Chapter 1542: Dong Lin
With this money, Xu Guangqi’s cultivation of fine seeds, Sun Yuanhua’s military equipment, and Ding Baiying’s military training are almost enough for the time being. Shen Long asked Lu Wenzhao to send the money to the internal treasury, and then asked the internal treasury to allocate to Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua and the four guards of Tengxiang. .
"Wenzhao has worked hard on this trip, so let's go down and rest for a few days." After checking the account books, Shen Long asked Lu Wenzhao to step down first. Lu Wenzhao was a little surprised, because this was just the big boss of the eunuchs, Wei Zhongxian and the rest of the party It hasn't been cleaned up completely yet, so why do you have to listen to His Majesty's wishes and seem to stop?
"My minister obeys the decree." But Lu Wenzhao didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he had to hide these questions in his heart for the time being, bowed and retreated after saluting. Since King Xin ascended the throne and became emperor, Lu Wenzhao felt that he was inscrutable. up.
"Is there a memorial today?" After Lu Wenzhao left, Shen Long began to review the memorials. These were all read by the cabinet bachelors first, and then wrote the comments on the paper and pasted them on the memorial with a "small ticket ink book", that is, The legendary "Ticket", so Shen Long didn't need to look through each memorial in detail, he only needed to read the "Ticket" to know what was written in the memorial.
According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, after the emperor had read the "bill draft", he would use red letters to make a reply, commonly known as "criticism". Of course, it also depends on the specific situation. If Zhang Juzheng and other powerful ministers are in power, then it must be Zhang Juzheng who has the final say; of.
With Shen Long's ability, it's no problem at all for him to hold the right to criticize the red, but he has just ascended the throne, and he doesn't want to attract too much attention, and it is indeed too tiring to approve so many memorials; so he just started Put aside the memorial, those who are not important will be handed over to the inspector of ceremonies for approval, and only a few key ones will be approved by themselves.
Hehe, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and the wall fell and everyone pushed. Seeing Wei Zhongxian's downfall, most of the memorials sent up were attacking the eunuchs. It seemed that they wanted to kill all the people Wei Zhongxian left in the court; There aren't many people who talk about serious business. Don't tell me the officials of my Daming are too idle to do anything?
Or are they too keen on partisanship and don't know what to do other than that? Shen Long carefully read each "ticket plan", analyzed the members of the eunuch party who were attacked according to the information collected by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and the historical data in his mind, and then dealt with them according to the specific situation .
What's the use of keeping those who don't know what to do and who know about corruption and bribery? Directly approve the performance, let Lu Wenzhao go to search the house and it's over; those who still have some ability and can do practical things, either stay in the middle school or do something else, warn them and let them do things for the court .
Hey, let me just say, this eunuch will not just sit and wait to die. After searching for a long time, Shen Long finally saw a memorial to impeach Donglin Party members. The dead leader of the Donglin Party, former Youqian capital censor Li Sancai in charge of water transportation and household secretary Li Sancai.
Li Sancai called Luli the Heavenly King of Tota in Donglindian. In the 42nd year of Wanli, Liu Guangfu, the censor, visited Li Sancai and embezzled 220,000 pieces of imperial wood (the wood used to repair the three main halls) to build a private house.
Wanli sent people to inspect Li Sancai's private house, and found that "Cui Wei is vast and extravagant", and the wood used was mostly fir from the south, and occupied the sites of the royal wood factory and the government of the household department. The source of the wood used could not be explained, and Wang Xin, a businessman who purchased imperial wood, testified that the wood was purchased privately by Li Sancai's family slaves; so the three courts agreed to demolish Li's private house and return the wood. There were still 24,000 pieces of wood missing, and Li Sancai Because of this, he was dismissed from office as a civilian.
It is such a person, but Gu Xiancheng, the leader of the Donglin Party, boasted that he is "clean, straight, cowardly and cowardly, but not as tall as he is", "compared to Confucius",
Shen Long also didn't know what to say. How can someone who has been the governor of water transport still be an upright official? Who will believe it?
The person who submitted the memorial is a smart man. He knows that the eunuchs have a bad reputation and it is difficult to turn around in a short time. At this time, it is not only useless to defend the eunuchs, but it will also cause resentment; but this does not mean that he does nothing. No, the Donglin Party can impeach the Eunuch Party, so he can also impeach the Donglin Party.
As for the object of impeachment, you also have to pay attention to it. If you impeach the big bosses of the Donglin Party who are currently in the court, you may not get any good results. Now they are in full swing, and His Majesty has summoned Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua into the palace to treat him The two disciples are quite trusting, and it seems that His Majesty also trusts them.
Then just impeach someone who is already dead. Li Sancai’s sons and daughters are not very promising, and they have been dead for so many years. Gu Xiancheng and Ye Xianggao, who supported him at the beginning, are also dead; However, there are still many members of the Party, Xuan Party, and Chu Party who will return to court.
There are many supporters for his impeachment and few opponents, and it may be possible to pass. Then as long as Li Sancai's situation is found out, the reincarnated Confucius that your Donglin Party talks about is actually a big corrupt official? What would His Majesty think? His impression of the Donglin Party will naturally be bad, which leaves a chance for people from other parties to recover.
Shen Long could see what this person was thinking, but he didn't feel unhappy, because he was also waiting for a similar memorial. As a superior, if the lower family dominates, life will definitely not be easy, and differences of opinions are the only ones. Be king! Of course the Eunuch Party wanted to suppress them, but the Donglin Party couldn't make them too happy, and the same was true for other members of the Zhejiang Party and Chu Party.
It's unlucky for the bosses who were always eunuchs before, now it's Donglin's turn, so let's start with Li Sancai! Water transportation is one of the most fat jobs in the world. Li Sancai has been in charge of water transportation for so long, and he has embezzled 220,000 pieces of wood from the royal family just to build a house. What a family business this must be! It is estimated that the money obtained from copying his home will never be less than that from copying Wei Zhongxian!
Although Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, and Ding Baiying have money at the moment, there are many places where the court needs money, and Shen Long will not dislike too many house raids. Huang Taiji will come in next year, we have to prepare early no.
Shen Long first left the memorial, and then ordered Dongchang and Jin Yiwei to investigate Li Sancai. After finding conclusive evidence, they could copy the house of the Donglin Party leader.
After reading these memorials, Shen Long leaned back on his chair, and began to think about the end of the Donglin Party based on the information he had collected these days, as well as the many historical materials and academic monographs he had browsed in later generations, as well as his communication with Teacher Wu. What is it.
