Gao Panlong came back, and when Yuan Dahai entered the palace with the confession of "Donglin Point General" and ** Xing to see Wei Zhongxian, Gao Panlong had already rushed back to Beijing. As soon as he entered the city, the carriage and horse went straight to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he did not even go back to his own home, and after arriving at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, after the people got out of the car, they went straight to Yang Lianyuan's duty room.

Although Gao Panlong is not in Beijing, he has been reported to the big and small things that have happened in the capital in the past few days, and he has secretly discussed with Yang Lian before leaving Beijing. After learning that ** Xing and Zuo Guangdou had been imprisoned, and Wei Zhongxian dispatched Dongchang's minions to kill the officials indiscriminately, he knew that the time had come, and he could no longer delay, so he rushed back to the capital overnight.

Anxious to see Yang Lian, he hurried to the door of Yang Lian's duty room in three steps and two steps, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of Yang Lian's duty room, and saw that Yang Lian and Wei Dazhong and Yuan Hua were discussing the matter, and stopped to listen, and found that what they were discussing was not the matter of Shangshu's impeachment of Wei Biao and Zuo Guangdou in prison, but the matter of Li Kuilong, the Shaanxi minister, trying to overturn the case.

"Wasn't Li Kuilong relegated to Shaanxi? Why is Da Hong talking about him? Gao Panlong walked into the house with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Cun, you're finally back!"

Hearing Gao Panlong's familiar voice, Yang Lian was overjoyed, hurriedly got up to greet the door, pulled Gao Panlong to sit in his seat, and then poured a cup of herbal tea for Gao Panlong. Wei Dazhong and Yuan Huazhong saw Gao Panlong, and they were also in good spirits, and they each stepped forward to salute Gao. Gao Panlong is the founder of Donglin Academy, and Gu Xiancheng is also known as "Gao Gu", one of the elders of Donglin, Wei Dazhong and Yuan Huazhong are both small characters in front of him, and they are all protégés. Yang Lian and Gao Panlong called each other in the same year, and the two had similar temperaments and had a very good personal relationship. Don't look at Yang Lian's daily life, but many times, he is still willing to exchange opinions with people, and the person who can usually communicate with Yang Lian is Gao Panlong. Zuo Guangdou can also have a few heart-to-heart conversations with Yang Lian, but it is not as important as Gao Panlong in Yang Lian's mind.

Counting up, Yang Lian is only in his early forties, but Gao Panlong is in his sixties, and the age difference between the two is one round, but the affection of brothers and brothers is far inferior to brothers, and they should be real year-old friends.

"Brother Cun has worked hard all the way, first drink a cup of tea to moisten his throat and relieve fatigue." Yang Lian respectfully handed the tea to Gao Panlong.

Gao Panlong was also not polite, took the tea bowl into his hand, and said: "I don't care, it's important, I already know everything in Beijing, and I have contacted everything you have to do, but what's going on with this Li Kuilong?" ”

Gao Panlong, a person who does things, has always considered all aspects completely, does not miss a point, and is quite capable of presiding over the overall situation. On the way, he was ready to deal with it after returning to Beijing, but Li Kuilong's matter was not in his imagination, so he was anxious to know what was going on, and then he thought about whether this matter would have an impact on the emasculation operation. Yang Lian knew his character, and immediately told him about Li Kuilong's affairs in detail.

Li Kuilong turned over the old case, when he was instigated by Wei Zhongxian to impeach Wang An, causing Wang An to be sent to Nanhaizi to serve hard labor, and then died tragically. Zhou Jiamo, who was the secretary of the ministry at the time, was a member of the Donglin Party, and was annoyed that Li Kuilong had framed Donglin's biggest ally in the inner court, so he transferred Li Kuilong to Shaanxi as punishment. Li lived in Shaanxi for three years, lived a hard life, and wanted to be transferred back to the capital, so he sent his family to Beijing many times to beg Wei Zhongxian to transfer him back to the capital. Wei Zhongxian thought that he was talented, but he still degraded Shaanxi because of his own affairs, so he asked Li Yongzhen to draw up a holy decree and asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to retransfer Li Kuilong back to his original post. This decree came from the palace at noon.

Wei Zhongxian thought that Zuo Guangdou was now in Dongchang Prison, Gao Panlong left Beijing on business, and there was only one Yang Lian in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he transferred Li Kuilong with the emperor's decree, Yang Lian would be busy dealing with himself, and he would not make more trouble about Li Kuilong. didn't want to, but after listening to the holy decree, Yang Lian said to the eunuch who came to announce the decree without saying a word, "This edict will never accept it." ”

According to the system, although the emperor has the right to appoint and dismiss officials, the chief officials of various ministries have the right to refute it, and what Yang Lian does is the right to refute the central decree, which is the same as the power of the cabinet to refute the celebrant and approve the red.

After Yang Lian roughly told Gao Panlong about the matter, he said indignantly: "If Li Kuilong turns the game, won't Wang An sink to the bottom of the sea unjustly, and there will never be a day of snow?" If such traitors can stand on the court again, what face will I have to see the prince after my death?! If it weren't for Wang An, I was afraid that he would only be a seven-grade petty official today, how could he have today's status, so these words were indeed Yang Lian's honest words, and they were not half false.

Wei Dazhong also looked unfair, and scolded hatefully: "Li Kuilong is extremely bad! This Wang Ba Lamb is the first Taoist official who is attached to Wei Gelding, and his influence is extremely bad, and he can be regarded as losing the face of our Ming scholars! Saying that, he arched his hand towards Yang Lian: "Da Hong, since you have refuted the central order, you simply don't do it, let's draw up a recital, list his Li Kuilong's crimes, and reprimand him and tell him to pick up his tail and be a man!" also let Wei Zhongxian know that it was not his turn to point fingers from the Metropolitan Procuratorate! ”

Hearing Wei Dazhong's words, Yuan Huazhong suddenly became energetic and shouted: "Just reprimand him, it's too cheap bastard!" In my opinion, it is better to dismiss Li Kuilong for the crime of colluding with internal officials and plotting to overturn the case, and tell him to not even be able to handle the affairs of Shaanxi, and go home! ”

When Wei Dazhong heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's not enough to just scold him, you have to make him unable to even be an official!" ”

When Yang Lian heard this, he also agreed, if he could really do this, he would indeed be able to breathe a bad breath in his heart. Echoed: "It's okay! I'll wait to beat the dog, but I won't look at his master's face! Li Kuilong took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, thinking that Wei Zhongxian could protect him, but we wanted to beat him to death with a stick, so that the world could see whether he was capable of Wei Gelding, or whether we Donglin had the ability! ”

Gao Panlong sat aside, seeing that Yang Lian and Wei Dazhong had already decided, after a little thought, Li Kuilong had made a bad start for the officials, and it was not too much to punish him, so he secretly allowed Yang Lian their decision.

After talking about Li Kuilong, it is time to cut to the chase, Gao Panlong hesitated, or glanced at Yang Lian with his eyes, hesitated, and said: "Da Hong, your twenty-four crimes are now known to the world, and everyone is happy, but I think about it on the road, I always feel that something is wrong, do you think you can slow down the impeachment a little and press it for a while?" ”

Yang Lian was stunned, he didn't expect that Gao Panlong would persuade himself to stop after he came back, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Song Shu has already been submitted to the palace, how can I slow down a little?" Even if I want to stop, how can Wei Zhongxian sit still and wait for death, now is the time when the arrow is on the string, how can I not send it? If I don't send it, how will the world think of me? What do those people with lofty ideals who died to get rid of castrations think of us? ”

Seeing that Yang Lian misunderstood what he meant, Gao Panlong hurriedly said: "I'm not saying that Wei Zhongxian will not be impeached, I mean that some of your twenty-four sins are not very appropriate. ”

Yang Lian said disapprovingly: "Where is there something inappropriate?" Wan Liao once told me before his death that he had seen Wei Gelding build a cemetery behind Biyun Temple in Xiangshan, which was as large as an imperial mausoleum. There was only one monument erected in front of the emperor's mausoleum, and Wei Eunuch actually erected two monuments. The ancestral prince Yingdi must not exceed ninety steps, while Wei Gelding's Yingdi is covered for several miles, and it is brilliant. He is lawless, showing that his status is below one person and above a hundred officials! Based on this alone, it is also light to condemn him to death, let alone others? ”

Yuan Huazhong also interjected: "Now Wei Gelding has reached out of the palace to interfere in the government and take over the lawsuit. There was a talented man named Zhang Shikui in Liangxiang Township on the outskirts of Beijing, who found that a coal merchant surnamed Liu was wantonly mining coal in a kiln around his family's cemetery, so he dissuaded him on the grounds of 'hurting his grave'. This Liu is a relative of Liu Rong, an important person under Wei Gelding who is responsible for reading this chapter and writing an edict on the Dongchang incident, and after Wei Gelding heard about this, he put Zhang Xiucai to death on the charge of obstructing the opening of the mine. There is also a list in this Yang Gong's recital, and there is no falsehood. ”

Wei Dazhong grabbed it and said: "Now this Wei eunuch has abused his power, and he has reached the point where he only knows that there is Wei in Kyoto and does not know that there is an emperor!" Whenever there is an urgent need to do something in the court, Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei in the cabinet will reply, 'I want to talk to the inside'; if the matter fails, I will reply that 'the inside is unwilling.'" You say that this big tomorrow won't become a person surnamed Wei? There is also a strange thing, there is a concubine in the palace, surnamed Li, who gave birth to the second daughter of the emperor, and once in the bed, she interceded for the disgraced Concubine Fan Hui. Only a month after Concubine Fan gave birth to her son, the emperor was frightened to death by the sound of the royal cat in the palace, and Concubine Fan inevitably complained a few words, so she fell out of favor. When the Hakka family heard that Concubine Li Cheng interceded for Concubine Fan, they conspired with Wei Eunuch to falsely pass on the holy decree, put Concubine Li in the cold palace, and cut off food and drink. Fortunately, Concubine Li had prepared and hid food for half a month in advance, so she was not starved to death. Seeing that the plan failed, Houke Wei abolished Concubine Li as a palace maid and forced her to move from Changchun Palace to Qianxi Sisuo. This thing is also conclusive, it is from the palace, and there will be no falsehood! ”

Gao Panlong listened to Yang Lian and Wei Dazhong talk endlessly about Wei Zhongxian's crimes, and his heart was also indignant, but when he heard Yang Lian talk about what happened to the harem concubine, he had other ideas and persuaded: "These palace secrets, hearsay has a lot of components, if Dahong is sparse, it is better not to talk about or talk less about such things, because these things are easy to give people a handle!" If the emperor asks and we can't testify, wouldn't we be lifting a stone to shoot ourselves in the foot? So my opinion is that the previous 24 sins should be reduced and handed over tomorrow, and the focus should still be on the major events such as Wei Eunuch's chaos and mismanagement of the country, so that others can't find faults. ”
