Chapter 65: The Conspiracy Emerges
In the past two days, the capital has been as lively as the New Year, first the day before yesterday, it was reported that King Fu intended to rebel but was discovered by Jinyiwei, and then the news that King Fu, who was in a hurry, was suppressed by Jinyiwei and set his family on fire.
This news suddenly caused a monstrous wave in the capital, King Fu was the person who almost became the emperor back then, and he has always been domineering, he did a lot of bad things in the capital, and after Luoyang, he was even more angry, and the people heard that King Fu rebelled and had been pacified by Jinyiwei, and they all applauded!
Officials and scholars from all walks of life are not as simple as the common people, relying on likes and dislikes to judge things! For a while, there were all kinds of speculations, and the main doubts were gathered on Jin Yiwei.
It took only half a day from the time when Jin Yiwei found out that King Fu was preparing to rebel and found evidence to decisively attack King Fu's mansion, and he put down the rebellion of the vassal king so quickly, which was eye-popping! Behind this has to be suspicious!
Just when everyone was shocked, the news was confirmed the next day, the cabinet ministers had made a decision about King Fu's rebellion, and the emperor also sent the eunuch Cao Gonggong to Luoyang to deal with the aftermath for King Fu in person!
Then there was gossip in the capital that the emperor heard that King Fu had rebelled, and was ready to spare King Fu for leaving him alive, but he didn't think that King Fu actually set his family on fire and died, and the emperor felt that he had forced his uncle to death, and his depression became aggravated again, and he boycotted the dynasty again!
Moreover, the emperor suddenly ordered to convene craftsmen from all over the country to build an imperial mausoleum for him this time, and this series of events made many people wonder if there was something wrong with the emperor's body, and he was already preparing for the future!
The emperor is seriously ill and ignores the government, and the prince is young, which makes many conspirators think that they shouldn't have!
Today, the capital is full of discussions, three days ago, the eunuch Wang Chengen instructed the Jinyi guards to arrest all the men in the Ning and Rong Mansions on trumped-up charges, and even beat two righteous guests to death on the spot!
First by the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, and now he has the right to eunuch Wang Chengen, for a time rumors spread in the capital, and people were panicked!
"The emperor is seriously ill and ignores the government, Jinyiwei and the gelding dog colluded to take the opportunity to make trouble, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Wang Chengen, the gelding dog, dared to instruct the Son of Heaven to openly arrest all the descendants of the Ning and Rong Mansions in the Guogong Mansion, it is really a big thief in the court!"
"The descendant of the dignified Guogong, and even more so my Ming official, was actually said to be taken away, this gelding dared to be so unscrupulous!"
"Now that I am trapped inside and outside, and I have the right to castrate the government, is it that God does not bless me Daming!"
"Lord Zhang of the Imperial History of Zuodu has gone to the cabinet to meet with several cabinet elders to complain about the case, although I am humble but also determined to go, I will do my best for my Ming, can you ministers go together?"
"Let's go!"
All the ministers were angry, ready to do their part for the Ming Dynasty to kill the demons and evil people who brought disaster to the country and the people!
……
In the Guozi Prison, there is also a storm at this moment, hundreds of prisoners gathered together, discussing this matter, and when they talked about Wang Chengen, the gelding, they all gritted their teeth and were filled with righteous indignation!
"This gelding dog, taking advantage of the emperor's ignorance of the government to frame Zhongliang, is simply a big rebellion!"
"It's this gelding dog who actually directly sent Jinyi Wei to arrest people on trumped-up charges, does he still have my Daming King Law in his eyes?"
"How innocent those two righteous guests were! was killed for no reason, the Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention this mere gelding! ”
"As prisoners, we must take care of this injustice! Get justice for the people! ”
"Exactly! This statement is reasonable, family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned, our ambition to study is not to establish a life for the people, for me to open peace in the Ming Dynasty, now there is such a demon in the court, how can I sit idly by as a prisoner! ”
"Of course we have to take care of it, but how should we manage it, we can't deal with this kind of eunuch at all, Brother Li Shizhong, Brother Li, you are very knowledgeable and well-informed, and you usually have the most ideas, what do you say we should do now!"
"That's right, Brother Li, now that the eunuch is in charge, what can you do?"
"Yes, Brother Li, we have always obeyed you, what do you say, we will do it this time! As long as we are united, the emperor has to think about it! ”
The crowd called one after another for Li Shizhong to come forward to take charge of the overall situation, so that everyone present turned their heads to look at Li Shizhong to see what he had in mind!
There are several types of prisoners in the country, the first is the eunuch, and those who are raised are called eunuchs.
The second type is the tribute eunuch, who is made by Xiucai as a prisoner, called Gongsheng.
Li Shizhong is a prisoner, and he is from a scholarly family, and he is the leader of the younger generation of the Restoration Society, and his father is Li Ruoxing, the boss of Donglin! He not only knows people, but also is kind to others, helping each other as appropriate, and there are a large number of students from the Fushe Society around him, and he has great influence in the entire Guozijian!
Li Shizhong lifted his robe, stood on the bookcase, and shouted, "Okay!" Everyone, please listen to me quietly, since you can trust me Li, then Li should be a liver and brain! ”
Seeing that everyone was quiet and turned their eyes to himself, Li Shizhong excitedly shouted, "It would have been a great thing for the emperor to hand over state affairs to the cabinet because he was seriously ill, but I didn't expect that there were eunuchs who took the opportunity to make trouble, wantonly arrested loyal ministers, and killed righteous people in broad daylight.
In the past, Wei Zhongxian killed five volunteers, and Zhang Gong of the Restoration Society made five tombstones for five people who died because of righteousness, as a sign of resistance! Today, he has the right to eunuch Chengen to kill the righteous, and this is the time for my generation to emulate the sages and hoe traitors for the country!
Two hundred and fifty years of Ming monks, the righteous death festival is today, you Li is ready to go to the noon gate to protest today, the emperor will not kill Wang Chengen one day, I will sit and die in front of the noon gate, never leave! Who wants to go together! ”
Li Shizhong's words aroused the enthusiasm of the prisoners present, and they followed the example of Zhang Gong of the Fushe to hoe the country for the traitor! The prisoners shouted, "Go together! Let's go! ”
Li Shizhong saw that all the prisoners were full of enthusiasm and wanted to go to the noon gate immediately, and immediately raised his arms and shouted, "Everyone, go, go to the noon gate with me!" ”
After saying that, he jumped off the bookcase, walked in front with his head held high, and shouted in his mouth, "Hoeing rape for the country, fighting for righteousness and death, is today!" ”
A group of prisoners also followed behind and shouted, and the sound shook the entire Guozijian, and the prisoners who heard the movement continued to rush to join the team, and the team had grown to as many as 1,000 people just after leaving the gate of the Guozijian.
In the restaurant next to Guozijian, the leper monk looked at the thousands of prisoners shouting slogans and going to protest in front of the noon gate, and couldn't help but nod and praise: "Master Fan is so capable!" If such a fuss occurs, Wang Chengen is destined to die! ”
"Master Miao Zan, this matter Fan Mou is just pushing the boat along the river, mainly because the Donglin Party wants to take the opportunity to deal with the eunuchs, otherwise Fan Mou alone will not be able to make such a move!" Fan Yongdou smiled modestly, stood up and personally made tea for the leper monk.
"It's just a pity that Brother Ling, I can't imagine that because the old man died at the hands of eunuchs, even your Fan family's Beppu in the capital was raided, and everyone was imprisoned and killed, what a sin!" When the leper monk mentioned Fan Yongsheng, he couldn't help but sigh with compassion!
"My brother can serve the master and he deserves to die, but it's a pity that he couldn't complete the master's trust, and the master of labor put down the big thing and rushed back to the capital, which really made Fan feel guilty!" Fan Yongdou lightly mentioned the death of Fan Yongsheng and all the clansmen of the Fan family in the capital.
"That girl is more important to my Buddhism, I believe that as long as Lao Wei sends her to the Jin Dynasty, it will be a great credit, these side matters are not worth mentioning, please rest assured that the Fan family's loss this time my Buddhism will make up for it!" The leper monk shook the tattered fan with a smug expression and smiled slightly.
"All the adult males in Jiafu have been imprisoned, the only lady of the command, the old lady of Jiafu also died of a serious illness, and the rest are all women, I discussed with the ministers of the Donglin Party and decided that I should be the defendant, accusing Wang Chengen of wantonly killing my Fan family! Previously, there were six departments for the matter and the Imperial History of the Imperial Court to meditate in front of the noon gate, plus these thousands of prisoners, the emperor should not be able to sit still, master, please let me retire first! Fan Yongdou got up and said goodbye to the leper monk.
The leper monk also got up to see him off, and asked Fan Yongdou when he went out, "I heard that Fan Shizhu brought dozens of elite family members on this trip, and I am going to go to Jiafu to take away that girl later, according to the news from Miaoyu, there are still several attendants accompanying the Lin girl, and there are dozens of family members in Jiafu, and there are thousands of family members in Jiafu next to it, and the old man can't do it in the capital, not to mention that the Lin girl is born Fengge, and the old man is naturally controlled in front of her!" I wonder if Master Fan can lend these family members to the old man for use? ”
"The master has a request, Fan must respond, but why is the master so anxious, as long as we get rid of that Wang Chengen, this Lin girl will no longer have anyone to protect, and when Jia Yu and the others are released from prison, they will definitely sacrifice her with their own hands, killing the inner servant is not a trivial matter after all, why should the master take such a big risk!" Fan Yongdou was puzzled.
"The matter of Shaanxi is also related to the overall situation of my Buddhism, if I take someone to Jiafu to take this Lin girl away now, I can rush back to Shaanxi in time! It's worth taking a risk. The leper monk whispered to Fan Yongdou.
