Chapter 607: Five Tigers and Five Biao

Please enter the text "That's right, it's that Li Xuanshi!" Yuan Keli, who finished talking about the big thing, came over to tell Chang Wei a story. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Xuanzhi is the favorite concubine of Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong, the adoptive mother of Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Apocalypse, and his mother Wang Cairen died after Zhu Youxiao was born, so he was raised by Li Xuanzhi, but according to Zhu Youxiao, his mother Wang Cairen was killed by Li Xuanshi.

In July of the forty-eighth year of Wanli (1620), Wanli died. In August, the crown prince Zhu Changluo ascended the throne and was Mingguangzong.

At that time, Li Xuanzhi was favored, and Guangzong Zhu Changluo wanted to make her the imperial concubine. But Li Xuanzhi was not satisfied, and instigated Guangzong to make himself the queen. But a month later, Zhu Changluo died again, and before Zhu Changluo died, he summoned thirteen people including Congzhe, the first assistant of the cabinet, into the palace and entrusted Zhu Youxiao to them.

When Guangzong died, Li Xuanzhi lived in the Qianqing Palace, and the Donglin Party was afraid that the leader of the Zhejiang Party, the head of the cabinet, and Li Xuanzhi would collude with Li Xuanzhi to seize the power of the imperial court, so Yang Lian and others went up and asked Li Xuanzhi to move to another palace. Therefore, a power struggle broke out, the eunuchs Wang An, Lu Xing'an and others protected the emperor's eldest son Zhu Youxiao, Li Xuanzhi sent Wei Zhongxian, who was still called Li Jinzhong at that time, to compete with Yang Lian and others who broke into the Qianqing Palace. The Donglin Party, which had the merit of supporting the emperor and getting the fruits of victory, moved Li Xuanzhi to Puluan Palace, which was the famous palace transfer case.

Because the palace transfer case was too harsh, the outside world talked about it afterwards, saying that the emperor abused his adoptive mother, and the imperial historian accused the Donglin Party of interfering too much in the affairs of the inner court, and the emperor issued an edict announcing that his biological mother Wang Cairen was bullied to death by Li Xuanzhi, and Li Xuanzhi often abused himself.

When Li Xuanzhi heard this, he committed suicide by throwing himself into a well with his daughter, which was even more terrible, and more ministers blamed the emperor. A few days later, the Luan Palace where Li Xuan was staying caught fire, and after struggling to rescue him, Li Xuan's mother and daughter were rescued.

Officials who opposed the move of the palace said: Choosing a waiter to throw himself into the well, his daughter threw himself into the well, and said, "Who is sorry for the eighth sister of the emperor when she enters the well, and the pheasant who is not dead can be complained", accusing Zhu Youxiao of violating the way of filial piety. Zhu Youxiao refuted these rumors, "I ordered the suspension of the selection of the title of servant to comfort the soul of Our Lady in heaven." Raise the selection of servants and the eighth sister of the emperor, in order to comply with the meaning of the imperial examination, and the ministers can rely on their bodies. ”

The emperor couldn't bear the charge of abusing his adoptive mother, so he no longer embarrassed Li Xuanzhi, and Li Xuanzhi and her people didn't dare to make the slightest move, and even Ke Yinyue and Wei Zhongxian at that time had to clamp their tails and be people, because the Donglin Party at that time was extremely powerful, and they had a god-like figure - Yang Lian!

In just a few days from Zhu Changluo's death to Zhu Youxiao's accession to the throne, Yang Lian turned his hair gray in order to fight with Li Xuanzhi and the Zhejiang Party.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne, which was very interesting. Three days later, Yang Lian was promoted to the military department to give the matter, a year later, promoted to Taichang Shaoqing, in the same year, promoted to the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, and promoted to the left deputy capital of the imperial history. In just one year, he has changed from a seventh-grade military department to a second-grade ministerial-level boss.

More than one Yang Lian was rewarded, and Zhao Nanxing, a member of the Donglin Party, made a comeback more than 20 years later, and sat in the first key point of the imperial court - the Ministry of Officials.

Gao Panlong, a member of the Donglin Party, was appointed as Guanglu Cheng, and was later promoted to Guanglu Shaoqing; Zou Yuanbiao, a member of the Donglin Party, was appointed as the secretary of the Dali Temple, and later served as the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and the left capital of the Imperial Palace; Sun Shenxing, a member of the Donglin Party, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites; Zuo Guangdou, a member of the Donglin Party, was promoted to the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and a year later, he was promoted to the Imperial History of the Left of the Imperial Palace, and so on, in short, the Donglin Party soared and flourished, and the collective ascension was raised! The power of the imperial court fell into the hands of the Donglin Party!

At this time, the Donglin Party was extremely powerful, and it was so powerful that it could not be increased. After taking power, the Donglin Party immediately pursued the Red Pill case, of course, they did not want to avenge Zhu Changluo, their target was Fang Congzhe, the first assistant of the cabinet, as long as Fang Congzhe was killed, the Zhejiang Party would not be afraid!

The Donglin Party, which was in power in the "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty", successfully drove away Fang Congzhe and won the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, basically holding the court in their own hands!

Then, Ye Xianggao, another veteran of the Donglin Party, returned, and he took over the position of chief assistant to the cabinet, and the Donglin Party embarked on a glorious road! However, before they could be happy, the news of the fall of Shenyang, the fall of Liaoyang, and the suicide, death, defeat, and flight of a large number of Donglin Party members came over.

Since then, Liaodong has completely become the world of Houjin, and after a few years have passed, the emperor suddenly discovered that the uncles of Donglin have made money from officials and fought the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, the Qi Party, and the Xuan Party, but they just don't do personnel!

What about Liaodong? What about Liaodong? Why do you still let Houjin wander there?!

What about money? Why is my treasury empty? Why is there no money to fight? If there is no money, let me be thrifty? If I don't have money, let me cultivate virtue? Can you still be shameless?!

Okay, you forced me, I don't need you, I want to use a big killing weapon - eunuchs!

The reason why the Donglin Party was able to control the world was not because of how powerful they were, but for two reasons: one was that in the days when Zhu Changluo died, Yang Lian fought to the death; and the other is that Zhu Youxiao was a good person, and he was grateful for the picture and gave the Donglin Party members incomparably rich power and official returns.

So now as long as you kill Yang Lian and put away your kindness, the Donglin Party will be over, right?

Soon the emperor authorized Wei Zhongxian to start acting!

In the past, those who disagreed with Donglin's political views were all included in the ranks of the evil party, not only writing and impeachment, but also writing articles and compiling books to scold the stink, Zhao Nanxing even blatantly said that he would treat the evaluation of officials as a battlefield, and there was revenge and revenge and resentment and complaining!

And these so-called evil parties immediately came to take refuge after Wei Zhongxian raised the banner, so the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and it became that the Manchu officials attacked the Donglin Party, and to put it bluntly, the eunuch party removed Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs, that is, Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Xuan and other parties, and even, the means of these people to fight back were the same as the Donglin Party's persecution of them at the beginning.

Will you compile "Records of the Evil Party" and "Records of the Reverse Party"? Then I will compile "Records of the Generals of Donglin Point"!

If you want to bring down the Donglin Party, you must first kill Yang Lian and Wei Dazhong, so the six gentlemen and the seven gentlemen have become expected, and then those living Donglin Party people have confessed, and no one dares to fight hard with the eunuch party anymore, so there is a pragmatism like Lai Zongdao and Liang Dingchen, and there is a successor like Fushe.

In the end, Yuan Keli said: "It can be said that to this day, the people who support Li Xuanzhi are still active in the court, and Li Xuanshi's enemy, the Donglin Party, is no longer so powerful. ”

After listening to Li Xuanzhi's matter, Chang Wei smiled, "The palace is really lively, in the past, that Zheng Guifei was a person from the Nine Cities Chaotic Cloud Valley, this Li Xuanzhi was an ethereal person, and that guest Yinyue seemed to be a person from the Leaning Moon faction." ”

Tang Jinyi was taken aback, "What do you say?"

Chang Wei said lightly, "Ke Yinyue seems to be able to dance with the Heavenly Demon Ecstasy!"

That's right, Chang Wei recognized it when he looked at the Living Spring Palace in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and the strange luster on Ke Yinyue's body was almost exactly the same as the Heavenly Demon Ecstasy Dance! The water in the palace was too deep, and Chang Wei was very glad to have discovered such a big secret, otherwise, he really didn't even know how he died, and he wouldn't even know who the opponent was.

Looking at Tang Jinyi's strange expression, Chang Wei changed the topic with a smile, "Li Xuanzhi is already angry, and he can't make any waves when he is churning, the focus is on tomorrow's court." ”

Although Yuan Keli was also smiling, his eyes were unprecedentedly sharp, "Tomorrow's court meeting will be a decisive battle, fearless, you have to give full play to your eloquence." ”

Yuan Keli didn't run over to tell a lot of stories because he was bored, these are the experience of struggle in the court, and holding the opponent's stains, strengths, weaknesses, glorious history and black materials in his hands is the only way to fight.

Chang Wei nodded vigorously, "I haven't figured out how to refute Lai Zongdao, but I just listened to the teacher's past, and I already have a perfect idea." ”

Chang Wei is discussing tomorrow's court meeting here, and the same is true elsewhere.

In the north of the city, Shadow House.

From the outside, it is a huge, empty, solemn courtyard, with a very simple style, but inside it is resplendent with gold and luxury.

Shaking Shadow Residence, known as the most luxurious place in the capital except for the Imperial Palace, was built by Wei Liangqing with huge assets and several years, and countless people have heard the name of Shaking Shadow Residence, but there are definitely not many people who are qualified to spend the night here.

This luxurious mansion, known as the crown of Beijing, seems to have only five entrances in front and back, but in fact there are several other groups of independent courtyards, which form a huge group of buildings on the shore of the back sea, and there are a total of thousands of houses in these two groups of courtyards.

Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Houhai is surrounded by a prosperous commercial area, which was the end point of Caoyun at that time, known as the "ancient seaport of Beijing", and there are restaurants and shops and workshops everywhere along the coast. It is an idle place where there is water and can see the mountains, and the weeping willows blow the shore, where you can not only hear the insects and birds, but also find the snacks hidden in the alleys, and see the red walls and yellow tiles of the palace. Most of the land on both sides of the Houhai Sea belongs to the royal family, and a small part of the land belonging to the people can be called an inch of land, but Wei Liangqing was able to get such a huge piece of territory here, which shows how powerful the eunuch party is!

However, at this moment, at the core of the luxurious complex, there is no longer the joy and joy of the past, and it is replaced by a noise.

Dozens of officials sat in the hall casually, some talking, some talking in a low voice, some scolding loudly, these decision-makers who thought they were in control of the Ming Dynasty no longer saw the joy of the past, and the gloomy faces made the atmosphere extremely bad.

Although this world is still the world of the Ming Dynasty, everyone here knows that this world is no longer theirs, although the elites present can still enjoy the lofty and desirable status and glory, they can still enter and exit the Gaomen mansion every day, ride horses and incense carts, embrace beautiful wives and concubines, spend money like earth, drunk and dream of death, but the appearance of that damn Chang Wei has destroyed all this cleanly.

Located in the front of the left of the hall are the five tigers of the eunuch party: including Cui Chengxiu, the left governor of the Ministry of War, Wu Chunfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Tian Ji, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Ni Wenhuan, the Taichangqing, and Li Kuilong, the left deputy capital of the imperial history.

The head of the Five Tigers: Cui Chengxiu, a native of Jizhou, a Jinshi in the forty-first year of Wanli. In the early years of the Apocalypse, he was promoted to the imperial history, and during the inspection of Huai and Yang, he was impeached by Gao Panlong, a veteran of the Donglin Party of the Imperial Palace, for favoritism, and was dismissed by the imperial court.

So he defected to Wei Zhongxian, kowtowed and wept, and begged for his adopted son. At that time, Wei Zhongxian was attacked by the ministers of the imperial court and wanted to seek foreign aid, so the two sides hit it off, and Wei Zhongxian reinstated Cui Chengxiu for his grievances.

Since then, Cui Chengxiu has become the backbone of the eunuch party, forming a party for personal gain, and compiling the list of Donglin party members and non-Donglin party members into "Comrade Zhulu" and "Tianjianlu" respectively, and dedicated them to Wei Zhongxian for his enemies of the Donglin party, and mastered the government step by step!

The second of the five tigers: Wu Chunfu, Jinshi. At the beginning of the Apocalypse, he was appointed as a minister in Shaanxi, but he was implicated by the "Jingcha" of the three parties of Donglin Dou and was dismissed. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, he was invested in Wei Zhongxian's disciples, and was awarded the rank of Langzhong of the Ministry of War, and then he was promoted to the servant Shaoqing, depending on the business. Xuansheng Taifuqing, the right deputy capital imperial history, the Ministry of Industry added the right servant, promoted the right capital imperial history, depending on the military department. Describe the three palaces, and the Ministry of Labor is still the prince and the prince. Six moves a year, and the official is still the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Ni Wenhuan, who is often jealous, is a native of Jiangdu, Yangzhou Prefecture, a jinshi, a pedestrian, and a royal history, and was introduced to the Wei Zhongxian shogunate by Cui Chengxiu. He has impeached Li Banghua, Li Rixuan, Zhou Shunchang, Cui Jingrong and dozens of other people.

Five Tigers are in charge of civil affairs, Wu Biao is the main military master to kill, Wu Biao sits on the right side of the hall, including: the left governor of Jinyi Wei commanded Tian Ergeng, the former Jinyi Wei commanded Xu Xianchun, who was dismissed and tried, Cui Yingyuan, the commander of Jinyiwei, Sun Yunhe, the deputy governor of Dongchang, and Tian Ergeng's henchman Jinyiwei knew Yang Huan.

No matter in terms of official position or strength, Chang Wei is only afraid of one field cultivator. This person is the grandson of Shangshu Tianle of the former military department, and he is the governor of the left capital with the ancestral shadow accumulation. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, he took charge of the brocade clothes on behalf of Luo Sigong.

Tian Ergeng is cunning and vicious, has a deep friendship with Wei Liangqing, and the deep Wei Zhongxian is heavy, several prisons, widely spread and waited for pawns, weaving into crimes, and torture people in prison, and it is difficult for those who are imprisoned to come out.

Almost all the major cases involving the Donglin Party are related to Tian Ergeng, who is now tired of being a young master and a prince.

In addition to the most important five tigers and five biaos, Wei Zhongxian's party members also have ten dogs, ten children, forty grandchildren and many other bright eyes.

The first of the ten dogs: Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the ministry, this person is good at cooking, Wei Liangqing likes to eat his roasted pig's trotters the most, he can be an official and a scholar all rely on this trick, and is called "simmering hooves general constitution"; another dog, Cao Qincheng, who likes to be punished for obscenity, has made a great contribution in the case of Wang Wenyan, and has to be the head of the Ministry of Industry.

Ten children and forty grandchildren are even more complicated. For example, Li Fan and Li Lusheng were promoted by the magistrate to the county and gave the matter respectively. They first took refuge in Huang Liji, Lao Huang fell out of favor, so he switched to Gu Bingqian, Lao Gu fell out of favor, and then switched to Feng Quan, Lao Feng fell out of favor, and then took refuge in Cui Chengxiu, so he was ridiculed as a "slave with four surnames".

Xu Xianchun, who had just been fished out of the Three Law Divisions by Wei Liangqing, expressed his loyalty: "Arrogance, too arrogant, Chang Wei, this little bastard, he can deal with me, but how dare he be so presumptuous? How dare he be so disrespectful to Su Ninggong?"

Li Kuilong glared at him and said, "Then you don't need to say, the emperor spoils him too much!"

Cui Yingyuan, who was beaten with a cane today, and his injuries were not yet healed, and he was lying on the soft couch and gritted his teeth angrily, "That bastard's achievements are too great, and the emperor will definitely spoil him!"

Sun Yunhe, the deputy governor of the East Factory, asked irritably, "How can I bring him down?"

Jin Yiwei said gloomily with Yang Huan: "Isn't that incident in Jiangnan enough?"

"No play!" Shang Shu Tian Ji of the Criminal Department shook his head and said: "It's been two or three months, don't you still understand the emperor's attitude? No one dares to mention this now!"

Tian Ergeng also asked coldly, "How can I bring him down?"

Cui Chengxiu looked at Ni Wenhuan and said, "Zong Yan, is there a way?"

Ni Wenhuan, the secretary of Taichang Temple, this eunuch thinker, spat out a word, "Wait!" (to be continued.) )
