Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This important matter is that the leaders among the ministers, Gu Bingqian, the bachelor of Dongge, Huang Liji, the bachelor of Jianji Palace, Shi Fenglai, the bachelor of Zhongji Palace, and Zhang Ruitu, the bachelor of Jianji Palace, were held by the Jin Yiwei at the same time, one by one.  He was invited to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.  Also arrested was Lai Zongdao, who had been dismissed from office.  ?Things happen that are both expected and unexpected.  Several of them are members of Wei Zhongxian's party, and their positions of power can basically influence the government. With the fall of Wei Zhongxian, they were arrested so quickly, and the matter is naturally worth pondering.  However, what was involved was, as expected, all lies to deceive the public, instigating hundreds of thousands of people to gather at the front door, fooling the people into loyally admonishing the emperor, and forcing the queen to abdicate.  It turns out that Tian Ergeng was angry this time and risked his life to keep his position.  A lot of money was spent, and secret investigations were carried out without allowing open investigation. Jin Yiwei's two months' income was spent on it. Many informants were recruited from three mountains and five mountains, ten miles and eight villages, etc., and they guarded several plots.  , looking for it all over the world.  The scope of the investigation was expanded from the capital to the entire Gyeonggi region, and then to Hebei and other provinces.  You must know that the people who spread the rumors eventually showed their faces, and they are not regular culprits. When they go to other places, they just avoid the limelight.  He was not a gangster, so he had no anti-investigation capabilities. Soon, they were caught in Xianghe, Baoding and other places!  Although Jinyiwei¡¯s torture may not be as good as Catholic torture, facing a few villains who make money through words, they are still able to catch them with their hands and their talents.  Of course the name of the man behind the scenes came out.  Then I followed the clues and caught the contact person.  And then of course there are these five decision-makers.  Xu Guangqi did not come forward again, and Jin Yiwei did not expand the scope of the case.  The facts are conclusive, well-founded, and the case-handling procedures are reasonable and legal. Even torture and interrogation are useless, and no one can find fault with it.  Although Xu Guangqi hates Dongchang and Jinyiwei, he can't stop it because of his inner likes and dislikes, right?  "You can forgive the sins committed by God, but you can't live if you do the sins yourself. If you sow melons, you will reap beans. How can you stop it if there is no injustice?" This was Xu Guangqi's attitude towards this matter.  And the biggest beneficiary, Concubine Ren Rong, did not come forward to protect these ministers who were loyal to the prince.  Just kidding, why should I protect it? If I leave, I am asking for trouble and disgrace.  First, Tian Ergeng and Wei Zhongxian are not compatible. In the past, when they were not favored, they followed Wei Zhongxian like dogs.  As a result, as soon as he gained favor, he immediately fought against Wei Zhongxian and turned into the original hostile relationship.  Concubine Ren Rong's face may not be very useful in front of Tian Ergen.  Second, the relationship with the ministers is limited to submitting certificates to the prince.  There is no language or writing in the petition, and it does not involve Concubine Ren Rong.  On the contrary, jumping out to check at this time is really a lack of brains.  In fact, the five ministers could only admit that they were unlucky. In order to submit their own certificates of surrender to the prince and show their loyalty, there was nothing wrong with the matter of proposing the crown prince.  But that's just the icing on the cake.  What is the difference between making this kind of proposal and not making it?  The five of them are all mature with age.  Old Wei is getting older and still has a few more years to live, but no matter how energetic he is, he won't be able to bounce back for a few days.  But Concubine Ren Rong is different. She is the same as becoming the 'Queen Mother' in the end.  (Of course, that was after the emperor died) If you can get on this boat, your family will be invincible.  And this time Zhang Yan made a strong return.  It was the most difficult moment for Concubine Ren Rong. If this happened, it would be like giving timely help. The five people finally started to make arrangements, and Da Zong Bo Lai Zongdao, who rushed to the front, was the first to be unlucky. At the same time, next  Among the arrangements, Lai Zongdao was even more active. You must know that it is definitely impossible to follow the emperor's route for the revival of Lai's family, and can only take the prince's route.  Finally, there was the matter of the front door!  But no one expected that Zhang Yan would play even more brilliantly and try to retreat in order to advance. This retreat actually cost his life to retreat, and things suddenly got out of hand.  There are both witnesses and physical evidence, this is a solid case!  A year later, Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty was awarded four bachelor's degrees in a row, and his status doubled for a while.  After the news reached Zhu Youxiao¡¯s ears, Zhu Youxiao slapped the table and became furious.  A group of ministers did not pay attention to the national economy and people's livelihood, but instead engaged in small tricks, conspiracies and other things. They played so smoothly that they finally forced their own daughter-in-law to commit suicide and became a vegetative state.  Thinking about it makes me sad.  ¡°You make it difficult for me every day, so I won¡¯t let you get away with it.  The decree states: The four of them, as imperial officials, did not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but devoted themselves to disturbing the harem, to the point where the queen committed suicide and left her soul.  This is the verdict given to those in prison.  The emperor did not get angry because of this incident. Such a punishment was beyond everyone's expectation.  This is too cheap, no house raids, no beheadings, just a simple removal of official uniforms.  This is the emperor?Are you angry for the queen?  But the matter is far from over. The five people have just received the imperial edict and returned home from Beizhensi.  Jin Yiwei came to arrest again.  The reason is of course the issue of corruption and bribery during his tenure. Many "report letters" have arrived at Shuntian Mansion.  This was originally within the scope of Liu Zhixuan's investigation in Shuntian Prefecture.  Just investigating now.  "The emperor treated political prisoners with ease. In this case involving the empress' divorce, the role played by Zhu Youxiao, both positive and negative, was not very clear, so it was difficult to deal with it in a profound or superficial way.  However, this kind of criminal malfeasance case is clearly stipulated in Ming law.  Liao¡¯s salary was not taken into account. As a result, the five dismissed ministers only accepted bribes, which was enough to confiscate their homes and exterminate nine tribes several times.  Zhu Youxiao didn¡¯t even ask about this matter!  Everything is done according to legal procedures, what does it have to do with me?  In this way, the former five ministers were confiscated and exterminated one by one.  At this time, Zhu Youzheng was at sea, heading straight for North Korea.  This expedition was still led by Yuan Keli, while Shen Yourong's sixth son, Shen Shouchong, stayed in Leiden to guard the sea.  A total of 60 cement ships went to sea, and 30 went directly to Gaizhou, where they were transformed into wind turbines.  Song Yingxing, who was going back and forth, couldn't complete this kind of work.  It would be better to sail there directly to save trouble.  Twenty cement ships went straight to North Korea and then reunited.  During our stay in Leiden, all cement ships have been modified with soft sails, and there are specialized workers in the industry. On sailing ships, hard sails are indeed not as good as soft sails in catching wind.  This modification is not only convenient for operation, but also increases the speed of the ship, which is really satisfying.  Hundreds of Western-style ships have been repaired and went out with the army without changing their appearance.  This is of course intended to confuse the enemy when they regain Taiwan and Macau, and then hang the sun and moon flag.  These 160 ships have a total of 20,000 navy troops and more than 4,000 artillerymen, as well as many Western prisoners.  The other 50 sand ships collected and purchased are ships dedicated to 6,000 marines and reinforcements.  Because the sand boat is a flat-bottomed boat, its draft is relatively shallow, which is more convenient for landing.  ??At this time, Zheng Zhilong was leading a hundred Western captains on a special cement ship. They were divided into ten groups, and each group was free to put forward its own plans for oceangoing and combat operations.  If the plan is adopted, or even meritorious service is achieved, the group will receive a reward, and there is a specific method for the content of the reward.  Captains continue their careers and enjoy management-level treatment (in addition to salary), which makes them very enthusiastic about work.  Ming Dynasty's naval career has just started and there is considerable room for development.  Once he goes to war with his own country this time, he will inevitably be called a traitor.  There is little hope of going back.  If you want to live a good life, you can only rely on Ming Dynasty. The twenty-year sentence is not short at all.  Zheng Zhilong is now full of energy and wants to do something big. After the Ming Emperor and the court really pay attention to the ocean, it is certain that the life of pirates will not be easy.  But now the emperor has given him a better career, running a company!  It is certain that Dongshi will imitate him, because Zhu Youxiao wanted to imitate the East India Company founded by the British and the Dutch, a company that represented the will of the country.  Regarding this matter, Zhu Youxiao thought about ordering Zheng Zhilong, Xu Xinsu, etc. to recruit some people, plus some Ming officials, to form a Ming America company to get involved in North and South America.  Anyway, there is no owner's land there. If God doesn't take it, he will suffer the consequences; if the times fail, he will suffer the consequences. Why are only Europeans benefiting there? Can the Ming Dynasty also build a few provinces there?  When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he was immediately moved by the emperor's words. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Zheng Zhilong had had enough of what he had experienced in the past year.  This life under house arrest almost broke his bones.  He is a practical man and spending time here is really a waste.  On Ganghwa Island in North Korea, after the blind king Li Hui was rescued by Yuan Keli, Jian Nu directly killed Li Zong, the usurping king. The reason was quite simple. The blind man was easier to control than him.  Eventually Li Hui formed an alliance with Jiannu.  Now Li Hui can't live in the palace in Seoul, and voluntarily gave it to Mang Gurtai, and arrived at Ganghwa Island, in order to prevent Mang Gurtai from swallowing him up one day.  After experiencing a coup, he became more cautious, not to mention that there was a wolf like Jiannu around him.  Because Li Hui failed to request the crown prince five times, he certainly had no good intentions for the Ming Dynasty. In the end, he was trapped in Yuan Keli who rescued him, but Yuan Keli had no good intentions and ended up leaving himself in a mess.  This made Li Hui hate Ming even more.  Killing Shangpi Island has no psychological burden on Li Hui. First, Pi Island itself belongs to North Korea. Second, North Korea can be destroyed anytime and anywhere anyway.??, no matter how great the threat from Ming Dynasty is, it is better for the county magistrate to take charge now.
