Chapter 13 [key "lower body"] -1

Eunuchs are also crazy "Nine Thousand Years" Wei Zhongxian Apocalypse five years one day in the winter.A small inn in Beijing. Nilv was boring, five merchants who came to the capital from all over the world to do small business got together to drink.One of them drank a cup of hot wine, his strength was flooded, his chest was open, and he said loudly: "Wei Zhongxian, a bird father-in-law, has done a lot of evil, and he will be defeated for a long time!" Grand Duke Wei, how can we not make people panic. Although the other four people were poured with a lot of old wine, they were either silent or frightened, none of them dared to follow the words of this big-mouthed guest.The two timid ones advised him not to talk nonsense and cause trouble.Hot wine on an empty stomach naturally makes people courageous. Not only did the drunken and loud-mouthed businessman not keep his mouth shut, he patted his chest and said: "What's wrong! Although Wei Zhongxian is known as a tyrannical man, he can still skin me with just a few words from me! "The rest are silent.After half an hour, they all dispersed quietly and went back to their rooms to rest in peace.

In the middle of the night, the door of the inn was kicked open suddenly, and dozens of Jinyiwei soldiers poured in, using torches in their hands to identify the guests one by one.Soon, he found the master who was drunk and scolded Wei Zhongxian, immediately knocked him down on the ground, tied him tightly, and dragged him away.In a panic, the four people who drank with him were also identified later, and then they were arrested and escorted to a certain courtyard in the Forbidden City. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the lights are bright.Four merchants were thrown to the ground.Looking up and peeking, he saw Sebu in the mouth of the grandfather who had been drinking with them earlier, whimpering.His hands, feet, and limbs were pierced by iron nails and nailed to a door panel.Like wolves and tigers, soldiers in royal guards and a few young eunuchs in Chinese clothes stood respectfully, but an old man sat in the middle of the grand teacher's chair, smiling with his cheeks (without beards), and said to the four kneeling people below: " This person said that I, Wei Zhongxian, can't skin him? Let's try it, everyone, pay attention!"

Unlike ordinary father-in-laws, Grandpa Wei's voice is not particularly shrill, but hoarse and vigorous, revealing a majestic and invincible murderous aura. "Come here, wait for me!" Duke Wei shouted decisively. Upon hearing the order, several Jinyi guards immediately took out the boiled asphalt from a large iron pot in the middle of the courtyard with a small porcelain tube, and poured it evenly and carefully from head to toe all over the whole body of the man nailed to the door, even every day. No fingertips are spared.For a moment, the smell of scorched lake and meat wafted into the air, and a sensational low howl from the victim's chest came out from the blocked throat.

Three of the four merchants kneeling on the ground suddenly relaxed their sphincter muscles and pulled down their pants.The other one was even better, just fainted from fright. Grand Duke Wei drank hot wine from a small golden cup, admired the work of his subordinates, and gave pointers from time to time. When the asphalt was completely dry on the prisoner's body, in order to let the four people on the ground see clearly, Eunuch Wei sent someone to pour a bucket of cold water over them, dousing the four people into a shock, and the old brother who passed out also opened his eyes. "Look carefully!" Wei Zhongxian said.Several young eunuchs grinned grimly, some cut them with knives, some struck them with wooden hammers, almost all of them were the skills of first-class chefs and first-class tailors, they completely made the whole human skin of the man who was drunk and scolded the man peel off.

Due to the stretching of the asphalt, the human skin stood on the ground, almost like a complete hollow person standing there.The skinned person hadn't died yet, and he could still see his "fur coat" standing in front of him with his eyes, and the expression of horror and horror could still be seen from his face with no skin but muscles. At this moment, the four people lying on the ground all fainted from fright. They felt that their fate would be the same as that of the guest officer on the door panel. Wei Zhongxian smiled, he covered his nose (several people were so frightened that they pulled their pants several times), and made people wake up the four people on the ground with cold water, "good words" comforted: "This matter has nothing to do with you, I only peel this Didn’t he say that I can’t skin him! Skynet is restored, I am the sky! You guys are honest, don’t talk nonsense, and you’ll be shocked by five taels of silver per person.”

After speaking, he waved his hand.Jin Yiwei came up, two of them supported each other, and carried the four frightened and paralyzed merchants into the sedan chair, and carried them all back to the inn where they were staying... This "story" is not fabricated by the author based on imagination, nor is it an anonymous author What was written blindly in the Ming Dynasty was a true story recorded by Xia Yunyi (the father of Xia Wanchun), a great scholar in the late Ming Dynasty, in his "Survival Record", which was told to him by a fortune-teller surnamed Xu.At that time, Warlock Xu was staying in that inn, and he personally experienced the incident.

Eunuch Wei's new asphalt peeling method is to peel human skin alive, and the technical requirements are very high.Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and his son also have the "Hui Lishui" peeling method, but they kill people first and then peel them.Wei Zhongxian carried it forward, his methods were more cruel, and the tortured people suffered more. The earliest readers of Wei Zhongxian's fortune saw this title, saw "lower body", "Wei Zhongxian", and "prosperity", and some people must have laughed, some despised, and some were disdainful.Poets can write from the "lower body", historical female figures, such as Empress Wu, Cixi, etc., can make fortunes from the "lower body". It is said that eunuchs can rely on their "lower body" to make a fortune.Honest readers may even be angry and criticize the author:

"You bird Helian Bobo, you want to attract readers' attention. Those things in the Ming Dynasty, okay, if you have the ability, you can learn from another writer who installed fake click rate software in Tianya and clicked five million to toss about it. If you are capable, you call yourself a grassroots poor person! If you are capable, you can imitate others who put corpses in their posts and then cry out for sympathy! Why is King Helian so weak, making up bizarre topics to lure our readers?" All spectators, don't be angry, the fortune of the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian is really related to his "lower body", let me tell you slowly.

After the death of Emperor Guangzong of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xuan's servant Lai stayed in Qianqing Palace and fought with the ministers. There was an eunuch named "Li Jinzhong" beside her who gave advice.This Li Jinzhong was none other than Wei Zhongxian in the future, but he was called "Li Jinzhong" at that time.After eunuchs entered the palace, they often took refuge in the chief eunuch, and whatever the surname of the "boss" was, he usually had that surname.At that time, "Li Jinzhong" had already revealed his sinister and superhuman qualities. He had been persuading Li Xuanshi to lure Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, who took the lead in making troubles, into the palace and kill them, and then held Zhu Youxiao (Ming Xizong) to follow Wu Zetian to listen to politics behind the curtain.Li Xuan served a mediocre woman and did not listen to Li Jinzhong's words.However, Li Jinzhong (Wei Zhongxian) is not just an ordinary eunuch serving Li Xuan's side.He entered the palace very early, and had already entered the palace around the seventeenth year of Wanli, and belonged to Sun Xian, the eunuch of the East Factory who was in charge of the Rites at that time.

Wei Zhongxian, formerly known as Wei Jinzhong, was born in Suning, Hejian.He was not the kind of lifelong professional eunuch who had his penis cut off at a young age.When he was a teenager, he was a local rogue, smart and pretty, drinking and gambling every day, whoring and looking for flowers, fighting cocks and horses, a typical floating boy.Not only that, Wei Zhongxian is also good at martial arts, he can hold the bow with his right hand, draw the string with his left hand, and hit every shot, he is almost a master archer.What he lacks a little is in culture, he is almost illiterate.But this person has a lot of knowledge and strong memory, dares to act and make judgments, so he is more cunning and wise than ordinary literate people.

The reason why Wei Zhongxian entered the palace as an eunuch was also due to a momentary impulse.Once, he gambled with many evil people and won thousands of silver taels by playing tricks.As a result, the villains discovered that Xiao Wei was deceitful, and they became more and more violent. They not only took back the money they lost in the bet, but also chased and beat Wei Zhongxian with a crowd, which made him extremely embarrassed.Under the resentment, Wei Zhongxian revealed the ruthless side of his nature.With a loud cry, he stopped all the evil young men who were chasing and beating him, took out the knife from his waist, took out his second child who had been tender for a long time, cut off the guy with one knife, and threw it bloody to everyone. Seeing this situation, everyone scattered.Then, the God of Gamblers walked into the guild with his head held high without tears in his trousers.The young Wei Zhongxian had lofty aspirations, got a blessing in disguise, and changed his career to enter the palace to develop. During the Wanli period, Ming Guangzong, as the eldest son of Ming Shenzong, had a very unstable position and lived in fear all the time. Therefore, his own son Zhu Youxiao (later Ming Xizong) was basically in a state of lack of education and supervision. The closest people in the child's growth process were the nanny Hakka and his father-in-law Wei Zhongxian who played with him every day. Wei Zhongxian was ruthless to others, but he loved Zhu Youxiao from the bottom of his heart. He almost watched the emperor's grandson grow up since he was a child, caring for him day and night, and playing with him.To be honest, Eunuch Wei did not have much selfishness at that time, because even Zhu Youxiao's father's status was in jeopardy at that time (it is very likely that Zheng Guifei's son Fu Wang will become emperor in the future), let alone Zhu Youxiao's child himself up. All eunuchs in the palace of the Ming Dynasty had sects.Wei Zhongxian was able to serve the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao because he was introduced by an eunuch named Wei Chao in the palace.The Wei Dynasty belonged to the eunuch Wang Anmen.Wang An served Ming Guangzong for nearly 40 years. He can be said to be a "highly respected" old eunuch. Naturally, he valued his disciple Wei Zhongxian, a disciple of the Wei Dynasty.At that time, the intrauterine sexual partner (counter food) of the Wei Dynasty was Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse Hakka.The so-called "counter food" is also called "caihu" in the palace, that is, many eunuchs with status in the palace have a relatively fixed official woman as their "caihu", who usually have a "sex life" in secret. ", to meet the spiritual needs.The Wei Dynasty had a higher position, and they often worked under the teacher Wang An's door, and had a lot of chores, so naturally they had little time to "do that" with the Hakka family.The Hakka family has been away for a long time and has strong desires, so Wei Zhongxian, who is handsome and strong, recommends himself to be a pillow mat, and the two secretly love each other behind Wei Chaori's back. Although Old Wei was an eunuch, he had been a normal person before, and he was also a master at finding flowers and asking willows. He has a special research on women's G-spot and W-spot and other orgasm zones.Therefore, through his hands probing Huaxin and tongue wandering Ruikou, Ke Shi's heart was completely captured by Lao Wei, and he could not leave him even for a moment. After Ming Guangzong became emperor, he appointed his son Zhu Youxiao as the crown prince, and Wei Zhongxian jumped up to his teacher Wei Chao at once, and became a powerful eunuch like "Donggong Dianshan". This is all contributed by Hakka .Later, because of his bad idea for Li Xuan, the minister Yang Lian impeached him, even Wei Zhongxian, which frightened him at that time, and he cried and begged his master Wei Chao and his master Wang An.The two father-in-laws were very righteous and tried their best to protect Wei Zhongxian. Ming Guangzong died of illness just one month after he ascended the throne, and his young master Zhu Youxiao became emperor.In this way, Wei Zhongxian and the Wei Dynasty are on an equal footing, and they are both old heroes of the new emperor's old palace.One evening, the two drank too much wine, and they came to the small room where the guest of the Nuange family lived in the Qianqing Palace, vying to hug the emperor's nanny to sleep.It was hard for Ke to say anything, but the two father-in-laws who used to be in the same trench fought violently, punched and kicked, cursed and beat.Seeing that the situation was not good, the Ke family hurried into Ming Xizong's palace, spoke ill of the Wei Dynasty, and praised Wei Zhongxian very much.During the sixteen or seventeen years of growing up, Ming Xizong had a serious sense of dependence on Keshi both emotionally and physically, a feeling similar to the "Oedipus complex", basically treating Keshi as a sexually enlightened mother. So, he immediately recruited the two Weis who were fighting hard to come in.Wei Chao relied on serving the emperor for many years, and his rank was always higher than that of Wei Zhongxian, so he felt that the emperor must scold him and turn to him.However, the little emperor was silent for a while, and loudly scolded Wei Chao.Seeing this, the eunuchs immediately dismissed the Wei Dynasty. Unyielding, Wei Zhongxian resigned his former benefactor and old "rival in love" Wei Chao to Fengyang as a pure army.On the way, they sent someone to strangle him with a rope.As a result, step by step, Wei Zhongxian finally became an unstoppable trend. After killing Wei Chao, Wei Zhongxian began to turn his attention to his master Wang An.Ming Xizong's success in ascension to the throne was due to the support of his father Ming Guangzong's loyal eunuch Wang An and other ministers.Wang An found that his disciple Wei Zhongxian was not a thing, so he discussed with the ministers, and wanted to punish him severely.Wei Zhongxian was able to pretend, knelt in front of Wang An and burst into tears, smacking his mouth as he spoke, the old eunuch Wang softened his heart, and only ordered him to reform himself, but failed to reprimand him to leave the palace immediately. Due to being forced to move out of the palace under the pressure of the minister, the Ke family hated Wang An very much.After all, she was the nanny who had a blood relationship with Ming Xizong, and the little emperor recalled the Hakka family back to the palace soon after. After Mingxizong was established, according to the merits and seniority in the palace at that time, Wang An, the old eunuch under his father Mingguangzong, should definitely be the best candidate for the eunuch who is in charge of the ceremony and seal, and the imperial edict has been issued.However, after the appointment of high-ranking officials and eunuchs of the Ming court, the appointees generally had to go through a formality, submitting repeatedly on the table, and going through the cutscenes before officially taking office.It is precisely this gap in the cutscene that gave Wei Zhongxian and Hakka an opportunity to take advantage of.At this time, there was also an eunuch named Wang Tiqian in the Prison of Rites. He always wanted to be the chief eunuch, so he and Wei Zhongxian persuaded the Ke family to speak ill of Wang An in front of Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty. In the matter, Huo Weihua submitted a table to impeach Wang An.Ming Xi Zong was a simple-minded young man, and he didn't have a deep impression of his father's old servant Wang An, so naturally he withheld Wang An's appointment if he listened to the Ke family.As a result, the post of admiral and eunuch in the palm of the chief of ceremonies became vacant. The Ke family discussed with Wang Tiqian privately, saying that he could let him take this position, but the exchange condition was that Wei Zhongxian must be the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies and Bingbi, and Wang Tigan had to follow Wei Zhongxian's lead in all major internal and external affairs.According to the theory, the eunuch who is in charge of the seal of ceremony is the "political commissar" of the eunuch, and the eunuch who holds the pen must be an eunuch who is erudite and capable of writing.Wei Zhongxian is illiterate, so it is extremely inappropriate to take up this position.Political power is a transaction.Wang Tigan agreed, and promised that he, the eunuch "political commissar", would obey Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch "commander" in everything.After a few negotiations were settled, the Hakka family would speak to the emperor, and naturally it would be settled immediately. After Wei Zhongxian became the eunuch of Li Bingbi, his boss, his first step was to demote his master Wang An to the South China Sea Clean Army, and let his father-in-law sweep him away.Within a few days, he sent someone to strangle Wang An to death, and committed suicide in fear of crime.From then on, Eunuch Wei finally started his impressive road of no return. The above "deeds" prove that Wei Zhongxian would never be able to climb to the top leadership of the eunuchs if the Wuke family helped him.And the reason why Ke Shi devoted all his efforts to help the old plunger Wei Zhongxian was precisely because of the function of the old Wei's "lower body".Of course, Wei Zhongxian’s lower body is empty, but it’s just that he used his tongue, fingers, and “lower body” memories in the cerebral cortex to flatter the emperor’s nanny, and finally achieved a “positive result”. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that his "lower body" is the key. Wei Zhongxian's control over the government. Ming Xizong's adolescent absurd boy, he really repayed his kindness to his nanny Hakka. He not only named Hakka "Fengsheng Madam", but also appointed Hakka's son Hou Guoxing as the commander of Jinyiwei.A Dingxing farmer suddenly changed from a white man to a "major general" of the special service army.Soon, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty ordered the Ministry of Households to select 20 hectares of fertile land to allocate to the Hakka family for the cost of incense to protect the grave, and also ordered the Ministry of Industry to describe Wei Zhongxian's "guard" achievements. Wang Xinyi, the censor, advised: "Before the funeral of the Zi Palace, the incense of the Hakka clan should be prescribed first; after the mausoleum is completed, the hard work of (Wei) Zhongxian should be forced to use, which is not suitable for rituals and inappropriate for things." Furious, he issued an imperial edict to reprimand Wang Xinyi.Officials from the Li Ke Ji Shi Zhong, Li Ke Ji Shi Zhong, Bing Ke Ji Shi Zhong, Yu Shi, and other officials advised the emperor to learn from the lessons learned from Liu Jin and Jiang Bin's chaos in the past, but most of them incurred retaliation by cutting their ranks and demoting officials. . During this period of time, Wei Zhongxian and others did not commit mass killings. One was that they were not strong enough, and the other was that the power of eunuchs in the court had not yet become established. After Wei Zhongxian killed Master Wang An, he alone had the final say in the palace, extremely arrogant.The eunuchs all knew that young people loved to practice martial arts for fun, and Lao Wei, like Wang Zhen and others in the past, often practiced soldiers in the forbidden palace for Mingxi Zong to laugh at.Due to the continuous sound of the gong and drum, the prince who had just been born by a concubine of Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty was frightened to death by the loud and deafening sound.In addition, the eunuch Wang Jin was holding a gun in front of Ming Xizong, and suddenly the chamber exploded. Not to mention that the prince lost one of his hands, he almost blew up the little emperor. The censor Liu Zhifeng said: "If there were three thousand soldiers around Liu Jin back then, would he be able to capture him without a fight?" In the past, Wei Zhongxian was furious, because he himself led more than 10,000 armored soldiers, and he especially hated others talking about this, so he made an order to blame Liu Zhifeng. There are scruples in the outer court, Wei Zhongxian and Hakka can be said to be the roles of "overlord" and "empress dowager" in the palace, they can do whoever they want, and kill whoever they want.Zhao, the beauty of Emperor Guangzong of the Ming Dynasty, was ordered to die by Wei Zhongxian because he didn't want to see the Hakka family before; the concubine Yu Zhang, the favorite concubine of the Ming Xizong, was pregnant and accidentally offended the Hakka family. Concubine Yu.Eunuch Wei cut off Concubine Zhang's food and locked her in a secluded place in the palace, not even giving her a sip of water.After nearly ten days of hunger and starvation, when it rained lightly, Concubine Zhang struggled to climb under the eaves and drank a few drops of rainwater with her hands. Son", also died together.Those who starved to death were Feng Guiren, Hu Guiren and several other concubines.Hearing that the concubine Li advised the emperor not to practice martial arts in the palace, Wei Zhongxian and Hakka were very angry and immediately sent an internal eunuch to imprison the concubine. Concubine Li Cheng had known about Concubine Zhang Yu's frightful death from starvation before, she had already prepared for it, and secretly stored some food between the walls of the aisle, and was able to survive for several days.Later, the guests and Wei were relieved of their anger, and Concubine Li Cheng was demoted to a palace maid, but fortunately she survived. This is true for the concubines of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, and the Empress Zhang and Ke also dare to attack.Knowing that Empress Zhang was pregnant, the Ke family bribed the court lady and put musk and other things in Empress Zhang's diet, causing the empress to miscarry. Because of the insidiousness of the Hakka family, all the concubines of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty were pregnant, but none of the princes survived.An old professor in the forum of hundreds of schools kept talking about his "new discovery" of history, and believed that the Ke family and Wei Zhongxian murdered these pregnant concubines because they wanted to get their own relatives' flesh and blood, and when the Ke family fell from power, several people were found in their homes. Pregnant women as supporting "evidence".But he forgot that when Keshi and Lao Wei did these things, it was in the early years of Tianqi.It was possible to think about this as far back as five or six years ago, and this pair of adulterers and prostitutes really didn't have such foresight.What they meant at the time was that if any of these women gave birth to a prince, their status would rise suddenly and their own interests would be endangered. As for Wei Zhongxian's chaotic politics, in fact, there is no particularly new and good method, but an old trick that his eunuchs and seniors have tried repeatedly: Ming Xizong likes to be a carpenter, and he can't leave his hands all day long, making furniture by himself.Of course, compared to Emperor Yuan Shun, who had a genius design ability, this emperor of the Han nationality was just a craftsman with little skills.Whenever the emperor used a rope to cut ink to draw lines and circles on the wood to drill holes, Wei Zhongxian would "ask for instructions" with a bunch of memorials. Seeing this, Ming Xizong was impatient, and rebuked, "I know, you should deal with it yourself!" When the emperor opened this golden mouth, Wei Zhongxian was naturally proud and proud, and he could mention whoever he wanted to mention, and destroy whoever he wanted to destroy. Among the ministers, Wei Zhongxian first introduced his confidant Wei Guangwei as a bachelor in the third year of Tianqi, and first installed his own candidates in the cabinet.Later, he stuffed Feng Quan, Shi Fenglai and others in succession.These "Weijiage elders" have always worked hard for Eunuch Wei.In the same year, Wei Zhongxian himself was also in charge of Dongchang, controlling the imperial guards and intelligence power. In July of the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), Yang Lian, the censor of the left deputy capital, went to Shu, and impeached Wei Zhongxian for his twenty-four major crimes: Emperor Gao decreed that internal officials are not allowed to interfere in foreign affairs, only for Ye Ting to clean up, and there is no pardon for those who violate the law.The sage is in the imperial court, but there are unscrupulous and chaotic courts, such as Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of Dongchang.Dare to list his crimes, for His Majesty's words: (Wei) Zhongxian was a rogue in the market, middle-aged and clean, and entered the mainland. At first, he was mistaken as a small loyalty and a small letter to thank him, and then he dared to become a big traitor and a big evil to disrupt the government.The ancestral system is to draft the purpose to be responsible for the cabinet ministers.One of the most serious crimes is to be loyal to the virtuous and domineering, to preach more, or to criticize internally, to destroy the political system of the ancestors for more than 200 years. Liu Yixiu, Zhou Jiamo, Minister Gu Ming also, (Wei) Zhongxian ordered Sun Jie to go.Eager to eliminate one's own taboo, not allowing your majesty to change his father's minister, the second major crime. The first emperor Bintian really had hidden hatred (referring to the "Hongwan case"). Sun Shenxing and Zou Yuanbiao expressed their anger with justice, and (Wei) Zhongxian dismissed them.Shen Hong, who was chosen by the party to protect and serve him, took care of himself, and finally added python jade.The third major crime is to hate loyalty and righteousness by being close to rebellious thieves. Wang Ji and Zhong Yuzheng made great achievements in the country.Ji Ji is a Sikou, law enforcement is like a mountain; Yuzheng is Sikong, and his cultivation is like a crane. (Wei) Zhongxian builds a party and repudiates him. He must not tolerate direct ministers who have a righteous look and stand in the court in the prime of life. The four major crimes. The country is the most important thing. (Wei) Zhongxian grasped it with one hand, tried his best to prevent Sun Shenxing and Sheng Yihong who were the first to push, and even resigned to prevent them from going out.Do you really want to be a prime minister?Deadly sin five. The nobleman is in the court, so don't push it again.Last year, Nan Dazai and Bei Shaozai were both used as companions, which caused the famous sages to feel uneasy about their positions. (Wei Zhongxian) Inverting the government and misusing power, the six major crimes. The holy government is new, and the righteousness is loyal and straight.Naiman Chaojian, Wen Zhenmeng, Xiong Deyang, Jiang Bingqian, Xu Daxiang, Mao Shilong, Hou Zhenyang, etc. resisted a little disobedience, stood up and demoted them, and repeatedly received grace, but resisted the bestowal of rings.Chang'an said that the anger of the emperor is easy to resolve, but the anger of Zhongxian (Wei) is difficult to resolve, and there are seven major crimes. However, it is still called the courtiers of the foreign court.Last year in the southern suburbs, it was rumored that there was a nobleman (Hu Guiren) in the palace, who was favored by the lotus for his virtue and chastity. (Wei) Zhongxian feared that he would reveal his arrogance, and put him to death on the pretext of sudden illness.It is His Majesty who can't protect his precious fortune. The eighth crime. It is said that there is no name to seal it.Concubine Yu (Zhang's family) is consecrated by the Chinese and foreign parties as she is pregnant. (Wei) Zhongxian hated him for not being attached to himself, so he ordered him to commit suicide.It is His Majesty who cannot protect his concubines, the nine major crimes. It is still said that it is in the concubines.Zhonggong Youqing (Empress Zhang was pregnant), who had become a man, died suddenly. It was rumored that (Wei) Zhongxian and Mrs. Fengsheng were really conspiring.It is His Majesty who cannot protect his son, ten serious crimes. The first emperor (Ming Guangzong) Qinggong for forty years, the only one who protected and protected the lonely and dangerous was Wang An'er.That is to say, His Majesty hastily ordered to support defense and defense, and An is not without labor. (Wei) Zhongxian ordered to kill him in Nanyuan out of personal anger.It is an old slave who not only hated Wang An, but also dared to hate the late emperor. Besides, other courtiers who were innocent but killed and expelled without knowing how many thousands of people, the eleventh crime. Today's reward, tomorrow's shrine, the threat is endless, and Wang Yan repeatedly blasphemed. (Wei Zhongxian) Recently, he destroyed people's houses in the river, built a memorial archway, carved phoenixes and carved dragons, inserted clouds into the Han Dynasty, and not only pretended to be mausoleums in the tombs, the twelve major crimes. Books in the shade today, brocade clothes in the shade tomorrow.The mouths of Jinwu halls are all milky, and the halls of imperial edicts are illiterate.For example, Wei Liangbi, Wei Liangcai, Wei Liangqing, Wei Xikong (all nephews and relatives of Wei Zhongxian) and their nephew Fu Yingxing, etc., abused the shade of kindness and molested the court. With the method of erecting canils, Qi Wan's family died in parallel. (Wei Zhongxian) intended to frame the relatives of the country and shake the palace.If it wasn't for the strong support of the cabinet ministers, and the officials corrected it, the relatives of the Jiaofang would set up a big prison again, with fourteen major crimes. Zhang Shikui, a student in Liangxiang, was involved in a fight for coal mines, and died under the pretext of opening mines.If you want to steal a piece of soil from Changling, how can you deal with it?Zhao Gaolu can be used as a horse, and (Wei) Zhongxian's coal can be used as a mine. Fifteen major crimes. Yousi is responsible for Wang Sijing and other pastoral matters. (Wei) Zhongxian set a trap in seclusion, plundered willfully, and regarded the lives of scholars like straws, which is a sixteenth heinous crime. In the middle of the matter, Zhou Shipu was in charge of correction and weaving supervision. (Wei) Zhongxian actually stopped his promotion, so that the official department could not be expelled, and the officials did not dare to refute it. Seventeen major crimes. Bei Zhenfu Liu Qiao refused to kill and seduce people, (Wei) Zhongxian lost his membership because he was not good at training.It is okay to disobey the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but dare not disobey the laws of (Wei) Zhongxian, which is eighteen serious crimes. In the matter, Wei Dazhong followed the order and took the post, but suddenly passed the order to criticize.And Dazhong Huizhao, Taiwan Province handed over the chapter, and then blasphemed the king's words. Regardless of playing with the officials in the palm of the stock, but the brilliant celestial language changes day and night, which is the nineteenth major crime. The East Factory was originally set up to arrest traitors.Since (Wei) Zhongxian took matters into his own hands, he has been doing things with quick personal enmity and depravity.Zongyezi Fu Yingxing, Chen Jugong, and Fu Ji's seniors set up traps.If the phrase is slightly violated, if the driving post is established, it is bound to prosper Tongwenguan and then go to prison. Twenty major crimes. The border police have not ceased, martial law is imposed inside and outside, what is the matter of the Dongchang visit?The former spy Han Zonggong sneaked into Chang'an, the mansion of the real master (Wei) Zhongxian Sifang, and the incident began to come to light.If God does not regret the misfortune, the ancestral merits are accomplished, and it is unknown where the living beings of the Nine Temples will be settled, twenty-one major crimes. The ancestral system does not store internal soldiers, which has a deep meaning. (Wei) Zhongxian and the treacherous minister Shen Hong established the internal affairs, where the treacherous people were hidden, and they knew that there were no robbers and assassins sneaking in as the enemy's spy.Once it turns into an elbow and armpit, it can be considered deeply, and it is the twenty-two major crimes. (Wei) Zhongxian went to Zhuozhou for incense, the police hailed him, and the dust cleared the road. People thought he was lucky.And when he returned, he changed to driving four horses, with a green cover on the feather building, and a protective ring to cover it, just like riding a public opinion.During the period, there are many people who enter the scene to make plans and offer advice. (Wei) Why does Zhongxian think of himself as a human being at this time?Twenty-three deadly sins. A husband who is extremely favored is arrogant, and kindness becomes resentment.I heard that in this spring (Wei) Zhongxian walked before his horse, and His Majesty shot his horse to save him from death. (Wei) Zhongxian does not confess his crimes, enters with arrogance, retreats with complaints, dikes day and night, and never releases.They have always been chaotic officials and thieves, who only fight for one thought, and they are so presumptuous that they can't be remedied. How can they keep tigers between their elbows and armpits!This is also an inch (Wei) Zhongxian, who is not enough to do his crimes, twenty-four major crimes. All this rebellion is obvious to people's eyes and ears.It is because the inner court is afraid of disaster and dare not speak, and the outer court is tongue-tied and dare not play.Occasionally, when the adultery is revealed, there will be Feng Sheng's wife (Ke Shi) to bridge the gap.Even the shameless ones, clinging to the branches and leaves, relying on the door wall, are more inward and outward, echoing each other.The prestige was robbed, and it was sent to Ye Ting, but there was (Wei) Zhongxian, but not His Majesty; in the capital, but there was (Wei) Zhongxian, but not His Majesty. ...Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, life and death are at stake, so can't he be independent?Why is being controlled by a clown, making Chinese and foreign big and small feel unsure of their lives?Fuqi was furious, gathered civil and military officials, ordered the Ministry of Punishments to make strict inquiries, and rectified the laws of the country, and went out to worship the holy lady (Keshi) outside, so as to eliminate worries, the minister died and was immortal! Wei Zhongxian had a lot of eyes and ears, and soon learned the content of Yang Lianzhang's performance.He is terrified and facing the biggest challenge since he took the helm.The eunuch Wang Tiqian, the admiral of ceremonies, did not speak out, and only picked out a few of them that could anger Ming Xizong. First, let the emperor have a prejudice against Yang Lian. . Ming Xizong didn't care much about this impeachment.After listening too much, he developed a rebellious mentality, so he immediately asked the cabinet minister Wei Guangwei to draw up an order to blame Yang Lian. According to various historical books, Yang Lian originally wrote the memorial and submitted it immediately, just at the turn of the day, he was afraid that the content of the memorial would be leaked, so he couldn't wait to put the memorial to the extreme gate of the meeting, so that he could reach the audience as soon as possible.If this is the case, Yang Lian's IQ is too low: at the "acceptance window" of Huijimen, the people on duty are either eunuchs or Jin Yiwei. When they get the memorial, their first reaction is to report it to Eunuch Wei. ? Knowing that Wei Zhongxian was hurrying up to discuss how to deal with him, Yang Lian became even angrier and prepared to publicly participate in impeachment when he was about to go to court.Eunuch Wei racked his brains as much as he could, and offered a highly medicinal aphrodisiac spring wine, which made Ming Xi Zong lose his strength overnight and couldn't go to court for three days.Three days later, when the emperor came out of the court, hundreds of eunuchs stood wrapped in armor and stood with his majesty, and the Zuoban censor was strictly prohibited from speaking. In fact, all of Yang Lian's efforts were basically in vain.Even if he played well, even if he had experienced Wei Zhongxian's crimes in front of the emperor, he would not be able to listen to Ming Xizong who regarded Wei Gonggong and Hakka as his raising parents in his heart. From the beginning of Yang Lian's memorial, Wei Zhongxian became murderous.The ministers of science and Taoism and the ministers of the DPRK and China were so excited that they wrote many articles. At one time, there were more than a hundred articles. Plays, chapters, or ensembles are all passionate and indignant, denouncing Wei Gonggong's treachery. The chief assistant, Ye Xianggao, was a veteran of the third dynasty, full of virtue, and supported good people.But many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Lao Ye is indecisive in everything.If Yang Lian Shangshu impeached Wei Zhongxian for the twenty-four major crimes, Ye Xianggao led his ministers to stand out as prime minister, he should have the power to restrain the party to death.But he changed his mind that Wei Zhongxian was not easy to get rid of, and the cabinet members should have the power to bring him back to normal for any major affairs in the court. Seeing more than a hundred ministers complaining one after another, Ye Xianggao had no choice but to express his opinion, saying that so many ministers criticized Wei Gonggong, and I, Ye Xianggao, was also slandered. Maybe I will be included in the history biography with Jiao Fang in the future Grand Duke Liu Jin's best friend).However, Ye Xianggao still praised Wei Zhongxian for his hard work and meritorious deeds in his memorial, and hoped that the emperor would relieve him of his power of affairs and listen to them in private, so as to protect him from beginning to end. At this time, Wei Zhongxian was already full-fledged, so of course he would not voluntarily resign and go home to recuperate, and the emperor would not be willing to be without a "godfather" for his second child. Knowing that the chief assistant Ye Xianggao made such a public statement, Eunuch Wei was annoyed, and asked the gunman Xu Dahua to draft an edict, narrating his own "contributions" and refuting Ye Xianggao with hundreds of words.Above, the emperor declared his position, below were Wei Zhongxian's henchmen from the cabinet next to him, and usually there were many small eunuchs surrounding the mansion and shouting loudly. Lao Ye knew that Beijing could no longer be left, so he hurriedly sent more than 20 documents, begging to go. Ming Xizong respected Lao Ye very much, Wei Zhongxian did not dare to kill the veteran of the three dynasties, so he gave Ye Xianggao the false title of Taifu, and sent someone to protect Ye Xianggui and return home. Eunuch Wei's party eunuch Wang Tiqian proposed to restore the imperial staff and threatened the minister.The father-in-laws did what they said, and Wanxiu, a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, wrote a letter to impeach Wei Zhongxian, and he was immediately killed by the imperial staff in the court. Ye Xianggao quit immediately, and his successor chief assistants Han Kuang and Zhu Guozhen quit after working for a long time. "Those who live in the government are all villains, and Qingliu has nothing to rely on." The cabinet minister Wei Guangwei even compiled a directory by himself, with a total of more than 60 people. People, headed by Ye Xianggao, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others, are regarded as "evil party" and secretly reported to Wei Zhongxian, so that the eunuch party can be eradicated step by step according to the book. At the same time, he made a list of more than 50 people who agreed with him, including Huo Weihua and Ruan Dacheng, as "gentlemen", and presented Wei Zhongxian for subsequent promotion.In fact, the "evil party" in Wei Guangwei's eyes is the real "honest man"; the "honest man" in his eyes is the real "evil party" attached to him. In the process of the eunuch party seeking to gather "comrades", Cui Chengxiu appeared on the stage and became Wei Zhongxian's most powerful minion. Cui Chengxiu, a native of Jizhou, was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli.In the early years of Tianqi, he patrolled the Huaiyang area as a censor, which is similar to today's special commissioner of the Central Disciplinary Inspection.Due to the large number of lecturers and apprentices at Gu Xiancheng's home, the "Donglin Party" was formed at that time to represent the Qingliu of scholars.Cui Chengxiu speculated on villains and wanted to "join the party", but his reputation was too bad and he was rejected by the Donglin Party.Speaking of the Donglin Party, we also need to briefly introduce this important political group in the late Ming Dynasty. When Zhang Juzheng was in power, freedom of speech was closed and students were suppressed. For this reason, Gu Xiancheng and others formed a force against the centralization of the cabinet.In the mid-Wanli period, with the unfolding of the "struggle for the foundation of the country", courtiers and people in the field gradually formed an organized political group to call for "opening up the way of speech".Because Gu Xiancheng, Gao Panlong and others used "Donglin Academy" as their base to give lectures on their studies, the Donglin Party was fully formed.These people were well-known and gradually had the power to influence the appointment of officials in the Ming government, and the Donglin Party became more and more prosperous.The Tianqi Chunian cabinet headed by Ye Xianggao can actually be said to be in power from the Donglin Party.It was precisely because of Yang Lian's exposure of Wei Zhongxian's crimes that he pushed the Donglin Party to the front line of the confrontation with the Eunuch Party.Hating monks and cassocks, Eunuch Wei naturally regarded Donglin party members as thorns in his eyes and thorns in his flesh. Cui Chengxiu himself is a villain who loves money and bribes. He took stolen money wantonly during his tour in Huaiyang.For example, when the corruption incident of Zheng Yanzuo in Huoqiu County was revealed, Cui Chengxiu showed the report letter to Zheng County, saying that he was writing a memorial to expose and impeach him.The magistrate of Zheng County was "sensible", and immediately brought out a thousand taels of silver to express his "apology".Cui Yushi's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "This is not an example."Zheng Zhixian saw that the censor was so approachable, and immediately ordered his servant to bring in another thousand taels of silver.Cui Yushi smiled, and immediately wrote a memorial to recommend him to the central government in front of Zheng Zhixian.And so on, Cui Chengxiu made a turn in Huaiyang within a few years, and basically became a rich man, and he returned to court. If you want people to not know, unless you have done nothing.When Cui Chengxiu returned to the court, Gao Panlong, the censor of the capital, collected all his corruption charges and wrote them down in detail.Zhao Nanxing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, attached great importance to the case and believed that "discipline inspectors" like Cui Chengxiu should not be lightly forgiven for committing corruption, and ordered him to be dismissed from office, and "double regulation" pending investigation.In desperation, Cui Wuwu ran into Wei Zhongxian's private house overnight, kowtowed and begged, crying that Gao Panlong and Zhao Nanxing were both members of the Donglin Party. In order to gain Wei Zhongxian's trust, Cui Chengxiu hugged her father-in-law's thigh, snotted and cried, and said that she wanted to recognize Wei Zhongxian as her godfather.Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed.After Yang Lian and other hundreds of ministers impeached him, he was trying to win over a group of courtiers who were loyal to him, and was preparing to increase his power in the outer court.Cui Chengxiu's refuge was a perfect opportunity, so he hit it off with Wei Zhongxian and immediately became his father-in-law's confidant. Therefore, in the name of Emperor Zhongzhi, Eunuch Wei re-appointed Cui Chengxiu as the censor and dismissed the corruption charges against him. From then on, Eunuch Wei's large-scale elimination and massacre of dissident forces in the DPRK and China has entered the implementation stage. Wei Zhongxian's fruit is to kill people, even if it is Wei Gonggong, who holds the world's big handle, to kill people, there must be an excuse.所以,打造某个案件,铸成大案,可以把诸人皆牵涉进去,以图一网打尽。如何下手呢,正好朝中有熊廷弼案,虽然牵连很勉强,但套子是现成的,于是阉党们经过细心谋划,开始了行动。 熊廷弼案当时又称“辽案”。天启初年,熊廷弼以兵部尚书兼右副都御史的身份经略辽东,与广宁巡抚王化贞不和,造成明军在与后金(满清)军队作战中惨败,二人先后被逮,问成死罪。毕竟为官多年,辽东大败的主要责任不在已身,熊廷弼设法找到时为内阁中书的汪文言,让他帮忙暗地疏通关节,救自己一命。 汪文言此人在《明史》中无单传,在列传一百三十二中合于杨涟等人传中,附于魏大中传后。汪文言非进士出身,由县吏起家,为人侠气有智,有纵横之才,早先以监生身份入京,曾用计破朝中齐、楚、浙三党,是个老于政治谋划并能在朝中救人捞人的资深政治掮客。由于知道汪文言与帅爷王安关系特好,魏忠贤杀掉王安后就剥夺其当时监生的身份,并一度把他收监。汪文言大能人,未几通过关节出狱,凭借昔日名声广游于朝官之间,终日车马盈门。首辅叶向高很欣赏汪文言才智,起用他为内阁中书。有了这种身份,他得以与赵南星、杨涟、左光斗、魏大中等东林派正人交游密切。 汪文言为搭救熊廷弼,四处打通关节,最后七拐八绕,竟与魏忠贤搭上桥,让大公公出手相救。魏公公本人与熊廷弼没有直接的过节和深仇大恨,派人捎口信,说只要拿出四万两白银,熊廷弼会马上得以释放。经过好几个“中间人”,可能银子数目最后到达熊家时成了十万两,家里凑不齐这么多银子,熊家只能哭穷表示拿不起。 这事,如果放在别的贪官身上,拿人钱财与人消灾,不见银子不出手,也就罢了。老魏公公心狭,听说熊尚书这么一个大官连这点银子都舍不得出,非常生气。不久,他又打听到自己老对头汪文言替熊廷弼四处活动,灵感突现,决定以熊案为突破口,把朝中与自己作对的诸位带头人一网打尽。 先行一步,阉党的大理寺丞徐大化率先劾奏杨涟、左光斗“党同伐异”、招权纳贿。魏忠贤矫诏,先把二人抓起来。很快,汪文言被逮入狱。 主审此案的阉党许显纯、田尔耕等人捏造罪名,把御史周宗建、黄尊素等四人削籍。
