Chapter 051: Arresting the Donglin Party
In late April of the first year of the Apocalypse, the summer harvest is approaching.&1t;/p>
However, in the center of power of the Ming Dynasty, a storm was brewing. Zhu Youxiao, who had not returned to the palace for more than half a month, immediately summoned Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, after returning to the palace.&1t;/p>
It was night at this time, and Tian Ergeng hurriedly entered the palace to meet him. He conspired with Emperor Zhu Youxiao for nearly half an hour, and there was also the admiral of the East Factory Li Jinzhong.&1t;/p>
To deal with the Donglin Party, Li Jinzhong and Tian Ergeng proposed to Zhu Youxiao that the case of moving the palace was removed and liquidated the Donglin Party.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao immediately agreed, and then Li Jinzhong listed the most jumpy Donglin Party officials among the six cases of palace transfer. Zhu Youxiao looked at the list and nodded and passed.&1t;/p>
"Just arrest people, no need to be punished. Not only do people need to be arrested, but their whole family must be arrested and all assets must be seized." Zhu Youxiao ordered.&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty, why is this?" Li Jinzhong asked in confusion, "If there were no torture, how could they confess?"&1t;/p>
"I am the emperor, why do they need to confess?" Zhu Youxiao said contemptuously, "So what if I confess? The Donglin Party will still say you are slandering. Even if you beat them to death in prison, will these people be afraid? However, if they are all guilty of their whole family, whoever offends me in the future will have to consider the consequences of the whole family."&1t;/p>
"The emperor is wise." Tian Ergeng and Li Jinzhong suddenly realized that this is the reason? If they arrested and killed these Donglin Party, they would instead be "heroic". After all, there are many brainwashed SBs in the Donglin Party. They feel righteous and upright after doing things that harm the country and the people.&1t;/p>
After all, China was still in the feudal ethics period. It used a scientific system with the "Book of Changes" as its core, and its worldview was completely different from that of later generations. Especially these scholars, they all studied the Book of Changes. In addition to taking the Bazi essays in the imperial examination, there was also part of the Book of Changes.&1t;/p>
People's thoughts are completely different from those of later generations. People in this era want to be famous and have a good reputation. Because they believe that as long as they are famous in history and people remember them after death, they can gain huge trust in the underworld. In terms of later generations, they are spiritual energy. This spiritual energy can be used for the survival of the Yin God in the world, and in the underworld it is a thing like "money". With enough "money" and you can buy a good one if you are reincarnated in the underworld.&1t;/p>
This is the idea of the ancients, which dominated this era.&1t;/p>
As the saying goes, selflessness is selfishness. Many literati have no intimidation effect on them in order to become famous. If they are cut off by the emperor, they can become famous. They even want to be cut off!&1t;/p>
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao naturally would not have cut down these Donglin Party foolishly. If they were exempted from being punished, they would just be detained. Moreover, not only would one person be punished, but the whole family would also have to be held in a row, which would cut off their incense heritage.&1t;/p>
People in this era always think about what will happen after death when they are alive. If they want to gain the trust of incense after death, one is to be remembered forever, and the other is to burn paper money for them after their descendants.&1t;/p>
Paper money is actually just a superficial form. What is important is when making paper money, people spiritually associate it with the "money" by printing the shape of "copper coins" and origami ingots, thereby injecting spiritual energy into the paper money. This will be effective in burning it to the underworld. The printing of underworld coins with a face value of over 100 million in later generations is actually ineffective.&1t;/p>
Why did the Chinese form a clan system?&1t;/p>
The essence of the clan system is to obtain a steady stream of incense efficiently after death. After a clan man dies, his tablet enters the ancestral hall, and thus receives worship from the entire clan. The more prosperous the clan, the more incense it will be. This is why the clan does not allow members to enter the ancestral hall after death, and why the clan prefers boys over girls. Sooner or later, girls belong to other people's families, so they cannot provide incense to them after death, so they naturally do not pay attention to it.&1t;/p>
The ancestors get incense in the underworld, and will "send children" to the clan in the underworld, spend money to buy some strong luck ghosts in the underworld and reincarnate them into the clan, making the clan more prosperous. The members of the clan in the living will improve the clan's fortune through Feng Shui activities, forming a virtuous cycle system for the growth of the clan.&1t;/p>
Is it true or not? But people these days think so and do it. The status of women in ancient China is getting lower and lower, which has a lot to do with the development of the clan system and the expansion of influence. Before the clan was developed, the status of women in China was actually very high.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao did not kill them, and no one would remember them all day long when they were alive. Over time, people would even forget them. Not only would they not be remembered forever, but they also cut off their descendants' incense. Just ask them if they are afraid!&1t;/p>
This trick is a very vicious way to remove firewood from the bottom of the pot.&1t;/p>
This was a joint arrest operation between Jinyiwei and the East Factory. In the middle of the night, Tian Ergeng and Li Jinzhong left the palace and took action immediately.&1t;/p>
The Jinyiwei and the East Factory spies were dispatched overnight, and there was another mess.&1t;/p>
On the list of arrests, there are six people, namely the so-called "Six Gentlemen of Donglin" in later history books.&1t;/p>
These six people are the main force in the palace migration case.&1t;/p>
The first Emperor of Apocalypse to liquidate these people in history was because they took Emperor of Apocalypse to Wenhua Palace in the case of moving the palace.&1t;/p>
What is the case of the palace transfer case?&1t;/p>
In fact, it was Zhu Changluo, the Emperor Guangzong, who suddenly lost his mind, and Li Xuanshi lived in the Qianqing Palace at the same time. Li Xuanshi was the woman Zhu Changluo loved the most during his lifetime, and he clearly explained in front of a group of ministers that he wanted to be appointed as the imperial concubine, but the posthumous title of the two palaces had not yet been given, so it had to be postponed for a while.&1t;/p>
The emperor passed away. As the only concubine Zhu Changluo wanted to be granted during his lifetime, Li Xuanshi naturally wanted to be in charge of the world and take charge of the harem. This is also a common human nature.&1t;/p>
At this moment, the Donglin Party suddenly jumped out and said that Li Xuanshi would follow Wu Zetian's emulation of the law behind the curtain. Then he took the crown prince Zhu Youxiao to Wenhua Hall. If Li Xuanshi really threatened the emperor to order the ministers, how could he be snatched away by a group of ministers of the Donglin Party without any precaution?&1t;/p>
Moreover, the women of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all from innocent families who were powerless and powerless. Li Xuanshiyi had no support from his parents, and no civil servants in the court as a supporter. Isn’t this funny to be Wu Zetian?&1t;/p>
After Zhu Youxiao was taken hostage to Wenhua Palace in history, the Donglin Party began to instigate him to issue an order to expel Li Xuanshi from the Ganqing Palace and ascend the throne on the same day. However, Emperor Tianqi was still a little brained and was unwilling to ascend the throne on the same day, nor was he willing to issue an order to move Li Xuanshi to the palace. The Donglin Party also instigated Emperor Tianqi to expel Li Xuanshi in the name of Li Xuanshi's abuse of him and even killed his biological mother Wang Cairen.&1t;/p>
In a stalemate between the two sides, the Donglin Party asked Wang An to arrest several eunuchs beside Li Xuanshi, saying that they embezzled the national treasury. Li Xuanshi was naturally frightened. Then Wang An went to Ru Ganqing Palace to intimidate Li Xuanshi. Li Xuanshi was so scared that he walked into the cold palace on foot with the Eighth Princess that day.&1t;/p>
Li Xuanshi, who entered the cold palace, encountered another fire and was almost burned to death. Later, news came out of the palace that Li Xuanshi was about to jump into the well. The auxiliary Fang Congzhe could not bear it anymore. The bones of the late emperor were not cold. The Donglin Party forced the late emperor's beloved woman like this. As a minister, Fang Congzhe asked Jia Jichun to jump out to fight the Donglin Party. Because of the controversy, it was called the "case".&1t;/p>
The case of moving the palace was actually a coup carried out by the Donglin Party. The purpose was to control the new king. After all, the new king was only fourteen years old. As long as he kicked away the parent Li Xuanshi, it would be extremely simple to fool him.&1t;/p>
The Donglin Party has no military power, and the coup is just about playing with rules. As the saying goes, Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, which is the best portrayal of the Donglin Party.&1t;/p>
The scholar met a soldier and couldn't explain it clearly. Zhu Youxiao began to use violence.&1t;/p>
Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others who were sleeping were rudely kicked open the door by Jinyiwei and the East Factory spies and caught out of the bed.&1t;/p>
Not only were Yang Lian and the others arrested, Jinyiwei and the East Factory spies rushed to various places overnight to arrest Yang Lian and others' families.&1t;/p>
