Daming One Piece

Chapter 172 There is no more Zhang Juzheng in the world (first update, please subscribe)
June of the sixth year of Tianqi is a very special day for Daming.

It's not because of drought-resistant artifacts like pressurized wells, nor because of the appearance of sweet potatoes.But following the trial of the "Wang Gongchang Assassination Case", Jinyiwei Ti rode out and arrested 100 people that day, and then hundreds of people were arrested every day. Not only the Dongchang prison and Jinyiwei prison were overcrowded , even the prison of the Criminal Ministry is also full of people, as for Shuntian Mansion, it is also full of people. Not only many officials were involved, but also many businessmen. The capital city has been occupied by Shanxi merchants for many years, and naturally more and more merchants have been arrested.

For the presiding officer, the more businessmen are arrested, the more benefits they will have. In fact, at the beginning, there were still some people who objected to the fact that there were so many people involved. The money that was sent was silent one by one.

Why, it's good!
Who would want to miss out on such a benefit?

The premise is that only by arresting people can we get benefits.

Then grab it!

As more and more people were involved, in June, the wind finally blew to the south of the Yangtze River. First, a dozen salt merchants from Shanxi in Yangzhou were arrested by Jinyiwei for their involvement in the case, and their homes were ransacked. Then dozens of officials from the Six Ministries of Nanjing were arrested. Take it to the prison, and then more and more people are involved.

Maybe there is no "Gua Man Chao", but it must be "Gua Man Lian". The suspects caught in the sky prison will definitely not be able to withstand the torture of the Dongchang Fanzi. There are also those who bite others.

As more and more people climbed and bitten, the prison was overcrowded.

But even so, the screams of torture still echoed every day in the prisons in the capital. Under the greeting of Mian Yiwei's torture, confessions of climbing and biting were handed over, and more people were tortured. There are more and more people locked in the prison.

Whether it is a businessman or a dignitary.All the seemingly invincible characters were caught in the prison.As a result, the prison is naturally getting more and more crowded. The prisoners in the prison are crowded into a pile. These people are lying on these straws, looking around in despair, their eyes are full of despair, and the prisoners are like this. With one, open there.

Waiting for an unknown fate, there was a stench in the air. It was extremely rare in Daming that so many people were imprisoned.

Suddenly, these desperate prisoners suddenly became agitated. They stood up and looked at the people who were being escorted in at Jinyiwei.

"It's Saizuru..."

Saihe is the alias of Zhao Nanxing, the leader of Donglin. Two years ago, after the failure of the party struggle between the Donglin Party members and the Eunuch Party, Zhao Nanxing was dismissed from his official position and his native place was removed from Daizhou.

But no one expected to see him here.

"Hasn't Mr. Qihe already been exiled to Daizhou? Why was he brought back again!"

"It must be the eunuch Wei Zhongxian who wants to kill all of them! He wants to take this opportunity to kill all the scholars and bureaucrats in the world!"

"Wei Zhongxian, you eunuch, we swear against a thief..."

Cursing and shouting echoed in the prison. Those people all saluted Zhao Nanxing. There were not many Donglin leaders alive.

From rebellion to chaos!
Everyone knows the end of such a crime is nothing more than a dead end.

The vast majority of them were bitten by others, and they can't tell the truth with their mouths. The only thing they can do in the face of severe punishment is to drag others into the water. While they are biting each other, their hearts are also Somewhat annoyed, but now, when they saw that Zhao Nanxing, who was over [-] years old, was also taken from exile to the capital, they naturally felt ashamed.

"I never thought that I could see Zhugong again today. It is really a blessing in my life to see you!"

Facing the crowd, Zhao Nanxing seemed extremely calm. When he was exiled two years ago, he had already looked down upon it, but now it was just a rehash of the past.

It's just... Zhao Nanxing couldn't help heaving a long sigh when he saw the familiar or unfamiliar faces in the prison.

Could it be that His Majesty is really so confused as to allow Wei Zhongxian to behave like this?
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. From then on, the vitality of the world's scholars will be greatly injured, and the country will not be a country?"

When he was imprisoned, there was only one thought in Zhao Nanxing's mind - the world's scholars might be seriously injured after this time, and they might not be able to recover within a hundred years.

"Your Majesty wants to use the vitality of Shilin to exchange for a hundred years of peace in the government!"

In the study of chief assistant Gu Bingqian, facing Ding Shaoshi, he rarely spoke the truth.

"From your Majesty's point of view, since the last years of Shenzong, my Ming Dynasty has been repeatedly defeated in Liaoyou. In the final analysis, there are many court discussions, constant party disputes, supervisors stop and some officials impeach him for not making progress and wasting the court's money. There is no merit, he was forced to advance aggressively, suffered a new defeat, and was impeached in the event of losing his teacher and humiliating the country. , although he is not a supervisor, he can control the situation in Liaoyou. Even if the generals on the front line intend to kill the captives, they are restrained by the struggle between the DPRK and China. Adhere to the plan of advancing and suppressing, and even fought and failed repeatedly, which eventually led to the loss of Liaoyou."

When he said these words, Gu Bingqian couldn't help but heaved a long sigh. He also saw what His Majesty saw, but what could he do?

"In the eyes of outsiders, I, Gu, is nothing more than an eunuch who joins forces with the eunuchs, and is just Wei Eun's mouthpiece, but..."

Looking up at Ding Shaoshi, Gu Bingqian said.

"Who knows, now that Daming is at the end of its rope, and the mess must be cut quickly? If the party struggle is allowed to continue, let alone Liaodong, even the great Ming will be at stake!"

"That's right!"

Ding Shaoshi sighed.

"The Great Ming Dynasty has been in a precarious situation for many years, but the princes in the court are all focused on political opinions to compete for superiority. The state affairs...the state affairs are so so, how can we argue? Others often say that Zhang Jiangling has extended the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty for 50 years. But who remembers that Zhang Jiangling was the head and assistant for ten years and handled the government affairs alone, thus avoiding the chaotic situation in Sejong's court. Although some people repeatedly impeached Jiangling, in those ten years, Ming finally had a little respite , Unlike later, the government and the central government have been fighting for decades, how can we save the crisis? How can we save the crisis when there are people holding back everywhere?"

Who doesn't know the current situation in Ming Dynasty!
Whether it's the sages of the people or the adults in the court, they are very clear about it, but what have they done?

"Jiangling..."

Gu Bingqian pondered.

"It's a pity that there is no Zhang Juzheng in the world anymore!"
