Chapter 373: The Donglin Party Chooses Mingzhe to Protect His Life (Thanks to EnjoyMM for the reward!) )
The next day, the sun was like fire, like a astrolabe, and it went straight to the middle of the day.
Many people see this kind of celestial phenomenon after going out, and their hearts are faintly uneasy, but looking at the north side, the Forbidden City is especially there, the majesty is still there, the Ming Dynasty is still there, the sky is falling, and there is also the imperial court on top.
They can only let go of this worry, carry a hoe on their shoulders, and go to the fields or the streets and neighbors to do their own things.
Hanfu.
This morning, a piece of news spread in the officialdom of the Jingshi, like a plague, and even the cabinet chief assistant was restless when he heard it.
"Master, Lord Liu, they are shouting again, the more people outside the door are shouting, the more they are shouting, let's see them!"
The housekeeper hurriedly came, and he didn't know what happened to the kung fu of this sleep, which shook the officials of the Ming Dynasty again.
Han Yi sat quietly in the hall, his eyes closed, but his breathing was not steady, showing that his heart was not as calm as it appeared.
"Call Liu Zongzhou, Yuan Huazhong, and Gu Dazhang to come in, and the rest of the people will say that I am infected with the wind and cold, and it is inconvenient to see guests, so ask them to come back!"
After thinking about it for a while, Han Yi decided to meet these Donglin colleagues.
"Elder Ge, you can count on us!"
Liu Zongzhou and a few people walked into the house, but before anyone arrived, gossiping voices came in one after another.
"Cui Chengxiu entered the palace to face the saint, and then left the palace overnight!"
"What did Your Majesty say to him?"
"Oh, my pavilion elder, don't hide it anymore, don't you know, this morning's kung fu, the court is noisy!"
When Han Yi heard this, he realized the seriousness of this matter, opened his eyes and said:
"What are they arguing about?"
Liu Zongzhou sat aside and patted his thighs continuously:
"Those who are officials in the court, who are not honest in front of them and careful behind their backs, everyone has several masks. As soon as Cui Chengxiu came out of Beijing, some people guessed that His Majesty asked him to negotiate peace with Jiannu in private. ”
Yuan Huazhong also said: "Yes, I just said yesterday that I refused to negotiate peace, but this kind of thing happened this morning, where will the face of the court go?" ”
Gu Dazhang arched his hand and pleaded: "If you don't come out to preside over the situation again, the news of the court's peace will reach the people, and you won't be able to control it!" ”
"When rumors are spreading, how can the eunuchs let go of this opportunity to take revenge on us? Wei Gelding's minions have another excuse to arrest people on a large scale! ”
Han Yi let out a "hmm", pressed one hand on the table, and asked, "Do you think that Cui Chengxiu got His Majesty's secret decree and went out of Beijing to make peace with Jiannu?" ”
Liu Zongzhou first shook his head, and then nodded:
"It is said that Cui Chengxiu was ordered to meet and had a game of chess with His Majesty in Xinuan, His Majesty held the black son, Cui Chengxiu held the white son, and was killed by His Majesty and defeated."
"This is nothing, who knew that after Cui Chengxiu left the palace, he called a few domestic servants and went straight to Liaodong!"
"Elder Ge, tell me, isn't this going to discuss peace in private?"
When Han Yi heard this, the expression on his face changed again and again, he pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Do you think Cui Chengxiu is stupid to negotiate peace?" ”
"Stupid!"
Yuan Huazhong sneered loudly: "Now inside and outside the court, the call to resist Jiannu is so high, is it that Your Majesty today, dare to defy the condemnation of the world and advocate peace?" ”
"Your Majesty is heavy on military force, in this way, it will be difficult to subdue the hearts of the soldiers and soldiers of Liaodong, how can we talk about the rest of the Liao people and the people of the Central Plains?"
"Xiaguan dares to guarantee that as long as this news reaches the people, Cui Chengxiu will definitely be a heinous sinner, even Your Majesty, and he will not be protected!"
Gu Dazhang nodded, and also said: "This is indeed the truth, Cui Chengxiu thought that he had obtained His Majesty's secret decree and went north to negotiate peace, but he didn't know that this was the Longtan Tiger's Den!" ”
Speaking of these, Han Yi's eyebrows gradually became gloomy.
Right and wrong, protecting people and outcasts, only he knows best what the current Emperor of the Apocalypse in his early twenties really thinks.
If this matter is done well, everyone will be happy, but if it is not done well, it will be the head of the person.
In order to block this news, the emperor must find someone to replace the charges, either Cui Chengxiu, or his own Donglin Party, if he is involved, he will inevitably cut off the head of himself, the head of the cabinet chief, all the way to the head of the troublemaking student.
Han Yi knew in his heart that the current emperor's temperament was very different from before, and he already had military power in his hands, and he could do anything.
Thinking of this, Han Yi's eyebrows were even more gloomy.
Seeing that the first assistant of the cabinet had not moved, several "Donglin gentlemen" gradually lowered their voices, turned their eyes to look at the important minister of the court.
Han Yi thought for a while and said:
"Your Majesty drops out early every day, and before you finish school, and at such an age, it is inevitable that you will be impulsive about good things. Many things have been done just for a while, and Cui Chengxiu has his own public opinion on whether he is stupid or smart, black or white. ”
"Listen to the advice of the old man, it's better not to provoke yourself in this matter..."
Hearing Han Yi's heavy tone, the people below immediately understood how deep the water was in this matter.
To put it bluntly, this is a big drama played by the emperor, and the main target is not these people, but the Jiannu of Liaodong.
None of them could guess what the emperor had in mind about Jiannu, but the emperor's goal would change as things unfolded.
The news of Cui Chengxiu's departure from the palace is best just a Cui Chengxiu leaving the palace, if it spreads and spreads to the people, it becomes something "Cui Chengxiu privately discusses peace with the secret order", this matter will be a big deal.
Judging from the experience of the first few years of the Apocalypse, there are only two possibilities for this to happen.
Either the news will be suppressed as soon as possible and no one will die, or the person who spread the news will be killed on the charge of "spreading rumors" before it can be cleaned up, and the blood will flow like a river.
Wei Zhongxian's East Factory, Xu Xianchun's Jinyiwei, is the best knife for these things!
These Donglin people present are actually not radicals like Yang Lian, and there will always be some leeway in their actions, or they will not stay until now.
Han Yi's tone was terrifying, and the meaning of his words made people tremble even more.
When they were fidgeting, they saw the housekeeper of the Han Mansion leading a few maids up with their clothes and placing them in front of them one by one.
Han Yi waved his hand and said:
"You have changed into these regular clothes, and go out of the house through the small door."
A few people changed their clothes, and they had just taken a few steps, but they heard Han Yi coughing violently in the back, and then said slowly:
"Remember, you haven't been here, and I haven't seen you."
"Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, has been suffering from the wind and cold these days, and has been recuperating at home, closing his doors, and not knowing anything about the affairs inside and outside, and not asking anything."
"The way to protect one's self..."
Liu Zongzhou and the others glanced at each other, and they all gave up their hands, and they no longer cared about any etiquette, turned around and followed the housekeeper and left.
......
When the news came back to Dongchang, Fu Yingxing laughed:
"Look at the people who scared these righteous gentlemen, what did they read from this Xinuan Pavilion chess game?"
"If you are like this, you dare to call yourself a celebrity?"
Wei Zhongxian sneered and said:
"They are not cowardice, this is called alertness, this is the wisdom of officialdom to protect themselves!"
"Your Majesty asked Cui Chengxiu to go out of the customs this time, which is a big deal in officialdom, and the smart one has long been like Master Han, who has contracted the wind and cold and closed his door."
"At this time, only those stunned young people who have just entered the officialdom will publicize the news everywhere for the sake of the famous festival, and what we want to catch in Dongchang is this group of people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic."
Then, Wei Zhongxian sighed lightly, sat on the chair with the support of Fanzi, and sighed:
"It's Han Yi's gang of Donglin, who know how to advance and retreat, and they didn't explicitly want Dongchang to arrest them, I'm afraid they will have to go down with the governor!"
Fu Yingxing didn't understand yet, and shouted loudly:
"What are you afraid of, now that the power of Dongchang is so large, I will arrange some charges to put on their heads at will, first cut and then play!"
Wei Zhongxian shook his head again and again, and said:
"I'm afraid that when Donglin dies cleanly, the governor will die soon..."
