Chapter 236: Secretly Helping Donglin
After listening to Qin Hui's explanation, Zhu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, slowly sat down again, and then continued to ask:
"Qin Shun, apart from these, what else have you heard?"
Qin Shun listened to Zhu Hao's words, thought for a moment, and then continued to speak:
"In addition, the lower officials also heard that the banners of Dongchang are forging criminal evidence of Donglin officials everywhere, and more than ten officials have been secretly arrested by Dongchang."
Zhu Hao listened to Qin Hui's report, the anger on his face disappeared a little just now, and his face became a little playful and asked:
"How could there be such a thing?"
"Those Donglin parties will be so easy to bully?"
"Didn't they fight back?"
The reason why Zhu Hao's expression was abnormal was because this situation was one of the reasons why he left the capital, so when he heard the news, he was not only not angry, but also a little excited to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
If it weren't for the presence of Gongsun Ce and Qin Hui, if he wanted to maintain the majesty of the superior, he would probably have to jump to his feet and clap his hands at this moment.
Please, who has the skill of "speculating on the will", looked at Zhu Hao's abnormal reaction, and instantly understood what Zhu Hao was thinking, so after he heard Zhu Hao's rhetorical question, he immediately replied:
"Those Donglin parties have fought back!"
"They united with many ministers of the court to impeach Wei Zhongxian's illegal acts, but Wei Zhongxian, as a eunuch with a pen, was seized by him, and His Majesty didn't see it at all!"
"And because Your Majesty has been unwell recently, and he hasn't been in the court for more than half a month, so they can't see the emperor's face, so their counterattack is meaningless at all."
"Even if rumors reached the ears of the emperor, the emperor didn't believe the words of those courtiers, so Wei Zhongxian not only did not receive any punishment, but relied on the emperor's trust and became more and more unscrupulous!"
Zhu Hao listened to Qin Hui's words, and said secretly in his heart: "The Donglin Party is so easy to deal with? Is Wei Zhongxian too strong, or are they too weak, how do you feel that the two are not in the same rank at all? ”
Thinking like this, Zhu Hao was a little puzzled by this, but Zhu Hao pondered slightly, and he figured out why the Donglin Party was not Wei Zhongxian's opponent.
Because although the Donglin Party is a party, it is still loyal to the country in its bones, so it naturally will not do anything excessive, and all they can do is impeach Wei Zhongxian.
And Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch, he only has the concept of interest first in his bones, and he will naturally do whatever it takes to do things, and he relies on the emperor's favor to have the biggest bargaining chip against the Donglin Party.
Therefore, these people from the Donglin Party are naturally not Wei Zhongxian's opponents, and Zhu Hao, who understands this, couldn't help but sigh secretly: "This is really a bit of a mess to kill the master!" ”
At this moment, Zhu Hao finally understood why the Donglin Party, which was in power in history, was defeated and retreated by Wei Zhongxian, who had no foundation, and had no power to fight back, and the fundamental reason was here.
Zhu Hao thought about this, and had an idea in his heart, he couldn't let Wei Zhongxian win so easily this time, if this was the case, it would not be in line with Zhu Hao's idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, so Zhu Hao decided to secretly help the Donglin Party.
Zhu Hao wanted to secretly help the Donglin Party, not because he had any good feelings for the Donglin Party, let alone sympathize with the Donglin Party's suffering, but because he wanted the two parties to fight back and forth, and be evenly matched, so that he could pacify Liaodong with peace of mind.
After Zhu Hao had such an idea, he opened his mouth and said to Gongsun Ce:
"Gongsun, this king has given you a task, you do it now, this king is waiting for you here!"
Gongsun Ce heard that Zhu Hao had something to tell him, so he hurriedly spoke:
"Your Highness, please!"
"Wechen will definitely do his best!"
Seeing that Gongsun Ce agreed so happily, Zhu Hao couldn't help but nod slightly, and then said:
"This king ordered you to contact the Donglin Party members now, and jointly participate in Wei Zhongxian!"
"Just tell those people in the Donglin Party that you have a way to make the song fold go straight to the front, let them write overnight, and you can submit it to the emperor tomorrow!"
Gongsun Ce listened to Zhu Hao's words, frowned slightly, and then said with a sad face:
"Your Highness, you told Weichen to do something, Weichen didn't dare to shirk!"
"However, everyone in this court knows that the reason why Weichen can be appointed as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion is because His Highness vigorously protects, and Weichen has been His Highness's attendant, Weichen is afraid that these Donglin Party will not believe Weichen's words!"
Zhu Hao listened to Gongsun Ce's words, shook his head slightly, and then said:
"Gongsun, you can do it with confidence!"
"This king assures you that those people from the Donglin Party will definitely believe you!"
Gongsun Ce listened to Zhu Hao's words so firmly, although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't shirk anymore, but said:
"Since His Highness said so, then Weichen will try it!"
Zhu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then signaled that Gongsun Ce could go to work.
After Gongsun Ce withdrew from the room, Zhu Hao also sent Qin Hui away, and after the two left, in the entire study, there was only Zhu Hao left alone, but fortunately, Zhu Hao has now adapted to this kind of coldness of being alone.
The reason why Zhu Hao said so firmly just now that the Donglin Party will definitely cooperate with Gongsun Ce to write a joint impeachment of Wei Zhongxian is based on three points.
The first point is because Zhu Hao understands that the Donglin Party is now desperate and has reached the point where it is desperate to go to the doctor.
The second point is that because the Donglin Party did not know that Zhu Hao had returned to Beijing, these people would not have thought that there would be Zhu Hao's shadow in this matter, so they would not think too much about whether Gongsun Ce was Zhu Hao's person.
The third point is that because Zhu Hao has not seen Gongsun Ce in private for a long time, these Donglin Party people will think that Zhu Hao and Gongsun Ce have parted ways, and Gongsun Ce himself is also a scholar, so it is easy to gain the trust of these scholars in the Donglin Party.
Based on the above three points, Zhu Hao will be so sure.
In fact, after Gongsun Ce left Zhu Hao's palace, he first visited Zhao Nanxing, the leading figure of the Donglin Party and the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry.
After Zhao Nanxing heard Gongsun Ce's intention, he just groaned slightly, then held Gongsun Ce's hand tightly, and said words of thanks in his mouth, of course, what he said was not his personal thanks, but under the guise of serving the country and the people.
Then Zhao Nanxing asked people to contact the ministers of the court and come to his mansion, and then he personally wrote the folds, and thanked him with six origami lengths.
Zhao Nanxing is worthy of being the leader of the Donglin Party, his writing is really first-class, the article compares Wei Zhongxian to Zhao Gao, and scolds Wei Zhongxian for being incomplete, according to what he said in the article, Wei Zhongxian is not enough to forgive his crime even if he is cut with a thousand knives.
After Zhao Nanxing wrote the fold, he read it very complacently, asked the officials to sign it, and then carefully handed the fold to Gongsun Ce, and told Gongsun Ce to be careful in everything.
