Chapter 80: The Donglin Party's Rebellion (Part II)
Xu Xianchun didn't seem to see anything, knelt down, and said: "The minister Jinyi Wei commanded the same knowledge Xu Xianchun to meet His Majesty, long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a cold tone, "Xu Xianchun, you tell me in detail about the situation in and out of the city today. ”
Xu Xianchun was determined, although he was a high-ranking official from Sanpin, and he was the deputy commander of the emperor's army, he had never talked to the emperor so closely. He glanced at Zhu Cheng, and now this little guy was talking to Zhu Youzhen casually, and he was not afraid that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would be annoyed.
He told everything about today's life, and when Zhu Cheng killed the family who wanted to pick up the curtain, the Emperor of the Apocalypse praised it loudly, and then turned to Zhu Cheng and asked, "Brother Cheng, why don't you shoot that bastard Yushi to death?" ”
Zhu Cheng smiled bitterly: "At first, I didn't expect the Donglin Party to dare to rebel, I thought it was just a little dispute in the court. If I kill Yushi, then it will be a big problem, and the emperor will have to cause trouble. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked again: "What if the imperial history goes to pick up the curtain?" ”
"A shot stabbed him. Your Majesty, I remember an old saying, when you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it. If you lift the curtain and expose the truth, you will be in big trouble. Instead of waiting for the Donglin Party to be difficult, it is better to eliminate the signs of danger. The world is big, and the emperor's affairs are the greatest, so I will come to the emperor to receive the punishment afterwards. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Cheng, you can do something, I can rest assured." ”
Zhu Cheng said: "The matter is obvious, the Donglin Party has really committed chaos, what should the emperor do now?" ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse gritted his teeth with hatred, slapped the case, and said angrily: "These traitors, I want it, I want ......"
He was about to say a few cruel words, and suddenly remembered that the Donglin Party was all over the government and the opposition, if it was arrested and the court was empty, how would the Ming court still operate?
After thinking about it again, he sat down and sighed: "It's not easy to do, there are so many people, you can't catch them, you can't close them, what should I do?" ”
"They have already started to rebel, will they tolerate it? Do you really have to wait for them to storm the palace and change the dynasty before they do it? ”
"Alas, I saw very clearly at the court meeting this morning, eighty percent of the officials of the Ming Dynasty are Donglin Party, if they are all wiped out, how can they manage the world? It would be nice if it was two or three years later, with Wei Zhongxian's ability, he could at least win over half of the foreign officials, and at that time, there would be no pressure at all to clean up the Donglin Party. ”
Zhu Chengxin said: In history, the death fight between Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party did begin in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, but his sudden appearance made the party struggle between the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party appear in advance.
"This is a difficult problem," Zhu Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "In the past, when Emperor Taizu Gao, there was also a similar case, that is, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong's conspiracy against the case, involving more than 30,000 people, was Emperor Taizu Gao sentenced differently?" At extraordinary times, iron-blooded measures must be used. These Donglin party members are a bunch of silverfish, gnawing at the foundation of the Ming Dynasty all the time, if you don't take this opportunity to take them, how long will you wait? ”
"But there is no one in the court, what should I do?"
"It's easy to do, Emperor Taizu Gao has left an example. At that time, Emperor Taizu Gao suppressed corruption with an iron fist, killed many officials, and sentenced many officials, and many state capitals had no official management. In order to solve the current situation of the shortage of officials in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao increased the number of admission places for the imperial examination on the one hand, and on the other hand, he let many officials involved in minor cases work in flails, working in the government during the day and returning to prison at night. Some officials have even just finished trying a case, and immediately take off their official clothes and stand trial. ”
"Where is the system of such an official?"
"Do they still have the decency? Ah Jian, catch us in the mouth of the spy and serve it to the emperor. ”
Only then did Zhu Youzhen remember his mission to Beijing, and hurriedly took out the confession of Jiannu's spy Abutai from his arms.
While the Emperor of the Apocalypse was watching, Zhu Youzhen introduced the passage with sharp teeth.
Looking at it, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious, and with a force of his hands, he actually tore the confession in half. After tearing it up, he remembered that this was important evidence and could not be destroyed, so he looked at Zhu Youzhen with some apologies and said, "I'm so excited, I accidentally shredded it, is there a backup?" ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at him dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "There is only one copy, but the Jiannu robbers are still locked up in Jingxi Huangzhuang, so it will be good to ask them to write another copy then." Brother Cheng's technique of extorting confessions is very good, it should not be difficult to ......"
Zhu Cheng took out a copy from his arms and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I have already asked someone to transcribe a copy." I knew that the emperor would tear up that copy, so I prepared an extra one. ”
Emperor Tianqi took the confession, handed it to Wei Zhongxian casually, and said: "This matter will be investigated in Dongchang, and it must be investigated carefully, found out, and announced to the world, so that the people of the world can see the behavior of these hypocrites." ”
Wei Zhongxian collected his confession and responded: "The old slave will definitely handle this case as an iron case." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked a little strangely, "How do you know that I will tear up my confession, can you not know the prophet?" ”
"Where, the traitorous behavior of these Donglin Party people, as long as they are bloody Ming people, they will be angry, and the emperor, you are the most bloody Ming people, it's no wonder if you are not angry."
"Oh, you said that I am the most bloody Ming person, not flattering me, right?"
Zhu Cheng said: "The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty do not make peace, do not pay compensation, do not cede land, do not pay tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." All the Ming kings, whether now or in the future, are the most bloody Ming people, and they are all men among men! ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse laughed and said, "Okay, I will also rise up and wipe out the Donglin Party, and I will ask the Jinyi Guard to command Luo Sigong to arrest people." ”
"Your Majesty, can't you?"
"Hey, Zhu Cheng, didn't you say that you want to wipe out the Donglin Party, why are you against it now?"
"The Donglin Party must be arrested, but Luo Sigong is probably not the best candidate."
"How so?"
"This morning, Wei Zhongxian, the commander of the Donglin Factory, urgently summoned Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to discuss the matter of forcing the palace for the Donglin Party, but he refused to go. Moreover, Luo Sigong has a very good reputation in the Donglin Party, and is known as the best commander of the Jinyi Guard since the Ming Dynasty. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious: "Once you enter the Jinyi Guard, you will be the enemy of Shilin for life, if not, how to investigate corrupt officials and catch corrupt officials." Not only does he want the status of Jinyiwei, but also the reputation of Shilin, Luo Sigong has a good plan. Xu Xianchun, from now on, you will succeed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, arrest Luo Sigong and put him in prison, and then carefully examine his collusion with the Donglin Party. However, I heard Emperor Shenzongxian say that Luo Sigong made miraculous contributions in the war to aid Korea and resist the Japanese, so the first must not harm his life, and the second must not involve his family, which can be regarded as the reward of the Ming Dynasty to the ministers. ”
After speaking, the Emperor of the Apocalypse grabbed a brush and brushed down the holy decree, and Wei Zhongxian carefully blew dry the ink, took out the jade seal, and stamped it with a bright red seal.
Xu Xianchun held the holy decree tightly, so excited that he didn't know what to say, although he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but if he wanted to go further, he had to wait for Luo Sigong to die or fall. But Luo Sigong is in good health, and he doesn't know that he will not report to Emperor Taizu Gao until the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, maybe it is possible to consume himself to death first. Who knew that Zhu Cheng drove Luo Sigong away with a few words, and rushed into the edict prison as soon as he hurried. Fortunately, his marriage with Wei Honglian was approved by him, otherwise he would only need to say a few words to deal with himself.
Wei Zhongxian saw that Xu Xianchun was stunned, and reminded: "Commander Xu, don't hurry up and thank you." ”
Xu Xianchun thanked him and was about to leave, Zhu Cheng said: "Let's go over the wall, there are many people in the Donglin Party, you can't rush out." Also, Luo Sigong knows that he will fall, maybe he will jump over the wall in a hurry, you take all the guards away, by the way, leave Wu Huping, and he will help me guard the firecracker. ”
As soon as Xu Xianchun walked to the door, Zhu Cheng stopped him again: "Wait, I'll write you a note, and I'll open it when I'm in trouble." ”
As he spoke, Zhu Cheng grabbed the brush that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had placed on the table and wrote.
The eyes of everyone in the hall were about to fall out, what kind of pen is this, how can you move it casually?
The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't care, and laughed, "Is this a clever plan?" I don't have a good idea. Okay, I'll give one. ”
Saying that, the Emperor of the Apocalypse took out a sachet and put Zhu Cheng's note in it.
------------------
Outside the main hall, the captain of the guards was about to cry, and he was stared at by Wu Huping without blinking, who do you say can stand it. What's even worse is that even when he goes to the toilet, he follows. Is this me spying on you, or are you spying on me? The captain of the guards questioned him, but Wu Huping didn't say a word, just looked at him.
Seeing Xu Xianchun come out, the captain of the guards hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Hearing that he was going out the same way, the captain of the guard hurriedly handed over the fire gun to Wu Huping, and said, "Even if I am afraid of you, the fire gun will be returned to you first, anyway, there is no fire rope, and this gun will not be released." You just stay here and don't follow me anymore, please. ”
In the hall, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked: "Brother Cheng, the Donglin Party has been wiped out, you can always go to the court with me tomorrow." ”
Zhu Cheng shook his hand and said with a wry smile: "The emperor spared me, I'd better wait for the wind to calm down and then come out." Your Majesty, I said that one knife is enough, not to mention that you now have two knives, a knife in Dongchang and a knife in Jinyiwei, which is enough for you to kill in all directions. ”
"Well, then I won't force you. It's too late, you and Ah Jian will stay in the palace and go to bed, you two are still children, and it's not good to stay up late. ”
"Okay, anyway, I'm going to visit Empress Dowager Zheng tomorrow, I haven't seen her for a few days, so I miss her."
"Brother Cheng, I'll go too." Zhu Youzhen also thought of her.
This night, the palace was calm, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse removed the big stone in his heart and rested. However, the Jinyi Wei North Town Fu Division and the South Town Fu Division outside the palace were extremely nervous, preparing for the arrest operation in the early morning of the next day.
