"Your Majesty, these are what happened in You'anmen area this morning."
Qianqing Palace.
While looking at the hand-made multi-spindle spinning machine that was beginning to take shape, Zhu Youxiao listened to Wei Zhongxian's talk about what had just happened in You'anmen, that is, Pu Chuanluo and other dead men forcibly broke into You'anmen, and Miao Changqi and other Donglin officials raped Breaking into You'anmen.
Wei Zhongxian took the wet handkerchief from the basin, knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao, wiped Zhu Youxiao's hand that had just held the charcoal pencil, and glanced up at Zhu Youxiao.
"Arrogant!"
Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao kicked down the golden basin on the ground with a murderous look in his eyes.
Wei Zhongxian was so frightened that he crouched on the gold bricks that had just been kicked down by Zhu Youxiao and water dropped on them, and he did not dare to express his anger.
"Xu Guangqi is right, the freezing weather does not last overnight. This phenomenon of nobles and military officials starting to appear very early, and now it has become so serious that military attachés have to kneel to civilian officials! What if my own soldiers are like this too? You can still be loyal to me directly, but I'm afraid you'll have to be controlled by civilian officials again!
Preach the message to Fang Congzhe and ask him to immediately draw up an edict to declare to the world that from now on, no kneeling should be done between civil servants and military officers, and no kneeling should be done between superiors and subordinates!
Only during grand ceremonies can one kneel and bow to the Master, the King of Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dongchang will punish him. On occasions other than those permitted by the above, civil servants who kneel or accept the kneeling ceremony will be executed by the military attache. Dismissal! Literature is more important than martial arts, because civil servants are scholars by nature, and they know more about etiquette and shame, and they should not be arrogant and willing to fall!
With such an edict, I, a man of the Ming Dynasty, must be firm and strong, how can I bend the knee so easily! "
Zhu Youxiao kept talking with trembling lips and teeth.
"My slave obeys the order!"
Wei Zhongxian wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Zhu Youxiao then ordered: "This Miao Changqi and the other civil servants who suddenly want to force their way out of the city may have some ulterior motives. First, secretly arrest and interrogate this Miao Changqi, and then say that someone has reported him for harboring imperial prisoners!" Then try out other resisters!"
Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed after hearing this. He had long been dissatisfied with Miao Changqi. After all, Miao Changqi had long threatened to impeach Dao, so he said: "I obey the order. From what I see, I'm afraid they just want to go out and inform Wang Huazhen."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Until Wang Huazhen is secretly captured and brought back to the capital, no one is allowed to leave the capital. I am ordering anyone to go down and kill anyone who dares to break into the city again! Otherwise, the officials guarding the city will be beheaded." Decide!"
…
"It seems that it is no longer possible to tell Wang Huazhen that Dongchang wants to capture him. If Xu Guangqi stops us, we will not be able to leave the city. It will be even more impossible next time, because the Holy Emperor will definitely issue a strict decree."
Donglin official Zhou Yanru spoke to Miao Changqi.
After hearing this, Miao Changqi waved his sleeves vigorously, put his hands behind his back, and looked outside the Hanlin Academy with a stern expression: "This Xu Guangqi is truly the scum of our scholarly community!"
With that said, Miao Changqi said: "Chop Fan Yuqing into pieces and bury it in the soil, so that the people in Dongchang will not find out that we have anything to do with them!"
Zhou Yanru nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I will take care of this matter. Wait until night, I will send someone to the hospital to do it for him!"
Miao Changqi then said: "Wang Huazhen cannot be saved for sure. We must inform Shaozongbo (Sun Shenxing), Gao Gong (Gao Panlong) and other Dukes of Donglin as soon as possible to destroy the letters to and from Wang Huazhen. In addition, Wang Huazhen must be informed as soon as possible after he is imprisoned." Let him die, we can't really let Dongchang find out anything, and find ways to bribe the people in Dongchang."
Zhou Yanru continued to reply: "This is already being done. However, when the Emperor starts selecting his concubines next year, in my opinion, we should bribe some of the eunuchs responsible for selecting concubines in advance, and then insert some more women we raise into them. Be a palace maid.”
Miao Changqi said "hmm": "The money should be paid by wealthy businessmen. The one in the palace has to be more careful. No one expected that his nature would be so surprising. Now he is almost no different from a tyrant."
"This is reasonable. Otherwise, Wang An and Yang Lian would not suffer such a big loss this time! However, it is said that he only allows the Hakka family to serve in Qianqing Palace. All the palace ladies we sent to the palace before are sent It’s of no use!”
Zhou Yanru replied.
"Hakka is such a witch! The Wei Dynasty was ordered to commit suicide, and Wei Zhongxian suddenly took charge of the East Factory. It was because of her defeat! We must find a way to drive her away from the emperor! We must spend a lot of money to bribe the eunuch who will choose the concubine at that time, and then Then we must find a way to bribe several concubines who are responsible for the emperor's final review of the concubines, and then we must choose the most coquettish beauties as the emperor's concubines, in order to make the emperor indulge in beauty and kill his ambitions, and use the hands of beautiful women to impress the guests. He has fallen out of favor! It has to be said that the emperor is now tough and wants to cheer up, and his cheering up is obviously intended to attack those of us who dominate the world. Otherwise, how could Zhang Juzheng be restored to his official title and return to power? Make him uncle!"
Miao Changqi looked at Zhou Yanru seriously as he spoke.
Zhou Yanru deeply agreed: "What he said is reasonable. To govern a big country, one should follow the trend. The emperor should be humble and do nothing. He only needs to be close to the virtuous ministers and stay away from the nefarious ministers. How can he use the power of his subordinates and seize hundreds of officials? It is unreasonable. ! Although the world should seek a virtuous king, if a virtuous king is not available, it would be better to make the emperor comatose and live in debauchery in the harem, rather than to make the emperor strict and violent to the foreign dynasty! Otherwise, why should we, the scholar-bureaucrats, give in to this tyrannical dynasty!"
What Zhou Yanru said was a bit treacherous, but because the Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to any literary inquisition, Miao Changqi did not stop him. Instead, he laughed and said: "Since the Qin Dynasty, there has been no dynasty with a national destiny for more than three hundred years. It will not be known for decades." Whose emperor will the new dynasty be, but no matter what, when the time comes, we, the scholar-bureaucrats, will still rule the world with us, and those of us who are Jinshi will still be the officials needed by the court."
While the two were talking, Hanlin Feng Quan walked over cautiously and saluted Miao Changqi and Zhou Yanru, who had entered the Hanlin earlier and had more qualifications: "I have met the second master!"
Miao Changqi smiled evilly as soon as he saw Feng Quan: "Feng Boheng, why did you come to see us?"
Feng Quan nodded timidly: "I want to ask Mr. Mu to help me transfer my father from Liaoyang's military preparation post back to the pass. Nowadays, the Liaoyang area is plundering the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is really not a kind place, and my father is old and sick, and even unbearable." The son of a man cannot bear to stay in such a critical place, so I asked Duke Mu for help! Everyone knows that Duke Mu has always been very promising in the court and is good at helping others."
When Miao Changqi saw Feng Quan begging for him so humbly, he walked behind Feng Quan even more proudly and hugged Feng Quan from behind.
Feng Quan was a young Jinshi, and he was born like a daughter, with white and tender skin and charming eyes. Therefore, Miao Changqi and others had long coveted him and had even been attracted to him for a long time.
Because Feng Quan wanted something from Miao Changqi and could not afford to offend a Donglin gentleman like Miao Changqi, so although he was quite resentful in his heart, he did not dare to speak out.
Fortunately, at this time, a reviewer from the Hanlin Academy came to report: "Mr. Mu, someone is looking for you outside! It is said that someone in the palace has news."
Miao Changqi felt quite disappointed after hearing this, so he had to leave the Hanlin Academy.
However, as soon as Miao Changqi left the Hanlin Academy, he was knocked unconscious and then dragged away.
When Miao Changqi woke up, he was already in prison.
