Although the castration party and the Donglin party are ostensibly incompatible, by the Chongzhen era, they have gradually reached a tacit understanding that they will never attack each other's corruption problems; because similar attacks will make everyone passive.
However, the two sides are scrambling to see each other, and it is inevitable that this tacit understanding will be broken.
In the early years of Chongzhen, the Donglin Party made a major comeback.
Because the Donglin Party is very exclusive, non-Donglin officials have been ostracized in various ways.
In this context, Wen Tiren, on behalf of non-Donglin officials, turned over a disgraceful past of Qian Qianyi, a big man in Donglin.
Qian Qianyi's disgraceful old affair is to the effect that it is like this.
Many years ago, Donglin Gangster (Qian Qianyi) was in charge of the main examination of a place. Someone goes out on the street to sell code words, in other words, as long as you write this code I told you in the article (put a certain sentence into your article), you can definitely be on the list.
There was a person named Qian Qianqiu, who bought this code word, and finally really made the list. If that's the end of the day, this is a classic case of you spending black money and I'm helping you; in short, you love me, you're good, and you're never going to make a mess.
The problem is that after Qian Qianqiu passed the exam, the more he returned home, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became. Because he looked back at the articles he had written, he felt that they were too well written. In other words, if I didn't write that code, the examiner had to choose me. The point is, this is the main exam that Donglin gangster is responsible for! How could he go all over the world for blatant fraud?
This kind of person is called typical and can't open. Since you have such confidence in the Big Guy of Donglin, why did you buy this code word? And this kind of money is usually not reliable. Because what people promised you has already been done.
But the more Qian Qianqiu thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he wanted to settle the account...
Needless to say, when officials collect black money, they also find some people who understand. Because when you meet such a person, it will really be a bad deal.
Such a toss, the outside public opinion is in an uproar, the key is that the official struggle is so fierce, do you know who has what relationship with whom? So, someone grabbed this matter and began to make a big fuss. All in all, the Donglin Party flaunted incorruptibility, but blatantly cheated when presiding over the examination.
Of course, after an official investigation. There was no fraud in this exam. The two people who sell code words are two liars. In other words, they knew that the person (Qian Qianqiu) could get in, so they came to cheat him of the money. In fact, Qian Qianqiu's article is very well written, and Qian Qianyi let Qian Qianqiu go to high school and has nothing to do with the so-called code word.
In the end, the two people who sold code words were arrested for fraud, and Qian Qianqiu lost his reputation. Because you yourself admit to cheating on spending money, the test results naturally don't count.
This story, because it is related to the Donglin Party, people will naturally think that this is the story of two scammers.
The question is, how can things be so simple?
It's as if something similar happened today, the official final findings are like this, do you think the vast number of netizens will believe it? I reckon that netizens with normal IQs will not believe it. Therefore, there is no doubt that the Chongzhen Emperor did not believe it either.
Wen Tiren's counterattack against the Donglin Party was absolutely clever. This matter is not big or small; the point is that it is a matter of rotten sesame seeds. Fighting back against the Donglin Party in this way will not only make the Donglin Party feel pain, but also will not make things bigger. More importantly, it would make the emperor clearly see that the water of the official unspoken rules was bottomless. Therefore, what Donglin Party is not Donglin Party, what emasculated Party is not emasculated, that is just nonsense.
When the Donglin Party saw that Wen Tiren dared to attack Qian Qianyi in this way, it immediately put the hat of the castration party on Wen Tiren's head; and even more fastened the hat of a corrupt criminal on Wen Tiren's head.
All in all, Wen Tiren was the backbone of the castrated party who slipped through the net; in short, this Wen Tiren was a notorious embezzler. A thousand words came together in one sentence, the emperor should kill Wen Tiren!
Seeing that the Donglin Party had actually attacked himself in this way, Wen Renren really couldn't help but laugh, because the original form of the Donglin Party was finally revealed again.
Therefore, Wen Tiren has always hinted to the emperor, do you now know what kind of goods the Donglin Party is?
All in all, my usual popularity has always been good, at least no one has ever attacked me. Now because I provoked the Donglin gangster, all kinds of pots, immediately like snowflakes floating over.........
Next, Wen Tiren began to methodically fight back the attack of the Donglin Party.
For example, the Donglin Party said that Wen Tiren had written a book specifically praising Wei Zhongxian; and also took out the book that had been printed; the cover of the book was impressively printed with Wen Tiren's name.
For the Donglin Party's blatant act of planting stolen goods. Wen Tiren said, if I praise Wei Zhongxian, I should naturally write relevant articles in person, where is the reason for paying for the printing of relevant articles? If a printed book has my name printed on it, it proves that this book was written by me, and with the strength of the Donglin Party, whoever wants to frame tomorrow can frame whomever it wants.
Besides, this matter is not difficult to investigate. Because even if I had written this book, I wouldn't have been able to engrave it myself, right? Okay, let's follow this clue now and see where the book was engraved?
As soon as the Donglin Party heard Wen Tiren's words, it panicked at that time. All in all, this book was bought by someone on the way to Beijing.
Wen Tiren said this, I paid for a book praising Wei Zhongxian, in the capital, I could not find a copy, but it appeared in a nameless town hundreds of miles away from Beijing. Does this make sense? When you say this, are you not obviously afraid of the emperor and follow the relevant clues to investigate?
At this point, the emperor no longer asked about it. Obviously, the emperor had his own judgment on this. Because, as long as there is no prejudice, who will think that this is the Donglin Party's unspoken bribery.
More importantly, Wei Zhongxian had been dead for more than a year. Wen Tiren once wrote a book praising Wei Zhongxian, and it was also engraved in a book. If there really is such a thing, Wen Tiren as a member of the castration party, it is an ironclad matter, and it is also something that cannot be hidden? Why has no one ever said in the past year that Wen Tiren is a member of the castration party?
Of course, there were many more things about the Donglin Party attacking Wen Tiren. But most of them are sensational, but they can't stand up to scrutiny.
It is said that Wen Tiren, in his hometown, once forcibly bought three thousand taels of silver for the merchant's timber for five hundred taels of silver. The merchant sued the East Factory, and seeing that the government wanted to bring him to justice, Wen Tiren bribed Cui Chengxiu and defected to the castration party, so he escaped this disaster.
In fact, this is more typical nonsense.
For a high-ranking official of the central government bought a merchant three thousand taels of silver for three thousand taels of silver. This businessman, will he go around complaining? It's also magical. Because this is equivalent to the merchant giving this official a gift of two thousand five hundred taels of silver. This kind of gift is usually not given in vain.
More importantly, when the businessman sued the East Factory for such a thing, Wei Zhongxian was so angry that he severely punished this official. In this way, is it not true that the legendary factory ministers are honest and honest, and the factory ministers are dedicated to serving the country and the people? Otherwise, the businessman was blackmailed by a high-ranking official, so how could he think of seeking revenge on Wei Zhongxian?
In a sense, the relevant content is only to prove that Wen Tiren is a corrupt official, and also has an unclear relationship with the castration party. In other words, Wen Tiren extorted more than two thousand taels of silver that year, and in order to escape Wei Zhongxian's punishment, he hooked up with the eunuch cui Chengxiu.
Speaking of this, the Chongzhen Emperor was completely on fire. Because that's the principle of your Donglin Party?
Wei Zhongxian had been dead for a year (this was November of the first year of Chongzhen; Wei Zhongxian died in November of the seventh year of the Apocalypse). Since Wen Tiren is a member of the castration party, why haven't you said it? Now wen Tiren has a contradiction with you, and the evidence that Wen Tiren is an eunuch party will come out in a big pile at once.
Some time ago, I was above the court, ashamed and angry, just because no one dared to point out that an official was corrupt and bribed. You are all pretending to be dead and pretending to be good people below, and no one can really point out that an official has been corrupt and bribed. Now that Wen Tiren has a contradiction with you, the evidence that Wen Tiren is a corrupt official will come all at once?
Is this the principle of your Donglin Party?
Is it the official who opposes you, the corrupt official, the castration party?
When is it, the empire is troubled internally and externally, let you do something serious, each one is like a dead person, you all want to pretend to be a good person, and no one wants to offend people. When it comes to fighting for power, they are immediately like beating chicken blood, and they are eager to kill each other.
I always thought that you Donglin Party was a thing! Now it seems that you are really not a thing!
This call made the Donglin Party scolded at that time so much that it did not dare to speak loudly anymore. Because the Donglin Party also finally found that their performance was really too bad. But this does not prevent the Donglin Party from continuing to appear in the image of justice.
The Donglin Party's large-scale attack on Wen Tiren this time, just like the large-scale attack on Wei Zhongxian in that year, was a standard mischief. Because there is something to say, there is something to say. What is this trying to do with the multitude of people, fabricating cloud-shrouded, sensational charges, and holding big hats to detain people? Do you think that the black and white of the Empire is true or false, and it is up to you to decide?
If the Chongzhen Emperor was also as deep as the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he would definitely not say much, but secretly gave the Donglin Party a color. All in all, I don't take a brick and shoot you, I'm afraid you really think I have a problem with iq.
Although the emperor took a brick and patted the official, although it is a funny statement, it is not far from the real history.
Thinking back to that year, emperor Daming was angry and immediately let people pull down to beat officials, which is the legendary court staff. Emperors who are only concerned about image usually do not act like this. Because of this kind of behavior, it is really a bit off the table. Especially because what the official said cannot satisfy you, you do this, you are really suspected of being a tyrant or a tyrant.
In fact, we can imagine that if we sat in the position of the emperor and let the officials unite and play one by one, we would also just want to pull them down and beat them. Because what is this place, this is the place where you can talk nonsense? Because what kind of person am I to allow you to play like this?
