This is the benefit of being a human being in two lives and reading and knowing history.

The biggest reason why Wei Liangchen came to Ningbo to worship Shen Cheng on this mountain is not that Zhejiang is his Siming Xianggong who has the final say, but that this Siming Xianggong and his Wei Gonggong are on the same front, and it can even be said that they should be close comrades-in-arms.

First, the Zhejiang Party has always been the biggest political enemy of the Donglin Party.

Second, among the backbone members of the eunuch party, the Zhejiang party accounts for a large part.

The second uncle was able to collect a lot of commercial taxes from all over the world during the Apocalypse, and the biggest reason was that the Zhejiang Party made great efforts from it.

The reason why the Zhejiang Party was willing to work for the second uncle, and even gave up some of their personal interests, was that if they didn't do so, they would be completely driven out of the court by the Donglin Party.

Objectively speaking, although Shen has always been the leader of the Zhejiang Party, he and the Donglin Party were not incompatible at the beginning, after all, the Zhejiang Party and Donglin are both southerners, and their interests are also well water and river water, and even mutual assistance and complementarity.

If the goods in the south of the Yangtze River want to go to sea to make profits, they will take the line of sea trade of the Zhejiang Party.

Therefore, it can be said that the relationship between the two parties is cooperative.

At least in the battle for the national capital, although some people in the Zhejiang Party were eye-to-eyed with Zheng Jiamei, Shen Yiyi, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, was the same as the Donglin Party, firmly standing on the side of the emperor's eldest son, and finally facilitated Zhu Changluo to enter the East Palace.

The reason why the two parties, who could have continued to cooperate, had a lot of trouble, and Shen Cheng was about to pull down Shen Li, the second assistant of the Donglin Party, was purely caused by the Chu Zong case.

To be more precise, it was the Siming Prime Minister who accepted money to do things for others, but the Donglin Party insisted on ruining his reputation and wanted to take the opportunity to remove the Siming Prime Minister from power.

So the four Ming ministers were not convinced, and they had to discuss one, two, three, four with the Donglin Party, the more they reasoned, the more chaotic they became, and in the end, it was today's result.

The matter was provoked by Guo Zhengyu, the concubine of Wei Liangchen, Li Cuier, the fierce woman of the East Palace, and Guo Zhengyu, the teacher of her husband Zhu Changluo.

Although Guo Zhengyu is a member of the Donglin Party, he is actually a Chu person, but he does not deal with the Chu Party, but has a good relationship with the Donglin Party.

I don't know if it's a rumor or something true, anyway, Guo Zhengyu heard a rumor when he was at home, that is, the current King of Chu is not a descendant of the clan, but an impostor.

At the beginning of the country, Emperor Taizu Hongwu named his sixth son Zhu Zhen as the king of Chu, and the domain was in Hubei. Zhu Zhen's seventh grandson, Chu Gong Wang Zhu Yingyun, reigned for 20 years, and the widowed palace man Hu had twin sons Zhu Huakui and Zhu Huabi, who were taken care of by Guo Lun, the internal supervisor of the palace.

In the eighth year of Wanli, Wanli was crowned the first heir of Zhu Huakui, that is, the king of Chuding; Zhu Huabi was named the king of Xuanhua. However, regarding the origin of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, there are always people in the Chu Mansion who are full of doubts.

When it was determined to attack the lord, Wang Ruoquan, the guest of honor in the palace (the husband of the county lord), once said that Brother Hua Kui was not born to King Gong, but it was not taken seriously at that time, so Hua Kui was able to attack the king.

When Zhu Huakui ascended the throne, he was too young to serve as a director, and his uncle Zhu Xianhuai, the king of Wugang, acted as the government minister.

Zhu Xianhuai "knew his name" and was full of resentment towards Hua Kui, so he continued to steal the property of the palace. The people in the Chu Mansion were worried that Zhu Huakui's life experience would spread and cause unnecessary disputes, so they always held an attitude of calming things and allowing Zhu Xianhuai to steal property.

Later, under the intervention of Zhao Xian, the governor of Huguang, his brother Zhu Xianzhen, the king of Dong'an, was appointed as the head of the sect. Since then, the sectarians who doubted Zhu Huakui's legitimacy gradually ceased to be restrained, and the Chu Mansion was like a plate of scattered sand.

After Zhu Huakui took office, he adopted severe punishments for the criminal sects, but the methods were not accommodating, which caused the group to be dissatisfied.

In February of the 31st year of Wanli, Zhu Huayun, the lieutenant of the auxiliary state of the Chu Sect, who had always been strong, was reprimanded for offending the king of Chu, and was dissatisfied, so he united 29 people from the same sect and sent people to complain, calling Zhu Huakui a false king, and saying that Zhu Huakui and Zhu Huabi were not princes of Chu Gong.

Hua Kui is the son of You Jinmei, the concubine of Princess Gong's brother Wang Ruyan, and the son of Wang Yu, the concubine of the concubine Wang Ruyan's family, who was born a few months ago and then raised in the palace of the king of Chu. It is also said that Hua Zhen's wife is Wang Ruyan's daughter, which can be testified, so Hua Zhen knows very well.

This theory was recognized by many Chu clans, such as Zhu Yingsui, King of Dong'an, Zhu Huazeng, King of Wugang, and Zhu Huaan, King of Jiangxia, and thus triggered a protracted and wide-ranging dispute between the King of Chu and Chu Zong.

The Ming Dynasty punished the chaos of the clan blood unification very severely.

During the Chenghua period, the King of Hanyin in the Han Dynasty had a precedent of raising a different surname and pretending to be his own son, which was later revealed. The late Hanyin King Zhu Zhengjun was posthumously reduced to a concubine, and the queen mother and concubine Ping, the princess Zhou, as well as the pretended county king and county lord were all killed, and the princess's father, Zhou Lingchi, and his wife and concubine were all beheaded.

The younger brother of Zhu Zhongling, the king of Fangshan in the Jin Palace, and the general of Zhenguo, Zhu Zhongjun, also took the son born to his wife's brother and daughter-in-law as his own son, and after his death, he was exposed, and the title was posthumously cut, and his wife Zhang and Zhu Qiyi, who pretended to be his son, committed suicide, and Zhang's parents were beheaded. Zhu Zhongling, the king of Fangshan, knew about it and supported him, Ge Jue.

Now that the prince of Chu has made a fake king case, it is really a big deal.

Zhu Huayun's recital first went to the Department of General Administration.

When the song had not yet reached the hands of the emperor, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, was unwilling to start another dispute over this matter, causing the scandal of his family to be publicized, so he bribed Shen Zhengyi, the first assistant of the cabinet and the leader of the Zhejiang Party, so that Shen Zimu should not be neglected.

Shen Zimu, the general political envoy, was a member of the Zhejiang Party, and when he saw that the matter was complicated, he followed the instructions of the first assistant Shen and temporarily suppressed it.

The Envoy is the Secretary for Communications. The Department of General Administration is responsible for recording the suggestions, complaints, representations and military disasters of the subjects, and sending them to the department for handling, and major matters are decided by the decree, so Shen Zimu has this power.

More than a month later, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, impeached Zhu Huayun for "being tough and rude" and "deceitful" and other four crimes, and the matter was reported to Wanli.

Wanli ordered it to be handed over to the Ministry of Rites for investigation.

When Zhu Huazhen heard the news, he asked the Chu royal family and 29 famous people to jointly play a book, personally bring them into Beijing, and inform the political envoy to intercept the seal and Zhu Huakui's bribery.

Guo Zhengyu, who was the waiter of the Ministry of Rites at the time, was particularly concerned about this matter because he had heard that the king of Chu was a fake king, and he also learned that the king of Chu had sent 100 taels of gold to the first assistant Shen Zheng, and promised to send another 10,000 taels of silver in the future.

At this time, Guo Zhengyu couldn't sit still, he decided that the king of Chu gave a gift to Shoufu, which was a weak heart, which proved that the king of Chu was fake.

And Shoufu Shen has always accepted bribes to protect the king of Chu, which is itself a dereliction of duty and a big beetle of the country, so he revealed the matter to the emperor and asked the emperor to investigate.

Shen has always accepted money from the king of Chu, but he doesn't think that the king of Chu is fake, he only believes that this is the internal strife of Chu Sect, and it is Zhu Huayun and others who deliberately framed the king of Chu.

Guo Zhengyu stabbed this matter up, and also revealed that he received money from the king of Chu, which made Shen Zheng angry enough, and he couldn't sit still.

When Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, heard about this, he was very frightened, so he sent someone to send Guo Zhengyu a hundred taels of gold to celebrate his birthday, and promised to send 10,000 silver if Guo did not pursue the matter again.

This is to look at Guo Zhengyu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the first assistant, as a grade, but Guo Zhengyu refused the bribe of the King of Chu.

The king of Chu was panicked, although he was a pro-vassal vassal domain, he could only show his majesty in the palace, and the court of the capital division would allow him to interfere.

At this time, Shen has always made a move.

Lord Shoufu is quite authentic.,Collect people's money and do things for people.,And be sure to do things well.。

At the behest of Lord Shoufu, his confidant Qian Menggao Shangshu impeached Guo Zhengyu for "framing the pro-domain". The matter started from Guo Zhengyu, as long as Guo Zhengyu is solved, there will be nothing to do.

Although Guo Zhengyu is a member of the Donglin Party, Shen Zheng doesn't care about what the Donglin Party thinks at this time, or if Guo Zhengyu is removed, his first assistant will be troublesome.

After Wanli learned about this, he did not say anything easily. He personally ordered the eunuch Zhang Cheng to transfer the relevant documents in the relevant recitals and sect documents, and verified them in person for the first time.

In the end, Wanli vetoed Guo Zhengyu's "fake king of Chu" on the grounds of "insufficient evidence", and issued a decree to reprimand Guo Zhengyu and dismiss him.

Originally, this was the end of the matter.

The relationship between the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party will not be broken because of one person.

But the four Ming Xianggong is a person who must be revenged, and his resentment for Guo Zhengyu's unprovoked attack on himself has not disappeared, and it just so happened that the "demon book case" happened at this time.

Shen Yi took advantage of the topic and sent troops to surround Guo's mansion, captured the Guo family's nurse, and lured her to come out. Then he sent troops to surround Guo's temporary residence, which had left Beijing to temporarily live in Yang Village, a hundred miles away, and strictly forbade the Guo family to go out.

Seeing that the daily necessities were scarce, Mrs. Guo reluctantly took off the hairpin and other jewelry on her head, and sent her daughter into the village to buy firewood and rice to relieve the difficulty of having no food.

Guo Zhengyu felt that he was in danger and knew that Shen Zheng wanted to die by himself, so he sent his family to escape from Yang Village on a night when he couldn't see his fingers, and went to the residence of the eunuch Wang An, the prince of the capital, and begged him to quickly ask the prince Zhu Changluo to try to rescue him.

Wang An is also a responsible person, and he reported the matter to the prince as soon as possible.

The teacher is in trouble, of course Zhu Changluo has to save it.

The dignified prince didn't even dare to save his own teacher, which inevitably chilled the hearts of outsiders.

At Wang An's suggestion, Zhu Changluo quickly summoned Chen Ju, the celebrant of the Admiral East Factory, and asked Chen Ju to look at his face in a pleading tone and spare Mr. Guo.

Chen Ju, as the eunuch of Si Li's palm seal, and at the same time the commander of Dongchang, can be described as the first person in the inner court, and he also supports Zhu Changluo, and he is also very close to the Donglin Party. But he didn't know about Shen's arrest of Guo Zhengyu, but the prince had complained to him, an old slave, that he couldn't ignore it, so he decided to interfere in the matter.

In this way, one comes to sell the prince's affection, and the other is to sell the face of the Donglin Party.

As for Shen Zheng's side, Chen Ju is not afraid. You must know that Shen has never entered the cabinet, but he is bent on scolding his father-in-law Chen.

At the behest of Chen Ju, Dongchang sent someone to bring the Guo family's nurse Gong and her ten-year-old daughter, and asked, "Have you seen the demon book in your old man's house?" ”

The daughter replied, "There is a room full of them." ”

After hearing this, Chen Ju smiled and said: "The demon book is only two or three pages, how much? Then he released the mother and daughter of the Gong family on the spot, and ordered the withdrawal of the cavalry that surrounded the Guo family in Yang Village.

Si Li printed a speech, and the brocade clothes who surrounded Yang Village did not dare to disobey, and the Guo family's difficulties were solved.

Shen always heard that Chen Ju came forward, and knew that it was Donggong who begged Chen Ju for love, and knew that he couldn't kill Guo Zhengyu, but he was not reconciled, so he used Guo Zheng as an excuse to let Dongchang put Guo Zhengyu in prison and not be released.

At this point, Chen Ju gave Shen Cheng face, as long as people don't die, he can also explain to the East Palace.

At the same time, Shen Li, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at the time, was also trying to find a way to rescue Guo Zhengyu. He informed Li Sancai of the matter, hoping that Li Sancai would be able to mediate.

Li Sancai has been serving as Caofu for many years, and his prestige is very heavy, and he is the governor of the ministers, and Shen has always been the first assistant, and he must also sell Li Sancai's face. And Shen has always attached great importance to Li Sancai, if Li Sancai comes forward, this matter will take a turn for the better.

After receiving Shen Li's letter, Li Sancai immediately wrote a letter to Shen Zhengyi, which was very cleverly written, first dissecting Guo Zhengyu, pointing out that Guo had no prejudice against Shen, and that he was a matter of facts in the matter of the king of Chu, and he was definitely not a personal enmity with Shen Zhengyi.

After Shen always read the letter, considering that the East Palace was bent on rescuing Guo Zhengyu, he might not be able to put Guo to death, and Si Li Bingbi Chen Ju did not agree to execute Guo, if he Shen always insisted on putting Guo to death, after he ascended the throne in the East Palace, there would be no other Shen Zheng He would end well, and the Si Li Jian was afraid that there would be some trouble, so he let Guo Zhengyu go.

The matter came to an end, and Shen's Zhejiang Party and Donglin Party did not fight because of this matter, and the relationship between the two sides was still good.

The fuse that led to the complete reversal of the Zhejiang Party and Donglin was the cabinet dispute - that is, the dispute between the two Shen.

Shen has always been to Shen Li.

Due to the vacancy of the cabinet ministers, and Shen Li was very popular among the courtiers, when the court promoted the cabinet ministers, the officials listed him as the first person to recommend.

When the Donglin party was powerful, there were many important ministers, and the power of science and technology was also very great, Shen had always been worried that Shen Li, who was born in Donglin, would replace himself after entering the cabinet and suppress the Zhejiang party, so he wanted to prevent Shen Li from entering the cabinet.

He thought about it, and it was definitely not possible to stop it. Tingtui is a holy will and a legal procedure, and openly vetoing Shen Li's qualifications to enter the cabinet is undoubtedly against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

As a result, Shen always wrote a letter to Li Sancai, in which he said that if the Duke of De (Shen Li) came, there would be a dispute in the cabinet, which would be unfavorable to state affairs. You, Li Sancai and Shen Li, are members of the same party, so it is better for you to give an idea and see how this matter can be resolved.

On the surface, Shen has always regarded Li Sancai as his own family and is consulting him on countermeasures, but in fact, Shen wants to use Li Sancai's mouth to send a message to Shen Li, hinting that there is a murderous motive in the cabinet, forcing Shen Li to retreat in the face of difficulties and not join the cabinet.

Li Sancai is very shrewd, don't you know Shen's thoughts?

But Shen Li's entry into the cabinet in Donglin is a big benefit, this kind of thing he Li Sancai can't look forward to, how can he stop it. Therefore, he did not prevent Shen Li from entering the cabinet as Shen always wished, but urged Shen Li to take office as soon as possible, so that with Shen Li as a nail in the cabinet, he could break the situation in which Shen Li always ruled the world with the Zhejiang party.

But Li Sancai still had to reply to Shen Zheng.

In this letter, he strongly praised Shen Li for being loyal, not taking away the beauty of others, and not causing trouble to Shen Chengyi, and persuaded Shen Cheng to be of one heart and one mind with Shen Li, and put social welfare first.

After reading Li Sancai's letter, Shen always knew what Li Sancai's idea was, and since then he has no longer contacted Li Sancai, and regarded this Cao Fu as a villain.

As Shen always expected, Shen Li immediately had a head-on conflict with him after entering the cabinet.

The matter was caused by the issue of mining taxes.

There was a civil rebellion in Suzhou, and the weavers in Suzhou led by Ge Cheng began to parade the streets because of their opposition to the tax envoy Sun Long's levy of silver, and surrounded the tax office, killing several people from the weaving yamen tax envoy, and frightened the weaving eunuch Sun Long to escape over the wall. From then on, he only dared to stay in Hangzhou, and never dared to go to Suzhou again.

After the incident was reported, Wanli was angry and uneasy at the same time. Because since he sent mine tax inspectors to the public, there have indeed been many people in various places who have been chasing and killing mine tax inspectors, but it has never happened in Jiangnan. And Jiangnan weaving tax is quite a lot, after this civil change, I am afraid that the tax will be greatly reduced, affecting the income of the inner treasury.

Wanli sent an edict to the cabinet and asked the cabinet ministers what good plans they had.

Shen has always been very aware of the emperor's intentions, and knew that it was impossible for the emperor to stop the mining tax, and the emperor suddenly issued an order to strike the mining tax, but he regretted it at dawn, that is, he failed to insist, so the withdrawal of the mine came to naught. At that time, the eunuch pointed at his nose angrily and scolded, which was also something he was worried about. But he also understood that even if he did not return his will, the emperor could not really dismiss the mine tax collector.

Therefore, he pondered for a long time and proposed the method of "including taxes and mines," that is, instructing provincial officials to levy taxes and silver according to the amount approved by the mine supervisors. Or the tax index will be issued to the people at one time, and the local government will convert it into silver and pay it over.

In this way, the emperor's internal treasury tax revenue will not be reduced, but also the local pressure can be reduced. Because the tax package is concretely implemented, the local government and the wealthy will not pay more taxes because of this, and it is the ordinary people who will eventually increase the tax.

Wanli thought that this method was good, but Shen Li retorted on the spot that the method proposed by Shoufu would change the soup and not the medicine.

Shen Li believes that the most important thing at the moment is not to change the way of collecting taxes, but to withdraw all the mine tax commissions all over the country, so as to appease the anger of the people and enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

As soon as Wanli heard it, he didn't need to discuss it anymore, and walked away.

According to Shen Li, Wanli has been busy all these years.

Maybe Sun Long was driven to Hangzhou and Hangzhou, without the tax in Suzhou, at least there would be the tax in Hangzhou, but if all the tax envoys were withdrawn according to Shen Li's words, then Wanli would not see any taxes.

Shen has always been dissatisfied with Shen Li's refutation of himself in front of the emperor.

Since then, there have been incidents in various places.

On how to deal with it, Shen Li's opinions are all contrary to Shen's, and one of the first and second assistants should face east and one should face west, which makes it difficult for the cabinet to operate.

Liang Yong, the tax envoy from Shaanxi, asked the emperor to approve him to take over the post of "town guard", but Shen Li stopped from blocking him. Moreover, Gao Huai, the mine supervisor of Liaodong, planned to lead the commander-in-chief soldiers into Beijing to plead the emperor in the name of tribute, and Shen Li entered the palace overnight to play a secret game to the emperor to stop it......

In all this, Shen Li directly crossed the Shoufu Shen Cheng and acted alone, which made Shen Cheng very unhappy, and understood that Shen Li's purpose in doing this was to replace him.

Wanli had demoted many officials because of the dispute over the country's capital, and Shen Li believed that now that the country had been decided, the officials who had been demoted and dismissed should be reinstated, but Shen consistently disagreed. Wanli agreed and issued an edict, but it was returned by Shen Yi.

This incident further intensified the dispute between the two Shens.

Shen Cheng thought about how to get rid of Shen Li, and Shen Li was also plotting to expel Shen Yiyi.

Shen Li's helper is Li Sancai.

He instructed Li Sancai to write a book to attack Shen Yiyi, so Li Sancai published a book entitled "Jichen National Governance and Chaos", attacking Shen Yiyi.

Li Sancai said in the sparse that Shen has always had evil intentions, and he was worried that the reinstated officials would retaliate against him, so he obstructed its implementation.

He also said that the emperor's edict had been issued, but it was shelved halfway, so that the people of the world and the officials thought that the emperor was just a momentary pleasure to talk about.

When Wanli listened to the eunuch reading in the Qianqing Palace, he was displeased, and he thought that Li Sancai was attacking him through the mouth of the official, which was disrespectful, so he issued an edict to give Li Sancai a punishment. However, Wanli was also dissatisfied with Shen's consistent disobedience to the yang and the yin, and did not actively implement the holy edict.

Shen has always known that it was inappropriate for him to return the emperor's edict, so he pretended to be sick at home, but all the major events in the DPRK and China were known.

When he heard that the emperor was angry and punished Li Sancai, Siming Xianggong was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly wrote a secret letter to the emperor, in which he proposed to arrest Li Sancai, Shen Li, and Guo Zhengyu, and punish them for forming a party and disrupting the country.

Wanli was surprised when he read Shoufu's secret letter, and he said to Chen Ju, the eunuch of the palm print: "The elder of the pavilion is really sick!" It's incredible, how can I casually arrest a minister, a governor, or a servant because of one of his speeches? ”

After speaking, Wanli grabbed the pen and criticized Shen Zheng's secret letter: "Since Qing is sick, I will listen to my arrangement later." ”

Obviously, Wanli deliberately let the seventy-two-year-old Shen always leave his post and return to his hometown, after all, this Shoufu is not too obedient, especially his attitude in the country has always made him mind. Replaced by other first assistants, I am afraid that the storage position of the East Palace has not yet been decided.

Speaking of which, the first assistant who really reassures Wanli is still Wang Xijue, but unfortunately, he can't recover again.

The relationship between the eunuch Chen Ju and the Donglin Party was very close, and the two sides had their own communication channels, and soon Li Sancai, who was far away in Fengyang, learned the emperor's attitude from Chen Ju.

It is worthy of being a think tank in Donglin, and Li Sancai can see that the emperor is already very dissatisfied with Shen Yiyi, and the opportunity to completely drive away Shen Yiyi and suppress the Zhejiang Party has arrived. At the moment, he quickly wrote a note, emphasizing that due to Shen's narrow-mindedness, the first assistant and the second assistant Shen Li were not in agreement, resulting in a bad government order. and exposed that Shen had always been corrupt and accepted a number of bribes.

Gu Xiancheng, who was far away in Wuxi, was as sensitive as his nose, and immediately wrote to the Donglin officials in Beijing, asking them to fight together and be sure to knock down Shen Yicheng.

Donglin Party members, Chen Liangxun, Yushi Sun Juxiang and others immediately took action to spread the word "The general trend of Siming is difficult for a long time!" Rumors.

Under the command of Li Sancai, the departments and departments controlled by Donglin have been impeached by Shen for "forming a party" and "being treacherous and corrupt", and the matter is getting bigger and bigger, and Shen's position in the DPRK and China has become precarious.

Soon, under internal and external pressure, Shen finally returned to his hometown of Zhejiang. It is better to retire by oneself than to be driven away by the emperor.

However, before leaving, Shen always considered that if Shen Li stayed in the cabinet, it would be unfavorable to the Zhejiang Party officials, so he sent people to bribe the emperor's inner servants and instructed them to say more about Shen Li's in front of the emperor, so that Shen Li could not settle down. Wanli was a little suspicious that Shen Li had made a mess of things in the cabinet after he entered the cabinet, so he simply drove Shen Li away.

After Shen Cheng succeeded in pulling Shen Li off the horse, he was worried that Li Sancai would definitely soar in the future and be promoted to the general constitution, and that the Donglin Party would definitely replace the Zhejiang party to control the government, so he instructed his cronies to participate in Li Sancai's impeachment at the right opportunity, especially to prevent him from being promoted to the general constitution or joining the cabinet council.

To the surprise of the four Ming ministers, just a year after he returned to his hometown, Li Sancai was suddenly demoted to a commoner by the emperor's decree for stealing the imperial mausoleum wood.

This is undoubtedly a rain from heaven, and the happy Siming Xianggong drank two more cups.

And this matter is Wei Liangchen's vote.
