Chapter 356: The Fall of the Eunuchs

Mao Wenlong pondered that if Lord Huang inserted a lever in North Korea, Dongjiang Town's restoration of Tuntian District would be of great benefit to future development. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He said: "Lord Huang, Dongjiang Town is very poor and has only one bad life, if Lord Huang sends troops to North Korea, he must be willing to be a pawn, you can rest assured that a certain son is not a bad breed, all of them have a blood feud with Jiannu, and every time they go into battle, they will fight hard." ”

Huang Sheng patted Mao Wenlong's thick shoulder in fear and said: "Mao Shuai Gaoyi is worthy of being the minister of the Ming humerus, okay!" In a word, when the time comes, the Huang and Mao families will bleed Jiannu together. ”

Mao Wenlong's population is hundreds of thousands, most of them are now idle on the island, and the law and order situation is terrible, he knows that population is the key factor of development, and he is reluctant to abandon these Liao people who have taken the initiative to take refuge.

If the land is recaptured and the land is cultivated, it will not only increase the food supply, but also prevent many people from fighting and fighting all the time on the island.

After negotiating this happy thing, Mao Wenlong was drunk and drunk, and Mao Chenglu helped him to get on the warship and return to Phi Island.

On August 8, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Zhu Youxiao died in the Qianqing Palace, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse had three boys and two women, none of whom grew up and had no children. The edict established the fifth brother Xinwang Zhu Youzhen as the emperor, that is, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the last real emperor of the Han people, Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhu Youxiao's deathbed entrusted his younger brother Zhu Youzhen with state affairs and said: "My brother should be Yao Shun." And instructed King Xin to do good deeds after succeeding to the throne, the middle palace married his wife Empress Zhang, and reused the old eunuch Wei Zhongxian.

It's a pity that Zhu Youzhen only listened to his brother's last words and treated Empress Zhang well, not only did he not reuse Wei Zhongxian, but he asked for Wei Zhongxian's old life only a few months after he came to power.

During the national funeral of the Ming Dynasty, all entertainment activities stopped, and the "Blood and Fire Liaodong" drama was not stopped, but was still widely publicized to build momentum for this drama.

Cao Huachun finally turned over in September, Emperor Chongzhen sent someone to pick him up and return to Beijing, Zhang Youlu took nine teenagers to accompany the captain of the Jinyi Guard to escort Cao Huachun to the foot of the imperial city, and the old eunuch said goodbye to the ten teenagers who had been with him for half a year, and the old eyes were actually in tears.

Because all the public entertainment venues in the Ming Dynasty did not dare to operate, but let the members of the "Wonderland on Earth" skyrocket several times, although the song and dance hall and billiard hall here stopped operating, but the bathing did not belong to the prohibited range, and the dignitaries had no place to have fun at night, so they had to come to the sauna in groups of three or five to take the mountain.

The imperial court was at a time of treachery, and officials in sensitive periods had to be connected in series, but they could not give each other a handle, so the chance encounter of "fairyland on earth" became a tacit understanding.

Later, it developed to the "fairyland on earth" and became a gathering place for officials from all walks of life in the imperial court, and officials from various departments of the Ming Dynasty who came here could find it, and it became the best place for upper-class social interactions.

The membership card is sought after, it is really a symbol of status, too many businessmen who want to find a way to do things are helpless, and the Huang family is of course very profitable.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen came to power, he wanted to make great efforts, and immediately operated the Donglin Party, where too many bureaucrats took office, and the Ming Dynasty began the so-called "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty". It's a pity that the development of the current situation nakedly hit the faces of these Donglin Party people who can only ponder people and will not ponder things.

Because the Donglin Party adopted a loose fiscal and taxation policy of not competing with the people for profit, the mining tax, commercial tax, and vehicle and vessel tax of the Ming Dynasty were sharply reduced, and the fiscal expenditure was stretched.

The Donglin Party did not compete with the people for profit, but did not compete for profit with bureaucratic capital, and the tax burden of the poor peasants increased instead of decreasing. Because of their absurd governing ideas, the people are even more miserable, and indirectly push many ordinary people to the opposite side of the imperial court.

A clown jumped out again, and he was not only reinstated but also able to often appear in Emperor Chongzhen's field of vision. The honest boy Zhu Youzhen listened to Yuan Chonghuan's bold words several times, thinking that this person was of great use, and gave him the official position of secretary of the military department.

Fortunately, the ministers of the Shangshu King of the Liaodong Military Department are very different from history, because Huang Sheng took him to burn the cold stove of King Xin too early, Emperor Chongzhen had a good impression of him and trusted him.

And because the situation in Liaodong has not yet eroded out of control, there is no minister of the king for the time being.

In late October of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party patrolled the Zhili Yushi Jia Jichun to impeach Cui Chengxiu for disloyalty and unfilial piety, which began to kick off the prelude to castration. In November, Wei Zhongxian, the governor of Dongchang, who was in power and the opposition, fell, and Chongzhen sent him to Fengyang, the central capital, to be punished.

The Donglin Party naturally fell into the ground, whether it was unwarranted or not, and collected dozens of charges that were enough to make Wei Zhongxian die a hundred times.

Chongzhen, who is easy to be fooled, is fooled and is ready to prevent future troubles. He doesn't know how to use power, he should keep him without Wei Zhongxian, only the living have something to say, and the dead have everything to do! It's too late to regret when people die!

On the way to Fengyang, the central capital, Wei Zhongxian received a secret report from a little eunuch, knowing that Ti Qi had set off and was now on his way to arrest him.

The old eunuch knew that he could not have a good result, so he gave the little eunuch all the money he was carrying, and told him to run for his life quickly, go as far as possible, and never come to him again.

That night, he heard someone outside the post house singing: "The shadow of the cold moon is accompanying him, and the voice of the horse is hissing." It's so desolate that it's better to die. ”

Thinking of the glory and wealth of the past, Wei Zhongxian also felt that it was really worse than death, so he lamented several times and hanged himself on the pavilion.

The old eunuch Wei Zhongxian died, in fact, he was demonized by later generations, his loyalty to the Ming Emperor was much higher than those civil officials, and there is no evidence that Wei Zhongxian violated the people and wantonly killed the people when he was in power.

But history concludes that he is a bad guy who does all kinds of evil. Huang Sheng believes that there are no good and bad people in party struggle, they are all people with personalities.

Party contention is even more difficult to talk about right and wrong, good or bad, and the formation of parties is all for personal gain. Both ancient and modern times are no exception, because their slogan is that the interests of the party are above all else. What party interests? What about liars! The interests of those with vested interests only. Where are they for the interests of the country and the nation?

The chaotic court changed the ministers, staring at each other to compete for the fruits of victory, and those monks fell one after another, except for one person, Yuan Chonghuan, who was left and right.

In December, Huang Sheng, who was already the first to lead the imperial history of the fourth grade, came to Shanhaiguan to meet Wang Zhichen, who was once again supervising Liaodong.

Huang Sheng sent a lot of kit kat , such as ivory, rhinoceros horn and other southern specialties are counted as a tribute to the early years, the two are already a party, of course they will talk about the court.

Huang Sheng learned from Wang Da that Yuan Chonghuan had gained the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, and had recently been commanded by Jinyi Wei.

On a whim, he was ready to test Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards him, and immediately wrote an impeachment note listing Yuan Chonghuan's many shortcomings, which was definitely not groundless, it was not a matter of hearing the wind at all, and there was real evidence.

Among them, the three most lethal ones are to negotiate the money privately, take the initiative to ask for new words for construction, and only try to protect themselves and not save Jinzhou when the soldiers of Jiannu are pressing, and ask the court to punish and remove him from his official position, and continue to let him go home to hold his child.

If the imperial court appoints Yuan Chonghuan to supervise Liaodong, he will immediately resign and go into hiding, vowing not to be with this person.
