In the past few months, the life of the governor of North Korea, Jang Heming, can be described as ups and downs.

When he first released the governor of North Korea, Zhang Heming could be described as infinitely beautiful. Countless wealthy businessmen and officials rushed to give him gifts, and almost all of them had to level the threshold of his family.

He also embarked on a warship to North Korea with infinite dreams.

But who knew that this was the beginning of his nightmare.

Where are the huge profits of smuggling?

A pirate named Zheng Zhilong directly collected the "protection fee" off the coast of North Korea, and even he was kidnapped and extorted 50,000 taels by him.

Half of the silk shipped from Jiangnan to Korea was donated to the "East Ryukyu Company".

Life in North Korea is even more indescribable, it seems that this governor is high, but in fact he does not reap any benefits.

The Ming army stationed in the DPRK didn't like him as a governor at all, and kept asking him for salary.

I finally did some "small business" in North Korea, and I also encountered a coup d'état in North Korea.

Less than three months after taking office, he was sent to the edict of Dongchang.

Sun Yunhe, the criminal officer of Dongchang, said with a smile: "Governor Zhang, you are corrupt and pervert the law, and the evidence of accepting bribes is conclusive, I think you still recruited from the truth." ”

"This is the edict of Dongchang, no matter who it is, you have to peel off your skin before you come in. Come on, let's loosen Governor Zhang's muscles and bones first! ”

After that, the two big and three rough thugs were about to put Zhang Heming on the torture pillar.

Zhang Heming is also an old man, and he knows that even if the edict of Dongchang is the first assistant Ye Xianggao, he has no right to interfere, and Li Xianzhong was imprisoned here for more than a month.

These flags from Dongchang won't tell you about the rule of "can't punish the doctor".

He said: "Sun Lixing, if you have something to say, I understand the rules, I will send a thousand taels of silver!" ”

Seeing that Sun Yunhe was indifferent, he shouted again: "Three thousand taels!" ”

It wasn't until he shouted eight thousand taels that Sun Yunhe waved his hand and motioned for the two subordinates to retreat.

He said: "Since Governor Zhang is a person who understands, then I won't talk nonsense, these eight thousand taels can make you not suffer in the edict for a few days, but it can't exonerate you!" ”

"Your Majesty is furious this time, no matter how much silver you give, the lower officials will not dare to bend the law for personal gain!"

"I also advise you, it's better to be truthful! Maybe Father-in-law Wei is happy, for the sake of your guilt and meritorious service, I can still spare your life! ”

Then Sun Yunhe directly threw a bunch of materials in front of Zhang Heming.

Zhang Heming picked it up and took a look.

On the evening of August 17 in the first year of the Apocalypse, in the backyard of Zhangfu in the capital, Wang Dafu, a silk merchant in Suzhou, sought the qualification for trade with Korea with 8,000 taels of silver and 500 acres of high-grade paddy fields in Wujiang County, Suzhou Prefecture

Zhang Heming really looks at the more he looks at it, the cooler it becomes, and the bribes he has received these days have been clearly understood by the East Factory.

Even his conversation with prostitutes in Mianyue Tower was recorded, and it seems that he has long been targeted by Dongchang.

Not only Jingshi, but even his plans with Kim Jin in North Korea have been clearly recorded.

This time, he really took advantage of the position of the governor of North Korea and took the opportunity to accept a lot of bribes, which amounted to as much as 200,000 taels.

But compared to those big guys, what is this point?

At the beginning, Li Sancai, the boss of Donglin, was much more greedy than himself, and it was rumored that his family property was more than 4 million taels.

It can be said that the first time the Donglin Party launched a full-scale party struggle was to defend this huge corruption.

In the face of the impeachment of countless officials in the DPRK and China, Gu Xiancheng, the founder of Donglin, personally defended him, and all the Donglin Party members in the DPRK and China exonerated Li Sancai in black and white.

made the Wanli Emperor unclear about the situation for a while.

Under the protection of the Donglin Party, in the face of numerous impeachments, Li Sancai just took the initiative to resign and return to his hometown.

Zhang Heming knew that the situation was different this time, and His Majesty did not use the three divisions to interrogate at all, so he directly sent himself to prison.

The Criminal Department controlled by the Donglin Party, the Inspectorate could not help at all.

Looking at Dongchang's posture, these materials should have been prepared a long time ago, and it is impossible to investigate after receiving the complaint from the North Korean envoy.

Could it be that this North Korean governor was originally a bureau?

It is no wonder that Wei Zhongxian did not speak out against it at the beginning, and let himself successfully take the position of governor of Korea.

At this time, Zhang Heming's whole body was already soaked in cold sweat, if this is the case, I am afraid that he will be in a catastrophe!

Of course, at present, he still has one last way to live, that is, to take refuge in Wei Zhongxian.

Nowadays, there is a popular saying in the officialdom of the capital: If you commit something, as long as it is not a major crime of rebellion, Gonggong Wei will definitely be able to keep you safe and sound!

Thinking that Wang Huazhen was defeated in Liaodong and took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, he was finally acquitted, and now he is in charge of the Tai Hospital.

Of course, the price is also huge, not only to be ridiculed by the Manchu civil and military, to be scolded as a "eunuch", but also to betray his former companions.

At this point he was lost in thought.

Sun Yunhe saw that this guy was still hesitating, so he decided to make an example for him.

Soon, a scrawny prisoner, covered in blood, was dragged up in heavy shackles.

Sun Yunhe asked, "Zhou Yunshen, have you understood, are you willing to admit your crime?" ”

Zhang Heming was taken aback, the person in front of him was actually Zhou Yunshen, the head of the household department, who was arrested and imprisoned at the beginning of the year because of Wang Huazhen's betrayal.

Zhang Heming always thought that he had been persecuted to death by Wei Gelding, but he didn't expect that he was still alive?

He remembered that Zhou Yunshen was a big fat man before, but now he has been tortured into an inhuman form.

I saw Zhou Yunshen scolding angrily: "Gelding, I will not give in to you!" ”

Sun Yunhe snorted coldly and said, "Come and put on 'red embroidered shoes' for Zhou Yunshen!" ”

I saw a pair of red iron shoes that had been burned in the fire, and at this time, Zhou Yunshen had been tied to the torture pillar, and his whole body was completely unable to move.

The banner of the East Factory used clips to put the "red embroidered shoes" directly on Zhou Yunshen's feet.

The moment Zhou Yunshen's feet came into contact with the "red embroidered shoes", he immediately made a "zizi" barbecue sound, and his hysterical screams continued to echo in the edict!

The banner said: "The prisoner of Qiqi Sun Li has passed out!" ”

Sun Yunhe said: "If you want to die, how can it be so easy? ”

"Go to the Tai Hospital to pass on the king doctor, you must save him, as long as Zhou Yunshen doesn't bite out a few Donglin parties, let him survive and not die!"

This scene directly frightened Zhang Heming on the side, and he immediately shouted: "I want to see Grandpa Wei, the master of ceremonies, and Zhang is willing to work for Grandpa Wei!" ”

Sun Yunhe said: "It's still Governor Zhang's knowledge of current affairs, but he is much stronger than this Zhou Yunshen!" ”

Soon, he threw him a booklet and said, "You have to think about how many people in this list have appeared in your house, and how many have paid you bribes." ”

"They're your gift to the Doge!"

Zhang Heming picked up this "Donglin Point General Record".

After opening it, it reads Marshal Kaishan: Tota Heavenly King, former household secretary Li Sancai.

Then there are the two leaders of the general army:

Tiankui star, timely rain, cabinet first auxiliary leaf to high.

Tiangang Xing, Jade Qilin, Zhao Nanxing, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple of the Ministry of Rites.

Two members in charge of the classified military division:

Tianji Star, Zhiduo Star, Zuo Yu De Miao Chang Period.

Tianxian Star, into the cloud dragon, the left capital of the imperial history of the high climbing dragon.

Soon he found his name: Sky Star, Urgent Vanguard, Right Squire of the Military Department, and Zhang Heming, Governor of Korea.

Obviously, this "Donglin Point General Record" is a reference to "Water Margin", and I see that this ranking is quite high!

Most of the people on this list are his colleagues, but now he has to betray some of them in order to protect himself.

He knew that if he didn't get involved with two important people, Wei Zhongxian would definitely not give up.

It just so happened that Liu Yijing, a university scholar, and Zhou Jiamo, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, had visited Zhang Heming's mansion before he went to North Korea.

As a result, Zhang Heming reported that more than 20 Donglin Party members, including Liu Yijing and Zhou Jiamo, had bribed or pressured him to seek the benefits of North Korean smuggling!

Although Wei Zhongxian is still a little dissatisfied, Liu Yijing is a general of Donglin and a member of the cabinet; The Ministry of Officials controlled by Zhou Jiamo is also a crucial department.

He decided to use the two of them to attack the Donglin Party first.

Of course, these two people are in high positions after all, and he did not directly send the two to prison, but used Zhang Heming's accusation to accuse the two of abusing power for personal gain on the spot.

As for the other small people of the Donglin Party, they were directly imprisoned.

When the time comes, give them a trick, maybe they can confess a bunch of accomplices, and when the time comes, he Wei Gonggong will not be able to engage whoever he wants?

Dongchang's wanton arrest of Donglin party members in the capital also caused great panic in the capital.

Shoufu Ye Xianggao was also troubled by Wei Zhongxian's hand.

He didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to use the governor of North Korea to constantly attack the Donglin Party.

Zhang Heming's corruption and smuggling is not an empty trend, and it is true that some Donglin officials are involved in North Korean affairs.

Wei Zhongxian's real and false framing is far more lethal than the false framing.

Father-in-law Wei directly produced a large amount of evidence at the court meeting to prove that Zhang Heming was corrupt and smuggled.

It even pointed the finger at the Donglin Party.

And Xungui, who had suffered losses in the matter of the governor of North Korea before, also stood on Wei Zhongxian's side, accusing the Donglin Party of deliberately removing the governor of North Korea of Ning Yuanbo and Li Xianzhong in order to make profits for himself, and his heart can be punished!

Liu Yijing and Zhou Jiamo inexplicably became the targets of everyone's accusations.

His reputation was ruined by Zhang Heming like this?

At the court meeting, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was even more angry, and there were so many corrupt officials among the Donglin Party, which made him annoyed and angry!

He directly asked Liu Yijing and Zhou Jiamo to prove their innocence!

They have indeed been to Zhang Heming's house, and now Zhang Heming insists that the two of them are using their power for personal gain, and in the face of this long-planned frame, the two of them are speechless.

In the end, the two had to resign angrily to prove their innocence.

As a matter of convention, no matter what the purpose of the resignation of the court ministers, the emperor always had to symbolically retain them.

But at the instigation of Wei Zhongxian, the Emperor of the Apocalypse actually directly approved the resignation of the two!

His behavior still broke the hearts of many civilian officials.

Now Wei Zhongxian is domineering and domineering in the court, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse has no opinions, so he has completely become Wei Zhongxian's marionette, which makes many people have the idea of retreating.

After Liu Yijing and Zhou Jiamo resigned, a number of Donglin Party officials submitted their resignations on the grounds of "advanced age and frailty."

And Wei Zhongxian generously approved them to return to their hometown for the elderly.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Wei's father-in-law's meaning was very clear, only if he resigned and returned to his hometown, he could retreat from these Donglin Party members.

If you continue to fight him, then be prepared to go to prison.

In this regard, Yang Lian and other upright Donglin party members must be unwilling to give in, and these days they have also grasped a lot of evidence that Wei Zhongxian sold his official position and accepted bribes, especially his nephew Wei Liangqing, who was even more reckless in Suning County.

In recent years, there have been many twists and turns in the courtiers' impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, but they are all like mud cows entering the sea, and there is no news!

So he decided to impeach Wei Zhongxian directly at the court meeting.

Yang Lian knew that this move would not only anger Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan, but even the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

However, for the sake of the world's own life, he Yang Lian is naturally duty-bound.

He also wanted to let the world know that the Donglin Party did not bow to Wei Gelding.

On the thirteenth day of the first month of the second year of the Apocalypse, Yang Lian, the deputy governor of the left, impeached Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka dictatorship on the spot, and listed 24 of their crimes.

In the end, Yang Lian said loudly: "Emperor Gao Hongwu for ten years, there are chamberlains to serve the inner court for a long time, calmly talk about political affairs, and reprimand them on the same day, and then tell the ministers: 'The disaster of the Han and Tang Dynasties, although it is said that the sins of the eunuchs, are also caused by the fault of the lord's belief in love. To the eunuchs, they are not allowed to pawn the army to pre-government, although they want to cause chaos, how can they get it? Now this eunuch, although it has been a long time, cannot be tolerated, and he will definitely go to it, so he will be punished in the future. 'The sage, the official speaks and political affairs, and punishes the future, the situation is loyal and virtuous, and the king is supreme, and the evil accumulates sins, how can he be allowed to continue to judge? ”

"Emperor Fu begged for a great thunderbolt, tied the face of the loyal and virtuous to the front of the nine temples, gathered the large and small civil and military relatives, and the law department inquired strictly one by one, examined the internal and external traffic of the officials of the court, and was good at doing prestige, violating the ancestral law, bad court affairs, losing the heart of the world, bullying the king and losing grace to the law, and the public anger of the gods and people. He was honored by the Holy Lady Hakka, and also ordered him to live outside, with full grace, and there was no reinstatement to make him poison the palace. ”

As soon as the minister knew this, the party of loyalty and virtue could not tolerate the minister, but the minister was not afraid. But you have to go to a loyal sage, in the name of not mistaking the emperor's order Yao Shun, that is, you can report the first emperor, you can see the spirit of the two ancestors and ten sects, the heart of loyalty and righteousness in a lifetime, and the grace of the two dynasties. I wish to die with little reward and no regrets, but the emperor will give a little blood sincerity to the ministers. ”

Yang Lian was ready to impeach himself in the court, and Wei Zhongxian had already received the news.

The reason why he didn't stop it in advance was because he knew that Yang Lian's move would definitely anger His Majesty.

When the time comes, not only will it not work, but he will lose himself.

It's just that Wei Zhongxian didn't expect Yang Lian to be so resolute and have a showdown directly with His Majesty.

His meaning was very clear, asking the Emperor of the Apocalypse to either depose Wei Zhongxian or kill himself.

Wei Zhongxian reprimanded angrily: "Bold Yang Lian, dare to threaten Your Majesty, is this the way to be a minister?" ”

"You slander our family, our family can not care, but you actually threaten Your Majesty, this is a big rebellion."

"Come on, put Yang Lian in prison first, and wait for the fate!"

Wei Zhongxian's move undoubtedly angered the Donglin Party.

Shoufu Ye knelt down to Gao Gu and wept and said: "Yang Lian's impeachment of Wei Zhongxian's 24 counts is conclusive, and I ask Your Majesty to investigate it." Although Yang Lian's move is disrespectful to His Majesty, it is also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"If Your Majesty wants to detain him, he will be detained together, and then handed over to the three divisions for interrogation, and the conclusion will be drawn after a detailed investigation."

Then a group of Donglin party members knelt down and kowtowed in unison.

No matter how ignorant the Emperor of the Apocalypse is, he knows the seriousness of this matter, although he is quite unhappy with the Donglin Party's forced palace behavior, but he does not choose to further intensify the contradictions.

Instead, he said: "When Emperor Gao, the ceremonial supervisor did not have the right to 'approve the red', and the eunuchs involved in politics should naturally be punished; ”

"It is really inappropriate for Yang Lian to attack Wei Zhongxian with this, so he ordered him to go back to his house and think about it."

"As for the other crimes he impeached, I will find out with the Jinyi Guard, and it will not be too late to draw conclusions at that time!"

Emperor of the Apocalypse, this seems to have played fifty boards each.

In fact, he was still favoring Wei Zhongxian, but Yang Lian's move still greatly boosted everyone's morale.

His spirit of seeing death as if he was at home is not inferior to Hai Rui's scolding of Jiajing in his book.

It has also won a huge reputation and prestige in Shilin.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tianqi is only dealing with the Donglin Party, and does not really want to punish Wei Zhongxian, it seems that the defeat of the Donglin Party in this dispute between the DPRK and China has been decided.

Many ministers even worshiped Wei Zhongxian's disciples, waiting to make up for the shortcomings of these Donglin parties.

The wall-riding faction also saw that now that the Donglin Party in the court is weak, Gonggong Wei will soon take control of the court.

Those who originally bet on the Donglin Party to win in heaven and earth are now repentant.

Tian Ergeng's fame in the noble circle is also getting bigger and bigger.

He was the first to bet on Wei Zhongxian to win in heaven and earth.

More than half a year ago, he was just a boy who relied on the shadow of his ancestors to fool around.

As the first official to recognize Wei Zhongxian as his father-in-law, Tian Ergeng not only controlled Jinyiwei, but also promoted to the governor of Zhengyipin, who was a big celebrity around Gonggong Wei.

At this time, Jinyi Wei commanded Xu Xianchun and said: "Now that the governor trusts Dongchang, we Jinyiwei have to keep up, we can't let Dongchang monopolize the limelight!" ”

Dongchang successively used Wang Huazhen and Zhang Heming to frame a large number of Donglin Party officials, which can be said to be in the limelight in front of Wei Zhongxian.

Isn't it just framing?

He also has an edict in Beizhen Fusi, and Tian Ergeng decided to share his father-in-law's worries!

Now the person Wei Zhongxian hates the most is naturally Yang Lian, but because of the will of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it is not easy for him to attack Yang Lian.

Then they simply framed Yang Lian directly, and when the time came, these Donglin Party members were arrested and imprisoned, and in the edict of Fusi in Beizhen, are there still people who don't speak?

Soon they found a merchant and sent silver to the mansion of Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others.

Just when a few people were confused, a large number of Jinyi guards surrounded their mansion and directly grabbed Yang Lian and others in the edict of Fusi in Beizhen.

Zuo Deputy Governor Yushi Yang Lian, Zuo Yushi Zuo Guangdou, Officials and Officials are all Wei Dazhong, Henan Provincial Imperial History Yuan Huazhong, Taifu Temple Shaoqing Zhou Chaorui, and Rite Department member Wailang Gu Dazhang.

These people are the six most ferocious people in the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, and Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun decided not to do anything.

Anyway, one sheep is also booming, and two sheep are also driving, so they simply knock down the six of them at once.

In this way, they will definitely be able to overpower the East Factory.

Soon, Wei Zhongxian reported to the Emperor of the Apocalypse that these six people participated in Korean smuggling together and were directly arrested by the Jinyi Guard.

Emperor Tianqi was doing carpenter work at this time, and he didn't look at the list carefully, after all, he had arrested many corrupt officials of the Donglin Party before, and he quickly approved the arrest.

Soon Yang Lian and others were arrested and imprisoned in the edict of Fusi in Beizhen.

Xu Xianchun thought that they were just a group of weak scholars, where could they be tortured? If you scare them a little, they will confess obediently.

But I don't want these scholars to be iron-clad, no matter how the thugs of Jinyiwei torture them, they just refuse to confess.

In desperation, Xu Xianchun had no choice but to personally go out and torture six people, beating them every three days and punishing them every five days.

Among the six people, Yang Lian is their spiritual leader, Xu Xianchun decided to take Yang Lian directly, as long as Yang Lian is taken, the others will be self-defeating.

But all kinds of criminal laws have been used, and at this time, Yang Lian's whole body no longer has a good skin, and he can neither stand nor sit, but can only lie down. But Yang Lian just refused to admit his guilt, and even used the pen and paper he used to confess to continue to accuse Wei Zhongxian.

At this time, Yang Lian's family also knew that they could not be rescued, so they secretly carried gold nuggets in the meal, so that they could swallow gold and commit suicide so as not to continue to suffer. But he was found by the prison guards and did not let Yang Lian's family deliver food from then on.

Wei Zhongxian was so angry when he saw the accusation written by Yang Lian that he ordered Tian Ergeng to get rid of Yang Lian directly.

Tian Ergeng knew that killing Yang Lian would definitely cause infamy, so he let Xu Xianchun do it.

Xu Xianchun then ordered Tiqi to kill Yang Lian.

Late at night on February 24, Ti rode Yang Lian on the road, Yang Lian bit his index finger, wrote a blood book, looked up to the sky and laughed and was tortured.

Xu Xianchun asked the jailer to lock Yang Lian to death, and ordered someone to nail a big iron nail through Yang Lian's heavenly spirit cover, and in this way, a generation of famous ministers Yang Lian finally died under torture.

During this period, Zuo Guangdou's student Shi Kefa spent a lot of silver and two dozen dots to rescue his teacher, but Zuo Guangdou was afraid that his students would be affected and insisted on refusing to meet and let him leave quickly!

On the same day that Yang Lian died, Zuo Guangdou was also killed.

The murder of Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other "Six Gentlemen of Donglin" made Wei Zhongxian's arrogance reach the climax.

After Shoufu Ye Xianggao learned that Yang Lian and others had been killed, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

There is no way, Wei Zhongxian just used such a scoundrel method to deal with them.

So he angrily resigned from the post of head of the cabinet and went home to recuperate.

And after Shi Kefa failed to ask for the corpse of his mentor Zuo Guangdou, he was intercepted and killed by a masked man in the alley.

Just as the masked men swung their knives at him, suddenly someone slashed them down from behind.

After that, Shi Kefa was sent to a ship, along with Yang Lian's two sons.

Shi Kefa clenched his fists and said: "Thank you for begging for kindness, I don't know if I can tell my name, and he will repay the favor in the future." ”

The man said: "Jingshi is already Wei Zhongxian's world, and it is difficult for you to fight against the eunuchs without soldiers in your hands. In the next step, Wei Zhongxian will definitely make a move on Jiangnan money and grain, you better prepare early, right? ”

"If one day Jiangnan can't get mixed up, you can go to Liaodong to have a look!"

After the boat drove away, Mao Yuanyi walked out of the shadows and said, "Tell Ning Yuanbo that Wei Zhongxian has already called himself 'nine thousand years old'!" ”
