Chapter 334: Fermentation
There was nothing to say all the way, Ye Xun learned about the accident of the Donglin Party as soon as he returned to the capital.
Unexpectedly, and unexpectedly, the Donglin Party's concept of governing the country is completely different from Wei Zhongxian's, not to mention, the Donglin Party has always wanted to dominate the DPRK and China.
Although I know that these people are not heinous people, but the political struggle is like this, there is no mercy at all, and Ye Xun will not participate in this matter in public or private.
However, through this incident, Ye Xun noticed Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Youzhen in another time and space.
In terms of time, Zhu Youzhen was just nine years old, and he would have suffered a lot when he was born, but with Zhu Youxiao's succession, his life has been much better.
Because he was too young, he still lived in the palace and was raised by Zhu Changluo's other concubine.
I don't know how Yang Lian would mention him? Could it be that this little guy is also a demon, and he is not willing to hide behind the scenes?
Ye Xun quickly denied this idea, Zhu Youxiao is not very old, and he didn't make any big mistakes, and he couldn't pick up Zhu Youzhen's ambitions, the only one who still had thoughts about the big position could only be the blessed king Zhu Changxun.
Zhu Changluo is dead, and Zhu Youxiao is not very popular with officials, no wonder this guy jumped out again.
There is news that this guy doesn't seem to be very honest in the Luoyang fiefdom, and he has won over local civil and military officials and private samurai, and these and those are poked out, which is enough for him to drink a pot.
Ye Xun believes that with Zhu Youxiao's character, after discovering that his uncle is hooking up with officials in the capital, he will definitely take action against this uncle, so he doesn't need to worry about this matter, what he has to worry about now is the approaching marriage date of Zhu Youxiao and Baozhu.
In ancient times, there were many particularities in weddings and funerals, such as Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Naji, Nazheng, inviting dates, welcoming relatives, etc., although the emperor was married, but the customs were similar to ordinary people, and the difference was just a scene.
Now that the first five items have been completed, the last item is just around the corner, and there are still three days before October 18, so it can be said that Ye Xun rushed back at the right time.
Although no one has ever said it, Ye Xun himself knows that he is actually a more contradictory person, especially in the matter of dealing with the treasure bead, if he was resolute and tough enough at the beginning, it is estimated that there would not be this series of things later.
But there are no ifs in life, only results and consequences.
Ye Xun entered the palace the next day, but he didn't see Zhu Youxiao, but went to the Internal Affairs Mansion to ask what he should do on the day of the wedding, and he didn't even see Wei Zhongxian.
Of course, this is all superficial for others to see, although Wei Zhongxian is unwilling, but Ye Xun will at least not show that he is very close to him on the surface, otherwise it will be difficult to find an excuse to clean up Wei Zhongxian in the future.
In the past two days, many people came to ask for a meeting, but they were all sent back by Ye Xun for various reasons, he knew that the people who were looking for him were certainly looking for opportunities, and there were also many people who begged him to save people, since they decided to put it out of the way, they simply didn't see anyone.
On the evening of October 16, Ye Xun finally met a visitor, who was the one whose son was abducted by Ye Xun.
Li Zhiwen didn't want to come, but there were too many people who came to beg him, and because of the face of several old friends, he found Ye Xun.
After inviting Li Chengwen into the study to serve tea, Ye Xun smiled and said, "I don't know what happened to Master Li?" ”
Li was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Ye Xun was talking about the issuance of coins, strictly speaking, he very much agreed with Ye Xun's move, if this matter was by the abbot of the household department, he would definitely support it, but if it was Ye Xun to do it, he couldn't help but think about it.
Lao Li was also direct enough, and said, "You want to use this matter as a condition for talking to me?" ”
"Huh! I like people like Lord Li who are so direct, as far as I know, usually Lord Li doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Donglin Party, so why do you want to stand up for them now? ”
"You are wrong, the old man is not here for them, but for the court, Liu Yijing, Han Kuang, Zhou Jiamo and others, which one is not an important minister in the court? Isn't it a bit too childish to take people without any inquiry and without conclusive evidence? Besides, it was not Dali Temple or the Criminal Department Prison that imprisoned them, but Dongchang Prison, what did Wei Zhongxian want to do? ”
Not to mention, Li Beiwen's words really hit the point, Wei Zhongxian arrested people without going through Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and put the prisoners in Dongchang Imperial Prison, saying that it is called abuse of lynching, and at worst, it is provoking the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
If this situation continues, what will the national legal department do? If there is something to do, the officials will inevitably be in danger, so are they still in the mood to deal with government affairs?
It can be said that Ye Xun did not understand the harm and consequences caused by this incident.
After pondering for a long time, he said: "I can try to find Wei Zhongxian, but there is one thing, these people's official positions will definitely not be kept."
Li Zhiwen also thought of this result, because the will to arrest people was given by Zhu Youxiao, and the crime was rebellion, this big hat was buttoned down, it would be good to be able to live, and he wanted to be an official again? I haven't woken up yet!
Although there is news that none of these people who were arrested admitted to the crime, everyone knows the methods of the factory guards, and if anyone can't bear the torture and says something, then let alone want to save people.
After Li waited for Ye Xun's affirmative answer, he left satisfied, he believed that as long as Ye Xun made a move, this matter would definitely be done.
It's a pity that Li Chengwen still underestimated Ye Xun, this incident did affect the operation of the imperial court, but what does that have to do with Ye Xun? There are many people in the court, Fang Congzhe alone stood up as the center of the Ming Dynasty, is there a lack of these people, and the court will be suspended?
Therefore, Ye Xun will definitely not go to Wei Zhongxian, but since he has already promised Li to ask, he must do something, otherwise he will be embarrassed.
After pondering for a long time, Ye Xun took up the pen and wrote an order, and then called in the guards and ordered him to send it to Hu Jiucheng as quickly as possible.
After the guards bowed down and took the order to leave, Ye Xun stood in front of the window, looking at the stars in the sky, and a mocking smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
Early the next morning, the people of the capital who got up early were stunned to find that a large number of scholars came from the direction of the student prison and Taixue, and the scholars were very quiet, but there was a long banner in front of the scholars.
"Release innocent officials and severely punish Wei traitors"
In the past, the scholars shouted the most about severely punishing traitors, but now they are more direct, and they directly wrote a banner that hit Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian did a lot of good things in the capital during this time, selling his official beard, expropriating tyranny, conniving at the factory guards to crack down on dissidents, deceiving the saints, etc., it can really be said that he was full of evil, and the people of the capital had long hated him.
Now that the scholars are taking the lead, the anger that the people have suppressed in their hearts has finally exploded, and the people spontaneously follow the scholars and march towards the palace, and in a short period of time, the number of people has exceeded 20,000, and it continues to increase...
