to interfere in martial affairs, and now His Majesty is wise and martial, how do you say to change it, let's do it.
Being by these guys like this, Emperor Chongzhen felt confused.
You bastards aren't trying to rebel?
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen really thought that these goods could be reversed at first, after all, all these things he did, which one of them could be said to be aimed at these fellow parties.
It's just that I never thought that these guys are now obedient like their grandsons, how Abe knelt and licked Okuhei, what kind of virtue these people are.
Of course, no matter how much these goods are licked, Emperor Chongzhen will not take it seriously, and anyone who treats the Ming literati as dogs will be bitten into dead dogs in the end.
Thanks to the development of the network in later generations and the vigorous smearing of the history of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen probably remembered that more than 40,000 people were implicated in the Hu Weiyong and Lanyu cases.
Normally, with Lao Zhu's strength, it is said that he should be honest, right?
No, no!
When Lao Zhu was alive, the big guys didn't dare to do anything, and they all planned to wait for Lao Zhu to die before making a good wave.
As a result, Lao Zhu died, and after Jianwen's idiot ascended the throne, he let these goods be fooled and lame.
Then the fourth child, who killed his own nephew, came to power, but the big guy still couldn't get up.
This, it doesn't matter, after all, these two men have military power in their hands and started immediately, so if they can't fool, they can't fool.
After the fourth son, Zhu Gaochi, ascended the throne, this changed.
What does Zhu Gaochi say, that is, he is soft-hearted, or too soft-hearted, for the loyal ministers of Emperor Jianwen, those who were assigned have been pardoned, including the so-called "Yi Ten Clans" Fang Xiaoru, in fact, there are also descendants who have been pardoned.
But Zhu Gaochi hung up after ten months as emperor, some of the reasons were that he had a heart attack due to overindulgence, and some smearing professionals such as "History of the Ming Dynasty" suspected that Zhu Zhanji killed his father.
But after Emperor Chongzhen crossed, he found out that it was a fucking calf at all.
The real reason is because this guy wants to check the tax situation in Yingtian, Zhenjiang, Songjiang and other places, and he has sent political envoy Zhou Han to investigate the people's interests in eight prefectures, including Ye Chun Xiaoxing, Yingtian, Zhenjiang and other eight prefectures.
Of course, the final result of this buddy has no chance to see, because he has already made a box, but it is cheaper than Zhu Zhanji later.
But if Zhu Gaochi's death has nothing to do with this, then Emperor Chongzhen can't believe it anyway.
It's really too strange that the later emperors died.
Zhu Zhanji can be literate and martial, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an emperor immediately, but he only became an emperor for ten years before he unexpectedly got sick and died.
And what did this guy do?
Of course, it's not that this guy likes to fight crickets, just like Emperor Chongzhen always likes to visit 1024 before he crosses, it's a hobby.
At the same time that Zhu Zhanji found that he was already very stable, he unexpectedly found that the civil service system was also fucking stable!
Can this emperor, who has been trained by the fourth child since he was a child, endure it?
I can't bear it, what should I do? The power of the civil official clique has reached a very rampant point, and at this time, Zhu Zhanji found that he could not be like his great-grandfather and grandfather, and he could kill whoever he wanted.
But it doesn't matter, aren't there eunuchs?
The ancestors stipulated that eunuchs were not allowed to read and write? It's okay, I don't care.
In this way, Zhu Zhanji ordered the scholar Chen Shan to be the first teacher of the eunuchs, and another generation of eunuchs to teach the next generation of eunuchs.
So this buddy, who has been the emperor for ten years, suddenly fell ill and died.
Further down to his son Zhu Qizhen, when he was in Tumubao, the army was more familiar with the terrain than the Ming army, this kind of can happen, and in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, he was a fool who was pit into a dead dog.
And later, the so-called change of seizing the door was even more ridiculous, Governor Zhang, Metropolitan Inspectorate, Zuodu Yushi Yang Shan, Taichangqing Xu Bin and Left Deputy Imperial Shi Xu Youzhen and others, together with the eunuch Cao Jixiang and the prince and master Shi Xiang, played a play and supported the restoration of Zhu Qizhen.
It's another group of Wenchen.
The next Zhu Jianshen was "early and wise", and later he came out of the West Factory, which was revoked after only five years of operation.
Only five years have passed since the West Factory was revoked, and Zhu Jianshen has also cooled.
There is nothing to say in the future, Xiaozong Zhu Zhu is considered a good death, Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, a guy who personally handles the knife and cuts people, fell into the water and contracted the wind and cold and hung up, and even wanted to change the imperial doctor was rejected.
Jiajing Zhu Hou found out that he was cheated after Lao Xu killed Yan Song, and planned to ask Lao Xu for an explanation, and then he suddenly fell ill and died.
The next Mu Zongzhu Zai overindulged, coupled with taking aphrodisiacs for a long time, and the emperor who had been the emperor for six years also died, the problem is that this guy did the Longqing switch in the first year of Longqing.
Wanli's buddy is better, at least he lives longer, in the early days, a military boss like Qi Jiguang wanted to call himself a little lackey Qi to Zhang Juzheng.
Later, as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, this buddy found that he still couldn't be the master of the house, so he simply drank and became wealthy, and killed himself.
Later, Guangzong Zhu Changluo died in the red pill, and Xizong Zhu Youxiao died in the water.
If the deaths of these emperors in the Ming Dynasty were all natural factors, and there was no black hand participation of some people, Emperor Chongzhen felt that this was a fucking joke in the world.
It is precisely because he knew the emperors of the Ming Dynasty before, especially the causes of death of Zhengde and Tianqi, that Emperor Chongzhen re-established the West Factory at the beginning of the crossing, as well as the Internal Investigation Factory.
As for his own style of being disobedient to the life and death of his flat head brother, if it were not for the protection of these dead eunuchs and Jinyi Guard, maybe when the boat would capsize and be planted in the hands of these second brothers.
It's just that with the increasing prestige of his own, especially in the army, he has attracted a wave, so the role of the factory guard is relatively lightened, so that it will not be as poor as the factory guard and the white pole soldier at the beginning.
Now that these guys in Nanjing are suddenly as obedient as their grandsons, Emperor Chongzhen will inevitably start to think more, these dogs will not let me suddenly fall into the water, right?
Emperor Chongzhen, who was afraid of death, even replaced the guards of the palace, and because he did not bring any concubines with him, the defense of the palace ban was simply handed over to the new army, and all the eunuchs in the palace were left after repeated confirmation.
That's it, there are still Jinyi guards brought from the capital at any time who are constantly patrolling.
Of course, if you are afraid of death, you are afraid of death, and in the case of safety and security, Emperor Chongzhen still thinks that he should be an emperor like a flat-headed brother!
So at the next day's court meeting, Emperor Chongzhen opened his fangs after the ministers finished saluting: "I have traveled all the way, and there has been news of the killing of Confucians from all over the country, what's the matter, Jiangnan is to welcome me?" ”
Daming is probably the first in the world to play cloud backup Nanjing, like the capital, has six departments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Administration Department, the Five Military Governor's Office, the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian and other institutions, and the level of officials is also the same as Beijing.
The capital is located in Shuntianfu, and Nanjing is located in Yingtianfu, collectively known as Erjing Mansion, but each of the six yamen in Nanjing only has a book, two waiters, and the words "Nanjing X" should be signed when writing.
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen asked, Wang Shiyuan, the secretary of Nanjing Dali Temple, and Chen Wenzhuo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, went out of class together and bowed down and said: "The minister is guilty. ”
Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "What does this have to do with you? What sin do you receive? ”
Seeing that the two of them were choked and speechless, Emperor Chongzhen, who looked playful, simply said directly: "These people who died are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, so I have to take care of it, so I sent Jinyi Wei to investigate." Guess it, what did Jinyiwei find? ”
As soon as the three words Jinyiwei came out of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth, the ministers in the court all shrank.
The lethality of these three words is too great, especially for someone as famous as Ji Gang, or famous in Nanjing, which official of the six departments in Nanjing is true?
Emperor Chongzhen ignored the reaction below, and said directly with a stinky face: "Of these people who died, one is counted as one, all of them are learned Confucians of the Donglin Party, and none of them are ordinary people.
In this way, I am even more curious, so not only Jinyiwei is investigating, but even the East and West Factory is also investigating.
It wasn't until the results of the investigation were reported to me that I found out that I, the Son of Heaven, that is, the Son of Heaven in the capital, was not the Son of Heaven in Nanjing at all, or rather, I was not the Son of Heaven in Jiangnan at all! ”
