Chapter 72: The End of Wei Zhongxian (Part II)
Zhou Shunchang finished reading the recital, stuffed the recital into Li Yongzhen's hand, and said, "Eunuch Temple, go and hand it over to the emperor." ”
Emasculation is a contemptuous term for eunuchs, emasculation describes the process by which they lose their male organs, and the temple makes fun of them for living the same life as monks.
Li Yongzhen's face turned red, and she really wanted to drop the music on his head, but thinking about the consequences, she endured it again.
Li Yongzhen swallowed his anger and held the chapter in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse took the chapter and did not open it, Zhou Shunchang had already read it just now, what is the point of reading it again, do you appreciate Zhou Shunchang's calligraphy?
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was about to open his mouth to mediate, because he was a personal experience and witness of the twenty-four major sins listed by Zhou Shunchang here, and he had the right to speak. But before he could speak, the official Shangshu **Xing knelt down and played: "The minister **Xing impeached Wei Zhongxian for ten major crimes. ”
Without waiting for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to speak, ** Xing unfolded the chapter and read it out loud.
Although Wei Zhongxian didn't know what was going on, he knew that the Donglin Party had already targeted him, so he didn't dare to take over the chapter. Li Yongzhen went down to take the chapter and held it in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
**Xing just finished reading, and Zhou Qiyuan, the right servant, knelt down again and impeached Wei Zhongxian**.
Soon, the cantata flew like snowflakes, piled up with the Dragon Book case of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse patted the half-human-high piece of music and said with a wry smile: "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhou Shunchang said murderously: "Kill Wei Zhongxian, and take the dynasty as a gang!" ”
Many ministers also shouted: "Kill Wei Zhongxian!" Kill Wei Zhongxian! ”
Some ministers had no grievances with Wei Zhongxian, and they didn't want to shout, but when they saw the Donglin Party's many eyes glaring at them, they were afraid of being isolated, so they also shouted.
Not to mention that the magic of the slogan is really great, after a few slogans, they also feel that Wei Zhongxian's crime is unforgivable and must be killed.
There are also those who did not shout slogans, and most of them were ministers who were co-opted by Wei Zhongxian.
These ministers originally thought that Wei Zhongxian would be able to turn evil into good fortune, but now when they see his face like earth, their hearts are sinking, and their hearts are over, they originally thought that they could take refuge in Wei Zhongxian and soar, but they didn't expect that the big tree would fall today, and they would definitely not allow it to go to the court, so they could only go home and farm.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious, what is this, pulling the entire court to force me to make a decision? I finally have a loyal servant, it doesn't matter if you don't like it, you have to kill it, whose world is this Ming world? According to your policy, the rich merchants should not collect taxes, the landlords and gentry should not pay taxes, and all taxes should be put on the heads of the peasants. As soon as the peasants rebelled, the ministers were all innocent, it was all the emperor's fault, and it was all the emperor's fault that the emperor did not cultivate benevolence and virtue, and he wanted to make an edict for his crimes.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious, slapped the dragon book case, and shouted: "Shut up, what a solemn place in the court, how can you be allowed to spill, don't stop quickly." ”
Zhou Shunchang was not afraid, and said: "The emperor killed Wei Zhongxian, and naturally he could calm the anger of the people. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered, "What if I don't kill Wei Zhongxian? ”
Zhou Shunchang said: "If the emperor insists on shielding the villain, the ministers will wait here for the emperor to change his mind." ”
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw the united ministers in the court, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened - after all, he was only a 17-year-old boy, if he lived in the next life, he was just a high school student, where had he seen this kind of formation, how could he be able to defeat those old fritters who had been immersed in officialdom for many years.
Emperor Tianqi's tone softened, and said: "Wei Zhongxian has taken care of me since I was a child, and he has a deep affection, otherwise Wei Zhongxian will give up his position as the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, and no longer supervise Dongchang, but only stay in the palace to take care of me, okay?" ”
Zhou Shunchang shook his head and said, "Loyal and virtuous will not die, and it will be difficult to end." ”
This idiom was originally to celebrate the immortality of his father, and Zhou Shunchang said this, indicating that his determination to kill Wei Zhongxian would not change.
Emperor Apocalypse Wen Yan said: "If you don't let Wei Zhongxian return to his hometown to retire and never be allowed to enter the palace, I can immediately issue an edict." ”
Zhou Shunchang shook his head firmly and said, "Swear to kill Wei Zhongxian, and if you don't achieve your goal, you will never give up." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was silent, and the ministers were also silent, Wei Zhongxian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, wanting to justify himself, and he was afraid of attracting the attention of the Donglin Party, so he was so anxious that his mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out, just like a fish leaving the water.
After being silent for a long time, the ministers of the Donglin Party knelt down together, and the ministers at both ends of the rat hesitated for a while, and then knelt down as well. Li Chunye, Cui Chengxiu, Gu Bingqian and a few other eunuch party members thought that they would be retaliated against, and even if they changed their courts, they would not escape the poisonous hands.
It's a pity that the number of eunuchs is too small, standing there, like grass in the desert, for Wei Zhongxian, it is difficult to quench hunger and thirst.
Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was kneeling in the main hall, he was upset and said, "It's already noon, let's wait for tomorrow's court meeting to discuss it." ”
Ye Xianggao Qi said: "The emperor has made a decision, the Ming Dynasty is in danger, and if you don't get rid of the national thieves, the society will be unsafe." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked stunned and said, "Tomorrow will give you a satisfactory answer, today I am tired." ”
Ye Xianggao knelt down and climbed two steps, and wanted to say something, but heard a broken shout: "Ye Xianggao, do you want to force the palace?" ”
Ye Xianggao looked back, and it turned out to be the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Gu Bingqian, who couldn't help it.
Ye Xianggao was furious and said, "You traitor, fabricating accusations and framing colleagues, now you dare to frame the cabinet assistant?" ”
"As a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, I naturally want to point out the rudeness when I see it. As a cabinet assistant, you only assist the emperor in handling government affairs, how can you force the emperor to make hasty decisions? Besides, the emperor has already preliminarily agreed to your proposal, can't you wait? is so anxious, do you still have the cultivation of important ministers of the court? ”
Ye Xianggao was speechless, turned his head to look at the emperor, and now the emperor took advantage of their lack of attention and slipped into the harem.
Ye Xianggao was annoyed and ashamed, and said, "Do you dare to go to Zuoshunmen with me?" ”
"Don't dare, what?"
"Shame on you!"
"You are ashamed, your life is full of shame."
The two men quarreled in the main hall. Noisy is noisy, but none of them dare to do anything, first, the two of them are old men in their seventies and eighties, whether they win or lose, I am afraid they will have to lose half their lives, and secondly, this is not Zuo Shunmen, this is the Taihe Palace, although the emperor is gone, but fighting here, it is still a loss of honor in front of the king, if this is caught by the imperial history, I am afraid that he will die ugly.
Wei Zhongxian didn't leave, his subordinates fought with the Donglin Party, how could he, a soul figure, sneak away. By the time Li Chunye gave him a secret message and told him to leave quickly, the Donglin Party had already blocked the door to the harem.
Xing smiled: "I want to find the emperor for help, no way." You can now head back to your mansion in Iron Lion Alley and enjoy your last night. ”
Wei Zhongxian lost his soul and left the palace. Looking back at the Forbidden City, I feel that it is very far away from me. All the doors to enter the palace have been blocked by the Donglin Party and the family members they brought with them. It seems that they have learned the lesson of Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian's failure to impeach the eunuch Liu Jin, and they will not allow themselves to meet with the emperor. However, what is the use of meeting with the emperor? The emperor has been controlled by the Donglin Party, even if he pleads, what can the emperor do to save himself?
Sitting in his mansion, Wei Zhongxian felt cold, even though it was still autumn, even though he was wrapped in a thick quilt, he was still shivering.
Is life coming to an end like this? I still have a lot of things to do, the treasure cut by the castration has been redeemed, and it is placed in a secret place, can Wei Honglian find it? When she buries herself, will she put the baby in the coffin with herself, will it be misplaced? The emperor's plan to collect taxes from wealthy merchants may be put on hold, and the controversial mine supervisor may also be forced to recall the capital. Your Majesty, the old slave is incompetent, and I can't accompany you anymore. Zhu Cheng said that he would give himself a grandson, but now he can't see it. I have already made a small gold lock of two or two, and I originally wanted to hang it on my grandson's neck myself, but unfortunately I can't......
Zhu Cheng! Yes, why didn't you think of him and find Zhu Cheng, he will definitely be able to deal with the Donglin Party and save himself from the crisis.
