Chapter 82: A Crisis in the Imperial Court

This whole chain of evidence is incomparably clear.

Qian Shisheng and Wen Zhenmeng had weak legs and feet, and even collapsed directly on the main hall.

They finally figured out where the biggest hole in their plan was.

They should have slaughtered that Zhang Run in advance, and then directly planted this matter in the hands of Wei Zhongxian.

It's a seamless plan.

It's a pity they didn't have the opportunity to start all over again.

Qian Shisheng suddenly shuddered again, as if he had just figured out at this time that this matter would bring cruel consequences.

He quickly straightened his position and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong! The minister knows that he is wrong! ”

Weichen was also confused for a while, so he did such a thing, and the ministers were willing to resign from their official positions. Please let your majesty let your ministers live! ”

When these words were finished, Qian Shisheng was already in tears.

The ones over there are also kowtowing desperately.

If others see that they don't know what's going on, they really have to give them a sympathetic look.

Zhu Youxiao really can't understand, this is a Donglin Party member who has been studying hard for ten years, why is he so stupid?

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, except for the last Emperor Chongzhen, most of the other Ming emperors could basically play with these civil officials.

In the struggle between the monarch and the ministers, it can basically end with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty winning a complete victory.

Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty occasionally messes up this matter, such as the change of seizing the door or something......

Zhu Youxiao couldn't hide how much he fought, and he decided that after he retired from the dynasty today, he would definitely send more people to guard Zhu Youzhen.

He will never allow these Donglin Party ministers to have any more contact with Zhu Youzhen.

The past does not forget the teacher of the future!

When Zhu Youxiao saw Qian Shisheng and Wen Zhenmeng, and even the ministers of the same party of the other two people, there was already a bit of disdain in his eyes.

"You still have one thing that you haven't figured out yet, you are wrong, but the fault is not that you slandered Wei Zhongxian, nor that you wanted to swallow this Xishan coal mine, but that you committed the crime of defrauding the king."

"When you started doing this, I already reminded you that this is the crime of deception."

"As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I still have some reminders for you, and it can be regarded as the end of benevolence."

"Now that all these things have come out, you people will naturally not be able to escape the law, and you two have harmed your relatives."

"Someone will drag down all these criminals and raid their homes ......"

Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted to say that he would punish the Nine Clans, but these two or three hundred officials, if they wanted to punish the Nine Clans, at least one or two hundred thousand people would lose their heads.

Zhu Youxiao still felt pity in the end, "Punish the three clans!" ”。

A large number of Dongchang and Jinyiwei began to act.

Grain Baht

One after another official eunuchs in the capital were broken into by these Dongchang and Jinyi guards, and one after another officials' families were arrested and left.

If it weren't for the fact that Jinyiwei and Dongchang had transferred nearly 2,000 capable people from the north and south in advance, they would have not done these things so quickly.

When these officials were directly ordered by Zhu Youxiao to kill the three clans, the entire court was boiling.

It has not happened for a long time that the emperor killed more than 200 officials at the same time.

The last time something like this happened was during the Hongwu period, and they couldn't imagine that they could see such a grand occasion today.

The officials in the imperial court kept writing books, wanting to ask for pardon for the more than 200 officials, and some of them were inevitably eunuch officials, who felt sad for the death of rabbits and foxes, but Zhu Youxiao was unmoved.

Qian Qianyi, the right-hand man of the Donglin Party in his hometown of Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, not only did he feel the slightest sadness after hearing about this incident, but he felt very happy.

When the entourage on the left and right saw Qian Qianyi like this, they all felt very incomprehensible.

The housekeeper beside him couldn't help but ask: "Master, more than two hundred ministers of the Donglin Party have been killed by the faint monarch, and the forces of our Donglin Party have been suppressed again, why do you look quite happy when you see that you have no way to worry about it, master?" ”

Qian Qianyi didn't need to explain these things to a mere housekeeper, but he was interested, and besides, this housekeeper was also his confidant, so he was still patiently explaining to this housekeeper.

"You know what? There are only a few ministers above this court who are qualified to stand in the imperial palace; There are only a few ministers of the 636 Ministry who have gone up to the rank; Even among the governors of various places, how many ministers can be of higher rank? ”

"This faint king has done such an unwise thing, it's just that I'm waiting for a great opportunity."

"No matter how much changes in this court, no matter how much the faint monarch dislikes us Donglin Party members, but he always has one thing that there is no way to change, that is, the rule of the country still depends on Wenchen."

"More than 200 high-ranking officials in the imperial court and local places were killed because of this incident, which will inevitably make the officials in various places even more alienated from the faint monarch."

"This faint monarch killed that Zhang Ruitu because of the matter of regaining the throne before, and later killed officials such as Zhou Kui and Yan Mingtai."

"So far, it's already the third group of people killed by the faint king."

"This time he killed more people, and more than 200 officials and their families were like weeds, cut clean at will by the faint king."

"Think about those officials in the imperial court, whether it is the eunuch party, whether it is the officials who sympathize with our Donglin party, or even those who are riding the wall in the wind, what will they think?"

"People's hearts are made of meat, and when they see the miserable situation of these officials, they will definitely be even more distracted from that faint king."

"Of course, this is not the most important thing, what kind of consequences will it lead to if the faint monarch kills so many officials at one time?"

"It will definitely lead to the lack of officials in a large number of six ministries, and the operation of the entire imperial court will be greatly hindered."

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, this court will not be able to function, and Zhu Youxiao will still have to bow to us and release most of the more than 200 officials."

"At most, he will kill the two leading people, Qian Shisheng and Wen Zhenmeng, and forget about this anger."

"In this way, the prestige of my Donglin Party will definitely be even greater than before!"

"Isn't that a great thing?"

The housekeeper only understood Qian Qianyi's plan at this time, and couldn't help but give Qian Qianyi a thumbs up.

"Sir, high! That's high! ”

Qian Qianyi thought that this time, he had won an unparalleled victory, and he was also extremely complacent.
