Chapter Eighty-Three: Preparing for a Great Counteroffensive
In Gao Panlong's view, it is absolutely impossible to admit defeat to Wei Zhongxian, because this means admitting that he is not good, and Wei Zhongxian cannot let him go because he admits defeat.
Again, this is not a struggle between civilian officials.
Glancing at Han Yi, Gao Panlong's face had become a little unsightly.
In Gao Panlong's view, Han Yi is just for his official position as a cabinet scholar, and he does not want to continue to make trouble, but hopes to calm down the struggle as soon as possible.
Because this is the most beneficial for Han Yi.
If the struggle continues, once the matter is investigated, it is likely to implicate Han Yi.
As for the location of his people, it is very likely that they will be taken over by Han Yi's people, which is not a difficult thing for him.
Thinking of this, Gao Panlong's face suddenly became a little unsightly.
After pondering for a moment, Gao Panlong opened his mouth and said, "In this way, wouldn't you admit defeat to Wei Zhongxian?" When we read the books of the sages and follow the way of Confucius and Mencius, how can we be so undignified? It is better to be broken than to be complete. If we are dedicated to serving the country, how can we bow down to people like Wei Zhongxian because of a small ordeal? ”
After listening to Gao Panlong's words, Han Yi's face was also a little unsightly.
He is actually not a hardcore Donglin Party, not to mention that not all these people in the Donglin Party listen to him.
If he has this prestige and dominating ability, after getting Liu Yixiao down in the original history, it should be Han Yi who will take over, not Ye Xianggao.
Gao Panlong may give Han Yi face, but it is basically impossible for him to follow Han Yi's orders to do things.
Glancing at Gao Panlong, Han Yi also knew that he couldn't convince him.
In his own opinion, Gao Panlong and others are dying.
Can't they see that this is not admitting defeat to Wei Zhongxian, but to His Majesty?
The top priority is to make His Majesty trust his own people again, instead of fighting to the death with Wei Zhongxian.
Han Yi knew that they could see Gao Panlong, and they understood it, but they couldn't do it.
Once Zou Yuanbiao is abandoned and Yang Lian is abandoned, the consequences are unbearable for the Donglin Party. Therefore, even if they knew that there was a problem ahead, Gao Panlong and they had to move forward, even if they knew that His Majesty would severely punish them.
However, looking at Gao Panlong's appearance, Han Yi also saw something.
That's what they're going to do again.
Even if they are dismissed in the end, they must use the slogan of asking for the people's lives, and even if they return to their hometowns when the time comes, it will be a sonic shock to the government and the opposition, and it is an extremely glorious thing.
But Han Yi knows that this retreat seems to be patriotic and free, but who will do the things of the DPRK and China?
This retreat seems to be broad-minded, but in fact it is extremely cowardly.
In a situation like this, they're likely to put everybody in there.
But Han Yi also knew that he couldn't stop it.
Glancing at Gao Panlong, Han Yi said directly: "Then you can do it yourself." ”
In fact, Han Yi knew that Gao Panlong's words just now were already accusing himself, saying that he was cowardly and that he was afraid of Wei Zhongxian.
On the one hand, this is the method of agitation, putting yourself on their side; On the one hand, this is a threat, and if you are not on their side, then all kinds of attacks will await you.
However, in Han Yi's opinion, Wei Zhongxian's methods could not be just that, and soon Gao Panlong and they would reap the consequences.
After saying this, Han Yi picked up the teacup, and the meaning was obvious, that is, to send off guests.
At this point, Gao Panlong was naturally embarrassed to stay any longer, stood up and arched his hand at Han Yi, then turned around and walked out.
He was going to contact more people and prepare for a big counteroffensive.
Looking at Gao Panlong's back, Han Yi showed a helpless look on his face.
Sighing softly, Han Yi stood up and walked out of the study slowly.
He is ready to go to the cabinet, and as for the future, Han Yi is ready to take a look. There was no way for him to reach out on his own.
If you are implicated, then resign and go home!
When he came out of Han Yi's mansion, Gao Panlong's face was faintly angry.
Regarding Han Yi's statement, Gao Panlong was very dissatisfied.
In Gao Panlong's view, this is a life-and-death struggle for power, and it is absolutely impossible to retreat.
Once you choose to retreat, then you will lose everything. The things I have now have taken a lot of effort to obtain.
Glancing back at Han Yi's mansion, Gao Panlong flicked his sleeves and strode forward.
At this time, he needed to connect some people, those Donglin Party in the capital, including Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Nanxing, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and Sun Chengzong, the emperor's teacher.
They're going to prepare for a big counteroffensive.
In the Forbidden City.
Zhu Youxiao stood at the door of the main hall, looking at the somewhat gloomy sky in the distance, and the sky at such a time was not very good.
The Ming Dynasty is like this gloomy sky, and it still has a long way to go if it wants to clear the clouds and see the sun.
"Emperor," Chen Hong came behind Zhu Youxiao and said cautiously: "The commander of the Jinyi Guard is Luo Sigong, who asks to see him." ”
Through this period of contact, Chen Hong was probably able to judge the mood of his emperor.
The emperor's mood is obviously bad now, so Chen Hong is extremely careful when he speaks, for fear of angering the emperor.
Luo Sigong is here, could it be that the person he was waiting for has arrived?
Zhu Youxiao's gloomy mood improved slightly, turned his head to look at Chen Hong, and ordered, "Bring him in." ”
"Yes, Emperor." After Chen Hong agreed, he turned around and walked outside.
Coming outside, Chen Hong saw Luo Sigong at a glance.
saw Chen Hong walk out. Luo Sigong hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
Regarding his current situation, Luo Sigong is very clear in his heart.
Judging from His Majesty's style of acting during this time, His Majesty is going to reuse Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
Then it means that a new battle is about to begin.
What they are fighting for is His Majesty's favor. Whoever can earn this favor will be able to gain more power.
In the past few years, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have staged such a competition countless times. The victor will not only gain the trust of His Majesty. It is also able to mobilize the other party.
However, in this kind of competition, Jinyi Wei lost more than he won.
This Luo Sigong knows, and he also knows where Jinyiwei's weaknesses are.
Although Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, he cannot enter the palace to see the emperor at any time. Compared with Wei Zhongxian of the East Factory, Jinyiwei's disadvantages are too obvious.
This time, His Majesty gave Dongchang and Jinyiwei errands respectively, and Dongchang has already achieved a great advantage. I believe that it won't take long for the East Factory to do the errand beautifully.
Jin Yiwei is already lagging behind, if no one says good things for himself, then Jin Yiwei will definitely not be able to compete for the East Factory.
At that time, there are only two roads in front of him, one is to be a dog for Wei Zhongxian, wagging his tail in front of Wei Zhongxian and begging for mercy, Luo Sigong does not want to see such a situation; The other is not to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and give up the position, Luo Sigong is unwilling.
