Chapter 140: Qingjun's side
Han Kuang, the new cabinet down payment.
He was a typical Donglin Party man.
He hated the eunuchs, discriminated against internal officials, and despised imperial power. He only cares about his own interests, other people, other things, whether they are dead or alive is not in his eyes.
This was the second night after Su Fan left the capital for Guanwai, and more than a dozen people gathered at Han Kuang's mansion.
They were all members of the Donglin Party, and they were trembling at this time by the joint efforts of Wei Zhongxian and Chongzhen.
Han Kuang sat on the top, turned the wrench on his thumb, and closed his eyes to recuperate. It seems that it is indifferent to the sudden change in the direction of the wind in the government and the opposition.
He sat steadily, but others were unstable.
Fang Kezhuang couldn't help it, and said, "Lord Han, you have something to say, Wei Zhongxian's butcher's knife is about to fall on our heads!"
Han Kuang still turned his wrench with his eyes closed, but he turned more urgently.
Hui Shiyang also became impatient, got up and walked around the hall, and said, "Lord Han, there are more than a dozen of us, and there is a big family behind us. If something happens. But it's not just us, the heads that fell to the ground, I can't tell!"
The others also cried out for help: "Lord Han, what should I do?
The wrench on Han Kuang's thumb turned more and more urgently, obviously not calm in his heart.
He couldn't figure out why the situation had suddenly turned out to be the way it was.
Originally, it seemed that he was about to completely overthrow the eunuch party, and he could also use the eunuch party to bite and kill all his political enemies. Since then, above the court, there is the world of the Donglin Party, and even the emperor has to be at the mercy of him.
But for some reason, the wind direction suddenly reversed, but the Donglin Party was about to be uprooted?
This evil wind was about to burn on his head, and he naturally didn't want to sit and wait for death. Not speaking at this time is to put pressure on these people so that they do not hesitate after they have made their own decisions.
"Lord Han, hurry up and pay attention!"
Seeing that the fire was almost the same, Han Kuang suddenly opened his eyes, blazing brightly, and glanced at everyone.
Everyone in the hall was already staring at Han Kuang, waiting for his decision, but when they saw him suddenly open his eyes, there seemed to be two rays of light shooting out of his eyes, and they couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"Lord Han, but there is a way?"
Han Kuang looked at everyone in the hall and finally spoke: "Everyone, this time the emperor and Wei Zhongxian have joined forces, I'm afraid they will wipe me out!"
Everyone in the hall changed color: "How is this good?"
Han Kuang ignored it and continued: "This time, everyone here, including me, I'm afraid they are all in a catastrophe!"
Fang Kezhuang couldn't help it, and said: "Why did Lord Han say this? Could it be that the emperor dared to risk the condemnation of the world and slaughter us and others? Isn't he afraid of the leisurely mouth of the people in the world?"
Han Kuang turned his gaze to him and said, "In the past two days, how many of my fellow villagers have been executed for no reason? Have you seen that the emperor has any scruples? If he had the slightest scruples, he would not have killed people without even announcing the charges!"
Fang Kezhuang thought of his colleagues who had been killed by Wei Zhongxian in the past two days, and he was terrified.
You must know that in the past, when Wei Zhongxian was in power, if he wanted to kill someone, he had to work hard to frame and list the charges. Which is like now, directly killed without explanation. This made the entire government and the opposition frightened.
"Aren't they afraid of the Manchu civil and military rebellion?"
However, how did they know that Wei Zhongxian had seen the immortal Su Fan, and he was full of confidence in his heart, where would he care what other people thought, and wished that more people would jump out, so that he could kill happily!
In his eyes, every good thing in this Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs.
When he was in power, he knelt and licked all kinds of things, and after losing power, he rushed to fall into the well, that is, to kill everyone, that is all as it should be!
And Chongzhen learned from Su Fan about the future performance of the Donglin Party, where would he care, and he turned a blind eye.
Fang Kezhuang looked at Han Kuang and said, "Lord Han, don't sell Guan Zi anymore, what should I do?
"Yes, Lord Han, just say it!"
Han Kuang took a deep breath, and after the next words were spoken, he couldn't take them back.
He looked around at everyone again and said, "The reason why Wei Zhongxian dared to kill Zhongliang like us unscrupulously is because they think we are weak and can be bullied!"
"The puppet was angry, and he had to splatter five steps of blood. What's more, I'm waiting?"
When everyone heard this, they seemed to have an understanding, and their faces turned pale instantly.
Hui Shiyang's breathing became short, sweat was faintly oozing from his head, and he stammered, "Lord Han...... You mean ......" rebellion, but you can't say it anyway.
Han Kuang said: "That's right! If Wei Zhongxian doesn't know how powerful my fellow Donglin villagers are, they won't know about convergence, and we will die unexpectedly!"
After Han Kuang finished speaking, he didn't make a sound, just stared at everyone.
For a moment, there was silence in the hall, only the heavy gasps of the crowd.
None of the people present were fools, and they were all clear about the unfinished meaning of Han Kuang's words. Although there is no mention of the emperor, the meaning is already obvious.
Although the butcher's knife is about to fall on their heads at this time, rebellion is something that most people have never thought of.
Han Kuang saw that everyone was hesitating, and glanced at Fang Kezhuang.
Fang Kezhuang comprehended, suddenly stood up, and said loudly: "Since Wei Zhongxian doesn't give me a way to live, then I can't be restrained, it's a big deal to fight for this life, I also want to clear the king's side, get rid of Wei Zhongxian, a great traitor who has never been seen in the ages, and return the world to a bright future!"
"Qingjun side!"
The eyes of the people who were hesitating suddenly lit up.
That's right! We are on the side of the Qing monarch, not a rebellion!
As long as you get rid of Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch, won't everything be solved?
At that time, without Wei Zhongxian's butcher's knife, the emperor will just be a toothless tiger, and we will not have the final say!
Hui Shiyang immediately said: "That's right, Qingjun's side! Now the emperor was deceived by Wei Gelding, and raised a butcher's knife against the Manchu Dynasty Zhongliang. Only by getting rid of Wei Zhongxian can we return the world to prosperity!"
Someone opened his mouth and echoed: "Qingjun side!"
The rest of the people also spoke: "Qingjun side!"
Han Kuang looked at the people in the hall who were shouting loudly on Qingjun's side, turning his fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.
Fang Kezhuang waved his hand, and a servant hurriedly came and presented pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the stakes are very high, and we must not be guarded against. For the sake of the lives of all of you here, I hope that you can leave your names here and draw a charge. ”
Torches suddenly lit up outside the hall, and the shadows were full of people, each with a long knife pinned to his waist.
As soon as everyone looked at this posture, they knew that if they didn't sign, they would not be able to get out of this Han Mansion today.
They stepped forward and began to sign.
The hall gradually became quiet again, and everyone who had finished signing looked at Han Kuang again.
Although the slogan on the side of Qingjun was shouted, it still depends on what Han Kuang says about how it is clear.
Han Kuang turned his wrench, sighed, and said, "We are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, although we have the heart to hoe and rape, but we have no power to hoe and rape. Only by inviting people of insight from the people to contribute money and efforts can we eradicate the cancer of the eunuch party!"
Everyone looked at each other and said, "What Lord Han said is extremely true. Please also specify how to do it. ”
The Donglin Party is the spokesperson of those big businessmen on the southeast coast, and most of them themselves are Jiangnan people. They all know who the so-called people of insight refer to.
It's just that on this Qingjun's side, they don't know which step they want to achieve, and it depends on what Han Kuang says.
