Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh
How did Tian Ergeng know that his post would definitely fall into Zhang Cheng's hands if he handed it over.
This is the pulse given by the good minister.
He didn't ask around and asked Chen Mo to go to Zhang Cheng's private house outside the palace to give gifts, and then learned from Zhang Cheng's hand that Eunuch Zhang is on duty today.
So, Tian Ergeng handed the right post to the right person at the right time.
The posting must not fall into Sun Xian's hands. This Eunuch Sun has a very different relationship with the Donglin Party, and Wang An is under this name. If Eunuch Sun gets it, Liangchen believes that not only Wanli will not see this posting, but Tian Ergeng will also suffer a lot.
Of course, this post cannot be in Jin Zhong's hands, because everyone knows that Eunuch Jin and Donglin are incompatible, so if they are handed over by Jin Zhong, they will inevitably be suspected of being falsely accused and cracked down.
The "neutral" Zhang Cheng is the best choice.
As a non-partisan, Eunuch Zhang handed over the letter, which was Gong Xin’s job, and no one could tell.
The news in the palace soon came out. The emperor was furious and asked Si Li to write a poem to Zhang Cheng to the cabinet to question the chief assistant Ye Xianggao, and ordered Ye Xianggao to send personnel to supervise the matter immediately.
I heard that the emperor got angry and said that if the Fuqing Gong didn't care, the emperor would have to ban the imperial edict.
Under this situation, Ye Xianggao did not dare to refuse to obey and immediately ordered the Censorate to investigate the matter thoroughly.
However, after investigating several censors sent by the Censorate, they reported that there was no evidence to investigate.
Wanli was so angry that he sent someone to investigate again.
This time the censor Liu Guangfu was sent.
Liu Guangfu personally went to the old house of Li's family in Tongzhou to inspect it, and then went to the Shou Palace in Dayu Mountain to explore it. Finally, he reported it to the emperor and found out that Li Sancai stole 220,000 imperial tombs for building a private house.
After the memorial was leaked, the court was in an uproar.
....
"Twenty-two thousand giant trees, is this going to build the Forbidden City?" Liangchen smiled and said, "Then Liu Guangfu can really talk nonsense."
"It's not nonsense, it has evidence. Jingshi Liu has real evidence." Li Yongzhen was serious.
Liangchen asked, "What is the evidence?"
"My father-in-law really needs to know, but he can see the Li family's house after he has been demolished." Li Yongzhen laughed.
Liangchen laughed too.
Liu Guangfu is the Zhejiang Party and Zhejiang is Donglin's mortal enemy. Shen Yiguan was very careful when he was in office. Now that he has the opportunity, how can he not punish Li Sancai to death?
The 220,000 imperial tomb trees must be exaggerated, so it cannot be exaggerated anymore. According to Tian Ergeng's investigation, the royal tomb trees used in the old house of Li family in Tongzhou will not exceed 100,000 at most, and this is also counted as small woods.
It’s better to be Liu Guangfu’s place. The small woods have become big woods, and they only have twenty-two words. They can’t stop talking even if they don’t make a shocking speech.
But how many of them are actually not important.
What’s important is that Li Sancai really “buyed” the imperial tomb trees.
Even if it is just one, he will be together.
Most officials and nobles in Beijing bought imperial tombs, but no one pursued them. Once they were serious, things would be a big deal.
"Master Kaishan, the King of Tota is not having a good life this time." Liang Chen was in a good mood and finally caused trouble for Donglin. Only by overthrowing Li San was the result of his great contribution to Eunuch Wei.
"Master Kaishan, King Tota?" Li Yongzhen opened his mouth, where did he start.
Liangchen said, "Eunuch Li must have seen Water Margin."
"Of course." Li Yongzhen nodded, "It's a good novel."
"Don't Eunuch Li think that the Donglin Party is somewhat similar to the bandits on Liangshan. They are all formed cliques and have their own seats." Liang Chen shook his head, "If there was no power of Li Sancai Huaifu, how could the money be like today in Donglin? Therefore, our family said that he is Chao Gai of the Donglin Party."
"The major events in the court have become a story of the green forest when we reach Eunuch Wei, which is interesting." Li Yongzhen laughed out loud, "Since Li San is Chao Gai, who is Song Jiang again?... Could it be that person from Wuxi?"
"Gu Xiancheng cannot afford to be Song Jiang. He is talented but not good, and has no knowledge. The Fuqing minister has this qualification." It is not a good minister who looks down on Gu Xiancheng. This is indeed a veteran of Donglin and founder, but he really can't be Song Jiang.
Who is Song Jiang? Second Uncle has already ordered it.
"The youngest man in Ye Pavilion...is a timely rain." Li Yongzhen agreed with Liangchen's opinion. No one in the Donglin Party has the right to be Song Jiang except Ye Xianggao.
The two of them met each other and smiled knowingly.
"But Eunuch Wei's comparison can compare the Donglin Party to a hero. The 108 generals of Liangshan are well-known among the people. If we want to describe Eunuch Wei like this, aren't we Gao Qiu and Tong Guansheng?"
"A hero who robs the family and cannibalizes people, or a hero who is loyal to the court for heaven?" The good minister disagreed. "Eunuch Li is familiar with the classics and history, so I am afraid that this novel story will not be taken seriously."
"That's true."
How could Li Yongzhen not know that the Liangshan heroes were actually thieves, killing people and robbing people, blocking the road, and even slaughtering people in the black shop to make buns. From top to bottom, count them carefully, how many good people could there be?
"This is the evidence of Li Sancai's greed for abuse of power collected by the governor of Nanzhentian, and handed it over to Eunuch Li." Liangchen opened the drawer and solemnly handed a bunch of materials to Li Yongzhen. This was also the purpose of his appointment with Li Yongzhen to come.
Li Yongzhen took it, picked up a few pictures to look at it, then put it down, nodded slightly: "Tian Zhenfu has put his heart into consideration."
"Let's see how Eunuch Li takes the blame." Liang Chen has a deep meaning.
Li Yongzhen smiled softly: "Don't worry, this time, if the King of Tota has to leave, he will have to leave." After speaking, he whispered: "Eunuch Wei has made great efforts in this matter. Will it be known to both China and abroad?"
"Well..."
The good minister was quite moved. He was very motivated to overthrow Li Sancai and the great contributions to him. The anti-Donglin vanguard was naturally a matter of fact. He had great fame among the five parties and great benefits in the future. This was also his motive at the beginning.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said to Li Yongzhen: "After the matter, he would leave without leaving any merit or fame."
Why not keep merit and fame? Because Eunuch Wei can’t get rid of him.
...
The next day, Shao Fuzhong, a native of the Chu Party, impeached Li Sancai as a loyal minister on the surface, but was actually a big traitor. He was upright on the surface, but was cunning on the basis of being a cunning person. He listed four major crimes of corruption, hypocrisy, sinister and tyrannical. The censor Xu Zhaokui continued to impeach Li Sancai. Within one day, there were twenty-six memorials to impeach Li Sancai for being corrupt and abused.
Li Sancai, who was already covered in dust by the imperial tombs and trees, was shocked and hurriedly came to the public to defend himself.
The five parties suddenly made great moves, and the Donglin Party members naturally wanted to save Li Sancai, and they submitted memorials to refute him. The clerk Ma Conglong, the censor Dong Zhaoshu, Peng Duanwu, and the Nanjing clerk Jin Shiheng successively defended Li Sancai.
Gu Xiancheng, who was far away in Wuxi, smelled the bad smell of struggle and hurriedly wrote a letter to Ye Xianggao, saying that Li Sancai was honest and straightforward, and asked Ye Xianggao to keep Li Sancai no matter what. Later, Gu Xiancheng wrote another letter to Sun Piyang, Minister of Personnel, requesting to rectify Li Sancai's name.
