Chapter Ninety-Five: The End of the Donglin Party
After clarifying the truth about the collapse of the hall of the Zongren Mansion, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was no longer interested in chatting with King Qin, and with a wave of his hand, a group of guards immediately stepped forward to deport King Qin from the palace.
"Brother Cheng, today I can be regarded as majestic, and all the Donglin Party has been taken down in one fell swoop," the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile, "The court is a lot quieter." ”
"Then how did the emperor fall on those Donglin parties?"
"The cabinet assistant Ye Xiang Gao and the second assistant Han Yi dismissed their posts, remembering their old age and not being exiled, so that they returned to their hometowns and thought about it behind closed doors. All other Donglin Party members were retained, put in flail to work, and after the personnel of various departments were replenished, they were dismissed or retained according to their ability and the severity of their crimes. ”
"Didn't the Donglin Party people react?"
"Can you still not be noisy? One by one, they wept bitterly, saying that I listened to and believed partially, but after listening to the evidence and the verdict, some Donglin Party members suddenly realized that they bowed their heads and confessed their guilt, and a few jumped out and shouted, saying that death should not be a flail official. Wei Zhongxian asked Jinyiwei to pull them out, push them to the West Market on the spot, and announced that the property of these people would be confiscated and the three clans of these people would be wiped out. Among the people killed, there was one person you know, that is, Guangxi Dao Yushi Youshi Ren. It's ridiculous, he still has a piece of music in his arms, ready to impeach Xu Xianchun. Well, this is it. ”
After speaking, the Emperor of the Apocalypse took a book of music and handed it to Zhu Youcheng. Zhu Youcheng unfolded the recital, read it at a glance and ten lines, and said, "Not bad, not bad." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse regretted it a little, and said: "Brother Cheng, did you see that Youshi Ren was talented from the music, but unfortunately he had been beheaded, and he couldn't be saved." ”
"No, I'm saying the paper is good, thin and dry, and it's best for starting a fire. Ah Jian and I have been hungry for most of the day, so let's eat hot pot and use this to start a fire. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse laughed and hurriedly asked the eunuch to set up the hot pot.
Zhu Youcheng said: "Anyway, I'm happy today, so it's better to invite the Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine, Princess Shouning, and the concubine Ran Xingrang to eat together." ”
The imperial concubine is Dong Li, and Dong Li is also Li Xuanzhi, who was named Concubine Zhuang by the Emperor of the Apocalypse at the beginning of this year.
Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands and said: "Okay, good, there are so many people." By the way, my sister-in-law will also be invited. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and nodded, motioning for Wei Zhongxian to make arrangements.
In a few moments, everyone arrived. Princess Shouning and the concubine Ran Xingrang were happy and thanked Zhu Youcheng for their kindness.
Princess Shouning heard that Zhu Youzhen was appointed as the Zuo Zongren of the Zongren Mansion, managing the princess, the county lord, the county lord and other royal dependents, and increased the amount with her hands, and was glad that this happiness really came, and when she heard that the emperor of the apocalypse said that the princess could move out of the palace and live in the princess's mansion outside the palace, she was even more overjoyed.
The Empress Dowager ate hot pot for the first time, and Zhu Youcheng helped her cook the dishes very intimately. Concubine Li Zhuang kept giving Zhu Youjian cloth vegetables, and he ate his belly round, like a small leather ball. And the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Empress Zhang are naturally you to give me vegetables, and I will give you vegetables, and they are very busy. Princess Shouning and the concubine were busy talking, wanting to make up for the love words that had not been finished for more than ten years.
People are in good spirits when they are happy, and they are less in a thousand glasses of wine when they are confidants. This meal lasted for an hour.
After eating and seeing off the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine, Princess Shouning and the concubine, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Brother Cheng, the cabinet is empty, what should I do?" I originally wanted Ye Xianggao and Han Yi to be kept in flail, but I was afraid that they would pull them back, so I ruthlessly let them go. ”
"Ye Xianggao and Han Yi are the spiritual leaders of the Donglin Party, and they must not stay in the court, otherwise it will be very troublesome. As for the cabinet, although I am not familiar with the people in the court, I think that these two people will definitely have no opinion when they enter the cabinet. One is Gu Bingqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, although this person is not capable, but fortunately, he listens to the emperor's words very much and can implement the emperor's orders. The Ministry of Rites is known as the prime minister, and it is natural for him to enter the cabinet. The other is Sun Chengzong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, although his qualifications are not enough, but his ability should still be enough, and he is the emperor's teacher, and he has the same mind as the emperor. In addition, I also recommend a person, although this person has not been promoted, and is still a showman, but after being promoted by Emperor Shenzong Xian to the people, he showed outstanding internal affairs ability. This person is Yin Wendong from Tianfu. ”
Zhu Youzhen also said: "Wen Donglai was originally my teacher, but after being made an official by Grandpa Shenzong, I was still unhappy, because Teacher Wen's class was very good, second only to Brother Cheng." ”
"Oh, such a person, I want to meet. Now it is an eventful time, there are Jiannu Koubian in Liaodong, and the extravagant Chongmin and An Bangyan in Sichuan have rebelled again, and those who have the ability must use it, regardless of whether he is famous or not. The Emperor of the Apocalypse said firmly, "By the way, what about Donglin Academy?" Do you send someone to seal it up now, or let it go? ”
"Donglin Academy must not be left unattended, but it is not appropriate to seal it down now. The Donglin Party has many supporters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was rashly sealed, and the Donglin Party really dared to incite the people's uprising. It is better to ask Mr. Feng to write a plain story "The Wind of Donglin", expose the façade of the Donglin Party, expose its nature of disaster to the country and the people, and then take over Donglin Academy, renamed Zhongxiao Academy, and cultivate talents loyal to the emperor for the Ming Dynasty. Listening to Mr. Feng, "The Tragedy of the Laundry House" is nearing the end, and it is just right to serialize the next plain story. ”
"Mr. Feng?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked surprised, "Isn't it Feng Menglong?" I've wanted to promote him for a long time, Brother Cheng, you give him to me, and I want to reuse him. ”
Zhu Youzhen pouted and said, "How can the emperor's brother be the same as the emperor's grandfather, who likes to rob my teacher." Grandpa Shenzong snatched my Mr. Wen, and the emperor's brother wanted to snatch my Mr. Feng again. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse touched Zhu Youzhen's head and said, "Brother Zhen, talents are rare." I have too few people on hand right now, you have to help me. ”
Zhu Youcheng persuaded: "Ah Jian, don't be sad, Mr. Feng spreads his wings and flies high, we should be happy for him." I would like to recommend one more person to you, this person's name is Ling Mengchu, a native of Zhejiang, and like Mr. Feng, he is only eight buckets tall. We will send someone to Zhejiang to find it, and at most two months, another teacher will be sent to you. ”
Zhu Youzhen heard that he could find a good teacher again, so he smiled.
"Brother Cheng, you have already learned the Yuan," the Emperor of the Apocalypse said again, "I will take the test in March next year, so you don't have to run around during this time, stay in the capital and review with peace of mind, I will wait for you to connect the six yuan and help me in the court." ”
After discussing for a while, Zhu Youcheng and Zhu Youzhen said goodbye and left, and went back to Zhu's mansion to see Wei Honglian who stayed there. Although someone had been sent to report safety this morning, her mother was worried and didn't see Zhu Youcheng, Wei Honglian was always unsure.
When Wei Honglian saw Zhu Youcheng, her eyes were red, she didn't say anything, she took a bowl of thick pig's feet soup, and forced him to drink it.
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, although Zhu Youcheng filled his stomach in the palace, he had to pinch his nose and drink this bowl of soup. Now, even Zhu Youcheng's belly is round, like a small leather ball.
Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but think that when Wei Honglian married Xu Xianchun, this thick soup would be for him. The fattening effect of the thick soup is particularly good, and Xu Xianchun will soon change from a middle-aged handsome guy to a big fat man. Thinking of Xu Xianchun's fattening appearance, Zhu Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
------------------
Xu Xianchun seemed to want to get fat, and as soon as the matter of the Donglin Party came to an end, he began to propose marriage. When setting the date of the wedding, Wei Zhongxian asked Zhu Youcheng to come to the house, after all, it was his mother, and it was better for him to set the date.
Zhu Youcheng came to the Wei Mansion, and a group of eunuch officials were flattering Wei Zhongxian.
An official said flatteringly: "Father, Lord Xu's marriage to Ling Ai is really a perfect match." ”
Another official chimed in: "Grandpa, Lord Xu and Ling Ai are really a match made in heaven." To be honest, I really didn't have Lord Xu to start quickly, and I was about to ask my grandfather for a favor, but I didn't know that Lord Xu quietly grabbed ahead of me, making me miss the opportunity and beat my chest. ”
An official said: "You don't pee and take pictures, even your virtue is also worthy of being with Miss Wei, is your face as good as Lord Xu's feet?" ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Zhu Youcheng stepped into the door, heard the shameless conversation of the officials, his face turned pale, he snorted heavily, turned around and left.
