Chapter 6 Chapter 6 A book blocks the way

Daming's sky suddenly brightened a lot. Eighteen-year-old Chongzhen felt youthful.Although there are vaguely discordant voices coming in from the side affairs, but even if there are huge troubles in the side affairs, is it bigger than Wei Zhongxian's wolf ambition?As long as there are no problems with the Ming Dynasty, there will be no problems. The sky will send a great mission to the people, and they must first suffer from their hearts and minds, toil their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies... Zeng Yiqi can't... Chongzhen sighed, what fate, after so many years in the Ming Dynasty, I finally waited for me to come out of the mountain .Both are emperors, why is there such a big difference between me and my elder brother?

Of course, killing Wei Zhongxian is only the first step in Chongzhen's career as an emperor.Since then, the wave of political reckoning that has lasted for more than a year has been brought into full swing by the trader Chongzhen, and it is a joy. Cui Chengxiu, who had been dismissed and returned home, was fired again.A legend has been passed on throughout the court: the first emperor had just died, and all the ministers went to the palace to cry for sacrifices. Wei Zhongxian summoned Cui Chengxiu alone, and the two closed the door and muttered for a long time.Wei Zhongxian said that the brothers are against each other, and Cui Chengxiu said that the eldest brother will wait a little longer, fearing that there will be righteous soldiers from outside.Because of Cui Chengxiu's unresolute attitude, Wei Zhongxian threw him out as a scapegoat.But that being said, Cui Chengxiu is not a good bird, it is really a disaster to keep such a person.He used to be the head of the Ministry of War, and even though he has stepped down, he is still influential in the army.

On the ninth day of November, only three days after Wei Zhongxian hanged himself to death, a member of the household department, Wailang Wang Shoulu, published a memorial to expose Cui Chengxiu's murderable crimes.What an excuse to mint money and falsely preach the imperial decree, that's a lot of crimes.Before Chongzhen had time to read it, he issued an edict: Check it out for me, and punish me severely! So the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple acted urgently. Under Chongzhen's eyes, the Ming state machine became a Patriot missile, which accurately and unquestionably hit Cui Chengxiu.Cui Chengxiu also deeply understands what it means to have dead lips and cold teeth.Life... In the end, that's all there is to life. From the beginning to the end, the river flows to the peak, and the river turns to the east. It's just that I always think that the perfect moon will be year after year. Alas, it seems that when I have to accept my fate, I have to accept my fate.On November 11th, Cui Chengxiu ate the most luxurious feast in his life, hugged his mistress Xiao Lingxi who was desperately struggling to leave, both drank arsenic, and went to the Western Paradise together.

Of course, Ke's don't want to escape the pursuit of Patriot missiles.Six days later, Hakka was escorted back to the Palace Laundry Bureau for quarantine inspection.The results of the review were shocking: in addition to the problem of life style, Ke Shi also committed the crime of treason. She used improper means to impregnate eight court ladies in a short period of time, trying to give birth to a baby boy before the death of the late emperor, and then a baby boy. The Ming Dynasty version of Lu Buwei's story changed the color of the Ming Dynasty unknowingly, but everyone didn't realize it.Fortunately, the late emperor was wise, and died decisively before the baby boy was born, which made Daming Jiangshan die forever.

Ke's evil will soon be rewarded with evil.According to the history of the Ming Dynasty: (Ke Shi) was flogged to death immediately after confessing, and his son Hou Guoxing was arrested by Jin Yiwei and ordered to prison.A few days later, Hou Guoxing was also executed. Undoubtedly, Chongzhen's thunderous tactics showed the determination of a young man with a fresh blood.He deeply believed that he was invincible, and that ZTE Daming was just around the corner.But he was wrong, a book blocked his way at the most critical moment.This book is called "Three Dynasties Essential Code".

"Three Dynasties Essential Code" is Wei Zhongxian's work, which commented on the three cases of Wanli, Taichang, and Tianqi in the three dynasties of Wanli, Hongwan, and Yigong. Those who were criticized in these three cases were praised one by one by Wei Zhongxian , As a result, most of these people defected to Wei Zhongxian's sect.On the contrary, the senior officials Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong and others who presided over the review of the three cases were hit hard, and their lives were so bad that their lives were worse than death, and some simply died. Now that Wei Zhongxian is dead, according to Chongzhen's thunderous means, it is imperative to set things right, but the terrible thing is that the identity of "Three Dynasties Essential Code" is a bit special.Although it is Wei Zhongxian's work, the first emperor wrote a preface on it, which is "Imperial Preface".How to deal with this work appointed by the first emperor, Chongzhen felt quite wary.

He has already violated the late emperor's last wish and won Wei Zhongxian, and now he is going to go further against the late emperor's last wish to win this book that the late emperor ordered?Chongzhen hesitated a lot.In the entire Ming Dynasty, everyone was forbidden to talk about "Three Dynasties Essential Code", and everyone had a layer of window paper in their hearts. In 1628, the first year of Chongzhen, in March, Bie Rulun, head of the Wuxuan Department of the Nanjing Ministry of War, pierced the window paper.The people in the Ministry of War had no scruples when they spoke, loudly yelling that those treacherous villains in the "Three Dynasties" have become the righteous people appointed by the late emperor, and under Wei Zhongxian's instigation, those who persecuted Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou Isn't it absurd that the so-called confessions of others are all grandiosely recorded in the tonic?In addition, Cui Chengxiu has been convicted of ransacking his home, and one of his essays is still listed in the list of important books. Doesn't this violate the emperor's holy will?change!This "Three Dynasties Essential Code" must be changed.

Chongzhen was noncommittal.Of course, it is more accurate to say that he is indecisive.Bie Rulun's words undoubtedly put him and the late emperor in a conflict situation, and he didn't like this feeling very much.Deep in his heart, he still hopes to rule the world with filial piety, and he doesn't want himself to be an unfilial and unkind person in the eyes of the world. However, if the "Three Dynasties Essentials" is not moved, the work of setting things right will not be possible.Not to mention anything else, how did Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, who are quite prestigious in the court and the people, be rehabilitated?Also, when it comes to revising the "Three Dynasties Essential Code", how to change it?Whole affirmation or partial affirmation?Is it affirming Wei Zhongxian's or the late emperor's?The terrible thing is that the two of them, as spiritual confidants, basically have me in you, and you in me——Brother, you are so fucking confused!

Here Chongzhen has not yet made up his mind, and there are ministers adding fuel to the fire.A month later, Ni Yuanlu, an attendant of the Imperial Academy, made another appeal, saying that "Three Dynasties Yaodian" was the product of Wei Zhongxian's murder by borrowing history. On the whole, it is a poisonous book, which has no value of revision at all. If it is revised, it will instead It is counterproductive to make the world mistakenly think that the emperor partially affirms Wei Zhongxian.So what he means is to destroy this book nationwide, and then the Imperial Academy will rewrite a "Record of the Apocalypse" to set the record straight.

what to do?It seems that this matter cannot be dealt with coldly.Chongzhen suffered from insomnia and headaches every night. According to the official procedures of the Ming Dynasty, the memorials of the ministers and workers generally advanced to the cabinet, and the cabinet held a meeting to discuss and then voted on behalf of the emperor to draft an edict.After Ni Yuanlu's memorabilia was sent in, the cabinet assistant minister Lai Zongdao's face was not good-looking, and the attendant of the Imperial Academy was just a idle job for drinking tea and talking, so why take this hot potato when you have nothing to do?You, Ni Yuan, once you are a counter-revolutionary prostitute, you are done with your mouth addiction, and my next job is not easy: how can I draft an edict on behalf of the emperor?The emperor has no idea yet, what can I do for his old man.What's more terrible is that everyone on the earth knows that I have an inexplicably ambiguous relationship with Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu, you...don't you just burn me to the fire?It's not appropriate for me to express my stance.

After all, Lao Lai is Lao Lai, and he knows the knowledge of being a deputy-not expressing his position is the best position.Therefore, Lai Zongdao, a cabinet minister, drafted an edict on behalf of the emperor: this request is of great importance, and the Ministry of Rites will discuss it in detail with the officials of the History Museum.This old draft is like a Tai Chi master playing push hands, gently throwing a time bomb at the officialdom of Ming Dynasty, everyone reacted instinctively amidst the sound of the explosion.First of all, as a clear talk institution, the Imperial Academy reacted most violently.It is also the minister of the Hanlin Academy, but there are also many gangs.Attendant Sun Zhixie seemed to have become Ni Yuanlu's natural enemy. He ran to the cabinet with "Three Dynasties Essential Code" and cried like a concubine, saying that "Three Dynasties Essential Code" must not be destroyed. Three Dynasties Essential Code" who is the second minister and rebellious minister of the Ming Dynasty!Even the emperor can't do it, "you will lose your filial piety in the ancestor's examination, and you will lose your friends in the Xi Temple." Why is the emperor so cruel and cruel? !Yu Shi Wu Huan immediately confronted him, saying that he used the word "imperial system" to overwhelm the emperor and do nothing. The servant said that Sun Zhixie was rude and harbored evil intentions. Please arrest him as soon as possible!And Huo Weihua, the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs and Military Affairs, is not so clean. When he overturned the third case, he was able to rise every step of the way because he catered to Wei Zhongxian everywhere.In "Three Dynasties Essentials", he is a positive image. If there is really a "Revelation of Apocalypse", I am afraid that there will be no role for him on the Ming stage in the future.Therefore, Huo Weihua said that in principle he agreed with Sun Zhixie's speech, and that Yu Shi Wu Huancai had evil intentions. Please arrest him quickly! Chongzhen's headache got worse when he watched the performance of these cadres.Give me a pair of insightful eyes, let me see the world clearly, plainly, and truly.He called Lai Zongdao and asked him to give a clear judgment. Lai Zongdao said everything to be obeyed by the master, but Chongzhen opened his eyes wide and said that now the master wants to listen to you. Lai Zongdao lay on the ground: I dare not. Why dare not?How dare you!Let me ask you, did you intend to show me your ticket?The requested matter is of great importance, and the Ministry of Rites will discuss with the officials of the History Museum in detail?What a big tone!Did I say that? ! I am also sharing worries for the emperor.The emperor's dragon body is unwell, and he has a headache every night... I'm not dead yet! Also, how did you draft the memorial to Yu Shi Wu Huan, saying that the Imperial Academy attendant talked about Sun Zhixie?Don't be too demanding, and said that he has already returned to his hometown, please, come out and tell a lie, don't be so mentally retarded, okay? Lai Zongdao's whole body was already too soft.Chongzhen looked at him like a knife: I think you are Wei Dang... Lai Zongdao took the initiative to take off the black gauze cap on his head, and raised his hands towards Chongzhen, which meant that I resigned. Can I resign? Chongzhen: I don't accept your hat, it's dirty.Don't you know I'm a clean freak? On the fifth day of May, Chongzhen decided to destroy the "Three Dynasties Essential Code".Before making this decision, he knelt in front of the portraits of his ancestors, especially the portrait of Xi Zong, crying until he burst into tears and snot.Indeed, Chongzhen was a clean freak.Mental cleanliness.The terrible thing is that even Chongzhen himself could not have imagined that an emperor's mental cleanliness would have such a profound impact on this country.In the next seventeen years, Chongzhen, a mentally obsessed with cleanliness, let Daming Jiangshan be lost bit by bit from his own hands.He blamed "the ministers are all ministers of the subjugated country", and he was alone but could not end well. It is really embarrassing, full of imagination, complicated mood, love and hatred.Chongzhen thus became the most virtuous but most cat-like emperor in China in terms of spiritual temperament.A cat's life revolves around its own tail until it dies, and so does Chongzhen. At this moment, Chongzhen feels that he is a tragic hero, trying to turn the tide but he has to bear the eternal infamy.His posture of holding "Three Dynasties Essentials" to the brazier before throwing it away is so classic that it makes people cry.Undoubtedly, it was a phoenix nirvana move. The ministers had already cried together, but Chongzhen felt that the crying was not miserable and loud enough to show the important practical and far-reaching historical significance of his action.Fortunately, Ni Yuanlu, the negative example, hugged Chongzhen's legs tightly as a snatching gesture, so that Chongzhen's performance had a counterpart. He kicked Ni Yuanlu, and Ni Yuanlu performed very hard. . When the "Three Dynasties Essentials" was really burning in the brazier, the entire Ming Dynasty suddenly cried loudly, and all the officials suddenly realized that the emperor was really not just putting on a show, his grandma, it was real. An era thus ended in the flames.A new era has begun unexpectedly.How many old people will cry, and how many new people will laugh, everything is in the emperor's mind.But is the emperor ready?Does he really understand what he wants and doesn't want? have no idea.neither knows.The emperor is nineteen years old this year, a false age.
