People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 107 The civil servant group set fire to the palace treasury! A new attack begins! !
Chen Han's actions in the southeast this month quickly spread to the capital.

Everyone in this situation is a human being, and there is no way that there is any lack of intelligence.

So after hearing about Chen Han's actions and the situation of various families being wiped out,
I immediately understood that Chen Han must be secretly colluding with those Japanese pirates.

Although I don’t know how they colluded with each other, the situation is very obvious.

It's Chen Han who is causing trouble. Chen Han is not only making trouble, he may even want to use this to destroy all the big landowners in the southeast.

Everyone knows that they have made a mistake.

It was originally thought that by attracting Japanese pirates to the southeast and turning the southeast into a battlefield, Chen Han would not be able to carry out reforms in the southeast.

Then Chen Han's initial plan to use Southeast as a pilot was ruined, and his morale could be suppressed in one fell swoop.

But I didn't expect that this guy Chen Han would actually take advantage of his plan and collude with the Japanese pirates directly.

And the families in the southeast were killed without the ability to resist.

It's also strange why everyone in the southeast didn't respond at all.

Don't they know how to direct their officers and soldiers to protect those Japanese pirates?
Although some officials knew full well that the Japanese pirates came ashore to massacre the villages because of the indulgence of the large landowners in the southeast.

It is to create a situation where the bandits are self-respecting.

The imperial court was unable to change the situation in the southeast.

But this is completely within your control.

Why is it now controlled by Chen Han?

The Southeast and all the Southeast officials in the imperial court were beaten in such a way that they had no ability to backhand.

Only now did they understand that Chen Han was not that simple.

So in the original secret room.

It's still a pot of charcoal fire.

It's still a sealed room.

Communication is still done by handwriting.

Still like three mutes.

One note after another was passed around.

[I think I can’t be soft this time. Just like the warning to Emperor Jiajing back then, a little warning must be given to the current emperor. Although the emperor was only ten years old and might have been bewitched by Chen Han's thieves, Empress Dowager Li was not an unreasonable person. 】

Then another person also wrote a note.

[This is correct. Besides, Queen Mother Li was severely humiliated by Chen Han. Only by killing Chen Han could his father return from Liaodong. In this regard, her interests are consistent with ours. 】

Another person said.

[But even in the palace, Cao Zhengchun in the palace belongs to that guy Chen Han, can he allow someone to set fire? 】

[Tiger also takes a nap. We must seize the opportunity and complete it. Otherwise, the situation in the southeast will be unsafe and the interests of all of us will be damaged. 】

[Let’s take it one step at a time. If there is a leak in the treasury, it will be enough to warn His Majesty. If not, Queen Mother Li still has a son. 】

[I heard that many maids and eunuchs in the palace are saying that Queen Mother Li is not very satisfied with the ten-year-old Wanli who is now His Majesty. 】

【good. Since we have such ambitions, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the stability of the world, and for the foundation of our ancestors, we must do something against the emperor, eradicate the traitors, and safeguard the unification of the Ming Dynasty. 】

After a few days, they really found an opportunity.

These people are very good at taking advantage of so-called warnings from God.

So that day, the warehouse in the southeast corner, where the vinegar and noodles used by the palace were stored, suddenly leaked.

This water leakage incident caused an eunuch to be burned to death on the spot.

It turned out that this was just a simple fraud case.

But in the eyes of those civil servants, this was a very serious political incident.

When the court came to court, some officials began to express their opinions on this matter.

The ten-year-old Wanli Emperor was actually Chen Han himself. He has not officially attended the morning court in a month.

In this month, the most common thing everyone hears is, if something happens, leave the court early.

At that time, everyone was concerned about the situation in the southeast.

Therefore, all matters, large and small, were handled by the cabinet and did not go to the court. Everyone dealt with them hastily.

But this time when going to court, all civil and military officials were concentrated.

Just as Cao Zhengchun finished reading the eight words, "If something happens, report it early, if nothing happens, withdraw from the court", the censor Yanguan stood up.

"Your Majesty, there was a flood in the palace last night. I watched the sky at night and found that the flood was not easy? This is clearly a hint from God to Your Majesty."

Emperor Wanli, sitting on the dragon chair, sneered slightly when he heard this.

Isn't this what those Confucian officials like to do the most?

From the Western Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu transformed the emperor's power into the divine right of kings.

The emperor was compared to the son of God, and the emperor was compared to the person sent by God to the mortal world to execute for God.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven, the Son of God, once all kinds of strange things or disasters happen in the world, it is God's warning to his son, the Emperor.

At this time, the emperor must fast and bathe devoutly, and then reflect on whether there is something wrong with his rule, and he must quickly issue an edict to punish himself.

After listening to the official's words, Emperor Wanli immediately asked, "You mean, you set the fire last night?"

The official suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. This was wrong. Why didn't His Majesty play his cards according to the routine now?

Below, Zhang Juzheng almost suffered from internal injuries.

However, he was still satisfied with his disciple's reaction.

Zhang Juzheng is an old fox. He knows what officials are going to fart as soon as they twist their butts.

Isn't it just that I want to use the so-called God to send a warning and then talk about the current situation in the southeast?

After all, the leaky warehouse is located in the southeast corner.

After the official broke out in a cold sweat, he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I don't dare, but I want to boldly say that there is leakage of water in the southeast treasury. It is very likely that God is hinting that something is going on in the southeast.

There must be a traitor who appears before the treasury is leaked.

Your Majesty, please investigate these hints thoroughly. "

Emperor Wanli sneered and asked, "What happened in the southeast?"

Apart from myself over there, who else is doing this?

Don’t you just want to say that I borrowed money from Japanese pirates in the southeast and caused unrest in the southeast?
However, he sneered, "I think the southeast is peaceful. There are leaks in the palace from time to time, so there is no need to make a fuss about it."

However, another official immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Governor of Zhejiang Province has been in the southeast for a month. Not only has he failed to solve the problem of Japanese pirates, but he has made them worse.

There are frequent cases of wealthy gentry from big Southeast families being exterminated.

This situation occurred due to the failure of the governor of Zhejiang Province to suppress the Japanese. "

Emperor Wanli replied: "But, have you ever heard that in the past month, Japanese pirates have come ashore to kill all the people?
When Chen Aiqing didn't go to the southeast, Japanese pirates often came ashore to massacre people. Why haven't I heard from you?

Now that the Japanese pirates have only wiped out a few families, you are all cheering.

Why do you think the lives of the big landowners in the southeast are more valuable than the lives of ordinary people? ? "

As he spoke, his face turned cold, and the official hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that!"

Emperor Wanli was furious: "If you don't have this intention, why do you stand up so conspicuously?

I think there is something wrong with your stance!

Someone is here, take him down immediately for review!
Let’s see if he is an official of my court or an official of the landowners in the southeast? "
