"There's more?"
Xu Xianchun was also stunned.
Other than these people, there were also people from the White Lotus Society.
"This general will enter the palace now. You will bring people to guard here. Without orders, no one is allowed to touch these corpses, do you hear me?”Duan Hu looked at Xu Xianchun.
Xu Xianchun didn't dare to say anything else. He nodded his head and said,"Don't worry, brave uncle. I will take good care of him. It's just that"
Xu Xianchun took a step forward and said in a low voice,"Just now, Godfather asked me to convey a message to Lord Duan that someone in the court is harming Uncle Zhongyong.”
"Left Vice Imperial Censor Yang Lian and Left Qian Imperial Censor Zuo Guangdou are currently impeaching Zhongyong Bo for disobeying the imperial edict.”
"Moreover, the Minister of Rites, Sun Shenxing, the Minister of History, Zhao Nanxing, and the Guanglu Temple Deputy, Gao Panlong, have also accused Zhongyong of killing people on the street without regard for the law and being arrogant and unreasonable!”
"Minister of War Sun Chengzong suggests that we don't let the brave and loyal uncle return to Liaodong!”
Xu Xianchun whispered.
"Hmph."
Duan Hu snorted coldly.
He didn't expect Sun Chengzong to act so quickly. He had already contacted the officials to suppress him.
It was no wonder that Emperor Tianqi would use Wei Zhongxian and the other eunuchs to suppress the Donglin Party. In the court, these people were almost the only ones who could speak.
From the Red Pill Case to the Palace Shifting Case, the Donglin Party had played an important role.
If these scholars were allowed to continue, the Great Ming Dynasty might really be hopeless.
Although Wei Zhongxian monopolized power and monopolized the country.
However, he had filled Emperor Tianqi's national treasury, so the border troops would not have no food and pay, and the disaster relief would not have no food.
Where did the money and food come from?
Merchant.
After Wei Zhongxian came to power, he vigorously collected taxes from merchants.
Especially the Eight Great Jin Merchants.
However, he was suppressed by Wei Zhongxian until he could not breathe.
However, in the Chongzhen year, Wei Zhongxian was dismissed and the Donglin Party regained power. The exorbitant taxes on the people were several times heavier.
In addition, they had to serve corvee in winter.
If Wei Zhongxian hadn't left a lot of wealth for Emperor Chongzhen during the Tianqi years, the Ming Dynasty probably wouldn't have survived those last ten years.
The people wouldn't rebel if they ruled the country like this? If it were him, Duan Hu, he would also rebel!
It was better to be a dog in peace than a person in troubled times. This was what the boss of Troubled Times said.
From this, it could be seen that if there was a meal to fill one's stomach, who would be willing to hang their heads on their belts and be a traitor?
Even if the rebels won in the end and overthrew the imperial court, wouldn't the ones who benefited still be those losers?
What could the commoners get? All he got was a chance to eat his fill.
Duan Hu mounted his horse.
"Watch this place."
After saying that, Duan Hu headed towards the Imperial Palace.
The palace guards had already left the palace.
He happened to bump into Duan Hu, who was heading toward the Imperial Palace.
"Uncle Zhong Yong, His Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace immediately.”A commander of the palace guards said.
"Good!"
Duan Hu nodded and followed the commander of the palace guards to the palace.
Just as he reached the palace gate, the commander of the palace guards stopped in his tracks.
Then, he looked around and cupped his fists at Duan Hu. He lowered his voice and said,"You must be careful when entering the palace, someone is impeaching you.”
"I was once a border soldier and know that Liaodong is bitter and cold. Uncle Zhong Yong is killing the enemy at the border and should not cause trouble.”
The palace guard said sincerely.
Duan Hu looked at the commander of the Yulin Royal Guards.
"Thank you very much."
After saying that, Duan Hu walked into the depths of the palace.
"Ta Ta!"
"Ta Ta!"
Footsteps sounded outside the banquet hall.
"Your Majesty, the loyal and brave uncle Duan Hudao!”A Golden Guard standing guard outside the hall came to report.
"Announce!"
Emperor Tianqi sat on the throne and said.
All the officials in the hall instantly focused their gazes on the entrance of the hall.
Duan Hu was wearing armor, and his body was covered in cold air and bloodstains as he walked into the hall.
"I, Duan Hu, am late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”
"Hmph, Lord Duan is so mighty. All the civil and military officials and His Majesty are waiting for Lord Duan's arrival here. They don't know why Lord Duan dares to disobey the Emperor's orders!”
"Could it be that Lord Duan doesn't know the laws of Great Ming? Disobeying the divine order is a crime of treason and disobedience. Why does Lord Duan want to rebel?”
Left Vice Censor Yang Lian looked at Duan Hu who had walked in and immediately stood up to pin a big hat of disobedience on Duan Hu's head.
Duan Hu turned his head and glanced at Yang Lian.
"Who are you? Do I know you?" Duan Hu's voice was cold.
"Hmph, I bet you don't recognize him. He's the Left Vice Imperial Censor Yang Lian!”Yang Lian said to Duan Hu with his chin.
"Haha!"
Duan Hu sneered.
"Oh, so it's Lord Yang. If you didn't say it, this general would have thought you were the emperor!”
"How dare you!"
Yang Lian pointed at Duan Hu,"You dare to say such disgraceful words!"”
Duan Hu ignored Yang Lian and looked at Emperor Tianqi who was sitting on the throne.
"This subject has been ordered to enter the palace for an audience. His Majesty has not spoken yet, but Lord Yang spoke first. Isn't this a crime of treason? With His Majesty here, how could Lord Yang speak first? Lord Yang said that this general is treasonous, then where do you put His Majesty?”
Hearing Duan Hu's words, Yang Lian suddenly looked at Emperor Tianqi on the throne.
As expected, Emperor Tianqi's face carried a warm and angry expression.
Yang Lian's face instantly turned pale.
"Your Majesty!"
"Sit down!"
Emperor Tianqi frowned as he looked at Yang Lian and said.
