Chapter 80: The Donglin Party's Rebellion (I)
Wei Zhongxian rushed into the dormitory in a few steps and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old slave has come to see you." ”
Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youzhen also followed. Xu Xianchun, Wu Huping, Chen Guoqi and other brocade guards guarded the outside of the dormitory and did not enter.
Wu Huping was close to the captain of the guards, staring at him without blinking, looking at him as hairy, if it wasn't for his duty, he would almost have to return Zhu Cheng's firearm to Wu Huping.
In the dormitory, the Emperor of the Apocalypse thought that he had heard it wrong, and when he looked at it, Wei Zhongxian rushed in with tears on his face.
Wei Zhongxian knelt in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse with a "plop", hugged his thighs and cried bitterly.
This is not Wei Zhongxian's play, he and the Emperor of the Apocalypse are like father and son, he was bullied, and when he met a relative who could be the master, he was relaxed, and he couldn't stop crying.
Emperor Tianqi's eyes turned red, and he helped Wei Zhongxian up, wanting to persuade him, but his tears also flowed. Zhu Youzhen saw his brother crying, knowing that his brother was being bullied, he burst into tears and rushed up to hug his brother.
The three of them hugged their heads and cried, Zhu Cheng was in a dilemma, so he squeezed in and cried, his tear ducts were not so good; Watching them cry outside the circle is even more troublesome, firstly, three men crying bitterly, which is really not very elegant, and secondly, no matter which one of them is hairy, he can't bear it.
Zhu Cheng wanted to count the ants on the ground, but the eunuch on duty was too diligent, and the ground was swept clean, and there was not even a single ant. In desperation, he had no choice but to walk to the corner with his hands behind his back to study classical Chinese palace-style architecture.
Emperor Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian cried for a long time, and now a small head was squeezed into the middle, and if you look closely, it is Zhu Youzhen.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was happy, he and Wei Zhongxian had the same fate and pity, and cried together, what are you doing with a little kid squeezing in?
The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked, "Ah Zhan, you are here, is Brother Cheng here?" ”
Zhu Youzhen wiped his hazy teary eyes, looked around, found Zhu Cheng who was admiring the column in the corner, and pointed his finger.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse saw that Zhu Cheng was calm and calm, and knew that he had a lot of ideas, so he asked: "Brother Cheng, you probably already know what happened to you, you say, what should I do?" ”
"I was sent by Gonggong Wei to Huangzhuang to invite me, and I had already asked all about the matter on the way. I don't know what the emperor thinks of the Donglin Party's eagerness to harm Father-in-law Wei? ”
"Needless to say, it's just an attempt to snatch power away from me. At present, the inspection and appointment of officials below the third grade are basically controlled by the Donglin Party, and it is extremely difficult for me to promote an official. Some time ago, Feng Menglong, who serialized the flat talk "The Tragedy of the Laundry Yard" in the "Di Bao" Supplement, I felt that he had a special talent in educating the people, and if I wanted to put him in the Ministry of Rites, I didn't have to be a high-ranking official, just give him a seven-grade official. But when the Donglin Party heard this, it was another concert and another petition, so I had no choice but to give up. I only have the right to appoint and dismiss officials above the third rank in my hands, and I can't control the government at all, so I want to figure out how to influence the foreign dynasty a little. The Donglin Party was in trouble this time, ostensibly to deal with Wei Banban, but in fact it was against me. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse pointed out the essence of the matter sharply, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is a smart man, but his personality is a little cowardly.
"In that case, why doesn't the emperor follow Emperor Wu Zongyi's example?"
"Are you saying that Emperor Wu Zongyi protected Liu Jin and chased Liu Jian and Xie Qian?"
"Emperor Shengming, I have sent Gonggong Wei to His Majesty, and every qiē is like that day more than a hundred years ago......"
"Can I? Those courtiers ...... like wolves"
"The sky and the earth are big, and the emperor is the biggest. Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian were the three outstanding cabinet elders of the Ming Dynasty, and they did not win against Emperor Wu Zongyi when they were tied together. The Donglin Party is just a bunch of treacherous villains who can't do good things and bad things can't do well, can't the emperor even deal with these scum? ”
"I'm still a little empty in my heart, otherwise, you can go with me."
"A murderous knife, one is enough. Gonggong Wei is the murderous knife in the emperor's hand, and the minister is only willing to be the feather fan that His Majesty shakes gently. ”
Zhu Cheng's meaning is very clear, he is unwilling to do this kind of hateful thing, hiding behind the emperor to come up with bad ideas, or braving bad water, he is very happy. This kind of thing, let's let Gonggong Wei do it, anyway, he is already a god and a ghost, and it doesn't matter if he does a few things that hurt heaven and reason.
Wei Zhongxian interjected: "Your Majesty, tomorrow the old slave will go to the palace with you to cheer for the emperor." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was happy: "You still have the idea of hiding tomorrow, you will die." If you hide in the sky, those Donglin Party people will also take you down and take you to the Golden Palace. ”
"Hehe, isn't that what the old slave said, there is no intention of hiding, absolutely not."
"Brother Cheng, are you really not going to go to court with me tomorrow?"
"Really. His Majesty once said that I was quite hated, so I won't go there to pull hatred. ”
"Alas, I'm still a little worried, those Donglin Party people can do everything. I sent several groups of eunuchs to Xuanwei Zhongxian to enter the palace, but there is no news so far, and I don't know if he was detained by the Donglin Party......"
Zhu Cheng's eyebrows jumped and he asked, "Father-in-law Wei, have you seen the eunuch sent by the emperor?" ”
"No, if you see it, will I call you to the capital?"
"Father-in-law Wei, please call in the stewards of the imperial horse eunuchs who are patrolling today."
Wei Zhongxian knew that Zhu Cheng never did useless things, and although he didn't understand what his intentions were, he still went out to find the eunuch who led the patrol today.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned and asked, "Brother Cheng, what are you doing with the patrolling eunuch?" ”
Zhu Cheng said: "If the eunuch sent by His Majesty is not frightened away by the Donglin Party, but is detained by the Donglin Party, this is a shocking case - rebellion!" ”
"It's not enough to rebel, I know that the Donglin Party is enthusiastic about power, corruption and degeneration, but they are pretentious and high-minded, and they will never do such a rebellious thing as rebellion."
"Blocking the palace, blockading Beijing, detaining angels, and leading the crowd to force the palace, as long as one of these four articles is committed, it is a rebellion. The Donglin Party committed all four crimes, what is it if it is not a rebellion? ”
The angel Zhu Cheng said is the abbreviation of the messenger sent by the Son of Heaven, that is, the eunuch sent by the emperor to pass the decree, not the winged birdman as legend in later generations.
"Bold! How did the Donglin Party do such a thing? Zhu Cheng, are you telling the truth? ”
Zhu Cheng truthfully told the Emperor of the Apocalypse what the Donglin Party had done.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious, his fists clenched and creaked, and he shouted, "The Donglin Party is so crazy? ”
"Heaven wants him to perish, and he must first go mad. The Donglin Party thought that it had learned the lesson of Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian's failure to impeach Liu Jin, and did not want to repeat what happened back then. But they don't want to think about it, these three people are the three great people of the Ming Dynasty, didn't the three of them think of this question back then? It's just that they don't want to control Liu Jin, but they can't control it. Donglin Party ......"
Before Zhu Cheng's words were finished, Wei Zhongxian brought someone in.
"Your Majesty, this is the steward on duty today - Tu Wenfu, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal."
"Tu Wenfu, I came to ask you, where are the five eunuchs who sent out today?"
"The slaves and maids can see clearly, they were detained in Wenyuan Pavilion by Ye Xianggao and others."
With a "snap", the Emperor of the Apocalypse slapped his palm on the table, Tu Wenfu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled, kowtowing like pounding garlic, although he didn't know what he had done, but it was always right to beg for mercy first. Wei Zhongxian looked at the emperor's hands distressedly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him rub his hands.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse shook Wei Zhongxian's hand away and asked, "Wei Zhongxian, is the situation today the same as what Zhu Cheng said?" ”
Now it's Wei Zhongxian's turn to cry, you and I are immortals, I was looking for Tu Wenfu when you were talking, where should I listen to you.
Zhu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and whispered what he had just reported to the emperor to Wei Zhongxian again.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Zhu Cheng said is indeed true. Jinyiwei commanded Tongzhi Xu Xianchun to go out of the city at noon today, and when he entered and exited the city, he was left in trouble by the Guangxi Provincial Imperial Shi Duojia. He's outside now, do you want to announce him in and confront him? ”
"Xuan!"
Wei Zhongxian walked to the door of the dormitory and said loudly: "Xuanjin Yiwei commanded Xu Xianchun to see him-"
When Wei Zhongxian took Tu Wenfu into the hall just now, the situation changed abruptly, and he guessed that he could not only escape the difficulties, but even turn defeat into victory, and clean up the Donglin Party members who tried to take their lives in vain.
Wei Zhongxian took Xu Xianchun into the main hall. No matter how stupid Tu Wenfu is, he also knows that the emperor is not angry with himself, so he got up, touched the bag on his head, and wanted to cry without tears, this is to recruit who to provoke whom, he worked duty, and he got a meat bag inexplicably, and he couldn't find someone to claim compensation, after all, no one told him to kowtow.
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard Wei Zhongxian's loud voice, he smiled unconsciously and said, "Wei Companion, I still like to see that you are very energetic, and you will be so energetic every day in the future." ”
Wei Zhongxian's tears flowed out at once, and he choked up and said, "Old slave...... Old Slave ...... Do your best, the emperor, the old slave is willing to accompany the emperor to create a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"You old thing, why do you cry at every turn, how embarrassing it is for people to see." The Emperor of the Apocalypse rolled up his sleeves, and the suspicious light in the corners of his eyes disappeared.
