Wanli 1592

Chapter 266 Wang Xijue Did Not Accept His Fate

Looking at such eyes, Wang Xijue knew one thing very well.

That is, if the emperor really made up his mind to break with the officials, as Emperor Xiao Ruxun's confidant, he would not be able to mobilize other troops, but for Xiao Ruxun's army, the emperor's order to the army is effective. Just to see if Xiao Ruxun has the courage to do this.

But it should not be said that the advantage of the civil servants is based on taming the generals. If the generals are disobedient and stand on the side of the emperor, then the civil servants will not be able to force the emperor so easily. The generals in the Hongwu period and the Yongle period After the nobles were destroyed, the power of civil servants gradually climbed to the peak, and military generals began to be suppressed, but if one day, these military generals also learn from the original civil servants...

If nothing else, if you take down all the civil servants who came out to meet the emperor, the entire imperial court will be paralyzed, dismissed one by one, or even beheaded. The fierceness of Emperor Taizu, then Chao Gang might really be reshaped, and the entire social order would be reshaped. Of course, Ming Dynasty would be chaotic for a while, and then countless people would die because of it, and some people would even rebel.

There are not as many hard bones as there are soft bones. The reason why there are more hard bones in the court today is because most of your soft bones are hard behind a few hard bones, but if those hard bones are eliminated, it is hard to say that those soft bones will It will not become the second batch of "strict party".

Back then, Emperor Jiajing used Yan Song to split the group of officials and achieved such a goal. Therefore, if Zhu Yijun was cruel enough, he could have achieved this.

Wang Xijue looked at the emperor and his servants who looked strange, and the fear in his heart can be imagined. He quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty! Please think twice, Your Majesty! Please think twice, Your Majesty! You can't do this! For court disputes, you can use It will be settled through negotiation! Once swords are used, not only will the martial arts regain power, but the Ming society will also be unstable! Your Majesty! Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Warfu seized power?"

Zhu Yijun seemed to have heard something very ridiculous, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! It's fine if you tell others to listen to this kind of thing, but if you want to tell me to listen to it, I won't be fooled so easily , what the martial artist took away is not my power, but those bastard powers! I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the ruler of this world! In the end, I don’t even have the power to establish a prince. This is simply a barren world! absurd!"

"Your Majesty! Everything can be negotiated! But you must not use weapons! Absolutely not!"

"At the beginning, Emperor Jing listened to your evil words that led to my current difficult situation! You civil servants don't want to serve the country! They don't want to be loyal to me, they only know how to fight for power! They only know how to seek personal gain! It makes it difficult for me to move an inch! The treasury is empty, and I always need you Ruling the country with money! For thousands of years, only my Ming family has been like this! It’s a joke through the ages! Where’s the money?! Where’s the tax?! Where did it all go?! You bastards! "

Zhu Yijun was furious, and with a wave of his hand, seven or eight robust servants surrounded him with fierce eyes, and captured the majestic chief minister of the cabinet. Regardless of Wang Xijue's repeated dissuasion and begging for mercy, he directly gagged Wang Xijue's mouth, and then carried Get up, according to Zhu Yijun's order, Wang Xijue was imprisoned in the palace where there was no one in the palace, and two strong servants were sent to watch over him. There was nothing the five or sixty-year-old man could do.

Then Zhu Yijun summoned six trusted eunuchs around him, and ordered their smartest servants to gather in the palace. After a while, twelve or three servants were assembled, all of whom were under the command of the big eunuchs with the strongest bodies and the most brains. Flexible and able to get things done.

Zhu Yijun walked around and began to choose the candidate he liked, but Wang Xijue did not accept his fate, and obediently waited to be his own boss. At this moment, the balance in his heart was still tilted towards the civil servants. He finally remembered I have broken my bottom line as a civil servant.

If that bloody era is allowed to come again, it will be tantamount to a disaster for scholars all over the world!The era of Taizu must never come again!
After figuring this out, Wang Xijue began to try every means to send news to the outside world. Zhu Yijun was still too young to know about body searches and kidnappings. It was probably the first time he did this, so he was inexperienced and left a huge loophole. He tore off his coat, reached into his underwear, and took out a wad of bank notes.

As an old Jianghu, it is a matter of course to carry silver with you when you enter the palace, and the amount should not be small, because you don't know what level of servants you will meet, and the small servants can do it with a few dozen taels , the young prison needs a few hundred taels to start, and 1000 taels is not out of the question. As for the highest-ranking eunuchs, those who are the chief eunuchs of the ceremonies and the East Factory, they are really embarrassed to hand out without 5000 taels of silver.

It's just that Emperor Wanli didn't like eunuchs to do politics very much, and he had a strong binding force on eunuchs, so in recent years, eunuchs have rarely accepted bribes, but it was only in recent years. During Zhang Juzheng's period, eunuchs should not be too arrogant.

Wang Xijue's skills were developed at that time, and he also knew very well that no matter how loyal the eunuchs are to the emperor, except for the emperor's personal eunuchs, they will not refuse to accept bribes, because that is almost their only income Source, as for the normal salary, those taels of silver are of no use!

With silver in his hand, Wang Xijue began to knock on the door.

"Two, two, open the door, I have something to say!"

The two servants looked at each other, but ignored Wang Xijue.

"You two, don't ignore me, old man, open the door, open the door, I have something to say! Really, very important words!"

The two still ignored him.

Wang Xijue continued to shout: "Open the door, open the door, I really have something important to say!"

One of the servants got impatient, and said angrily: "Mr. Wangge, we are on errands for the master. The master's words are heaven. If the master told us to watch you and not open the door or speak, we really don't want to." Dare, you are the old man, so don't talk to us eunuchs, okay?"

Wang Xijue was secretly angry, and with a movement of his finger, two banknotes with a value of 100 taels slipped out through the crack of the door. "Ouch!"

"money!"

When the two servants saw the two banknotes slipping past them, they were immediately hooked. They squatted down and pressed their hands to divide the two banknotes.

"100 taels!"

"so many!"

For these two little servants, ten taels of silver is not a small amount, let alone 100 taels. The big shots accept bribes in the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, but the people at the bottom, tens of taels of silver are nothing It may be seen that it is indeed a very difficult thing for them to resist the temptation of these dozens of taels of silver.
