Eight hundred and fortieth chapters clamor
Wang Ji looked at the Taoist priest's expression and his expression was slightly dark, and he said, "Immortal Master, what do you think?"
Wu Youwei felt even more nervous and turned to look at the Taoist priest.
He was actually not stupid, and he had long been confused. The recent turmoil in the court has been strange and it is really hard to see clearly. They are people who want to do big things, so how can they not see clearly?
The Taoist priest browsed and looked at the two of them and smiled: "In some ways, the emperor is indeed wise and powerful. His control over the court is far beyond the past dynasties, and he is chasing Taizu and Taizong. However, he also has a flaw, that is, he is impatient when encountering things, and wants to achieve everything overnight. He is so happy to achieve success... From the first year of Chongzhen to now, he has hollowed out the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what he wants to do now, if he is not careful, he will lose everything... We don't need to worry, just take the opportunity to strengthen ourselves, turn the tide when the building is about to collapse, and support the country will fall..."
Wang Ji nodded with satisfaction and said, "The words of the Immortal Master are very suitable for me."
Wu Youwei felt much more at ease and said, "Then I will take the decree tomorrow and I will go and pick up Lord Yang to be released from prison. Anyway, it is the memorial I submitted, so no one can say anything."
The Taoist priest said: "It's not possible yet. The emperor has other ideas about pardoning Lord Yang and the Donglin Party. We might as well wait and see what's going on."
Wang Ji's expression remained unmoved, and he said in agreement for a while: "The Immortal Master said it well. The emperor's current emperor's imperial mind skills are comparable to Taizu Taizong. There are too many lessons to learn from. We still need to be very cautious."
Wu Youwei was very anxious and said unwillingly: "Yes, then I'll ask someone to take care of you secretly and ask Lord Yang to stay in the capital."
Wang Ji and the Taoist priest had no objection to this. After a while, Wang Ji looked at the Taoist priest and said, "Immortal Master, how is the business going on?"
The Taoist priest bowed slightly and said, "I have ordered people to prepare in Nanzhili. They are all innocent and have no connection with Donglin. The chamber of commerce formed is second only to the Chiyu Trading Company. Bumubutai is very supportive and even sold us fifty ships of all sizes at a low price. The routes they provide are the best, and will be given to us by February next year at the latest..."
Wang Ji opened his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "That's good, the profits of sea trade are huge, and with money we can do a lot of things."
A clever woman can’t cook without rice, and a stroll without money can’t move.
Taoist priests' fairy style and Taoist gang said: "In addition to the sea trade, there are other chambers of commerce to be established one after another, all are profitable businesses, and one million a year is no problem."
Wu Youwei was also overjoyed when he heard this. It would be easier to do many things with money.
Heavy snow fell in the capital again, covering the capital under the white again, and a colder aura spread across the capital, gathering but not dispersing.
Yu Ya Palace.
Zhu Xu sat under the eaves, holding Xiao Ciye in his arms, and cooking a small hot pot.
I had to eat some light food early in the morning, and the little guy had already had enough food. Now he grabbed Zhu Xu's clothes and his big eyes were spinning.
The hot pot is full of light vegetarian dishes, and Zhu Xu is drinking steamed buns and porridge, which is quite comfortable.
Li Jieyu held the eldest princess Zhu Shuxian in his arms, and said to Zhu Xu while coaxing her gently, "Emperor, I have ordered the palace maids to clean up Kunning Palace. I should be able to arrange it before the New Year."
Zhu Xu shook it in front of Xiao Ciye's eyes with a piece of tofu skin and put it into his mouth. The little guy quickly stretched out his hands and shouted.
Li Jieyu smiled softly and said, "Several places in the Qianqing Palace have been cleaned up. You can move in today. There is basically no problem with your daily life."
Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Well, Liu Shimin, please move. I will spend the night in Ganqing Palace tonight. The main hall, side hall, and greenhouses will be cleaned up."
"Yes." Liu Shimin responded and turned around and went out.
As soon as Liu Shimin left, Cao Huachun braved the heavy snow and said, "Emperor, the imperial edict has been stamped. Have you gone to pass the edict?"
Zhu Xu picked up a cabbage with a chopstick, brushed it in the pot, and didn't speak immediately.
Pardoning the Donglin Party is actually to destroy the Donglin Party, and at the same time it is to completely eliminate the party struggles and eliminate all the remaining poisons.
But just pardon is not enough, and it will also cause a series of new troubles. Naturally, these are not what Zhu Xu wants, and he has a backup plan.
"Go." Zhu Xu said for a long time. The motives of the Donglin Party members were actually good, but the forms, methods, methods, and results were absolutely unforgivable! The Donglin Party also accounted for a large part of the demise of the Ming Dynasty in history, and it could no longer be described or judged by a good intention.
"After the order." Cao Huachun responded and braved the snow and left the palace with the imperial edict.
Early in the morning, the entire capital was very quiet, especially the major yamen outside the Meridian Gate, and everyone's eyes gathered at the Ministry of Justice.
Yang Lian was once the left censor, imperial teacher, and Donglin boss in the court. His special pardon has touched the hearts of countless people, and many people are also speculating whether his pardon means that some changes will occur in the court, and whether the Donglin Party will be outstanding again!?
Zhang Wenda Banfang, the Minister of Justice, was unaware of anything outside and was watching the reports about the Criminal Prison Department in various places.
The local criminal jail departments have only achieved provincial-level, provincial-level, and other prefectures and counties doing some pretty projects, and there is no actual change. To change this situation, it is not enough to rely solely on the pressure from the Ministry of Justice. It requires the joint cooperation of the local governor's yamen and prefectures and counties.
Zhang Wenda is not a vegetarian either. He decided to make a good start and give him a good start next year!
Liao Changyong came in from outside and said, "Sir, the imperial edict is coming. Don't we make any arrangements?"
Zhang Wenda was also an old man from Donglin. He looked motionless when he heard this, and said lightly, "No, the Minister of Justice and the Doctor will go out with me later and go to the Governor's Court. I have important matters to discuss with the Governor's Court."
Liao Changyong was stunned and said, "Sir, what is this?"
"You go and notify me." Zhang Wenda said indifferently.
Liao Changyong looked at Zhang Wenda, suddenly woke up and said, "It's my lord!" He knew that Zhang Wenda wanted to completely draw a clear line with the Donglin Party. Regardless of whether Yang Lian can resume again in the future, Zhang Wenda has nothing to do with Yang Lian and will never have any connection again!
When Cao Huachun arrived at the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Wenda and others had already left, leaving an empty Ministry of Justice.
Cao Huachun entered the prison of the Ministry of Justice and came directly to Yang Lian's cell.
Yang Lian has been a little confused these days, often in a daze, and his hair gradually turned white.
The reputation he wanted to keep was gone. He was destined to bear the stains of history and be scolded by later generations. He wanted to show his ambitions by death, but he could not die and could only live in suffering.
In the end, he found a reason to survive and he wanted to overturn the case for himself, clarify Donglin, and correct his reputation!
With this goal, he felt great courage in his heart. The thoughts of discomfort instantly reached, his eyes were burning, as if they were about to burn.
"Yang Lian received the order!" Cao Huachun stood outside the cell and looked at Yang Lian and said loudly.
Yang Lian tidied up his clothes, tied up his hair, and knelt down and said, "The criminal received the order."
Cao Huachun spread his imperial edict with a expressionless face and said, "The Emperor Chengyun of Heaven said, "The crime was imprisoned by Yang Lian, the leader of the Donglin Party, one of the culprits of the party struggle, and he was a lot of evil... He thought of profound reflection and confessed his guilt and sobered up his sins... Therefore, he specially pardoned his sins and atoneed his sins... He respected this."
Yang Lian knelt on the ground, his eyebrows frowned. He didn't agree with these. He suppressed his anger and said calmly, "The criminal received the order."
As Yang Lian finished speaking, the prison door opened, Cao Huachun walked in with the imperial edict and handed it to Yang Lian.
After listening quietly, Yang Lian took the imperial edict with an even more ugly expression and stood up.
Cao Huachun held his hand and looked at Yang Lian and said, "Mr. Yang, the order has been issued. You still need to submit a memorial to apologize. You must be profound and never fool around."
Yang Lian frowned again. Although it was a good idea, he felt extremely uncomfortable. His face twitched and said, "Yes."
Cao Huachun glanced at him again and turned around and left.
Not long after, Yang Lian's family walked into the prison of the Ministry of Justice and brought new clothes to Yang Lian. Yang Lian washed it and walked out of the prison with a fresh look.
With Yang Lian being pardoned, some other Donglin Party were all small shrimps, following Yang Lian, with more than 20 people congested.
Outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice, nearly a hundred people who received the news were waiting, and they all looked excited. When they saw Yang Lian really came out, they all stepped forward and shouted.
"Congratulations to Brother Yang for his release!"
"Mr. Congratulations to you to regain your life!"
"The old man has met the old man!"
"Students have met Mr. Yang!"
From the old man in his sixties and seventies to the scholar in his sixties and seventies, everyone was very excited, as if they were not here to welcome someone out of prison, but to see their rebirth of their parents.
Further away, I don’t know how many people are watching, but no one dares to step forward.
There are many smart people in the officialdom. No one knows whether the amnesty of Yang Lian and the Donglin Party members are good or bad. Before we figure out the purpose of the emperor and the cabinet, almost no one in the court and the public went to greet Yang Lian.
The stinky face on Yang Lian's face finally got better, and he signaled his head to walk down the stairs.
He didn't say anything, didn't sit in a sedan chair, or got on a carriage, but just turned around and walked out of East Chang'an Gate and headed east.
The east of the city was filled with dignitaries, nobles, nobles, royal princes, and Yang Lian walked along the way, as if he was a parade, with countless people following him, grouping in groups, clamoring like a boil, blocking Chang'an Street.
There are countless people watching on both sides, windows and doors, forming the most lively picture today.
"The Donglin Party is still so terrible. I'm afraid the court's pardon is wrong..."
"Yes, even if the court intends to suppress Yang Lian's posture, he may not be able to suppress it."
"If the adults from the six cabinet departments knew about this scene, they still don't know what they thought..."
There are always some people who are clear onlookers who see clearly and sigh in their hearts.
Such things can naturally be hidden from the cabinet. Now there are only a handful of original Donglin people in the court, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Wenda are the best.
Sun Chengzong has always adhered to neutrality and resolutely not involved in party disputes, seeking power, or seeking profit. This is the foundation for him to be able to base himself on the cabinet. When he heard the news, he looked out of the window with a complicated expression and did not say much.
Zhang Wenda has completely cut off from Donglin and has ignored this.
However, the cabinet Bi Ziyan frowned when he heard this. He became more and more disgusted with the Donglin Party and their actions, and his anger rose.
Yang Lian's behavior is tantamount to a declaration, declaring that he is released from prison and declaring that the Donglin Party will return.
Of course, some people are happy and some are sad, and thousands of people are in a state of noisy and noisy way.
Although such a behavior was a bit arrogant, it was just pardoned. Someone complained about it but the yamen would not interfere. He allowed Yang Lian to go from west to east and returned to the house that his family bought temporarily.
Yang Lian and the Donglin Party were officially pardoned, causing huge waves in the capital, rippling, and countless rumors surged out, covering the capital, and spreading rapidly around, causing greater movement.
These have nothing to do with the palace. Although there are still scattered snowflakes floating, from Jingyang Palace to Ganqing Palace, the palace maids and internal supervisors are busy, constantly shuttle, transport and arrange between the two palaces.
The Ganqing Palace has been cleaned up for a while, and the warm pavilion, the bedroom, and the main hall can be used. Zhu Xu is already in the warm pavilion now.
Liu Shimin brought people to the warm room and moved everything Zhu Xu usually used in the imperial study.
Zhu Xu sat on the soft collapse. The bed was covered with a kang, which was hot. The cold air was reduced by half. He flipped the book in his hand and looked down. Not far behind him, two little guys, Zhu Shuxian and Zhu Ciyan, were lying side by side, moving their hands and feet, making vague and murmur sounds from time to time.
Liu Shimin was busy for a while, came in from outside, and went forward and said, "Master, Yang Dahong blatantly passed through East Chang'an Gate, with hundreds of people following him. The scene was quite huge, and there were many followers."
Zhu Xu said without moving his face and without raising his head, "Is the list recorded?"
Liu Shimin looked up at Zhu Xu, then lowered his head and said, "A record of 120 people, now there are more than 500 people on the list."
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yes, keep staring at me and don't let go. I am not short of talents in the Ming Dynasty, the more the better."
"Yes." Liu Shimin said. The list in his hand has been increasing almost all the time. This list is not something that ordinary people can use. If it is really 'reused' or exiled in the future, it will be the whole family, and this number will be more than ten times more!
