Now Wu Shigong is planning to drive the peasant army to the vicinity of Nanjing, but the city of Nanjing is turbulent. It was not that the civil and military forces of Nanjing City saw through Wu Shigong's sinister intentions, but they were arguing about a major event that happened in Nanjing City.

"The 'plague' is quite a word, how can this world be cured? First, the family was strictly imprisoned, and now the money is in trouble, and it is really the relatives who are bitter and the enemies are happy. I once fought with the thief army in Nanyang, and I saw a sea of blood drifting. There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and there is no cooking smoke in a hundred homes. ......" Hou Fangyu was impassioned in the Meilou, and his personal experience of going to the battlefield immediately attracted the attention of the scholars and famous prostitutes present. Speaking of the highlights, those scholars and famous prostitutes kept bursting into cheers.

After coming to Nanjing after the beginning of spring, Hou Fangyu immediately became the most popular person in the Qinhuai River Fengyue Realm with his knowledge and literary talent, young and golden, and Xiulang's appearance, and he also successfully became one of the four princes of the Fushe, and made a very resounding name in the Jiangnan Shizi Circle. And today it is his eyebrow tower banquet for all the children's boots.

"Hou Gongzi said it well!" Gu Hengbo, who was on the side, immediately applauded, "Today's concubine can no longer be gifted by Hou Gongzi." Although the concubine is a lowly person, she also knows loyalty! ”

Gu Hengbo's words immediately aroused even louder cheers from the scholars, who would be unhappy if he could play with the girl in the Meilou for nothing?

Qian Qianyi has been at home for eight years since he fell into Wen Tiren's pit at the debate in the first year of Chongzhen, lost the opportunity to become a university scholar and was driven home.

During these eight years, in addition to the regular travels of literati, Qian Yiqian's main entertainment was to write poetry. And most of these poems are included in his anthology, quoting Mingyue's words back then: "The psychological effect of those poems is obvious, when you are in a good mood, you can be depressed; When you're in a bad mood, you can commit suicide. ”

Anyway, this kind of poetry: I regret it, I want to go into hiding, I lived in vain, and my boring poetry can deceive many female literary youths. For example, those people on the Qinhuai River.

But Qian Yiqian didn't expect it at all. He was so good that he was playing literature and art at home, but the disaster fell from the sky. At the end of the ninth year of Chongzhen, a lawsuit named Zhang Hanru in Changshu, Jiangnan, was negligent to the registered squire, Qian Qianyi, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Qu Shiyun, the original servant.

The detailed experience of Qu Shiyun will not be introduced, if you are interested, you can spend it on your mother. We just need to know that he is a cadre of the Donglin Party, and he has done household affairs.

And the officials who have done the six departments are all people who are familiar with the situation of officials and the movements of the imperial court, so although Qu Shiyun has been dismissed from his post at this time, he has a wide range of contacts. I am also familiar with the privacy of many officials. Under his activities, the appointment and dismissal of many officials were controlled by him, so he faintly became an underground "official secretary".

And this time, the first assistant Wen Tiren is to eliminate these two "generals" of the Donglin Party, and completely crush the Donglin Party, so as to achieve the goal of taking sole control of the government.

However, Wen Tiren is in a high position after all. If you want to do it yourself, it's too embarrassing to spread it. And it's easy to leave the handle. So he decided to borrow a knife to kill. And the knife he borrowed was Zhang Hanru.

Zhang Hanru is a master of the yamen, and he is indeed a small person, so in any case, he has nothing to do with the first assistant of the cabinet, and Master Zhang has been working in the legal profession for a long time. I am very familiar with work such as photographing black bricks, and I enjoy it.

In fact, this is also a fortuitous event. It turned out that there was a wealthy man named Chen Luqian in Changshu, who had turned to Qian Qianyi and Qu Shiqian for a lawsuit over the industry, but these two people looked down on Chen Luqian's character. Instead, it helped the other side of the lawsuit. Therefore, Chen Luqian held a grudge and wanted to take revenge, so he found Zhang Hanru, a stick disciple who specialized in litigation.

Although Zhang Hanru is a grass citizen, he knows the inside story of Korean and Chinese politics very well. He knew that the emperor's greatest trust was Shoufu Wen Tiren, and Wen Tiren's enemy was the Donglin Party, so as long as he complained to the court against Qian Qianyi and Qu Shiyun, the two backbones of Donglin, he would definitely receive miraculous results.

So Master Zhang wrote a statement overnight. On the pleadings, Master Zhang sued Qian Qianyi for 58 counts. Those crimes can be called classics, including embezzlement, bribery, smuggling, collaborating with the enemy, playing with power, forming a party, in short, as long as you can think of it, he wrote everything.

In fact, the gentry of the Ming Dynasty were extremely domineering in the township, especially the squires in the south of the Yangtze River.

But Qian Qianyi didn't panic much, because this statement was written too nonsense, and he rushed home to be ordinary people, what else was corrupt? Play rights? Take control of the government? That's basically nonsense, and a shrewd person like Emperor Chongzhen wouldn't believe it.

But when Wen Tiren saw this document in the cabinet, he was immediately like a treasure. Qian Qianyi is his old rival and the only remaining veteran of the Donglin Party, and the remnants of the Donglin faction in the court have attacked him almost all the time in these years, trying to force him to step down. With this case, it is just a blow to the arrogance of the Donglin Party. Therefore, Wen Tiren immediately drafted an order for the Criminal Department to arrest Qian and Qu and put them in prison for review and conviction.

You must know that the current Emperor Chongzhen is in a hurry for the affairs of the imperial court, who cares about a former official who has been dismissed? Moreover, Qian Yiqian left a bad impression on Emperor Chongzhen, so when Wen Tiren sent the official ticket, Emperor Chongzhen immediately signed it, and he may not even read it. So Qian Yiqian was a little miscalculated this time.

At this time, Qian Yiqian thought that this lawsuit was still a small problem, although he had been idle for eight years, Qian Yiqian was still a bully in the local area, so he thought that it was easy for a little master to make trouble.

However, within a few days, Qian Yiqian welcomed several "guests" from the capital -- several "guests" who came to arrest him. On the way to be escorted, Qian Qianyi figured out: It turned out that the master's state was a lawsuit against the emperor!

After all, Qian Yiqian is one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, and he has a lot of energy. So on the way to the escort, he began to move. On the one hand, after all, the Donglin Party still has a lot of shili in the government and the opposition, and they are even more rampant in the Jiangnan area, so although the decree of the local investigation and investigation has come down, the local officials have deliberately delayed it in order to find a turnaround.

On the other hand, Qian Yiqian used his old relationship between the court and China to make the courtiers intercede for him.

And this case has twists and turns, and the ups and downs are very storytelling. It quickly became a major event that stirred up the court. The process will be described in more detail below.

However, whether it was Wen Tiren or Qian Yiqian, who won and who lost, it was an infighting between the courtiers, which also made the center of gravity of the court change into a dispute between the first and secondary, and completely ignored the two great enemies of the peasant army and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which made the normal government affairs of the court appear for a blank period of up to half a year.

It's really a killing of infighting! (To be continued......)
