The atmosphere in the tea house is also very solemn these days, and the tea guests no longer have the leisure to talk, and their attention is attracted by the newspaper reports on this tragedy. The newspaper lamented that the dark Zhengde Dynasty was coming again, and the tea guests were also indignant, and Ma Liuye and others even scolded the eunuchs for their perverse behavior, and even hung up on the lips of 'faint king' and 'eunuch' all day long.

Although Shen Mo has been comforting the tea guests, he wrote an article on crusading against the eunuchs, using a large number of examples to prove that if the eunuch is an unfillable monster, if he only thinks about spending money to eliminate the disaster, he can only fuel his arrogance and be increasingly oppressed. Only by being undaunted and united to get rid of these insatiable scoundrels can Shanghai regain its tranquility.

His writing is sharp, his thoughts are profound, and he also knows the history of the dynasty and the secret history of the court. But many newspapers were worried about getting into trouble, so they didn't take it, with the exception of 'Xin Pao', which ranked 10th in Shanghai.

This newspaper, which was founded too late and could not be ranked among the top of the poster industry for many years, has an editor-in-chief who is about to be tortured by his boss and go crazy. Before reading this article, he had just been threatened by his boss to get out of the way if the newspaper's sales did not improve next month. After reading this article, the sluggish editor-in-chief suddenly became energetic, and he could foresee that the article would definitely cause an uproar...... If you change to another editor-in-chief, you will definitely not dare to use it, but for him, if he succeeds, he will be brought back to life. If it doesn't work, you can drag the boss to die together, and the result is good. Therefore, he took it without hesitation, and did not stop doing it, and invited all the advertisements on the front page to the second page, vacated the entire page, and printed the text of the crusade against the atrocities of the eunuchs.

When the boss saw it the next day, he fainted directly. When he woke up, he roared and grabbed the editor-in-chief's collar and said, "If you want to drag me to die together, I'll throw it into the Huangpu River first!" ”

"Then I'll have to wait until I finish printing the 50,000 copies that I have printed." The editor-in-chief said lightly.

"How much, how much?" The boss's mouth can be stuffed with a duck egg.

"Fifty thousand." The editor-in-chief repeats.

"Five, fifty thousand." The boss let go of his hand and paced back and forth in the room while talking to himself, which was the sales volume of Shanghai Daily, and he dreamed of reaching the number! Should we seize this opportunity to break through in one fell swoop? The boss weighed in pain.

"What is there to hesitate about? If you are worried that those eunuchs will see it, the five thousand copies we printed first must have been seen by them. The editor-in-chief said very calmly: "Then it makes no difference whether we add it or not." But for our newspapers, the difference is too great. ”

"That's right, even if you die, you can be a dead ghost!" The boss finally put the worry of risk behind him and said, "Give me a print!" ”

With its front-page incisive news commentary, the newspaper quickly stood out from the poster forest, and people still preferred this kind of sharpness and brightness to the original style full of advertisements. Xinbao, who had tasted the sweetness, continued to make persistent efforts and published a series of articles in a few days in a row to crusade against the eunuchs and replace them with articles on the beach Qingming, which not only raised its sales to the level of Shanghai Daily, but also forced other newspapers to the point where they had to confess their positions.

So the newspapers on the beach began to scramble to denounce it, demanding that the eunuchs stop their atrocities and hand over the murderers! Although the eunuchs had almost no habit of reading newspapers, this did not affect the powerful influence of the newspapers on the citizens, and the anger of the people quickly escalated, and they repeatedly hinted that if the government could not seek justice for the citizens, they would use their own methods to obtain justice.

Sun Ying, the prefect of Shanghai, was the younger brother of Sun Yan and Sun Ling, and originally received instructions from his brother, so he just had to wait and see what happened. But seeing the people's fear turn into anger, something big is about to happen in Shanghai, and it is impossible not to come out. On the one hand, he soothed the emotions of the people, and on the other hand, he went to the Jiangnan Hotel to find the leading eunuch Zhang Qing, hoping that it would be enough for them to make a handful, stop it as soon as possible, and go to other scourges.

Where did Zhang Qing put this place official in his eyes, and only replied casually: "If you dare to disobey the order, you will be killed!" ”

Governor Sun had good words for a long time, but he got this answer, and he was extremely angry, and he let go: "Tell me as soon as possible, I naturally deserve to die if I disobey the order, but the common people are the common people of the imperial court, if they are forced to rebel, they will be held accountable at that time, and they will not be lost!" Pulling Zhang Qing to the window, Zhang Qing saw that the road outside the glass window was full of people holding stones and wooden sticks, and he couldn't care about being offended, and said dumbfounded: "Why, how can this be?" ”

Sun Ying explained earnestly: "I think my father-in-law should also listen, Wu Zhongmin is fierce." Xu Jie, Xu Ge, once said, 'The villagers are the most unreasonable'! Around the recent times, the officials in this land, every time they call it a ghost country, the cloud 'He has something in the world every day, and he will create it!' 'Because of the decree of the imperial court, it is forbidden to do it here, and people are cunning, they can endure what people can't bear, and people dare not do what they dare to do! Therefore, my experience as an official here is to coax them with a blind eye, and I have never dared to provoke them. ”

Zhang Qing thought about it, but it was the same thing, so he was honest, the situation was finally under control, and he quietly withdrew within two days and went to the next stop in Suzhou. Who knew that good things do not go out and evil things go thousands of miles, and the things that occurred in Shanghai have long been reported by the newspapers in Suzhou, and the citizens organized themselves and waited for the arrival of Zhang Qing's fleet at the wharf.

When he arrived, good fellow, he saw that the dock was densely packed with at least tens of thousands of people. Zhang Qing thought at first that this was welcoming himself, and thought that Suzhou was more sensible than Shanghai, who knew that as soon as the ship approached the shore, he heard the people on the shore clamoring together, flying bricks and stones at him, if he hadn't climbed down in time, he would definitely have been hit.

At this time, he knew that what Sun Ying said was true, Wuzhong was rich and rich, but the people were too strong, where would they dare to enter Suzhou again? So he turned to Wujiang, but the people of Wujiang also gathered to make noise, and the situation was menacing, and then he planned to go to Taicang and Wuxi...... They were all treated in the same way. Zhang Qing never expected that he begged his grandfather and grandmother, and spent a lot of money to get the opportunity to go to Jiangnan, not only did he not become the king and hegemon as expected, but he became a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten, so how could he not be depressed?

But you can't forget it, otherwise you won't let people laugh to death? As soon as you and your subordinates are combined, then go to Nanjing, how can you stay in the capital, there is a yamen and a regimental camp, and the common people will definitely not be able to mess around. At first, it was true, but the dead eunuch didn't know how to restrain himself, and only thought that the people in Nanjing were like the people in Beijing, so they intensified the extortion, and in a month, more than ten people were killed.

In May, more than 1,000 people from Nanjing, who could not bear it anymore, gathered at the entrance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, beat drums to voice injustices, bitterly expound Zhang Qing's various crimes, and demanded that the officials participate in the imperial court and severely punish the eunuchs.

Nandu Yushi Sun Yan said bitterly: "Do you think that we did not impeach this fang? He ordered people to put out the copies of the impeachment of Zhang Qing by the Nanjing officials for several months to be read by all living beings, and there were nearly 100 copies. Everyone was stunned, and he said: "The elders and ministers in the capital also continue to advise, hoping that the emperor can recall Zhang Qing and others to comfort the people in the southeast," sighed heavily and said: "Helpless ......" The latter words stopped, and everyone knew what he was.

"This official is incompetent, and in the years he has been in Nanjing, there has not been a good governance in the common people." Sun Yan's next words made the hearts of the people who were half cold boiled again, and they only heard him say: "I have already written my resignation and am going to scold Zhang Qing, if anyone has this idea, it is okay to go with it, and the responsibility is mine." He scolded fiercely: "No, take the sea, this bird official is not appropriate!" ”

Seeing that Sun Dutang, who had always been serious, actually burst out foul language, everyone cheered, and all followed him, and then turned to Zhang Qing's office, where did Zhang Qing meet them, quickly let one place, the conflict lasted for two hours, the angry Nanjing people gathered more and more, and finally gathered more than 10,000 people, swarming into the office, frightened Zhang Qing to escape the palace, and the eunuchs of the entire Nanjing City did not dare to go out.

When the situation grew to such a state, Wanli still did not want to be comforted, but strictly ordered the Nanjing garrison eunuchs to escort Zhang Qing Zhouquan back to Beijing - Zhang Qing returned to Beijing safely and soundly with the plundered gold, silver and jade silk. Although under pressure, Wanli terminated the plan to select palace maids without gathering the rated number of 300 palace maids. But he actually didn't think that it was his own fault, but he decided that it was because the local officials were working against him, and ordered Jinyiwei to arrest and interrogate the Suzhou prefect Li Shanggen, the Wuxi prefect Qian Shouxun, the magistrate Zhao Wenwei, the Wujiang magistrate Hua Yu, the Taicang magistrate Che Renzhong, and the Nanjing military garrison Feng Yingjing. And Sun Yan, the Southern Governor of the Southern Governor, who directly caused the Nanjing Rebellion, was also escorted into Beijing.

When Sun Yan was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, Wanli asked someone to send a sword over...... He really wanted to take the opportunity to kill this silent nemesis, so he played a clever trick and asked the eunuch who gave him the sword to pass the word: 'Judge yourself.' But when Sun Yan committed suicide, he could deny it again and just give him a sword. Emperor Wanli, who has been known as a prodigy since childhood, has never lacked this kind of self-righteous cleverness.

Who knew that after Sun Yan listened to the commandment, he stretched out his hand.

"What?" The eunuch was a little stunned.

"Since the emperor wants to give me death, he must have an edict." Sun Yan said lightly.

The eunuch couldn't take it out, so he retreated, and then there was no follow-up......

Sun Yan hung the sword at his waist and sat in the cell, sitting and lying down when he wanted to, and no one dared to approach...... Because of him, this is the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor, and killing people will not pay for their lives!

Like, want to scare me? It's also nèn!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun Yan and others were locked up in the edict, the ministers naturally actively rescued, and the cabinet ministers, with the collective retirement as a threat, finally made Wanli agree to release the people, but in the edict sternly expressed, only this once, not an example! If you commit it again, you will not be spared!

The reason why Wanli promised to release him quickly this time was not that he wanted to repair relations with the minister. In fact, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is like a husband and wife who have broken down but cannot be divorced, but they are just living together and doing their own duties. The real enhancement of this pardon was actually his mother, Empress Dowager Li, and the reason why Empress Dowager Li retired for many years to take care of political affairs was because she had grandchildren.

Of course, he is the son of Wanli. In the tenth year of Wanli, in the early morning of August 11, in the Qixiang Palace of the Forbidden City, there was a loud cry of a baby. Concubine Gong Niangniang successfully gave birth to a son, which is also the first son born to Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun who got married in the spring of the sixth year of Wanli, and has been born for four and a half years. Ironically, this Concubine Gong is neither the queen when he got married, nor the two maidens who were knighted later, or even the nine concubines he married the year before last, but a palace maid in the Queen Mother's palace.

But that day, the emperor went to the Queen Mother early in the morning to ask for peace, Xu is the effect of the previous aphrodisiac has not dissipated, he felt a long-lost pillar of optimus, and he was hungry and thirsty early in the morning. It happened that the Queen Mother was worshipping the Buddha that day, so he took a palace maid and vented it next door to his mother's Buddha Hall.

Who knew that things in the world were so nonsense, the main palace lady who married him had not been pregnant for several years in a serious manner, and this palace maid secretly touched the rain and played a meritorious role. Within a few months, her belly was big, and she couldn't hide it, and the Empress Dowager Li finally knew that the palace maid thought that she was going to die, but who knew that the Empress Dowager asked the situation very calmly, and then asked people to compare it with the living notes, and asked people to change her into the clothes of a concubine, and then called the emperor over.

Wanli came, and Empress Dowager Li asked him, but he had done pickling things here. Wanli was a thief and denied it. Empress Dowager Li opened the fold on the inner living note and said, "See for yourself!" "The inner living note is a top secret of the royal family, and a special mute eunuch is responsible for tracking the emperor throughout the whole process and recording the emperor's every move. Its significance is very significant, just like if the emperor has an accident, it is easy to find the person responsible, and like, like now, if there is an accident, it is better to determine whether it is his own species.

Wanli was speechless, so he had to admit it, make her a concubine, and stay with the Queen Mother to have a baby.

Five months later, in the early hours of the morning, the emperor's eldest son fell to the ground. The two queen mothers, who prayed in the Buddhist hall for a night without closing their eyes, immediately cried with joy when they heard that they had a handle. Wanli didn't close his eyes, and he played a horse tag with the eunuch for a night and waited for news. When he heard the good news, he was also relieved, whether as a man or an emperor, he had been looking forward to this son for too long.

The Forbidden City immediately boiled, and jubilant red lanterns were hung everywhere, followed by the sound of firecrackers throughout the Forbidden City. On the tower in the back garden and the five phoenix towers in front of the noon gate, the melodious bell of Ji Yue was played at the same time, announcing the birth of the heir of the Ming Dynasty to the world.
