Chapter 127: The First Defeat of the Clear Stream
Feng Zhu appeared in Zhu Xu's study with Zhou Yingqiu's fold, his expression respectful and puzzled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhu Xu looked at Zhou Yingqiu's 'handwritten letter' with a strange expression.
Wei Zhongxian originally launched a crazy attack on the Donglin Party in this year's Admiral Dongchang, and therefore discovered that the powerful Donglin Party was actually a strong external cadre and was vulnerable, so he killed the killer and killed the Donglin Party of the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty in just four years, almost exterminating.
Now, after a circle, I actually came back again.
It's just that Wei Zhongxian fell down once, and the people who were originally attached to him either hadn't had time yet, or were accepted by Zhu Xu, or they had already ascended to a high position, and they didn't need him now.
Therefore, he didn't want to be downcast again, so he had to find help to fight back as soon as possible.
Feng Zhu saw that His Royal Highness King Hui was holding the fold, his expression was strange, he didn't respond for a long time, he took a step forward, and whispered, "Your Highness, how should the slave and maid reply to this matter?" ”
"Full cooperation!" Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, and said decisively, "If you want someone to give it to you, you want money to give money, he can toss as much as he wants." Tell Zhou Yingqiu to go with Wei Zhongxian if we protect ourselves. ”
Zhu Xu couldn't control him before, so he was worried in every way, but now he is not afraid. First, Zhu Xu has begun to have strength, second, Wei Zhongxian is not Wei Zhongxian in history, and third, Zhu Xu also needs him to muddy the waters, and the court is really not what he wants.
Feng Zhu didn't know what His Royal Highness King Hui's expression meant, so he still agreed and bowed out.
Knock knock
Suddenly, there was a dense banging sound outside.
Zhu Xu was curious, got up and walked outside.
Yao Qingqing came in with a skirt from the outside, and stopped Zhu Xu while wiping the water, "Your Highness, don't go out, it's hailing." ”
Zhu Xu was stunned, there has been a drought in the past few years, there has been less rain, and there has been even less hail.
For the first time in his memory, I'm afraid.
"Okay, move the coffee table to the door, let's enjoy the hail." Zhu Xu became interested, rolled up his sleeves and smiled at Yao Qingqing.
Yao Qingqing also pursed his lips and smiled, and went into the house to move the coffee table.
Zhu Xu and Yao Qingqing sat side by side, he held a fan and fanned, watching the hail pieces fall on the ground, with a sense of rhythm in his ears, his hands on his thighs, beating indiscriminately.
Yao Qingqing was fiddling with the coffee table, tossing herbal tea back and forth, and said with a soft smile: "Your Highness, you seem to be in a particularly good mood today?" ”
Zhu Xu had always had a smile on his face, and when he heard this, he glanced at her and said, "Sister Qingqing, I think the good thing between you and the surname Bi is estimated to be about to be completed." ”
Zhu Xu really didn't dare to compliment Bi Maokang emotionally, so he always replaced it with 'surnamed Bi' in the palace.
Yao Qingqing's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said quietly: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this matter, I have a sense of proportion." ”
Zhu Xu didn't say much, looking at the hail in the sky, with a mysterious smile on his face.
The emperor shelved the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, and did not mean that the courtiers would stop there.
At this moment, a group of people gathered in Zhou Jianzong's mansion, righteously denouncing Wei Zhongxian.
Han Lin Xiu wrote an article to shock Meng, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said with a deep color, "Everyone, Wei Gelding is making a comeback, we must not bear it, otherwise I will wait for him to be a fish under his knife sooner or later, let him slaughter!" ”
Taifu Temple Shaoqing Man Chaojian also looked angry, patted the table and said: "Yes, Wei Zhongxian is full of evil deeds, how many colleagues have been forced to resign, how many have been cut and copied, we must not sit idly by!" ”
Zhou Jianzong knocked Wei Zhongxian down before, and then he faintly had the momentum of a leader of the officials, and he was also angry, the previous two times, he tried his best to defeat Wei Zhongxian, if he made a comeback, I am afraid it will not take long to liquidate him.
Zhou Jianzong's face turned blue and looked up at the hail that fell outside, his heart moved violently, he turned his head to look at everyone, and said with a gloomy face, "Everyone, this hail, isn't it the right time to come?" ”
Wen Zhenmeng and the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, and they didn't know why.
The corners of Zhou Jianyu's eyes twitched slightly, and he sneered: "This hail is out of time, it must be caused by Wei Zhongxian's slander and evil deeds!" ”
When Wen Zhenmeng and Man Chao recommended this, their eyes also moved, and they suddenly continued: "Brother Zhou is right, people have evil deeds, and the sky will show it, we will go up the book today, let everyone know, and we will definitely put Wei Zhongxian in prison for punishment!" ”
As soon as the three of them were combined, they immediately splashed ink with their pens, prepared an excerpt, and published the book.
If you publish the book publicly, it means that everyone will know about it, just like the newspaper, and tell the world clearly.
As soon as the excerpt came out, Wei Zhongxian was furious, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he went straight to the palace and came to Zhang Yanyao's Xian'an Palace.
Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youxiao are no longer what they used to be, without the help of the Hakka family, his influence on Zhu Youxiao is not as good as before, and he can only influence the emperor through Zhang Yanyao.
Wei Zhongxian discussed with Zhang Yanyao, and Zhang Yanyao nodded softly and went to Jingyang Palace.
Zhu Youxiao also saw the fold of Zhou Jianzong and others at this moment, and looked at this fold, his brows furrowed.
He was also shaken in his heart, this hail is indeed out of place, could it be that it is really related to Wei Zhongxian? He's a calamity?
Zhang Yanyao had a privilege similar to that of the Hakka family, and came to Zhu Youxiao's side without notice, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are tired, drink some sour plum soup to relieve the heat." ”
Zhu Youxiao knew the relationship between Zhang Yanyao and Wei Zhongxian, laughed, then took the soup bowl, took a sip gently, and intuitively felt that there was a few less stuffiness in his chest, and then took the fold to Zhang Yanyao and said: "Look at it, they are all impeached against Wei Qing." ”
Zhang Yanyao's expression did not move, she picked it up and looked at it a few times, but her brows furrowed.
When Zhu Youxiao saw it, he said, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
Zhang Yanyao pursed her lips, looked at Zhu Youxiao and said softly: "Your Majesty, uncle, he is just a eunuch, where is the ability, let the heavens warn, these people, I'm afraid they mean something else." ”
Zhu Youxiao's face changed after hearing this, Zhang Yanyao's words are too right, since Dong Zhongshu in the Han Dynasty, they have all paid attention to the unity of heaven and man, and the warning of heaven and man is not to warn a eunuch, but, the Son of Heaven!
It's his emperor Zhu Youxiao!
Zhu Youxiao's face was gloomy, and the eunuchs below were also as quiet as cicadas.
This kind of thing depends on the emperor's intentions, if it is serious, it is a matter of one sentence to raid the family and exterminate the clan.
Liu Shimin watched below, his brows furrowed, he was in a trance, as if everything had returned to the beginning of the apocalypse, he remembered that Mrs. Fengsheng was also so soft-spoken and spoke to the emperor quietly at first.
Inside and outside the palace, I don't know how many people raided their homes and exterminated their families, and their heads fell to the ground.
"Liu Shimin!" Zhu Youxiao stood up violently and shouted: "Zhou Jianzong, Wen Zhenmeng, the Manchu Dynasty recommends that you immediately remove all official positions and be imprisoned for strict trial!" ”
Liu Shimin was shocked for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Obey the order." ”
These three people are not simple, one is a benchmark figure of the official, one is a Hanlin editor, and the other is the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, not to mention how many colleagues they have made, just in terms of prestige, they let more than a hundred guarantors inside and outside the court fly into the imperial study.
Zhu Youxiao naturally ignored it, and the ministers in the capital city joined together one after another, trying to argue on the basis of reason in the court discussion, so that the emperor could take back his order and uphold justice.
Zhu Xu has been paying attention to Wei Zhongxian's movements, and even the enemies with him are also paying attention.
Looking at this plausible, familiar and unfamiliar scene, he sighed with emotion in his heart, this group of Qingliu probably still didn't realize that Wei Zhongxian was different from Wang Zhen and Yan Song, he was the one with the greatest influence and destructive power in the Ming Dynasty!
He is also the one who kills the most!
Sure enough, on the second day of the court meeting, a group of ministers wanted to protect these three people.
Whether it is the first assistant Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the ministry, Wang Ji and others, they all made generous statements, bluntly saying that the three of them were direct ministers, and Wei Zhongxian was full of evil, so he should be interrogated in prison.
The emperor should distinguish between right and wrong, punish adultery and eliminate evil, and must not approach villains and evil gentlemen.
Zhu Youxiao was furious, in his heart, these ministers were ostensibly going at Wei Zhongxian, but they were actually going at him.
In a fit of rage, he punished four third-grade officers, but in the end, he could only dismiss Zhou Jianzong and take away the three of them, and it was difficult to deal with them more.
When Zhu Xu heard this result in Jinghuan Palace, he shook his head helplessly.
The emperors of the Zhu family, except for the first Taizu, Chengzu and the last Sizong, the others are not very murderous, Zhu Youxiao himself does not like to kill, but he was really angered this time, these ministers actually dared to accuse him of being stupid and incompetent so blatantly, so that the heavens and men warned, but the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all in unison, and they spoke in unison, and the law did not blame the public, so that he was powerless to fight.
However, such anger will eventually be added to the trust in Wei Zhongxian.
The more the courtiers persecuted him, the more he felt that the courtiers were targeting him, and at the same time, the more he trusted Wei Zhongxian.
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian was also relieved, but he hated these Qingliu even more.
Wei Zhongxian's mansion outside the palace.
Li Yongzhen, Liu Chao and other eunuchs gathered, and they were all full of smiles. They had all been exiled before, but this time they were recalled by Wei Zhongxian.
Liu Chao looked at Wei Zhongxian and said happily, "Father-in-law, this time we really took a breath!" ”
Everyone else also agreed, this time, it was indeed their hard-won victory, the first few times, especially Zhou Jianzong's two books, knocked them to the bottom, almost couldn't turn over, now I feel chills when I think about it!
Wei Zhongxian sat there with a calm expression, he knew very well in his heart that the reason why he succeeded this time was because the person in the palace watched from the wall and did not interfere.
He glanced at the noisy crowd, coughed, and waited until they were all quiet before saying, "We have three things now, the first thing is to let the emperor see our loyalty, and the second thing is that the supervision of mines, the army, and taxes in various places must be in our hands." The third piece, make money! ”
When everyone heard this, especially the last one, they were overjoyed, and like a kettle, they kept talking about all kinds of methods.
Wei Zhongxian listened and wrote down that he was now the commander of Dongchang, and there was no shortage of manpower, and the emperor was very concerned about the military situation of the Nine Sides, and he also wanted to increase his internal funds, which just gave him an excuse.
He didn't mention how to deal with the Qingliu in the court, especially the Donglin Party, in fact, at this moment, he didn't have the idea of dealing with the Donglin Party and completely killing and crippling the Donglin Party.
