Chapter 509: The Decisive Battle of the Golden Palace (Next)
The text of the rebellion of the rebel king Zhu Ningxuan!
After a brief silence in the Golden Temple, there was another commotion.
Speaking of this inscription, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty have long heard of it, from ancient times to the present, but all careerists who have a long-term plan to rebel will always have a manuscript to come out, they are not like the peasant army who was forced to revolt as blind and chaotic, the rebellion of careerists is planned step by step, in order to justify the rebellion, the inscription is indispensable.
With Zhu Ningyao's royal status, if he rebels, he must have a text, otherwise he will die.
But the strange thing is that more than half a month after Zhu Ningxiao's rebellion, his inscription has not yet reached the Beijing Division, which makes many Wenchen and military generals in the Beijing Division feel strange, until the officials of the Yamen sent messengers or servants to leave Beijing to inquire in the northwest, and those messengers and domestic servants were all intercepted and killed by Xichang Fanzi outside the city of Beijing, and the ministers finally noticed a trace of unusual meaning.
For the sake of a document, thousands of people and horses in the West Factory were used to block the official road, and even at the expense of killing people to kill people, does Zhu Ningxiao's rebellion have anything to do with Liu Jin?
In the past few days, the rebellion of Ganshan has aroused the speculation of many ministers, and the content of the text has become the most mysterious topic in Beijing.
Who knew that at this moment, Yan Song not only took out the text of Zhu Ningxiao's rebellion, but also bluntly said that Zhu Ningjiao was forced to rebel by Liu Jin. The hall boiled with a bang.
Liu Yu, the secretary of the military department, stood in the court, his face was more ugly than a dead man.
He is the secretary of the military department, and it stands to reason that he should know this document earlier than Yan Song, but the fact is that the squire of the military department got the text, but he is still in the dark and doesn't know anything.
Why didn't Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong send the document to the secretary of the military department, but to the squire of the military department? Why didn't Yan Song mention this matter until today? Why is it so coincidental. Today has become evidence against Liu Jin?
A hint of conspiracy flashed through Liu Yu's mind, who was dancing with long sleeves behind his back and turning the clouds and rain?
In contrast, Liu Jin, who was kneeling outside the hall, was really heartbroken, he knew the content of the Lu Dao inscription, and he knew even more about the consequences of this fateful thing being made public to the court, otherwise he would not have been mad and ordered Xichang Fanzi to intercept it at all costs, but who knew that this thing still fell into the hands of Qin Kan's henchmen today!
"Your Majesty, don't believe him! The old slave was wronged, and the text was fake! It was the ministers of the DPRK and China who maliciously framed it! ”
Liu Jin roared bitterly. The knees on the ground are even ready to move. If it weren't for Yan Song's youth and strength, Liu Jin really wanted to pounce and snatch the text in his hand and crush it and swallow it.
Even Zhu Houzhao in the palace noticed that this sentence was a little unusual, so he twisted his eyebrows and said: "Zhu Ningxiao was forced to rebel by Liu Jin?" What does the text say? ”
Yan Song lowered his head and raised the text in his hand, and said calmly: "The truth and falsehood are all in the text." Please see for yourself. ”
The eunuch on duty looked at Zhu Houzhao's gloomy face. Then he took small steps down and took Yang Yiqing's military report and text. Carefully held it in front of Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth, opened the text of Zhu Ningxiao's rebellion, and just read two lines. Zhu Houzhao's expression suddenly turned red, his teeth were gritted loudly, he raised his head and glanced at Liu Jin who was kneeling outside the hall gate in a complicated manner, and then lowered his head and continued to look.
After hurriedly sweeping the text, Zhu Houzhao suddenly tore the brush with both hands, and said angrily: "Bastard! It's lawless! ”
The ministers were stunned, and they became more and more speculative about the content of the text, and they didn't know whether Zhu Houzhao was scolding Zhu Ningxiao or Liu Jin just now, and everyone couldn't help but look carefully.
Liu Jin knew that something was wrong, knelt outside the hall and knocked his head, and shouted sadly: "Your Majesty Mo Xinwen must be against the king Zhu Ningyan to wronged me!" Since ancient times, there have been many strange reasons for rebelling against the king, how can you believe it? The old slave has been loyal to His Majesty in the past ten years, and has no two thoughts, and the master of ceremonies is also his duty, all in accordance with the will of His Majesty, as for the old slave's new policy to mislead the country, the old slave is even more wronged, and the foreign minister may not know, but the inner treasury under His Majesty has increased to this year, and the silver in the treasury has increased by more than one million taels compared with the previous emperor's years, these are all the old slaves' new policies to increase the mining tax, and the addition of the Huangzhuang and the military households of the guard to open up the wasteland, even the silver taels built by the leopard house under His Majesty, are all allocated by the inner treasury, the old slave dares to ask the Manchu Dynasty Minister, if there is no new policy I implement, When and when can I see the leopard room under His Majesty? Will the household department allocate money to His Majesty? ”
A defense made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military sneer, this Liu Jin avoided the important and light, only said the benefits brought by the new deal to the inner treasury, but did not say how many people were exploited by the new deal to increase the mining tax, and how many people's land was forcibly seized by adding Huangzhuang, if the new deal has been implemented like this, the time for the demise of the Ming Dynasty is not far away.
However, Liu Jin's words made Zhu Houzhao's originally gloomy face suddenly red,
Zhu Ningxiao's inscription originally blamed Liu Jin's new policy for the reason for the rebellion, and cited many facts for comparison, such as how the emperor of the capital division was comfortable and happy, poor and extravagant, how Liu Jin manipulated power and disordered government, and brutalized Zhongliang, and how the border army soldiers were miserable and difficult, and how the vassal king endured humiliation and burdens like walking on thin ice, etc., this kind of inscription that was passed on to the people of the world naturally had to say that his rebellion was a last resort, and how cruel and bad the court was, only aroused the sympathy of the people of the world, and bewitched the people of the world to be dissatisfied with the court. Zhu Ningyao's rebellion is justifiable, and it was also done when Emperor Yongle was martyred.
Originally, Zhu Houzhao was indeed angry with Liu Jin after reading the text, no matter what, these reasons for rebellion are indeed inseparable from Liu Jin, not long ago Zhu Houzhao knew that Liu Jin killed the ministers in order to deal with Qin Kan, and just now the ministers in the palace also took out all kinds of evidence such as Liu Jin's cruelty to Zhongliang, enclosure and self-fertilization, and arrogance of power.
However, after Liu Jin's defense, Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered that the fundamental purpose of Liu Jin's criticized New Deal was for his Zhu Houzhao's internal treasury income, and even the completion of the leopard house that he had been thinking about for a long time was closely related to Liu Jin's new policy.
How can his house slave do evil outside, not for his master?
Zhu Houzhao was already affectionate, but at this moment, his thoughts got into the tip of the horns, and the anger that had been pent up all morning finally burst out: "You all shut up!" Shut up! Zhu Ningxiao's rebellion has been planned for a long time, but in the name of the New Deal, how can this article be trusted? Liu Jin's new policy is my idea, you can only blame me if you want to blame, anyway, now the Ming Dynasty is your courtiers who have the final say, it doesn't matter whether there is an emperor or not, if you want to be held accountable, it is better to remove me as an emperor, how about you replace it with an obedient and obedient emperor? ”
When the ministers heard this, it was serious, so the ministers of the palace hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Zhu Houzhao cried: "I can see it today, you are determined to put Liu Jin to death!" What killed Zhongliang, what Huangzhuang enclosure, what vassal king's writing...... The evidence is well prepared, and you and Zhu Ningxiao have been planning for a long time! Where did Liu Jin attract you so much hatred? Even if you have done something wrong, it is because of your loyalty to me, why do you refuse to let him go? What is Liu Jin's fault, and how can I help him bear it? If you want to kill, you will come to me! ”
The hearts of the ministers sank, and Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others suddenly turned pale.
On the contrary, a hint of ecstasy flashed in Liu Jin's eyes.
Today's ministers are obviously plotting step by step, and the ministers are thinking very carefully, for these ministers who have been through the court for a long time, how to bring down political opponents can be described as their housekeeping skills, in the face of the impeachment of public opinions, and the piles of evidence are obtained, it stands to reason that Liu Jin has no luck.
However, everyone forgets that the current emperor Zhu Houzhao is only a seventeen-year-old boy, seventeen years old is the most rebellious period of life, if Zhu Houzhao is different from ordinary seventeen-year-old boys, that is, since childhood, pampering has made his rebellious heart stronger than others.
Today's ministers' step-by-step impeachment was already very unsuitable for Zhu Houzhao's wishes, Zhu Houzhao has been holding back and retreating, wanting to save Liu Jin's life in this way, but the ministers are pressing step by step, Zhu Houzhao has no way to retreat, but Liu Jin's defense after the most has made Zhu Houzhao's long-accumulated anger rise sharply.
No matter what Liu Jin has done, there is no doubt about his loyalty to me, I am the most noble emperor, why is it difficult to protect a person who is loyal to me?
The complex psychology of Liu Jin's disappointment and guilt, the resentment of the minister, and the pain of the minister's power overriding the monarchy...... Many emotions came to his heart, and Zhu Houzhao finally broke out.
The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention the emperor?
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was forced by the ministers to the opposite side of the direction that everyone expected, but instead he was determined to protect Liu Jin, the ministers were heavy, if Liu Jin could not be defeated today, Liu Jin's crazy revenge in the coming day would not know how fierce it would be, and I don't know how many loyal and good people would become sacrifices under Liu Jin's butcher's knife.
On the contrary, the eunuch henchmen who were originally like ashes seemed to have been injected with a clear spring at this moment, and they all came to life in an instant, and they were all happy and excited.
How could Liu Jin, who was kneeling outside the temple gate, let go of this great opportunity?
Taking advantage of the silence in the hall, Liu Jin knelt outside the threshold and slammed his head, crying sadly: "Your Majesty has a body of ten thousand gold, and he is the co-owner of the country, how can he make enemies with the courtiers for the sake of the old slave?" Although the old slave implemented the new policy in order to make the inner treasury under His Majesty fuller, so that His Majesty had less to worry about and smile more, but the old slave's new policy was used by people with intentions, so that it caused evil results, the old slave did not do a good job for His Majesty is dead, and all the mistakes are the fault of the old slave, the old slave is willing to decide himself in front of the palace, give an explanation to the ministers, Your Majesty, the old slave is not by your side in the future, you have to take care of yourself! ”
After saying that, Liu Jin raised his head, looked left and right, and saw a white marble pillar under the corridor outside the hall gate......
