The Liaodong issue has become more and more sensitive in the Ming Dynasty, and this matter is basically the starting point of the party struggle, to put it bluntly, it is actually a conflict of interests.

At this moment, the Donglin Party was a little panicked, Wei Zhongxian took advantage of Xiong Tingbi's matter to arrest Yao Zongwen, then Feng Sanyuan, Wei Yingjia, Zhang Xiude, and now a Li Ruzhen was involved.

If Yao Zongwen is just a small shrimp who has taken refuge in the Zhejiang Party, then Feng Sanyuan, Wei Yingjia, and Zhang Xiude are the people that the Donglin Party wants to protect.

Feng Sanyuan, Wei Yingjia, and Zhang Xiude are three people who want to be protected, but now the three of them are no longer the most important issue.

What's more, they still have their mouths open, so they can't ask for it. It's just that the key is now that Li Ruzhen is involved, who Li Ruzhen will be involved, and how many people will be involved, it's hard to say!

The people present listened to Gao Panlong's words, and their faces were not very good-looking, and the matter was indeed imminent.

"Although Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch, this person has the appearance of an eagle and a wolf, and from the beginning of sending that Taoist priest into the palace, this person has no good intentions." Zuo Guangdou also started at this time.

He continued to say loudly: "When the loyal and upright people in the DPRK impeached Wei Zhongxian, he took revenge on Xiong Tingbi. This is coming towards us, Wei Zhongxian is going to drive me and other righteous people out of the imperial court! ”

"Wei Zhongxian's treacherous and evil appearance, if he is not stopped, he will definitely be Liu Jin and Wang Zhi in the future, and the disaster will definitely be far above Liu Jin and Wang Zhi."

Everyone nodded in unison.

At this time, Zhao Nanxing also said with a resentful face: "It's comparable to Wang Zhenzhi and others." ”

Who is Wang Zhen?

In comparison, although Liu Jin and Wang Zhi were ruthless, Wang Zhen, the eunuch who made the Tumu Fort Change, was really guilty of a lot for Daming.

Because of the change of the civil fort he made, it was the turning point of the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline.

Zhao Nanxing directly compared Wei Zhongxian to Wang Zhen, which shows the fierceness of resentment in his heart.

All the people spoke, and there was a lot of discussion.

In the end, everyone made a decision to impeach Wei Zhongxian together, and even knelt down at noon for this.

In the palace, Zhu Youxiao sat in a wheelchair with his chin propped up, his legs covered with a blanket, and listened to Chen Hong's report to him, the expression on his face never changed.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said directly: "Okay, don't read it." ”

The Donglin Party is in turmoil, which Zhu Youxiao understands in his heart.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiao spoke: "Go and find Yang Lian and Zhao Nanxing for me." ”

At this time, Yang Lian's official residence was the left deputy capital of Yushi, and Zhao Nanxing was the right servant of the ministry, and the official positions of the two were not low, so it could be said that they held heavy power.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao wanted to meet these two people was very simple, that is, these two people were too famous.

Yang Lian's loyalty and backbone are praised by later generations, and Zhu Youxiao wants to see if he is suitable now.

Zhao Nanxing is the same thing, Zhao Nanxing is also one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, if there are people available in the Donglin Party, then Zhu Youxiao is willing to do something to split the Donglin Party.

"Yes, Emperor!" Chen Hong didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly agreed, and then quickly turned around and went out to find someone. The emperor hasn't summoned anyone these days, and now he has summoned Yang Lian and Zhao Nanxing, there must be something wrong here!

Soon these two men came.

Hearing Chen Hong's reply, Zhu Youxiao said, "Let Zhao Nanxing come in and take Yang Lian to the side hall to wait." Don't let the two see each other again until they're gone. ”

"Yes, Emperor." After Chen Hong agreed, he turned around and walked outside.

It didn't take long for Zhao Nanxing to walk in from outside, and after seeing Zhu Youxiao, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, signaling Zhao Nanxing to excuse himself, and at the same time looked up and down at one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, who was famous in later generations.

Zhao Nanxing's appearance is good, standing there has his own bearing, he looks like an upright person, and his overall image is like that in Zhu Shimao's sketches, but he can't see anything from his appearance at present.

"Zhao Aiqing." Zhu Youxiao called Zhao Nanxing, but then he coughed non-stop, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

Zhao Nanxing hurriedly raised his head: "Your Majesty still has to take care of the dragon body!" ”

At this time, Zhao Nanxing saw that Zhu Youxiao was actually sitting in a wheelchair, with a blanket on his body, and his face was not very good-looking, with an abnormal flush.

Zhao Nanxing's heart was chuckled, is Your Majesty's illness already so serious?

"It's okay, there are so many things in the imperial court, I can't be stable even if I want to." Zhu Youxiao said meaningfully.

"It's a dereliction of duty." Zhao Nanxing hurriedly bowed and said.

Zhu Youxiao immediately smiled: "Needless to say, there is something to talk to Aiqing about today." In the past few days, I have received a lot of inscriptions here, most of which impeach Wei Zhongxian, saying that Wei Zhongxian framed Zhongliang, persecuted and retaliated against officials, tortured to extract confessions, and tortured into tricks, saying that Wei Zhongxian had the appearance of a hawk and a wolf, and that he was Liu Jin and Wang Zhi. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao raised his head and looked at Zhao Nanxing: "Isn't it just to investigate the case and arrest a few people, why did it make such a big fuss, why did Aiqing teach me?" ”

Zhao Nanxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the head of governing the country is in the rule of officials, the officialdom is restless, and the officials are panicking, how can we talk about the rule of officials?" In order to avenge the impeachment of the courtiers against him, Wei Zhongxian sent people to prison and neglected the court for his own selfishness, which was a heinous crime, and the ministers asked Wei Zhongxian to be severely punished. ”

Looking at Zhao Nanxing, who was kneeling down with his clothes, Zhu Youxiao smiled, I don't know if Zhao Nanxing's character is like this, or if the Donglin Party is like this.

However, the Donglin Party dared to speak, dared to criticize the dragon scales, and even took pride in finding fault and criticizing the emperor, and it was not a day or two, so Zhu You didn't care about Zhao Nanxing's words.

Sighing lightly, Zhu Youxiao said a little weakly: "Okay, get up, don't kneel around." ”

When Zhao Nanxing stood up again, Zhu Youxiao said: "This is the question book from Dongchang, you can take a look." ”

Saying that, Zhu You made a look at Chen Hong beside him: "Show it to Zhao Aiqing." ”

Zhao Nanxing hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the question book, and after a quick look, his face was not very good.

"Why did Yao Zongwen and others frame Xiong Tingbi, it is clearly written, Liu Guojin colluded with Li Ruzhen to get rid of Xiong Tingbi, Yao Zongwen and Xiong Tingbi had a disagreement, so they naturally helped Liu Guojin impeach Xiong Tingbi. Of course, there's still money to be had. Saying that, Zhu Youxiao picked up another piece of evidence: "This is the confession of Feng Sanyuan, Wei Yingjia, and Zhang Xiude. ”

"It is clearly written in this that they received Li Ruzhen's silver bullet to impeach Xiong Tingbi, 3,000 taels of silver per person, which is not small, 3,000 taels per person, which is also fair."
