I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 179 The Donglin Party’s final struggle to eliminate Tianqi Chaogang!

Although I don’t know what happened, the emperor’s will is irreversible.

Therefore, with the mobilization of the palace people around them, the huge Apocalypse Dynasty also began to mobilize.

It was like an old machine that was suddenly doused with lubricating oil and began to slowly mobilize.

"Sir, your Majesty recently announced the entry of Huang Liji and Huo Weihua into the palace. Mr. Huo's residence is full of Jin Yiwei. At the same time, the servants discovered that there are many spies around the house, and they should also be Jin Yiwei..."

The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, who had already retired from the court and were conducting secret association activities at home, suddenly received the news and couldn't help but be stunned.

After hearing the steward's words, Qian Longxi, the owner of this place, couldn't help but frown.

"Your Majesty has announced that Huang Liji and Huo Weihua will enter the palace?"

Qian Longxi felt that something big had happened. Whether it was Huang or Huo, they were the leaders of the eunuch party: in fact, since Tianqi's big defeat in four years and the fierce pursuit not long ago, the Donglin party's defense line was in Shrinking step by step, there will soon be no room to stand.

For example, Qian Longxi is now forced to stay at home and wait for his recovery.

In addition to him, everyone present included Lai Zongdao, Yang Suoxiu and others.

Of course, the most important person is Mr. Zhao Nanxing... Although Mr. Zhao Nanxing himself is not present, his nephew Zhao Kangjian is participating as a representative.

As for why Mr. Zhao Nanxing didn't come... because as the leader of Donglin, he has been assigned to Daizhou. He is far away and cannot participate at all.

Suddenly, someone said angrily: "A few days ago, Mr. Gao couldn't bear the humiliation and was forced by the eunuchs to commit suicide in a well. How come I, the dignified Donglin, have fallen to this point?!"

Qian Longxi's eyes were burning, he looked around and said seriously: "Your Majesty suddenly summoned Huang and Huo to the palace, I'm afraid he has some ulterior motive... Besides, there are many more royal guards in Huo Weihua's house. Could it be that we are planning it?" Exposed?!"

"It should be impossible. That Huo Weihua is as stupid as a pig pig. Although he is one of the lackeys of the Wei eunuch, he is far less intelligent and hateful than Cui Chengxiu! The cook in his house has a blood feud with the eunuch, and she enters every day The 'Spiritual Dew Drink' I was given was mixed with a lot of things, and Huo Weihua couldn't tell it at all!" Yang Suo said.

"Where is His Highness King Xin? How is His Highness King Xin?"

Lai Zongdao suddenly asked, asking a crucial question.

King Xin is the hope of the Donglin Party. Although he looks silly, they just need this kind of silly puppet emperor to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous!
The emperor only needs to rule from the top down, and let the Donglin Party handle all matters.

After the emperor's death, this ignorant King Xin, who seemed to prefer the Donglin Party, was their best target for support!
They now place their hopes on His Highness King Xin as the second Wanli Emperor.

Although Emperor Wanli had everything from eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, he delegated power to our ministers, so he was a good emperor... But we still have to scold him in the history books, otherwise it will appear that we are not good ministers.

Just when everyone was about to think about whether there was any signal for His Majesty the Emperor to suddenly summon the eunuchs into the palace, a servant hurried over and whispered to one of the people present. The person was instantly stunned. Then he became restless.

His hurried performance naturally attracted everyone's attention. Seeing this, Qian Longxi couldn't help but frowned, and immediately said warmly: "Brother Zhao Xian, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Brother Qian, there is something wrong with King Xin."

Zhao Kangjian was sweating profusely, feeling a little panicked, and then said: "Just now my servant told me that a eunuch went to Prince Xin's Mansion, and Prince Xin is going to Guangdong to become a vassal!"

"what?"

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

First, it was because of the vassalage. Letting King Xin join the vassalship was really unexpected by the Donglin Party. Although Emperor Tianqi gave birth to three sons, all three sons died of illness. King Xin Zhu Youjian was the first heir to the throne. .

According to the ancestral system, there was no need for King Xin to become a vassal until the prince failed to thrive.

Secondly, it is because it controls Guangdong!
In the 260th year of the Ming Dynasty, only Renzong's son Zhu Zhanqing came to Shaoguan and was granted the title of King of Huai.

In addition, there is no example of vassaling Guangdong!

Although Guangdong is now considered a land of plenty and has a prosperous economy.

But in history, the land of Lingnan was known as the "Poisonous Miasma". It was a place of exile in ancient times and was full of horrific rumors. Therefore, it was sealed in Guangdong, which most likely meant that the person was not liked by the emperor.

As for the vassal Guangdong, this means that His Majesty the Emperor has been extremely disappointed in his brother!
How could this be? !

The eunuch ministers were summoned into the palace, including Huo Weihua.

Immediately afterwards, His Royal Highness King Xin, who they had placed great hope on, was forced to submit to the vassal state, and the place of vassalage was still far away in Guangdong.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor cares about the brotherhood of his compatriots, otherwise he would be in Yunnan, and I really don’t know what to say.

"What should I do? It seems that our plan has been exposed!"

A Beijing official who seemed to be only a sixth-rank official said in a panic: "This is a serious crime of confiscating the family and annihilating the clan! I have advised you several times not to do this, don't do this, but you insist on doing this and involve me in it. What should I do? !”

Copy the family and exterminate!

This news was hovering over everyone, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

In the past, their civil servant predecessors used quack medicine to harm the emperors of two dynasties, accidentally fell into the water, and accidentally killed Emperor Zhengde... What a scene!
Nowadays, they act cautiously and are devastated when exposed.

It’s really touching and sighing!
Qian Longxi's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he immediately slapped the table, causing the Eight Immortals Table to tremble. Then he stood up and said sternly: "Now that things have come to a point, we have only one way out!"

"Everyone, please escape from the capital today! Contact your colleagues in Guangdong to assist King Xin and launch a peace campaign!"

Qian Longxi shouted loudly: "Back then, Emperor Chengzu was able to launch Jingnan and seize Emperor Jianwen's empire. Now we might as well follow Emperor Chengzu's story and assist King Xin to seize Emperor Tianqi's empire!"

Hearing Qian Longxi's words, the whole audience was shocked for a moment!

Conspiracy...rebellion? !

This……

For a moment, everyone present was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Their jaws dropped by Qian Longxi's words!

Harsh people, really too harsh people.

"What are you afraid of?!"

Qian Longxi's eyes were sharp, he looked at the people around him, gritted his teeth immediately, and said angrily: "When this happened, it was a death. It was a matter of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. If we rebel now, even if we lose, we will lose." Conquer the family and exterminate the clan!"

"It's all death, can't we give it a try, show some color to Tian Qi'er, and cause some trouble to those eunuchs?!"

Qian Longxi's voice was deafening, causing everyone present to feel angry and blood rising.

Lai Zongdao was equally ruthless. He immediately slapped the table, stood up and said sternly: "There is no need to go to Guangdong! Although Guangdong is rich, the imperial court is still a imperial court. The Jingnan battle was able to win. On the one hand, Emperor Chengzu He has outstanding military exploits, and on the other hand, it is because the Northland has been on the frontier for a long time, and the soldiers are elite!"

"Using a corner of Guangdong to fight against the imperial court is a dead end! If you want to bet, bet big!" Lai Zongdao continued: "The man named Cui took over the capital barracks, but there were major omissions in the arrangement of the generals! Among the three major camps, , all have friends from our Donglin Party, and with just one order, we can have a coup tonight!"

"This……"

I thought Qian Longxi was already a master, but he didn't expect Zongdao to be a heavyweight!

It's a blast as soon as it comes out!
Hearing Lai Zongdao's words, even Qian Longxi's cerebellum shrank for a moment, and then his aura weakened, lowered his voice, and whispered to Lai Zongdao: "Brother Lai, what's going on? Our friends in the third camp, At most, 9000 people can be drawn out, and it is estimated that many people are unwilling to get involved. At most, there can be 4000 people... How can this be rebellious?"

Qian Longxi still has some brains.

After all, for him, these two options are actually very simple.

One is a sudden death and the other is a chronic death.

He chose slow death. He planned to go to Guangdong, take a powerful medicine, go to a small country in Southeast Asia, find a place to squat, and wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne and then come back.

Anyway, it has been several months since the poisoning, and Emperor Tianqi’s lifespan will definitely be short!

Lai Zongdao said enthusiastically: "If you succeed, you and I will join the cabinet and become the chief regent like Zhang Juzheng! If we fail, we can die calmly!"

"Back then, Emperor Yingzong was able to launch a rebellion with only 700 people. We have three or two thousand, why don't we dare?!"

Hearing Lai Zongdao's voice, Qian Longxi took a deep breath, then seemed to have made some determination, nodded, and said resolutely: "Okay, take action!"

After that, he shouted: "Qian Yi, send someone quickly to find..."

From Qian Longxi's mouth, the names of dozens of officers came out in succession, and the old housekeeper named "Qian Yi" immediately went to do it.

As the servants left one by one, Qian Longxi said: "The matter has come to this, you have no way out, unite the men in the family immediately and rush into the palace gate!"

"Remember, we must gather within a stick of incense! Now that the matter has been leaked, if someone in the three camps does not obey, then we will definitely encounter a blockage! Only by entering the palace first and killing Zhu Youxiao can we seize the opportunity. !”

Lai Zongdao shouted: "Brother Zhao Xian, you are taking people to intercept His Highness King Xin. We cannot let those eunuchs take King Xin out of the capital!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Kangjian was trembling nervously, but after hearing Lai Zongdao's words, he immediately nodded excitedly: He seemed to have seen himself becoming a hero from Conglong!
So, everyone started to take action.

The Ming Dynasty had extremely strict control over armor. Therefore, although the servant Wu Yangyang gathered 500 people, only four or five of them were wearing armor. Moreover, these armored people were obviously high-ranking officials in the dynasty and were more afraid of death. They wore a suit of armor but hid at the end. In front of him, he directed the unarmored servants to come forward.

The crowd of people marched toward the palace gate in a chaotic manner, taking advantage of the darkness and moving very quickly.

Whether it was Qian Longxi or Lai Zongdao, their little hearts were beating fast. They were a little excited and a little nervous. They were getting closer and closer to the city gate, but at this moment, suddenly, there were people around them. There was a commotion.

"Ok?"

Lai Zongdao was stunned and couldn't help but look around. In an instant, countless pairs of torches were lit from the left and right.

One by one, armored Ming soldiers unexpectedly appeared in front of them. Under the light of the fire, their stunned faces looked particularly frightened.

"what's the situation?!"

Qian Longxi was so frightened that he looked like he had seen a ghost.

Seeing this scene, it can be said that I was extremely frightened.

He remembered that there were clearly no soldiers there just now!
What's going on? Why do so many soldiers suddenly appear? !

Could it be...

Did you encounter a ghost? !
Later Zongdao was even more panicked.

Because he saw a flag flying 'brave'... It was the flag belonging to the [-]th Regiment Battalion.

However, the 29th Regiment Battalion was deposed as early as the [-]th year of Jiajing. Now in the Tianqi Year, how could the flag of the [-]th Regiment Battalion appear? !

This time I really saw a ghost!

"What are you guys doing?!"

Suddenly, there was a sound like thunder in their ears, and a bearded general came on horseback, holding a lance and pointing it at the four,500 people.

The surrounding soldiers looked unkindly and had already taken out their weapons and looked at these servants.

The calves of the leaders Qian Longxi and Lai Zongdao had already begun to tremble. Not long after, someone from behind suddenly screamed: "Spare your life, spare your life. It's all Qian Longxi and Lai Zongdao who are plotting against us. We are the same ones." You are being held hostage! I hope the general will notice clearly!"

Where there was the first person, there was naturally the second person. Soon, people fell to their knees in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Qian Longxi and Lai Zongdao also completely lost their will to resist, their legs became weak and they collapsed on the ground.

When the leader of the bearded general saw this, he stared at it with tiger eyes for a moment, and then said loudly: "Capture me, bring it to your Majesty, and let your Majesty decide!"

……

In the palace, looking at the several ministers kneeling on the ground, Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath, feeling that his head was a little confused, and his veins even wanted to bulge.

"I have supported you to a high position, what do you do for a living?! This can also allow Donglin Party members to infiltrate?! What is in that Spiritual Dew Drink, Huo Weihua, you are really as stupid as a pig!"

Emperor Tianqi swept his favorite drink to the ground. In an instant, the juice and the porcelain bowl burst and exploded everywhere.

"Wei Zhongxian, did the Royal Hospital find anything out?"

Zhu Youxiao turned his attention to Wei Zhongxian who was standing aside, and immediately asked in a cold voice: "If not, you, the eunuch with a pen, will be done!"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned when he heard this, and then said respectfully: "Replying to your majesty, they have been found out. In the past few days, people have been sending them silver coins. The person who sent the silver is from the Qian Mansion, and he is suspected to be the former Nanjing official. The meaning of the minister Qian Longxi."

"It is reported that Qian Longxi has been very close to Lai Zongdao and others recently. The Donglin Party members may..."

Just as Wei Zhongxian was reporting, a young eunuch suddenly stumbled in and bowed to Zhu Youxiao: "Sorry, Your Majesty, tens of thousands of troops suddenly appeared outside the Forbidden City out of thin air. Shouting to open the door, I'm afraid the rebels are coming in!"

Wei Zhongxian and all the members of the eunuch party were shocked.

Zhu Youxiao was stunned at first, then his face lit up and he opened his mouth and said: "Open the city gate quickly!"

"Follow me to greet Emperor Shizongsu and Emperor Wu Zongyi of the Ming Dynasty!"
