Chapter 589: A Little Ammunition

What is Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards Qian Yiqian's self-defense? Didn't even look at it. Therefore, it can be seen how deeply Emperor Chongzhen's dislike for the Donglin Party and Qian Yiqian himself.

The news reached the ears of Qian Yiqian in prison again. It seems that the imperial court is like a sieve, a high wall or something, and it can't hide any news.

But at this time, Qian Yiqian was in a hurry, it was useless for his pig teammates to help, and it was useless to even identify himself, seeing that the ghost head knife was about to be put on his neck. There's no way, the organization doesn't work, so find a teacher.

When Qian Yiqian was a junior at that time, the teacher who admitted him was Sun Chengzong, a predecessor of the Donglin Party.

Sun Chengzong, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, as an emperor, and has a good relationship inside and outside, what is even more rare is that he can still stick to his principles. Even Wei Zhongxian, who was powerful at the time, couldn't do anything about him. Therefore, Sun Chengzong can definitely be called a model of a minister!

But now Sun Chengzong has returned to his hometown for several years, and Emperor Chongzhen has a little heart disease with him, so it may be difficult to speak, and it will even play a counterproductive role in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

Of course, Qian Yiqian also knew this, he didn't fantasize that Sun Chengzong would help directly, but just asked another person to sell Sun Chengzong's face and let him come forward to save him. And that person is Emperor Chongzhen's cronies, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the pen - Cao Huachun.

Weishenme is looking for Cao Huachun? What is the relationship between Qian Yiqian and Cao Huachun? reluctantly said that Qian Yiqian once wrote an article, and this article is not directly related to Cao Huachun, because that article is Wang An's "Epitaph".

Because of the fight with Wei Zhongxian at that time, Wang An was erected as a good eunuch, and after defeating Wei Zhongxian, Cao Huachun and these eunuchs regarded themselves as Wang An's successors. This is first and foremost a matter of political correctness.

And Cao Huachun is a real confidant of Wang An. Let's take a look at this relationship: because Qian Yiqian once helped Wang An write "Epitaph", and Cao Huachun is Wang An's confidant, so for the sake of the dead man's face, he has to help a little. In addition, his teacher Sun Chengzong has a wide face, so he has a lot of face, and he has a little bit of face for the living, and the dead and the living are both pronged, and they must succeed.

It can be seen that the network of relationships in officialdom is everywhere! There is no way to drill a seam out!

Originally, Cao Huachun had the mentality of watching a play. Appreciate the dog-eat-dog between civil officials, because it doesn't matter what the eunuch does. But when Qian Yiqian came over through Sun Chengzong, he still agreed and was ready to help. In addition to Cao Huachun's identity as a eunuch who can compete with Shoufu Wen Tiren, Cao Huachun's help is mainly due to three reasons:

The first is compassion. The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty all studied in the inner study. The mastery and belief in the teachings of the saints are also relatively deep-rooted. Therefore, Cao Huachun was more sympathetic to the gentlemen of the Donglin Party;

The second is to have a conscience. Out of affection for Wang An. In addition, I felt that Wen Tiren's rush to kill was a little too much. So it aroused Cao Huachun's conscience;

The third is not to pay attention. Cao Huachun believes that killing people is not enough. Leave a line for others, and he will see each other in the future. It's no fun to engage in political struggle.

Besides, Cao Huachun thinks that this is a trivial matter, and it is not to reinstate Qian Yiqian, but to let Qian Yiqian save his life.

So Cao Huachun began to move. Don't say it. His energy is indeed quite large, and after a few days of activity, he sent someone to deliver an accurate message to Qian Yiqian: "You can rest assured." ”

At this moment, Qian Yiqian was finally relieved. He began to pack packages to get out of prison, believing that this was a thing of the past. And Cao Huachun also thought that he had done all this. But things are making waves again.

Wen Tiren, that man, is a master who can't rub sand in his eyes. He thought that Qian Qianyi would die, but he didn't expect that after a few days, even Cao Huachun would be tossed in, if it goes on like this, then the matter will be yellow, since it has been done, then go all the way to the dark! So Wen Tiren decided: even Cao Huachun is a whole.

This is also to blame for the great eunuchs of the Chongzhen Dynasty who are too low-key. Like Wang Chengen, he was obsessed with flattering in front of Emperor Chongzhen and didn't care much about the affairs of foreign courts. And Cao Huachun, whether he was in charge of the East Factory or as the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, he followed the principle of rule by inaction, so he didn't even find out about the dialogue after Yuan Chonghuan was summoned by the platform at that time. In other words, if you find out, you won't go to Emperor Chongzhen to tell right and wrong. It was even better to go up and down, and he simply went out to fight. So in this way, it gave Wen Tiren an illusion that those big eunuchs were vulnerable.

In addition, Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun will definitely have a dispute over power between the internal and external ministers, so Wen Tiren decided to simply pull Cao Huachun off the horse and expand his power again. But I don't know what words to use to describe this behavior, I can only say that Wen Tiren is quite stupid!

Anyway, the current Wen Tiren is full of confidence, and he has started the action of reversing Cao. First of all, Wen Tiren first spread the news, saying that Qian Qianyi was partnered with Cao Huachun, and then found a witness and asked him to come forward to testify that Qian Qianyi had bribed Cao Huachun. That means that I was neither aware of nor present at anything that happened during my time off.

In Wen Tiren's opinion, Qian Qianyi is already a commoner, and Cao Huachun, who protects Qian Qianyi, is just a celebrant eunuch, as the first assistant of the cabinet, it is still easy to deal with these two people.

If this is the case, Cao Huachun may not be able to show up for it. Because his act of rescuing Qian Yiqian was mainly out of morality, the gifts he received also belonged to the category of bad rules, not bribery, and he made it clear in front of Emperor Chongzhen. But at this time, Wen Tiren's pig teammates appeared.

Zhang Hanru and Chen Luqian, who first sued Qian Yiqian and Qu Shiyun, were originally small people, and all they wanted was to vent their anger and seek money, but they saw that the situation was favorable to them, and they immediately had to move in, and they had some delusions.

So Zhang Hanru and Chen Luqian did not stop doing anything, and took the opportunity to start some rumors again, saying that the Jiangnan Donglin Party had already had a political plan, and the policy was "money Cao and Wen". Rumors say that Qian and Qu Charen paid off Cao Huachun with huge sums of money to save themselves, while the Donglin Party wanted to bridge the gap with Wen Tiren in order to free Qian Qianyi.

After that, with these rumors, Zhang Hanru and Chen Luqian directly came out to blackmail Qian Qianyi and Qu Shiyun's families, and they had the strength to not give up without filling their pockets.

But when the news reached the imperial court, Cao Huachun was immediately shocked. I didn't expect that I saved people out of moral kindness, but I put myself in a crisis. So Cao Huachun immediately began the general mobilization of eunuchs.

Cao Huachun is not a good stubble at all, and his experience is quite complicated. Cao Huachun had originally been the governor of Dongchang, and after he arrived at the celebrant eunuch, he and the current eunuch Wang Zhixin of Dongchang were iron buddies, except for not prostituting together, they did everything together.

So Cao Huachun ran to Dongchang as soon as possible, and found the iron buddy Wang Zhixin to discuss countermeasures, after all, Wen Tiren is cunning and impeccable, and if you want to completely defeat him, you must find a way. After discussing for a long time, the method is finally there, and it is still necessary to give full play to the expertise of eunuchs who can be convenient and can fan the flames in front of the emperor! So the two took the initiative to ask to see Emperor Chongzhen.

First of all, Cao Huachun confessed what he had done, and Emperor Chongzhen understood this quite well. Ordinary people can understand Cao Huachun's behavior of saving people because of his feelings. Besides, Emperor Chongzhen only had a bad feeling for Qian Yiqian, and he didn't necessarily have to kill Qian Yiqian.

Then Cao Huachun began to describe the abnormal situation in the imperial court. He said: He is just saving people, if Shoufu Wen Tiren is unwilling, at most he will not give himself face, and he will still convict Qian Yiqian. But looking at the current situation, it seems that Cao Huachun is going to be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell. So this question made Cao Huachun puzzled.

So Cao Huachun analyzed: Shoufu Wen Tiren is definitely the one who follows me and the one who goes against me dies. Vainly trying to cover the sky with one hand in the middle of the court. What's even more terrifying is that Wen Tiren has formed a huge shili in the court. What about weishenme? Because Wen Tiren is now on leave at home, if he doesn't shili, then who will put Cao Huachun to death? So Cao Huachun came to a conclusion: Wen Tiren is forming a party for personal gain.

zuihou, Cao Huachun guessed Wen Tiren's intentions again. He said: The current Wen Tiren has formed shili among the civil officials. And this attack on Cao Huachun is not only Cao Huachun's personal matter, but also proves that Wen Tiren wants to extend his tentacles to the inner court. For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen must pay enough attention, the power of this Shoufu is too great, and Emperor Chongzhen's throne will be unstable!

Therefore, anyone can be offended, that is, do not offend the eunuchs. They are too familiar with the emperor's mind, as long as they tell right and wrong, they will definitely touch the emperor's heart.

The same is true of Emperor Chongzhen. He was also moved by Cao Huachun's words. However, Emperor Chongzhen would not listen to one side of the story, so he ordered a strict investigation, and the truth of the matter must be investigated.

And Cao Huachun's action will of course attract Wen Tiren's attention. As a political master, Wen Tiren also immediately confronted him. So he expanded the chessboard again, to prove to Emperor Chongzhen: The Donglin Party has formed a political group that includes civil officials, eunuchs, and military attachés.

So as a key part of it, Wu Shigong was unfortunately on this chessboard. And when the two giants compete, every round of ammunition is precious. Therefore, Wen Tiren sent Xu Meng an urgent letter, asking him to get Wu Shigong to the capital at all costs, and then drowned Wu Shigong with a large number of impeachment recitals.

It should be said that in this war, the power of Wu Shigong's ammunition was almost negligible. But no one expected that this ammunition would suddenly explode. (To be continued......)
