Volume 4 Chapter 22 Ghosts in the Capital (Part II)
When Zhang Bin was still hesitating, someone had already made a move.
This person is Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, but he did not shoot at Huang Chenghao, but against Yuan Chonghuan.
Wang Yongguang, a native of Dongming, Shandong, was a jinshi in the 20th year of Wanli, and his service experience in the Wanli Dynasty was unremarkable, but he suddenly jumped up during the Apocalypse.
Wanli 20 years of Jinshi, he mixed to Wanli 48 years, a full 28 years, before becoming a southern capital Dali Temple, this southern capital in addition to the household and military department, the rest are pure mixed eating and waiting for death of the pension yamen, he mixed to the southern capital Dali Siqing, the official career is basically over, just waiting to sue the 3 old people to return home.
However, at the beginning of the Apocalypse, he was suddenly promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, and later changed to the right capital of the imperial history, and soon he was promoted to the Ministry of Industry, and then changed to the Ministry of Household Books, the fifth year of the Apocalypse and the Prince Taibao, and the sixth year of the Apocalypse, he was transferred to the Southern Capital Military Department.
There are historical books that say: From time to time, Cui Chengxiu was appointed as the secretary of the military department in charge of the northern soldiers, and Wang Yongguang was appointed as the secretary of the military department of the southern capital to be in charge of the southern soldiers, and since then the soldiers and horses in the world have been under the control of Wei Zhongxian.
Such an important figure in the eunuch party, in the second year of Chongzhen, he was condemned to the eunuch party, and he was not a eunuch!
Why?
Chongzhen thought that he was very smart, and took advantage of the internal contradictions of the eunuch party to provoke the eunuch party to fight each other, let the Qichu and Zhejiang parties in the eunuch party attack each other, let them bite wildly, and then promoted the relics of Donglin to clean up the eunuch party, and finally threw a few old men in Donglin, and from then on the court was under control.
He takes it for granted too much, how can everything be as good as he wants, even if he is the emperor, many people will not be as he wants.
First of all, the Qichu and Zhejiang Party will not be as he wants, the Qichu and Zhejiang Party are crazy on the surface, but in fact, they are very measured, or very tacit.
They cooperated very tacitly, "biting indiscriminately", and biting to death all the non-Qichu Zhejiang party members in the eunuch party, but they themselves had nothing to do.
Of course, this itself is nothing at all, it doesn't mean that a member of the Qichuzhejiang Party is fine, Chongzhen is not a fool, you bite everyone else down, and none of your own people are fine, doesn't this make it clear that you are eliminating dissidents?
It's very simple to fool Chongzhen, throw out a few scum of the Qi Chu Zhejiang Party who provoke the anger of the heavens, pounce on them and bite them to death, showing Chongzhen that they are "biting indiscriminately", in fact, they are cleaning up the portal!
Chongzhen wants to use the battle-hardened party masters such as the Qichu Zhejiang Party, but he can only be said to be too naΓ―ve, and others use him almost the same.
Then, the Donglin Party will not be as he wants, not that the Donglin Party does not listen to him, the main thing is that there are problems with these Donglin remnants appointed by him.
Han Yi, Sun Chengzong, Qian Longxi, and Cheng Jiming are all well-known moderates, who are good people and soft-hearted, but if they don't sound good, they are kind and indecisive.
Like at the beginning of the Apocalypse, Han Yi served as the first assistant of the cabinet, holding the power of the court, Sun Chengzong supervising Ji Liao, holding an army of 200,000, if they are resolute, stand up and fight with Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian can clean up the Donglin Party.
As a result, Han Yi and Sun Chengzong's women were benevolent and indecisive, and they did not make any counterattack against Wei Zhongxian's shameless tricks such as overbearing edicts and false accusations, and soon, he was forced to resign!
As soon as the power of the court and the military power were handed over, Wei Zhongxian's killing of other Donglin parties was as simple as killing chickens.
Perhaps, it was for this reason that Wei Zhongxian did not kill them.
Because such a person, even if he is in power, there is no threat.
It can be said that Chongzhen put Han Yi in charge of the rebellion of the eunuch party, which is simply to kill people with a knife made of tofu!
At the beginning, Han Yi was forward-looking and indecisive, and the eunuchs of the Manchu Dynasty were full of eunuchs, and the list he handed in was only more than 40.
In this way, Chongzhen was naturally not satisfied, and came again.
He hesitated, thought about it, handed over a list of two hundred and fifty-two people, and specially divided it into several categories, indicating that only the first evil will be punished, and the others will just educate them!
In this way, Chongzhen is still not satisfied, come again.
If it really comes back again and again, with Chongzhen, a "ruthless man", staring at the back, this eunuch will be cleaned up sooner or later.
Unfortunately, they didn't get a chance to come back.
Chongzhen is a fool when he is a person, people are not stupid, so you have to do it like this.
You want us to stretch our necks and wait for you to cut it, dream!
It was at this time that Wang Yongguang, the boss of the Qi Party, made a move,
Because he can't do it if he doesn't make a move, if Han Yi picks and picks the rope, he will be condemned as a eunuch.
So, he played the banner of avenging the Duke of Wei, gathered the remnants of the eunuch party, and began to attack frantically - Yuan Chonghuan!
Why Yuan Chonghuan?
Yuan Chonghuan is not a Donglin party, is it useful to attack him wildly?
It is useful, Gonggong Wei used this trick, Gonggong Wei used Xiong Tingbi case to implicate the Donglin Party, and almost killed the Donglin Party up and down.
Xiong Tingbi is the backbone of the Chu Party and can be used to implicate the Donglin Party, not to mention that Yuan Chonghuan, a person who is originally related to the Donglin Party!
So, when Huang Taiji was still eyeing Nanyuan, a big drama of infighting in the Ming Dynasty came on again.
Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, threw out a letter of repel and impeached Qian Longxi, the second assistant of the cabinet, for colluding with Yuan Chonghuan to build slaves and plotting against him!
Immediately afterwards, the Imperial Procuratorate supervised the imperial history Yuan Hongxun, Shi Zhen, Gao Jie, etc., who were let go by the benevolence of Han Yi's wife and were not listed in the reverse case, and the remnants of the eunuch party played one after another, impeaching Yuan Chonghuan, impeaching Qian Longxi, and impeaching Han Yi, saying that they colluded with each other to lead Jiannu into the customs in a vain attempt to subvert the Ming Dynasty!
Does anyone believe such a ridiculous thing?
Naturally, onlookers don't believe it, what's the joke?
Han Yi and Qian Longxi, a gentle and humble gentleman, colluded with the barbaric and murderous Jiannu? Is it possible, the people of their two worlds are good!
Besides, the two of them, one cabinet chief assistant and one cabinet second assistant, are extremely popular ministers, what are they trying to do? Could it be that Jiannu destroyed the Ming Dynasty and invited them to be emperors!
However, Chongzhen, who was in the game, was fooled.
Because Yuan Chonghuan's resurrection was recommended by Qian Longxi, this was originally nothing, your emperor asked the cabinet assistant, I want to find someone to be the governor of Jiliao, who do you think is suitable?
Qian Longxi must have said that Yuan Chonghuan is suitable, Daming has fought with Jiannu for more than ten years, and Yuan Chonghuan has won two big victories, he is not suitable, who is suitable?
Chongzhen didn't know what he thought, he actually believed this kind of nonsense, and directly sentenced Qian Longxi to death!
As for Han Yi, the is even more outrageous, just because in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, when Yuan Chonghuan was a Jinshi, Han Yi was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Dongge, and he nominally presided over the examination, so he was Yuan Chonghuan's teacher!
This, theoretically, there is such a saying, whoever presides over the examination, the jinshi of that session must be called his teacher, and the host of the question refers to the examiner.
In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Han Yi was only in name, because he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and this examination was under the control of the Ministry of Rites, so he presided over it by name, but he was not the chief examiner, and Yuan Chonghuan was not his "student"
For such a far-fetched reason, Chongzhen also believed it, Han Yi, you have no way to teach, so take the blame and resign.
Han Yi was helpless, and he complained of illness three times, and resigned.
Then, the Qichu and Zhejiang Party began to implicate Sun Chengzong and implicate Cheng Ji, and these Donglin remnants resigned one after another.
The government was in turmoil, Chongzhen gradually forgot to clean up the eunuch party, the remnants of the eunuch party jumped out one after another, frantically fighting for control of the cabinet, after countless fierce battles, Chongzhen four years, Zhejiang party boss Wen Tiren served as the first assistant of the cabinet, this infighting drama came to a complete end.
Of course, this is what happened in that period of history that Zhang Bin did not come from.
At this time, Zhang Bin is here, and he is trying to find a way to rescue Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Yongguang and others want to conspire to use Yuan Chonghuan to create a big case, wipe out the Donglin Party, suspend Chongzhen's purge of the eunuch party, and then hold the power of the court, can they get their wish?
At about midnight that morning, Zhang Bin was sitting in the study of the Nancheng Terracotta Division, frowning and pondering at Wang Dayong's confession, when Xie Zhenggang's voice suddenly came from outside: "My lord, someone asks to see you." β
This person roughly refers to the Jinyi guard under Luo Yangxing, because Chongzhen doesn't like to have too close contacts with courtiers, so Luo Yangxing generally won't come to him, and he will come secretly if he wants something, and if he can't leave, he will send his cronies.
At this time, sending someone to find it, there must be something important, Zhang Bin hurriedly said loudly: "Let him come in." β
What came in was a civilian in coarse linen clothes, without any features, and belonged to the kind that could not be found in the pile of embarrassment.
As soon as the man came in, he arched his hand and whispered: "The villain Dong Detective Factory is in charge of the punishment of thousands of households, Luo Wengang, see Lord Zhang." β
Rebar!
This term suddenly popped up in Zhang Bin's mind, and he quickly shook his head and threw the past aside.
The thousands of households in charge of the East Investigation Factory are actually Jinyi Wei Qianhu, but they were transferred to the East Factory to take up a post, it seems that this guy is Cao Huachun's cronies.
Zhang Bin asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" β
Luo Wengang hurriedly took off his belt, took out a piece of letter paper from it, and handed it to him respectfully.
What is it about making such a mystery?
He unfolded the letter and looked at it, but there was no letterhead, and there was no signature at the end, but only some excerpts from the excerpts.
For example, Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, impeached Qian Longxi, the second assistant of the cabinet, for colluding with Yuan Chonghuan to build slaves and plotting against him!
For another example, the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervised the impeachment of Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Qian Longxi, the second assistant of the cabinet, colluded with Yuan Chonghuan to lead Jiannu into the customs, in a vain attempt to subvert the Ming Dynasty!
There are a lot of dense excerpts on the letterhead, and the handwriting is still a little sloppy, but Zhang Bin can see at a glance that this is Cao Huachun's handwriting, that is to say, these are all true, and there are indeed many people who are crazy and attack the first assistant of the cabinet Han Yi and the second assistant of the cabinet Qian Longxi, and they want to confirm Yuan Chonghuan's crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason!
Zhang Bin saw it, slapped the table angrily and scolded: "A group of beasts, Jiannu have all come to the capital, and they are still fighting for power and profit here!" β
These people, in their careful eyes, have no country, no Ming Dynasty, only their own interests, no matter what the Ming Dynasty looks like, no matter how the country is in danger, as long as they seize the opportunity, they want to exclude dissidents and control the power of the court.
Like the Southern Ming Dynasty is an obvious example, at that time, the Ming Dynasty was about to die, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng also wanted to rejuvenate the party prison, take revenge on the Donglin Party and the Restoration Society, and squeeze out Shi Kefa, as a result, Mites Qing easily wiped out the Southern Ming Dynasty covering most of the Ming Dynasty's territory!
With these internal ghosts, Huang Taiji didn't have to do anything, Da Ming himself played himself to death!
Zhang Bin gritted his teeth and said gloomily: "You go to report to Father-in-law Cao, I know, and in addition, let Lord Luo come over at night." β
Luo Wengang was frightened by Zhang Bin's series of reactions, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The little one obeys the order." β
With that, he hurriedly saluted, turned around and ran away.
At about midnight that night, two black-clothed people appeared outside the wall of the Nancheng Terracotta Division, and these two people were naturally Luo Yang and Qi Panzong.
At this time, Luo Yangxing was already a little skilled, he quickly climbed over the wall with the assistance of Qi Panzong, bent his waist, sneakily passed through the area patrolled by ordinary Beijing camp soldiers on the periphery, and then climbed into the courtyard where Zhang Bin was located with the assistance of Qi Panzong, and then climbed directly to the window of the study, and was about to jump in, but when he accidentally looked up, he instantly entered the room with a fight.
What's the matter, just now he was quite sharp, but at the last time, he planted a big fight, Qi Panzong hurriedly flew in, helped him up, and said with concern: "My lord, are you okay?" β
Luo Yangxing didn't dare to breathe at this time, and he didn't dare to say anything, but secretly glanced at the desk and motioned to Qi Panzong to look at it himself.
Qi Panzong looked up at the desk, and he was also trembling with fright, and almost threw out Luo Yangxing, who was holding in his hand.
At this moment, Zhang Bin was pinching the handle of the chair, sitting there with a gloomy face, staring at the window where they came in, like a beast that chooses people and devours them.
Who provoked the Governor, this expression is simply terrifying!
Just when the two of them didn't know what to do, Zhang Bin suddenly said gloomily: "Tairu, go find a hidden place, arrest Huang Chenghao, and ask for the kind where there is no one around, if you accidentally kill it, you can destroy the corpse." β
When Luo Yangxing heard this, he was taken aback.
What is Zhang Bin trying to do, privately arresting the fourth rank of the imperial court, and accidentally killing him, this means, I'm afraid that the guy who wants to get it is better to die than to die.
He took off his mask, swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "Shuangquan, this is not a joke, Huang Chenghao is a member of the fourth rank of the imperial court, and he is being appreciated by the emperor, what if we do this, what if the emperor is angry?" β
Zhang Bin still said gloomily: "The fourth rank of the imperial court, hmph, Gonggong Wei even killed a lot of the third grade, the second grade, and even the first rank of the imperial court, and the first rank like killing chickens, and the emperor didn't praise him vigorously at that time." What are you afraid of, as long as we don't say it, who knows that we did it? Tairu, didn't I say you, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, don't be afraid of this and that, you look at the people's fields, no matter how big an official you are, pinch it in your hand and want to fix it, is he afraid? β
Luo Yang was speechless, it seems that this is the truth, who is the commander of Jinyiwei afraid of, I am only afraid of the governor of Dongchang, the court officials, even if you are a product, you will be killed if you pinch it in your hand, you will be killed, you are afraid of a fart!
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, when will you catch it, you say." β
Zhang Bin nodded, and continued to say gloomily: "That's right, if you want to make a big deal, don't be informal, go now, arrest the traitor Huang Chenghao, in addition, send someone to keep an eye on Li Guangchun and Wang Jikui, if you accidentally kill Huang Chenghao and catch them to continue, I don't believe that these three people are all copper skin and iron bones, iron teeth and copper teeth." By the way, prepare more sharp and small things such as nails, steel needles, and bamboo sticks, and then prepare bags of salt, and I want them to experience the methods of Gonggong Wei. β
Speaking of Gonggong Wei's methods, Luo Yangxing's face changed with fright, big brother, can you not play like this, it's too cruel to make a big living person into a skeleton.
Seeing his cowering appearance, Zhang Bin couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "Don't hurry up, when they collapse the Ming Dynasty, you, the commander of the brocade guard, are not even as good as a dog!" β
