163 Weak and Crazy
In the west of the water, Zhijin Nawei official village, Xuanwei envoy's yamen and above the lobby.
The eunuch Liu Ruoyu, the military supervisor, sat high on the main seat, his face full of frost. Ma Qiancheng and Ma Xianglin and his son led their generals and a group of chieftains to each side, with their eyes showing fierce light.
When the hereditary Guizhou Xuanwei envoy was dragged in by a group of men, he was stunned.
He really didn't expect that the Governor Wang Sanshan, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, was defeated by the Governor Cai Fu, and finally he was captured by a military eunuch!
Who is this military eunuch?
Liu Ruoyu glanced at him coldly, then picked up the gavel and slapped it, and said sternly: "Among Yi, you are so brave, you dare to lead the crowd to rebel!"
An Wei was so scared that his whole body trembled, and he shook his head and shouted injustice: "Sir, it's unfair, I didn't lead the crowd to rebel. It's Shedu Hui and An Bangyan who are leading the crowd to rebel. It has nothing to do with me!"
Liu Ruoyu snorted coldly: "You are the Guizhou Xuanwei Envoy. If you don't nod, can they rebel?"
An Yi quickly explained: "Sir, you don't know anything. I've been taken into custody by them and I can't control it at all. All of this was done by She Du Hui and An Bangyan!"
Liu Ruoyu pretended to be confused and said, "Really?"
An Yi nodded repeatedly and said, "It's true. My family has received the emperor's kindness. How could it be that she rebelled? She Du Hui and An Bangyan and his son bullied me at a young age and seized power and rebelled!"
When Liu Ruoyu heard this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Come here, go and chop She Du Hui for the family!"
Soon, a monk came to report with She Du Hui's head.
An Tai was so scared that he was in a cold war.
This She Du Hui, who had been so powerful that he couldn't raise his head, was actually slaughtered!
Liu Ruoyu waved his hand slightly and asked, "Add to the throne, are you willing to lead the people to surrender to the court?"
I didn't want to rebel!
An Yi nodded repeatedly and said, "I do, I do."
Liu Ruoyuyou asked: "Is the hereditary Xuanwei envoy of your family still there?"
An Wei shook his head repeatedly and said, "I am gone, I have been taken away by An Bangyan."
Liu Ruoyu pondered for a moment, then said in a timid manner: "The family can report to the court and give you a new seal. At that time, you will have to order the various villages and chieftains in Shuixi to be honestly waiting for Lord Ma Qiancheng and Ma to not rebel with An Bangyan."
An Wei nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, sir, I will order everyone to submit to the court."
Liu Ruoyu immediately snorted coldly: "Court? You see, the court is beyond your reach, and you can't care about you, right?"
An Yi quickly changed his words and said, "Oh, I was wrong. I must let them all listen to Lord Ma."
It should be almost the same now, right?
Liu Ruoyu glanced at Ma Qiancheng. Seeing that Ma Qiancheng had no reaction, he waved his hand to order his seat to retreat, then got up and went back to write the memorial.
Not only did he report the matter of An Bangyan robbing An's throne, Xuanwei envoy awarding seals, but he also reported Ma Qiancheng to defeat more than ten armies of She Chongming, killed more than 70,000 enemies, captured more than 20,000 prisoners and took Shuixi.
At the same time, he also suggested that the court urge the governor of the five provinces Min Mengde to send troops quickly, take advantage of the opportunity to recover Guiyang Prefecture and quell the southwest rebellion in one fell swoop.
Wei Zhongxian was ecstatic when he received the memorial.
Now that the military achievements in the southwest are enough for his nephew and nephew to be promoted to another level. Ma Qiancheng is OK!
Of course, Ma Qiancheng should not want to be promoted to the title. These contributions are all from his nephews and nephews.
He didn't have time to care about the recovery of Guiyang Prefecture, because he was plotting to deal with the imperial teacher Sun Chengzong at this moment.
Last time, Sun Chengzong led his army to Tongzhou, but he was shocked.
This person is too dangerous and must be removed!
However, it is not that easy for them to get rid of the cabinet, Ji Liao commander, or the imperial commander. It is necessary to fabricate a lot of crimes.
At the beginning, he still used the old routine, and asked his subordinates to keep writing letters to slander Sun Chengzong.
What did Sun Chengzong say that he lied to report the number of border troops, misappropriated food and wages, adopted fortress promotion tactics, wasted the people and suffered money, lied to report military merits, and nepotism, etc.
Of course, these things that make mistakes are not very lethal. It is impossible to let Tianqi cut off his mentor.
But at this time, something happened in Liaodong again.
Ma Shilong, the subordinate general of Sun Chengzong, was eager to make contributions, and misunderstood the words of surrendered general Liu Bowen, and sent guerrilla Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian to attack Yaozhou. As a result, guerrilla Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian were trapped and died, and lost more than 400 people.
This is amazing. The eunuchs in the court immediately attacked him and crazily impeached Sun Chengzong, saying that Sun Chengzong was a sinner for the ages.
In fact, this matter is no big deal. War is a deception and full of strategies. Come and go, and win and lose each other.
Besides, Sun Chengzong trained more than 100,000 elite troops, recovered more than 400 miles of lost land, and made great achievements.
This time, the attack on Yaozhou failed. It was just that Ma Shilong had a trap and lost a little of his troops, but he did not lose an inch of land.
Such a small thing was as serious as the eunuch party’s words.
When Wang Huazhen underestimated the enemy and made a rash move, lost the important city of Guangning, and lost 40,000 to 50,000 to the Ming army, it became a trivial matter that they said.
The eunuch party’s double standards are really fun.
The problem, Tianqi actually believed it, thinking that Sun Chengzong was really not suitable to supervise Ji Liao!
As a result, Sun Chengzong had no choice but to resign.
Tianqi did not make things difficult for his mentor. He not only gave Sun Chengzong to the Guanglu doctor, but also gave him python clothes, silver coins and other wealth, allowing him to go home to retire.
As soon as Sun Chengzong left, Wei Zhongxian lost his scruples. Soon, he ordered his subordinates to compile something like "Donglin Dianjianglu" and "Tianjianlu", etc., and counted Qingliu and Donglin, and prepared to wield the butcher knife and cut the roots.
As for the crime, it is very simple, just find one.
Soon, Zhejiang Tax Supervisor Li Shi reported that the Donglin Party was rampant in the village, corrupt and abused the law, and caused civil rebellion!
In fact, the civil unrest was caused by Li Shi himself because he was too greedy.
He was responsible for supervising the collection of taxes for the weaver households in Jiangnan. According to the court's standards, it was 20 taxes, which means that each loom collected one-twentieth of taxes per month, which was about fifty cents, or about five cents.
This tax can still be afforded by the weaver, because a loom can weave about three or four pieces of cloth per month, and it will be sold at a market price for a little more than one or two taels. If the labor is eliminated, the gross profit of a month will be about three or four hundred cents.
However, after taking office, Li Shi privately mentioned the tax to five cents of silver per month for each loom, which is 500 cents of money!
This is actually not too much, because the local governments under the tax supervision are basically the rule to make money. The tax revenue is 100% and the court pays 10%!
Now, according to the taxes of the court, each loom must pay 50 cents per month, so he naturally has to increase the taxes to 500 cents, otherwise, how could he be greedy for 90%!
The problem is that he did this, and the weaver can't live. He survived tiringly in a month. Not only did he not make a penny, but he also had to pay three or four hundred cents for each loom. Who can bear it?
So, the weaver in Jiangnan was filled with anger and surrounded the tax supervisory office and beat Li Shi and his subordinates hard.
This matter has nothing to do with the Donglin Party, but if Wei Zhongxian changes slightly, he becomes the Donglin Party’s corruption and abuse of power, causing civil changes!
What are the most feared by being an emperor?
I'm just afraid of civil change!
Tianqi was a little annoyed by his fooling around, and immediately issued an order to arrest all the Donglin Party members who were corrupt and abused the law and aroused civil unrest.
Wei Zhongxian made a little move and it turned out that the emperor issued an order to arrest all the Donglin Party members!
As a result, the court and the country suddenly started a bloody storm. Not only did the Donglin Party members but also the Qingliu suffered. Almost all of them were arrested by Wei Zhongxian and were tortured to death.
When it comes to party struggles, the Donglin Party is really weak and crazy.
Wei Zhongxian just used some tricks and went crazy for a few random moves, and they were almost wiped out!
