In the second year of Tianqi, Daming Palace, Yangxin Palace,
Wei Zhongxian bowed respectfully and read the memorial,
"Last year, Nurhaci invaded Fushun. General Man Gui led an attack with 10,000 troops. He killed more than 3,000 Jin troops in the formation. He made countless gains and rescued the siege in one battle!"
"Last month, the bandit leader Nurhaci invaded again. Shenyang Commander-in-Chief Yong Wuhou led an army in person. He pursued the enemy for three hundred miles and captured more than 10,000 people, including countless cattle, sheep, and horses!"
"Your Majesty, this is the situation in Liaodong in the past two years!"
Looking up, Wei Zhongxian looked humble and spoke,
Holding the carving knife, Emperor Tianqi didn't even raise his head. His eyes were full of indifference and he said: "How about Xiong Tingbi?"
"Xiong Shaobao is fine now, it's just the Donglin Party!"
Looking at Emperor Tianqi melancholy, Wei Zhongxian certainly understood what the emperor meant.
He wants to protect Xiong Tingbi, but the Donglin Party won't let him!
After hearing these words, Emperor Tianqi said nothing, his eyes filled with coldness.
Since he ascended the throne, the Donglin Party has begun to control the court. Among the five cabinet ministers, there are three of them.
The government order left the capital. Emperor Tianqi didn't know how many people in the world obeyed his imperial order.
Putting down the carving knife, Zhu Youxiao immediately said: "Wei Zhongxian brings the Jin Yiwei to Dongchang!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will do my best!"
Hearing these words, Wei Zhongxian's face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
Waving his hands calmly, Zhu Youxiao started carpentry again.
How could he not understand the situation in the court? The Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party, and the Chu Party were now weak, and the Donglin Party was the dominant party.
If he is trying to find a way to suppress this group of civil servants, who will have the final say in the future of the Ming Dynasty?
Wei Zhongxian is a knife, the knife that tears through the surface of these "clothed beasts" of civil servants.
With Lu Yan blocking Nurhachi in Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao's life was much better than in history.
After all, after he came to power, Liaoyang and Shenyang were defeated successively.
Daming directly lost control outside the customs, and the defense line reached directly under Shanhaiguan.
Once it was broken through, Hou Jin could raise his troops and come to the capital.
What does it mean? That is, the mighty Ming Dynasty was actually attacked by troops.
Even another emperor would not tolerate it. This is why Emperor Tianqi kept giving Wei Zhongxian more weight to take action against the Donglin Party.
This group of people occupies too many resources. They lie on the big tree of Ming Dynasty and continue to suck blood without providing any support.
After receiving the emperor's order, Wei Zhongxian left the palace and directly summoned his men.
He has clearly seen what the emperor wants,
That is the Donglin Party,
With a chill in his eyes, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but smile,
He is an ignorant ruffian, and now he has become the admiral in charge of the Jinyiwei and Dongchang. What else can stop him?
Thinking of this, he began to take the lead in attacking,
Regarding Gao Panlong, who is now one of the "Eight Gentlemen" of the Donglin Party,
That month, Cui Chengxiu forged a memorial to Zhejiang tax superintendent Li Shi and falsely accused Gao Panlong and others of corruption. Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to arrest Donglin Party members.
Gao Panlong was sentenced to prison the next day.
After hearing the news, Donglin Party members filed petitions one after another, hoping that the emperor would thoroughly investigate the case.
Do you know the virtues of the Donglin Party members? Zhu Youxiao simply closed the door and began to practice carpentry.
Even though there was a turmoil in the imperial court, Zhu Youxiao ignored this group of people.
After all, there was Lu Yan in Liaodong and Wei Zhongxian in the court. He could think carefully about how to take back his rights next.
Jin Yiwei ordered him to prison,
Gao Panlong looked at Wei Zhongxian with blood all over his body, his face could not help but be ashen and he said: "The eunuch, why bother to accuse him?"
"Slap our family!"
Looking at Gao Panlong indifferently, Wei Zhongxian sneered,
What is a castrate? Wasn't that what these literati named him? Who is Wei Zhongxian? He is a pure royalist!
Even if he takes the opportunity to make money, he has never ruined His Majesty's important affairs.
Not like this group of dressed-up beasts, they look different from what they look like.
Arriving in front of Gao Panlong, Cui Chengxiu pressed down on him and started pumping him wildly.
When Gao Panlong kept coughing out blood, Wei Zhongxian raised his hand calmly and said: "Now as long as you bite Ye Xianggao, Gu Dazhang and others, I will let you go immediately. How about it, Master Gao!"
"Eunuch, don't even think about it!"
Looking at Wei Zhongxian with gritted teeth, Gao Panlong couldn't help but roar,
Now Ye Xianggao is a cabinet bachelor and the face of the Donglin Party.
But the disobedient Ye Xianggao also caused a headache for the Donglin Party. Li Sancai, whom they originally wanted to recommend,
But even so, he couldn't do this even though he was so high.
"Since you already know that you are trying to incriminate yourself, why should I talk nonsense with you and sign your name?"
Looking at Gao Panlong with scarlet eyes, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but roar,
In Liaodong, it is not that the Donglin Party covers the sky with just one hand.
Where is the Yongwu Marquis Lu Yan? Otherwise, how could Wei Zhongxian be so bold?
"Eunuch, you must die a happy death!"
Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Gao Panlong couldn't help but feel angry. This old thief doesn't have martial ethics!
"Whether I die or not, you don't have to worry about it! When you commit suicide out of fear of crime, I will take good care of your Gao family!"
Looking at Gao Panlong with scarlet eyes, Wei Zhongxian stood up and left the prison.
"Eunuch!"
Roaring angrily, Gao Panlong immediately reprimanded,
But at this moment, Cui Chengxiu came forward with the paper, pressed his thumb to sign,
"Don't even think about it, don't think about it!"
Roaring, Gao Panlong was about to struggle, but at this moment, a guard in golden clothes stepped forward and put a rope around his neck.
"Crack!"
With the force of both arms, Gao Panlong was directly strangled to death.
"Clean up!"
Looking at Gao Panlong indifferently, Cui Chengxiu left with a sneer.
On the second day, Wei Zhongxian presented the evidence of Gao Panlong's crime, and took the opportunity to point the conflict at Gu Dazhang, a member of the civil service department, Ye Xianggao, a scholar, and Yang Lian, the censor of Zuodu, and others.
After learning the news, the Donglin Party exploded on the spot.
Because it is indeed signed by Gao Panlong, and the person involved committed suicide in fear of crime.
Knowing that Wei Zhongxian was planning to break up with everyone and fight everyone, the Donglin Party members began to file petitions one after another, requesting the emperor to retrial.
Still sitting as steady as Mount Tai, carving wood in the Yangxin Hall,
Zhu Youxiao seemed to have no idea what was happening outside.
Let Wei Zhongxian start causing trouble.
Liaodong, Shenyang City,
Lu Yan, who had just returned from leading the troops, was stunned when he heard the news.
He also didn't expect that Wei Zhongxian was so fierce, doing whatever he said, and even Gao Panlong was killed by him?
You know, in history, Gao Panlong committed suicide.
In the second year, the Donglin Party began to plan for Emperor Tianqi. Now everyone has seen blood from the beginning. This scene is really lively.
But these are not things that Lu Yan should be concerned about. He just wants to catch Nurhachi and give him a whip.
Forget it, he chased him out, but Nurhachi didn't dare to fight him. Why, did he think he had too many cannons? At worst, Lu Yan can save hundreds of doors!
Anyway, Liaodong is lacking in everything except iron.
Back to the mansion,
Lu Yan looked at Xiao Yuzheng, Ding Baiying, and two maids playing mahjong, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned on his face.
"Master, are you back?"
Seeing Lu Yan appear, Xiaoyu quickly abandoned Ding Baiying beside him and stepped forward quickly.
Looking at Xiao Yu who was so understanding, Lu Yan also smiled and said, "Yes, madam, do you miss me?"
"Master, my family has lost all their money to my sister this month."
Looking at Lu Yan aggrievedly, Xiao Yu muttered,
Suddenly hearing these words, Lu Yan couldn't help but slap his forehead.
