Domineering Daming

This is Gansu Governor Lin Rirui's memorial to impeach Qin Liangyu, saying that Qin Liangyu led a large army to suppress bandits in Shaanxi and Gansu in the middle of the year, and thousands of people were burned to death with fire. The people's grievances are raging, shaking Shaanxi and Gansu."

Zhu Xu kept watching without opening his mouth or picking up his pen.

His urgency had a great impact on the officials of Ming Dynasty, even Qin Liangyu felt it, her actions were more aggressive and decisive, even at any cost, regardless of her reputation.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Xu tapped his fingers and left the memorial.

Continue to read the notebook, there are too many strange things happening at this time, even if it is unreasonable, things that shouldn't be, and things that don't make sense will happen.

For example, the Suzhou government wrote a letter saying that there was a wealthy family in the local area who bought several hectares of land and built a huge manor at a cost of one million. When everyone saw it, it was actually very similar to the imperial palace in Nanjing, just to avoid taboo and hide it. something.

This family is not an ordinary family either, they are the descendants of a minister during the Jiajing period, the poems and books are handed down, and the Qing name is handed down.

Zhu Xu frowned, and said to himself: "What kind of ghosts and snakes have jumped out..." He didn't approve, and transferred the memorial to the cabinet, which will handle it.

After a while, an inner eunuch came in with a playbook and handed it to Cao Huachun.

At this time, the things sent are usually important things. Cao Huachun took the memorial, waved his hand, opened it immediately, looked at it, and then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet has requested an order. They plan to issue it tomorrow, pardoning Yang Lian and others." The will of the Donglin Party."

Zhu Xu took the memorandum and looked it over. It was Bi Ziyan's handwriting. He said that the time is right now, and the cabinet is ready to deal with it, so it can be announced.

"It's been brewing for a few days, but it's okay." Zhu Xu took the pen, approved the word "perfect", and then handed it to Cao Huachun, saying: "Tomorrow, you will go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to pardon a group of people. You don't need to do anything deliberately, it's normal. Just pass the decree."

"Observe the order." Cao Huachun raised his hand to take the memorandum, and he was secretly relieved.

The issue of the Donglin Party has been pressing down on the ruling and opposition parties. The big stone in Shilin's heart, no matter how they are exposed, the deep-rooted ideas cannot be completely changed. It will cause even more trouble.Now the pardon is tantamount to ending this knot. From then on, the emperor, the cabinet, government and opposition officials, and scholars all over the world can breathe a sigh of relief and relax a little.

Of course, the Donglin Party has never been able to reverse the case since then!

Cao Huachun personally sent the memorial to the cabinet, and then left after explaining a few words.

Sun Chengzong had already gone to the Ministry of War, and there were only Bi Ziyan and King Jing in the cabinet, and their squads were separated, so only Bi Ziyan received this "decree".

Bi Ziyan looked at the big "Zhun" written by Zhu Xu, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

The Donglin Party is now a big stone blocking the way, lying between the court and the hearts of scholars, it must be moved!

Bi Ziyan summoned Zheng Youyuan, and whispered in front of him: "Go, release the news, that the emperor will issue a decree to pardon the Donglin Party tomorrow, and everyone in the city must know it tonight!"

Zheng Youyuan understood, agreed, and said: "My lord, then, can some people be taken for their own use..."

"Don't even think about it!" Bi Ziyan's expression darkened, and he said, "After the Donglin Party is pardoned, no contact will be allowed, and all referrals and denunciations will be sealed and sent to the Supervisor of Rites, and no nonsense will be allowed in the future! "

Zheng Youyuan was stunned, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, is this necessary?"

Bi Ziyan looked at him coldly, and said: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, you and I have to be careful in doing things, this cabinet, everyone is the same without Da Ming!"

Hearing Bi Ziyan's stern warning, Zheng Youyuan's heart beat wildly, as if he had realized something, he said: "Yes, I understand."

Bi Ziyan took a deep breath and said, "Well, tell Prince Jing about this matter, let the Governor's Council make some preparations, prepare the morning newspaper, and how to report it, don't I need to teach you?"

Zheng Youyuan said: "If you want to promote, suppress first, demote Donglin, praise the emperor, and mention the strong advice of our cabinet inside."

Bi Ziyan frowned, wanted to get rid of the mention of the cabinet, and said, "Just mention the cabinet, don't mention it."

"Yes, the officer knows how to measure." Zheng Youyuan said, and then hurried out of Bi Ziyan's class.

It didn't take long for Prince Jing to know about it. He stood in front of the window and opened it to look outside.

The sky is getting darker, snowflakes are getting more and more, the cold wind is bleak, and there may be another heavy snow.

He looked up at the pitch-black sky, and sighed softly: "My Ming Dynasty has never stopped days..."

Prince Jing is also a person who is used to being at ease. Although he has done some things in the past few years, he still yearns for the kind of leisurely and lazy life that does not worry about eating and drinking.

The cabinet deliberately released rumors, and it didn't take long for the news to spread in all directions in the capital.

I don't know how many people are discussing, all kinds of strange remarks and rumors are intertwined and echoed over the capital tonight.

"Have you heard? The emperor wants to pardon Yang Dahong and all the criminal officials of the Donglin Party?"

"There was news a few days ago, but I don't know if it's true or not. Just now, the cabinet wrote to the emperor, and the emperor has agreed..."

"Yeah, Yang Dahong is the emperor's teacher after all, so we can't always control him like this, otherwise, where is the emperor's heart of benevolence and filial piety?"

"However, if you want me to say, the emperor and the imperial court are probably unable to hold on, and the trial of Donglin is to make an enemy of the gentlemen of the world..."

"It may be true. I heard that there are more and more people who will never enter the official position. Not only young scholars, some former officials have also refused to be recruited..."

"Haha, tell me, will the imperial court abolish that ban again? The 'nine bans' blocked most of the scholars in the world from the imperial examinations, and offended..."

"Even the Donglin Party can be pardoned. What else is there to embarrass? My guess is that there is a lack of a step. You wait and see. Before the imperial examination next year at the latest, the court will definitely change. Even if the ban cannot be abolished, there will be a change." , so that most of the scholars can become officials..."

"Extremely, extremely..."

In the big house in the east of the city, Wu Youwei, Wang Ji, and a Taoist priest sat together.

"drink!"

Wang Ji let out a loud cry, and drained the wine in his hand.

Wu Youwei and the Taoist also drank the wine in their hands with joy, and Qi Qi looked at Wang Ji in a relaxed mood.

Wang Ji looked at the two, and said with a wide smile: "The emperor is arrogant after all, and made a foolish move. When Yang Dahong comes out, we will be even more powerful, and there will be almost no obstacles for Yang Lian to recover. As long as we operate a little, we people in Donglin will definitely be able to do it." Once again, everyone is upright, eradicating evil and reshaping the world!"

When Wu Youwei saw it, he became enthusiastic and said: "My lord, I heard that Fu Changzong is sick now, so we can also make a move in the household department. If we can take some key positions, not to mention more power, at least we can control it." Less money and food."

Wang Ji didn't speak, but looked at the Taoist priest with a smile on his face.

The Taoist frowned, and said: "Recently, the situation in the court is a bit strange. Zhou Yingqiu and Fu Changzong are both the emperor's confidantes, in charge of the household and the second department of officials. If they fall, the emperor's prestige will definitely be greatly reduced. It is logically impossible, but now they are two They are all out of the house, but there are not many unusual movements from the government and the public..."

Chapter 846

Wang Ji looked at the Taoist priest's expression, his expression was also slightly gloomy, and said, "Master Immortal, what do you think?"

Wu Youwei's heart tightened even more, and he turned to look at the Taoist priest.

In fact, he is not stupid, he already had doubts in his heart.Recently, the turmoil in the court situation is strange, and it is really difficult to see clearly.They are people who want to do big things, how can they not see clearly?

The Taoist frowned, looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "The current emperor is indeed wise and powerful in some respects, and his control over the court far exceeds that of previous dynasties, and he is directly catching up with Taizu Taizong. , I want to accomplish everything overnight, so happy... From the first year of Chongzhen to the present, he has already emptied Daming's foundation. Strengthen yourself, turn the tide when the building is about to fall, and help the society when it collapses..."

Wang Ji nodded in satisfaction, and said: "The words of the immortal master are very suitable for me."

Wu Youwei was quite relieved, and said: "Then I will pick Master Yang out of prison when I make a decree tomorrow. Anyway, it's the memorabilia I wrote, and others can't say anything."

The Taoist said: "Not yet, the emperor still has other intentions in pardoning Master Yang and the Donglin Party, we might as well wait and see what happens."

Wang Ji's expression remained unchanged, and he agreed for a while: "The fairy teacher is right. The current emperor's emperor's mentality is comparable to Taizu Taizong. There are too many lessons learned from the past. We still need to be cautious."
