Chapter 7 Han Yi's Speech

Seeing Chen Hong walk away, the expressions of the people in the duty room were different, but there was one thing that everyone understood, that is, this matter was troublesome.

Liu Yijing was very hesitant in his heart, what does Your Majesty mean by this?

Xiong Tingbi was taken out at the beginning, others didn't know what was going on, how could Liu Yijing not know? That is, the Donglin Party is excluding dissidents!

Not to mention just one Xiong Tingbi, how about the original cabinet chief assistant Fang Congzhe?

Fang Congzhe was basically a solitary person in the late Wanli period, and after the Emperor of the Apocalypse succeeded to the throne, the old man knew that he had lost the function of the balancer, and he was useless in the court, so he didn't go home?

But His Majesty is now going to transfer back Yuan Yingtai and use Xiong Tingbi again, and the water in it looks very deep!

"What should I do?" Liu Yijing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In fact, Liu Yijing also knows that he is only occupying a seat now, and it won't be long before he has to go down.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yijing smiled self-deprecatingly, he is like this now, what do you want to do? What does this have to do with me, just listen to His Majesty's wishes.

"Gong Liu, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this matter, right?"

Liu Yijing can bear it, but there are people who can't bear it, and this person is Han Yi, a second-assistant university scholar in the cabinet.

is different from Liu Yijing, this Han Yi is a real veteran of the Donglin Party, and he has participated in the major affairs of the DPRK as much as Ye Xianggao, and his decisions can still be fair, and he can coexist with the ministers of the Zhejiang Party.

Ousting Yuan Yingtai and reinstating Xiong Tingbi, this matter can't be passed here in Han Yi, and he doesn't look down on Xiong Tingbi.

It's just that he is only the second assistant, and he wants Liu Yijing to agree with him, at least to reach an agreement on this matter.

Glancing at Han Yi, Liu Yixiao immediately smiled, waved his hand to interrupt him and asked, "What does Han Gong think?" ”

Without waiting for Han Yi to speak, Liu Yixiao got up and closed the door, before slowly sitting back and continuing: "After all, this matter is His Majesty's will, I'm afraid it won't be good." ”

What does it mean to be unlucky, Liu Yijing's words are polite, in fact, he is telling Han Yi that this is His Majesty's holy decree, if you want to object, then you should also go to Your Majesty. What's the use of you looking for me, do you want me to resist the will? I don't have the ability to turn around for you.

After a slight sigh, Han Yi agreed: "Then I will go to see Your Majesty and face the benefits!" With that, he straightened his back slightly, turned around and opened the door and strode out of the cabinet's duty room.

Watching Han Yi's back fade away, Liu Yijing sat on the chair, stroked his somewhat gray beard and showed a meaningful smile.

In the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao leaned on the couch, with no expression on his face, and he was thinking about the affairs of Liaodong in his heart.

I don't know if it's too late to transfer Xiong Tingbi to the past, don't wait for him to get to Liaodong, the entire Liaodong has already been defeated.

Once Liaoyang and Shenyang are lost, then the entire Liaodong will be in danger, and Houjin will have a completely foundation!

"Emperor, Cabinet University Scholar Han Yi asks to see!" Chen Hong cautiously walked in and bowed.

Han Yi came, Zhu Youxiao was not surprised, he knew that things could not go so smoothly, sat up, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Let him come in!" ”

After a while, Han Yi walked in from outside and saluted the emperor respectfully.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Aiqing, don't be polite!" Aiqing asks to see me, what is the so-called matter? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is here for Liaodong to pass through Yuan Yingtai, as far as the minister knows, Yuan Yingtai is in Liaoyang, Shenyang area, lenient and benevolent and loves the people, and has a very high reputation in the army. I don't know Your Majesty's ......" Han Yi has been in officialdom for decades, and naturally he has learned to speak halfway.

He came to find out what the emperor was thinking, so he naturally had to say half of it.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Han Yi lightly, smiled lightly, and was noncommittal: "What does Aiqing think?" ”

In fact, Zhu Youxiao's sense of Han Yi is not bad, although this person is a veteran of the Donglin Party, but there is still a bottom line in doing things.

For example, the more famous Donglin Party in history wanted to set off an unjust case, you must know that in the matter of party disputes, the Donglin Party has always dared to be ruthless.

Concocting a big case is always the best way to solve some people. When you physically eliminate your opponent, then you are in a way, then you are considered a victory.

Those big cases set off by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, are there people who have been wronged? No one knows about this, but those people are definitely among the purges. It is the most common method to set off a big case and encircle all the people who are hostile to you and eliminate them.

With such a good way, how could the Donglin Party let it go?

For a while, there was an incident in which the Donglin Party began to liquidate the "Red Pill Case", that is, Li Kezhuo, the Cheng of Honglu Temple, gave the red pill medicine that Emperor Guangzong took when he was sick, and died after taking two pills in a row.

At that time, there was a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition, and some Donglin Party members tried to take the opportunity to vent their anger. In April of the second year of the Apocalypse, Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, impeached Fang Congzhe with Li Kezhuo to offer red pills, which was the same crime as killing the monarch and rebelling, and the court was chaotic and there was no unified opinion.

At that time, Liu Yixiao had already resigned, so Han Yi insisted on defending the matter, so he gave a note to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who had ascended the throne, and detailed the beginning and end of Chen Jinyao.

It is mentioned in the recital: "Those who discuss the law should not turn small suspicions into big doubts, and compilers should not slander history by believing in history", and beware of not starting a big prison because of this incident, thus protecting Fang Congzhe, the leader of the first auxiliary and Zhejiang party, and not causing a major injustice.

This incident is that some people in the Donglin Party are preparing to concoct a big case of killing the monarch and plotting rebellion in order to completely kill their political enemies, directly set up a prison, and coerce all their political enemies into it to kill them.

But people like Han Yi refused, he knew that the party struggle could be fought, but it must not rise to the point of asking for people's lives at every turn, or even concocting a major case of rebellion.

Once it reaches that point, it will really be an endless end, but things are not as Han Yi thought, with the Qi, Zhejiang, and Chu parties defecting to Wei Zhongxian and the rise of the eunuch party, this rule was broken.

Since Wei Zhongxian killed the so-called Six Gentlemen of Donglin, the party struggle of the Ming Dynasty has slipped into a situation of life and death.

This is why even when it comes to the destruction of the country, these people are still fighting to the death?

Because once the battle is lost, even if you don't destroy the country, you won't be able to live.

Now it is Zhu Youxiao who has crossed over, although he is in a rare chaotic era in history, he knows the general trend of history in the center of the whirlpool, and it is naturally impossible to let the situation slide into the abyss.

He also knew that the foundation of the Donglin Party was not these people in the court, but the gentry group in Jiangnan. They annexed land, smuggled land, and traded at sea, so to speak, every family was rich, but they always wanted not to pay taxes. Therefore, the Donglin Party advocated valuing agriculture and suppressing business, and hiding wealth from the people.

Even if all these Donglin Party members in the DPRK and China are deposed and killed, what can they do? The new participants in the party struggle are still coming forward from generation to generation.

If this problem cannot be fundamentally solved, the Donglin Party will always exist.

The Donglin Party represents the newly promoted industrial and commercial gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, while the Qizhejiang Chu Party represents the big landlord class, but the two parties are friends, and they are both forming parties for personal gain.

In Zhu Youxiao's heart, there is no difference between the two parties. All he has to do is how to take advantage of both parties and then grab his own benefits from them.
