Chapter 915: The Fall of Donglin



The gist of Qian Qianyi's remarks was that the various factions abandoned the 'door' households, worked hard, and closely rallied around the rebuilt Ming Dynasty with Hongguang Tianzi as the core. ()-

But Ruan Dacheng, who has made a comeback, doesn't have this mind, he is a ruthless 'color', and he knows that the contradiction between himself and Ma Shiying and Donglin has reached the point of irreconcilability

。 Thinking back then, Ruan Dacheng didn't think about reconciling with Donglin, and he also 'wanted' to return to Donglin. It's a pity that it was rejected by Donglin. When Chongzhen was fifteen years old, he avoided Nanjing, but as a result, Gu Gao, Yang Tingshu, Huang Zongxi, and other celebrities of the Restoration Society hated him as a person, and wrote "Staying in the Capital to Prevent 'Chaos' Public Exposure" to attack others and want to drive him out of Nanjing.

It can be said that the two sides have formed a deep enmity.

Ruan Dacheng is a revenge master, he not only wants to eliminate the Fushe, but also completely defeat Donglin.

After coming to power, the first thing Ruan Dacheng did was to secretly instruct Zhu Tong, lieutenant of Nanchang Jian'an Wangfu Zhenguo, to write a letter to expose Jiang Yueguang, a cabinet scholar, who had different ambitions and plotted against him.

Zhu Tong is a child of the royal family, so there is no need to ask, naturally it is Ma Shiying's gang.

He exposed Jiang Yueguang's crimes in three ways: first, forming a party; Second, Shi Kefa in Yangzhou, Zhang Shenyan who returned to his hometown, and Jiang Yueguang in the court, people in the three places have constant information exchanges with each other, and they are quite frequent. Three, the secret meeting of the three people in the prison seems to be plotting something.

According to the normal procedure, the recital of a lieutenant of a town state is handed over from the local government to the imperial court, and it must first be 'handed over' to the General Administration Department for examination and approval, and then 'handed over' to the cabinet. If the cabinet thinks that this excerpt is meaningless and nonsense, it can draft an opinion and return it directly, and it is impossible to send it to the celebrant or the emperor

And the General Administration Department and the Cabinet are all from Donglin, and according to the normal map, Lieutenant Zhu's book is basically equivalent to doing useless work.

Therefore, after Zhu Tong's recital was passed to the cabinet, it was first passed to Gao Hongtu, who presided over the cabinet's standing work, and after reading the recital, Gao felt that the matter was very important and needed to be suppressed first, so he drafted an opinion on the vote, demanding that the incident be strictly investigated again, and that the truth of the situation must be ensured, and then a positive result would be sent and he would be ready to return it.

But he never expected that the voting power of the cabinet now fell into the hands of Ma Shiying. So, Ma Cifu 'took time' out of his busy schedule to inspect the work, and happened to see Zhu Tong's excerpts in a bunch of notes, and he also felt that the matter was very important, so he directly sent it to the celebrant supervisor.

So, this fold fell into the hands of Emperor Hongguang.

Hongguang didn't look at it, and was furious: "Such an important matter, your cabinet dares to hide it from me." So he immediately ordered the cabinet to be called. ”

As an emperor, the most important thing is his own power. The imperial power and the prime minister were natural enemies, and the struggle between the two sides almost spanned more than 2,000 years of Chinese history

For any civilian-bureaucratic group that can fight the expansion of power, and the opportunity to make himself highly centralized, every emperor will not defend the country.

As soon as the cabinet people arrived, Hongguang reprimanded him sharply: "Tong and I are a family, and they will definitely not be deceived, why did you let him re-investigate!" ”

He reprimanded Gao Hongtu again: "Immediately send Shi Kefa back to the capital from Yangzhou, and I want to listen to his explanation." ”

After a thunderous outrage, Emperor Hongguang immediately ordered the establishment of a special task force to thoroughly investigate the matter, and the leader of the team was the whistleblower Zhu Tong.

It is said that this does not conform to the rules of independent investigation at all, but the problem is that the emperor is bent on doing so, and he also says things like "whoever asserts it, who adduces evidence", and the attitude of pulling the bias is already naked' and 'naked'.

Three days later, Zhu Tong, the chief investigator of the special case group, submitted a formal report, saying that there were no mistakes in the last investigation and that it was absolutely 100 percent accurate.

That's it. When the news came, Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang were so frightened that they said they were sick at home, and they didn't even dare to go out of the 'door', for fear that they would be caught by someone and sent to prison for dinner. The ministers in the court were also 'chaotic', not knowing where the demon wind was blowing, and they were afraid of bringing themselves in.

The Donglin Party has always prided itself on being an indomitable gentleman, but in fact this is not the case. If you want to talk about solar terms, Fang Xiaoru may have it, Yang Tinghe, Yang Shen father and son, but Wanli and Tianqi have been corrupted, and there are really few such people. With the budding of capitalism and the rise of the citizen class, the scholars are inevitably vulgar.

Back then, Wei Zhongxian did a lot of Donglin Party members, but sometimes he looked back. In addition to the unlucky few party leaders in Donglin, most of the Donglin people who were persecuted by the eunuch party were officials from poor backgrounds. As for the wealthy people, it is not bad. In this way, people can't help but think deeply---- why they were not persecuted, is it because Wei Biao likes rich people---- the answer is self-evident, the rich Donglin Party people took the 'door' road of the eunuch party and bribed the nine thousand years old and the eunuch party members.

In this way, Donglin's so-called gentleman's name is actually just that.

Qian Qianyi's backlash 'messed up' Donglin's thoughts, and Ruan Dacheng's ferocious methods suppressed all the gentlemen.

People's hearts avoid harm and seek profit, and when disaster comes, they naturally have to fly separately

The so-called festival '' and bones, there are probably some of the short-tempered Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa. But one of these two people was 'forced' to retire, and the other was far away in Yangzhou, and even the two leaders, Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang, were frightened.

Seeing these two shrinking eggs, the emperor and Ma Shiying and his party were determined and extremely contemptuous. I feel that Donglin is no longer an opponent.

Zhu Tong's neglect of the matter was 'made' to the end, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Jiang Yueguang and Gao Hongtu.

Jiang Yueguang couldn't hold his breath at first, he was discouraged, and he begged to go, Emperor Zhun. At the same time, Donglin's other grandmother, Liu Zongzhou, was retired.

After the retirement of Zhang Shenyan, the former secretary of the ministry, the imperial court later appointed Xu Shiqi, a cadre of Donglin, to succeed him.

Under Ma Shiying's instructions, Yushi Huang Erding and Lu Lang jointly impeached Xu Shiqi, but Xu Shiqi did not resist and applied for retirement and went home. Ma Shiying took this opportunity to put his close confidant Zhang Jie on the throne of the official secretary.

For a series of heavy blows to Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, Donglin, who had been 'made' by Qian Qianyi to discourage people's hearts, was in a state of splitting almost no power to fight back.

After Ma Shiying got rid of Jiang Yueguang, Liu Zongzhou, and Xu Shilin, the matter is not over.

Emperor Hongguang personally intervened and gave Donglin the final blow. He personally stepped forward and gave the only remaining Donglin party member Gao Hongtu a pension that was only equivalent to a symbolic pension, and the fourth feudal title and grandson could be shaded as a special treatment for the Zhongshu Sheren, saying that Gao Ge is old, and I thank you for your support for my work in the past few months. However, I can't bear to see you working so hard. Your old man should go home to recuperate and send Gao Hongtu back to his hometown...... No, Gao Ge's hometown is in Shandong, and now it has fallen into the hands of Jiannu, but he can't go back.

As a result, Gao Ge Lao could only move to Huiji.

In this way, there is no Donglin Party member in the cabinet, it is completely up to Ma Shiying himself, and Ma Yaocao has also reached the peak of power.

Donglin lost so much that his bottom 'pants' fell off.

Twenty years ago, the Donglin Party was defeated by Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party, which was supported by the apocalypse and helped by the Hakka family, and today, twenty years later, the Donglin Party has failed again, defeated in the hands of Ruan Dacheng, the remnant of the eunuch party that they originally despised and despised. The main reason is that behind Ma Ruan and the others stood Emperor Hongguang.
