Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Xue Lian was a little puzzled by Wei Zhongxian's excited expression, and he asked Wei Zhongxian strangely, "Why does Wei Gong have such an expression?"

Wei Zhongxian didn't answer Xue Lian's question, but asked back with a smile: "Xue Hou has this plan, so what's the plan now?"

"Of course it is to write a self-defense memorial to the emperor." Xue Lian immediately replied with certainty.

After hearing Xue Lian's words, Wei Zhongxian immediately burst out laughing.He shook his head and sighed: "Xue Hou is still so loyal and honest! Now, with this sharp weapon, why not catch those Donglin thieves all at once?"

Xue Lian was even more puzzled, and he asked curiously, "Why did Duke Wei say that?"

Xue Lian came to Wei Zhongxian tonight for a reason.The disaster relief plan discussed by Wu Shigong and Xue Lian just now is not surprising.According to the wisdom of people in this era, they may also come up with it.Even if you can't think of it, as an official, you can't think of a way to tyrannically collect money from the victims?However, there are several difficulties in this method. One is that the victims have already been affected by the disaster, and if you go to collect money, it is easy to cause mutiny among the victims; How much money to pay.Therefore, no one wants to take such a thankless approach.

The disaster relief plan discussed by Wu Shigong and Xue Lian just solved this problem.They solved the money problem by asking the victims to sell part of the house land.What's even better is that every step of this plan can be justified, and in terms of the income of the victims, according to the disaster relief standards of the Ming Dynasty, they can also get a part of the benefits.

However, not everyone is rational.What if some disaster victims are unwilling to pay for the ruins, but they are also unwilling to clean up the ruins themselves?Some disaster victims just don't want to sell their land, what should we do?Although some disaster victims are willing to sell their land, what should they do if they want to open their mouths to the government lions?In this regard, Xue Lian's countermeasure is to use the factory guards led by Wei Zhongxian and the various military divisions that he can directly order, these violent departments, to severely suppress these unruly people.There are sound reasons for this approach.The government has given you money to rebuild your home, and you still have to work as a "nail house" to obstruct the government's disaster relief work. How can you not suppress you troublesome people?

Therefore, the purpose of Xue Lian's visit to Wei Zhongxian tonight is to hope that the factory guard under Wei Zhongxian's control will cooperate with his disaster relief work.As for the impeachment of those officials who were not good for their own disaster relief, because of the current disaster relief plan as a confidence, Xue Lian presented the memorial to the emperor to defend himself.At most, they would fight with these officials, and in the end, no one could do anything about it.What surprised Xue Lian was that Wei Zhongxian, after listening to his plan, proposed a political solution after the long examination.That is to use his own disaster relief plan as a weapon to completely overthrow those officials who impeached himself and Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian explained to Xue Lian his political plan in detail: Wei Zhongxian divided Xue Lian's disaster relief work into two stages.The time of the first stage is from the explosion of Wanggong Factory to the start of cleaning up the ruins.At this stage, Xue Lian's main disaster relief work was to rescue people.For example: supply food and drink to the victims; treat the wounded; prevent the spread of diseases caused by the decay of dead bodies, etc.He told Xue Lian not to be too busy writing the memorial of self-defense, but to still do those practical and hard-working behaviors.Wei Zhongxian will find an opportunity to tell Xue Lian's credit in front of the emperor.After all, so far, no victims have starved to death after the disaster.There has also been no spread of the outbreak.This is Xue Lian's great contribution.You know, the big explosion at Wanggong Factory happened in May, and Mayday not only sings, but also because of the hot weather, it is easy to cause the plague to happen.

Xue Lian's work in the second stage was to clear up the ruins and rebuild the house.After the ruins were almost cleared up, and Xue Lian had a part of the contract for rebuilding the houses of the victims, Xue Lian then made a memorial for self-defense.Xue Lian's self-defense will be very convincing because of the actual results of clearing up the ruins at the disaster site and the material proof of the house reconstruction contract.Moreover, Wei Zhongxian had learned from Dongchang that the political storm launched against Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian this time was mainly launched by Donglin Party officials in series.By that time, the impeachment memorials of all the officials of the Donglin Party who were connected in series had basically been submitted to the emperor.At that time, Wei Zhongxian told the emperor about Xue Lian's down-to-earth behavior, and compared with the impeachment of those officials, the emperor must have expressed great dislike for those Donglin party officials who only cared about attacking political opponents and disregarded the great cause of disaster relief. .Wei Zhongxian would also selectively hand over to the emperor those impeachment memorials with more violent words, and even some memorials that offended the emperor's dignity (the officials of the Ming Dynasty all had a bad taste for offending the emperor's dignity, and the representative figure was Hai Rui ), Longyan was furious, the emperor would definitely let Wei Zhongxian deal with these officials seriously.At this time, Wei Zhongxian, who is holding the Shangfang sword, will make full use of the factory guards in his hands to arrest these officials, and under the torture and implication of these officials, all the officials of the Donglin Party will be wiped out from the court .Those leading Donglin party officials will be punished and their families will be ruined.In the end, Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth a little bit, thinking in his heart: "Who dares to fight me hard?" It is true that no one is more ruthless than Wei Zhongxian.Do not believe?Then there is a kind of everyone take off your pants and take a look!

Xue Lian was dumbfounded when he heard that.Wei Zhongxian led the snake out of the hole at the beginning, then attacked the opponent later, made a final decision, and finally took advantage of the victory to pursue.It is simply a perfect textbook of political struggle.What is particularly amazing is that Wei Zhongxian found such a chance to kill his opponent from a place where there is almost no chance. His political sense and skills are absolutely first-rate.

Wu Shigong also never imagined at home that he was a pawn in this political game.Just for his own money-making career, he proposed this disaster relief plan.However, Wei Zhongxian, a top expert in political games, immediately realized the importance of the plan proposed by his little pawn, and brought the political role of his little pawn's plan to the extreme.It can be said to be: a master has a soldier, and a low hand has a life.

However, Xue Lian couldn't bear Wei Zhongxian's ruthless attack in the end.After nearly 20 years of friendship, Wei Zhongxian of course noticed Xue Lian's hesitant expression immediately, and he also understood Xue Lian's thoughts.He said to Xue Lian, "Xue Hou, the miscellaneous family will show you something." Then, he took out a bunch of keys from his side, walked to a cabinet next to him, unlocked the cabinet, and took out a few keys from inside. Zhi said to Xue Lian: "Look, Hou Xue, these are all made by the children of Dongchang. They are all the copies of the memorial prepared by those Donglin thieves this time to impeach us."

Xue Lian took the papers and read them carefully.The more you look at it, the more excited you become.In the end, if Xue Lian hadn't known that these papers were important documents, Xue Lian couldn't help tearing them up angrily.These contents are full of insults to Xue Lian and Wei Zhongxian. Of course, the level of the people who wrote these insults is also very high, and there is no curse word in the insults.It is worthy of being a Jinshi who is well-educated and well-educated.But scolding himself and Wei Zhongxian is fine, Xue Lian is also mentally prepared for this.What is even more irritating is that in these contents, there are vigorous accusations against the emperor, and some words are even a curse on the emperor.How can Xue Lian, who has a deep-rooted loyalty to the emperor, bear this?Xue Lian threw the pieces of paper on the ground, and said to Wei Zhongxian bitterly, "It's time to cut those rebellious officials and thieves into pieces."

With the approval of Xue Lian, Wei Zhongxian was also very satisfied.At this time, the little eunuch who arranged the dinner knocked on the door and came in, carried a small table full of dishes, and placed two chairs facing each other beside the table.Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian did well face to face.

Wei Zhongxian said to Xue Lian: "Hou Xue has worked hard in disaster relief these days, and today I have a good drink with the miscellaneous family."

Xue Lian also replied with a smile: "Now, the Marquis can be regarded as letting go of one thing on his mind. Today, I will not return home until I am drunk with Duke Wei."
