Chapter 47 Someone from the Donglin Party sneaked into the palace
I saw Wang An touching Emperor Taichang with his hand.
"Get your dirty hands away!"
Seeing Wang An touching Emperor Taichang, Li Xuan screamed angrily.
"Wang An, you have overstepped your bounds. The dragon body cannot be touched."
According to the rules, this is correct, but Wang An had already become swollen, and when he saw Emperor Taichang sleeping, he directly turned down his face towards Li Xuanshi.
He said in an extremely cold tone: "What? Don't you like the choice of a maid? Your Majesty is like this now, is it okay to choose a maid?"
Seeing Li Xuanshi, a usually cold and beautiful woman, her face turned red with anger, her breathing was rising and falling violently, as if she was about to lose her breath.
He continued to add fuel to the fire: "If I hadn't been explaining to the ministers outside, the whole world would have thought that you and the prince were having some affair! So you must thank me~"
"Thank you!?"
Listening to the tone of Li Xuanshi's reply, which was close to anger, Wang An felt even more happy.
The angrier you are, the easier it is to make a fool of yourself, and we can make a big fuss out of it~
"Wang An, get out!"
"Excuse me for not being able to obey orders. Taking care of Your Majesty, assisting Your Majesty, and communicating with all ministers are the responsibilities of my Chief of Ceremonies, and it is not the duty of the Empress that I will not do it unless I am asked to do it."
"When did I tell you not to do it?"
"The queen just asked the slave to go out, but she couldn't let the slave do her job."
"You domestic slave!"
"Your Majesty, please be careful, you are still a servant, not a queen."
"Today is August 30th, and I have been ordered to become a noble concubine on the 30th."
Li Xuanshi is now Concubine Li, but Wang An has no intention of recognizing her.
He has written the provocation clearly on his face. With the support of Dong Lin and other court ministers, the support of Jin Yiwei's top leaders, Cheng Guogong and other Wu Xun and Jing Ying ready to support him, he has no fear of Li Xuanshi.<
/p>
He finally looked at Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo. After confirming that he was as angry as a gossamer, he stood in the Qianqing Palace with his chin held high and would not leave.
Li Xuanshi was furious, but a sudden thought came to his mind: As the prince had expected, this guy had harbored evil intentions for a long time.
She calmed down her anger a little. Although the anger just now was asked by the prince to act out, 90% of it was really angry.
His Majesty was unconscious, and Wang An openly changed his face. If the prince hadn't taken action, I'm afraid she would have had no choice but to follow Concubine Zheng on the pirate ship.
"It's okay, it's okay~ Even for the sake of my daughter's happiness and stability in the future, I have to perform this drama well now and not let the traitors like Wang An get any benefits!"
She gritted her teeth and called Liu Chao beside her to scold Wang An.
Wei Chao appeared next to Wang An, and the two of them started quarreling with each other, neither of them convinced of the other.
Since Emperor Taichang was still alive and in great need of rest, Shi Xuan ordered the Han general to ask them to go out and not to make any noise in the main hall.
Wang An waved to call the Jin Yiwei and another group of Han generals, and the two sides started pushing and shoving. They were about the same strength in their respective palaces, and they were temporarily arguing inside and outside the gate of Qianqing Palace.
This situation seems absurd, but everyone knows that if the emperor dies of illness, there will definitely be a big reshuffle in the future.
On the one hand, there are the advantages of being the one who loves the most beloved Fa Li and Emperor Taichang. Of course, those who are neutral in the palace tend to be moral and responsible.
On the other side is the eunuch Si Li who has the support of civil servants. Although Wang An has been keeping an eye on Liu Shimin for the past month, he has also recruited his confidants inside and outside the Si Li Jian. Therefore, he is more powerful here. It is also more attractive to speculators.
There is a stalemate on the Qianqing Palace side.
At Fengtian Palace and Huangji Gate, Luo Sigong and Hui Shiyang changed the number of people on duty, and arranged for people he trusts to take turns in the next two days.
As soon as Taichang dies, he will immediately let soldiers and horses take control of the capital and issue an edict to complete the transition.
Hui Shiyang looked outside the Meridian Gate in the south, feeling as if he had the world in his palm.
"Dominate the world with righteousness and words, step on those old ministers, and let the Ming Dynasty enter a situation where everyone is upright and prosperous. Such a Ming Dynasty will definitely rise!"
He also immediately sent Jin Yiwei and his confidants out of the Meridian Gate to deliver the message.
"Yang Lian, Wang Wenyan, you should hurry up and get ready~"
……
The imperial court is still worried about impeachment.
Yang Lian's memorial to impeach Huang Jiashan, Minister of War, attracted the attention of the absolute majority of people.
Most of the court officials supported Yang Lian's impeachment, and even Zhang Wenda, the imperial censor of the left capital, acquiesced in the eight deadly sins of Huang Jiashan's impeachment. The pressure came to Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet.
He felt that this memorial was not consistent with the facts, but he had to sigh that this was the first time he had seen someone so fierce after being the chief minister for seven years.
His Majesty had just personally told him not to believe the rumors, but he continued to fire. The eight deadly sins for impeaching Huang Jiashan were also mixed with rumors that were not consistent with the facts.
The first major sin: the disastrous defeat of Salhu.
During the Saarhu period, the imperial court urgently ordered Huang Jiashan to be appointed Minister of the Ministry of War. He supported the seventy-year-old sick body to take up the post generously and went to Beijing to discuss military matters.
Wanli, Yang Hao and others advocated immediate suppression, but Huang Jiashan, based on the experience of the three northwest sides, suggested that the main approach be blockade, and the suppressed troops should be pushed forward little by little, and not be easily suppressed.
At that time, it was more radical and cost-effective, and the one-time solution prevailed. As a result, Saarhu lost the elites of Ji Liao and Sichuan troops.
The biggest crime lies with Yang Gao, the main militant group who was so excited and eager for a decisive battle, and even Congzhe, and even Emperor Wanli.
The following accusations, such as the use of Li Chengliang's third son, Li Ruzhen, a senior official of Jinyiwei, to go to Liaodong were also intended to stabilize the people's hearts before Xiong Tingbi arrived.
This is also unanimously agreed by the court.
Yang Lian listed these as major crimes and took the lead in attacking the veterans of the Wanli Dynasty...
"The drunkard doesn't care about wine!"
Fang Congzhe could see that Yang Lian wanted to provoke a big discussion about the responsibility of Sarhu and liquidate a group of people from the Wanli period, and promote a group of people who opposed Wanli back. Naturally, the first to bear the brunt were the Donglin Party members.
Huang Jiashan was suddenly attacked, and maybe a group of critics would come to impeach him as the chief minister.
"Okay, let's take advantage of His Majesty's illness to carry out a big reshuffle... This matter is not something you can do whatever you want. In the end, His Majesty or the Crown Prince will have the final say."
He temporarily suppressed Yang Lian's memorial, thinking that even if his second assistant Liu Yijing broke up with him, he would still suppress it until September 1st, when the prince took charge of the country.
After calculating that there was still one day left, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Wait a minute!
It seems like I overlooked something!
Fang Congzhe picked up the memorial again and looked at it. The following charges in the impeachment of Huang Jiashan were obviously targeted at Huang Jiashan personally.
But when he looked at the eighth deadly sin, his pupils shrank in shock.
"It is said that Huang Jiashan's occupying the position of Minister of War will bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty, just like Qin Hui and others. If nothing happens, he will be the same disaster as Shi Xing was. If serious, he will be the disaster of Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and Sima Yi!
At first glance, I thought it was the launch of the previous chapter, but when I think about it based on the current situation...
This is a clear struggle for military power.
Note: In history, Hui Shiyang sneaked into the palace and contacted Wang An. He later joined the "Five Tiger Generals of Donglin" and was nicknamed Tianmengxing Thunderbolt among the 108 generals of Donglin. In the 16th year of Chongzhen, he surrendered to Li Zicheng and became the general.
You Pingzhang, who was in the Shun regime, was second only to Zuo Pingzhang and Niu Jinxing.
