Song Wenxian entered the courtyard and saw that Lu Donkey and the others were already here, only to know that Chen Xin had a plan at all, and the so-called buying of shops was all nonsense. However, he has already boarded Chen Xin's thief ship, and now he can't leave, and he doesn't dare to go to Jinyiwei to denounce it, otherwise Chen Xin will not let go of him if he talks about the sea trade.

Song Wenxian angrily found a stool to sit on, and Chen Xin laughed with him and accused him. Then he pulled Qin Lufang aside and said to him: "Lufang, the neighborhood here also recognizes you, you have been going out for a few days, and the others have tried not to go out." ”

Qin Lufang nodded and said, "Then I'll go out early in the morning and drink tea near Qipan Street." ”

Chen Xin thought about it and said: "You don't need to go to Qipan Street, it's near Chongwen Gate, where you go on weekdays, you can go." In short, don't do anything different from your usual routine so as not to arouse suspicion. ”

Qin Lufang agreed.

Chen Xin looked calm on the surface, in fact, he was quite afraid of Jinyiwei and Dongchang in his heart, in some of the movies and works he had seen in his later life, these two institutions were too famous, and they were still in the hands of Wei Zhongxian and his gang, that Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun were one of the "Five Biao", and the hundred officials of the Beijing Division talked about the two of them, of course, Yang Lian and Qian Jiazheng were not afraid of death, but Chen Xin was very afraid, so he was careful all the way, and almost used all the methods of the secret front that he knew. I was still a little apprehensive in my heart, so I had to comfort myself, a huge capital, with more than one million people, as long as it was not a door-to-door inventory, I should not be able to find myself.

In the next two days, Chen Xin didn't go out, except for Qin Lufang, several other big men were locked up in a small courtyard, and they didn't even dare to speak loudly, for fear that people outside would know that there were people inside, and Song Wenxian complained to Chen Xin when he was free, just like Xianglin's sister-in-law, Chen Xin was fine anyway, so he should listen to the commentary.

But after Song Wenxian asked about the process, he completely felt that the sky had fallen, Chen Xin had handed in the payment documents in the Wuxuan Division before scolding, and then reported his name, that is to say, everyone in the military department knew who Chen Xin was, which angered the nine thousand years old...... It's over, Song Wenxian can't smile anymore, he used to count on Lord Shangshu that he might not know Chen Xin's identity, but now it seems that everyone knows everything, if Shun Teng checks, he will be difficult to get out of it.

He was angry when he looked at Chen Xin now, obviously he was here to accept the level, what a good thing, he simply finished it and went back, he had to make a bunch of moths, and now he was also burdened.

Qin Lufang went out early on the morning of the 19th to listen to the news, according to his observation on the first day, there were some people from the Soldiers and Horses Division who were investigating in various inns, but there was no fanfare search, Chen Xin was slightly relieved, it seems that Jinyiwei did not dare to make a big move in this sensitive period, and it is estimated that he was worried that Chongzhen would mistakenly think that he was rebelling.

If it is a quiet investigation, with your own care, it should be fine, as long as your life can be saved, just hide and wait for Wei Zhongxian to fall by himself.

When Qin Lufang came back on the 20th, he was excited, he hurriedly closed the door, entered the house and said happily to Chen Xin: "Big brother, you are famous, it has been spread all over the teahouse today, saying that a hundred households surnamed Chen in Shandong scolded Cui Chengxiu in the lobby of the military department, and more than 100 people in the military department could not scold this small hundred households, and finally Cui Chengxiu was so angry that he wanted to resign. ”

Chen Xin laughed and said, "It turns out that I am so powerful." ”

Song Wenxian, who was depressed in the chair, suddenly came to his senses, and also stood up and listened carefully.

"What's more, after the eldest brother scolded Cui Chengxiu in the Ministry of War that day, the news that he was suspected of assassinating Yang Weiyuan also spread, and it happened that fifty percent of the soldiers and horses found the murderer's clothes outside Cui's mansion in Mingyufang. Hearing that the impeachment of him was half a person high, Cui Chengxiu had already defended himself, and resigned again to return to his hometown to defend the system. ”

Chen Xin hurriedly asked, "Did the emperor approve it?" ”

Qin Lufang shook his head and said: "I don't know, there is no news yet, but big brother, you are very famous, now your name has spread all over the capital, everyone praises you for your courage to save Yang Yushi, and angrily reprimands Cui Chengxiu, brave and strategic, must be a loyal and righteous person." ”

Chen Xin smiled faintly and said, "I was originally a loyal person." He looked plain on the outside, but he was actually proud, and he rubbed his hands excitedly after saying that.

Song Wenxian seemed to see hope, and hurriedly pulled Qin Lufang and asked, "You say, everyone is praising Brother Chen?" ”

"Of course, there are all about Brother Chen's commentary."

Song Wenxian opened his mouth, and sighed after being stunned: "Back then, Yang Lian and the others didn't praise everywhere, so what, Brother Chen, you...... Ay. ”

Song Wenxian didn't want to say any more, he didn't sleep for two nights, and every time he closed his eyes, he could see Jinyiwei like a wolf and a tiger coming to his house in Dengzhou to arrest him.

Chen Xin didn't persuade Song Wenxian either, looking at this bad scholar with an anxious face, secretly proud, you bad scholar also have today.

Chen Xin scolded in the lobby of the Ministry of War, there is no such anomaly in the history of the Ming Dynasty, most of them are officials and imperial history, and there are many fights in the court, but with a hundred households who dare to go to the lobby of the Ministry of War to make trouble, he is the first, plus he saved Yang Weiyuan, and his reputation soon spread throughout Beijing, becoming a hot topic in the streets, everyone thinks that when he saved Yang Weiyuan, he found that Cui Chengxiu was referring to people, so out of righteous indignation, he went to the military department in anger and scolded Cui Chengxiu, everyone felt that he was not afraid of power and rape, and he spoke up.

But after that day, he disappeared from everyone's sight, all worried about whether he would be killed by the eunuchs, not only that the big hero was hiding in the east square in fear.

On October 20, one day earlier than in history, Cui Chengxiu defended himself, saying that he had nothing to do with the assassination of Yang Weiyuan, and at the same time resigned on the grounds of returning to his hometown to guard the system. From this time on, Chen Xin and Liu Minyou, the two butterflies, finally began to subtly affect the general trend of history.

On October 21, Chongzhen approved Cui Chengxiu's resignation this time. The two factions seemed to have reached a balance, but a large number of centrists saw the signs of the decline of the eunuch party and sided with the imperial power.

On October 23, Lu Chengyuan impeached Wei Zhongxian;

On October 24, Jia Jichun impeached Wei Zhongxian; …… Guizhou Provincial Imperial History Wu Shangmo asked Cui Chengxiu to be punished again; …… Qian Yuanyu finally made a move and impeached more than ten members of the eunuch party; …… The military department gave permission to impeach Cui Chengxiu and Cui Ningxiu's brothers, and Cui Ningxiu was dismissed; …… Hu Ke gave the matter to the Ministry of Officials, Zhou Yingqiu; …… Gongsheng Qian Jiazheng of Jiaxing County, Zhejiang Province said that Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the East Factory, committed ten crimes;

On October 28, Wei Zhongxian resigned as the eunuch of Dongchang, and Chongzhen approved the placement of the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum, and left Beijing on October 29. The eunuch tree fell and scattered, and the officials on the original comrade record resigned one after another.

With the fall of the eunuch party, Chen Xin's reputation became even louder, and the Donglin party also believed that although he was only a military attaché, he was very upright and selfless.

Chen Xin looked at the information he had summarized in the past few days, Wei Zhongxian's loss of power was so fast, maybe even Chongzhen didn't think that the root of it was the kind of contempt for eunuchs in the hearts of the literati, as long as Wei Zhongxian lost his position slightly, it was the wall that fell down and everyone pushed it, and there was a lack of cohesion among the eunuchs, so to speak, it was not called a party at all, but it was just a group gathered around Wei Zhongxian, entangled with power and interests, more of them were forced by Donglin to vote for Wei Zhongxian, and even Wei Zhongxian himself was forced by Donglin to oppose them. Therefore, the eunuch party has never had a clear political concept, anyway, it is just to fight with Donglin, and then follow the factory ministers to get promoted and make a fortune.

Chen Xin's understanding of Wei Zhongxian must have done a lot of bad things, but it is not that he has not done good things, in some major affairs of the country, Wei Zhongxian did not decide according to personal preferences or group interests, the Apocalypse Dynasty, the early period of continuous loss of Liaoshen and Guangning, Liaodong shape shì precarious, Wei Zhongxian held power for four years, Liaodong front line shape shì gradually stabilized, and the financial situation was much better than the later Chongzhen period.

Chen Xin thinks that the most strange thing is that those historians, living in the country known as the second largest tax pain index in the world, pay all kinds of taxes that they know and don't know, but they think that the scholars and coal bosses of the Ming Dynasty can not pay taxes, and even say that the commercial tax of 1 out of 30 will affect the development of capitalism in the early stage. Chen Xin wanted them to see what the ratio of taxes to income in a year was, what the total amount was, how many people there were, and whether British capitalism had developed again.

The overthrow of the eunuch Donglin party satisfied their sense of moral superiority, but their ability to govern the country was not necessarily better than that of this illiterate hooligan, or rather, worse than Wei Zhongxian.

In any case, this Li Jinzhong's legendary life is finally coming to an end. From the day he left Beijing, the crowd of officials attacked him, Chongzhen then instructed the military department, and casually found a reason: "Wei Zhongxian should have been in the city, with the snow and the public wrongs, and the concubine was lightly descended to Fengyang, and the ministers did not want to change themselves, and dared to kill the animals, with fierce men, surrounded and protected, if they were rebellious, they were very evil, and they ......went to the official flag of the Jinyi Guard."

On the day Wei Zhongxian left Beijing, Chen Xin, who had been hiding for more than ten days, could finally come out of the mountain again, and at this time, he and Yang Weiyuan had become the first heroes to attack the eunuchs. Ironically, both of these men have ill intentions. Yang Weiyuan instructed Wei Zhongxian to attack Cui Chengxiu, while Chen Xin was just trying to gain fame.

A few people understand, but under the tide of public opinion against the eunuchs, no one cares about these small sections, and the fame of these two people has even spread to some other places in the north, of course, the more outrageous it is, Chen Xin has been rumored to have become an image like Zhang Fei and Li Kui.

"It's time to get out of the mountains." Chen Xin rubbed his forehead and hid for more than ten days, the danger finally passed, and he could see the light of day again.

On the sixth day of the 11th month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian hanged himself in the hotel after hearing the news of Jinyiwei's arrival in Fucheng County, and there was only one eunuch Li Chaoqin who hanged himself with him. But he didn't expect that when Chongzhen hanged himself seventeen years later, he was also accompanied by only one eunuch.
