Chapter 102: The Choice

The result?

Yang Lian and Zou Yuanbiao were imprisoned, and Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, and Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, were also implicated, and things suddenly became out of control.

If this situation is allowed to continue, how many people will be implicated in the DPRK and China?

Now the question arises, how exactly can this situation be reversed?

The conversation between Sun Shenxing and Zhao Nanxing began with this purpose in mind.

The two men were silent with each other.

They know what they have to do, but they don't dare to do it.

If they had listened to Han Yi before, then the result would have been very simple, it would have been nothing more than giving up Feng Sanyuan and the others. It's not good to say it, but these people are also at fault first, and they can cover it up somewhat. Probably the others won't be much of a challenger.

But that's no longer the case. If you were to give up now, who would you give up?

That was Zou Yuanbiao, the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yuan Yingtai, the former governor of Liaodong, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, and Yang Lian, the rising star of the Donglin Party. If these four people are abandoned, what will the other Donglin Party members think?

It's easy to get distracted by doing this. When people's hearts are scattered, the team will not be easy to lead.

The key problem is that his people will be attacked, and even people will be ruined, and at the same time, his reputation in Shilin will be completely ruined.

Neither of them dared to make this determination.

You must know that everyone didn't want to severely punish Feng Sanyuan and others before, and there was this worry.

Because the whole case was set off by Wei Zhongxian from Dongchang, if everyone advocates severe punishment, wouldn't it be wearing a pair of pants with Wei Zhongxian? What do you make others think?

Follow the eunuchs to frame your colleagues, you are properly spineless; If you take refuge in the eunuchs, all your reputation will be over.

The Donglin Party touted each other and the business praised each other, relying on this reputation. Everyone works together for the country and the king, once this reputation is gone, it is equivalent to digging up the roots of the Donglin Party. Isn't that a tree falling and scattering?

Things got hard in an instant.

There is a solution, but there is no way to do it.

The two of them are also riding tigers now.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Nanxing raised his head and looked at Sun Shenxing, and said slowly: "Why don't you find Sun Chengzong?" ”

Let the two of them go to Han Yi, they really can't pull their faces.

In addition, if you go to Han Yi now, it will be equivalent to admitting defeat to Han Yi. They didn't think Han Yi was helpful.

You must know that Han Yi is also a bigwig in the DPRK and China, and he must have his own interests. If you find it now, it is difficult to guarantee that Han Yi will not make any requests.

In order to make up for the previous mistakes, in order to let Han Yi come to the rescue, the price must be very large. Maybe it's not a matter of a few official positions, but to support Han Yi and seize the position of the first assistant scholar of the cabinet.

Everyone knows that that position didn't want Liu Yijing to sit for too long, but at the same time, it was not for Han Yi.

Under such circumstances, at such a price, Sun Shenxing and the two of them really didn't dare to do it.

Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sighed, and said a little helplessly: "It can only be like this, I hope Sun Chengzong can persuade Your Majesty." We don't ask for anything else, as long as Zou Yuanbiao and the four of them don't have an accident. ”

Zhao Nanxing nodded.

By this time, it is no longer possible to not bleed. Feng Sanyuan and the others can't be saved, but Zou Yuanbiao and the other four still have to be saved.

Both men said so, but neither seemed to have much confidence.

However, the two of them have reached a consensus, that is, to advance and retreat together.

If Sun Chengzhong can be persuaded to keep Zou Yuanbiao and the four of them, then the two of them will take a step forward.

If you can't keep it, then you have to retreat, and you even have to be prepared to be implicated.

In a word, you can't be soft.

You can't lose your reputation.

Even if the official position is lost, the reputation must be preserved.

In this way, even if the two of them went down, their reputation in Shilin was preserved.

Although Sun Shenxing and the two didn't say much, they reached a consensus.

Cabinet duty room.

Han Yi stood at the window, expressionless as he looked at the green shoots outside.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

Han Yi knew that the matter was irreparable now, and His Majesty no longer trusted many people. In Han Yi's view, the Donglin Party is playing a good hand of cards to a pulp.

But he can't help it, and he can't change anything. Those people didn't listen to him in the first place, anyway, their own ideas have already come out, and their responsibilities have been fulfilled, and the rest doesn't matter.

"Elder Ge." The voice of the clerk sounded behind him.

Han Yi didn't turn his head either, just stood with his hands behind his back, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Go back to the Pavilion Elder, Lord Shoufu has something to ask the Pavilion Elder to come over." The clerk hurriedly bowed and said.

Now there is a lot of uproar outside, and the cabinet is not stable.

Although several academics did not express their position, it is also an attitude that they did not take a stand.

A lot of people down there can't stand it anymore.

These days, there are a lot of papers for the impeachment of several cabinet scholars, and the number is still on the rise.

Obviously, some people can't stand it anymore, and the content of the impeachment is varied, and some things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain have been turned out.

At this point, the cabinet is naturally panicked.

To put it bluntly, people outside are forcing a few cabinet scholars to express their positions, and then use their weight to force the emperor, and then let the emperor compromise.

It's not the first time I've done this kind of thing.

If the three of them don't do it, they will either resign or be scolded.

The old clay sculpture of the three pavilions of the paper paste back then was scolded for countless years, and it is still regarded as a traitor by the civil officials. In the cabinet, if you don't want to be notorious, then you have to do something to make the civil servants look at it.

So the atmosphere in the cabinet is not good.

Now is the time for an avalanche, and no snowflake can stop it.

Han Yi nodded, and said in a calm tone, "Okay, I know." ”

With that, he turned around and walked outside.

He didn't know what Liu Yijing wanted to talk about with him, but he knew that it must have something to do with this incident.

Coming to the duty room of the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, Han Yi found that Liu Yijing was looking at him with a smile.

Han Yi sighed a little helplessly.

Today's situation is somewhat beneficial to Liu Yijing. Because originally once the situation stabilized, the first thing everyone had to do was to replace Liu Yijing, a cabinet scholar, because he couldn't control the Donglin Party.

Of course, Han Yi knew that he couldn't hold it back.

Once Liu Yijing goes down, it will definitely not be him Lao Han who will come up, but someone else.

Now that things have reached this point, naturally no one wants to move Liu Yijing away. It's not that those people think he's useful, it's not that those people don't want to touch him, it's because there's too much mess to take care of.

But now the choice is also in front of Han Yi, what should he do?

"Yu Chen is here? Sit. Liu Yijing greeted Han Yi with a smile.
