Chapter 13 aftermath

From the above chapters, it can be said that the ins and outs of the three cases in the late Ming Dynasty have been roughly mentioned.Strictly speaking, these three cases are purely court cases, and the reason why they have been delayed for so long and involved so much is because of the dispute between clans formed in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. .After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, there was an imperial decision to reverse the case, including the rights and wrongs of the three cases, so it seems that there should be no repetition.However, although the three cases have been temporarily closed, the opinions of the sects are still there, and the aftermath is still lurking. Not only did the Chongzhen Dynasty still have its own way, but even in Nanming, which was settled in a corner, the dispute between the three cases was still being exploited.

The aftermath of the three cases came secretly from Wang Yongguang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials in Chongzhen.This Wang Yongguang was actually appointed by the Chongzhen Emperor as the assistant of Han Yu, Li Biao, and Qian Longxi, and asked him to participate in the pre-determined counter-case work. That aspect of everyone.On the surface, he was helping to settle the case, but in fact he tried his best to restrain and obstruct it, but he did it very secretly, so he was not noticed.It should be said that Qian Longxi felt it a little bit, and often had disputes with him. Han Yu always acted as a peacemaker between them, and actually played a role in covering Wang Yongguang.

After the rebellion case was decided, Wang Yongguang was still playing his role. He did it very cleverly. He did not mention the rights and wrongs between the three cases, but only secretly tried to attack the host who decided the rebellion case, and waited for the opportunity to become the person who was listed as the rebel case. Seek reinstatement to strengthen your power.Han Yu treated him well, so Wang Yongguang let him go, but he was determined to bring Qian Longxi down.He colluded with Wen Tiren, who gradually grew up later, and joined forces with the censors Gao Jie and Shi Yu who had conflicts with Qian Longxi, imagining how Yan Song framed Xia Yan, and used Yuan Chonghuan to kill Mao Wenlong, killing Qian Longxi .When the case entered the most tense stage, they had already ordered people to clean up the law ground in Xishi, because it was expected that Qian Longxi might be executed there.But the facts did not make them get what they wanted. In the end, Qian Longxi was saved in the end.

The family dispute continued until Chongzhen was martyred, and when the Ming court remained in the south of the Yangtze River, the family dispute continued.Ma Shiying, who joined the cabinet in Nanming to assist the government, used the method of overturning the case to gather his party members to fight against Shi Kefa.After he entered the cabinet, he appointed many people who were listed against the case, and Ruan Dacheng, Yang Weiyuan and others were all given important tasks.Not only that, he also publicly declared that the "Three Dynasties Essential Code" should be rewritten to clarify right from wrong.At the same time, the deceased who were listed in the rebellion case, such as Huo Weihua, Liu Tingyuan, Yang Suoxiu, Xu Dahua, Yue Junsheng, etc., were given posthumous titles, sacrifices and sympathies.The rights and wrongs of the three cases seem to be reversed at this point.Later, Zuo Liangyu led the army to the east under the name of "the side of the Qing emperor", and when he preached against Ma Shiying and others, the first charge he gave was to accuse them of overturning the case and rebuilding the "Three Dynasties Essential Code".The clan dispute almost lived and died with the Ming Dynasty imperial family, and the three cases are just the usual topics of clan disputes, and it can also be said to coexist and die with the Ming Dynasty imperial family.
