In late April of the first year of the Apocalypse, the summer harvest was approaching.

However, in the center of power of the Ming Dynasty, a storm was brewing. Zhu Youxiao, who had not returned to the palace for more than half a month, immediately summoned Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, after returning to the palace.

At this time, it was night, Tian Ergeng hurriedly entered the palace to meet him, and conspired with Emperor Zhu Youxiao in the palace for nearly half an hour, and Li Jinzhong, the governor of Dongchang, was present.

To clean up the Donglin Party, there must be 'ammunition', Li Jinzhong and Tian Ergeng raised yì to Zhu Youxiao, and turned over the palace removal case to liquidate the Donglin Party.

Zhu Youxiao immediately agreed, and then Li Jinzhongluo listed the most jumping Donglin Party officials in the six palace removal cases, and Zhu Youxiao nodded immediately after reading the list.

"Just arrest people, no torture is required. Not only should people be arrested, but their entire families should be arrested and their assets confiscated. Zhu Youxiao commanded.

"Your Majesty, why is this?" Li Jinzhong asked in confusion, "If they don't have to be tortured, how can they confess?" ”

"I am the Son of Heaven, why do I need them to confess?" Zhu Youxiao said with a contemptuous expression, "What if you confess?" The Donglin Party will still say that you slander. Even if you beat them to death in prison, will these people be afraid? However, if the whole family is questioned together, whoever offends me in the future will have to weigh the fate of the whole family. ”

"The emperor is wise." Tian Ergeng and Li Jinzhong suddenly became enlightened, isn't this the truth? Arrest and kill these Donglin Party, they will instead 'bravely do justice', after all, there are many brainwashed SBs in the Donglin Party, and they feel that they are righteous and awe-inspiring when they do things that mislead the country and the people.

After all, China at this time was still in the period of feudal etiquette. With the "Book of Changes" as the core of the scientific system, the world view is completely different from that of later generations, especially these scholars, they all have learned the Book of Changes, in addition to the examination of the eight shares, there is also a part of the Book of Changes.

People's thinking is completely different from that of later generations, and people in this era want to be famous, and they want a good reputation. Because they believe that as long as their names go down in history and someone remembers them after death, they will gain great credibility in the underworld, which is, in the terminology of later generations, spiritual energy. This kind of spiritual energy can be used by the yin god to survive in the yang world, and in the underworld it is a 'currency' general thing, and if there is enough 'currency', you can buy a good one by reincarnating in the underworld.

This is what the ancients thought and took hold in this era.

As the so-called great selflessness is great selfishness, many literati in order to become famous, death has no intimidating effect on them at all, if they are cut by the emperor can become famous, they even wish to be cut down!

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao naturally would not be stupid to cut down these Donglin parties, and if they were all exempted from punishment, he would just ask them for their guilt and detain them, and not only ask one person for the crime, but also ask the whole family to sit together, cutting off their incense inheritance.

People in this era are thinking about the afterlife when they are alive. If you want to gain the credibility of incense after death, one is to live for a hundred generations, and the other is to burn paper money for future generations.

Paper money is actually just a superficial form, the important thing is that when making paper money, people print the shape of 'copper money', as well as origami ingots, so as to mentally associate with 'money', so as to inject spiritual energy into the paper money, so that it is effective to burn to the underworld.

Why do the Chinese form a clan system?

The essence of the clan system is to obtain a steady stream of incense with high efficiency after death. After the death of a clan man, the tablet enters the ancestral hall and is worshipped by the entire clan. The more prosperous the clan, the more incense there is. This is why the clan has such a powerful lethality in not allowing members to enter the ancestral hall after death, and why the clan favors sons over daughters. Sooner or later, the girls belong to someone else's family, and they can't be provided with incense after their death, so naturally they don't pay attention to it.

The ancestors got incense in the underworld, and they would 'send children' to the clan in the underworld, and spend money to buy some lucky yin spirits in the underworld to reincarnate in the clan, so that the clan was more prosperous, and the members of the clan in the yang world used guò feng shui activities to improve the clan's luck, forming a virtuous cycle system of clan growth.

It doesn't matter if it's true for now, but that's what people in these years think, and that's what they do. The lower and lower status of women in ancient China had a great deal to do with the development and influence of the clan system. Before the development of clans, the status of women in China was actually very high.

Zhu Youxiao didn't kill them, and no one would mourn them all day long while they were still alive. Over time, people may even forget about them. Not only did they not let them live for generations, but they also cut off the incense of their descendants, so I asked them if they were afraid!

This trick can be described as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, which is extremely vicious.

This was a joint arrest operation between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and Tian Ergeng and Li Jinzhong took action immediately when they left the palace in the middle of the night.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies were dispatched overnight, and there was another burst of chickens and dogs.

In the list of arrests, there are six people, 'Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Chaorui, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazong, and Gu Dazhang', that is, the so-called 'Six Gentlemen of Donglin' in the history books of later generations.

These six people are the main force in the palace removal case.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse in history was the first to liquidate this group of people, because they held the Emperor of the Apocalypse hostage to the Wenhua Hall in the palace transfer case.

What is the case of the palace removal case?

In fact, it was Guangzong Zhu Changluo who suddenly hiccuped, and Li Xuanzhi lived in the Qianqing Palace at that time. Li Xuanzhi was Zhu Changluo's favorite woman during his lifetime, and he clearly explained in front of a group of ministers before his death that he wanted to crown Li Xuanzhi as the imperial concubine, but the title of the queen mother of the two palaces has not yet been given, so it has to be postponed for a while.

The emperor died, and Li Xuanzhi, as the only concubine to be sealed by Zhu Changluo during his lifetime, naturally wanted to be the mother of the world and be in charge of the harem, which is also human nature.

At this time, the Donglin Party suddenly jumped out and said that Li Xuanzhi wanted to follow Wu Zetian's example and listen to the government. Then the crown prince Zhu Youxiao was taken hostage to the Wenhua Palace, if Li Xuanzhi really wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the ministers, how could he be robbed of the crown prince by a group of ministers of the Donglin Party without defense?

And the women of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty are all from the pure white families who have no power and powerlessness among the people, Li Xuanzhi has no support from his mother's family, and no civil officials of the court as backup, isn't it funny if he wants to be Wu Zetian?

In history, after Zhu Youxiao was taken hostage to the Wenhua Palace, the Donglin Party began to instigate him to issue an order to expel Li Xuanzhi from the Qianqing Palace and ascend the throne on the same day. But the Emperor of the Apocalypse still has a bit of a brain, and he is unwilling to ascend the throne on the same day, nor does he want to issue an order for Li Xuan to move the palace. The Donglin Party also instigated the Emperor of the Apocalypse, asking him to expel Li Xuanzhi in the name of Li Xuanzhi's abuse of him, and even the murderer who killed his biological mother Wang Cairen.

Under the stalemate between the two sides, the Donglin Party asked Wang Anxian to arrest several eunuchs around Li Xuanshi, saying that they had embezzled the state treasury. Li Xuanzhi was a woman's house, naturally he was frightened, and then Wang An entered the Qianqing Palace to intimidate Li Xuanzhi, and Li Xuanzhi was so frightened that he walked into the cold palace on foot with the eighth princess that day.

Li Xuanshi, who entered the cold palace, encountered another fire and was almost burned to death. Later, there was news in the palace that Li Xuanzhi was going to throw himself into the well, and the first assistant party couldn't stand it, the first emperor's bones were not cold, and the Donglin Party forced the first emperor's beloved woman like this, and as a courtier, he couldn't bear it. Therefore, Fang Congzhecai asked Jia Jichun to jump out to fight against the Donglin Party, because it was controversial, so it was called a 'case'.

The palace transfer case is actually a coup d'état launched by the Donglin Party, the purpose is to control the new monarch, after all, the new monarch is only fourteen years old, as long as the parent Li Xuanzhi is kicked away, it is extremely simple to fool him.

The Donglin Party has no military power, and the coup d'état is just playing with the rules. The so-called Confucianism is the best portrayal of the Donglin Party.

Xiucai encountered soldiers, and it was unreasonable to explain, so Zhu Youxiao began to use violence.

Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others, who were sleeping, were rudely kicked open the door by Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies, and were arrested from the bed.

Not only Yang Lian and the others were arrested, but Jinyiwei and the Dongchang spies immediately rushed to various places overnight to arrest the whole family of Yang Lian and others.
