Chapter 7 The Crisis of the Donglin Party
The ancients were diligent in hearing the chickens dancing, but Zhu Youjian did not have such awareness. The chicken cried twice, and the sky turned white, but Zhu Youxiao still slept like a dead pig. And in the Ganqing Palace, half a city, an unprecedented storm was about to hit.
After decades of troubles in Wanli, three major cases and prince storm, the ministers of the Donglin Party finally survived. But just a few days later, Guangzong suddenly passed away. Li Xuanshi took the crown prince and decided to be the queen mother. It was another life-and-death battle that brought Zhu Youxiao to the throne. Who knew that one wave had just settled and another wave started. Wang An, the eunuch of the Silijian, was actually harmed by Wei Zhongxian, who was in charge of the power of the Silijian. But in the eyes of **xing, Wei Zhongxian was still far from that. Wang An, who served the two eunuchs of Guangzong and the current saints, helped the Donglin Party many times at critical moments, and what is your Wei Zhongxian? A rogue from Hebei who relied on flattering the emperor's wet nurse, had reached his current position. Now, this eunuch still wanted to put his hands into the court, and he was simply ignorant of life and death. Today, this guy must be abandoned.
At the gate of the palace, the ministers were almost there. But the gate of the palace had not opened yet, so they gathered together in groups of three to whisper. Huang Zunsu saw **xing closed his eyes and resting at the door, and walked forward, "Mengbai, are you really going to fight with this eunuch today? I think that although Wei Zhongxian is in a high position on weekdays, he is also flattering to us. If he really teased his face today, he will kill one thousand enemies and lose himself to eight hundred." **xing smiled disapprovingly. This backward is still a little timid. However, Huang Zunsu has always been diligent in state affairs, and is still stable in his actions, and is not easy to ask. He smiled and said, "Zunsu, why are you so timid in your 40s? How can you be afraid of bleeding when you fight against traitors for the country? My Donglin scholars are all over the court and the country, and one person spits and drowns Wei Yan. What's more, we have made great contributions to supporting the current emperor. If we don't look at monks and Buddha's faces, your Majesty will never be unfamiliar with us for a eunuch. Today, we will definitely get rid of Wei Yan!" After saying that, we walked into the court and followed the team to the palace gate. Huang Zunsu looked at the senior so arrogant, and a bad premonition came to his heart. He shook his head, took a deep breath, and walked in with the civil servant team on the left.
Long live the mountain, after kneeling three or nine bows, everyone thanked them for their gratitude. At this time, the minister wrote a letter to discuss matters. Just as ** Xing was about to come out to report, he saw an official wearing a green robe in the back row hurried out and looked closely and found that it was Ruan Dacheng, the director. Although he was unhappy with this guy who disrupted his deployment, due to his identity, ** Xing took back his steps and planned to hear what this guy was going to say first.
Ruan Dacheng knelt in the hall, although his voice was trembling, it was extremely loud, "My minister, Ruan Dacheng impeached the Minister of Personnel **xing, the left censor of the Inspectorate, Gao Panlong, used his power to seek personal gain, and sold official positions, etc., please investigate clearly." After saying that, he knocked on the gold bricks in the hall and kept silent.
The hall calmed down for a moment, and everyone's breathing was clearly heard. No one expected that the person who impeached the star of ** and climbed the dragon was Ruan Dacheng. Ruan Dacheng was a disciple of Gao Panlong, and in terms of seniority, he was still his uncle.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, students have only once impeached teachers. Liu Tai in the Wanli period impeached Zhang Juzheng. At that time, Zhang Juzheng was really inferior to ten thousand people, but even so, in the face of his students' impeachment, Zhang Juzheng had to ask for his resignation. At that time, the young emperor of Wanli issued repeated orders, and Zhang Juzheng stayed halfway and half again. Liu Tai was beaten to death by the court.
Is Ruan Dacheng desperate? All the ministers were full of suspicion. Gao Panlong almost fainted and walked out, saying, "Your Majesty, I have been loyal to the country for more than 30 years, and have been trembling as if I have been walking on thin ice for thirty years. But today I am not safe in my later years and have been framed. If I am guilty, I have nothing to say. But if this thief is talking nonsense, please ask Your Majesty to be the master of me and return me to my innocence!" His own people were impeached, and the ministers of the Donglin Party in the court jumped out one after another and began an all-round unstoppable attack on Ruan Dacheng. From being unfaithful and unfilial, to being secretly watched the old lady take a bath when she was a child, she was stripped away.
Tianqi looked at the messy court like a vegetable market. After coughing twice, everyone stopped. "You are still important officials, and the noise is simply throwing away all the dignity of the court." Tianqi was full of anger. He wanted to be quiet, but these Donglin Party ministers did not understand the king and father at all, and chatted all day long and caused annoying. He gave all the official positions with real power, so why can't he let himself be quiet for a while?
Seeing the emperor getting angry, the ministers were all honest. ** Xing was full of anger, but today there was no way to impeach Wei Zhongxian. According to the ancestral system, the impeached officials were not divided into ranks and had to wait at home for investigation and investigation. However, in ** Xing's opinion, this time was just an accident. In a few days, Guan Bao, Ruan Dacheng, died, and even if he died, he would not know how to die! Seeing that ** Xing did not fire, the officials below remained silent. The court meeting ended in a short while. The court announced that the court would disperse, and all officials walked out of the palace gate.
At this moment, I heard an angry shout: Jizhi, stop me!" It turned out that it was Gao Panlong. Ruan Dacheng stood there, turned slowly, and bowed, "I wonder why the teacher taught me?"
"Hmph, teacher? I can't teach you a student like you! Don't say the word "teacher" in the future. The meaning of you, I, teacher and student will end here. You can do it yourself in the future!" After saying that, Gao Panlong walked past Ruan Dacheng angrily and never looked back.
Looking at the officials talking around, Ruan Dacheng didn't want to say anything more, so he bowed and walked away slowly with the old servants at home.
In the afternoon, an order came from the palace, Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Dali Temple, asked whether the impeachment of Ruan Dacheng was true. ** Xing, Gao Panlong was at home and listened to the sects and was not allowed to leave the capital without authorization. The ministers were very frightened. This ** Xing, Gao Panlong was all second-rank officials and had the memorial to support him. But why did the emperor get so angry today that he actually thought about his mistakes because of a seventh-rank official's memorial. In addition, Xu Xianchun was a lackey of Wei Zhongxian, and was killed with the martial officials Tian Ergeng, Sun Yunhe, Yang Huan, and Cui Yingyuan. He was one of the "Five Biaos". I'm afraid the visitor was not good!
In the evening, the Donglin Party gathered at **xing Study Room to discuss the plan and see what happened this time. Who is behind Ruan Dacheng's sudden impeachment! Everyone was talking for a while, but they had no idea. Suddenly, they heard that the door of the study was knocked open by a man in a white robe and full of alcohol. However, everyone did not think it was offended and said with a smile, "As soon as the common prime minister arrives, a big thing can be accomplished."
Ruan Dacheng (1587-1646) was a minister of the late Ming Dynasty in Tongcheng County, Anqing Prefecture, Nanzhili Province (now Tongyang County, Anhui Province). This man's life can be said to be very complicated. He was accused of the Donglin Party and later relied on Wei Zhongxian, and later went to the Nanming Party and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. It seemed to be a complete opportunism. However, this person's best friend was Zuo Guangdou, and he also had the ideal of saving the world and saving the country. However, in the internal struggle of the Donglin Party, he completely turned to Wei Zhongxian because he was not allowed to serve the Ministry of Personnel. What he did is understandable but unforgivable. In my opinion, this is an exquisite egoist, so the ending of his tragic death is also a good cycle of reincarnation!
