Zhang Bin heard about Wan Xian, the Qing official of the Ministry of Works, who was killed by a cane, but he was shocked that Wei Zhongxian dared to embezzle the emperor's money to build a mausoleum for himself, but he was not frightened by Wei Zhongxian's ferocity.

Because he knew that Wei Zhongxian was much more cruel to the Donglin Party than this, and he didn't plan to help the Donglin Party fight him, so he didn't have to be afraid of him.

But what is going on with Sun Chuanting, could it be that he was frightened by Wei Zhongxian's ferocity, and he resigned for fear of being killed with a rod like Wan Liao?

It shouldn't be, Sun Chuanting was a fierce slash when he was in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and this little thing shouldn't scare him.

No, there is another possibility, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Brother Sun, you won't have a lot to do with this Wan Liao, right?" ”

This possibility is there, because these two people are both in the six divisions, and their official positions are the same, so it is normal to make friends.

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting shook his head and said, "No, I just nodded to him." ”

Then what are you afraid of, Zhang Bin couldn't help but look at Sun Chuanting suspiciously.

Seeing his expression, Sun Chuanting had to continue: "I'm afraid you don't know about Lin Ruzhu, right?" ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he said embarrassedly: "This, the little brother really doesn't know." ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head and sighed: "This Lin Ruzhu is the imperial history of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Inspectorate. ”

The Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is equivalent to the sheriff of the capital, and the power is quite large, so it won't be that this thing will also be killed by the rod, right?

Zhang Bin couldn't help but be curious: "He was also killed by a rod?" ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head and said: "Almost, Wei Zhongxian wanted to kill him with a rod, but unfortunately he went to Shuntian Governor Deng Mi to surrender, and the emperor was alarmed later, and the emperor just gave him a hundred rods and cut him to the people, but he escaped death." ”

The magistrate of the capital ran to the governor of Shuntian to turn himself in, what a big deal this is, Zhang Bin couldn't help but be curious: "What did he do?" ”

Sun Chuanting continued to shake his head and said: "He didn't do anything, but someone accused him of the two eunuchs who were doing evil in the capital, and he arrested the two eunuchs and gave them a beating, and then Wei Zhongxian used the topic to play, and he became a chess piece." ”

There is no beginning or end to this matter, Zhang Bin listened to it in the clouds, and he couldn't help asking: "Brother Sun, what is going on, can you tell me in detail." ”

Sun Chuanting sighed: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the two families of the commoner Cao Da and the civilian Niu Chen quarreled for some reason, and Cao Da's wife was so angry that she committed suicide by taking poison." This Cao Da happened to be the brother of the eunuch Cao Jin in the palace, and then Cao Jin and another eunuch Fu Guoxing took more than 20 ruffians and hooligans to break into Niu's house, looted the property of the Niu family, and stabbed Niu Chen with an awl hundreds of times, but Niu Chen was not stabbed to death, and ran to report to the official. ”

Just this matter, what does it matter, Zhang Bin was puzzled: "It's nothing, why did Lin Ruzhu go to the Shuntian Governor to turn himself in?" ”

Sun Chuanting continued to sigh: "Originally, it was nothing, but the bad thing is that Lord Lin Ruzhu and Lord Ye Xianggao Ye are fellow countrymen, and Lord Ye also takes good care of him. Wei Zhongxian and Ye Xianggao disagreed, so he wanted to disgust Ye Xianggao with this matter, he went directly to the emperor to sue the emperor, saying that Lin Ruzhuo, the imperial historian of the city patrol, beat the eunuchs in the palace for no reason, and the emperor was furious, issued an edict, and scolded Lin Ruzhuo with a hundred strokes, and cut his nationality to the people. Lin Ruzhu was afraid that he would be beaten to death by Wei Zhongxian like Wan Liao, so he fled to the governor of Shuntian and turned himself in. Wei Zhongxian didn't catch anyone, and directly ordered a group of eunuchs to surround Lord Ye's mansion, and couldn't help but say, when he went in, it was a random search, but no one found it, but he was half angry with Lord Ye. Wei Zhongxian also complained that Ye Xianggao connived at his nephew's misdeeds, and instigated his nephew to disobey the holy decree and abscond with the guilt. Lord Ye was humiliated by this, and he really didn't have the face to stay in the court, so he resigned and returned to his hometown. ”

This is indeed a bit excessive, people are the first assistant of the court, you can't help but say that you will search people's homes randomly, and slander him for conniving at his nephew's misdeeds, disobeying the holy decree, absconding with crimes, and slapping his face without such a beating.

However, what does this have to do with Sun Chuanting?

Zhang Bin asked puzzledly, "Brother Sun, are you very familiar with Lord Ye?" ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head and said, "I recognize Lord Ye, but the problem is that Lord Ye doesn't recognize me." ”

Zhang Bin asked even more puzzled: "Could it be that you quit because you can't get used to this thing?" ”

Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly: "How can it, brother is not such an impulsive person, this is not over." ”

Zhang Bin was shocked: "Use this little thing to do a cabinet chief, this is not over!" ”

Sun Chuanting continued to shake his head and sighed: "It's not over, it's still early, do you know Shanxi Governor Xie Yingxiang?" ”

Zhang Bin is not from the Ministry of Officials, how can he know all the officials of the Ming Dynasty well, he replied honestly: "I don't know." ”

Sun Chuanting also asked casually, and then continued to explain: "After Qi left Ye to Lord Gao Ye, Wei Zhongxian pointed the finger at Lord Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Lord Gao Panlong, the left governor of the Imperial Procuratorate, and they took advantage of the matter of promoting Xie Yingxiang, the governor of Shanxi. ”

Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong are both Donglin Party, this Zhang Bin knows, but he doesn't know if this Xie Yingxiang is not, he hurriedly asked: "Xie Yingxiang is Donglin?" ”

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting still shook his head and sighed: "He is not Donglin, it's just that he once served as a county magistrate in Jiashan, Zhejiang, the hometown of Lord Wei in the Imperial Branch, and Lord Wei should be regarded as his student in name." ”

Wei Dazhong is the Donglin Party, and this Zhang Bin also knows, but the relationship between Xie Yingxiang and Wei Dazhong is a bit too far-fetched.

Zhang Bin asked with a wry smile: "Could it be that they use this relationship to make a fuss." ”

This time, Sun Chuanting finally nodded and said: "Yes, when the governor of Shanxi was vacant, all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods bribed everywhere, wanting to win this position, Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the ministry, heard about this, and brushed all the bribe-givers down, and insisted on electing Xie Yingxiang, the stable and honest Taichang Temple, and in the end, Xie Yingxiang stood out and was elected as the governor of Shanxi. ”

Zhang Bin couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean, Lord Zhao and Xie Yingxiang are not familiar with each other?" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded again and said, "Of course, Lord Zhao only learned through the investigation that Xie Yingxiang, the secretary of Taichang Temple, is stable and honest. ”

In this way, you can take down a secretary of the ministry?

Zhang Bin asked in disbelief: "Wei Zhongxian used this matter to impeach Lord Zhao?" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded helplessly and said: "Yes, I don't know how Wei Zhongxian advanced and slandered the emperor, just because of this matter, the emperor directly issued an order to dismiss Lord Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the ministry, Lord Chen Yuting, Lord Chen, the left governor of the Imperial Inspectorate, Lord Gao Panlong, and Lord Wei in the middle of the matter. ”

Zhang Bin was stunned again and said, "Is this okay?" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded with a wry smile and said: "Yes, it's as simple as that, now that the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials are controlled by Wei Zhongxian, he is going to give the Donglin Party a big purge in the next Beijing Inspection, because my brother doesn't want to help the abuse, so he can only resign and return to his hometown." ”

So that's the case, it seems that Sun Chuanting's choice is correct, if he stays and continues to be his official inspector, I am afraid that when the eunuch party is liquidated, he will also be on the list, in that case, the most famous general in the late Ming Dynasty is afraid that he will be clicked in the first year of Chongzhen.
