Chapter 1 O 5: A Fatal Blow from the Son of Heaven (Asking for Votes, Asking for Collections)
In the face of the almost unanimous trend of the Ming literati against Wei, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Replace Wei Zhongxian?
No, the Emperor of the Apocalypse shook his head helplessly.
He remembered the fiasco of Liaodong, the financial embarrassment of the imperial court, and the helplessness of the Donglin party in the face of the court situation when Donglin was in power.
Thinking of Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao thought of Sun Chengzong, who was guarding the border in Liaodong.
Sun Shi can be regarded as a member of the Donglin Party, right?
People who are also from the Donglin Party, why is there such a big gap in life?
Thinking that the teacher in his 60s was still guarding the border for him in the bitter cold of Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao hesitated.
Before the teacher left Beijing, the story of Zeng Shen's murder that he told came to his heart again.
Trust, trust!
Zhu Youxiao made up his mind.
"I'm sorry, teacher." Zhu Youxiao said softly.
November 11, the fourth year of the Apocalypse
The Emperor of the Apocalypse personally signed an edict, added Sun Chengzong to the title of prince and teacher, personally gave a large amount of property, and sent a special person to Liaodong to proclaim the decree of the labor army.
After the departure of the labor army, the Emperor of the Apocalypse once again issued an edict in person, denouncing Donglin Academy as a place to hide filth and dirt, and strictly ordered it to be demolished.
The world was shocked.
Da Ming was silent.
The Son of Heaven personally dealt a fatal blow to the Donglin Party.
Wei Zhongxian won the bet again.
With the support of the edict issued by the Son of Heaven, under the strict orders of the cabinet and the court controlled by the eunuch party, Donglin Academy was quickly demolished.
In this environment, although the Donglin Party people in various places still insist on shouting, they can obviously show a declining trend, and it has really become the song of the autumn cicada.
Beijing, Wei Zhongxian's private residence
"It's a pity that I still couldn't get the account book of Donglin Academy." Wei Zhongxian said regretfully.
Donglin Academy has been demolished, and it is almost closed, and there is no account book, so it is impossible to completely solve the Donglin Party this year, which is really a pity.
"Dugong, that Zhou Shunchang has been escorted to the capital, and Zhou Qiyuan is almost here. How to deal with it, you have to get a charter. Cui Chengxiu asked excitedly.
Can you not be excited?
Such a huge Donglin Party, I didn't expect it to be just a paper tiger, and it fell down with a light push.
Gao Panlong, a big man with such a high status, committed suicide when he said he committed suicide.
Even Gao Panlong's counterattack in exchange for his life disappeared under His Majesty's gentle promise.
The Donglin Party is really going to end this time.
"Zhou Shunchang?" Wei Zhongxian had a disgusted expression on his face, "Let the factory kill his prestige first, and then carefully interrogate him about instigating civil unrest." ”
"Instigating civil unrest? Governor, I'm afraid this crime is not appropriate. Feng Quan stopped Wei Zhongxian's words. In Wei Zhongxian's private residence, he now speaks more casually.
"Oh?" Wei Zhongxian stopped, he was waiting for Feng Quan's explanation.
"I really want to ask what is the inside story of instigating civil unrest. Governor, do you care or not? Feng Quan explained with a relaxed face.
"Oh, what do you say?" Wei Zhongxian was very satisfied with Feng Quan's explanation.
Xiao Feng is right.
If you really want to ask something, it's really difficult for the miscellaneous family to do it.
"Governor, just use the charge of corruption." Cui Chengxiu hurriedly said.
Zhou Qiyuan will go to Beijing soon, and he has a close relationship with Zhou Shunchang. Zhou Qiyuan embezzled 100,000 yuan, and the evidence is conclusive and irrefutable. ”
"Seconds." Feng Quan clapped his hands and applauded, what Cui Chengxiu said was exactly what he thought.
Zhou Qiyuan's 100,000 taels of silver should have been given to Gao Panlong. Gao Panlong is dead now, and the money is not clear at all. It is used as a crime of climbing.
"Governor" Feng Quan bowed deeply to Wei Zhongxian, "Didn't the Governor think the Donglin Party was noisy?" I took this opportunity to bring in the happiest ones in one fell swoop. Look at them, who dares to call again? ”
Wei Zhongxian's eyebrows raised, and he habitually touched his bare chin.
This Xiao Feng's heart is really ruthless, he has to be involved in Miao Changqi.
Also, Miao Changqi really bullied him too much in those years, and he had to think of revenge when he became a miscellaneous family.
As for those Donglin sours who are really noisy and annoying, just rely on Xiao Feng.
He should be rewarded.
This Xiao Feng is really good and worth cultivating.
Wei Zhongxian made a decision very simply.
"Let's do it."
Wei Zhongxian picked up the teacup and took a sip very comfortably.
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Cui, you do things well, if you have any wishes, the miscellaneous family will give you a round."
The tone is very big, and Grandpa Wei really has this confidence now.
In the court situation, since the Emperor of the Apocalypse spoke, the form has been very good, and Wei Zhongxian can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At the end of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party was destined to have a bad year.
Miao Changqi, Li Yingsheng, Zhou Zongjian, and Huang Zunsu, who were the most noisy people in various places, were successively arrested by Dongchang on suspicion of the Zhou Qiyuan case, and the rest of the Donglin Party became silent and silent.
This political drama of the Ming Dynasty began in July of the year, when Yang Lian impeached Wei Zhongxian again, and ended at the end of the year when Miao Changqi and others were imprisoned, and it took more than half a year.
Among them, people from all walks of life took turns to play, and almost all the forces of the Ming Dynasty showed their faces.
The process is even more twists and turns.
After half a year of brutal fighting, it finally ended with the complete defeat of the Donglin Party.
Looking at the battle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, in Zhu Youzhen's view, it can really be described as a dog-eat-dog fight.
The struggle between the two sides is neither orderly nor meaningless.
In battle
The relatively incorruptible Donglin Party held high the banner of morality, but still provoked the battle with personal moral defects and imaginary things that had not yet happened (Wei Zhongxian might rebel).
However, the Eunuch Party, which is rife with corruption, raised the banner of anti-corruption and attacked the Donglin Party with a heavy backhand.
The respective positions of the two sides of the fight and the banners held high are really a little laughable.
Who would have thought that the relatively incorruptible Donglin Party would really be accused of corruption.
But the eunuchs, who have real evidence, are unable to deal with corruption cases, and even almost capsize.
The final victory or defeat of the two sides is still determined by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
As the arbiter of the dispute between the two sides, the final decision made by the Emperor of the Apocalypse was undoubtedly out of responsibility for the Ming Dynasty.
But this final verdict that was responsible for the Ming Dynasty was more useful to the Ming Dynasty, and finally ruled that the eunuch party with widespread corruption was victorious.
The relatively incorruptible Donglin Party is not as useful to the Ming as the Eunuch Party.
It's really the biggest and funniest joke in the world.
This is also the sorrow of Daming's pain into the bone marrow.
watched the play for more than half a year, and experienced it in person, Zhu Youzhen was really tired.
After watching such a big drama with a serious dislocation of relationships, if there is no memory of his previous life, I am afraid that Zhu Youzhen's worldview will collapse.
This was the current state of the last dynasty of the Han Chinese.
Luckily, I still have it.
Zhu Youzhen looked at the Eastern Han Dynasty fighting ship formed in his hand, and shouted loudly as if venting: "God." ”
"God is there for you." It's still the same familiar voice that hasn't changed.
For some reason, hearing this voice in his head, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel like he was going to cry.
Sniffling, Zhu Youzhen asked in his mind: "Is the Eastern Han Dynasty fighting ship qualified?" After redeeming my points, how many points do I have? ”
"Qualified." God replied calmly.
"It can be redeemed. After redemption, the host points are 6080 points. If the host meets the upgrade requirements, will it be upgraded? ”
Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath.
"Upgrade." He said in a decisive voice.
"As you wish." God responded calmly.
