No. 112 Aftermath (1)

As Eunuch Wu expected, a few days later, after Chen Bangyan's large-scale murder of the squire in Guangxi reached Xingdu, there was a lot of discussion in Xingdu, and some Qingliu dignitaries called Chen Bangyan too fierce and mad. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Qing Yi originally returned to protect the squire, but now Chen Bangyan has added another fire, and Qing Yi is almost on the side of the squire involved, and the situation is getting more and more intense. Many officials have written a recital overnight, demanding that Chen Bangyan be severely punished, and even Zhai Shiyun, Wu Zhenyu and other imperial party officials have gradually been unable to suppress it, and perhaps in their hearts, they do not approve of Chen Bangyan's actions.

At this moment, Zhu Youlang is burying his head in the study, trying to devise a proper strategy.

Chen Bangyan's resoluteness in raising money and food was beyond his expectations, after all, Chen had no practical experience in holding power before, and it is difficult to say whether he would be as clear as he was when he was in politics after becoming a feudal lord. The fierce reaction of the ministers was what he expected.

He knew very well in his heart that the Ming Dynasty had already accumulated many disadvantages in the three hundred years since its founding, even if it was a partial rectification and improvement, as long as it infringed on the interests of the old forces. It will inevitably cause a series of backlashes, and if all the accumulated evils are cleaned up by him personally, the name of the last 'tyrant' will definitely not be able to escape, and it is very likely to cause chaos, and it will break out at the most critical time, and the most direct consequence will be his own downfall. If Daming wants to be prosperous and reborn from the ashes, he must rely on the resolute and sharp ministers, who have the determination and courage to sacrifice their lives and martyrdom, and he can only support them behind the scenes, and do his best to protect them while acting on camera.

Now that Chen Bangyan has done the wicked, what he has to do next is to appease the ministers, calm the court, minimize the impact of this matter, and do a good job in remediating the aftermath.

For those gossip officials in the court who only care about their own selfishness and ignore the general interests of the country, Zhu Youlang originally did not have a good impression, and he was even more disgusted at the moment. Chen Bangyan is sure to keep it, at this moment he is in Guangxi to make every effort to rectify the accumulated shortcomings of the guard, clean up the military fields, and keep Chen Bangyan is equivalent to preserving the fruits of the revolution and his authority, as the eldest brother, if he can't protect his younger brother, which younger brother will dare to give him his life in the future?

Zhu Youlang was vigilantly aware that the key to the success of rectifying the accumulated shortcomings of the guard and raising money and food was at present, and the reform involving the Ming Dynasty system had just begun to encounter a wave of turmoil in which the officials were coercing public opinion, and how to deal with it had a bearing on success or failure, and it was quite difficult to grasp the proportions. This is also a test of whether he, a traverser, can become a qualified monarch, if he does not have the ability to deal with this temporary crisis, Zhongxing Daming will become a complete empty talk, and maybe one day the reform of the unprepared dynasty will be overthrown.

A small eunuch hurriedly ran to the imperial study, came to the door, and handed a name tag in his hand to the imperial eunuch, the imperial eunuch took the name card, turned around and looked at the emperor who was frowning and thinking, for fear of disturbing him, and was hesitating whether to hand it over immediately.

Yang Shouchun, the eunuch who served beside Zhu Youlang, saw it and greeted him, and the eunuch in front of the emperor looked relieved when he saw this, handed the name card in his hand to Yang Shouchun, and whispered a few words.

After Yang Shouchun nodded, he turned around and walked to the emperor's side, and whispered: "Emperor Qi, Lord Wu of the Left Capital Yushi handed over the sign and asked to see." ”

"Mr. Wu? Let him in. As soon as he heard that it was Wu Zhenyu, Zhu Youlang guessed that he must have come for this.

Wu Zhenyu walked in quickly, and after making a regular salute, he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the affairs of Guangxi are boiling in the capital, and the six branch officials and the thirteen imperial historians want to jointly play the blood book, and the ministers are a little unable to suppress it, and please ask Your Majesty to show how to deal with it." ”

"Who are the people who are playing in the Bloody Book?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"The rites are all given to the Jinbao in the matter, Hong Shipeng in the Ministry of Rites, Ding Shikui in the matter are given to the officials, and there are also supervisors of the imperial history Tong Lin, Cheng Yuan, etc."

Zhu Youlang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Of the people Wu Zhenyu pointed out, Zhu Youlang is relatively clear about their resumes, especially Jin Bao and Ding Shikui, who are famous and thunderous.

Jinbao, a native of Renhe (Hangzhou) in Zhejiang, a thirteen-year jinshi in Chongzhen, served as the governor of Linqing Prefecture in Shandong, and served as a member of Like in Longwu. In the Yongli Imperial Court, Ren Like gave things to the matter, and later formed a party with Yuan Pengnian and others, and spared no effort to attack dissidents. For example, in "Refutation of He Wu Su", he denounced He Wusu and Huang Shijun for failing to die during Tong Yangjia's occupation of Guangdong: "Huang Shijun saw his former ministers Zhuang Zhuang in Tong Yu's sitting, and he was the champion for forty-three years, and it was really unfortunate that he did not die early. After coming hand in hand with my donkey, for ****? …… If you kowtow and raise your armor, and your mouth is full of lords, then I will give way to my donkey. The minister scolded him for Emperor Taizu Gao, what kind of decency? "It's really righteous and awe-inspiring, and it has the potential to be out of the sky with all soft bones. However, for Yuan Pengnian, who really surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and took up an official position, Jinbao not only did not say a word, but instead took him as a confidant. The intention is just because He Wufu and Huang Shijun have entered the cabinet as scholars as early as the Chongzhen period, and they must find a topic to make a big fuss and attack it, so that their small group can rest assured that they can seize power. After the loss of Guilin, Jinbao became a monk, but he was not as indifferent as Xiong Kaiyuan and Fang Yizhi, but entered and exited the door of the Qing Dynasty's dignitaries.

Ding Shikui, a native of Jiangxia, Hubei, Chongzhen thirteen years of Jinshi, served as the director of the Ministry of Rites, Longwu and Yong successively served as the engineering department to the middle of the matter, the left of the official department to the middle of the matter, and the official department to the middle of the matter. After the fall of Guilin, he was appointed as a scholar in Guangxi.

In the original historical script, they were members of the five tiger cadres of the Chu Party in the late Yongli period of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the other three tigers were Yuan Pengnian, Meng Zhengfa, and Liu Xiangke, all of whom left a strong mark in history.

Among them, Jin Bao was the most active when the party was fighting against differences, "after his accusation, the portrayal made no place to be placed", so it was called "tiger teeth", Ding Shikui was "tiger tail", and Meng Zhengfa was "tiger claws". The five people formed a party to control the government, recruited power and accepted bribes, "If it is not the Tiger Party, it will not happen, and if it is not the Tiger Party, it will become a Tiger City." The Five Tigers pretend to be gentlemen, often citing the old chapters of the ancestors, "cutting down and suppressing cadres, and rectifying the government and government." In fact, they themselves are a group of figures who drill into the camp and make progress. Lu Kezao said: "In short, Peng Nian wants to worship (referring to entering the cabinet as a university scholar), Shi Kui wants to be in charge of the constitution (serving as the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate), and the fort wants to be in charge of the official department, wantonly squeezing out, and justice is not convinced." "The five of them forcibly admonished each other in case of trouble, but for their own selfish interests, to exclude dissidents, and to achieve the goal of controlling the imperial court.

In history, they behaved like this, and now they still want to jointly impeach the hard-working minister Chen Bangyan and fight to clear their reputation, and the murderous intent in Zhu Youlang's eyes flashed.
