Beijing, May 1, 1625

In the early morning, after the fifth o'clock in the street, the originally quiet city woke up from its sleep. There was movement on the street and then it began to become lively. The people in the city began to take to the streets and started their own leisurely or busy day.

As the imperial city, the people living in Beijing are actually very leisurely. Many people with a slightly wealthy wealth or merchants came to the teahouse in groups of three or three to chat with their familiar neighbors or friends, and soon filled the major teahouses in the capital. Although the drought in the north has become more and more serious in recent years and there are more and more refugees in the capital, this has not affected the lives of these people living under the imperial city.

However, at this time, there was no such leisurely atmosphere in the Wenyuan Pavilion in the imperial city. Several cabinet ministers sat in the hall and felt very excited when they looked at the few memorials sent below. Many bullshit things have been put together these days. First, a few days ago, the thief chief Nurhaci moved his capital to Chenyang and changed his name to Shengjing.

This matter is not a trivial matter. You should know that Chenyang is the most important town of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. Not to mention that it is occupied by the people, it is even designated as the capital by others. Such a shame is no less than being slapped in the face. However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty's national strength had long declined and could not beat others. He could only watch others occupy the nest and massacre the Han people.

Well, if this matter is nothing, then the incident of being born in Wu County, Nanzhili, that is, Suzhou, Jiangsu, which later generations, shocked the civil and military officials of the court.

The reason is this. Since Wei Zhongxian killed Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Yuan Huazhong, Zhou Chaorui, Gu Dazhang and other six Donglin Party who were right against him, his infamy has reached its peak, and his confidence has expanded unprecedentedly.

For ordinary people, the principle of killing people is to point out the head. It is the most disgusting TV series. After the performance is here, the bad guys should have a rest. But our Eunuch Wei is not a bad guy, he is a eunuch among the bad guys, so it doesn't exist in his dictionary when he gets along.

He gritted his teeth in hatred for the Donglin Party, and he made another list of seven people on this list, namely Gao Panlong, Li Yingsheng, Huang Zunsu, Zhou Zongjian, Liao Changqi, Zhou Qiyuan and Zhou Shunchang.

Logically speaking, these seven people are not high-ranking officials in the court, nor are they representative figures of the Donglin Party. They just scold Eunuch Wei a little bit, but Eunuch Wei holds a grudge. He killed the Donglin Party members so much that he was so excited that he would kill the seven people without doing anything, but he would just send these seven people together to the King of Hell.

But Eunuch Wei forgot one thing, that is, rabbits will kick people if they are anxious. Since Eunuch Wei kept raising the butcher's knife, the Donglin Party members have also become anxious. It would be fine if you kill a few of us, but now you still want to continue killing. Are you trying to kill all of them? Since that's the case, we are not polite.

When the Dongchang man sent by Eunuch Wei to Suzhou to capture Zhou Shunchang, something happened. Our Eunuch Wei relied on Emperor Tianqi for several years, but he forgot that Suzhou was the territory of the Donglin Party members, and the Donglin Party members were the most powerful here. What's worse is that the Dongchang leader named Wen Zhibingbing, who was also the one who sent him, was also the one who wanted money but was desperate. After he caught Zhou Shunchang, he thought he could make money by the way, but unfortunately, Zhou Shunchang's family was very poor and could not squeeze out any oil and water. After being angry, Wen Zhibing publicly threatened that if Zhou Bingchang did not pay the money, he would do Zhou Shunchang halfway.

You know, after he made such a publicity, many Donglin Party members in Suzhou really raised a sum of money to Wen Zhibing, asking him to let Zhou Shunchang go. Logically speaking, Wen Zhibing, who took the money, should be satisfied. Unfortunately, Wen Zhibing is a bastard among bastards. After getting the money, he actually increased the price temporarily. This nature is too excessive and too bad. The angry Donglin Party members held a huge strike on the next day, and within a day, the originally prosperous Suzhou market immediately became rare.

It would have been nice to see if the situation was wrong, and he looked down or ran away quickly. But Mr. Wen Zhibing thought he was used to being arrogant in Beijing, so he ordered the governor Mao Yilu to order Suzhou to stop the market, which completely angered the people of Suzhou. Therefore, more than 100,000 people surrounded the county government where Wen Zhibing was located under the leadership of the Donglin Party.

Wen Zhibing was so stupid that he was no longer stupid. He extorted, collected money and did not do anything, bullied the people. Seeing that more than 100,000 people surrounded the county government, he actually threatened to arrest people. So the more than 100,000 people rioted completely. They rushed into the county government under the leadership of the Donglin Party. It was not until this time that Wen Zhibing felt scared. Unfortunately, it was too late. He was surrounded by more than 100,000 people and was beaten to death in the chaos. Several of the dozens of Dongchang men he brought were beaten to death in the chaos, and the rest were beaten to the point of taking care of themselves.

Now the matter is getting worse. Dongchang arrests people. Not only are they not caught, but they are beaten to death. This is probably the first time in Eunuch Wei's career as a eunuch, and it is also the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years.

Afterwards, the capital was shocked and the cabinet was shocked. Even Zhu Youxiao knew that the matter was too big and Wei Zhongxian could no longer hold on. However, Wei Zhongxian also made a little clever trick. He turned the blame to Gu Bingqian and reported to Zhu Youxiao that he did not want to arrest anyone, but later he heard Gu Bingqian's bad idea and made a big mistake.

After hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Zhu Youxiao rarely summoned Gu Bingqian into the palace and scolded him, and ordered him to settle the matter immediately. Gu Bingqian felt aggrieved. It was obviously a mess that Wei Zhongxian had caused, so why did I ask me to wipe his butt? But the emperor of the world was the biggest these days. Since Zhu Youxiao's words were wronged, he could only execute them, so he summoned several cabinet members to discuss the matter.

At this time, the meeting was held in Wenyuan Pavilion, including the cabinet assistant Gu Bingqian, the Minister of Personnel Cui Jingrong, the Minister of Revenue Li Qiyuan, the Minister of Rites Lin Yaoyu, and the Minister of War Zhao Yan.

"My dear ministers!" Gu Bingqian said with a calm face: "Your Majesty has already known about the matter in Wu County. Just now, Your Majesty ordered us to handle this matter well. I wonder what good ideas do you have?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Cui Jingrong, the Minister of Personnel, said without even raising his eyes, "Gei, this matter is handled by nine thousand years old. We don't know at all, so why did we wait to deal with it? This is not reasonable."

"That's right, it's not right!" After Cui Jingrong finished speaking, several people around him also agreed.

"you……"

Gu Bingqian was stunned for a moment, and Cui Jingrong and others were clearly saying that we would not take the blame.
Chapter completed!
