Chapter nine hundred and eighty sixth: peace and prosperity
After twenty years, the Donglin Party has never given up returning to the court.
But this time, they got into the wrong person.
After Zhang Lunzhi's incident, all the scholars across the country were in a state of sneering and snake shadows because they all knew that the storm was coming.
Sure enough, soon, an imperial edict was issued from the magnificent Forbidden City.
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the imperial edict said:
The Donglin party members planned to deceive the eldest princess Xianning. Fortunately, the eldest princess was extremely intelligent and knew Zhang Lun's face as a thief, so she would not lead to a big mistake.
However, I love him the most, and they are all the eldest princesses. They ordered the Dongchang and Jinyiwei to jointly organize the inspection.
He was appointed as the chief editor of the cabinet, Feng Quan, Minister of Works, and Fu Sance, Minister of Personnel, as the deputy general editor of the cabinet. He compiled the book "Records of the Rebellion of the Party of Donglin", and determined Donglin as the Rebellion of the Party of Donglin.
The emperor's decree is above, and the sun is bright.
My intention is that the king of the Ming Dynasty will never be allowed to hire Donglin officials again. If used, it will violate the ancestral system and will not be allowed to enter the ancestral temple or record the imperial family.
All the kings of my future generations must obey them. I respect this."
As soon as this imperial edict was issued, the nation's scholars were shocked.
Countless Donglin scholars began to secretly escape from the Donglin Party, not for anything else, but for the last sentence in the imperial edict.
Emperor Tianqi directly defeated the hope of the Donglin Party members to become officials in the future, which also shocked the national officialdom.
That sentence is no longer a simple "Emperor Ming Dynasty's teachings", the punishment is quite severe.
In the future, the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty, once they hire officials from Donglin again, they will lose the qualification to enter the ancestral temple, and even the Zhu family's imperial enthronement will be removed from the household registration.
If it is simply against the ancestral system, there may be some later kings who will not take it seriously, but the fools also know the difference between these two points.
This is already an indiscriminate removal of a certain political party. There are still many Donglin officials in the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, even if the people of the Donglin Party are working as a small clerk in the county government office, it will not work.
Officials were greatly changed. The Zhejiang Party, headed by Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the dynasty, and the imperial Party, headed by Feng Quan, Minister of Works and Li Yangzheng, both strive to promote officials of their own party.
The Donglin Party has too much influence. Until today, Zhu Youxiao made this last blow to them.
Of course, the impact on the whole country is also huge.
Zhu Youxiao had long known that the Donglin Party would not commit such an easy crime.
Soon, there were marches and demonstrations of scholars throughout the country, and public security began to deteriorate.
However, how can the current Ming Dynasty be shaken by the Donglin Party?
Even without Zhu Youxiao’s order, the Ming army had already begun to be mobilized from the military camp.
This time, Zhu Youxiao's will to completely eliminate the Donglin Party was very firm, so he didn't say so much, and directly used absolute force to suppress it.
Suzhou.
The Donglin scholar hid among the crowd, and he still used the old school methods to deceive and incite the people to drive them.
But the results were very little. Now even ordinary farmers know that Emperor Tianqi is the lord of sage for all ages and is unwilling to do such stupid things.
The people who went out to parade in Suzhou this time were probably the incompetent bandits who were on weekdays.
In today's peaceful and prosperous times, they did not have the qualifications to take the fields and work as farmers in the "Agricultural Code" issued by the Age of the Revelation Period, nor did they have any skills to accompany them.
The most important thing is that this group of people is used to being lazy. In the past, there was no one to care about burning, killing, looting, but now when it comes to a prosperous era, their thoughts still change and never come back.
I heard that some people are going to make trouble, and the happiest person is this kind of person.
Hundreds of people held signs on the streets, including "no way to serve the country", "no way to serve the country", and "no way to serve in their later years", with the intention of bewitching people's hearts, creating chaos, and forcing the court to compromise.
"We are waiting for the scholar Donglin, full of enthusiasm but have no way to serve the country!"
"Your Majesty believes in slander and is stupid in his later years, which makes our scholars feel heartbroken!"
These people wandered on the streets, and wherever they passed, there was a lively scene that was in chaos in an instant, and the people were afraid of avoiding it.
The large number of green-skinned gangsters who were hiding in the crowd were much more suppressed on weekdays, and they were all released at this moment and began to burn, kill and rob.
On the street, a man and a woman who went out to buy rice were blocked in the corner by three or five green skins.
The man was punched and kicked, and faced with three or five people, the woman screamed at the top of her lungs, but saw the chaos around her.
For a moment, they seemed to recall the era when bandits rose up and the world was in chaos thirty years ago.
This is exactly the purpose of the Donglin Party creating this chaos.
But things went against my wishes. In less than a cup of tea on the street, I heard a large number of footsteps coming from both sides of the street.
At the end of the street, a genital general with a black trunk helmet on his head.
I saw this new goose feather sword drawn out of the accompanying person, emitting a little cold light under the sunlight.
He raised the knife into the air and shouted expressionlessly: "I am the general of Suzhou, Deng Wu, the general stationed in the Beijing camp, who was incited by the rebellion of the Donglin thieves. Now he has dispersed, and Rao Er will not die!"
"Otherwise, kill everything!"
"The people hid behind me quickly, and the court will protect you for your best!"
The man and woman who were blocked into the corner were overjoyed. Taking advantage of the dazed moment of the young gangster, the man quickly pulled the woman up and ran towards the nearest official army.
Qingpi was stunned and roared: "Catch them back!"
Three or five green skins caught up with the front a few steps, but unexpectedly, some officers and soldiers had discovered the situation here and walked out of the formation.
I saw this ordinary Beijing soldier holding a gun in one hand and hit a green skin accurately with one shot from a distance.
He held the knife tightly with both hands, grabbed the woman's hand, protected her behind her, and stared at the green skin like an evil tiger.
The other few of them had broken their skin and no longer dared to step forward.
The woman and the man were finally escorted back to the government army safely, hugging each other and crying with joy.
Deng Wu did not pursue the soldier's crime of leaving without permission, and said as if he had seen nothing, he shouted at the crowd of people who didn't know what to do:
"Everyone is kneeling on the ground, otherwise, you will be killed without any hesitation!"
Seeing that the green skins were still in trouble, Deng Wu sneered, then went out in person and raised the Yanling sword in his hand.
"No one left!"
"kill!"
The officials on both sides formed a formation and exposed the tips of long spears, stabbing hundreds of green skins to death on the spot, whether they resisted or begged for mercy.
Afterwards, the Suzhou government counted the casualties and losses, and provided corresponding pensions to the people and merchants on the street.
......
The Forbidden City, the Six Eastern Palaces.
There was laughter and joy in the open space in front of a temple.
A seven-year-old child in a bright yellow dress placed a big red pomegranate on the stone table, attracting the covetousness of a group of young castrates.
The young eunuchs were respectful and did not dare to make any mistakes, because the person in front of him, called Zhu Ciye, was the prince with a strong root.
Zhu Ciye is the third prince born to Tong Jing'er, the Concubine Yu, and is the twelve sons of the emperor and the youngest son of Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Ciye stepped on the stone bench, pointed at Sixteen, and patrolled everyone proudly:
"We'll have a new one today and we'll lose the city. Have you heard of it?"
Seeing the little eunuchs shook their heads, Zhu Ciye cursed: "How can you do anything to your father in the future?"
"Then let me tell you, this is like throwing a pot..."
After listening to it, the young eunuchs realized that falling out of the city was actually a small game of throwing pots that the royal children in the palace often played during the Ming Dynasty, which was easy to learn.
"Do you understand? Tell you, those who lose the most will be rewarded!"
As he said that, Zhu Ciye pointed at the pomegranate beside him.
The pomegranate was bought from foreign merchants. The young eunuchs were all from poor families, so they had never seen this.
When I heard about it, I had fun.
The well grid was drawn soon, and the young eunuchs started to compete. Zhu Ciye didn't play with it, but just stood on the stone table and watched.
It seems that watching them play is happier than playing by themselves.
