Chapter 21: The Donglin Party Becomes a Eunuch Party
As the leader of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi felt insulted.
The eunuchs, the sworn enemies of the Donglin Party, all won the trust of the new emperor.
Then what did he, the leader of the Donglin Party, do when he went to Beijing? Do you continue to be an idler?
But.
Qian Qianyi's anger was not easy to vent.
Because the temper of Zhu Youzhen, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, did not seem to be very good, he not only stabbed the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian to death with his own hands, but also ordered the Fengsheng wife Ke to be chopped alive, and together with the son of the Hakka family and others, he went to accompany Wei Zhongxian to see the king of Hades.
Such a ruthless method made Qian Qianyi feel related and did not dare to attack.
Qian Qianyi, who has been cautious all his life and has always been hiding behind the scenes, decided to arrive in Beijing first, meet the new emperor and then decide how to seize power in the court.
After arriving in Beijing, Qian Qianyi immediately found several Donglin Party officials and wanted to plan for the future.
But.
These Donglin Party officials were depressed one by one.
"Lord Qian, no, now the emperor is too brutal, and he wants to dismiss the official and raid the house at every turn, and several Qingliu have been framed for the eunuch party to dismiss the official and raid the house this month." Yang Boke sighed in the middle of the war.
"Ridiculous! Isn't it ridiculous that we wait for Qingliu to be framed as a eunuch, why don't you advise the emperor? Qian Qianyi said with a dissatisfied face.
"Alas, now the emperor requires that he can't make mistakes with party disputes, if anyone is not convinced and advised, then he will be given the name of the eunuch party, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are fierce, and we don't dare to be strong anymore."
"Jinyiwei, Dongchang, these two are things that will bring disaster to the country and the people, we should unite with the righteous path and clear stream, and write to the new monarch together to remove Jinyiwei and Dongchang!" Qian Qianyi said angrily.
Several Donglin Party officials were almost stupefied.
They all understood that now that Qian Qianyi had just arrived in Beijing, he had not yet seen the violent methods of the new emperor before he would say this.
"Master Qian, don't be impulsive! If you are hated by the new monarch now, you will not only lose your position, but you will also be framed and infamy! ”
A Donglin official said tremblingly.
After Zhu Youzhen collected the atonement money, he retained a large number of eunuch party officials to continue to stay in office, which made the Donglin party officials frying.
In just two days, more than 20 people wrote to the new emperor Zhu Youzhen and scolded him for not knowing that he was a 'pro-virtuous minister and a villain'.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen didn't talk nonsense with these civil officials at all, and directly ordered them all to be imprisoned and investigated for corruption and bribery.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty have no clean buttocks, and it is not easy to find out if they are corrupt and bribery.
After having sufficient evidence, Zhu Youzhen announced that these people were all remnants of the eunuch party!
What? You say you're not a eunuch? Then why do you embezzle and take bribes so much?
You are such a corrupt official, and you dare to say that you are not a eunuch?
Zhu Youzhen's series of commotion operations immediately frightened the civilian officials of the Beijing Division.
Not to mention the evil consequences of going to prison with the eunuch hat, even if Zhu Youzhen is such a shameless trick, they can't resist it for a while!
After listening to everyone's complaints, Qian Qianyi smiled secretly.
He felt that this new emperor of the Ming Dynasty was like a naughty young man, and his tricks were all clever that could not be put on the table.
"Don't worry, I will be re-elected soon, and at that time, you will wait and see how I can clean up the source of the Ming Dynasty and let the emperor know how to be a qualified Ming monarch!"
Qian Qianyi's confident appearance obviously felt that he already had a plan to bargain with the new emperor.
