The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 108 Thirty-two Yanguan went to jail! What a good dog!
He Tianqu is just the first!
Dongchang and Xichang led Tiqi to arrest people wildly!

This move quickly caused an uproar!

The first person to receive it was none other than Li Dongyang, a full-fledged scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion!

This sick bachelor is currently recuperating at home. His old illness has relapsed. Today, he suddenly coughed violently in the duty room and coughed up bloody sputum. Then his vision went dark and he fainted.

When he woke up, he was already at home, with two royal doctors taking care of him.

After all, he was a veteran of the Four Dynasties. No matter how much the little emperor hated him, he still needed to be treated as he should be, so as to avoid being gossiped about and damaging the little emperor's reputation.

After Li Dongyang asked two imperial doctors to diagnose and treat him, he sent someone to send them away. He sat alone in the duty room and fell into deep thought.

Throughout his life, he has been walking on thin ice, not knowing where the future lies.

Li Dongyang is different from ordinary officials. He is a true pride of heaven, destined to be extraordinary from birth.

In the first year of Jingtai, Li Dongyang was called a child prodigy by the capital because he could write calligraphy with a large diameter. Emperor Jingtai personally ordered a test and gave Li Dongyang fruit banknotes.

At that time, Li Dongyang was only three years old!

Later, Li Dongyang gained the attention of Emperor Jingtai. He taught about the great principles of "Shangshu" and became a disciple of the great Confucian Zhan Yu. Later, he entered Shuntian Prefecture to study as a scholar. He studied under the great Confucian Li Chun together with Liu Daxia and Yang Yiqing. He then passed the provincial examination and the general examination. Achieved first place in the second division of high school and palace exams, and was selected as a Shujishi!
Shujishi, also known as Shuchang, is affiliated to the Hanlin Academy. It is a position available to talented people among the new scholars. They are close ministers of the emperor and are responsible for drafting edicts and interpreting scriptures for the emperor. They are important assistant ministers of the Ming Dynasty cabinet. One of the sources!

In other words, the starting point of his birth, Li Dongyang, exceeded that of most of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty. This also destined that he, Li Dongyang, would not be a mediocre person like most of these officials.

After that, from the first year of Chenghua to the fourth year of Hongzhi, Li Dongyang kept working in the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu. In the end, he was not reused in Chenghua Dynasty. Instead, because his parents died of illness one after another, Li Dongyang had to abide by the system. As a result, his wife , brother, and son died one after another, which was a heavy blow to Li Dongyang!
During the past ten years, Li Dongyang was heartbroken, his health began to deteriorate, and he suffered from various diseases.

It was not until the eleventh year of Hongzhi that the crown prince Zhu Houzhao left the cabinet to study. Li Dongyang was promoted to the title of Prince Shaobao, Minister of Rites and Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. He officially entered the cabinet and was responsible for teaching the prince.

But in the same year, his fourth brother Li Dongming... died!

In fact, Li Dongyang has asked God more than once, why does the bigger his official position gets, the more his relatives die?
parents!

brothers!

wife!

son!

daughter!

Almost dead now!

Li Dongyang originally had three sons, but all of them died of illness without exception, so he could only adopt one son from his younger brother to take care of this sick boy!

He Li Dongyang worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, why did he end up like this?

Of course, God will not answer, and Li Dongyang did not get an answer.

When he thought of this, Li Dongyang suddenly laughed, his laughter as terrifying as a night owl.

Because he suddenly remembered that Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao was actually in the court hall, telling all the court officials that there was no God at all, and that the so-called celestial phenomena were actually the laws of heaven and earth!
Hahaha...how ridiculous!

What is Tang Hao doing?
Question the imperial power!

Question the legitimacy of the emperor!
If Tang Hao doesn't die, then who should?

The divine right of kings, the influence of heaven and man, is indeed proposed by Confucianism, but the reason why Confucianism proposed it is because of the need for imperial power!
Why did Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty "depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism"?
Isn’t it just to strengthen the power in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and stabilize the rule of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

Did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believe in the divine right of kings?

Did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believe in telepathy between heaven and man?

He only believes that this Confucianism can help him better control the people!
As for whether God is real or not, it has nothing to do with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The power in his hands is real, and that's enough!

There are many emperors, generals and ministers in the past dynasties, and there are many talented and beautiful people. Have they not all doubted the so-called "divine right of kings", the so-called "influence of heaven and man", and the so-called "God"?
They are willing to reuse the famous disciples and spend a lot of money and food to worship the heaven and earth and worship the ghosts and gods in all directions?

Could it be that all these amazing and talented people are just fools, and none of them are as smart as you, Tang Hao?
Haha, it’s not that I don’t know, but I am a smart person and chose to continue to fool him!
Who are you trying to fool?

Fool the common people, fool all the people in the world!

Aren’t the divine right of kings and the connection between heaven and man the best ideological tools to fool the people of the world?
Only by deifying the imperial power and relying on the destiny of heaven will the common people be in awe of the emperor and will not gather people to cause rebellion and trouble!

But you, Tang Hao, seem to be the smartest person in the world, yet you dare to say such treacherous words in public without shame!

If you, Tang Hao, don't die, then who will?
Even if the little emperor wants to protect his wife, can he do so?

This time, Tang Hao had shaken the foundation of Confucianism and stood clearly on the opposite side of Confucianism!

There are so many famous disciples in the world, one spittle from each one is enough to drown the Marquis of Zhongshan!

Qiu Ba, who is just a lucky person and ignorant of the general situation, why do you dare to do this?
Li Dongyang suddenly coughed violently, but he always had a smile on his face.

As long as the Metropolitan Procuratorate exerts its force this time, Tang Hao will definitely die!
And as long as Tang Hao dies and the little emperor no longer has eagles and dogs in his hands, the Zhengde Court will return to the hands of civil servants and gentry just like the Hongzhi Court!

As soon as Tang Hao died, the position of Admiral of the New Army was vacated and returned to the Admiral of the Ministry of War!

After Tang Hao died, there was no one available for the generals. The old British Duke Zhang Mao could not live for a few more years. Zhu Hui, the protector of the country, was an out-and-out dandy. The generals completely lost power and were expelled. Court!

Once Tang Hao died, the little emperor could only reuse the Eight Tigers eunuchs, and this just touched the back of the civil servants and gentry. The next step was to gather the power of the civil servant group and force the little emperor to eradicate the Eight Tigers eunuchs. From then on, the little emperor would Completely reduced to a mascot, military and political power once again returned to the hands of civil servants and gentry!
Just like his father, Emperor Hongzhi, the Zhengde Court will once again become another Hongzhi Court!
The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together!
The emperor governs with an arch, and spreads his branches and leaves with peace of mind.

The government affairs are all handled by civil servants and gentry, creating a peaceful and prosperous era!
This is the model that the Ming Dynasty should really have!

It's just hateful, I'm afraid I won't live much longer.

Li Dongyang looked at the blood stains on the embroidered handkerchief with a look of loneliness on his face.

However, at this moment, his stepson Li Zhaofan walked in hurriedly.

"Father, something happened!"

"Da Sima has rushed over and wants to see you!"

Da Sima is the honorific title given to the Minister of War, that is, Liu Daxia is here!

Li Dongyang frowned, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

He had a deep friendship with Liu Daxia, but he would not go to each other's mansion easily. After all, this was a taboo matter and easy to confirm.

It is impossible for Liu Daxia not to know such a simple truth.

Moreover, he was seriously ill and was taking rest. If it was a trivial matter, Liu Daxia would not bother him!
But he still came, which only proves that something big happened!
"Please come in, Da Sima!"

"You are waiting outside the door in person, and no one is allowed to disturb or eavesdrop!"

Li Zhaofan nodded solemnly, then invited Liu Daxia into the room, then closed the door and stood guard outside.

Liu Daxia's face was full of anxiety, but when he saw the bloody embroidered handkerchief in Li Dongyang's hand, his heart trembled.

"Xi Ya, your body..." "It's okay!" Li Dongyang waved his hand, "Let's talk about business. What happened?"

Liu Daxia sighed and said something shocking.

"Just now, Dongchang and Xichang mobilized in full force and captured thirty-two censors in Beijing!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Dongyang's expression changed drastically.

"Who are they?"

"It can't be... He Tianqu and the others, right?"

Liu Daxia nodded bitterly.

"Including He Tianqu, thirty-two of them are our people!"

"Also, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mou Bin, personally led Tiqi out of the capital. He should be heading towards the other four of us!"

Hearing this, Li Dongyang couldn't bear it anymore and punched the edge of the bed hard!

"What a bastard!"

"Hundreds of officials were impeached and nearly a thousand impeachment memorials were sent to them. Why did they arrest our people?"

Li Dongyang roared at the top of his lungs, a ferocious look faintly visible on his face!

Thirty-two censors, this is all his power in the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

Originally, Li Dongyang thought that the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate was dispatched to impeach Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan. He had his own people mixed in, and it would definitely not attract the attention of the little emperor.

But who would have expected that the little emperor not only noticed it, but also directly counterattacked, arresting all the thirty-six people who were impeaching Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao!
what is this?
A knock or a warning?

Or maybe you want to take action against him, Li Dongyang?

In an instant, Li Dongyang's face became extremely ugly!

"Xiya, why don't we stop!"

A look of panic appeared on Liu Daxia's face.

He was not a fool, so he couldn't tell that the little emperor had raised a butcher's knife against the two of them!
Hundreds of officials were impeached and thousands of impeachment memorials were sent, but only thirty-six of them were arrested, no more, no less!
The meaning of this beating was so obvious that Liu Daxia, the chief commander of the Ministry of War, began to panic.

In fact, Liu Daxia really wanted Tang Hao to die. After all, Tang Hao beat him last time and crushed his pride and dignity as the chief commander of the Ministry of War!
However, whether Tang Hao dies or not, Liu Daxia himself cannot be implicated!

Damn it, because he killed Tang Hao and got involved in it, isn't that "perishing together"?
The grudge between him and Tang Hao is far from reaching this level!

Therefore, Liu Daxia had the intention to retreat at this moment and wanted to stop in time to prevent the situation from becoming even more uncontrollable.

Li Dongyang's anger affected his condition and he coughed violently again.

The ferocious coughing look makes people shudder at just one glance, as if he is about to cough out his lungs!
After a long time, Liu Daxia heard his answer!

"Close hand?"

"How can we stop now?"

"He Tianqu and the others have been arrested. His Majesty must know that it was our work!"

Li Dongyang said with a ferocious expression: "To stop now is to surrender and let others slaughter you!"

"But, what should we do now?" Liu Daxia asked anxiously.

If He Tianqu and others are arrested, it is very likely that they will be betrayed. This is what Liu Daxia is really worried about.

As long as the little emperor gets the confessions of He Tianqu and others, Liu Daxia and Li Dongyang will be really in trouble.

Even if he won't be dismissed from office because of his status as a veteran of the Four Dynasties, he will inevitably be expelled from the court and rushed to Nanjing to retire!
Such a result was not what Liu Daxia wanted to see.

In fact, Liu Daxia and Li Dongyang had submitted petitions to resign many times.

But taking the initiative to resign and being expelled from the court are two different concepts, okay?

If you take the initiative to resign and become an official, although you have left the court, your previous party members are still there, and the connections you left behind are still there. It is not impossible to support some juniors in the future, and you can live a better life in the local area.

As for the kind of person who was expelled from the court, even a fool can see that he has done evil to the emperor. Who dares to tell you about his old relationship? I wish I could draw a clear line with you as soon as possible. Life in the local government will be difficult in the future!
There is an earth-shaking difference between voluntarily resigning and being passively dismissed from office!
"Don't panic!"

Li Dongyang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stopped coughing, and his face returned to calm.

"He Tianqu and the others are all smart people, and smart people won't do stupid things!"

"I think they should know in their hearts that as long as they shut up, we will find a way to save them, otherwise they will definitely die!"

"So, what we have to do now is to put pressure on His Majesty the Emperor to let go of He Tianqu and others, and use this matter to ignite the anger of civil servants and gentry, and then burn this fire on Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao, and take the opportunity to Get rid of it and kill two birds with one stone!"

Liu Daxia was startled when he heard this, and then his face became filled with shock.

"Xi Ya, do you want to..."

"Chaotianque!"

At the same time, the Nuange of Qianqing Palace.

The little emperor has not rested yet, but is talking to Zhang Yong, studying the examples given by Tang Hao.

This time Zhang Yong went out to verify the case, but only completed a small part, and most of it was not checked to see if it was true.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Kuan hurried in and reported in a low voice the results of the battle between East Factory and West Factory.

"Your Majesty, all thirty-two imperial censors in Beijing have been arrested and brought to justice!"

"In addition, Tishuai personally led Tiqi out of the capital and went to the remaining four people!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded happily after hearing this.

"Well done!"

"Next, you won't be able to sit still over there, right?"

"I can't sit still anymore!" Chen Kuan said with a smile: "Liu Daxia, the Chief Sima of the Ministry of War, went to visit Li Dongyang's house overnight!"

Now that they have decided to take action, the key figures cannot be let go. Liu Daxia and Li Dongyang have long been closely monitored by Dongchang and Xichang.

Upon hearing this, the little emperor's face suddenly darkened.

"What a good dog for civil servants and gentry!"
