For his participation in the revolt of San Gil on June 22, 1866, he was sentenced to the death penalty . However, he escaped execution by fleeing abroad, from where he led actions to overthrow Queen Isabella II.
Revolution of 1868 and reign of King Amadeus
As chairman of the Partido Radical , he was one of the victors of the revolution of September 1868 ( La Gloriosa ), which ultimately led to the queen's abdication.
On October 8, 1868, he was appointed Minister of Promotion ( Ministro de Fomento ) to the governments of Francisco Serrano Domínguez and Juan Prim , to which he belonged until July 13, 1869, with the exception of a three-day break. In this office he established freedom of education. In addition, he ordered the transfer of religious libraries and archives into state ownership by decree . He also carried out extensive reforms in university studies. During this time he was also the incumbent Minister of the Interior ( Ministro de Gobernación ) from April to May 1869 due to the incumbent's illness . As part of a government reshuffle, he then took over from July 13, 1869 to January 9, 1870 in the Prim cabinet, the office of Minister for Appeals for Mercy and Justice ( Ministro de Gracia y Justicia ).
After a hiatus of several years, he was not elected again until January 15, 1869, as a member of parliament, where he represented the interests of the constituencies of Madrid , Soria and Palencia for four terms until May 1873 .
During this time he was also from January 17, 1870 to January 2, 1871 President of Parliament ( Presidente de la Cámara ). In this office he chaired the session of the Cortes on the proclamation of Amadeus Ferdinand Maria of Savoy as King of Spain in November 1870.
Subsequently, on January 4, 1871, he was again appointed Minister of Promotion in the government of Serrano Domínguez, of which he was a member until the end of his term on July 24, 1871.
He then became Serrano's successor in the office of President of the Government of Spain ( Presidente del Gobierno ) . As such, he formed a cabinet in office until October 5, 1871, in which he himself also took over the office of Minister of the Interior. As President of the Government, he pursued a policy directed against the ideology of Práxedes Mateo Sagasta , which ultimately led to the split in the Partido Progresista . José Malcampo Monge then succeeded as President of the Government .
After the resignation of Serrano Domínguez, he was again his successor as President of the Government on June 13, 1872. This time, too, he took over the office of Minister of the Interior in his government. Ruis Zorilla was the last government president of King Amadeus.

First Spanish Republic and rule of King Alfonso XII.
After the short-lived First Spanish Republic and the proclamation of Alfonso XII on December 29, 1874 . As the founder of the Partido Republicana Progresista, he was one of the leading leaders of the opposition , the son of Queen Isabella II., King of Spain . As such, he attempted in vain to overthrow the monarchy by the military ( Pronunciamiento Militar ) during the first government of Antonio Cánovas del Castillo .
In 1883 he was instrumental in establishing the Military - Republican Association ( Asociación Republicana Militar ). However, his attempts to gain the support of the republican forces in France were unsuccessful . During the uprisings of Badajoz in 1883, Cartagena in 1886, General Villacampa near Madrid in 1886 and other places, he published pamphlets in support of the rebels, which however did not lead to the overthrow of the monarchy due to the lack of support from the civilian population.
On February 1, 1891, he was again elected member of parliament, where he finally represented the interests of the constituencies of Barcelona until his death and then from March 5, 1893 of Madrid. As early as 1893, together with Nicolás Salmerón, he laid the foundations for the establishment of the Unión Republicana . However, due to his death, it was no longer founded.
The primary school ( Colegio Publico ) was named after him in his hometown, Burgo de Osma . The city of Burgos later had a monument erected for him.
