Chapter 418: The Helpless Emperor Taichang (1st Update)
"It's ridiculous, Mr. Cui just went to the imperial pharmacy to get the medicine, how could he become a rebel who plotted to kill me? As for the matter of the Queen Mother, it is even more nonsense, this matter is over, and it must not be discussed again! ”
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Taichang suddenly turned pale after listening to Fang Congzhe's report, and he gave an edict while coughing.
After Emperor Taichang succeeded to the throne, he did not seize Cui Wensheng's official position, he was still the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and was in charge of the imperial pharmacy, so Cui Wensheng only had gratitude to him, how could it hurt him?
As for the Empress Dowager Zheng, Emperor Taichang already has a crown prince, even if something happens, it will not be King Fu's turn to ascend the throne, but will harm King Fu, so it must have nothing to do with Empress Dowager Zheng.
Although Emperor Taichang does not have the demeanor of Emperor Wanli, he is not the kind of person who allows people to fool him, and he is naturally clear about this clear and simple truth.
In Emperor Taichang's opinion, the responsibility for the last time he had diarrhea twenty or thirty times because of taking Tongli medicine was on the imperial doctor, but he did not mean to punish the imperial doctor, it was obvious that the imperial doctor did not mean to do so, once he had an accident, the imperial doctor would definitely be beheaded all over the house.
"How can Cui Wensheng, a eunuch, not be against the party?"
Fang Congzhe returned to Wenyuan Pavilion with easy steps, and loudly told everyone at the scene of Emperor Taichang's edict, and an official of the Donglin Party immediately became emotional after hearing this, and couldn't help but shout:
"The queen mother has been in the harem for decades, how can Cui Wensheng, a eunuch who doesn't understand etiquette and shame, not talk to the queen mother? The saint is obviously a body loss caused by excessive wine, but Cui Wensheng gave Litong medicine, this must be a rebellion! ”
"Yes, it must be the Queen Mother who deceived the emperor!" Immediately afterwards, another official of the Donglin Party shouted, "Everyone, we will clear the traitors in the palace and restore the peace of the harem." ”
"Eradicate the traitors, bless me Daming!" I don't know who it was in the crowd, and shouted at the throat, "Let's go and kneel and admonish, we must let the emperor wake up and stay away from those traitors, so as not to be murdered." ”
"Kneel, kneel!" A burst of hoarse cries suddenly erupted in the crowd, and under the leadership of Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, they left Wenyuan Pavilion in a rage.
"Shousuke-sama, it's been a great job." After Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and the others left, Li Hongyu stepped forward and bowed to Fang Congzhe and said.
"Alas!" Fang Congzhe smiled bitterly at Li Hongyu when he heard this, and then let out a long sigh.
He is a smart person, and naturally knows that Li Hongyu is also dissatisfied with the actions of the Donglin Party in his words, but there is no way to deal with it like him, after all, now that the Donglin Party is in power, he can only wait and see what happens.
Outside the door.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the society of the Ming Dynasty, please be far away from the villains and close to the virtuous ministers, and search for the harem to disrupt the party!"
Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other officials of the Donglin Party knelt outside the Qianqing Gate and wept loudly in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, hoping that Emperor Taichang would listen to their advice and punish Cui Wensheng and others for their crimes.
Not only that, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others also hoped to arrest the imperial doctor who was responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of Emperor Taichang at that time to the Imperial Prison for interrogation, so as to find out the mastermind behind the endangerment of Emperor Taichang.
It is worth mentioning that the Forbidden City is divided into two parts: the inner court and the outer court, the inner court is the place where the emperor and the harem concubines live, and the outer court is the place where the emperor receives civil and military officials, and the north and south boundary between the two sides is the Qianqing Gate.
The north of the Qianqing Gate is the inner court, the south is the outer court, and the Wenyuan Pavilion and the six branches are located in the outer court.
Since the inner court was the place where the emperor and the harem concubines lived, there was no summons from the emperor or empress, and the foreign ministers were forbidden to enter.
Qianqing Gate is the closest place to Emperor Taichang that Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou can reach, so they choose to kneel outside Qianqing Gate, shouting and crying bitterly.
Li Hongyu looked at the Donglin Party officials who were kneeling there and weeping bitterly from a distance, shook his head and left, thinking that these officials were simply a waste of resources, no wonder the operation of the central yamen of the Ming Dynasty was inefficient, and his original mind was used in the open and secret battles.
Emperor Taichang didn't pay attention to the officials kneeling outside the Qianqing Gate, anyway, without his edict, those people would not be able to enter the Qianqing Gate, otherwise it would be a rebellion.
Although Emperor Taichang's attitude had clearly told the Donglin Party officials kneeling outside, this did not discourage those officials, but made them more excited.
Therefore, the officials of the Donglin Party resorted to chariot warfare, and wept bitterly outside the outer court in the morning and evening, and for twelve hours there were people on duty howling, begging the Taichang Emperor to accept their opinions.
The distance between Qianqing Gate and Qianqing Palace is not too far, and it is good that you can't hear the wails of those officials during the day, and at night, the cries of those officials are particularly harsh in the silent night sky.
Li Hongyu was very speechless about this, if those civil officials did not focus on these things and the party's similarities, then the Ming Dynasty would have already been realized.
After all, Emperor Taichang was in poor health, so after being woken up by the cries of Qianqingmen for several nights, Li Xuan, who was waiting on the side, was in a hurry, ready to let the guards drive away those annoying officials.
However, Emperor Taichang stopped Li Xuanzhi's approach, thinking that those officials who knelt down and cried were all loyal and upright ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and since they were willing to kneel, then kneel.
The officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang silently paid attention to this farce in the palace, and seemed very nervous, and as time went by, some officials from small and medium-sized factions successively joined the team of Qianqingmen crying, making the scale of the team bigger and bigger.
On this morning, when Li Hongyu was dealing with the official business at hand in the Hanlin Academy, the concubine Ran Xingrang came to visit.
Li Hongyu knew that Ran Xingrang came for the affairs of the Empress Dowager Zheng, after all, the civil official team outside the Qianqing Gate was gradually growing, which must have given the Empress Dowager Zheng heavy psychological pressure.
"Brother Li, what do you say those people want to do, the Queen Mother has no threat to them now, why are they still clinging to the Queen Mother? said that the Queen Mother was against the party. ”
After waiting for the subordinates who served the tea to retreat, Ran Xingrang frowned and said to Li Hongyu, his words were full of dissatisfaction, after Emperor Taichang ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Zheng had already handed over the power of the harem, so there was no need for the Donglin Party to use the topic to play and kill them all.
"Do you know what a drunkard means?" Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, took a sip of the teacup in front of him, and asked quietly.
"Brother Li, are you saying they have other plans?" Ran Xingrang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then reacted, and couldn't help but ask with a surprised expression, he didn't understand what the Donglin Party was trying to do now.
"Donkey, the focus of the word 'anti-party' is on the 'party' rather than 'anti'!" Seeing that Ran Xingrang hadn't come back to his senses yet, Li Hongyu said meaningfully.
"You're saying their purpose is ...... Those people in the court? After Li Hongyu's reminder, Ran Xingrang was stunned, and then remembered something, and looked at Li Hongyu with a stunned expression, which was really beyond his expectations.
"The queen mother is in the harem, if you want to poison the emperor and seek to usurp the throne, then there will definitely be helpers in the court, once the crime of going against the party is determined, then it is necessary to find the same party in the court, and God knows how many people will be involved."
Li Hongyu bowed slightly when he heard this, and his expression gradually became solemn, he thought that this was the ultimate goal of the Donglin Party this time, otherwise it seemed to be meaningless, and he couldn't hold back to make such a big formation, and the Empress Dowager Zheng had obviously lost power.
Besides, if the people of the Donglin Party want to bring down the Empress Dowager Zheng, they will definitely catch a group of rebels who come out, otherwise how could the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty be so easily overthrown?
"Brother Li, how should the Queen Mother deal with it?" Ran Xingrang had already understood what Li Hongyu meant, and asked with a frown, his expression was unusually solemn.
"The Queen Mother doesn't want to do anything now, the emperor's words and deeds have shown that he doesn't believe in that kind of slander."
Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and after a deep sigh, he said, "In my opinion, the emperor will choose to settle the matter in order to solve the trouble this time, and I am afraid that Manager Cui will suffer some grievances at that time." ”
"Alas!" Ran Xingrang suddenly sighed when he heard this, "I hope this incident can pass as soon as possible!" ”
"They cried all night again?" A few days later, in the early morning, as soon as Emperor Taichang woke up, he heard a continuous wail coming from outside the hall, so he coughed and asked Li Xuanzhi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
"Back to the emperor, those people in Qianqingmen howled all night, and the concubines were awakened several times." Li Xuanzhi smiled bitterly and replied a little helplessly, she couldn't imagine that those officials had such perseverance and perseverance.
Emperor Taichang fell silent when he heard this, and the endless crying outside the window made his mood inexplicably irritable, and he sighed and sighed: "Why Emperor Sejong killed those ministers with a rod, I know today. ”
Emperor Shizong is Emperor Jiajing, that is, the grandfather of Emperor Wanli, Emperor Jiajing's father is a vassal king, when Emperor Jiajing entered Beijing at the age of 16 to inherit the throne, the courtiers asked him to cut off the relationship with his parents, so as not to interfere with the government of Emperor Jiajing's parents.
Unexpectedly, the sixteen-year-old Emperor Jiajing refused to do this, so a group of courtiers also went to the Qianqing Gate to cry day and night.
As a result, the Jiajing Emperor was enraged and ordered to beat those who wept bitterly out of the Forbidden City with sticks.
Not only that, but later there was a courtier kneeling outside the noon gate, wanting to make Emperor Jiajing submit to their opinions, and provoke Emperor Jiajing to anger, so he sent someone to stick those officials, and killed a few on the spot before the civil officials retreated.
"Summoning the cabinet members, the officials of the six ministries and the governors of the five prefectures to meet with them!"
Emperor Taichang now finally experienced the troubles and helplessness of Emperor Jiajing at that time, and he was unwilling to continue to suffer this crime, so he was ready to take action to solve the matter.
The chamberlain was just about to leave, Emperor Taichang suddenly remembered something, so he called the chamberlain and asked him to pass Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and others who were kneeling outside the Qianqing Gate into the palace together, and he wanted to see where Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and others were.
