Chapter 43 The Donglin Party Against the Sake of Opposition
Wei Zhongxian has already attracted a lot of ministers, and although it is not enough to compete with the Donglin Party now, he still has the ability to make trouble in the court.
On the same day, the cabinet received a large number of requests to canonize Zheng Guifei as the empress dowager. The whole chapter only expresses one meaning, and canonizes Zheng Guifei as the empress dowager. The reason is that Emperor Shenzongxian and Emperor Guangzongzhen have made great trips, although they are married today, but they have not been canonized as queens for the time being, there is no one in charge of the palace, the inner court is chaotic, and there is no one in the world for two consecutive dynasties, which is a pity. Before Emperor Shenzongxian died, he left an edict to let Guangzong canonize Zheng Guifei as the empress dowager. It's a pity that Guangzong's days of enjoying the country were short, and he returned to heaven before completing the last wish of his ancestors. Today's filial piety touches the heavens, and it should be done according to the order.
The cabinet assistant has gone through three dynasties, and after seeing the ebb and flow of the tide, he has already begun to retreat, and he is noncommittal about these recitals. And Ye Xianggao and Liu Yixiao saw this pile of concerts as high as a hill, several of which were written by Donglin Party members, and they were so angry that they almost smashed the coffee table.
Ye Xianggao said: "These scholars still don't understand why we are reused by the emperor. ”
Liu Yixian echoed: "In the case of fighting for the country, we successfully retained the throne of the crown prince and returned countless edicts of the first emperor, and Gao Feng Liangjie was admired by the world. In the palace transfer case, we led troops to rescue the emperor from the hands of Li Xuanzhi, so that the emperor could succeed to the throne. This pile and one piece of miraculous feats made us stand out from a group of mediocre officials and lay officials. ”
Liu Yixian did not blush and took Zhu Cheng's credit to the head of the Donglin Party.
Ye Xianggao said: "However, as soon as the government was clear, these people got carried away, and they actually wanted to push the enemy in the battle for the country, Zheng Guifei, as the mother of the country, isn't this asking for trouble for themselves?" ”
Fang Congzhe saw that the two of them were so angry that their faces turned red, and they persuaded: "Two, the dispute over the country has passed for many years, the emperor's throne has been consolidated, whether Concubine Zheng Guifei is the empress dowager or not, it has nothing to do with the court situation, so there is no need to be so anxious." ”
Ye Xianggao scolded angrily: "Shut up! Fang Congzhe, in the face of major rights and wrongs, you must have a clear position, and you must not be as muddy as before. ”
Fang Congzhe was recommended by Ye Xianggao to enter the cabinet, and he should have been the second assistant of the cabinet, but Ye Xianggao was appointed in the forty-second year of Wanli and was not reactivated until the first year of the Apocalypse, so now the cabinet is assisted by Fang Congzhe. Although Ye Xianggao's position is under Fang Congzhe, he has the credit for promoting him, and he is arrogant to him.
In fact, the political wisdom of the Donglin Party is not high, and it basically relies on swarming and oppressing people with power, and what power and wisdom are very limited. Since the death of Emperor Wanli, Zhu Cheng and Donglin Party have collided several times, making them cry and laugh. Zhu Cheng sometimes felt that the Donglin Party was so innocent and cute, their behavior was no different from that of children, and God knows how they climbed to such a high position. If it is Zhang Juzheng, the first minister of the Ming Dynasty, who is right with Zhu Cheng, it is estimated that it should be Zhu Cheng who will be eviled.
Ye Xianggao is a veteran of the Donglin Party, and he has a lot of problems in the Donglin Party, he doesn't know how to unite at all, and always pushes his allies to the enemy's front. Although Fang Congzhe said that it was recommended by Ye Xianggao, it was the emperor's decision whether to use it or not. It's annoying enough to put on the face of a benefactor every day, and now it's blaming again, Fang Congzhe got angry in his heart, flipped through the recital for a long time, took out a recital, and said: "Ye Ge Lao, here is a recital against the seal." ”
Ye Xianggao smiled and said, "Daming is a good minister after all." Congzhe, who is on this movement? ”
Fang Congzhe said: "I'm going to be a master anyway, so let this kid Zhu Cheng play with you." ”
Fang Congzhe didn't answer, but just handed the chapter to Ye Xianggao.
Ye Xianggao saw the first line of words on the chapter, his face changed, he threw the chapter, and said, "Hmph, it's actually Zhu Cheng's bastard thing." ”
Zhu Cheng is now a sworn enemy of the Donglin Party. The biggest enemy of the Donglin Party, Zhang Juzheng, was rehabilitated by Zhu Cheng for the emperor. The four major cadres of the Donglin Party were overthrown by Zhu Cheng: Yushifang Kezhuang attacked Zhu Cheng in the court and was sentenced to 100 court rods, and the eunuch with the cane was Li Yongzhen - Zhu Cheng's iron buddy, and he was ordered to go down and "fight with heart". The so-called heartfelt beating is to kill the tortured, and sure enough, when the beating reaches fifty, Fang Kezhuang will be killed, and the board behind it already belongs to the category of whipping corpses. Wang Wenyan instigated Wang An to deceive Zhu Cheng to Zuo Shunmen, and the Donglin Party mobilized to beat Zhu Cheng together, but Zhu Cheng was beaten to the ground. Afterwards, it was found out that Wang Wenyan was the mastermind, and he was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn. Gao Panlong impeached Zhu Cheng to death, but the evidence was insufficient, and he was imprisoned, although the Donglin Party tried its best to rescue him, but the end is probably not much different from Wang Wenyan. Li Sancai was discredited by Zhu Cheng, not only did he have no hope of becoming an official in the court, but he couldn't even stay in his hometown, and there were often villagers pointing fingers when they passed by his door.
Liu Yixiao picked up Zhu Cheng's recital and said, "Why should Ye Ge Lao be angry, if the enemy opposes it, we must unswervingly support it." Since Zhu Cheng is against the seal, then we will support it. Let me take a look at why Zhu Cheng, this kid, opposes the closure of the queen. ”
Liu Yixian carefully studied Zhu Cheng's recital. Zhu Cheng writes a good handwriting, authentic pavilion style, and good writing, so Liu Yixiao reads quickly. After reading it, he slapped the table and said, "I know why Zhu Cheng opposes Concubine Zheng Guifei's seal." ”
Ye Xianggao said: "Why? ”
Liu Yixian said: "I won't talk about the big truths in Zhu Cheng's chapter, anyway, how reasonable it is." I'll just talk about what I saw between the lines, Zhu Cheng is as cunning as a fox, and he doesn't write it explicitly, but smart people can see it at a glance. What he meant was that Concubine Zheng had been coveting the property of the Children's Paradise, but because she had no name, she couldn't intervene, and once she became the master of the harem, the Children's Paradise would be owned by her. Zhu Cheng is asking the emperor for help, probably he thinks that only the emperor can stop the queen. ”
Ye Xiang Gao was overjoyed: "It turns out that once Concubine Zheng becomes the empress dowager, Zhu Cheng will be unlucky. Okay, we will support the seal in the court and let Zheng Guifei and Zhu Cheng go dog-eat-dog. Anyway, now that the emperor's throne is stable, even if Concubine Zheng becomes the empress dowager, she will not have any impact on the court situation. ”
Fang Congzhe listened on the side, did not make a sound, and said in his heart: "These people are really stupid, they were sold by Zhu Cheng, and they also helped him count the money." When Emperor Wanli was alive, Concubine Zheng Guifei did not swallow the children's paradise. After the death of Emperor Wanli, can she still embezzle the assets of the children's paradise in the name of a queen mother who pays lip service but does not come to her? It is clear that Zhu Cheng calculated that you people would oppose his proposal, so he said the opposite, and asked you to take the initiative to persuade the emperor to canonize the empress dowager. ”
Ye Xianggao's IQ is actually not low, but he is in the situation, and the so-called authorities are confused, and they do not realize that this is Zhu Cheng's trick, but are complacent about coming up with a clever plan to repair Zhu Cheng, he said: "Liu Yixiao, you go and inform our people, we will talk about this matter in the evening, don't delay tomorrow's big event." ”
Originally, the meeting place of the Donglin Party was in Gao Panlong's mansion, but since Gao Panlong was arrested and imprisoned, he moved to Ye Xianggao's residence.
As soon as Liu Yixian said that Zhu Cheng opposed the canonization of Concubine Zheng Guifei as the empress dowager, the Donglin Danglin who was present said in unison, Zhu Cheng's recital is all opposed, he opposes it, we will support it, and we must not let Zhu Cheng live comfortably in the court.
Liu Yixiao also wanted to explain why he opposed Zhu Cheng's suggestion, but was stopped by Ye Xianggao with his eyes. Liu Yixian was stunned, and immediately understood that the Donglin Party members at the scene were all opposed for the sake of opposition, but he and Lord Ye understood why. Liu Yixiao and Ye Xianggao had the pleasure of being intellectually far from others at the same time.
Ruan Dacheng is also a member of the Donglin Party, how can this kind of thing be rare for him. After listening to everyone's opinions, Ruan Dacheng was secretly frightened and admired Zhu Cheng's clever calculation. This morning, Zhu Cheng found him and asked him to write to the emperor and ask for Zheng Guifei to be named the empress dowager. He thought that the Donglin Party would resolutely resist this kind of construction, but Zhu Cheng said: "It's okay, just rest assured." In the evening, the Donglin Party must have changed its attitude and turned to support the closure of the queen. He was still bragging about Zhu Cheng, but he didn't expect the prophecy to come true.
The next day, when Zhu Cheng entered the court, he specially greeted Ye Xianggao, and after a pleasantry, he said: "Lord Ye, today we must not let Concubine Zheng Guifei be crowned queen, and the woman will interfere in politics, and there will be endless troubles." ”
Ye Xianggao sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be indignant and said, "Don't worry, we will desperately stop the decision of the sealed queen today." ”
After going to the court, after some prescribed procedures, Ruan Dacheng knelt down and said: "Emperor Shenzongxian left an edict to crown Concubine Zheng Guifei as the queen, but unfortunately Emperor Guangzongzhen's reign was too short and he didn't have time to deal with this matter. The emperor, now that the four seas are clear, he should act in accordance with the edict and crown Zheng Guifei as the empress dowager, in order to honor the world and set an example for the queen. ”
Before the Emperor of the Apocalypse could speak, Zhu Cheng hurriedly stepped out of class and said, "The emperor can't, you must not crown Zheng Guifei as the queen." Zheng Guifei is just a concubine, the first emperor is a big line, she can only be named the imperial concubine, how can she be the queen mother. ”
After speaking, Zhu Cheng turned his head to look at Ye Xianggao, desperately glancing at him.
Ye Xianggao knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, since there is an edict from the previous emperor, he should act in accordance with the edict." ”
The Donglin Party knelt down and shouted in unison: "The ministers ask the emperor to act in an edict and crown Zheng Guifei as the empress dowager, so as to comfort the spirit of the emperor in the sky." ”
Zhu Cheng jumped up and said angrily: "You, you...... Hey! ”
Zhu Cheng didn't wait to retreat and walked away.
When the Donglin Party saw Zhu Cheng deflated, his heart was as sweet as drinking honey, and many people forgot the invisibleness of joy and anger, and smiled.
They wanted to join Zhu Cheng again, saying that he had lost his honor before the monarch and left without permission before he could retreat from the court, but thinking that Zhu Cheng had sharp teeth and sharp mouth, they all fought a cold war, and if they provoked him again, there might not be any good end, so they stopped beating the water dogs. Anyway, in the future, Empress Dowager Zheng will repair Zhu Cheng for the Donglin Party, and she is not in a hurry at this time.
Zhu Cheng naturally did not leave in a negative mood, but went to the palace to find Concubine Zheng Guifei to report the good news, and urged her to fulfill her promise by the way, the time was very tight, and Daming couldn't afford to wait.
