Chapter 30 Five Tombstones
"The five people were probably the ones who were arrested by Duke Zhou of Liaozhou and were provoked to Yi and died. As for now, the wise and powerful officials of the county asked to go to the prefecture, and then removed the site of the Wei Yin's abandoned temple to bury it; and also set up stones at the door of the tomb to mark the things they do. Alas, it is also prosperous!"
In the morning, at the morning market outside Chongwenmen, a man who looked like a priest was shaking his head and reading an article in the teahouse.
When he read, "From this perspective, the current high title and rank are revealed, and once they have to pay off their crimes, they may escape and escape, and cannot tolerate far and near, and have cut their hair and pretended to be crazy and do not know where to go, they will be humiliating and despicable, and regard the deaths of the five people. How important is it?", the people around him suddenly became indignant.
"What are the masters of the dynasty? When Wei Ni was in a state of rampantness, they scrambled to compete for the likes of justice, integrity and shame, and fought to build a temple, which really made us lose face."
A scholar in a long gown started to scold before the person finished reading.
"Haha, brother, don't worry. Compared to the battle to build a temple, those ten children and forty grandsons of Wei Ni are embarrassing. Of course, no one can compare to Gu Guan from the previous dynasty. He is over 70 years old and wants to be his son for Wei Ni. He is so thick-skinned that he is comparable to the city bricks of Chongwen Sect."
Another scholar who was drinking tea next to him also echoed, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.
The person mentioned that Gu Shou Gu in the previous dynasty was Gu Bingqian. He was only admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 45, and was only in the seventies before he became the Minister of Rites.
But at this time Wei Zhongxian began to take power. In order to successfully enter the cabinet, Gu Bingqian wanted to join the eunuch party.
At that time, it was popular to be a son for Wei Zhongxian, but Gu Bingqian was already over seventy at this time. Wei Zhongxian was in his early fifties and was once again a son for others. Gu Bingqian was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would dislike him.
But this matter is not bad.
One day, he led his youngest son to visit Wei Zhongxian and said to Wei Zhongxian sincerely: "Nine thousand years old, the officials were originally intended to be the godson, but they were worried that their hair and hair were all white, so they might be hindering Qiansui, so they let my son be the grandson of Qiansui to fulfill their filial piety."
In order to be a son for Wei Zhongxian, he was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would not accept his age, so he asked his son to be a grandson for Wei Zhongxian. This shows how shameless this person is.
After everyone laughed, another person shouted: "Haha, although Gu Guan is shameless, if you are cruel and ruthless, compared to his charity, the great witch, Yang Gong and Zuo Gong have the spirit of heaven, should have taken these rats."
As soon as this person finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter around him.
The General Constitution of the Hoofs on Sunday refers to Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Personnel. This man burned a good horn.
Because Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangqing tasted horns, he often invited him to the mansion to talk. If Wei Liangqing had something to do, he would personally act as a delivery guy and deliver the horns to Wei Liangqing's mansion.
Because the hoofs were burned well, he walked into Wei Liangqing's path. Zhou Yingqiu quickly became the Zuodu Censor. The Zuodu Censor was also called the General Constitution in the Ming Dynasty, and people at that time called it the General Constitution of the Heat.
With the help of Wei Zhongxian, Zhou Yingqiu later advanced to the Minister of Personnel, and since then he started a business of buying and selling official positions. He claimed that he earned ten thousand gold a day, and the world said that he received ten thousand gold a day.
After that, when the newspaper readers read a paragraph, everyone in the teahouse laughed and scolded for a while. Scenes like this have been very common in teahouses and restaurants in Beijing recently.
The calls for the people and gentry to clear the eunuch party became more and more popular as this article spread.
But compared to the gentry and common people, the imperial officials in Beijing had already begun to be ready to move.
Long after Zhu Youjian killed the "Five Tigers and Five Biaos" and stopped, the officials of the Donglin Party in the court and the opposition could no longer sit still.
Zhu Youjian hastily ended the major eunuch party case on the grounds that the DPRK is stable, and the Donglin party members have long been dissatisfied.
The Donglin Party, who were severely damaged by Wei Zhongxian's vitality, did not want to let the eunuchs go like this.
Blood feud must be repaid with blood. The only ten heads of "Five Tigers and Five Biaos" cannot calm the anger of the Donglin Party.
Moreover, there are deeper reasons for the Donglin Party. After the rise of Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party in the Tianqi Dynasty, many officials of the Donglin Party were either killed or demoted, and the eunuch party and other parties took the opportunity to seize many positions in the Donglin Party.
Therefore, the Donglin Party intends to expand the scope of crackdown on the eunuch party case. The most fundamental purpose is to regain its own power and revive the situation where the Donglin Party responded in the court in the early years of the Tianqi period.
The territory of the Donglin Party members must be plowed with the sword of the Donglin Party.
So after Zhu Youjian killed the "Five Tigers and Five Biao", a conspiracy to swear to subvert the court began in secret.
First, Zhang Pu, the opposition leader of the Donglin Party, wrote this article "The Tombstone of the Five People", and then under the manipulation of the Donglin Party, the article began to be published in the document copy issued in various places.
Then it was controlled by an invisible hand and spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Recently, with the candidates who went to Beijing to take the exam, they have been widely circulated in teahouses and restaurants in Beijing. Every day, enthusiastic people help the people in Beijing revisit this masterpiece.
For fear that the people in the capital would not understand, they would have a more enthusiastic candidate to interpret and extend it.
Therefore, the people's calls for the punishment of the eunuch party again rose and rose.
Along with public opinion, officials and gentry from all over the country wrote letters to request a new punishment of the eunuch party, and officials in the capital even began to join forces to petition outside the Meridian Gate.
"Those Hanlins are coming to knock on the palace?"
After listening to Gao Qiqian's report, Zhu Youjian was a little surprised.
He always knew that the Donglin Party was very powerful in the court and the opposition, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
He also learned the article "The Tombstone of Five People" in his previous life when he was in middle school. The Chinese teacher at that time also said that Zhang Pu was a gentleman, and he also criticized Wei Zhongxian with his classmates.
Now it seems that history is really a little girl who can be dressed up.
"When will it be coming?"
Although Zhu Youjian was surprised, he was not panicked.
Knocking the palace, isn’t it just going to the room? What’s the big deal?
In his previous life, Zhu Youjian had rich experience in dealing with sex, so he was not worried at all.
"According to the secret agent of Dongchang, it should be tomorrow."
Gao Qiqian replied carefully. Seeing that Zhu Youjian did not answer, he then took a look at Zhu Youjian's face and asked again:
"Your Majesty, do you want to take it today?"
Zhu Youjian was recalling his previous life's handling experience. He was stunned when he heard this, looked at Gao Qiqian's nervous look, and then laughed.
"High companion, don't be too nervous. If they are willing to knock on the palace, I have to worry about this."
Zhu Youjian then explained a few words to Gao Qiqian and signaled him to handle it accordingly.
When Gao Qiqian heard this, a wry smile appeared in his heart. He really offended no one and cannot offend His Majesty today.
Subsequently, Zhu Youjian summoned Luo Sigong and made arrangements for tomorrow's security and stability maintenance work.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Luo Sigong naturally learned that there would be news that officials would knock on the verge tomorrow, and he was worried about what to do tomorrow. If the emperor wanted to arrest the ministers who knocked on the verge, he could only earn a reputation and execute the order.
But after listening to Zhu Youjian's arrangement, Luo Sigong was instantly impressed by Zhu Youjian again.
Zhu Youjian’s arrangement is actually very simple, that is:
You hit yours, I hit mine, first hit the weak, then hit the strong.
