I'm really not the carpenter emperor

As soon as Wei Zhongxian's intention came out, the Wei party members stopped hiding, and all kinds of gossip were flying all over the sky, intending to put Donglin to death.

Now, things are getting bigger and bigger, and even Wei Zhongxian's goal has changed.

The eunuch party's memorials are only a lot more than those of the Donglin party. They cannot preside over the reconsideration, but they can control the government and make the Donglin party speechless.

How to do it?

It's very simple. Chen Jiuchou and Wei Guangwei, who were important ministers of the Donglin Party, took the lead first, and those who should go to the public are lurking among the people.

Tell the details of this reply and expose it to the public.

Even if the eunuchs of the eunuchs are exposed, their reputation will only get worse, but the Donglin Party, who have always erected Qingliu people, will surely die once they see the light.

Wei Guangwei and Chen Jiuchou were once important ministers of Donglin, and they each drafted a memorial, explaining the relationship between the reconsideration and the ministers of the Donglin Party, and leaking countless rumors.

The key target is Wei Dazhong.

Wei Dazhong is Xie Yingxiang's teacher, that's why he, along with Zhao Nanxing and other Donglin party members, strongly recommended the latter to be the governor of Ningxia. This is one of them.

In the memorial, Wei Guangwei also pointed out that Wei Dazhong had no one to tell the truth, and often said a word:

"When I was young, my family was very poor, and I was self-taught as a student. Because of my talent, I was appreciated by Mr. Jing Yi, and I worshiped him as a teacher."

Mr. Jing Yi in these words is Gao Panlong.

Wei Dazhong took this as an honor, and the Donglin party members also boasted evilly. At first glance, it seemed that there was no major problem.

However, Wei Guangwei continued to dig deeper based on his own experience in the test.

In the 44th year of Wanli, the 41-year-old Wei Dazhong finally passed the Jinshi, and the Donglin Party members even praised him as a late bloomer...

So here comes the question, if Wei Dazhong is really like what he said, he became a student by self-study, and then he is valued by Gao Panlong, after all, he should be a little child prodigy, why is it so difficult to get a Jinshi.

Looking at who hosted the test at that time, it makes sense.

The ones who didn't get caught were Gao Panlong and Zhao Nanxing!

After that, it is not very surprising that Wei Dazhong's official career has been steadily rising all the way.

Wei Dazhong is not the only one who can be picked out, many so-called great sages, who came from official careers in their early years, are extremely afraid of careful thinking!

This is just what Wei Guangwei said, Chen Jiuchou also has a new play.

Wei Dazhong's teacher, Gao Panlong, was Zhao Nanxing's student in the early years, and Zhao Nanxing actually had correspondence with that Jiangjia county magistrate, Xie Yingxiang.

The Taoism in the Donglin Party is very chaotic, but there are traces to follow.

It's not that Wei Zhongxian is ignorant of these things, he has already figured them out, but why hasn't he done anything?

One is that the evidence is insufficient, and public opinion is not entirely in his own hands, and the other is that the timing is not ripe, and it is useless to speak out.

To deal with the Donglin Party, chess must be played step by step.

Originally, this time, Wei Zhongxian just wanted to use Wei Guangwei to attack Wei Dazhong and grab the position of governor of Ningxia.

But it was because of Zhao Nanxing and Wei Dazhong that this matter was broken.

Not to mention Zhao Nanxing, since he was concurrently appointed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he became more and more drifting, Wei Zhongxian couldn't keep up with him even if he thought about it, and Wei Dazhong, who said nothing lightly or seriously, was alive and well!

According to Wang Chaofu's news, the emperor was already a little bit angry, so Wei Zhongxian naturally had to act quickly, or he would be killed.

If Wei Zhongxian didn't do anything, he would think that if he did, it would hurt Dong Lin's muscles and bones.

For example, this time, unless Zhao Nanxing and Wei Dazhong are completely abolished, Wei Zhongxian will not stop.

As soon as Wei Guangwei and Chen Jiuchou broke the news, the so-called ins and outs and cause and effect can all be connected.

What the Donglin Party is good at is to link a trivial matter to the foundation of the ancestors and exaggerate it.

This time Wei Zhongxian did the same thing and gave them a beautiful counterattack. After breaking the news, he immediately signaled the cabinet minister Gu Bingqian and the minister of the Ministry of War Cui Chengxiu to leave.

These two people have long been hard-core eunuchs, deeply aware of their intentions, and stated in the memorial that these officials who shielded each other during the reconsideration and responded internally and externally had one thing in common, and they were all from Donglin.

Usually at this time, the Donglin Party will definitely go to the Shu to defend.

Wei Zhongxian had expected that Gu Bingqian and Cui Chengxiu would list another group of officials who had committed crimes and were arrested in the memorial to silence them.

For example, Yang Lian, Gao Panlong, Ye Xianggao, and many ministers who were still officials in the court once despised the emperor's youth and formed a party to take power.

Without exception, these people were all from Donglin.

If they are not punished this time, the "officials from Donglin" will endanger the foundation of their ancestors and the country and society of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Gu Bingqian, Cui Chengxiu, Wei Guangwei, Chen Jiuchou and other members of the so-called "eunuch party" made a series of memorials. Although the number was not as large as that of Donglin party members such as Wei Dazhong and Zhao Nanxing, it played a decisive role.

Chapter 173 Changes in the Chaotang Situation

As the memorials of Cui Chengxiu and Gu Bingqian were sent to the imperial court, all the members of the Donglin Party in the Manchu Dynasty fell silent.

Why there is no movement, is it because Wei Zhongxian's deadly posture is completely frightened.

Wei Zhongxian has already said clearly that this world belongs to the Zhu family, and there is an emperor in the court, so these "sages" can't help but point their fingers and speak lies.

Gu Bingqian, Cui Chengxiu, Wei Guangwei, Chen Jiuchou, these new and old eunuchs also spoke for Zhu Youxiao and echoed with one voice.

The way is that the world of the Zhu family has not yet fallen, so why should they gossip, this is not okay, that is not right?

If anyone dares to say that they are not coming, the emperor will kill them all. We all support the emperor's holy judgment.

This is not over yet, Wang Tiqian is also secretly plotting to publish the relationship between Wei Dazhong, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and others in the recent issues of "Beijing News".

It didn't take long, countless rumors spread from the government and the public, and even from the market place, and the common people were all lamenting that it turned out that Wei Dazhong's senior high school recruiter was a senior teacher, Panlong, who walked through the back door!

Wei Zhongxian's role lies in this.

Zhu Youxiao was just a little irritable in the Nuan Pavilion at that time, and he said a serious sentence, which was heard in his ears, and he was about to share his master's worries immediately.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Zhu Youxiao being an emperor.

After Wei Zhongxian's ups and downs, Zhu Youxiao has nothing to say, without the cabinet's vote, he issued another edict in the first month of the second year of Tianqi:

"Wei Dazhong bullied me and was young, manipulated the society, and rewarded teachers and students with the imperial court's seal of borders. If Xie Yingxiang really caressed Ningxia, what kind of government would it be?

Xie Yingxiang and Wei Dazhong were downgraded by three levels each, transferred to other places, and never returned to Beijing. "

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Household Affairs:

"The ministers of your ministry and court will push you according to the order. Why do you have to be vague and biased? There will be a new edict in the future, and a unified order.

If there are still those who continue to follow the past, form a party with friends, and confuse state affairs, they will also be published in the "Beijing News" to let the people of the world know, and then deal with it seriously.I will never tolerate it! "

Once this wave is over, the common people will understand why the emperor blamed the Donglin party members so much.

Feelings of Donglin party members over the years, those good reputations are all fake, even Wei Dazhong, a heroic and important minister, has a relationship with all of them.

What about others, isn't there more?

He, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the important ministers of the Ministry of Officials were all listed in the newspaper this time, and were severely reprimanded by the emperor. Zhao Nanxing, who was in charge of both ministries, was pushed to the forefront by the general trend of public opinion.

The result this time was that the Donglin Party lost almost everything and the Eunuch Party won a complete victory.

The main credit is due to the Beijing News. The common people know what kind of guy Wei Dazhong is. No matter what the emperor does, it should be done.

Wei Guangwei and Chen Jiuchou, one for revenge, and the other for taking office in Ningxia, have resorted to their best efforts.

In the end, both of them got what they wanted, Wei Guangwei ascended to the sky in one step, became a bachelor of Jindong Pavilion, and joined the cabinet to assist the government.

Although Chen Jiuchou didn't immediately get the imperial decree to let him take up the post in Ningxia, he didn't panic at all. Anyway, Wei Zhongxian supported him. Once the limelight passed, the position of governor of Ningxia would be his sooner or later.

As for Wei Dazhong, he was the one who got screwed the most this time.

After the imperial edict, many people held back their laughter, thinking that Wei Dazhong Tiao Huan, who belonged to the Donglin Party at that time, was now transferred to the Southwest, and he would never even think about returning to the imperial court, and would stay there to teach.

Judging from this guy's ability to jump on the court, Southwest teaching is just suitable for him, making his keyboard warrior skills very powerful.

This time, Zhu Youxiao completely tore up the hypocrisy of the ministers of the Donglin Party and did not save them any face.

Not to mention how miserable the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials have been criticized, just the four words "friends conspiring to form a party" means not killing people but punishing their hearts.

This is a big hat, coupled with the support of public opinion from the Beijing News, it is enough to completely crush people to death.And this time Zhu Youxiao suppressed the entire Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, not just one person.

There is only a difference between "friends and cliques" and "cliques for personal gain", but the severity is quite different.The latter is at most a party formation, while the former can be implicated in coups and rebellions.

The courtiers repeatedly impeached in the memorials, which was a party dispute, and it was not a big deal, but Emperor Tianqi reprimanded it in the imperial edict, which is no small matter.

Regarding this, it is impossible for Zhao Nanxing, who is also in charge of the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to say nothing. Many people are watching, and this cannot be avoided.

On the third day after Zhu Youxiao refuted the imperial edict issued by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Nanxing finally couldn't bear the criticism from the government and the opposition.

This time, Zhu Youxiao was more straightforward than Yang Lian's time, he didn't even issue the imperial edict, and issued the imperial decree from Xinuan Pavilion, and there were no good words of consolation in his words, and there were many ironic words.

"When Chen Jiuchou applied for a job, if Qing hadn't said a word of promise for that little face, why would there be such a commotion today?

And in the meeting by order, Qing was also unfair and unfaithful. He deceived me to rush to the throne as a child, and played tricks on me.

After recent events, I have seen with my own eyes that you are old, faint, and unable to do anything.How can you hope that the Qing will also manage the Ministry and the Academy to clarify the administration of officials in the country?

Now Qing has self-knowledge and resigned from the blame because of his old age. "

In a party struggle, when Wei Zhongxian made a move, the Donglin Party was completely defeated.

The court battle never stops for a moment, it is a continuous war without gunpowder smoke, Zhu Youxiao's edict "friends conspire to form a party", don't kill people, but kill people's hearts.

This also directly led to Zhao Nanxing's unbearable criticism, so he resigned and returned to his hometown.

……

The last time Yang Lian resigned, it caused a disturbance in the court. Countless ministers came forward, some of them begged for mercy, and some of them met and said goodbye.

This time Zhao Nanxing returned home, but it was a bleak scene, no one kept him, and no one interceded for him.

Within a few days after Zhao Nanxing left Beijing, nearly half of Donglin officials from the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate handed in memorials one after another, participating in and impeaching themselves.

This time Zhu Youxiao played tricks, Xinuange directly issued an imperial edict, sending the self-impeachment reports of all Donglin officials to the cabinet for drafting, and then approved the redemption himself.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Han Yu, and the second assistant, Liu Yixiu, are both the meritorious ministers of the Donglin Party, but now that the situation is over, what can they say?

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are both among the Jiuqing, and they are the first-class court officials.

Because of the election of the governor of Ningxia, there was an uproar in the court, but in the end, Zhao Nanxing, who was also the Minister of the Ministry, resigned, and Donglin Yuanxun Wei Dazhong was transferred, and the imperial edict was still so strict.

Everyone at the time said that this was a rare example in all dynasties.

But this is not over yet. With the help of the ministers of the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Wei Zhongxian mobilized his connections and transferred a group of Donglin civil servants, including Zhang Guangxian, the doctor of the anthology department of the Ministry of officials, and Zou Weihua, the doctor of the kaogong department, to the Southwest as lecturers.

Chen Jiuchou will officially go to Ningxia to take office after January.

Afterwards, three officials of the Donglin Party in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were reprimanded, and they were all dismissed and returned to their original places. Suddenly, the situation of the government changed suddenly.

Now that Zhao Nanxing had resigned, there were vacancies in the posts of Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate respectively inscribed the books. Please use Chen Yuting, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Liu Zongzhou, the censor of the left deputy capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although these two were promoted naturally in order of rank, logically speaking, Emperor Tianqi knew that they belonged to the Donglin Party, so how could he approve them.

Wei Zhongxian was not worried about this at all.

The ancients often said that companionship with a monarch is like companionship with a tiger. This is very reasonable. Before, Zhu Youxiao of the Donglin Party was criticized arbitrarily.

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian felt chills in his heart.

The yamen of the Ministry will push, and there are many candidates, from all parties and factions, and Donglin is no exception. Who can guarantee that these two important positions will be filled by their eunuchs?

Chapter 174 Zhu Youjian, Son of the Plane?

After several disturbing days and nights, news suddenly came from Xinuang Pavilion that Emperor Tianqi was coming to court.

The three main halls are still far away from the completion date, so Maoqin Hall was chosen as the location for the court this time.

There are still two days left before Zhengdan Day. At this time, the Ming Dynasty is immersed in the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival everywhere.

There was also news that the Yamen of the Chief Secretary of Henan had paid tribute to Xiangrui.

According to the playbook of the Yamen of the Chief Secretary of Henan Province, the water of the Yellow River is not as turbid as in the past this year, and it is clear to the bottom.

Residents on both sides of the strait accidentally dug out a seal from the sandy bottom, engraved with "Ordered by the sky, long life forever", it is the imperial jade seal that has disappeared for 500 years!

When the news spread to the capital, the government and the public are brilliant, and the whole country is boiling!

Yuxi has been in the capital for several days, and the rumors about authenticity and falsehood have overshadowed the voices that will recommend candidates for the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials.

There are those who are categorically false, and there are more people who verify the truth, and the civil servants all speak with certainty.

For Zhu Youxiao, it doesn't matter whether Yuxi is real or not, what matters is whether the Ming Dynasty needs him to be true or not.
