Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 33 Demolition of Donglin Academy

Qian Qianyi used to be a Qingliu official with a noble status but little real power. Although he is now an inspector, he can be regarded as an imperial envoy of a province. His rank is not high but his weight is no less than that of a governor.

On behalf of the Son of Heaven, he patrolled hunting, made decisions on major matters, and made decisive decisions on small matters. Now that he has become a provincial patrol officer, there are also "Tanhua Jidi", "Born in the Hanlin", "Rulin Lang", "Nanzhili Patrol Censor", Dozens of large banners such as "Admiral's School Poor" cleared the way, and Qian Qianyi, who was sitting in a sedan chair and marching on the Autumn Rain Jiangnan Trail, was majestic and confident.

However, his Donglin friends and disciples didn't know that Qian Qianyi had already served as the censor. They all thought that the leader of Donglin would be unyielding after being escorted to Beijing by Dongchang people, and would even scold Zhu by the school.

Some have even prepared top-quality nanmu coffins for Qian Qianyi, and his students have even prepared filial piety clothes, and they are going to cry in Qian's ancestral hall immediately after Qian Qianyi is unyielding and righteous, to express themselves Respect for the loyal heart of the teacher.

Qian Qianyi was also embarrassed to tell himself that those Donglin party friends and students in the past had changed their families.

Although he never had the idea of ​​dying for the Donglin Party, as the former leader of Donglin, it is too shameless to lead soldiers to demolish Donglin Academy now.

Therefore, Qian Qianyi did not go back to his hometown Changshu first, but went directly to Wuxi.

However, as the censor of Southern Zhili, and in charge of the academic affairs of a province, since he arrived in Wuxi, the current courtyard of Donglin Academy and the former left servant of the Ministry of Officials Chen Yuting, after hearing the news, went directly to greet him outside the ten-mile long pavilion.

"Nowadays the treacherous officials in the court are in power, the factory guards are rampant, your Majesty trusts eunuchs, and countless loyal officials have suffered misfortune because of this. Now Mr. Qian will also be the second Yang Zhonglie. We are really sorry."

Chen Yuting stood outside the long pavilion wearing a Confucian robe, and said to Wang Shengyu, the magistrate of Wuxi County, who also came to welcome the new censor.

Wuxi County Magistrate Wang Shengyu, as Qian Qianyi's student, naturally agreed with Chen Yuting's view that his mentor was about to win the reputation of loyalty, but besides that, he had to put on a show and cry a few times:

"It's pity that my teacher's great career has not been accomplished. He could have shown his ambitions, but now he is framed by eunuchs. If possible, the student would rather not be an official and pay for his teacher's crime."

For Wuxi County Magistrate Wang Shengyu's act of benevolence and filial piety, Chen Yuting naturally praised repeatedly, but when he saw the guard of honor of the patrolling censor appearing in front of him, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

Chen Yuting rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at the censor in the sedan chair curtain, he was even more surprised, and hurriedly pulled Wang Shengyu up: "Zilong, look, is that Mr. Mu Zhai?"

Wang Shengming's name is Zilong, who was admitted by Qian Qianyi in the year of Xinyou, and he is also from the same town as Qian Qianyi's family, so he recognized Qian Qianyi. When he saw that the inspector was Qian Qianyi, he didn't think too much about it. Immediately said happily: "It is the teacher."

Wang Shengming hurried over and made a big salute: "Student Zilong pays respects to his teacher."

Qian Qianyi originally wanted to quietly demolish Donglin Academy directly, but he didn't expect that the Wuxi county magistrate would come to greet him in person. The key is his students. Normally, he would come down to give a few words of encouragement, but now he dare not .

Anyway, he had a lot of students, so it didn't matter if he didn't know this one, so Qian Qianyi directly ordered the accompanying soldiers to drive Wuxi County Magistrate Wang Shengming to the side of the road, and then walked directly towards Donglin Academy.

Wang Shengming was stunned for a moment and said to Chen Yuting who came over: "It's strange, since my benefactor, the old man was not framed and became an official again, it should be worth celebrating, why is he avoiding us?"

"How can I know, but it's really unpredictable here. Since the Holy Majesty hates the Donglin Party, why did he let Mr. Mu Zhai do this provincial inspection?" Chen Yuting said in amazement: "Why does he Going directly to Donglin Academy, does Mr. Mu Zhai want to go directly to Donglin Academy and tell the story of him being escorted to Beijing and remonstrating His Majesty in front of all Donglin Scholars?"

"Maybe it's because I didn't expect that my teacher's coming to Beijing was a blessing in disguise, and he became someone His Majesty cares about. In the future, my students will also benefit a lot in their official careers."

As soon as Wang Shengming said that, he rushed to Donglin Academy with Chen Yuting excitedly.

……

Hearing that the apprentices came to Donglin Academy, the scholars of Donglin Academy gathered outside the courtyard gate. For a moment, with their crowns and robes fluttering, it was as lively as a literati event.

However, Qian Qianyi didn't prepare any wonderful speeches for these Donglin Scholars. He just waved his hand and asked, "Is the oil and firewood ready?"

"Go back to the master, everything is ready."

Qian Qianyi nodded, seeing countless scholars bowing to him, he didn't say no, he directly lowered his face and said: "After investigation, Donglin Academy talked about state affairs indiscriminately, and used the name of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness to steal its name and deceive the world. Bewitching scholars to slander the current emperor, not thinking of educating the villagers, but colluding with the Tartars to do shameless things. Now, as a provincial inspector, I have no choice but to dismantle this poisonous scholarly atmosphere for the imperial court and our Daming Jiangshan community, and tarnish it. Donglin Academy of Confucius and Mencius, come here!"

"exist!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Go in and search, and all the antiques and jade books are confiscated. After an hour, burn this Donglin Academy for me! At the same time, arrest Chen Yuting, Chen Mingxia, Xu Yifan and other leading criminals who discuss state affairs!"

At Qian Qianyi's order, countless soldiers bravely rushed into Donglin Academy.

When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why, and the Donglin Party members, who even dare to scold the emperor, don't know what to do for a while.

It wasn't until they came back to their senses that these people looked at Qian Qianyi with resentment, and the Donglin party finally tasted the taste of being betrayed.

Qian Qianyi didn't dare to look up at them, but some radical Donglin party members rushed over and scolded Qian Qianyi as a traitor. Fortunately, the soldiers around Qian Qianyi responded in time and quickly protected Qian Qianyi, but Someone still hit Qian Qianyi's forehead with a quick stone, and a lot of blood flowed immediately.

Qian Qianyi couldn't help being furious. Now that he had done such a thing, he simply broke the jar and broke with the Donglin Party, so he brazenly ordered the soldiers to beat these Donglin scholars.

For a while, the scholar and the soldiers beat together like this, but after all, the pen could not hit the gun, and within half an hour, all the scholars of the Donglin Party fell to the ground.

Not long after, the Donglin Academy in front of us was engulfed by the fire, and Donglin Academy, as the "sacred place" of the Donglin Party, was demolished, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Donglin Party.

Zhu Youxiao asked Qian Qianyi to do this to make them completely split, and not to let them gradually mature and pose a huge threat to himself, a dictator.

This is politics, the Donglin Party is selfish, and Zhu Youxiao himself is not thinking about his own Ming Dynasty, but he is more in line with the interests of China's progress.

Of course, in addition to this, Zhu Youxiao also successfully transferred the hatred of most people in the Donglin Party to Qian Qianyi.

Under Zhu Youxiao's arrangement, there was another shameless person scolded by the Donglin Party in the world. Instead, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River forgot that the behind-the-scenes messenger was actually him, the king.

At the same time, the Donglin party members are no longer monolithic since then, especially for the young Donglin scholars, which undoubtedly completely destroyed their beliefs. Even the dignified leader of the Donglin, Mr. Muzhai, is so shameless. Is the Donglin Party really that noble?
The collapse of belief is undoubtedly a devastating blow to a political group.
