It was the imperial historian Fang Kezhuang who said this, and he had too close contacts with Zuo Guangdou in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and was praised as "impeaching the treacherous and evil, sparing no effort", and it is said that the party has already operated him to patrol the two Huai Yan Zheng. When he returned from patrolling salt, he was recommended by the Ministry of Officials for the post of political envoy of Henan, which can be regarded as a spring breeze.

"And this?"

Yang Lian's friend, Jishi Miao Chang, a member of the Hanlin Academy, stood up in shock, "Yang Chu, why haven't I heard about this matter?" ”

Fang Kezhuang said: "The stakes are very high, and the Ministry of Rites doesn't dare to believe it, so we have to send someone to investigate." ”

"Is this true or not?" Xiong Mingyu was also shocked, if the matter was true, then Wei Biao would be even more arrogant than Wang Zhen and Liu Jin of the previous dynasty.

"When there will be no fake, the Korean envoy came by fishing boat across the sea, almost drowned on the way, and did not dare to reveal his identity, all the way to the capital as a beggar, if it is not for the great grievance, how can the envoy of a country fall like this?" Fang Kezhuang said sympathetically.

Miao Changqi was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Why did you cross the sea and come?" North Korea is connected to our country's flood channel, so why should the envoys toss to the sea? ”

"I don't know the specifics, the news revealed by the Ministry of Rites said that Wei Gelding made his minions block the channel, and he covered a dense net on the sea, and did not let the North Korean boats and ships cross the border at all, I guess Wei Gelding took such a lot of trouble to prevent the court from knowing about the affairs over there, which caused the anger of the imperial court."

Fang Kezhuang guessed that seven or eight are not far from ten, and the truth of the matter is indeed the case.

"The legal net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, Wei Eunuch has done such a big rebellion in the vassals, what else does the Ministry of Rites have to investigate, don't hurry up and play the Son of Heaven!"

Yang Lianqi's beard is upturned, he is known as the "beautiful bearded man", and his long beard is very good-looking.

Fang Kezhuang knew that Yang Lian was in a hurry, and said with a wry smile when he saw this: "Da Hong should not be in a hurry, after all, this matter is very important, and it is too terrifying, and the Ministry of Rites should be cautious, in case what the envoy said is not true, wouldn't it be for Wei Gelding to bite back?" ”

Zuo Guangdou, who had never spoken, snorted: "I think this thing is eighty percent true, do you still remember the old things in Annan back then?" ”

When Emperor Wen was established, Hu Hancang, the prime minister of Annam, presented himself to Chengzu with the title of having the right to manage the state affairs of Annam, falsely claiming that the descendants of the Chen Dynasty were extinct, claiming to be the nephew of the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, and was recommended by the ministers and asked to be crowned the king of Annam.

Chengzu doubted its authenticity and sent an envoy to Thanh Hoa to investigate, but Hu Hancang summoned the ministers of Annam to jointly write to Chengzu, and finally Chengzu named Hu Hancang the king of Annam. In the edict, he also admonished Hu Hancang: "Do good and be auspicious, show the way, be compassionate and compassionate, and go to Xin Naicheng." ”

Soon after, however, an Annam man named Chen Tianping entered the Ming Dynasty from Ailao, claiming to be the son of Chen Yizong, and informed Chengzu of Hu Jichen's usurpation. Chengzu sent the imperial historian Li Qi to Annan to investigate the matter. Hu Jichen was afraid of being discovered, so he sent people to hunt down Li Qi, who successfully escaped back to the Ming Dynasty and told Chengzu all of it, which caused Chengzu's anger, so he sent a large army to expedition to Annam, and later set up Annan's political envoy to govern the land of his country.

Zuo Guangdou was about forty years old, similar to Yang Lian, but not as straightforward as Yang Lian, and his demeanor seemed much calmer. He apparently thought that the Korean envoys who had crossed the sea, like Na Annan Chen Tianping, had risked their lives to tell the truth to the imperial court. Therefore, things will not be fake.

"Yes, that's the case, we should immediately report to the book to expose this matter and give justice to North Korea!" Yang Lian has always respected Zuo Guangdou, and seeing that he also thinks this matter is true, he slapped the table again at the moment, and he couldn't wait to write a good note and send it to the General Administration Department immediately.

Fang Kezhuang said: "Dahong, even if this matter is true, it must be investigated by the Ministry of Rites before it can be impeached, and it is not appropriate to write a book at present." ”

"Why not? At present, it is the best opportunity for the public to break the three-party alliance, so you can't miss it! ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Wenyan entered the house and bowed to Yang Lian and the others, and there was a couplet hanging on the wall opposite him.

There were several people in the room who knew Wang Wenyan, and some who didn't, and they were all curious when they looked at him, and they didn't know why this person said what he said just now.

"Why do you say that?"

Yang Lian glanced at Wang Wenyan, he was not familiar with this person, nor was he cordial, he only knew that this person was the private minister of the prince of the East Palace, and he had been contacting Donglin privately for the prince in the past few years. When the servant posted this person before, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that there was something going on with the prince.

"As you know, this is the best chance to break the three-party alliance!"

Wang Wenyan was loud, but he was secretly happy in his heart, he was thinking about how to persuade these Donglin upstarts, but now he doesn't need to bother with anything.

"What's the origin of this man?"

Xiong Mingyu, who didn't know the details of Wang Wenyan, asked Zuo Guangdou beside him in a low voice, and after Zuo Guangdou said to him, he got up and looked at Wang Wenyan, and said: "I heard that you Wang Wenyan is very capable, and everything in Beijing is counted, so why is it a good opportunity to break the three parties now?" ”

Wang Wenyan owed a debt and said to everyone: "Princesses, at present, Qi, Chuzhe, Zhejiang and other traitorous parties are in a group, and they are pointing out that the ministers of the DPRK and China are 'Donglin', and they will be expelled... Although I, the princes of Donglin, don't care about them, but as time goes by, it will inevitably increase my morale and fall into my dignity. Therefore, Wang has been thinking about how to break the three-party alliance, return the court to a clean court, and understand the world. ”

"You pick it up."

Xiong Mingyu knew from Zuo Guangdou that Wang Wenyan was just a private minister of the prince of the East Palace, and he had no official status, so he was quite disdainful.

Wang Wenyan nodded hurriedly and continued: "Princess, Wang has thought about this matter repeatedly, among the three parties, the Zhejiang Party is the most powerful, and the feud between the Zhejiang Party and my Donglin was formed when Shen was the first assistant... The Zhejiang Party is bent on bulldozing our Donglin, and the two parties of Qi and Chu share the same hatred of the enemy, in order to avenge the revenge of Xinhai Jingcha, they formed an alliance, so that our Donglin is subject everywhere, and I have to retreat..."

Wang Wenyan talked eloquently, but when he said that Donglin must be "I Donglin", he inadvertently linked him with the Donglin upstarts here, which was quite smart.

Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others agree with Wang Wenyan's analysis because it is a fact.

Seeing Yang Lian's eyes blazing, waiting for his next words with interest, Wang Wenyan continued to preach, this time he threw out a terrifying fact, he said: "Princess, Wang has concluded that it will not be long before this court will become the Zhejiang Party again!" ”

"How so?"

Fang Kezhuang did not agree with Wang Wenyan's statement, although the three parties in the court have formed a group, it is still unacceptable to say that the Zhejiang Party will be dominant.

The rest of the people are also sexual.

Wang Wenyan said: "Because of one person." ”

Zuo Guangdou said in a deep voice: "Who? ”

"It's that auxiliary Fang Congzhe..."

Wang Wenyan looked like a temple in his chest, "Fang Congzhe is a member of the Zhejiang Party, and he and Shen have always been the same raccoon dogs, and they definitely want to monopolize power, and the so-called side of the couch will not allow others to sleep soundly..."

"If Fang Congzhe wants to control the cabinet, he has to pass my mentor first." Miao Changqi shook his head, looking disapproving.

Wang Wenyan said: "I heard that the Fuqing Xianggong has sent dozens of requests to His Majesty this year, although His Majesty has not approved, but according to the temper of the Fuqing Xianggong, I am afraid that he will finally learn the temple Zhu Xianggong, and when the time comes, this party will be the first assistant from Zheke." ”

"This..."

Including Miao Changqi, several people were stunned, yes, His Majesty did not allow the Fuqing Xianggong to be a minister, but who dared to guarantee that the Fuqing Xianggong would not leave.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if this Fang Congzhe becomes the first assistant, how will he treat me Donglin? As you might expect... Therefore, Wang begged the public not to sit still, and he had to preemptively cut off Fang Congzhe's idea of being the first assistant. ”

"Reasonable!"

Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and the others couldn't help but nod after hearing this, they still can't understand why Shoufu Ye Xianggao wants to introduce Fang Congzhe of the Zhejiang Party into the cabinet, and he has continued to resign since this year, isn't this the wolf introduced into the room, and the child was sent to the wolf's mouth.

As a student of Ye Xianggao, Miao Changqi was also puzzled by the teacher's move.

"According to you, how did you break Fang Congzhe's thoughts?" Zuo Guangdou had already gotten up.

"If you want to destroy the three parties, you should first attack the Zhejiang Party, and this Zhejiang Party has a fatal place at the moment, as long as the princes are staring at the fatal place of the Zhejiang Party, Your Majesty is furious, and Fang Congzhexiu wants to be the main cabinet." Wang Wenyan said.

Yang Lian's eyes moved: "What is this fatal place?" ”

"It's the Wei eunuch that the princes just said!"

Wang Wenyan arched his hand at Yang Lian, "Wang heard that Shen has always given His Majesty a secret revelation, and since then, there have been two provinces in the southeast of Zhejiang and Fujian that have not been allowed by the imperial court to send troops to the east, and this matter is promoted by Wei Eunuch in the name of fake maritime affairs, so Wang expects that the Zhejiang Party will conspire with Wei Eunuch." And this Wei Eunuch is the fatal part of breaking the Zhejiang Party, and it is also the fuse of breaking the three-party alliance! ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and said with some righteous indignation: "In the more than 200 years since the founding of our dynasty, there has never been an inner temple that dares to obstruct the affairs of the vassals, and privately transferred the pro-army to provoke the army, and even made friends with the ministers of the DPRK and China. ”

"Brother Gong, what do you think?"

Yang Lian's eyes flickered, staring at Zuo Guangdou.

Wang Wenyan is also looking forward to it, he heard Yu Youli say that Zuo Guangdou is extremely decisive in handling things, and he plays well, whenever there is something in the court, the Donglin Party members of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will recommend Zuo Guangdou to come forward to do things, or entrust him to come to the scene to break it. This person is another leader in the Donglin Party in addition to Yang Lian, if Wang Wenyan can become close friends with Yang and Zuo at the same time, he will be able to influence the entire Donglin Party through Yang and Zuo in the future.

"Brother Wang is right, then Wei Gelding is indeed the fatal point of the Zhejiang Party. Hmph, the Zhejiang Party colluded with the eunuch temple to corrupt the country's law, and the ill intentions were clearly exposed! ”

Zuo Guangdou stepped forward to hold Wang Wenyan's hand and praised: "If it weren't for Brother Wang's awakening, I would really be killed." ”

"Getting rid of the traitorous party and getting rid of the villain is within my generation." Wang Wenyan was excited in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

Xiong Mingyu also got up and said: "In this way, as long as the Wei eunuch is defeated, it is the Zhejiang party, and His Majesty will definitely anger Fang Congzhe when he is angry, and at that time, the three parties are in addition to one party, and the remaining two parties of Qi and Chu are not to worry." ”
