Chapter 16 Zhu Youxiao, faint gentleman's ear

In September of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, in the late autumn, because the Hanlin Academy reviewed Li Mingrui's impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch and admiral of Dongchang, the eunuch and commander of the court, who killed young boys and girls without permission, Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong was furious after hearing about it, and scolded Wei Zhongxian for being a brute.

Wei Zhongxian, who was once powerful, was dismissed from the post of master of ceremonies and eunuch, demoted to the town guard of Nanjing, and was stripped of the title of 9,000 years old.

At the same time, after the reinstatement of Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the cabinet, and Xu Guangqi, a squire, Wang Zaijin, Bi Maokang, Sun Yuanhua, Mao Yuanyi, and other civil and military officials of the imperial court who had been dismissed in response to the party's dispute over the government were reinstated one after another.

Immediately afterwards, His Majesty personally issued an edict to rehabilitate Xiong Tingbi of the former Liaodong Economic Strategy, posthumously seal the military department Shangshu, and call him Xiangshu, and shade his young son as Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

For a time, the ministers of the East Forestry Party in the DPRK were all overjoyed when they heard this, and many officials of the Donglin Party took advantage of this to continue to impeach Wei Zhongxian, and some impeached other members of the Eunuch Party, from Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wei Guangwei, a scholar, to Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, and Huo Weihua, the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

is really beating the water dogs, and it is appropriate to vividly interpret the sentence that Yu Yong chases the poor.

The impeachment memorabilia received by the General Administration Department was piled up into a small mountain, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry even shouted that the supply of the impeachment memorabilia was insufficient, and the price of paper in the capital had tripled.

However, only the emperor himself, Zhu Youxiao, still calmly walked around with his queen in the Forbidden City, and the eunuch of the Salary Division reported that because the weather was getting cold, the supply of firewood could not be used for a while, and it was necessary to use internal money.

Zhu Youxiao was anxious when he heard this, Wang Zhichen wanted to move his own internal funds, but he didn't give it to him and directly transferred Wang Zhichen back, so that Wang Zaijin, who had a more economical strategic thinking, made a Liaodong economic strategy.

Even Sun Chengzong asked himself to supervise Liaodong, but he didn't agree, for no other reason, Sun Chengzong's strategic thinking was to burn money.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to throw most of the country's resources on the extremely incompetent Guanning Iron Cavalry in Liaodong, let alone his own internal money.

"There are so many impeachment excerpts in the General Administration Division, why do you keep them, they all go to me to move them, and I just use them to roast the fire", Zhu Youxiao said, and a group of people in the palace really went to the General Administration Division.

Although the newly appointed Bingbi eunuch and admiral Wang Chengen of Dongchang was loyal and reliable, he was not as domineering as Li Jinzhong, and he also knew that he was clumsy in front of the civil officials, and after he went to the General Administration Department, he only said that he would give it to His Majesty for approval, and the officials of the General Administration Department believed it, and it didn't matter if he didn't go to the cabinet anyway.

As a result, a large backlog of folds entered the court and became firewood.

Zhu Youxiao took a copy of the impeachment fold of the imperial history of the capital in his hand and patted it and said: "Oh, such a good paper, just like this, I feel extravagant", as he spoke, he threw the fold into the furnace, and suddenly the boss flame, and the excited Zhu Youxiao hurriedly called the little yellow door who accompanied the attendant to come over to bake the fire.

"What! Your Majesty actually burned us as firewood! ”

As soon as Xu Biqian, an official of the Donglin Party, learned that Zhu Youxiao had burned all the twists and turns of his impeachment of the eunuchs, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he didn't care about the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and scolded: "This Zhu Youxiao, faint gentleman's ears!" ”

"Hmph, in vain I thought he had reformed and would no longer shield the eunuchs from now on, but I didn't expect it to be just a deception to us, and it was infuriating!"

Chen Xianqing also echoed, with a look of wanting to swallow Zhu Youxiao.

Only Zhang Yong, the right edict, still looked like Gujing Wubo, and said with a cold smile: "When has Zhu Youxiao changed, I haven't told you, Zhu Youxiao doesn't die, and my Donglin Party will have no future!" ”

"What Brother Yizi has seen, how should we deal with it, now the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, in addition to the eunuch party, neutral officials have also leaned towards Zhu Youxiao, and even the university scholar Sun Chengzong and others are no longer with us, if this continues, the Donglin Party will definitely be torn apart!"

Sun Zhiji, who had defected to the Donglin Party, said worriedly, he now regrets it very much, regrets that he shouldn't have changed his court at the beginning, but now it's too late to regret it, and when he thought of being humiliated by Zhu Youxiao that day, he also wanted to really pull Zhu Youxiao off the emperor's throne one day.

Zhang Yong smiled: "You don't have to panic, I, Zhang, will introduce you to someone first." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yong clapped his hands, and then saw a white-faced scholar and a burly tartar walking over.

This white-faced scholar is naturally Ning Wanmei, and the Tartar with thin holes in copper coins is one of the two major Tartar commanders who destroyed the Hongguang regime in later generations, Azig!

Ning Wan me, these Donglin Party officials already know, the last time they plotted to assassinate Zhu Youxiao, there was this Ning Wan and my participation, but everyone thought that this Ning Wan was a staff member of Zhu Youxiao, the king of letters, but everyone didn't expect that this Ning Wan I actually knew the Guanwai Tartars.

Zhang Yong saw the surprise on the faces of other Donglin colleagues, so he hurriedly explained: "You don't have to be surprised, this Brother Ning is actually a bachelor of the Later Jin Kingdom, and he is deeply favored by Emperor Taiji of the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, and this is Beile Azig, the twelfth son of Nurhachi, who went to Beijing with Brother Ning this time to do business. “

After Zhang Yong finished speaking, I simply tore off the scarf on my head, revealing a pair of extremely ugly braids:

"As Brother Zijie said, the contemptible people are the ministers of the Great Khan of our dynasty, this time I came to Beijing to visit all the Ming Dynasty ministers, please forgive me for my recklessness!" Ning Wan said modestly.

These Donglin Party officials, including Sun Zhiji, only smiled, now that Daming and Houjin are hostile relations, no one will be in a good mood in front of the enemy.

However, Zhang Yong was very indifferent, and when he saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, he persuaded: "Alas, why should your colleagues be so restrained, Brother Ning and we are just our own masters, and the two countries do not fight each other, not to mention that we are only communicating privately." ”

"Why bother with so much nonsense, either cooperate to kill the Ming Emperor, or if you don't cooperate, I will kill you!"

This Azig had a reckless temper, and as he spoke, he slapped a big knife made of mixed iron on the table, which frightened the Donglin Party officials in their hearts.

Seeing this, Ning Wan hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Belle, don't worry, everything has minions." ”

"Humph!" Azig sat down disapprovingly.

And the other Donglin officials didn't dare to say anything, and finally Zhang Yong broke the deadlock and said: "You know, now that this Zhu Youxiao has to be removed, how to get rid of it, Zhang and Brother Ning have been thinking about it for a long time, and finally have a plan." “

Sun Zhiqi has always been timid and didn't speak, but Xu Biqian asked with some interest: "Oh, what is the strategy, let's hear it." ”

"That's the case, everyone knows, my Zhang family is one of the eight Jin merchants, perennial is to do business outside and outside the customs, now it just so happens that my Zhang family is going to transport a batch of raw skins from Liaodong into Beijing to sell, when the time comes, we will dress up the eighteenth gold as a small guy mixed in the caravan, and wait for the winter solstice on the day of Zhu Youxiao's palace sacrifice to the sky, secretly assassinated!"

Zhang Yong said and said: "But you all know that this Zhu Youxiao is now living in a simple house, and he easily refuses to leave the palace, so he has to rely on the ministers to force him out of the palace to worship the sky, as long as he leaves the palace, these eighteen Baturu will definitely kill Zhu Youxiao!" ”

"This is easy, now this dog emperor in order to deceive the public, really did a lot of things that an emperor should do, my teacher happens to be the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Jimo, I will go to meet the teacher tomorrow, please ask the teacher to personally advise His Majesty to sacrifice to the sky", Xu Biqian volunteered.

"Okay, then I, Chen, will take the opportunity to fold the bullet and impeach him Zhu Youxiao for ignoring etiquette and not paying attention to agricultural education, so I can't help Zhu Youxiao not agree!" Chen Xianqing also responded with him.

Seeing this, Sun Zhiqi had no choice but to say: "It just so happens that my teacher doesn't know that I have switched to Donglin, and I will also persuade my teacher to advise Zhu Youxiao to sacrifice to the sky!" ”

"Sun Chengzong's mentor is Sun Chengzong, and now the saint is in full swing, so right!" I couldn't help laughing out loud, and whispered to Zhang Yong: "Don't worry, after the matter is completed, my brother will definitely report your merits to the Great Khan." ”

"Thank you so much", Zhang Yong replied in a low voice, none of the Donglin Party officials present knew that this Lord Zhang had already secretly voted for Houjin Emperor Taiji.
