Chapter 165 You must not knock on the door
The house in Cuihua Hutong in Baodafang was rented by Master Sun Xian in his early years. Later, Master was promoted to Sili Zhangzhang. According to the rules, the emperor wanted to give another house. However, Master Sun thought that the inner treasury was nervous and the emperor was not good at it. In addition, he was nostalgic and felt that his family had lived in Cuihua Hutong for almost thirty years, and he was not used to moving somewhere else. So he promoted the reward of a new house with the emperor and still lived in Cuihua Hutong.
Two years ago, Shuntian Prefecture opened the south side of Cuihua Hutong, so that it could directly lead from Cuihua Hutong to the north alley of Dongchang Hutong. In this way, Cuihua Hutong has appreciated a lot and has much more convenient transportation. Now, in addition to Master Sun, there are also Master Qian Zhong from the Third Superintendent of Zhidian living in this alley.
In order to ensure the safety of these two Sili Dahua, Shuntian Prefecture and Wucheng Bingmasi set up patrol points in the alley, and Dongchang also sent a military officer to serve on duty. Before the afternoon, the Dongchang scholars who were on duty in Cuihua Hutong noticed that there were suddenly more people entering and leaving the alley. Not only were there officials in the court, but also many eunuchs in the palace, most of these people entered the house of Master Sun, the eunuch, the eunuch in the seal.
There were so many people in Master Sun’s house, and they were all anxious. Master Sun was also anxious. He sent several groups of people to inquire, but none of them could bring back an accurate message to the master. That is to say, the group of Donglin Party members in Kedao had somehow started to make trouble and contacted a large group of people to impeach Wei Liangchen, the chief magistrate of Jiangnan.
The leader is Yang Lian, the director of the Huke Academy, who threatened to bring people to Huijimen to knock on the door tomorrow!
"Nothing, it's really nonsense!"
Sun Xian paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, "Why doesn't his Fuqing husband communicate with our family in such a big disturbance? If he wants to say that his husband doesn't know about this, don't he treat us as a fool?"
Sun Xian became more and more angry as he thought about it. He said to the people around him: "In the past, my husband respected our family and always gave us a voice to make our family ready. But this time, it would be so quiet that it would be so big. If the Tongzhengsi had not handed us the news, we would have been kept in the dark!"
"That's right, the Donglin Party is indeed a bit unreasonable. No matter who the group of Zikedao is rushing to, they always say hello to the master. If they don't say hello, they will start to move. Is there any master in their eyes? Is there any other court in our inner court?" The person who spoke was Sun Xian's confidant, Qi Tai, the imperial prisoner.
Sun Xian stopped and pondered for Qi Tai: "You go to the cabinet again with our post and pass it on to us. If his Fuqing husband doesn't give us an explanation, then our family will not ask about this matter."
"Yes, ancestor!"
Qi Tai quickly took the post and went straight to the cabinet. Sun Xian was too old to stand for a long time, so he sat down. He was about to ask who had submitted a memorial to the Donglin Party and whether the content of the impeachment was true. Liu Shimin, the governor of the Wenshu room, came.
Sun Xian nodded slightly at Liu Shimin. Liu Shimin was recommended to the emperor before his ex-pin Chen Ju died, but he was talented and had a lot of duty in the literary room in recent years. Therefore, Sun Xian also valued him very much and attracted him as a confidant. He was preparing to recommend him to the emperor as a eunuch in the sermon hall after two years.
Liu Shimin had received Sun Xian's order to go to another eunuch, Jin Zhong.
Sun Xian asked him directly: "What did Jin Zhong say?"
Liu Shimin bowed and said, "Eunuch Jin called Xiaodi and told his ancestors that it is a troublesome thing for Eunuch Wei. Our inner court would be better not to get involved, otherwise the emperor would be unhappy."
"Um?"
Sun Xian snorted, "Who doesn't know that Wei Liangchen is under his name of Jin Zhong? Now something happens. If Mr. Jin doesn't protect him, he will ask someone to point at his back and scold him. But if he insists on protecting him, how can he protect him? What does the emperor mean that the emperor will be unhappy? Where did he start? Humph, is he reminding our Wei Liangchen to do his job for His Majesty?"
Liu Shimin only listened respectfully and did not speak.
"It is related to the reputation of the inner court. If the censors make good comments, it is all true. How can we tell the emperor?" Sun Xian said this and asked Liu Shimin.
Liu Shimin's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Old ancestor, it is better to be quiet than to move at the moment."
"Let's see how his Fuqing husband explains to our family."
Sun Xian nodded. He could be the position of the boss's ritual and palm print, not just relying on Jin Zhong to "abandon the throne" or his own ability. Now the wisest choice for his ancestors is to wait and see what those censors from Zi Donglin can do. If Yang Lian really goes to the door of the Great Sect tomorrow, alarms the emperor and summons them to write, then it will be the time for his ancestors to come forward.
It is not a wise choice to show your attitude now.
After all, everyone in the palace knew that Wei Liangchen could be powerful and blessed in Jiangnan because of the emperor's favor. The emperor's use of this person was only two words: gold and silver. Whoever could get the emperor's money, the emperor would use him. People from the outside court could impeach it based on this, but the palace could not.
Besides, Wei Liangchen is also a good person. He returned to Beijing the previous time and told the emperor to visit the prisons one by one and set up some maritime cooperation plans. At present, many supervisory bureaus have sent people to the south, which has benefited a lot. His ancestors really wanted to give Wei Liangchen a blow, for fear that the supervisory bureaus would have any objections to his ancestors.
Therefore, how to deal with this matter depends on what the emperor said.
Not only Sun Xian, who had the same idea, but also several eunuchs such as Qian Zhong, Wang Shun, Xiao Yu, etc., also had the same idea.
Du Jinzhong, because Wei Liangchen was nominally subordinate to his own disciples, had to contact him everywhere, trying to suppress the fire in Donglin.
At the same time, Liu Jixiang, the governor of the Imperial Horse Supervision, also threw aside several "male pets" sent by Yuan Xinju, and asked the eunuch Wang Yongshou to prepare horses for him as soon as possible, and be sure to return to Beijing before sunset.
Many people couldn't sit still in the group of noble relatives in the capital. Princess Shouning angrily came out of the mansion, but did not enter the palace immediately. Instead, she went to the houses of her fourth aunt, fifth aunt, uncle, uncle and other relatives.
Not long after, the fourth aunt, Princess Ruian and Princess Yongning, two rare princesses, accompanied her niece to the palace.
In the evening, a sudden middleman was used in the palace and went straight to the chessboard street, the servant Yang Lian's house.
Yang Lian, who was discussing the knocking of Zuo Guangdou and others at home, was shocked when he heard that the envoy was in charge and hurriedly came out to greet him.
The envoy was a young eunuch. He was not very old and was the first time he was sent out to the palace to announce the imperial edict. So he looked very nervous. After seeing the master coming, he quickly calmed down and sang: "The imperial edict!"
Yang Lian bowed quickly.
The little eunuch cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty said, Yang Lian is a talented person. Your Majesty has heard of it. Your Majesty said again, "Your Majesty will listen carefully. Your Majesty has read your memorial and told you not to knock on the door again."
Yang Lian was stunned after hearing this: "How could Your Majesty know that I, Yang Lian, are going to knock on the door!"
