Chapter 230: The Puppet Emperor 3

In Li Rusong's eyes, Wanli is actually not like some people or historical records, he is a very accomplished emperor, he is just a thing that eats old books.

In August of the twelfth year of Wanli (1584), Shenzong instructed in the recital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to impeach Zhang Juzheng: "Zhang Juzheng slandered his relatives, invaded the king's tomb, restrained the speech officials, and blocked Zhencong. …… Authoritarian and chaotic government, reckless and disloyal to the country. should have broken the coffin and killed the corpse, and thought of serving for many years, so as to avoid pursuing the law. At this time, Zhang Juzheng's family had been raided. The population of Zhangfu, some old and weak women and children were closed in Zhangfu because they did not have time to quit, and more than ten people starved to death; Zhang Juzheng's eldest son, Zhang Jingxiu, left a copy of "Qiu Shilang (橓), Ren Xun Press, Living Yama King!" You also have thoughts of your parents and your wife...... How can he endure being trapped in such a cruel suicide note, hanged himself; Zhang Juzheng's 80-year-old mother still left an empty house and 10 hectares of land at the request of Shen Shixing, a scholar of Shoufu University. Zhang Juzheng probably never imagined that after his death, he would be so ruthlessly punished by the Divine Sect that supported him!

You must know that when Zhang Juzheng was alive, Wanli always respected Zhang Juzheng, and even called him Mr. Zhang. And it was Zhang Juzheng's reform that, to a certain extent, saved the Ming Dynasty, which had gradually decayed and declined because of the Jiajing period, and made it persist for many years.

But Zhang Juzheng made the country rich and the people strong through reform, and countless Li people benefited from it, the country was peaceful, and Liaodong and Jimen were guarded by the Li family father and son and Qi Jiguang, and the Tartars did not dare to knock for several years. But it is precisely this kind of reform for the people that harms the interests of those Qingliu gentry who "serve the country and the people". So that they can not exploit the people as they want, extract profits, and corrode the foundation of the country. These people have always hated Zhang Juzheng and the Jiangling Party, and once Zhang Juzheng died, they immediately came out regardless of it, frantically seized benefits, and framed Zhang Juzheng and the Jiangling Party.

Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing, who succeeded Zhang Juzheng and became scholars of the first auxiliary university, witnessed Zhang Juzheng's favor during his lifetime and the humiliation after his death, so they naturally did not dare to take Zhang Juzheng as an example. Therefore, Shen Shixing, who was once appreciated by Zhang Juzheng for his talent. I know the truth that a companion is like a tiger. Learn the lesson of Zhang Juzheng, on the one hand, obey the emperor, and on the other hand, impress the entire civilian government with sincerity. In a word, Shen Shixing is a typical peacemaker. This was the champion of the forty-first year (1562) of Jiajing from Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture. Just like his word "Rumo". Strive for tranquility. But it is also regarded as the "first rat at both ends". During his tenure, he set two very bad precedents - the chapter recital and the presentation of the lecture notes of the scriptures, for which he was criticized for being responsible for the "absurdity" of the Divine Sect.

In fact, Wanli's personality is more similar to that of his grandfather Jiajing. Typical mean-spirited and unkind, and reciprocated goods, although a little clever, but only the assets of the Chinese, do not have the ability to govern the country and the habit of being diligent in government like Xuanzong and Xiaozong. He is just like Jiajing, constantly playing with imperial techniques, making courtiers fight each other, and he has to sit on the side and watch the play like a referee.

The reason why Wanli was able to win the three major expeditions of Wanli was actually because Wanli relied on the silver accumulated when Zhang Juzheng was alive and the assistance of a group of civil and military officials promoted during the Zhang Juzheng period, which won the Ningxia Campaign, defeated Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and eliminated Yang Yinglong.

But when the three major expeditions were over, the silver accumulated during Zhang Juzheng's period had been exhausted, Wanli did not have the ability to continue to reform and accumulate silver like Zhang Juzheng. He simply continued to play with the imperial arts, content with pleasure, and the country began to gradually move towards the abyss of destruction.

So much so that when the wild boar skin rebelled, in the Battle of Salhu, the Ming army no longer had enough money to pay military salaries, which led to a serious decline in the quality and morale of the soldiers of the crusading army.

"All of this is caused by Wanli, the dog emperor! Exclude dissidents, desolate the country, 'after I die, he will be flooded'! Tsk, Wanli, the dog emperor, is really smart! Jiajing is not as good as you, you will enjoy it much more than Jiajing! Sneering and looking at the information in his hand, Li Rusong had already sentenced Wanli to death in his heart.

"Brother, Concubine Zheng is now honest, our people are already all over King Fugong's bedroom, as long as there is a slight disturbance here, King Fugong and Zheng Guotai will soon fall to the ground" At this time, Monk Greenqin walked into the secret room and said respectfully to Li Rusong.

"Hmm, what about those mad dogs during this time? Still biting? Motioning for Monk Greenqin to sit down, Li Rusong handed him a cup of tea with a smile, and then asked unhurriedly.

"Zhang Siwei has already started to do it, by the way, with the help of my sister-in-law, let's guide some clues to a few officials. Qiu Hu has now been caught by the Jinyi Guard, and this will probably be 'enjoying'! Smiling slightly, Monk Grinqin said.

"Humph! Qiu Lu, a bastard, hasn't he always claimed to be a loyal minister? The storytellers all say that loyal ministers will be punished, and even if the head falls to the ground, they still insist on justice, Qiu Yushi doesn't know if he can hold on? ! With a cold snort, Li Rusong said with a murderous face.

This Qiu Hu is an out-and-out opportunist, when Zhang Juzheng was alive, he was dismissed from office by Zhang Juzheng because he liked empty talk and did not work hard. After that, in order to get back on the ground, he didn't bother Zhang Juzheng, and he had to pretend to be a bitter Qing official, and every time he sent some handwritten calligraphy and paintings, picking up mountains or something.

As a result, as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, this Wang Balamb immediately changed his face, and jumped up and down to suppress and frame Zhang Juzheng and the Jiangling Party, which is worthy of being a standard white-eyed wolf.

For Li Rusong, although Qiu Hu will not cause big trouble in the plan, it is better to kill such a white-eyed wolf as soon as possible, on the one hand, to divert the attention of the ministers, and at the same time to worry less about it in the future.

"Brother, I'm back! The watchers around are gone, it's so dangerous! At this time, the porridge suddenly walked in from the other end of the dark room, sat on the chair sweating profusely, snatched the teacup in the hand of Monk Lingqin, and drank it all before singing out a breath.

"It seems that we have to speed up, continue to lurk like this, Dongchang and Jinyiwei under Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou are not vegetarians. If they find out that we are lurking in the palace, it will be completely finished," Li Rusong frowned slightly, and said after a moment of silence.

In recent days, there have been Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fans, who have come to Ciqing Palace to search for the remaining evidence, which has also affected Li Rusong and others lurking here to a certain extent. These fans and Jinyi guards are all masters of searching for evidence, and if they show a little clues, they will be tightly grasped by these guys, and they want to find out the murderer of Zhu Changluo.

If it weren't for Li Rusong's preparation, sighing that the porridge was resourceful, Zhu Changluo's secret room happened to have a passage directly to Concubine Zheng's bedroom. It is estimated that the whereabouts of these people have been discovered a long time ago, and then they were cut into meat sauce by tens of thousands of imperial army and taken away to receive rewards.

"Well, that's okay, at present, Concubine Zheng Guifei's bedroom, under the actions of my sister-in-law's White Lotus Sect and our falcons, has completely fallen into our hands, and those palace maids and eunuchs have all been replaced by ours. And after I was knocked unconscious, I was all transported out of the palace and temporarily detained in a dark kiln. If you act at the moment, there will be almost no obstacles," Wen Yan sighed and thought for a moment before nodding and saying.

"Okay, let's let Wanli 'fall ill' tonight. Alas, you are fortunate, go to Zhang Siwei and ask him to come forward, if the rest of the matter is not done without him, it will not be possible at all. We have helped him suppress dissident political enemies for so many years, and we still have his father and so many incriminating evidence of his collusion with the Tartars, as long as he throws it out, he can ruin the Zhang family, and he Zhang Siwei is ruined, don't worry that he won't be honest with us as a dog! Nodding, Li Rusong said with a solemn expression.

At this time, it was already ready to be sent on the string, and if it was delayed, it would be easy to be discovered by Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou and others, and at that time there was no other way out except to escape from the capital and go overseas. In that way, everything he did before will be wasted, and the wild boar skin will die, and there will be tiger skins, wild dog skins and other guys jumping out, and finally destroying the Han people and making the lives of the Han people miserable. In the end, the Chinese civilization was left far behind by the Western barbarians, and finally succumbed in front of the strong ships and cannons of the great powers, and was bullied and oppressed by the LR.

"Brothers, whether it will be or not, it's tonight. Remember our dreams? Li Rusong stood up, looked at Monk Lingqin and sighed and said.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then knelt down on one knee and said loudly:

"Promote the majesty of my great man, and let every inch of land illuminated by the sun become the territory of my great man!" (To be continued......)
