('The question is how many people to send as bait.

As Xiong Tingbi said, if you send too much, the rebels are not fools, so how can they have the courage to rob them. But if you send too little, no one will be ambushed, reinforcements will not arrive, and the bait will be eaten up.

For such an operation, Yue Su could not mobilize more troops from the Luoyang garrison for fear of increasing the momentum. He could only use the few guards at hand, and the remaining patrol troops in Yanshi County. The number of these people,

It is definitely higher than that of the rebels, it depends on how to use it. [Search for the latest updates at z

How to rationally use the troops and horses in hand to kill all the rebels? It seems that there are sensible people around you. The idea came from Mr. Xiong. Simply, the power of deployment is also given to you. This is an opportunity to make a crime and meritorious service. You sir

Take good care of yourself. As long as you wipe out all the rebels, I will definitely show you my merits in front of the emperor after returning to Beijing.

Two days later, Yue Su led the escort to Yanshi. As soon as he entered the county, the first thing Yue Su did was to summon Zhang Guobang.

The governor's headquarters was still located in the county government office. He sent people to invite Zhang Guobang to the back hall. All the county government officials were sent to the front, including the county magistrate Hua Tengzhuo, who did not need to accompany him in the back hall. They were all Yue Su's men.

Zhang Guobang entered the back hall, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he heard a "mighty" sound from the left and right. He was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground. He quickly took two steps forward and knelt down on the ground, "Zhang Guobang, a small citizen, is here to see your lord. I don't know that your lord has summoned me."

Why do people come here?"

After saying this, Zhang Guobang kept muttering in his heart, he had not committed any crime, so why was he taken to the lobby? Could it be because of the family property passed down from his ancestors?

Yue Sugao sat on the table, smiled slightly, and said: "Zhang Guobang, our court has sent you here for no other reason than the secrets in your family's ancestral hall and an important case. If you tell our court the truth,

This department will neither take anything from you nor rob you. If you don’t tell the truth, then don’t blame this department for being rude to you!"

There is a treasure in the Zhang family ancestral hall, which is just Yue Su's guess. Now in order to catch the rebels, some details cannot be rigid.

"There are no... no secrets in my ancestral hall..." Zhang Guobang said with twinkling words.

"There are no secrets! Don't you think that I am a three-year-old child? The piece of jade under the spiritual tablet is obviously a trap, and the picture of a lady is the key to opening the trap. What is hidden under the trap? I hope you will still

If you tell me the truth, if you conceal anything, I will also tell you the truth. First, I will dig three feet into the ground in your ancestral hall, and second, I will beat you to pieces!"

Yue Su's words were harsh. Zhang Guobang was even more frightened when he heard this. He quickly said: "Sir, this is absolutely impossible. That is our ancestral hall. Even if you are high and powerful, you cannot do this.

It’s something.”

"Don't worry, our ancestral hall will not dig up your family's ancestral hall, but will dig outside the ancestral hall. Our ancestral hall has many people and time, so we can dig slowly. As for you, our ancestral hall has no time to talk nonsense with you. It's not that you don't

What do you mean? Left and right! Pull aside and hit the eighty big board again!"

"Yes!" Yue Su gave an order, and the officers from both sides rushed forward and pushed Zhang Guobang to the ground. He raised the board and prepared to hit him. However, their eyes were fixed on Yue Su's hand.

Yue Su held the fire sign in his hand. In fact, he had already given instructions not to fight, but only to show off, and only if the fire sign fell to the ground would he be allowed to strike.

But Zhang Guobang didn't know that when he saw Yue Su coming, he shouted loudly: "Sir... the people say you are Qingtian. Is Qingtian so indifferent to human life?"

"Sima Chen, the former magistrate of Yanshi County, died because of a painting of a lady, and the cause of death of Zhenbei Bo Zhang Guozhu was also strange. Both of their deaths can be said to be related to secrets under the ancestral hall. One of them was a court earl, and the other was

Local parents, two people died, what a connection! The main court came to you for routine questioning to find out the real culprit, but you made excuses and concealed it, you must be harboring evil intentions. Could it be that the main court couldn't beat you!"

Having said this, Yue Su was really rude and threw the fire sign to the ground.

Seeing the fire sign fall to the ground, the officer hesitated again, picked up the board, and hit Zhang Guobang hard on the body.

"ah……"

With just two paddles, Zhang Guobang was beaten so hard that he shouted in pain, "Sir, sir...don't hit me...I said...I said..."

"Stop!" Yue Su waved his hand and said: "If you tell the truth as soon as possible, how can you suffer this physical pain?"

"Sir, according to the elders, under the ancestral hall is the property passed down by our ancestors of the Zhang family. I don't know how much it is, but it is definitely not a small number. If you want to open the treasure, you must break the mechanism. The inheritance passed down by our ancestors

There is a picture of a lady, and it is said that as long as you understand this picture, you can open the trap. Maybe the descendants of my Zhang family are stupid, and only one person has figured it out in more than ten generations. There were also people who wanted to forcefully break the trap, but the jade stone was so hard.

, even the stone platform under the spiritual throne is difficult to shake. Some people have also thought about the idea of ​​forcible excavation, but after all, it is an ancestral temple, and the clan members firmly opposed it, so they gave up. There is only one copy of the picture of the lady, which is passed down from generation to generation and is owned by the family head.

It is passed on from son to daughter, but if there is an heir, it will be passed on to the male of the nearest branch. Everything I said is true, and I hope you will see it clearly. The treasure under the ancestral hall is the ancestral property of my Zhang family. I hope you will not covet it.

Forced excavation is absolutely unacceptable." Unable to withstand the criticism, Zhang Guobang finally told the truth.

What he said was pretty much what Yue Su expected. There really was a treasure hidden under the ancestral hall. If so, it was even more important to dig it up. Yue Su didn't care about the Zhang family's property, but only by doing this could he lead to killing.

Dragon Gang.

At that moment, Yue Su led his men and horses to the Zhang family ancestral hall and directly sealed off the ancestral hall courtyard. The soldiers and horses lived in the courtyard. Trespassing was not allowed in the ancestral hall hall. They were only ordered to dig outside the ancestral hall. He wanted to dig in from the ground.

Despite the large number of people in Yuesu, this project was not accomplished in a day. Coupled with the cold weather and hard soil, it was even more laborious.

Yue Su was good at digging up the ancestral hall of Earl Zhang's family. How could the Zhang family allow it? People from the Zhang family came to demonstrate one after another, but Yue Su had nearly a thousand troops guarding him, plus the inspection troops and horses from Yanshi County, as well as the servants, etc., how could they allow it?

There are about fifteen hundred people, so what do those unarmed tribesmen mean?

Seeing that they could not stop Yue Su, everyone in the Zhang family jointly went to the Yushi Yamen of Henan Province to file a complaint, and some even went to the capital to file a complaint.

The situation in Beijing is tense now, who has the time to take care of Yue Su? Even those who have the time to do so don't have the ability, because those who are really capable have already started fighting.

Wei Zhongxian promoted Wei Guangwei into the cabinet, and the Donglin Party felt a crisis. Finally, Yang Lian, the Tiger of Donglin, took the initiative and impeached Wei Zhongxian for twenty-four major crimes, all of which could kill Wei Zhongxian.

This memorial is too long, so I won’t go into details one by one, but I’ll just briefly explain it. Charges such as corruption and bribery are not serious, but so are charges such as deceiving Sheng Cong, forging edicts to harm ministers, and killing the emperor’s eldest son Zhu Ciran. Really fatal.

Some of these twenty-four charges are true, and some are just based on Yang Lian's speculation. Censor, it means that those who hear rumors and report things are guilty.

All memorials must first go through the Supervisor of Ceremonies before they can be sent to the emperor. Therefore, Eunuch Wei can see every memorial first. Yang Lian also knows this. But there is really no way. The emperor has been waiting for many days I haven't gone to court anymore, and I want to go to the king directly to report, but I don't have the chance.

When Eunuch Wei saw this memorial, he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, and he did not dare to let the emperor go to court. However, the Donglin Party also had a way to secretly spread the contents of the memorial to the whole city, and finally spread it to Zhu Carpenter. In the ears.

Zhu Carpenter summoned Eunuch Wei and asked for the memorial, but there was no Longmu to read it. Instead, Wang Tiqian, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, came to read it. Wang Tiqian took this opportunity to make up nonsense, saying that it was to impeach Eunuch Wei for embezzlement. , as for the other charges, I didn’t think about it at all.

I don’t agree with saying that Zhu Carpenter is not illiterate. His teacher Sun Chengzong is also considered a famous teacher. No matter how bad his students are, Zhu Carpenter will not be illiterate. The memorials of this year are all in classical Chinese, which can be understood. It shows that he can understand it. But Zhu Carpenter just didn't read the memorial and believed Wang Tigan's nonsense. In the end, he dismissed it with one sentence, "Isn't it just such a small thing? Pay attention next time and don't do it again."

Eunuch Wei escaped the disaster because of his gratitude. He was not prepared to accommodate the Donglin Party any more and would immediately fight back. The first thing he did was to recommend Xu Xianchun to be the commander of Jin Yiwei again. The second thing was , framed Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou impeached Yue Su for seven major crimes.

Carpenter Zhu didn't even read the memorial prepared by Eunuch Wei. He just said, "You can do whatever you want."

Eunuch Wei still had Fang Baojian in hand, and was still in charge of the official positions of Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin Party members who had just issued edicts. Without waiting for these people to return home, he asked Jin Yiwei to arrest these people for corruption. He was taken to Zhao Prison and tortured and interrogated.

The names of the six arrested people were Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, and Gu Dazhang. These six people all died tragically in the end and were known as the Six Gentlemen of Donglin in history.

After getting rid of them, Eunuch Wei was not done yet. He continued to make false edicts and harm people. All the ministers in the cabinet, led by Ye Xianggao, were forced to take up their posts one after another. A number of major officials, such as Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Personnel, were also dismissed one by one. However, their fate It's much better than Yang Lian and others, just go home and retire.

Nowadays, although Wei Gonggong has great power, he still has a sense of proportion. He doesn't have the courage to kill the chief minister, but he doesn't have the courage. You really think that Zhu Carpenter is stupid. At most, he can only kill people like Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou. A high-level speaker.

With such chaos inside, Yue Su would probably dig up the ancestral graves of any duke's family, let alone the ancestral hall of the count's family, and no one would have the time to take care of it.

In the blink of an eye, Yue Su had been digging in the Zhang family ancestral hall compound for a month. However, the surrounding area was closed to prevent others from knowing what was excavated inside.

Because the protagonist is Mr. Yue, the collapse of the Donglin Party will not be described in detail. Historically, the collapse of the Donglin Party occurred in the fourth year of Tianqi. Because the appearance of the protagonist accelerated the decisive battle between the two factions, resulting in the third year of Tianqi. Wei Zhongxian completely defeated the Donglin Party.

Because the main text has exceeded 3,000 words, in the following words, Xiaoyi will weakly express his personal views on the collapse of the Donglin Party. I have always thought that Emperor Tianqi was actually not confused and was a very smart person, because

If you were stupid, you wouldn't be able to do such good carpentry work.

The Ming Dynasty emphasized that scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor jointly govern the world, so ministers have always fought for power with the emperor. When encountering a strong emperor, they can completely suppress the ministers, but if the emperor is weaker, he will inevitably be suppressed by the ministers. In the court, arguments are held

It goes on and on, a small matter cannot be discussed for several days without a result.

Zhu Carpenter must have had his imperial ambitions and used Wei Zhongxian to suppress the ministers and unify the government and the public. Just like Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, used Qin Hui to kill Yue Fei.

History says that Eunuch Wei often made false edicts and dismissed ministers. Is it possible that Zhu Carpenter didn't know this? Most of the people Eunuch Wei dealt with were high-ranking officials from the Donglin family. Today there will be one less, and tomorrow there will be one less. The emperor is not blind.

How could you not see the time. To put it bluntly, you just turn a blind eye or close a blind eye. Let you Wei Zhongxian help me manage the country, and I will do my carpentry work. How can you, a eunuch, steal my throne?
