The Cabinet (Part I)

、、、、、、、

Stir up the cabinet

If you want to support the sun and moon for the court, first chase the jackal from the king's side.

I am willing to send a wisp of Changhong blood straight to the gate of heaven to sue the Jade Emperor.

What a masterpiece, what a Wanxiao

No matter how opposed the political positions of the two sides were, Wan Liao's masterpiece poem still made Yuan Dahai deeply shocked.

He can't deny that Wan Liao's poem is very tall, very tall, and even comparable to the "go to the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun", from this poem, he can clearly feel Wan Liao's deep faith. This kind of belief is right or wrong, but the righteousness it expresses is something that Yuan Dahai can never match.

From the different perspectives of both sides, Wan Liao is not wrong, and those who are scrambling to be punished are not wrong, because they all have their own demands, and similarly, Yuan Dahai also thinks that he is not wrong, everything he does is just, perhaps, what is wrong is just this somewhat weird era.

Admiration is admiration, what should be done is still to be done.

Wan Liao died, like the dozens of officials and soldiers, died silently, leaving only the bright red blood in front of the noon gate.

The officials and soldiers who were beaten to death were all beaten to a bloody pulp, and the lower half of their bodies seemed to have been soaked in blood, and the minced flesh, fine bones, and sticky bone marrow were mixed with their clothes, making people vomit.

Even those executioners will seem to collapse one by one, and they don't even have the courage to face the victims, just staring blankly at the torture stick in their hands, and occasionally mechanically wiping off the flesh and blood stuck to the stick with their sleeves and feet.

The crowd had long since dispersed, and the officials and scholars who had read the sages could not bear the choking blood, let alone the living tragedy in front of them, they cried and screamed and scattered in all directions. At the same time as they dispersed, everything that happened in front of the noon gate also spread rapidly.

Yuan Dahai personally put on a coat for Wan Liao's corpse, so he said that it was respect, but it was better to say that he didn't want to see Wan Liao being beaten to pieces again, and he could see Bai Gu's buttocks. As for the others, they did not have this preferential treatment, and under the cold order, the fans numbly stepped forward and dragged the body away from the noon gate.

When people die, it's all over.

Should you be satisfied? Aren't those people with fear and awe in their eyes exactly what they want?

The bodies were dragged away from the noon gate and awaited their families to claim them.

After leaving Lan Guo'an to clean up, Yuan Dahai walked towards the noon gate without looking back, he was going to report what had just happened to Wei Zhongxian, and ask for his support, or rather, to ask for the support of His Majesty the Emperor.

Imperial power is always the best coat, and with this coat, there is no need to be afraid that those Donglin Party people who hold military power will come to the "Qingjun side".

………………

"A thousand years old, a rod is a rod, and a rod is a hundred rods; Killing one person is not enough to exalt his might, killing a hundred people is not enough to shock, and killing anyone who dares to offend the power of a thousand-year-old tiger is the right way to the court."

"Officials and scholars regard the court staff as child's play, and they provoke Dongchang at the exit, and it is not their subordinates who offend, but the thousand-year-old Huwei who would rather kill the wrong person than let it go."

In the Qianqing Palace, Yuan Dahai tried his best to persuade Wei Zhongxian, who was shocked by the news. He constantly expressed the content of his presentation in an impassioned tone, so that Wei Zhongxian's emotions could also be mobilized by him and play the role of hatred and hatred, only in this way could Wei Zhongxian realize the importance of killing those officials who were proud of the court staff, and then not pursue Yuan Dahai's unauthorized actions.

"I'd rather kill the mistake, don't let go, dare to commit a thousand-year-old tiger might, all of them will be killed with a cane, this is a good saying, murderous, there are a few more people like Yuan Qianhu in my generation, so why do the Donglin Party people dare to regard my inner court as a great enemy again and again?"

Wang Tiqian has become Yuan Dahai's biggest supporter, he appreciates Yuan Dahai's murderous energy, in his opinion, murderous energy is yang energy, and what the inner court lacks is this kind of dignified and upright yang energy to kill people privately with conspiracy and trickery, too feminine, success or failure always makes people feel regretful, but this kind of blatant murder can make the inner court more prestigious.

"Everyone has been killed by you, what else is there to say about our family? Can I still kill you and pay for those people's lives? ”。

Wei Zhongxian has always been obedient to Wang Tiqian's words, and when he saw that he agreed with Yuan Dahai, he also nodded, but said: "But the matter is so big and so many people have died, how can the foreign dynasty be willing to rest?" You'd better have to come up with a charter to deal with it. The emperor will be heartbroken, and he must not let the foreign court bother him. After speaking, he cautiously glanced at the harem, and Li Yongzhen and Mrs. Fengsheng were accompanying the emperor.

Wang Tiqian pondered slightly, and said: "There is no need to bother, no matter how much the outer court dares to say more, they will all be killed at the noon gate, so that the civil and military officials will know that the court staff is a method, and you can't try again" After speaking, he glanced at Yuan Dahai and said approvingly: "There are people like Yuan Qianhu who dare to do it, but the inner court does not need to get up, but it is unwise." If the trouble is really fierce, ask the celebrant to draft the decree and press it, and they can't make any noise. ”

Yuan Dahai also said: "Under the power of the tiger, how many people can spare their lives?" As long as the emperor doesn't speak, what can the foreign court do with us? The party members are against Chitose, if they don't kill a few, they just don't know what to do, according to their subordinates, in the future, they should still use thunderbolt means to deal with the party, take one, kill one, risk a pair, kill a pair, kill too much, they will always stop, kill them all, but it is better"

The news that Wan Liao and those officials and scholars were killed with a cane at the noon gate spread very quickly, some people were shocked when they heard it, some people were silent when they heard it, some people were timid when they heard it, and some people scolded it bitterly.

Wan Liao's boss, Wu Dao, a waiter in the Ministry of Works, often cried very much after hearing the bad news, and wrote a poem to mourn him: "I have Bai Jian to succeed you, and you will travel with you." Dan's heart stays in the world, and silent life is better than death. ”

As Wan Liao's colleagues, the Donglin Party members in the Ministry of Industry were angry, and gathered in the lobby of the Ministry of Industry, shouting slogans to seek justice for Wan Liao. Many people from all the ministries heard of it.

And in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the base camp of the Donglin Party, there was also a commotion at this time, and under the anger of the masses, Yang Lian could not stop the imperial historians from taking action.

After Li Yingsheng heard about the death of Wan Liao and dozens of officials and scholars who were not afraid of **, he wept bitterly, and went to "Remembering the Ministers of Death" again like supporting Yang Lian's 24 crimes, and avenged Wan Liao and those innocent people who died in vain. Shuzhong called the court staff no longer, and the morale could not be broken! Wei Zhongxian is a wolf, and Yuan Dahai is embarrassed, embarrassed for treachery, the catastrophe is not far away, and now the emperor is responsible for killing the name of the minister, and the minister is not only wronged, but also deeply worried about the emperor

Gu Dazhang thought that Wei Zhongxian had been exposed to murder and would kill people because of Wan Liao and the officials who were killed with a cane, so he advised Yang to take leave or resign, on the one hand, to avoid the limelight, and on the other hand, he might be able to delay a clear stream disaster.

He persuaded Yang Lian bitterly: "If Yang Gong doesn't go for a day, then Wei Zhongxian will be uneasy for a day, as long as Yang Gong goes, Wei will definitely not dare to be fierce again, so that the disaster can be eased a little."

Yang Lian refused: "I have sent my mother and wife back to my hometown, and I stayed in Beijing alone, that is, I want to fight against Wei Gelding to the end, and now it is at a critical moment in the struggle, there are Ye Zhixuan in the front, Wan Liao and others in the back to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, Zuo Gong is trapped in Dongchang again, at this moment, my generation is even more to throw away his head, spill blood, and fight to the death with Wei Gelding with a heroic righteousness, how can I retreat from the battle, if I abandon everyone and go away, how will the next people see me today"

Yang Lian had already sent his mother and wife back to his hometown of Hubei, and stayed in the capital alone, on the one hand, he wanted to see how far Wei Gelding could go, and on the other hand, he was waiting for news from the inner court and Gao Panlong. But he didn't think of the worst ending, so he wrote two lines of poetry by the Southern Song Dynasty female lyricist Li Qingzhao "Life is also a hero, and death is a ghost male" in the hall to show that his heart has been decided.

"Yang Gong's mind, I don't know, but Wei has sacrificed the butcher's knife, the emperor has not been in the court, the opportunity does not wait for my generation, if Yang Gong is obsessed, I am afraid that the disaster of killing is not far away" Gu Dazhang knew what Yang Lian was waiting for, but Huang Zunsu's departure made him feel hopeless of victory, for Donglin's future plan, it is better to retreat at this time, if it is defeated in one fell swoop, then Donglin will have no chance to resurrect Dongshan, and the Zhengren of the DPRK will also be swept away by Wei taking advantage of the situation, until then, what is the chance

"I haven't settled the account with Wei Zhongxian, either I die or he dies, as long as I don't get dismissed for a day, I will fight with him for a day, not for me personally, but for the sake of the great tomorrow, what the sages have learned, Kong said Chengren, Meng said that there is no fear of righteous death" When he said these words, Yang Lian's attitude was resolute, his expression was awe-inspiring, and everyone could see that everyone was awe-inspired.

Seeing that Yang Lian insisted on refusing to leave, Gu Dazhang had no choice but to make a long salute and said, "Since Yang Gong has put his personal life and death aside, I, Gu Dazhang, have nothing to fear, let us fight with the eunuch thief to the end, it's a big deal to die to serve the country, Wan Liao and others must not die in vain, and ask Yang Gong to lead us to seek justice for Wan Liao."

"That's exactly what I'm going to do."

Yang Lian nodded slightly: "It is up to Master Hu to avenge Wan Xian's grievances, and go to the cabinet with you to put pressure on Ye Han and the others, forcing them to come forward to solve the problem, so that my generation will also be relieved a little." And I sit in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, contact people from all sides, and wait for tomorrow when the court will be in trouble, the emperor can not go to court for one day, and it is okay to not go to court for two days, but I am afraid that it will not be for three days, as long as the emperor goes to court, my generation can get rid of thieves for the country. ”

Seeing that Yang Lian was so sure of the emperor's last dynasty, Gu Dazhang and the others were shocked.

"You guys are going to go their separate ways, and today we must always ask the cabinet to come forward, and we must not make them shrinking turtles again" Yang Lian hated Ye Xianggao and Han Yi for being treacherous, and wanted to take this opportunity to let them be criticized again.

"Okay, Da Hong and listen to me in the courtyard."

Gu Dazhang and others felt that this method was feasible, and immediately asked Yu Shi Hu Liangji to also go up to Wan Xian to complain and denounce Wei Zhongxian.

Hu Liangji had long been filled with righteous indignation, and when he got this task, he immediately went to the court, and first asked: "Does the emperor really think that people are not afraid of words?" ”。 Then he quoted the "Da Ming Law", pointing out that "the law, non-rebellious ten evils have no such way to die", in the end of the sparse he asserted that Wei Zhongxian is today's Liu Jin, Yuan Dahai and Dongchang are even more abusive and evil, if not severely punished, the hundred officials are cold.

After Hu Liangji sent out the recital, he and Gu Dazhang, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Zongjian and others led more than 40 people from the Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate and the six ministries to the cabinet to make suggestions, proposing that in the future, whenever there is a holy decree of the court staff, the cabinet should return it on the spot, refuse to carry it out, and emphasize that this is the power of the cabinet.

Ye Xianggao, the first assistant on duty in the cabinet, and Han Yi, the second assistant, couldn't dodge, and were blocked in the cabinet by Hu Liangji and others. The reaction of these two people made everyone even more angry, and more and more officials rushed to hear the news, and in a short time, there were nearly 200 officials from the six ministries gathered in the cabinet, and the momentum was so great that it alarmed the inner court, and the eunuchs had already reported to Wei Zhongxian urgently.

………

Wei Zhongxian, who was discussing with Yuan Dahai and Wang Tiqian, heard that the Donglin Party was making trouble in the cabinet and asked that the court staff should not be opened again in the future, and he couldn't help but scold angrily: "These villains, but the board did not hit their butts, but now I want to try it not because this court staff is not to make it murderous, but not to make it enough, but to make it fierce, how can these party members not be afraid"

was extremely angry, and angrily ordered Yuan Dahai: "You immediately take people to the cabinet and arrest those troublemakers for our family, we want to see if their butts are hard, or our sticks are hard."

Yuan Dahai was about to do it again when he heard it, and this would be against the big fish, not Wan Liao's gang of small fish and shrimp, he couldn't help but be happy, and was busy getting the order to get people, but was stopped by Wang Tiqian, and persuaded Wei Zhongxian: "The dozens of people killed with the rod before were just petty officials, and those who read people without merit will kill them, and they will be killed if they are killed, it doesn't matter." But now the group of people in the cabinet are high-ranking officials, all of them are the backbone pioneers of Donglin, and there are Ye Xianggao and Han Yi here, so they can easily send someone to take down the court staff, Ye Han will definitely obstruct it, if they take it hard, they are afraid that the two of them will immediately enter the palace to see the emperor, and if they don't take it, their reputation will be damaged in Chitose. Therefore, it is better to deal with it properly, and we must not be passive. ”

"What does the prince mean?" Wei Zhongxian habitually touched his chin, but he had no beard.

Wang Tiqian thought for a while and said: "I think it might as well be the same as last year's noisy department lobby, call the people below to make trouble, and don't take people, just make a fuss." ”

Last year, Wei Zhongxian asked the inner court to send hundreds of eunuchs to the lobby of the Ministry of Industry to make trouble, and the effect was also very good, so after listening to Wang Tiqian's words, he immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, the party is making trouble in the cabinet, how can my inner court not do the same." ”

After a pause, he asked Wang Tiqian: "Who do you call?" ”

Wang Tiqian squinted and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Liang Dong can." ”

Wei Zhongxian also felt that Liang Dong was suitable, so he instructed Yuan Dahai: "Okay, Dahai, you quickly go to the celebrant to find Liang's father-in-law, and ask him to lead some people to the cabinet with you to make trouble. ”

"Subordinates understand"

Yuan Dahai hurriedly led the order to the celebrant to find Liang Dong, and when he heard that Wei Zhongxian wanted to take someone to the cabinet to make trouble, Liang Dong laughed, and casually ordered Shang Bao Supervisor, Shang Shan Supervisor, Imperial Supervisor, and all the eunuchs who were not in charge of the eunuchs to gather in the cabinet, and then go to the cabinet with him.
