Chapter 61 Black Prison (2)

"In the 300th year of the Ming Dynasty, the first person to be loyal, fierce and strong." - The editor of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty "History of Ming Dynasty" commented on Wei Dazhong.

............

The Censorate, the crowd was noisy and the crowd was full of noise.

Husiao said to the director Wei Dazhong:

"After the black flag is plotting a rebellion! Now Wei Dacang rebuilds the black flag, which is a rebellion! As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, we are loyal to the emperor and serve the country, so at this time, those who are willing to go with Dahong will follow me into the palace!"

Gu Dazhang, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, responded loudly: "The eunuch party is against the current, and the whole country is not tolerant. I am willing to follow the Great Hong to go to the national crisis. If you don't get rid of the big crotch, it will be difficult for heaven to tolerate it!"

Zhou Chaorui, the official department manager, saw that people were able to do it, and shouted excitedly: "Dongchang, eagle erecting eagles and dogs, and now building a black flag is to plan for me! You are all the people of the right guild. When things are about to come, do you still have to wait for death? Now that Dahong is willing to lead us into the palace, how can you not follow us!" He rushed out of the door first, shouting, "Swear to kill eagles and protect me from the Ming Dynasty!"

"Swear to kill the eunuchs and protect me from the Ming Dynasty!"

"Swear to kill the eunuchs and protect me from the Ming Dynasty!"

After the three of them were mobilized, dozens of Donglin Censors responded in unison and rushed towards the gate, fearing that they would fall behind. Such a situation scared those censors who were not from Donglin and dared not show up in their houses. Even the censors who had connections with the eunuchs did not dare to come out. In this case, it is the right way to protect themselves.

…………

Dahong was Yang Lian, the left deputy chief censor of the Censorate. Dahong was named Wenrunai, and the name was Wenrunai. At that time, people were called the first person in Donglin!

He became a Jinshi in the 35th year of Wanli. He served as the magistrate of Changshu County and was the chief minister of the household department. Later, he served as the right minister of the military department. In the second year of Tianqi, he was appointed as the chief minister of the ritual department. Soon after, he was promoted to Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. In the third year of Tianqi, he was promoted to the left assistant censor. Three months ago, he was promoted to the left deputy censor. In just three years, he jumped from the sixth rank to the second rank senior official. Yang Lian relied on the palace and made great contributions!

Those who move the palace are not ashamed of.

In July of the 48th year of Wanli, Wanli was critically ill. Yang Lian went to the Eastern Palace overnight and conspired with the prince's confidant eunuch Wang An and Wang An's disciple Wang Wenyan, saying that Wanli would die. If the prince did not enter the palace, there would be a change. Wang An did not dare to agree, but Wang Wenyan urged him to lead the prince into the palace. Wang An then led the prince to forcibly break into the palace late at night. The next day, Wanli died of illness, and the prince ascended the throne, and the reign title was "Taichang".

At that time, Yang Lian was only a military officer, and only a sixth rank; Wang Wenyan, a eunuch Wang Anmen, was a jailer, a man from the world, and a person from Song Jiang. However, these two men urged the prince not to receive a notice from the inner court, and encouraged the prince to enter the palace without authorization before Wanli died, which was a trick of speculation. It should be noted that it was natural for the late emperor to die and the crown prince to ascend the throne, so why should he take the risk to enter the palace without authorization? This matter and "snatching the door" were withdrawn, which was to take advantage of the late emperor's serious illness and unconsciousness, and to obtain the "merit of supporting him" and the minor ministers did it well.

After Taichang ascended the throne, he gave Yang Lian a good reputation for reporting the letter in advance. One month later, before Emperor Taichang was critically ill, he made an exception to include Yang Lian as the minister of his life, and met him in person for a long time. His glory was extraordinary. After Taichang's death, Yang Lian was afraid that the new emperor would ascend the throne, and the power of the Donglin party fell, so he fabricated a name and threatened that Li Xuanshi held the prince hostage and slandered him for wanting to learn from the Wu family. The heroine came to the court and spread rumors to force Li Xuanshi to hand over the prince to the Donglin party. Li Xuanshi refused to obey, so Yang Lian personally led dozens of deceived officials to go straight to the palace. With the cooperation of eunuch Wang An

, forcibly robbed the prince Zhu Youxiao, and the prince was frightened and cried bitterly. When the inner court heard the news, he sent people to blame the foreign court for being too lie to others. The officials were in the wrong, but Yang Lian concealed the prince and deceived the prince for the sake of the prince. The prince did not know his plan and then scolded the prisoners. The prisoners were captured by the prince's power and had no choice but to retreat. The officials immediately supported the prince to ascend the throne in the Qianqing Palace, and Li Xuanshi was also driven away from the Qianqing Palace. From then on, all the parties in Donglin entered the court, and the world was also in conflict with the Ming Dynasty. Yang Lian's name, "Yang Dahuzi", was famous all over the world and was shocked by the small officials.

.............

After receiving the report of the black flag of Dongchang, Yang Lian was furious and urgently sent someone to summon his confidant to the Censorate to discuss secretly. Without a few words, he took the lead in attacking, asking everyone to follow him to meet the emperor and ask for the eunuchs to be killed!

Wei Dazhong, Gu Dazhang, Zhou Chaorui and others were all involved in the backbone of Donglin. They rushed forward when encountering trouble and were never willing to let others down. Therefore, they were very famous. They had long been clamoring to get rid of the inner court and clear their eyes and ears. After listening to Yang Lian's proposal, the three of them naturally joined forces and clamored everyone. Under the mobilization of the three, the censors all couldn't suppress their passion and wanted to follow Yang Lian to do the work of a loyal minister in the Ming Dynasty to be famous!

Yang Lian was also full of confidence. The current emperor was supported by him and favored him very much. Now he raised his arms and shouted, and all officials would definitely respond. How could Wei Zhongxian resist?

Unexpectedly, when everyone rushed to the gate of the Censorate, a man rushed over and stopped Yang Lian, shouting: "Wei Dacanger is not the former Wu Xia Ameng, how could Wenru underestimate the enemy so much? Before the matter was clear, how could he act so hasty? If the black flag enters the capital, wouldn't you be bored by yourself? First, you can't use this to apart from the eunuch, second, you can't make the emperor know that we are loyal, third, you can't shock all officials, what are you doing?"

The speaker was the chief censor Gao Panlong. He was steady. Seeing that Yang Lian was going to act like this, he couldn't help but be anxious. He knew that this would be criticized by everyone, but he made up his mind to stop Yang Lian no matter what, and he must not let him act like this impulsively. Now that Ge Lao Ye has gone to the East Factory, he has to wait for him to come back to determine what Wei Zhongxian was trying to rebuild the black flag. If the reconstruction of the black flag was from the intention of the holy, why should Wei Dacang beg for rebellion?

Those who catch wind and shadows, open their mouths and get imprisoned, Wang Ji, the former Minister of Justice, is a lesson from the past!

Sure enough, as soon as the words were finished, someone shouted dissatisfiedly: "How can my teacher improve others' ambition and destroy my majesty! Wei Zhongxian's plan to rebel, and the black flag is ironclad. If it is really the emperor's intention, why wouldn't he know that he would call out? From this, it can be seen that the black flag must have been transferred to Beijing by Wei Dacang with the emperor on his back. He didn't want to use the Dongchang to catch us all in one place! Since this is the case, what else should we wait? Should my teacher watch our Donglin be harmed by the eunuchs?" The person who spoke was Wei Dazhong, a student who was Gao Panlong. In this hurry, he didn't care about his teacher's face and spoke sharply, without any permission.

Zhou Chaorui waved his fist and shouted to everyone: "Mr. Wang has been sent to the imperial prison. Lord Zuo was harmed by Ruan Dacheng. If we don't move, the disaster will not be far away! Don't retreat and follow Dahong to the palace!"

"Nothing!"
