Chapter 802: It’s the time when the osmanthus is fragrant again (Part 1)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
In the early morning, in Guijimen, Liukemen, and white banners filled the sky.
Ouyang Yijing stood in front of the mourning hall that was temporarily erected, looking at the endless slogans on both sides, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This woman has a great virtue, and she can be so mournful and honorable, and she can be said to be dead." Thinking of this, the guilt of using the woman's death to make trouble for the wind and rain disappeared.
This "great mourning woman" was planned by Ouyang Yijing and several section chiefs. Seeing the endless stream of officials coming to pay their respects, Ouyang Yijing felt so happy when he saw their dissatisfaction and vigilance towards the eunuchs. In fact, he was originally hidden behind the scenes. At first, he hoped to let the people from the Sixth Corridor take the lead, but later he found that these people were in the limelight. He couldn't help but join the team to keep a watch for Mrs. Shi.
He regarded the Six-Care Gate as a base camp against eunuchs, stood in front of Mrs. Shi's spirit, and began to take the next action... He discussed with several section chiefs. On the day when Mrs. Shi's first seven, he would put on the seal in the name of the Six-Care thirteen Roads, and asked the Eighteen-Year Office to jointly sign the name to seek justice for Mrs. Shi. Of course, the so-called seeking justice is just a cover, and the real purpose is to have two dead eunuchs Teng Xiang and Meng Chong. In short, what he thought was to make this struggle in full swing to form a prairie fire, and it is necessary to make the eunuchs' evil deeds clear to the world.
It was just dawn, and the person who was keeping the guards for Mrs. Shi was already trapped. The person who wrote the stamp in the house was still collecting evidence and laying out words. On this side, he taught several backbones face-to-face opportunities, teaching them how to socialize with the mourners today, how to arouse public outrage, and point the finger at the internal surveillance.
At this time, Ling Ru came out of it and said to him: "I didn't close my eyes all night. Let's go and glar for a while before they come to pay their respects."
"I'm not sleepy." Ouyang Yijing's eyes were covered with blood, but he said excitedly: "Hailou, there have been constant condolences in the past two days, which shows that scholars are still very united in major issues. This time we will win." Hailou is Ling Ru's name.
Ling Ru forced a smile and asked the others to go to work first. Then he lowered his voice and said, "A lot of people have come, but I just looked through the sign-in book and saw something strange. One is that no official came forward; the other is that no official from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War came to participate."
"It's easy to understand the previous one. The six ministers and nine ministers are all people with status and are unwilling to come to this muddy water." Ouyang Yijing said with a gloomy face: "But why doesn't the Ministry of War come? Brother Dongquan suffered such a disaster for them. It's too ungrateful." Dongquan is Shi Xing's name.
"I heard that a senior official issued a death order. Any official in the Ministry of War dared to attend the memorial service and would definitely be severely punished." Ling Ru curled his lips and said, "So, even though there are officials in the Ministry of War, they are grateful to Brother Dongquan, they dare not come out openly. I didn't expect that senior official was such a cold and disgraceful person... Fortunately, they pretended to rescue Dongquan that day. It turned out that one of the eunuchs was a red face and the other was a white face. They were all the two generals in front of the imperial court." It seemed that at a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Shen Mo was turned into a ranks of class enemies.
"Your opinion is very reliable." Ouyang Yijing said to the others who were still listening to it: "Just spread this version, we don't have to be polite to ungrateful people."
"No price." Ling Ru panicked at the time and hurriedly said: "I just talk casually and can't do it really."
"Why, are you scared?" Ouyang Yijing looked at him.
"Afraid..." Ling Ruxin said that I was of course afraid, but he refused to admit defeat and said, "Of course not afraid, but now we are dealing with eunuchs, which is not easy to make too many enemies. I think that although Master Chen is not clear about the palace, he is a member of our scholars after all. If he doesn't make him angry, he will definitely remain neutral. Even if you think about it, you should concentrate your strength first and win the current game, right?"
"Well..." Ouyang Yijing was unwilling to accept his feelings. He really wanted to take this opportunity to pull Chen Si off. However, he knew that Ling Ru was right, so he nodded and said in a muffled voice: "It's a bargain."
While talking, suddenly, I heard a scattered sound from Guiji Gate. The two of them looked in the sound and their faces changed drastically.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The access control inside the Huangji Gate has not been opened yet.
Two hundred strong eunuchs in brown clothes lined up in the forbidden gate saw their admiral, Eunuch Liu, accompanying Eunuch Meng, a python robe, slowly walked from a distance. When they got closer, the eunuchs knelt on one knee.
Eunuch Liu called Liu Guoguang and stood in front of the Central Army and said, "Please give me a lecture."
Meng Chong was just unhappy. Teng Xiang, the cunning thing, was actually on duty at this critical moment. His best friend must be considered good.
Seeing that he was called again and there was no response, Eunuch Liu had to whisper: "Eunuch Meng..."
"Ah..." Meng Chong had just come back to his senses. Now that things have come, he can only drive the ducks to the shelves first, and then settle the score with the bastard. As he said that, he put on a ferocious look and said, "Children, the turtle-boys in the Sixth Corridor have set up a mourning hall in the Forbidden City of Long Live Master. He cries all day long and is mourning with the emperor. This is a great humiliation that has never been before."
"It is said that the ministers in the foreign court are insulting the emperor and they should all die." Anyway, these little eunuchs are not educated, so he just said nonsense: "It's not the emperor because we are not good slaves, the emperor is the lord of the world. We must be kind. His authority can only be reflected in Emperor Zhengde. When Liu Jin was insulting the ministers in the court, Emperor Jiajing was, and Ma Sen dared to whip all officials. Why did Emperor Longqing not dare to help his master shock the ministers?" As he said that, his eyes turned red, "Long live the emperor, who is so insulted, how can we have the face to live in the world? A hundred years later, let the people of later generations compare us to the group that we are a coward who dares to protect the master, and we don't even have the backbone to scold them? You are willing to bear such a bad reputation, but our family dares not bear it!"
I have to admit that there are indeed two tricks for those who can become big sluts. The little eunuchs made him breathe rapidly and his chest was filled with anger. Eunuch Liu also wanted to squeeze a few tears and be sad with Eunuch Meng. However, his eyes were not good at being so strong that he could not get any moist. He had to rush to express his opinion: "Don't worry, you old man, please send a message, how should you do this? The young people are even to pieces and will not refuse."
"Okay," Meng Chong nodded and said, "The palace gate is about to open, so you rushed out, take advantage of the time before the mourning person came, and smashed the mourning things inside without saying a word and then retreated the same way, running northward for a moment. At the gate of Xuanwu, you can get fifty taels of silver for each person. Then you follow that person out of the palace and take a boat to Nanjing to avoid the previous year. When the limelight passes, you will return to your hometown again and then be promoted."
The eunuchs first made him excited and excited, but now they were tempted with golden light. As the door slowly opened, they were about to rush out with a scream.
"There is the last thing," Meng Chong said in a silence: "You are angry about this today and went to vent your anger on your own. It has nothing to do with Eunuch Liu, and it has nothing to do with me. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, the brothers of Dongchang and Tizhengsi will not let you go."
"Did you hear it clearly?" Eunuch Liu felt that Meng Chong was talking nonsense for a long time, and this sentence was the most critical, so he shouted.
"Clear"
"Go"
The eunuchs in the central army were all wearing nail boots and ran like iron hooves. They stepped out densely from the Huangji Gate that opened, and the ground in the square in front of the door was trembling.
Under Ouyang Yijing and Ling Ru's horrified eyes, the eunuchs rushed into Guiji Gate and divided into two teams according to the previous arrangement. One team specially found people and fought when they saw them. The other team demolished the spirit shed, pulled them off, and tore them off. In a blink of an eye, the Six Cases, an atmosphere of grief, was in a mess...
Poor censors, many of them were knocked to the ground before they could react, and some of them had blood flowed from their heads and faces, looking very heavy.
Ouyang Yijing was the first to wake up and immediately said loudly: "Who told you to hit someone? Stop! Stop!" As he said that, he went to pull an eunuch who was beating the censor, and said sternly: "You dare to fight."
"It's you who hits you." The man turned around and punched him to the ground, then kicked him up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The screams came from afar over the solemn palace, and even in the Wenyuan Pavilion, which was far away, they could hear them very clearly.
The cabinet masters who were discussing the matter changed color when they heard this, and their faces turned pale and said, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"What a big thing happened, something big happened." A Si Shulang broke in despite the rules and said anxiously: "Yuan Weng, the eunuchs are beating the censors."
"What?" Xu Jie Huo De stood up, and was dizzy because he got up too hard. The second assistant Li Chunfang next to him quickly supported him and said, "Yuan Weng, be careful of your health."
"Hurry up, help me over." Xu Jie was already anxious and walked out in a swaying manner. Zhang Juzheng quickly stood on the other side and helped him out with Li Chunfang.
Shen Mo and Chen Yiqin looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes, so they followed them silently.
When the eunuch who saw the cabinet minister coming out of the Huiji Gate and looking out, he blew a copper whistle.
"Turn..." The eunuchs who committed the murderers stopped immediately, flocked out of Guiji Sect, and ran back to the Huangji Sect under the noses of the pavilions and disappeared into the inner palace.
"Rampant, too rampant..." Xu Jie was so angry that he shivered, but he had no choice but to go to Liukeling to check the situation first.
When I went in, I saw the spirit banner, the curtain was pulled, and the white gauze was pulled all over the ground, and the white gauze looked very miserable. But what was even more miserable was that the censors who were knocked to the ground were moaning, some of them were already fainting, with their noses and swollen faces, their bodies were covered in blood, and their shapes were extremely miserable.
"It's a sin..." Looking at this miserable scene, Xu Jie seemed to have returned to the Jiajing era, and couldn't help but cry, "Why are those people so crazy under the feet of the emperor, in the imperial city?"
"Yuan Weng, stop talking about this." Zhang Juzheng whispered: "It's important to save people."
"Go and call the imperial physician." Xu Jie came to his senses and ordered: "Go to the Meridian Gate to stop him, don't let the people from the outer court come soon."
"Yes." Although I know that this kind of thing cannot be hidden, it is still incomparable to people who can see it with their own eyes and rely on guessing to make up for it.
After giving the order to Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie asked Li Chunfang to help him go to Huangji Gate.
"Yuan Weng, what are you going to do?" Li Chunfang asked softly.
"I am going to sue the case. So many officials have been beaten. I, a commander of all officials, cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb." Xu Jie's hair was trembling, and he was obviously in the anger of leaving.
"Call Yao over here." Li Chunfang helped Xu Jie walk out while instructing Chang Sui.
Not far from the Guiji Gate, the two eunuchs carried a carriage and ran over quickly.
At this moment, Xu Jie had calmed down, sat on his waist and walked forward two steps, and suddenly ordered: "Go back to the cabinet."
"Don't you go to settle the accounts with the eunuch?" Li Chunfang said in a slightly disappointed manner.
"It's useless." Xu Jie shook his head slowly and said, "It is obvious that after careful planning, they will definitely refuse to admit their conspiracy in the palace at this time."
"What should I do?" Li Chunfang said.
"Let Jiangnan go there." Xu Jie said slowly: "He has a good relationship with the emperor and strives to get the murderer in the palace."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Si really wanted to kick Old Xu's butt. He thought that military reform would make Xu Jie change his attitude towards him, but who knew it would be the same... He couldn't think of himself for good things. Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror, and it was not a bad thing inside and outside, but he could not escape.
If I had known this, it would be better to be sick at home. I was silent all the way and came to the Ganqing Palace to ask, the emperor's hibiscus was warm and he had not gotten up until now. I had to wait outside for a long time before it was transmitted inside.
Longqing was wearing yellow silk underwear, sitting cross-legged on the couch, with Zhang Xiaoji in front of him, and the emperor's breakfast was placed on it... What are the ginseng turtle soup, red dates, wolfberry and hibiscus cakes, they are all foods that can nourish qi and blood.
Seeing Chen Si come in, Longqing warmly greeted him to sit down and eat together, saying, "Why did you come here so early? You haven't eaten yet."
"Thank you, Lord Long, but you don't have to hurry to eat." Chen Si sighed softly, "I am here to sue."
"Who is the case?" Long Qing smacked his lips, his expression not like a false saying.
Silence told the emperor what happened today.
When Long Qing heard that those annoying censors were beaten up, his first reaction was to be happy. He immediately realized how much it was to hurt the national health. So he said seriously: "I don't know about this." He said that, looking at Teng Xiang who was serving him by the side, saying, "Do you know?"
Teng Xiang shrank his neck and said, "How dare the servant know what the emperor doesn't know."
"Go and call Meng Chong, Feng Bao and the others." Long Qing said calmly: "There are also eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervision."
Soon, a large inner court wearing a big red python robe was kneeling in front of the imperial bed.
"Say, who did it?" Long Qing slapped the table and said, "If you dare to be a hero, don't be afraid to take responsibility."
All the eunuchs shook their heads like rattles, so Longqing had to ask one by one, until there was the last one left, and no one dared to be responsible for this matter.
"It's your subordinate who hits people." Looking at Eunuch Liu who was kneeling at the end, the emperor said coldly: "It doesn't matter to you, it's okay."
"Of course it has something to do with me. It is because of the poor discipline of my servants that caused such trouble." Eunuch Liu quickly replied: "Please punish me severely."
"I'm pretty good at avoiding the important things." Long Qing sneered: "Is it just because of the lack of discipline?"
"It's true." Eunuch Liu replied: "Before I came, I asked the rest of the Zhongjun camp. They said that those people saw that the emperor was bullied by the people from the Liuke Gang, but they hated him and made an appointment to vent their anger for the emperor."
"So, is it their spontaneous?" Long Qing was not stupid. Seeing that he could justify himself, he stopped being aggressive and turned to the dowry and said, "It wasn't your command?"
"Absolutely not. Although I want to beat them up, I will never dare to do so without the emperor's will." The eunuchs replied together.
"I don't listen to your determination, I'm tired of listening." Longqing ordered: "Go and arrest all those who beat people, and tie a few more to talk."
"The emperor forgives the crime. After they beat the man, they have already escaped from the palace." Seeing that the emperor seemed to be really angry, Eunuch Liu said anxiously.
"A hundred and two hundred people have all escaped?" Long Qing's expression became gloomy and said, "What is Gong Jin doing for?"
"Because the incident happened suddenly, Gong Jin didn't know that they had committed a crime," Eunuch Liu whispered: "I just thought they were fucking, so I didn't stop him."
"..." Long Qing finally asked and said to Shen Mo who was sitting next to him: "My dear, what do you think?"
"Since the father-in-law can justify himself," Shen Mo said lightly: "I have nothing to ask, I hope this is true."
The eunuchs who were worried that he would pursue them relentlessly, but now they felt relieved and even flattered the emperor and Shen Mo without any trouble.
After coming out of Longqing, Shen Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly. As expected, he came to the conclusion that a cat would not be held or a dog would not be chewed. In fact, he knew that although Longqing was 80% unaware of it, he was very happy to see this result, so he had more protection for several big worms.
I guess once this news is transmitted back, it will be like throwing a stone into a pit, which will inevitably arouse a great "public outrage"... I can only ask for more blessings and not be splashed all over.
