Chapter 288: Lock Na
Li Shi and Zhou Qiyuan's disagreement is a well-known thing, in order to crack down on Zhou Qiyuan, who has been cut down, Li Shi has played a lot to impeach him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Mao Yilu wanted to ask directly how this piece of music fell into Liu Dexi's hands, but when the words came to his mouth, he closed it in time.
Liu Dexi seemed to see his doubts, and said lightly: "This letter was originally an excerpt sent by Li Shi to the Inner Palace, but it was seen by me by chance. “
Mao Yilu didn't dare to ask again, but a chill welled up in his heart. This is an excerpt presented to the imperial court at the local level, and Liu Dexi was able to get it at will, which shows how far the energy of the factory guard has reached. I couldn't help but secretly congratulate myself that I didn't criticize Liu Dexi, a member of the imperial mission, in the note submitted to the imperial court, otherwise it would be very bad.
However, he still didn't quite understand Liu Dexi's intention to let him see this excerpt, so he said: "Please forgive the lower official for not understanding what his father-in-law meant?" ”
Liu Dexi smiled and said, "Li Shi impeached Zhou Qiyuan for corruption and perverted the law, and this letter will be sent to Beijing in the near future." Now we don't have a good way to deal with the Donglin Party, as long as we add a little stroke to this piece of music and add the name of Zhou Shunchang, who is the most ferocious, to it, in this way, we can not only justifiably take people, but also force Li Shi to stand a clear position, isn't it a plan to kill two birds with one stone? ”
Mao Yilu was apprehensive when he heard this, it seems that Liu Dexi had already made up his mind to do this, but he didn't tell himself until now, it can be seen that he didn't fully believe in himself from beginning to end, otherwise he wouldn't have told himself his plan until now.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's good for my father-in-law to have this plan, but how can we add other people's names to Li Shi's recital?" What if the court finds out? ”
"That's why our family has to bother Mao Zhongcheng." Liu De likes to spend his time and smiled leisurely, "This kind of thing is difficult for others, but it is not difficult for you." Zhongcheng can rest assured that now the cabinet has long been controlled by the factory office, not to mention adding the name of the person, that is, adding seven or eight, and the cabinet will definitely follow it. Now it's just a formality, and no one is really interested in the content of the cantata. ”
Mao Yilu still had concerns, and said: "But if you wait for the cabinet to approve it, I'm afraid things have already changed?" ”
Liu Dexi smiled coldly and said, "Our family came here on the orders of the emperor, so why wait for the approval of the imperial court for such a trivial matter." Tomorrow morning, you will take someone to lock up Zhou Shunchang, and you can't tolerate him anymore! ”
Mao Yilu nodded and said, "Okay, just do what my father-in-law says." ”
……
"In late spring and March, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, the peanut trees are mixed, and the warblers are flying wildly."
Spring is the season of vitality, but also the season of excitement, in such a good season, those scholars and scholars should be to call friends, drive from the suburbs to play, enjoy flowers and poems, but now, they under the leadership of Zhou Shunchang, a member of the Donglin Party, came to the street outside the governor's yamen, gathered together, shouted slogans, and demonstrated and petitioned the officials in the governor's yamen, expressing their indignation.
It had been almost ten days since they had come here to demonstrate and petition, but for many days the governor had turned a deaf ear to all their actions, not only did not send anyone to meet them, but also ignored their many demands. The behavior of the governor of the yamen completely angered these young students, and if it were not for Zhou Shunchang to stop them, I was afraid that they would have rushed to the yamen to find Mao Yilu to theorize.
Zhou Shunchang was in a very bad mood at the moment, and the government yamen ignored their petitions for many days, which made him feel blocked. He was also an important position in the Ministry of Ministers in the DPRK back then, but now the fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, Mao Yilu and others don't pay attention to him at all, which makes him even more disgraced in front of a late-born student.
So Zhou Shunchang became more and more annoyed, and the voice of scolding suddenly increased several times, and shouted angrily at the gate of the official office: "Wei Zhongxian's perverse behavior is unpopular, and Mao Yilu's help is intoler......able to abuse the heavens." Many scholars around him saw him frenzy again, and they were not to be outdone, and they rolled up their sleeves to join the scolding behavior, using all kinds of vicious scolding, and launched today's scolding offensive towards the governor's yamen.
As a result, the front gate of the governor's yamen once again fell into a gushing saliva, which frightened countless passers-by, traders, and tourists, and stopped to watch the excitement, making the already not very spacious Shuyuan Lane even more congested.
Just as they were tired of scolding and stopped talking and began to rest, a group of errand officers suddenly came out of the yamen, led by a man in fine clothes, and walked quickly towards their location.
Zhou Shunchang suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly dressed up, and stood at the front - this was the first time that the official government had made a change in their behavior, and of course he had to treat it solemnly.
Soon, the servants came to them. Zhou Shunchang saw that the leader of this team was Sun Yunhe, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and greeted him without fear.
What about Jin Yiwei, how could he Zhou Shunchang be afraid of it? Last year, when Jinyi Tiqi went south to arrest Wei Dazhong, he had acted for Wei Dazhong, and scolded Wei Zhongxian in front of many Tiqi, at that time, Jinyi Tiqi was not able to help him, and now under the raging crowd, he didn't believe that Jinyiwei dared to do anything to him.
The servants scattered to both sides, and one of them pointed and shouted: "What should you be guilty of making noise in front of the official office, insulting the court, and disturbing the order?" ”
Zhou Shunchang took a step forward and responded loudly: "Mao Yilu flatters the eunuch party, there is no distinction between right and wrong, if Donglin Academy is not unsealed, I will not leave, I will only fight to the end!" ”
"Yes, I swear not to leave!" The scholars beside Zhou Shunchang echoed loudly and shouted.
Sun Yunhe looked at Zhou Shunchang and said coldly: "Zhou Shunchang, you instigated students to gather illegally, disrupted the government's errands, and all kinds of behaviors have violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and I will arrest you today and punish you for your crimes!" ”
Zhou Shunchang laughed and said: "We are gathered here just to speak up and advocate justice, if I am arrested for this, I Zhou Shunchang is willing to be punished." After that, he walked up to Sun Yunhe, stretched out his hands to him and said, "Come on, take me to see Mao Yilu." ”
Sun Yunhe didn't make a move, just looked at him and sneered: "Do you think it's as simple as just inciting people to gather, isn't that cheapening you?" Then the tone changed to Gao Dao, "The available evidence has found out that Zhou Shunchang and the previous governor of Suzhou, Zhou Qiyuan, were greedy, and they will be brought to justice today!" With that, he waved his hands and ordered left and right, "Take it down for me." ”
As soon as his words fell, several messengers around him rushed up and put the chains in their hands towards Zhou Shunchang. But the hundreds of students around Zhou Shunchang were not vegetarians, and when they saw such a situation, they rushed up one after another, blocking in front of those errand soldiers.
Zhou Shunchang was taken aback, and shouted at Sun Yunhe: "When did I join Zhou Qiyuan to be greedy, and you don't want to lie to me?" ”
Sun Yunhe sneered: "Wronged you? This is a detailed description of the Weaving Bureau Li Shi's book, and it is clear and unmistakable, written there in black and white, how can you quibble? Then he shouted to everyone, "Zhou Shunchang is corrupt and perverts the law, and his crime is unforgivable, but anyone who dares to obstruct the government's errands will be guilty of the same crime!" ”
Under Sun Yunhe's order, the servants forcibly rushed over and put the locks in their hands towards Zhou Shunchang. The scholars and scholars around him were shocked for a while, and they didn't have time to stop them, so they could only watch Zhou Shunchang being shackled.
Zhou Shunchang was angry, and shouted at the servants around him: "I am Zhou Shunchang, who dares to lock me?" ”
Seeing Zhou Shunchang struggling, those scholars reacted, shouted one after another, and squeezed up to grab someone. All of a sudden, the crowd was excited, and the scene became very chaotic.
Sun Yunhe shouted angrily and shouted, "Do you want to rebel? An arrow stepped up and slammed a fist into the chest of a scholar who rushed to the front, and the man snorted and fell backwards.
At the same time, the rest of the servants also raised their water and fire sticks in their hands and hit these unarmed scholars, and immediately beat them back and screamed. These scholars couldn't imagine that the officials would dare to beat people, and many of them were immediately injured, and the formation was quickly dispersed by the officers.
"I can't help myself!" Sun Yunhe looked at these fragile scholars, snorted from his nostrils, and walked away with the messengers.
……
In the secret house of the Jinling Society in the north of the city, Zhong Buli, who received the news of Zhou Shunchang's arrest, looked gloomy, and said to Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu and others: "I didn't expect Mao Yilu to dare to attack Zhou Gong, he was really mad." ”
Qian Qianyi sighed and said, "Since Mao Yilu dares to arrest Zhou Shunchang, he dares to arrest others, and the current situation is very unfavorable to us...... and then said, "It is said that the crime of arresting Zhou Shunchang this time is collusion and embezzlement, and it is also based on Li Shi's transcript of the Weaving Bureau?" ”
Zhong Buli frowned when he heard this, turned to Du Ying and Ma Jie, and said, "The news you got is indeed correct?" ”
Ma Jie replied: "According to our investigation, Mao Yilu's crime of arresting Zhou Gong this time is indeed the crime of embezzlement, saying that he collaborated with the previous governor Zhou Qiyuan to embezzle the tax and silver of the imperial court, and this matter is indeed Li Shi's impeachment......
Zhong Buli said angrily: "Zhou Gong has always been frank, how could he commit the crime of greed? This must be Mao Yilu's framing of false accusations and retaliation. ”
Qian Qianyi couldn't help but said: "Brother Zhong and Li Shi have always had a good personal relationship, can you send someone to ask you to find out the details inside?" ”
Zhong Buli sighed lightly and said: "If I usually send someone to inquire about it, I will definitely get the answer, but now that I am wanted by the government, I will personally board the gate of the Weaving Bureau, but I am afraid that Li Shi will not dare to show up to see me." ”
Qian Qianyi frowned and said, "Does this Li Shi really have any evidence of Zhou Gong, otherwise how could he impeach Zhou Gong for no reason?" ”
Zhong Buli sighed again and said: "It is a well-known thing that Li Shi and Zhou Qiyuan are not at odds, and it is not an unexpected thing for him to impeach Zhou Qiyuan, but I didn't expect to involve Zhou Gong, what kind of crime did he commit!" ”
Qian Qianyi said: "With Brother Zhong's understanding of Li Shi, is this person still trustworthy?" ”
Zhong Buli pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head blankly and said, "The matter has come to this point, and I don't dare to guarantee whether Li Shi is really on our side." He was able to help us before, but he relied on the favor of us, and he couldn't turn his face away for a while, but now that the situation has turned bad, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not change his position and protect himself. ”
Qian Qianyi said: "Then in your opinion, what should we do?" ”
Zhong Buli's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, and he said word by word: "Has Brother Qian forgotten the instructions of Duke Gao when he left?" ”
Qian Qianyi was taken aback when he heard this, looked at him in a daze and said, "What do you mean......" Speaking of this, he couldn't go on.
Zhong Buli's eyes lit up, staring at Qian Qianyi and said, "If he is unkind, we will be unjust." The only way to do this now is to follow the deployment of Gao Gong and burn down the Wei Eunuch Temple, kill the eunuch Liu Dexi, and let the eunuchs know the means of our Donglin people. ”
Qian Qianyi took a deep breath and said: "Countering violence with violence and retaliating with a tooth for a tooth is an extreme measure, and you can't act recklessly until the end." In my opinion, it is better to unite Sun Yueling, Huang Zunsu and others from the Fenghua Society to invite them together to discuss and see if there is a proper way to deal with them? ”
Zhong Buli shook his head and sighed: "Although Brother Qian's idea is good, it is a pity that it is difficult to realize after all. To tell you the truth, I have had personal contact with Sun Yueling for a long time, and I once asked him about it, but he has always been vague and perfunctory, and he is unwilling to participate in this matter. After a pause, he continued, "He only cares about the affairs of Jiangnan United Trading Company now, and if he wants to help me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky." However, this is not surprising, after all, he belongs to Ye Xianggao's lineage, and he has always been cowardly and afraid in the fight against the enemy, so it is better to count on himself than to count on him. ”
Qian Qianyi wanted to speak again and again, but finally sighed and stopped talking.
Zhong Buli's eyes shot a strong light, looked at Qian Qianyi and said: "Brother Qian, now that Donglin has suffered a great disaster, Gao Gong has retired from illness, and Zhou Gong has been arrested, you are the only person who can call on Qunlun now, and it is also my only hope for Zhong Buli, since I have decided to fight to the end, I hope you can take them out of here......" Pointing to Zhang Pu, Yang Tingshu and others behind him, he continued, "Once this matter is done, the eunuch party will definitely not give up, maybe Jinling will be wiped out from now on, and Donglin will be revived in the future, and the Jinling Society will be restored." , please give it to Brother Qian! ”
After that, he turned his head to Zhong Yansong and said, "You also follow, don't stay here." ”
"Daddy......" Zhong Yansong cried, "how can I go alone?" ”
"Brother Zhong!" Seeing that Zhong Buli, who had made up his mind, Qian Qianyi felt very unbearable.
Zhong Buli waved his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "You don't need to say it anymore, I have made up my mind and will never change it!" ”
