Maybe others would give some face to the scholars, but people like the great eunuch Yang Guorui, who pay more attention to practical interests, would naturally not give any face to these scholars.
Originally, he was the eunuch among the scholars, the next Wei Zhongxian, the traitorous official in the inner court that everyone scolded.
This time, the scholar took the initiative to come outside the palace to be beaten. The eunuch Yang Guorui was not polite at all, and directly asked the Jin Yiwei to stage a scene of the Jin Yiwei beating the scholar in full view of the public.
This made the idlers who watched the fun in the past very happy.
This kind of scene is rare. Scenes of scholars being beaten are rare, let alone the scene of so many scholars being surrounded by a group of uniformed guards and beating them.
The people were fed up with it, but the civil servants in the DPRK stopped working.
The Jin Yiwei slapped their scholar in the face.
After only one night, various memorials were flying everywhere, all of which were memorials to impeach the eunuch Yang Guorui.
In the eyes of civil servants, the great eunuch Yang Guorui became Zhao Gao of Qin, Zhang Rang of Han, Wang Zhen and Wei Zhongxian of this dynasty. All kinds of evil words were put on the head of great eunuch Yang Guorui.
Several baskets of memorials were sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
However, after these memorials were sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, there was no further content.
The emperor was still a child who didn't even know the words, let alone review the memorials. The memorials sent below were reviewed and processed by several auxiliary ministers.
However, these memorials to impeach the eunuch Yang Guorui and insult Yang Guorui were detained in the Li Jian.
The great eunuch Yang Guorui only browsed a few books at random, and then ordered people to burn all the memorials about his impeachment and slave humiliation, and would not show them to other auxiliary ministers at all.
Perhaps the official who submitted the memorial also knew this, so he was extremely humiliated by the eunuch Yang Guorui in the memorial.
Eunuchs are often very small-minded. Some eunuchs may not be so, but the great eunuch Yang Guorui is a very small-minded person.
He showed no mercy to the officials who insulted him. He arranged for Jin Yiwei to search for evidence against these people. As long as evidence was found to prove that these officials violated laws and disciplines, he would directly ask Jin Yiwei to arrest them and lock them in the prison of Zhenfu Division.
There may be some clean civil servants, but most of them have shit behind their butts.
Jinyiwei began to arrest people everywhere. On the first day, they arrested seven officials, two of whom were from the Hanlin Academy, one was a censor, and the remaining few were also officials from the Sixth Ministry.
Although the grades are not high, the one with the highest grade is Yuan Wai Lang.
But Jin Yiwei's arresting actions represented the attitude of the eunuch Yang Guorui.
In just three days, Jinyiwei arrested nearly thirty officials.
The Zhenfusi Prison, which had been empty for a long time, became completely lively this time.
For many days, the court was filled with fights between the eunuch Yang Guorui and the civil servants, making the Tiger Flag, who was at the center of the whirlpool at the beginning, a bystander.
The civil servants never let go, and the eunuchs also stick to their bones.
The fight between civil servants and eunuchs caused no one to care about the Ming Dynasty's alliance with the Qing Dynasty and peace talks with the Tiger Character Banner.
Even the promoters behind it did not expect that things would develop like this.
Fan Wencheng, who had been working hard to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty, visited many people's homes one after another, hoping to stop the disputes in the court and return his attention to the alliance between the two countries.
It's a pity that once something like this happens, it cannot be controlled by one or two people. Especially on the civilian side, there are many officials who are imprisoned in Jinyiwei's prison, so they will naturally not give in.
This forced Fan Wencheng to return without success after hitting a wall many times.
At the same time, Hong Chengchou on the Tiger Character Banner side breathed a sigh of relief.
The disputes in the Ming Dynasty were a good thing for the Tiger Flag. The eyes of those civil servants could not fall on the Tiger Flag for the time being.
This gave him and Yang Jiachen some more time to arrange things calmly.
"When will they be able to send the cannon over?" Hong Chengchou asked Yang Jiachen, who had contacted the secret spy.
Although the current disputes in the court make the court temporarily unable to take care of them, sooner or later the dispute will have a result or a break, and it is impossible to continue fighting endlessly.
At that time, these people who came from Tiger Flag for peace talks will once again become the focus of everyone's attention.
Yang Jiachen said: "It is not that easy to transport the cannon into the city, and the place where we live is surrounded by officers and soldiers. Even if the cannon is transported into the city, careful arrangements need to be made to deliver it to us."
"You have to be faster over there. I'm afraid that the people behind us can't help but take action again. Those cannons will be used to protect us." Hong Chengchou said.
He had been feeling a little panicked for the past two days. There was so much chaos in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
Yang Jiachen said: "I will urge them later and ask them to send the cannon over as soon as possible."
"You should keep an eye on the artillery matter. I'll go visit Wei Guogong and see if there is any change in his tone." Hong Chengchou said.
Wei Guogong has now truly become the first nobleman of the Ming Dynasty.
There are cars and horses outside the palace gate, and people come to visit constantly every day, especially officials who want to seek restoration or progress, all of whom come with generous gifts.
Even the reputation of Duke Wei's family is rising.
If you want your disciples to go in and report, if you don't pay him a few taels of silver, you will not be allowed to go in and report. After all, there are so many officials who come to see Duke Wei, and not everyone can be summoned by Duke Wei.
Hong Chengchou got off the sedan and looked around at the group of people waiting outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
Many people were wearing official uniforms.
However, they were all green official uniforms, not even a fifth-grade crimson court uniform.
"Brother, are you also here to ask for an audience with Duke Wei?"
While Hong Chengchou was still looking around, an official not far away came to Hong Chengchou and took the initiative to say hello.
Hong Chengchou turned around and looked at the official who spoke to him. He didn't recognize him, but he still smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, I came here specifically to see the Duke of the country, so do you?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the other people behind the speaker.
When he first got off the sedan, he noticed the person talking to him, and a few other people were standing together talking about something.
"We, like you, are all here to see the Duke. It's a pity that people like us are in a humble position. We have been here for several days and have not been summoned by the Duke." The official said helplessly.
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou nodded and said immediately: "I will send the post over first, so I won't chat with you anymore."
Guarding, he cupped his hands.
"Yes, yes, yes, go and deliver the greeting card first. Remember to give the disciple a little favor when handing over the greeting card. He will help you put the greeting card on it." The official reminded kindly.
Hong Chengchou smiled and nodded, then walked towards the door of Wei Guogong's mansion.
