Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang wantonly occupied private land, and an empire wrote an impeachment letter. Seeing this book playing, Yingzong said to the great scholars Li Xian and Xu Youzhen: Shi Yu is really blessed to speak like this! Cao Jixiang, who stood beside the emperor, became angry from embarrassment and tried to cure the crime of suggestion, but the emperor stopped him. When Shi Heng heard the news, he was very angry and accused it of being untrue. Then he took it out on Li Xian and Xu Youzhen and called them the leaders behind the scenes. Shi Heng said to Cao Jixiang: Now the palace is your world, and the outer court is my decision. Obviously, Li Xianzhi designed it this way. Xu Youzhen was promoted to cabinet records because he seized the door. He wanted to make meritorious service again, so he clashed with Shi Heng. Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang lashed out at Xu Youzhen in front of the emperor, and the suggestion repeatedly wrote to expose the illegal events of Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, so Yingzong had opinions on all three. The emperor turned to Menda and Qiu, the commanders-in-chief of the Royal Guards, who devoted themselves to their own assassinations and asked them to investigate the facts.
At this time, the Royal Guard Commander Menda was attached to Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng. Menda and Wang Xuan wrote to the emperor respectively, saying that they were all members of the nine domains of the empire and instigated and framed. Eunuch Cao Jixiang took the opportunity to kneel in front of the emperor and said, I will die all my life, lay down my life for the emperor's reset, and the cabinet minister must kill me and wait! As she spoke, she burst into tears and fell to the ground and couldn't afford to cry. The emperor's position was reversed. He still trusted Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, demoted Xu Youzhen and Li Xian, impeached their suggestions, seized positions and defended the frontier.
One day, the cabinet praised Shan Yue for entering the Wen Yuan Pavilion. The emperor asked him, why do you want to help? Yue Zheng replied: The Minister of Interior and the Minister of Military Affairs have too much power. The emperor understands. After Yue Zheng retired from North Korea, he informed Cao Qin and Shi Biao about it and suggested that they resign from the army. Cao Qin and Shi Biao were frightened and hurried to Cao Jixiang. Cao Jixiang saw the emperor, took off his hat, knelt on the ground, and cried and asked for the execution of the emperor. The emperor asked why, called Yue Zheng and scolded him for leaking the conversation. Yue Zheng said, "These two men are bound to betray your Majesty. I want to prevent problems before they happen, so that the whole monarch and subjects are embarrassed. " . The emperor was very unhappy. Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang are also unhappy. Soon, Yue Zheng was transferred to Guangdong as a Tongzhi in Qinzhou; Minister Chen of the Ministry of War ordered him to guard Suzhou from a distance, and then sent him to Yunnan and Guangxi.
Shi Heng is arrogant and has no scruples. One day, Shi Heng led thousands of Wang Lu and Yan Jing into the forbidden area of the palace and went straight into the Wenhua Hall. The emperor was surprised and asked, Who are they? Shi Heng said casually, "These are my two confidants, who have made the greatest contribution to the success of the emperor." . Shi Heng immediately asked the emperor to mobilize two people to command the Royal Guards. Later, Shi Heng recommended fellow countryman Sun Hong as assistant minister of Xiaohong, and Yingzong also took aim. Shi Heng also asked the emperor to promote Sun Hong as a senior minister, but the emperor did not agree. Shi Heng came out angrily and said, You can't move to Shangshu once. Please move next time! Shi Heng's arrogance, the emperor also some unhappiness, but fear of the door, also tolerated. Later, Yingzong asked Li Xian about the gains and losses of government affairs. Li Xian said: Power cannot be delegated. I hope your majesty will act arbitrarily. The emperor understood, and then the monarch and his subjects talked about the merits of robbing the door. Li Xian said: Never mind, drivers are welcome. How to pass on the word' seize the door' to future generations? Your majesty obeyed his destiny and resumed his position. Why take the door? Besides, you can't walk through the gate of the Forbidden City! I was invited to participate in this matter, but I didn't agree! The emperor was surprised and asked him why. Li Xian said, "King Jing can't afford to be ill, so all the ministers came to ask your Majesty to be restored. This is natural, there is nothing to doubt, and you will not enter the door. If things get out, these people have nothing to regret, but where will your majesty be placed? These people just want to make a fortune, but they don't want to be a country! The emperor suddenly realized. In March of the second year of Tianshun (A.D. 1458), Chen, a confidant and minister of the Ministry of War, was exposed for corruption. The wealth in his family surprised the emperor. Yingzong ordered the stolen goods to be displayed under the porch of the palace, and asked Shi Heng and others to check. The emperor recalled Yu Qian's poverty and said sadly: Yu Qian was always favored by Jingdi, and when he died, there was nothing at home; Now Chen has been a minister of war for less than a year, and he has received so many bribes! Shi Heng quickly knelt down without a hat, speechless. From then on, the emperor gradually realized that Yu Qian had been wronged, and it was only a guess to change Shi Heng and others to seize the door.
In the third year of Tianshun (AD 1459), Jin Yiwei was ordered to investigate Shi Mi, the company commander of Datong, and was formally arrested in August. Shi Biao started his career with meritorious military service, and the position of general was not obtained with the help of power, but he was arrogant, did many unjust things, and finally made the same mistake. He was sinister and violent all his life, and took pleasure in insulting the company commanders in Datong. In retaliation for his repeated insults, the company commanders secretly reported to the court that Shi Biao was ambitious and scheming. Yingzong decided to call him back to Beijing and make him a marquis. But Shi Biao doesn't want to leave Datong. He secretly invited fifty people, including confidant general Datong Qianhu Vencent Yang, to enter the palace to petition, begging Shi Biao to guard Datong. The secret agents of the Royal Guards soon discovered all this, and the Emperor ordered the arrest of Shi Mi and put him in the Royal Guards Prison.
Shi Biao was tortured in the Royal Guards' prison, so he had to admit that he was up to no good and implicated Shi Heng, the powerful minister. The emperor read Shi Heng's military achievements and forgave him his crimes, but he deprived him of his military power and all his posts and let him go home and live a leisurely life.
After being deprived of military power, Shi Heng held a grudge. During his reign, he traveled back and forth between Datong and the capital. He once looked at the Zijing Pass and said to the left and right attendants: If you strictly observe this pass and guard Datong, the capital will be helpless! When he retired from North Korea and returned to his private residence, Shi Heng said to his confidants Wang Lu and Yan Jing: I am a high-paid official, and this is what you want! They were very surprised and didn't know what this meant. They soon said, I have to rely on government promotion to get where I am today. How can I have any delusions! Shi Heng proudly said: Chen Qiaoyi mutiny, history books do not call it usurping power. You want to help me achieve great things. Isn't this officer yours? Wang Lu and Yan Jing were so scared that their legs trembled and they dared not say a word.
You Rentong first showed Shi Heng the mysterious magic book, which read: Only the stone man did not move. It is intended to persuade Shi Heng to mobilize troops for an uprising. Shi Heng confidently boasted to his clique: Datong soldiers and vests are the best in the world, and I have always treated them well. Shi Biao still rules Datong, so I can rely on them. One day, instead of Wen Li, Shi Mi wore the seal of General Zhen Shuo, rampaging through the Datong military, guarding Zijingguan in the north and Linqing in the east, breaking Gaoyou Dam and cutting off the reimbursement road, and the capital won without a fight. When the Mongols invaded Yansui, Shi Heng was ordered to resist and lead the imperial army out of Beijing. Tongxian once again advised Shi Heng to arise. Shi Heng said casually: It's not difficult. It's just that all the soldiers and horses in the world haven't been replaced by my people, so it's not too late to start again. Tong Xian said urgently, It's now or never! Shi Heng wouldn't listen. Tong Xian privately said to the people around him: How can this be a big deal! After Shi Biao was arrested, Shi Heng idled around and went to all the relieving and positions. At this time, Shi Heng was eager to seek change, but in fact he was under house arrest, and his behavior was quickly detected by security personnel. In the first month of Tianshun four years (AD 1460), a comet appeared in Beijing. The ruling and opposition parties were frightened. Commander of the Royal Guards wrote a secret letter to the emperor as a pro-army commander and confidant of the emperor: Shi Heng was resentful and conspired with his nephew Shi Jun. The emperor showed this secret letter to the ministers and ordered Shi Heng to be arrested and sent to the Royal Guards prison.
The guards were ordered to arrest Shi Heng. After torture, Shi Heng died in prison; Shi Biao was abandoned, please behead; His lineal children were all executed first. After the emperor arrested and executed Shi Heng, he ordered all those who were honored by being promoted by Shi Heng to surrender and be dismissed. Although the emperor didn't implicate Cao Jixiang, Cao Jixiang had a premonition that Shi Heng was finished, and his days were numbered, so he began to prepare for the last desperate attempt. Later, Cao Jixiang enlisted a group of Mongolians, trusted them as confidants, and won many awards from the imperial court for them. These surrendered Mongolian military commanders also tied their fate to Cao Jixiang, thinking that if anything happened, they would not come to a good end. Cao Jixiang's family also has diners, one of whom is Yi Feng. As early as the power boom in Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, Cao Jixiang's nephew Cao Qin asked Feng Yi one day: Since ancient times, have there been eunuchs' children as emperors? Feng Yi replied: Your Cao Cao, the Emperor Wu of Wei, is the descendant of eunuch Cao Jie. Cao Qin was overjoyed and asked his wife to give a banquet and wine to treat Feng Yi well. Since then, Cao Qin has planned different ambitions and waited for opportunities.
Cao Fulai, who came from a royal family, worked as a policeman for Cao Qin, secretly doing foreign trade for him. Cao Qin was afraid that Cao Fulai would reveal the secret, so he ordered his wife to tell him that he was ill and ran away. He also ordered his family Cao Liang to hunt down Cao Fulai, take him back to the government, severely whip him and kill him. When the commander of the Royal Guards learned the truth, he reported it to the emperor. The emperor summoned Cao Qin and solemnly warned: Correct immediately, otherwise, you will not be spared! All this happened before Shi Biao was convicted.
After Shi Biao was convicted, Cao Qin was very scared. He thinks that the biggest enemy at present is the commander of the Royal Guards, who has extremely sharp investigation methods. One day in June of the fifth year of Tianshun, Cao Qin, his henchmen, Mongolian commander-in-chief Bo Yan and dozens of others plotted: If the investigation was urgent, he would be the second Shi Mi! So, they conspired to decide, and the next morning, they chose 500 Fanhan soldiers who dared to die. It was agreed that when Daimon Masaru opened in the Ming Dynasty, Cao Qin would go to depose the emperor and kill Sun Boring, Ma Ang and Cao Jixiang, who had been in charge of guarding the Beijing camp, as internal security. At that time, Ma Ang was appointed Minister of War and Sun Boring was appointed company commander. These two men always lead Shi Jing's camp, and they are preparing to lead the guards on a sweet and cool expedition to the west. The plot was decided, and Cao Qin held a grand banquet. That night, he warmly entertained the generals and soldiers, rewarded them one by one, and prepared to start action after midnight. Sun was bored and had to resign from the emperor before going to war, so he stayed in the court in advance. Chaotang is the place where ministers work, watch vigil and wait for court. It is located outside Chengtianmen, right in the center of Tiananmen Square today. Those who stayed in the palace that night were minister Wu Jin and others. When the banquet was held in Cao Qin until midnight, Mongolian generals ordered people to leave quietly and rushed to the court to inform Wu Jin. Wu Dijin immediately bored to report to Sun. The two men hurried to the right gate of Chang 'an on the west side of Chengtianmen, but they couldn't get in, so they had to write on paper. Because they are all military officials, they are not good at writing. They only wrote: Cao and Cao. Throw this emergency paper out of the gap at the right gate of Chang 'an, and call the gatekeeper to transfer it to the palace quickly. When Yingzong heard of the change in the middle of the night, he ordered the emergency arrest of Cao Jixiang, and ordered all the guards of the imperial city gate and the nine gates of the capital city to close their doors and not open them. The guards of the Forbidden City immediately locked Cao Jixiang up. At this time, Cao Qin, who was preparing for the uprising, knew nothing about these changes. He and his brothers, Cao, Cao Duohe also led the elite guard to the East Chang 'an Gate first, only to find that the imperial gate opened at dawn on weekdays was tightly locked.
Cao Qin broke out in a cold sweat and felt that he was planning something. He turned and walked towards the private residence of Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Guards, whom he had always hated. Xun was about to go out and report to the emperor. Cao Qin met him head-on, and he was about to kill him and ruin his body. So Cao Qin led the troops into the west wing, and together with Cao Duo came after the hateful court official Kou Shen. He went in and cut off Koushen's shoulder, and then cut Koushen in half with one knife.
Armored soldiers galloped along Chang 'an Avenue, and the ministers who entered the DPRK first thought it was a western guard. When they heard that the rebels were rebelling, everyone dispersed in a hubbub and fled in a hurry. Li Xian, a college student, is waiting for the trial in the East Hall, and there are shouts and ShaSheng outside. Li Xian panicked and walked out of the room, and was set by several soldiers. One went to cut Li Xian's shoulder and arm, the other went to cut his ear, and the other held it with a knife from behind. Cao Qin rushed over with the head of the rafter and stopped the guard. He got off the horse, took Li Xian by the hand and said that today was a mutiny provoked by the rafters. It is really a last resort. Please draw up a draft for me and submit it to the emperor immediately! Then, senior minister Wang Ao was arrested. Li Xian was forced to bring paper and ink from Wang Ao's calligraphy office, drafted a sparse chapter, and worked with Wang Ao to crack the left door of Chang 'an.
Chang 'an Gate is still closed. Cao Qin led the outlaws to attack the left and right gates of Chang 'an and set them on fire. Pro-military soldiers guarding Chang 'an demolished the bricks on the banks of the Yu He River to build Chang 'an to resist the rebels. The rebels shouted back and forth outside the door to help out. Cao Qin rode back and forth several times, trying to kill Li Xian. Finally, he gave up and left, and led the troops to pursue Ma 'ang, the minister of the Ministry of War. At this time, it was already dawn.
Sun Tang sent his two sons to gather the guards of the Jingshi regiment who were preparing for the Western Expedition. However, considering the Beijing soldiers who used to be comfortable in peacetime, Sun was bored to hear that the rebellion might not dare to come out to kill the enemy, and the soldiers could refuse to leave the camp without imperial edict. So, Sun bored and thought of a plan. He asked his son to shout outside the barracks, saying that the prisoner held by the punishments had escaped from prison, and he was rewarded handsomely. Sure enough, two thousand soldiers were gathered from the west, armed to the teeth and armed to the teeth. Sun Tang rode on a horse and said to the soldiers, didn't you see the fire at the gate of Chang 'an? It was Cao Qin who led the rebellion! But his troops are few, and whoever takes him alive or kills him will get a large sum of money! Inspired by Sun's boring and fearless spirit, the officers and men responded loudly. Zhao Rong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was dressed in battle and galloped through the city, shouting: Come with me if you want to kill thieves! Hundreds of people immediately followed suit.
Cao Qin did not capture the left gate of Chang 'an, but captured the east gate of the imperial city-Dong 'anmen. They also lit Dong 'anmen by fire attack. The Dong 'anmen was full of branches and was also ablaze, but the rebels were still unable to break into the imperial city. By this time it was almost dawn. Sun Boring led the Beijing Guards after him, but the rebels couldn't resist and broke up. Cao Qin still stubbornly resisted. Cao led his men to fight. Sun boring command guards stormed, the rebels were defeated. At noon, he was killed, wounded by an arrow, and rode away. Wu Jin led five or six guards to counter-insurgency and met Cao Qin's men on the road. Although Cao Qin was at the end of the road, the trapped beast was still fighting, and Wu Jin and others were outnumbered, all of them were killed.
Wounded, Cao Qin returned to the East Street where he was stationed to resist the guards who came after him. Cao Xuan led 100 cavalry to attack back and forth, and made a final contest with the Guards, defeating the Guards' attacks again and again. The two sides fought until the sun set.
Sun bored in the rear bid, suppressed the defeated army, ordered marksmen to shoot arrows, and shot Cao Xuan soldiers at a distance with his own bow. The guards attacked again, after Cao Xuan. Sun Bo's son Sun Mo cut off Cao Qin's shoulder in the fierce battle, but Sun Mo was killed by Cao Qin's guards. Cao Qin felt that the tide was gone, and immediately commanded the military forces to try to escape from Chaoyangmen, without success; Running to Andingmen, Dongzhimen and Qihuamen (now Jianguomen), the gates were all closed by guards. It rained cats and dogs, and Cao Qin fled home overnight. Sun bored guards to kill; Ma ang, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Hou Sunjizong, the commander of the Guards, fought bravely and shouted loudly. The soldiers on guard shouted and killed Cao Qin's mansion, and surrounded them. Cao Shifu was attacked by the guards, and soldiers shouted and swarmed in, killing everyone they saw. Finally, Cao Qin jumped into the well, and Cao Duo died by the guard's knife, killing everyone in his family.
The emperor came to the Imperial Meridian Gate, announced the eunuch Cao Jixiang's rebellion, and ordered the guards to put Cao Jixiang in Douchayuan prison for detailed inspection, and abandoned him the next day. His henchmen and family members were also killed or exiled to Lingnan.
