But precisely because it is not a reverse case, there is more room for operation.
I don’t know how many people are worried, fearing that the case will expand and affect them.
—At that time, the door of Lin Mansion was once again crowded with people.
The people who came this time were almost from both the government and the public, whether it was the New Party, the Eunuch Party or the sleeping Donglin. They came for different purposes. Some wanted to escape guilt, some wanted to please, some wanted to intervene in the case, and some even wanted to lead the case. Regardless.
For some reason, Lin Qingzheng suddenly became the focus of both the government and the public, with countless eyes staring at him.
Late at night, the three fathers and sons of the Lin family sat in the pavilion, drinking tea and talking about the government and the public.
Lin Zhong looked at Father Lin and said, "Dad, what are you going to do?" Lin Zhong was very worried. Wei Zhongxian's power was already very powerful. In addition, the eunuchs were now in danger. If Father Lin is not good, he will
If it falls into the hands of others, it will be attacked by the masses.
Lin Qingzheng looked at it as usual and said, "What did you say?" Lin Zhong was shocked and hurriedly replied: "I thought we should arrest the Wei family first, then interrogate Ke in detail, obtain a confession, and then ask the emperor for instructions."
This is the safest way. It will not make the eunuchs fearful and move to Lin Qingzheng if it is done too hastily, but it will also give an explanation to the new emperor.
Lin Qingzheng turned to Lin Jing and said, "What do you think?" Lin Jing did not expect that Zhu Youjian would do such a good job. He said thoughtfully: "Brother is right, but it is not enough. Dad must do more for the emperor."
Only when he is prepared will he be satisfied."
"More" Lin Qingzheng paid attention to Lin Jing. Lin Jing nodded and said: "The new emperor has completely rejected the eunuch. At this time, anyone who speaks well to the eunuch, or even delays or withdraws the case, will be hated by the new emperor. This time
When doing so, the position must be clear."
Lin Qingzheng was silent for a moment, "What do you mean you said more?" There were no outsiders here, Lin Jing said directly, "Point out the eunuch's network to the emperor, not write a playbook, in front of the emperor, not only those who dance happily
People, there are also deeper networks, such as internal supervision, such as those distinguished ministers, such as government and opposition officials, there are more playbooks than mine, much more." Lin Qingzheng listened, thought for a moment, and suddenly looked up at Lin Jing
, said: "Are you ready?"
Lin Jing, I didn't expect Father Lin to react so quickly. With a cough, Lin Jing said: "I did some research before." Lin Qingzheng looked at him deeply and said: "Give me a copy and I will memorize it."
Come down and see the emperor tomorrow."
"Okay." Lin Jing said nothing and said, "Dad, we must be careful about what we say, what we don't say, and how we say it."
"You still have to teach dad these things." Lin Chong rolled his eyes after listening to Lin Jing's ramble.
Lin Qingzheng ignored him, looked at Lin Jing and said, "Do you think the emperor wants to uproot the eunuchs?"
The eunuchs are deeply entangled and spread all over the Ming Dynasty. The emperor really wants to eradicate the eunuchs completely. The entire Ming Dynasty will shake three times, and the impact will be immeasurable.
Lin Jing thought for a while and said: "It's not whether the emperor wants it or not, but the revenge of the courtiers and Donglin."
Regarding the eunuch party's treatment, one was Zhu Youjian's anger, and the other was the Donglin party's second guess. Once Wei Zhongxian fell, Qingliu would definitely fight back with all his strength. In the turbulent situation, Zhu Youjian couldn't stop it even if he wanted to, let alone him.
I don't want to stop it at all.
In front of Lin Qingzheng, there seems to be a struggle for national capital. It also seems to have seen the former Donglin Party, frowning deeply, with a trace of worry on its face.
If the government keeps fighting like this, where will the Ming Dynasty come from? Early the next morning, Lin Qingzheng first went to the Supervisory Yuan to report on his work, and then went to the Qianshou Palace.
Zhu Youjian first smiled and encouraged him, and then asked him what he thought of the Wei Zhongxian case.
Lin Qingzheng first talked about some of Wei Zhongxian's crimes, and then started to talk about forming cliques for personal gain.
Before Lin Qingzheng could say more, Zhu Youjian's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Wait a minute, there are so many people in the eunuch party." Lin Qingzheng was interrupted and paused for a while before saying: "If you check carefully, there are even more many."
Zhu Youjian knew some people in the eunuch party very well. After listening to Lin Qingzheng's words, Zhu Youjian turned to Cao Huachun who was not far away and said: "You said." Zhang Cheng failed to do his job well, and the admiral of the East Factory was handed over to Cao Huachun.
Cao Huachun was an old man in the palace. He stepped forward and said: "Long live the Lord, the dead in the prison include officials of the third class and above. From the third year of Tianqi to the present, there are at least more than a hundred, and nine out of ten are unjust." .Tian Ergeng, as the commander of Jinyiwei, was the first to commit the crime.
Lin Zijian served as an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for three years. I don’t know how many students and old officials there are. The knowledge of the maid is even limited. He and I are friends. Cui Chengxiu forced Ji Zimin, Wei Haobo and other first assistants to resign, which shows its power. "
Ming Dynasty
Zhu Youjian always had the idea of punishing only the first evil. He believed that the eunuchs were those listed in Lin Jingshu. Who knew that there were so many branches and vines, like an airtight net, covering the entire Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Youjian is a man who aspires to become the Holy King of the Ming Dynasty. How can he tolerate this?
He looked ugly and stared at Cao Huachun. "Is the palace clean?"
Cao Huachun knelt down and said, "Long live the return. It's almost over."
After hearing almost three words, Zhu Youjian snorted coldly and said, "Give me a clean deal!"
Cao Huachun's expression changed and he quickly bent down. "This slave abides by the law."
Zhu Youjian said, then he looked at Lin Qingzheng, looked a little gentler, and said, "Lin Aiqing, how do you plan to investigate Wei Zhongxian's case?"
Lin Qingzheng said: "Back to Your Majesty, I plan to detain Wei Zhongxian's closest accomplices, Hou and Ke, for strict examination to find out the crimes of Wei Zhongxian and his affiliated accomplices over the years, and then make further plans."
Zhu Youjian was eager to eradicate Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs in one fell swoop, but he knew that this was impossible.
"I will let the Jin Yiwei cooperate with you and listen to your command." Zhu Youjian said.
In any case, we have finally taken a step. Maybe the people in Mingdi are reliable, Huang Yongnian and the like can do nothing but perfunctory!
"I abide by the law." Lin Qingzheng raised his hand.
Lin Qingzheng left the palace and directly mobilized the Jin Yiwei to quickly surround Duke Wei's mansion. At the same time, he distributed a list and asked the Jin Yiwei to arrest people based on the list.
However, within half a day, Wei Haicheng, Wei Fan and other children of the Wei family were all arrested. Ke Shengjia, Tuo Jiande and others did not escape. They were all arrested and put in prison.
In the minds of many people, it was only a matter of time before the Duke Wei's Mansion was raided, but such a rapid seizure and capture of the owner of the Duke Wei's Mansion still shocked both inside and outside Kyoto.
The Duke of Wei's Mansion is the core of the Eunuch Party. All members of the Eunuch Party are closely related to it. These people in the Duke of Wei's Mansion were arrested in prison, causing such a big disturbance in Kyoto.
