Chapter 230: Donglin Ambition

"Your Majesty, the grass people have been wronged......"

In the end, it was more than a dozen landlords and wealthy gentry who were arraigned, and these families knelt on the ground and cried as soon as they came up, calling out that they were wronged, on the grounds that their masters were fooled by the Donglin Party, not to mention that they were really wronged.

"Lord Ruan, what do you think?" Zhu Jian looked at Ruan Dacheng and asked.

"The matter is already very clear, there are so many witnesses to testify that the Donglin Party colluded with thieves to ambush and kill the officials and soldiers, intending to rebel, the crime is unforgivable, beheaded!" Ruan Dacheng stood up, looked around at the people in the audience, coughed lightly, and then loudly said his own opinions and suggestions.

In fact, he knew in his heart that it was true that the Donglin Party dared to ambush the independent battalion of the Royal Guards in order to destroy those criminal evidence, and whether the collusion with the thieves was true has yet to be verified, but he certainly has no courage to rebel, if he really wants to force the Son of Heaven to abdicate and support a puppet emperor, he doesn't need such a radical way, he can scold the stinky emperor and force him to abdicate and make way for Xian.

However, he and the Donglin Party have long been on the same page, and they will never die, so it is rare to encounter such a great opportunity, how can they miss it? Even if he spoke with a clear conscience, he didn't feel a little guilty, he waited too long to sit on the throne of the first assistant of the cabinet, and overthrew all the bigwigs of the Donglin Party.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

Most of these ministers are from the Ruan Jiangnan faction and the Imperial Party, and a few are neutral wall-riding factions, knowing how to judge the situation, even if they know that there are many doubts in this case, but the Son of Heaven and Ruan Dacheng have made it clear that they want to kill the Donglin Party, and if they don't express their position, they will not have a good life in the future, and everyone will push the wall down.

"Chop off the heads of these black-hearted officials."

In the crowd of onlookers, I don't know who shouted and followed someone to respond, one, two, three...... Ten...... Twenty ...... Fifty ......

Many people may have been affected or stimulated, and they also raised their arms and shouted, and the venue was filled with shouts of killing, like rolling scorching thunder, splitting the sky.

Zhu Jian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and Song Xiance, who was standing on the side, exchanged a meaningful look, and then asked the eunuch to read out the results of the confiscation of the property of the bigwigs of the Donglin Party, which was exactly the same as the data announced by the Zhang Bang, which aroused the people's anger more and more, and the scolding of dog officials, corrupt officials, and vampires rang out.

In the end, he randomly picked out the account book of the Fan family from a large pile of account books of the eight families and read out more than a dozen pages, the contents of which were all about how much silver was given to a certain official on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, and also read out some private letters exchanged between the eight families and officials, as well as letters in contact with the high-level of the Jinjun outside the Guanwai, most of these letters are true, and some are forged.

As for the eight major criminals who were escorted on the road, the evidence is conclusive, there is no need for a retrial, and they can be executed on the spot, which can save a lot of trouble and time.

Qian Qianyi and other Donglin Party bigwigs were arrested and imprisoned in Jinyiwei's edict prison. Jin Yiwei did not interrogate them, did not torture them, every day good food, good drinks, the gloomy cell was even cleaned, and there were sheets and bedding, which in Jin Yiwei's edict, it was like enjoying five-star treatment, unprecedented.

Qian Qianyi and the others are still a little uneasy, they estimate that the interception and killing of the independent battalion of the Royal Guards has failed, this kind of headless thing, they will not admit it if they are killed, it has been discussed before, there is a certain big man who is willing to sacrifice himself for the great cause of Donglin, and carries all the black pots, which makes them both moved and admired, and promises to take good care of the family of the guy who carries the pot.

They were completely cut off from the outside world, and they didn't know the slightest news outside, let alone that the outside had turned upside down, and they were still encouraging each other, discussing that they must toss and stir up trouble after being released from prison, forcing the emperor to admit his mistake and apologize, so as to relieve the hatred of being imprisoned.

Of course, it is not all bad to enter the edict of Jinyiwei, as long as you can still walk out with high spirits, it is enough to make the unmath officials envious and hateful, and they believe that they will be fine, and that little faint king can't help them at all.

The founding ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang was wise and martial, far-sighted, racking his brains for his own descendants to be able to sit firmly in the country, and set all kinds of rules, these rules are really not clear, when the emperor is strong, the rules are good, the emperor is weak, these rules are going to die, not to mention that the imperial power is weakened, but also greatly promotes the arrogance and distorted style of the court officials, to scold the Son of Heaven, pull out the dragon's beard, and be proud of the court staff, you have not experienced these things, you are embarrassed to say that you are an official in the court.

This is one of the big killers that a group of Donglin Party bigwigs rely on, there are as many as thirty-six or seven of them, of which more than 20 are in high positions, not to mention that Xiao Dujun does not dare to cut off their heads, and even does not dare to dismiss the officials, as long as Xiao Dujun is not afraid that the official departments will not be able to operate normally, just give it a try, this is one of the killing weapons they rely on.

The most powerful weapon of mass murder is public opinion, as long as they ascend to the heights and shout, the students of the world will definitely respond, and then fool the people to follow up and make trouble, see how you Xiao Dujun parryed? Hum.

"Accept it, don't you think that little faint monarch is suppressing our Donglin Party everywhere?"

The more everyone chatted, the more excited they became, and in the excitement of chatting, a Donglin boss suddenly lowered his voice and whispered a word to Qian Qianyi, who was sitting next to him.

"Huh?"

Qian Qianyi was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of his words, stroked his long beard and nodded, he had already been aware of this, but there was no way, he was suppressed too much by Wei Zhongxian before, some people didn't want to be disciplined for their own selfish interests, and voted for Wei Zhongxian as a traitor, and finally retribution, and was regarded as a eunuch who cut off his head or took off his official position.

I thought that Wei Zhongxian had fallen, and the Donglin Party had no opponents, and could stand alone and control the court, but I didn't expect to be secretly suppressed by Xiao Duanjun, and also supported the Jiangnan faction of Ruan Dacheng, the sworn enemy, and used the Jiangnan faction to balance the Donglin Party.

However, the situation is not optimistic, in the long run, I eliminate the enemy, the Donglin Party really has the possibility of being suppressed by the Jiangnan faction, he can't figure it out, whether Xiao Dujun took the wrong medicine or has his brain in water, why is the Donglin Party so unpleasant?

This question, except for Zhu Jian himself, no one knows the answer, Qian Qianyi and others can't figure it out if they want to break their heads, they simply don't think about it, they want to solve this big trouble once and for all, they can only force the palace, force Xiao Dujun to abdicate and make way for Xian, and then support an obedient puppet emperor, so that the Donglin Party can have hope.

Since someone has brought up this topic, it is necessary to pay attention to it, seriously discuss all kinds of details, and the big guys are in high spirits, and they are discussing in a low voice which king of Fan has a cowardly personality and is suitable for being an obedient puppet and so on......
