In October of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Zhu Youxiao was buried in the Deling Mausoleum, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was buried in the Tomb of De, and the temple was called Xizong.

On the same day, the 9,900-year-old eunuch Bingbi and Wei Zhongxian, the commander of the East Factory and the West Factory, who had been riding on the heads of 120 million people in the world for seven years, chose the same way as history and hanged himself in Deling.

Soon after the news of Wei Zhongxian's death reached the palace, Fengsheng's wife Keshi was strangled to death by Luo Yangxing!

From beginning to end, Zhu Youzhen did not show up.

Until Luo Yangxing came to report.

Xian'an Palace, even the palace ladies and eunuchs, all killed!

Unconsciously, Zhu Youzhen's hands were stained with so much blood.

I haven't counted them, but there are probably hundreds of lives.

The Imperial Road, paved with corpses, is indeed more open and easier to walk.

The inner court, which is completely purged, all face the court and worship the dragon of the Holy Lord.

Luo Yangxing, a vicious dog and a loyal dog, was duly rewarded, and his coveted position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard was given to him by Zhu Youzhen.

And Wang Tigan and Li Yongzhen also knelt in front of Zhu Youzhen and begged for mercy after Wei Zhongxian's death.

Jinyiwei, East and West No. 2 Factory, knife, Zhu Youjian got it.

Next, it depends on whether it is stable or not.

The purge of the inner court was only the beginning, and the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty officially entered the reshuffle stage at this time.

The political storm that has been suppressed for dozens of days broke out in full force at this moment!

The impeachment of Hu Huanyou, a prisoner of the country, became the fuse of this political storm.

“...... Therefore, the minister impeached the scholars Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guopu and others who were sitting at the table and did not preside over it. even the important ministers who took care of their lives were killed in the edict; The fifth-class lord, the honor of the prince, added to the eunuch temple; And the ancestral monument is not reached. If the law is guilty of adultery, what can the husband say? ”

In this impeachment, Huang Liji and the other four are all cabinet ministers, and they are also members of the eunuch party.

Now, none of them have run away.

The Donglin Party is about to start exerting its strength.

Since Hu Huanyou's impeachment recital, thousands of recitals from the DPRK and the central government and the opposition have instantly drowned out the dragon case in Zhu Youzhen's Qianqing Palace, all of which without exception supported Hu Huanyou and crusaded against the four traitors in the cabinet.

What's more, groups of three or five ran into the palace, and the drums were beaten to the sky.

In the face of such a turbulent official situation, Zhu Youzhen had to hold a court meeting and come forward to deal with it.

Above the Golden Palace, Huang Liji and the others were ashamed and ashamed, so they came out to beg for it.

"The minister, as a minister who cares for his life, has committed such a stupid and unwise mistake, he has been deceived by traitors, he is ashamed of the emperor, he has no shame to accept the court, and he asks His Majesty to issue a decree to resign, and the quasi-minister plays it."

Huang Liji's face was distressed, and he kowtowed: "After the minister returns to his hometown, he will think about it behind closed doors, and confess his guilt every day before the first emperor's spirit card. ”

Following Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai and the other three also resigned one after another, saying that they wanted to think about it behind closed doors.

Seeing that the four of them were so interested, the Donglin Party members were satisfied, looked at Zhu Youzhen, and waited for the latter to quickly approve, so that the four of them could move their positions for them.

Zhu Youzhen listened quietly, sneering in his heart.

Thinking about it behind closed doors?

Is there such a good thing in the world?

Scourge the country like this, and now pat your ass and leave, and let Lao Tzu wipe your ass behind you. After that, you squandered the money you have brought over the years, and you were warmed at night with your wife and concubine Furong?

A gentleman surnamed Lu once said: I can fuck you!

Lu Zhishen: That's right, I said it.

Since the Donglin Party intends to use itself as a knife to eliminate dissidents, Zhu Youzhen must of course be sensible and cooperative, and by the way, he will use the topic to play.

"As an important minister who cares about his life, he is attached to the eunuch party and brutalizes the loyal and good, which is self-isolation from the ancestors and the court!" Zhu Youzhen is a young man, so he is naturally angry, and he slapped the table and made a noise: "If it weren't for Meng Qing, Qian Qing and other virtuous ministers who bravely told him, I would have been bullied by you."

That is, he will go to his post to investigate and handle it, and hand it over to the three legal divisions for trial. ”

Huang Liji and the other four were suddenly shocked, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and did not forget to secretly look at Meng Shaoyu, Qian Longxi and other Donglin Party members.

Okay, we will cooperate with the resignation, you raised your noble hand to let us land safely, why does it seem that now you have not passed the emperor's anger?

Not long ago, Meng Shaoyu, who was just the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was about to speak, but Qian Qianyi, who was also from the Donglin Party, had already stood up.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, the four thieves are attached to the eunuch party, brutalize Zhongliang, and are in collusion with Cui Chengxiu and his ilk, and they should indeed be severely punished."

Guo Xingyan, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zhou Yanru, the new left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, also expressed their support.

Subsequently, dozens of people from the Donglin Party, including Cheng Jiming, Wang Yongguang, Zheng Yiwei, Li Tengfang, Sun Shenxing, and Qian Xiangkun, all expressed their support.

As early as the end of the previous Great Rites Conference, Ye Xianggao died of illness, although the current Donglin Party does not have a clear party leader in charge, but these are also the leaders of the Donglin Party, perhaps the temporary official position is not as good as Meng Shaoyu, but the status in the Donglin Party is not comparable to Meng Shaoyu.

Therefore, as soon as Qian Qianyi, Zhou Yanru and others spoke, Meng Shaoyu did not say much.

Huang Liji and the others were in a hurry to lose their popularity, and when they saw that Jinyiwei stepped forward to take the four of them away, they couldn't help but scold Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi was suddenly furious, and asked Zhu Youzhen for a while.

"Your Majesty, the four thieves have no respect for their superiors, and they desecrate the Golden Palace with foul language, and according to the law, they should be punished for the crime of disrespect."

Zhu Youzhen was waiting for this kind of words, and immediately asked Qian Qianyi.

"How to punish it?"

"Die with the rod outside the temple!"

Ruthless enough, I like it.

Zhu Youzhen was enlightened and admonished, and immediately waved his hand: "Then do as Qian Qing said, and kill all these four thieves with a cane to set an example." ”

The four cabinet ministers of the Apocalypse Dynasty were beaten to death outside the Fengtian Palace.

For a time, hundreds of non-Donglin Party officials above the court and outside the Golden Hall were all hopeful.

There was a sudden illusion that Wei Zhongxian was still alive.

The Donglin Party defeated the Eunuch Party, but what is the difference between the Donglin Party's current style and the Eunuch Party?

Probably the only difference is that it is dressed in a moral veneer.

The impeachment continued, and after Huang Liji and the four were killed with a cane, Geng Yingchang, the director of the Criminal Department, made another statement of impeachment.

This time, the targets of impeachment were Zhang Ixu, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Xue Zhen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Liu Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Yang Menggon, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the next 27 officials.

It can be said that Geng Yingchang's impeachment book includes all the first-level members of the central government and the chief officials and adjutants of the yamen.

The appetite of the Donglin Party is so good, that it wants to eat all the fruits of victory after this party struggle in one go.

What Zhu Youzhen can say, of course, he responds to requests and does what he is told.

With a wave of his hand, it's all right!

At the moment, the busiest person in Fengtian Hall is probably Jinyiwei.

Arrested one after another former officials of the second and third grades.

It's better to cry and shout grievances, and those who chirp and shout indiscriminately, then according to the rules given by Qian Qianyi before, all of them will be killed outside the hall with the rod of great disrespect!

The rich smell of blood blew into the Fengtian Temple.

This stimulates the blood factor in human nature, making some people more restless and greedy.

Geng Yingchang made a frantic request.

"Please dismantle the east and west factories!"

It's coming, it's finally here.

From the moment Wei Zhongxian hanged himself, Zhu Youzhen had already guessed that the Donglin Party would make this request.

Can't avoid it.

Fortunately, Zhu Youzhen was prepared.

did not explicitly refuse, but looked at Qian Qianyi, Zhou Yanru and others, and asked.

"Now that the cabinet is empty, the six ministries are empty, and I am young and little known, how should I deal with this?"

This sentence drew everyone's attention back from Geng Yingchang.

Qian Qianyi said bluntly: "Back to Your Majesty, now that the dynasty is in the midst of internal and external troubles, non-loyal and capable people cannot occupy high positions, so the selection of officials needs to be cautious. ”

There are so many positions, we have to go back and close the door to discuss it, and when we divide the cake, you, the emperor, just need to approve it.

Zhu Youzhen was still as responsive as ever, and as soon as Qian Qianyi's words landed, he nodded and agreed.

"Then I'll be here first today, bow down and be unwell, let's disperse."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Hundreds of officials bowed and sent, and then played the crown to celebrate.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen."

Walking out of Chengtianmen, Qian Qianyi couldn't wait to shout loudly: "Let's go back to the hall first, I will wait for the good students to discuss, and the matter of the court push will be decided by consensus." ”

"They all listen to justice."

There were no objections, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

This is probably the reason why the Donglin Party was able to defeat the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party and other parties one after another.

And Qian Qianyi did not live up to the trust of the big guys in him, in the Fuzhou Hall, Qian Qianyi drew up a list of officials who satisfied everyone after synthesizing the opinions of many parties.

It covers all central-level yamen such as six departments, five temples, one courtyard and one division.

At the same time, it also includes important positions such as the governor of Shuntian, the governor of Jiliao, and the six Shangshu of Nanjing.

The only thing that remains undecided at the moment is the most important cabinet minister.

There are more than a dozen officials in the Donglin Party who have the prestige and ability to compete for cabinet ministers, who will be who is wrong?

This is a problem.

But seeing Qian Qianyi, he smiled slightly.

He's got a way.
